Chapter 1096: County Magistrate Wang Meets His Nephew
County Magistrate Wang was just about to take a step forward and ask his nephew what had happened. Of course, the most important thing was to ask him if he had discovered anything special during these days of following Sun Shan around.
Before he got close, Sun Dingnan came out and said, "Wang County Magistrate, Master Jiaxing is studying hard and must not be disturbed at this time. Three days later, our master will give Master Jiaxing a test paper based on the format of the academy exam so that he can familiarize himself with the process of the academy exam in advance."
After a pause, he continued, "Our master thinks highly of Master Jiaxing. According to his current condition, he has an 80% chance of passing the college entrance examination in August. Now it's only a few months away, and it's also the most important time. We must not disturb him."
In fact, what Sun Dingnan said was right. August is not far away. Being in Yuanlu County deep in the mountains, it takes some time to get to Chenzhou Prefecture, so we have to set off early.
In addition to acclimatization, weather and other natural conditions, it is best to set off early.
Before that, Sun Shan went to Zhangzhou Prefecture from Huangyang County to take part in the college entrance examination a full month in advance.
Therefore, for the sake of safety, students in Yuanlu County may have to start their studies two months in advance.
The time left for Wang Jiaxing seems to be a lot, but it is actually very little.
County Magistrate Wang: .....
My nephews are so close to me, why can't we let them see each other and talk?
What on earth is Lord Sun doing?
Even if the college entrance examination is urgent, there is no need to rush for a while.
Does Lord Sun think he is a fool?
Although I don’t know what Sun Shan is going to do, it is definitely not for the college entrance examination in August.
County Magistrate Wang simply shouted, "Hanging thug, come out!"
I don't believe that anything can stop them from meeting each other.
Wang Jiaxing, who was studying hard inside, was very unwilling at first, but he became engrossed in reading, especially when Lord Sun actually showed him his treasured book notes.
Oh, shouldn't this be the Sun family's heirloom? Why is it being shown to an outsider?
Could it be that Lord Sun really thinks he has great potential, so he has the foresight to identify a hero and focuses on cultivating him?
Or maybe after he passes the college entrance examination, Master Sun will accept him as his apprentice?
Thinking of this, Sun Jiaxing couldn't help but frowned.
Should I accept Master Sun as my teacher? Or should I reject Master Sun?
Although Lord Sun is very talented and is a newly-minted Jinshi, he is still too young. We should find some older second-class scholars to enter the mountains.
No, it would be better to become a disciple of a top-ranking scholar, so that your academic performance can be taken to a higher level.
I am so smart and have great potential, I will definitely be popular, and becoming your disciple will be a piece of cake.
You shouldn't just hang your neck on Lord Sun's tree. You should go to Chenzhou Prefecture to develop a broader space, or even go to Yuelu Academy to find a better famous teacher.
As for how to study at Yuelu Academy, Wang Jiaxing had never thought about it, he just believed that he could do it.
Suddenly, a shout came from outside, waking Wang Jiaxing up from his sweet dream.
I looked up and out the window, Emma, my uncle is here.
Wang Jiaxing didn't say anything and started to run away.
Sun Dali, who was squatting in the yard, coughed, glared at Wang Jiaxing, and then looked at Sun Shan's collector's edition book filled with notes.
Wang Jiaxing was shocked by these two looks.
Lord Sun said that if he disobeyed the arrangements and left the yamen without permission, his treasured notes would no longer be given to him, and he would not be given any special training.
Mr. Sun also said that only when you have a responsibility to learn can you absorb the knowledge. If you think too much, you will waste your energy for learning.
Especially as the college entrance examination is approaching, you need to study harder and not let others disturb you.
If you go out and wander around, your mind will be distracted from studying, and it will be difficult to gather it back.
Lord Sun suggested that we take notes, do papers and write articles in the yamen these days.
When the time comes for the college entrance examination, you can go directly to the exam without any gaps and get twice the result with half the effort.
Wang Jiaxing suspected that Sun Shan was talking nonsense, but he dared not disobey him.
After all, Sun Shan was successful, and people were convinced whatever he said.
She even took out such valuable notes, which proved that she cared about him even more and would not lie to him.
Wang Jiaxing thought about it and decided to stay in the government office and study hard. After a few months, he successfully made the list and left Lord Sun behind, and ran to Chenzhou Prefecture and even Yuelu Academy to find famous teachers.
As for the information I want to give to my uncle, hehe, if I can’t tell it face to face, I can write it down.
The yamen is full of my uncle's people, and as long as the opportunity is right, they will definitely be able to pass it on.
After Wang Jiaxing met County Magistrate Wang, his excited heart was interrupted by Sun Dali's coughs and immediately calmed down.
He walked out calmly and saluted County Magistrate Wang: "Uncle, long time no see. Please forgive me for being rude, I was just reading."
Wang Jiaxing winked at County Magistrate Wang in a look that only he understood.
I was saying in my heart: Uncle, don’t worry, I will inform you when I find the opportunity.
In the eyes of County Magistrate Wang, his nephew's eyes were twitching and he had no idea what he was trying to say.
County Magistrate Wang frowned and asked, "Xingyazi, how are you these days? Your grandparents miss you so much, why don't you go home first? Studying requires perseverance, so it won't cost you a little while."
Wang Jiaxing said quickly, "Uncle, I have learned a lot from following Lord Sun these days, but there are still many things I don't understand, so I stayed in the government office so that I can ask Lord Sun. Uncle, go back and tell grandpa and grandma that I am doing well here and Lord Sun is taking special care of me."
After saying this, he winked at County Magistrate Wang, but only he understood that look.
County Magistrate Wang:.......
What was his nephew doing? Why was he blinking at him? Was he being coerced into speaking?
They are the local bosses, so how could they be afraid of Sun Shan who just arrived?
I heard from my nephew that he wanted to stay in the yamen. No, it should be said that he wanted to stay with Sun Shan.
What is this for? Is it really just to ask for advice?
Wang Jiaxing looked at County Magistrate Wang, who was frowning and seemed not to understand what he meant, and felt a little anxious.
His expression remained calm as he said, "Uncle, I will stay in the government office and study hard for the August examination. Uncle, if there is anything you need, I will write home and ask my father and mother to send it to me! Uncle, don't worry........."
He glanced at County Magistrate Wang deliberately, and emphasized the word "write a letter".
It's so obvious, uncle should understand.
This time, County Magistrate Wang really understood.
My nephew must have had his own reasons for staying in the yamen.
Although the sentence "write a letter" just now was addressed to grandpa and grandma, it was actually written to him.
County Magistrate Wang did not dare to ask any more questions. This was the inner courtyard of the county government office and everyone here was Sun Shan's people, so he could not say too much.
Speaking of the inner court, County Magistrate Wang was also convinced. It was the first time he had seen such a county magistrate.
Inner courtyard, inner courtyard, shouldn’t women live there?
Except for two old and ugly women, Lord Sun's inner courtyard is filled with men.
It is said that Lord Sun has already married and has children, so even if he does not bring a wife, he can bring a concubine.
What is the result? I am afraid that now all the mosquitoes in the inner courtyard of the county government are male.
This Lord Sun is so special that County Magistrate Wang cannot do anything at the moment, so everything remains the same.
After understanding his nephew's intention, County Magistrate Wang advised him to study hard and strive to pass the imperial examination to become a scholar, and then he left in a proud mood.
