Chapter 11: Conquering the butcher's brother-in-law
On the first day of the fifth lunar month, the entire Baisha Village was boiling.
The population of Baisha Village has a total of 826 people, of which the surname Sun accounts for 60% or 70%, and the remaining Zhang Wang and other small surnames are basically related to the Sun family.
Therefore, under the vigorous promotion of the patriarch Sun Bohe, the whole village hosted Sun Shan's talent celebration banquet with great enthusiasm.
Under normal circumstances, the number of scholars in Baisha Village remains at about ten all year round, but for decades, very few have achieved fame.
The last time I was admitted to the children's birthday celebration banquet was ten years ago.
As for the celebration banquet of Xiucai, most people have never seen it in their lives.
Since the morning, there have been all kinds of relatives and friends one after another, who began to enter Baisha, carrying all kinds of gifts, and came to celebrate Sun Shan's admission to Xiucai.
"Show Caigong! Xiucaigong, your third sister is here----"
I saw that several children outside the door were shouting and screaming.
Then, after a while, Zhang Tiedan, the butcher brother-in-law of Sun Shan, who was as strong as an ox and had a fat waist and round arms, carried a large load of gifts wrapped in red paper, followed behind Sun Yuexiang, who was striding and holding his son, lowered his head, and stepped into the courtyard of Sun Shan's house, which was cleaned up.
Sun Shan, who was talking to two classmates who arrived early but did not get admitted this time, slowly turned around.
Eyes and raised his head, looking at his own Zhang Tiedan, touched it.
Zhang Tiedan only felt that a cold gaze, like a poisonous snake devouring people, looked down at him with extreme coldness.
This frightened Zhang Tiedan into a cold sweat, stumbled, and almost fell.
A few days ago, after he came home from selling meat, he heard from his mother that the brother-in-law and cousin of the Sun family came to the door.
Not only did he warn his mother and himself in his words, but he also smashed it in the yard.
This made him, who has always been known for his physical strength and bravery, very angry, and wanted to beat his wife on the spot to vent his anger.
However, her mother, who has always supported her, held her hand as if she was blindfolded and did not let herself do it.
also repeatedly analyzed the current situation of the two families.
He wasn't so afraid of Sun Shan, who was just a talent, but a cowardly poor scholar who had no power to tie the chicken and still owed a lot of debt.
Last time, if it weren't for my own stupid mother-in-law, I secretly stuffed my mother with a silver tael, but I was afraid that the travel expenses to Shonan Mansion would not be enough.
If, just borrow some money.
Usually the wife gives her mother's family a little subsidy, it's not impossible, but the bad thing is that this kid has a bad head when he reads, and since her sister married into the Zhang family, it has been rare to go to the door once in five or six years.
Moreover, every time I see myself in the town, I look like an unattainable scholar.
I hated it, I thought that in the countryside, I could make some money Zhang Tiedan, and his teeth were itchy.
In fact, he was more afraid of his wife's cousin Sun Bing, afraid that he would find someone to fight him.
Sun Bing is not a reasonable person, with his flexible skills and unstinting temper, he can be regarded as a character on the road in Quanshan Town.
"Third sister, you're here, you're here early."
Sun Shan and his two classmates confessed, and walked towards the third sister Sun Yuexiang with a smile.
"Brother Shan, my sister's house is close, so I came over early to help, have they arrived?" Sun Yuexiang saw that her younger brother had never greeted her so kindly, and she couldn't help but put down a heart that was hanging high.
Immediately became bolder, and glanced back, the butcher husband Tie Dan, who was twice as thick as himself: "Boss, why are you still stunned, my younger brother was admitted to Xiucai, and you still don't say a few good words." ”
In fact, Sun Yuexiang was afraid that her younger brother and her husband would stand up to each other, so she wanted her husband to be soft first.
In this way, both himself and his younger brother Xiucai have face.
In the past few days, she has repeatedly analyzed her brother's future development prospects to her husband and in-laws, and the whole family was shocked and exclaimed.
This makes her happy at home these days, her mother-in-law follows her in everything, and her husband doesn't dare to lose his temper.
"Brother Shan, congratulations, congratulations, congratulations on your great achievements, step by step, and you will be admitted to the Jinshi in the year after tomorrow!"
Zhang Tiedan carried a heavy load of gifts, stumbling and reciting a congratulatory blessing message, sweating all over his face.
"Thank you, thank you for the blessings of the third sister and the third brother-in-law, you go inside to find your mother, I have to greet the guests here, I am all from my family, so I will not accompany you."
"You're busy, you're busy, I know the place myself----"
When Zhang Tiedan heard his brother-in-law say this, he seemed to have unloaded a thousand catties of burden, and in a panic he picked up the burden, and walked straight to the side room with the familiarity, and shouted in his mouth: "Mother!" Mother! Tie Dan is here to celebrate the success of Xiucai's brother. ”
This scene made Sun Yuexiang exhale fiercely, and her eyes touched her younger brother Sun Shan.
Immediately, the eye circles were crimson.
"Sister-----" Sun Shan pulled his sister's hand sadly: "Sister, be happy, you will have a good life in the future, our Sun family is up." ”
"Uh-huh-----"
Sun Yuexiang nodded fiercely, wiped her eyes, and slapped her younger brother who was six or seven years younger than herself with tears and a smile: "Brother Shan, you have really grown up, my sister is really happy for you and your mother, our Sun family has worked hard, and in the future, the girls of our Sun family will not be afraid of being bullied." ”
"Hahahaha---"
Sun Shan first laughed proudly twice, and then as if announcing something, he said loudly: "Sister, in the future, your younger brother will at least have to take the exam, then you will be the sister of the lifter, and it will be a good thing that you don't bully others." ”
Saying this, Sun Yuexiang and her eldest sister Sun Tianxiang and younger sister Sun Yuxiang, who cared about the sisters and brothers, smiled like flowers, as if overnight, their own talented younger brother was admitted to the juren.
Lifting people is not like showing off talents.
Lifting people is not only the ability to absorb money in wealth, but also increases in geometric multiples, and social status is not the same.
As long as you are admitted to the exam, even if you are not admitted to the Jinshi, you can still be an official.
Although it is said that you can't soar like Jinshi, you can start directly from the county order, but it is also very normal to go through the relationship and seek a county of eight or nine grades.
Even, it is possible to start from the county of the eighth grade and climb to the top of the third and fourth grades.
Even if it is a county, in the eyes of ordinary people, it is already a mountain.
This scene in the courtyard of the Sun family made countless villagers who came and went to help Sun Shan's celebration banquet in their eyes and hearts.
Thinking of the scene after Sun Shan is developed in the future, all of them are quick and energetic.
