Jing Li put his arm around Qin Zhao's neck and rubbed his cold face against it: "Is it heavy?"
Qin Zhao's mouth curved slightly: "Chen, have you gained weight again these days?"
"..." Jing Li's smile froze for a moment, and he said guiltily, "No, no way... I'm not fat."
"No? But I feel here..." Qin Zhao raised one hand and patted Jing Li's waist gently.
Everything is implied.
Jing Li said firmly: "It must be because he is wearing too much!"
Qin Zhao just smiled and said nothing.
This was meant to tease him, of course. Jing Li had a small frame and was lightweight, so he didn't feel heavy at all when carried on his back. However, perhaps because of his recent good appetite, the little guy's waist and abdomen did look a little rounder.
This was what Qin Zhao discovered last night when he hugged him to sleep.
Of course, Qin Zhao wanted to make the man fatter, as he was too thin before.
Qin Zhao carried the person back to the pharmacy. Another hour later, Chen Yanan also handed in his paper and went straight to the pharmacy.
"I've taken the exam for three years now. If I fail again, my mother will beat me to death." This was the first thing he said when he arrived at the pharmacy.
Jing Li was helpless.
I had thought his test anxiety would subside after the exam, but he was still like this. And it looked like he would be like this until the results were announced in three days.
Qin Zhao said, "Go and persuade him."
"Me?" Ayi blinked doubtfully, then tilted his head to glance at Chen Yan'an who was sitting opposite him. "But I... I'm not very good at speaking."
"That's fine." Qin Zhao said gently, "We'll just look after the shop. You can go out with him for a walk. We'll meet at the restaurant tonight."
Ayi nodded: "Okay."
They have been busy with the scientific examinations these days, and Ayi was worried that he could not help. It was good that Qin Zhao gave him something to do.
Ayi walked to Chen Yanan and said something to him with his head down.
The latter suddenly looked up, his expression full of surprise, and nodded repeatedly.
The two of them quickly left the shop. Jing Li tutted, "Don't you want to get involved in their business? Why are you giving him the opportunity?"
Qin Zhao withdrew his gaze and lowered his head to continue sorting out the medicinal materials account: "I just think his appearance is an eyesore in the shop."
Jing Li smiled lightly and didn't expose her.
Qin Zhao is really good to Chen Yanan.
Even though they had some unpleasantness in the past, Qin Zhao never took it to heart. Jing Li knew that he was not simply grateful for saving his life, he truly regarded this person as a friend.
Sure enough, when they met at the restaurant they had booked in the evening, Chen Yanan had regained his former vitality.
He looked so smug that if you didn't know him, you would think he had won the first place in the county examination.
.
The next day, at the county government office.
In the study, the county magistrate and several legal advisors were reviewing papers.
Pei An, as the most trusted legal advisor by the county magistrate and the examiner who set the examination papers, sat on the county magistrate's right and sorted and classified the examination papers handed in by other legal advisors.
Grading the imperial examination papers was not as simple as judging right or wrong. Each paper had to be reviewed by all the examiners present in turn. Once the examiner deemed the answer acceptable, they would pass it on to the next examiner, and so on, until everyone had read it and handed it to Pei An.
Similarly, everyone has the right to cut off the test paper.
If the examination paper is intercepted, there will be one chance to review it after the marking is completed. If there are still examiners who think the examination paper is unqualified during the review, the candidate will fail.
As for the examination papers handed to Pei An, they were the candidates who had passed the county examination.
What he had to do, in addition to reviewing the test papers like other examiners, was to classify them and rank them roughly.
However, the ranking he made is only a reference. As for the final ranking, it will be decided by the county magistrate.
Pei An slowly divided the test papers into two parts, good and bad. Before he finished, he heard his own county magistrate anxiously say, "Let me see these first."
Pei An answered "yes" and handed in the test papers that he thought were better.
The county magistrate flipped through it quickly.
Pei An watched his movements, then glanced at the other examiners below, and said in a low voice, "If you are looking for Qin Zhao's examination paper, I don't think it is among them."
The magistrate stopped and asked: "All the examination papers are covered. How did you know?"
Pei An said: "Of course it's based on my understanding of him."
He was well aware of Qin Zhao's talent. Although these test papers were better, few of them were outstanding and should not have been made by that person.
The county magistrate was a little surprised: "You think so highly of him?"
Pei An: "Isn't it the same for you, sir?"
"I'm just curious."
Qin Zhao handed in his papers at noon for all four exams, never delaying for a moment.
He was really curious about what this person would write.
