Chapter 857: Want to make people happy, catch the son, grandson straddle
Sun Shan returned the greeting politely and continued with what he was doing.
There are many taverns nearby. I didn’t expect that Manager Li also chose this one. Looking at those people, they should be partners.
Later, I heard the shopkeeper recommend Zhanggong wine to Manager Li.
Sun Shan couldn't help but think secretly: The profit of this Zhang Gong wine must be very high, otherwise the manager would not recommend it to every table of guests.
Oh, it turns out that there is no dishonest businessman. The shopkeeper will do anything for money.
The short and fat Shen was stunned for a moment, his mouth slightly open, staring at Sun Shan without blinking.
Sun Shan smiled and asked, "The one just now was the steward of the same boat as mine."
The short and fat Shen didn't ask that. He was surprised and said, "Mr. Sun, you...you are an official now?"
where is he?
Who did he eat with?
Mr. Sun is actually an official?
He ate with the official.
Oh, so exciting, such a surprise.
I really want to scream.
Sun Shan still kept smiling: "I gave up halfway three years ago, and went to Beijing to take the exam three years later. Thanks to the grace of Your Majesty, I am now on the list."
The short and fat Shen stood up excitedly and bowed his luggage solemnly.
He shouted in a sharp tone: "Master Sun, I didn't know that you had already passed the imperial examination. I was rude just now. Please forgive me, Master Sun."
This sound attracted a lot of attention, and Sun Shan quickly asked the short and fat Shen to sit down.
Wen said gently: "Brother Shen, it's okay to be ignorant, don't be nervous."
It would be a lie to say that he wasn't nervous, but with so many people watching, the short and fat Shen followed Sun Shan's instructions and sat down again.
He was still very excited and shouted: "Lord Sun, you, I...I, you..."
The short and fat Shen was incoherent and didn't know what to say.
It seems that saying anything is wrong, and not saying anything is also wrong.
Sun Shan smiled and said soothingly, "Brother Shen, you met in Ganzhou by chance, and you met again in Ganzhou. It's all fate. Three years ago, I was a juren in Erhu, and three years later, I am only a jinshi in Erhu. There is no difference. Brother Shen, don't be nervous, just do as usual."
Sun Shan picked up a piece of Three Cups Chicken for the short and fat Shen and made a gesture of invitation: "Brother Shen, eat quickly. This chicken must be eaten while it is hot to retain its original flavor. Thank you for your treat today. I am so lucky to have such a good meal."
Short and Fat Shen saw the chicken in the bowl.
Ouch, I’m so excited, what should I do?
This is the dish that Lord Sun added for him.
He was so excited that a high-ranking official was picking food for him. What should he do?
Short and Fat Shen really wanted to take this piece of chicken home and let his parents eat it.
Try the Three Cup Chicken prepared by Daguanren and see what’s different.
Oh, I really want to put the chicken nuggets in my pocket, is it possible?
In the end, reason triumphed over dementia. The short and fat Shen ate the food that Sun Shan picked up, and his heart instantly felt warm.
After eating the dishes picked by Lord Sun, he is now Lord Sun!
The short and fat Shen was very excited, his face flushed as he said, "Lord Sun, I will offer you a cup of tea instead of wine to congratulate you on your success in the imperial examination and the Yanta Pagoda."
Sun Shan picked up the teacup and said in return, "Brother Shen, thank you."
The short and fat Shen thought the tea was extremely fragrant and he would go and ask the shopkeeper what kind of tea it was later.
His voice was still trembling as he said, "Master Sun, are you going back to your hometown to visit your relatives?"
Sun Shan nodded and said, "Yes, I will go back to my hometown. Then I will take up my post."
Shen the short and fat asked with concern: "Sir Sun, where are you going to be appointed?"
It would be great if Lord Sun came to Ganzhou to take up the post, then he would have a friend who is an official in Ganzhou.
Oh, I never thought that three years ago when I had nothing to do, I went out for a walk and actually met a group of scholars.
Unexpectedly, all the scholars were so talented, especially the plain-looking scholar in front of me, who looked like a peasant, but played the erhu very well, even better than the erhu players who performed on the streets.
Those gentlemen who passed the imperial examinations against thousands of opponents are truly the best among the best.
To this day, the short and fat Shen still remembers the song that the erhu scholar played.
What made Shen the short and fat man's eyes sparkle was that the Erhu scholar did not mind his tip, and finally used the money from the tip to buy a dock for the porters at the dock.
This kind of thought that cares about the lives of all people in the world is enough for a small dentist like him to remember for a lifetime.
Sun Shan smiled and said, "Being a county magistrate in a small place in Huguang is not worth mentioning."
The short and fat Shen said eagerly and seriously: "Sir Sun, you will definitely be a good county magistrate in the future."
Sun Shan was stunned, looking at Shen Jingbing's clear eyes.
He has no confidence in himself, but the short and fat Shen has so much confidence in him.
Sun Shan's heart was moved, and he said solemnly: "Brother Shen, I will do my best to be a good official and seek the welfare of the people."
The short and fat Shen said with conviction: "Lord Sun, you must be a good official. I believe in you."
I secretly felt sorry that Lord Sun went to Guangnan to be an official instead of Yuzhang.
Alas, if it weren't for the difficulty of leaving his hometown, Shen the short and fat man might have gone to the place where Sun Shan was an official to do business.
From just this short meal, Shen the short and fat could still tell that Sun Shan was different from other officials.
At least this moment is pure and kind, with light in the eyes.
Sun Shan and Shen the Short and Fat had a long meal until the sun set.
The short and fat Shen said goodbye reluctantly: "Master Sun, I will see you off tomorrow."
Sun Shan waved his hand and said, "I will leave early tomorrow morning. It's too early. You don't need to come."
The short and fat Shen insisted, "Master Sun, I must see you off. After this farewell, I don't know when we will meet again."
These words are so familiar, so much like what Wan Songjin said.
However, there is always a separation after every gathering, and Sun Shan has become accustomed to separation.
He smiled and said, "Brother Shen, I believe we will meet again in the future. We are so destined to meet."
Hearing the word "fate", the short and fat Shen said with stars in his eyes: "Lord Sun, you are right, we will definitely meet."
After a pause, he insisted, "Master Sun, I will come to see you off early tomorrow morning. Remember, wait for me tomorrow."
Sun Shan felt that he couldn't get rid of this fat man, so he nodded and said, "Okay~"
The next morning, at daybreak, Sun Shan finished washing up, had breakfast, and walked out of the room, and saw the short and fat Shen.
This fat guy arrived really early. I don’t know how long he has been sitting in the inn.
When Shen the short and fat saw Sun Shan, he immediately smiled, and there were an old man and a young boy beside him.
Sun Shan knew who they were without asking.
He looks exactly like the short and fat Shen. Fortunately, the boy is a head taller than his grandfather and father, and not as short and fat as the short and fat Shen.
The short and fat Shen introduced: "Sir Sun, this is my father, and this is my son."
Sun Shan nodded: "Morning, Master Shen!"
He looked at the boy again, nodded and smiled: "Brother Shen, your boy is really handsome and has a good appearance."
Over the years, Sun Shan has figured out a trick: if he wants to make people happy, he will catch his son and grandson and straddle them hard. Even if they are difficult to get along with, they will secretly smile at such praise.
So when he saw Young Master Shen, Sun Shan praised him generously.
