Transmigrated into a female county magistrate during a famine, leading her country to prosperity

Just as Pei Zhaoqi was stunned, Fang Ziyan, who was sitting on the other side of Li Hongmao, also picked up a piece of pig intestine and put it in his bowl.

"This is my favorite dish, come and try it!"

Pei Zhaoqi looked at his heartless appearance, sighed in his heart, and couldn't help but chuckle.

This is not the first day he has known that Fang Ziyan is stupid.

Why should I compete with him? Maybe I have already played out a big drama in my heart and Fang Ziyan is completely unaware of it.

After Pei Zhaoqi figured it out, he picked up the meat and pig intestines in the bowl and started eating.

The pig intestines were high in oil and salt, and they filled his taste buds as soon as he put them in his mouth. He couldn't help but let out a breath of hot air.

A quarter of an hour later, everyone finished their meal and went their separate ways.

Li Hongmao frowned as he looked at Fang Ziyan's increasingly plump figure.

Being cute is very cute, but if you don't control it and let the flesh on his body continue to grow, then being too fat will affect his health.

He thought for a moment, then called out to Pei Zhaoqi and Fang Ziyan who were about to return to their rooms.

"You two can walk around the courtyard with me to help digest our food. We can then go back to our rooms to rest."

Pei Zhaoqi was originally planning to go back and read for a while, but after hearing what his master said, he agreed immediately.

He actually likes to stay with his master, who will tell them about his experiences.

Pei Zhaoqi seemed to be able to imagine a world he had never seen from his words.

What he loved to hear most was his master telling them about the scene of taking the examination, the hardships on the journey, and other things that happened during the examination.

The master said that some of his fellow candidates could not stand such a serious atmosphere and fainted in the examination room.

When Pei Zhaoqi heard this, he felt a little sad. He had studied hard for many years, but was unable to succeed because of his lack of psychological endurance.

The master also said that another student had a stomach upset the day before and farted continuously during the exam, affecting the people around him.

When he heard this, he couldn't help holding his breath, as if he could smell that smell too.

Pei Zhaoqi was looking forward to it. What kind of stories would the master tell them today?

But Fang Ziyan had no expectations at all.

After dinner every day, he had only one thought in his mind.

Go back to your room and sleep!

He didn't know why, but every time he ate, he felt very tired.

But as soon as he finished his meal, his brain seemed to be slowly eaten away by sleepiness, and he fell asleep as soon as he touched the bed.

At this moment, Fang Ziyan's face suddenly turned bitter, and his words were filled with reluctance and pleading:

"Master, can I go back to my room and sleep today? Can we digest the food tomorrow afternoon?"

Pei Zhaoqi suddenly became a little anxious. What if Fang Ziyan didn't go and the master didn't go either?

He immediately retorted: "Digestion should be done before bed and after meals. How can we digest food in the afternoon?"

Fang Ziyan pouted. He had never been able to argue with Pei Zhaoqi, but he really wanted to sleep.

For the sake of his health, Li Hongmao didn't want to spoil him today.

"Zhao Qi is right, let's go."

He spoke in a gentle voice. Although his tone was not strong, his words did not give Fang Ziyan the opportunity to refuse.

Seeing that the two of them did not listen to him today, Fang Ziyan followed them to the yard even though he was reluctant.

Li Hongmao walked in front, followed by Pei Zhaoqi and Fang Ziyan.

As the night deepened, only the sparse footsteps of the master and his two disciples could be heard in the courtyard.

As soon as Zhao Xiu walked out of the public kitchen, he saw the backs of Master Li Hongmao and his two disciples in the moonlight.

He thought to himself that this was an opportunity, so he quickened his pace and followed.

He heard Li Hongmao telling his two young disciples about his experiences, so he did not disturb them.

Li Hongmao has a clear voice and speaks at a moderate pace, and the stories he tells are fascinating.

Zhao Xiu couldn't help but listen.

In fact, he had only been out of Tongan County a few times since he was a child, and the world that Li Hongmao described was a world he had never seen.

Just as he was listening intently, the three masters and apprentices in front of him stopped, stood still and turned to look at him.

Zhao Xiu felt a little embarrassed, as he clearly came to see them for something.

At this moment, I feel a bit like someone who follows others and listens to gossip behind their backs.

He smiled awkwardly: "Mr. Li, I was thinking of looking for you for something, but you just spoke so well that I couldn't help but listen to you."

Pei Zhaoqi nodded in agreement. The master explained it very well.

Fang Ziyan was a gossipy person. When he heard that Zhao Xiu wanted to see his master, he asked directly:

"Brother Zhao, what are you talking about?"

At this time, Zhao Xiu was still a little embarrassed, and said, "I'll go get an oil lamp, and we'll go sit in the pavilion and talk."

Fang Ziyan nodded and urged, "Brother Zhao, you have to hurry up. There are many mosquitoes in the pavilion. They all like to bite me but not you!"

Pei Zhaoqi thought that his skin was the whitest and tenderest, so if mosquitoes didn't bite him, who else would they bite?

After the four of them sat down in the pavilion, Li Hongmao took the lead and asked:

"Captain Zhao, why are you looking for me?"

Li Hongmao glanced at Pei Zhaoqi who was standing next to him with a curious look on his face, and took a deep breath nervously.

"Mr. Li, when I was registering the information of the applicants today, thanks to Brother Fang's help, I didn't make a fool of myself in front of everyone. Thank you very much."

Li Hongmao shook his head to indicate that there was no need to thank me.

Now they are all part of the county government. Why would Zhao Xiu need to express his gratitude specifically for such a small matter?

He said, "It's all right. Didn't we agree before that we should support each other?"

Li Hongmao's words warmed Zhao Xiu's heart. Now their county government is truly a big family.

Thinking of this, he gained the courage and directly stated his request.

"Mr. Li, you know that I have never been to school. I only learned a few words when I was a child."

"Thank you for your appreciation, my Lord, for letting me be the head constable of our county government, and for letting me be responsible for the important matter of recruiting constables. Actually, I am still a little nervous in my heart, and I am afraid that I am not qualified for the position of head constable."

Li Hongmao nodded to show his understanding and signaled him to continue with his words with his eyes.

Zhao Xiu paused for a moment, then continued:

"Look, today, I almost missed my job at the county government because of my reading and writing problems. So I thought, this is not a solution. I am not just a constable for today. There will be many similar situations in the future. Am I not hindering the county government and the adults?"

As Zhao Xiu spoke, he felt a little annoyed, as if he had really done something very sorry for the county government.

Li Hongmao probably understood what he meant and said in a gentle voice:

"Captain Zhao is already very capable, and now he is diligent and eager to learn. He will certainly be able to complete the task assigned by the adults."

Zhao Xiu raised his head and said:

"I don't deserve your praise, but I really want to learn how to read and write. Could you ask Brother Fang to teach me?"

When Fang Ziyan heard this, he couldn't help but open his mouth wide.
