Chapter 1223: Admiration is not as good as Wang Jiaxing
Sun Shan didn't know whether Wang Jiaxing was telling the truth or not, but he couldn't ruin his plan.
He smiled and said, "Mr. Wang, you are too kind. There are many talented people in Yuanlu. It is very good for them to discuss knowledge with each other. It will be of great help to future imperial examinations."
Jing Yang nodded in agreement. "It's a pity that I've been recuperating at home for the past year and haven't been able to discuss this with the students from Chenzhou Prefecture. It's a shame."
Wang Jiaxing quickly comforted him, "Cousin, don't worry. Your condition has almost healed, and there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."
Then he continued, "There's no need to rush to find classmates to study with, but you should hurry up and ask our master for guidance. It's a great honor for you to come to Chenzhou Prefecture. If there's anything I don't understand, please feel free to ask."
Our master's knowledge is even more solid and profound than that of the professors at the provincial academy. If he can get some pointers from our master, I'm sure that my cousin will be enlightened and his knowledge will reach a higher level."
He even glanced at it admiringly, as if to say: Such a good opportunity, hurry up. If you miss this opportunity, you will miss it.
Lord Sun is so busy with official duties that he's barely finished dealing with his immediate superiors, and now he has a rare moment of leisure. If not now, when will he be able to do so?
The Jing family invited Sun Shan to dinner this time, not only to see what the legendary Lord Sun was like and what his personality was like, but more importantly, they wanted to learn from Sun Shan.
Especially for those students who are about to take the imperial examinations, they can benefit a lot from being taught.
Moreover, through teaching, we can also get a glimpse into whether Sun Shan has real information in his mind, and even more so, get a glimpse into Sun Shan's style of doing things.
Of course, he also wanted to make friends with him, even though Sun Shan's official position was lower than that of the head of the family.
Your network is built through accumulation. If you take one more step today, you may be able to gain help in the future.
Although the Jing family did not have any luck in asking Sun Shan for a seventh-rank official position, the most important thing in official circles is to make money through harmony.
good for everyone.
What's more, the old lady in the family is from Yuanlu. If she can establish good relations with the local officials, she can also take care of her family.
Jing Yang quickly said, "I've been wanting to ask Master Sun for advice for a long time. My cousin, you passed the imperial examination immediately after Master Sun's guidance. I also want to be like you, hoping for smooth sailing and to win the first place in one fell swoop."
So after the three of them finished their meal, Jingyang immediately took out the article he was most proud of and asked Sun Shan to review it.
Sun Shan thought that whether the meal he had today was delicious was one thing, but it was also very expensive and stylish.
Just take a look at the article, no big deal.
Of course, even if he didn't invite Sun Shan to dinner, someone like him who has been fond of teaching since childhood would give some pointers as long as the student was not an unforgivable criminal.
Sun Shan carefully read the article he admired.
It can only be said to be average, even worse than Wang Jiaxing.
Alas, it seems that nothing is eternal in this world. No matter how glorious a family is, it will gradually decline.
The articles I admire are full of flowery words and rhetoric, but they are empty and meaningless, and do not belong to the category of good articles at all.
Alas, it seems that the education of aristocratic families is just average. From generation to generation, it becomes mediocre.
Sun Shan frowned as he reviewed the papers, which made Jing Yang and Wang Jiaxing sitting opposite him feel uneasy.
Wang Jiaxing whispered, "Cousin, look, Lord Sun is frowning again."
Jing Yang asked a little panickedly, "Cousin, is Lord Sun frowning because my article is not good?"
Wang Jiaxing, the fool, didn't give him any time to relax. He nodded blankly, "Cousin, you guessed right. Every time Lord Sun frowns, it means your article is getting worse. Lord Sun has read articles this way before."
He looked at her with apparent sympathy and admiration.
In his heart, he was secretly delighted, and thought proudly: My cousin's knowledge is indeed not as good as my cousin. Hahaha, studying abroad doesn't seem to be that good, it's better to stay in Chenzhou Prefecture to study.
Jing Yang asked anxiously, "Cousin, the teacher said I'm good enough to go back to Chenzhou Prefecture and take the exam. My father let me come back when he heard that. What if I'm not good enough and fail the exam?"
Admire the inner contradiction.
The teacher said his essay was good and would definitely make the list. But Lord Sun Shan frowned, wondering if he would fail next year's exam.
Jingyang believed in the Master's affirmation with a little happiness, but at the same time he felt that Sun Shan was a Jinshi and more knowledgeable than the Master, and his opinions were more accurate.
If I hadn't been sick this time, I would have entered the exam long ago. What if I fail the exam next year?
That would be such a disgrace, and my family would definitely be very disappointed.
Wang Jiaxing glanced at Sun Shan, then at Jingyang, and said with certainty, "Cousin, it's better to trust Master Sun than your own teacher. Don't forget, Master Sun passed the imperial examinations and became a Jinshi in the capital. How could his knowledge be so poor? Well, I think your teacher said you're quite knowledgeable just to please your father."
Then he sighed, shook his head and said, "Cousin, believe me, if Lord Sun says your article is not good, then it is definitely not good. Lord Sun is the most sincere about learning."
After Wang Jiaxing said this, Jingyang became even more frightened and looked at Sun Shan tremblingly.
Emma, she frowned again. How many times had she frowned? Was her knowledge really that poor?
After Sun Shan finished reading one article, he continued to read the next one until he finished reading the three articles he brought with him.
Then he spoke: "Master Jing, here is your article. I have reviewed it. Please take a look."
After saying that, he handed the article back.
Jing Yang stretched his head and was startled by the dense red words.
The more annotations there are, the worse the proof is.
If it is really good, the word "read" will definitely be written at the end.
Wang Jiaxing stretched his neck curiously and took a look at the article he admired. He especially saw a series of red words and smiled happily in his heart.
Oh, my cousin is really not as good as me. This time, he was lucky enough to be ill and didn't enter the scene. If he were in the same frame with me and was outshined by me, how embarrassing it would be.
My family always says that Jing Jiayazi is good at studying. Hahaha, I think he is just average.
Although Wang Jiaxing wanted to gloat over their misfortune, they made their fortune thanks to the Jing family, so he suppressed his inner joy and gave Jing a look of pretending to comfort him.
It seems to be saying: Cousin, don’t be sad, take your time, you still have a chance.
Jing Yang read the comments on the article carefully and his scalp went numb. Mr. Sun's words were so sharp that he really criticized his article to no avail.
This was clearly his masterpiece, but he ended up getting beaten up.
Young Master Jing was so desperate.
Sun Shan could also see his confusion and anxiety.
He said soothingly, "Master Jing, don't be sad. Your knowledge is indeed not outstanding, but it is enough to cope with the county and prefectural examinations. After two years of the imperial examination, there will be enough time to make up for it."
He pointed at Wang Jiaxing and said, "His knowledge was similar to yours back then, and with hard work, he was able to make the list. Master Jing, I believe you will be able to catch up in the end. Don't be afraid, you are still young and have many opportunities."
