Chapter 1242 Sun Family Guard Assessment
The first day to the fifth day of the New Year passed quickly. During these days, Sun Shan stayed in the yamen, lying on the firebox and leisurely "reviewing the old and learning the new."
Read a book a hundred times and its meaning will become clearer. Every time you reread the Four Books and Five Classics, you will experience it differently.
It’s not that Sun Shan wants to show off, but as the county magistrate, all the scholars in the county are his students. If he is questioned, what should he do if he doesn’t know the answer?
He was a successful candidate in two imperial examinations and had a lot of knowledge. He was not the kind of scholar who relied on connections to get to the top.
You must always maintain a learning and enterprising attitude so that you can pretend to be cool in the future.
What's more, there is Brother Gui by my side.
In the past, I chased him to study, but now I not only chase him to study but also to handle official business.
Every moment he rubbed his eyes, he kept reminding him in his ear not to be lazy.
Gui Ge'er always urges Sun Shan to make progress, while he enjoys the fruits brought by Sun Shan.
Sun Shan put the book down, and Gui Ge'er, who didn't know if he had the ability to see through things, immediately ran in from the yard.
With the stupidity and clarity of a college student in his eyes, he asked, "Brother Shan, have you finished reading The Analects? Then I'll get you The Great Learning."
Don’t ask Gui Ge’er why he wanted to find "The Great Learning" for Sun Shan, he doesn’t know either. Anyway, if he guesses wrong, Shan Ge will tell him.
Sun Shan shook his head and said, "I won't watch it anymore."
Gui Ge'er immediately said, "Brother Shan, how can we not read it? We must never forget to study. This is what you told me!"
Sun Shan: ...
This guy Gui Ge'er is really mean.
Sun Shan changed the subject and asked, "Have you completed the homework I assigned to you?"
Gui Ge'er said with a smile: "Brother Shan, I have finished it. You asked me to copy books every day, and I copied them seriously."
Then he continued, "I still talk to Mammy quite often. I speak Yuanlu dialect. Mammy said that my local dialect has improved a lot. If I go out and keep quiet, no one will know that I am from another place. Brother Shan, I am working hard now."
Ouch, I didn’t expect that Gui Ge’er was working hard behind him. It seems that I blamed the wrong person.
So Sun Shan tested Gui Ge'er in Yuanlu dialect: "Okay, since you have studied so hard, let me test you. Now start speaking Yuanlu dialect to me."
Gui Ge'er said with a smile: "Come on, Brother Shan, from now on we will speak Yuanlu dialect instead of Cantonese."
So Sun Shan tested Gui Ge'er in Yuanlu dialect.
It's true that Gui Ge'er has made a lot of progress compared to before. Although he still speaks in a shaky manner, he can express what he wants to say.
Sun Shan said in surprise: "Not bad, not bad, well said, it seems that you have made some efforts."
Gui Ge'er said proudly: "Of course, Brother Shan, I am your book boy, and I must study as hard as you. You make great efforts, and I make small efforts. Haha, Brother Shan, let's work hard together. If I don't study hard, I can't help you do better."
Sun Shan's eyes lit up again and again. He didn't expect Gui Ge'er to be so enlightened.
Not bad, not bad, it’s really impressive.
Since I have taken the exam for Gui Ge'er, I can't let go of the rest.
Sun Shan said, "Gui, let them come in one by one. I want to test how well they have learned."
As soon as they arrived in Yuanlu, Sun Shan asked the guards of Sunjia Village to learn to read and write and learn the local dialect.
Previously, Wang Jiaxing was the teacher. Later, because of the college entrance examination, they found a poor scholar to teach.
This person was introduced by Madam Wang. Sun Shan had no idea where she got the information from.
The Sun family guards attend classes on time every night, but there has never been a test on how well they have learned.
Because Sun Shan was too busy and immersed in official duties all day, he forgot about this matter.
During the Chinese New Year, people have a lot of free time, which is the best time to take the assessment.
When the Sun family guards heard this, they looked at the study in astonishment, and then burst into wailing.
Sun Dali shouted, "What are you arguing about? You live in my house, eat my food, earn my money, and I even found a teacher to teach you. Don't tell me you didn't learn anything? Humph, that's my hard-earned money, it can't be wasted."
Guard A said timidly, "Uncle Dali, why didn't you tell us earlier that the master wanted to test us? That way we could prepare for it."
Why would the master want to test people during the New Year? This is totally inappropriate.
Guard B echoed: "Yes, I was not mentally prepared at all. The master suddenly tested me. I was scared, I was scared... I was nervous..."
Sun Heitan sneered: "Don't be afraid, you are already very nervous now, and you will be even more nervous when you go in. Hahaha..."
Sun Caogen also said cheerfully: "That's right, he is stuttering now. When he sees the master after entering, he will probably be scared to death..."
Guard B's face turned even redder as his brothers made fun of him. He wanted to retort but was powerless because what they said was true.
I usually don’t feel anything when I’m busy in the yamen, but when the master comes, I feel uncomfortable all over.
Especially the master's eyes. Once he looks at you, you wouldn't dare to do anything wrong.
Gui Ge'er said proudly: "Don't worry, it won't be difficult. I was tested by Brother Shan just now, and Brother Shan praised me for my good learning. As long as you study as hard as I do, I guarantee you will pass."
Everyone couldn't help but roll their eyes.
Can Gui Ge'er be the same?
She and the master were childhood sweethearts, and they were together day and night. She also told them from time to time that the master was kind and loving!
The fact that he could say such a thing against his will proves that Gui Ge'er's words are not credible at all.
How can the master be kind and benevolent? He is clearly a vicious monster!
The kids in Sunjia Village are afraid of him, so why aren't the men in Sunjia Village afraid of him too?
Although the master didn't do anything to them, the Sun family guards were a little scared.
At this moment, many guards regretted not going to the guano workshop with Sun Dingnan. If they had gone, they would not have to take part in the assessment today.
The Sun family guards also regretted not going out shopping. If they had gone out, they might have escaped.
Sun Dali couldn't help feeling suffocated when he saw these burly men huddled together like quails.
He scolded loudly, "Stand up straight, hold your head high, and act like women. Don't embarrass me."
Since the security captain said so, the team members stood straight no matter how scared they were.
If it weren't for their shaking hands, you wouldn't be able to tell how nervous they are.
Gui Geer looked at the guards cheerfully and said with a smile, "Uncle Dali, you go in first."
Sun Dali walked in without saying anything. Seeing Sun Shan sitting upright, he also became serious: "Master, please give us a question."
Sun Shan was delighted. Looking at Sun Dali's serious and nervous expression, he smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. The questions are very simple. Don't be afraid."
In fact, Sun Dali was also a little scared, but due to his identity as the "team leader", he couldn't lose face in front of his younger brothers, so he pretended to be strong.
Sun Shan's assessment would naturally not be like that of scholars, it would have to be down-to-earth.
So Sun Shan said, "Sun Dali, please introduce yourself in Yuanlu dialect!"
