The Daily Life of a Rich Peasant's Boy in the Imperial Examination

After lunch, Sun Shan immediately packed his luggage.

Of course, the most important thing was to take a few sacks of bird droppings and hurriedly say goodbye to the village chief.

The village chief said reluctantly, "Master Sun, you must return to Big Bird Village. My family cooks delicious food. I hope you can come to my house for dinner again."

The village chief was reluctant to see such a "money bag" go away.

If you could stay a few more days, our family could earn more.

Sun Shan still kept his usual smile and nodded: "Village Chief, we will come back to see you again."

The village chief didn't believe it. This was a place where birds only pooped, and people only went out but never came in. He didn't believe that the noble man would come back.

Especially that delicate boy Wang, who was disgusted with this place. If he hadn't needed to serve Mr. Sun, he would have run away overnight.

When Wang Xiaozi learned that he was leaving, he changed his usual sad face and became sunny and cheerful.

How eager they are to leave. How much they despise Big Bird Village!

Wang Jiaxing watched Sun Shan and the village chief slowly express their love, and then bid farewell to the guards, as if they knew each other very well.

He couldn't help but roll his eyes: Lord Sun, can you please hurry up? If you continue like this, there's no need to leave. The sun is almost setting. We'd better stay in Da Niao Village for the night.

The little boy selling sand geese tugged tightly at Sun Shan's sleeve and said reluctantly, "Master, you must come back. I'll catch a sand goose and sell it to you!"

Sun Shan: ...

The reason why I am so reluctant to let him go is simply because he is a rich sponsor.

Sun Shan patted Xiao Yazi's head and said gently, "Good Yazi, don't go too far to the back mountain. It's dangerous. The family depends on you now. You must take good care of yourself, okay?"

Xiao Yazi is a miserable child. His grandfather is old and his father is about to pass away. Xiao Yazi is the pillar of the family.

Sun Shan quietly gave Xiao Yazi two taels of silver and told him not to take it out unless necessary, not even for his father's funeral.

When a person dies, the light goes out. It is the living who are important.

Sun Shan knew Xiao Yazi for a while and hoped that he would have a peaceful and happy life.

But giving them money can only help temporarily, allowing the family to overcome the difficulties temporarily.

Once the effect of bird droppings is confirmed, Big Bird Village will be the first to benefit, and Xiao Yazi will also have a way out.

Xiao Yazi nodded seriously, and said with red eyes: "Master, you must come back. I will wait for you in Big Bird Village."

The little Yazi's tears fell drop by drop, causing the other Yazi to cry as well.

San Yazi burst into tears and shouted, "Master, you must come back to Da Niao Village to see me and take me to the back mountain. I still want to earn 20 coins."

When these words were spoken, everyone laughed.

Sun Shan looked at the lively and cute Sanyazi speechlessly.

It turns out that there is no real love after just a few days of being together. If there is, it is all maintained by "copper coins".

Sun Shan got in the car without saying a word, waved his hand, and left Da Niao Village in a hurry.

When they got onto the official road, Wang Jiaxing breathed a sigh of relief.

Emma, ​​I’m finally back. I finally don’t have to visit other villages anymore. I finally don’t have to eat or sleep poorly, and my butt hurts from sitting.

Wang Jiaxing looked at the weather outside and it was sunny.

I am in a good mood today, and the scenery is beautiful everywhere, so I can't help humming a little tune.

Seeing his expression, Sun Shan couldn't help but laugh: "Wang Tongsheng, are you in a good mood today?"

When Sun Shan asked this, Wang Jiaxing immediately sat up straight, raised his head and straightened his back.

I answered cautiously, "Master, I've been away from home for several days and I miss them terribly. Now, on my way home, thinking of reuniting with my family soon, I lost my composure. I beg for your forgiveness."

Although what he said made sense, it was actually nonsense.

Who doesn’t know what Wang Jiaxing is thinking?

Sun Shan closed his eyes, then opened them again and said calmly, "You haven't asked me for advice these past few days. Have you forgotten to study?"

Wang Jiaxing secretly rolled his eyes several times.

Emma, ​​people are not made of iron. I have been busy climbing up and down the mountains these days. My legs and feet have never stopped. I am so tired that I don’t have the energy to study.

However, Wang Jiaxing certainly wouldn't dare to roll his eyes at Lord Sun.

He could only say sadly, "Master, it's my fault. I was so tired that I forgot to study. Master, you asked a good question. If it weren't for your reminder, I would have forgotten that I was a scholar. Master, I will definitely change my ways. From this moment on, I will study hard and work hard for the college entrance examination in August."

After saying that, he pretended to pick up the book and started reading.

Sun Shan ignored Wang Jiaxing's counter-argument and nodded, saying, "Good students, this is how you should study. Only with perseverance can you succeed. I'm optimistic about you in the college entrance examination. I believe that with hard work, you have a good chance of passing."

Wang Jiaxing was delighted and looked at Sun Shan with satisfaction.

Haha, Lord Sun has good vision. He knows that he is a smart and talented person with great potential.

Not bad, not bad. No wonder he was able to pass all the tests and get his name on the list of successful candidates. His judgment of people is really accurate.

Especially if you look at yourself, it will be even more accurate.

Sun Shan gave a faint, devilish smile and said no more.

After two days and two nights of travel, Sun Shan and his group finally entered the city in time when the city gate was closed.

In fact, even if it was not timely, the soldiers guarding the city would not dare to refuse to let them go.

Now that they had not broken the rules within the specified time, Sun Shan and the soldier were even happier.

As soon as he returned to the yamen, the lame lawyer Zhang hurried over and saw Sun Shan.

The first sentence was: "Master, someone has been sent over from Chenzhou Prefecture."

Sun Shan was stunned for a moment, then he understood what was going on. It must be about the bandits.

Then he asked, "How many days have you been here? Are you treating me well?"

Chenzhou Prefecture is Sun Shan’s superior department. It would be unreasonable not to treat him well when he comes here.

Oh, I have to spend money again, it hurts so much.

The government office only had 500 taels in stock. If one tael was spent here, it would mean one tael less there.

Ability is conserved, and so is the money in the government office.

It’s all these bandits’ fault. They caused him trouble and cost him money!

Mr. Wang whispered, "The man who came the other day kept asking when the master would be back. I told him he was out inspecting the spring plowing, and it would take at least three days, and at most four or five. He wouldn't be back that early."

It happened to be spring plowing season, so Sun Shan’s reason for inspection was very legitimate.

Agriculture is the foundation of everything, and every local official must pay attention to farming conditions.

It makes sense to go on patrol.

Sun Shan set out early, and Master Zhang estimated how many days it would take for him to return.

He just didn't expect Sun Shan to come back earlier than he expected.

Sun Shan asked, "What did the envoys from Chenzhou say? Aren't they rushing back?"

Master Zhang was sure that everyone around him was his own people, so he said, "They rushed back, but they wanted to see you. I had no choice but to send someone to look for you."

Master Zhang had no idea where Sun Shan had gone.

If we send people to look for him, they will just search randomly and there is nothing we can do if we can't find him.

Fortunately, Sun Shan came back in time.
