Chapter 861: The Two Brothers of the Hong Family
After a while, Gui Ge'er came running hurriedly with Hong Chengcai and Hong Erdi.
Sun Shan took a closer look and saw that the two brothers were getting together and it seemed that they were living a good life.
His mouth was full of oil and his face was rosy with food.
Hong Chengcai got off the carriage from a distance, ran over at full speed, and pounced on Sun Shan.
Fortunately, Sun Dingnan was quick-witted and ran to Sun Shan at high speed, allowing Hong Chengcai to jump into his arms.
Sun Shan took several steps back and covered his chest in fear.
Ouch, if Hong Chengcai had pounced on Sun Shan like this, he would have fallen down at least. It was a close call.
Hong Chengcai glanced at Sun Dingnan angrily, quickly pushed him away, and hurriedly held Sun Shan's hands.
He shouted excitedly: "Ashan, Ashan, I am finally back. I have been waiting and waiting, but you just can't come back. I am so anxious waiting."
At this time, Hong Erdi also caught up, and his chubby body pressed tightly against Sun Shan.
He shouted excitedly: "Ashan, Ashan, I have been waiting for you for so long. I have lost my appetite these days and have lost more than ten pounds. Thank God, you are finally back. It's great."
Hong Chengcai and Hong Erdi pressed tightly against Sun Shan, one on each side, making him spin around in circles.
He shouted excitedly, startling many passers-by.
Sun Shan desperately stretched out his hand and shouted to Gui Ge'er: "Help! Help me!"
The two brothers squeezed Sun Shan tightly like two balls.
I really can't stand it. I really can't breathe.
Seeing this, Gui Ge'er anxiously tried to pull Hong Chengcai and Hong Erdi apart, but the two brothers were fat and heavy, and stuck to Sun Shan like taffy, and could not be separated no matter what he did.
Gui Ge'er shouted anxiously: "Brother Chengcai, let go, don't hug Brother Shan like this. If you continue hugging him, he will hurt him."
It's just that the two brothers Hong Chengcai were immersed in the reunion with Sun Shan. They talked to themselves and didn't care about Sun Shan's life or death, nor did they hear Gui Ge'er's calls.
In the end, it was Sun Dali, Sun Dingnan, Gui Ge'er and two servants of the Hong family who separated the two brothers.
As soon as they separated, Sun Shan breathed a breath of fresh air into his nose and instantly came back to life.
Ouch, it’s really uncomfortable to be hugged by two fat guys. I almost can’t breathe.
Sun Shan coughed violently several times.
Hong Chengcai asked innocently, "Ashan, what's wrong with you? Why are you coughing? Are you sick? Oh, the journey must be too long. Even a strong body can't stand it."
Hong's second brother also asked with concern: "Ashan, hurry up, let's go find a doctor. The illness can be serious or minor. Today is different from the past. You are precious now."
Sun Shan looked at the two brothers of the Hong family in silence, especially the second brother. What does this mean?
What is precious now?
Come on, he's always been precious.
Sun Shan waved his hands and finally recovered his breath. He said unhappily, "Brother Chengcai, you guys just hugged me so hard that I couldn't breathe."
Hong Chengcai scratched his head awkwardly and said, "Ashan, I was too excited. Hehe, I forgot the strength for a moment."
Brother Hong also said with a smile: "Yes, I was so excited to hear that you were back. I even stopped doing business and rushed over to see you. When I first saw Gui Ge'er, I thought I had seen the wrong person."
Hong Chengcai said proudly, "When I got up this morning, my mother said that a magpie came to our house and chirped all morning. My mother said that there must be a happy event at home. Hehe, at that time my father scolded my mother and said that she was suspicious. I didn't expect that there would be a big happy event today. Ah Shan, you are back."
Speaking of Madam Hong, Sun Shan was very concerned: "How is Auntie? I haven't seen her for a long time. I don't know how she is doing."
The second brother Hong said happily, "Good, good, good. My mother is good every day. She is the queen of the house all day long. How can she be bad?"
Sun Shan was embarrassed. Brother Hong was too impatient and spoke too quickly.
If Mrs. Hong knew this, Second Brother Hong would definitely have no food to eat tonight.
But what Second Brother Hong said was right. Madam Hong was a notoriously resentful woman who always blamed everyone but Hong Dalang.
Apart from being afraid of Hong Xiucai, she has never been seen afraid of anyone else.
I'm not even afraid of my mother-in-law, I'm only afraid of my father-in-law.
Sun Shan shook his head, smiled and said, "You, don't talk nonsense. If your aunt hears you, be careful of your skin."
Brother Hong was startled and said hastily, "Ashan, you can't tell my mother about this. She'll beat me to death."
Hong Chengcai laughed and said, "Second brother, you know you said the wrong thing. Ashan doesn't even know what kind of person A Niang is. Who asked you to say it out loud?"
Sun Shan and Hong Chengcai looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.
Sun Shan asked again, "How is my uncle?"
Brother Hong said again, "Good, good, good. Everything is fine at home. My father and uncle went to the countryside to harvest rice today and will be back in the evening."
The Hong family opened a grocery store that was as big as a "supermarket", selling everything from firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea.
An inn was also opened to provide accommodation for guests from all over the world.
Because he made money from these two businesses, he bought land and built houses to rent out.
He has a small fortune and lives a pretty good life.
Hong Chengcai and Hong Erdi quickly asked Sun Shan to get on the carriage and go home.
Upon learning that Sun Dali and Sun Dingnan were going to guard the goods at the dock, Hong Chengcai agreed and said, "Uncle Dali is very thoughtful. There are so many people at the dock, and if we don't keep an eye on them, someone might steal the goods."
After a pause, he said, "I have to send two more servants over to watch over you tonight."
He leaned close to Sun Shan's ear and said, "Ashan, this batch of goods you have is very expensive. You have to look at it carefully."
When Chengcai learned that Sun Shan's goods were silks purchased wholesale from Jinling, he immediately felt that security measures needed to be strengthened.
They have to be careful and cautious when doing business.
Sun Shan smiled and said, "Brother Chengcai, I'll do as you say. You know more about business than I do."
Hong Chengcai looked at Sun Shan proudly, patted his chest, and looked like "You'll be right if you listen to me."
Sun Shan sat in the carriage. Second Brother Hong looked at Sun Shan carefully and said, "Ashan, you can't wear casual clothes. You have to wear the clothes of a newly-appointed Jinshi. You should wear clothes that suit your status."
Hong Chengcai nodded repeatedly, gave a thumbs up and said, "Second brother is right. Ah Shan, you are already a Jinshi, you have to wear Jinshi clothing. If you wear casual clothes, no one will know you are a Jinshi."
Gui Geer added, "Brother Chengcai, our Brother Shan is now the county magistrate and should wear official uniform."
As soon as these words were spoken, the two brothers' eyes lit up and they couldn't wait to let Sun Shan wear the official uniform.
Oh, a high-ranking official is coming to their Hong family, so let the neighbors come and have a look. Their Hong family is different today than before, as they have official relatives now.
When Sun Shan saw the two brothers of the Hong family sticking their tails up, he knew what they were thinking.
When we get to the Hong family later, he might show off to his heart’s content.
Like a scholar, Hong Chengcai was so arrogant that he set off a lot of firecrackers so that all the neighbors knew that their Hong family had a scholar.
When they return home in glory this time, the two brothers of the Hong family will definitely boast that the whole world knows that their Hong family has a master who has passed the imperial examination.
