To make things easier, Nanzhi asked Yingtao to retrieve the rules for previous scientific expeditions for her.
There are also examination rules from various dynasties for reference.
It took me two days to finish reading everything.
These past two days, Song Hanyan has been feeling sorry for his wife and hasn't been going to the military camp.
I stay home with Nanzhi every day.
"My lady, this is some white fungus soup that I made. Please try it."
Nan Zhi kept her eyes fixed on the document, letting Song Hanyan feed her.
After finishing the bowl, Nanzhi didn't reply with a single word.
Song Hanyan has adapted; she is now like a devoted and loving husband.
He showered her with concern and care every day, wishing he could keep her by his side.
After reading everything, Nanzhi began to write.
Excluding time for sleeping and eating, it took me seven whole days to finish writing.
He had it bound and then took it to the Ministry of Personnel.
The Ministry of Personnel was dominated by civil officials.
Although Nam Gyi has become very famous, in their opinion, his literary talent is still lacking.
What can a rural official do?
They even dared to dream of leading scientific expeditions.
As soon as she entered the door, an official from the Ministry of Personnel looked at her with his chin.
Nanzhi, of course, wouldn't tolerate them.
"These are the regulations for the imperial examinations that I wrote. Take a look, and then let the Emperor take a look. I need to go back and rest now."
After enduring these past few days, I really can't take it anymore.
I feel extremely tired.
The officials from the Ministry of Personnel looked at each other, intending to make a mocking remark.
But there was no chance at all.
They didn't even step inside; they just dropped off their things and left.
The officials immediately delivered the items to the Minister of Personnel.
Wu Wenyuan took the things. "Where is he?"
The official below said, "Master Nan handed over the things and left."
Wu Wenyuan waved for them to leave.
He randomly turned to a page, and in his view, what did a peasant official know?
Having written so much, it's probably all just a bunch of nonsense.
But he was wrong.
After reading just one page, Wu Wenyuan's attitude towards Nanzhi changed drastically.
The entire text is written in a rigorous and precise style, without any superfluous words.
Every sentence revolves around the central government's legal system.
Each and every one of them was written very clearly.
There is always a way to deal with any situation.
Wu Wenyuan quickly packed his things and went to the Golden Palace.
For many days, the emperor was worried about whether Namgyal could win over the Ministry of Personnel.
If all else fails, we can find someone else to host.
This is Eunuch Cao entering from outside the palace.
"Your Majesty, Minister Wu of the Ministry of Personnel has arrived."
The emperor's anxiety finally subsided.
He must have come to complain, but luckily he had chosen someone beforehand.
I was already prepared.
"Announce!"
Wu Wenyuan knelt in the hall and said, "Your subject Wu Wenyuan greets Your Majesty."
The emperor beckoned him to rise.
Wu Wenyuan instructed Eunuch Cao to hand the items to the emperor.
The emperor burst into laughter upon seeing this.
"Indeed, the Ministry of Personnel has not disappointed me this year."
Wu Wenyuan said with shame, "Your Majesty, this book was written by Lord Nan Zhi Nan, and no one in the Ministry of Personnel was involved."
It was the very people they had been mocking who created the most comprehensive set of examination rules for the Central Government.
Wu Wenyuan felt very ashamed.
They thought the other party was completely clueless, but who knew that their first move would leave them far behind.
Nanzhi returned to the mansion and threw herself onto the bed.
I slept soundly until the sun went down.
Song Hanyan felt sorry for her and ordered that no one was allowed to disturb her.
Nanzhi slept soundly until evening before finally waking up.
When I woke up, I saw Song Hanyan by my bedside.
He sat up and fell asleep on the edge of the bed.
Thinking about how much he had been busy for her these past few days, Nanzhi felt a sense of comfort in her heart.
She leaned forward and kissed Song Hanyan on the forehead.
Then I got out of bed.
Completely unaware of the upturned lips of the person lying beside the bed.
As is customary, every year during the scientific expedition, the person in charge would give a speech at the academy.
In previous years, His Majesty personally selected the talents, but this year the task fell to Nanzhi.
After getting dressed in the morning, Nanzhi looked in the mirror.
A light blue robe accentuated her slender figure.
With his hair half-tied up, he had the air of a scholar.
Song Hanyan stood behind her.
"Madam looks radiant today." She is the most beautiful woman in his heart.
Nanzhi smiled and said, "Of course."
Song Hanyan said worriedly, "I will go with you."
Nanzhi waved her hand, "If you go, they won't dare to say anything."
Song Hanyan is a famous general; if he were to go, those scholars and literati would be afraid.
The carriage moved slowly and stopped at the entrance of Nanshan Academy, the premier academy in the central government.
Nanzhi brought peaches today.
"Madam, will the dean make things difficult for you?" Peach asked worriedly.
Nan Zhi said nonchalantly, "He's just an old man, and a great scholar at that. He certainly won't hold it against me."
The dean of Nanshan College is the renowned Tu Shan.
This person is learned and knowledgeable, and has many outstanding students.
The student led Nanzhi to the backyard.
A blue robe and a jade hairpin were all he owned.
Nanzhi had assumed the other person was an old man, but it turned out to be a young man with a refined and otherworldly air.
Judging by his age, he's about the same age as her.
Nanzhi suddenly realized that she seemed to be wearing the same outfit as him.
The other party was also taken aback.
Nan Zhi thought to herself: I mustn't let Song Hanyan see this, or he'll get jealous again.
"Professor Nan, please have a seat."
Nanzhi sat down without any hesitation. Teacups were placed on the table, waiting for her arrival.
Nanzhi casually picked up a pastry from the table.
Tu Shan kept looking at Nan Zhi.
I thought she was a woman from an ordinary noble family, self-disciplined, and respectful of etiquette.
