The doctor concubine who broke off the engagement was forced to rush to the wedding, but became the

When I entered the database, I saw many officials busy in front of the bookshelves, one was responsible for checking and the other was responsible for recording.

The easy job of checking was mostly done by high-ranking officials like Lu Xiuzhu, while those responsible for recording were lower-level officials of the Secretariat or borrowed students from the Imperial Academy.

Lu Xiuzhu and Xie Zhichan divided the work in this way. Lu Xiuzhu was responsible for checking and Xie Zhichan was responsible for recording.

After being busy for a whole morning, Xie Zhichan did not see the test papers of this year's candidates, nor did he see the household registration books of the admitted candidates.

Finally, he couldn't help but whisper to Lu Xiuzhu: "Where is the thing we are looking for?"

Lu Xiuzhu frowned and said, "It seems that I didn't get any."

Xie Zhichan: "...Why didn't you say so earlier that you weren't assigned to this position?!"

Lu Xiuzhu explained hurriedly: "The task was temporarily assigned today. Before coming in today, no one knew which part of the task they would be assigned. Don't worry, when it's lunch time, everyone will go out to eat lunch. We can use the excuse of being busy for a while and stay here to look for it."

Xie Zhichan: “…”

It seems that this is the only way. I just hope that bastard Pei Yi can control himself outside and not get anxious and think that something has happened to her in there and try to come in and take her out, otherwise all my efforts will be wasted.

Finally it was lunch time. The adults in the database went out for lunch one after another. Only Lu Xiuzhu, Xie Zhichan, and a minor official in charge of recording, whose name was unknown, were left in the database. They were sweeping the dust on the bookshelf with a duster.

Xie Zhichan really couldn't wait any longer. If he waited any longer, those people who had just gone to eat would come back.

She walked straight towards the official, and asked with a smile, "Sir, it's lunch time, aren't you going to have lunch?"

The minor official glanced at Xie Zhichan and said, "No, my boss said it's time for him to eat, so I'll just sweep the dust off these books that have been put away for a long time so he can check them when he comes back." After saying that, he started dusting again.

Xie Zhichan asked: "Aren't you hungry?"

The official said, "I'm not hungry. I brought some steamed buns with me. I'll just eat some after I finish sweeping the ashes. Sir, go eat quickly. I have to get back to work."

When Xie Zhichan saw that the official was stubborn, he knew that he would not listen to advice. After thinking for a while, he took out a cigarette from the space and quietly released it. Then he said to the official: "Although you are not hungry, I think you are sleepy."

The official was about to say that he was not sleepy, but then he felt his eyelids were too heavy to lift. He just wanted to sleep and muttered, "It seems that I am really sleepy--".

Before he could finish his words, he closed his eyes and slid down the bookshelf to the ground.

Xie Zhichan supported the young official and let him lean against the bookshelf, and whispered, "If you feel sleepy, take a nap. Young man, don't work so hard."

Lu Xiuzhu came over and saw it, and asked in surprise: "Ayuan, how did you do it?"

Xie Zhichan stood up and replied, "I have a plan. Stop talking nonsense and find something."

The two of them then started looking through the information stored in the most recent year, and finally found this year's examination papers without spending much time.

Fortunately, the test papers in the warehouse have been unsealed, so the names of the candidates can be seen directly.

Xie Zhichan quickly turned to Yang Zhuoyan's test paper. Just as Lu Xiuzhu was about to ask her how long it would take her to memorize it, he looked out and saw Xie Zhichan's finger moving under one column of handwriting, then began to move under the second column of handwriting, and soon moved under several lines.

Until her finger ran over the last line of content, she put the test paper away and put it back on the shelf, then turned to the paper of a candidate named Guo Yi and quickly browsed through it.

When Xie Zhichan opened the household registration information of the candidate, Lu Xiuzhu finally realized that Ah Yuan had memorized all of it?!

It was not until Xie Zhichan put the household registration information back on the shelf that Lu Xiuzhu said, "You read it so quickly, maybe you have forgotten some of it? We still have some time, you can take another look."

Xie Zhichan didn't dare to say that she remembered every word, so she just said, "Don't worry, just remember the general idea."

After that, she suddenly thought about it and asked Lu Xiuzhu, "Are these the test papers of the failed candidates? Where are the test papers of the successful candidates?"

Lu Xiuzhu took one out from the shelf and said, "This last one is for the last successful candidate."

Xie Zhichan quickly glanced through it again and quickly put the test paper back on the shelf.

Lu Xiuzhu felt relieved as today's work was finally done.

At this moment, someone's voice was heard at the door, "This subordinate greets Lord Cao."

Then Cao Jiqiao's voice replied: "I see the door to the database is still open, but is there anyone inside?"

The man replied, "It was Master Lu and Xue Jiansheng. They said they would be busy for a while."

Xie Zhichan remembered that there was a young official sleeping next to the bookshelf, so he said to Lu Xiuzhu, "You go hold him back, I'll go wake him up."

Lu Xiuzhu knew that there was no time to waste, so he walked a few steps to the door and bowed to Cao Jiqiao, saying, "Greetings, Lord Cao. Have you had lunch yet?"

Cao Jiqiao glanced at Lu Xiuzhu and said, "I was just planning to go, but I heard from your colleagues that you were still busy, so I came to see you."

Lu Xiuzhu said, "Thank you for your concern. I don't have much to do here, and I almost finished it this morning. I'm just worried about making mistakes. If I miss a single mistake, won't I have to do it all over again? So I'm organizing it slowly, thinking of roughly checking what I counted this morning to avoid mistakes."

Cao Jiqiao nodded and said, "You are indeed different from those who only know how to act recklessly. It is a good thing for young people to have their own way of doing things. But you also need to take care of your health and eat well."

Lu Xiuzhu nodded and said, "Yes. I only have a few things left to do this afternoon, so I don't need Xue You's help anymore. I'll tell him I'm going to have lunch, and let him go home and have a good meal. He's been busy all morning."

After listening to what Lu Xiuzhu said, Cao Jiqiao saw that there was nothing wrong with the database, so he turned around and left.

Lu Xiuzhu's heart finally settled down. He turned around and went in. He saw that the sleepy official had woken up and was dusting with a feather duster. He was still mumbling, "Strange, how did I fall asleep?"

Lu Xiuzhu was eager to send Xie Zhichan out, so he pulled her and said, "I'll take you out."

Xie Zhichan agreed and followed Lu Xiuzhu out.

Lu Xiuzhu then escorted her out of the Secretariat office and all the way to the street corner. He watched her get on Pei Yi's carriage before he heaved a sigh of relief.

Pei Yi lifted the carriage curtain and said to Lu Xiuzhu: "I owe you a favor today. If you need anything in the future, I will definitely help you."

Lu Xiuzhu only felt that he was helping Ayuan voluntarily, so why should Pei Yi do him a favor? But if Ayuan wanted to divorce Pei Yi in the future, he didn't know whether Pei Yi would be willing, so he accepted the favor first, and it would not be too late to ask Pei Yi for it in the future.
