Chapter 1223: Not as Admired 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 for future imperial examinations."
Jing Yang nodded in agreement: "It's a pity that I have been recuperating at home for the past year and cannot discuss with the students of Chenzhou Prefecture. It's a pity."
Wang Jiaxing quickly comforted him: "Cousin, don't worry. Your condition has almost recovered, and there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."
Then he said, "Don't be in a hurry to find classmates to study together, but you must hurry up to ask our master for guidance. It's not easy to meet the master in Chenzhou Prefecture. If there is anything I don't understand, please feel free to ask.
Our master's knowledge is more solid and profound than the professors in the provincial school. If you can get some advice from our master, I guarantee that my cousin will be enlightened and his knowledge will reach a higher level."
I even glanced at him with admiration, as if to say: Such a good opportunity, hurry up. If you miss this opportunity, you will miss it.
Lord Sun is very busy with official duties, and now he has finally finished dealing with his immediate superiors, and has a rare moment of leisure. If not now, when will he be able to wait?
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 admire this kind of people and are about to take the imperial examinations, it would be very beneficial for them to receive some instruction.
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.
Connections are built through accumulation. If you take one more step today, you may get help tomorrow.
Although the Jing family had no 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 originally from Yuanlu. If she can establish good relations with the local officials, she can also take care of her family.
Jing Yang said quickly, "I have wanted to ask Master Sun for advice for a long time. My cousin, you passed the imperial examination immediately after Master Sun's teaching. I also want to be like you, and hope that everything will go smoothly in the future and I can 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 very 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 to the student as long as he was not a heinous 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 that 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 was reviewing the papers with a frown on his brow, 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 panicked: "Cousin, is Lord Sun frowning because my article is not good?"
Wang Jiaxing, the fool, didn't give him any buffer and nodded blankly: "Cousin, you guessed it right. Every time Lord Sun frowns, it means that your article is getting worse and worse. Lord Sun also read articles like this before."
On the surface, he looked at her with sympathy and admiration.
But in his heart, he was secretly happy, 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 that I am good at studying and can go back to Chenzhou Prefecture to take the exam. My father let me come back when he heard that. What if I am not good at studying and fail the exam?"
Admire the inner contradiction.
The teacher said that his essay was good and would definitely be on the list. But Lord Sun Shan frowned as he read it, wondering if he would fail the exam next year.
While Jingyang was fortunate enough to believe in the Master's affirmation, he also felt that Sun Shan was a Jinshi and was 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 a long time ago. What should I do 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 looked at Jing Yang, and said with certainty: "My cousin, it is better to trust Lord Sun than your teacher. Don't forget that Lord Sun passed the imperial examination in the capital, so how could his knowledge be bad? Hey, I think your teacher said that you are well-educated 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 frowned again. How many times had she frowned? Was her knowledge really that bad?
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 finishing speaking, he sent the article back.
Jing Yang stretched his head and took a look. He was startled by the densely packed red words.
The more comments 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. Fortunately, he didn't enter the scene this time because of illness. If he were in the same frame with me and was outshined by me, it would be so embarrassing.
My family always says that Jing Jiaya 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 pretended to look at Jing with comfort.
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 the point of being completely worthless.
This was clearly his masterpiece, but in return he got a beating.
Master Jing was so desperate.
Sun Shan could also see his confusion and anxiety.
He comforted her, "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 the loss."
He pointed at Wang Jiaxing and said, "His knowledge was similar to yours at the beginning. 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."
