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

The group finally climbed over Niujiao Mountain, and then it started snowing.

Sun Shan was stunned. He didn't expect that snow would really come.

Without a word, Gui Ge'er took out an oil-paper umbrella from the carriage and immediately handed it to Sun Shan, saying, "Brother Shan, open the umbrella quickly to prevent the snow from falling on you and making you sick."

Brother Shan is much more delicate than them and absolutely cannot get sick.

Gui Ge'er remembered that before he came to Yuanlu County, Sun Bomin and Su Shi repeatedly told him to take good care of Sun Shan and never let him get hungry, thirsty or sick.

Gui Ge'er always obeyed Sun Bomin and Su's orders, always keeping an eye on Sun Shan's every move, and would never let Sun Shan get sick.

The snow fell little by little. Except for Sun Shan and Wang Jiaxing, everyone else drove the carriage quickly in the snow.

Wang Jiaxing said with a bitter face, "Sir, why didn't it snow until we returned to Yuanlu? God is too impatient, he can't wait for such a moment."

After crossing Niujiao Mountain, it will take another half hour to reach the city wall of Yuanlu County. But during this half hour, the snow can fall little by little, or it can fall with a clattering sound.

Wang Jiaxing ran hurriedly, wanting to go home quickly.

As Sun Shan ran, he said, "Heaven has been very kind to us. We can get back in just a few steps. If we were still on the mountain road, we would have to go down. It would be impossible to walk or hide."

Most of the road from Yuanlu County to Chenzhou Prefecture is mountainous. When the weather is bad, I really don’t know where to hide.

Sun Shan thought about it and decided to build a few pavilions every now and then on the mountain roads of Yuanlu before the next year's military service so that travelers would have a place to rest.

Alas, the former magistrate of Yuanlu only knew how to repair the county government office, but never thought about repairing the official road. He was even worse than Lord Wei.

When Sun Dali saw that the road was relatively flat, he immediately said, "Master, please get on the carriage quickly, otherwise you will get hit by the snow."

Seeing this, Sun Shan did not refuse. He thought it would be better to ride in a carriage than to run by himself so as not to slow down the team's progress.

Looking at the big red-headed horse, Sun Shan became more and more satisfied.

It has plenty of horsepower and is very docile. It feels like the kind I've raised since I was a puppy.

Not bad, not bad, it is worthy of being the steed of the county magistrate.

Seeing this, Wang Jiaxing also wanted to run to the carriage.

Sun Dali said anxiously, "Mr. Wang, don't get in the carriage. It's faster if you run. If you get in, it will slow down the carriage. Come on, run. The city wall is not far ahead."

Wang Jiaxing: ...

When Wang Jiaxing went there, he went with the escort team, so he did not drive his own "vehicle" at all.

On the way back, I took a ride in the government office's vehicle.

Just as he was about to get onto the grain truck at the delivery station, he was stopped by Sun Dali.

The ambassador of the transport office agreed repeatedly, saying, "Mr. Wang, there are too many things in the car. It's faster if it runs. If you sit in it, the car won't go fast. It will be slower than walking yourself."

This time, Sun Shan went to Chenzhou Prefecture not only to attend the meeting, but also to transport tax grain.

Afterwards, the vehicle was used for personal purposes by the transport ambassador and loaded with a lot of goods.

So when everyone came back, except for a few leaders like Sun Shan and Wang Jiaxing who took the bus, the rest took bus No. 11.

Sun Shan secretly envied the ambassador of the transport agency for selling goods openly and honestly, but because he was concerned about his "official status", he had to give up being a middleman.

Wang Jiaxing: ...

In the end, I had no choice but to run with everyone.

Once again, he secretly swore: next time he would never come back with Lord Sun, and would rather pay to go with the escort.

If Sun Shan knew what Wang Jiaxing was thinking, he would definitely roll his eyes: "Why would you want a free bike? I'm being kind enough to let you follow me!"

The group braved the wind and snow, hurried quickly, and finally arrived in Yuanlu County.

Looking at the empty streets and the dark sky, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Sun Caogen and Sun Heitan pushed the luggage and hurriedly took Wang Jiaxing home. They were afraid that this little guy would get into trouble when he got home, so they simply asked someone to take him back personally to feel at ease.

Sun Shan led a large group of people and quickly ran back to the yamen.

Big Head Dog, who had nothing to do, was sitting at the back door when he suddenly saw Sun Shan.

Shouted joyfully: "Master, you are back."

He looked at the snowflakes falling one by one and asked curiously, "Master, why did you choose to come back only when it snowed? It was sunny two days ago, why didn't you come back?"

Sun Shan: ...

Big Head Dog's hair has never been very long, and he still has a bob haircut. When he speaks, his hair moves like a mushroom.

Sun Shan ignored the question and asked directly, "Is everything okay at home?"

The big-headed dog nodded repeatedly: "Master, everything is fine at home, just waiting for you to come back."

Seeing that Big Head Dog was talking to Sun Shan without showing any reaction, Housekeeper Wang quickly asked, "Big Head Dog, where is the nanny?"

Big Head Dog said with a smile: "I went to talk to my wife."

Nanny Wang is the person with the widest circle of friends in Zhengsun's family.

Sun Shan was not at home, and there was no lady or daughter in the backyard, so he would chat with friends from time to time and live a very relaxed and comfortable life.

Of course, this was also the master's order, asking her to keep an eye on the rumors in Yuanlu at all times.

Especially regarding the government office, be an excellent "paparazzi".

Butler Wang couldn't help but feel annoyed. The master had returned, but the servant was not there. Fortunately, he was in the Sun family. If he had been in the He family, he would have been punished long ago.

Steward Wang ordered, "Hurry up and call the nanny back to boil water and make ginger soup. It's windy and snowy, so be careful to prevent the master from catching a cold."

The big-headed dog responded and hurried off to find Nanny Wang and Aunt Xia.

Sun Shan walked into the bedroom, changed into clean clothes, and when he came out, there was a pile of charcoal fire at his feet.

Gui Ge'er asked with concern: "Brother Shan, do you feel cold? Do you want to see a doctor?"

Sun Shan shook his head. "I'm sitting in the carriage. I'm not getting hit by the snow, so I'm not cold."

Then he said with concern: "It's you who came back in the snow. Hurry up and change your clothes to keep warm, don't catch a cold."

Gui Ge'er said honestly, "Brother Shan, I'm fine. I've always been in good health and never get sick."

Gui Ge'er lit the charcoal fire and went out to work. After a while, he brought hot water for Sun Shan to take a bath. "Brother Shan, take a bath quickly."

Sun Shan was moved and said, "Okay, Brother Gui, go and do your work. Don't worry about me."

Gui Ge'er insisted, "Brother Shan, I'll get busy after I've taken care of you."

After saying this, she went to get Sun Shan a towel, soap nuts, and clothes, running around like the Su family member.

Sun Shan smiled.

Gui Ge'er is usually a little stupid, a little naive, and a little dull. His brain is not flexible enough and he doesn't think things through.

But no matter how bad it is, it is the best thing for Sun Shan.

No wonder Sun Boming and Su trusted Gui Ge'er so much, and told him everything they wanted to tell him.

This simple loyalty is precious.

After Sun Shan finished bathing, Nanny Wang brought him a large bowl of ginger soup and said happily, "Master, you're back. Drink this ginger soup to drive away the coldness in your body."

While Sun drank the ginger soup, he listened to Nanny Wang talking about the latest gossip in the city.

Nanny Wang was so excited talking that she vowed, "Master, I haven't been lazy even when you're not around. I know exactly who's getting married in Yuanlu County, who's marrying off their daughters, who's having their sons beaten, and who's having their husbands beaten by their wives."

Sun Shan drank the ginger soup without changing his expression. He said approvingly, "Not bad, Ma'am. Keep up the good work and continue to inquire."
