Chapter 946 The Recognition Banquet Ends
After all the guests arrived, the family recognition meeting officially began.
In fact, there was no important ceremony. Hu Ming just kowtowed to the Sun family members one by one, offered tea, and then accepted gifts.
Sun Shan gave Hu Ming a set of writing brushes and ink, and said with high hopes: "Hu Ming, this set of writing brushes is my adoptive father's favorite. Now I give it to you, I hope you will study hard. Studying is to understand the truth, understanding the truth is to cultivate oneself, and cultivating oneself is to be a good person."
Hu Ming immediately kowtowed three times to Sun Shan and said solemnly, "Foster father, I understand."
Sister Yun gave Hu Ming a pair of gold bracelets and said gently, "Good boy, I hope you will be safe, grow up quickly, and make progress in your studies."
Hu Ming kowtowed to Yun Jie'er three more times and said seriously, "Stepmother, I understand."
Afterwards, Hu Ming kowtowed and offered tea to Huang, Sun Boming and Su one by one.
Huang gave Hu Ming a gold necklace, Sun Bomin gave him a red envelope, and Su gave him a gold longevity lock.
Afterwards, relatives and friends presented gifts one by one.
Uncle Sun handed over a red envelope with a painful look on his face, looked at Hu Ming, and said seriously: "Hu Ming, you must study hard, and when you pass the imperial examinations in the future, don't forget the Sun family."
As soon as he said this, everyone looked at him.
Uncle Sun is also thick-skinned. He can watch if he likes, but he still has to say the ugly things.
It is impossible for the Sun family to raise Hu Ming without asking for anything in return. He is not that noble and righteous.
Hu Ming's face was tense as he promised solemnly: "Uncle San, I know. When I grow up and have a promising future, I will definitely repay the Sun family."
Uncle Sun looked at Hu Ming with satisfaction. No matter whether it was true or false, the words sounded nice, so he didn't feel so bad about giving him the red envelope.
After the tea, the banquet began.
Hong Xiucai smiled and said, "Hu Ming is indeed a good-looking boy, very likable."
Sun Shan said cheerfully, "Teacher, can you help me see if Hu Ming has any talent for studying?"
Hong Xiucai shook his head and said, "Whether you have talent or not, you will know after taking the test. But even if you don't have talent, you are better than me. I will definitely be handsome in the future. And you, tsk tsk~~"
The meaning is self-evident.
Hong Xiucai recalled the first time he met Sun Shan. He was short, thin and looked malnourished. He never expected him to achieve what he has today.
Fortunately, he adhered to the principle of "teaching only the talented" and did not reject Sun Shan because he was ugly.
Haha, Hong Xiucai gave himself a thumbs up for his wise move.
Sun Shan's face fell, and his triangular eyes drooped even higher.
Is it polite for Hong Xiucai to speak like this? Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because you are a teacher.
Sun Shan said speechlessly: "Master, you can't judge a person by his appearance. You can't measure the depth of the sea. Besides, I am so handsome."
Mr. Hong really wanted to roll his eyes. This student was so shameless. He was obviously very ugly. Who gave him the courage to say that he was pretty?
Hong Xiucai looked at the little fat girl in Su's arms and said thankfully, "Fortunately, fortunately, your daughter doesn't look like you."
Sun Shan: ...
I really want to beat up Mr. Hong and let him know why the flowers are so red!
The reunion banquet for Sun Shan and Hu Ming went very smoothly.
No one from the Sun family caused any trouble, and no one from the Yang family caused any trouble either.
Even Hu Ming's aunt, who was said to be "sarcastic, sweet-mouthed but treacherous", was quiet and gave Hu Ming a kind smile.
Hu Ming's cousins also pestered Hu Ming to play, and they looked very happy.
The elders of Yangjia Village privately warned Yang Dalang to keep an eye on his wife, as the hope of Yangjia Village now is Huming.
If Hu Ming could learn 50% of Sun Jinshi's skills, there would be hope for Yangjia Village.
The Yang family members were very pleased with Sun Shan's adoption of Hu Ming as his adopted son. The most important thing was that Hu Ming did not change his surname and still belonged to Yangjia Village.
If Hu Ming becomes successful in the future, the glory will belong to Yangjia Village.
The elder of the Yang family sighed and said: "Mr. Sun Jinshi was righteous. He took Hu Ming in and trained him without asking for anything in return. This kindness, righteousness and selflessness are admirable."
Although the Sun family is rich, it is not a reason for them to raise children from outsiders.
Sun Shan had made it clear to the people in Yangjia Village before that no matter whether Hu Ming had a promising future or not, he was still the son of Yang Qingbei and the descendants of Yangjia Village. They would not possess Hu Ming, nor would they covet anything from Hu Ming.
The elders of the Yang family believed what Sun Shan said and only put the fields belonging to Hu Ming under the management of Yangjia Village, and the Sun family did not touch them at all.
From this we can see that Mr. Sun is upright and has noble character.
The head of Yang's village nodded and said, "No wonder Sun's village can produce a scholar. With such a village tradition, where else would the official hat be placed if not in the Sun's ancestral hall?"
Yang the fortune teller was also present today. Firstly, he was the one who calculated the date for the recognition of relatives, and secondly, he was also a member of Yangjia Village. His status in Yangjia Village rose steadily as Sun Shan became a Jinshi.
Fortune teller Yang looked at Sun Shan, then at Hu Ming, and his occupational disease came back to him.
Shenshen said suddenly: "Hu Ming's fortune was not good before, but now that he is raised by Jinshi Sun, his fortune has changed. In the whole Huangyang County, Jinshi Sun has the most precious fortune. Hu Ming has slowly changed under the influence of Jinshi Sun."
His eyes lit up and he said happily: "Village head, elders, maybe our Yangjia Village will become the next Sunjia Village."
When the people in Yangjia Village heard this, everyone's face lit up.
Yang Dalang was also happy. He glared at his wife and whispered, "You should be nice to Hu Ming in the future. If Hu Ming becomes prosperous, we will also benefit. If you are mean to him and Hu Ming holds a grudge, we will be in trouble."
Yang Dalang's wife looked at Hu Ming angrily. Before she came, the elders of the clan warned her not to speak, so as not to make more mistakes.
Yang Dalang's wife thought to herself that if she didn't want to say anything, she could just focus on eating. She didn't have to pay for the banquet anyway.
Hearing what Yang Dalang said, he instantly became unhappy.
But they were not stupid enough. They knew that this was the territory of the top scholar, and they also knew that Hu Ming had a bright future, so they could only benefit from it.
You can't write two Yang characters with one stroke. Hu Ming is a member of the Yang family and is a close relative to them.
He hid his dissatisfaction in his heart and said expressionlessly: "I know it without you telling me. Didn't you see it today? All the children in the family played with Hu Ming."
Before, I was afraid that the tiger’s roar would harm my relatives, so I didn’t allow the children in my family to get close to it.
Now Hu Ming's godfather is a Jinshi scholar. Today is different from the past. His status has changed a lot. He must let the child get familiar with Hu Ming, maintain the relationship, and maintain the feelings.
No matter what, the family reunion banquet of Sun Shan and Hu Ming went very smoothly and the guests ate to their heart's content.
I wish that Mr. Sun would adopt more sons and hold more family recognition banquets. It is a rare opportunity to have delicious fish and meat, and it is rare to have enough to eat. If not now, when will I eat?
Sun Bomin, Sun Shan and Hu Ming stood at the door, seeing off the guests one by one.
Sun Shan watched the little adult roaring like a tiger, followed him, and imitated him, and couldn't help laughing.
He nodded Hu Ming's head and said with a smile, "Okay, it's over. Have a good rest tonight. You still have to go to school tomorrow. I have missed a lot of lessons in the past few days, and I will make up for it with you starting tomorrow."
Hu Ming has been busy following Sister Yun these days. As a little kid, no one knows what he is busy with. In any case, he has not been studying well.
I said ashamedly: "Godfather, I understand. I will study hard and live up to your expectations."
Sun Shan shook his head and said, "As long as you study hard, it will be fine. My adoptive father doesn't ask for much. Just do it with a clear conscience."
Hu Ming hummed and nodded solemnly: "Godfather, I understand."
