Chapter 575: Her Nervousness and Shyness Have Long Betrayed Her
Sun Shan chatted with the man from the He family for a long time.
He Shuqiang finally couldn't help asking, "Brother Shan, what did you bring me when you came back from Jinling this time? Is there anything delicious?"
With such a large pile of things, He Shuqiang was really jealous and wanted to go up and see if there was any Jinling Salted Duck.
He thought about it day and night, wanting to taste it and see if it was delicious.
He Shuqiang considered himself a good brother to Sun Shan. Even though Sun Shan became his brother-in-law, the brotherhood always surpassed the in-law relationship.
He Lixi glared at He Shuqiang speechlessly and shouted unhappily, "Brother Qiang!"
Sun Shan quickly said, "Uncle, Brother Qiang and I grew up together, and we can talk about anything. There's no need to be polite."
He Shuqiang was frightened at first when he saw his father's appearance, but after hearing what Sun Shan said, he immediately stood up.
He held his head high and said with a smile, "Father, Brother Shan and I have known each other since we were kids. Haha, we have a life-long friendship. We can say whatever we want. There's no need for so many etiquettes."
Sun Shan glanced at He Shuqiang meaningfully. The happier he was at this moment, the more miserable he would be later.
Sun Shan said cheerfully, "Yeah, Brother Qiang is right. We are all close friends, so there is no need to be polite."
After saying that, he took out a big package from a pile of gifts, which was specially wrapped in cloth.
He smiled and said, "Brother Qiang, I brought these back from Jinling especially for you."
When He Shuqiang saw a package, his round eyes opened wide and he said in surprise, "Brother Shan, is this really for me? It's such a big package, what's inside?"
Thinking that there must be delicious food in it, when he wrote to Jinling, he specifically asked Sun Shan to bring back a lot of delicious food.
Haha, it’s indeed his Shan brother. I like him the most.
Sun Shan just smiled without saying anything, and nodded to signal He Shuqiang to go forward and open it.
He Shuqiang was a fat, impatient man. He lifted it up and found it was quite heavy. He became even happier. It was so heavy, there must be a lot of stuff.
I eagerly opened the package and untied the cloth, but as I was opening it, I realized something was wrong and suddenly I didn't want to open it anymore.
Sun Shan smiled as softly as jade, and said as gently as the spring breeze: "Brother Qiang, open it quickly. I spent a lot of effort to get this thing back."
He Shuqiang had a bad feeling, but the package had already been opened, and he would be wrong not to open it, so he gritted his teeth and continued unpacking.
After opening it, there was still a layer of silk cloth wrapped around it.
They are all wrapped in silk cloth, so they must be very precious things.
But it was a neatly wrapped package, and He Shuqiang could already feel what was inside. He was sweating and trembling, and was unwilling to tear it open.
Old Master He San and He Lixi also wanted to know what was inside. Seeing that He Shuqiang was hesitant and still holding the pipa with his face half covered.
He Lixi said in dissatisfaction: "Brother Qiang, why don't you open it and see what it is? What are you dithering for?"
This behavior is not like his usual character at all, and He Lixi has no idea what he is up to.
At this moment, He Shuqiang was about to cry. He knew what was inside without opening it.
That feel, that taste, couldn't be more familiar.
He Shuqiang cried and said, "Brother Shan, you......"
Sun Shan whispered like Grandma Wolf: "Brother Qiang, open it quickly, I guarantee you will like it very much..."
Under the gaze of everyone, He Shuqiang slowly lifted the silk, revealing stacks of books.
His round, fat face could no longer smile. He looked at a pile of books, then looked at Sun Shan. He wanted to say something, but didn't dare to.
Old Master He San and He Lixi were very happy when they saw the thick stacks of books.
He Lixi asked cheerfully, "Ashan, what book did you bring for Qiang? You are so thoughtful to climb mountains and carry the book back."
Old Master He San was also very satisfied with such a generous gift. He smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work. You have always cared about Brother Qiang's studies since he was a child. The books you brought back this time must be carefully prepared."
Sun Shan said quickly, "Grandpa, uncle, these books were brought back from different colleges in Jinling by someone else. They are test questions for the college entrance examinations. There are not only test questions, but also many excellent articles.
I think my younger brother will take the college entrance examination soon. Before entering the examination room, it would be good to take a look at the test questions given by the teacher in Jinling.
Jinling has always been a place of great literary talent. I have learned a lot in just over a year there. It is a pity that I did not have the opportunity to go there, so I went to different academies to collect a lot of test questions so that I can learn from them. "
He Lixi said with emotion: "I knew you cared about Qiang Ge'er the most. You have cared about him like this since he was a child. Oh, you are so thoughtful."
Then he turned around and said coldly, "He Shuqiang, read it carefully and don't let Ah Shan down."
What could He Shuqiang say? He could only nod and agree with a sad face.
His grandparents clearly felt sorry for his misfortune and were angry at him for not fighting back, so how could he have the right to object?
I was thinking that there would be no one around later, so I should talk to Brother Shan and ask him not to bring these things back next time. It was really painful to read and do the exercises.
Madam He in the inner courtyard finally couldn't help it anymore and sent her maid to ask, "Old Master, Master, Madam wants to see Mr. Sun."
The maidservant trembled and stepped aside. She didn't want to come over to ask, but the old lady and the eldest lady in the inner courtyard were getting impatient and felt that their men were too talkative.
Old Master He San looked at Sun Shan and felt that Sun Shan was not an outsider, so he said, "Let the old lady and the first lady come out. Shanzi brought a lot of things over."
Sun Shan smiled, and for some reason he felt a little nervous. He pretended to be calm and stood aside, waiting for the women from the inner courtyard to come out.
After waiting for a long time, Madam He San led Chen and Yun Jie'er out step by step.
Sun Shan quickly stepped forward and bowed, "Greetings, old lady, first lady."
He nodded to Sister Yun again.
Sun Shan pretended to remain calm, held his head high and chest puffed out, but he was deeply shocked.
How come Sister Yun has lost so much weight?
It used to be two and a half Sunshans, but now it’s only one and a half Sunshans. What kind of diet pills must I have taken? I’ve lost so much weight in just one year.
Sister Yun glanced at Sun Shan with a red face and then dared not look at him anymore.
Madam He San asked with concern: "Ashan, how are you?"
Sun Shan quickly agreed.
Madam He asked with concern, "It's been a long time since you recovered. The imperial physician said you are fine, so you are really fine. But the disease is cured. You must be careful next time. It's pitiful that you have to suffer a sudden disaster for no reason."
Sun Shan quickly said, "Madam, I may not have calculated the almanac before going out, so I was so unlucky. But I am fine now. It's a blessing in disguise. I am very grateful."
Chen agreed and said, "You are right. If you survive a disaster, you will have good fortune in the future. You are lucky. I heard that being poisoned by porcupine is a life-threatening disease. But you survived and recovered. God bless you."
Sun Shan also told Madam He San and Madam He Da about life and study in Nanjing.
The two listened with great interest and sighed from time to time.
Yun Jie'er kept looking at Sun Shan secretly, and when Sun Shan looked over, she immediately lowered her head.
But her red ears already betrayed her nervousness and shyness.
