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

As soon as Lord Sun's family stepped into the yamen, County Magistrate Wang received the news.

County Magistrate Wang, who was currently flirting with his Fourth Concubine, immediately jumped up from his recliner, ran quickly to the servant, and demanded, "What? Are Lord Sun's father, mother, wife, and children here?"

Why did you come so suddenly? Why didn’t you notify me?

The servant working in the yamen nodded repeatedly: "We just arrived, and the whole family is here. It's a pity that Master Sun is not here, so we can only rest in the living room first."

County Magistrate Wang frowned and asked, "Why are Lord Sun's family here? They came so suddenly. Why didn't I hear Lord Sun mention it?"

The servant shook his head and said, "I didn't ask for the details, I just saw them walking into the government office."

The servant recounted the news he had heard from the yamen: "I heard they are waiting for Steward Wang to return before confirming his identity."

After a pause, he added, "The two officers guarding the yamen saw that the old lady and Lord Sun looked exactly alike, so they arranged for them to rest in the living room."

When County Magistrate Wang heard that the old lady was allowed to enter the yamen because she looked exactly like Lord Sun, how similar were they?

His eyes widened as he asked curiously, "Master Sun's mother looks alike to Master Su? Is that true or false?"

Recalling that Lord Sun was short, thin, and weak, if the old lady looked like Lord Sun, wouldn’t she also be short, thin, and weak?

Yes, like mother, like son. It is normal for a son to look like his mother.

The servant shook his head, then nodded: "Anyway, everyone who has seen it says it looks like it. I haven't seen it, so I'm not sure."

County Magistrate Wang laughed inwardly, thinking, "Tsk tsk~" How ugly must this old lady be to have given birth to such an ugly son.

Then he asked curiously, "What does Lord Sun's father look like?"

How poor must this family be that they can't afford a pretty wife, so they end up marrying an ugly one!

The servant shook his head. "The officer didn't say anything. Perhaps it was nothing special, nothing worth mentioning."

After a pause, he added, "But I heard from the officer that Lord Sun's cousin is tall and mighty, handsome and elegant, with a fine appearance and a dignified demeanor."

The servant didn't know why he emphasized this, but he just said it naturally.

County Magistrate Wang's eyes widened, and he asked in disbelief, "What? My cousin is so handsome? Tsk tsk~~~ Lord Sun..."

I almost said "sly eyes", but luckily I stopped myself in time.

Don’t ask why County Magistrate Wang always asks about appearance; he just asks it naturally.

The servant continued, "Sir Wang, it turns out the rumors are true. The magistrate's wife is indeed quite plump, and Sir Sun's daughter has a round head and a round face. I heard from the servant at the back door that the rumors are true."

Upon hearing this, County Magistrate Wang's eyes bulged out like goldfish eyes, his gossip filled with surprise, and his surprise was tinged with disbelief: "What? It's actually true? Did the government officials see it?"

The servant nodded, then shook his head. "Master Sun's daughter saw it, but the lady was wearing a veil, so only her outline was visible."

County Magistrate Wang's eyes were full of ridicule, and he thought to himself: Yes, that must be it. He dared not see anyone, so he wore a veil.

Tsk tsk~ Wearing a veil is useless, just look at your body shape.

Tsk tsk~~ When I heard that Sun Shan rejected the rich businessman's beauty, it seemed that he didn't find a beauty that suited his taste. Tsk tsk~~ I can't blame the rich businessman for giving the wrong gift, because Lord Sun has such unique taste.

Tsk tsk~~ It seems that you have to find out everything beforehand before giving gifts, otherwise if you give the wrong one, you will get into trouble.

County Magistrate Wang sat down happily and took a sip of tea. Suddenly he remembered something, stood up quickly, and waved his hand to let the servant leave.

Afterwards, he hurried to the main courtyard to find his legal wife.

He didn't even care about his concubine's annoying behavior.

County Magistrate Wang ordered, "Madam, Lord Sun's father, mother, wife, and daughter have already arrived in Yuanlu. Send someone to ask if they need any help. Find a clever boy and a girl to go and get some information."

Although it has not been officially confirmed, no one would be so bold as to pretend to be an official's family member in broad daylight.

What's more, when the officer saw the old lady, he immediately confirmed that it was the old lady, proving that it was indeed Mr. Sun's family had arrived.

Now that you know the news, you should at least welcome it and show your concern.

So, I'll arrange two servants to go and see if there is anything that needs help.

Even if they don't need help, it would be nice to introduce them to the scenery and people of Yuanlu so that they can have an impression first.

Haha, as the second-in-command of the county government and the assistant to Lord Sun, I have to show my concern when the relatives of my immediate superior come.

Not to mention going there to gather information. He came so suddenly, there might be some trick.

Madam Wang snorted coldly and rolled her eyes.

Although everyone in the government office was looking forward to Sun Shan's business trip, Madam Wang was different. She wished Sun Shan could sit in court every day.

County Magistrate Wang took advantage of Sun Shan's absence and arrived at the yamen early to report for duty, and then went out to steal the chicken.

It would be fine if they just went to drink tea, but they were actually being affectionate in broad daylight. Madam Wang wanted to stab them with a sword to let him know why the flowers are so red.

It's different for Lady Sun in the yamen. She starts work early and leaves late. She is exhausted when she comes back and has no time to think about matters between men and women. Her daily housekeeping work is much easier.

What's more important is to feel happy and not have to worry about those vixens being jealous.

Everyone in the yamen hated Sun Shan. Madam Wang wanted to erect a longevity tablet for Sun Shan and worship him at home every day.

Madam Wang said calmly, "So Lord Sun's family has arrived. When did they come? Why didn't the master mention it before?"

County Magistrate Wang said quickly, "I have no idea why they came so suddenly. Forget it, let's not talk about it anymore. Let's quickly arrange for two people to go over and find out what's going on."

Mrs. Wang knew that her boss's family had arrived, so she had to send someone to help and show her concern and welcome.

He just didn't like County Magistrate Wang and didn't want the task he asked him to do to go so smoothly.

Humph, you usually deal with the little goblin, why don’t you let the little goblin handle this kind of thing?

Humph, you know those goblins are not worthy of being on the stage.

Humph, when there's trouble, there's Zhong Wuyan, when there's nothing, there's Xia Yingchun. All men are like this.

County Magistrate Wang could not feel any resentment from Madam Wang at all, and even if he did, he would not take it seriously.

After being married for decades, not to mention sweet words, it is rare for them to treat each other with respect. Most of them just dislike each other.

Seeing that Madam Wang was motionless, County Magistrate Wang ordered impatiently, "Hurry up and make arrangements. Find out the information carefully and report back to me. I will go back to the government office first to take a look at the situation."

While arranging for someone to sneak into the inner courtyard to investigate, I also personally investigated in the yamen. Haha, I guarantee I won’t be wrong.

When the people arranged by Madam Wang walked into the reception room, people arranged by Wu Zhubo and Liang Xunjian were already there.

It seems that as soon as everyone received the news, they rushed to the yamen to "help" Lord Sun's family.

It can be seen how much he cares about Lord Sun!
