Chapter 741 Comforting He Clan Brother
Thanks to the encouragement from his elder brother He and the comparison with his younger brother He, Sun Shan miraculously felt much better on the fourth day and was able to go out and bask in the sun.
Gui Ge'er said happily: "Brother Shan, you are in much better spirits today. You will be fully recovered in a few days. That's great. I was so worried these days. Now I can finally rest assured."
Sun Dali and Sun Dingnan have been staying in He's house these days and have not gone out to do hard labor.
Seeing that Sun Shan was indeed in high spirits, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Sun Dingnan said happily, "The doctor said that your illness has been greatly cured, and you only need to take the medicine for one more day. He also said that medicine is three-tenths toxic, so it is better to eat tonic food instead of taking medicine. Haha, the old lady asked the doctor for a list of tonic food, and said that she would cook the food on it for you."
Sun Dali was also happy that Sun Shan's health had improved greatly. He said with a smile, "Now that Ashan is better, I feel relieved. These days I was most worried that your illness would relapse, but fortunately it didn't happen. It's really great."
Sun Shan nodded and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work these days. I made you worry about my illness."
Gui Ge'er and the other two quickly waved their hands and said it was their duty.
We are all family, and we should help each other. Besides, the three of them didn't help much, and it was the He family who ran around.
Tell Sun Shan not to be so polite, as they are not used to it.
Sun Shan smiled and stopped talking about this topic. We are all family, and it would be uncomfortable and embarrassing to be too polite.
it is more than words.
Sun Shan was seriously ill, but he felt much better after he felt better.
So I went to visit my cousin He’s “single-room apartment”.
Seeing that He's cousin had lost at least 10 to 20 pounds, he was shocked and asked, "Brother, what's wrong with you? Why have you lost so much weight? What happened? Didn't the doctor say that your illness is nothing serious?"
Poor He brother, he didn't have much fat to begin with, and he suddenly became extremely thin, with only his ribs left, looking both pitiful and scary.
Isn't it just missing the exam? Is it necessary to do this?
Before, they were busy with the imperial examination and trying to avoid being infected by his cousin He, so they didn't meet. After the examination, Sun Shan fell ill and was unable to take care of himself, so they still didn't meet.
Now that he had time to come over and take a look, Sun Shan was shocked.
The eighteen-year-old He clan brother was originally tender and juicy, like a big white radish just pulled out of the ground.
After a period of illness, He Zudi was like a dried white radish, severely dehydrated and wrinkled like an old man.
When He Zudi saw Sun Shan, he said dejectedly, "Brother Shan, these past few days I have been wondering why I was so careless and got sick, and why I missed the exam. The more I think about it, the sadder I get. The sadder I get, the worse my illness gets. The worse my illness gets, the sadder I get.
Brother Shan, I really regret it now. Why did I try to be brave and not pay attention to keeping warm? There was charcoal fire, but I thought I could do it. I didn't light the charcoal fire first, but insisted on doing the test paper. In the end, after finishing the test paper, the cold wind also entered my body. Brother Shan, I really regret it. "
Poor kid, he must be relying on his youth to do whatever he wants.
I feel strong and fearless.
Alas, that's what youth is, there's nothing we can do about it.
People will never be able to teach others, but things can teach people once, that is enough.
After this incident, I believe that He Zudi will be more sensible next time.
Sun Shan patted his cousin He's shoulder and said soothingly, "Brother, don't be like this. I'm telling you the truth. Even if you enter the examination room and complete the examination, you won't be on the list."
He Zudi looked at Sun Shan in shock, not understanding why Sun Shan said that.
Sun Shan continued to explain: "My cousin, you are only eighteen years old this year. If you pass the imperial examination, you will be an eighteen-year-old Jinshi. I have never heard of an eighteen-year-old Jinshi.
Tsk tsk, cousin, you are still too young. This is the tribulation that God has given you. This is called good things come hard. God often dislikes smart people and wants you to go through difficulties before giving you success. "
He paused, pointed at himself and said, "My cousin, I passed the imperial examination at the age of nineteen, and planned to show my talent in the imperial examination just like you. In the end, I failed halfway, and I had to wait three years to come back.
You and I are both young and promising, smart and alert.
What God dislikes most is geniuses like us, so he gives us hardships.
My cousin, I don’t blame you for giving up halfway this time.”
He pointed to the sky and said, "If you want to blame someone, blame this. We can't defeat it. Don't let the exam get you into trouble. We need to look forward. Last time I was stranded in Nanjing, I had a serious illness just like you. But at that time I thought that God couldn't defeat me and I would come back in three years. My cousin, you saw the result. Three years later, I really came."
Sun Shan patted his cousin He's shoulder again and said, "Brother, you and I are very similar. We had a very smooth life before, and God couldn't bear to see us being so proud, so he arranged a disaster for us.
Humph, cousin, don't be afraid. This kind of disaster is just a small obstacle for a top scholar like us. We can just kick it away."
He clan brother frowned, his eyes were blurry, and the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably.
He Zudi felt that Brother Shan was so strange and arrogant. How could he dare to brag like this?
How dare you, a potential top scholar, say such big words?
I heard that Shan Ge ranked last in the provincial examination, how could he jump to first place in the imperial examination?
He Zudi would never believe that there would be such a qualitative leap.
But what Shan Ge said does make some sense. He was indeed too successful, so God was displeased with him.
As a result, the imperial examination tripped him up and caused him to suffer a severe blow.
He Zudi looked at Sun Shan. It was said that he ate poisonous fish but did not die. He appeared alive and kicking three years later.
He Zudi thought about himself and thought that if he recovered from his illness this time, he would be able to return to the city in three years as lively and energetic as Sun Shan.
If Sun Shan can do it, he can definitely do it too!
Thinking of this, my mood improved.
He's brother said gratefully: "Brother Shan, I've figured it out. I will cheer myself up, get well, and come back to fight in three years!"
Seeing that his cousin He was full of energy, Sun Shan said happily, "Brother, I'm glad you figured it out."
Then he rolled his eyes around and looked around furtively, only to find that there was no one around.
He whispered, "Brother, it's okay for Jun and his friends to enter the exam smoothly. Hehe, they still failed the exam last time. Hehe, it's the same as us if they took the exam. So, brother, we failed because of physical reasons, and they failed because of their strength. Hehe, they are worse than us."
In order to help He's brother get better quickly, Sun Shan tried his best.
The reasons for failing the exam vary greatly. Once compared, He Shujun and others can give up because they failed because they are not as strong as others.
Sun Shan and He Zudi failed the exam for the first time because of their physical condition. Their strength was still unknown and they were full of hope.
He's brother blushed, and quickly waved his hands and said, "Brother Shan, Brother Jun and the others are also very capable, but they are just behind because there are so many talented people in the examination. Don't say that."
Although He Zudi said this, it was obvious that his mood had improved a lot.
Sun Shan patted his shoulder and said cheerfully, "Alright, get well soon. I heard there are a lot of fun things to do in the capital. Let's go and have some fun."
