Chapter 820: The First Jinshi in the History of Huangyang County
After careful calculation, a good retreat was planned.
County Magistrate Tang and his legal advisor were in a good mood and couldn't help laughing.
The master asked, "Sir, are we going to Sunjia Village to announce the good news now?"
It's not right to tell good news to an enemy. But it's not okay not to tell good news either.
At least on the surface, Sun Shan and Lord Tang did not fall out.
The people of Huangyang County never knew that Yang Xiong's death was entirely caused by Sun Shan's coercion.
The people thought that Lord Tang was sacrificing his own relatives for the sake of justice, and he received a lot of praise.
County Magistrate Tang immediately said, "Report it, of course! Not only should we report the good news, but we should also report it in a big way, so that the people of the whole county will know that a Jinshi has emerged from Huangyang County. Haha, go and make arrangements quickly, and make it as lively as possible."
Although Magistrate Tang disliked Sun Shan and did not want to announce the good news, if he did not, it would certainly be an abnormal move and would arouse suspicion.
Therefore, they must pretend that nothing has happened. Just as other places are happy about the successful candidates in the imperial examination, they in Huangyang County should be just as happy, or even happier.
This is the first Jinshi in the history of Huangyang County, which is a great joyful event.
The lawyer understood what Magistrate Tang meant and immediately took orders and arranged for someone to report the good news.
The master arranged two teams to report the good news.
One went to Sunjia Village to report the news, and the other wandered around the county beating drums and gongs, bound to spread the news of Sunshan High School.
The lawyer felt even happier when he thought that he would be able to leave Huangyang County in the near future.
When he gave orders to the people in the yamen to do things, he appeared kind and friendly.
The county government had just received the news, and within a moment, the county school knew that Sun Shan had been admitted to high school.
De Ge'er, who worked at the county school, was stunned for a moment, then he jumped up and down and shouted loudly: "Shanzi, my Shanzi, my Shanzi has become a Jinshi master."
After receiving the news, De Ge'er ran out without even asking for leave.
The instructor, seeing that he was the brother of a Jinshi, was very generous and allowed De Ge'er to "execute first and report later."
Look, when one person succeeds, the whole family will benefit.
De Ge'er also became more confident.
De Ge'er ran out, not to find Mr. Hong, but to Mr. Huang's house to report.
Huang Xiucai covered his chest and raised his head and shouted: "Why, why is Sun Shan not my student? Why is it that student named Hong? Why, why, God is so unfair!"
Poor Mr. Huang, he fought with Mr. Hong every day, but he was always defeated.
Up to now, the school still has not produced a single scholar, let alone a juren or jinshi.
During the enrollment season, Hong Xiucai's school selects students, and Huang Xiucai's students are the ones left over by Hong Xiucai.
As a result, the gap became wider and wider. Huang Xiucai's school was initially on par with Hong Xiucai's school, but now it is gradually declining.
The only thing Huang Xiucai was thankful for was marrying his niece to De Ge'er, so that the Huang family and the Sun family could have a relationship.
De Ge'er couldn't help but feel scared when he saw that his father-in-law's eldest brother seemed to be crazy.
Oops, I shouldn’t have come to Huang’s house. What a mistake.
In De Ge'er's mind, he is the son-in-law of the Huang family, so he came here first to share the good news, but he didn't know that it would irritate Huang Xiucai.
Seeing this, De Ge'er stepped back step by step, then turned around and ran out quickly like a rabbit.
He turned quickly and ran towards the Hong Family School not far away.
When Hong Bo saw De Ge'er, he asked in confusion: "De Ge'er, aren't you studying in the county school? Why did you run away?"
I looked at the time. It should be working hours now. Could it be that De Ge is skipping work and being lazy?
De Geer said excitedly: "Uncle Hong, where is Master Hong? I have good news to tell him."
In fact, De Ge'er wanted to run back to Sunjia Village, but the teacher said that after the government prepared a team with gongs and drums, they would go to Sunjia Village to announce the good news.
So De Ge'er decided not to return to Sunjia Village for the time being.
The wife took the child to visit relatives with her mother-in-law. De Geer thought about going back to the village with his wife and child tomorrow.
Uncle Hong didn't know what De Ge'er wanted to talk to Hong Xiucai about, so he smiled and said, "The teacher is in the school. If it's not urgent, you'd better not look for the teacher."
Hong Xiucai was a conscientious teacher who hated people coming to him for class.
If it is not an urgent matter, it is better to wait until after class.
De Geer said anxiously: "Uncle Hong, this is a great happy event, please call Master Hong out quickly."
Uncle Hong didn't believe it, shook his head and said, "Brother De, is there any good news? Tell me first, and then I'll tell the Master."
De Ge'er likes to brag, and Uncle Hong doesn't believe that the happy event he talks about is really as big as the sky.
De Geer stamped his feet and said, "Uncle Hong, go and call Master Hong out. I guarantee that after hearing this, he will not be in the mood to teach. Go quickly!"
Uncle Hong looked at De Ge'er suspiciously, but was still reluctant to interrupt Mr. Hong's class.
Ask De Ge'er what's going on and tell him first.
De Ge'er insisted on not telling anything and vowed that the news must be told to Hong Xiucai first before telling Uncle Hong.
This made Uncle Hong so angry that he didn't want to pay any attention to De Ge'er.
However, De Ge'er persisted and Uncle Hong had no choice but to call out Hong Xiucai tremblingly, risking being scolded by him.
Mr. Hong had a cold face and looked at Uncle Hong steadily. When he saw De Ge'er, he also looked at him steadily.
Obviously very unhappy.
Sure enough, Uncle Hong was right. Mr. Hong hated being interrupted when he was teaching his students.
De Geer said excitedly: "Master Hong, Shanzi, Shanzi passed the imperial examination. I just received the news from the county school. Shanzi from Hong's school passed the imperial examination and became a Jinshi."
Mr. Hong was stunned for a moment, pursed his lips, his expression did not change, but his trembling hands betrayed his calmness.
He asked anxiously, "Brother De, what did you say? Shanzi High School? Is what you said true or false?"
De Ge'er didn't dare to lie, and patted his chest to assure, "Pearls are not that real. The government just received a bulletin. Shanzi really passed the imperial examination. Oh my God, our Sun family actually has a Jinshi master, Oh my God, our Sun family will soon have an official master."
Mr. Hong didn't say anything, Uncle Hong screamed and shouted: "Brother De, what did you say? Say it again? Brother Bomin's son passed the imperial examination? He became a Jinshi? You are not mistaken, is it really Shanzi?"
De Geer said firmly: "It is Shanzi, it is Shanzi, our Shanzi."
De Geer said confidently, "Uncle Hong, Shanzi has always been extremely smart, intelligent, and smart as ice. He will definitely pass the imperial examination. Look, he passed the examination smoothly this time. Haha, the fortune teller said that our Shanzi will become a high-ranking official in the future, bringing honor to the family and benefiting the people."
De Ge'er chatted incessantly with Uncle Hong, praising Sun Shan without asking for any compensation.
I wish I could praise Sun Shan as a beautiful and charming flower.
Hong Xiucai, who was trying his best to suppress his excitement, nodded repeatedly and said, "Brother De, you are right. Shanzi is indeed such a child. He has been different from other children since he was young. He is indeed a man of great fortune."
