Chapter 345 I am the Scholar's Student
The test is not difficult, but it is very easy. As long as you don't give up, you will pass.
For scholars like Hong Xiucai and Huang Xiucai who are still teaching on the front line, it is very simple and easy to pass.
Sun Shan really envied Lu Yuming, the top candidate in the Lu case. From now on, he no longer had to take annual and imperial examinations. Compared with scholars like Sun Shan, this was already a qualitative leap.
As a scholar, Sun Shan managed his life carefully and was able to live a decent life. Lu, the first place, no, it should be said that even if Lu was lying down, he would live a much better life than Sun Shan.
As long as he doesn't commit a serious crime, he can live a peaceful and smooth life.
Of course, Mr. Lu was ambitious. Having passed the imperial examination at such a young age, he would naturally continue to take the metropolitan examination.
Mr. Lu returned to Zhangzhou Prefecture to hold a banquet to celebrate the success of other successful candidates. Sun Shan and his group of scholars also attended. The scene made Sun Shan and his group of scholars extremely envious.
After the banquet for the Juren, Juren Lu, like Sun Shan's elder cousin He Shujin, went to Beijing early to prepare for the next year's imperial examination.
Whether out of friendship between classmates or fellow townsmen, Sun Shan wished Mr. Lu to pass the imperial examination and have his name on the list of successful candidates.
After the annual examination, it is the end of the year again.
The provincial school began to have holidays, and Sun Shan, just like last year, waited obediently in Zhangzhou Prefecture for Sun Bomin to pick him up.
The original letter said that he didn't need to come, but Sun Shan thought he could go back to Huangyang County alone because he had Gui Ge'er with him.
However, Sun Bomin and Su sent a "chicken feather letter" to Sun Shan, asking him to wait for him to pick him up at the provincial school and not to go home without permission.
The letter also instructed Gui Ge'er to keep an eye on Sun Shan and not let him become self-righteous and go home on his own initiative.
What could Sun Shan do? He had to do whatever Sun Bomin said, and in order not to worry his family, he had to go along with them.
Sun Bomin arrived at Zhangzhou Prefecture on the third day of the provincial school's holiday and brought a batch of New Year flowers to Hong Dalang, asking him to help sell them and split the profits 50-50.
Hong Dalang asked Hong Chengcai and Hong Erdi to take full responsibility, and also said that the money from the sale would be divided between the two brothers, and of course the losses would also be borne by the two brothers.
Just like last year, Sun Shan brought New Year flowers and a sack of oranges to Li Xinjun, and Li Xinjun was so happy that he chased after Sun Shan to give him calligraphy and paintings.
When Sun Shan heard that it was calligraphy and painting, he ran away immediately. He really didn't deserve it.
In the past two years, Li Xinyun gave Sun Shan gifts on his birthday, the Dragon Boat Festival, the Mid-Autumn Festival, and even calligraphy and paintings when he was happy.
Sun Shan's bedroom was filled with Li Xinyun's calligraphy and paintings, and others thought Sun Shan was selling calligraphy and paintings.
At this time, Sun Bomin, Sun Shan, and Gui Ge'er were on their way back to Huangyang County. Sun Shan could feel Sun Bomin's happiness.
Sun Bomin said with a big smile: "Jin'er passed the exam. I'm so happy. He took the exam so many times and finally passed. Your aunt is finally relieved."
Sun Shan was also very happy that his eldest cousin passed the imperial examination and said happily, "Dad, I am happy too. My eldest cousin has been very capable since he was young. Finally, his hard work paid off and he passed the imperial examination."
He Shujin was smart and clever since childhood, and he passed the examination and became a scholar as soon as he entered the examination room.
However, he later found the provincial examinations very difficult and failed twice in a row.
Aunt Sun had already prepared herself mentally for the possibility of not passing the imperial examination.
Fortunately, the ending was happy and I finally passed the exam on my third attempt.
He Shujin is twenty-six years old this year. He is actually not very old to pass the imperial examination at this time. Although he is not as young and promising as Lu Juren, he is also quite good.
Sun Bomin also told Sun Shan about the scene of going to Guangzhou Prefecture to drink wine to celebrate the success of the Juren: "Shanzi, you didn't come and see it. Brother Jin's Juren banquet was so lively, there were people everywhere, and there were lights and decorations everywhere. It was much more lively than the scholar's banquet.
It was held for seven days and seven nights. Dad had never seen such a grand banquet. There were many delicious foods and drinks, and people were beating gongs and drums, and coming and going.
After a pause, Sun Bomin continued, "The old lady of the He family couldn't stop smiling, and Jing'er's grandparents were even more delighted.
Grandpa Jinger kept pulling me and the village chief aside and saying that it was thanks to marrying your aunt that their family is where they are today, and he also said that our Sun family is smart, much smarter than their He family. "
At this point, Sun Bomin couldn't help but laugh, and said proudly: "Hehe, Grandpa Jing'er is right, we Sun family are smart.
When your eldest aunt was still a girl, she was very smart, so she was able to marry into the provincial government. In your generation, you are also very smart, and you passed the imperial examination at a young age.
. Hehe, when you give birth to a son, your father's grandson will be even smarter, hehe, he will definitely pass the imperial examination and become a juren like Jing'er did. "
Sun Shan was very upset, and Sun Boming started to talk about his grandson again.
Just as Sun Shan was about to say something, Gui Ge'er next door said anxiously, "Uncle Min, you don't have to wait for Brother Shan's son to pass the imperial examination. Brother Shan can pass the imperial examination for you. Brother Shan is very smart, he will definitely pass the imperial examination."
After hearing this, Sun Bomin laughed out loud, slapped Gui Ge'er on the small body, and said happily: "Gui Ge'er, well said. You must help me take good care of Shanzi. When he passes the imperial examination, you will have a better future."
Gui Ge nodded earnestly and anxiously and said, "Uncle Min, don't worry, I will take good care of Brother Shan. Hehe, I am the book boy of the scholar now, and when Brother Shan passes the imperial examination, I will be the book boy of the juren master."
Sun Shan looked at Guiger speechlessly. Why did he feel that Guiger was catching up with and developing towards Deger?
De Ge'er said that he wanted to be the steward of a scholar and a juren, while Gui Ge'er wanted to be the servant of a scholar and a juren. They both have similar goals and reach the same destination through different means.
It was already dark when we returned to Huangyang County. Grain Rain, Beginning of Summer and Cold Dew all came to help with cooking.
Hanlu got married after the autumn harvest and was already two months pregnant. Sun Shan quickly told her not to bother.
Hanlu said nonchalantly: "Shanzi, I'm not you. My body is not that fragile."
Sun Shan was speechless again. What the fourth sister said made a lot of sense. Please don't say it again in the future.
Guyu looked at Sun Shan with red eyes. They could only see each other during the Chinese New Year. Guyu was very worried about her brother whom she had raised. She said excitedly, "Shanzi, you have lost weight again. Is the food in the government school not tasty?"
Lixia echoed, "Big sister, the food in the prefectural school can't be that delicious. It's good enough to be full."
Then he said to Sun Bomin, "Dad, go back and make more chicken soup for Shanzi to drink. It will nourish him well."
Sun Bomin responded, he also felt that Shanzi had lost weight, it seemed that studying was really hard work.
Hanlu blinked. Why couldn’t she feel how thin Shanzi was?
After not seeing him for a year, Hanlu only felt that Sun Shan had grown taller, stronger, and of course, darker.
I heard from my younger brother that he often plays Cuju and runs around in the sun, so it is normal for him to get darker.
