In the middle of the shelf, there is a row of popular notebooks displayed brightly.
The one placed at the top is the third volume of "Spring Boudoir Secrets".
Qin Zhao: "..."
Jing Li was still flipping through a book, trying to pick out words he knew, and didn't notice him. Qin Zhao's eyes flickered slightly, and he calmly pulled out a book and tucked it into his pile of exam books.
As the clerk counted the books, he said, "Have you finally decided to take the imperial examination? Our boss has been telling you that you should try, or else it would be a waste of such excellent knowledge. Alas, our boss's son will be taking the imperial examination for the third time next year, and I wonder if he'll pass."
The bookshop clerk was a chatterbox who never stopped talking. He picked up the copy of "Spring Boudoir Secrets" and was stunned for a moment, his eyebrows raised. "So you read this too?"
Jing Li looked up.
Handwritten books are bound to have errors and omissions, so Qin Zhao bought only printed books for the sake of caution. Most of the printed books in the store looked the same, with indigo covers and the titles written on the covers. From the outside, there was no difference.
But the cover of the book in the guy's hand actually had some patterns painted on it. It was not only thinner than other books, but the color of the cover was also slightly lighter than other books.
Jing Li didn't recognize the characters on it and asked, "Is this also a book for the imperial examination?"
Qin Zhao's expression was calm without a trace of flaws. He nodded: "Yes."
Buddy: “?”
Qin Zhao slowly raised his eyelids and glanced at him.
Buddy: “…”
The clerk understood and nodded to Jing Li: "Yes, it is a book for the imperial examination."
Printed books were much more expensive than handwritten copies, and a stack of books cost over five hundred wen. However, Jing Li never tried to save money on such important matters. He happily paid the bill and left with Qin Zhao, carrying the books.
The two of them left the shop. The clerk looked at their backs and muttered, "He looks like a decent person."
Know how to play.
He sighed, turned around, and took out a copy of "Spring Boudoir Secrets" and read it in a corner.
.
Qin Zhao and Jing Li went to the market again, bought some daily necessities, and then took a ox cart back to the village.
The two went to the fields first to take a look. The seedlings that were damaged yesterday had indeed been replanted. Even the other vegetables had been taken care of and carefully watered.
"It must have been done by Brother Dali." Jing Li said.
Qin Zhao nodded.
Li Dali is a very honest person, so Qin Zhao did not expect him to do this.
This actually saved the two of them a lot of trouble. They walked around the fields and when they found there was nothing else that needed to be taken care of, they went back home.
As soon as I walked to the bamboo courtyard, I saw a figure sitting at the door of his courtyard.
It was Li Dali.
It was almost noon, and the sun was blazing. Li Dali had no idea how long he had been sitting there, his forehead drenched in sweat.
As soon as he saw Qin Zhao coming from the direction of the fields, he immediately realized that they had already been there to check. He scratched his nose a little embarrassedly and said, "I helped out when I was planting the rice seedlings yesterday."
Qin Zhao nodded at him and pushed open the gate: "Come in and sit down."
Jing Li took the initiative to pack up the things he had bought today. Qin Zhao asked Li Dali to sit down at the table and poured him a bowl of water. "What do you want to talk to me about?"
Li Dali was extremely thirsty. He gulped down a large bowl of water before giving a bitter smile: "It's all for my brother."
Qin Zhao lowered his eyes without answering and poured him another bowl of water.
Li Dali wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Ayu has been a scoundrel since he was young. Even his father can't control him, but he loves his sister Axiu the most, so he will..."
