Chapter 267 Let Xiao Guangzi get some of his uncle’s talent

Sun Shan returned to Hong's Academy and reported to Scholar Hong why the county magistrate wanted him to do something.

Holding two 2 silver ingots in her hands, she said proudly, "Teacher, this is a reward from the county magistrate, official silver."

Hong Xiucai took a look and said with emotion: "You are lucky, you have a subsidy of 20 taels. I only had 10 taels at that time."

Sun Shan was very upset. He never thought that Mr. Hong would be such a person. So he wanted to take a fancy to the extra 10 taels.

Sun Shan really wanted to tell Mr. Hong that more than ten or twenty years had passed, and with inflation, the 20 taels of silver distributed by the government were not as much as the 10 taels of silver that Mr. Hong had at that time.

After sighing, Hong Xiucai said: "Since you have passed the examination, you can no longer study in the school. Well, I wish you a bright future and further success."

Speaking of leaving Hong's Academy, Sun Shan was reluctant, but he had to leave eventually, as Hong's Academy could no longer accommodate his ambition for advancement.

He bowed and said to Hong Xiucai, "Teacher, I still have a few months before I go to school elsewhere. I will come back to the school when I have time these days to ask you for advice."

The provincial school or other colleges usually recruit students before the New Year and start school after the New Year. It is only the end of August now, and there are still a few months before Sun Shan leaves Huangyang County to continue his further studies. It can be said that he has a lot of free time.

Hong Xiucai smiled and said, "Okay, have a good rest. It's rare to have such a leisurely time. After the Chinese New Year, it's rare to have free time."

Sun Shan nodded and said goodbye to Mr. Hong.

This time it was just a farewell, not a goodbye, and Sun Shan still had to return to Zheng's School.

After returning to the Zheng family, Sun Bomin looked forward to it and felt relieved only when he saw Sun Shan.

He asked anxiously, "Shanzi, what does the county magistrate want to see you for?"

Oh, his mountain was actually known to the county magistrate, and he could even talk to the county magistrate.

Sun Bomin's steps were unsteady and his expression was dazed. He had a premonition that his life would undergo a drastic change because Shanzi passed the imperial examination.

This feels so unreal.

Sun Shan took out another 20 taels and explained again what the county magistrate had rewarded him.

Sun Bomin's eyes widened as he carefully took the glittering 20 taels of silver, just like the first time he held Sun Shan in his arms. He said with great excitement, "Shanzi, is this a reward from the government? Is this government silver?"

Sun Bomin had never seen such bright silver before. His hands were shaking as if he was afraid that it would fall to the ground and melt.

Sun Shan nodded and said, "It was given by the county magistrate to congratulate me on passing the imperial examination and bringing honor to Huangyang County."

Sun Bomin was even more excited. He caressed the two silver ingots and said happily, "Shanzi, these two silver ingots are rewards from the government. You can't spend them. You have to keep them well and offer them on the ancestral tablets. Do you understand?"

Sun Bomin planned to preserve Sun Shan's student's scarf, clothes, chrysanthemum hairpin and other items as a gift to the ancestors of the Sun family.

The corner of Sun Shan's mouth twitched. This money is meant to be spent. If it is not spent, its value cannot be reflected.

Before he could say anything, Zheng Dalang on the side said in agreement: "My dear relative, you are right. The official's things should be shown to our ancestors so that they can be happy."

After saying this, he took the official silver from Sun Bo's hand, looked at it carefully, and said enviously: "My dear, I also want to have official silver."

Lixia immediately responded: "Father, don't worry, our Hongwen will pass the exam and become a scholar sooner or later. If Shanzi can pass, Hongwen will definitely pass too."

Lixia really believed that Zheng Hongwen could pass the exam because Sun Shan could pass it.

Therefore, it is not surprising that her acquaintances also passed the exam. Becoming a scholar is not out of reach, and it is not difficult to pass the exam.

Thinking of the little crybaby who slept during the day and cried loudly at night, Lixia felt that her son had a better chance of passing the exam.

The Zheng family produces a student, the Sun family produces a scholar, and the little crybaby is a combination of the Zheng and Sun families, so isn't he more likely to pass the exam and become a scholar?

The more I thought about it, the more beautiful it became, and I liked Zheng Hongyuan more and more.

Zheng Hongyuan felt a little shy because of Lixia's fiery gaze. It was broad daylight and his wife was too enthusiastic. Fortunately, all the family members were around him.

Zheng Hongyuan took the silver from his mother Zhang's hand and weighed it. It was very heavy and the color was very bright. The official silver was worthy of being official silver. It was different from other silver.

After Zheng Hongyuan finished reading, he went to Lixia to read. After Lixia finished reading, Sun Boming put the silver into the box for hairpins, saying that the official things must be kept well and offered to the ancestors.

Sun Shan didn't know what was so good about the silver. When he saw everyone gathering around the silver, they all forgot to go home.

Sun Shan looked at the sky outside. It was noon and he would be late if he didn't go back.

He said to Sun Bomin, "Dad, let's go home quickly. If it's any later, we'll get home in the dark."

Although it would be very hot under the scorching sun at noon, Sun Shan still chose to set off. He was eager to see Huang and Su and missed his family very much.

Speaking of going home, Sun Bomin slapped his thigh and said anxiously: "Let's go back quickly. It will be too late if we don't go back now."

They had originally planned to set out early in the morning, but Sun Shan was called by the county magistrate for a talk, and then he went to the school to talk with Hong Xiucai. After the whole conversation, it was almost noon.

Sun Bomin was afraid that it was too late and the mountain road was dangerous.

Hong Dalang's wife Zhang asked anxiously, "My dear, why don't you have lunch before going back?"

Sun Bomin quickly shook his head and said, "No more food, I have to go back. Maybe next time."

Zheng Dalang said hurriedly: "Hurry up and prepare some cakes to fill our stomachs on the way."

He also said to Hongwen: "When you go back, discuss knowledge with Grandpa and Shanzi more often, understand?"

In fact, Zheng Dalang wanted Zheng Hongwen to discuss academic matters with Sun Shan. After all, Sun Shan was now a scholar, and he hoped that his son could learn from Sun Shan how he passed the examination to become a scholar.

If you follow the path of successful people, you will become a successful person yourself.

Zheng Dalang felt that Sun Shan was more valuable than Hong Xiucai, because Hong Xiucai was a scholar from 20 years ago and could not be compared with Sun Shan, a freshly minted scholar.

Knowledge is changing with each passing day, and so is it.

Sun Shan's knowledge is more suitable for the current examination for scholars.

Zheng Dalang also very much hoped that Zheng Hongwen could pass the imperial examination and become a scholar, so that the Zheng family could truly change its status.

The good news is that Zheng Hongwen is still young, and he has passed the examination to become a student, so he has great hope of becoming a scholar in the future.

Zheng Dalang glanced at his youngest son, then at the little grandson in his wife's arms. Their Zheng family was becoming more and more promising. It was indeed the right choice to marry into the Sun family. His father really had vision, and the old ones were always the wisest.

This time, in addition to Sun Bomin, Sun Shan, and Zheng Hongwen, there are also veteran driver Zheng Hongyuan, Lixia and the little crybaby.

Zhang also wanted to go back to Zhengjia Village because she felt that her grandson, a little crybaby, couldn't leave her. But Zheng Dalang quickly stopped her, thinking that if Zhang went back, who would cook for her?

Just make up a random excuse and ask Zhang not to go back.

When passing by Xia Ji Buyi Shop, Guyu was waiting there with Xiao Guangzai and Xiao Guangnu.

As soon as they stepped into the Zheng family's house yesterday, the Xia family knew that Sun Shan had returned, and the whole family came to congratulate them.

Guyu took the opportunity to propose taking Xiao Guangzai and Xiao Guangnu back to her parents' home, especially to let Xiao Guangzai get some glimpses of his scholar uncle's talent.

Shopkeeper Xia immediately nodded in agreement. With such a good opportunity, he would definitely let his grandson and uncle get along well and develop feelings.

It would be best if my grandson can study in the future, but if not, he should have his uncle to protect and take care of him.
