Chapter 885: Brother, I am henpecked
The next morning, Sun Shan got up early.
Aunt Sun took care of Sun Shan like she was taking care of a three-year-old child, and hurriedly called out, "Shanzi, come over and have breakfast."
Sun Shan saw fried noodles, fried dough sticks, soy milk, and pork liver, rice noodles, intestines and lean meat porridge on the table.
She immediately said happily: "Aunt, is this the fried noodles made by my uncle?"
Aunt Sun laughed and said, "How did you tell? Your uncle has been busy since early morning. He also said that he would make fried noodles for you."
Sun Shan took a closer look and found that it was fried beef noodles.
He asked in surprise: "Aunt, where did the beef come from?"
Although it is forbidden to slaughter cattle, those who like them will always get them through various means.
Aunt Sun smiled and said, "I bought it early in the morning. Your uncle knows that you like to eat fried beef noodles, so he made it especially for you."
Fried beef noodles is a good way to test the standard of a Cantonese restaurant. If the fried beef noodles are good, the restaurant must be delicious. Sun Shan was very moved by the Cantonese-style fried beef noodles.
Apart from his eldest cousin and Ke'er, he was the only one who received such treatment.
Aunt Sun told Sun Shan to eat breakfast quickly, then sighed and said, "I don't know if your cousin is doing well in Chongqing. He wrote back saying he is doing well, but who knows how he is doing in reality?"
My eldest cousin arrived in Chongqing after the Chinese New Year and before Sun Shan took the imperial examination.
After Sun Shan finished the joint examination, palace examination and imperial examination, and was waiting for the official position, he wrote a letter to Sun Shan.
Everything was said in the letter, except whether it was just good news or not.
Of course it is.
Later, my cousin's wife, Jiao'er, Douzi and the youngest son took a government ship to Chongqing to accompany my cousin.
My eldest cousin and his wife sent Ke'er to live with Old Master He.
I usually study as a boarder at the Imperial College, and go back to the main branch on holidays.
Poor Ke'er, became a left-behind child.
This was a last resort. The educational resources in Beijing were better than those in Chongqing. After careful consideration, my cousin and his wife decided to let the guest stay in Beijing. In a few years, they would have to return to Hejia Village to prepare for the boy's examination.
Aunt Sun asked worriedly, "Shanzi, did you go to see the guest when you left the capital? He is alone in the academy, is that okay?"
Sun Shan spoke the truth: "Aunt, Ke'er is very nice. He said he has gotten used to studying in the Imperial College and there is no problem."
Then he said, "Don't worry, aunt. Grandfather is watching over Ke'er in the capital, so he won't learn bad things."
The most worrying thing about a kid around twelve years old is that he hangs out with bad friends. However, the He family has a good family tradition and attaches great importance to the education of children. Mrs. He is also a particularly gentle and loving mistress.
Since I have promised my cousin and his wife, I believe they will take good care of the guest.
After annoying Ke'er, the eldest aunt also annoyed Jiao'er and asked with concern: "Shanzi, did your eldest cousin and his wife tell you about Jiao'er's marriage? Hey, now Jiao'er is going to Chongqing with him, and I don't want Jiao'er to marry in Chongqing."
Jiao'er has been raised by her aunt and uncle since she was a child. Although the old couple favors boys over girls, they love their own granddaughter and are naturally concerned about Jiao'er's marriage.
Aunt Sun added, "It would be best if Jiao'er could marry back to us, or even marry in the capital. I don't want to marry anywhere else."
If you marry back to your hometown, you will feel at ease because your parents are watching you. If you marry to the capital, you will have family members around and you can find someone to help you if you encounter problems.
If she married somewhere else, Aunt Sun would be worried sick.
Sun Shan was helpless with this question and could only say helplessly: "My eldest cousin and his wife think the same way."
After a pause, she said comfortingly, "Aunt, my eldest cousin is always smart and loves Jiao'er. He will definitely find a good husband for Jiao'er."
Aunt Sun shook her head and said, "Your eldest cousin and his wife have never married off their daughters, so how can they understand these things? No, I have to stay nearby and help my daughter keep an eye on her."
Then he said to Sun Shan, "Shanzi, if you have any good boys to recommend, please tell my aunt about them."
Sun Shan was embarrassed. He didn't expect that he would have to cast a wide net to find a partner for Jiao'er.
Sun Shan had no choice but to agree: "Aunt, I understand. I will help Jiao'er keep an eye out."
Aunt Sun left with satisfaction. After breakfast, Sun Shan took Gui Ge'er and some gifts to visit Chen Dongling.
When someone delivered a visiting card yesterday, Chen Dongling said that he was free today and welcomed Sun Shan to come at any time.
When they saw Chen Dongling again, everyone greeted him with a smile.
Chen Dongling said jokingly, "Lord Sun, how are you? Judging from your complexion, you should be doing well recently."
Sun Shan waved his hands and said, "Brother Ling, you are the only one who said that I look good. They all said that I am dark and thin. I have just been back for two days and I have already drunk a lot of soup. Could it be that the soup is effective?"
Chen Dongling opened his folding fan, shook his head and said, "Actually, what others said is right. This time I saw you, you are indeed dark and thin. Hahaha, what I said just now was flattering you."
Sun Shan rolled his eyes at Chen Dongling and asked, "Brother Ling, why are you in Guangzhou and not going out?"
Chen Dongling rolled his eyes at Sun Shan and said with a smile, "I'm the boss, not a waiter. Why do I need to run around every day? Well, you can't make enough money if you work hard. I need to have a good rest and have some fun."
This makes sense. Sun Shan agreed and said, "Brother Ling is the one who knows how to enjoy life and enjoy life while he can."
So Chen Dongling, who loved to enjoy life while he could, took Sun Shan to watch the beauty dance and listen to her sing.
He also commented to Sun Shan which one was the prettiest and who sang the best.
Sun Shan liked to watch beauties dancing, but he was not really interested in watching them sing.
He shook his head and said, "Brother Ling, the beauties are pretty, but their singing is just average. I think my Erhu playing is better than their singing."
Chen Dongling looked at Sun Shan speechlessly and said disapprovingly: "What's so good about your erhu playing? You're not pretty. Haha, I don't have to listen to the beauty I see singing."
Sun Shan understood immediately that the real purpose of the love affair was not to sing. Even if the beauty sang rubbish, Chen Dongling would still go to support her.
Chen Dongling also said that he wanted to give a beautiful woman to Sun Shan.
Sun Shan's scalp went numb when he heard this. He was so angry that he shook his head and said, "Brother Ling, I'm telling you the truth. I'm only telling you this. Don't tell anyone."
Chen Dongling was curious, his eyes widened, and he asked anxiously: "What did you say? Say it quickly."
Sun Shan said embarrassedly: "Brother Ling, you and I get along best, and I can only tell you this."
Chen Dongling rolled his eyes. He tried to think about what he was talking about but couldn't come up with an answer. He asked anxiously, "What did you say? Say it!"
Sun Shan said in a distressed tone, "Brother Ling, I am henpecked. I will only tell you this, and you cannot tell anyone else."
Chen Dongling: .....
Looking at Sun Shan carefully, his triangular eyes were tilted high and filled with turbidity, and it was hard to tell whether he was telling the truth or not.
However, it was the first time that Chen Dongling encountered a grown man saying that he was henpecked and dominated by his wife.
No matter how henpecked a man is, he would never admit it when the topic of "henpecked" comes up, right?
How could Sun Shan say it so openly?
When Chen Dongling thought about the days he spent with Sun Shan, he realized that he was really a very self-disciplined person who had never been involved in any harassment.
Apart from eating, I just read, and if that doesn't work, I just chat with them. I have never really been to that place.
Moreover, there were burly men around him, so Chen Dongling suspected that the mosquito that bit Sun Shan might also be a male.
Could it be that what Sun Shan said was true? Was he really henpecked?
