Chapter 445 Qian Yingyang is ill
Sun Shan looked speechlessly in the direction where the fat girl disappeared. She must have come out to eat secretly.
Fortunately, this is Hejia Village, and the neighbors on both sides are all members of the He family, so only a lady from a noble family like Fatty can come out and hang out.
If they lived together, He Pangniu would probably have to take a carriage to travel.
Sun Shan shook his head and continued wandering around.
Because Hejiacun is rich, its design is very beautiful.
There are small trees, flowing water, a lotus pond, and many kapok trees, osmanthus trees, etc. planted between the houses.
It is September now, the sweet-scented osmanthus is fragrant, and the whole village is filled with a refreshing aroma.
Sun Shan also saw several women picking osmanthus flowers, apparently preparing to make osmanthus cake.
As we walked, we came to Aunt Sun’s dessert shop.
The dessert shop is usually managed by my second cousin He Shuyu, while Aunt Sun and Uncle He take a back seat to help take care of their grandchildren.
When Sun Shan walked to the door, his second cousin He Shuyu immediately spotted him and said happily, "Shanzi, where are you going?"
Sun Shan walked in and said with a smile, "Just take a stroll. I've been sleeping for two days and I'm tired as hell."
He Shuyu looked at Sun Shan carefully, nodded and said, "You really need to walk around. It's not good to lie in bed all day."
Sun Bomin heard Sun Shan's voice and came out with the dishes he was washing. He found out that it was really Sun Shan and asked hurriedly, "Shanzi, why are you here? Are you looking for me?"
Sun Shan shook his head: "Dad, it's okay. I'm just taking a walk."
Seeing that Sun Shan was not looking for him, Sun Bomin ran back to wash the dishes.
He Shuyu pursed his lips and whispered, "Shanzi, I have to explain to you, I didn't ask my uncle to do the work, he was the one who rushed to do it, and I couldn't tell him not to do it."
He Shuyu was also helpless. He didn't dare to let Sun Boming work. However, Sun Boming couldn't sit idle and was stubborn. He had no choice but to let him work.
Sun Shan nodded in understanding: "Second cousin, I understand what you said. My father is such a person. He couldn't rest in Sunjia Village, and it's the same when he came to Hejia Village."
Sun Shan and He Shuyu looked at each other and laughed.
Sun Shan couldn't see Ming Ge'er, so he asked where he had gone.
I have been in Hejia Village for so long, but I have only met him a few times.
He Shuyu explained: "Ah Ming is the shopkeeper of the dessert shop in Dongcheng. He has been working here for so long and is familiar with the shop. I arranged for him to work there."
Aunt Sun opened two dessert shops, one in Hejia Village and the other in Dongcheng, Guiren District.
The shopkeeper Lai Fu from Dongcheng is going to retire and help Uncle He manage the fields, so the position is vacant and Ming Ge'er is going to take it.
Because my eldest cousin was a Jinshi, his land was tax-free up to 2000 acres, so Aunt Sun and Uncle He used their spare money to purchase a lot of land.
Shopkeeper Lai Fu has now been promoted to the chief steward of the second branch of the He family.
Sun Shan chatted with his second cousin for a while, drank a bowl of double-skin milk for free, and then returned to the He family's residence.
Gui Ge'er came back early. When he saw Sun Shan, he hurriedly said, "Brother Shan, where have you been? You are not well yet, so you can't walk around."
Then he said, "Brother Shan, Mr. Qian is sick, so he can't find you."
Sun Shan was shocked and asked anxiously, "How did you get sick? Is it serious?"
Gui Ge'er shook his head and said, "He got sick right after he left the Imperial Examination Hall. He had a high fever, diarrhea, and vomited from time to time. I just went to see him, and he was still lying in bed sick. Master Qian said he would come to play with you when he got better."
Sun Shan was stunned. He didn't expect Qian Yingyang's illness was so serious.
He usually looks full of energy, how come he got attacked this time?
Sun Shan looked at the sky. It was still early.
So he took some gifts and took Gui Ge'er to visit.
A few days before the provincial examination, Qian Yingyang lived in the Duanzhou Hometown Association Hall. After the examination, he returned to the Qian family residence in Guangzhou.
Sun Shan had been here once, so he knew the way.
When he saw Qian Yingyang, Sun Shan's mouth turned into an "o" shape.
He asked in surprise: "Yingyang, how did you become like this?"
Before the provincial examination, Qian Yingyang's face was still a little chubby, and his body was also white and fleshy. After the provincial examination, Qian Yingyang's face became sunken, and his cheekbones, which were originally low, became high. And his whole body seemed to have shrunk and became very thin.
Judging from Qian Yingyang's appearance, he probably lost 20 pounds.
When Qian Yingyang saw Sun Shan, he uttered with difficulty: "Ashan, you are here."
There should be tears in the eyes, but the eyes are too small, so Sun Shan is not sure.
Sun Shan touched his hand, which was dry and shriveled. He did not expect that his hand had also become thinner. He asked in confusion, "Ying Yang, what is wrong with you? I haven't seen you for nine days, how come you have lost so much weight?"
Qian Yingyang lay on the bed, trying hard to open his eyes wide, but he couldn't.
He said in a very aggrieved tone: "Ashan, I don't know why I became like this. I was fine before the provincial examination, but I was locked up in the Imperial Examination Hall for nine days, and when I came out I was like this. Ashan, I'm in such a hard time, am I going to die?"
Qian Wu, the bookboy next to him, said distressedly, "Master Sun, my master is so pitiful. He used all his strength to climb out. After he came out, he had a high fever, cold sweats, stomachache, diarrhea, and nightmares from time to time. My master has been lying in bed for two days in a row and can't get up."
Qian Wu truly loves Qian Yingyang, and he began to shed sad tears as he spoke.
Sun Shan didn't expect Qian Ying to be so serious, and asked quickly: "Yingyang, why are you like this? You have taken the provincial examination once before. I thought you would be much better with your experience."
Qian Yingyang said aggrievedly, "I don't know either. The first time I passed the exam, I was able to move freely, but this time, my health is not good. Ah Shan, if I can't make it, what will happen to my mother? What will happen to my wife? What will happen to the baby in my belly?"
The more Qian Yingyang thought about it, the more scared he became. The women in the Qian family couldn't live without him.
Because his father is unreliable.
Sun Shan quickly comforted him, saying, "Yingyang, don't worry, you'll be fine. From your face, I can tell you're destined to be rich and powerful. You'll be very rich and powerful in this life."
In fact, Sun Shan has been able to read fortunes to some extent since he learned the "Book of Changes".
But in this matter, those who believe it believe it very much, and those who don't believe it don't believe it at all. Believe it or not is up to fate.
Sun Shan looked at Qian Yingyang's fortune and found it to be ordinary, not a destiny of great wealth and honor. Sun Shan was lying to comfort Qian Yingyang.
Sure enough, Qian Yingyang perked up, his eyes lit up, and he said with joy: "Ashan, is everything you said true? I will be rich and powerful in the future? You didn't lie to me, did you?"
Master Qian Wu, the book boy, asked anxiously, "Master Sun, is my master really destined to be rich and noble? That's great. The master will surely have good fortune in the future after surviving this disaster."
For Sun Shan, lying is as easy as eating lettuce.
He nodded seriously and said, "Yes, that's what I saw. Yingyang, get well soon, you will enjoy a happy life in the second half of your life."
Don’t blame Qian Yingyang for being superstitious. There is no one in Guangnan who is not superstitious.
