Chapter 889 He, He Shuqiang, believes in light
Sun Shan had a meal with Mr. and Mrs. Qian and received a bunch of gifts.
Sun Shan originally wanted to invite Qian's father and mother to the banquet, but the two of them had to return to Duanzhou, so Sun Shan had to express his regret.
He wrote another letter and asked them to take it to Qian Yingyang, telling him that he would be in his hometown before the New Year and to write to him if they had anything to say.
Sun Shan returned two rolls of silk to Qian's father and mother.
He smiled and said, "I brought this back from Jinling specially. One for you and one for Yingyang."
Mother Qian touched the fabric and found it silky and smooth. She knew the quality was good and she happily accepted it.
He said happily: "Yingyang is lucky to have you as a friend."
Fortunately, he spent a huge amount of money to send Qian Yingyang to study at Yuelu Academy, otherwise he would not have been able to meet friends who are officials.
It is difficult for someone who does not have a friend who is an official to become one.
Sun Shan smiled and said, "Aunt, I am also very happy to have Ying Yang as my friend. I am studying in Yuelu Academy, thanks to Ying Yang's care."
After seeing off Mr. and Mrs. Qian, Gui Ge'er and Sun Dingnan were sorting out the gifts sent by the Qian family.
I saw a gift box from afar, and when I opened it, it turned out to be a Duan inkstone.
It is said that Sun Shan already has several Duan inkstones.
When he passed the imperial examination, Qian Yingyang gave him one piece as a gift.
When doing business in the capital, Qian's father gave him two pieces of silver. He gave one to Old Master He and took the remaining one back.
He gave him another one this time, maybe the Qian family will give him another Duan inkstone in the future.
Sun Shan found this very funny and decided to take the Duan inkstone home and give one to Zheng Tongsheng and one to Hong Xiucai respectively.
I don’t know how much it’s worth, but the packaging looks high-end, so it must be expensive.
Gui Ge'er sorted and searched while taking out the food and putting the things to use aside.
Then he saw an exquisite box and asked in confusion: "Brother Shan, this box is beautiful. Could it be that Master Qian gave you another Duan inkstone?"
As he said this, Gui Ge'er opened the box. In an instant, two bright golden lights burst out from it, almost blinding Gui Ge'er's eyes.
Gui Ge'er opened his mouth in the shape of a "0" and stuttered, "Shan~~Brother~this~this is a gold ingot."
Sun Shan looked carefully and saw two big gold ingots appear before his eyes.
Take them out of the box, 10 taels each.
In other words, 200 taels of silver were given to Sun Shan.
This gift is too expensive. I shouldn't have accepted it. Sun Dingnan didn't expect the Qian family to be so generous as to give real gold and silver. He asked in surprise, "Ashan, do you want to send it back?"
The Qian family gave gold, a Duan inkstone, and a lot of food and daily necessities. This gift was really generous.
I heard from Gui Ge'er that Qian Yingyang had to pay 500 taels of silver per year for tuition and 1000 taels of silver as a sponsorship fee to have the opportunity to study at Yuelu Academy. Giving money away at once is indeed in line with the Qian family's practice.
Sun Shan thought about it and decided to accept the gifts: "No, this is a gift from Uncle Qian. You can accept it."
The reason why he sent the gold was, firstly, as a reward for helping Qian Yingyang get an official position, and secondly, perhaps he wanted to use his connections to invest in himself.
Sun Shan smiled and accepted the gold and the gift. It would be hard for him to get rid of Qian Yingyang anyway, so he might as well accept it and let Qian's father feel at ease.
After sorting out the gifts, Sun Shan picked up some and took them home. He brought the rest to the He family's old house in the evening. Old Mrs. He asked Sun Shan to have dinner with her.
The place that has done the most good to Sun Shan or the Sun family must be the He family’s old house.
The He family is kind-hearted and have become accustomed to the Sun family's practice of extortion over the past ten or twenty years.
I don’t know if he dislikes it or not, but at least he doesn’t look disgusted.
Aunt Sun’s occasional subsidies to the Sun family were inseparable from the tacit approval of the He family.
Because of the "blood tank" of the He family's old house, Sun Shan had money to see a doctor when he was sick, could live well and eat well in Sunjia Village, and had the opportunity to study as he wished.
The He family’s old house can be said to be a “blessing of rebirth” for the Sun family.
This kindness was not something that should be taken for granted. Now that he had the opportunity to repay it, Sun Shan naturally wanted to do so.
Moreover, Sun Shan's actions also made the He family feel deeply gratified, and also made Aunt Sun more important in the He family.
Of course, Aunt Sun no longer needs the Sun family to add weight and support to her.
It's just that whether to do it or not is one thing, and whether to do it or not is another. Sun Shan naturally chose to do it and be a member of the Sun family who knows how to repay his gratitude.
Seeing that there was still time, Sun Shan went to the teahouse to pack some snacks and found Gong Xue.
It's a rare opportunity to come back to Hejia Village, so I must see Da Pangpang.
In the past, it was Big Fatty who came to see him, but now that Big Fatty is in jail, he has to go see him himself.
By the way, bring some snacks that Da Pangpang likes.
Sun Shan felt that he was really kind and couldn't bear to see the misery in the world.
Gongxue was not far from Hejiacun, so Sun Shan took a taxi there.
Stand at the gate of the palace school and explain your purpose.
Perhaps the guard saw that Sun Shan was wearing the clothes of a Jinshi, or perhaps he accepted a tip.
In short, the guard enthusiastically invited Sun Shan to sit in the pavilion, and soon called He Shuqiang over.
Sun Shan saw He Shuqiang from afar. Oh, it seems that being a boarding student is really hard.
Big Fatty actually lost weight, at least 20 pounds. This is the first time I have seen Big Fatty so thin.
But to be honest, Da Pangpang is still very fat, just that he has lost a lot of weight compared to before.
When He Shuqiang heard that a Jinshi master was coming to see him, he ran out at full speed, looked left and right, but couldn't see the Jinshi master anywhere.
Gui Ge'er shouted, "Brother-in-law, we are here?"
What a familiar voice! Fatty looked in the direction of the voice.
Oh~ It was Brother Shan whom he missed day and night.
Big Fatty ran at a very fast speed, and the ground shook wherever he ran past.
In less than a few seconds, He Shuqiang appeared in front of Sun Shan.
Sun Shan was just about to say hello.
Big Fatty suddenly pounced, hugged Sun Shan tightly, and cried loudly: "Brother Shan, you are finally back. I am so miserable, I really want to leave the palace school, I can't stand it anymore."
Sun Shan was almost suffocated by Da Pangpang's hug.
He Shuqiang is still as fat as ever. I thought he was thin just now, but it was a complete illusion.
Sun Shan stretched out his hand in pain and shouted to Gui Ge'er: "Help me, help me!"
Gui Ge'er was also anxious. Why did his elder brother-in-law hold Shan Ge so tightly?
It almost enveloped Shan Ge.
Gui Ge'er hurriedly shouted: "Brother-in-law, let go, Brother Shan can't take it anymore, hurry, hurry~"
He shouted and pulled He Shuqiang away. Finally, he pulled the fat man away with all his strength.
Sun Shan took the opportunity to breathe in and out desperately.
This fat guy is really annoying.
In just a short while, He Shuqiang's eyes turned red and he looked very pitiful.
Seeing his expression, Sun Shan forgave his recklessness and asked, "What's wrong? I haven't seen you for only a year, and you've changed so much?"
Big Fatty said aggrievedly: "Brother Shan, I don't want to study in the palace anymore, please rescue me. Only you can save me now."
The moment He Shuqiang saw Sun Shan, it was as if he saw the light.
That’s right, he, He Shuqiang, believes in light!
