Chapter 827: A good son is born out of a stick, a good apprentice is born out of a strict teacher
In the main hall, Zheng Tongsheng and Zheng Hongwen were happily chatting with the yamen runners.
Zheng Tongsheng stared at the good news in his hand. From the moment he learned that Sunshan High School had been admitted to the school until this moment, he had not yet calmed down.
Their small village actually produced a Jinshi, and their small village school actually produced a Jinshi.
What an honor and what an incredible thing it is.
Zheng Tongsheng looked at his second grandson, and then looked at the two words "Sun Shan" on the victory report.
They are both kids from the same village, but why are they so different from each other?
Zheng Tongsheng's lifelong wish was to have a scholar in his family. As a result, Zheng Hongwen passed the examination and became a scholar early on, but he has been lingering at the level of a scholar and has never been able to make the next step.
Let’s look at Sun Shan. He became a scholar at the age of thirteen and a Jinshi at the age of twenty-three. What a promising young man he was.
Zheng Tongsheng recalled Sun Shan's experience studying in the school. Like countless other children, he was nervous and uneasy at the beginning.
No talent shown, no uniqueness shown.
If there is anything different, it is to keep reading, reading, and reading.
No matter how strong the wind or rain or how loud the thunder or lightning was, Sun Shan still studied step by step.
Zheng Tongsheng said with emotion: "Ashan has known how to study since he was young. He is diligent and hardworking. He has read thousands of books by the window. God will not let down those who work hard. He successfully arrived in the capital, entered the examination hall, and passed the exam. Good, good, good. He is worthy of being my good student."
The class leader looked at Zheng Tongsheng. He heard that this was the mentor of Mr. Sun Jinshi, but he looked very ordinary.
How can one teach a Jinshi?
Don’t think that an enlightenment teacher is not a teacher. A student must learn knowledge steadily and solidly from an early age, and an enlightenment teacher is very important.
The class leader complimented him: "Congratulations! Master Zheng has taught a good student."
Zheng Tongsheng waved his hands and said, "You are too polite, sir. It has nothing to do with me. It is Ah Shan's own hard work. I just had the honor of teaching the Jinshi master."
He was very happy in his heart, for he never thought that he, a country teacher, could produce a successful Jinshi from his school.
Haha~haha~
Although it was not his credit, his school has the highest honor.
Sun Bomin on the side grinned and laughed all the time. From being excited, to being excited again, Sun Bomin's smile never stopped.
Lian Lian said: "Master Shanzi, don't be modest. Our Shanzi can achieve what he has today thanks to your careful teaching. At the beginning, you taught our Shanzi wholeheartedly, explained knowledge to our Shanzi, and gave him a lot of good advice. Shanzi and I have always kept it in our hearts."
It seems that Sun Bomin is complimenting Zheng Tongsheng, but in fact, everyone who knows Sun Bomin's character knows that he is speaking from the heart.
Sun Bomin was truly grateful to Zheng Tongsheng for patiently teaching Shanzi regardless of weather conditions, and more importantly, for recommending Shanzi to Hong Xiucai.
It did not delay Shanzi's further studies, allowing Shanzi to move forward step by step and then succeed step by step.
Uncle Sun stammered, "Brother is right. When Shanzi came to study at Zheng's school, Master Zheng taught him wholeheartedly. Because of Master Zheng's appreciation, our Shanzi studied harder. Master Zheng, our Shanzi is what he is today, thanks to your careful teaching back then."
The village chief also quickly agreed: "Master Zheng is a good teacher, not only good to our Shanzi, but also good to our students in Sunjia Village. Master Zheng, we will have to trouble you to take care of the children in Sunjia Village in the future. If they are disobedient in school, no need to say anything, just give them a good beating."
The village chief really likes Zheng Tongsheng, especially his strictness towards students, which he admires the most.
A stick makes a filial son, a strict teacher makes a good student. If you don't beat him harshly, the child will not listen.
Master Zheng is right to fight.
When Zheng Tongsheng heard the compliments, he said no but he was actually very happy. Who doesn't like to hear compliments? Who doesn't want their work to be recognized?
He smiled and told everyone about the scenes of Sun Shan studying in school when he was a child, of course, also mentioning De Ge'er and Yang Qingbei.
I am very disappointed with De Ge'er.
They expressed their deep regret for Yang Qingbei and lamented his untimely death.
In fact, apart from Sun Shan, County Magistrate Tang, and Yang Dalang, only a few people knew the real reason why Yang Qingbei died. Others only thought that Yang Qingbei died of a serious illness.
After Yang Qingbei died, his wife died, then the landlord Yang's wife died, then the landlord Yang died. Some people believed that the tiger's roar would bring bad luck to relatives and that he was destined to be alone, while others believed that there was something wrong with the feng shui of landlord Yang's family.
So more and more people were afraid to go to Landlord Yang's house, for fear of being brought into trouble.
Zheng Hongwen chatted with everyone and couldn't help but feel envious.
Ashan walked so far and flew so high. At first I looked down at him, but now I can only look up at him.
Zheng Hongwen is a broad-minded person. Although he feels sad, he is also proud of it.
He had a classmate who became a Jinshi, and he felt that his whole life was worth it.
After Wang Bo and his son Wang Gui accompanied Sun Bomin back, they hurriedly prepared a basket of copper coins and distributed them at the entrance of Sunjia Village.
Such a big happy event must be made known to the elders and villagers that a Jinshi has emerged from their Sunjia Village.
Of course, when Wang Bo and Wang Gui distributed the copper coins, they also mixed in a lot of careful thoughts and deliberately spread Yun Jie'er's good reputation as a person who brings good fortune to her husband, wealth, family and descendants.
Wang Bo and his family were arranged to live in a remote mountain area, and they were not very happy.
But slaves don’t have a choice in their destiny.
However, what is unexpected is that while my grandson-in-law is getting married, he will pass the high school entrance examination and will become an official in the near future.
Uncle Wang felt that his future was limitless again. Now their Sun family was about to become an official family, and their status would jump 360 degrees.
He is a servant of the government, and the first generation of it. As long as he works diligently, he might be appreciated by his brother-in-law and become the first servant of the Sun family.
Uncle Wang is full of confidence in the future.
Uncle Wang increasingly felt that their son-in-law was a promising man with a bright future.
Becoming a Jinshi at the age of 23 is something that even the eldest master of the He family couldn't do, but Sun's uncle did it.
Tsk tsk~ The son-in-law is a low-key person, but he suddenly appears after a while.
Uncle Wang couldn't help but sigh that Old Master He San had good vision and picked a good husband for the young lady, so that the young lady would soon become an official's wife, which was one step further than being the eldest lady.
The eldest lady does not have an imperial edict, but the young lady will have one soon.
Wow~ Miss is indeed blessed.
While distributing copper coins, Uncle Wang smiled and told everyone that his daughter was very lucky. Not long after she got married, her husband passed the imperial examination.
On the surface, it means to borrow the glory of the brother-in-law, but in fact it highlights that Sister Yun is very prosperous.
No matter whether the villagers who came to ask for copper coins believed it or not, Uncle Wang believed it anyway.
His son Wang Gui, who was working with him, believed it even more.
