Chapter 1225: The Jing Family Fight
Aunt Wang came back from a house fight and became alert instantly when she encountered such a thing.
Who exactly is this master?
Although Aunt Wang could not understand the dense annotations of Lord Sun, she knew the power of a Jinshi.
What's more, with the successful example of Wang Jiaxing, Aunt Wang highly praised Sun Shan's attitude towards knowledge.
He must be a scholar who is wholeheartedly focused on teaching. If he had no knowledge, how could he have promoted Wang Jiaxing to such a high position in such a short time?
The first thing Aunt Wang suspected was who hired the teacher?
Then I suspected the "praising to death" in the family fight.
There are only two possibilities when a teacher often praises a student of average knowledge.
One is that the teacher’s knowledge is average and he cannot tell whether his students are good or bad at studying.
One is to praise the student deliberately and overpraise him, causing him to lose himself in the constant praise and become a waste.
When she was a concubine, the aunt of the Wang family naturally hoped that the son born to the wife would be a waste.
But her identity is different now. She is the actual person in charge of the Wang family's rear house, so naturally she hopes that all the children in the family will have a bright future.
Aunt Wang couldn't help but feel angry, and at the same time she wanted to beat and scold her second son and daughter-in-law.
She had no idea how her own child was doing academically, yet she wrote back praising Yang'er's diligence and eagerness to learn, saying he would definitely make the list this time.
The grandmother of the Wang family was pleased to see her grandson, who was well-mannered, dressed in brocade and had a jade belt, and looked like a member of a noble family. She also thought that he looked like a man of learning.
Although I was unable to attend this time due to illness, I believe I will definitely be on the list next year.
Now seeing the comments given by Sun Shan, what list should I put it on?
It is a blessing to not be hurt by failing the exam.
Aunt Wang's heart was in turmoil, and she was thinking about conspiracy theories.
Her face remained calm as she consoled him, "Brother Yang, Lord Sun is right. The county and prefectural exams are relatively simple and can be easily passed. The academy exam is still a long way off, so it's too late to make up for it. Grandma will find a tutor for you in Chenzhou Prefecture and give you good instruction. I guarantee you'll pass."
After a pause, he added, "Your cousin will also come to Chenzhou Prefecture to study after the New Year. Let him tutor you. He is a student on government scholarship and is very knowledgeable. If he can teach you, I guarantee that your knowledge will improve."
Your uncle told me that Cousin Xing has quite a few exam questions, carefully collected by Lord Sun. I heard they were sourced from prestigious places like the capital, Jinling, and Yuelu Academy. Ask him to bring you a copy when the time comes.
As a woman, I don't know much about the imperial examinations, but your cousin has risen rapidly from the lower middle rank to the upper middle rank. He must have an extraordinary study method. Let him teach you."
He looked at Sun Shan's annotations again and said, "If there's anything you don't understand, you can always ask Master Sun. He's a Jinshi with great knowledge, and he's more than capable of teaching you. Don't worry, my dear, my son. Didn't Master Sun say you have every chance to rise to the top? There's still time for everything."
After Aunt Wang comforted her grandson, she sent him back.
He turned around in a rage, frightening the old lady beside him.
Aunt Wang gnashed her teeth and cursed, "Which bitch wants to destroy my grandson?"
After saying that, he threw the teacup in front of him heavily to the ground, and the ceramic cup instantly shattered into pieces.
The old nanny quickly comforted her, "Old lady, calm down. Young Master Yang is still young and can be taught well. The most important thing right now is to find a good teacher after the New Year to give Young Master Yang a good remedial lesson."
Ever since the old man passed away and the old lady of the Wang family became the old lord, the old lady has not been seen angry for a long time.
The kindness and gentleness he showed over the years made her forget the old lady's past "palace intrigues".
Alas, I didn’t expect these tricks to appear again.
The old lady eats more salt than rice, and she can see through these tricks at a glance.
Aunt Wang was relieved, covered her forehead, and said helplessly: "I wonder what will happen to the other grandchildren in the family? Alas, they will fight each other at home and eventually the family will be destroyed."
The old nanny glanced at Aunt Wang quietly and thought to herself: You fought just as well back then, but you were stronger and won.
Now it’s time for the sons to fight, and then the grandsons to fight. This fight will never end.
Old lady, you can’t control it. This world is a world of struggle.
People with the same father and mother fight with each other, let alone people with different fathers and mothers?
The old nanny secretly complained to herself, but said, "Old lady, why don't you write a letter and give him some pointers? Other things are easy to deal with, but this study must not be delayed. What if, besides Young Master Yang, other young masters are delayed by incompetent teachers? Whether our Jing family can continue to have talents, we must cultivate them from a young age. These things must be paid attention to."
Aunt Wang nodded and said, "You're right. We can fight for other things, but we can't let our grandchildren's studies be delayed. We must ruthlessly expose the evildoer behind the scenes and crush her to death. She dared to touch my grandchildren. She has no idea how high the heavens are. Humph!"
The old lady's heart was pounding.
The old lady spoke calmly, but she knew that this was the calm before the storm.
I won’t stop until one or two people die this time.
The old lady's hands were also stained with blood.
She is beautiful when she is young, but also cruel when she is young.
The old nanny felt sympathetic and had to serve the old lady trembling with fear.
How could Sun Shan know about the Jing family's "harem affairs"?
At this moment, I am checking the gift list with Butler Wang.
The meeting is over. Although we can nominally go home, we actually have to give gifts to our superiors.
In addition to County Magistrate Liu, the meeting also included the Associate Magistrate, the Assistant Magistrate, and so on.
In short, gifts should be given to superiors who have higher official positions than oneself or are of the same rank and with whom one has business dealings. If you add it up, there are quite a few people to give gifts to.
Sun Shan was very depressed.
The huge amount of money was slipping away bit by bit, and it was difficult to save any money.
Moreover, he had been an official for so long and had been living off his old capital. The little salary he received from the court was simply not enough to cover his expenses.
Butler Wang felt distressed when he saw the pile of gifts in front of him and had to deliver them one by one tomorrow.
Seeing the master's stinginess, he felt even more distressed. He comforted him and said, "Master, fortunately we have received many gifts, so this way, we won't lose too much."
It would have been fine if he hadn't said anything, but once he did, Sun Shan became depressed.
During the holidays, the gentry of Yuanlu sent gifts to Sun Shan, and he even wanted to sell it to supplement the family income.
They were sold, but not to subsidize the family, but to provide for Liu Zhifu and others.
Alas, after it was changed hands, it ended up being a lonely thing.
Sun Shan shook his head and said, "Pick up these gifts one by one according to the gift list and don't make any mistakes. Especially those given to Prefect Liu, they must be checked again and again." After all, he was the boss. If he gave the wrong gift, the consequences would be disastrous.
Butler Wang nodded repeatedly: "Master, I understand. I will check carefully to ensure that there are no mistakes."
Seeing so many gifts, Gui Ge'er was also very distressed and said: "Brother Shan, I used to think that you only made money as an official and never spent money. I didn't expect that after becoming an official, you would spend money all the time. I've been busy for a long time, but I'm so lucky!"
Sun Shan rolled his eyes.
Gui Ge'er is right. I hope you won't say it again next time.
He is already heartbroken, so don't remind him again.
