Chapter 270 The County Magistrate Dotes on Him

When dinner was ready, Uncle Sun, Aunt Sun and De Ge'er arrived on time. The three of them were in high spirits and seemed to be having a great time chatting.

De Ge'er jumped up to Sun Shan and said happily, "Shanzi, you are amazing. You really passed the exam and became a scholar. Hahaha, I will be the scholar's brother in the future. Hahaha, I will be the scholar's housekeeper in the future."

Sun Shan gave him a cold and ruthless look and refused to speak to him.

De Ge'er didn't need Sun Shan to talk to him. He could ask and answer his own questions: "Shanzi, the whole Huangyang County knows you. The teacher always talks about you in the school, saying that all the students who graduated from Zheng's School were able to pass the examination and become scholars, which proves that our Zheng's School is no worse than other schools."

Sun Shan was embarrassed. He never thought Master Zheng was such a teacher. He wanted to use him as the spokesperson of the school to recruit more students.

Sun Shan wondered if he would be beaten to death if he asked Master Zheng for endorsement fees.

Uncle Sun crossed his legs and said to Huang: "Mother, our Shanzi has brought honor to Sunjia Village. Hehe, now everyone in the surrounding area knows that our Sunjia Village has produced a scholar, and he is the only one of his kind. They can't envy him enough."

When Huang heard this, she laughed and nodded without saying anything.

Aunt Sun San echoed, "Mother, our Shanzi passed the imperial examination and became a scholar. Our Sun family will be a farming and reading family in the future. Hehe, there is no family more powerful than ours in the surrounding area. Mother, I am so happy. Our descendants will have an easier time getting married in the future."

Huang was even happier when she heard this. She then shook her head and said, "Let's just say these things at home. Don't tell anyone, lest someone with ulterior motives hears and it's bad for Shanzi's reputation."

Uncle Sun didn't believe it, but Aunt Sun had learned to be smart and obeyed whatever her mother-in-law said.

If the head of the family talks back, the mother and son will not hold a grudge overnight. But if she, as the daughter-in-law, talks back, Aunt Sun will not let her go.

Aunt Sun rolled her eyes and looked at Sun Shan very "gently". She blinked and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, Shanzi is wearing a scholar's uniform, right? Oh, he is so handsome. There is no boy in the whole village who can compare to Shanzi."

Su and Aunt Sun didn't get along, but her words touched Su's heart. She said proudly, "That's for sure. Who else in the surrounding area can pass the imperial examination to become a scholar? But my Shanzi is different. He has been smart since he was young. Other children struggled to survive, but my Shanzi stayed at home obediently. He has been mature, steady and patient since he was young, so it's natural that he can pass the imperial examination to become a scholar."

Aunt Sun was very angry, but at the moment, Shanzi had the best future, and Su, as Shanzi's mother, must not be offended.

He said flatteringly: "Sister-in-law is right. Shanzi is different from others. I think this is called wisdom. That's why he is so good at studying and passed the imperial examination at such a young age. Oh, sister-in-law, you will enjoy a happy life in the future."

When Mrs. Su heard Aunt Sun continue to speak well of her, she looked at her with a little favor, but only for a moment.

Uncle Sun asked with concern: "Brother, have you written to sister to tell her that our Shanzi passed the exam and became a scholar?"

Uncle Sun thought that if the eldest sister knew that Shanzi had passed the imperial examination, she would definitely come to celebrate. Then she would also ask her daughter-in-law, son, and grandson to come back together.

Uncle Sun also misses his children and grandchildren at home.

Speaking of this, Huang asked anxiously: "Bomin, have you sent a letter? You must tell your elder sister about such a big happy event, hey, let her be happy."

Su was very proud and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise.

Her son Shanzi passed the imperial examination and became a scholar at the age of 13, and was much better than her eldest sister's son Jing'er.

Haha, when I think of this, my heart blossoms with joy.

Her son is indeed the smartest child in the world.

Of course, she wouldn't dare say these words even if she was beaten to death, she could just be happy in her heart.

Sun Shan was sweating profusely from the heat, and De Ge'er was very tactful and helped fan him.

Sun Shan said to Huang, "Grandma, don't worry. We have written to your aunt in Zhangzhou Prefecture. She should know that I have passed the imperial examination."

Sun Shan thought that it would be better to send the letter directly to Aunt Sun from Zhangzhou Prefecture instead of returning to Huangyang County to the escort agency.

There were more escorts from Zhangzhou Prefecture to Guangzhou Prefecture, so the letter reached Sun Dagu faster.

In the letter, Sun Shan recounted in detail his experience of the exam and expressed his gratitude to Aunt Sun and especially his eldest cousin.

Without the information provided by his eldest cousin, it would have been difficult for him to pass the imperial examination.

Sun Shan is a person who never forgets the person who dug the well. His eldest cousin is the noble person in his life.

As for the wedding banquet, this was not mentioned because Sun Boming had to choose the date.

Sun Boming's original words were: You must be very selective and pick the one-in-a-million day.

This day not only represents congratulations to Sun Shan for passing the imperial examination, but also carries the meaning of "sesame seeds blooming and rising step by step", hoping that Sun Shan can go further.

Sun Bomin became more and more superstitious, and believed that he had to find a master to calculate every step he took.

Sun Shan said he didn't care. As long as he was happy with small things, he would never compromise on big things.

When Huang heard that Sun Shan had sent the letter, she nodded happily.

Everyone ate and talked, mainly Sun Bomin talking, with Sun Shan supplementing his comments, and everyone listened with great interest.

Especially when they talked about stinky trumpet, Sun Shan couldn't eat anymore. He drank a bowl of chicken soup and stopped eating.

The others were completely unaware of Sun Shan's inner pain and were enjoying their meal.

Especially Xiao Guangzi, who monopolized two chicken legs, one for him and one for Sun Shan.

Sun Shan couldn't eat, so we gave him some food.

The little guy was gnawing on the food with his small teeth. Even though he was skinny and small, his stomach was quite big. He could eat a lot even after eating two chicken legs.

After dinner, it was already very late at night.

Sun Bomin proudly took out Sun Shan's student's hat and clothes, hairpin with flowers, and the 20 taels of silver given by the county magistrate for everyone to admire.

The whole family was even more excited.

De Ge'er's eyes were so bright that they blinded you. He touched the official silver excitedly and even planned to take a bite of it with his upper teeth.

Sun Bomin quickly snatched it away, wishing he could beat De Ge'er up. If he bit him, he would never be able to recover. How could he destroy the government's money so easily?

Uncle Sun and Aunt Sun picked up their weapons and started fighting. If he took a bite of the official silver, how could the Sun family show off in the future? What if the villagers thought that this was not official silver, but a prop for the Sun family to brag about?

After all, there is no official silver with teeth marks on it.

In the end, it was Sun Shan who saved him.

De Ge'er looked at Sun Shan with gratitude.

Sun Shan regretted saving him very much and wanted to take it back.

Yong Ge'er, whose temperament was completely different from Uncle Sun's, said enviously, "Uncle, this is the county magistrate's silver. It's so shiny and beautiful."

Sun Bomin raised his head high and said proudly, "That's right. Shanzi chatted with the county magistrate for the whole morning. The reason why we came back so late was because the county magistrate summoned Shanzi."

After hearing this, everyone looked at Sun Shan with even more admiration.

Shanzi from their family is a scholar who can talk to the county magistrate, and he is the only one of his kind in the surrounding area.

Sun Shan held Xiao Guangnu in his arms and looked at the chubby little girl babbling, his face full of black lines.

In the eyes of the Sun family, he, Sun Shan, has probably become the county magistrate's best friend, and the county magistrate dotes on him very much.
