Chapter 501 1 Biography
Sun Shan went to talk to Aunt Sun.
Upon learning that Sun Bomin was ill, Aunt Sun hurried back home and severely criticized Sun Bomin, asking him to pay attention to his diet and sleep.
He sighed and said, "Brother, you are not young anymore, you should be careful. We should all take good care of our bodies and live to be a hundred years old."
Aunt Sun also told Sun Boming that even if Sun Shan passed the imperial examination and became a high-ranking official, his official career would come to an abrupt end if his parents died of illness, and he would have to return home to observe filial piety for three years.
Three years for my father, three years for my mother, a total of six years. What's the point of being an official? There are too many variables in these six years. I am doing my job as an official well, but suddenly I have to go home to observe mourning for six years. When I return to the court, there is no position for me.
Aunt Sun not only advised Sun Boming but also Su to take good care of themselves.
Living long will not only allow him to grow up with his grandchildren and great-grandchildren, but will also allow Shanzi to be an official with peace of mind and ensure that his official career will be smooth.
Uncle He also advised, "Big brother, your big sister and I should take good care of our health now. If we are well, then Jin Ge'er will be well. Similarly, if you are well, then Shan Zi will be well. Don't neglect your own health. We can't help our children, but at least we can't hold them back. Do you understand?"
When Sun Boming and Su heard that there was such a way to observe mourning, they immediately nodded in agreement.
They didn't want Sun Shan to return home halfway through his career as an official.
He has been away from his original position for several years, and there is no place for him if he returns.
Sun Boming and Su thought that they must pay more attention to themselves in the future and take good care of their health, preferably to live a long life, so that Shanzi can serve as an official until he retires and returns home, so that they don't have to worry about their parents' death.
Aunt Sun said to Sun Bomin, "Brother, you have to accept your age. You are not young anymore. Don't follow Shanzi to the capital this time. Shanzi will be fine if he stays with the He family. Jing'er only took a few servants with him when he went.
Shanzi followed the students of the He family and arrived in the capital. With Jing'er around, everything was even more fine.
"Big brother, I know you love Shanzi, but it depends on the situation. If you go with me, Shanzi will have to take care of you, which is putting the cart before the horse."
Sun Bomin still wanted to go to Beijing with Sun Shan. How could he feel at ease letting his only child go to such a faraway place?
What Aunt Sun said made sense, and Sun Boming didn't know how to refute it for a moment.
Aunt Sun knew that her eldest brother Ju was in trouble, but Ju could not act rashly. She said firmly, "Brother, you should rest and recover. It will be useless if you don't recover. Let's talk about it after you recover in two days."
Aunt Sun and Uncle He looked at each other. Judging from Sun Bomin's appearance, he would not be well in two days, so it was impossible for him to go to Beijing. There was no need to say anything more. When the time comes, let the village chief come forward and talk to him.
Su secretly approached Sun Shan and whispered, "Shanzi, it looks like your father can't go with you. Can you go by yourself?"
Sun Shan patted his thin chest and said, "Mother, of course you can. Have you forgotten that I took Gui Ge'er back to Huangyang County from Changsha Prefecture alone? I already had experience. This time, going to Beijing is actually easier than going to Changsha Prefecture. We will take the boat all the way and only need to walk a section of land. It is easier than going to Yuelu Academy.
Mother, don't worry, you stay at home and take good care of the family, take care of father and grandmother. You are the most capable one in the family, I am most relieved to leave the family to you."
Sun Shan continued to speak sweetly to Su: "Mother, I always think you are the best in the family. You do a great job both at home and outside. Father looks very capable, but he is actually not as capable as you. If you were not a woman, you would definitely be much better than father."
Su grinned very brightly, with a slightly red face.
He said confidently: "Shanzi, you are indeed my good son. You are the one who knows me best and knows how capable I am. Haha, whether it is housework or farm work, I am good at everything. You are right, if I were a man, I would definitely be more successful than your father."
Sun Shan continued to coax Su.
Su was so happy that he couldn't find east, west, south or north.
He patted his chest and assured, "Shanzi, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of your father and grandmother. The family can't do without me. Especially your father is arrogant and stubborn, and he doesn't change his ways. If it weren't for me, he would have offended many people."
Sun Shan smiled secretly in his heart. Su would open a dyeing factory as long as he was given a little color, and would shine brightly as long as he was given a little sunshine. He was very easy to please, much easier to please than Sun Boming.
Moreover, Su listens to Sun Shan the most. If you analyze the pros and cons with her carefully, she will follow Sun Shan's advice and is very easy to deceive.
Gui Ge'er came back from the clinic with medicine and boiled a big bowl of it. After Sun Boming drank it at noon, he had diarrhea in the afternoon.
Su covered her nose and asked in disgust, "Boss, what's wrong? Do you want to call a doctor?"
Sun Bomin had a severe stomachache and said weakly, "No, I can still hold on."
Sun Bomin suspected that the doctor prescribed a laxative, otherwise why would he have diarrhea after drinking it?
However, this doctor has always been the He family's personal physician, so it is not right to say that he wanted to harm people.
Sun Bomin's legs felt a little weak, but he had to continue squatting in the toilet.
He felt sad inside, it seemed that he really couldn't accompany Sun Shan to Beijing.
Even if I stop pooping at night, my body will still be very weak and I won't be able to go out.
Sun Boming regretted eating too much, drinking too much and being in such a good mood yesterday.
Today turned out to be a tragedy.
The news of Sun Bomin's illness soon reached Old Master He San's house.
Chen's heart tightened, and she asked uncertainly, "The Sun family got engaged to our Yun Jie'er yesterday, and today Sun Bomin fell ill. They won't blame our Yun Jie'er, will they?"
This was such a coincidence. Chen was so afraid that this marriage would be lost.
Then I thought, I have already given the betrothal gift, it would not be so unlucky to lose it.
Madam He San glanced at Chen sternly and said unceremoniously, "Chen, what nonsense are you talking about!"
Chen was so concerned that she came to her senses after her mother-in-law scolded her. She quickly said, "My mother-in-law is scolding me because I said the wrong thing."
Sister Yun was also worried about Sun Bomin's condition and asked with concern: "Grandma, mother, what happened to Uncle Sun? Why did he suddenly fall ill?"
He was fine yesterday, why did he report feeling unwell today? This is too strange.
He Shuqiang, who did not go to school, said directly: "Grandma, mother, I will go and take a look and then I will know what is going on."
Old Master He San asked He Shuqiang to visit with some gifts to see what was going on.
He Shuqiang took the order and immediately took his servants and sneaked to He Dagu's house.
In the end, Sun Bomin was not seen because Sun Shan said, "My father has a stomachache and is in the toilet."
In fact, no one should have known that Sun Bomin was ill, but someone happened to see a doctor entering Sun Dagu's house, so he asked who was sick.
The person being asked was the young man who was playing around everywhere.
Xiaozai was an honest child and he said directly that his uncle was sick.
Word spread from one person to ten, from ten to a hundred, and after an afternoon of spreading, it finally reached the ears of Old Master He San.
