Chapter 930: Erecting the Jinshi Monument (2)
After Sun Bomin finished speaking, Sun Shan thought it was his turn to speak.
However, the reality is that the person involved does not have to do anything and just stand there quietly.
After the representatives from all parties finished speaking, Yang the Fortune Teller stepped forward and reminded the village chief that the auspicious time had arrived.
The village chief immediately said to everyone: "Everyone, the monument erection ceremony officially begins."
In fact, the inscription had already been there a long time ago, and all that needed to be done was to fill it with soil.
The village chief asked Sun Shan to step forward, take the shovel and make the first dig.
Sun Shan followed the instructions, took a shovel, shoveled a shovel of soil, and threw it into the inscription pit.
Then there was warm applause.
The village chief and a group of elders looked at Sun Shan with satisfaction.
Such a shovel represents the reliance of their Sunjia Village, represents the uniqueness of Sunjia Village in the entire Huangyang County, and represents the hope of Sunjia Village.
After Sun Shan finished shoveling, the men in the village took over the shovel and continued to bury the soil.
After a while, the Jinshi Monument was officially erected.
The village chief said with a big smile: "The Jinshi Monument Erecting Ceremony is over. Everyone line up and come over to receive the No. 1 Scholar Cake and No. 1 Scholar Candy."
The whole ceremony of erecting a monument had a long prelude but a short process, and what everyone looked forward to most was receiving steamed cakes and candies.
Especially those who have young students at home, they can't wait to grab the steamed cakes and candies from the Jinshi master.
I hope my son can get into high school like Sun Jinshi after eating this.
Their requirements were not very high. They didn’t even dare to think about becoming a Jinshi, but they would be satisfied with becoming a Juren.
When the village chief said people should pick up their things, a long line formed over there.
Because of the experience of erecting monuments for successful candidates, the village chief had already arranged for people to come and maintain order.
When Sun Shan saw Second Aunt Sun and Third Aunt Sun standing first and second in the line, the corners of his mouth twitched.
Su said proudly, "Your second aunt and third aunt must have been quarreling secretly, fighting for the first place. I didn't expect your honest second aunt to be the first to receive candy and steamed cakes. Oh, your fierce and arrogant third aunt couldn't get it. It's strange."
When saying this, Sun Su glanced at the smiling girl in Nanny He's arms and curled his lips.
It would be great if it was a fat boy. Su would definitely be the first one to rush up and queue up to get the steamed cakes and candies.
What a pity. Giving birth to a girl is useless. She will belong to someone else sooner or later.
Sun Shan asked in confusion: "Mother, why did Second Aunt and Third Aunt also queue up to receive the No. 1 Prize Cake and No. 1 Prize Candy? They can just get them at home."
Su said with a look of "you don't understand", "How can the ones at home be the same? These are the top scholar cakes and top scholar candies you distributed after you erected the stele. It's a good omen, so you must line up to get them. Your second and third aunts are eager to let their kids eat them, so they can take the imperial examination just like you."
After Su said this, Sun Shan understood.
It's just to get some good luck, so that the kid at home can share in Sun Shan's good fortune.
Sun Shan looked at the team again. Not only Second Aunt and Third Aunt were there, but also the mothers-in-law of his three sisters were carrying their children to take the lead.
Sun Dali and Sun Dingnan's wives were also there.
Gui Ge'er glanced at Sun Dali's wife and the several bone dragons following behind them.
He whispered, "Brother Shan, will it be useful for Uncle Dali's kid to eat your champion cake and champion candy?"
Sun Dali's sons were strong and ate a lot, but they were not smart and could not recognize a few words when they were sent to school.
Not to mention eating the No. 1 Scholar Cake, even if you ate dragon meat, it wouldn't help you pass the imperial examination.
Sun Shan shook his head and said, "Gui'er, those who receive the top scholar cakes and top scholar candies may not necessarily be praying for the sake of studying. Maybe they just think the cakes and candies are delicious."
After Sun Shan said this, Gui Ge was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized and said, "Brother Shan, you are right. Uncle Dali didn't get those bone-melting dragons because he wanted to pass the imperial examination and get cakes and candies. It was just because they were sweet and he wanted to eat them. Haha, Brother Shan, I am really stupid and can't figure it out."
Sun Shan looked for a while and found that there were more and more people. He was a little worried that there were not enough people to send.
It would be bad if the people who came later didn’t get it.
Huang smiled and said, "Don't worry, Shanzi. We have prepared everything at home. Anyone who sees it will get a share."
This time Sun Shan is holding a banquet, and anyone who wants to come from all over the place can join in the fun.
Guyu and Hanlu saw that not only the villagers nearby came, but also the people in the city.
Hanlu pointed at a woman and said, "That auntie does business next door to our escort agency. I didn't expect her to come here so early. Tsk tsk~ She must have gotten up in the middle of the night to come here."
The county seat is half a day’s walk from Sunjia Village, and the monument-setting ceremony was held early in the morning.
So if you want to get the top-ranking cake and top-ranking candy, you have to come here in the dark of the night.
Guyu smiled and said, "Maybe he's staying with relatives nearby."
Lixia disagreed and said, "It's possible that they rushed in in the middle of the night. As a mother, she can do anything for her children."
Although the gates of Huangyang County were closed, there were plenty of ways to leave the city.
You can get out of the city by finding a dog hole or walking along a small path.
Xiaoman silently looked at the long line of people waiting to get the "good luck" and couldn't help but touch her stomach, but it was still empty.
In fact, over the years, I had seen doctors in Huangyang County, in remote small villages, and even in Guangzhou Prefecture, but they could not find any reason why I couldn't get pregnant.
Logically speaking, if she could have children before, she could have children after. The doctor also said that Xiaoman was not too old, and it was reasonable for her to have children at this age.
It’s a pity that Xiaoman couldn’t get pregnant.
Today, seeing the boy happily eating the Zhuangyuan Cake and candy, I felt even more bitter.
Sun Shan saw that the village chief's arrangements were in order and proper. He thought it was a blessing for the villagers to have such a good village chief.
Uncle Sun hurriedly pulled Cowboy and the two boys in veils over, stuffed the champion cake and candy into Sun Shan's hands and said, "Shanzi, quickly feed Cowboy the champion cake."
Sun Shan: ...
What the hell is going on, Uncle? The cowboy is already so big, why do you still need to feed him?
Uncle Sun said with a smile: "Shanzi, feed the cowboy quickly. It must be the best omen if the master Jinshi feeds it himself."
Just now, Third Aunt Sun and Second Aunt Sun were fighting to be the first to receive the No. 1 Prize Cake and No. 1 Prize Candy, just like fighting to get the first incense stick on New Year's Day.
As a result, Aunt Sun, who had always done the hard labor, was the fastest and took the first spot, which made Uncle and Aunt Sun very angry.
Uncle Sun suddenly had an idea. Although he couldn't get the first place, he could "add conditions" and let the Jinshi master feed the baby personally, which would add to the joy.
When Aunt Sun heard this, she was overjoyed.
Although Aunt Sun was the first to grab the No. 1 Cake, it was sent by an outsider.
Now, not only is she assigned by the Jinshi master, but she is also fed by him. Isn't that full of joy?
Uncle Sun and Aunt Sun discussed it together.
He brought Guang'er and De'er's children over and asked Sun Shan to feed them personally.
As the second son, Yong Ge'er, had not yet given birth to a son, Uncle Sun San and Aunt Sun glared at Yong Ge's daughter-in-law.
Sun Shan met Uncle Sun's expectant eyes, and then met Cowboy and Gaitou's puzzled eyes.
He took the steamed cake reluctantly and fed it to the cowboy first, and then to the veil.
Uncle Sun was overjoyed and laughed loudly: "My grandson is so lucky. Today, the Jinshi master personally fed him cakes. In the future, he will definitely be like the Jinshi master, pass the imperial examination and bring honor to the family."
