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

County Magistrate Wang was just about to 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 his recent travels with Sun Shan.

Before he could get close, Sun Dingnan came out and said, "County Magistrate Wang, Young Master Jiaxing is studying very hard and must not be disturbed at this time. In three days, our master will give Young Master Jiaxing a test paper based on the format of the academy examination so that he can familiarize himself with the process in advance."

After a pause, he continued, speaking with a guilty conscience, "Our master values ​​Young Master Jiaxing very highly. Based on his current condition, he has an 80% chance of passing the August entrance exam. The exam is only a few months away, and it's the most crucial time. We must not disturb him."

In fact, what Sun Dingnan said was right. August is not far away. It will take some time to get from Yuanlu County, which is deep in the mountains, to Chenzhou Prefecture. We must set off early.

In addition to the unfamiliar climate and weather conditions, it is best to set off early.

Sun Shan had arrived in 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 I let them see each other and talk to each other?

What on earth is Lord Sun up to?

Even if the college entrance examination is urgent, there is no need to rush it 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, "Hooker, 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 he showing it to an outsider?

Could it be that Lord Sun really thinks he has great potential, so he has the wisdom to recognize a hero and focuses on cultivating him?

Or maybe after he passes the college entrance examination, Master Sun will accept him as his disciple?

Thinking of this, Sun Jiaxing couldn't help but frowned.

Should I accept Master Sun as my teacher, or should I reject him?

Although Lord Sun is quite 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 Jinshi, so that your studies can reach a higher level.

I am so smart and have great potential, I will definitely be very popular, and becoming your disciple will be a piece of cake.

You shouldn't hang your neck on a tree like Master Sun. You should go to Chenzhou Prefecture to develop a broader space, or even go to Yuelu Academy to find a better 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 who was immersed in a sweet dream.

I looked up and out the window, and oh my, 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 did not follow 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 do too much thinking, you will consume your energy for learning.

Especially since 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 he should review his notes, do papers and write articles in the yamen these days.

When the college entrance examination comes, 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 did not dare to disobey.

After all, Sun Shan was successful, and people were convinced by 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 passed the exam 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 say 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, he will definitely be able to pass it on.

After Wang Jiaxing saw County Magistrate Wang, his excited heart was interrupted by Sun Dali's coughs and immediately calmed down.

He walked out calmly and bowed to County Magistrate Wang: "Uncle, it's been a long time since we last met. Please forgive me for my inattention, as 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 eldest nephew's eyes were twitching and he had no idea what he wanted to express.

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 hurt to wait a little longer."

Wang Jiaxing quickly said, "Uncle, I've been following Lord Sun these days and have learned a lot, but there's still a lot I don't understand, so I'm staying at the yamen so I can ask Lord Sun. Uncle, go back and tell Grandpa and Grandma that I'm doing fine here and that Lord Sun is taking special care of me."

After saying this, he winked at County Magistrate Wang, but only he understood the look in his eyes.

County Magistrate Wang:.......

What was his nephew doing? Why was he blinking at him? Was he being coerced into speaking?

They are local tyrants, so how could they be afraid of Sun Shan who just arrived?

It seems that my nephew wants to stay in the yamen, no, he should stay with Sun Shan.

What is this for? Is it really just to ask for knowledge?

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 I need, I will write home and ask my father and mother to send it to me! Uncle, don't worry..."

He deliberately glanced at County Magistrate Wang, 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 some compelling 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 didn't 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 couldn't 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 composed entirely of men.

It is said that Lord Sun has already married and had children, so even if he does not bring his wife, he can bring his concubine.

The result? I'm afraid that now all the mosquitoes in the county government's inner courtyard 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 happy mood.
