Chapter 234 Sun Shan is actually Zheng Hongwen

He stayed at home for two days, during which Yang Qingbei came to play with Sun Shan.

Sun Shan looked at Qingbei for a while. He was becoming more and more handsome, completely different from Dege'er's sturdy appearance.

He speaks softly and politely, not at all like a country boy or the foolish son of a landlord. Instead, he looks like a scholar.

It’s a pity that there is no opportunity to take the imperial examination path in Peking University and Tsinghua University.

Sun Shan carefully shared with him the situation of the provincial examination and the content of the examination.

After hearing this, Yang Qingbei said in distress: "Ashan, I can't even solve the questions you asked. It seems that I was right not to take the imperial examination."

Sun Shan shook his head in his heart. Zheng's School didn't teach the content of the imperial examination, so how could Peking University and Tsinghua University understand it?

Zheng's School tends to be practical; it teaches students how to read, read notices, calculate, and do accounting.

As for poetry, songs, the Four Books and Five Classics, and eight-legged essays, how could they teach them?

Afterwards, Sun Shan followed Zheng Hongyuan and Zheng Hongwen back to the school.

Su said with concern: "Shanzi, it's okay if you don't do well in the exam. Don't worry about it. You are still young. There is no need to rush. Our goal is to participate in the exam and gain experience."

Sun Bomin and Huang had the same attitude, fearing that Sun Shan would be sad because of his poor performance in the provincial examination.

Sun Shan patted his chest and assured, "Grandma, Dad, Mom, don't worry. I won't cry even if I don't do well in the exam. Besides, I did very well in the exam."

After hearing this, Xiaoman and Hanlu covered their mouths and laughed. Their younger brother was too confident and had no shame in saying such things.

After returning to the school, I saw Hong Jian and others and shared the situation of the provincial examination.

Sun Shan also wrote out the questions from memory and showed them to his classmates in Class A.

Li Sheng's eyes widened and he said in admiration, "Ashan, you actually remembered the questions for the provincial exam?"

There are so many questions in the provincial examination, but how come Sun Shan remembers them all? He is so amazing.

Hong Jian echoed, "Ashan, I believe you will definitely pass the provincial examination this time. You are amazing. You memorized all the test questions."

Sun Shan shook his head and said, "I don't remember some of it. Thanks to Brother Hongwen and Brother Can for their help, we managed to recall it together. You can take it back and try it out to see if you can do it. Next time you go to the provincial examination, you will know what the test paper looks like."

Sun Shan thought that since he had nothing to do anyway, he might as well write out the questions for the provincial examination and have the students in the school do it. When Mr. Hong came back and corrected their answers, he would know his approximate level.

I will have more experience for the next provincial examination.

Zheng Hongwen patted Sun Shan on the shoulder and said to everyone, "Most of the test questions were written down by Ah Shan. I don't remember them very well. I was so nervous during the test that my mind went blank when I came out."

Liang Can echoed, "It's not like Hongwen has a blank mind, but my memory is confused and I don't even know what I'm taking the test on. Ah Shan is really good and can write down the test questions from memory."

He turned to Sun Shan and said, "Ashan, you will definitely pass the provincial examination. I believe in you!"

Sun Shan really wanted to say: Thank you for believing in me, I believe in myself too!

The reason why I can remember the content of the provincial examination is mainly because I have learned all the contents. Except for the classics and poetry, I have done all the others.

As for the scriptures and poems, there are few in number, but if you memorize them carefully, you will definitely remember them. It is nothing special.

Sun Shan gave the questions to his classmates in Class A. Zheng Jiajun, a poor student in Class B, received the message and asked during dinner, "Ashan, I also want to do the government exam questions. Can you give them to me?"

He looked at Sun Shan eagerly, his clear eyes carrying a foolish clarity.

Sun Shan naturally didn't care. He took a bite of rice, nodded and said, "Okay, but you have to copy it yourself. I won't copy it for you."

Sun Shan thought that reciting it once was enough and he didn't want to recite it a second time.

What’s more, if I copy it to Zeng Jiajun, what if someone else comes to ask?

They can't not copy the test questions. So they can just copy the test questions by themselves.

Zeng Jiajun put his arm around Sun Shan's shoulders and laughed, "Okay, Ah Shan, I'll copy the answers myself. Hehe, I want to take a look at the provincial exam questions to see if they are difficult."

Sun Shan looked at Zeng Jiajun speechlessly.

After the county examination was over, Scholar Hong copied a copy and asked the students in Class B and Class A who had not yet entered the examination hall to do it. As a result, Zeng Jiajun still ranked last.

Having failed the county examination, Zeng Jiajun instead challenged the provincial examination. I wonder who gave him the courage?

Could it be that the courage is given by the financial resources of the rich second generation?

The questions were copied by Zeng Jiajun and spread by Zeng Jiajun. Gradually, all the students in Class A, B and C of Hong's School took the provincial examination.

Even Mr. Huang came over and asked Sun Shan for the test questions for the provincial examination.

Sun Shan asked doubtfully, "Master Huang, don't you have any test questions?"

This shouldn't be the case. The provincial examination has already ended and the test questions had already leaked out. Huang Xiucai should have gotten them through some means.

Huang Xiucai said unhappily, "It's not that easy to get the provincial examination papers. There are none in Huangyang County right now. I'm thinking of waiting for the one with the surname Hong to come back and ask for them."

The one with the surname Hong must be Mr. Hong.

Hong Xiucai continued, "I didn't expect you to be able to write down the test questions from memory. Not bad, not bad."

He stroked his gray beard, looked at Sun Shan meaningfully, and left in a daze.

Sun Shan was puzzled by Huang Xiucai's look and shook his head quickly, not thinking about it any more.

After all, Mr. Huang is much more nervous than Mr. Hong and often has seizures.

After a few days, the time for the provincial examination results to be announced was getting closer.

From Liang Shen to Zheng Hongwen, they were restless all day long and often swayed in front of Sun Shan.

Sun Shan pretended not to see it and continued reading.

I plan to reread the Four Books and Five Classics, but the more I read, the more I feel that my understanding is superficial.

Sun Shan continued to study the masterpiece of He's Academy - the annotations of Minister He. No matter how many times he read it, he could benefit from it.

Liang Can asked quietly, "Ashan, aren't you nervous? The results will come out today, tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow."

I really admire Ashan. He reads books with great concentration and never moves. No one can move him.

Zheng Hongwen said gloomily, "Ashan, I'm so nervous. What should I do? What if I fail the exam?"

Sun Shan’s forehead is full of black lines. What should he do?

But people in Huangyang County don’t eat cold dishes very often, so it’s not okay to eat it cold.

Sun Shan said frivolously, "Brother Shen, Brother Hongwen, I am still young, and it doesn't matter if I fail the provincial examination, so I am not nervous."

Liang Shen and Zheng Hongwen were so angry when they heard Sun Shan's nonchalant answer that they wanted to put a sack on Sun Shan and beat him up.

Three people were reading in the school, and only Sun Shan was reading seriously.

Suddenly there was a commotion outside the school, and everyone stretched their necks, not knowing what was going on.

At this time, Master Xiao Hong came in from outside, panting and saying, "The results of the provincial examination are out!"

Liang Shen and Zheng Hongwen stared at Master Hong intently. Sun Shan also became nervous. It would be a lie to say that he didn't care. No one could remain calm.

Master Xiao Hong took a breath and said, "You three come with me to see the list. I also heard about it when I came back."

It seems that Master Hong doesn’t know the results either.

Liang Can and Zheng Hongwen dragged Sun Shan out in a hurry and ran to the notice wall of the yamen.

As for Master Xiao Hong, he was chasing closely behind.

Hong's School was very close to the government office, so Sun Shan and his companions reached their destination in no time.

At this time, there was a crowd of people, both literate and illiterate, rushing to the notice board.

When Sun Shan returned to Sunjia Village this time, he specifically asked De Ge'er how to get to the innermost part quickly.

De Ge'er brought his childhood friend Da Tou Gou along, and the two of them taught Sun Shan everything they had learned throughout their lives so that he could get under the list.

It is true that there is always a teacher among three people. De Ge'er and Da Tou Gou are good teachers.

Sun Shan left Liang Can and Zheng Hongwen behind, and with the help of his petite body, he squeezed left and right, up and down, and finally got to the bottom of the list. Looking up, he saw the very end of the list with the words "No. 45 Zheng Hongwen" written on it in large letters.

What the hell!

Sun Shan turned out to be Zheng Hongwen!
