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

Mr. Wang scolded Wang Jijun harshly, and the anger in his heart dissipated a little.

If Old Master Wang hadn't been there, he might have beaten him up.

Even if my legs are lame, I still have to fight, otherwise I will feel very upset.

Only when Wang Jijun saw that his father had finally breathed a sigh of relief did he dare to stick his head out and look at Old Master Wang with grievance.

Old Master Wang also felt sorry for his little grandson and quickly said, "Okay, stop scolding. Our Jun Yazi is still young and doesn't understand things. When he grows up, he will naturally think about it."

Mr. Wang couldn't help but roll his eyes. "Still young? He's old enough to get married and have children, yet he has the audacity to say he's still young."

If it weren’t for his own father, Mr. Wang would definitely have scolded him.

Old Master Wang pretended not to notice his son's contempt and said to Wang Jijun, "Jun Yazi, get well soon, then go to school and continue your studies. Master Sun says you have a clever mind, but you're just not using it for your studies."

As long as you are patient and study hard, you will definitely pass the imperial examination. Although your eldest brother has passed the imperial examination, it is not enough for him to succeed alone. The children of the Wang family should study hard and strive for more people to pass the imperial examination."

Wang Jijun felt bitter. He didn't know what kind of magic potion Lord Sun had given his grandfather and father to always force him to study.

But I am not good at studying at all. I can only recognize the words in the book, but he doesn’t know all the words yet?

Having the eldest brother in the family is enough. If that is not enough, a member of the Wang family can be selected from the clan to take over.

As for himself, he was not a good student at all, but Wang Jijun was very self-aware.

Wang Jijun suppressed his bitterness in his heart and dared not speak it out, otherwise he would be beaten again.

Especially my father, he seems to have entered menopause, his temper is getting more and more violent, and he likes to hit people more and more.

Wang Jijun regretted returning to Yuanlu and why he didn't live a good life in Chenzhou Prefecture.

My aunt likes him very much and treats him well with good food and drink.

Old Master Wang saw Wang Jijun hanging his head with a gloomy expression, as if he was saying, "I know I'm wrong."

He said with relief, "Jun Yazi is a good boy. He knows how to correct his mistakes. Once his leg heals, he will go to school. We have already made an agreement with the instructor at the county school. As long as you study hard, we will not pursue the past. Instructor Deng is a good instructor. He also said that there should be no discrimination in education. Anyway, since you know you were wrong, Instructor Deng will accept you."

Of course, Teacher Deng’s so-called acceptance required him to bring a generous gift.

Otherwise, who would accept a playboy like Wang Jijun who is uneducated and unskilled?

Wang Jijun looked at his grandfather's expectant eyes, then at his father's murderous eyes, and had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Grandpa, I, I know I was wrong. When my injury heals, I, I will go back to school."

When Mr. Wang heard his rebellious son say this, he felt that he was no longer a rebellious son, but still his good son.

His expression relaxed slightly as he said, "It's good that you admit your mistake. The doctor said that you'll be able to get out of bed in ten days or so. You can also go back to school. Make up for the missed lessons these days. When you return to the county school, study hard."

Wang Jijun's heart felt icy cold, as if he had fallen into the eighteenth level of the abyss.

His leg is clearly not healed, so why does the doctor say he can get out of bed?

Wang Jijun would rather lie in bed at home than go to the county school.

It must be so painful for a poor student like him to go to school. Why don’t his family members understand at all?

Wang Jijun was so sad and worried that he wanted to run to Chenzhou Prefecture.

Mr. Wang took out a piece of silver from his pocket, handed it to Wang Jijun and said, "This is the compensation for your injury. Father doesn't want it either. Take it."

Wang Jijun took the silver, puzzled, and asked curiously, "Dad, is this compensation for me? Who gave it to me?"

Mr. Wang shook his head and said, "Besides Lord Sun, who else?"

So the death compensation and injury compensation were discussed.

He sighed and said, "I never thought that Lord Sun would be so kind and righteous. He actually shared all the rewards he received. Oh, this Lord Sun is really different."

Although the common people did not know about the "compensation", how could the Wang family, who had officials as their family members, not know about it?

County Magistrate Wang calculated that he had spent almost all the bonuses and stolen goods he had received.

Only a tiny amount was left in Sun Shan's hands.

Moreover, this one cent of Niu Niu was put into the treasury of the government office and did not really belong to Sun Shan.

County Magistrate Wang clearly discovered that Sun Shan was greedy for money, but he still gave the reward to him. This is completely different from his image as a money-grubber.

Even though most of the rewards this time were taken by the Sun family, they were distributed and did not remain in Sun Shan's hands at all.

County Magistrate Wang was increasingly unable to understand Sun Shan, so he became more cautious in his actions.

Sun Shan said at the beginning, "Do things according to the law, everything remains the same." Was he telling them that as long as they didn't break the law, they could do whatever they wanted and Sun Shan wouldn't care?

From this reward, County Magistrate Wang probably realized that Sun Shan was doing things very according to the rules.

It is reasonable and legal to confiscate the rewards first and then distribute them.

Is this what is called doing things according to the law, with everyone following the rules?

County Magistrate Wang couldn't understand Sun Shan, so he asked Old Master Wang to control the Wang family members and make sure they didn't become the first targets of Sun Shan's "killing the chicken to scare the monkey".

In short, the young men in the family should keep a low profile. This Lord Sun is completely different from the county magistrate you think he is. He does things unconventionally.

Wang Jijun looked at the silver in surprise and said, "Grandpa, Dad, these three taels of silver are the compensation given by Lord Sun for my medical expenses? Isn't it too little?"

I have to lie in bed for as long as I can after coming back, and I have to see a doctor from time to time. The medical expenses are quite high.

Only 3 taels of silver as compensation, isn't Lord Sun too stingy?

Although Wang Jijun had never thought about compensation, when he actually received it, he felt it was too little.

Mr. Wang was angered by his rebellious son's words.

Judging from his expression, I really thought he would have to pay 18,000 taels in compensation.

Mr. Wang said angrily, "The compensation for a dead person is only five taels. You, a living person, have given three of them. It's already considered righteous of you, Mr. Sun."

If the rebellious son had not come back alone on his own initiative, there wouldn't have been so many casualties among the servants in the house.

The Wang family has already spent a lot of money just to deal with this matter.

Thinking of the heavy bleeding caused by his rebellious son, Mr. Wang's fists started itching again, and he wished he could punch this rebellious son to death.

Old Master Wang also felt that his grandson was overthinking things and warned him, "Lord Sun has been very kind and righteous. He even compensated the dead and injured. In the past, people would have died if they had. What would it matter if they encountered bandits and closed the government office?"

After a pause, he added, "Also, don't talk nonsense. If you think it's enough, Lord Sun might scold you if he hears you."

Thinking of Sun Shan's "venomous" triangle eyes, Wang Jijun couldn't help but shudder.

He nodded tremblingly and agreed: "Grandpa, I don't mind it being too little."

Whenever I recall the time when Sun Shan raised a stone and smashed it hard, smashing the bandit's head until it bled and splattered everywhere, and he died instantly, looking like a demon crawling out of hell.

Wang Jijun couldn't help but feel scared.

I was really afraid that if I offended Lord Sun, he would throw stones at me.

The world is so beautiful, Wang Jijun wants to live longer.
