From a freeloader to a world leader

Zhang Yuliang's family is one of the local giants in Yanghua County, entrenched in Quanshan Town.

It is very close from my third sister Sun Yuexiang’s home to Quanshan Town, only less than three or four miles away.

This time, Sun Shan and Sun Bing took the village's ox cart and arrived in a short while.

Sun Shan looked up and saw the Zhang family's courtyard, which was extremely large and covered with blue bricks and gray tiles.

I sighed in my heart: Fuck, this is what rich people are like, this is life!

"Shan Ge'er, I won't go in. Can I wait for you outside?"

Sun Bing shrank his hand with a sense of inferiority. The people he usually interacted with were all rough guys who were good at fighting and killing. The highest-level person he had ever come into contact with was just the housekeeper of the Zhang family.

He both looked down upon and envied local powerful families like the Zhang family, and wished he could replace them.

"hehe-----"

Sun Shan calmed down, laughed cheerfully, and waved his hand nonchalantly: "Let's go in together, Sixth Brother. Our family will not be inferior to theirs in the future. Just treat it as a visit and study."

When Sun Bing heard what Sun Shan said, he was furious!

When I think about it, if it is really as Sun Shan said, my house will be so big and luxurious in the future, then I will become a big master.

In fact, Sun Shan said this to Sun Bing on purpose.

He knew that both his eldest uncle's and his second uncle's families were eyeing him, hoping to use him to get rich.

However, now I have nothing except the title of scholar.

Even, I couldn't afford to have white rice.

So, he has to draw the pie first.

Not only for Sun Bing, but also for his uncles and second uncles, and for the entire Sun family, he had to draw a big and round picture to make everyone in the Sun family revolve around him.

When Zhang Yuliang heard the housekeeper announce that his classmate Sun Shan had come, he hurried to the tea room at the entrance of the courtyard.

"Ha ha ha ha-----"

Zhang Yuliang laughed happily from a distance: "Sun Shan, are you okay? I was so worried about you. I asked the housekeeper to go to your house to check on you a few days ago, and he said you were still asleep."

"I woke up in the evening the day before yesterday. I heard from my mother that I was sorry that I didn't get to drink your celebratory wine this time."

"It's okay, it's okay, as long as you are okay. It's just a drink. When you and I pass the imperial examinations in the future, we can have another drink."

Zhang Yuliang and Sun Shan have been classmates for five or six years. Zhang Yuliang is two years older than Sun Shan. They have a very good relationship. Except for the holidays in the college, the two of them are basically together 24 hours a day.

The reason for their good relationship is that Sun Shan is one of the few hidden players secretly cultivated by the Zhang family.

In this era, wealthy families either devoted themselves to educating their own family members, or found one or two smart but poor students from the countryside to use as hidden players.

So that in the future, if they succeed in their studies, they can act as their protectors.

They would even marry their daughters to them to form a community with common interests.

"Okay, then it's settled. When you and I both pass the imperial examination, we'll have a good drink together."

As he spoke, Sun Shan punched Zhang Yuliang in the chest as he quickly approached him.

This made Zhang Yuliang, who had walked in front of Sun Shan and felt that he was a little different, come to his senses.

This familiar action, still familiar taste.

He rubbed his aching chest and said, "Sun Shan, how have you changed? You are much stronger now. Before, you------"

Sun Shan quickly interrupted Zhang Yuliang to stop him from saying anything.

You know, he and Zhang Yuliang have been together much longer than anyone else in the family.

"Haha, I'm already a scholar, and I'm about to get married. Can I still be the same as before?"

Then, without waiting for Zhang Yuliang to refute, he excitedly recounted how he had taken the initiative to visit his third sister's mother-in-law and taught her a lesson.

This immediately made Zhang Yuliang forget some subtle changes in Sun Shan's demeanor during this meeting.

"Sure, Sun Shan!"

Zhang Yuliang punched Sun Shan hard in the chest: "You should have done this a long time ago. How can you pretend you didn't see your sister being bullied?"

Sun Shan's handsome face brightened when he heard this: "I was ignorant before, but now that I have passed the exam and got sick, I have understood a lot of things. I will not be like this again in the future."

"That's right----"

Zhang Yuliang responded with a smile, and suddenly remembered what Sun Shan had said before about asking for a wife, and couldn't help feeling a little strange.

Because Sun Shan, who often came to visit his family, was quite interested in his younger sister Zhijing after seeing her.

But, I feel that he is cowardly and can’t talk, so I don’t like him very much.

Zhang Yuliang then asked back: "Sun Shan, did you go on a blind date? How come I didn't know? I haven't heard you mention it before."

"No, no----"

Sun Shan, who had lived two lives but never married, waved his hands left and right and said, "It's my mother. You know, she pushes me every day."

"hey-hey."

Zhang Yuliang raised his eyebrow. He had just got married this year and was already enjoying the pleasure of love. He teased in a naughty way: "Sun Shan, you are sixteen years old this year, you are an adult, that thing is wonderful, do you want your brother to take you-----"

Just as he was about to say the rest, a clear and tender voice sounded from behind him: "Brother! What are you talking about?"

"Nothing, nothing, I was just joking with Sun Shan."

Zhang Yuliang knew without looking that it was his precious sister who had come.

He turned around and saw his sister Zhang Zhijing, her almond-shaped eyes wide open, glaring at him with some uncontrollable anger.

At the same time, his round almond-shaped eyes looked at Sun Shan, who had passed the examination, with curiosity, and seemed somewhat surprised at Sun Shan's change.

He asked curiously, "Sister, why are you here?"

"Why can't I come? My mother said your classmate is here and asked me to bring some tea."

As she spoke, Zhang Zhijing gracefully and generously motioned to Yu'er, her personal maid behind her, to bring the tea on the tray over.

She called out sweetly, "Brother Sun Shan, you and this Brother Sun, please have some tea."

"Thank you, thank you Sister Zhijing, you are so polite."

Sun Shan had been observing Zhang Zhijing who suddenly appeared. He was curious about the way she looked at him and couldn't help but look at her.

She was wearing a white jasmine gauze, a long white floor-length skirt with plum blossom pattern, and a soft gauze tying her body. She looked really rosy, tender and delicious.

She's not particularly beautiful, but in this area, she's definitely a hot commodity because of her looks and background.

As a time traveler, his mind is naturally not as simple as that of the ignorant sixteen-year-old scholar Sun Shan.

It’s good to have more friends. The paths you take will become wider and it’s not unacceptable to me to be attracted by male beauty.

After thinking about it, his eyebrows couldn't help but raise.

He has come to Zhang's house no less than ten times.

I have met Zhang Yuliang's sister three or four times. In the past, she seemed to be indifferent to her original self, Sun Shan.

But today, there seemed to be some affection between her brows.

Could it be that she passed the exam and became a scholar? She was a little excited.

Otherwise, as a lady from the Zhang family, it would be impossible for her to deliver the tea personally.

In fact, this is all because of what Sun Shan said the day before yesterday evening: I want to be alone.

Then, the second wife of the Zhang family, who was married to Baisha Village yesterday, came to Zhang Yuliang's house anxiously to inform him that Sun Shan had passed the examination and became a scholar. After waking up, I wanted to be quiet.

I couldn't help but ask the Zhang family privately whether Mr. Sun and Zhijing, my cousin's daughter, were in love with each other.

If Sun Shan had not passed the imperial examination and became a scholar, no matter how handsome he was, the Zhang family and Zhang Zhijing would not have paid any attention to him. At most, they would have given him some money to support his studies.

But at the age of sixteen, Sun Shan had already passed the examination and became a scholar, so his future was bright!

What's more, Sun Shan was an extremely talented boy with a handsome face and features, like a handsome scholar who walked out of a painting.

"It's okay, Brother Sun Shan, drink slowly. I'm going back to the backyard now."

Zhang Zhijing saw Sun Shan staring at her with sharp eyes, and her fair face immediately turned red. She realized that the purpose of her coming out was achieved, so she hurriedly retreated to the backyard with her maid.

This scene made Zhang Yuliang and Sun Bing, who were watching, have their own thoughts.

Zhang Yuliang looked at the handsome Sun Shan and felt inexplicably annoyed: "Sun Shan, what did you mean just now?"

"what happened to me?"

Sun Shan shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands: "I am here to deliver a letter to you. My clan will hold a celebration party for me on May 1st, and I want you to come and show your support."

"You're holding a banquet on the first day of the new year? Is your clan holding one for you?"

Zhang Yuliang knew Sun Shan's family situation better than anyone else. He knew that Sun Shan's family had no money at all.

Over the past five or six years, I have borrowed a lot of money from my family. Adding the cost of the last college entrance examination and the cost of the medicine for this illness, I'm afraid it's over ten taels.

That's why he wanted to find a job for Sun Shan to help him deal with the current difficulties.

But I didn't expect that when my sister came out just now, there was a look between their eyebrows.

Surprisingly, there is a sense of communication.

"Well, the clan organized it. You must come then. I told you that after the wine, I will go to work in your restaurant."

"Work is fine, we're just following each other, that's all----"

Having said that, Zhang Yuliang stopped talking. He secretly hated his sister for her behavior just now.

When I think of my beautiful sister, who I held in my arms and grew up with, she is like a delicate blooming flower, exchanging glances with the guy in front of me.

I was so angry.

However, think about this guy's academic status, the fact that he is only sixteen years old, and his appearance is quite pleasing to the eye.

Well, let’s leave it like this for now.

Among these people, Sun Bing, who has the richest and most complicated life experience, has never seen how the young men and women flirt with each other.

But between men and women, the truth and principles are the same.

Does a wealthy family like the Zhang family need a young lady to serve tea and water?

Do you need to express your feelings with your eyes, blushing as if you want to hide your feelings but cannot, and express your deep love?

Thinking of this, Sun Bing exclaimed: Oh my god: It seems like my cousin is going to climb up the social ladder!
