Chapter 431 So many literary stars gathered together, blinding Sun Bomin's eyes
The Guangzhou Imperial Examination Hall was located in the East City, quite far from where Aunt Sun lived. After breakfast, the He family's servants came over to drive the carriage and let Sun Shan and other students go to the inn first.
After making sure that everything was packed, Sun Shan and the others got on the carriage and rushed to the inn.
I don’t know how long it was, but after a “stop” was shouted, the carriage stopped.
Sun Shan got off the car first, and Sun Boming and Gui Ge'er followed behind him carrying things.
The inn is booked for two days, today and tomorrow, and Sun Shan will enter the venue the day after tomorrow.
When we arrived at the inn, it was already full of people.
People were coming and going, and it was very lively.
Looking around, there were only students and examinee escorts.
It was the first time that Sun Boming and Gui Ge'er saw such a scene.
Sun Shan had always stayed at Hong Xiucai's house before, whether he was taking the county exam or the imperial exam, and had never stayed at an inn. Now that he was at the inn, he felt it was new.
Looking at the students coming in one after another, Sun Bomin said with a smile on his face: "Shanzi, there are so many students in the inn, are they all scholars?"
It was the first time for Sun Boming to meet so many scholars at one time.
Although he believed that his own Shanzi was the Wenquxing, it did not prevent Sun Boming from believing that other students were also Wenquxing.
So many literary stars gathered together that Sun Bomin's eyes were blinded.
Seeing that Sun Bomin was even more curious than Gui Ge'er, Sun Shan smiled and said, "Dad, let's get accommodation and put our things down first."
Sun Shan and his group quickly completed the formalities and then found the corresponding house to live in.
None of them wanted a "tian" room, so they booked a "ren" room that was neither too expensive nor too cheap, and they stayed next to each other.
If anything happens, we can take care of each other at the first time.
Aunt Sun helped Sun Shan pack his luggage and felt relieved when she saw that the inn was quite good.
I called the students who came this time and said very seriously: "I will arrange for someone to bring you food. Don't eat food outside, otherwise you will not be used to it and get an upset stomach. You must pay attention to your diet before the exam and don't eat anything random. If you feel unwell, don't try to hold on, tell me immediately and go see a doctor. If you really feel unwell, you'd better not take the exam and don't go into the exam room. Saving your life is the most important thing."
Every year there are students who are unable to enter the examination hall for various reasons, so you must be cautious before the exam and not let anything go to waste.
Especially when it comes to food, more attention should be paid. Aunt Sun would rather work harder to deliver meals to them.
Every year, some students fall ill after entering the examination hall for various reasons. The lucky ones can survive nine days and come out, while the unlucky ones die in the examination hall.
After the door of the Imperial Examination Hall was closed, it would have to wait nine days before it could reopen. If a student fell ill inside, he would have to endure it and leave it entirely to fate.
A good person went in, but if he was unlucky, he would be carried out and never see the sun tomorrow.
Sun Dagu believes that if you feel uncomfortable, you should speak up immediately, and if you cannot take the exam, you should say you cannot take the exam immediately. Do not hesitate, and make a decision immediately. Saving your life is the most important thing.
Keeping the green hills, you don’t have to worry about having no firewood.
Li Xinjun said quickly: "Aunt, we understand. If there is anything, we will tell you immediately."
Aunt Sun nodded with satisfaction, turned to Sun Shan and Hong Jian and said, "This is your first time entering the arena, so you must be more careful. Don't be stubborn. If you can't take the test, then don't take it. You must say it out. We have many chances. If you miss this time, there will be next time. Do you understand?"
Sun Shan and Hong Jian quickly agreed.
Aunt Sun helped Sun Shan check the things again, and after making sure everything was correct, she left. She also said that she would come to bring them food in the afternoon, and told them not to eat anything outside and just be patient and it would pass.
Sun Bomin became even more nervous after hearing what Aunt Sun said, and quickly said to Sun Shan: "Shanzi, you must remember what Aunt Sun said. If you can't bear it any longer, you should speak up. Don't keep enduring just because you are unwilling to give up. If you can't pass the exam, then you can't pass it. Anyway, we are determined to participate, and we don't necessarily have to pass the exam to gain fame."
Sun Shan looked at Sun Boming speechlessly. He knew that the Sun family did not necessarily require him to pass the imperial examinations, but he wanted to do so.
He studied so hard just to pass the imperial examination.
However, Sun Shan still nodded obediently: "Father, I understand. Don't worry, if I can't bear it, I will definitely not take the exam. Even if I go in and take the exam, if I really can't bear it, I will temporarily leave. Although I can't come out, it is better to find a place to rest than squatting in the examination room. Father, don't worry, my nickname is much more important than fame."
Then he approached Sun Bomin, lowered his head, and whispered, "Father, I must take good care of myself. I will marry and have children in the future to continue the Sun family. You and mother are still waiting to hold your grandchildren."
Sure enough, when Sun Shan said this, Sun Bomin's mouth curled up immediately, and he nodded quickly with a smile that couldn't be closed: "Okay, okay, okay, Dad is waiting, hahahaha, Dad and Mom are waiting to hold their grandson."
Sun Shan's face was full of black lines. In order to divert Sun Boming's attention, Sun Shan really tried his best.
Whenever there is something to worry about, it is most appropriate to talk to Sun Bomin about his grandson. It can immediately divert his attention and make him happy.
Sun Shan gave a thumbs up to his filial piety!
At this time, there was a knock on the door. Sun Shan knew who it was without opening the door. Gui Ge'er also knew who it was. He quickly opened the door and shouted with a smile: "Mr. Qian, you are here?"
The one knocking on the door so anxiously and so loudly, it could only be Qian Yingyang.
Qian Yingyang led his servant Qian Wu in, bowed and greeted Sun Bomin, then said to Sun Shan: "Ashan, you are finally here, hehe."
The Duanzhou Hometown Association Hall where Qian Yingyang lived was not far from the "Junlai Inn" where Sun Shan lived, and it was closer to the Imperial Examination Hall than Sun Shan's inn.
Sun Shan couldn't help but wonder if the people of Duanzhou were so rich because of selling Duan inkstones that they actually got such a good piece of land to build a clubhouse.
Duanzhou Prefecture is home to many big merchants and wealthy people.
Sun Shan quickly asked Qian Yingyang to sit down. After a while, Hong Jian, Li Xinjun, Liu Wenhuan, Jiang Qian and Zhang Yue, who had just joined, came to find Sun Shan.
After everyone met one by one, Qian Yingyang said excitedly: "I heard that there will be a poetry gathering at Zhuangyuan Building later. Do you want to go and have a look?"
At this time of year every year, inns would be packed with students, and inns across the country would hold poetry competitions and other activities to attract students from all over the country to compete.
Firstly, it can increase the popularity of the inn, secondly, it can add to the excitement of the provincial examination, and thirdly, it can also discover talents.
Of course, students are also very happy to participate in these competitions, not only can they gain fame but also earn money. More importantly, if the examiner hears about it, it will be a bonus point.
Sun Shan saw that Qian Yingyang described it vividly and thought that he must have participated in it a lot during this period.
He looked at his classmates around him again, their eyes revealing the desire to join in, and he was attracted by the lively scene described by Qian Yingyang.
Li Xinjun said with a gleam in his eyes: "Ashan, let's go take a look. Brother Qian said that this year is more lively than three years ago."
Sun Shan shook his head and said in a very disappointed tone, "I won't go. You guys go. And even if you go, just take a look and don't cause any trouble."
