Having received so many benefits and experienced so many things, to this day, even Sun Shusheng, who has been reading "The Son Does Not Say Strange Powers and Confuses the Gods", now vaguely understands what happened to him.
For the same reason, when he noticed that the strangeness in him disappeared, he quickly understood that he had become the ordinary poor scholar again.
The previous exams for scholars and successful candidates were all done by the person in the dream, and he was just a medium.
Now that the person in the dream is gone, I have returned to my original shape.
It's like a big dream.
"Brother Sun, are you saying that you feel that the luck in your body has dissipated?" Lu Yuan's face was full of shock, he did not expect such a result.
"Yes, it's over." Sun Siwen nodded calmly. Over the past few days, he had verified this through various examples, and he had already accepted it: "It is precisely because of this that I gave up the scientific examination at the right time."
Although these days, thanks to the help of the person in the dream, Sun Siwen feels that his knowledge has improved very quickly. Compared with before, he can even be said to be a completely different person.
But even so, with his current knowledge, he is at best an outstanding scholar.
With this little bit of knowledge, he can't even secure his current status as a scholar, let alone take the imperial examination.
And when I slowly delve into knowledge and gradually accumulate it to the point where I can pass the imperial examination, I don’t know how many years it will take, or even just a luxury hope.
Rather than relying on that illusory possibility, it would be better to simply give up our extravagant hopes at this time and instead serve as an official as a candidate.
Lu Yuan understood the reason and could understand this, and couldn't help but console him: "If you don't want to take the exam, don't take the exam. With Brother Sun's talent, even if he can recruit people to serve as officials, he can benefit a party and make the official fortune prosperous. Maybe it won't take a few years." , I’m going to call you Lord County Lord.”
Although the official career of Juren is not long-term, he can still reach the fourth or fifth rank and become a local magistrate.
Therefore, if things go well, Sun Siwen has a chance to become the head of a county and the county magistrate within ten years.
"Thank you for your good words from Brother Lu."
Sun Siwen smiled and nodded, and then said hopefully: "My grandfather, at the end of his official career, will be the prefect of a place. If I, the grandson, can achieve the position of prefect like my grandfather, I will live up to my ancestors.
When we meet under the underworld in the future, we can say it with dignity. "
Lu Yuan wished: "Brother Sun will definitely get what you want."
Sun Siwen waved his hand: "Forget it, let's not talk about this. Let's drink, drink. The appointment has not come down yet, and you and I still have time to get together as friends. When I am awarded the official, I will be an official in another country, and my life will be ups and downs. I want to When we meet again, I don’t know how many years or months it will take.”
In order to prevent officials from colluding with the local government, it has always been said that scholars should avoid serving as officials by not being responsible for their fellow villagers.
In other words, if Sun Siwen wanted to be an official, he could only be an official from other places, not an official in his own county.
After he is appointed, the new candidate will go somewhere else to start his official career.
By then, if Sun Siwen wants to return to his hometown, he will probably either be demoted and lose his official position, or he will retire and return to his hometown.
This farewell, for people in the world, really means a final reunion.
Seeing Sun Siwen being so sentimental, Lu Yuan laughed and said with relief: "It's nothing. Brother Sun has taken office and cannot leave at will. But I am alone and at ease."
After Brother Sun becomes an official, I will miss you that day, so just go and find him.
But Brother Sun, don't think it's annoying that I come frequently. "
Lu Yuan has long been yearning for the great mountains and rivers in this world and wants to visit them.
But now I feel that I am not strong enough and wandering around outside may be a bit dangerous, so I can bear this restlessness.
But now, his martial arts training is progressing very quickly. In less than two years, he should be able to reach the third-rate level in the world. Within five or six years, we can expect to be second-rate.
By then, Flowing Cloud Palm will be considered complete.
With this ability, as long as you don't cause trouble and travel around the world honestly, there shouldn't be much of a problem.
Sun Siwen was overjoyed when he heard this and said hurriedly: "No way, no way. It's a great thing that Brother Lu can come. How can I feel bored?"
Lu Yuan made a decision: "Then it's decided. When I have free time in the future, I will come and visit Brother Sun."
In this regard, the two made an agreement to get together in the future.
…
In the following days, Sun Siwen's family was full of people.
All the prominent people in the town crowded through the threshold to visit Xin Juren's home.
Even Xu Ce, who had alienated Sun Siwen after his previous visit, rushed up to him with a smile on his face. He no longer dared to call him "Brother Sun", but instead called him "Master Sun" with a respectful and humble expression. appearance.
Some dignitaries and literati in the county, after hearing that a new candidate had been elected in the county, either paid a visit in person or asked their servants to send gifts as a way of congratulations.
In the past, Shusheng Sun's family, which had only a small family, became a place that everyone flocked to just because of the addition of an official.
The harshness of the world and the reality of human nature are vividly displayed.
Sun Siwen spent more than half a month just to receive these visitors. He waited until the twelfth lunar month to finally get some rest.
Then he came to Lu Yuan to complain.
The plum grove outside the town was covered with snow, and some buds were already growing out of the bitter cold on the branches of the plum trees.
The two of them met in the forest, admiring the snowy plum blossoms while cooking and drinking wine.
"In the past, people always said that when you are poor in the downtown area, no one cares about you, and when you are rich in the mountains, you have distant relatives. Now I finally understand this."
Sun Siwen looked like he had seen through the world: "I won the imperial examination. All the classmates and contemporaries that I have never seen before, distant relatives that I have never heard of, and even "fellow townsmen" in the county all ran away in a swarm. Come here and talk to me about friendship.
What friendship do I have with them?
It was nothing more than seeing that I had succeeded in becoming successful and wanted to seek some benefits.
Fortunately, in addition to those poor relatives, the other gentry and wealthy families in the county gave me many ceremonial gifts.
Ling Ling finally came down and got three or four hundred taels of silver?
No wonder people always say that three years to clear the magistrate's office will cost you one hundred thousand snowflakes and silver. This world..."
Sun Siwen sighed.
He didn't know whether to be happy or angry about this phenomenon. He didn't even know whether he would become one of them someday.
Lu Yuan patted him on the shoulder: "Brother Sun, all you need to do is be yourself, what else can you do with so many other things?"
"Yeah, just be yourself."
Sun Siwen raised his head, looked at Lu Yuan, and said with a smile: "Actually, I have something to tell Brother Lu when we meet today. The appointment of the county government has been made. I have filled the post of academic magistrate of Changning County, Dongting County. From now on Ninth grade.
My term is over and I will join the job in early February next year. After the New Year, I will take office. "
The academic edict is in charge of the academic performance of students in a county. You can think of it as the county school principal. On top of the academic edict, there is also the post of teaching edict, the eighth grade, responsible for the academic affairs of the county's students, the education of folk customs, and the worship of Confucian temples and other responsibilities.
Xueyu is the subordinate and deputy of Jiaoyu, and he can be regarded as a real lowly official.
When Lu Yuan heard this, he was slightly stunned: "Dongting County?"
Dongting County is just west of Yuzhang County, and the two counties are adjacent. It's not too far away to work there, and overall it's a relatively good position.
This will make it easier for you to find each other and get together in Japan.
