The Daily Life of a Rich Peasant's Boy in the Imperial Examination

Sun Shan had made up his mind that if Uncle Chen went to Chenzhou Prefecture, he would definitely bring Uncle Sun back to Sunjia Village.

It's one thing to do nothing all day, but the most important thing is to teach children bad habits.

Xiaoxiao and Xiaoheimei are around him every day, and Sun Shan is afraid that the two little girls will become Sun Sanshu No. 2 and Sun Sanshu No. 3.

Of course, Uncle Sun was unwilling to return to Sun Family Village, and kept pestering Sun Shan to talk about this and that.

The goal was to follow Sun Shan and make a fortune.

Returning to Sunjia Village in such a dejected manner would be incredibly embarrassing.

Sun Shan was too lazy to say another word to his third uncle, because no matter how much he talked, he wouldn't listen.

The only way to deal with Uncle Sun is through violence.

With a wave of his hand, Sun Dali led Sun Caogen and Sun Heitan forward.

Sun Shan coldly issued the order: "Lock Uncle San in his room and make him reflect on his actions. Dinner will be sent directly to him."

Uncle Sun, who still wanted to keep nagging: .....

Rebellion against Heaven! The nephew actually imprisons his uncle?!

This...this is incredibly disrespectful! What happened to respecting one's elders?

Shanzi, you are a well-read and learned official, how could you do such a disobedient thing?

Without saying a word, Sun Dali waved his hand, and soon Sun Caogen and Sun Heitan stepped forward to tightly restrain Uncle Sun.

He added casually, "Third Master, I apologize for the inconvenience!"

So Uncle Sun was dragged back to his room.

In his death throes, Uncle Sun shouted, "Shanzi, Uncle isn't going back to his room! Uncle is going out! You can't treat Uncle like this..."

Helpless, Sun Shan left without looking back.

Uncle Sun called for help, shouting, "Big brother, big brother, where are you? Come quickly and save our third brother! Big brother, big brother, your beloved third brother is in terrible trouble, he's been locked in a dark room..."

Sun Dali frowned. If it weren't for the fact that he was mindful of the Third Master's status...

They had already stuffed stinky socks into Uncle Sun's mouth long ago.

Sun Shan walked into the dining room with a smile. Little Black Girl, Little Fatty Girl, and Hu Ming, three little kids, were squatting around the table.

When Hu Ming met Sun Shan, he bowed and greeted him, saying, "Your son greets your godfather."

Then he asked, "Godfather, are you tired today? Shall I rub your bones for you?"

Compared to the chubby girl who only cares about food, his tiger-like roar is so outstanding, no wonder Sister Yun likes him so much.

Sun Shan said happily, "Okay, Hu Ming will help my godfather rub his bones."

Hu Ming's eyes sparkled, he nodded, and said with a smile, "Godfather, Hu Ming is coming."

Soon, Sister Yun had prepared the meal.

Sun Bomin asked in confusion, "Shanzi, where is your third uncle?"

Sun Shan picked up a mouthful of rice and said, "Third Uncle has gone back inside to eat."

Su asked in confusion, "Why did you suddenly go back to your room to eat?"

How could a lively, outgoing, and gossipy man like Uncle Sun be eating alone in his room?

Did you eat it all by yourself?

Sun Shan, without batting an eye, said, "I don't know either."

Then she added, "Father, Mother, don't ask. Everyone has secrets they can't tell. Uncle prefers to eat in his room. If he doesn't want to talk about it, let's not pry. Otherwise, we'll embarrass him."

This made Sun Bomin and Su Shi even more confused.

But Sun Shan is right, everyone has secrets.

Besides, Uncle Sun is a grown man, not a little kid. It doesn't matter where he eats.

So Sun Bomin and Su Shi stopped paying attention.

After dinner, it was time for the family to gather together and gossip.

At first, the intelligence chief, Granny Wang, only reported intelligence to Sun Shan, but now she reports to the whole family.

Madam Su opened her eyes wide and asked in surprise, "Granny Wang, you're saying my Shanzi is the matchmaker for Li Si and Miss Zhang? You're not mistaken, are you?"

Sun Bomin pressed on, asking, "What exactly happened?"

Turning around, he said to Sun Shan, "Shanzi, why did you suddenly become a matchmaker?"

Uncle Sun, who had secretly run away, couldn't help but interject: "Shanzi, are you stupid? How can you be a matchmaker?"

Then he asked, "Shanzi, how much money did you receive from the matchmaker?"

If a dignified county magistrate is acting as a matchmaker, then he must be paying enough money.

Hehe, Shanzi never does anything without a profit, tsk tsk~~ He's made a fortune!

When Sun Shan heard Granny Wang say that Zhang San and Li Si had become in-laws, his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

She asked in surprise, "Granny, is this true? When did this happen?"

These Zhang San and Li Si are the protagonists of the "Ding Niangzi Cloth Case".

How could they become in-laws so quickly?

Perhaps it is better to resolve enmity than to perpetuate it; former enemies become in-laws, thus erasing all enmity.

Granny Wang said earnestly, "Master, it's true, it's all true."

He then handed Sun Shan an invitation: "Master, Li Si came to me today and said he's getting married next month and would like to invite you to his wedding banquet."

Sun Shan was someone most people couldn't see, so Li Si had to approach Granny Wang at the market and ask her to deliver the invitations.

Sun Shan opened the invitation in surprise, and it really was Li Si and Miss Zhang's wedding invitation.

He asked in surprise, "How did Li Si manage to marry the Zhang family's daughter?"

Upon hearing the word "girl," Yun Jie'er looked around cautiously and asked, "Brother Shan, who is the Zhang family's girl? Do you know her?"

How did Sun Shan, a man from another region, come to know this girl who is about to get married?

Could it be that there is a hex?

Sun Shan pointed to the Ding Niangzi cloth worn by the chubby girl and explained it in detail.

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes widened even more than Sun Shan's.

Sister Yun pressed further, "Brother Shan, is this really true? How could two enemies become in-laws?"

Granny Wang then recounted the story in detail.

Not long after Li Si returned to the village, wealthy merchants Jia, Yi, and Bing came to buy Ding Niangzi's cloth from him, but the price they offered was not high, only 10 taels.

Li Si was unhappy because Lord Sun said it could be sold for at least 20 taels in Chenzhou Prefecture.

After some haggling with Li Si, the wealthy merchants A, B, and C finally settled on a price of 15 taels.

After all, there are travel and food expenses to cover the cost of selling in Chenzhou Prefecture, so selling it for 15 taels wouldn't be a loss.

After Li Si received the money, his parents immediately took it from him to prevent him from squandering it all.

Li Si was furious, but since he was in the wrong first, he had no choice but to back down.

Later, in order to make a living, he started working as a peddler, going from street to street.

Upon hearing that the "Ding Niangzi Cloth" was only 15 taels, Yun Jijie exclaimed, "Brother Shan, this cloth is cheap! Only 15 taels? That's too little!"

Then he added, "Brother Shan, it's my second grandmother's birthday. My cousin asked someone to get a bolt of cloth for her, which cost a full 50 taels, not even counting the favors. You can't always buy this kind of cloth even if you have money. Hey, why didn't Li Si get a couple more bolts? It's such a good deal."

As soon as Sister Yun finished speaking, Madam Su jumped up and pointed at the little fat girl's clothes.

She shrieked, "What? This piece of cloth costs 50 taels? Isn't that more expensive than silk?"

Looking left and right, up and down, Su's triangular eyes just couldn't see that this ordinary, very simple piece of cloth was worth so much money.

My daughter-in-law had said it was expensive, but I never imagined it would be this expensive.

In Sun's mind, being able to wear silk clothes was already an incredibly wealthy and noble thing.

I never imagined there was a fabric more expensive than silk.

Uncle Sun also jumped out, his rough old hands touching the little fat girl's clothes and clicking his tongue a few times.

He muttered to himself: No wonder everyone wants to be an official. Look, Shanzi has received generous gifts after only one year in office.

Tsk tsk~~~ Each person gives one horse, 50 taels, ten people would get 500 taels.

Wow, I'm rich! I'm rich!

Uncle Sun stared at the back of Sun Shan's head with shining eyes.

I'm absolutely certain this is the back of his head made of gold, it's extremely valuable.
