Chapter 731: He Clan Brother Gives Up the Exam

After returning to the He residence, Mrs. He quickly asked Sun Shan to wash up, and then the doctor who stayed at the He family diagnosed him and concluded that Sun Shan was in good health, had no cold or fever, and just needed to take some tranquilizers.

After seeing the doctor, Sun Shan didn't eat and fell asleep with a loud snore.

If I don't sleep now, when will I go? I have to stay up late and brave the cold wind to take the exam in the early morning, so there is not much time left for rest.

Gui Ge'er brought in a bowl of century egg and lean meat porridge, wanting Sun Shan to eat it before going to sleep. Seeing Sun Shan's appearance, he felt heartbroken.

I feel even more sad than when I spent money to buy facial cream for Jinhua.

Sun Dali shook his head and said, "Oh, it seems that the imperial examination is really too difficult. I have to endure it in the Imperial Examination Hall. It is too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter. It is hot and cold at the same time. There is no end to the examinations, and I don't know when it will end."

Sun Dingnan nodded in agreement and said, "I knew studying was difficult before, and now seeing Ashan entering the examination room, I feel that the exam is also very difficult. Ashan can stand out from so many literary stars, and he is worthy of being a smart boy from our Sunjia Village. I think it will be difficult for our Sunjia Village to produce a genius like Ashan in the future."

Gui Ge'er glared at Sun Dingnan and immediately retorted, "Brother Nan, you are totally wrong. I dare not say anything about others, but my brother Shan's son is definitely a smart boy and he must be as good at studying as Shan. A son resembles his father, and Shan's son is sure to be better than his father."

I thought to myself: It's normal that your son, Sun Dingnan, has no future, but his brother Shan's son will definitely have a bright future.

As for his own son, he would definitely become a servant to Shan Ge's son like himself.

Humph, Sun Dingnan said that Brother Shan’s son is not good enough, so who will his son serve as a servant to?

Gui Ge'er thought to himself: When Xiao Xiaoshan comes out, I must let him study hard.

When Brother Shan took the imperial examination, Xiao Xiaoshan became the top scorer.

He was the book boy of the Jinshi, and Xiao Xiaogui was the book boy of the top scholar.

Sun Dingnan also felt that he had said something wrong, so he quickly changed his words and said, "Gui Ge'er, you are right. Ashan's son must be a smart boy. Ashan is so smart, there is no reason why his son cannot be smart."

Sun Dali also thinks so: "Ashan is smart, and the He family is also smart. Haha, the kid born to Ashan and his wife must be smart and smart.

"Looking around and finding no one around, Sun Dali added: "The He family is really amazing. Our Ah Shan married a girl from the He family, and the boy he gave birth to must be amazing."

Gui Ge'er looked at Sun Dali with satisfaction, thinking that what the brick-mover said made a lot of sense and was very much in line with his wishes.

Sun Shan had no idea what the three people from Sunjia Village were talking about. When he woke up, it was already evening.

My stomach growled and I sat up, seeing Gui Ge'er dozing off on the table.

Sun Shan called out, "Gui Ge'er."

With this sound, Gui Ge'er woke up immediately.

He was not sleeping soundly to begin with, but when he heard Sun Shan's voice, he immediately opened his eyes and shouted happily: "Brother Shan, are you awake? Are you feeling unwell? Do you want to see a doctor?"

Sun Shan shook his head: "I'm fine, but I'm hungry and want to eat."

After a pause, he said emphatically: "Gui Ge'er, I want rice, not steamed buns or noodles."

I ate so much noodles in the exam room that I felt like vomiting. Now that I’m out, I really don’t want to eat anymore.

Gui Ge'er responded and ran out of the room in a hurry.

After a while, Gui Ge'er came in with Sun Dingnan and Sun Dali.

Serve the meal to Sun Shan.

Sun Shan was overjoyed when he saw it: a dish of steamed pork ribs, a dish of steamed fish, a dish of steamed chicken with mushrooms, a dish of green vegetables, and a bowl of yam pork ribs soup.

Of course, there is also the long-awaited white rice.

Gui Ge'er explained, "Brother Shan, the old lady said that you will have to go back to the examination room after you come out of the examination room, so you should eat light food and not eat food with too much steam. These are steamed, so you won't feel hot after eating them."

Mrs. He is not only considerate, but also very experienced.

Over the years, no matter if they were children of the He family or relatives by marriage, anyone who was willing to stay at the He family would be treated with great care and not neglected at all.

She didn't act like a lady of the third rank at all, and treated every candidate as warmly as a spring breeze.

Be nice to He Shujun, he is a close relative. Like He Shujun, he is your cousin and they just have the same ancestor, so their relationship is already five generations beyond the fifth generation, so it is still very good.

Sun Shan's relationship was even more distant, his surname was not even He, and he was just as gentle to this in-law.

Sun Shan was sure that Minister He had married a good wife; no wonder the family was able to prosper for three generations.

It feels so comfortable to eat rice in big mouthfuls and then take a sip of the moist soup.

Sun Shan asked, "Are Jun and the others awake?"

Sun Dingnan nodded and said, "He woke up and asked about your condition."

After a pause, he continued, "The He family's young master coughed after waking up. The old lady just hurriedly asked a doctor to come and see him. I don't know what the specific situation is."

Sun Shan asked with concern: "What happened? Wasn't he fine when he came out? How come he got into trouble after a nap?"

Sun Dali shook his head and said, "We don't know either. The doctor is still treating the patient. The old lady moved the He family's younger brother to another place, not next to us, because she was afraid that he would pass the disease to you."

Sun Shan never thought that his cousin would get sick.

Isn't he young and strong? How can he be more susceptible to illness than a skinny and weak premature baby like him?

Although the wind in the first round of the imperial examination was quite cold, it was not so cold that it was unbearable, right?

Sun Shan quickly finished his meal, then walked out of the room and called out "Brother Jun".

He Shujun walked out of the room, and the other two candidates also walked out. Everyone walked into the reception room, and the servants helped to light a charcoal fire to prevent the candidates in the house from getting cold.

If it was a normal time, there would be no need to take such careful care. But now it is an extraordinary time, so the old lady carefully instructed to take good care of him.

Sun Shan asked anxiously, "How is my cousin? I heard he is sick. What happened?"

He Shujun nodded, then shook his head, sighed and said, "I went to the doctor after I came back, but he couldn't find any problem. When I woke up, my whole body was hot and I was sweating, and I started coughing. The doctor just examined me and said I had caught a cold and I needed to rest well."

After a pause, he added, "Grandma told us to stay in the yard and not look for our cousin. We still have to go in tonight."

Another He family brother sighed and said, "Alas, judging from the situation, my brother can't enter the venue. What a pity, he got sick when he wasn't paying attention."

He Shujun said distressedly: "My cousin is young, and this is his first time entering the examination hall. He must not know anything. If he is not careful, the cold wind will enter his body. Alas, there is no other way. He can only miss this examination."

Sun Shan didn't know what to say.

I never thought that my cousin He would fail the exam in this way. It is really frustrating.

Sun Shan had no choice but to say comfortingly: "Luckily you got sick after you came out. If you had gotten sick in the examination room, the consequences would have been disastrous."

In previous years, there were candidates who insisted on entering the examination hall even though they were sick, and ended up dying in the examination hall.

Now that you have become a juren, you should cherish your life, because even if you fail, you still have the status of a juren to back you up, and you can live a good life, and you don't necessarily have to take the imperial examination.

After Sun Shan and his companions chatted for a while, the nanny beside the old lady came over and told them that cousin He had given up the exam and asked them to take good care of themselves.

Then they asked the doctor to check them again, and only left after making sure that everything was fine.
