Chapter 466 Returning Home After Passing the Imperial Examination
While the Sunjia Village was immersed in the joyous event of Sun Shan's success in the imperial examination, Sun Shan, Sun Bomin and Su Dagu were shopping frantically.
Aunt Sun took several pieces of medium to high-quality cloth and said with a smile, "Take these back and make two sets of clothes for the family. Shanzi has passed the imperial examination, and we are going to hold a banquet for the candidates, so everyone should wear nice clothes."
Sun Bomin thought so too. He tugged at his old clothes and said embarrassedly, "Sister is right. We must make two sets of decent clothes to avoid being disrespectful. Shanzi is now a juren, so he should pay more attention to etiquette."
Sun Shan didn't care.
Although people always respect the clothes before the person, we should still live our lives as usual.
Sun Boming was wearing a cotton coat, which was better than most people, and no one would say anything.
Aunt Sun pulled Sun Shan over again and tried to measure his body with the cloth.
Sun Shan quickly refused: "Aunt, I have enough clothes, no need to make them."
I had made several sets before the provincial examination, several sets after the examination, and several more sets overnight after passing the exam.
Sun Shan discovered that he had a lot of clothes, and he never wore the same ones for half a month.
At the same time, he also discovered that Aunt Sun liked to make clothes for him, whether when he was a child or when he grew up.
Aunt Sun ignored Sun Shan and continued to measure the cloth on his body. She said with a smile, "Silly boy, I am preparing to make you winter clothes. You are going to Beijing to take the imperial examination soon, and it will be very cold there. You need to make two sets of thick cotton-padded clothes."
Sun Shan continued to refuse and said, "Aunt, I have thick cotton clothes. I brought them back from my study in Changsha Prefecture. They are still wearable."
Aunt Sun quickly shook her head and said, "Those were the clothes you wore when you were a scholar. Now that you are a juren, you should change into something different. Listen to Aunt Sun and bring a few more sets of clothes with you to Beijing. It's very cold there."
After my eldest cousin He Shujin passed the imperial examination and became a Jinshi, he studied in the Hanlin Academy. Aunt Sun and Uncle He accompanied him to Beijing.
Aunt Sun and Uncle He first helped to buy the house, and then purchased the necessities of the home. After seeing that everything was arranged, they let my cousin's wife and grandchildren stay, and the couple returned to Guangzhou.
My eldest cousin and his wife tried to persuade them to stay, but Aunt Sun and Uncle He were not willing to stay in the capital.
There were many industries in Hejia Village that needed to be taken care of, so the couple ran back to Guangzhou Prefecture in a flash.
Aunt Sun lived in the capital for some time and knew the climate there.
It's cold, really cold. So since Sun Shan is going to Beijing to take the exam this time, we have to make him a few more sets of warm clothes.
Aunt Sun said to Sun Bomin, "Brother, go back to Sunjia Village, hold the banquet, and come here quickly. Guangzhou is too far from Shangjing, so we must leave early. I will help Shanzi pack his things for Shangjing in Fucheng, you can bring a few more people down to accompany Shanzi to Beijing."
For this time's banquet for the successful candidates, Aunt Sun did not plan to return to Sunjia Village. She stayed in the provincial capital.
First, to help Sun Shan pack his luggage for going to Beijing, and second, to help Sun Shan pack his things for his engagement with Yun Jie'er.
She just needs to get things done and the Sun family can just provide a tool man, Sun Shan.
Seeing how resolute Aunt Sun was, Sun Shan knew it was useless to say no, so he nodded and said, "Aunt, thank you for your hard work."
Aunt Sun laughed and scolded: "Silly boy, these are just trivial matters, it's not hard at all."
Sun Shan, Sun Dagu and Sun Boming walked around, stopped and bought things.
The next day after buying everything, we gathered at Zeng’s Escort Agency early in the morning.
This time, the second cousin He Shuyu and his son came to the banquet on behalf of the He family, so the father and son accompanied Sun Shan and Sun Boming back to Huangyang County.
The fat He Shuqiang also wanted to follow, but Sun Shan said coldly: "Brother Qiang, I am a juren, and you are still a tongsheng. Aren't you ashamed?"
These words hurt He Shuqiang so much that he regretted bringing Sun Shan and He Banyun together at that moment.
He went to He Banyun to complain, but the older sister, who was an outgoing girl, said in agreement, "Brother, Shan is right. You are the same age as Shan, but Shan is a scholar, and you are still a commoner. If I were you, I would be extremely ashamed."
He Banyun muttered, "If Shan and I have a child in the future, it will be so embarrassing to have a white uncle. Brother, you are so embarrassing."
When saying this, He Banyun's round face turned red again and again, and he felt embarrassed.
If Sun Shan gave He Shuqiang 10 critical points, then He Banyun would give him 1000 million critical points. Often the damage done to family members is the most fatal.
Sun Shan and his companions took a horse-drawn carriage and slowly came to the escort agency to meet up.
The one who escorted the convoy this time was the old acquaintance Zhu Biaotou. When fellow villagers met, their eyes were filled with tears.
Zhu Biaotou seemed unusually excited: "Master Sun, you are here?"
Sun Shan's mouth twitched, and he said with a smile: "Boss Zhu, just call me Ah Shan. We are old acquaintances, there is no need to be so formal."
Sun Shan never thought that he would become a young master before he turned 20. The world was changing too fast and he had not yet adapted to it.
How could Zhu Biaotou really dare to call Sun Shan "Ashan"? It was just Mr. Sun's polite words and should not be taken seriously.
Zhu Biaotou has been in the martial arts world for many years and knows what the rules are.
After everyone greeted each other, they packed up and set off.
Gui Ge'er was driving the carriage in front, and Sun Shan, Sun Bomin, He Shuyu, and Qiangzi got on the carriage.
As for the things you bought, you have to pay the escort agency to help transport them.
Sun Shan hugged Xiaozi and asked with a smile, "Xiaozi, do you like riding in a carriage?"
The boy nodded, his eyes sparkling as he said, "I like it. But Uncle Shan, I prefer driving a horse-drawn carriage."
This made everyone laugh. This boy looked short and pointed, but he was very naughty. He loved to fool around and jump around.
A few days ago, He Shuyu was teaching Gui Ge'er how to drive a horse-drawn carriage. This kid ran over and sneaked onto the carriage while the adults were not paying attention, and learned how to drive from He Shuyu.
It turned out that the boy could indeed drive the carriage, but he could not stop it, and he held the reins and cried loudly.
When the adults heard the crying and saw this scene, they were scared out of their wits.
After rescuing the boy.
My second cousin and his wife immediately played a mixed doubles game. Even Aunt Sun and Uncle He said that they played well. If they were not taught a lesson, the boy would be naughty to the extreme.
He Shuyu often complained that among all the boys in the He family, the youngest was the most timid, the most mischievous, and the one who made people want to beat him up the most.
Sun Bomin touched the little head of the boy and said with a smile: "Bo, you can't be so naughty. You are still young, you are not allowed to drive the carriage without permission."
The boy said nonchalantly, "I see, uncle."
I was thinking that I had to wait until the adults were away before I could drive the carriage. If I was seen by them, I would definitely be beaten.
Gui Ge'er was concentrating on driving the carriage and had difficulty driving it when it came to a slope.
He Shuyu sat in front, guiding him, and said approvingly: "Gui'er, you have learned well. You learned it in two or three days. Yes, that's it. You have to learn it if you want to work with Shanzi. My eldest brother's servant knows everything, you have to do the same."
He Shujin's servant was the son of Lai Fu, the steward of the second house.
Gui Geer nodded seriously and said, "Cousin Yu, I understand. I will definitely study hard."
He was thinking that when he accompanied Sun Shan to Beijing for the imperial examination, he would ask his cousin Jin's servant for advice on how to be a good servant to a Jinshi candidate.
Gui Ge'er believed that his brother Shan would definitely pass the imperial examination and become a Jinshi.
