Chapter 921: Aunt Sun Returns to Sun Village

Sun Shan not only left a test paper for Zheng Tongsheng, but also gave him a Duan inkstone.

Zheng Tongsheng quickly said that this was too expensive and he couldn't accept it.

Sun Shan could see that Zheng Tongsheng liked the Duan inkstone.

The four famous inkstones, which scholar doesn’t like them?

Sun Shan smiled and said, "Master, to tell you the truth, I still have a few Duan inkstones, which were given to me by a classmate whose family sells Duan inkstones. Take them, as a small token of my appreciation. Thanks to your careful teaching over the years, I have been determined to take the path of the imperial examination. Master, thank you."

Sun Shan said thank you so solemnly that Master Zheng was stunned, his eyes were red, his nose was sore, and he held the Duan inkstone tightly.

He said softly: "Since it is your intention, I will accept it."

In his heart, he secretly praised Sun Shan for being a grateful and good student, and for taking good care of Zheng's School over the years.

I am very fortunate to have such a good student.

Sun Shan chatted with Zheng Tongsheng for a while, then took Zheng Hongwen to take the test.

Finally, I came to the conclusion: there has been no progress, and I am even worse than Dapangpang. I may never get out of this repetitive path of the college entrance examination.

Sun Shan thought for a moment and said, "Brother Hongwen, why don't you go to the provincial school to study? Perhaps you can make more progress if you concentrate on studying rather than studying and teaching at the same time."

As he grew older, Zheng Tongsheng didn't have much energy to teach students, and most of the classes were taught by Zheng Hongwen.

As a result, Zheng Hongwen had even less time to concentrate on studying.

What's more, getting married and having children will bring more troubles.

Zheng Hongwen can't concentrate on his studies, so it would be difficult for him to make further progress.

Sun Shan was unable to recommend a good academy to Zheng Hongwen, and the only one he had connections with was the provincial school.

If Zheng Hongwen is willing, he can still go.

Zheng Hongwen was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said bitterly: "Ashan, if it were in the past, I would definitely go to study, but now it's not possible.

Firstly, getting married and having children is a lot of trouble and I can’t get away from it. Secondly, my grandfather’s health is getting worse and worse. If I leave, it will be difficult for Zheng’s School to maintain.

Thirdly, although the family can afford it, it still costs a lot. Fourthly, the child will grow up slowly, and he may choose to study in the future, so it is better to focus on nurturing him. "

After a pause, he said solemnly: "Ashan, I appreciate your kindness. It is fate and time, and I accept my fate now."

Zheng Hongwen and Sun Shan took the provincial examination together and were admitted as Tongsheng students in the same batch.

And then nothing happened, everyone’s study journey went further and further.

Sun Shan sighed and said, "Brother Hongwen, I understand. No matter what choice you make, you must have a clear conscience."

There is no need to talk about unpleasant topics once they have been discussed.

Zheng Hongwen continued to ask Sun Shan questions. With such a scholar offering advice, when else would he ask?

Although the road to the college entrance examination is difficult, as a human being, we still have to have some hope, otherwise what is the difference between us and a salted fish.

Whenever Zheng Hongwen asked a question, Sun Shan could answer it immediately.

Zheng Hongwen's eyes lit up, and he said admiringly: "Ashan, you are really amazing."

Don't worship me, he is just a legend.

Facing Zheng Hongwen's admiration, Sun Shan said nonchalantly: "If you read more books, you will naturally understand. Oil wears copper coins, and practice makes perfect."

After Sun Shan explained the knowledge to Zheng Hongwen, he also had a meal at Zheng's house.

Sun Shan was very familiar with the Zheng family. Not only was he and Zheng Tongsheng a teacher and a student, but they were also relatives by marriage.

Sun Shan felt very comfortable eating here.

After the meal, Zheng Tongsheng pulled him over to be an "idol tool" so that the students in the school could see the legendary Jinshi master.

Zheng Tongsheng said proudly: "This is your senior brother, who graduated from Zheng's School and has now passed the imperial examination. He will soon be appointed as an official in the local area. You must remember that your senior brother was able to pass the imperial examination because of his hard work and study. You should also learn from him."

The boy opened his eyes and mouth wide, looking at Sun Shan with admiration on his face.

This is the legendary Jinshi master, the senior brother that the Master mentioned from time to time.

Sun Shan held his head high, smiled with his eight teeth showing, and according to Zheng Tongsheng's instructions, he gave a speech to everyone entitled "How I Became a Jinshi".

Sun Shan tried his best to use humorous words in his speech, which made the students laugh.

Sun Shan smiled gently and encouraged the students: "Dear fellow students, everything is possible. Work hard and you all have a bright future."

Although he said some empty words, but he is still a human being and he always needs to be encouraged.

After bidding farewell to Zheng's School, Sun Shan returned home.

A woman rushed towards him, and when he looked closely, he found that it was Sun Xiaogu.

Oh, I haven’t seen you for a long time. I found that Aunt Sun has gained a lot of weight. It seems that she is living a good life.

When Sun Xiaogu saw Sun Shan, she cried out, "Shanzi, where have you been? Why can't I see you? Hey, let me take a look. Hey, you are getting more and more handsome. You are worthy of being the only Jinshi in Huangyang County."

Zhou Erlang next to him quickly corrected him: "Chun Jiao, our Shanzi is not only the first Jinshi in Huangyang County, but also the first Jinshi in Zhangzhou Prefecture. There is no scholar in the whole Zhangzhou Prefecture who can compare to Shanzi. Oh, our Shanzi is really promising."

Sun Xiaogu and Zhou Erlang, one on each side, pulled Sun Shan and talked in unison.

Sun Shan felt a headache after hearing this, but he had to maintain his good image as a Jinshi, so he had to keep smiling, and his face became stiff again.

After waiting for a long time for the couple to stop, Sun Shan quickly relaxed his face and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Aunt Sun then pulled Zhou Dabao and Zhou Miaomiao over and said, "Shanzi, as soon as your cousin heard that you were back, they quickly packed their bags and went back to Sunjia Village to see you. Oh, you three cousins ​​have had a good relationship since childhood, so you need to have an even better relationship in the future and get along well with each other."

Aunt Sun is really lying with her eyes open.

If Sun Shan and Zhou Dabao can be said to have a good relationship, but he and Zhou Miaomiao, it is impossible to say that they have a good relationship.

Zhou Miaomiao disliked Sun Shan at first, but Sun Shan heard it with his own eyes and ears.

Sun Xiaogu is worthy of being Sun Xiaogu, she is very thick-skinned.

Zhou Dabao smiled and asked honestly, "Cousin, when did you come back?"

Zhou Miaomiao also bowed to Sun Shan and called out, "Brother Shan."

As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling person, and Sun Shan has always been magnanimous and would not bother with a child.

He nodded and said, "I just came back not long ago."

When Sun Xiaogu saw Sun Shan talking and laughing with his two children, her heart was filled with joy.

He said happily: "Shanzi, why didn't you inform us when you came back? Hey, if we knew you were back, we would definitely go back to Sunjia Village as soon as possible."

Uncle Sun, who was sitting in the main seat, rolled his eyes and muttered in a low voice: "If you, Sun Chunjiao, knew that Shanzi was back, you would definitely come here the first time. Haha, you are not here to see Shanzi, you are here to seek benefits. Bah, everyone knows what kind of person you, Sun Chunjiao, why are you pretending."

Of course, Uncle Sun only dared to mutter in a low voice and did not dare to confront Aunt Sun in person.

After all, Huang was around, so she had to give the Buddha the benefit of the doubt. How could she dare to say anything bad about Sun Xiaogu?
