Chapter 470: Huang Xiucai fought with Hong Xiucai for so many years, and Huang Xiucai was completely
Sun Shan and his companions returned to Sun's residence and gave the 20 taels of silver they had received from the government office to Sun Boming.
Sun Bomin was overjoyed, grinning from ear to ear as he said, "Shanzi, you won 20 taels for passing the last college entrance examination, and 20 taels for passing the provincial examination this time. Haha, when you pass the imperial examination, you will also win 20 taels. Haha, Dad will keep it well and place it in front of the Sun family ancestors for worship. This is government money, and not many people get it."
Judging from Sun Boming's tone, passing the imperial examination seems as easy as eating lettuce.
Guyu was also very happy. He took the silvery 20 taels and said happily, "Father, the government's silver is different. It's especially shiny."
When Xiaoguang and Xiaoguang saw the shiny silver, they wanted to play with it. They pestered Guyu and said, "Mother/cousin, give it to me, give it to me..."
How could Guyu give it to two little brats? But Xiaozai and Guangzai were clinging to him tightly.
Boy, I dare not scold or hit you in Guyu.
Guangzai was much more unlucky.
Guyu slapped his skinny butt and said rudely, "This belongs to my uncle. The official gave it to my uncle. You are not allowed to take it or play with it."
Guangzai felt aggrieved. He didn't say he wanted it. He just wanted to play with it. And why did you only hit him and not Guangzai?
Xiaozai was a smart boy. When he saw his cousin was angry, he immediately covered his butt and hurried to Sun Boming, asking Sun Boming to hold him and protect him.
Xiaozai has always understood that among all the people present, his uncle is the kindest, most easy to talk to, and the one who loves him the most.
He didn't dare ask his father for help, because his father would only help the evil and beat him up.
The corner of Sun Shan's mouth twitched as he found that his elder sister Guyu was becoming more and more violent. The gentle and virtuous image in his mind was slowly disappearing, and she was becoming more and more like a grumpy middle-aged woman.
Sun Shan looked at Guangzai pitifully and said, "If you don't go to hell, who will? I would rather die than let my fellow Taoist die."
Xiao Guangzi, you'd better go and suffer.
Sun Shan came back and had lunch, and in the afternoon he took Gui Ge'er to find Hong Xiucai.
As for the kid De Ge'er, he ran to Mr. Huang to play, saying that he wanted to tell Mr. Huang that Sun Shan was back.
Sun Shan didn't believe such a bad excuse. Besides, he and Huang Xiucai were not that close. He must have taken the opportunity to visit his fiancée.
The Sun residence was not far from the Hong Family Academy. Sun Shan walked slowly along the familiar street, feeling quite moved.
Being recognized on the way, Sun Shan had to stop and greet the villagers enthusiastically.
It took twice as long as usual to cover such a short distance. It seems that being too popular is not a good thing.
Sun Shan stopped at the familiar door and looked at the words "Hong's House" and felt as if he was in another world.
It seemed like he had been away from here for a long time, yet it seemed like he had never left.
It was all so familiar and so exciting.
Gui Ge'er went forward and knocked on the door. After waiting for a while, a voice came from inside: "I'm here, wait a moment."
When the door opened, it was still my old acquaintance Uncle Hong.
Sun Shan was the first to greet him: "Uncle Hong, how are you? Is everything going well?"
Uncle Hong looked at Sun Shan in surprise. After confirming that it was Sun Shan, he said excitedly, "Shanzi, no, Mr. Sun, you are back?"
Sun Shan smiled, supported Uncle Hong, took the lead and led Uncle Hong into the house.
Gui Ge'er followed him in, carrying Guangzhou specialties, and turned around to considerately close the door.
Sun Shan quickly shook his head and said, "Uncle Hong, just call me Shanzi. Mr. Sun is a name used by outsiders."
The word "outsider" was used to refer to Uncle Hong as one of his own. Uncle Hong was overjoyed and said cheerfully, "Okay, I'll call you Shanzi."
Looking at Sun Shan carefully, I found that he was becoming more and more handsome. What was going on?
Uncle Hong said with relief: "Shanzi, when the teacher heard that you had passed the imperial examination, he was so happy that he couldn't sleep for three days and three nights, and kept asking when you would come back."
Sun Shan was also amused when he heard Uncle Hong say this, and said with a smile: "After the results were announced, I had to attend the Deer Singing Feast, so I came back a little late. I came back yesterday evening and went to the government office early this morning. I will come to the school as soon as I have time. How are you doing recently, Master?"
Uncle Hong said quickly, "Good, everything is fine. It's even better after hearing that you passed the imperial examination. Now the teacher walks with the wind, and people call him the Juren teacher wherever he goes."
Of course, when Mr. Huang from the Huang's School next door heard about it, he became so angry that he fell ill and couldn't get out of bed for several days.
Poor Mr. Huang, he couldn’t even teach a scholar in all these years, let alone a juren.
Huang Xiucai fought with Hong Xiucai for so many years, but Huang Xiucai was completely defeated.
But Huang Xiucai was also smart. Seeing that he could not defeat Hong Xiucai, he decided to take a different approach and become a relative of the Juren family.
By finding his niece to be related to the Sun family by marriage, it seems that Huang Xiucai has a very close relationship with the Sun family.
Uncle Hong looked at Sun Shan affectionately. It was a pity that Mr. Hong had no daughter, otherwise he would have betrothed her to Sun Shan long ago.
There was no other choice but to find someone from the clan to become a relative of the Sun family.
Sun Shan had no idea that Uncle Hong was thinking so much. He was happy to hear that Scholar Hong was doing well. He smiled and said, "Uncle Hong, my father has just returned and is very busy. He said he would talk to you when he has time. He brought a lot of cakes from Guangzhou this time so you can have a taste."
Uncle Hong and Sun Boming have always gotten along well. Every time Sun Boming comes to Huangyang County, he always talks to Uncle Hong.
After hearing this, Uncle Hong was even happier: "Okay, let's talk about it after your father is done with his work. He has a lot of things to do when he just got back. You even brought me something from the city. Haha, you are so polite. I must taste it. This thing from the city was sent to me by the Juren Master. I like it very much."
Sun Shan and Uncle Hong walked into the hallway. Uncle Hong suddenly thought of something and broke free from Sun Shan's support. He said anxiously, "I'll go in and inform the teacher. You can go sit in the living room. You know the Hong family better than I do. We're family. Don't be polite."
After saying this, he ran away as fast as the wind, and his skills were almost as fast as those of a young man.
Sun Shan shook his head and walked in alone.
He was so familiar with the Hong family that he would even go into the backyard.
Since he became Hong Xiucai's favorite student, his wife treated him even better. She often let him into the backyard and made soup for him, always saying: "Drink more delicious soup, replenish your body, and nourish yourself. You are too thin, you must gain weight."
When Sun Shan thought of this scene, he couldn't help but smile.
Suddenly, a voice came from inside: "Mr. Sun, what are you laughing at? Are you laughing so hard because you passed the imperial examination?"
The visitor was none other than Scholar Hong. Sun Shan quickly stood up, bowed and greeted him, and said cheerfully, "Master, you are right. I am so happy to think that I have passed the imperial examination before I was 20 years old. I am so young and full of vigor and vitality. I can't help laughing. Haha."
He even laughed a few times in a pretentious manner, and then asked, "Master, I passed the imperial examination. Are you happy? I heard from others that you laugh often, and the number of times you laugh is no less than mine."
Hong Xiucai was so angry that he laughed and scolded: "Who told you that? How can I laugh?"
After saying this, he stroked his half-white beard and couldn't help laughing.
