Chapter 518 Riding a Tiger and Being Difficult to Dismount

Sun Shan and his companions looked at the sky and felt that it was getting late and that it was time to go back. Plus, there were still many onlookers around, so they should go back even more.

They just came here today to see the beautiful scenery, not to have others see them.

Sun Shan bowed and said goodbye to the onlookers.

The short and fat middle-aged man looked at Sun Shan reluctantly. This was the first time he had such close contact with a young, promising, kind-hearted and talented Juren.

The short and fat middle-aged man wanted to spend more time with them and remember this wonderful moment.

Sun Shan had no idea what he was thinking. He bowed, smiled, and then left.

The Chen family caravan was rich and powerful, and they had to pay money to get around when they went out. The Chen family rented a small courtyard for the scholar to stay in.

Sun Shan and his group returned to the small courtyard of the inn.

Chen Dongling looked at Sun Shan and said with a smile: "Brother Sun, I didn't expect you to be able to play the erhu so well. This skill cannot be acquired without ten or eight years of practice. This is the first time that I have discovered that the erhu can be played so well."

Sun Shan shook his head and said, "My erhu skills are not very good. What's good is the music and the scenery. Haha, I'm just taking shortcuts."

Everyone burst into laughter when they heard what he said.

Lu Yuming smiled and said, "Brother Sun is known as Sun Erhu, and his reputation is well-deserved. Haha, teach me how to play the erhu when you have time. The song I just played will be unforgettable for me."

Brother Chen shook his head and said, "Brother Sun plays the erhu well, the music is good, the scenery is good, but the best thing is Brother Sun's kindness. If someone threw silver at me, I would just think it was an insult to me, but I didn't expect Brother Sun to appreciate it. Haha, he even picked up the reward money and bought buns to give to the porters at the dock. Sun Shan has a heart for the people of the world, and I admire him very much."

Sun Shan immediately bowed and said, "Brother Chen San, please don't say that. I saw the porters working hard at the dock and they happened to get a lot of tips, so I thought of using the tips to buy steamed buns so that the porters can have a full meal. It's not worth it for Brother Chen San to praise me like that."

Everyone recalled what had just happened and praised Sun Shan.

Sun Shan waved his hands repeatedly, indicating that it was not as good as everyone said.

He Shujun glanced at Sun Shan deeply.

He thought that his third grandfather wanted Sun Shan to be his son-in-law only because he had no other choice.

After all, her cousin had never been able to get married because of her body shape, so she hurriedly looked for a husband from the list, and she picked a short, thin and slightly ugly scholar.

Although it was said to the outside world that it was Sun Shan who saved her brother's life, the sister repaid him with her own life, thus forming a good marriage and a good story.

He Shujun disagreed with this. Such rumors were obviously lies.

He Shujun couldn't understand why they chose a farmer's son-in-law as their grandson.

After what happened today, He Shujun understood a little bit.

No matter whether Sun Shan can pass the imperial examination, whether he can make his cousin an official wife, or whether he can give back to the He family.

But Sun Shan's qualities are rare. He does not have the arrogance of a scholar, but possesses the loyalty, honesty, simplicity and kindness of a farmer.

I can let my cousin entrust her life to me.

My third uncle and his family all dote on my cousin and definitely hope that she has a good home.

It seems that when choosing Sun Shan as their grandson-in-law, most people focus on his character rather than his talent.

Sun Shan had no idea that He Shujun thought so much. If he knew, he would definitely say that Yun Jieer not only valued his character, but also his talent, and even more so his tall and strong body that could protect her from wind and rain.

Sister Yun has a really good taste, Sun Shan gives her a thumbs up!

After dinner, Sun Shan took Gui Ge'er and Sun Dingnan back to the room.

Gui Ge'er looked outside and found no one, then whispered, "Brother Shan, I saw so much reward money today, and I really wanted to pick it up, but I was afraid that I would embarrass you, so I didn't dare to pick it up.

Brother Shan, next time I encounter such a situation, I will pick it up without saying a word.

Haha, I’ll pick it up so you can buy steamed buns for the people.

Haha, Brother Shan, you are really a good boy of our Sunjia Village, hardworking and kind-hearted. Brother Shan, I want to learn from you."

The reward money was scattered all over the floor, and Gui Ge'er kept looking at Sun Shan, hoping that Sun Shan would give him a signal to tell him whether to pick it up or not.

There was a lot of silver on the ground and he really wanted to pick it up so that he could supplement his travel expenses.

But Gui Ge'er knew that scholars regarded money as dirt and as a piece of trash.

If a servant of a juren master were to pick it up, it would damage Shan Ge's image.

Gui Ge'er didn't know what to do for a moment.

Sun Dingnan was moved and said, "Ashan, you are not a good man of our Sunjia Village. Our Sunjia Village is a good village with simple and kind-heartedness in the surrounding area. People outside say that our Sunjia Village has a good village style, especially after you passed the imperial examination, it is easy for both boys and girls to get married.

"You can think of using your reward money to buy steamed buns for the people today. When you become an official in the future, you will also serve the people wholeheartedly. Ah Shan, you must be a good official."

After hearing what happened today, Sun Dali said with red eyes: "Ashan can ask for such a low rent for the land, all for the sake of our fellow villagers in Sunjia Village to have enough food to eat.

Ah Shan, Uncle Dali is proud of you. Your grandfather is a kind and virtuous man, and you are his grandson, just like him, you are kind and virtuous.

It is the greatest blessing for our Sunjia Village to have a scholar like you.

It is also a blessing for Uncle Dali and his descendants."

Sun Shan was so upset that he wanted to tell them that he didn't want to donate the reward money, but with so many people watching, he had to donate it. He was in a difficult situation.

If there was no one he knew, he would definitely put the reward money into a bag and keep it safe.

It's a pity that the situation at that time did not allow him to ask for tips, as that would make him seem too materialistic and greedy, and would give people a very bad impression.

Sun Shan was unwilling to return the reward money, so he thought of this idea of ​​killing two birds with one stone.

He gained fame, the shop owner made money, and the porter benefited.

Well, in fact, his heart ached very much, thinking that if he played a few more pieces on the erhu, he might get more reward money.

What a pity that such an easy way to make money doesn’t work.

Sun Shan is so sad.

Seeing Guiger, Sun Dingnan and Sun Dali so moved, he felt so sad.

As expected, no one in the world understands him. Perhaps being the best in the world is exactly how he feels at this moment.

The next morning, Sun Shan and his group had breakfast early and continued on their journey.

Walking to the dock, we passed a group of porters.

Passerby A said, "Oh, I wonder if I can still eat big, white, fragrant steamed buns the day after tomorrow. The steamed buns yesterday were really sweet."

Passerby B The porter shook his head and said, "We can't eat it anymore. Yesterday, a scholar from Guangnan Province passed by here. He saw how hard we porters worked, so he spontaneously performed his talents to raise money. The money was used to buy steamed buns and was given to us. The owner of the steamed bun shop said that it would only be given for two days and there would be no more in the future. Oh, the scholar has to go to Beijing to take the imperial examination and has left Ganzhou City."

Passerby C said with a hint of disappointment: "What a pity! I can't eat such delicious steamed buns anymore. The scholars in Guangnan Province are really kind. I hope they can all pass the imperial examination."

After hearing this, Sun Shan and his companions looked at each other, smiled, and said nothing.

Quicken your pace, board the boat, and continue north.
