Chapter 488 Uncle Can't Read a Single Word
They will arrive in Guangzhou the day after tomorrow. Besides Sun Bomin, they will be accompanied by Su, the village chief, and bodyguards Sun Dingnan and Sun Dali.
Sun Bomin planned that Sun Shan, Gui Ge'er, Sun Dingdan, Sun Dali and himself would accompany Sun Shan to Beijing for the exam.
In fact, it is the former Changsha gang.
It is better to work with someone you are familiar with than to do a new one. It is better to find someone you are familiar with than to look for a new one. It is better to find someone who has experience and has worked with you before.
Sun Shan shook his head and said, "Father, I am going to Beijing with the students from the He and Chen families this time. It is much safer than going to Changsha. Father, you don't have to go with me. Just let Brother Gui and Uncle Dali accompany me."
Sun Shan thought that the journey was long, and if he was too tired to walk, he would let Gui Ge'er and Sun Dali take turns carrying him.
Sun Boming and Sun Dingnan don't have to follow.
He was experienced in traveling, and when he returned home from Yuelu Academy, only Gui Ge'er accompanied him.
Now that we are in the capital, having one more Sun Dali is enough.
Sun Bomin refused without hesitation, shaking his head like a rattle, "No, this journey is longer than the one to Yuelu Academy, how can you do it without me? Humph, don't think you are great just because you are a juren. My father eats more salt than you eat rice, and you are a young boy, how can you understand the dangers of the journey. It's more reassuring to have me accompany you."
Su and Huang also think so.
Su said in great agreement: "Shanzi, just listen to your father and let him go with you. It doesn't matter what he does, but running errands is not bad. There are many trivial things to do, just let your father do them, and you just focus on preparing for the exam."
Huang thought so too, and said gently, "Shanzi, listen to your father and arrange for more people to accompany you. In case something happens, they will be able to take care of you. It's dangerous for children to go on a long journey, so you need to bring more people with you."
Although Sun Shan was 19 years old and engaged, he was still a little kid in the eyes of Sun Bomin, Su, and Huang, and they were worried about him.
This time we traveled from Guangzhou to Shangjing, almost from the southernmost to the northernmost tip, with long mountains and long rivers to climb and wade through.
The three Huang family members were extremely worried and had hardly slept in the past two days.
I was thinking, why can't I take the exam near my home? Why do I have to go so far to take the exam?
Sun Boming and Su thought that it was okay not to take the exam. The Juren masters were so impressive, so it didn't matter if they took the Jinshi exam.
The ideal situation for Sun Bomin and Su is that Sun Shan works at their doorstep. How nice it would be to face him every day.
When Sun Shan gets married and has children, they will help take care of his grandchildren.
However, Sun Shan was ambitious. How could Sun Boming and Su dare not tell him not to take the exam? If they did, and he really failed, wouldn't his son blame them for saying something unlucky?
Sun Bomin and Su were worried.
They had only heard of going to the capital to take the imperial examinations in operas and imagined it in their minds. Now that their son was actually experiencing that scene in the opera, they were so worried that their hair turned a few gray.
Sun Shan was helpless as it would be very troublesome to have so many relatives and friends go to Beijing together.
I don’t know if Old Master He San can arrange so many people to go together?
It costs a lot. Going to Beijing to take the imperial examination is not only a physically demanding job, but also requires a lot of money.
Sun Bomin, Su, and Huang all insisted that Sun Bomin bring a few more people to accompany him to the exam, and Sun Shan had no choice but to accept.
These are not issues of principle, so accommodate them if you can.
It doesn't matter if you spend more money or work harder.
When De Geer heard that Sun Shan was going to take Sun Dingnan and Sun Dali to the capital, he immediately jumped out and said, "Shanzi, I want to go to the capital too. I will be your housekeeper and help you with your work."
Sun Shan looked at him suspiciously and asked, "Brother De, didn't you go to work? Why are you still at home?"
It’s already this late, and what is De Ge’er doing at home instead of going to the county school to work?
Why? De Ge'er is getting married soon, so he has to come back to take care of the wedding.
So these days, I just come back on weekends or take leave.
As soon as he stepped into the door of his home today, he heard that Sun Shan was going to Guangzhou Prefecture. Naturally, De Ge'er hurried over and put forward his demands.
De Ge'er said crisply, "Shanzi, I don't want to work in the county school. I want to come back to be your housekeeper. You are a juren now, and you will be a jinshi next year. With a big family and a lot of business, you naturally need a housekeeper. Your uncle can't read a word, so he can't be your housekeeper. Brothers are fighting together, so I am the most suitable person to be your housekeeper."
Sun Bomin, who can't read a single word: ~~~~~~~
I really wanted to beat De Ge'er up. It's not that he couldn't read. He used to know how to read, but he forgot it after doing hard labor for so many years.
I want to learn but I can't, so I am almost illiterate.
Sun Bomin could still recognize the words "Sun Shan, Sun Bomin".
Not quite illiterate.
Sun Shan shook his head without thinking and said, "No, I'm going to take the exam this time, not for fun, so I can't take you with me."
De Ge'er is handsome and elegant.
Sun Shan was envious and jealous and didn't want to keep De Ge'er with him.
This would make him look even shorter and poorer.
An ugly guy hates being called ugly, and he also hates being called more handsome than him.
De Ge'er, I'm sorry, you've been tricked!
Just go away.
De Ge'er asked in confusion, "Why? Why don't you take me with you? Not only can I read, I'm also strong. I can kill a wolf with my left hand and a tiger with my right hand. If you take me with you, I can not only be your housekeeper, but also your guard. Shanzi, if you take me with you, I guarantee you won't suffer any loss or be fooled. You've found a treasure by meeting me."
When Gui Geer heard this, he said hurriedly, "Brother De, you are bragging. When have you ever killed a wolf? Besides, where are there tigers in Huangyang County? Brother De, don't brag."
De Ge'er was so angry that he wanted to beat Gui Ge'er up.
He was just speaking in a slightly exaggerated manner, why did you expose him so ruthlessly?
snort!
De Ge'er said to Sun Shan, "Shanzi, you have seen it. Gui Ge'er is not smart enough. It is better to take me with you than to take him. With me here, I will ensure that you can be safely escorted to the capital."
At this time, Uncle Sun hurriedly ran in from the yard and jumped in front of Sun Boming.
He said confidently, "Brother, the capital is too far from Sunjia Village. You are too old to go. I will accompany Shanzi. Everyone in the village says that I am smart. When you go out, you need someone like me. Brother, you are honest. You even help others count money when you get cheated. You should stay at home and wait for the news of Shanzi's admission to high school. I will be the best escort for you."
After saying that, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Sun Shan, looking so frivolous.
The older Sun Bomin:~~~~~~
Sun Bomin was fed up with Uncle Sun and Dege'er, father and son.
One said he was illiterate, the other said he was old.
Is that polite?
Sun Bomin said unhappily, "Third brother, this is my family's business, you as an outsider should not interfere. I will escort Shanzi, you should just stay in Sunjia Village and collect mountain products."
