Chapter 274 Aunt Sun and her family return to Sun Village
As the days passed, Sun Shan didn't study much except for the few days when he came back. After that, he continued to study according to the school schedule.
Sun Shan secretly gave himself a thumbs up for his self-discipline.
Self-discipline is for better freedom, and self-discipline is for a better future.
Two days before the scholar's wedding, Aunt Sun and Uncle He brought their second cousin He Shuyu's family, Aunt Sun, Ming'er's family, Xiaoxue's family, and the two bachelors Qing'er and Guang'er back to Sunjia Village.
Aunt Sun hugged Sun Shan, calling him "darling" with all her heart, and said with pride, "Aunt's Shanzi is really amazing. He even passed the imperial examination and became a scholar. Aunt Sun is very happy."
He touched Sun Shan's head carefully, his eyes red.
Sun Shan's nose was sore. He supported his aunt and said excitedly, "Aunt, you are back. Are you happy that I passed the exam? I haven't seen you for a long time. Are you okay?"
In these years, since he started studying in the county town, Sun Shan has not been to the provincial government.
Aunt Sun was extremely busy with her eldest, second and third cousins getting married and having children, and she hadn't returned to Sunjia Village for a long time.
Sun Bomin could only meet the village chief once a year when he went to the city to sell oranges, mountain products, and flowers.
Sun Shan really hadn't seen Aunt Sun for a long time.
Looking at the silver threads in her hair, I felt inexplicably sad.
Uncle He held Sun Shan's little hand and said with satisfaction: "Our Shanzi is really amazing. He passed the examination to become a scholar at the age of 13, and he passed it on a temporary basis. Uncle and eldest aunt are so happy."
Sun Shan shook Uncle He's hand and said excitedly, "Uncle, I was able to pass the exam thanks to my cousin who collected information for me so carefully. It's a pity that my cousin couldn't come."
Sun Shan felt a little regretful because his eldest cousin He Shujin had left the province.
According to Aunt Sun, he went to study at Yuelu Academy in Huguang Province.
According to Sun Dagu, Guangya College and Yuelu College would exchange students every year and study in each other's academies to expand their knowledge and increase the admission rate of juren and jinshi.
Sun Shan roughly understood that his cousin He Shujin should have been an exchange student, studying at Yuelu Academy for one to two years.
He should come back after the provincial examination the year after next.
As for my eldest cousin’s wife, she is pregnant again and cannot come.
My third and fourth cousins are still studying.
When Uncle He heard what Sun Shan said, he nodded in his heart. Shanzi was grateful. It turned out that all the children taught by the Sun family were good.
He Shuyu, the second cousin, pulled Sun Shan over and said cheerfully, "Oh, Shanzi, I didn't expect you to pass the exam to become a scholar at such a young age. I can't believe it. Did you take some magic medicine to pass the exam? Shanzi, tell me, did you take some smart pills to pass the exam to become a scholar?"
He Shuyu's playful and lively personality did not change after he got married, had children, became a husband and a father.
Sun Shan was also happy and said with a smile: "Second cousin, my intelligence is innate, you can't envy me."
He even raised his eyes deliberately and looked at He Shuyu provocatively.
He Shuyu was so angry that she held Sun Shan's small body tightly, making him unable to move.
Aunt Sun patted He Shuyu on the shoulder and scolded him with a smile, "Brother Yu, don't tease your cousin. You're already a father, but you're still so frivolous and not steady at all. Look, even the boy is laughing at you."
Xiaozai is He Shuyu's son, who is 2 years old and is laughing with his hand covering his mouth.
Sun Shan picked up the boy with one hand and said happily, "Hey, you are so handsome, much more handsome than your father."
The little boy was picked up suddenly and was a little scared. He pointed at He Shuyu and He Shuyu's wife, Kong, and shouted, "Daddy, Mom, hug me."
Sun Shan had to coax and deceive him, and even gave him a piece of candy before he could calm him down.
The return of Aunt Sun and her family instantly made the Sun family extremely lively.
The happiest person was Mrs. Huang. She hadn't seen her eldest daughter for a long time and missed her very much.
The second happiest person was Uncle Sun, as his entire family was back.
Looking at his grandchildren who were having fun together, and then looking at Xiaoxue and his son-in-law who were already married, he felt even happier.
Ming Ge'er smiled and said, "Shan, congratulations. I never thought that our Sun family could also produce a scholar. Oh, I never thought of it."
Ming'er's younger brother Qing nodded and said, "Brother, I never thought that our Shanzi would pass the imperial examination at the age of 13. Haha, it's really amazing."
He turned to Sun Shan and said, "Shanzi, if you have any calligraphy or painting, I can help you frame it for free. Haha, I have already completed my apprenticeship and can do it independently."
Qing Ge'er has been learning painting mounting from others for many years after being introduced by his eldest cousin Liang Mengyao. He said he has become a master, and he has definitely become a master.
It’s a pity that Sun Shan’s handwriting is not very good and he has never learned to paint.
Sun Shan said with an embarrassed look: "Brother Qing, my handwriting is not good, let alone painting. What a pity, I can't use such a good picture framer like you."
Sun Shan discovered that he was really the type of person who studied hard.
Reading around the book makes me feel like a tool, without any literary air.
I can't write good calligraphy, I can't compose good poetry, and I'm even worse at painting. To sum up, I feel more and more that I'm useless.
Oh, he has no hobbies or interests at all, he is the legendary test-taker.
Qing Ge'er patted Sun Shan on the shoulder and said comfortingly, "You are so smart, you can start learning now. I have learned to mount calligraphy and paintings from many scholars. In fact, their calligraphy and paintings are not that good, but I just like to mount them, hehe."
After Qing Ge'er said this, all the Sun brothers present laughed.
Guang'er from the third uncle's family said happily, "Shanzi, it doesn't matter if you can't paint or write, as long as you can pass the exam to become a scholar. Hehe, our Sun family has a scholar, the only one in Sunjia Village and Mingyang Town. It's much better than the scholars who can write and paint."
Aunt Sun not only opened a dessert shop, but also opened a mountain product shop, specializing in mountain products from Guangnan Province.
The mountain products from Sunjia Village will also be sent there for sale.
Guangge'er works as a waiter in a mountain goods store.
Aunt Sun thought that her eldest cousin was a scholar, and whether he passed the imperial examination or not, he could use his connections to get a job in the government.
My second cousin inherited the family’s dessert shop.
It seems that my third cousin is not very good at studying, so if he doesn't study, he will go back to work in the mountain goods store.
As for my fourth cousin, he is doing well in his studies at the moment, and Aunt Sun wants to find a second scholar.
All parents will plan for their children's future. Aunt Sun and Uncle He are the same. While they are still able to work, they try their best to make arrangements for their sons.
This is to prevent families from fighting over the family property after their death, causing brothers to become enemies.
Xiaoxue and her husband also said a few words of congratulations to Sun Shan.
Sun Shan saw Xiaoxue wearing a jade hairpin on her head, silver bracelets on her hands, and wearing a straight-collared, straight-sleeved half-sleeve, a straight-collared, straight-sleeved long-sleeved short shirt, and a horse-faced skirt. She looked much more prosperous than when she was not married.
She got married not long ago and seems to be doing well.
Xiaoxue's clothes are probably like this, of course her headdress is definitely not comparable
Sun Shan moved between his eldest aunt Sun and his brothers and sisters, and because he was a scholar, he became the focus of the Sun family.
Everyone surrounded him and kept praising him.
Of course, the happiest person was Su. She was more excited to hear her son being praised than to hear herself being praised.
In front of Aunt Sun Er and Aunt Sun San, he held his head high, looking very arrogant.
Only in front of Aunt Sun and mother-in-law Huang, she was humble and behaved like a servant and returned to being the original Su.
