I, Sun Shan, and the Imperial Examination

Chapter 1576 On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the chubby girl made a fortune.

In the end, Sun Shan did not play the erhu.

The laughter of the new bride is heard, but the cries of the old are not.

Sun Bomin wanted to hear the chubby girl play the piano.

Little Fatty: .....

Looking at her chubby little fingers, she said confidently, "Grandpa, Mom says Xiaoxiao's piano skills are excellent. Xiaoxiao loves playing the piano for Grandpa the most."

Sun Bomin laughed heartily and said cheerfully, "As expected of my good grandson, he is as smart as his father. Good, Grandpa also enjoys listening to Xiaoxiao play the zither."

Looking at the chubby girl who seemed to think she was the best, Sun Shan also believed that her piano skills far surpassed those of her peers.

Gui Ge'er even more conspicuously brought out the guqin that Little Fatty Girl was exclusively using.

He said with a smile, "Xiaoxiao, come on, Uncle Gui also wants to hear you play the piano."

The chubby girl, with an air of nonchalance, sat confidently on her special low stool, her chubby hands gently caressing the strings.

To be honest, whether there's any actual practice or not, there's definitely some technique involved.

Look at him, he's a true master of the piano.

Before the chubby girl plays the piano, there is an intro.

She stepped forward, patted her chest, and said confidently, "Grandpa, Dad, Xiaoxiao will now play 'A Pleasant Evening' for you. I'll make a fool of myself."

After speaking, she gracefully returned to the low stool.

Sun Shan was filled with surprise, thinking that even if the little fat girl's playing wasn't very good, the prelude had brought him a lot of satisfaction.

Sun Bomin exclaimed excitedly, "Good, my dear granddaughter, she's truly a lady of high birth! Hahaha, I never imagined that a country bumpkin like me could raise a daughter of an official! Good, good, good!"

The little black girl looked at the little chubby girl with adoring eyes.

He said admiringly, "Little sister Xiaoxiao, you're really amazing! You play so well."

Look, even before she's played, the little black girl is already certain that the chubby girl can play the piano well.

Gui Ge'er clapped repeatedly: "Xiaoxiao, you played well, Xiaoxiao, you're the best."

The big-headed dog in the kitchen also ran out to join in the fun, loudly muttering, "Xiaoxiao, play with the sugar rings, they're crispy and delicious."

Big-Headed Dog was fine until he mentioned Little Fatty's stomach rumbling, and he couldn't help but swallow hard.

She said eagerly, "Uncle Big Head Dog, Xiaoxiao loves sugar rings the most."

Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter.

Sun Shan's sense of surprise and honor vanished instantly.

Even if Little Fatty tries to act like a well-bred lady, she's still a little foodie at heart.

The chubby girl gently stroked the strings, her chubby hands bouncing, and soon produced bursts of music.

Although the little girl loves to eat and loves gold, she is very serious about what she does. Look at how focused she is when she plays the piano.

Sun Shan listened with delight, and the more he looked at her, the more he felt that it was only a matter of time before the little chubby girl became a daughter of a prominent family.

Needless to say, Sun Bomin already saw the image of a refined young lady in the little chubby girl sitting there, pretending to play the strings.

Not to mention she can even play the piano, making her the epitome of a refined lady.

In Sun Bomin's memory, there was no one in Sunjia Village who could play the piano. No, among all the people he knew, there was not a single one who could play the piano.

Even the clever and capable Aunt Sun didn't have this talent.

Big Head Dog and Gui Ge'er were not to be outdone; watching Little Fatty's chubby little hands move, they could then produce a melodious piano tune.

What else could she be but a daughter of an official?

The Sun family was so engrossed in the little girl's piano playing that they couldn't tear themselves away, and even after the piece ended, the lingering sound still resonated deep within them.

Sun Bomin was the first to clap, his eyes red and moist.

She said happily, "Great! My Xiaoxiao plays so well."

I often heard that rich young ladies were well-read and highly talented, but this had always been just a legend and an imagination.

Today, the little chubby girl has come to life in front of him, how could he not be excited?

Sun Shan also praised, "My father's good daughter plays the piano with unparalleled skill."

To be honest, the little chubby girl's playing was just average; she could only manage to play the entire piece perfectly.

If Sun Shan hadn't been blinded by love, he would have surely noticed many of Little Fatty's shortcomings.

Unfortunately, the old father's heart had already taken over his eyes; he looked at the chubby little girl as if she were a gold nugget, and he was satisfied no matter how he looked at her.

Gui Ge'er praised her even more, saying, "Brother Shan, Xiaoxiao plays the piano so well, it's the best piano music I've ever heard. Brother Shan, Xiaoxiao is indeed your daughter, she's just as capable as you. There's nothing she can't learn, only things she doesn't want to learn."

Big-headed dog was completely smitten with chubby girl.

She said with all her heart, "How funny! You play so well. You are indeed the daughter of the first scholar from Zhangzhou Prefecture. You are proficient in everything. In the future, the men who want to marry you will line up from one end of the village to the other."

Looking at the adorable chubby girl, Big Head Dog couldn't help but fantasize that his daughter and Aunt Baiyue's daughter would be just like the chubby girl—proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry, and songs.

Little Black Girl ran up to her, her eyes sparkling, and said, "Little Sister Xiaoxiao, it sounds so good, I want to hear it again."

The chubby girl stood tall and proud, looking at everyone with a smug expression.

He pretended to be modest and said, "Grandpa, Dad, Xiaoxiao's playing is just so-so."

Suddenly, as if remembering something, he hurriedly took a purse out of his pocket.

She ran up to Sun Shan and said, "Father, since Xiaoxiao plays so well, you should give her a reward."

After saying that, he opened his empty purse, clearly asking Sun Shan for money.

Sun Shan: ......

Is this...is this a golden branch and jade leaf?

Are there really such mercenary ladies from wealthy families?

How did she know she needed to give a tip? Who told her that?

The chubby girl remained unmoved by Sun Shan's appearance for a long time.

Frowning, she asked in confusion, "Father, Uncle Gui said that when you played the erhu, many people gave you money. Now that Xiaoxiao is playing the piano, Father should also give her money."

Two chubby little hands tore the purse open wide, indicating that Sun Shan should put the reward money inside.

Sun Shan: .....

He turned around and glared at Gui Ge'er.

Gui Ge'er shrank his neck and cursed under his breath!

Little Fatty is good in every way, except for one thing: she learns both good and bad things.

Look at how natural and skillful the gesture of asking for a tip is.

I've never practiced it before, but I've only heard that it can be performed so skillfully.

Oh dear, my empty wallet is right in front of me, Brother Shan, I can't refuse to give you a tip.

Sun Shan did give a tip, since he had just praised the chubby girl's playing.

He chuckled and put five copper coins in.

He said with a smile, "Here, this is a reward from Father to Xiaoxiao."

Little Fatty saw that Sun Shan had put down five copper coins.

Overjoyed, he said happily, "Thank you, Father."

With chubby little legs, she ran up to Sun Bomin.

Same actions, same words.

Sun Bomin was more generous than Sun Shan, putting in a full coin and patting the little chubby girl's chubby head.

He said encouragingly, "My dear grandson, play well, and you'll get even more rewards in the future."

The little girl's eyes shone brightly as she nodded repeatedly, "Grandpa, Xiaoxiao will try her best."

The chubby girl went around in circles and had a very fruitful trip.

The little girl is good at applying what she's learned to other situations.

After Su Shi, Yun Jie'er, and the others returned, they immediately rushed over.

She said in a sweet, soft voice, "Grandma, Mom, Xiaoxiao wants to play the zither for you."

Su and Yun were puzzled.

However, since the little chubby girl was so proactive in playing the piano, we naturally encouraged her.

The little fat girl finally understood what was going on when she asked for a reward.

I couldn't help but curse under my breath: What a greedy little fat girl!

Uncle Sun, Brother De, Sun Dingnan, Master Zhang, and even Hu Ming were not spared.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Little Fatty made a fortune!
