The next few days will be the happiest days that Sun Dan has lived since traveling to the Ming Dynasty.

Although he had a job as a flower worker in the Sun Mansion, the Sun family of Huichang Hou didn't seem to care whether he would go to work. In fact, the daily trimming of flowers, plants and trees in such a large garden can be handled by boys and maids, but they only come to find flower workers when they encounter really heavy and technical work, and the writing of this matter can be handled by the Mendun alone.

Moreover, for the Sun family, Sun Dan's ability to pass the imperial examination for scholars or even juren is more meaningful to the Sun family than to train a qualified gardener.

These days, the school has also been on holiday, so Sun Dan naturally didn't have to go back to the Sun Mansion to listen to the job, and just stayed leisurely in the county town waiting for the award.

After getting a lot of money, Sun Dan finally got rid of the breathless poverty. With his current wealth, he was considered a middle-aged and low-level in the county. In the 150th year of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the country was peaceful. From Xuande to Zhengde, for 80 years, the court implemented a policy of hiding wealth among the people, and the people were rich, and many rich people were also born in the local area. People like Sun Dan with dozens of taels of silver were not uncommon in Zouping. However, there was no consumption in the Ming Dynasty, and twenty-four taels of silver was enough to spend a while.

As a modern person, Sun Dan's consumption concept is still very different from that of the ancients. For example, he doesn't think that eating at home can save a lot of money. Time is money. If you have the time to cook by yourself, it's better to write a few words to earn some royalties, or review your homework and prepare for next month's homework exam.

Of course, the cooking is back to the mother. However, this little woman really doesn’t have much talent in cooking. The food she cooks is only about being cooked so hard that she can’t make her stomach worse.

He didn't want to see her work hard, so Sun Dan simply made meals in the restaurant every day.

Zhiniang and herself are not in good health and need big fish and meat to nourish them.

After a few days, Zhiniang's green face began to turn bloody and became much more beautiful.

What surprised Sun Dan the most was that Zhiniang's already full breasts seemed to have grown a little bigger.

When Zhitian asked the restaurant to deliver food, Zhiniang whispered to Sun Dan to save money at the beginning. But when Sun Dan said, "Money is earned, not saved." Zhiniang could only sigh silently and stop talking.

After all, she is a very traditional woman. She married her husband and followed her husband, and she could only let him do whatever her husband had to do.

When Sun Dan got the second manuscript fee, Zhiniang's sigh disappeared, and she replaced it with an unspeakable worry - the money came too easily, which made her a little scared.

The second episode of "Journey to the West" was printed with 10,000 copies based on the first episode. Even so, it was sold out as soon as it was printed.

Therefore, during the past few days of cultivation in the city, Sun Dan received another thirty taels of entry.

This time he learned his skills, so he said hello to the boss of the Shuxing in advance, but he only had to spend money.

As for the more than 20,000 copper coins I got some time ago, they could only be piled up in the corner of the wall and spent it slowly. The absence of a bank made Sun Dan feel a little annoyed. Spring has come, there is no snow, it just drizzle cannot stop. The copper coins began to rust, and the house was filled with the smell of copper. It was so vulgar.

Five days later, the results of the county examination came out and the results began to be released.

Sun Dan ran over and took a look.

In this county examination, the Sun family of Huichang Hou won the grand ceremony, and thirteen of the twenty candidates passed. Among them, Sun Hao won the sixth place, and Sun Gui was the fifth in high school. It was impossible to tell that this wretched boy had some skills.

As for Sun Dan, this is the first in high school.

Just kidding, Sun Dan’s beautiful calligraphy was copied into famous works by later generations. Two papers were thrown into the test papers of a group of students, just like a beacon in the dark night, how can they not stand out?

If he can't get first, that's a strange thing.

It is not surprising that Sun Dan, Sun Hao and Sun Gui passed the test. However, Sun Dan was amazed by the thirteen people in one breath. Although Mr. Li set the scope of the exam in advance and prepared one month in advance, according to convention, the magistrate should balance the local power and would specially admit some poor scholars to suppress the wealthy families.

But the Sun family is too powerful, and Li Meiting used to be a master of Taoism in Shaanxi Province. With the face of the Sun family and Mr. Li, many Sun family children who were not very outstanding and could not pass the exam successfully.

Sun Dan was slightly surprised. The human factors in the county examination and the prefecture examination were too great, but the sentence of Zhang Magistrate could determine the life and death of a candidate. If he was an enemy of Zhang Magistrate, no matter his grades were good, his articles were written in a bunch of flowers and he was a county magistrate in Zouping for one year, he would not have thought of moving forward on the road to imperial examinations. The magistrate was just a seventh-rank official, but his power had already become so great. It seems that only being an official is the right way.

According to the rules, Sun Dan still prepared a gift and granted five taels of silver to meet the mentor Zhang Magistrate.

County Magistrate Zhang was a very easy-going person. By the way, he chatted with him. After a few words of encouragement, he gave him another three taels of silver to Sun Dan and smiled and said, "Sun Dan, you can recite the Four Books and Five Classics in a month, and write good calligraphy and writing good writing. I am very pleased to find you, a young genius under my rule. You are talented in studying, so you must work hard in the future. You must be anxious to avoid arrogance and impetuousness. Throughout history, there are countless young geniuses, but not everyone can be a high school Jinshi. For example, your brother Zhang Cong, with you

I have a great memory in one year, I am so eccentric at the age of seven, I can memorize Confucian classics at the age of eight, and I can do a good job in writing at the age of nine. Therefore, I am not surprised that you can write essays in one month. But since my brother passed the imperial examination at the age of twelve, he went to Nanjing to take the Jinshi examination for thirty-five years in one go, and now he has been forty-seven, and he has failed many times. It can be seen that luck in the imperial examination is still very important. With your article, the government examination and the college examination are not a big problem, but it is hard to say that the provincial examination is the level of the provincial examination."

Sun Dan repeatedly said that he was right, saying that students must remember their teacher’s teachings and must have good results in the boy exam, so as to live up to their teacher’s expectations.

When Sun Dan heard from County Magistrate Zhang talk about his elder brother Zhang Cong, he felt aroused. This guy is a big shot. In real history, Zhang Cong was the chief minister of the cabinet in the early Jiajing Dynasty and one of the confidants of Emperor Jiajing in his early years.

Sun Dan now has a teacher-student relationship with Zhang Magistrate. If he is admitted to the imperial examination in the future, he will be considered an official of the Zhang Cong system.

This is what happens in the officialdom. When you touch the threshold of this circle, you will invisibly make your choices.

Zhang Cong's future is limitless, but now he is still an ordinary juren. Because he failed the exams many times, he has founded Luofeng Academy in Wenzhou, recruited more than 30 students, and exchanged letters with Mr. Wang Shouren.

If nothing unexpected happens, he should have been a Jinshi in the 16th year of Zhengde, that is, when Emperor Jiajing ascended the throne, and then ascended to the political arena.

If Sun Dan can successfully go to Beijing to participate in the imperial examination next year, he is likely to be in the same year as Zhang Cong.

With the relationship between Zhang County Magistrate, Sun Dan finally got in touch with the future imperial chief minister.

But there is another problem here. The Sun family of Huichang Hou is the current chief minister of the cabinet. In the future, Yang Tinghe and his son Yang Shen and Zhang Cong will be political enemies who will never die.

It must be very uncomfortable for Sun Dan to get caught in it.

However, now he is just a small school child, and it is not his turn to worry about the things that are so broad.

In the future, I can only take one step at a time.

If you can't pass the scholar or pass the imperial examination, you can't pass the imperial examination, and you will talk nothing.

Said goodbye from the magistrate Zhang Duan. After returning home, Sun Dan's vacation was over. He packed up his things and prepared to return to Sun's mansion.

It is now the fifth day of the third month, and the prefecture exam will start on March 25th. The thirteen school children who passed the Sunjia County must go to Jinan Prefecture to get to know the exam room immediately after the school gathers in the school and review their homework on the spot. There is a courtyard in the Sun family in Jinan, which is suitable for school children to live in.

Calculate it, there is not much time left.

The Sun family achieved good results in the county exam this time, especially the first place Sun Dan, which caused a sensation in the county town. Everyone was talking about this young genius who had just been able to read and write essays for a month, and he said that he was Wen Quxing and descended to earth, and was like the reincarnation of Master Jie.

Of course, when Sun Tan heard these gossips, he just smiled faintly and didn't take it to heart.

These words cannot be taken seriously. If you really have a big trouble in the future, you are afraid that these people will call themselves a useless Fang Zhongyong.
