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

Wang Jiaxing was dumbfounded. How could he do the test paper?

Is this a test paper? It looks like an exam.

What does Lord Sun mean by this? Why are you so harsh?

I just studied beside him for a while, why did I have to take the exam now?

In the past, at most, we would just be asked to write an essay, so why would there be such a formal exam?

Sun Shan still ignored Wang Jiaxing's surprise and said calmly, "Go down and have a good rest. Get up early tomorrow morning and study hard. Especially the questions you have asked me these days, you must slowly and carefully recall and think clearly about the points I have made.

Three days later, I will give you a test paper based on the college entrance examination format, so that you can experience the atmosphere of the college entrance examination in advance and also have you practice the same test paper in advance."

Then he continued, "As for the county school and your family, I will arrange for someone to notify them tomorrow. You should just focus on studying at the government office and don't worry about anything else."

He waved his hand and asked Sun Dali and Sun Dingnan to carry Wang Jiaxing away.

Keep it well locked up, no, I should say take good care of it.

Sun Dingnan and Sun Dali immediately picked up Wang Jiaxing and quickly moved him to the inner courtyard.

The inner courtyard of Yuanlu County Magistrate is composed entirely of men, except for two middle-aged women, Xia and Nanny Wang.

Therefore, there is no difficulty in accommodating foreign men, and there is no situation where "the courtyard is so deep and deep".

Put Wang Jiaxing in the inner courtyard, and he will definitely not cause gossip.

Sun Dali carried Wang Jiaxing and said, "Wang Tongsheng, you're so lucky to have received special care from our master. This is something many scholars dream of. You're so happy, and I envy you. If the master could teach my few bone-transforming dragons, I would be willing to die."

Sun Dali's several bone-changing dragons are just like Sun Dali. They eat a lot and are very strong, but they cannot be forced to study.

It seemed that none of these boys had any genes for studying. They were laughing and making noise all day long. They were either climbing up trees to pick birds and roasting them for food, or going down to the river to catch fish and cook them for food, or they were complaining that they were hungry.

Eat, eat, eat, nothing but eating.

This made Sun Dali feel both love and hate when he saw the bone-changing dragons, and finally turned it into motivation to beat them with a carrying pole.

It is so disgusting that I have to hate it more than I love it.

When Sun Dali followed Sun Shan to Yuanlu, the ones who were most happy about it were the several bone-transforming dragons in his family.

Now that their father is gone, their good days have come.

Sun Dingnan also said with an expression of "Why are you so ignorant?" "Yes, Wang Tongsheng, you are so lucky to have received personal guidance from our master, and now he is even giving you a test paper.

Wang Tongsheng, our master is a rare genius in our Sunjia Village that only appears once in a century. He passed the imperial examination at a young age and became a Jinshi, a degree that many scholars would never be able to pass in their entire lives.

Don't underestimate our master's young age, but he has a wealth of experience in education. He studied at the most famous Yuelu Academy and the famous Chongzheng Academy in Jinling, both of which are top-notch academies. He learned a lot there.

If possible, Sun Dingnan would also say that their master had a close relationship with Duke Xu and knew many powerful officials.

However, Sun Shan once said that one should keep a low profile and not tell anyone about the capable people he knew in the past, lest he be remembered by others.

Sun Shan's main goal was to be a good official and to work for the well-being of the people.

Wang Jiaxing rolled his eyes. Needless to say, he knew that Lord Sun was very knowledgeable and he would definitely learn a lot by following him.

But he has been out for so long, shouldn’t he go back and report that he is safe?

Of course, the most important thing is to act as an informant and tell uncle everything here.

Now that Lord Sun has him locked up in the county government office, how can he tip off the enemy?

Wang Jiaxing pretended to be pitiful and said, "Brother Nan, Uncle Dali, I have been away from home for many days. My grandparents must miss me very much. Similarly, I miss them too. Now that I am back, as a son and a grandson, I must go back. It is extremely unfilial to live at home even though it is at the doorstep. I cannot be an unfilial son. I am a good son."

Sun Dali said nonchalantly, "Don't worry, Wang Tongsheng. Our master will definitely send someone to inform your family that you are safe. I believe your family will also be happy to send you to the yamen for a one-on-one lecture from our master. You must cherish this rare opportunity. It will never come again."

It is impossible to let Wang Tongsheng go. It may be possible in this life, but it is impossible at the moment.

Sun Shan has already given orders, asking them to keep a close eye on Wang Jiaxing for the next few days and not let him have contact with outsiders to prevent them from tipping off.

Sun Dali didn't understand how Wang Jiaxing would tip off the boss, but he did whatever his master said.

How could they understand what the master says? If they understood, they would be the master!

Sun Dingnan comforted him, saying, "It's rare for you to be able to see your family often, but it's rare for you to stay with our master and study. Our master said that Wang Tongsheng, you have great potential, and it seems that you have a 50-50 chance of passing the college entrance examination in August."

However, after our master's careful teaching, there is an 80% chance of making the list. Wang Tongsheng, although there is only one exam difference between a Tongsheng and a Xiucai, the difference is huge.

"Tongsheng is still a commoner, and Xiucai no longer has to try to become a commoner. Wang Tongsheng, you must cherish the days you stay with our master, because you will have no chance to stay in the future."

Wang Jiaxing panicked and asked anxiously, "Lord Sun just said I was extremely intelligent, so why did he say my chances of passing the entrance exam were 50-50?"

Wang Jiaxing was full of confidence in this college examination, and he believed that he could come out on top and become the first in the college.

That’s right, he, Wang Jiaxing is so confident!

Even though he ranked in the middle in this provincial examination, Wang Jiaxing only thought that he had done poorly and did not think that his knowledge was limited.

Sun Dali rolled his eyes and said, "Wang Tongsheng, when our master said you were smart, he meant you had the potential to study, not that you could pass the college entrance examination just because you were smart.

There are many smart people in this world, but can all smart people become scholars? Our master is so smart, but he still got a third-class Jinshi. Just think about how smart those who got second-class and first-class Jinshi must be!

In order to persuade Wang Jiaxing to stay in the yamen, Sun Dali decided to go against his conscience and say that Sun Shan was worse than others.

I will have to personally find Sun Shan to apologize later, because in the eyes of Sun Dali, no, in the eyes of Sunjia Village, Sun Shan is the smartest man in the world.

I came last in the exam this time, all because of bad luck in drawing a bad number, and also because of the aftereffects of puffer fish poisoning that delayed me.

After Sun Dali said this, Wang Jiaxing was speechless.

There are so many smart people, and Wang Jiaxing is one of them.

If a bunch of smart people take the test together, they might still fail.

The more Wang Jiaxing thought about it, the more anxious and worried he became.

Sun Dingnan said comfortingly, "Don't be afraid. With our master's guidance, I guarantee you'll make the list. Even if you don't believe in yourself, you must believe in our master!"
