Chapter 83 Little Crisis
Thinking about it, Sun Henian should be a very powerful person. I heard that he studied Zhu Cheng Neo-Confucianism, and he is a famous teacher of Daoism.

In later generations, Mr. Confucianism is not a good term, and he is suspected of being a neighborhood committee.

In Sun Dan's view, this kind of person is communism towards others and individualistic towards himself.It is obviously selfish and selfish, but he has to pretend to be righteous.

He is not sensitive to such a person.

Fortunately, I am just a small person in the Sun Mansion, and I have nothing to do with Sun Henian, so I don't have to think about it so much.

As for Sun Hao, let him be tortured by his second uncle.

The problem is, if you don't make trouble, things will come to you.After saying goodbye to Sun Hao and returning to the house, Sun Dan washed his feet and went to bed.

At dawn the next day, just after waking up and before he had time to wash his face, a member of the Sun family came to pass a message, saying that the second master Sun Henian wanted to see Sun Dan and asked him to go over quickly.

Sun Dan was surprised that the second master of the Sun family had such a high status that there was no need to personally meet a small gardener in the mansion.However, since he is still receiving the salary of the Sun Mansion, the boss has orders, so he has no choice but to go.

Along the way, Sun Dan went through Sun Henian's information in his mind.

Sun Henian, born as a Jinshi, is a doctor in the first division of the household department, and he is the fifth rank.A disciple of Yang Tinghe, the chief assistant of the cabinet, a celebrity.

Speaking of which, this Sun Henian was not a famous person in history, and based on the information Sun Dan had at hand, he only had a few words, and he couldn't find anything useful at all.

Just as he was thinking about it, he walked to the main hall of Tongle Yuan, and as soon as he reached the door, he saw Sun Hao coming out with a flushed face.Sun Dan nodded at him and asked him what's wrong.

"What else can I do? Naturally, I will be reprimanded and said that I am not doing my job properly." Sun Hao said to Sun Dan with a look of horror: "Brother Dan, the incident happened. Second Uncle already knew about our sale of "Journey to the West". It was just a burst of scolding, telling me to study hard and don't do crooked things all day long. You have to be careful after you go in. I just heard that the second uncle asked someone to send you for questioning, and he ran out secretly under an excuse, so I wanted to give you Mind you. Let's go in together."

Hearing this, Sun Dan came to his senses. It turned out that Sun Henian was going to ask him to blame him.

The Sun family passed on the etiquette of writing to the family, but writing novels and doing business are not proper occupations.In the eyes of the Sun family's parents, writing novels and selling novels by himself is simply nonsense, and it has brought Sun Hao down.

Those who come are not good, and those who are kind do not come. It seems that today's test is not so easy.

After entering the room, I saw a middle-aged man in his forties sitting in the center of the hall.This man was tall and long-armed, with a fair face and three long beards. He looked personable, and he was a rare handsome man.It's just that this person has an old-fashioned face and looks quite majestic, not a person who is easy to get close to.

This person is probably Sun Henian, the second master of the Sun family.

Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Hong sat beside Sun Henian, while Aunt Jing stood aside respectfully and waited on her.

Many people came to pay their respects in the main hall, the young masters and ladies of each house, the servants in charge of the family, a dozen or so people crowded a hall to the brim.

Seeing Sun Dan coming in, everyone's eyes were projected at this moment, and the emotions in their eyes were also very complicated.Sun Jia couldn't help but wink at Sun Dan, signaling him to be more careful.Sun Gui was gloating, and Jiang Ruoying was still innocent, not feeling that anything was going to happen.As for Sun Yue, he looked at Sun Dan with a smile on his face, and couldn't tell what he was thinking.

Sun Dan was not very afraid, anyway, he had already made up his mind to leave the Sun family.I thought to myself, I'm just a part-time worker, and I'm not buying myself into slavery. If the boss doesn't work as the west, I'll turn my back on him later, or I'll just resign and quit. Why are you afraid of him?
Thinking of this, his heart calmed down, and he stepped forward to salute: "I have seen the second master."

"You are Sun Dan?" Sun Henian's voice sounded very rigid.

"It's Sun Dan."

"Presumptuous, you dare to answer like that when you meet the second master, kneel down!" Aunt Jing suddenly yelled at Sun Dan.When she yelled out, she probably realized that she was speaking a little louder, her face suddenly flashed with fear, and then she gave Madam Liu a flattering look.

Mrs. Liu's face was flat, and she couldn't tell whether she was happy or angry.

Sun Dan suddenly became angry when he heard Aunt Jing's words.He took a deep breath, didn't speak, didn't kneel down, just looked at Sun Henian so fixedly, just waited for a disagreement, then turned and left.

Sun Henian didn't care, he waved his hand at Sun Dan, and said calmly: "Don't kneel, I came to you today, and I want to ask you about the Sun family bookstore. Let me ask you, does this matter have anything to do with Sun Hao?"

Sun Dan said: "This matter has nothing to do with Brother Hao. It is all done by Sun Dan alone. Although Sun Dan used the Sun family's bookstore to publish the book, he should have paid a penny. This matter is also very important to the Sun family. Favorable, don't Sun Dan feel that he did something wrong?"

Hearing Sun Dan say that this matter has nothing to do with him, Sun Hao breathed a sigh of relief, and gave Sun Dan a grateful look.When Sun Henian asked him to question him earlier, he knew the seriousness of the matter and insisted that it had nothing to do with him.Just now he sneaked out of the hall to wait for Sun Dan, just to remind Sun Dan not to drag himself into it.But Sun Hao regarded himself as a hero, and when such unkind words came to his lips, he couldn't say them no matter what.

Fortunately, Sun Dan carried this matter over with his shoulders, which made Sun Hao extremely grateful.

For some reason, Sun Hao saw that Sun Henian's expression relaxed, as if relieved, which made Sun Hao very puzzled.

Sun Henian smiled coldly, and said slowly: "I've already found out about this matter. I'll ask you to see if you're telling the truth. You know how to behave, you're not stupid. But this book of yours How much is it in the eyes of my grandson family, and what is good for the family? My grandson family is not a businessman who passes on the book and etiquette to the family. Don't mention it in front of me when you are full of money. Listen to me one more time. , also dirty my ears."

Sun Dan was very disapproving, and also sneered in his heart: Your Sun Henian only has a yearly salary, and the Sun family only has a lot of land.There are more than a thousand people in the He Mansion, and their monthly salary is a huge expense.I don't believe that you, Sun Henian, have no other way to get rich. It's too hypocritical to say such things in front of me now, saying don't ask him for money.

Sun Henian said again: "I heard people say that you are also a collateral descendant of my Sun family. Originally, clan affairs were in the hands of the Grand Master. However, the Grand Master searched the genealogy for a long time and could not find the name of your ancestor. However, this It doesn't matter, check slowly, and you can always find out. Since you want to recognize your ancestors and return to your clan, and be a child of the Sun family, Marquis of Huichang, you can restrain your words and deeds according to the standards of the Sun family's children. Otherwise, the family law is ruthless."

Sun Dan was annoyed and didn't speak, just stood there with his mouth pursed.

Sun Henian: "Sun Dan, you know you are wrong about this matter. If you really realize that you are wrong, go to Sun Fu to get the family law. The clan has its own rules. I can forgive you, but the rules can't forgive you."

Sun Dan was very angry, and was about to walk away when he heard Sun Henian say: "You are also a talent among the descendants of my Sun family. After receiving the family law, make preparations, and find Sun Fu to go to the government to open a way to lead you there. Report to Sun Zhong in the capital. The mansion in the capital is being expanded, and he also needs manpower there."

Hearing what Sun Henian said, the servants of the Sun family all looked envious.It turned out that the Sun family had another mansion in the capital, which was originally a reward from the emperor during the Chenghua period. It covers an area of ​​more than [-] mu.

However, it has been more than sixty years since the Chenghua period, and the house is already dilapidated.Therefore, since the tenth year of Zhengde, the family has not only allocated funds for maintenance.But because of the huge cost, it has not been completed for so many years.

Fortunately, the Sun family received a large sum of silver recently, so the family invested 5 taels of silver in one go, hoping to complete this unfinished project before the Spring Festival.

Civil engineering has always been a fat job, and Sun Zhong, who has been in charge of the maintenance of the capital's houses these years, has become well-fed, fat, and rich.

Now, I heard that the second master Sun meant that Sun Dan should take over the project from Sun Zhong.I don't know what kind of luck this kid has had to get such a fat job. Why isn't he so envious that his mouth is watering?

Aunt Jing didn't expect things to turn out like this, she looked at Sun Dan with jealousy.

The sneer in Sun Dan's heart was even worse: this Sun Henian really treated me like a slave, first he was beaten up, and then he threw me a fat vacancy, he really wanted to play the trick of slapping a candy!It seems that Sun Henian, including everyone in the mansion, does not think that I, Sun Dan, can be a scholar and get fame.If you really go to get the family law today, the dignified scholar will suffer such insult, and his reputation will be ruined.How will you meet people and become an official in the future?
Sun Dan still had some doubts in his heart.After what happened that night, he was completely turned on by Mrs. Liu, why did Sun Henian pay him back.

After thinking about it, Sun Dan suddenly woke up.Mrs. Liu was wronged about that matter, and then she suffered some small losses, and she was ashamed and thrown home.It was naturally inconvenient to talk to her husband about this kind of thing.Besides, Sun Henian is a Mr. Morality, and he doesn't want to hear his wife talk about his parents in his ears.

And Sun Dan's recent performance is too eye-catching, and he is considered a rare talent among the descendants of the Sun family.In addition, Sun Zhong strongly recommended it in front of Sun Henian, so it is not difficult for Sun Henian to ask him to go to the capital to assist Sun Zhong in repairing the Sun Family Courtyard.

However, Sun Henian's implicit words just now made Sun Dan wary.Now, he is regarded as a collateral child attached to the Sun family, and every word and deed must be subject to the constraints of the clan's family law.The government of the Ming Dynasty managed places from the bottom up.Once something happens, let the family handle it by themselves, and if it can't be handled, it will be handed over to the government.In other words, Sun Dan has no right to leave the Sun family now, and he must do whatever the Sun family asks him to do.

This feeling of being in the hands of others is really not very good!
But no matter what, this beating cannot be endured, and this tone cannot be lost.

Thinking of this, Sun Dan raised his head and looked at Sun Henian: "Today is the day when the Gong Yuan releases the list. Sun Dan is not talented, and he is determined to win the current scholar. Just wait for a while, and there will be good news. At that time, Sun Dan will have fame If you are alive, you cannot accept this family law."

"You tricky slave, someone is here, tie him up for me!" Mrs. Liu, who had kept her face cold and silent, snorted coldly. She would definitely not let this opportunity pass by.

"No." Madam Hong called out.

Sun Henian's expression darkened, and he suddenly said, "Are you confident that you will pass the exam?"

"Sun Dan is full of confidence."

"Okay, then I'll wait." Sun Henian sneered suddenly: "You just wanted to be a scholar just a few months ago? Come on. Put your business aside and talk about it after the list is announced."

At this time, a servant rushed in: "Second Master, Second Master, Master Yang Shen is here to visit."

Sun Henian was startled, and hurriedly said: "Open the middle door, I will go to greet you personally, and you are all waiting here."

When Sun Dan heard that it was Yang Shen who came, his heart was also moved. What is he doing here?
Of course, he doesn't have to worry about this matter, it's a good thing not to be beaten.When the list is released, once I win the prize, I'll see what expressions these people have.

"Get out of the way, what are you doing here?" Aunt Jing sternly yelled at Sun Dan, "How dare you stand here?"

Sun Dan was not angry either, just smiled, walked slowly to the corner, and stood there quietly.

Sun Dan's composure stunned everyone.

Sun Gui is a son of a concubine, with a humble status in the Sun Mansion. He happened to be standing in the corner, when he saw Sun Dan approaching, he gave him a disgusted look: "Don't block me."

"Why, did Brother Dan block you? Mr. Yang Shen, you have seen it before. By the way, you have already seen it on the boat that day. It's a pity, Mr. Yang was only talking to Brother Dan at that time, and didn't even look at it. Take a look at you." Sun Hao touched it at some point, and stretched out his hand to gently poke Sun Gui's waist.

As soon as Sun Guijing reminded him, he suddenly remembered that Yang Shen had a happy conversation with Sun Dan that day, as if he admired him very much.

For a moment, Sun Gui was speechless.

Sun Hao smiled softly, and said in Sun Gui's ear; "Boy, Brother Dan and I didn't treat you badly when we went out to play with us that day. What's the matter, now you've turned your face and don't recognize anyone. Hmph, we have to grow up for you later. Remember, don't think that your father will help you grow up when he comes back. It's really troublesome, you see whether the second uncle is helping me or helping you. The second uncle only sees Sun Yue alone. When did he put you in his eyes .Xiao Guizi, you'd better hang out with me and brother Dan. If you're well-behaved, you'll benefit from it. If not, I'll see you once, beat you once, and see who makes the decision for you?"

Sun Gui was stunned, and involuntarily glanced at the proud Sun Yue in the distance, a flash of jealousy suddenly flashed in his heart.Thinking of Sun Hao and Sun Dan's methods again, I was a little afraid.He murmured to Sun Dan: "Brother Dan, I'm not targeting you."

Sun Dan said coldly: "It's okay, by the way, Sun Gui, I heard that you did well in the exam this time, and you should be a scholar."

"Maybe...maybe...you can hit it."

Sun Dan said lightly: "Once you are selected as a scholar, you will have fame. I can get along very well with your sister Sun Jia. What your sister hates most about you is cowardice. You don't have to be so wretched. If you really Once you have achieved fame, just stand upright and behave yourself, don’t be afraid.”

Sun Gui murmured: "Using fame... don't be afraid, don't be afraid, don't be afraid..."

"Yes, boy, once you become a scholar, who are you afraid of?" Sun Hao laughed and patted him.

"But... what if I fail?" Sun Gui shrank his neck.

Sun Hao was bitter: "Useless things, even if you get fame, I don't think you can accomplish anything."

As he was talking, he heard a burst of laughter from outside.

"Brother Xiu please."

"Brother Crane Year, please."

Sun Dan looked up, only to see Sun Henian walking in holding Yang Shen's hand.
