Chapter 745: I'm short to begin with, thinking too much will make me shrink
It was very normal for Sun Shan to invite the old lady to dinner.
Others have taken great pains to take care of you, so inviting them to a meal is already a small gift. It would be better to give them a generous gift as well.
But when Sun Shan thought of the money in his pocket, he could only sigh.
In case he is really lucky and stays in the capital to be an official, he should save the money in his pocket and buy a house when the time comes.
Gui Ge'er is actually right. Renting a house is not cost-effective and inconvenient. It is better to buy a house.
However, it happily caused a huge stir in He's house.
He Shujun ran over and asked, "Ashan, I heard that you invited Grandma to dinner? Is it true or false?"
Sun Shan nodded, then shook his head and said, "Really? I'm not only inviting Grandma to dinner, I'm also inviting you to dinner. By the way, don't invite anyone for lunch tomorrow. Let's go to Qinhuai Mansion for dinner together."
The so-called "Qinhuai Mansion" is actually a restaurant specializing in Jiangnan cuisine.
The late emperor was from the Jiangnan area in a broad sense, and his favorite food was Huaiyang cuisine.
Many high-end restaurants in Beijing serve Huaiyang cuisine.
When Sun Shan invites people to dinner, he not only considers the taste of the food, but also the environment of the restaurant and the price.
I feel embarrassed to bring anything to lower-end places.
After careful selection, she chose a mid-range restaurant that was worthy of her status as an old lady and of course within her wallet.
He Shujun asked in confusion: "Ashan, why did you invite grandma to dinner instead of grandpa?"
If we want to thank the He family for taking care of us, we should invite the head of the family, why the grandmother? What is the meaning of Ah Shan doing this?
Sun Shan said confidently, "Brother Jun, my great grandmother and great grandfather are a family. If I invite my great grandmother, I am also inviting my great grandfather. It doesn't matter who I invite. Besides, my great grandmother has worked hard to take care of our daily life and diet these days, especially the ginger tea with her ancestral secret recipe, which played a significant role in my examination.
In the examination room, I was able to successfully complete the examination because of this bowl of ginger tea. I always remember the meticulous care of my great grandmother and always wanted to repay her.
It's a pity that I have no one to turn to, and no things to turn to. My great-grandmother has everything I have, and my great-grandmother also has everything I don't have. I don't know how to repay her, so I can only treat her to a simple meal to express my gratitude. Of course, I will remember the kindness of my great-grandfather to me."
He Shujun's mouth twitched, not knowing what to say.
What Sun Shan said made a lot of sense. Every time they went to the capital, the grandmother really took care of them in every detail.
She asked the doctor to prepare test samples and gave numerous instructions, all of which highlighted her goodness.
He was blind and didn't see it or remember it.
He Shujun said with great guilt: "Ashan, you are right. We ignored the hard work of our grandmother. It is our fault."
Sun Shan shook his head and said in disagreement, "Brother Jun, what are you talking about? You are a member of the He family. In your eyes, the great grandmother is just like your own grandmother. It is normal for a grandmother to be kind to her grandson. You treat the great grandmother as your own grandmother, so you ignore her. This is not your problem."
After a pause, he continued, "As for me, my surname is Sun. I am an outsider anyway, so I can feel the kindness of the grandmother. This is what they call a bystander sees more clearly than an insider. Jun, this is not your fault, don't blame yourself."
Sun Shan comforted He Shujun in this way and that and asked him to be filial to his grandmother from now on.
They are members of the He family, so there is no need to be too polite. Being too polite would make them seem distant.
Before leaving, Sun Shan reminded him, "Remember to have lunch together tomorrow. It's my treat."
Sun Shan went to comfort He Shujun and other members of the He family.
Minister He complained to the old lady, "Why did Ah Shan invite you to dinner but not me?"
If you want to invite Sun Shan to dinner, you should invite him, why invite his wife? What the hell is going on? He doesn't seem to be so ignorant of etiquette.
Old Madam He really wanted to roll her eyes, but she had been brought up as a lady from childhood to adulthood, so she couldn't do the indecent gesture of rolling her eyes.
He said lightly, "No, Ah Shan also invited you to dinner and sent you an invitation. The date is tomorrow at noon at Qinhuai Mansion."
Minister He frowned when he saw Sun Shan's invitation.
He was indeed invited to dinner, and the name written on it was Mrs. He’s name followed by “with family.”
He did become a family member, and at first glance, it seemed that he could only eat by relying on his wife's favor.
Are you asking me to treat him to a meal? This is obviously a side job.
Old Madam He saw that Minister He’s fat face was wrinkled and his big eyes were almost drowned.
She said happily in her heart: "Ashan thanked me for taking care of him during this period, and especially thanked me for the ginger tea I carefully prepared for him. He also said that it was because of this ginger tea that he was able to walk out of the examination room alive instead of freezing to death. Well, in fact, what I did was normal. Ashan is a grateful child, and Sister Yun found a good husband."
After saying a few words lightly, he left in a lighthearted manner.
No matter what, Sun Shan invited her to dinner in front of her family, and Mrs. He was happier than ever.
It’s like all my hard work has finally been recognized and my hard work has finally been acknowledged.
Sun Shan quietly went to find Minister He, but he didn't expect that inviting him to a meal would cause such a big commotion.
I was questioned by many people, and after thinking about it, it seemed that this was a bit inappropriate.
At the beginning, I only treated the old lady to dinner out of my sincere gratitude.
Then he thought that he couldn't just ask the old lady to come along, so he took everyone along.
Now that we realize that in this Daqian era where the husband is the most important person, Sun Shan’s behavior was indeed wrong.
He immediately went to find Minister He to explain.
Minister He stared at Sun Shan and said calmly, "What do you want from me?"
Oh, I have used all my skills, and Sun Shan is a little scared. What should I do?
Sun Shan lowered his head, cupped his hands, and said with a flattering face, "Grandpa, hey, look, I have something to say about inviting grandma to dinner."
Minister He had a blank expression on his face, his eyes wide open, and he looked very ferocious: "If you have something to say, just say it. I am very busy."
Sun Shan still showed his eight teeth and explained with a professional smile: "Grandpa, I am very grateful for your care for me, and of course I am also grateful for the care of Grandma.
It was freezing cold in the examination room, and I came alive by drinking the ginger tea that my great-grandma prepared for me. I thought to myself that I must treat my great-grandma to a meal after I left the examination room.
As soon as I came out, I fell ill again and was out for several days. When I get better, I will definitely fulfill my original idea and treat my great grandmother to a meal and thank her. Hehe, great grandfather, I really didn’t think too much about it. I just wanted to treat my great grandmother to a meal and thank her for her care. "
Minister He said calmly, "Okay, I understand."
Then he waved his hand and let Sun Shan go out.
Sun Shan didn't know what Minister He was thinking, so he said before leaving, "Grandpa, you have a day off tomorrow, remember to have lunch together, I've already reserved a table."
After saying that, he dodged and ran out. As for what Minister He thought, it was better not to care too much, because there was nothing you could do even if you cared.
I am short to begin with, and if I think too much I will shrink.
