Chapter 863 The Magistrate Praises My Soup

Mrs. Hong led Sun Shan into the house like a proud hen.

Hong Chengcai and Hong Erdi still stayed at the door, chatting with their neighbors.

As soon as Sun Shan entered the house, he found that the Hong family was still the same, with no changes.

Mrs. Hong Er, who stayed in the house, led the Hong family members to meet them one by one.

Mrs. Hong always speaks loudly, the kind that people would listen to her voice before hearing her.

He asked with a smile: "Ashan, how long will you stay in Zhangzhou this time? Why don't we choose a date to hold a banquet?"

Mrs. Hong planned to publicize the fact that the "first Jinshi" of Zhangzhou Prefecture came from her Hong family, so that all relatives and friends would know that their family had a backer.

The identity of "Jinshi" is very useful in Zhangzhou Prefecture. No matter how powerful other families are, they do not have Jinshi.

Sun Shan said helplessly, "We will go to Guangzhou the day after tomorrow. This time we will take the Li family's merchant ship. They will only stay in Zhangzhou for two days."

Mrs. Hong didn't expect Sun Shan to leave so soon.

He asked anxiously, "Why are you in such a hurry? Why don't you get off the ship first and leave a few days later. There are also many escort teams from Zhangzhou Prefecture going to Guangzhou, and you can leave with the escort agency when the time comes."

Sun Shan said regretfully: "There are still many things to do in Guangzhou this time. There is no way to stay in Zhangzhou Prefecture."

So Sun Shan patiently explained to Mrs. Hong Da and Mrs. Hong Er that this time when he returned home in glory, in addition to building the Jinshi monument, he also had to prepare to serve as an official in another place.

We have to go to Guangzhou to recruit talents to accompany me to take up the office.

Mrs. Hong only knew that Sun Shan had passed the imperial examination and returned home, but she didn't know that Sun Shan was already the magistrate of Yuanlu County. When she learned that Sun Shan was the magistrate, her mouth opened wide.

He said excitedly: "Shanzi, what did you say? You are the county magistrate now? Oh my God, the county magistrate just poured me tea and water. Oh my God, the county magistrate actually praised the soup I made as the best in Zhangzhou Prefecture."

Mrs. Hong Da seemed extremely excited, and Mrs. Hong Er was no less excited.

I really couldn't believe that the Sun Shan in front of me was the official, and I couldn't believe that her family actually knew the county magistrate.

He said tremblingly: "Shanzi, you are actually the county magistrate? Oh, I actually know the county magistrate. Oh my God, I must be dreaming."

Sun Shan looked at the two ladies of the Hong family with amusement, smiled and said, "Aunt, even if I am the county magistrate, am I still your son? Do I still like to drink the soup you cook the most? Actually, there is no change, don't get excited."

It would be a lie for Mrs. Hong to say she wasn't excited; she looked at Sun Shan with shining eyes.

She shouted happily, "Shanzi, what kind of soup do you want? I'll make it for you right now. Oh, I have to make soup for the magistrate."

After saying that, he ran out to make soup.

Sun Shan and Mrs. Hong Er: ...

Mrs. Hong Er didn't dare to sit with the magistrate.

So he said, "Shanzi, I will go cook for you. I will make you my best dish."

After saying that, he ran out in a flash.

Seeing this, the others also made excuses and ran out.

In the end, only the second brother Hong and his cousin's two little kids were left in the Hong family.

Sun Shan and the little boy looked at each other, and finally the little boy started to cry.

Gui Ge'er anxiously picked up the two little kids and coaxed them, "Good children, don't cry, don't cry."

Sun Shan quickly took out two candies from his pocket, stuffed them into the hands of the two little kids, and coaxed them: "Good kids, eat candies, come and eat candies, don't cry."

When the two little kids saw the candy, they immediately put it in their mouths, tears and snot coming out while they were chewing the candy.

Sun Shan's scalp tingled when he saw this.

This, this kid is so dirty.

Because Sun Shan gave them candies, the two little kids rushed to Sun Shan after eating the candies and asked him for candies.

You can give sugar, but you must never pounce on it.

Mainly, his face was covered with a mixture of snot and tears. Sun Shan got goose bumps when he saw it. He ran away as fast as he could, not allowing them to get close.

When the two little kids saw this, they were ready to cry again.

Gui Ge'er quickly picked up the two little kids, took out a handkerchief from his arms, and wiped their tears and snot very roughly.

Sun Shan's scalp tingled even more after seeing this.

The poor kid's face immediately turned red when he was served by Guiger, a rough man.

Gui Geer also said: "Don't cry, if you cry, you won't get any candy. My Shan Ge hates it the most when Xiao Wanzi cries."

The two little kids shouted, "Candy, I want candy."

He looked exactly like Hong Dalang and Hong Erlang.

Sun Shan couldn't help but feel sorry for the two little kids. It was not good to look like the Hong brothers.

If he looked as much like Mr. Hung as Kin-tsai did, he might be able to please Mr. Hung.

People all like children who look like themselves.

Mr. Hong likes Jianzai so much and interprets this "truth".

After Guiger cleaned up the two little kids, Sun Shan was willing to let them get closer.

Someone gave him another piece of candy and said with a smile: "Don't cry, or you won't have any candy."

The three or four-year-old boy was easy to coax and ate candy happily.

He was not shy and sat at Sun Shan's feet, which made Sun Shan very fond of him.

Hong Chengcai and Hong Erdi finally finished chatting with their neighbors and walked in, seeing Sun Shan chatting with the two little kids from the Hong family.

Hong Chengcai scratched his head and asked, "Ashan, where is my mother?"

He just said he missed Ashan very much, but he disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Gui Ge'er laughed and said, "Aunt said she was going to butcher a chicken and make chicken soup for Shan Ge."

Brother Hong picked up his son and said with a laugh, "So that's how it is."

Then he pointed at his eldest son and said, "Ashan, please help me take a look at this kid of mine. See if he has the potential to study."

Sun Shan looked at Hong Erdi and Xiao Douding with amusement; the two looked exactly the same.

It seems like like father, like son. It seems that this little kid is not good at studying.

That’s what I think, but I can’t say it that way.

Still smiling, he said, "I'm telling you the truth. How can I tell? It's better to show it to the teacher. He will definitely see it."

Speaking of Mr. Hong, the second brother Hong shrank his head.

He shook his head and said, "Ashan, how dare I ask my grandfather this question? Now my grandfather doesn't scold Jianzi, but other people are an eyesore to him. I don't even dare to go back to Huangyang County now."

Speaking of Hong Xiucai, Hong Chengcai was also afraid.

He agreed and said, "Second brother is right. If I go back to Huangyang County, I won't dare to go back without Jianzi. Oh, my grandfather is getting more and more arrogant now.

I used to doubt my poor teaching level and reflect on myself.

Since you passed the imperial examination, he actually said that it was not his teaching level that was bad, but that we, the young scholars, were not good enough, and it was all our fault. "

When Sun Shan heard this, he could only look at Hong Chengcai and Hong Erdi with sympathy.

There was no way out. Hong Xiucai himself didn't like them doing business, and there was no scholar in his family, so the identity of "scholar" was not inherited.

Looking at the descendants of the Hong family, their eyes are definitely not eyes, their noses are not noses, and they are dissatisfied with everything they see.
