Chapter 357: The first to get the moon is near the water and the tower.

Sun Shan returned to Aunt Sun's yard and decided not to go shopping with Qiang Ge'er anymore.

If you want to get together, just gather in the study. If you want snacks, ask the servants to make them.

Every time he goes out, he has to bleed heavily, and Sun Shan’s life is now too heavy to bear.

Qiang Ge'er is easy to deal with and can be controlled, but Yuan Jie'er is not. She always makes Sun Shan bankrupt.

A good man like Sun Shan will not fight with a woman. If he cannot win, he can only stay away from her.

Anyway, when I go out with fat guys and fat girls, they always talk about food.

Moreover, they would not eat the food which was not expensive because the quantity was small and the food was expensive.

Sun Shan must learn his lesson and cannot go out with them.

Sun Shan nodded and decided it.

Gui Ge'er scratched his head, extremely shocked, but did not dare to say much. After saying goodbye to He Shuqiang and his sister and returning to Aunt Sun's house, Gui Ge'er dared to speak: "Brother Shan, the snacks we had in the afternoon were so expensive. I can't earn the money for a meal in a year."

Of course Gui Ge'er didn't make any money, as he was paid nothing for his work.

However, Sun Boming and Su would give subsidies occasionally, and there should be some money to be saved.

This time when they came to the provincial government, Sun Shan took Gui Ge'er to pay respects everywhere, which made Gui Ge'er earn a lot of money.

Now my purse is full, totaling about 700 to 800 taels.

Gui Ge'er was afraid of losing it, so he asked Sun Bomin and Su to help keep it, and he only kept 2 taels for himself.

Su was also happy to help him keep it, and said that she would buy land for Gui Ge'er as soon as she returned to Sunjia Village, acre by acre. When Gui Ge'er grew up, he would have land and fields and be able to marry a wife.

When talking about getting married, Guiger's face turned red and he lowered his head in embarrassment, not daring to talk to Su and Sun Boming.

Sun Shan waved his hand and said, "Don't tell your family about today's meal, okay?"

If the people in Sunjia Village knew that they had such expensive snacks today, they would definitely be heartbroken.

Let him be sad about this matter alone, and don't make Sunjia Village sad too.

Gui Ge'er nodded and said, "Brother Shan, I won't tell you. I know. If I tell others, Uncle Min and Auntie will definitely say that the snacks are too expensive and not worth it. They will be very distressed."

Not to mention that Sun Boming and Su were heartbroken, Gui Ge'er was also heartbroken now. Thinking about the two plates of fried rice noodles he had eaten today, the money he spent was beyond his imagination.

No wonder it tastes so good, it turns out to be so expensive.

If I had known he would not eat, I would rather just sit there and drink plain water.

The next day, He Shuqiang came to play with Sun Shan again and said he wanted to take Sun Shan out to listen to storytelling.

Sun Shan refused without thinking, and arranged for Gui Ge'er to bring pen, ink, paper and inkstone, so that He Shuqiang could practice calligraphy with him.

He Shujin said that Sun Shan's handwriting was not good, so he found some classic calligraphy books for Sun Shan and asked him to copy them carefully.

Sun Shan knew his own strength, so he would practice calligraphy well.

He Shuqiang's chubby face turned into a bitter one, and he said in a depressed tone: "Brother Shan, you can practice calligraphy anytime, but since you don't come to Hejia Village often, I'd better accompany you to play around. I heard from my father that a great storyteller came to the teahouse, and his stories were so vivid and wonderful that it was like being there in person. Why don't we go and listen to the story?

Hey, Brother Shan, you usually go to school, so you don't have time to listen to books. Why don't we go and play around and see if it's really that amazing?"

Sun Shan was unmoved and said, "No, I want to practice calligraphy."

He raised his head and looked at Brother Qiang: "Brother Qiang, your handwriting is pretty good. So you don't need to practice."

He Shuqiang was delighted and felt that there was hope. Could it be that Brother Shan would still go out to play with him?

Sun Shan quickly wrote down the questions from the last annual exam on a piece of paper, handed it to He Shuqiang and said, "Brother Qiang, these are the questions on the meaning of the classics for our annual exam. Pick one and write it down."

Sun Shan pointed to the table next to him and said, "Sit there and write slowly. I'll practice calligraphy slowly over here. When you're done, I'll take a look at it for you first, and then ask my eldest cousin to take a look at it for you. Then you'll know how far you've come."

He Shuqiang's eyes widened, and his fat hands had grasped the exam paper that Sun Shan had written down.

He came to play with Brother Shan, not to learn from Brother Shan.

Studying every day in the academy was tiring enough, and he didn't want to continue burying his head in homework during the two days of rest he finally had.

He Shuqiang was about to refuse.

Sun Shan said again: "Brother Qiang, sit down and write quickly. It is very difficult for students from your He family to see my eldest cousin, let alone let him look at the homework and give some guidance.

Brother Qiang, you are lucky to have met me. As the saying goes, those who are close to water get the moon first. I will help you jump the queue so that my eldest cousin can correct your homework and give you some pointers. I believe you will definitely pass the exam to become a scholar next time."

Sun Shan said very seriously: "Brother Qiang, I am waiting for you on the other side of the scholar. You must catch up quickly. Otherwise, I will pass the exam and you will still be a student. How embarrassing it will be."

He Shuqiang had nothing to say. If he refused again, it would be like a dog biting Lu Dongbin, not appreciating a good person's kindness.

Sun Shan did not give He Shuqiang any chance to refuse and called his servant boy over.

He Shuqiang's servant immediately ran in and asked, "Master Sun, what do you want from me?"

Sun Shan said that He Shuqiang should work hard and accompany him to study and write articles. When he finished writing, he would give He Shujin some corrections and advice. He also said that He Shuqiang would also eat here in the evening, and asked the servant to tell Old Master He San that he didn't need to cook for He Shuqiang tonight.

In fact, it was to tell Old Master He San that He Shuqiang was here, and he didn't need to come over if there was nothing to do. If he had something to do, he could come over. He Shuqiang would not go anywhere else to play.

The servant immediately understood what Sun Shan meant and said happily, "Master, Master Sun, I will go back and report immediately."

After saying that, he ran out without looking back.

He Shuqiang stretched out his "Erkang hand" and wanted to shout, wait a minute, he didn't want to write here, he wanted to go out and play.

It’s just that the servant ran too fast and had no idea what He Shuqiang wanted.

Sun Shan patted He Shuqiang's fat shoulders. Fortunately, the fat boy was sitting and he was standing, otherwise he could only pat his arm.

Sun Shan urged, "Brother Qiang, hurry up and write. You must write carefully and with all your heart. If you write badly, my eldest cousin will complain to your father. My eldest cousin cares the most about the clan members. He hopes that you can pass the examinations to become a scholar, a juren, and a jinshi, so that rows of juren and jinshi tablets can be erected at the entrance of the He clan's ancestral hall."

He Shuqiang didn't even have time to say a word before Sun Shan blocked his attacks one by one.

Looking at the exam questions, He Shuqiang's bitter face became even more bitter. He thought to himself that if he had known, he would not have come to play with Sun Shan. He just wanted to play, not write articles.

In the afternoon, Sun Shan kept his promise and took He Shuqiang to cut in line so that his cousin could give He Shuqiang some comments.

He Shuqiang was in trouble after hearing this comment. His good-tempered cousin criticized He Shuqiang's article and looked very disappointed with him.

After all, He Shuqiang's branch is too powerful, and my cousin can't stand the ordinary He Shuqiang.

He reviewed the article from beginning to end, analyzed all the advantages and disadvantages, and convinced He Shuqiang.

The eldest cousin actually found He Shuqiang's father and discussed He Shuqiang's learning situation with him in a simple and easy-to-understand manner. Afterwards, he left He Shuqiang with a lot of valuable information and pertinent learning methods.

My eldest cousin did this to return a favor. After all, he was able to study at Guangya Academy because of his connections as a third-rank minister in the capital. When he went to the capital to take the exam, the main branch also showed great care to the students from their side branch.

He Shuqiang's father was deeply moved and quickly thanked He Shujin for his help.

As for He Shuqiang, Sun Shan mourned for him in silence, because he had seen the anger of Master He, and He Shuqiang would definitely be beaten with pork in a cane.
