Chapter 253 Companions wailing everywhere
The night breeze blows gently, and the moon is full on the 15th and 16th.
Sun Shan entered the scene on August 12 and left on August 14, and was in a coma for two days.
Missed the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th.
Sun Bomin had been busy taking care of Sun Shan and had no mood to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Seeing Sun Shan like this, the candidates who lived in the same courtyard were also unable to celebrate the festival.
Now that Sun Shan has woken up, although he is still very weak, he is getting better.
Sun Boming was in a good mood. In the afternoon, he went out to buy a lot of food to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival.
He also called Scholar Hong, Uncle Hong and Little Master Hong to come over. No matter whether they did well or not in the exam, the festival had to be celebrated.
Sun Boming cut a piece of red bean paste mooncake and gave each person a small piece.
Mooncakes from childhood
My favorite mooncakes are red bean paste
He poured more tea, one cup for each person.
He specifically instructed, "Shanzi, Zhiyuan, you scholars must drink "Eyesharp" tea. After drinking it, you will see everything clearly, have sharp eyes, and be smart and clever."
Sun Shan and the others laughed, raised their cups and drank them all.
In Huangyang County, people must drink a cup of moonlight tea during the Mid-Autumn Festival, which means their eyes will be as bright as the moon.
Every year, Sun Shan was given a drink by Sun Bomin and Su.
Hong Xiucai looked at Sun Shan and was very happy to see that he was in high spirits. He smiled and said, "Ashan, you have suffered a lot in this exam."
Hey!
This student was really unlucky. He fell ill when he arrived in Zhangzhou Prefecture. As a result, he was assigned a bad number in the exam and fell seriously ill after graduation.
Sun Shan was the first student among Hong Xiucai's students to fall seriously ill after taking the exam. For a moment, he didn't know what to say.
I wanted to ask him how he did on the exam, but I was afraid that if I did, he would cry.
I am still young and this is my first time taking this kind of exam, so it is normal that I cannot adapt.
He said earnestly: "Ashan, your body is a little weak, you must work hard in the future. The imperial examination is not only about knowledge, but also about health. It is useless to have talent but fail the exam."
After this college entrance examination, Sun Shan had deeply realized that his physical condition was really very fragile. His performance in this exam was completely beyond his expectations.
Ever since I went to the county town to study, I rarely got sick and thought I was fine.
As a result, after an entrance examination, he was brought back to his original state and his vitality was seriously damaged. It took him two or three years to recover.
Sun Shan said solemnly, "Master, you are right. I understand. I will strengthen my fitness in the future and not do it like this time."
Hong Xiucai touched the fifty-year-old teacher, nodded and said: "This college entrance examination should be used as an experience, a lesson, and preparation for the future."
When he came, Mr. Hong was full of hope for Mr. Sun Shanzhong, but now he no longer has any hope.
I was in a bad condition before the exam, during the exam, and after the exam, I was even worse.
Mr. Hong didn't think Sun Shan could pass the exam this time.
It would be a lie to say I'm not disappointed.
But Sun Shan is still young and has many opportunities. Take it slow and don't rush.
Sun Bomin was listening to the conversation between Hong Xiucai and Sun Shan, and was secretly anxious.
It seems that Shanzi will not give up the imperial examination and will definitely take part next time.
Sun Bomin didn't dare to say anything. He hoped that Shanzi would not take the exam and go home to live for a few years.
When I get older, I will go to the provincial capital and ask my eldest sister to help me find a job that will not expose me to the wind, rain, sun and rain.
Shanzi is a student now, so it will be easier for him to find a job.
Sun Bomin thought that after Shanzi worked for a year or two, he would find a wife and have children.
He and Su helped take care of the grandchildren, and they all worked together to accumulate family assets and leave them to future generations.
But he couldn't say such words.
Shanzi is a cautious and ambitious person, unlike him who is short-sighted and content with the status quo.
Since he started planting flowers on the mountain, Sun Bomin felt that his son was different from other boys in the village.
Shanzi has his own ideas, perseverance, and goals.
He sighed deeply, his son is no longer under the control of his father, so forget it, he could only let go.
Sun Shan saw a trace of regret and disappointment in Hong Xiucai's eyes, and he was also nervous about the entrance examination.
I finished all the questions. The first one was okay because I was sober at that time. I felt good about everything except poetry.
In the second round, Sun Shan had no confidence in the remaining two questions except for the law. His head felt swollen when he was answering the questions. He wrote something vaguely and now he can't even remember it.
He said to Hong Xiucai: "Master, I understand. I will learn from my mistakes and train well to prepare for the next performance."
Master Zheng Hong nodded and said no more.
Zheng Hongwen, Huang Zhiyuan, Qin Shaofeng and Mr. Xiao Hong, who entered the examination room with him, looked at Sun Shan with sympathy. Sun Shan was originally the one with the most hope.
As a result, it seems that there is no hope.
Then I thought about myself and realized that I was actually similar to Sun Shan.
They are in good health and clear-headed, but they are confused when doing the questions and I don’t know whether they are good or not.
It's the same with Sun Shan.
Not to mention the eldest brother and the second brother, the results of the five people seem to be similar.
Sun Shan ate a piece of grapefruit and said with a smile, "I think the poetry question is the most difficult in this college entrance examination. I have been thinking for a long time about what the miserable green boy is, but I can't think of it no matter how hard I try."
Seeing that everyone was silent, Sun Shan decided to break the silence.
If it were any other time outside the examination room, both the candidates and Mr. Hong would definitely discuss the test questions.
It was strangely quiet tonight, and Sun Shan understood that they didn't want to talk about their sad stories.
It is better to speak up and let the exam go with the wind so that you can build up confidence to make a comeback next time.
Speaking of the "miserable green boy", everyone cried out in grief.
Sun Shan looked at them strangely. This was too much of a reaction.
Zheng Hongwen looked like he was about to cry and said, "Ashan, you are talking about something irrelevant. I even got this question wrong. What should I do? I don't even know where this question comes from. I gave a random answer. What should I do?"
What to do? Just figure it out!
Master Xiao Hong said bitterly, "I have studied for so many years, but I don't even know where this question comes from, and I can't answer it correctly. Oh! The college entrance examination is getting harder every year."
Mr. Hong was wondering whether he should continue taking the exam, as he would definitely fail this year.
Huang Zhiyuan and Qin Shaofeng agreed to solve the problem because they had never seen this word and had no idea what it was talking about.
So when writing poems and essays, I just scribbled them randomly to make sure there were no blank spaces on the answer sheet.
Mr. Hong knew long ago that this question stumped many students.
Not to mention the students, he couldn't even remember where the word had appeared.
Fortunately, he was born early, and when he took the exam for the scholar, there were fewer people and the questions were relatively simple, so he passed the exam smoothly.
If he were to take the exam with other students today, he might not pass.
Sun Shan was stunned. He didn't expect that all his companions answered incorrectly. The death rate was too high.
Sun Boming, Zheng Hongyuan and Uncle Hong were chatting among themselves. I really didn't understand what the scholars were talking about. At this time, they were happily talking about crops and had no reaction at all to the students getting the questions wrong.
Zheng Hongwen turned around with a bitter face and asked, "Ashan, did you do it right?"
Sun Shan nodded coldly: "A handsome young man."
As soon as these four words came out, the companions wailed everywhere.
Huang Zhiyuan patted his chest, like a giant gorilla beating his chest, and shouted to the sky: "Ashan was able to solve the problem when he was in a daze, but I couldn't figure it out when I was sober. God is unfair!"
The other three candidates uttered the same wail.
Scholar Hong was amused: "You guys, I don't know what to say, look at Ah Shan, he deserves to be fourth in the provincial exam, he can still do it even when he is sick."
Mr. Hong glanced at Sun Shan and became more expectant of him.
