Chapter 472 Returning Home
Sun Shan had a meal with Mr. Hong and his wife.
The master's wife also asked Sun Shan whether he was able to pass the imperial examination because he had eaten the magic herb.
If she buys it for her grandson now, will it be too late?
Sun Shan looked at Mr. Hong.
Oh, I found that Mr. Hong also wanted to ask this question.
Sun Shan quickly explained that this was not the case and he didn't know who had spread the rumor. He also advised them to consult a doctor before eating the fairy grass and to consume it only under the doctor's advice.
Sun Shan specifically emphasized that important things had to be said three times to stress that the magic herb was useless. It was the same whether you ate it or not, there was no difference.
Mr. Hong and his wife said "oh" and looked a little disappointed.
Sun Shan's face was filled with black lines.
This is the Nth person who has asked Sun Shan whether he passed the imperial examination by eating the magic herb.
Sun Shan has already determined where the source of this rumor came from.
Besides Uncle Sun, there was only Uncle Sun. He had never eaten the fairy grass before, and only Uncle Sun had given him the fairy grass some time before the provincial examination. Besides him, only Huang knew about it.
Huang definitely won’t tell anyone, so only Uncle Sun is left.
Sun Shan was helpless. He did eat the magic herb, but what did the magic herb have to do with his success in the imperial examination?
Xiancao is trying to flatter itself, and the only one who promotes it so hard is Uncle Sun.
At one point, Sun Shan suspected that his uncle Sun San was hoarding a batch of Ganoderma lucidum, and was selling it on the pretext that Sun Shan had passed the imperial examination, making a fortune by selling the rare Ganoderma lucidum.
When Sun Shan left Hong's School, he also "stole" the Duan inkstone from Mr. Hong's desk.
Good things are worth stealing if you don't steal them. Mr. Hong turned a blind eye and let it go. He must have turned the passive situation into an active one and asked for it.
When they got home, Sun Boming and his second cousin He Shuyu had already packed their things and were ready to return to Sunjia Village early the next morning.
If it weren't for the visit to the county magistrate, Lord Wei, and Scholar Hong, Sun Boming would have clamored to go back long ago.
Huangyang County is not the main place that Sun Bomin shows off, but Sunjia Village is.
Thinking back to the time when his wife gave birth to four daughters in a row, she brought shame to the village and couldn't hold her head up.
Now, although his son looks small and thin, he is very smart and good at studying.
Like a typhoon, it ravaged all the boys in Sunjia Village, leaving them covered in wounds and bruises.
He, Sun Boming, is a son who is as talented as an entire village!
Hehe, in Sunjia Village, who can be more capable than him and give birth to a son than him? !
Sun Bomin said anxiously, "Shanzi, pack your things quickly and leave early tomorrow morning. We have been away from home for too long. We must go back quickly. If we don't go back, your grandma and mother will be worried and may come out to look for you."
Sun Shan also wanted to go home, but he was not in a hurry.
It’s hard to pack up by candlelight so late at night. We can do it early tomorrow morning.
Seeing Sun Shan sitting there motionless, Sun Bomin ran to the room to help Sun Shan clean up.
As for what to pack, there wasn't much, just a few sets of clothes and some books.
Second cousin He Shuyu glanced at Sun Bomin in the room, pursed his lips, and whispered, "Shanzi, your father has been packing things all afternoon. I don't know what he is packing. Anyway, he is in a hurry to go home."
De Ge'er was outspoken and saw through Sun Bomin's thoughts. He said with a smile, "Uncle wants to go home and show off. That's why he's so anxious, haha."
Sun Shan looked at Sun Bomin in the room, then at De Ge'er, patted De Ge'er's head, shook his head and said, "Don't tell anyone about this, or your uncle will..."
Sun Shan pointed at Sun Bomin's piled-up luggage and whispered, "There are a lot of good things in there. If you say something that offends your uncle, you won't get any of the good things."
De Ge'er quickly covered his mouth and said with a smile: "Shanzi, I now speak the truth to people and lies to ghosts. In front of my uncle, I have to coax him well. My uncle is an old man now, and his status is very noble."
He Shuyu and Sun Shan were happy when they heard this. They looked at the sky and saw that it was late at night, so they hurried back to their room to sleep.
Xianzi and Xiaoguangzi, who didn't want to go home, fell asleep early like a pig.
The next day, at dawn, Guyu, Hanlu and my second brother-in-law Zheng Hongyuan came over.
Guyu, Hanlu and the children accompanied Sun Shan back to Sun Village.
My second brother-in-law Zheng Hongyuan continued to work as the royal coachman, helping to transport the luggage back to Sunjia Village.
As for Lixia and the children, they had already returned to Zhengjia Village since they learned that Sun Shan had passed the imperial examination.
Zheng Hongyuan moved the things into the car one by one. Seeing Sun Shan getting up, he said embarrassedly, "Shanzi, did I wake you up? Do you want to sleep a little longer?"
When Sun Shan came back from Mr. Hong's house yesterday, he stopped by to see Zheng Dalang and Manager Xia and told them that he was back and would notify them later when the date for the banquet was confirmed.
Zheng Dalang asked Zheng Hongyuan to be the coachman, so there was no need to hire anyone to transport the goods.
When Sun Shan heard this, he thought it was exactly what he wanted. It would be a waste not to use him. His brother-in-law was the best person to be like a cow or a horse.
At this time, the ox-mare Zheng Hongyuan moved the luggage in no time, and Sun Shan woke up just in time.
Sun Shan quickly shook his head and said, "It's getting late. If you don't get up soon, my father will get angry."
Sun Shan suspected that Sun Boming had not slept last night, otherwise why would he get up before dark?
I really admire him for sweeping the yard in the dark.
After Guyu and Hanlu finished making breakfast, Sun Bomin urged: "Everyone, eat breakfast quickly and go home after eating."
He turned to Sun Shan and said, "Shanzi, eat faster. You are the slowest."
This made De Ge'er, He Shuyu, and Gui Ge'er cover their mouths and laugh, and Xiao Guangzai and Qiangzai also laughed.
Sun Shan was helpless. He had always eaten slowly. It was his habit for many years.
Under Sun Boming's urging, everyone finally finished breakfast, and it was already dawn.
Sun Bomin put the child in the carriage, and asked Sun Shan to wear the juren's scarf and hat and sit in the carriage.
He was told not to move and to maintain his image as a juren.
After seeing that there were no seats left, I just let the rest of the people walk back.
Dege'er, just go during Grain Rain or Cold Dew, it doesn't matter.
He Shuyu was in a miserable situation. As the second young master of the He family, he had to walk, and walk on a mountain road at that, and he was so tired that he was sweating profusely.
As Sun Shan and his group were walking back to Sunjia Village, He Shuyu couldn't help but say, "Shanzi, can you let me sit for a while? I'm so tired. I've never walked such a long way, nor such a steep mountain road."
In fact, the mountain road back to Sunjia Village was not steep, but He Shuyu lived a life of luxury and could not stand the hardship.
Sun Shan wanted to get off the car and walk, and was about to ask Brother Gui, who was driving the car, to stop.
Before he got off the carriage, the sharp-eyed and sharp-eared De Geer called out, "Uncle, my second cousin said he wants to take the carriage and asked Shanzi to get off."
Sun Boming was carrying a small package containing Sun Shan's certificate of successful admission and reward money.
He walked from the front to the back and said, "Shanzi, don't come down."
Then he said to He Shuyu, "Brother Yu, please bear with me and walk. Shanzi just changed into his juren clothes. He is sweating a lot when he walks. It will be bad if the clothes get wrinkled. Just hold on a little longer. We are almost at Sunjia Village."
What could He Shuyu say? She could only nod heavily under her uncle's pleading gaze.
That aggrieved look made De Ge'er, Sun Shan and others burst into laughter.
