Chapter 246: Earn Back Face

Mrs. Liu said slowly: "Thank you, Brother Tan, my mother and son and the entire Sun family will rely on you." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar.

In everyone's opinion, although Sun Henian's death is not directly related to Sun Dan, he is jointly and severally responsible. As a surviving person, Mrs. Liu should hate Sun Dan very much.

But as soon as this sentence was spoken, not only did Mrs. Liu admit that Sun Dan was the head of the Sun family, but also gave up the power of the entire family.

This is a bit difficult to understand.

But if the housewife says so, what can everyone do?

In fact, Mrs. Liu is also at a loss these days. Although she is very scheming, she is always a woman, and when she encounters such a big event, she can no longer think of any way. If Sun Dan really ignores the Sun family, it is certain that the Sun family will decline. She, her son, and everyone in the house had only one way to starve to death.

Sun Dan's words just now have been made very clear. Sun Dan is not only willing to take on the livelihood of everyone in the Sun family, but also shoulders the heavy responsibility of reviving the Sun family and restoring the fame and position of his son and everyone in the house. This is also the only chance for the Sun family to turn over.

Mrs. Liu was originally Liu Daxia's daughter and Sun Henian's wife, and she didn't know how much higher her knowledge was than ordinary women. In the past, when her father had an accident, he also experienced the rise and fall of honor and disgrace, and knew that if she wanted to survive, she really had to find a big backer.

Moreover, Sun Dan is sincere and a child of the Sun family. His willingness to come to the rescue is a righteous act.

As soon as she remembered that she had treated Sun Dan like that before, but Sun Dan had helped her regardless of her previous suspicions, Mrs. Liu suddenly felt a little guilty in her heart.

Hearing the uproar of the crowd, Mrs. Liu shouted: "It's all quiet, Brother Tan is our grandson's family." The old man had an accident this time, and the fault was on the master, how could it be blamed on Brother Dan. If someone talks a lot below, they will be driven out of Sun's house directly. ”

After speaking, she stood up and saluted Sun Dan with her son Sun Yue: "I've seen Master Tan." ”

Sun Dan hurriedly helped them up: "Madame, brother-in-law, please come up, they are all from their own family, so I won't say anything superfluous." ”

With Mrs. Liu taking the lead, everyone stepped forward to salute, which can be regarded as recognizing Sun Dan as a family member.

There are either elders or peers here, and many of them are Sun Dan's friends. Sun Dan politely returned the salute one by one.

Others are okay, such as Sun Hao, Sun Jia, Jiang Ruoying and other Sun Dan's former friends, when they stepped forward to greet the ceremony, there was another meaning in their eyes, which made Sun Dan feel a lot of emotion in his heart, and only said to everyone: "Don't worry about everyone's life problems, if there is anything to find Zhiniang and Tinglan." ”

Tinglan was even more proud, when she remembered that she was driven to Sun Dan's side by Sun Fu, and when she thought of getting along with Sun Dan day and night, there was a trace of excitement in her heart, but more of a loss. After all, Sun Dan is just a small talent, how can he compare with the wealth and glory of the Marquis of Huichang. But she never expected that Sun Dan would become so prominent now, and she had become a weighty person.

Zhiniang is an honest person, and most of Sun Dan's housework is in Tinglan's hands. So, the little girl put up her spirit and arranged: "Everyone has been hungry for several days, don't worry, I have booked more than a dozen tables of banquets in the drunken Chang'an Restaurant, and they will deliver the food later." The weather has cooled down, and it's time to buy new clothes. Our Sun family is not short of fabrics, and we have also hired a tailor, and when everyone is settled, we will come over to tailor it for you. By the way, this place is too crowded to live in. Mr. Tan has already set up a house in Liulichang, but he will have to wait a few years to live in it. Now, Mr. Tan borrowed a yard from Boss Shi in Shanxi, and the place is also spacious, so everyone can live there temporarily. Don't worry, if you talk about something, it's all your own family. I can't write two Sun characters in one stroke......"

Sun Dan didn't bother to take care of housework, so he sat in front of the spirit and talked to the two ladies, as well as Sun Jia and Sun Hao.

Sun Dan said: "After the undergraduate Shuntianfu Township Examination, I should be able to lift people." A few days ago, I asked for a holy decree and was going to go to Shuncheonfu to find a county to be the magistrate. Brother Yue and Brother Hao might as well come to me to be a staff member and help me as a brother. First, you can also mix a position, and secondly, you can study hard, and you can participate in the imperial examination after the three-year filial piety period expires. With Brother Yue's talent, there should be no problem in the future. As for Brother Hao, it is impossible to read. I will find an opportunity to talk to Your Majesty and see if I can find a good position in the capital in the future. ”

Several people took a breath of cold air, you know, even if Sun Dan has a reputation for raising people, he will not go to the local government to be a county official at most. If you want to be a magistrate, according to the system, you should at least be born in the same jinshi, so that you can be said to be an official of the imperial court. Unexpectedly, Sun Dan can book a county magistrate without even having a fame now, which shows the depth of the honor he has received from the Son of Heaven.

Sun Hao was originally Sun Dan's friend, and his father's death had nothing to do with Sun Dan. To tell the truth, he hated his second uncle Sun Henian a little, if it weren't for the second uncle's greed for profit and cheating in the science field, his father would not have been implicated. Busy said: "I want to keep filial piety at home for three years, but I'm afraid I can't go with Brother Tan." ”

Sun Dan: "Shou Xiao for three years only said that he couldn't take the imperial examination in these three years, and he couldn't be an official, so what does it matter if you go to me to hang your name and receive a salary." ”

Sun Hao thought for a while: "But too, then I'll go." ”

Sun Yue: "I'm still not going, I'm going to stay at home with my mother." ”

Sun Dan: "Okay, if you don't want to go down, just study quietly at home." ”

As he spoke, he called Zhi Niang over and handed over a stack of silver tickets: "You have been tired in the past few days, bury Song Nian Gong and Crane Nian Gong well, and you must be decent." ”

The two ladies were even more grateful.

Sun Dan looked around, suddenly felt a little strange, and asked hesitantly: "It is said that this mourning hall has also been set up for several days, why don't you see anyone come to mourn, and also, why were you copied like water rushing through your house?" Sun Jia, don't you still have some money, why don't you take it out and buy something to eat. ”

Sun Jia said angrily: "After the house was copied, we still have some soft hidden on our bodies, and it is said that we can survive." But that Huang Jin took the people from Dongchang to copy it again, and scraped the money ticket on our body, saying that he was deceived by you when he was in Beiya, and now he wants to find it back on the head of the Sun family.

Mrs. Liu also said: "As for no one coming to mourn, it is understandable, people go to tea and cool." In the Year of the Crane, they may have had a little affection when they were in power, but now something happened to them. Yang Shoufu blamed the fraud in the New Year's field and ruined the reputation of Yang Men. The officials knew the intentions of Lord Shoufu, but they didn't dare to come. ”

Speaking of this, the Sun family all bowed their heads and wept, their expressions were ashamed and angry.

Sun Dan snorted: "These bureaucrats are still hypocrites, but don't be sad, madam, the Crane Year Gong and the Song Year Gong have been dead for many days, find an auspicious day to put into the ground." This face, our Sun family will get it back sooner or later. ”

He hesitated in his heart whether he should write a few posts to invite a few guests over, after thinking about it, he felt bored, the twisted melon was not sweet, and it was not difficult to invite a few court officials to come over with his Sun Dan's face, but was it so meaningful?

At this time, a family member ran in excitedly: "Master Dan, Master Dan, there is a distinguished guest here." ”

Before Sun Dan could speak, Ting Lan scolded: "What are you flustered about, you also lack discipline on weekdays, who is coming?" ”

The family hurriedly replied: "If Mrs. Ru said that Lord Yin Luo of Shuntian Mansion asked to see him, saying that he was here to mourn the Crane Niangong." ”

Everyone was taken aback, Shuntianfu is the highest official of government affairs and public security in the capital, and it is the fourth grade, and you can directly go to the palace to face the king. Moreover, Suncheonfu is also qualified to undertake complaints from all over the country, which is equivalent to a small criminal department.

The Shuncheon Prefecture is in charge of Beijing's public security and government affairs, and also unites the six ministries and the cabinet. In other words, if the official sitting on the seat of Yin in the Shuntian Mansion is willing, he has the ability to pass the emperor's decision, influence, change, and even comprehensively **** many yamen. With the power of one position, it is not considered to be overstepping its authority to be able to "meddle" in the affairs of many central departments at the same time.

Shuntian Mansion is so important, as the governor of Shuntian Mansion, Lord Luo is also a hot magnate in the dynasty, ordinary people can't invite it, but now he comes to mourn Sun Henian. With Sun Henian's face before his death, please don't move such a god.

Therefore, when they heard that Lord Luo came over in person, everyone knew that they were looking at Sun Dan's face.

As a result, there was a trace of awe in the eyes of the Sun family when they looked at Sun Dan. This is not the end, before Sun Dan went out to greet him, another family member came to report: "Master Dan, Yang Shen, a bachelor of Hanlin Academy, came to mourn the Crane Niangong." ”

Then another person came to report: "Master Dan, Master Shangshu Qiao of the Ministry came to condole." ”

"Master Dan, Lord Lu Bing of the Northern Ya came to mourn the Crane Niangong."

……

Everyone in the hall looked at each other, and their hearts were shocked, these people were all heavyweights in the real power of the dynasty, representing different political forces, and these people came over at the same time. Even the most stupid people know that these people are not just to mourn the two deceased of the Sun family, but to Sun Dan.

However, this situation also made the Sun family raise their eyebrows for a while. Thinking of the bleak and scattered doors of the past few days, and now there are so many guests who suddenly come to mourn, everyone feels very relieved.

People live with a face, and a few days ago, when the Sun family was at a funeral, they also sent out a lot of posts, but those colleagues and classmates before Sun Henian and Sun Songnian seemed to be afraid of sticking to the Sun family's bad luck, so many days have passed, and no one has come to the door.

With this handful, the Sun family finally earned back the lost face.

Sun Dan instructed: "Open the middle door and follow me to greet all the adults." ”

Out of the temple gate, Sun Dan was taken aback, there were many people outside, and the carriage and horse sedan chair had already crowded a street. Yang Shen, Qiao Yu, and Lord Yin Luo of Shuntian Mansion were already waiting there.

Sun Dan hurriedly bowed his hand: "Sun Dan has seen all the adults. ”

"No need to be polite." Qiao Yu has been locked up with Sun Dan for more than half a month, and the relationship is very close, "I am waiting to come today, firstly, to mourn Sun Henian, and secondly, today is the day of the list, we are ready to wait for Sun Dan here, your good news." ”

Sun Dan knew in his heart that this was not the reason why these people came here, and it was estimated that they had other things to say, and said, "Adults, please come in." ”
