Chapter 710 New Year's Eve in Beijing
After meeting Kong Yi, Sun Shan went on to reminisce about the past with Chen Jin and made a special trip to the Guangnan Guild Hall to meet Chairman Liu Zhiyan.
I learned that Zhong Weifang and his cousin Xie Ziyu still failed the exam.
Speaking of Xie Ziyu, Sun Shan recalled the days when he and he were in Chouhao together.
Oh, I wonder if anyone has drawn the number next to the stinky one in this examination?
Thinking of the nine days of suffering in the Imperial Examination Hall and failing again, Sun Shan trembled all over.
Thank God and thank the ancestors of the Sun family, and thank Doctor Sun for blessing him, allowing him to pass the provincial examination in one try.
Even if you are the last one, you will pass the line and don’t have to endure nine days of darkness.
New Year's Eve came in a blink of an eye. My eldest cousin and his wife and their family went to the main branch He's house early to celebrate New Year's Eve.
As for Minister He, he was very honored to enter the palace to have New Year's Eve dinner with the emperor. When to come back depends on the emperor's mood.
Sun Shan held Douzai in his left hand and Jiujin, a chubby boy who looked exactly like He Shuqiang when he was a child, in his right hand.
From the nickname Jiujin, you can tell that he didn’t weigh nine pounds when he was born, he weighed 8 jin.
He is the youngest son of He Shuyun, the eldest grandson of Minister He, and is 5 years old this year.
It is said that her mother almost had a difficult labor when she gave birth to him, and it is said that because of him, her mother had problems with fertility.
I haven't been pregnant for five years.
Sun Shan likes Jiujin the most. Who doesn’t like a chubby little fat guy? Especially that body of fat, wow, it feels so good to touch.
Jiu Jin ate a candy, smacked his lips, and said, "Uncle Shan, can you take me out to play tomorrow? I heard there will be lion and dragon dances tomorrow, it will be very lively."
If he takes him, Sun Shan will definitely not take him out, because the little fat boy is a "burden".
Especially in crowded places, you must not take it out. If it is lost, Sun Shan cannot be responsible.
Sun Shan shook his head and said, "It's not good. The weather is cold. Xiao Wenzi can't go out to play. If you go out to play, you will catch a cold and have to take bitter medicine when you come back. Jiujin, you can't go out to play."
Jiujin was not happy. He wanted to go out and play because his friends told him that the world outside was wonderful.
Especially tomorrow is New Year's Day, there will be so much fun and delicious food, Jiujin really wants to go out and play.
She pestered Sun Shan, pouted, and said aggrievedly: "Uncle Shan, can you take me out? I want to go out and play. My classmates all want to go out and play. I also want to go out and don't want to stay at home."
Jiujin's grandparents and father and mother are not in the capital.
The eldest brother made an appointment with his classmates and didn't take him out.
My eldest sister is waiting to be married and cannot go out without permission.
As for his great-grandfather and great-grandmother, they would never take him out.
Second uncle and third uncle are busy all day long, and no one knows what they are busy with. Jiujin is rarely seen.
After searching for a long time, he found Sun Shan, whom he had just met.
Jiujin was curious about the uncles and aunts of the He family, so he often went to the courtyard to play with them, and gradually became familiar with Sun Shan.
Especially since Sun Shan often brought him little gadgets, they became even more familiar with each other.
Before Sun Shan could say anything, Douzi beside him immediately replied, "Jiujin, you can't go out tomorrow. There are too many people here, and children are better off staying at home."
He turned around and looked at Sun Shan and asked, "Uncle Shan, am I right?"
It’s not that Douzi didn’t want to go out, but he was restricted by his mother early on, so he had no choice but to say some words against his will.
This boy is so scheming!
Sun Shan looked at Douzai in confusion. It was obvious that this kid liked lively people, so how come he suddenly became so sensible?
But Douzai was right. He nodded in agreement: "Douzai is right. We can't go to crowded places. Be careful of kidnappers."
Sun Shan told them about the time when he was playing in Hejia Village. He avoided being kidnapped by kidnappers because he didn't go out to join in the fun.
He also told them that there was a little boy from the He family in Hejia Village who ran away on his own because he was too playful, and was drugged and knocked unconscious by a kidnapper and then abducted.
Finally, Guan's family rescued him, but he became an idiot because of the drugs he took.
It's miserable to wander around Hejia Village drooling all day.
Douzai and Jiujin knew that Hejiacun was their hometown, but they had never been back and repeatedly expressed their disbelief.
Jiao'er and Ke'er had lived in Hejia Village and knew that this was true.
Ke'er said sternly, "What Shan's uncle said is true. There is a cousin in He's Village who has become a fool. He eats other people's leftovers all day long and scares and beats children from time to time. When his parents saw him like this, they locked him up with an iron chain. It's very pitiful.
My grandma told me that this cousin was a very good student when he was young. He often ranked first in exams. The teacher praised him and said that he would have a bright future. But he ran away one day because he wanted to play. Then he was drugged by a kidnapper. After that, he became a fool in the village and acted crazy everywhere. It was so pitiful.
Turning around, he asked Sun Shan, "Uncle Shan, am I right? That cousin was originally very intelligent and a good student, but now he has become a fool that is despised by his parents."
Sun Shan didn't know whether the He family's idiot cousin was smart or good at studying when he was young.
But Sun Shan was always very supportive and said seriously, "Ke'er is right. He was a good man, but because he was too playful and went to a crowded place, he was finally knocked unconscious by the kidnapper and became a fool. Alas, he really committed a sin."
Then he looked at Douzi and Jiujin seriously, his eyes wide open, and said viciously: "You can't run out without permission. If you are spotted by the kidnapper, he will feed you medicine and you will become fools."
Douzi and Jiujin were pale and huddled together trembling.
It’s not that what Sun Shan said was so scary, but that Sun Shan’s expression was very ferocious, especially his drooping triangular eyes, which were as ferocious as Great-grandfather’s big round eyes.
The two little kids were horrible.
Seeing that the intimidation was effective, Sun Shan couldn't help but laugh.
Looking at the guest in a long gown, the young boy was taller than him, with a handsome face and a thin figure. Sun Shan liked him more and more.
As expected, he is the son of my eldest cousin and his wife, he is indeed a handsome boy.
Even better than the master.
Madam He waited for a long time. It was already dark, and Minister He was still in the palace having New Year's Eve dinner and had not returned yet. So she stopped waiting and asked the servants to start the banquet.
Sun Shan watched with a smile as plate after plate of delicious food was served, feeling more satisfied than ever before.
Eating is a blessing, Sun Shan likes to have big meals the most.
Gui Ge'er, Sun Dingnan, and Sun Dali also followed Sun Shan to eat and drink. Everyone gathered together and raised their glasses to toast.
However, the three people from Sunjia Village did not dare to eat freely, for fear that their eating manners would be too ferocious and would embarrass Sun Shan. They picked up the food carefully and did not dare to stretch out their chopsticks.
Sun Shan was delighted and quickly picked up some meat and vegetables for them.
Gui Ge'er's eyes sparkled as he looked at Sun Shan with emotion.
His Shan Ge is still the best and treats him better. Gui Ge likes his Shan Ge the most.
After eating and drinking, the men of the He family sat in the yard to keep watch. They waited until very late before Minister He returned home.
Sun Shan saw Minister He, who was exhausted and returning under the moonlight.
It seems that having New Year's Eve dinner with the emperor is not a good thing. The meal will probably not be very good.
Sure enough, Jiujin, the traitor, quietly told Sun Shan that his great-grandfather would look for food when he came back, and his great-grandmother was serving him.
It seems that Minister He did not eat enough in the palace.
