Chapter 475: Juren is promoted to Xiucai, so the silver is also doubled?
Sun Shan looked at Huang and Su with tears in his eyes. His emotions were like the waves of the ocean. He ran over excitedly and knelt down in front of Huang and Su, choking with sobs, saying, "Grandma, mother, Shanzi is back. Shanzi lived up to everyone's expectations and passed the imperial examination."
Huang threw herself on top of Sun Shan and hugged him excitedly, saying, "Well done, my Shanzi, you did a great job. I'm so happy that you've become a juren."
Su wanted to take Shanzi from her mother-in-law, but she didn't dare to. She could only stand aside and said with red eyes: "Shanzi, my Shanzi, mother is so happy too."
Uncle Sun and Aunt Sun hurriedly helped Huang and Sun Shan up.
Uncle Sun said excitedly: "Mother, Shanzi is kneeling. Get up quickly, the ground is dirty."
Aunt Sun also hurriedly shouted: "Mother, Shanzi is back, you can rest assured and don't have to worry about him anymore."
Aunt Sun San saw the opportunity and immediately approached Sun Shan and said, "Mother, look quickly, Shanzi is dressed very handsomely today. This fabric and this style are said to be something only a scholar can wear. Mother, our Shanzi has made a name for himself now."
These words successfully attracted the attention of Huang and Su, who were crying, and they looked quickly at Sun Shan's clothes.
Su couldn't help but go forward and touch it, and said excitedly: "Mother, Shanzi's clothes are so soft and beautiful. They are given by the government, and they can't be dirty."
Sun Shan's scholar's hat and clothes were issued by the government, and Su also thought that Sun Shan's juren's hat and clothes were also issued by the government.
In fact, the government did not issue the hats and clothes to the candidates, but instead gave them silver and asked the candidates to go back and buy cloth to make them.
Huang also believed, as Su did, that things given by the government were precious and sacred and should not be soiled.
He said anxiously: "Shanzi, you must not kneel from now on. This dress was given by the government, you must protect it well."
Huang and Su thought so, and Sun Shan did not explain. He nodded and said, "Grandma, mother, I understand. Let's go home."
Sun Shan really didn't want to stay in the center of the village. It was only a few steps home, but he took so long to walk.
If we don't leave now, I don't know how long we will be delayed.
Huang nodded repeatedly and said, "Let's go back first. You must be hungry since you came back so early in the morning."
Su said distressedly: "Yes, it's noon, Shanzi must not have eaten lunch, my master, the scholar, will be hungry."
Aunt Sun San took the opportunity to speak: "Auntie, sister-in-law, let's go back quickly. Our master can't go hungry. It's been a hard journey from the capital to home. It's been a long journey, and he must be thirsty and tired."
Huang nodded repeatedly and said to the village chief and the elders: "Village chief, let's go back first and talk later."
The village chief said very sensibly: "Hurry, go back first, we can't let Shanzi starve."
So Sun Shan supported Huang, followed by Su and others, and hurried home.
My second brother-in-law Zheng Hongyuan and Gui Ge'er continued to drive the car.
Second cousin He Shuyu finally breathed a sigh of relief and could return to the Sun family's old house.
But He Shuyu was quite disappointed. He felt that his grandmother didn't see him from beginning to end. If it were in the past, she would definitely call him "Yu Ge'er Yu Ge'er".
At this time, he only had Sun Shan in his eyes, and He Shuyu completely fell out of favor.
As for Uncle Sun, Aunt Sun, and De Ge'er, they stayed where they were and chatted with the folks.
It would be a waste not to brag about such a good opportunity. If you miss it, you will never get it again. If you want to brag about it, you can only wait until you pass the imperial examination next time.
Sun Shan and his companions returned to the Sun family's old house. Su took Guyu and Hanlu to the kitchen to cook.
Uncle Sun and Aunt Sun hurriedly caught a big fat chicken and a big fat duck from home to slaughter.
Sun Shan quickly said, "Uncle, Aunt, just cook some food."
Seeing Uncle Sun butchering chickens and ducks, it was very troublesome.
Uncle Sun smiled naively and said, "It's not a big deal. Just cut it up first. If you can't eat it at noon, save it for dinner. Shanzi, sit down and have a good rest."
Aunt Sun followed behind and echoed: "That's right, Shanzi, we can butcher the chicken and duck quickly, and we'll be able to eat it soon."
Huang agreed and said, "Zhongli, cut up two more so we can eat them at night."
Uncle Sun said "oh", and Aunt Sun hurried home and caught a big fat chicken and a big fat duck.
Sun Shan had no choice but to do as they said.
Huang held Sun Shan's hand, looked at him carefully, and said contentedly, "When the government came to announce the good news that day, our family was very busy. We thought you would be back soon, so we waited and waited for a long time. Now that you are back, I am finally relieved."
Sun Bomin quickly explained: "Mother, we also want to come back early. After the results are announced, the government will hold a Luming Banquet, which only the candidates can attend. Our Shanzi also went there and met many high-ranking officials."
Sun Bomin opened a piece of silk and found a yellow chrysanthemum inside. He said cheerfully, "This is the flower that the official gave to Shanzi. It was made by the official himself."
Huang was so excited that she said quickly, "Great! Our Shanzi is really amazing. It was actually the official who personally put the flower in his hair."
He Shuyu glanced at the shriveled chrysanthemum, then glanced at Sun Shan's expressionless face, and felt very funny.
My uncle and grandmother particularly like things from the government. I heard from Dege that they would offer them on the altar for our ancestors.
He Shuyu felt that Sun Shan's status as a juren was more valuable than his brother's status as a jinshi.
He Shuyu was amazed by the scene of returning to the village just now. It was so exaggerated.
He Shuyu must talk things over with Aunt Sun and Uncle He when she returns.
When Su, who was cooking in the kitchen, heard that there were things from the government, she stopped cooking, asked her two daughters to cook, and hurried back to the hall.
Guyu and Hanlu looked at each other. They didn't want to do it either, and they also wanted to go and take a look.
But my brother’s stomach is more important. He was tired and hungry after walking for a whole morning.
When Su saw the silver in the package, she asked quickly, "Boss, why are there so many silvers? Last time there were only 20 taels, but this time there are 40 taels?"
Could it be that the juren was upgraded from the scholar, so the silver was doubled?
Sun Bomin quickly explained: "20 taels were given by the county government, and 20 taels were given by the prefectural government."
Then he asked He Shuyu: "Brother Yu, are the 20 taels given by the government office used to make flags and plaques?"
Sun Bomin had already asked clearly, but was afraid that he had misheard, so he asked He Shuyu for confirmation again.
He Shuyu handed a piece of cake to Xiaozai. Children are most likely to get hungry, so he used the cake to fill his stomach first.
He nodded and said, "Uncle, it is used to make a plaque. My eldest brother's plaque is hung in the ancestral hall. I wonder if Shanzi's should be hung at home or in the ancestral hall?"
Sun Bomin said without hesitation: "It must be hung in the ancestral hall so that the ancestors of the Sun family can see it."
Not only can his ancestors see it, but also the villagers who come to offer sacrifices can see it at all times, so that the villagers know that he, Sun Boming, has given birth to a smart boy.
Sun Boming also told Huang that not only should a plaque be made, but also a monument should be erected.
Huang and Su became even more excited after hearing this.
