Chapter 450
"Crack!" With a sound, the wine jar in Ma Quan's hand fell to the ground.

Tan Tuo and Fang Wei also opened their mouths wide, staring blankly at the ink stains on the wall.

"Sun Dan from the East China Sea is here for a visit."

What could be more earth-shattering and shocking than this sentence?
From the shattered wine jars, red liquor burst out, gurgling along the floor, and instantly converging into a stream, which flooded to everyone's feet.

Feeling the coldness of their toes, the three of them woke up.

Ma Quan's loud voice rang out again, with great surprise in it: "You are Sun Dan and Sun Jingyuan, are you really?" He had heard that Sun Dan had come to Huai'an to preside over the county examination in Suining.Huainan scholars respect and fear this world-leading talented scholar and famous scholar, and are proud that he can come to Huai'an.

It's a pity that Ma Quanhe Tantuo is no more than a commoner. It is impossible for them to meet someone like Sun Dan.

Tan Tuo also yelled: "Sun Dan, Sun Jingyuan!"

The two bowed to the ground at the same time.

And Fang Wei sat there blankly, barely able to breathe.She has always wanted to find Sun Dan, but she never thought that the ordinary young man who had missed on the street before was the famous Sun Dan.It's not that she didn't think about the circumstances under which she would meet Sun Dan before. According to her expectation, as soon as she saw Sun Dan, she should immediately go forward to declare her identity, and then blast Ganbida into the Suining River Di reported everything one by one.But for some reason, at this moment, she seemed to be paralyzed, unable to think of anything, unable to do anything.

Sun Dan gave a long laugh, helped Ma Quan and Tan Tuo up, and said, "I have just heard the conversation between the three of you, talking about the song "Laoshan Song" written by Sun Dan when he was in Shandong some time ago. Brother Ma Brother He Tan didn't believe Brother Fang's words, and said that this poem was an old work from the Tang Dynasty, so that he doubted Brother Fang's character. Sun Dan couldn't see it, so he simply came here to explain, and please don't blame Brother Fang by mistake."

Ma Quan and Tan Tuo hurriedly said: "It turned out that Mr. Jingyuan did it. The styles of Mr. Jingyuan's poems are so varied, it's really not easy to see. We are wrong to blame Brother Fang."

After finishing speaking, the two bowed their hands to Fang Wei again and again to make amends. Fang Wei felt sore, thinking of his father and seventh uncle who died, tears kept falling down.Thinking of the responsibilities on her shoulders, she couldn't help but choked up and said, "Master Sun."

Sun Dan smiled, and only said to Ma and Tan, "Since little brother Fang has no problems with his character and morality, how about the two of you being his guarantors and letting him participate in the county examination in Suining County? "

Both Ma Quan and Tan Tuojian Sun Dan had spoken, and naturally replied respectfully: "Of course, of course, speaking of which, we are also from Suining. People from our hometown need a guarantor to take the exam. Of course, we are bound to do so."

Fang Wei is still crying. In fact, as long as he can see Sun Dan and tell him his father's grievances, it doesn't matter whether he takes the imperial examination or not: "Master Sun..."

Sun Dan didn't notice Fang Wei's strangeness, he thought Fang Wei was too excited to speak because he saw him.In fact, in the past few years, he has also gotten used to being admired by scholars all over the world.He cupped his hands towards Ma and Tan again: "By the way, Brother Tan, Brother Ma, since both of you have studied and can write essays, and you haven't taken the exam, why don't you also take the county exam in Suining?" .”

Ma Quan and Tan Tuo didn't expect Sun Dan to let them take the exam, they were a little stunned and didn't know what to say.

Sun Dan smiled and said: "Looking at the way you speak and behave, you are also a person with great knowledge. Sun Dan has little talent and learning, but he feels a little ashamed to be an examiner in Jinke County. Why, you two don't like Sun Dan's knowledge, and don't want to pay homage to him. Are you under my school?" According to the rules of the examination room, as soon as Sun Dan presided over the county examination, the two of them passed by by chance and became Sun Dan's students in name.

Tan Tuo and Ma Quan glanced at each other, and they both saw surprises in each other's eyes.In fact, the county examination is not very strict. In many cases, it is just a word from the county magistrate, and the candidates are allowed to pass.For things like the imperial examination, the boy's exam is just for show, but the real difficulty is the test of talent.

Seeing what Sun Dan meant, as long as they took the exam, they would definitely pass and be his students.

Even if you don't get a good reputation in the future, think about it, if you become Sun Dan's student, no matter where you go in the future, you will get great convenience.Sun Dan will be a cabinet member in the future. With such a teacher around, and the two of them can come and go freely on the Grand Canal, which official would dare to trouble them?
These two are shrewd people who can run boats and do business on the Grand Canal, so why don't they know the joints.

Sun Dan hadn't realized this yet, so in order to impress the two of them, he laughed and said, "Just now I also heard that the merchant ships of the two of you stopped at Huai'an and couldn't go north because they didn't have a guide. The people in the yamen are all busy with disaster relief, so it is possible that no one is taking care of the affairs of the yamen. In this way, I am familiar with the people in the water transport yamen, and I will write to ask for you in a few days."

Ma Quan and Tan Tuo were overjoyed, and quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Thank you, sir, thank you, sir!"

"My lord..." Fang Wei was still crying, giving people a feeling of being too excited.

Sun Dan smiled at him and nodded, helped Ma Tan and the two of them up, and said, "Wait for the three of you to go to the Xuedao Yamen to sign up, and someone will arrange food and lodging for you there."

After finishing speaking, he laughed loudly and walked away under Han Yue's guard.

"It really is Sun Jingyuan!"

"What a celebrity!" Tan Tuo was also very excited: "How lucky I am to be able to meet Sun Jingyuan and sing with him in poetry and wine!"

Only then did Fang Wei remember that he was so busy crying just now that he didn't have a word with Sun Dan.Feeling anxious, tears flowed: "Master Sun, Master Sun." He was about to catch up.

Ma Quan grabbed her by the sleeve: "Brother Fang, I really blamed you just now. Let's go to Xuedao Yamen to sign up."

"I won't take the exam, I won't take the exam!" Fang Wei yelled, "I want to see Master Sun."

Tan Tuo smiled and said, "It's easy to meet Mr. Sun. Tomorrow is the county examination. Mr. Sun is the examiner. We'll see you then. Speaking of which, Brother Fang, with your knowledge and ours, we can pass the test no matter what. At that time, we will worship under Sun Jingyuan together, you and I will be classmates."

Ma Quan also laughed loudly: "Brother Fang, let's go."

Fang Weiyi thought, that's right, as long as he arrives at the Xuedao Yamen and takes the exam, he will be able to meet Sun Dan.If you search rashly now, you don't know where you can find Sun Dan. In your own capacity, Sun Dan's concierge will never let her in.

So, she had no choice but to wipe away her tears and go with Ma and Tan.There is free food and lodging at Xuedao Yamen, not to mention the good food, the accommodation conditions are very good, and they are all independent rooms, which solved Fang Wei's urgent needs.
