Chapter 652 Getting Married (3)
While the boys were picking up coins and candies, Sun Shan's brothers quickly ran forward, but they hadn't taken a few steps yet.
Suddenly, a group of teenagers emerged from another alley. Judging from their attire, they were obviously students from the academy.
Originally, this group of boys belonged to the men's camp. Sun Shan gave them lectures and also invited them to come to the wedding banquet.
As a result, because Yun Jieer was going to marry out of the Hong family mansion, these guys immediately changed sides and turned from the men's group to the women's group, and from the host family to the Hakka family.
The young leader stood up and shouted loudly: "If you want to get the bride, you have to get past us."
The group of boys at the back applauded enthusiastically and muttered that they would not let Sun Shan off easily and would not let him get married easily.
He Shuqiang couldn't help but shout from behind: "You guys, stop the men, don't let them come over so quickly. Stop them well, come on."
Before he could finish his words, his cousin He Shujun slapped him in the face, and he immediately pouted and dared not speak.
Sun Shan had a headache. Just when he had dealt with a group of little kids, another group of little kids came.
Deciding to overcome hardness with softness and play the warmth card, he cupped his hands and said softly, "Brother, I am your senior brother, we are in the same group, how can you stop me?"
They are young and reckless, at the age when they are fearless. When a group of young men are facing Sun Shan, how can they let him go easily? It is useless to play the emotional card.
The timid young man immediately shouted: "Brother, don't say these nonsense, we will not let you go easily today."
The boy behind him immediately echoed: "That's right, Senior Brother, please accept our test and stop talking so much."
Gui Ge'er ran over in a hurry and asked anxiously, "What kind of test is this? You guys can't play too hard."
What I really want to say is: If you don’t get out of here yet, don’t blame us for settling the score later.
One of the students, who thought he was as learned as Sun Shan, came out and said, "Brother, we are all civilized people. We fight with words, not with fists. Haha, brother, we will say the first half of the poem, and you will say the second half. When you say what we like, we will let you in."
After the student finished speaking, a group of scholars immediately clapped their hands and shouted loudly: "Well, today we want to see the literary talent of our senior brother. Senior brother, you should get ready quickly. Haha, if you don't answer well, we won't let you go."
Sun Shan felt insecure. He could recite poems, but he could not compose them.
In fact, it doesn’t matter if you can’t do it normally, but if you can’t do it in front of so many junior brothers, or if the quality is very average, it will be embarrassing. This must not happen.
Now, not only the Hong School, but even the county school thinks that Sun Shan is talented and eloquent, and a first-class genius. If they knew that Mr. Sun was not worthy of the title and was just a show-off, wouldn't it be embarrassing for them?
Sun Shan was just thinking of adopting a soft strategy, trying to persuade the enemy to let him go by falsely reasoning with him and appealing to his emotions.
If all else fails, then lure them with benefits or use threats to get them to let you go, but never reveal the truth that you are not a good poet.
Uncle Sun San, who was standing nearby, jumped out lively and pointed at the group of kids, saying arrogantly, "Writing poetry? It's so simple. I thought it was a difficult problem."
Then he pushed Sun Shan forward and said loudly: "Shanzi, write a poem for them and let them know your talent. You are the first scholar in Huangyang County. Write a poem, it will be great! Shanzi, come on~~"
Sun Shan's face was filled with black lines. His uncle was putting him on the rack and being roasted by the fire.
When the young man on the opposite side heard Uncle Sun Shan's arrogant words, he became more determined to defeat Sun Shan.
One of the young men jumped out and said, "Okay, today we must ask you to write a poem. Brother, if you don't do well, we won't let you go."
The fat He Shuqiang couldn't help but take a step forward and said loudly: "Brothers, come on, give me a question, let the groom write a poem, and make him stumped."
With the support of their elder brother-in-law, the students became even more excited and shouted, "Brother, come, come quickly."
Gui Ge'er was very anxious. He was the only one here who knew Sun Shan's strength best. Although he did not understand poetry or songs, Sun Shan's classmates understood him.
Gui Ge'er had already known from just a few words that his son Shan Ge's poetry writing was mediocre and not outstanding at all.
But Gui Ge'er believes that writing poetry cannot make a living, so it doesn't matter whether you can do it or not.
Therefore, Sun Shan's image as a tall, mighty and talented man would not be damaged in his mind just because he did not know how to write poetry.
The women's team shouted for a decisive battle, and the confused men's team also shouted for a decisive battle. They were noisy and crazy, and pushed Sun Shan forward.
Especially Uncle Sun, who is already old enough to be a grandfather, but still quarrels with a group of young people. It's really laughable.
Sun Shan rolled his eyes and gave Gui Ge'er a look.
Gui Geer understood immediately, walked forward with a smile and said: "Everyone, it's getting late, haha. Writing poems takes a lot of time, we don't play this game. Come, come, make way for fun. Haha, make way quickly."
After saying that, he pulled out another sack, opened it and saw that it was filled with strings of copper coins. Upon closer inspection, he saw that there were 20 coins in a string, enough to buy 2 kilograms of pork.
Gui Ge'er said loudly, "Those who want to get red envelopes, come here. One string for each person. Good luck and prosperity. I tell you, this is a red envelope from a scholar's family. It has a very good meaning. If a scholar gets it, he will definitely pass the county exam and prefecture exam next year, the academy exam in August, and the provincial exam the year after that."
Gui Ge'er tempted him with benefits and continued to say: "These are copper coins strung by our master, who was a juren scholar. Our master was praying while strung them, which is a good omen. Whoever wants them, come and get them quickly. The quick ones will get them, while the slow ones will get them. They will be gone after they are all distributed."
A group of young people's eyes lit up when they saw the red envelopes. A string of 20 copper coins was really a lot.
When I heard Gui Ge'er say that it was made by the Juren himself and that I could pass the exam if I could make him laugh, I became even more excited.
I must get this benefit. I am afraid that if I am a step slow, I won’t be able to get it and fail the county, prefectural, and academy examinations next year.
Suddenly a student said, "I want the profit. I must pass the provincial examination next year."
As soon as I heard it, I knew that this student had passed the county examination last year, but failed in the prefectural examination, so he urgently hoped to get the blessing of the scholar.
When one student rushed to grab the ticket, a group of students followed suit, all shouting, “I want one, too. I want one, too. I must get into high school next year.”
There were a few young people whose families were not poor and wanted to struggle at first, but when they thought that this was the red envelope made by the scholar himself, they were very excited.
He stopped struggling and rushed forward to grab it.
Money is one thing, but for a scholar, the most important thing is to get a good result and be admitted to university.
Sun Shan watched a group of scholars rushing to grab the red envelopes, and immediately led his relatives and friends forward, and finally arrived at the locked door.
Seeing He Shuqiang and Shujun laughing while watching the show, Sun Shan really wanted to beat them up.
