Chapter 579 Every family has sutras that are difficult to recite

In the end, Sun Shan took He Shuqiang and He Shutong to the teahouse for tea, and he still paid the bill.

The two brothers followed Sun Shan, one on each side, smiling.

He Shuqiang also said that he would continue to hang out with Sun Shan tomorrow, while He Shutong said that he had to go to school tomorrow and was very sorry that he could not come out to play.

Sun Shan slapped He Shuqiang and sent him flying. Who else is as idle as he is?

Sun Shan is very busy.

The next day, Sun Shan gave many gifts to his fellow travelers who were going to Beijing for the imperial examination.

The reason why he survived the disaster and made a fortune was all thanks to the help of his teammates.

If I had to rely on myself, I would have been buried in a foreign land long ago. As a human being, we should be grateful and repay kindness.

Now that you're back, you should at least let me know.

When He Shujun saw Sun Shan, he was very happy and kept asking Sun Shan about the situation in Nanjing.

Sun Shan told him everything.

Old Master He San knew about it, and Old Master He Er must have known about it. There was no need for the He family to hide it. It should be said that no aristocratic family had any need to hide it.

They had many channels to get the news, no less than what Sun Shan knew as he was there himself.

He Shujun sighed and said: "Hey, this is a big deal, we don't know what to do. Anyway, we just watch what others do and choose the most advantageous side to follow. We are in Guangnan, which is located in the southernmost part. The distance gives us enough time to assess the situation. Fortunately, we are not at the forefront."

Sun Shan agreed with this, nodded and said, "Brother Jun, you are right."

Afterwards, the two exchanged knowledge with each other.

In fact, it was their first time to exchange knowledge. Being on the road, the journey was hard enough, so how could they have the mood to study?

He Shujun also has big eyes. It seems that the He family has inherited big eyes.

He said in surprise: "Ashan, it seems that you have learned a lot in Chongzheng Academy. There are many viewpoints that I have never heard of."

Sun Shan smiled and said, "Nanjing is a place of great literary talent and beauty. Although I lived there for more than a year, I learned a lot. Many academies in Nanjing have lectures, and I often go to listen to them. I write down what I think is good. There are many things that are very new and refreshing to hear. They are very different from the academies in Guangnan. Oh, if I have the opportunity, I really want to continue my studies in Nanjing."

He Shujun also became interested and kept asking Sun Shan about Jinling's studies.

He talked until Sun Shan was dry-mouthed and then let him go.

Before leaving, he said, "Ashan, we have to study hard now. Two years later, we will go to Beijing together to take the exam."

When Sun Shan heard the words "going to Beijing to take the exam", he paused and shook with fear.

My scalp tingles at the thought of having to make the same journey again.

Well, don’t think too much about it, let’s talk about the future later.

It took a day to visit everyone.

Some are at home, some are studying in academies, and some are not in Guangzhou, such as Chen Dongling who went out to do business.

Sun Shan really admired this. Chen Dongling had enough energy to travel all over the country. No wonder the Chen family was so wealthy.

Walking into the Chen family’s house is a completely different feeling than walking into the He family’s house.

The Chen family is also a scholarly family, so the decoration of the house is not magnificent, but low-key and luxurious, revealing a simple and precious feeling. It looks very ancient and wealthy at first glance.

The He family seems to be a family of farmers and scholars. They are low-key, but not to the extent of being luxurious. They appear to have a good family background, but they do not look rich.

No wonder He Shujun said that the He family and the Chen family started together, but the Chen family is now ten blocks ahead of the He family. They are truly a wealthy family that people envy.

Sun Shan stayed in Hejia Village for three days and then set off for home.

Aunt Sun instructed, "When you get home, ask your father and mother to come over to discuss the date of your wedding. This year is a good year, and there are many good dates for weddings. You can pick any one of them. When you come back, you should first take care of the important matter of your wedding. As for finding a college to study or finding other things to do, put them aside for the time being. Do you understand?"

Could Sun Shan say he didn’t know?

I had no choice but to nod and say, "Aunt, I understand. I will tell my father and mother about the marriage when I get back."

In fact, Sun Shan didn't need to say anything, Sun Boming and Su would definitely bring up this matter first.

Sun Shan is 21 years old, a bachelor. Men of his age who are still unmarried are either from poor families or have extremely bad character.

Not only was Sun Shan not from a poor family, he also had good character and was a juren. There was no reason for him to get married so late.

Sun Boming and Su's hair turned white with worry.

I wish Sun Shan could get married today and pop out a small mountain tomorrow.

In addition to the "going to Beijing to take the exam" group, those who accompanied Sun Shan back this time included Mingge'er, Qingge'er, Guangge'er and their wives.

Of course, He Shuyu was also sent by Aunt Sun and Uncle He to accompany them back.

I am not worried about Sun Shan’s personal safety, but the safety of Sun Shan’s property.

This time Sun Shan earned 6000 taels, and after deducting the expenses for food, clothing, housing, transportation, gifts, etc., he still had 500 taels left for orchids.

6500 taels of silver visible to the naked eye is a huge sum of money and must be escorted home properly.

Aunt Sun and Uncle He discussed it and went to Sun Shan to ask, "Shanzi, you have a lot of money now, why don't you take some out and buy something in Guangzhou?"

Aunt Sun added: "If you pass the high school entrance exam, you will naturally have a place to go. If you fail, you can't stay in Sunjia Village. After thinking about it, you will definitely come to Guangzhou Prefecture. Whether it is studying or finding a job, it is worse than Sunjia Village. Why not buy a house here and have a place to stay."

Uncle He agreed, "Your aunt is right. Sunjia Village is a remote place. There is no future in it. It's different in Guangzhou. There are many opportunities. Moreover, the housing prices in Guangzhou have been rising in recent years. It's better to buy early than late."

Sun Shan had never really thought about buying a house in Guangzhou. He always felt that he had no place to live. Apart from Huangyang County, which was his hometown, he had been to many places over the years and felt uneasy.

But now it’s different. He is getting married and he really needs to consider buying a house.

Sun Shan was a little dazed, and his childhood memories came to his mind: Sun Boming and Su once said that the two of them would save money slowly and plan to buy a house in the provincial capital.

As a result, all the money the couple had saved was spent by Sun Shan, and they became penniless, so the idea of ​​buying a house was not mentioned for a long time.

Sun Shan thought for a moment and said, "Aunt, uncle, you are right. It is better to buy a house sooner rather than later. I want to buy one near you so that I can see you all day long."

Aunt Sun and Uncle He were deeply moved.

Aunt Sun said excitedly, "Okay, Shanzi, let's buy a house near us. I've known you're filial since I was a child. You're really my good Shanzi."

Uncle He said with emotion: "Shanzi is still filial. Hey, uncle, don't be afraid of you laughing at me. None of your cousins ​​want to live with us. Only you are the most filial and are willing to stay with us two old guys."

Every family has sutras that are difficult to recite.

The more sons you have, the more daughters-in-law you will have. The more sons and daughters-in-law you have, the more grandchildren you will have.

Although Aunt Sun and Uncle He tried their best to treat everyone equally, no matter what they did, they could never satisfy their descendants.

The more people there are, the more noise there is.

Everyone tries to pretend to be ignorant.

I don’t know which cousin or grandchild said something that made Aunt Sun and Uncle He sad.

That's why they were so excited when they heard that Sun Shan hoped to see them all day long.

Sun Shan couldn't say anything. Even an honest judge couldn't judge family affairs. He could only comfort Aunt Sun and Uncle He.
