Chapter 465: Can a poor student become a top student?

Huang asked Aunt Li to invite Zheng Tongsheng, and then said to Su: "Bring the cowboys into the main room, there will be more people coming soon."

Su said "oh" and put the three children into the main room, and told the cowboy: "Cowboy, keep an eye on the two sisters and don't come out."

The cowboy saw that the grandmother looked serious, so he said "oh" sensibly and hugged his two younger sisters.

Huang and Su were just walking out the door when the officials and villagers who came to announce the good news, led by the village chief, had already arrived at the Sun family's old house.

Just as the village chief was about to shout something, the chief official got there first, holding the good news and shouting to the people in the house, "Congratulations! Congratulations to Mr. Sun from Sunshan, Sunjia Village, Mingyang Town, Huangyang County, for passing the imperial examination."

As soon as these words were spoken, the good news team immediately started beating gongs and drums, playing suona, and performing the wedding music vividly.

After hearing this shout, Huang and Su ran out even more anxiously and saw the police through the gate.

This time it is confirmed that Shanzi from their family has passed the imperial examination.

When the chief constable saw Mrs. Su and Mrs. Huang again, he pretended not to know them and asked, "Are you Mr. Sun's grandma and mother?"

Huang and Su nodded excitedly.

The chief official shouted, "Congratulations, Madam, congratulations, old madam, Mr. Sun Shan has passed the provincial examination, and we have come here specially to announce the good news."

As soon as these words were spoken, the good news team behind them struck gongs and drums, and beautiful music sounded in a very rhythmic manner. You could tell at a glance that they were professional.

The chief officer saw that the music had almost finished, so he waved his hand and the good news band immediately stopped playing.

The chief official held the good news in his hands and said solemnly, "Madam, old lady, this is the good news from Mr. Sun. Please take it."

The so-called good news was actually a piece of red paper with information about Sun Shan's success in the imperial examination written on it and a red seal on it to show solemnity.

Su wanted to reach out and take it, but after seeing the village chief's eyes, he immediately dared not make any unnecessary movements.

Huang took a step forward, took the good news tremblingly, and said excitedly: "Sir, please come in."

Huang touched the good news but didn't dare to touch it hard for fear of damaging it.

Su stretched his head eagerly to take a look, and soon successfully caught the two words "Sun Shan".

That’s right, this is the name of her family’s Shanzi, and it’s the good news for her family’s Shanzi.

Her son Shanzi lived up to everyone's expectations and passed the imperial examination and became a juren!

The chief constable followed Huang's words and led his subordinates into the Sun family's old house.

The village chief immediately transformed himself into the head of the village and led the official into the reception room. He wanted to ask Su to prepare tea, but seeing her red eyes and excited look, he really had no way of entertaining the official.

So the aunts and uncles in the village were asked to go to the kitchen to boil water and make tea.

He also asked Sun Dingnan to go home and bring some snacks to entertain them.

Afterwards, Sun Dali was arranged to walk around the village and take any fat chicken he liked.

He also called the young boys in the village to go to the orchard and flower garden to call Uncle Sun and Yong Ge'er back to greet the guests.

Upon learning that someone had informed Zheng Tongsheng of his death, he sent someone to Zhengjia Village to ask Zheng the butcher if he had any pork left to sell. If not, he was asked to find a way to get some back.

The village chief's orders turned disorder into order, and everything seemed to be in good order.

As soon as Uncle Sun and Brother Ming walked through the door, they were assigned to butcher chickens and prepare the banquet.

Aunt Sun and Mingge's daughter-in-law were arranged to lead people to pick vegetables from the village vegetable garden. They could pick vegetables from whichever garden grew well. If anyone had any objections, they were asked to go find the village chief.

After Zheng Tongsheng and Zheng Hongwen arrived, he gave more instructions.

Zheng Tongsheng asked Huang to prepare some red envelopes for the wedding, and this time the amount should be more than the last time when the successful scholar received the award.

He also asked Su to bring out a basket of copper coins and distribute them to anyone he saw at the entrance of the village.

If not, we must borrow it back, even if it means losing face, so that everyone in the surrounding area will know that Sunjia Village produced the only juren in Huangyang County.

The generosity and majesty of the family of the Juren must be demonstrated.

Zheng Tongsheng took the good news handed over by Huang, and seeing the word "Chinese" on it, he said with trembling hands: "Good, my good student, he really lived up to everyone's expectations and passed the provincial examination."

When the chief official met Zheng Tongsheng for the second time, he knew that he had a close relationship with the Sun family, so he said cheerfully: "You have taught a good student, congratulations."

Zheng Tongsheng quickly waved his hand and said, "Congratulations, congratulations."

Zheng Tongsheng asked about Sun Shan's success in the imperial examination.

The chief official had no idea, but the only thing he knew was: "Our Mr. Sun is the only one in Zhangzhou Prefecture. There is only one Mr. Sun in the whole Zhangzhou Prefecture. Oh my. Our Mr. Sun is really the god of literature, so amazing."

Zheng Tongsheng and Zheng Hongwen looked at each other and could see each other's disbelief.

Zheng Tongsheng said excitedly: "Sir, you said that Ashan was the only one who passed the imperial examination in the whole Zhangzhou Prefecture?"

The official nodded affirmatively: "Yes. The entire Zhangzhou Prefecture is not as good as Mr. Sun. Our Huangyang County is really amazing. Of course, our Mr. Sun is even more amazing."

All the elders and villagers of Sunjia Village present heard this.

Some old men and women laughed so hard that their teeth were showing, while some middle-aged women and men didn't dare to laugh too wildly and had to cover their mouths when they laughed.

As for the little kids who were in the crowd, they didn't know what this meant, but they just laughed.

The entire Sun family’s old house was filled with laughter and joy, it was such a lively scene.

When Uncle Sun and Aunt Sun hurried back, the atmosphere became even more lively.

Uncle Sun chatted without wiping his mouth and said, "Sir, my son Shanzi has been very intelligent since he was a child. He is very smart and can understand a lot from what he hears. He could do accounting at the age of three, read at the age of four, and entered school at the age of five. He is even more amazing and can remember everything he read."

Also asked Zheng Tongsheng if what he said was right?

Zheng Tongsheng nodded quickly and said, "Yes, yes, yes, Ah Shan is a smart boy. He has been very smart since he was a child. He is a rare talent. Ah Shan is the smartest student I have ever taught."

Zheng Tongsheng vaguely remembered Sun Shan's study situation, but as for what the situation was, was there any need to ask?

Seeing that he has grown up and passed the imperial examination, he must have been pretty good when he was a child.

So I quickly agreed with Uncle Sun's words.

After getting the affirmation, Uncle Sun continued, "Sir, the reason why my son Shanzi is so smart is because he ate the magic grass I gave him. After eating this magic grass, it will be difficult for him not to pass the imperial examination."

This aroused the curiosity of everyone, including the chief officer, and they immediately asked what kind of magical herb it was.

Will eating it really make you smarter?

Can a poor student become a top student?

Some people knew that Uncle Sun liked to brag. Among them was the village chief, so he righteously exposed him: "Shuwen, don't talk nonsense. What magical grass? Shanzi was able to pass the imperial examination entirely because of his own ability."

Uncle Sun said unconvincedly, "Village head, I am not talking nonsense. Shanzi told me that after eating the magic grass I gave him, he felt dizzy and immediately felt refreshed. He also said that it was thanks to my magic grass that he felt so energetic."

In order to prove that he was not lying, Uncle Sun hurriedly pulled Huang from the group of female relatives over.

Huang nodded and said, "Shu Wen was not bragging this time. Shan Zi did say that after drinking the immortal grass soup, his brain became very flexible and he could read ten lines at a glance."

Because of Huang's testimony, the village chief also lost his composure.

Those who had scholars in their families, including the official messenger who brought the good news, also asked what kind of magic herb it was. They also wanted to buy some shoes for their children to eat so that they could become like Sun Shan and pass the imperial examination.

Uncle Sun put his hands on his hips and laughed proudly, but he didn't say anything about the magic herb.

The village chief was so angry that he yelled, "Shu Wen, you have so much free time, go and butcher the chicken."

Uncle Sun was reluctant to go, but under the stern gaze of the village chief, he went to pluck the chicken feathers dejectedly.
