Chapter 1242 Sun Family Guard Assessment
The first 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 clear. 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. What if he doesn’t understand when he is questioned?
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 show off in the future if you want to.
What's more, there is Gui Ge'er by my side.
I used to chase 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 whispering in his ear, asking him not to be lazy.
Gui Ge'er always urges Sun Shan to make progress, while he himself enjoys the fruits brought by Sun Shan.
Sun Shan put the book down, and Gui Ge'er, not knowing whether he had X-ray vision, 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 needs 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? 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 you?"
Gui Ge'er said with a smile, "Brother Shan, I've finished. You asked me to copy the book every day, and I copied it seriously."
Then he continued, "I still talk to Mammy quite often. I speak Yuanlu dialect. Mammy said my local dialect has improved a lot. If I go out and keep quiet, no one will know I'm from out of town. Brother Shan, I'm really trying hard now."
Oh, I didn’t expect that Gui Ge’er was working hard behind him. It seems that I blamed him wrongly.
So Sun Shan tested Gui Ge'er in Yuanlu dialect: "Okay, since you've studied so hard, let me test you. Now start speaking Yuanlu dialect to me."
Gui Ge'er said with a smile: "Come, 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, Gui Ge’er has made a lot of progress compared to before. Although he still speaks in a stammering manner, he can still express what he wants to say.
Sun Shan said with surprise, "Not bad, not bad, you said it well. It seems you have put in some effort."
Gui Ge'er said proudly, "Of course, Brother Shan, I am your servant, so I must study as hard as you do. You make great efforts, and I make small efforts. Haha, Brother Shan, let's work hard together. If I don't study hard, I won't be able to help you do things 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'er, let them come in one by one. I want to test how well they've learned."
The moment they arrived in Yuanlu, Sun Shan asked the guards of Sunjia Village to read and write and learn the local dialect.
Previously, Wang Jiaxing was the teacher, but later because of the academy examination, they found a poor scholar to teach.
This person was introduced by Madam Wang. Sun Shan had no idea where she had gotten the information from.
The Sun family guards attend classes on time every night, but there has been no test on how well they learn.
Because Sun Shan was too busy and immersed in official duties all day, he forgot about this matter.
During the Chinese New Year, everyone has a lot of free time, which is the best time to take the exam.
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 for you. Don't tell me you haven't learned 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 was going to conduct the test? That way we could prepare."
Why would the master want to test someone during Chinese New Year? This is totally inappropriate.
Guard B echoed repeatedly: "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 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 when he speaks now. After he goes in and sees the master, he will probably be scared to death..."
Guard B's face turned even redder as his brothers teased him. He wanted to retort but was powerless because what they said was true.
I 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 someone looks at him, I dare not do anything wrong.
Gui Ge'er said proudly, "Don't worry, it won't be difficult. I was just tested by Brother Shan, and he praised me for my good learning. As long as you study as hard as I did, I'm sure you'll pass."
Everyone couldn't help but roll their eyes.
Can Gui Ge'er be the same?
She and the master were childhood sweethearts, spending time together day and night together. She also told them from time to time that the master was kind and loving!
The fact that he could say such insincere words 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 guys 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 the disaster.
Sun Dali couldn't help feeling suffocated when he saw these big and strong men huddled together like quails.
He scolded loudly, "Stand up straight, hold your head high and chest out, act like women, don't embarrass the master."
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 have noticed how nervous they were.
Gui Ge'er looked at the guards cheerfully and said with a smile, "Uncle Dali, you go in first."
Sun Dali walked in without saying a word. Seeing Sun Shan sitting upright, he also became serious: "Master, please give me a question."
Sun Shan was delighted. Seeing 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 because of 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, but would have to be down-to-earth.
So Sun Shan said, "Sun Dali, please introduce yourself in Yuanlu dialect!"
