Chapter 829 The Bustling Sun Family Mansion (2)
The mothers-in-law gathered around Huang, saying nice things to her without asking for anything in return, while the daughters-in-law gathered around Su, also saying nice things to her without asking for anything in return.
The village chief's daughter-in-law looked at Su with a smile and praised her against her conscience: "Shanzi's mother, I think Shanzi will have a great future, thanks to your careful cultivation. Like mother, like son, like son, like mother."
A dragon gives birth to a dragon, a phoenix gives birth to a phoenix, and a mouse's son can dig holes. Sun Shan has a bright future, and the Su family will naturally prosper.
Even if the wives in the village do not think that Sun Shan was trained by the Su family, they will definitely say different things to different people.
Who said that the Su family is no longer the same as it was before?
Su curled her lips and proudly rolled up her sleeves, revealing her hands. Her dry and frail hands were adorned with two large gold bracelets, which looked very out of place. They were also bought by Sun Shan from Jinling.
Su deliberately showed everyone her big gold bracelet, and while touching it, she said, "No, no. My Shanzi has been well-behaved and sensible since he was young. Other kids would stay out all day playing in the mud, but my Shanzi would sit quietly and think about problems. The teacher said that only those who can sit still can study. Those who jump up and down are not good candidates for studying. Alas, some ignorant women and children still say that such jumping kids are good. Humph, what's good about them? They are still destined to farm."
As soon as these words came out, every daughter-in-law present was silent.
Everyone looked at Su awkwardly and didn't dare to say anything.
I remember that they gossiped about Sun Shan behind his back, saying that the little boy had no energy, stayed by the river all day, didn't move, and could sit there the whole day without being called, and looked like a fool.
Several wives present secretly said that Sun Shan was a fool, and Su and Sun Bomin heard it.
Several families even quarreled with Su and Sun Boming, and they almost came to a fight.
Su's words clearly showed that she still held a grudge.
Several daughters-in-law who had quarreled with Su lowered their heads in embarrassment, not daring to look at Su, for fear that Su would remember them and bear a grudge against them.
Now, as long as Su says a few words, their family's life will become difficult. Especially if Sun Shan becomes an official, they will be even more uneasy in Sunjia Village.
The Su family doesn't need to do anything, just simply distance themselves from the family, and it will be difficult for them to gain a foothold in Sunjia Village.
Then the wives thought that if Su really held a grudge against them, they would have had a hard time.
Ever since Sun Shan passed the imperial examination, their family's land has been registered under Sun Shan's name, and they have paid much less tax.
Hehe, it seems that the Su family is just talking and has no intention of dealing with them.
Moreover, Shanzi was the one they had watched grow up. Although he was as silent as a fool, he had a kind character.
Just by looking at the fact that he spent a large sum of money to buy big gold bracelets for Huang and Su, you can tell that he is filial.
A filial man can never be too bad.
They had offended Sun Boming. The Su family incident happened during the Xianfeng era, and Sun Shan might have forgotten about it long ago.
One of the daughters-in-law who had quarreled with Su deliberately pushed Aunt Sun away and sat next to Su.
He licked her face and said flatteringly, "Haha, Shanzi's mother, your pair of gold bracelets are so shiny, thick and heavy. You can tell at a glance that they are worth a lot of money. Oh, they must be given by our Shanzi. I have seen Shanzi grow up. He is a filial son and is famous in Huangyang County. Shanzi's mother, you are lucky to have such a good son. He is not only good at studying, but also filial. Oh, I am so envious."
Su glanced at this former rival and said, "Huh, he's not even worthy of carrying her shoes now."
But she had good taste and saw her big golden bracelet.
I'm afraid that apart from my mother-in-law, no one else in Sunjia Village has a big gold bracelet like hers.
Su curled her lips and said proudly, "My son Shanzi has always been filial. He bought this pair of gold bracelets from Jinling and gave them to me. Do you know Jinling? It's bigger and more prosperous than Guangzhou."
He pointed to a piece of silk clothing and said, "Jinling is most famous for its silk. Look, what I'm wearing is the silk cloth that Shanzi brought back from Jinling. Shanzi said that a small piece of silk cloth is worth at least 50 taels, and some are worth 100 taels."
This silk dress of Su's was made by Sister Yun herself. The workmanship is very exquisite. Anyone who is not blind can know that this dress is of great value.
Aunt Sun took the lead and said, "Sister-in-law, this dress is really beautiful. Not only is the material good, but the workmanship is also good. The material was bought by Shanzi, and the workmanship was done by Shanzi's wife. Sister-in-law is really blessed. Her son is filial and her daughter-in-law is also filial. I think there is no woman more blessed than Sister-in-law in the surrounding area."
When Second Aunt Sun said this, the daughters-in-law present immediately began to compliment her, saying nice things without asking for anything in return, and praising her more than the other.
As long as you are not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed.
Su looked at everyone with a smug look, feeling that she was not on the same path as them.
From now on, she is an official's wife, and these people in front of her are just common people.
Humph, not worthy of her attention.
The mothers-in-law and the daughters-in-law revolved around Huang and Su, while the young daughters-in-law and the little kids revolved around Yun Jie'er.
Because Yun Jie'er's belly was too big, she needed to use a quilt to prop her up high and sit next to the bed. At this moment, a group of young wives and children were chatting with Yun Jie'er.
Li Jinhua, who had just finished her confinement, held the baby in her arms and said with a smile, "Sister Yun, Brother Gui has always said that Brother Shan is the smartest person in the world. He will definitely pass the exam this time when he goes to Beijing. Haha, Brother Gui is right. Brother Shan passed the exam. Sister Yun, you will be the wife of a Jinshi in the future."
Li Jinhua had heard that a man who passed the imperial examination was called a Jinshi Master, so the wife of a Jinshi must be called a Jinshi Madam.
Yun Jieer smiled and did not correct Li Jinhua's way of addressing her. She looked at the baby in the cradle of Gui Ge'er's family and said softly, "Shan Ge has always been smart. I knew he would pass the imperial examination. I don't know when he will come back. I feel relieved that Uncle Dali, Brother Nan, and Gui Ge'er have been with Shan Ge all the way."
Sun Dali's wife waved her hands and said, "You can't say that. It was a great fortune for Ashan to choose my Dali to go to the capital. Oh, going to the capital is something I dare not even think about."
Sun Dingnan's wife echoed, "That's right, this is their great fortune. Being able to go to the capital is something many people dream of. If it weren't for Ah Shan's success, they would still be working in the fields."
Sun Dingnan's youngest son, along with Huming, Meizhu, Wanmei and other children, were squatting in Yun Jie'er's room eating candy.
When he heard about his father, he said crisply, "Mom, when will Dad come back? Will he bring me a gift?"
After hearing the first few words, everyone thought that Sun Dingnan's youngest son missed his father. But after hearing the latter part, they felt amused and angry, because it turned out that he was missing the gift.
Meizhu said, "Aunt Yun, when will Uncle Shan come back? He brought me a lot of delicious food last time."
Sister Yun touched Meizhu's pigtails and said happily, "It will be soon. Uncle Shan will be back soon."
Hu Ming also missed Shanbo and wondered when he would come back.
If he knew that he was eating and drinking for free, would he send him back to Yangjia Village?
