Chapter 919 Visiting Zheng's Academy? (1)
The next morning, Sun Shan got up with dark circles under his eyes.
Thinking of the little fat girl last night, she cried four times in one night and was eager for milk every time.
Sun Shan and Yun Jie'er both wanted to die.
Sun Shan was sure that the little girl Xiaoxiao was not a little angel, but a little devil.
They must have seen that his life was going smoothly, so they came here deliberately to torture him.
Sun Shan glanced at the snoring little fat girl, then looked at Sister Yun who was also sleeping soundly, and sighed deeply.
It seems that grandma Huang is the smartest. She doesn't sleep in the old house at night, but goes to her second uncle's place.
After Sun Shan finished washing up and having breakfast, he asked Gui Ge'er to take the gifts to Hong's School.
After coming back for two or three days, he will go to visit Zheng Tongsheng. I believe Zheng Tongsheng is also looking forward to his arrival.
After breakfast, Hu Ming carried his small schoolbag and followed Sun Shan with his friends.
The naughty little Cowboy had gauze wrapped around his calves and was carried on Guang'er's back to school.
Of course the cowboy didn't want to go to school, but his father and grandfather watched him anxiously, so he had to go to school as a sick patient.
Sun Shan looked at the cowboy's timid appearance and said jokingly, "Cowboy, if you don't behave and play around, be careful or I'll give you a beating."
Poor cowboy, he fell out of favor in the third room because of the appearance of the hijab.
At the beginning, Uncle Sun had only one water chestnut in his family, Cowboy, and they spoiled him. Now that they are the only child, the love of Uncle Sun and Aunt Sun for Cowboy has been dispersed.
He used to just curse, but now he hits.
Uncle Sun and Aunt Sun also complained to Sun Shan: Cowboy is not a good boy. He doesn't like to study and only likes to go fishing in the river and climb trees to catch birds. They also decided to learn from their mistakes, reflect on themselves, and discipline Cowboy well in the future.
The cowboy buried his head in Guangger's back, not daring to look at Sun Shan.
Uncle Sun San now often threatens the cowboy that if he doesn't obey, he will let the official Sun Shan punish him and put him in jail.
Just like nowadays, if people’s kids are disobedient, they call the police to catch them.
At first the cowboy was not afraid, after all, Sun Shan was far away, but now he is afraid, because Sun Shan is so close.
Look, in the past few days since Sun Shan came back, Cowboy has been unusually well-behaved and doesn't dare to go out and play like a spoiled brat.
Guang Ge'er said helplessly: "Shanzi, my son won't listen to me, I need you to teach him a lesson."
Then he turned to the cowboy on his back and warned him, "Cowboy, if you don't obey me next time, I'll ask Uncle Shan to catch you and spank you. Cowboy, I'm telling you, Uncle Shan is an official, and he doesn't like naughty kids. Hum, Uncle Shan will really catch you and put you in jail."
The cowboy shuddered all over and glanced at Sun Shan furtively.
Especially when he met those triangular eyes that were as big as mountain peaks, his whole body trembled.
Uncle Shan is so scary. I really want to run away. What should I do?
The boys from the Sun family looked at the cowboy who didn't dare to say a word with a smile.
Hu Ming glanced at the cowboy and then at Shan Bo.
Not understanding why the cowboy was scared, Hu Ming felt that Shanbo was the best person in the world and he liked Shanbo the most.
The road from Sunjia Village to Zhengjia Village is not far. Sun Shan walked along the way and many villagers recognized him.
Some looked on curiously without saying anything, while some were brave enough to say hello.
Sun Shan nodded and smiled one by one, trying his best to maintain the image of a graceful gentleman.
Since passing the imperial examination, I have to pay attention to my dressing, walking manners, and facial expressions.
It's not that I want to pretend, but I have to.
Sun Shan was actually quite tired, especially when it came to laughing. Even if his smile was stiff, he had to keep smiling.
In life, we are inevitably forced to do things against our will. As the biggest star in Huangyang County, we have to maintain our image.
The greater the power, the greater the responsibility; the greater the exposure, the greater the hypocrisy.
As they walked, they arrived at Hong's School. Sun Shan found that many students gathered at the door and lined up in an orderly manner.
Looking closely, many of them were kids from Sunjia Village.
Yes, there is food subsidy for studying in the village, so the parents gritted their teeth and let their children come here to learn to read.
If you don't take advantage of something for free, you will suffer a loss. No one wants to miss out on a good deal.
Sun Shan and the village chief originally wanted to buy clan land and school land, but Huangyang County was full of mountains and little land, so they had no place to spend their money.
The village chief also discussed with Sun Shan whether to buy mountain land and plant fruit trees or medicinal herbs as a long-term income for the clan.
Sun Shan completely obeyed the village's arrangements.
It’s not that Sun Shan doesn’t want to take care of it, but there are simply too many things to do and he can’t take care of it.
I had no choice but to let the village chief take care of it, and he could only check the accounts occasionally.
Sun Shan led his son to the school gate. Zheng Bo was still guarding the gate. He felt a sense of familiarity when he saw him.
Zheng Bo looked at Sun Shan intently, and when he saw him clearly, he shouted excitedly, "Mr. Sun, are you here to see the Master?"
Sun Shan asked Hu Ming and the others to go in, then quickly stepped forward and gently helped Zheng Bo up.
He said with a smile on his face: "Zheng Bo, don't call me Mr. Sun, just call me Shanzi, it's more intimate."
Zheng Bo waved his hands excitedly: "No, no. You can't call me Shanzi. You are a Jinshi now."
Sun Shan joked, "Zheng Bo, even if I am a Jinshi, I am still Sun Shan from Sunjia Village and a student of Hong's School. Zheng Bo, I like you very much, and I especially like you to call me Shanzi. If you don't, I will be very sad.
When Zheng Bo heard this, he was delighted and said happily, "Okay, okay, okay, I will call you Shanzi."
Sun Shan stepped forward and handed over a purse, still smiling: "Zheng Bo, the journey to the capital is long, I wanted to buy some local specialties to give to you, but it's really inconvenient to carry them. This is my wedding money, you keep it and share in the good luck."
Zheng Bo quickly shook his head and said, "No, no."
Sun Shan forced the money in and said gently, "Uncle Zheng, this is my high school gift money, I have to accept it."
Zheng Bo was moved to hold the purse and said, "Okay, I'll take it. I'll take some of the good luck from the Jinshi master."
Zheng Bo had no children and depended on Zheng Tongsheng for his living. Sun Shan didn't know what to give him, so he simply gave him 2 taels and asked him to buy it himself.
When he was a child studying at Zheng's School, Zheng Bo never tired of heating up meals and boiling water for the students, and even making fire for them in winter.
Sun Shan gently supported Zheng Bo and looked at his sparse gray hair. Time flew by, youth was gone, and Zheng Bo had grown old.
Zheng Bo quickly welcomed Sun Shan into the yard, made tea for him first, and then hurried to the school to find Zheng Tongsheng and Zheng Hongwen.
No wonder I heard the magpie calling so early in the morning. Today, the distinguished guest has arrived and the Zheng residence is glorious.
After a while, I heard hurried footsteps.
After a while, Zheng Tongsheng and Zheng Hongwen appeared.
Sun Shan quickly stood up, walked over, and said with a smile, "Master, Brother Hongwen."
Zheng Tongsheng looked at Sun Shan excitedly, nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, okay, okay."
Zheng Hongwen was also slightly excited and said happily: "Ashan... No, Mr. Sun, you are here."
Sun Shan was delighted and gently helped Zheng Tongsheng to sit down.
He shook his head and said, "Brother Hongwen, just call me Ashan. We are old acquaintances, there is no need to be polite."
After Sun Shan said this, Zheng Hongwen blushed and smiled awkwardly: "Ashan, you are really amazing. I am proud of you for passing the imperial examination."
