Chapter 865 Li Xinjun couldn’t explain how this “shitty luck” came about

Li Xinjun looked at Sun Shan carefully again and felt that Sun Shan had changed, but also felt that Sun Shan had not changed.

At least it hadn't changed since the moment I sent him the visiting card. I was still thinking about him, my childhood friend.

Li Xinyun said admiringly: "Ashan, I never thought you could pass the high school entrance examination. It's really unexpected."

Sun Shan nodded with a smile: "Thanks to the grace of the emperor, the number of places for this year has increased. I was lucky enough to make the list. In fact, I was also very surprised. I didn't expect that I could pass the exam."

Li Xinyun said happily: "Ashan, you are now the first Jinshi in Zhangzhou Prefecture since the new dynasty. After hearing the news, the people of the whole city are very happy. My father said that the prefect was even happier. He lamented that Zhangzhou Prefecture finally had a Jinshi. I believe that with your example, there will be more Jinshi in the future."

Sun Shan said proudly: "I am very happy to be the first Jinshi in Zhangzhou Prefecture. I also hope that Zhangzhou Prefecture will continue to produce many Jinshi in the future. We have good men in Zhangzhou Prefecture. I believe that the education in Zhangzhou Prefecture will get better and better."

Li Xinyun pestered Sun Shan to learn about the situation of the imperial examination in Beijing, and said with a smile: "Ashan, I heard that the young talents from all over the country will gather in Beijing, and there will be various competitions before the exam. Is it true?"

It’s true. Sun Shan once participated in a poetry competition, but he was game over in the first round. It makes me cry when I talk about it.

Li Xinjun liked listening to it, so Sun Shan briefly described to him the scene of everyone competing in poetry.

He sighed and said, "There are many talented people in the capital. I am just a nobody when I go there. I can never win when compared with others. After I leave, I realize how insignificant I am."

Brother Hong Chengcai, who was listening on the side, said anxiously: "Ashan, you are not a small person at all, you are the only big person we know."

Li Xinyun echoed, "What the Hong brothers said is right, Ah Shan, don't underestimate yourself. You are amazing. You stood out among all the candidates and made the list. No one in Zhangzhou can compare to you."

Hong Chengcai said proudly: "Brother Li is right. Ashan is the first Jinshi in Zhangzhou Prefecture. No one in Zhangzhou Prefecture can compare to Ashan."

Sun Shan was speechless. Both the Hong brothers and Li Xinjun repeatedly mentioned the "first Jinshi".

It seems that I, a Jinshi, have really become a "net celebrity Jinshi" in Zhangzhou Prefecture.

Sun Shan couldn't help but think that he would become famous wherever he went, he was born with the "Internet celebrity physique".

Haha, I don’t know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing. Of course, at present, it is still a good thing.

Sun Shan told Li Xinyun and others about the joint examination, the palace examination, the imperial examination, and the time he spent waiting for an official position in the capital.

The audience screamed loudly, especially when they heard that Sun Shan had to get up in the middle of the night almost every day.

I even exclaimed: "It's so hard, so hard!" I never thought that "going to Beijing to take the exam" would be so complicated.

Fortunately, all the hard work paid off.

Sun Shan did not tell them that he had become an "Internet celebrity". It was better not to tell them such things to avoid making a fool of himself.

Li Xinyun knew that Sun Shan had taken the imperial examination and ranked last in the palace examination, and was granted the same status as a Jinshi.

He couldn't help but cover his chest and exclaimed: "It's a close call, it's a close call, luckily I made the list. Ah Shan, you are so lucky. You always rank last in the exams, and you just happen to make the list every time, it's really..."

Li Xinjun couldn't explain how this kind of "shitty luck" came about, it completely overturned his cognition.

Second Brother Hong patted his chubby chest and cried out, "Ashan, your luck is unmatched. Oh, it was so thrilling and so lucky."

Hong Chengcai said as a matter of course: "Ashan in our family has always been lucky. My grandfather said that it was fortunate that he asked Ashan to take the exam early. Since then, luck has always been with him and he has passed the exams every time. Ahahaha~ Ashan, you are a lucky boy."

Sun Shan smiled and agreed, "I am indeed somewhat lucky. I am satisfied as long as I can pass. I don't ask for much."

When everyone heard this, they burst into laughter. Even Jianzi and the two little kids who were listening on the side laughed cheerfully.

Sun Shan told Li Xinjun about his recent situation, and Li Xinjun also told Sun Shan about his recent situation.

However, Li Xinyun's current situation is rather mediocre, as he still failed the provincial examination last year.

Li Xinyun said with deep emotion: "I have decided to try again in two years. If I still fail, I will not take the exam again."

He looked at Sun Shan with mixed feelings, and said thoughtfully: "Ashan, you are now the magistrate, and I am still a scholar. Ashan, we..."

Li Xinjun thought that they were drifting further and further apart, and as time went by, perhaps the feelings of their youth would slowly fade away, and the two would no longer have any intersection.

Sun Shan shook his head and said, "Ayun, don't be discouraged. You are only a few years older than me, and you are still very young. Don't give up."

The road to the imperial examination is like thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge. Only a few can make it across, so Sun Shan doesn't dare to say too much.

Then he continued, "I brought back a lot of papers from the provincial and imperial examinations from the capital this time. I'll bring you a copy. I don't know if it will be useful, but it's better to take a look than not to.

Li Xinjun held Sun Shan's hands tightly and said excitedly: "Ashan, thank you."

Li Xinyun also told Sun Shan about the current situation of his classmates living in the dormitory.

Since his mother passed away, Zhang Chaoyang gave up the idea of ​​entering the entertainment industry and returned home to become a teacher.

Jiang Qian and Liu Wenhuan also returned home and reviewed while working.

Last year, he went to Guangzhou to take part in the provincial examination, but he also failed.

Li Xinyun said with emotion: "Ashan, among so many of us, you are the most promising. I hope you can fly higher and farther in the future."

In fact, the reason why the literary style in Zhangzhou Prefecture was not popular was not only due to the atmosphere, but more importantly due to economic reasons.

Taking exams again and again and failing again and again will deplete your family assets.

Therefore, many scholars stopped taking the exam after taking it three or four times and chose to make a living on their own.

Some people prepare for the exam while working, but the results are often not as good as expected, and they will eventually fail in the imperial examination.

Li Xinyun's family background is not bad and can still support him.

The family conditions of Zhang Chaoyang and his friends were much worse, so they had to return home.

Li Xinjun chatted with Sun Shan for a while, then left and made an appointment with Sun Shan to have dinner at his house the next night.

His grandmother, father and mother strongly requested that Sun Shan visit the Li family, saying that they missed him very much.

Sun Shan thought about it and agreed.

I will meet the prefect tomorrow morning, go to the county school in the afternoon, and have dinner at the Li family when I have time in the evening.

After Li Xinyun left with the "Imperial Examination Materials", Hong Chengcai poked his head out, pulled Jianzi up, and looked at Sun Shan hesitantly.

Sun Shan asked doubtfully, "Brother Chengcai, we are so familiar with each other, just say it if you have anything to say."

Hong Chengcai stamped his feet and asked with great determination: "Ashan, does Jianzi have the information you gave to Brother Li?"

Jianzi looked at Sun Shan with his eyes wide open. He really wanted to say that it was okay to have these materials because he just heard Uncle Shan say that they were test papers.

Jianzai doesn't want to do it.

Sun Shan had no idea what that little brat Jianzi was thinking.

He smiled and said, "Brother Chengcai, anyone can be missing, but Jianzi must not be missing. Everyone says that Jianzi is the hope of the Hong family. In fact, Jianzi is also my hope. I like Jianzi very much, and I hope that Jianzi will grow strong and become a towering tree that can hold up the sky."
