Chapter 554 The entire army was destroyed

In the blink of an eye, it was early April. On this day, Sun Shan walked into Chongzheng Academy. After finishing the professor's class, he received the news that the results of the palace examination were released.

Everyone hurried to the dean's office to check their grades.

Because there were few people who did not take part in the imperial examination, Sun Shan quickly got the official report.

Starting from the first class, when Sun Shan saw the twentieth place in the second class, he was stunned.

Yuzhang---Yu Nanwang.

Is this the person he is familiar with yet unfamiliar to him? Is this the "cold-faced scholar" from Yuelu Academy?

There are many people with the same name and surname in this world, and many people from the same province. There shouldn't be many people with the same name from the same province, right?

At this moment, Sun Shan was certain that this person was Yu Nanwang.

Sun Shan expected that the cold-faced scholar had performed very well in Yuelu Academy and would pass the imperial examination. It was also within Sun Shan's expectations that he would pass the imperial examination in Beijing.

Seeing his name on the list, Sun Shan was very envious.

At the same time, he regretted why he didn't have the nerve to ask Yu Nanwang for calligraphy and paintings.

Now there is no chance to keep Jinshi Lang’s calligraphy and paintings as a family heirloom.

Alas, Sun Shan observed a three-second silence for his mistake, and then continued to do what he was doing.

I continued to look down the list, and found that among so many names, Yu Nanwang was the only familiar name.

Sun Shan did not give up and looked at it three times, but still only Yu Nanwang made the list.

Yue Pengyun, a good friend of Yuelu Academy, is not on the list.

Chen Dongling and others who went to Beijing to take the exam together were not on the list. All fifteen students were wiped out.

The list also did not include Chairman Liu Zhiyan from Chaozhou, and even their class champion Han Mengyuan was not on the list.

There are 344 admissions this time, of which only 12 are from Guangnan.

Sun Shan looked carefully at the names of these 12 people, and none of them looked familiar, as if all of them had been wiped out this time.

Sun Shan's scalp tingled as he read on, as he had no idea what the admission rate was.

It was sad to think that only one person he knew was on the list.

Sun Shan thought that if he went to Beijing to take the exam as scheduled, he would probably be in the same situation as Chen Dongling and others, just a runner-up.

After reading the list, Sun Shan was in a bad mood, so he did not stay in the academy in the afternoon. He walked out of the gate listlessly and headed towards the flower garden.

Sun Dali looked at Sun Shan in confusion and asked, "Ashan, why are you dismissing the class so early?"

Usually Gui Ge'er would take Sun Shan to the academy in the morning and pick him up in the afternoon to leave the classroom.

Sun Shan obviously left early today, and Gui Ge'er didn't even go to pick him up.

Gui Ge'er, who was busy at work, also hurried over and asked, "Brother Shan, why are you leaving the hall so early? I have to go pick you up."

Sun Shan smiled and said, "I haven't been to the flower garden for several days, so I left the academy early and came to take a look."

There are many different varieties of orchids in the flower garden, and Sun Shan will come here whenever he has free time.

After all, the climate and temperature in Jinling are completely different from those in Sunjia Village, and I am afraid that Guiger, Sun Dali, and Sun Dingnan don’t know how to take care of and manage it.

Gui Ge'er said with a smile: "Brother Shan, don't worry, our orchids are growing well and the seedlings are strong. We will take good care of them every day, so there will be no mistakes."

Sun Shan nodded and examined the orchid seedlings carefully.

Which ones need fertilization, which ones need leaf trimming, and which ones need soil replacement.

Explain everything to Sun Dali and the other two one by one.

As for the techniques of growing this kind of flower, they will learn as much as they can. They are all from Sunjia Village and their interests are shared.

Sun Dingnan carefully wrote down Sun Shan's instructions and said admiringly, "I thought growing rice required a lot of skills, but it turns out growing flowers requires even more skills than growing rice. If Ah Shan hadn't told us, we wouldn't have known how to grow them. No wonder a small pot of flowers can be sold for so much money, it takes a lot of effort."

Sun Shan thought for a moment and said with a sigh, "Flowers are only for pleasure, they cannot be eaten, so they can only be sold to wealthy people with bloated stomachs. We country folk don't have the energy to grow flowers. If conditions permit, I still prefer to farm, as rice flowers are more fragrant than orchids."

Sun Shan wanted to set up an experimental field, but his current task was scientific research. He would consider other things after he completed his counterattack in life.

It takes more effort to grow flowers in the experimental field than to grow orchids. It takes years of experiments and controls to produce research results. Sun Shan doesn't have the time to do this kind of work.

After working for a while, seeing that it was about time, he took Gui Ge'er and Sun Dingnan back.

As for Sun Dali, he was now eating, drinking, defecating and urinating in the flower garden and refused to go back with Sun Shan.

Seeing how seriously he was planting flowers, Sun Shan smiled knowingly.

Not long after getting the results of the list, Chen Dongling and his group of fourteen returned and deliberately passed through Jinling to find Sun Shan.

When Sun Shan came back from the academy, he was surprised to see the yard full of familiar faces.

He Shujun, the cousin who was only in name only, ran over and said aggrievedly, "Ashan, all of us failed the exam. It's so tragic. No one got into high school."

Sun Shan didn't know what to say, so he could only say comfortingly: "Brother Jun, you are still young, there will be another chance next time."

He Shujun rolled his eyes after hearing such meaningless nonsense.

Chen Dongling was quite open-minded about whether he was in high school or not, and asked with a smile: "Brother Sun, how is your health? Are you well?"

Sun Shan shook his head and said, "It's not bad, but it's not good either. My hands and feet still get numb from time to time, and I have to go to Doctor Wan for acupuncture occasionally."

Sun Shan was telling the truth. His handwriting was still superficial. After writing for a long time, his hands would become numb, which made him very helpless.

It feels really bad to have no control over your brain.

As for the legs, they will shake after walking for a long time and cannot walk far.

It can be said that it looks normal on the outside, but there is actually something wrong.

Chen Dongling looked at Sun Shan with sympathy. If the situation he described was like that, he didn't know whether he would be able to go to Beijing to take the imperial examination three years later.

But this is three years later, so there is no need to think that far ahead.

The honest Chen Mibo said comfortingly: "Brother Sun, don't worry, take care of yourself slowly, and you will get better."

Brother Chen San also comforted Sun Shan and asked him to have a good rest. Three years later, they all went to Beijing together to take the exam.

Sun Shan searched and searched, but couldn't find his fellow villager Lu Yuming.

He asked with concern: "Where did Brother Lu go? Didn't he come back?"

Lu Yuming’s name was not on the high school list, so he failed the exam.

Why is he gone? Could it be that he is staying in the capital and will not come back?

Chen Dongling shook his head and said, "Brother Lu is still in the capital and did not come back with us."

One of the Lu family members said, "Brother Ming seems to have said that he doesn't want to continue taking the exam. He wants to travel around the capital."

After hearing what the Chen family member said, Sun Shan understood.

Lu Yuming wanted to use his status as a juren to seek an official position, but no one knew what position he would seek.

The fact that he stayed and moved around in the capital proved that he had connections in the capital.

Brother Chen smiled bitterly and said, "It's better not to take the exam. It's really troublesome to take the exam again and again."

Brother Chen San has failed the exam three times, so he has such feelings.
