Chapter 1124 College Exam Simulation
When Sun Shan returned to the yamen, the sun had already set.
As soon as I walked into the backyard, I saw Wang Jiaxing.
Why is this kid rushing over here? Doesn't he need to study hard?
The college entrance examination in August is not far away, so I have to check for any gaps and fill them up quickly.
When Wang Jiaxing saw Sun Shan, he ran hurriedly and stood in front of Sun Shan.
He was still very polite, cupped his hands, and saluted Sun Shan: "Master Sun, you are back."
Sun Shan nodded and asked straight to the point, "What's the matter?" He didn't waste any more time. He was very busy. After dinner, he had to work by candlelight and had to go out of the city to work early the next morning.
Wang Jiaxing leaned forward and asked flatteringly, "Sir, where have you been? I saw you were in a hurry. Is there something urgent?"
Sun Shan said calmly, "It's none of your business. Don't think about it. Your main task now is to prepare for the college entrance examination."
Wang Jiaxing:.......
Lord Sun was speechless and couldn't continue the conversation with him.
Wang Jiaxing was always thick-skinned. He pretended not to understand what Sun Shan meant and continued to ask, "Master Sun, I have a question for you."
Sun Shan glanced at Wang Jiaxing and said calmly, "What's the problem? You can ask questions about your studies, but if it's not about your studies, don't ask."
Wang Jiaxing:.......
I really want to slap Lord Sun.
Wang Jiaxing endured it again and again, still pretending that he didn't understand what Sun Shan said.
Anyway, even if he asked some irrelevant questions, Lord Sun would not hit him, at most he would just scold him a few words.
Just scold me, and even after being scolded, I will still enjoy everything I eat.
Wang Jiaxing asked shamelessly, "Master Sun, I noticed that the vegetables in the backyard have grown very well these days. Did they use the so-called bird droppings? Is this the bird droppings we brought back from Big Bird Village?"
Wang Jiaxing secretly observed and found out what Lord Sun was busy with after he brought back the bird droppings for the first time.
Afterwards, people were sent to Da Niao Village to transport bird droppings, and no one knew what they were busy with.
However, Nanny Wang and Big Head Dog said that the bird droppings were fertilizers, and the vegetables in the backyard of the government office were grown with bird droppings from Big Bird Village. Of course, there was also a blue liquid, which was also made by Lord Sun.
I heard the price is too expensive, so I can’t keep doing it.
Wang Jiaxing's curiosity had already shown up on his face, but he had been holding back from asking.
I saw Lord Sun going out of the city again today. He must be busy with the bird droppings issue.
So, he couldn't bear it any longer, so he waited in the backyard, waiting for Sun Shan to come back and stop him.
Of course, the deeper reason for choosing to ask today is that I will be released from prison in a few days and can finally go home.
Lord Sun said that he had been studying in the yamen for a while and it was time for him to go home to recuperate. He packed his luggage, completed the formalities, and prepared to go to Chenzhou Prefecture to take part in the entrance examination.
Wang Jiaxing felt that if he didn't ask now, he would never have another chance to ask.
It's all bitter tears. I always wanted to pass on the message, but I couldn't.
At first, I secretly looked for my uncle’s informant in the government office, but what was the result?
He was being watched closely and was taken back to study before he even saw the back gate.
Then I wanted to pretend to write a letter home to pass on the message.
In order to convey the message, Wang Jiaxing thought hard and wrote a "hidden letter".
But Mr. Sun's servant Guiger said directly: Don't write the letter. Just tell him directly if you have any needs and he will pass on the needs.
Before Wang Jiaxing could say that some things could not be delivered and could only be delivered through letters.
Gui Ge'er said again: If you are worried that my message is not accurate, then ask your father and mother to come over.
As a result, when my father came over, he could only call me from a distance.
It became a stone for waiting for sons and a stone for waiting for fathers, with no chance of conveying any message at all.
What’s even more infuriating is that his father scolded him and told him to stop messing around and focus on his studies.
Thanks to Lord Sun for taking a liking to him, he was given one-on-one tutoring. Not only were the students in the county school jealous of this opportunity, but even Instructor Deng was secretly envious.
Teacher Deng also went to Wang's house in person and asked Wang's father to urge Wang Jiaxing to study hard.
For a student, it is a great honor to be personally taught by a scholar who has passed the imperial examinations twice.
Regardless of whether Wang Jiaxing could pass the imperial examination and become a juren or jinshi, at least he would become a scholar.
When the king's father heard this, he was overjoyed.
Look, when he saw his son calling him to "visit the prison", he actually said some nonsense, which was really infuriating.
Wang Jiaxing's father criticized him harshly: "You have to stay in the government office and study hard. If you don't understand something, ask Lord Sun. It's not easy to have such a good teacher. You must have burned incense in your previous life. If you do something that Lord Sun doesn't like and is sent back home, I will beat you to death!"
After cursing, he walked away without listening to Wang Jiaxing's explanation.
Wang Jiaxing felt very miserable. He had studied hard in the government office and had also sought advice from Lord Sun.
It's just that he is a dedicated undercover agent who tries every possible way to pass on the message.
The result was a scolding from my father, and I couldn't help but shed tears.
Wang Jiaxing also wanted to find County Magistrate Wang, but it was even more difficult to find him.
It was equally difficult for County Magistrate Wang to find Wang Jiaxing.
They were all rejected one by one with Sun Shan's reasoning that "Wang Jiaxing needs to prepare for the college entrance examination."
Wang Jiaxing felt as bitter as if he had eaten bitter gourd.
Just two days ago, Sun Shan suddenly informed Wang Jiaxing that he could go home in two days, and Wang Jiaxing was so happy that he jumped for joy.
So, I have to get the information back and ask Sun Shan about the bird droppings truthfully.
Seeing Wang Jiaxing asking so openly, Sun Shan also answered openly: "These things are not about studying, you don't need to understand them."
After a pause, he added: "You will know in the future. As I said before, don't think about anything else and just prepare for the entrance examination."
Wang Jiaxing: ......
Deep in despair.
I also asked Nanny Wang and Big Head Dog, as well as the Sun family guards, but their mouths were as tight as if they were sewn shut, and I couldn't get any information out of them.
I will be going back in a few days and I don't have any information, so it will be difficult to report back.
Especially his eldest uncle, who was so good to him. He always encouraged him to study hard, sent him to the county school when he was young, and also took care of his grandparents' business.
In order to return the favor, Wang Jiaxing considered himself a man of conscience, so he would definitely act as his uncle's spy and find out more useful information.
It’s just that Lord Sun’s backyard was too well guarded, and Lord Sun was even more cunning, so it was impossible to get any information out of him.
At present, we only know that guano can be used for fertilizer, but we have no idea how to make it or what plans Lord Sun has for it.
Alas, he is such a failure as a spy.
Sun Shan had been busy all day and his stomach was growling with hunger. He was not like Wang Jiaxing who had a lot of free time, and spent his days reading and enjoying himself.
He waved his hand and said, "We will have another college entrance examination simulation for you the day after tomorrow. After the exam, you can go home."
When Wang Jiaxing heard the words “college exam simulation”, his face turned pale.
The so-called simulation is to build a shed next to the toilet and let him do the test questions next to the toilet.
And the simulation was exactly the same as the college entrance examination, and he was kept in prison for three full days before being released.
Having to eat coarse food in there was bad enough, the most difficult thing was having to do homework, eat, and sleep next to the toilet. It was a life worse than death.
