Chapter 421: Dragging Zhou Miaomiao into an older girl

Sun Shan thought that Uncle Sun brought the Ganoderma lucidum to show off and share his happiness with people he knew.

Sun Shan said happily, "Uncle San, one is good enough. Don't be greedy. You can make a lot of money by selling it at He's Seafood Shop."

Uncle Sun rolled his eyes at Sun Shan again.

When I was a child, I was often looked down upon by Uncle Sun. I never expected that even after becoming a scholar, I would still be looked down upon by Uncle Sun.

Although I didn't see any discrimination in Uncle Sun's rolling eyes, but more of a sigh of disappointment, it still feels uncomfortable to be looked down upon.

Sun Shan couldn't understand why he was always looked down upon by his uncle Sun San.

Uncle Sun wrapped the Ganoderma lucidum in a fine silk scarf, closed his eyes, and pushed it in front of Sun Shan. He said in a very heavy tone, "Shanzi, take it and let grandma make you some soup. I've heard that the magic herb can not only prolong one's life, but also make one smarter. When grandma makes the soup, only you and grandma can drink it. No one else is allowed to drink it."

Sun Shan was stunned for a moment, staring at the tightly wrapped Ganoderma lucidum, then looked at Uncle Sun. At this moment, he was very moved.

Is this his Third Uncle Sun? Such a precious thing was given to him?

Sun Shan pushed the Ganoderma back and said in refusal, "Uncle San, we can't afford such an expensive thing. You should sell it in the shop. Uncle He will definitely not be greedy for your Ganoderma. Sell it for whatever you want."

Uncle Sun pushed the ganoderma to Sun Shan again and continued to roll his eyes at him: "Eat it if I give it to you. It's not like I don't have money to eat. Magic herbs are hard to come by, and it's hard to buy them back after you sell them. Anyway, I bought them back for 1 tael, so just treat it as the magic herbs worth 1 tael. Make some soup for you and grandma to drink."

Then Uncle Sun said sternly, "Shanzi, you drank my herbal soup, so you must do well in the exam. Humph, I want to have a good feast."

Then he ordered sternly: "Only you and grandma can drink it. No one else is allowed to drink it."

Then he continued, "Also, don't say that I gave you the fairy grass. Just say that you bought it from Changsha Prefecture. Your third aunt and three brothers don't know. If they knew, they would definitely have an opinion, understand?"

After hearing this, Sun Shan was even more afraid to ask for it. What if Aunt Sun found out, she would chase him and ask for it back.

The most important point is, if he fails the provincial examination, will Uncle Sun ask him to pay 100 taels of silver? He doesn't dare to take Uncle Sun's things easily.

Sun Shan waved his hands and said, "Uncle San, you should take it back. This thing is too precious. I don't want it."

Uncle Sun glared at Sun Shan and said unhappily, "You can't refuse a gift from an elder. Take it if it's given to you. These days, ask grandma to make fairy grass soup every day. When the provincial examination comes, I guarantee you'll pass. Haha, our Sun family will soon have a Sun Juren."

Uncle Sun thought of going out to collect mountain products and bragging to others about how there were scholars and Jinshi in his family.

But outsiders often say that the Jinshi comes from the He family, not their Sun family, so there is nothing to brag about.

He also said that the scholars in their Sun family were always scholars, not as advanced as Jinshi.

Uncle Sun was so angry that he started to boast and said that his scholar was too young and that was why he failed the imperial examination.

When you reach the age, it will be no problem for you to become a juren or jinshi.

He even boasted to others that his family had a successful candidate in the imperial examination this year, making people from all over the neighborhood envious and jealous.

When his friends heard Uncle Sun's bragging, they wanted to put a sack on him and beat him, but they were constrained by the fact that there were really talented scholars and Jinshi degree holders in his family.

Although the Jinshi was from the He family and was his biological nephew, he was still very useful.

Everyone was expecting their family's scholar to fail the imperial examination and make fun of him.

Uncle Sun was naturally aware of the gossip behind the scenes. He never blamed himself for exaggerating, but only blamed others for being jealous of him.

But the words had been spoken, and if Sun Shan failed the imperial examination, it would be very embarrassing.

Last year he got lucky and came across a mountain farmer selling mountain products. He saw a huge Ganoderma lucidum and bought it for one tael.

He ran to the provincial capital to ask He Dalang, only to find out that his Ganoderma lucidum was very valuable.

He wanted to sell it, but Uncle Sun heard that eating the fairy fungus could make one become immortal, and if his nephew Sun Shan ate it, passing the imperial examination would be a piece of cake.

The water he blew away before was not water, but facts.

That's why Uncle Sun spent a lot of money to give Ganoderma lucidum to Sun Shan to eat.

Of course, as children, they must also be filial to their parents. Uncle Sun cannot let Sun Shan enjoy the meal alone, so he has to eat it with Huang.

Sun Shan felt the heavy trust placed in him by his uncle, so he dared not accept it and quickly pushed it away: "Uncle, it's too expensive. I don't dare to accept it."

Uncle Sun didn't give Sun Shan any chance to refuse and ran to Huang's house with the Ganoderma lucidum.

Then he took out some of the cakes that Huang had hidden, took a bite, and said to Sun Shan, "I've already given them to Grandma. Shanzi, if you work hard these days, you will definitely pass the provincial examination."

After saying that, he ran back home happily.

Huang came out from the inner room and said happily, "Shanzi, this is a gift from your third uncle, just accept it. You must thank your third uncle in the future. Just now, your third uncle told me how to make soup most effectively. Grandma will make soup for you. Immortal grass is a good thing. Eating it will make people smarter. You are a scholar, so you need to eat it even more."

After a pause, he continued, "But don't believe it too much. It would be best if you can pass the exam, but it doesn't matter if you can't. Everyone in the surrounding area says you are a literary star. It's already a great achievement to pass the exam and become a scholar."

Huang continued, "You know about the fairy grass, I know about it, and your father and mother know about it. Don't tell anyone, okay?"

Huang must have been impressed by Uncle Sun's exaggeration of the efficacy of Ganoderma lucidum to the point that it was rare in the world.

Huang naturally accepted it and let Sun Shan eat it to increase his chances of passing the imperial examination.

Sun Shan had no choice but to nod and say, "Grandma, I know. I will thank my uncle very much."

Sun Shan didn't know the reason behind Uncle Sun's huge investment in him, but at this moment, he felt that he was Uncle Sun's true love.

Uncle Sun was reluctant to sell or eat such precious Ganoderma lucidum, and even ignored his wife and children.

Sun Shan was deeply moved.

As for failing the exam, that was a matter for the future. Anyway, if Uncle Sun asked him to pay back the money after he failed, he would pretend to know nothing. Uncle Sun did not write a contract and there was no evidence.

In the days that followed, I drank Ganoderma lucidum soup every few days, and Uncle Sun would come over from time to time to ask about the effects.

Sun Shan said quickly, "Uncle San, the herbal soup is very good. My mind is very clear now."

After hearing this, Uncle Sun left with satisfaction.

Sun Shan was speechless and could only tell a white lie. He didn't dare to say that there was no difference between drinking and not drinking.

Afterwards, Sun Shan went to visit his grandparents and his third aunt's family, but time had made people grow old, the children had grown up, the adults had grown old, but life remained the same.

The four sisters of the Sun family also came back to have a meal with Sun Shan.

Xiaoman still didn't give birth to a son, but three daughters. Looking at her sad face, Sun Shan was helpless.

The only thing to be thankful for is that the Hong family is still easy to talk to.

When Sun Xiaogu and her family came back, Sun Shan saw Zhou Miaomiao still in Zhou's house and felt strange. She was already 19 years old, why wasn't she married yet?

Later, Mrs. Su explained that not long after Zhou Miaomiao got engaged, her fiancé's father passed away, and she had to observe a three-year mourning period.

So Zhou Miaomiao became an older girl.

However, Zhou Miaomiao was extremely respectful to Sun Shan and performed the etiquette very properly. Soon, together with Sun Xiaogu, she made Huang and Sun Boming smile happily.

When Sun Shan saw the mother and daughter circling around Huang and Sun Boming, he finally realized that Huang and Sun Boming were looking at them through eighteen layers of filters.

He loved Sun Xiaogu and Zhou Miaomiao very much, and gave them the good things from his home without charging them.

Sun Xiaogu and Zhou Miaomiao are also wonderful people, the kind that can coax people to death without any regret.
