From a freeloader to a world leader

Chapter 14 Hooking up

On the second day after the Dragon Boat Festival, Sun Chen and clan leader Sun Bohe and a dozen others reluctantly sent Sun Shan to the main entrance of the village.

After repeated nagging, she looked at Sun Shan who disappeared at the end of the road carrying his package, with tears in her eyes.

Sun Shan walked to a big tree, looked back and saw a group of blurry figures in the distance behind him, feeling very emotional.

It has been almost half a month since I came to this world.

He has basically gotten used to the people and things in this world.

Especially his mother Chen, her meticulous love often made Sun Shan feel that he was still with his mother in another world.

In fact, she moved him more than his mother in another world.

He secretly swore in his heart that he must make a name for himself.

Even if not for herself, but for her mother Chen and her sisters at home, she must make a name for herself.

These days, he has privately probed himself countless times.

There is no system, no special abilities, no golden fingers, and no supernatural space.

He is almost the same as the original Sun Shan in this world, except that he has advanced consciousness and killing and fighting skills from another world.

In addition, he found that his mind was more flexible than that of his previous self and the scholar Sun Shan, and his memory and comprehension abilities were much stronger.

Perhaps, the consciousness of two souls superimposed together is always more open and sensitive than the consciousness of one person.

Maybe there are other reasons that I don’t know.

He used the Doctrine of the Mean to test his memory. With full concentration and careful reading only three or four times, he was able to remember the contents of a book of less than 3,000 to 5,000 words.

In addition, several basic human functions such as hearing, vision, smell and sixth sense have also been strengthened.

Although he is not as sharp as animals, he is still better than when he was serving in the special forces.

After watching for a while and seeing that the crowd in the distance had dispersed, Sun Shan calmed himself down and walked towards Quanshan Town with his head held high.

He made an appointment to travel with Zhang Yuliang today.

By the way, I'll go to the Zhang family to show my presence. I can use the money I earn from the wedding banquet to pay off the debt I owe to them.

Sun Shan knew that what he had to pay back was not only the money, but also the care and promotion that the Zhang family had given him.

Although the Zhang family has its own intentions and calculations, this is how the world works, and everyone uses and calculates against each other.

In this world, only interests are eternal, except for family ties.

Perhaps, the scholar Sun Shan did not quite understand these things, but how could Sun Shan, who came from a thousand years later, not understand the ways of the world?

That girl Zhang Zhijing, try to get close to me and promise to marry me.

After walking for about an hour, Sun Shan arrived at the gate of Zhang Yuliang's house. Just as he was about to knock on the doorbell to go in, a head popped out.

"Mr. Xiucai, you are here. The Second Young Master has been waiting for you for a long time."

"Really? I thought Yuliang wasn't in a hurry."

"Why aren't you in a hurry? When I came back from your house after drinking that day, I wanted to leave. If I hadn't made an appointment with you, I'm afraid I would have come to your door."

The person who went out to visit was the second steward who had accompanied Zhang Yuliang to the Sun family for the celebratory wine last time. He more or less knew what the master meant, so he was waiting at the door early this morning.

As soon as the two of them walked into the door, an anxious figure ran over, yelling, "Sun Shan, you are too slow, I am getting impatient waiting."

"Why are you in such a hurry? Good things come slowly. I came here on foot, okay?"

"Did you walk here?"

Zhang Yuliang was a little dumbfounded. For a young master like him who had been spoiled since childhood, it was naturally unlikely that he would be able to walk long distances.

However, for Sun Shan, who was once a special forces soldier, this was a piece of cake.

During special training in the army, carrying a 50-kilogram load and running kilometers are basic subjects.

Sometimes, they even sneak through water, or fight while escaping from the other party's pursuit.

"Sun Shan, you're not that thrifty, are you? Your mother didn't give you any money."

“Yes.”

Sun Shan smiled and patted the crossbody bag that his mother had specially made for him with khaki linen. "But I want to exercise myself. I feel that my body is too weak. If I want to take the provincial examination in the future, I won't be able to do it without a good body."

Zhang Yuliang pursed his lips in disdain: If you are stingy, then so be it. Why do you say it so high-soundingly-----

However, his eyes fell on the shoulder bag that Sun Shan had sewn in the style of a schoolbag, and he exclaimed in surprise: "What is this? It looks weird."

Having said that, without giving Sun Shan a chance to explain, he pulled it out from his shoulder.

He first unbuttoned the box and looked inside. He discovered that the box was divided into two or three layers with a harder cloth, which contained some small change and copper coins, as well as two brushes and books.

Then, he imitated Sun Shan and slung it across his shoulder.

He swayed his body left and right, and looked at the backpack on his waist, which he felt was very practical and good-looking. He couldn't help but ask, "Not bad, this thing is very practical, where did you get it, Sun Shan?"

"My mother made it. She said it's convenient to store things this way, and I can always carry it with me without worrying about losing it."

In fact, it was of course Sun Shan who instructed his mother to do this. He also asked his mother to slightly modify the clothes he wore according to the modern Hanfu style.

For example, the baggy cuffs were made smaller, the hem of the robe was shortened, the waist was tightened, and two secret pockets were added inside to store small items.

The scholar's robe modified in this way is more close-fitting, conforms to the human body curve, is convenient for movement, and looks better, making the figure appear slender.

However, Sun Shan did not dare to make any bold or obvious changes in order to avoid attracting extra attention from others.

Just when Zhang Yuliang pulled Sun Shan to look left and right, he felt that he was a little different.

A crisp voice came from outside the hall: "Second brother, what are you doing? Chirping."

Then, a sweet little head with a bun on her head poked in from the doorway, pretending to be surprised and calling out, "Brother Sun Shan, you're here. I was wondering what's wrong with my brother. I could hear him talking nonstop from a distance."

"Hello, Sister Jing'er. I just arrived. It's been a few days since I last saw you. You look much more beautiful now."

What Sun Shan said was true.

Zhang Zhijing knew that Sun Shan was coming today, so she dressed herself up early in the morning. With the careful help of her two maids, she stood out like a white lotus.

However, at the age of 14, her body has not fully grown yet. The parts that should be big and curvy are still a bit immature, like a delicate flower bud about to bloom.

This also makes Sun Shan, who likes plump types, not interested in it for the time being.

"Brother Sun Shan-----"

It was the first time that Zhang Zhijing was praised in person by a man outside her family. In addition, she already had a secret crush on Sun Shan, so her pretty face couldn't help but blush immediately.

She blinked her eyes and called out in a long tone: "You are talking nonsense, I am always like this."

As she said this, she asked back with a look of joy: "Brother Sun Shan, have I really become more beautiful?"

"Ok!"

Sun Shan nodded firmly, expressing his strong affirmation: "You are really much prettier. Moreover, your temperament is different from when you were a child. You are becoming more and more like a lady from a noble family. I think, let alone our Huayang County, even in the entire Xiangnan Prefecture, there is no girl more outstanding than you!"

This made Zhang Zhijing's eyes widen into slits with laughter.

Zhang Yuliang, who was standing next to him, stared blankly at his sister, who was completely confused by just a few words of nonsense from this hypocritical guy Sun Shan.

I couldn't help but feel so angry that my teeth were itching.

I really want to give this pervert a good beating.

How dare you seduce my sister in front of me, and how dare you show off your love to me, your brother-in-law.

How shameless!

"Ah! Ah, ah! Are you two done yet? Are you thinking I don't exist?"

Zhang Zhijing, who was happily chatting with her lover, heard her second brother's strange and teasing voice.

First, her face turned red, and then, she glared at Zhang Yuliang angrily: "If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb. Brother Sun Shan has come here with great difficulty, and I will say a few words. What's wrong with you?"

Zhang Yuliang was so angry at these words that he sharpened the knife in his heart and cursed in his mind: adulterer and whore, it's only been a few days since we last met, and now you have a husband but no brother, and a daughter who is married off is like spilled water!

However, Zhang Yuliang, who had treated his sister like a treasure since childhood, did not dare to argue with her.

He quickly pointed the gun at Sun Shan and said, "Sun Shan, why do you seem to have changed more and more? You were not like this before. Are you possessed by a ghost? Look at what you are wearing. Why do you look so weird?"

However, although he said this, he was muttering in his heart: This boy's clothes are really nice-looking, I will ask my wife to try to alter one in the same way later.

Only then did Zhang Zhijing shift her attention from Sun Shan's handsome face to his slightly modified robe.

I found that Sun Shan, whom I hadn't seen for only ten days, had not only grown taller and stronger, but also looked particularly sunny and handsome, perhaps because of the short robe he was wearing.

The upright figure is like a pine tree or a javelin, standing tall and independent.

"It looks great, Brother Sun Shan. Why is your dress different? I think, I think-----"

As she spoke, Zhang Zhijing's eyes flashed with fire and she dared not say any more.

Men and women in this era are very frugal. Anyone who praises a woman in person like Sun Shan did just now will be regarded as a lecher and will be beaten in half by the woman's family.

Now, it is because the Zhang family has tacitly approved their daughter's relationship with Sun Shan, and now that she has passed the examination to become a scholar, of course she is qualified, so she is allowed to come to the tea room in one wing.

Otherwise, it would be a dream for Sun Shan to even see her.
