Chapter 932: Jinshi Banquet (2)
Su's large gold bracelet sparkling with pearls quickly attracted the woman's attention.
One of the landlady who came to establish a relationship with her said flatteringly, "Madam, this big gold bracelet is so special. Where did you buy it? I have never seen such a bright bracelet. What are those things on it? They are so bright and shining."
The exaggerated tone and expression were deeply loved by Su.
Su curled her lips and said arrogantly, "Of course you haven't seen it. This was bought in the capital. It's the capital, not Huangyang County, nor Guangzhou Prefecture. My son bought it from the capital and gave it to me. It's beautiful, right? I think it's beautiful too."
The landlady continued to flatter, "It's beautiful, very beautiful. This is the first time I've seen such a beautiful bracelet. Oh, Mr. Sun is such a filial son. He brought it back from the capital all the way. I'm really envious. If I had a good son like Mr. Sun, I would be so happy."
I wanted to say that I would die with my eyes closed, but luckily I didn’t say it out loud. It’s such a happy day, I can’t say it.
Su curled her lips and said, "Looking at your long horse face, you don't look like you can be an old lady."
Humph, you think it is so easy to pass the imperial examination? What a big dream.
In all these years, Zhangzhou Prefecture has only produced one Jinshi.
Su despised the landlord's wife for eating turnips in broad daylight and having big dreams.
But since guests are so willing to come to the banquet today, we must give them some face.
He said complacently: "Yes, yes, I will encourage my son to study hard, maybe he can pass the imperial examination in the future."
Another landlady also came up to Su and said flatteringly, "Madam, this big gold bracelet must be very expensive, right? I think the gold and jade are all expensive goods and worth a lot of money."
This big gold bracelet is really beautiful. It almost blinds everyone's eyes. You can tell at a glance that it is very expensive.
Oh, it’s true that same person has different fate, same cover but different handle.
How come Su, who has a skinny face, is so lucky to give birth to a son who becomes a Jinshi?
The women present wished Sun Shan was their son.
Su really didn't know how much the big gold bracelet was worth, and Sun Shan wouldn't tell her when she asked him. But this amount must be very expensive.
With a big smile on his face, he said, "I don't know how much my son Shanzi spent on this. He always says that as long as I like it, it's worth any amount of money. This is what they call "money can't buy what you love". My son Shanzi has always been filial, and when he sees something he likes, he wants to buy it for me."
When she said this, she lifted up her sleeves, revealing a large gold bracelet flawlessly.
He raised his hand so that everyone could see clearly.
The little fat girl in Su's arms followed the movement of the big gold bracelet, and her eyes sparkled.
Aunt Sun, who was accompanying the guests, looked at Su's glittering gold bracelet with envy and jealousy.
With a smile on his face, he said, "Sister-in-law, I think the big gold bracelet is worth at least a hundred taels. Not to mention that it is made of gold and gemstones, just looking at the workmanship, it is really unique. You can't find such an exquisite bracelet in Huangyang County. No, I don't think you can find it in Guangzhou Prefecture either. Such a beautiful bracelet, I'm afraid it can only be found in the capital."
When everyone heard that this big gold bracelet was worth hundreds of taels, their hearts skipped a beat.
Aunt Sun is exaggerating too much. A bracelet costs 100 taels. Is it made of gold?
Then I thought, if it is really made of gold, it might really cost one hundred taels.
Su's heart also skipped a beat.
What! This big gold bracelet is worth hundreds of taels? Third brother's wife is exaggerating.
Su's vision was limited. No matter how hard she thought, she could not imagine that the gold bracelet was worth a hundred taels, nor did she think it was really worth more than a hundred taels.
But Aunt Sun raised the price so much that her vanity could be satisfied.
He looked at Aunt Sun with admiration and said mysteriously, "This big gold bracelet can be worth 100 taels or 1 tael. It was given to me by my son Shanzi. I like it anyway."
He showed off his son's filial piety so blatantly. Haha, all the mothers present were so jealous that their hearts were bleeding.
Su looked like she deserved a beating, but what she said was true.
Mr. Sun is indeed filial.
Even though he was not filial, the honor brought by Sun Jinshi was something people envied and jealous of.
Honest Aunt Sun also complimented her, "Sister-in-law is right. Even if it is just a blade of grass, it is a token of his love. Shanzi is a well-known filial son in the surrounding area. Sister-in-law is so lucky."
Su curled her lips and hummed.
This second brother's wife doesn't talk much usually, and it's rare that she says something that suits her taste.
His son Shanzi is indeed a filial son, and she is indeed enjoying a good life.
I'm afraid there is no woman in Huangyang County who can compare to me.
But she is the mother of a Jinshi, so her status is different.
In the near future you will be a lady of the imperial court, receiving money from the imperial court.
While taking care of Huang, Sister Yun secretly looked at Su and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Last night, Shan Ge asked her to keep a close eye on her mother-in-law, fearing that she might say something wrong and offend people without knowing it, so he asked her to give him some advice.
But at the moment, what my mother-in-law said is still tolerable and does not require special reminders.
It seems that my mother-in-law also knows her limits and knows what to say in different situations.
Sister Yun looked at the little girl who came back as a gift from Su.
Fortunately, I am not afraid or crying even though there are so many people around today.
If I cry loudly, it will be annoying. It seems that my daughter is also a smart one.
Sun Shan didn't know the situation of the female relatives.
At this moment, he is still standing in front of the ancestral hall to welcome guests.
Grandpa Su and Grandma Su brought their whole family to attend the wedding banquet.
When Grandpa Su saw Sun Shan, he excitedly shouted, "Shanzi, good Shanzi. Congratulations, you finally passed the imperial examination and became a Jinshi."
Grandma Su also said excitedly: "Grandma's Shanzi, you are really amazing. Your mother is so happy."
Sun Shan quickly greeted Grandpa Su and Grandma Su, gently supported them, and said with a smile: "Grandpa, Grandma, you are here, come in and sit down quickly."
After not seeing them for more than a year, Sun Shan discovered that Grandpa Su and Grandma Su had grown older.
Both of them are in worse physical and mental condition than Huang.
When Uncle Su saw Sun Shan, he said innocently, "Shanzi, congratulations. I didn't expect you to be so talented and pass the imperial examination. My elder sister is so happy. You will enjoy a good life in the future."
Uncle Su is the same as before, no change.
Sun Shan looked at Aunt Su again, his eyes rolling around, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Mrs. Su would occasionally complain to Sun Shan about Aunt Su, as the two of them had never gotten along.
Sun Shan will definitely stand on the Su family's side unconditionally.
Cousin Da Gen and cousin Er Gen met the day before yesterday. They were both working in the Su family orchard.
At first, Su Dagen was in the orchard, and then, Grandma Su didn't know how to tell Su's family that his cousin Ergen also came to work.
Sun Shan had no objection to this. He supported anyone who worked hard.
Su Dagen scratched his head and said honestly, "Cousin Shan, I'll go help, you take care of the others."
Su Ergen also smiled and said, "Brother Shan, I'll go too, you go ahead and do your own thing."
The two brothers were now afraid of Sun Shan. When they saw him, they wanted to hide and dared not speak.
If asked why they were afraid, they didn't know. They always felt that Sun Shan had an indescribable majesty.
It's exactly the same stern face as when I was a child, even worse.
Grandpa and grandma told them to speak nicely to Cousin Shan and try to please him.
Su Dagen and Su Ergen didn't even have time to hide, so how could they go out of their way to please?
Cousin Shan’s magnetic field is too strong, so the best strategy is to run away.
