Reborn to be a mistress, she went crazy killing the legitimate daughter

His Majesty's appointment was delivered to Bo Jinnian, who then took the appointment to the Imperial Academy where the examiner was.

Originally there was still a lot of time, but after Bo Jinnian came back from the disaster relief mission, time became very urgent as the exam would start in more than ten days.

When Bo Jinnian was away, all the work was handled by Bo Jinjue and the chief examiner Shangshu. Now that he is here, he has to take over and fill in the gaps.

Bo Jinnian brought Bo Jinxiu to the Imperial College and asked his men to look after Bo Jinxiu first while he went to meet the chief examiner, the Minister of War Qi Kai.

Qi Kai had always admired Bo Jinnian and did not make things difficult for him. He asked Bo Jinnian to sit down in a friendly manner, asked him some questions about disaster relief, and then turned to business.

"Most of the work has been done while you were away. It was basically done by your second brother Bo Jinjue and his men. I thought he was quite capable, so I didn't get involved too much. Now that you're back, take a look and complete the work so that we can prepare for the big exam."

Bo Jinnian stood up and agreed. Then he took Bo Jinxiu to the lobby where the clerks were, found the head clerk, and asked him to arrange their positions and work.

After Bo Jinxiu entered, he looked carefully. The entire hall was filled with long tables. The clerks were sitting in these rooms, and the tables were piled with documents.

The inner room inside the lobby is the office room for Bo Jinjue and others. Bo Jinjue and Bo Jinnian sit in one room, while the chief examiner Qi Kai sits in a separate room.

After the head clerk arranged the seats, Bo Jinxiu sat down immediately and looked around. The clerks were all busy writing and proofreading.

The clerk handed him the document and placed it on the table, telling him how to handle it. Then he said, "You have to prepare the paper and ink yourself. If you don't have it with you today, go get it from me first."

"No, I brought it myself. I'm not used to yours."

Having said that, he immediately took out the four treasures of the study that he had brought from home, placed them in place, and began to grind ink seriously.

He was a man who really knew how to enjoy life, so naturally the things he used were of the best quality. The scent of ink immediately wafted out, attracting the clerks around him.

"You are not using the famous rouge ink from Huizhou, are you?"

"Isn't this wolf-hair brush of yours also from Huizhou?"

Bo Jinxiu pretended to be casual and said proudly: "I just took it from home."

The chief clerk coughed, and the clerks who had gathered around to watch the fun returned to their seats.

Bo Jinjue walked in with his eyes high up, and didn't notice Bo Jinxiu in the lobby at all. It was not his fault, because Bo Jinxiu was sitting very close to the inside.

"Oh, the deputy examiner is here. I'm going to hand these things over to you. Please check them quickly. If you don't do them well, you can punish me."

Bo Jinxiu looked back secretly and felt unhappy when he heard what Bo Jinjue said.

I thought to myself, Third brother, please find some problems for him and humiliate him in public!

Who knew that Bo Jinnian didn't get angry. Facing Bo Jin's provocation, he just said calmly: "Of course I believe in the work of the chief clerk. There is still time. Even if there are shortcomings, there is still time to correct them."

"Humph! Then you better investigate carefully!"

Qi Kai hadn't left yet. Hearing their conversation, he thought for a moment and came over, smiling and said, "Jinnian, I don't come here often. I'd like to trouble you to look over the paperwork for me. Why don't you come to work at my place?"

Everyone knew what Qi Kai meant. The big exam was approaching, and internal discord could not affect work. Bo Jinnian and Bo Jinjue didn't say anything, and they worked separately.

Bo Jinxiu watched Qi Kai leave, still looking around, and the head clerk coughed and knocked on the table, so he could only unfold the document to read.

His job was very simple. He copied the household registration and other information of each candidate from the ground, and his job was to check whether it was true with what the candidates filled in themselves.

Then he would copy the checked information into a unified format and send it to the clerk next to him for verification and inspection, step by step, until it was finally stamped and compiled into a book.

The work is simple, just work hard.

But this is not easy for Bo Jinxiu.

He brought his own double-mouth teapot and drank while watching. He went to the toilet many times and was then warned for being slow.

"They have to interfere with my drinking tea and going to the toilet. Isn't this government too inhumane?"

However, after his tea dripped onto the document, the chief clerk discovered it and withheld his salary. He then realized that he was in trouble and stopped drinking tea.

Fortunately, meals were provided in the yamen, and the clerks would sit together and eat during their breaks.

Bo Jinxiu was a person who was easy to get along with. Seeing that he used things differently, everyone guessed that he was not a commoner and they got along well with him.

Originally, he wanted to reveal that he was Bo Jinnian's brother, but when he heard the clerks say that Bo Jinjue and Bo Jinnian were against each other, he stopped talking and tried to find out more.

It turned out that Bo Jinjue left a lot of loopholes in this work, setting traps for Bo Jinnian to fall into.

Fortunately, Bo Jinnian checked very carefully and worked overtime to quietly fix all the loopholes.

"You don't know, when I was checking, I found that some candidates' information was incomplete. These needed to be urged to be supplemented by the local authorities. But the chief registrar did not send anyone to do it."

After hearing this, Bo Jinxiu immediately asked, "Ah? What will happen then?"

"If the candidate's information is incomplete, it is inaccurate. This means that he is unwilling to take the exam. If this person fails, it will be fine. If he passes, he will need to recheck his information when he takes the palace exam."

Bo Jinxiu narrowed his eyes: "If something is found wrong at that time, the examiner will be in trouble, right?"

The clerk gathered together and said, "Not only that, the entire exam will be audited. The Censorate and the Imperial College will come to inspect it. It is very likely that this exam will not count!"

Bo Jinxiu's eyes widened: "Is it so serious? Then we must tell Bo Jinnian right away!"

The clerks immediately grabbed Bo Jinxiu and said, "Don't go and bring bad luck! It's too late! How can we send the candidates' household registration information from the local authorities in more than ten days?"

Bo Jinxiu lowered his head and thought about it. Just a small clerical omission could lead to such a huge hidden danger.

Bo Jinjue’s years as the chief clerk were not in vain!

However, Bo Jinxiu was of course on Bo Jinnian's side, and when copying the information, he deliberately said: "Oh, no, I think I got the wrong information!"

The chief clerk became very angry when he heard this, and ordered Bo Jinnian to go into the database and search carefully, and he was not allowed to go back if he couldn't find it.

Bo Jinxiu was eager to do so and immediately went into the database to search for it.

He asked these old clerks how to know which ones were complete and which ones were incomplete.

The clerk said that there was no need to look at the content, just the number of lines of information. Documents all had a prescribed format, and it was clear what was written on each line, so the shorter ones were the ones.

It’s hard to find, after all, there are three thousand candidates!
