"The County Magistrate did this for two reasons."
Hwa Diexiang saw through their minds and explained with a smile, "The first reason, the County Magistrate accidentally met you at the Market Fair, where he saw Scholar Qin dealing with Inspector Liu. He was impressed by your demeanor: neither servile nor arrogant, polite, well-spoken, full of the intellectual integrity of a scholar."
Hua County Official took a sip of the refreshment and continued, "After that encounter, he somewhat regretted not getting to know Scholar Qin directly. When he saw you again at the county government office, he was pleasantly surprised and specially asked me to assess your literacy skills. The result greatly satisfied him, leading to this action."
So, there were underlying reasons for this.
Qin Yi thoughtfully kept silent.
Su Pan'er sat quietly on the side, as if she did not exist at all.
