Bachelor

Chapter 79

"Oh, so it's brother Sun Dan and Sun Nian." Shi Qingnian's name is a bit strange. It is estimated that when his parents named him, it meant eternal youth.However, I'm afraid that he will be in his seventies and eighties in the future, and he will still be called Young Brother.

As the name suggests, Shi Qingnian tries his best to show off his ability in dealing with people.As soon as he saw Sun Dan, this guy was so excited that he couldn't hold on to himself. He was only one step away from bowing his head. He pushed Sun Yue away, rushed in front of Sun Dan excitedly, grabbed Sun Dan's hand and couldn't hold back. Shaking: "I have long admired Brother Sun's name, and your five-character quatrains are absolutely perfect. The slight wind and waves make the lake full of stars, wonderful, wonderful!"

Sun Dan felt a little embarrassed by his compliment, and hurriedly freed his hand from his clutches, and said modestly: "The work of games can't be regarded as real. For scholars in my generation, moral articles are the right way."

"Wonderful, brother Sun Nian's high opinion, I have a lot of sympathy for me!" Shi Qingjie sighed: "You really got the point, I wait for scholars, let you be talented, let you have beauty, After all, we still have to rely on Shiwen to get fame. In this day and age, even if Li Taibai comes here, he doesn’t know stereotypes, but he is just an old boy. Brother, I was a little flustered when I went to the examination room, but I sat inside. In a fit of anger, my heart calmed down, and naturally the pen has its own divine help. However, the rules and standards for the selection of scholars by Xuezheng adults are difficult to ponder. No matter how good your article is, if it does not meet Xuezheng's taste, it will be brushed down. Brother, I am also worried. I want to come over and ask for advice."

Sun Dan heard him gossip about this big deal, and was in a hurry to go home, feeling a little impatient in his heart, but on the surface he still pretended to be modest: "Don't dare, please ask Brother Shi Nian for advice."

"Okay, I'll recite the exam question "Know Your Place Every Day" I made today, and I want to ask Brother Sun Nian, whether this article can be a high school undergraduate scholar." After finishing speaking, he ignored other things. The reaction of the person, with a wave of the hand, a servant brought over a stool.

Shi Qingnian stood on the stool, straightened his throat, and began to recite the article he had written.

This recitation didn't matter, it caused a commotion in the small square, someone shouted: "Go and see, the young genius of the Sun family is memorizing the essay!"

This time the commotion was even louder, and more people squeezed in, causing a group of Sun family students to sway here and there, and they were about to be scattered.

Sun Yue was ignored by Shi Qingnian before, and then he was pushed roughly again. He was very annoyed in his heart. Seeing him memorizing the essay again, he felt even more disdainful, and snorted: "Sweet ding, rotten Confucianism, really like attracts like, and people flock together." Sun Dan is only worthy of making friends with this kind of person."

"Brother Yue, brother Yue, there are too many people, let's go home." Sun Gui, with the hat off his head, rushed over and flattered Sun Yue.

"Okay, let's go home." Seeing this situation, Sun Yue was also frightened, and hurriedly led a group of schoolchildren, thinking under the protection of his family, got into the carriage in a hurry, and did not call Sun Dan and Sun Hao.

"Okay, good article!" There was a round of applause.

"Sun Xiaocai has done a good job!"

"Wrong, wrong, just now I heard that this person is Shi Qingnian of the historian."

"Biao, I see it for real. This person is Sun Dan and Sun Xiaocai."

"Okay!" There was another burst of shouting.

In fact, the onlookers didn't understand what Shi Qingnian was reciting, they just subconsciously yelled along with the others.

Seeing that the situation was out of control, Sun Dan hurriedly said to Sun Hao: "Brother Hao, quickly protect Sun Jia, let's go." This young man Shi has some skills and a good memory, and he even memorized the article he just wrote .However, this guy seems to have some brain problems, so we won't accompany him crazy.

"Okay." Sun Hao nodded, hurriedly greeted Sun Jia, and together with a few bookstore guys, surrounded Sun Dan and rushed out.

Behind him, Shi Qingnian had just finished reciting the article. He cupped his hands together and shouted, "Show your ugliness, show your ugliness... Hey, brother Sun Nian, how did you get away? Do you think brother can win this article?"

"If you can win, of course you can win." Sun Dan hurriedly shouted: "Brother Nian wrote well!"

"You're welcome, you're welcome." Shi Qingnian was so happy that his entire face burst into laughter.

"Sun Xiaocai, what a great article!" Some audience members who didn't know the truth shouted.

"No, no, I'm not Sun Dan." Shi Qingnian came to his senses at this moment, waved his hands again and again, pointed at Sun Dan's back and said, "That's the young genius Sun."

"Grass, you are not a talented grandson, why didn't you say it earlier, why are you making such a fuss?"

Shi Qingnian blushed after everyone scolded him, "I'm not asking Brother Sun Nian for advice?"

"Hurry up, Little Talent Sun is leaving."

With a roar, everyone followed.

Sun Dan and the others looked pale and walked faster, and finally got into an alley before the crowd caught up and got rid of them.

"I forgot to ask you how you did in the exam this time, did you pass?" Sun Jia asked hurriedly.

Sun Dan: "Actually, you didn't ask the right question. You should ask me if I can take the case chief examination."

Sun Jia covered her mouth and laughed, and cast a slanted look at Sun Dan, "I've never seen anyone as mad as you."

There was an indescribable charm in this sideways glance, and Sun Dan felt his heart skip a beat, and suddenly thought: This little girl seems to have grown up and become a real woman.Girls in ancient times matured early, and they didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.

In any case, today's Academy of Sciences Examination is a grand festival for Jinan people in ordinary life. More than 2000 scholars and their family servants poured into Jinan, making this provincial capital city suddenly lively.These thousands of people eat, drink, and scatter, and consume a lot of money every day, which also makes Jinan people a lot of money.

Now that the exam is finally over, it is conceivable that the relieved examinees don't know what kind of carnival it will look like.

Some happy and some sad, doomed to sleepless tonight.

Sun Dan, Sun Hao, and Sun Jia walked slowly while talking, and when they returned to Sun's mansion, the lights were brightly lit, and there were busy servants coming and going.

Sun Dan has already decided to leave the Sun Mansion, and only waits for a list. After getting the fame, he takes Zhiniang to the capital to find Li Meiting. Dream.

As soon as the three of them entered the courtyard through the side door, they saw Mrs. Hong standing in the courtyard with a lotus.

Seeing them enter the door, Yuncai called out first: "Brother Hao, Brother Dan, Madam has been waiting here for an hour."

Madam Hong smiled: "You are back, how did you do in the exam?"

Sun Hao knelt down first, wanting to say something, but when the words came to his mouth, he let out a sob: "Master, son... son should be able to win this time." After speaking, two lines of tears came out: "If It’s not that brother Dan has been urging his son to study these days, even if his son enters the examination room, he is still a deaf ear—a display. The son is unfilial, lazy and foolish, and has caused my mother a lot of worry.”

Mrs. Hong didn't expect her son to say such heartfelt words, and there was a sparkle in his eyes.She pulled Sun Hao up, hugged her in her arms, and said softly: "It doesn't matter if you are in the middle or not. I don't value it. The key is that you have to be self-reliant and self-reliant. In this way, even if you die, you can feel at ease as a mother."

Seeing that their mother and child are deeply in love, Sun Dan couldn't bear to disturb her, so she smiled at Sun Jia and was about to leave.

At this moment, Mrs. Hong let go of Sun Hao, walked up to Sun Dan, and gave her a blessing; "Brother Dan, please accept my respect from the old man."

Sun Dan was shocked, and hurriedly replied: "Ma'am, this is killing the boy, please hurry up."

With tears in her eyes, Mrs. Hong said: "Sun Hao has played badly since he was a child, and he is an unconscious idiot. I am only such a child. Seeing this, I didn't expect him to be successful in the future. But he is so naughty, and he will not be able to do anything in the future. I don't know how many disasters will be caused. Fortunately, he has a friend like you who taught him the principles of life and doing things. The old man has seen and delighted in your words and deeds when you were studying in the study these days. Sun Hao has you so My friend, what else is there to worry about!"

Sun Dan also sighed in his heart. Thinking of his mother in the previous life, his throat was slightly sore, and he said: "People always have to grow up. Brother Hao is grown up and sensible now. Madam, don't worry."

"I hate it, why are you talking about me?" Sun Hao was very dissatisfied and roared, "Come here."

Yuncai was taken aback by Sun Hao's voice, "What orders does Brother Hao have?"

"Brother Hao is upset and wants to hit someone."

"Ah! Madam, help!" Ningcai hid behind Madam Hong in fright, trembling non-stop.

Mrs. Hong raised her eyebrows: "Sun Hao, what do you want to do?"

Sun Hao smiled: "Nothing to do, mother, I'm hungry, is there anything to eat?"

"Yes, of course. You, Brother Dan, and Jiajia all come into the house with me. I'll ask someone to do it for you." Mrs. Hong chuckled, with a kind face on her face: "Don't be afraid of water lilies, Sun Haoruo bullies you." , I’ll make the decision for you...Little thing, what are you doing here? If you don’t go to the kitchen to ask someone to cook food, just say that I asked them to make it for Brother Hao and Brother Dan.”

"Yes." Ningcai hopped and ran away.

The hospital examination is much stricter than the county examination and the government examination. All candidates' examination papers must be transcribed by a special person, and then the papers will be numbered after the names are pasted.The workload is huge, and it can't be done in three to five days.For this Shandong Academy Examination, Wang Yuanzheng specially brought twelve clerks from the capital to help.These 12 people are all experienced hands, and the speed of copying documents is extremely fast.

After copying the examination papers, it is time to review the papers and determine the rankings, which may take three to five days.

That is to say, it will take at least ten days from leaving the examination room to posting the list, and it may take half a month or even a month longer.

The whole Sun family moved to Jinan, nominally for a vacation, but actually for this period of the hospital examination.It is impossible for them to return to Zouping until the day when the list is released.

In other words, Sun Dan still has to stay in Jinan for ten days.

Now he has completely turned against Mrs. Liu and Aunt Jing of the second room, and has long wanted to leave the Sun family.However, the ancients attached great importance to the morality and character of the students.Right now, Sun Dan is still a nominal descendant of the Sun family's collateral line, if he leaves in such an unclear way, it will have a great impact on his reputation.Moreover, if he wants to go on a long journey, if he wants to get a guide, if the Sun family does not nod, it will be difficult for him to move forward.It seems that you can only talk about other things when you can go to other places to study abroad when you get the fame.

After Li Meiting left the Sun family, the Sun family school hired another old supervisor to be the tutor of the private school.However, if Sun Dan, Sun Yue, Sun Hao, and Sun Gui are selected as scholars, this gentleman has nothing to teach them.Everything is for Zhongju, everything is for the future Qiu Wei, and it is the right thing to ask a famous teacher to guide them.

Therefore, Sun Dan and other students who came to Jinan to take the college examination also stayed.

Mrs. Liu also wrote a letter about inviting famous teachers and sent it to Sun Henian in Beijing.

Soon, there will be a letter from the capital that Sun Henian will come to Jinan in person, one is to cooperate with Xiao Yang to clean up the taxes in Shandong last year, and the other is to look at the rankings to see how many members of the Sun family have been selected as scholars this time.

State affairs and family affairs are equally important in Sun Henian's mind.
