Chapter 499: What an ugly boy! Apart from his few talents, what else does he have?

The He family praised the Sun family's boy, the Sun family praised the He family's girl, and the parties involved, Sun Shan and He Banyun, sat quietly aside, acting as tools.

Old Master He San chatted with the village chief and occasionally asked about Sun Boming. Old Madam He San chatted with Aunt Sun and occasionally asked about Su.

It was Su's first time to visit the He family. She didn't drink tea casually, and she didn't dare to talk nonsense. She just agreed with whatever Aunt Sun said, and tried not to speak out of turn. If she had to answer any questions, she would answer them briefly.

The two families chatted for a while, and then the He family prepared the banquet.

The female members of the family eat in the inner courtyard, while the male members of the family eat in the outer courtyard.

When only the men were around, He Lixi finally asked a question, and said to Sun Shan: "Ashan, we have contacted each other. The students of the He family will go to the capital in three days. Get ready in these three days and set off together."

Sun Shan was stunned. Three days later? That was too fast.

But since the He family had already arranged it, Sun Shan naturally accepted it. He didn't dare to object. Others had taken great pains to arrange it for him, so he didn't have time to be happy.

Sun Shan nodded and said, "Uncle, I understand. Thank you for your help. Thank you for your hard work."

The more He Lixi looked at Sun Shan, the more he disliked him, but today was the day to pay the betrothal gift, and even if he disliked him, he had to consider the overall situation.

What's more, Sun Shan's taking the exam is a big deal, so he has to be more careful.

He Lixi hopes that Sun Shan can pass the high school entrance examination and marry Yun Jie'er after returning.

It would be such an honor for his daughter to marry a newly-appointed Jinshi.

Those guys who looked down on Sister Yun before no longer dared to make fun of her.

The He family has already fallen out with several families in Guangzhou over Yun Jie'er's marriage.

He Lixi was angry, but there was nothing he could do.

After many twists and turns, He Lixi finally found Sun Shan as his son-in-law. He was not satisfied with him, but the situation had been decided and there was nothing he could do no matter how dissatisfied he was.

And it seems that he is the only one in the He family who is dissatisfied.

My father and mother were satisfied, Chen was satisfied too, not to mention Jiang Ge'er, as he was the one who first proposed the marriage.

As for Yun Jie'er, she was a grown-up girl and the words "eager to get married" were engraved on her forehead. She was delighted to see Sun Shan.

Old Master He San also said, "Three days later, there will be students from our He family, students from the Chen family, and children from several good families. Shanzi, it will be much smoother if you go with them."

Sun Shan quickly thanked him and said, "Thank you very much, old man. If it weren't for your help, I don't know how I would have gotten to Beijing."

In fact, Sun Shan also had a companion who went to Beijing to take the exam with him. He and Chairman Liu Zhiyan took a ride on the merchant ship owned by Zhong Weifang of the Zhong family.

But after thinking about it, it’s better to stay with the He family.

Firstly, he is now the future son-in-law of the He family, and is considered a family member. He wants to use this trip to Beijing to build good relations with the He family.

Secondly, Sun Shan was not very familiar with Liu Zhiyan and Zhong Weifang. He had already taken advantage of the Zhong family last time and could not continue to take advantage. If you take advantage too much, you will always have to pay a price. Even if you have to pay in the future, Sun Shan did not want to.

Thirdly, the He family, Chen family and other aristocratic families in Guangzhou Prefecture travel together, which is safer. They are very experienced, and Sun Shan feels more at ease following behind. Along the way, he also has the opportunity to discuss knowledge with these talented people, which benefits him a lot.

Sun Bomin also said gratefully: "Grandpa, our Shanzi is all thanks to your He family. I, a person who knows nothing, have to take care of it. I don't even know where to find a boat or a escort team. Thank you for your hard work for Shanzi."

He Shuqiang, who had been silent and mischievous, finally found an opportunity to interrupt.

He said cheerfully, "Uncle, don't be so polite. Brother Shan is now the son-in-law of our He family, and it is our duty to help him. Haha, Brother Shan will definitely pass the exam in Beijing this time."

Turning his head, he looked at Sun Shan and said with a smile, "Brother Shan, you must do well in the exam. My elder sister is destined to be a good wife for her husband and an official, so you will definitely pass the exam."

Sun Shan looked at He Shuqiang speechlessly. He was able to pass the exam because of his hard work and ability. What did Sister Guan Yun have to do with it?

If you still believe in fortune-telling and divination, then there is no such thing as "man can conquer nature".

If there were only Sun Shan and He Shuqiang, Sun Shan would definitely criticize He Shuqiang harshly, so that he would not be too feudal and superstitious. Even if living in a feudal era, he should know when to stop.

However, with his family around, Sun Shan didn't dare to tell the truth.

He smiled faintly and said, "Brother Qiang, don't worry, I will try my best to pass the exam."

As for whether he would make the list or not, Sun Shan couldn't guarantee it.

He has even less confidence in himself than others have in him.

He Lixi looked at Sun Shan, then at Sun Boming, then at Village Chief Sun and the other members of the Sun family. He felt that all the wisdom of the Sun family was in Sun Shan. No wonder he was able to pass the imperial examination.

Village chief Sun, Sun Bomin and others all speak with a simple and honest temperament, but Sun Shan, although he speaks so seriously, is actually quite cunning.

He doesn't have the temperament of a Sun family member at all. He is not honest or simple at all.

Thinking of his own father, Sun Shan, whom his sons all said was honest and sincere, He Lixi felt very depressed.

Sun Shan inadvertently met He Lixi's scrutinizing gaze, his heart paused, and then he smiled slightly.

Sun Shan believed that laughter was the best way to cope with any situation.

He Lixi felt even more depressed when he saw Sun Shan in front of him smiling like a cooked dog's head.

What an ugly boy! Apart from his few talents, what else does he have?

He Lixi was angry and stopped looking at Sun Shan.

Sun Shan had no idea what his future father-in-law was thinking. He had a delicious meal with the He family and the roast goose with lychees that he had been craving for. All the tension of the day disappeared and all he could do was enjoy the food.

After eating and drinking, the Sun family came out of Old Master He San’s house and turned to He Wenshu’s house to continue having dinner.

On the way, Sun Shan also gave academic guidance to Baoger and his younger brother.

When they returned to Aunt Sun's house, the naughty boy went to his grandmother again. Aunt Sun said, "Grandma, I want to get married too."

This made everyone stunned, and then they burst into laughter.

Aunt Sun laughed and scolded: "You little boy, you want to get married at such a young age, you have no shame."

He Shuyu slapped the boy on the back in annoyance: "What are you trying to do, little boy? You are always thinking of something here and there, and none of you are serious."

He Shuyu felt sad from the bottom of his heart. The boy wanted to get married at such a young age. It was obvious that he was not a serious person, and even less what a scholar would think. It seemed that the boy was like himself, a college loser.

When the boy was hit like this, he immediately ran to the village chief and complained: "Grandpa, I want to get married and eat roast goose, why did my father hit me?"

The village chief likes the lively and lovely Xiaozai very much. Even though his family’s fish pond has been damaged by Xiaozai, his heart is still blindly towards Xiaozai.

Pointing at He Shuyu, he yelled, "Brother Yu, how can you just do it when you want to? What's wrong with you thinking this way? Marrying a wife and having children is something every boy must go through. You just knew about it in advance. What's more, you saw that the food today was delicious and thought that you could eat it every day if you got married. What's wrong with that? Beat him, you only know how to beat him. You should talk to our boy properly."

He quickly pulled Qiang to his side, took out a dozen copper coins from his pocket, and bought snacks for Qiang.

The boy was not polite and happily took the copper coins. He also said thank you very politely and looked at He Shuyu proudly.

Once again, the young man acted arrogantly in front of He Shuyu and defeated her completely.
