Chapter 503 Lychee Picture
When Su returned to Aunt Sun's house and learned that Sun Shan had received 20 taels of silver for free, she smiled as happily as Gui Ge'er.
He said cheerfully: "The government is good, and they also give me travel expenses. Haha, good, with these 20 taels, Shanzi's travel expenses will be more secure."
Su hurriedly put the silver in a small box and asked Gui Ge'er to guard it carefully.
He is very strong, so even if he encounters robbery, he can protect the money better than Sun Shan, a weakling.
Su then led Sun Dingnan, Sun Dali and Gui Ge'er to the yard and told them some things to pay attention to on the road.
In short, Sun Shan is the center. Money is external to one's body. If you encounter robbers, just give it to them if they want to rob you. Don't make unnecessary struggles. As long as you arrive in the capital and see Jing'er, you don't have to be afraid.
He told the three of them to talk less and do less when they were out, and it was best for them to stay by Sun Shan's side and not cause any trouble.
The most important thing is to listen to Sun Shan's command. After all, Sun Shan is the smartest person in Sunjia Village, so you can't go wrong by listening to him.
These words should have been said by Sun Bomin, but Sun Bomin was ill and could not let the bodyguards come in to give instructions, so Su had to do it for him.
Apart from his strength, Sun Dali has no other outstanding qualities. He is just an ordinary, dark-skinned farmer.
After hearing what Su said, she quickly responded: "Old Madam, I understand. I will follow closely behind the Juren Master and protect the Juren Master of Sunjia Village. Just like going to Yuelu Academy, I will take care of my luggage and stay in the inn. I won't go anywhere."
Su nodded with satisfaction: "Da Li is right, that's what we should do, especially when we are resting, we must not move around, if we can stay still, then stay still."
Sun Dingnan also assured: "Madam, I will also protect our Sunjia Village's Juren master. This is the first Juren master in our Sunjia Village in a hundred years. There must be no accidents."
As soon as he finished speaking, he was slapped in the face by the village chief who had just come in.
The village chief said angrily, "You stinky boy, I will beat you to death. What accident are you talking about? You are talking nonsense before you even leave. Bah, spit on me before you speak."
When Sun Dingnan was slapped by the village chief, he immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing.
He spat out a mouthful of water in a very superstitious way and said nervously, "Madam, Grandpa, I just said something wrong. I will say it again."
Sun Dingnan was panicked. Good things didn't work, but bad things did. He didn't want his mouth to become a crow's mouth.
Su was also angry, but the village chief beat her up, so she felt a little more at ease, and said in a stiff tone: "You can't talk nonsense outside, do you understand?"
Gui Ge'er secretly thanked himself for not saying anything. Shan Ge was right, the less you talk and the less you do, the fewer mistakes you will make.
Gui Ge'er immediately promised, "Madam, Grandpa Village Chief, I will protect the scholar from our Sunjia Village. I will follow Shan Ge closely."
Gui Ge'er didn't know what he was saying. Sometimes he called himself Juren Master, sometimes he called himself Shan Ge. It was a mess, with no rules or patterns at all.
Of course, Sun Dali and Sun Dingnan did the same, shouting nonsense.
Sun Shan did not see Su and the village chief admonishing the guards.
At this time, He Shuqiang came to the door again.
Sun Shan frowned and asked, "Brother Qiang, how come you have so much free time? Don't you have to go to school?"
I have seen He Shuqiang for many days since I came to Guangzhou. From his appearance, he seems to have never been to school.
He Shuqiang scratched his head and said with a chuckle, "Look, you proposed to my elder sister, and I'm so happy. I didn't go to school because I was so happy. Besides, you're leaving tomorrow, and I want to chat with you more. I'm afraid I won't see you again until after next spring."
Sun Shan was speechless, but he didn't scold him this time.
He Shuqiang is right. We are leaving tomorrow, so it would be nice for us to chat together.
He Shuqiang looked outside furtively, and seeing that there was no one around, he fumbled in his pocket and found a letter.
He said to Sun Shan, "Brother Shan, this is a letter from my elder sister. Please read it slowly. She will not see you off tomorrow."
Sun Shan was stunned for a moment, took the letter and put it away, nodded and said, "Yes, tell Yun Jie'er for me that I'm going to Beijing to take the exam. After the exam, I'll come back and marry her."
He Shuqiang rolled his eyes repeatedly and said speechlessly: "Brother Shan, you have no shame. You can say such things."
Fatty He thought it was okay to write down such words, but he actually told them to outsiders. How shameless.
Straight man Sun Shan said confidently: "Sister Yun and I are already engaged. We were going to get married next year. I am just stating the truth."
He Shuqiang continued to roll his eyes. He didn't want to argue with Sun Shan about this issue. He continued to rummage in his pocket and took out a purse. He handed it to Sun Shan and said, "Brother Shan, this is what Sister Yun embroidered for you."
Sun Shan took the purse, on which was embroidered the most colorful label of Lingnan - lychee.
The name of litchi is derived from the fact that “li” is similar to “li”, which means profit, meaning a lot of profit.
At the same time, it depicts a fruitful scene, creating the meaning of "profit and prosperity".
The meaning of the lychee picture embroidered by He Banyun is: I hope Sun Shan will reap fruitful results and have a happy harvest when he goes to Beijing to take the imperial examination.
Guangdong embroidery features bright colors, strong contrast, and is mostly done by men.
Sun Shan held the purse tightly, smiled and said, "Brother Qiang, thank Sister Yun for me. I will bring her some special products from Beijing."
He Shuqiang's eyes lit up and he said expectantly, "Brother Shan, please bring me some special products from Beijing. I heard that Shangjing roast duck is good. I want to try it."
He licked his lips while speaking, looking like a foodie.
This time it was Sun Shan's turn to roll his eyes. He said unhappily, "Brother Qiang, if you bring back the roast duck, it will probably become frizzy."
He Shuqiang's face fell, and he said bitterly, "Oh, what a pity. I heard that the most famous thing about this place is its roast duck, but I can't bring it back."
Sun Shan didn't want to talk to He Shuqiang, so he asked him if he had anything else to say, and if not, he should go back to study.
"Today after today, today is so short! If I don't do it today, when will this matter be over?"
He Shuqiang touched his pocket again, and Sun Shan looked at him anxiously.
He Shuqiang fumbled for a while, then pulled out a piece of paper. He handed it to Sun Shan and said, "Brother Shan, there's nothing I can do to help you. Here's 20 taels of silver that I saved from my frugal life. I'll make a meal for you."
Sun Shan suddenly had a silver note in his hand. He stuffed the note back, shook his head and said, "Brother Qiang, I have money for the trip. Thank you."
He Shuqiang stuffed some more money into Sun Shan's pocket and said, "Brother Shan, take this. A poor family can be rich on the road. Carry more money in your pocket so that you won't go hungry when you walk. This money is for you to live on. Don't refuse it."
Sun Shan took the money with great emotion and said, "Brother Qiang, since it is a kind gesture from you, I will not refuse it. You are so kind to me. Thank you."
After seeing He Shuqiang off, Sun Shan opened the letter from He Banyun.
I first saw a silver note, and then when I saw the denomination clearly, I was shocked. It was exactly fifty taels.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart that Sister Yun is really rich, no wonder she can eat so much and get so fat.
He saw another piece of paper, on which was written a short message asking Sun Shan to be careful on his journey, pay attention to safety, and wishing Sun Shan success in the imperial examination.
Finally, he wrote that if it is convenient, I should bring back some specialties from Beijing, and of course it would be better if they are delicious.
Sun Shan's mouth twitched and he didn't know what to say.
