Chapter 858 Is Sun Shan a liar?

Chapter 858 Is Sun Shan a liar?

Mr. Shen looked at Sun Shan carefully. He was short, thin and quite dark.

If his son hadn't said it was the magistrate, Mr. Shen would never have believed it.

When he came home last night, his son excitedly pulled him into the room and said he had something happy to tell him.

Old Master Shen glared at his son, asking why he came home so late and didn't know where he had been to play.

He is not home all day long. If he were not his biological son, he would have been kicked out of "Shen's Business" long ago.

Mr. Shen asked unhappily, "Son, what's the matter? Do we need to talk behind closed doors?"

What are you talking about if you don’t take a shower or go to bed so late at night?

There’s so much time in the day, isn’t that enough to chat?

The short and fat Shen shouted excitedly: "Dad, I met an old friend today."

Mr. Shen was old and sleepy. He yawned and asked casually, "What old friend? Is it a business friend?"

What's so strange about meeting old friends? As dentists, they travel all over the country and know many people. Is it worth making such a fuss?

Short and Fat Shen was so immersed in the scene of having dinner with Sun Shan today that he couldn't help himself and didn't notice Mr. Shen's displeasure at all.

He said excitedly: "Grandpa, remember three or four years ago, I told you that I met a group of scholars from Guangnan at Bajingtai, and one of them played the erhu very well. Dad, do you remember?"

Noble people are busy with their work. Although Mr. Shen has children and grandchildren, he still takes care of the family business himself.

I have experienced so many things, how could I remember anything about Erhu Juren?

There are so many things to remember every day, but since they are not personal experiences, how can I have any impression of them?

Besides, as I get older, I tend to forget things easily, so I shook my head very bluntly and said, “I don’t remember.”

After a pause, he continued, "If you have anything to say, just tell me. It's late at night and I need to go to bed."

Mr. Shen and short and fat Shen have completely different personalities.

Mr. Shen had only one wife from beginning to end. After his old wife passed away, he had no plans to remarry and devoted himself to his business.

He is nothing like the short and fat Shen who married one and took two as concubines.

The short and fat Shen was still immersed in excitement and said excitedly: "Dad, today I went to the dock and met that scholar who is good at playing the erhu again."

Mr. Shen frowned and asked, "Why did you go to the dock for no reason? Are you going to those dirty places again?"

Speaking of this lustful son, Mr. Shen gets angry.

Why do you need so many women? Don’t they cost money?

Every penny you spend on a woman means every penny you have left in the family.

When Mr. Shen thought about how the family fortune he and his wife had worked so hard to build was given away to such questionable women, he had a heart attack.

Especially the two women who were brought back, their only contribution was giving birth to two daughters for their Shen family.

Others? Pah, it doesn't matter whether you lift it or not, it doesn't matter whether you carry it or not, it doesn't do anything, it's just for nothing, how much money does it cost?

Or is it that the daughter-in-law is useless? She controls her husband and cries all day long, without any dignity as the mistress of the house.

If she hadn't given birth to three boys for the Shen family, Mr. Shen would have really regretted choosing such a daughter-in-law.

Mr. Shen has fully learned the lesson of marrying the wrong daughter-in-law, so he personally takes charge of choosing his grandson's daughter-in-law. He is determined to find a grandson's daughter-in-law who is as capable as his wife and can manage the Shen family well.

Shen the short and fat man hurried to explain: "Grandpa, I didn't go to those places. I just wandered around the dock to see if there was anything good."

There are people coming and going on the dock, so naturally there is a lot of business. In addition to restaurants, wine shops, inns and of course Zhangtai.

Shen the short and fat man was a playful and lustful person. When Mr. Shen heard that he was going to the dock, the first thing he thought of was that he was going to spend money again.

Old Master Shen glared at him and said unhappily, "Huh, who are you? Don't you know who you are? I warn you, even though there is a few cents in the family, it will all be left to my grandson. Don't even think about spending my money."

Short and Fat Shen was just about to explain that he had not spent money recklessly, and that he only spent money on places where it was necessary.

It's not that he likes to spend money, but that his father is too stingy.

Compared with other people's fathers, the short and fat Shen wished he could be reborn and not be Mr. Shen's son.

It’s a pity that they look exactly like father and son, it’s hard for them not to be father and son.

Suddenly I realized that the topic had gone too far and immediately turned back.

Still very excited, he said: "Dad, didn't I just say that I met that scholar who is good at playing the erhu again? Hehe, I will have dinner with him this afternoon."

Mr. Shen asked again, "Is it you who is treating us, or is it that Erhu scholar who is treating us?"

The short and fat Shen rolled his eyes at Old Man Shen and said rudely, "Father, are you getting old and confused? Others are scholars, and I am just a small dental dealer.

If I don’t treat him, should I let the Juren Master treat him? No, if I hadn’t met the Juren Master once, he might not come to eat even if I treated him.”

Mr. Shen thought about it and realized that this was indeed the truth.

If he wanted to invite the scholar from Ganzhou City to dinner, no one would come to his aid.

Then his face changed and he said, "You said that the scholar might not come out to eat, so why did he eat with you? Did he meet a liar?"

Mr. Shen couldn’t even invite the scholar to dinner, so how could his son do so?

In this case, the son was sure that he had encountered a scammer, and he asked anxiously: "Besides that meal, what else did you spend the money on?"

When Shen the short and fat heard his father say that Sun Shan was a liar, he became extremely excited.

He immediately retorted: "Father, how can Lord Sun be a liar? I met him three or four years ago, how could he be a liar. Father, don't talk nonsense, if Lord Sun hears you, he might punish you!"

The more Mr. Shen listened, the more confused he became. Sometimes he was talking about Erhu Juren, sometimes about Lord Sun. What on earth did his son say?

He became even more certain that Shen the short and fat man had met a scammer, and his alarm bells rang. He forced Shen the short and fat man to tell him whether he had lost money.

The short and fat Shen kept shouting his innocence, insisting that he had not met a liar and that he had made friends with a seventh-rank county magistrate.

Short and Fat Shen told the whole story of how he met Sun Shan.

He also firmly believed that he and Sun Shan had a deep connection and that they might be able to continue their relationship in the future.

After hearing the whole story, Mr. Shen was shocked and became more convinced that his son had met a scammer.

So the father and son came to the inn early in the morning and brought their eldest grandson, the smartest person in the family, to carefully determine whether Sun Shan was a liar or not.

When they arrived at the post station, Mr. Shen and Mr. Shen looked at each other.

Both grandfather and grandson saw each other's shock: Could it be that what their son/father said yesterday was true? Did he really make friends with an official?

This is an inn. People without a certain status cannot stay here.

As the county magistrate, Sun Shan was indeed qualified to stay in the post station.

When they saw Sun Shan wearing the clothes of a Jinshi official, the grandfather and grandson had to admit that this ordinary-looking and slightly ugly man in front of them was indeed an official.

This outfit can't deceive anyone.

You would only wear this if you don't want to live and want to go to jail.

What's more, this is a post station, which further proves that Sun Shan is indeed a newly-minted Jinshi who has returned home in glory.
