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

Sun Shan only stayed briefly in Shenxi Village and continued on his way.

Village Chief Shen waved his hand reluctantly and shouted, "Sir, take care. Come back next time."

After turning around, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Finally he left, it's so great."

The villagers also thought so. Although Lord Sun was idle and approachable, he was still a high-ranking official. It was very uncomfortable to have him in the village.

Village Chief Shen waved his hand and shouted, "Fellow villagers, those who need to work should go to work, and don't delay the work in the fields."

Fortunately, Lord Sun only stayed in Shenxi Village for two days. If he had stayed for more days, the crops would have been overgrown with weeds.

A curious villager named A couldn't help but ask, "Village chief, have you asked Lord Sun to confirm how many more bushels of rice we can harvest by using guano fertilizer?"

Although the seedlings in front of me are growing well, it is not reassuring to use them for the first time. What if they only grow seedlings and no grain?

The village chief did ask this question and received the affirmation of Lord Sun.

So he said confidently, "Don't worry, what Lord Sun recommends to us must be good. If it's not good, we will settle the score with Lord Sun."

Villager B pressed the issue, "Village head, you said that if my family's harvest decreases this year, you have to compensate me."

The village chief was furious. He shook his sleeves and snorted, "You are so unreasonable. It's not me who asked you to use guano fertilizer. It was Lord Sun who asked you to use it. Lord Sun should pay the compensation."

Villager C doesn't think so. His direct contact is the village chief, so the village chief must be held responsible.

He said hurriedly: "Village Chief, I don't care. I will only look for you, I dare not look for Lord Sun."

The village chief decided to leave the scene and not waste time with the villagers. The more he said, the more mistakes he made. If production really did decrease, wouldn't he have to pay compensation? Humph, if he was going to make a fuss at the government office, why bother with him?

He was not only a transmitter, but also a victim. His land was all fertilized with guano, so if he suffered a loss, he would lose more than any other household present.

Who can he cry to?

The village chief waved his sleeves, turned around and left, leaving behind a sentence "I'm going to work", without taking a cloud with him.

Sun Shan sat in the carriage, looking at the scenery outside through the window.

Although Yuanlu County is poor and remote, its scenery is extremely beautiful, especially the lush green rice fields, which are a real delight to the eyes.

Gui Ge'er said with a smile: "Brother Shan, I heard a lot of frogs croaking last night. Hehe, I really want to catch some frogs and make porridge with them. They are so sweet."

Speaking of frogs, Sun Shan really liked them, especially those that were pure, pollution-free, and not artificially raised, and they were even more fragrant.

My favorite dish is steamed egg with frog.

He tucked his lips, nodded and said, "Let's see how far we can go tonight. If we are not in a hurry to go, we can go catch frogs."

It was the Sun family guards who caught him, and Sun Shan was watching from the shore.

Master Zhang, a native of Guangzhou, was a great eater. He said cheerfully, "Master, frogs are at their plumpest this season. Catch some and steam them. They're simple and delicious. Haha, I haven't had them in a while."

While Sun Shan was happily discussing the sweet frogs, Yun Jie'er and her group finally arrived in Yuanlu.

Seeing the low and majestic city gate, everyone was stunned and couldn't believe it.

Su tugged at Sun Bomin's sleeve and shouted excitedly, "Shanzi's father, is this Yuanlu County? Are we in the right place?"

Su looked at the two words "Yuan Lu" on the city gate. They were blurry and looked similar, but she didn't know whether they were real or fake.

Su has been studying hard, but because of his age, his energy is limited and he only knows a few simple words.

Because Sun Shan worked in Yuanlu County, he asked Yun Jie'er to teach him. After several lessons, he finally learned how to read and write.

Sun Bomin was the same. Seeing the words "Yuanlu" on the city gate, he asked uncertainly, "Uncle Chen, are we there yet?"

Uncle Chen was out of breath as he walked, especially when he reached Niujiao Mountain, which had many twists and turns.

Hey, we finally arrived in Yuanlu County and can finally rest.

He panted and said, "Xiaoxiao's grandfather, this is Yuanlu, we are not wrong."

Then he asked the escort beside him uncertainly: "Captain Wei, this is Yuan Lu, right?"

Escort Captain Wei said with absolute certainty, "It's Yuanlu. We were the ones who escorted Lord Sun to Yuanlu last time."

That’s right, the escort agency Sun Shan found this time was the same one he found last time, and the escort team still included the big and small Wei escorts.

It’s just that the escort from Da Wei was promoted to escort leader, while the escort from Xiao Wei is still an escort.

Uncle Sun suddenly shouted, "We're here, we're finally here. Emma, ​​it's been so hard and tiring walking. It's not easy for me to see Shanzi."

De Ge'er was also happy. He looked at the city gate ahead with a cheerful look and said cheerfully, "We'll see Shanzi soon. That's great. Hahaha, I don't know what Shanzi is busy with right now. Haha, he'll definitely be surprised when we get there."

Speaking of being startled, Sister Yun didn't want to scare Sun Shan.

So he suggested, "Father, Mother, Brother Shan doesn't know we're coming. It's not appropriate to rush in like this. How about we send someone to deliver a message first so that Brother Shan can be prepared?"

The two Wei escorts looked quietly at Yun Jie'er, and then at the so-called relatives of Magistrate Sun.

Emma is completely different in both appearance and attitude.

Tsk tsk~~ County Magistrate Sun’s original family is made up of straightforward country people. They speak and act carelessly, following typical country rules.

Magistrate Sun’s daughter-in-law was completely different. She spoke softly, treated people politely, and was very thoughtful in her work.

Tsk tsk~~ It turns out that a scholar from a farming family has to marry a lady from a wealthy family.

The two Wei escorts looked again at the plump girl on Su's back, who was looking around excitedly. Her plump legs bounced vigorously, trying to get off Su's back.

Tsk tsk~~ Is this Magistrate Sun's daughter? How come she looks completely different from Magistrate Sun?

Tsk tsk~~ It’s so round and looks festive, a hundred times prettier than Magistrate Sun.

Su was about to object, thinking that there was no need to inform her mother when she was going to see her son. Besides, she was so eager to see her son that informing her would only waste time. It would be better for her to just go in and find someone.

Uncle Sun rushed forward and said anxiously, "Shanzi's wife, there's no need to inform him. Shanzi is not an outsider. We can just go in directly. Oh, when I see Shanzi later, I must give him a good hug. I, the uncle, have suffered a lot for him."

These words made Sun Bomin and Su very angry. They did not ask Uncle Sun San to come, but followed secretly.

He is so shameless. When I see Shanzi later, I will let him give Uncle Sun a good scolding.

De Ge'er next to him worked at the county school and had seen a lot of the world.

He agreed and said, "Your sister-in-law is right. We have to deliver a message. Shanzi must be working in the government office this afternoon. We can't just walk in and get in his way. If it's just an ordinary matter, it's fine. But if Shanzi is in there trying a case or meeting with his superior, it will delay him."

Yun Jieer glanced at De Ge'er quietly: Grandma's arrangement was good. She found a capable De Ge'er to follow her. His words are much more effective than mine outside.
