Chapter 947 Sun Shan prepares to hold a banquet in Guangzhou
After Hu Ming's family reunion banquet, Sun Shan prepared to hold a banquet in Guangzhou.
I wrote to Aunt Sun before, asking her to help prepare the banquet.
Yesterday, Aunt Sun also wrote to say that the date for the banquet has been chosen and all the necessary preparations have been made, and asked Sun Shan to go there quickly.
The letter also specifically emphasized that Sun Shan should not be hesitant and should be more decisive.
After seeing the letter, Yun Jieer chuckled: "Brother Shan, Auntie really understands you. She knows that you always touch things, so she wrote this letter specifically to ask you to go away early."
Sun Shan was speechless. In fact, he didn't touch her at all, he just moved a little slowly.
Sun Shan shook his head and said, "There is still a long time before the banquet, so there is no rush."
That being said, Sun Shan is not in a hurry, but Sun Boming and Su are.
After receiving the letter from their eldest aunt, Sun Boming and Su packed their luggage, made an appointment with the escort team, and prepared to go to Guangzhou.
Sun Bomin asked, "Shanzi, have you finished writing the invitation? Don't leave anyone out, or others will think you look down on him."
Su also said, "Yes, Shanzi, you can't leave anyone out, especially your classmates. You must invite them, otherwise people will say that you are an official, look down on others, and don't invite anyone."
Su had another little thought. After Sun Shan passed the imperial examination and became a scholar, most of his classmates were richer and more powerful than the Sun family.
Even if such classmates fail to pass the imperial examination, they should still be well protected. In case they encounter problems in the future, they may be able to help.
As for the relatives and friends in Huangyang County, Su curled her lips. It was good enough not to implicate Shanzi. If she wanted them to help, forget it.
In Huangyang County, who can cross the mountain?
Of course there is no answer.
Of course, we must make friends with people like the county magistrate and the chief clerk.
Haha, these powerful people are the ones that the Sun family wants to make friends with.
Su thought that she might be able to make some money by hosting a banquet in Shanziluofu City.
The people in Hejiacun are rich, and Shanzi’s friends and classmates are also rich.
For those who come to the banquet, the gifts are not expensive, but at least they are much better than those provided by Huangyang County.
Haha, it’s not bad to make a lot of money, which I can leave for my younger brother Xiaoxiao’s studies in the future.
While Su was thinking about how much money she could make, she was also thinking about which clothes she could wear to reflect her status as an old lady.
I must wear the big gold bracelet that Sun Shan gave me.
As for clothes, after thinking for a while, he said to Yun Jieer: "Xiaoxiao's mother, Shanzi brought a piece of purple cloth from Jinling. Please make me the latest clothes in Fucheng. I heard that purple is popular in Fucheng."
Yun Jie'er had nothing to do when she was free. She thought that she wouldn't have to take her daughter with her if she made clothes, so she smiled and said, "Mother, why don't we go to the city to make them? I don't know what styles and colors are popular in the city. I'll have to ask the embroiderers in the cloth shop to find out when we get there."
Sister Yun hasn't been to Guangzhou for a long time, so how would she know what styles and colors are popular?
I glanced at Su suspiciously. How did my mother-in-law know that purple was popular? Who told her?
Su thought about it, nodded and said, "That's right, I haven't been to the city for a long time, and I don't know what colors and styles the old ladies in the city wear. Let's talk about it after we go to the city."
Yun Jieer showed two dimples when she smiled, and said happily: "Mother, if you don't have time, you can also buy ready-made ones. There are many embroidery workshops in the city, and they also have ready-made clothes."
When Mrs. Su heard about buying ready-made clothes, she immediately shook her head and said, "Ready-made clothes must be very expensive and not worth buying. It's definitely better to make them yourself. If you have that money to buy ready-made clothes, it's better to save it for my good grandson's education."
Su looked at Sister Yun with a look that said "You're such a spendthrift".
I thought to myself: Why spend more money on my wife, a free worker? If I spend a penny more, I will have a penny less for my grandchildren.
Humph, what a spendthrift daughter-in-law.
After Su said this, Sister Yun was speechless. She touched her belly and instantly felt bad.
Alas, Brother Shan is not helpful. He has been back for so many days, but I am still not pregnant.
She also wanted to give Xiaoxiao a younger brother, but the more she thought about it, the more confused she became.
Yun Jieer thought she had become immune to the fact that her mother-in-law and father-in-law would often laugh at her younger brother, but it turned out she was not immune to it.
When it comes to my son, I lose my mood.
Sun Shan jumped out and said, "Mother, although Sister Yun's embroidery is good, it is far inferior to the embroidery ladies outside. Mother, I saw the city, so I went to the embroidery shop to buy ready-made clothes. If there is still time, let the embroidery shop tailor it for me."
Su was unhappy when she heard this: "Shanzi, why waste so much money? Embroidery is expensive. We do have a few copper coins at home, but we can't waste them like this."
Sun Shan gently supported Su and held her dry old hand.
He said very gently, "Mother, you are my mother, you must wear the best. Sister Yun's craftsmanship is acceptable in Huangyang County, but not in Guangzhou Prefecture. She is not as good as the embroiderers in the embroidery workshop. Mother, I want you to wear the best clothes, eat the best food, and live in the best house. Mother, I want to honor you well."
After hearing what Sun Shan said, Su was so moved that she felt very happy.
Look, it's better to have a son. With Sun Shan, she can live the life of an "old lady" now.
Su said cheerfully, "Oh, mother knows your feelings. But you can't go to the embroidery workshop to make clothes. It's too expensive and not worth it."
After thinking for a while, he said, "I'd better not make clothes. I already have several sets of clothes and can't spend any more money. I have to save the money at home and leave it to my grandchildren in the future."
Sun Shan told Su that he would give her the best.
Huang also said that she would give Sun Boming the best.
Sun Bomin's honest face was full of smiles. He shook his head and said, "Your mother is right. We just made new clothes at home. We can't make any more."
Huang also said anxiously: "Shanzi, don't make clothes for me. Grandma doesn't have so many clothes. If you want to make clothes, make them for you and Yunjie. You are young and often have to go out for social events."
Su and Sun Boming packed their luggage happily. They were very happy to see their son speak so nicely.
Huang said, "Grandma won't go this time. She's old and the journey is long. If you guys don't understand something, just ask Aunt Shanzi."
Sun Shan originally wanted to take Huang with him, but the journey was indeed long and Huang's health was getting worse year by year, so he didn't dare to overwork himself for fear of an accident.
I am old and dare not move.
Sun Shan smiled and said, "Grandma, don't worry. I won't be polite to my aunt. I will go to her if I have any problem. My aunt has experience, and we can learn from her."
After a pause, he continued, "Grandma, when I come back I'll bring you some delicious food from the city to make you happy."
Huang waved her hands repeatedly and said, "Grandma, don't eat it. We have everything at home. Don't waste money."
Sister Yun also came over and said with a smile: "Grandma, I'll bring you some delicious food too. I'm most familiar with the city. I'll buy you whatever you want to eat."
