From a freeloader to a world leader

On the morning of the second day, after exercising for a while and eating the hard-to-swallow wild vegetable dumplings, Sun Shan walked out.

The third sister, Sun Yuexiang, married a butcher named Zhang, who lived in the village next to the next village, about ten miles away from Baisha Village.

Sun Chen looked at her son, who was wearing the blue scholar's robe specially issued by the county government, with his dark braid swinging, and disappeared in the corner of his uncle's house like a breeze.

He wiped his eyes happily.

"Shan'er, where are you going?"

After eating, he was planning to go to the county town to look for connections to see if he could transfer the tax exemption quota under Sun Shan’s name to Sun Bing under his own household.

When he looked up, he saw Sun Shan, wearing a brand new blue scholar's robe, standing towards him.

I couldn't help but ask, and secretly muttered in my heart: "This boy is really handsome, with delicate features like a girl. At first glance, he is different from those people who dig for food in the soil in the village!"

That's not true. Sun Shan, who had been studying since he was young, had hardly ever done farm work.

Being immersed in the ink of books over the years, he has become elegant and refined with the knowledge he has gained.

"Good morning, Sixth Brother. I'm going to visit Third Sister's house and talk to her husband about something. I'll also invite them over for a drink."

"what?"

Sun Bing cried out in surprise, his eyes wide open, looking at Sun Shan in disbelief. Although his arms and legs were not thin, they were much thinner than his brother-in-law, a butcher.

"You went to your third sister's house to discuss something with your third brother-in-law? Was it about your sister's matter?"

"Yes."

Sun Shan pretended to be regretful and nodded, then he shouted angrily: "Does he think that there is no one in my Sun family? I, Sun Shan, was ignorant before, but today I will teach Butcher Zhang a lesson!"

After breakfast, Sun Changping, who was planning to discuss something with his second son Sun Daping, heard the noise at the door, especially the scream of his third son, and rushed out.

He hurriedly asked, "Old Third, what did you just say? Whose third brother-in-law?"

"Shang'er's third brother-in-law."

Sun Bing turned his head to look at his father who had rushed behind him, and his family members who continued to walk out of the door. He pointed at Sun Shan, who had a calm face, in great surprise: "Dad, Shan said he wants to go to his third sister to talk to his third brother-in-law!"

At this point, Sun Changping also screamed, staring at Sun Shan with eyes wide open: "Really? Brother Shan, are you really going to look for your third sister? And your brother-in-law-----"

"Really, uncle."

Sun Shan nodded affirmatively, and shook off the loose blue scholar's robe on his body: "What's the matter, uncle? I am also a scholar. Am I afraid of failure?"

These words made the dozen or so people in my uncle's family who had rushed to the door to watch the fun all stare in amazement.

He has a handsome face, wears a blue scholar's robe, and has a slightly unruly and disdainful look about him.

This made Sun Changping's family feel that Sun Shan, who had passed the imperial examination and became a scholar, was completely different.

Now, within the area of ​​hundreds of miles in Huayang County, they have the qualifications to challenge anyone.

According to the custom of those who passed the examination for the title of scholar, in addition to being exempt from taxes and levies, they could meet officials without kneeling, could not be tortured, and had the right to meet with the county magistrate to express their opinions.

Ordinary people, let alone meeting the county magistrate, even meeting the village head felt like they were meeting a high-ranking official.

"Haha, don't be afraid, my Shan'er is really promising now!"

Sun Changping looked around at Sun Shan's outstanding appearance, smiled awkwardly, and praised excitedly: "Brother Shan, with your appearance, let alone your third brother-in-law, you are qualified to speak even if you meet the county magistrate!"

As he spoke, he winked at his son Sun Bing and continued, "Shan'er, let your sixth brother accompany you. After all, you are a gentleman, and it would be more appropriate for your sixth brother to do some things. What do you think?"

As he spoke, Sun Changping winked at his youngest son who was standing next to Sun Shan.

Signal him to come forward and try his best to get the matter settled.

"Okay, that's fine."

Sun Shan thought for a moment, nodded, and said to Sun Bing with a smile: "Thank you, Sixth Brother. Please accompany me for a while."

"Hahahaha-----no problem, I'll walk around with Shan Ge'er today. I should have gone a long time ago. If I don't deal with Zhang Tiedan, people will really think that there is no one left in our Sun family!"

Sun Bing laughed heartily, raised his hand, and intended to hug Sun Shan, who was a lot smaller than him.

Suddenly, I felt something was wrong again.

Of course not. He is a scholar, what am I?

This feeling made Sun Bing, who had dominated the area around Baisha Village for many years, feel a little angry.

Sun Shan seemed not to notice the embarrassment of Sun Bing's reaching out and stopping. He jokingly bowed to his uncle's family, chatted with them for a few words, and then, smilingly, invited Sun Bing to go with him.

Sun Changping stared blankly at the backs of Sun Shan and his son as they disappeared at the end of the village road.

The youngest son, who always loved to show off, was walking obediently beside Sun Shan, and it seemed that he was a little restrained.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: This scholar is just different. If I had gritted my teeth and let the third child study for a few more years!

"Old man, what's wrong with Shan'er today?"

Seeing her husband dumbfounded and motionless, Sun Changping's wife couldn't help but pull the old man's arm and said, "He's like a completely different person. Before, he couldn't even fart when you hit him with a stick, but now he dares to go find his pig-killing brother-in-law. It's really------"

Before she could finish her muttering, Sun Changping, who had come to his senses, immediately interrupted the old woman: "Stop muttering here, Shan'er is a scholar now, of course he is different from before, from now on you should keep your mouth shut and be nicer to his mother and Yadan!"

As he spoke, he looked at the faces of the family members who stretched their necks very seriously: "Did you understand? Only when Shan'er has a promising future can we live a good life. If any of you want to oppose me, I will punish you."

"I know, grandpa, we all understand this." Little Wang from the third family rushed ahead of her two sisters-in-law and said with a smile: "Brother Bing told me last night that Brother Shan is the hope of our family. Only when Brother Shan does well can we follow him and live a good life."

"hehe-----"

Sun Changping touched the gray beard on his chin with satisfaction and smiled beautifully: "The third brother is still sensible and worthy of being a person in the public eye. If Shan Ge'er becomes an official in the future, he will have to be supported by his family. Everyone should look at the long-term-----"

Hearing this, Sun Changping's wife, Da Wang, happily pulled her husband's hand and said, "Old man, do you think Shan Ge'er can become an official? Then won't our family also have officials in the future-----"

Da Wang couldn't find the right words to express what she meant for a moment.

But everyone understood.

That is, if Sun Shan became an official, and since he had no father, wouldn't the status of my uncle, if rounded off, be equivalent to that of his father?

Then wouldn't it be natural for my family to help him manage his future property and assets?

"Haha, that's about right. Although Shan Ge'er's results this time are not very ideal, he is still young. Maybe he can't reach the position of Gaozu, but it shouldn't be too difficult for him to pass the imperial examinations in the future."

"God!"

Little Wang screamed so loudly that her voice became hoarse. She quickly covered her mouth with her hands and stared at the end where Sun Shan and her husband disappeared. "That Shan will at least be a county magistrate in the future. I'm not going to be the county magistrate's sister-in-law!"

These words were like a huge thunder, which made Sun Changping and his family stagger at the gate.
