I, Sun Shan, and the Imperial Examination

Chapter 1391 Sun Shan suddenly groaned and felt nauseous.



Chapter 1391 Sun Shan suddenly groaned and felt nauseous.

Gui Ge'er continued to grind ink, and Sun Shan continued to write letters.

Gui Ge'er asked with a smile, "Brother Shan, Jinhua said she wants to write a letter back to her parents' home. Can you ask Uncle Chen to send it back with her?"

Sun Shan answered without hesitation: "Of course."

After a pause, he added, "Ask the men if they need to write letters home to write them early and have them shipped back together."

Gui Ge'er was overjoyed: "Brother Shan, they've been wanting to ask this for a long time. Haha, will this cause trouble to Uncle Chen?"

It will definitely be troublesome, but since it is already troublesome, I would rather not bother two people with the same problem than to deal with it to the end.

He smiled and said, "It's nothing. I will talk to my uncle."

Gui Ge'er asked again, "Brother Shan, they want to send their wages back with them. Is that possible?"

The men's food, drink, defecation, urination and sleeping are all provided by Sunshan. They rarely spend money on weekdays. No, it should be said that opportunities do not cost money. They will not buy things if they can avoid it and try to save all the wages they earn to take home.

After going back and forth a few times, I have saved a lot. I want to take advantage of this opportunity with a very high safety factor and ask my cousin Chen to take it back with me.

Sun Shan thought for a moment and said, "There's no need to let Uncle Chen take the money back."

After a pause, she explained, "The men give me the wages they want to send back. I'll record it and write a letter home, asking my grandmother to give it to their families. This way, we don't have to trouble Uncle Chen, and there's no worry about it getting lost."

Although the safety factor of this shipment is extremely high, what if an accident happens along the way?

Just come to a transit station and don’t have to bring actual money back.

I heard that overseas workers who want to send money back home have to go through intermediaries or human traffickers.

Workers overseas transfer money to intermediaries or snakeheads, and then people in China who connect the intermediaries and snakeheads transfer money directly to their relatives and friends in China.

Doing this not only simplifies the procedures and reduces the fees, but more importantly, it eliminates the need to exchange rates through certain institutions.

Of course, the intermediary and the snakehead must be trustworthy, otherwise you will lose all your money.

When Sun Bomin came to Yuanlu County, he had instructed his second uncle Sun and Yong Ge'er to manage the family's orchard, flower garden, and fields, keep account books, and hand over the revenue to his grandmother Huang for safekeeping.

Sun Shan collects money from the guards, and Huang pays the guards' relatives. This way, a lot of trouble can be reduced.

Gui Ge'er nodded and said, "Brother Shan, I understand. I'll tell Uncle Dali later and ask them to prepare early. If they're late, Uncle Chen will have to go back."

After a pause, he added, "Brother Shan, we need to find someone to ask Brother Nan to come back tomorrow. He doesn't know Uncle Min is here yet. The village chief should also bring him some things."

It is indeed necessary to inform Sun Dingnan that Uncle Chen will not stay in Yuanlu for too long.

Time is money, and businesspeople are very efficient.

Sun Shan tapped some ink and continued to reply.

This is a letter specifically for Jianzi. The little guy looks exactly like Hong Xiucai, and even has the same enthusiasm for studying, so he is deeply loved by Sun Shan.

Mr. Hong also mentioned Jianzi in his letter, and felt that among the younger generation of the Hong family, Jianzi had the most hope.

Sun Shan was naturally happy when he heard this.

So the letter read: Jianzi, Uncle Shan is sending you a set of examination papers, which contain the imperial examination materials collected by Hechen Prefecture in Yuanlu County. They were sorted out word by word by Uncle Shan. I hope they can help you in the future.

Jianzi, study hard, Uncle Shan has high hopes for you.

He also wrote some words of encouragement to let Kin Tsai know that Uncle Shan was his strong backer and would cheer him on on his journey to the imperial examination.

Of course, I would also say a few caring words to encourage Jianzi to balance work and rest and not to study too hard.

If, and I mean if, you don’t study well in the future, don’t be discouraged. As long as you have tried your best and lived up to your youth, it will be fine.

Sun Shan was afraid that Jianzi would collapse prematurely due to too much pressure, so he had to say some encouraging words so that he could feel the warmth of Uncle Shan like a spring breeze.

After finishing writing to Jianzi, he wrote back to Hong Dalang and Mrs. Hong Da.

This time, the Hong family not only sent some nutritious and easy-to-carry medicinal ingredients for making soup, but also made a pair of gold bracelets for Hu Ming and Xiao Feimei.

Yun Jie'er held her forehead and said with pain that the little fat girl didn't even close her eyes when she saw Madam Hong, and she kept chasing Madam Hong and asked people to hold her.

This made Mrs. Hong scream with joy.

He was in an unusually good mood, and even Hong Dalang seemed to be a little more pleased with him and stopped arguing with him.

When Sun Shan heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched.

Mrs. Hong has always liked to wear gold and silver, and the fat girl must be attracted by Mrs. Hong who is dressed in gold.

She is truly a gold digger.

Mrs. Hong not only wrote a long letter to Sun Shan expressing her "pain of missing him", but also made several pairs of shoes for him.

Seeing this, the memory of death kept coming to mind.

I remember when I was thirteen and passed the imperial examination, my clothes were too big for me. Madam Hong worked all night, staying up until her eyes were black, to personally make the changes for Sun Shan. The next day, he finally had a suitable outfit for the Flower Hairpin Banquet.

Hong Dalang and Hong Chengcai's fat bodies were full of jealousy and envy as they looked at Sun Shan.

Especially Hong Dalang, who said that his wife didn't mend his clothes, but mended them for Sun Shan instead, which was really biased.

Sun Shan stared at the shoes made by Mrs. Hong. Hong Dalang must be sourer than pickled cabbage and pickled bamboo shoots.

Sun Shan replied word by word.

The letters to Hong Dalang, Hong Chengcai and others were just a few words, but the one to Mrs. Hong Da was as long as a piece of cloth.

What's the point of chatting with those sour little Deng, middle Deng, and old Deng? It's better to chat with a pretty girl like Madam Hong. Maybe while chatting, you can earn a pair of gold bracelets for Xiao Feimei and Hu Ming.

After writing the letter to the Hong family, Sun Shan wrote back to Li Xinyun, his only roommate at the provincial school with whom he had contact.

Speaking of brothers in distress, Sun Shan couldn't help but sigh.

Think about how glorious it was when Sun Shan and Li Xinyun passed the imperial examination together and became scholars.

But in the next ten years, the development path was completely different.

Sun Shan became a seventh-rank official, while Li Xinjun was still a scholar struggling for the provincial examination.

If you say that Dapangpang is pitiful, in fact, Li Xinjun is more pitiful than him.

It was normal for Da Pangpang to fail the exam because he worked for two days and rested for three days. Li Xinjun, however, was a diligent and studious student, but he kept failing the provincial examination.

It seems that hard work does not reward.

Li Xinjun did not complain in the letter because he was already numb.

Sometimes I didn't want to take the exam, but sometimes I was unwilling to give up. I was hesitating between taking the exam and not taking it. Finally, I was unwilling to win and continued to enter the exam room.

Li Xinjun's most thankful words were: "Brother Pingshan, thankfully I've taken the provincial examination so many times and never drawn a bad number or the number next to a bad number. If I had drawn a "sky-breaking number" like I did in the academy exam, I would have withdrawn!"

Sun Shan: ...

Which pot should not be opened and lifted?

The memory of the stinky county examination came to Sun Shan's mind again, especially the bowl of county examination rice with white maggots.

Sun Shan suddenly made a "uh~" sound and felt nauseous.
