Chapter 1144 Three wealthy businessmen found the truth

Because of this incident, Sun Shan had a depressed Mid-Autumn Festival.

Eating mooncakes is like chewing wax, not fragrant at all.

The moon was full on the 16th of the 15th day of the lunar year, and before Nanny Wang could turn into a spy to find out who spread the rumors, three wealthy businessmen came to the door on the 16th of August.

Sun Shan was in no mood to meet them.

It’s not that he looks down on businessmen, but he is really very busy. If anyone can see him, does he still need to work?

So if it is not an important matter, Sun Shan will not summon him.

Butler Wang said, "Master, those three wealthy businessmen said they must see you. They came here specially to apologize to you."

Sun Shan asked doubtfully, "What are you apologizing for? When did they offend me?"

When I came to Yuanlu County, the people I met most were my colleagues, then Teacher Deng, and then the students.

As for businessmen, I have only met them twice, once at a welcome banquet and once at a donation meeting. I have no contact with them at other times.

Gifts given during festivals and holidays are either handled by Sun Dingnan or housekeeper Wang.

Sun Shan deliberately kept a distance from businessmen and gentry at all times, making sure he would not be tarnished by them and make the people think that he was in cahoots with the corrupt.

Steward Wang said in a low voice: "Master, these three merchants are the ones who sent you the maids during the Mid-Autumn Festival. They also heard the rumors and felt that they had caused trouble, so they came here to apologize to you."

Sun Shan raised his triangular eyes and asked in astonishment, "Did they spread those rumors?"

He never expected that it was this group of businessmen who fabricated and spread rumors to slander him, Sister Yun, and Little Fatty.

Aren't they trying to please themselves? Why do they do this?

Steward Wang nodded and said, "Three businessmen came to my house just now and said they wanted to see you. I must ask you what's going on. They kept hesitating and said they wanted to explain it to you in person. They refused to meet you and finally told you everything. They must apologize to you in person."

One rich businessman gave two maids as a gift, and the other two rich businessmen gave one each.

The wealthy businessmen thought that even if Sun Shan didn't accept four, he would accept three, or at least one.

After all, these four beauties were carefully selected, some slim and some plump, of all kinds, there must be one that Lord Sun likes.

But they didn't expect that Sun Shan actually returned all of them. The three wealthy businessmen were naturally puzzled and worried, fearing that they had given the wrong gifts.

Afterwards, the three of them checked and found that Lord Sun had accepted their gifts in kind and had returned them very politely, returning only the person.

Accepting half of the gift means half is reasonable and half is unreasonable. Obviously, the four maids were unreasonable and were rejected by Lord Sun.

The three wealthy businessmen discussed it over and over again, and they all agreed that the maid they sent did not meet Lord Sun's requirements and was not to his liking.

So he summoned the four maids and asked them about the situation in the backyard of the yamen.

The four maids also felt aggrieved. They had a good chat with Lord Sun when they met him. Although they were not chatting and laughing, they were friendly and happy.

But they were pushed back and had to find a new way out.

The standard beauty has always been bolder and complained: "We also asked Butler Wang why Lord Sun wanted to send us away."

Rich businessman A asked, "What did housekeeper Wang say?"

The standard beauty said aggrievedly: "Butler Wang said that Lord Sun likes women who are thick and fat, and doesn't like slender women like us."

The four beauties could not imagine that Lord Sun had such a special hobby that was different from ordinary people.

Among the four, there is not one that is stout, and certainly not one that is fat.

This Mr. Sun appears to be a scholar, but secretly he is still a country boy.

Humph, you're not farming, why do you have to be so strong and fat?

Lord Sun is like a wild boar that cannot taste fine bran. No wonder he looks like a peasant. Even if he wears a long robe, he is still a country bumpkin.

The three wealthy businessmen looked at each other in surprise. They could never have imagined that this was the reason for returning the goods.

Rich businessman B asked sternly, "Are you telling the truth or not? Did Butler Wang really say that?"

Rich Merchant C, with a cold face, seriously echoed and asked: "Did you offend Lord Sun, so you made up such an excuse?"

The four beauties kept shouting, "Master, what we said is true. Butler Wang really said so. Although this reason is a little unbelievable, it is more true than Pearl.

If Lord Sun didn't want us at first, he would have refused to see us. Lord Sun was clearly interested in us and wanted to take a look. After meeting us, he sent us away, and none of the four of us caught his eye.

We are all different, but none of us are strong. That must be why Lord Sun sent us back. Master, what we said is absolutely true, not a single word is false. "

The three wealthy businessmen saw that the four "Yangzhou skinny horses" spoke so sincerely and seemed to be silent.

The three men asked the servants to take the four maids away, and they couldn't help frowning.

Rich businessman A said in distress, "Isn't this Mr. Sun a scholar? Don't scholars like to have thin waists? Oh, I didn't expect Mr. Sun to have a thick waist."

What a mistake. The first time I sent someone to Lord Sun, I ended up hitting a brick wall.

Giving the wrong gift is a very embarrassing thing, and you might even offend someone unintentionally. Fortunately, Lord Sun accepted the other half of the gift, so they didn't feel so panicked.

Merchant B suddenly realized and said, "Although Mr. Sun is a scholar and has passed the exams one by one, he is still a farmer and comes from the countryside. I heard that country people like strong, thick and fat women.

I heard that such women are not only good at work, but also more likely to give birth to sons. Lord Sun may be influenced by his parents. Even if he studies hard, his nature and hobbies cannot be changed. "

They still knew Sun Shan's general background: he had climbed up step by step from a peasant family to an official.

They still admire him very much, and hope that their children can pass the imperial examinations and have a good family background like Mr. Sun.

Rich businessman C suddenly slapped his thigh and said loudly: "I understand, Lord Sun likes strong women, not only because they are from a peasant family, but also because Lord Sun has no son.

I heard that you only have one daughter, who is 24 years old, but still has no son. Didn’t you just say that it is easier for a strong woman to give birth to a son? I think Lord Sun is eager to give birth to a son. "

Some wealthy and powerful families, when their wives or concubines cannot give birth to sons, will try their best to find a strong and healthy girl from the countryside to marry in and give birth to a son.

This kind of thing happens around them from time to time. They hear that village girls often work and are very strong, so it is easier for them to give birth than city girls.

Mr. Sun was twenty-four years old and had only one daughter, so he was naturally anxious.

When one is anxious, the way he looks at women will change, so Butler Wang said that Lord Sun likes thick and strong ones, and what they sent did not meet his requirements.

The three wealthy businessmen looked at each other again and felt that they had found the truth.
