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

Who would have thought that two days later, word started to spread that Lord Sun liked strong women.

Although it is true, it cannot be spread out like this.

How can people make noise about such a private matter?

What's more, Lord Sun is a scholar. Nowadays, scholars like graceful ladies and slender beauties. If Lord Sun's secret is known by his colleagues, wouldn't he be laughed at?

The gossip about Lord Sun is just about Lord Sun, but how did it spread to Madam Sun and Miss Sun?

These two are still in the mountains of their hometown. No one has ever seen them. Who knows whether they are short or fat?

Although based on the aesthetic taste of Lord Sun, as well as that of Old Madam Sun and Old Master Sun, it might be possible to find a chubby and strong wife for Lord Sun.

Maybe Miss Sun is fat and big-eared because she was born to a strong woman.

But these true rumors cannot be spread, and they cannot be used as entertainment for people after dinner.

Especially Miss Sun, it will be difficult for you to find a blind date in the future after hearing this.

Lord Sun and Madam Sun are already married. No matter how much you say, they would have been tied up to death long ago.

But Miss Sun is different. She is still unmarried and it will be difficult for her to get married when she grows up.

The more the three wealthy businessmen thought about it, the more frightened they became. Even if these rumors did not come from their mouths, they were caused by the four maids, and they were not free from the responsibility.

Rich businessman A said with a lucky mentality: "We didn't say that. Even if Lord Sun wants to investigate, it shouldn't be our business."

It was indeed not them who said those words, and they were quite true. Rich Businessman A felt that it was not their problem.

As for who said it, no one knows, but it wasn’t them anyway.

Rich businessman B said worriedly, "You really didn't tell anyone? I'm sure I didn't tell anyone myself. Could it be that one of your servants spread the news?"

It was even spread by four maids.

The more Rich Businessman B thought about it, the more guilty he felt. He thought it must have been spread by his family, because he had said something to the tigress at home before going to bed, and the tigress at home was a gossipy person, so she might have spread the news right away.

Thinking of this, Rich Businessman B turned pale, but he refused to admit it and pushed the responsibility onto the other two accomplices, trying to shirk his guilt.

Rich Merchant C immediately jumped to his feet and refuted righteously, "How could I say that? I'm so busy trying to please Lord Sun, how could I spread such words? I think you two accidentally spread it."

Emma, ​​I feel so guilty, what should I do?

Maybe it's a family tradition, or even something he said himself. Because a few days ago, when I was being affectionate with my concubine and chatting about my feelings, I actually mentioned Mr. Sun's special habit.

The concubine was giggling and waving her arms and legs at the time, and if she turned her head around, she might have thought it was a joke and spread it around.

The rich businessman C became more and more afraid the more he thought about it. What if Lord Sun found out about him and spread the news? How would he survive in Yuanlu County in the future?

Although he had lived in Yuanlu County for generations and had many relatives and friends in the government office, Lord Sun was still a local official. He might not be able to deal with a group of natives, but it would be easy to deal with him. He could kill him with just one finger.

I was at fault in this matter, and I have no choice but to accept the blame if I am forced to do so. My competitors may even intervene and take advantage of the situation.

What's more, although Lord Sun is young, he is actually a ruthless person.

Look at the Wang family's Xiao Si. Whenever he mentions Lord Sun, his whole body trembles.

When Lord Sun personally went into battle to kill the bandits, the scene must have been terrifying and cruel.

Otherwise, Wang Xiaosi, who is fearless, would immediately hide away when he sees County Magistrate Sun.

Rich businessman A, rich businessman B, and rich businessman C had a heart-to-heart talk about shirking responsibility.

You said I spread it, I said he spread it, and he said you spread it. The three of them denied each other for a long time, but could not get around the fact that the source of the incident was that they sent the maid away.

The three wealthy businessmen seriously suspected that it was the four maids who spread the news. Even if they did, they were still their people.

Rich businessman A gnashed his teeth and said, "You cheap bastards, I'll sell you to xxx!"

I can't blame myself, I can only blame others. The four maids are the outlet for my anger.

Of course, wealthy businessmen do business based on the principle of profit, so if they want to sell something, they will definitely sell it at a high price.

He bought them at a high price and brought them back as gifts to the high-ranking official, intending to use this relationship to infiltrate the high-ranking official's inner circle.

As a result, they got into such a big mess, and after this matter is over, they won't be taught a lesson.

He is not a cold-blooded, profit-seeking businessman.

Rich businessman B thought that if Magistrate Sun didn't want it, he would keep it for himself.

After this happened, they must be driven away.

He frowned and said, "Selling them is a matter for the future. What should we do now? What if Lord Sun blames us?"

Rich businessman B is very sure that the source lies with the three of them. Even if 1% is not theirs, Lord Sun will believe it is them.

They were the ones who sent the maid, and the rumors spread after they dismissed the maid.

There is no need to check at all, it is 99% certain that it is their fault.

Officials don't need evidence to target someone. If you offend Lord Sun, you'll have a hard time staying in Yuanlu County.

This Lord Sun has only been in Yuanlu for a short time, so even if he is transferred, it will take three years.

What if he still hasn’t left after three years, and then another three years later?

There are only a few three years left in a lifetime, and they don’t want to be ruined by Magistrate Sun.

What else can I do?

Rich Merchant C gritted his teeth and said with a wry smile, "We're here to apologize. Isn't there a saying? Confess and receive leniency, resist and receive severity. We'll be humble, fawning, and humbly apologize to Lord Sun. I believe he'll be so magnanimous as to forgive us, right?"

As he said this, Rich Businessman C spoke more and more quietly.

At present, it does not seem that Lord Sun is broad-minded, nor does it seem that he is petty.

When Lord Sun first arrived, the people of Yuanlu were indeed very excited, but after more than half a year, his performance has been mediocre, which is completely different from the beginning.

Those of them who were on the front lines of the event were extremely disappointed.

Of course, Lord Sun's inaction is also a kind of achievement for them.

At least Lord Sun doesn't extort money or enrich himself.

I heard from the government that wages are now paid on time and never in arrears. After the tax is collected, it is not put into private pockets but directly into the county treasury.

According to this practice, Mr. Sun is not only a corrupt official, but also an "official who disturbs the people."

So the three wealthy businessmen discussed it over, took some generous gifts, and went to the government office to apologize.

Sun Shan looked at Rich Businessman A, Rich Businessman B, and Rich Businessman C with his eyes wide open.

Listening to them talking about random things, I have already complained about them a thousand times in my heart.

Damn it! I can’t believe they were the ones who spread it.

Why would you send him a maidservant? Send him a few ingots of gold and he'll be happy.

Rich Businessman A felt that any further explanation would be just quibbling.

So, he tried to gain sympathy, repeatedly shouting, "Sir, I really don't know what will happen. These maids were sent back by you, and they are resentful and spreading rumors everywhere. Sir, it is all my fault. I didn't discipline them well. I beg you to forgive me."

After saying this, he immediately knelt on the ground and begged Sun Shan for forgiveness.

Being able to bend and stretch is one of the principles of business. In the face of power, no matter how rich you are, you have to kneel.
