Chapter 937: A prosperous autumn with both good fortune and longevity, a prosperous year for officia
After the Jinshi Banquet, one of the glories in Sun Shan's life, ended, the village chief and clan elders began to prepare to build the ancestral hall.
This was a very solemn event, and the village chief asked fortune teller Yang to choose the date.
It is said that ever since fortune teller Yang figured out that there were official hats in the Sun family's old house and the Sun family ancestral hall, it turned out that Sun Shan was really an official.
He walked out of Yangjia Village and headed for Huangyang County, becoming a well-known fortune teller.
It is also a well-known trademark of Huangyang County.
Many people came from far away to ask Yang to tell their fortune and see if there was an official in their house.
Yang the fortune teller is also a talented person. He rarely comes out of seclusion, and when he does, he only chooses rich people to do his fortune telling.
What's more, his words were ambiguous. If it came true, it would naturally be his credit. If it didn't come true, it would be the customer's problem.
Fortune tellers originally made money, and now Yang the fortune teller makes even more money and has become the second richest man in Yangjia Village.
Yang's fortune-telling performance is so good, and Su has made a lot of contributions to it.
Because Sun Shan passed the imperial examination and had already been appointed, Su suddenly became the number one old man in Huangyang County.
Many wealthy families who wanted to establish connections would always send invitations to the Su family to attend their "tea parties."
As for why Huang was not invited, it was because she was old. Who would dare to invite her? If something went wrong, Mr. Sun would never let his family off.
At first, Su didn't dare to go. Under so many "flash lights", he was afraid that he would say something wrong, be embarrassed and lose face for Sun Shan.
Ever since Sister Yun took her there several times and she heard flattering words every time, Su felt extremely satisfied and went to participate happily.
As time goes by, people always talk about Sun Shan, and when people talk about Sun Shan, they can't help but make up some strange legends.
In the past, Sun Banxian was the main fortune teller, but Sun Banxian passed away early, which made Yang the fortune teller suddenly emerge.
Through Su's gossipy mouth, the news of Yang's fortune-telling spread among the ladies in an instant. All the ladies knew about it, and the masters knew about it even more.
Now, Yang Suomian has become a leader in the fortune-telling industry in Huangyang County and a number one "Internet celebrity".
On the first day of the Jinshi Banquet, Sun Shan met Yang the fortune teller.
If he had to say he believed it, Sun Shan really didn't believe it. But if he had to say he didn't believe it, he could actually believe it.
Because Sun Shan's original book is the "Book of Changes", he likes to discuss divination and prediction issues with people who know the subject.
Yang is indeed quite capable of fortune-telling, but it is definitely fake to say that he knows everything about astronomy and geography and can make predictions.
When facing the top scholar in Zhangzhou Prefecture, Yang the fortune teller knew that his skills were not enough to fool the clever Sun Shan.
He did not dare to make any specious statements, but discussed numerology with Sun Shan very honestly.
Su secretly went to find fortune teller Yang and asked him to predict whether Hu Ming would bring disaster to the Sun family, and more importantly, whether he would bring disaster to Sun Mountain.
The Su family didn't want Hu Ming, a man who brought bad luck to his relatives, to stay in the Sun family's old house.
Yang the fortune teller said without hesitation: "Old lady, Mr. Sun is destined to be rich and powerful, and his fate is very strong. How can a little tiger cry defeat him? Old lady, don't worry, Mr. Sun is not an ordinary person, he can calm everything down."
When he was a child, Yang the Fortune Teller tried to tell Sun Shan's fortune, but he couldn't figure it out. Now it seems that Sun Shan's unusual fate is beyond the ability of a mere fortune teller like him to predict.
As for Hu Ming's situation, it is nothing to mention in front of Sun Shan, so there is no need to worry at all.
Yang the fortune teller continued, "Old lady, just be content to be an old lady. You and the old master will enjoy happiness. Mr. Sun Jinshi will have a long and prosperous life, and his career will be prosperous for a hundred years."
After hearing what fortune teller Yang said, Su was very happy.
But on the other hand, he still didn't want Hu Ming to stay in the Sun family's old house, mainly because it was a waste of money.
He has to eat and study at the same time, and the cost is too high. He would be shocked if he did the math. The Su family doesn't want to let outsiders take advantage of him.
So Su quietly pulled Sun Shan out and asked stealthily, "Shan Zi, what are you going to do with Hu Ming?"
After a pause, he continued, "Hu Ming's surname is Yang, not Sun, so it's not convenient for him to stay at home. The village chief and the elders have objections. It's better to raise a child from the same village than a child from another village. You are from Sun Village, not Yang Village.
"Then he continued, "But the village chief and the elders are also wrong. What do you mean by raising children from our own village? Humph, don't we have any children at home? Do we need to raise outsiders' children? In a few years, you and Sister Yun will give Grandma Grandma a few boys, and we will definitely raise our own children."
Bah! The village chief and clan elders had a good idea, wanting them to support the kids in the village. No way!
Speaking of Hu Ming, Sun Shan and Yun Jie'er discussed it for several days and decided to adopt Hu Ming as their adopted son.
In this way, he could stay in the Sun family's old house openly.
Now Hu Ming is just staying at the Sun family temporarily, and is seen as an outsider, which seems a bit inappropriate.
Sun Shan and Yun Jie'er thought about it and decided to adopt Hu Ming as their adopted son. It was only natural for a foster father and foster mother to raise a godson.
If Hu Ming is allowed to live in the Sun family's old house on the pretext of being Sun Shan's godson, outsiders will not be able to say anything.
At this time, the adopted son, except for not taking the adoptive father's surname, is the closest relative to his biological son.
Sun Shan and Yun Jie'er decided to raise Hu Ming as their son, which would also be a way to accumulate merits for themselves.
Sun Shan directly said to Su: "Mother, if you don't come to me, I will come to you and tell you about Hu Ming's arrangement."
Su asked quickly: "What arrangements? Are you letting Hu Ming go back to Yang Village? Oh, that's great. Hu Ming's last name is Yang, so he should go back."
Sun Shan shook his head and said, "Mother, I have decided to adopt Hu Ming as my adopted son. From now on, I will be Hu Ming's adopted father, and you will be Hu Ming's adopted grandmother."
Su was stunned for a moment, and when she reacted, she immediately objected: "Shanzi, no. Why do you want to recognize Huming as your adopted son? You will have your own son in the future. It is absolutely unacceptable to recognize someone else's child as your son for no reason."
Sun Shan told Su not to get excited and explained gently, "Mother, Hu Ming has a miserable life. I have been close friends with his father since childhood. I really can't bear to see my good friend's son suffer."
Su shook her head and said, "Hu Ming won't suffer even if he stays in the Yang family. There are many children who suffer more than him. He is the grandson of Landlord Yang. Even if Yang Dalang is mean, he would not dare to rashly covet the land that Landlord Yang left for Hu Ming."
Sun Shan whispered, "Mother, if Yang Dalang and his wife had treated Hu Ming well, Landlord Yang would not have entrusted his son to me before his death. Mother, everyone in the area knows who Yang Dalang and his wife are. Hu Ming is pitiful for having such an uncle and aunt."
The gossipy Su had long known what kind of people Yang Dalang and his wife were.
The two of them were not good people, and were very different from Landlord Yang. If they were not desperate, the tenant farmers would not want to rent his land for farming.
Sun Shan continued, "Mother, there is actually another important reason. I will only tell you this reason. Grandma and father don't know it."
Su's eyes widened and he asked curiously, "What? Shanzi, tell me quickly."
I really want to know what my son said. What is the reason that even my mother-in-law and the head of the family can't tell me?
Su smiled proudly, this child was indeed her biological child, and he was on her side, telling the secret only to her, his mother.
