Chapter 491 Uncle Sun gave money again
Sun Shan brushed aside the topic of how much money he had lost and continued to ask, "Uncle San, tell me how much you made from selling the fairy grass. The villagers said you made a lot of money. They are so envious."
Uncle Sun glanced at Sun Shan with pride, and his expression was just like De Ge'er's proud look.
Uncle Sun waved his hands repeatedly, then vehemently denied, "What money? That's all nonsense from the villagers. I sold my magic grass to the clinic a long time ago. If you're talking about making money, the clinic did make a lot."
Uncle Sun felt heartbroken. If he had known earlier, he would have sold it later so that he could have made more money.
As for how much he earned, he had to keep it a secret. Not only could he not tell Shanzi, but even his wife couldn't tell him the real amount, otherwise how could he hide his private money?
Sun Shan was speechless, but since Uncle Sun didn't say anything, he didn't ask any more questions. He was afraid that if he knew too much, if it got out one day, people would think he was the one who spread the news, and he would be held accountable.
Sun Shan looked at the night sky again and asked calmly, "Uncle San, is there anything else you want to talk to me about? If not, I'm going to sleep."
Uncle Sun rolled his eyes again. The moon was bright and the stars were sparse. It was okay for uncle and nephew to chat. Was it necessary to go to bed so early?
Uncle Sun asked again: "Shanzi, what if, I mean what if, you fail the exam, what are you going to do?"
Sun Shan quickly replied, "Continue to take the test."
Uncle Sun's mouth twitched, and he rolled his eyes again: "I mean, you always fail the exam, you can't keep taking the exam. What will you do then?"
Sun Shan had already planned for this issue.
If you fail the exam, you can use your connections to get a position in government, preferably in Guangzhou.
Firstly, the city is big enough, life is convenient, there is enough information, and the educational resources are better than Huangyang County. He may not pass the imperial examination, but as long as he has enough resources, his sons and grandsons will be successful.
Secondly, it was close to home. If you work in Guangzhou, even if you can't go home, you can ask your parents to come over. Just like the Spring Festival travel, you can travel in the opposite direction. Besides, Sun Bomin and Su were familiar with Guangzhou, and the customs and habits were not much different, so they quickly adapted.
Third, there is more oil and water. In big places, others eat meat, and he eats soup, which is more oily than eating meat in Huangyang County or other small counties. Haha, if you use the information gap reasonably and don't be greedy, you will make a lot of money.
Sun Shan did not intend to become a corrupt official, but he could fully utilize his identity and information to benefit himself and live a life without worries about food and clothing.
Fourthly, Guangzhou has a diverse culture. If you stay and work there, you can make friends with different talented people and find like-minded people to do things that interest you.
In short, Sun Shan plans to be thick-skinned and use his connections to try to stay in the big city to work, and he does not plan to return to his hometown to make a difference.
Although he could become a "bully" if he stayed in Huangyang County, it was too poor to stay.
As for being an official in another place, Sun Shan did not want to do that. His status as a juren was rather embarrassing, and to succeed required inhuman perseverance and determination.
Sun Shan is obviously not such an intense person. He has a rather dull personality and it is too difficult for him to climb up, so he decides not to take this path.
When he earned money in Guangzhou, he invested it in Sunjia Village, building bridges and roads and setting up schools for the villagers.
Of course, if you have good ideas, you should also make Sunjia Village rich.
As for the entire Huangyang County, he would like to, but the strength of the Juren does not allow it.
So I want to live a good life and then find ways to benefit society.
Of course, such a life plan cannot be told to Uncle Sun, lest he become a big mouth and spread nonsense everywhere.
Sun Song coughed a few times, his face didn't turn red, his heart didn't beat, and he said confidently: "Third Uncle, I am a juren now. Even if I can't pass the imperial examination, as long as I don't gamble or go to whores, I won't starve to death even if I lie down all my life. Even if I don't do anything, the tax-free food is enough for me to eat and throw away."
Uncle Sun was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
Sun Shan meant that he was prepared to be unlearned, to sleep when he was full and to eat when he was full, and to be like the playboy in the village, wandering around everywhere without doing any work.
The only difference is that the playboy is relying on his parents for support, while Sun Shan is relying on his status as a juren.
In fact, their nature is the same, they are all idle people.
Uncle Sun didn't know what to say for a while.
He is obviously a positive and hard-working young man, so why did he become a lazy person after passing the imperial examination?
Uncle Sun couldn't accept it for a moment.
Sun Shan smiled secretly in his heart, and said calmly, "Uncle San, if there's nothing else, I'll go to bed. You should go to bed early too, because we have to get up early tomorrow to collect mountain products. We have to collect more in the fall so that we can sell them before the New Year."
Uncle Sun really wanted to beat Sun Shan up for saying such things.
Uncle Sun thought about how he had to go out to collect mountain products under the scorching sun, sweating profusely, feeling physically and mentally exhausted, at an old age.
Sun Shan hid in a cool room, ate well, slept well, and went sightseeing from time to time.
After such a comparison, Uncle Sun was in despair. Comparing yourself with others will only make you feel depressed.
Uncle Sun secretly made up his mind to encourage Sun Shan to become a high-ranking official so that he could help his sons and grandsons. He himself could become the third old master, order servants around, and live a happy life in his old age.
Uncle Sun patted Sun Shan on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Shanzi, you must do well in the exam. To bring honor to our Sun family, fortune teller Yang said that not only our old house, but also your grandfather's grave has a faint trace of an official hat. You will definitely pass the exam and become a high-ranking official."
After saying that, he took out a shining silver ingot from his pocket.
Sun Shan's eyes widened. Oh, where is the 10-liang silver ingot?
Then he was extremely disappointed. It was 10 taels last time and 10 taels again this time. It seemed that Uncle Sun was reluctant to spend a lot of money.
Uncle Sun took out another ingot of shiny silver from his trouser pocket.
Sun Shan's eyes widened again, "Oh, where is the 10-liang silver ingot?"
Then his face was full of surprise. Last time it was 10 taels, this time it was 20 taels. It seemed that I had misunderstood Uncle Sun. He was increasing his investment.
Uncle Sun felt Sun Shan's glowing eyes and hesitated a little.
My nephew seems to be very greedy for money. I wonder if the money he gives will be wasted.
If his nephew sees that he has no money in the future, will he kick him out?
It seemed that his nephew was blinded by money. Uncle Sun hesitated and instinctively handed over 20 taels.
When Sun Shan saw it, he immediately reached out and put the 20 taels into his pocket, saying happily and satisfiedly: "Uncle San, I can't refuse your kindness. Then I will accept it. Thank you."
Uncle Sun's eyes widened. Sun Shan had never made any move to refuse.
Was about to say something.
Sun Shan pushed Uncle Sun San's back with his hand, pushed him to the gate of the yard, opened the door, and pushed him out.
Sun Shan said calmly, "Uncle San, it's getting late. Go back and have some rest. Get up early tomorrow and go collect the produce. The villagers in the surrounding area are waiting for you to collect the produce."
He paused, as if thinking of something, and added: "Uncle San, don't worry. I won't tell anyone about the money you gave me. It would be bad if Aunt San knew about it. We are all men, I understand. Uncle San, goodbye."
After saying that, he slammed the door shut, ran back to the room, took off his coat, rushed to the bed, and lay down.
I'm so sleepy and want to sleep.
Uncle Sun, whose hair was disheveled in the wind, stared blankly at the gate of the Sun family's old house and cursed in his heart: What a cunning Shanzi!
