Chapter 31 The Proud Son of the Sun Family
Sun Dan naturally didn't need to please Sun Yue, and he didn't agree with Sun Hao's words.
At this moment, he saw Sun Gui put his head in Sun Yue's ear and said a few words.
Sun Le's expression changed, and then he changed to a look of nothingness and walked towards Sun Dan. He stood in front of Sun Dan and looked at Sun Dan with condescending attention: "I heard that our clan learned a prodigy with his surname and name Sun Dan, and he was very good at memorizing. He kept saying that you would be the first student in the school to pass the scholar's exam, and he also lied to the butler of Sun Zhong to say that he was from our Sun family."
Sun Yue's sudden action calmed everyone down, and Sun Dan felt a little strange. He looked up at Sun Le who was rising up again, not understanding what this guy wanted to do.
He said lightly: "I was the descendant of Zhizong Gong, so how could I recognize my ancestors indiscriminately? As for the child prodigy, it was spreading rumors and I couldn't be true. Sun Dan just had a better memory. I heard that Yue Ge'er was confused at the age of five and could recite the Four Books and Five Classics at the age of ten. Reading is about practice making perfect. No matter who you want to succeed in your studies, you must first memorize the text. A real man must have his own ideals in his life. Don't talk about me, everyone in the whole school wants to pass the scholar exam and live up to the expectations of his family and relatives and friends. Yue Ge'er, do you think, does Yue Ge'er usually not memorize the scholar exam and do not want to take the exam for this year's scholar?"
"You... are actually rude to Brother Yue, why don't you apologize?" Sun Gui shouted loudly from the side: "You have only been literate for a few days and want to rely on the scholars of the first grade in front of Brother Yue. Brother Yue's scholars this year are just taking photos. Even if you pass the imperial examination in a few years, it is normal. How can it be your turn?"
Sun Dan didn't want to pay attention to Sun Gui, and just looked up at Sun Yue.
Sun Yue was stubborn, but he didn't expect that Sun Dan would rebel against his own army. Although he was known as a young genius, he was the opponent of the old ghost Sun Dan. His fair face changed, "Learning is not about good memory, just be able to be smart. A gentleman acts but take it from the straightforwardness, don't ask for it. The Sun family is a prominent family in the country and a scholarly family. Don't make any trouble that will ruin the reputation of my Sun family." As he said that, he glanced at the oil lamp and manuscript on Sun Hao's table.
Sun Hao was shocked: "What are you looking at?"
Sun Yue smiled and said in a lesson: "Brother Hao, the ancients said that those who are close to the red are red, and those who are close to the black are black. As the eldest son of the Sun family, you should be close to the gentleman and far away from the villain, so don't be led by others. In the future, you will also be admitted to the imperial examination. Now you have a bad reputation. What do you think of the great examiner of the Taoist study?
Sun Hao snorted: "You want to care? You have good studies and your family spoiled you, but I'm not afraid."
"Brother, you have a good word. If you don't like to listen, I won't say it anymore." Sun Yue shook his sleeves and sat back in his position calmly.
It doesn't matter Sun Hao, but Sun Dan's expression changed. A sudden burst of fire suddenly lie in his chest. Sun Yue's arrogance may have his capital, but it gives people a very bad feeling.
Another noise was made: "Mr. Li is here, the exam is on!"
Everyone who was still watching the fun just now scattered, sat back and looked at Mr. Li Meiting with fear.
Mr. Li was like a different person today, wearing a clean blue cloth robe, his face was washed clean, and his eyes were filled with a hint of gleam. As soon as he encountered an exam, Mr. Li became energetic and soon got into the state.
Since entering the bookstore, Mr. Li's eyes fell on Sun Yue: "I won't say much nonsense. Start the exam, but are you ready? This monthly exam is very important, mainly to survey the county exam next month. You also know the rules of the county exam. Five people need to register together, and one student needs to be guaranteed. This monthly exam, the top five people can take the county exam, and I will personally guarantee you." Although the county exam can be registered at will, as long as there is a guarantee for a student, there is no threshold.
However, because the county exam is not so strict, there are strong human operation factors. With Mr. Li’s guarantee, he also has more impression scores in front of the examiner.
"yes."
The students answered at the same time, and were all excited.
Sun Dan was shocked. He didn't expect that this monthly exam would be the qualifying competition for the county exam. He was a junior school student. According to the rules, he didn't have to write a complete eight-legged essay, and it was easy to pass the test. But if he didn't finish writing a whole article, he would not be qualified for the county exam.
It seems that I can only show off my skills.
Mr. Li continued: "Sun Yue."
"Hello sir." Sun Yue stood up and bowed obediently.
"Sit down and talk." Mr. Li pressed his hands: "You have passed the county and government examinations, so you don't have to take the monthly exam this time."
Sun Yue smiled and said, "Sir, since I am a school student, I should follow the rules. Otherwise, someone would say that I am a child prodigy with name but not truth. It was all people who saw that I was a descendant of the Sun family and praised it randomly." He glanced at Sun Dan while speaking.
Everyone looked at it.
Looking at Sun Yue, who looked innocent and cute, and targeted him with a gun and a stick, a strong sense of disgust suddenly arose in Sun Dan's heart: This child is really hypocritical. Just now, Sun Gui must have said in front of him that he had a great memory and violated Sun Yue's taboo. Sun Yue was praised since childhood and was above his top eyes. Naturally, he couldn't see anyone in the school with a better memory than him. This kid is so small-minded!
Mr. Li did not doubt that he was, and smiled with relief: "Sun Yue, you have this idea, and I am very happy to be a teacher. Since you think so, let's take the exam together. You should also see if you have been recuperating at home during this period and have lost your studies."
Sun Yue: "I dare not slackew on the slightest."
"Okay, everyone starts to do the questions. The old rules are one question, and everyone writes different essays according to the learning progress. Today's topic is "Studying oneself and then joining the family."
Upon hearing this question, Sun Dan let out a long sigh. Fortunately, it was not a difficult problem.
On the other hand, Sun Hao was also happy. He probably thought to himself: It was indeed "The Great Learning".
This sentence comes from "The Great Learning", which means that cultivating oneself lies in correcting one's mentality. This sentence is a famous quote in "The Great Learning". Later generations said that gentlemen should cultivate themselves, manage their families, govern the country, and pacify the world comes from here. Confucius gave a detailed description in the book "The Great Learning".
Because it is a famous quote, countless students have had wonderful discussions from the Ming Dynasty to the late Qing Dynasty and have written countless articles. As for the question bank in Sun Tan's mind, there are at least twenty eight-legged essays on this topic.
In fact, from the imperial examination to the Qianlong period, the eight-legged essay questions were limited to the Four Books, and the limited text of the Four Books was basically used up by the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, and almost all chapters and sentences had ready-made models.
Since there are twenty sample essays on hand, all Sun Dan has to do is choose a suitable article and copy it.
The choice of this article is very particular. The degree should not be too high. If it is too high, it will be fake. I am afraid that Mr. Li will suspect that he was copying someone else. But all the sample essays he has been tested by time in history. He is about to lower his level, but I am afraid that he does not have the ability either.
If you write a random article to deal with it and cannot pass the top five, you will not be recommended by Mr. Li and be qualified for the county examination.
Thinking of this, Sun Dan felt a little embarrassed.
Just in a dilemma, Sun Hao, who had already prepared, had his eyes rolled rapidly, preparing to find an opportunity to copy a book.
