I, Sun Shan, and the Imperial Examination

Chapter 1611 The skies over Yuanlu County ushered in the most weeping day of the year.

When Sun Shan cried like that, the people below cried even more exaggeratedly.

The boss cried so hard, so the underlings have to show off, preferably by crying out loud to grab attention.

And so, the sound of mournful weeping echoed throughout Yuanlu County.

Then came the cries of "boo~" "boo~" followed immediately, and the entire Yuanlu County was rocked by landslides and earthquakes.

The messenger from Chenzhou Prefecture heard the cries and his lips twitched involuntarily.

Especially the cries of the little girl mixed in with these cries didn't evoke feelings of utter heartbreak. Instead, it made you want to slap the little girl and tell her to stop crying.

Some people cry their hearts out to gain sympathy, while others whine like toads, which annoys people.

Little Fatty clearly belongs to the latter category.

When Sun Shan started crying out, his family members, including Sun Bomin and Su Shi, looked at each other in bewilderment.

The weather was fine and sunny, with a gentle spring breeze and everything bursting with life, making everyone feel incredibly happy.

If the emperor suddenly dies, the general public's reaction is: "So what if he's dead? What does it have to do with me? Taxes are still collected in the same way, so it doesn't matter whether he's dead or alive."

Sun Bomin, Su Shi, and others felt the same way as ordinary people; if they were suddenly asked to cry, they wouldn't be able to.

If someone is truly crying with unbearable grief, it's only because Sun Shan or Little Fatty died.

Even if Huang were to die, she might not have cried so bitterly, because Huang was old and had reached the age of fifty. If she were to truly pass away, while she would be sad, she would feel more at peace with everything settled down.

At this moment, how could the Sun family possibly cry for an emperor they had no connection with?

Uncle Sun's lips twitched; instead of being sad, he wanted to laugh out loud.

There's no other reason than that Sun Shan was the one performing the grand opera, playing the role of the dragon and phoenix.

Seeing Sun Shan's hypocritical behavior, I wish I could run up to him, put my hands on my hips, and burst into laughter.

Dege felt the same way. The crowd was so dense, and everyone was crying more miserably than the last. He secretly applauded them, thinking that it was such a waste of talent for these officials not to be actors.

Look at that mournful weeping! Oh dear, it's enough to make anyone who hears it grieve and weep. It's exactly like the hypocrite described in the storybooks.

Little Black Girl, Little Fatty Girl, and Tiger Cry, three tiny mosquitoes, knelt obediently, looking completely bewildered when they saw Sun Shan and his group crying.

My first reaction wasn't to cry along with them, but to run away.

The sound of the adults crying in front of me was so awful, sobbing and whimpering. I felt so sorry for them.

The one who understood Sun Shan the most was Gui Ge'er, but unfortunately, "a man doesn't easily shed tears." Gui Ge'er wanted to cry with Sun Shan, but he just couldn't bring himself to cry.

Sister Yun was getting anxious. How could she let everyone stop crying and putting on an act?

Whether Brother Shan can reach the top depends not only on his exceptional skills, but also on the support of his family.

I don't expect you to give me all your resources, but at least don't hold me back.

They were all staring blankly ahead.

They watched, and their eyes were practically gleaming with amusement, their expressions gossipy, as if they were deliberately letting everyone know they weren't sad at all.

Helpless, Sister Yun had no choice but to pinch the little fat girl's chubby leg with all her might.

Little Fatty: ......

Completely bewildered, she was kneeling on the ground when her mother pinched her. And not only that, but she pinched her so hard. Didn't she know it hurt?

Seeing that the little fat girl didn't react, Sister Yun pinched her harder.

Little Fatty: ......

She immediately burst into tears with a "waa ...

It instantly added a great deal of weight to the entire crying scene.

Sister Yun secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It's good that Fatty cried. It's good that Fatty cried.

You know, forces have an equal and opposite effect. If you pinch Fatty with all your might, Yun Jie'er will also suffer the consequences. Her whole hand ached from pinching her.

The little girl didn't know why her mother was pinching her; she just felt so wronged. Her cries continued incessantly, "Waaah waaah~~~" one after another.

As I cried, I thought about how all I'd had these past few days was plain porridge, plain porridge, plain porridge. I have to say it three times: what a miserable life.

With her round, bright eyes, she looked pitifully at Sister Yun and recounted all her grievances.

Sister Yun is also wronged.

As the saying goes, "The pain of a child's beating is felt even more in the mother's heart." This damned old emperor, he's dead, so why make the insignificant masses weep?

I don't know who came up with such etiquette; it's utterly heinous.

When the chubby girl cried, Sister Yun started to sob too.

At first, I felt sorry for the little chubby girl, but as I cried, I started to feel sorry for myself, thinking about my big belly and the fact that my baby was gone.

She, He Banyun, just wanted a baby boy, why was it so difficult for her?

They eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist prayers on the first and fifteenth of each lunar month, and they also donate money to the Goddess of Fertility from time to time. Why can't their small wishes be fulfilled?

My mother-in-law is always watching me like a hawk, my father-in-law is kind but also has complaints, my daughter is willful and capricious, my son is good but he is an adopted son, and my brother Shan is even more hateful, he is not helpful at all.

The more Yun-jie thought about it, the sadder she became, and the more she cried, the more miserable she became.

Her eyes were red and swollen, and tears were streaming down her face. To outsiders, it looked like her parents had died.

Sister Yun and Little Fatty, one sobbing softly, the other wailing loudly, the mother and daughter were crying so hard they wanted to hug each other and weep bitterly.

Unsuspecting onlookers: ...

It was one thing that Sun Shan was a good actor, but I didn't expect that Sister Yun and Little Fatty would be such great actors as well.

Sure enough, it's not that the family doesn't enter the house.

The most enlightened one was Uncle Sun, who was impressed by how realistically the mother and daughter acted.

As the man behind Sun Shan, he must not lose face, even if he loses the battle.

"Oh my god! His Majesty is such a good ruler, why... why... God, why are you so blind..."

Uncle Sun not only cries better than Sister Yun and Little Fatty, but he also adds his own dramatic scenes.

Hehe, in today's world, everything is subject to intense competition.

Hehe, only by becoming the king of rolls can you be a winner in life.

Uncle Sun got into character instantly, his eyes reddening and tears streaming down his face like a flood, his cries and shouts filling the sky above Yuanlu County.

The onlookers: ......

How are those who can't even cry supposed to live? Is this leaving them no way out?

Oh my god, Lord Sun's family members are all acting tyrants. No wonder they became such good actors at such a young age. With such a family atmosphere, how come they didn't produce an oddball like Lord Sun?

Sun Bomin, Su Shi, Dege'er and others saw Uncle Sun crying and singing.

If possible, I might clap and tap my feet.

But at this moment, all we can do is fight back and cry even more miserably than Uncle Sun, otherwise how can we show our sadness?

Su followed behind, wailing loudly. Sun Bomin, Dege'er, Guige'er, and the guards all cried loudly one after another.

Little Black Girl, Hu Ming couldn't cry out loud at first, but when he saw his family crying, he couldn't help but cry along with them.

After all, crying is contagious, and not crying makes you seem different.

The officials' families who were watching: ......

Last time, they were just putting on an act, crying and shouting a few times. Why do they have to do an enhanced version this time, crying so loudly?

What could Madam Wang, Madam Wu, and the others do?

She could only follow behind, wailing loudly.

In that instant, the families cried even harder, more sorrowfully, and more loudly than the officials.

Officials District: ......

What are those people in the back up doing? Why are they crying so loudly? Cover up their cries, so it will seem like they're not saddened by the late emperor's passing!

Sun Shan and the others had no choice but to shout themselves hoarse, raising their voices and wailing to the heavens.

Thus, the skies over Yuanlu County witnessed the most weeping day in a century.
