Chapter 893 On the way back to Huangyang County

Gui Ge'er sat there restlessly wondering whether his baby would be a boy or a girl, and he couldn't sleep.

Sun Shan looked at Guiger speechlessly. Whether it was a boy or a girl, they were still his good children. Was there any need to favor girls over boys?

If you can't be a book boy, then study hard and strive to become a scholar, juren or jinshi.

Sun Shan said whatever he thought: "Gui'er, you are a good boy. You can study hard and take the imperial examination in the future."

After a pause, he added: "As for Shu Xiu, you don't have to worry. As long as I am still alive, your boy will be able to study. Of course, he must have talent. If he can't study, he can't keep studying for the sake of passing the imperial examination."

Gui Ge'er had never thought that his son would one day pass the imperial examination and gain fame like Sun Shan. Now that Sun Shan had brought it up, Gui Ge'er still hadn't thought about it.

He retorted, "Brother Shan, my son's brain is not like mine but like Jinhua's. We are both not smart, so how could we have a boy who can read? Brother Shan, don't waste your money. You should just study hard for a few years and be a book boy."

Gui Ge'er thinks he is very self-aware and knows his own worth.

How could an unintelligent couple give birth to a smart and well-educated son? This is simply a fantasy.

It would be better to find a way out early and become a book boy in Xiaoxiaoshan.

As soon as he hesitated, Xiao Xiaoshan's position as a book boy was immediately taken over by the villagers.

Especially Sun Dali and Sun Dingnan, who followed Shan Ge out and saw the prosperity, had already planned on the position of the little mountain book boy.

As long as they take one step back, they will take ten thousand steps back. They will definitely squeeze their own kid in.

Even though the boy in their family is bigger than Xiao Xiaoshan now, there is no guarantee that they will have another child in the future.

No, we must not let this happen.

Gui Ge'er encouraged himself and said, "Brother Shan, Jin Hua will definitely give birth to a girl this time. When you give birth to a boy, Jin Hua will give birth to a boy too."

Sun Shan: ...

Sun Dali and Sun Dingnan, who are ready to take action and have foresight: ...

Okay, if Gui Ge'er wants to think so, then let him think so. It's his freedom.

The escort team walked from dawn to dusk, and the scenery along the way did not change much. It seemed that County Magistrate Tang did nothing.

This official road still looks the same as it did when Lord Wei was here.

After Sun Shan had eaten and drunk his fill, he took a stroll, stopping from time to time.

Farmhouse dishes are delicious, especially the chicken stewed with mushrooms, which is a must-try.

Sun Shan hadn't eaten such fragrant mushrooms for a long time.

So I went to the "farm" owner and asked if he had any for sale.

When the owner of the "farm" heard that Mr. Sun liked to eat it, it didn't matter whether he sold it or not. What mattered most was his love for Mr. Sun.

He hurriedly took out the stock at home and asked Sun Jinshi to choose: "Sun Jinshi, there are many kinds of wild mushrooms here. Which one do you like? This is the kind we just ate. I'll pack it for you."

Sun Shan didn't know which one tasted good or not, but he liked what he had just eaten. He nodded and said, "Okay, pack it up for me. How much is one pound? I'll pay."

The farm owner shook his head and said, "As long as Mr. Sun likes to eat them, you don't have to pay. These are not valuable. They are all picked up by my old man in the mountains."

Sun Shan would never do such a thing as "eating and freeloading", so he insisted on paying, but the boss refused to take any money.

Sun Shan insisted on paying, but the boss's voice was louder than Sun Shan's and he insisted on not taking any money.

Sun Shan wanted to maintain the image of a refined and elegant scholar and was not good at quarreling.

So he accepted it first, planning to ask Gui Ge'er to give him more money before leaving.

At this time, the boss's son ran out and said with a flattering smile: "Mr. Sun, mushrooms are not worth much. Haha, Mr. Sun, I have admired you for a long time. I wonder if you can give us a piece of calligraphy?"

Sun Shan looked at the boss's son meaningfully. He was a cunning man who wanted to exchange some mushrooms for calligraphy.

This deal is quite a bargain.

When Sun Shan saw this, the boss's son was sweating profusely. How could this Jinshi Sun be so gentle one second and so stressed the next? Could this be the feeling of oppression of Jinshi?

The boss also knew that his son was reckless. Who gave a commoner the courage to ask for the calligraphy of the Jinshi master?

The boss said timidly: "Mr. Sun, my son is from the mountains and doesn't know the rules. Please don't blame him."

Then he kicked his son down, bowed to Sun Shan and said, "Mr. Sun, I apologize for your crime."

He also asked his son to apologize to Sun Shan and forgive them for their rudeness.

Sun Shan waved his hand and asked them to stand up. He still kept smiling and said, "Boss, please don't be like this. I don't have a pen with me. I can't help it. Please forgive me."

This was a polite refusal. The boss and his son understood immediately.

He bowed and apologized, saying, "Thank you, Mr. Sun."

After saying this, he hurriedly pulled his son to the back of the yard. As for what he was doing, Sun Shan had no idea.

It’s not that Sun Shan didn’t want to leave his calligraphy behind, but he couldn’t leave it like this.

The main reason was that the boss's son was very rude to ask this question, and Sun Shan's status did not allow him to ask such a question.

Sun Shan refused without thinking.

If it were in the past, he could still write, but now his identity has changed. Even if Sun Shan doesn't mind, he has to behave properly with so many people watching.

Oh, it ruined the atmosphere, it's really unpleasant.

Sun Shan said to Gui Ge'er, "We will leave early tomorrow morning. You will pay for the mushrooms."

He didn't want the mushrooms originally, but if he left them, the boss might have some concerns and become anxious.

So I just took the mushrooms away and paid for them.

In this way, the money and goods are exchanged, and neither party owes the other anything. It is just a normal transaction and the farm owner will not think too much about it.

At dawn the next day, Sun Shan left the inn early with the Zeng family escort team. Before leaving, the boss and his son still nodded and bowed, and saw him off in an extremely flattering manner.

Gui Ge'er paid the money, and the boss breathed a sigh of relief after receiving it.

After sending Sun Shan and his group away, he immediately closed the door and beat his son.

Who is his own son? Who is Sun Jinshi? Who gave him the courage to ask about calligraphy?

If you don't beat your child today, he will cause trouble to you tomorrow. Beat him now while you can, so that you won't have the chance in the future.

Sun Shan had no idea of ​​the farm owner's activities. At this moment, he was walking on the official road in the mountains. As he was walking on a steep slope, he had to get off the carriage and walk.

Xiao Zhu, the escort leader, came over in a hurry and apologized, "Mr. Sun, the mountain road is steep and it is not easy to take a carriage. Please understand."

Sun Shan had walked this road many times and was used to getting off the car to walk. He waved his hand and said, "It's okay. I'm used to it."

While enjoying the scenery, he chatted with Xiao Zhubiaotou.

Of course, it was Sun Shan who spoke first. No one liked to talk to him now.

Sun Shan wiped the sweat off his forehead and asked, "Little Zhu Biaotou, Zhu Biaotou, are you all right?"

When I see the young escort leader Zhu, I think of the old escort leader Zhu. It was the old escort leader Zhu who led the way when we first arrived in the city.

Xiao Zhu Biaotou smiled and said, "Okay, my father is very good and will help take care of his grandson at home."

Sun Shan pointed to the road ahead and said, "Time waits for no one. The first time I went to Guangzhou with Zhu Biaotou, I was only five or six years old. Now Zhu Biaotou has retired and returned home."
