Chapter 574 He Lixi finally likes Sun Shan a little bit

Sun Shan woke up at noon. He hadn't slept that long in a long time, and his whole body ached when he got up.

Gui Ge'er brought water for washing his face and said with a smile, "Brother Shan, did you sleep well last night? Hey, I slept well too. I haven't slept so soundly in a long time."

Sun Shan smiled, nodded and said, "Yeah, it's true that I sleep well. I slept until noon. Well, it's good to go home."

After washing up, Sun Shan had breakfast and lunch together.

Afterwards, he asked Gui Ge'er to deliver a visiting card to Master He San. Although Sun Shan didn't want to visit so early, it would seem unreasonable if he didn't go earlier.

Gui Ge'er hurried back and said happily, "Brother Shan, Old Master He San is free."

Sun Shan understood that Old Master He San was already retired and must be free.

The fact that he can see me immediately proves that he values ​​me very much.

After packing up his clothes, Sun Shan walked in front, while Gui Ge'er and Sun Dali followed behind, carrying two loads of Jinling specialties.

It’s not that Sun Shan wanted to do that, but the cloth took up a lot of space and he couldn’t carry it all by himself.

The He family's direct branch was not far from where Sun Shan lived, and it was only a few steps away.

When they arrived at the He family's house, the gatekeeper came forward from a distance and greeted them: "Mr. Sun, you are here."

Sun Shan gave Gui Ge'er a look, and Gui Ge'er understood immediately and handed a small purse to the doorman.

Sun Shan smiled and said, "This is what I brought back from Nanjing. You can play with it."

In fact, it was just some silver nuggets, specially beaten out to give to the servants. It was not easy to give them openly, so the most appropriate excuse was to bring them back from Nanjing.

As for Jin Luozi, Sun Shan is not yet that rich and powerful.

The concierge took it happily and said with a smile, "Thank you, Mr. Sun. Wait a moment, I will report to the old master first."

When Sun Shan came before, the doorman called him Young Master Sun. After he passed the imperial examination, the doorman started calling him Juren.

After a while, Sun Shan walked into the He family's house.

Because he was carrying two loads of local specialties, he attracted a lot of attention from his servants.

Sun Shan felt that he had a thick skin, so he could pretend not to see it.

In the past, I would have felt very embarrassed to give gifts like this, but as I get older, I don’t care so much about face anymore, and my thickness of skin has been increasing.

As I walked into the reception room, three fat men immediately appeared in front of me: Old Master He San, He Lixi, and He Shuqiang.

Especially He Shuqiang, he seems to have gained weight again and is full of fat.

Sun Shan was stunned. It was normal for the third old master to have free time at his age, so why didn't He Lixi have to go to work?

And Da Pangpang, why is he here too? Isn't he going to school?

Big Fatty gave Sun Shan a look. If his father and grandfather hadn't been there, he would have definitely rushed over with his temper.

Sun Shan gave him a wink, and Big Fatty immediately smiled.

Sun Shan first greeted Old Master He San and He Lixi.

Old Master He San and He Lixi were also stunned. They were not stunned by Sun Shan, but by the two loads of Jinling specialties.

Just now the doorman said that Mr. Sun brought a lot of things with him. Old Master He San and He Lixi thought they were just some gifts and didn't take them seriously.

When I saw two of Sun Shan’s clansmen coming in carrying two loads of things, I realized that “a lot of things” was really a lot.

It seems that Sun Shan is really as the legend says. He has become rich and is willing to give his wealth away after becoming rich.

Mr. Sun is quite generous.

Old Master He San asked with concern: "Shanzi, how are you? What did the imperial physician say?"

Sun Shan quickly responded, "Old Master, I am almost fully recovered now. The imperial physician also said that the toxins have been eliminated from my body. All that is left is for me to recover slowly."

He Lixi sighed and said, "You've really suffered this time. It's an unexpected disaster. Sigh, when people get unlucky, it's really unexpected."

He Lixi thought about all the possible scenarios of his future ugly son-in-law failing the exam.

I didn't expect that I would be poisoned by pig poison and fail in the attempt. I don't know what to say for a long time.

If Sun Shan was greedy and ate puffer fish, he deserved to be poisoned.

But he was the most cautious and timid among the candidates present, yet he was poisoned.

He Lixi thought it would be better to be greedy and eat pig fish with everyone else. Even if he was poisoned, he would be clearly infected and would not be poisoned again.

He Shuqiang couldn't help it, and hurried to Sun Shan and said, "Brother Shan, are you really well now? I see that you are thin and dark this time, and you look malnourished. It seems that you have not eliminated the toxins. Do you want to ask a doctor to take another look at you? Oh, I missed you so much. Now that you are back, I feel relieved."

Sun Shan tried his best to ignore what Big Fatty said earlier, only listened to the caring words later, and tried his best to laugh.

He said gently, "Brother Qiang, thank you for your concern. I am tired after the journey back, so I look haggard. Once I have a good rest, I will be back to normal."

Old Master He San nodded and said, "The imperial physician said you are fine, so you should be fine. You must not have slept well or eaten well on this long journey. Just return to Guangzhou and take care of yourself, and you will get better. Well, it is God's will, so don't mind it. If you miss it this time, you can wait for the next time. A blessing in disguise."

Sun Shan agreed and said, "You are right, old man. I have missed this opportunity and it is useless to think too much. I am recovering in Nanjing and have plenty of time, so I will go to Chongzheng Academy to study. I have not missed any classes there, which is a blessing in disguise."

Old Master He San and He Lixi nodded. They were very happy and relieved that Sun Shan did not forget to study even though he was sick.

He Lixi wanted to test Sun Shan's academic performance, but when he thought that he was only a scholar and had lower academic qualifications than Sun Shan, he decided to avoid making a fool of himself.

The same goes for Old Master He San. He is not a person who likes reading, so naturally his knowledge is not very good, and he has no way to verify Sun Shan's homework.

It seems that all the members of the He family who are good at studying are in the capital, and only the Jinshi masters in the capital can examine Sun Shan.

Sun Shan talked with Old Master He San, He Lixi, and He Shuqiang about the whole process of the poisoning and their life in Nanjing.

He Shuqian's eyes widened, and he said admiringly: "Brother Shan, you are amazing. You actually grow orchids in Jinling, and you sell a pot of orchids for 5 taels. That's amazing."

Sun Shan said with a smile: "Brother Qiang, my family is a flower grower. When I come to Nanjing, I will naturally go back to my old business. It is better to do something familiar than to do something new. I think it is not easy to live in Nanjing, so I must do something to make a living."

Old Master He San was not very happy that Sun Shan was focusing on growing flowers. He was still young and should focus on studying and prepare for the next imperial examination.

He Lixi, on the contrary, thought differently from Old Master He San and was very surprised that Sun Shan was planting flowers in Jinling.

I was even more surprised when I heard that a pot was sold for 5 taels.

A rough calculation shows that the ugly son-in-law must have made a lot of money from selling orchids, no wonder he could bring so many gifts.

He thought that if his eldest daughter married him, even if the Sun family was in decline and poverty, with Sun Shan's ability, they would be able to make a comeback and live a well-fed and well-dressed life.

He Lixi finally began to like Sun Shan a little and smiled with satisfaction.
