I, Sun Shan, and the Imperial Examination

Chapter 1221 Selling the Rice

Sun Shan couldn't bear to see Wang Jiaxing so proud, so he said, "How could you sell the rice from the granary?"

Wang Jiaxing asked in confusion: "Sir, if we don't sell it, are we going to carry it back? It must be so heavy."

The government distributed half a year's worth of stipends at a time. When Wang Jiaxing saw this, he immediately sold it so as not to take it home, which would have taken a lot of effort.

Sun Shan shook his head and said, "Your grandfather and father told me that when you distribute the granary rice, they will eat it every day, not only at home, but also with relatives and friends. They have never eaten the granary rice and don't know what it tastes like. Alas, I didn't expect you to sell the granary rice. Your grandfather and father can't eat it anymore."

Grandpa Wang and father Wang never said so, but Sun Shan saw that every time the government gave him a reward, Sun Boming treated it as a treasure and hid it well.

I believe that Father Wang and Grandpa Wang think the same way.

Wang Jiaxing always ate a few bites of the rice he received from the government government.

This is not the most important thing. What is important is to show off to relatives and friends. This is the rice from their family's pension and a reward from the government.

Say this to others and you will gain face.

The Wang family is not a family of scholars, and Wang Jiaxing is the first person in the family to achieve honors. Naturally, Grandpa Wang and Father Wang would try their best to show off and brag about it in front of all the relatives.

Even a simple and honest man like Sun Boming shows off from time to time, not to mention Grandpa Wang and Father Wang who are engaged in business.

After Sun Shan said this, Wang Jiaxing was stunned and his face turned pale, but then he reacted.

With a sad face, he said: "Sir, I...I actually forgot about this matter. My grandfather and father said a long time ago that they wanted to eat the food distributed by the government. They also said that they would eat it on New Year's Eve. And not only would they eat it by themselves, but also with relatives and friends.

Especially the children at home, if they are given a bite, maybe they can pass the imperial examination like me. Alas, I forgot such an important thing. "

Then he looked at Sun Shan, as if he wanted to cry but couldn't, and said, "Sir, what should I do? I have already failed the exam, and if my grandfather and father can't eat the government rice, they will be even more sad. Sir, what should I do?"

How would Sun Shan know what to do?

It's none of his business anyway, so it's better to just leave it alone.

Gui Ge'er interrupted and said, "Mr. Wang, how can you sell the rice from the government? This is extremely unlucky. This is the food ration given to you by the government. If you sell it, what if you also sell your talent?

Didn’t your grandfather and father say that if you let your relatives and friends eat the teeth, they will be blessed with your fortune and pass the imperial examination?

Alas, you sold the rice that the government gave you. You didn't even get to eat a single bite, and you might have sold your future luck in the exam. Alas, this is really wrong."

These words made Wang Jiaxing's face even paler.

It doesn’t matter whether Wang Jiaxing believes it or not. What’s most important is that Grandpa Wang and Father Wang believe it.

They usually believe in ghosts and gods, and if Wang Jiaxing sells it like this, they might really sell Cai Yun away.

Thinking of this, Wang Jiaxing suddenly grabbed Sun Shan's arm.

He asked anxiously, "Sir, what should I do? I have seen many students selling their stipend rice, and they are just following the trend. I don't think too much."

When it comes to feudal superstition, everyone in Sunjia Village is one of them, and Sun Dali is no exception.

He looked at Wang Jiaxing reproachfully, and said, "Mr. Wang, you are confused. You can sell it, but you must keep some for yourself. It is impossible to sell it all.

Alas, our ancestors did not have access to food from the government, but you let others have it. This is extremely unfilial.

Mr. Wang, your family is not short of the money, so why do you want to sell the rice in the granary?

Let me tell you, my old master even enshrined the rewards that my master received from the government in the ancestral hall. Look, my master passed all the exams.

He has become a high-ranking official at such a young age, and will have a prosperous career in the future. This is all thanks to the efforts of our Sun family ancestors, who have blessed our master with promotion and wealth. "

As he spoke, he covered his chest with his hands in grief, as if Wang Jiaxing had done something that enraged God and man.

Sun Shan next to him: ...

This is getting further and further away, isn't it?

I just mentioned it casually so that Wang Jiaxing wouldn't be too cocky.

Look, poor Yazi, being attacked by Guiger and Sun Dali, he must be very scared inside.

Wang Jiaxing grabbed Sun Shi's shoulders again and said in fear and trepidation, "Sir, what should I do? You must help me. I don't want to sell my luck in the exam."

Gui Ge'er and Sun Dali were right. The Wang family's ancestors must have made great efforts to make the examination go so smoothly. Why didn't they think of this when they were selling the rice from the government?

Sun Shan found his expression funny.

He said calmly, "It's easy. Just go find whoever you sold it to, return the money, and get the government rice back. This way, it's equivalent to not selling the government rice, and the Wang family's ancestors won't blame you."

After Sun Shan said this, Wang Jiaxing's eyes lit up.

Yes, absolutely right. This is a good idea.

Return the money and take back the rice from the government, and pretend nothing happened.

Wang Jiaxing looked at Sun Shan with gratitude and ran out in a hurry.

, before leaving, he said: "Sir, I want the rice back now. I will come to you later."

After saying this, he ran away, leading his servant boy who was also frightened like him.

The speed was so fast, as if there was gold to pick up ahead.

Sun Shan stared at the master and servant in amazement and shook his head: "Oh, Mr. Wang, what a fool. He is not steady at all."

Gui Ge'er and Sun Dali nodded and said, "That's right, he is such a spendthrift, he even dares to sell the rice in the granary, how dare he."

The fact is that selling the granary rice is normal. Do you really want to bring back a large cart of it?

What can’t you buy with money?

However, when Wang Jiaxing was led to a mysterious place by the Sun family, he became confused and terrified.

Sun Shan felt relieved when Wang Jiaxing was scared.

In the afternoon, Wang Jiaxing ran over panting and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

It's winter and I'm sweating. It's so tiring.

Gui Ge'er asked, "Mr. Wang, have you changed it back?"

The book boy beside him nodded hastily and said, "Fortunately, we went there early and got it back. But the shopkeeper was a scoundrel. He made us pay for the transportation and storage fees before he would exchange it for us. Alas, we spent an extra two taels of silver for nothing."

Wang Jiaxing said nonchalantly, "Just give it back. I'll pay more if I can."

Then he said to Sun Shan, "Luckily, the adults are here, so I was able to return the rice from the government sanction. Grandpa, Dad, and Big Brother can finally eat the rice from my government sanction. They are so happy, and everything is worth it."

Sun Shan was happy. Even though this guy had a bad temper, he was still a filial son.

Grandpa Wang and Father Wang’s love for him was not in vain.

Afterwards, Aunt Wang’s grandson sent someone to pick up Sun Shan for the banquet.

After being in Chenzhou Prefecture for so long, I can finally walk into a high-end teahouse and have a luxurious meal.
