Chapter 485 2 Cousin, how could I be greedy for these things? I am so upright, brave, and kind.

Chapter 485 2 Cousin, how could I be greedy for these things? I am so upright, brave, and kind.

Second cousin He Shuyu thought the same after seeing Sun Shan’s gift list.

I thought to myself that Sun Shan's banquet for the candidates was lively, but it was a loss-making business. It was all show and no substance.

Whether it was his brother's banquet for the Juren or Jinshi, all of them were given with real money, land, houses, and beauties.

Of course, although the He family likes these things, they will never take what they shouldn’t take.

He Shuyu looked at Sun Shan and said with a smile: "Shanzi, although the gifts are a little less, I am happy. The most important thing in a wedding is to be happy."

Sun Shan was speechless. He never thought of accepting gifts from others.

He just felt a sense of gap. It was completely different from what was said in the legend. He felt a little lost.

He shook his head and said, "Second cousin, I would never be greedy for these things. I am so upright, brave, and kind."

He Shuyu was even more speechless. It was understandable for being upright and not accepting gifts, but was this how the words brave and kind were used?

He suddenly didn't want to talk to Sun Shan anymore, and took his son, the crybaby, and a bunch of other kids to the village chief's fish pond to fish.

He Shuyu said he would not stop until he had caught all the fish from the village chief's house.

After the banquet, the four Guyu sisters stayed at Sun's house, wanting to spend a few more days with Sun Shan. After all, such days were rare.

As for my brothers-in-law, they have to go back first because they still have work to do and cannot stay that long.

Sun Shan seemed to have returned to his childhood, working, eating and chatting with his sisters.

When I see a bunch of kids, everything can never go back to the way it was.

Guyu brought a bowl of crucian carp soup with Artemisia capillaris, red beans and Poria cocos from the kitchen.

Remove dampness, clear away heat and detoxify, moisturize dryness, and promote diuresis and clear the liver.

A century-old Cantonese classic dehumidifying soup.

When the weather is dry, you need to drink dehumidifying soup the most.

Guyu said to Sun Shan, "Shanzi, come and drink the soup while it's hot."

Sun Shan responded and took a sip. It tasted good.

And the fried crucian carp is the best.

Guyu smiled and said, "Shanzi, Guangzai is not very good at studying. Can you think of any way to make him study hard? His grandfather and father are very angry with him. They always say that he looks like his uncle, but his brain is nothing like his uncle."

Guyu only gave birth to Guangzi and Guangnu in these years.

The family wanted their son to be successful, so they placed their hopes on Guangzai.

Sun Shan nodded and said, "Sister, I will test Guangzai later to see how much he has learned over the years. You can't rush things like studying. It won't work."

Sun Shan could only comfort him. After all, he was no longer a child since he was born. The kids at home should never compare themselves with him. There is no comparison at all.

Lixia was also worried. The little crybaby was naughty and mischievous. The first thing he thought about was not studying, but beating him up.

I've been beaten a lot, but I'll just keep going.

Lixia said helplessly: "Big sister, the little crybaby is not much better. His great grandfather always shakes his head every time he sees him."

The little crybaby’s great-grandfather was Zheng Tongsheng.

Lixia gave birth to three sons. She had no shortage of sons, but she lacked a son who could read.

Especially since there were two students in their family who were not good at studying, they just couldn't produce a scholar.

The family must be placing their hopes on the next generation.

The little crybaby is the eldest grandson, and he has an uncle who is a scholar, so the family’s expectations of him can only be more, not less.

When Sun Shan saw the little crybaby making such a fuss, not only did Zheng Tongsheng shake his head, he also shook his head.

If he wasn't his nephew, but his biological son, Sun Shan sometimes wanted to whip him.

It's really too noisy, especially for those who like quietness, it's really unbearable.

Sun Shan could only say soothingly, "Second sister, the little crybaby is still young, he will get better soon. Let him come over later, I will test his studies."

Lixia nodded immediately and said with a smile: "Okay, Shanzi, you can test him. He keeps calling you his uncle the juren all the time and is very respectful to you. If you say something to him, he won't dare to say anything."

Xiao Guangzai and Xiao Crybaby both went to school.

These scholars also knew that Sun Shan had passed the imperial examination.

The two little guys were very arrogant in school. When they quarreled with their classmates, if they couldn't win the argument, they would ask their uncle, a scholar, to come and fight with them. They used the banner of a higher official to bully others, making their classmates want to put sacks on them and beat them up.

In addition, the teacher took sides because of their uncle who was a juren scholar, and the two little guys became even more powerful.

When Guyu and Lixia found out, they raised their sticks and started hitting them, and only then did the two little guys stop.

Hanlu gave birth to a son and a daughter. Xiatou didn't go to school, but he had Zeng Jiajun, a college loser, by his side.

Hanlu had no confidence at all about the shrimp head that looked exactly like Zeng Jiajun.

Nephews are mostly like their uncles, but Xia Tou looks nothing like Sun Shan.

He said with a bitter face: "My shrimp head is not smart at first glance, and doesn't look like a good student. My family even said that they would train him well to take exams for the title of scholar, juren, and jinshi. Haha, he must have eaten kohlrabi to have such a big dream."

Sun Shan smiled and said, "Fourth sister, don't be discouraged. Maybe Xiatou is a good student. We can only see it in school. How can we know the situation now?"

Hanlu grinned and said, "Shanzi, I also hope he is like what you said."

Sun Shan looked at his third sister Xiaoman again. She sat there without saying a word, drinking her soup. His little niece looked for her, but she didn't respond.

No need to ask, everyone knew that she was in a very bad mood.

Sun Shan picked up his little niece Shao Ting who was looking for her mother and teased her cheerfully. He also took out a few silk flowers from the groceries and gave them to her.

Xiao Shaoting blushed and smiled sweetly: "Thank you, uncle."

Shaoting.

Ting refers to a graceful and beautiful woman.

Shaoting, just stop giving birth to girls.

It is the "literary" version of Zhaodi, Mengdi, Yingdi and Laidi.

It seems that not only the third sister wants to have a son, but her third brother-in-law Hong Chenglin also wants to have a son.

When Xiaoman saw the silk flowers in Shaoting's hair, she wanted to say something, but in the end she couldn't say anything.

After dinner, Sun Shan went to see his third sister Xiaoman.

Looking at her sad face, he remembered that night when his third sister told him that she wanted to find a scholar. She wanted to be a woman respected by everyone like Zheng Tongsheng's wife.

Later, when the third sister could not marry a scholar, Sun Shan asked her to raise scholars, thinking that being the mother of a scholar was much better than being the wife of a scholar.

The birth of three daughters in a row was like a bolt of lightning that struck Xiaoman to pieces.

To be the mother of a scholar, you must have a scholar seedling, and the scholar seedling must have a boy.

Xiaoman cannot give birth to a boy, so it will be difficult for her to become a scholar's wife and live the rest of her life well.

The main reason is that I can't get over it.

Sun Shan comforted her and said, "Third sister, don't be anxious about having a baby. You are still young and have many opportunities."

Xiaoman's eyes were red, and she shook her head repeatedly and said, "Shanzi, why am I the one with the most miserable life? My eldest sister, second sister, and fourth sister all had sons, but I can only have a daughter."

Sun Shan tried to persuade her: "Third sister, having a boy or a girl is determined by heaven, you can't be blamed. Besides, you have only given birth to three daughters, so it doesn't matter if you give birth to a fourth. My mother gave birth to four daughters in a row before giving birth to me, a scholar. Third sister, I believe you can also give birth to a boy."

Sun Shan didn't dare to say that it didn't matter if he didn't have a boy, because a girl was the same as a boy.

This is nothing but self-deception.

This boy and girl are really different in this world, and it’s not something that can be changed by just a few words from Sun Shan.
