Chapter 836 You are shorter, you need to eat more
Sun Shan was amused and angry, and gave Gui Ge'er a lecture: "Gui Ge'er, Uncle Dali and Brother Nan go to the dock to carry sacks. The best time is only 200 coins a day, and usually or coins, and there is often no work.
If the two of them were allowed to earn 100 taels without eating or drinking, it would take them several years on average to earn that much.
I only went to your Shan brother twice, gave some advice, and spent only a few days, and he gave me 100 taels. This price is already very expensive, don't think that 100 taels is easy to earn. "
Gui Ge'er said what he was thinking: "Brother Shan, you are now a Jinshi, I think you are priceless, no matter how much money you give me, it is not too much. 100 taels is too little for you.
The advice you gave is very good, although I don't understand what you mean by infection or poison. But it sounds very powerful. I'm afraid you are the only one here who knows what disease the roses in that patch have. This is precious and of course worth a lot of money. "
Gui Ge'er thought that his son Shan Ge was the smartest boy in the world, even smarter than Du Zhuangyuan.
As for why he failed to pass the imperial examination and became Du Zhuangyuan, it was all because of Uncle Min who held him back. He did not provide Shan Ge with a good study environment, nor did he find a good academy or a good teacher for him.
If Shan Ge had the qualities of Du Zhuangyuan, he would definitely be able to take the top spot.
Gui Ge'er thought that Uncle Min was not helpful and was holding Shan Ge back.
But Brother Shan is awesome and doesn't hold Xiao Xiaoshan back.
In the future, Xiao Xiaoshan will have a great chance to become the top scholar in the imperial examination. As for his own Xiao Xiaogui, he will also be more promising than himself and become the top scholar's student.
Sun Shan had no idea that Gui Ge'er was thinking about something else again, so he said seriously, "Gui Ge'er, your advice is priceless, and I agree with it.
But priceless can be worth a sky-high price or not worth a penny.
It is suggested that its value can only be realized by buying it with money.
Mr. Liu spent 100 taels to buy this suggestion, and I am willing to sell it, which means that this suggestion is worth 100 taels.
If I bid 1000 taels, people would definitely scold me for being money-grubber.
Brother Gui, you have to remember that only things that can be sold are valuable. Things that cannot be sold are worthless even if you think they are worth a fortune. "
After a pause, he said with finality: "Brother Gui, the owner of the Liu family has given 100 taels, which is already very generous. Don't think too much. If you want more, you will be greedy."
Gui Ge'er didn't understand what he heard, as he wasn't a very smart person to begin with.
No, it’s because Sunjia Village is too remote, too closed, and there are too few smart people. It can’t be blamed on Guier.
Gui Ge'er hummed and said timidly, "Brother Shan, you said I don't understand much and I'm stupid. But I know if you said it's enough, then it must be enough. If someone as smart as you thinks it's good, then it must be good. Brother Shan, I will listen to you in everything."
Sun Shan waved his hand and asked Gui Ge'er to separate the food and clothes.
Sun Shan looked at the gift list, which contained some cakes, dried meat, cloth, and some study tools that a scholar could use.
There are not many gifts, but they are all very practical.
They are indeed a wealthy family, and the gifts they prepared are very thoughtful.
Sun Shan picked up some things he could use, selected some edible ones to keep, and asked Gui Ge'er to carry the rest to the inner courtyard.
Although these things were given to Sun Shan, he still lived and ate at the He family, and even relied on the He family for help in seeking official positions.
Sun Shan decided to treat the He family as his own home, and explained everything to them in detail, and also shared all the gifts with them.
When Mrs. He saw the load of gifts, she knew someone was giving Sun Shan a gift, but she didn't know who was sending it or why, so she looked at Sun Shan in confusion.
The personal nanny was very familiar with Sun Shan. When she saw the load of gifts, she asked in surprise, "Uncle Sun, where did these things come from?"
Sun Shan sat below Madam He and explained the whole story with a smile.
He smiled and said, "The Liu family owners are so kind. I gave them some advice, and they gave me so many gifts. I didn't want them, but it's hard to refuse their kindness."
Sun Shan spread his hands, expressing that he was also helpless and couldn't take the person away.
Old Madam He was not surprised by the gift from Mr. Liu. It was only right to give gifts when someone helped you point out a problem.
When they heard that the roses in Liujiayuan were in great trouble, they lamented: "We went to Liujiayuan last year, how come the roses are sick this year? The roses in the garden are of many types and colors, and they are fragrant. It's a pity. Such a good garden can no longer grow roses. I won't have the chance to visit it in the future."
The personal nanny agreed, "Yes, old lady. Last year you said that the roses in Liuyuan Garden were well-deserved of their reputation. How come they got sick this year?"
After a pause, he turned around and asked Sun Shan: "Son-in-law, is it really impossible to save it? That's such a pity."
The He family knew that Sun Shan's family grew flowers, so they believed that Sun Shan had certain professional knowledge.
It’s a pity to think that such a nice flower garden can no longer be used to grow roses.
Sun Shan shook his head and smiled slightly. "You can still enjoy the flowers in one or two years, but it's hard to say what will happen in the future. It's a pity that I can't enjoy the flowers in such a rose garden anymore. It's a pity."
Sun Shan chatted with Mrs. He about this and that, talking about the capital and their hometown.
He stayed in the inner courtyard at night and had dinner with Minister He.
When the little fat boy Jiujin saw so many delicious foods, he didn't want to eat more and just waited for snacks after the meal.
Sun Shan said jokingly, "Jiujin, if you don't eat more rice and only eat cakes, you won't grow taller. Only by eating can you grow taller. If you grow too short, it will be difficult to ride a horse. Didn't you say last time that it was difficult to get on a horse? Your classmates all laughed at you. You even said you were very sad."
Although Jiujin is young, he has already started horse riding lessons.
Of course, the so-called horse riding refers to riding some children's horses, and no one dares to ride a big horse.
Moreover, when riding horses, the horse master would hold the little students like Jiujin by the hand, and would never dare to let go.
The only thing we do is to teach kids like Jiujin to get in touch with horses and become familiar with them from a young age, so that they can develop better riding skills when they grow up.
Jiujin was not short among his classmates, but he was fat and too heavy to ride a horse.
Being laughed at by classmates.
Jiujin tried to save face in school, but cried sadly when he returned home.
How could Sun Shan dare to say that it was difficult to ride a horse because he was nine pounds fat?
I had to tell him that he didn't eat enough meals, so he didn't grow tall and his legs weren't long enough to ride a horse. Only by eating well can he grow taller, ride a horse well, and not be laughed at by his classmates.
Jiujin has forgotten the pain after his wound has healed. This kid has cried and will continue to do what he is supposed to do.
I said confidently: "Uncle Shan, I have learned how to ride a horse now. I don't need longer legs or height. My classmates no longer make fun of me."
After a pause, he added, "Uncle Shan, I still prefer to eat cakes. You are shorter, so you need to eat more."
