Chapter 51: Night Talk
After getting the money, Sun Songnian was in a good mood, and chatted with Sun Henian for a few more words, and suddenly remembered something: "Year of the Crane, the children's test in Shandong has begun, if nothing else, Sun Yue will have no problem with this year's middle show." This child successfully passed the county examination and the government examination last time, but he was delayed because he was seriously ill. Otherwise, my grandson's family would have already produced a young jinshi. ”
Hearing his brother mention his son, Sun Henian's wooden face had a hint of a smile: "Brother, don't praise him, Sun Yue's little animal is also a person who is not hard in his life, if he really won the Jinshi last time, he doesn't know what kind of arrogance he will become." Grinding him for a few years will also be good for him in the future. It's your Sun Hao, I heard that the results of this county exam are still good, and you should be able to take the test smoothly before you come out. ”
Sun Songnian shook his head: "Year of the Crane, my own son knows best. He is just a bad swinger, and the reason why he passed the county test is not because he has Li Meiting's face and the Sun family's money. The county test and the government test are good, but the hospital test is not easy to talk about, I think Sun Hao is mostly out of action this year. I've also thought about it, it's a big deal to buy him a prisoner in the future, and then find him a position in the capital, so that I can inherit my title. Speaking of which, my grandson's family did well in the exam this time, and there are also several talents. ”
Sun Henian nodded: "That's good, a hundred-year-old family, talent first." As long as my grandson's family continues to read like this from generation to generation, and the examination continues, the family will not decline. ”
"By the way, the government exam is also over."
"Oh, the government exam is also over?" Sun Henian hurriedly asked: "Some time ago, a letter from Shandong said that the schoolchildren were waiting for the exam in Jinan, why did they finish the exam, and what was the result?" ”
Sun Songnian said: "This time, there are two consecutive examinations in the government examination and the hospital examination, and there is only five days in between. There was a delay in the exchange of letters on the way, and now they should enter the examination room. This government test is also very simple, the prefect of Jinan happens to have an old relationship with Li Meiting, and he has to take care of it, and ten of the thirteen schoolchildren in my grandson family have passed. ”
"That's good, this Li Meiting......" Sun Henian pondered for a moment: "When I invited him, in order to cope with the current science boy's exam, his questioning skills are first-class, and he has been a student official for a long time, and he is familiar with all kinds of people in the same field." However, when the boy finishes the examination, the future township examination and the general examination are very strict, and he will not be able to help much. And this person has a lazy personality, not a material for teaching and educating people. I thought about it for a long time, and when the boy tried it, I was going to move around the capital to see if I could mention it in front of Yang Ge's old face, and then restore it and find a quiet messenger for him. ”
"That's true."
"By the way, today's science and government test, which juniors in my family have passed, you can tell me."
Sun Songnian hurriedly opened his mouth and read out a series of names of the children of the Sun family: "Sun Hao, Sun Gui, Sun Yuantu, Sun Youcai, Sun Tiansheng, Sun Dan......"
"Wait." Sun Henian waved his hand to make his brother stop: "Sun Dan...... But the back genealogy that Sun Zhong mentioned last time entered the kid who studied in my family? ”
"Exactly." Sun Songnian smiled: "The chief manager Sun Zhong praised that kid, saying that he has a good memory and is a talent that can be created." I was going to study in ethnology for a few years, and in the future, I would work in the family business. But I didn't expect that Sun Dan had only been reading for more than a month, so he went to take the children's exam and passed two levels in one go. What a surprise! Year of the Crane, you say, is this kid a genius. I didn't believe that there was a genius in the world, but now I believe it. ”
"I haven't seen such a thing as a genius, but that doesn't mean there isn't." Sun Henian was cautious, thought about it and said: "Take Dangchao Yang Ge Lao as an example, he was admitted to the Jinshi at the age of twelve, and he didn't study for a few years, isn't this a genius?" ”
Sun Songnian said: "In the year of the crane, Yang Ge is naturally a genius in the sky, and he is a twelve-year-old junior scholar. But I have heard that when he was five years old, he had been studying for seven years until he was twelve. Even if Sun Dan is a genius, it is impossible for him to study for a month, so he will take the exam, right? ”
"Xiucai, he will definitely not be able to win." Sun Henian said: "As for being able to read and write in a month, I think it's normal. First of all, Sun Dan has a super memory, which can be said to be unforgettable, if you want to read and write, it is not easy? As for the composition, don't forget, Li Meiting was specially invited by us to deal with this boy's test. Mr. Li will definitely delineate a scope of the exam, get dozens of sample essays for Sun Danquan to memorize, and copy them during the exam. It's not a miracle to say. ”
Sun Songnian patted his head: "It makes sense, it makes sense." This Li Meiting is very powerful to go through this kind of sideways, and there are a lot of ghost ideas. ”
"Brother, don't forget, for this boys' test, the family made money, and the people in the county and government all benefited from my family. For the sake of my Sun family's face, it is normal to let a few people pass the test, and Sun Dan has been caught in it for two consecutive games, which is also due to his luck. ”
"Yes, yes, yes, that's right, Sun Dan boy is lucky."
Sun Henian said: "However, when it comes to the hospital examination, sometimes the name transcription is recorded, and no human relationship is used, and it is estimated that only one or two people can really pass the test in my Sun family." I already expected that Sun Dan's subject would be beaten back to its original form. ”
"The Year of the Crane is right." Sun Songnian smiled, "It is impossible for people to rely on luck for a lifetime, speaking of which, the identity of Sun Dan is really a problem." He said that he was from my grandson's family, but I checked the genealogy for a long time, but I couldn't find anything. You say, could he be here to deceive my grandson's family? I'll go back and let people check again, if I really find out that Sun Dan is not my grandson's family, I have to give him some color to see. ”
"There's no need." Sun Henian said lightly: "January is literate and can compose, and Sun Dan also has some talent." Even if he is not my grandson's family, he just gives him a bowl of rice to eat, which is not worth much.
There are many people in the older generation of my grandson family who can do things. But the new generation can't find a few, and Sun Dan can be regarded as a person who can be used. Find an opportunity to send him to Zhuangtian to practice for a few years, and if he is really good, he will be called back to the house to listen to it. ”
"The Year of the Crane is right." Sun Songnian nodded: "I heard that Sun Dan is very valued by my son, if he can really use it, he will be transferred to my big room to listen to the errand." ”
"Okay, I'll give it to you then." In Sun Henian's view, Sun Dan is just a mustard-like little person, no different from any subordinate in the mansion.
After some homely work, Sun Henian looked at the sky, the east had already dawned, and he stayed up all night. He suddenly made a little anxious noise in his heart, and he didn't know what was going on in Shandong, is the hospital exam about to start?
