Chapter 339 Mei Nanhua makes things difficult!
The Ministry of Rites and all the officials in charge of the spring ceremony were there, including the old master Mei Nanhua who was the deputy examiner.
"Old Master, I have admired you for a long time!" Shen Lanxi greeted each of them one by one, and finally greeted Mei Nanhua by name.
What all the officials fear most is for the two of them to confront each other. The woman is narrow-minded and small-minded. The old master has impeached Shen Lanxi several times in the main hall before. Women love to hold grudges, so don't put small shoes on the old master!
Mei Nanhua snorted coldly and turned his head to the side.
Shen Lanxi smiled and sat down on the main seat without being annoyed.
"Your Majesty assigned me to take charge of this imperial examination and designated me as the chief examiner. From now on, we will all be colleagues. If you have anything to say, you can say it without restraint."
The officials were embarrassed for a while.
They never dreamed that one day a woman would say such things to them.
Shen Lanxi: "You also know that I am a martial artist and not literate. I have to help you with the imperial examination!"
The officials twitched their mouths, smiled and agreed, but did not speak.
They really didn't know what to say. The Lord was a man. Even if he was an unlearned person, they could still hold his nose and flatter him.
However, Shen Lanxi is a woman. How can they, men, be so humble and flattering to a woman?
It simply loses the moral integrity and decency of a scholar.
All the officials responded perfunctorily, thinking that they would give Shen Lanxi face and get over the meeting as soon as possible, but Shen Lanxi suddenly spoke.
"The examination questions for this imperial examination include Master Lao Mei."
Mei Nanhua's face was extremely pale. He was a leading figure in the literary world of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He was naturally responsible for important matters such as the imperial examination to rejuvenate the country. But when it came out of Shen Lanxi's mouth, it felt like she was ordering him to do something, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
Even His Majesty wanted to give him a thumbs-down, but Shen Lanxi, a prostitute, dared to speak to him in a commanding tone.
She is a perverse person who overturns Tiangang. If Mei Nanhua doesn't teach her a lesson today, she doesn't know how rampant she will be in the future.
"I have presided over no less than ten imperial examinations and participated in no less than dozens of examination appointment appointments. I have never made any mistakes. Lord Shen can rest assured about this."
Shen Lanxi seemed not to have heard the hurried tone in this sentence, and said calmly: "Your Majesty and I naturally trust Lord Mei, otherwise we would not let Lord Mei serve as the deputy examiner!"
Speaking of the position of deputy examiner, Mei Nanhua's face was filled with humiliation.
He was once a majestic grand master and had more than three thousand disciples. Now he is serving as his deputy to a woman who is so vulgar and sinister. It is simply a shame and a great humiliation!
"Master Shen, you are the examiner this time. What do you think of the imperial examination questions?"
The officials of the Ministry of Rites all looked at it as if they were watching a good show. The old master's words were a direct sarcastic comment on Shen Lanxi's incompetence.
Shen Lanxi raised her eyebrows: "I don't believe my opinion is right. The imperial examination is coming soon. If Lord Mei still has no clue, I can only recommend other talents and those who are capable will be appointed!"
The last sentence was to fight back fiercely at Mei Nanhua.
This was outrageous. Shen Lanxi dared to humiliate him like this?
Who among them is unworthy of sitting in the position of examiner?
Shen Lanxi is so good at confusing right and wrong.
"Master Shen, do you think I am incompetent?" Mei Nanhua stopped beating around the bush and glared at Shen Lanxi coldly.
The officials would not let the two of them really confront each other, and His Majesty's intention was very obvious. Shen Lanxi is just a decoration. The real examiner of the imperial examination is still the old master. Why should the old master compare this to reality?
"Master Mei, please don't misunderstand me. I just fought back based on what Master Mei said!"
"The appointments of the chief examiner and deputy examiner are all appointed by His Majesty. If anyone suspects that one of them did not reach his current position by relying on his own strength, he has doubts about His Majesty's vision in selecting candidates."
Mei Nanhua stiffened with a dark face. Unexpectedly, Shen Lanxi used a tiger skin as a banner to move His Majesty out.
"Mr. Mei, do you think I am not capable of being the examiner?" Shen Lanxi looked at Mei Nanhua with a half-smile but a sharp look in her eyes.
The latter's face was livid, his mouth was tightly pursed and his teeth were gritted, and he was too angry to say a word.
Today, if he dares to say that Shen Lanxi is not worthy of being an examiner, he will be charged with questioning His Majesty and disobeying the imperial edict.
Shen Lanxi is simply too sinister.
"We are all officials in the same dynasty and have been appointed to take charge of the imperial examination. Your Majesty has a very good eye for people. Sirs, let's quickly select the address for this imperial examination. Seeing that the imperial examination time is getting closer, His Majesty has to push forward every day, and we really can't delay any longer, otherwise we will be punished together!" Officials from the Ministry of Rites stepped forward to smooth things over.
Mei Nanhua turned his head to the side with a livid face.

"Master Shen, the old master has recently been unable to think about food and drink and cannot sleep at night because of the imperial examination questions. It is inevitable that he will be very angry. Please forgive me, Master Shen!"
"Please also ask Mr. Shen Haihan..."
"We are responsible for the imperial examination together. We will both be prosperous and suffer losses..."
All the officials tried to persuade her, and after some hesitation, Shen Lanxi nodded reluctantly.
"Just now you were talking about choosing a location for the imperial examination? In the past, the imperial examination was held wherever it was held. I guess your majesty is not willing to waste people and money!" Shen Lanxi said.
Officials from the Ministry of Rites said yes repeatedly.
After that, Shen Lanxi answered some innocuous questions. When the dismissal time came, she got up and left without saying a word.
Mei Nanhua also thought that if Shen Lanxi wanted to interfere with the imperial examination questions, he would have to fight with Shen Lanxi to the end even if he risked his life. Unexpectedly, she didn't even mention it.
I think it was my first time taking office, so I was saving face. Afterwards, she will definitely bring up the test questions and stuffing people. As long as Mei Nanhua is alive, she will not let Shen Lanxi succeed!
……
Shen Lanxi and Shen Congwen left their jobs and returned to Shen Mansion.
It was like a shadow shrouded the sky above the Shen Mansion, and even the servants did not dare to breathe loudly.
"Evil girl, if you don't teach me a lesson, you will become lawless!" After Shen Congwen heard the cause and effect from Mrs. Shen, his face turned livid with anger, and he immediately sent someone to escort Shen Yuantang to the back house.
On the way back, I met Sun Feng who went to Dali Temple to look for her. Sun Feng learned from Sun Feng that Shen Yuantang went to the Marquis of Jining's Mansion and openly questioned why the Marquis of Jining had broken off the engagement. He also relied on his martial arts skills to injure the servants and young ladies of the Marquis of Jining's Mansion, and even made the Marquis of Jining's wife faint from anger.
Sun Feng didn't do much checking and easily found Shen Yuantang. When they rushed over, Shen Yuantang was confronting the people of the Jining Hou Mansion with a stick. It was not the servants who couldn't defeat him, but Shen Yuantang who was shouting loudly for his majesty's uncle.
Shen Lanxi looked at Shen Congwen's anger with a blank expression, and her heart was dark. She could not imagine how a sister from the same mother could become like this.
"Let me go, grandma, save me..." Shen Yuantang broke free from his mother-in-law's grasp a few times and ran to Mrs. Shen for help.
