The on-duty time of Dachang is very loose. Each department operates two shifts, one shift is from Chenshi to noon, and the second shift is from noon to Shenshi.

It spans three hours, but there are only two and a half hours in total. This is a relatively busy department. If it is not so busy, there are only two hours a day.

For example, the Ministry of Rites is the most leisurely on weekdays, followed by the Ministry of War, the busiest are the Ministry of Officials and the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of Industry is on the way to dispatch all year round.

The most mysterious thing is the criminal department. People in this department are cold and don't like to be with the other five departments, let alone other departments.

People in the Ministry of Punishment are also the most difficult to find a wife. It is said that their hands are all stained with blood, and they are not much cleaner than the executioners at Caishikou.

How dare the little ladies marry after hearing such words?

People from different ministries went to different places after they got off duty. Some would go home, and some would stroll in the imperial city. The imperial city is very large and there are many teaching workshops.

It is said that there used to be a brothel in it, but after many indecent things happened, it was abolished by the Queen Mother.

Now the Jiaofangsi in the imperial city are all engaged in serious business. They listen to ditties and play the piano, or find someone to play chess, and show calligraphy or painting, which is extremely elegant.

Some will take advantage of these times to do small businesses permitted by the law.

Of course, there are also people who are as diligent as Emperor Minghua, who have to do everything by themselves, even if the people below have already read it, he has to read it again, and he is so busy every day that he does not touch the ground.

Therefore, Emperor Minghua and the cabinet ministers soaked in the main hall for discussion all the year round.

"So, what does this have to do with our astrology department?" There was a relatively spacious gazebo in the small royal garden, and there were two wooden tables. Ayu was sitting at the wooden table, eating the pastries prepared for her by the glutinous rice balls.

Unexpectedly, in just a few hours, while he was still reading books in the astrology department, Tangyuan had already figured out the situation of several nearby halls.

Not only did I know more than 10 people, but I heard a lot of news. The above-mentioned things were all told by Tangyuan.

While eating the cake, Ayu listened carefully with his eyes open, and couldn't help admiring the glutinous rice balls in his heart.

Ayu's on-duty hours are from Chenshi to noon, so that it is convenient for her to go home before it gets dark.

But when she just arrived, she didn't come off duty immediately, but stayed until the end of the day.

Because the collection of books in the book pavilion is really rich, Ayu discovered some interesting ones, some of which are really related to divination, but most of them have many obvious mistakes and omissions, so Ayu just read them as essays.

Tangyuan handed Ayu a pot of water, lowered her voice and said, "Mr. Xiang, there is a lot of knowledge here! Just like the small kitchen I went to, in fact, the top official is the food workshop, and the food workshop is under the jurisdiction of the queen. There is also the Ministry of Rites assisting, the relationship is complicated."

Even the cakes that Ayu is eating now, there are also some specialties, which ones can be eaten, which tricks can't be done, and which foods should be taboo.

Fortunately, Tangyuan is very good at dealing with different people, especially those who are of the highest rank and those who work under the ground. As long as they figure out their intentions, it is easy for them to tell the truth.

"I've heard that the relationship between the astrology department and the small kitchen is not very good. Their daily meals here are poor." Tang Yuan said with lingering fear, "In the future, we will still pick vegetables in the vegetable garden by ourselves, and I will go back to our house. If the cooks learn more, the township will not have to suffer."

Ayu smiled and rolled her eyes: "Sister Tangyuan, without you, I wouldn't know all of this. I've been in the imperial city for a long time, are you hungry too? Come on, let's finish eating them and go back to eat early .”

Saying that, Ayu patted off the residue on his hand, twisted a pastry with a handkerchief, and stuffed it into the mouth of the glutinous rice balls.

After taking a bite of the glutinous rice balls, she also smirked.

When the two were talking, they suddenly heard noisy voices not far away, and it seemed that many people were talking.

"What's over there?" Ayu asked with a slight glance at his face.

"That's the direction of the Guozijian, but they usually don't take this way to go to the Guozijian. It should be during the imperial examination period, and the other road is temporarily closed. They can only go this way first."

Hearing about Guozijian, Ayu thought of his brothers who were taking scientific examinations.

I don't know how everyone is doing.

The second uncle, Wang Chuangui, was originally a Juren, and it was his first time, so they didn't worry much about him.

Qin Huai himself is knowledgeable enough, he is also intelligent, and he is not rigid, and he is never pedantic when solving problems, so many teachers are very optimistic about him.

As for the rest, Wang Erlang and Wang Sanlang passed the Juren examination, Shiro and Qilang failed the ranking, and Wang Wulang and Wang Liulang are still only scholars.

Erlang and Saburo don't know how they did in the exam.

"I hope everyone will do well in the exam."

[Bao, do you want me to help you see them? 】

Ayu was a little moved.

Ayu is now in the imperial city, so Tuanzi doesn't need to make any effort to find out some news.

"Just to see if they did well on the test."

Since you have this ability, look at it and feel at ease.

【Uh-huh. 】

Tuanzi was just looking at it casually, but saw a remarkable scene.

[Hey, someone is cheating and trying to frame your fiancé! 】

"What?!" Ayu stood up, so surprised that the pastry fell off.

In Dachang, cheating in the examination room is a serious crime, especially in the Jinshi examination room, it is serious to ransack your home and lose your head!

The glutinous rice balls are unknown, so: "Xiangjun, what's the matter?"
