Chapter 935: Jinshi Banquet (5)
The next day, the Jinshi banquet continued.
The village chief, Sun Bomin, led Sun Shan to welcome the guests at the gate of the ancestral hall early in the morning.
Because of the experience of the first day, the second day was more organized.
At noon, Mr. Hong led the current and former students of the Hong School.
The same goes for Huang Xiucai.
The two groups of people walked together and came over in a mighty procession.
As a consultant with good looks, De Ge'er immediately ran up to Hong Xiucai and Huang Xiucai when he saw them.
He said happily, "Master, you are here, please come in."
Of course, De Ge'er also saw his father-in-law and brother-in-law, and he gave them an even warmer welcome.
When Sun Shan saw the two teachers, he was instantly filled with smiles.
The little short-legged boy trotted up and said happily, "Master, you are here."
Then he said to Mr. Huang, "Master Huang, you are here too. Please come in."
Sun Shan stepped forward and gently supported Mr. Hong.
Mr. Hong held his head high, glanced at Mr. Huang, and took the first step forward with the support of Sun Shan.
Huang Xiucai was so angry.
On the way, Mr. Hong tried his best to show off that he had a good student.
When they arrived at Sunjia Village, Huang Xiucai's eyes turned red instantly when he saw Sun Shan was so respectful to his teacher, as if he had conjunctivitis like Uncle Sun.
Envy, jealousy and hatred, he wanted to shout to the sky: God is unfair, why is Sun Shan not his student, but the student named Hong? Why? Why?
Why couldn’t his school produce a single scholar? Why, why?
De Ge'er saw that Huang Xiucai seemed to have hysteria and couldn't help but rush forward to pinch him.
Huang Xiucai felt a little pain, then regained his senses.
De Ge'er secretly breathed a sigh of relief: "Uncle, let's go quickly. I'll ask the kitchen to serve you the best food later."
Huang Xiucai looked at De Ge'er with satisfaction. Yes, this one is definitely one of ours.
He nodded and said, "Okay, let's take a seat first."
Sun Shan helped Hong Xiucai to take a seat. The village chief and Sun Bomin came over to thank Hong Xiucai for his training of Sun Shan.
Hong Xiucai refused to take any credit for it and quickly shook his head and said, "Ashan's success is due to his own efforts. I didn't play a big role."
Sun Bomin didn't think so. He shook his head and said, "Master, our Shanzi came to study with you. He is what he is today because of your careful training. A tall building is built from the ground. The most important thing is the foundation. Without you laying the foundation for Shanzi, how could he build a tall building? Shanzi often says that the person he is most grateful to in his life is you. It is because of you that he has become what he is today."
Hong Xiucai knew that this was Sun Boming's true words. The father of his student had always been honest and sincere, completely different from his student.
Hong Xiucai once suspected that Sun Bomin had adopted the wrong son.
No matter what, Sun Boming's compliments sounded very comfortable.
Hong Xiucai's hard face was filled with smiles: "Ashan's success today is inseparable from his hard work and diligence. Ashan is the best student I have ever taught."
Then he sighed and said, "I don't know if I can meet a student like Ashan in the future."
Mr. Huang, who was standing next to him, gritted his teeth and said, "Mr. Hong, do you still want to meet him?"
dream!
God must be fair, this time it should be his turn.
The man named Hong was a scholar like himself and ranked similarly to him. Sun Shan's success was entirely due to his own talent and had nothing to do with Hong.
Alas, Mr. Sun’s father was deceived by the hypocrisy of this man named Hong.
Mr. Sun’s father, you should believe in your son’s ability, but you cannot believe in Mr. Hong’s “ability”.
He has no talent at all.
Although he was slandering Hong Xiucai in his heart, Huang Xiucai was still very rational. He smiled and said, "My dear brother-in-law, I have known Ashan since he was a child. I knew he had great potential. Now he has really become a great man. My dear brother-in-law, you are really great. You have taught a good son. Oh, I wish Ashan was my grandson. Hahaha~~"
This is the true statement. Rather than having a master-disciple relationship with Sun Shan, it is better to have a father-son relationship right away.
Alas, it’s such a pity that I don’t have any children or grandchildren like Sun Shan.
The village chief next to him echoed: "Scholar, don't talk about you, I also want Ashan to be my grandson. Hahaha, many people present hope that they are Bomin and raise a good son."
When Sun Boming heard everyone's compliments, his dark old face turned dark and loud.
He smiled so hard that his teeth were showing and said, "Haha, thank you for your compliments. Your children and grandchildren are not bad either. I think they are all doing well."
When the classmates from Huangyang County saw Sun Shan, they hurriedly saluted and greeted him.
Sun Shan also came back, and this time he was filled with emotion when he saw his old friends again.
Sun Shan was the last in the Hong family school, and Yao Zhi was the second last.
Colleagues like to "kill" each other. Yao Zhi is a short man, and he doesn't like the short man Sun Shan, so the two of them had some unpleasant experiences.
At that time, Sun Shan was jumping high in the yard, and he said that he got the prescription from the imperial physician in the city, which could help him grow taller.
When Yao Zhi heard this, he immediately followed suit and secretly practiced high jump in his small yard at home.
Unfortunately, no matter how much they jumped, they were still the shortest and second to last.
When I saw Yao Zhi again, he had grown from a skinny dwarf to a fat dwarf.
Oh, it seems that Yao Zhi has lived a good life these years, eating a lot of delicious food.
When Yao Zhi saw Sun Shan, he greeted him timidly.
Of course Yao Zhi remembered the little grudge from before, but judging from Sun Shan's personality, he should have forgiven him long ago.
Sun Shan passed the examinations for scholar and juren, and he also attended the banquet. This time he passed the examination for jinshi, so he must attend even more.
Zeng Jiajun, wearing an apron, brought the dishes out of the kitchen and asked the chef to fill them up.
He called out, "Teacher, classmates, you have been walking all morning, you must be tired and hungry. Come and eat. Hehe, I specially filled the kitchen with food. If it is not enough, please make a noise."
This is the advantage of having many acquaintances. Eating, drinking and having fun are much better than with ordinary people.
When the classmates saw Zeng Jiajun's appearance as a waiter, they burst into laughter.
He Weizhan, who used to have the best grades, joked: "Ajun, you look so handsome in this outfit. You should dress like this in the future."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone burst into laughter.
Zeng Jiajun said with a smile, "A handsome man looks handsome in anything he wears. Hehe, Azan, thank you for the compliment."
As soon as these words came out, the classmates immediately booed.
Zeng Jiajun asked Xiatou to come and serve Master Hong. He was Master Hong's student, and his son was also Master Hong's student.
The fact is that Master Hong always encounters this situation, where one person teaches two generations.
Xia Tou stood up timidly and hurriedly poured tea and handed water to Master Hong.
Master Hong smiled and said, "Tinghui, go play, you are not needed here."
When Xia Tou heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, saluted like a student, and left quickly.
Huang Xiucai joked, "Ajun's son is not like Ajun in any way, except that they are exactly the same in running. Who is faster, the father or the son?"
As soon as these words were spoken, there was another round of laughter.
Sun Shan invited everyone to eat and drink, and continued eating after they finished their meal.
Hong Xiucai smiled and said, "Ashan, we have guests, you go and take care of it. We can do it ourselves."
Sun Shan wanted to chat with the teacher and his classmates for a while longer, but the next day there were still many guests coming from far away, so he had to apologize and leave.
