Chapter 1041: Plotting for a Horse
Two days later, Sun Shan got up early, took a bath, had breakfast, and then sat quietly in the City God Temple.
Gui Ge'er was washing Master Wang's horse in the yard.
After making sure it was clean, he grinned and said, "Brother Shan, Master Wang's horse is really handsome and docile. You can ride it and I guarantee you won't fall off."
Wang Jijun is a poor student, and a university scumbag who is lazy and has no idea what is going on.
He has no advantages in morals, intelligence, physique, or even appearance. The only thing he can show off is his family background.
But this point can kill 99% of my peers in seconds.
When choosing a horse, Young Master Wang would naturally choose one that was both handsome and docile. However, because of the encounter with bandits, Sun Shan got the advantage.
Young Master Wang's horse was temporarily used as an extra, and later Sun Shanyao would ride the horse and be the first to enter the city gate.
When Sun Shan was in Sunjia Village, he was still thinking about asking Gui Ge'er to go to the city to rent a horse to use as a shopkeeper when they arrived in Yuanlu County.
As a result, rent is also saved.
Sun Shan looked at Master Wang's horse carefully, greed in his eyes.
What would happen if, Sun Shan meant if, he took the horse for himself and did not return it to Young Master Wang?
Firstly, it was not auspicious or even unlucky for a horse to be pulling a cart of corpses, and a rich man like Young Master Wang would definitely avoid it.
Secondly, Sun Shan was Young Master Wang’s savior after all, so he didn’t ask for anything in return. Just send a horse over.
Sun Shan thought so, and so did Gui Ge'er.
He said with a smile: "Brother Shan, such a fine horse should be matched with such a handsome man like you. Haha, I think this horse is more suitable for you, Brother Shan. Master Wang may have forgotten about the fine horse. We have been taking care of it these days."
Sun Dali thought the same, and said naively, "I think Young Master Wang couldn't avoid this horse. Young Master Wang is afraid of getting involved in such an unlucky horse. Otherwise, why didn't he come to check on it these days? I'm afraid he has forgotten about this horse a long time ago."
Sun Dingnan nodded repeatedly and said, "Master Wang is a wealthy man. It's just a horse. Why would he care about it? Treating the disease is definitely the most important thing. Alas, there is no other way. We can only give it to us to take good care of it. It's unlucky for such a good horse to meet a master like Master Wang."
Because the big-headed dog only suffered skin injuries, he applied some medicine. After successfully reaching the destination, he started to eat, drink and jump again.
He scratched his head and said inappropriately, "Uncle Dali, this horse is unlucky. Is it suitable for the master to ride? The master is very precious and cannot be touched by these things.
Do you want to change another one? It’s still not too late to go to the city and rent one. At worst, we still have mules, and riding mules is not bad. I think our mule is luckier, and it has been with us all the way to Yuanlu safely...”
Before he could finish his words, he was slapped by Heitan.
He glared at the big-headed dog and said viciously: "Big-headed dog, what did you say!"
This big-headed dog is really bad at talking. Fortunately, he met the good-tempered Sun Shan. If it were someone else, he would have driven him back to Sun Village long ago.
Oh no, it turns out that entering through the back door is not allowed.
Sun Heitan made up his mind that after Sun Shan entered the city, he would quietly tell him that he should not appoint people based on personal connections but on merit.
Sun Heitan rushed to save the situation and said, "Our master is a great official, full of righteousness. The bad luck will be dissipated by the righteousness before it even gets close to our master.
Our master has no taboos, only things avoid him, how can he avoid things. Our master is the parent official of Yuanlu County, even if he encounters bad luck, he will turn it into good luck. Like this time when he encountered bandits, our master was fine.
You are injured, but the master is not injured."
When Sun Dali heard what the big-headed dog said, he wanted to slap him, but fortunately Sun Heitan came back.
After everything settles down, you must train the dog well and let him know that the consequences of talking nonsense are serious.
Sun Dali rolled his eyes at Big Head Dog and said, "Big Head Dog, follow me when we enter the city. Don't talk to anyone. If I find out, you won't have any food tonight."
Sun Dali is Big Head Dog's immediate superior, so naturally he has to keep a close eye on his subordinates if they say something wrong.
Sun Shan also looked at the big-headed dog speechlessly, thinking that the guard position was not suitable for him, nor was it suitable for field work, so he could only stuff the big-headed dog into the clerical position.
After everything was settled, Big Head Dog was sent to the kitchen to be an assistant to Nanny Wang and Mrs. Xia, and was asked to follow them and cook.
If you have talent, ask the chef to teach you. It will help you acquire a skill and also fulfill your childhood friendship.
Sun Shan asked Gui Ge'er to tidy up his clothes again. After confirming that he was the most handsome man in Yuanlu County, he couldn't help but give himself a thumbs up.
Master Zhang heard that the Sun family guards were planning to take Young Master Wang's handsome horse, and their county magistrate actually did not deny it, but of course did not confirm it either.
This, this made the master confused.
The master is such a person?
Mr. Zhang thought that Sun Shan was always gentle, kind, amiable, generous, and a modest gentleman who was cheerful and not calculative.
He is decisive in killing people, fearless in battle, and extremely brave.
Why is it that the Sun Shan in front of me is like the auntie and uncle next door, secretly happy with themselves for taking advantage of small gains?
Isn't this the image of a parent official in his mind at all?
Master Zhang was greatly shocked, but chose to remain silent.
Now that we are on Sun Shan's pirate ship, it will be difficult to get off.
No matter what kind of person Sun Shan is, he can only endure it and go all the way to the end.
Sun Shan asked Gui Ge'er to hold the bronze mirror and straighten his official hat. He saw that Master Zhang was standing silently by the side without saying a word, so he thought that he had not yet woken up.
Yes, I have to get up before dawn, take a shower, change clothes, wash up, and finish breakfast before dawn.
It’s such an inhumane way to get up, especially when taking part in the imperial examination.
Sun Shan asked, "Master, when did the government say they would come to the City God Temple?"
Master Zhang was still in shock when he suddenly heard Sun Shan's call.
He immediately came out and replied, "Master, they said we will arrive at Huangcheng Temple at the hour of Mao."
The hour of Mao is also known as sunrise, daybreak, and rising sun, which refers to the time when the sun just appears and rises slowly.
That is from five to seven in the morning.
The reason for choosing this time to welcome Sun Shan into the Yuanlu County government office is that it marks the new official's appointment and a new beginning.
Sun Shan nodded and looked at the sky outside. It was hazy and still dark, so it should not be time yet.
So he said to everyone, "Uncle Dali, wait for two people to stay in the City God Temple to guard the luggage. After the ceremony of my inauguration is over, send someone back to pick up the luggage."
Because of the presence of housekeeper Wang, Sun Shan's luggage was piled up into a small valley, which contained pots, pans, salt, oil, sauce, vinegar and sugar. Someone had to guard it to prevent anyone from taking advantage of the chaos.
Sun Dali accepted the order: "Master, I understand."
It was secretly decided to leave the big-headed dog in the Huangcheng Temple to look after the luggage and not let him enter the city.
