Reborn into this life before the age of two, my Father vanished on his way to the provincial exam in the capital—alive, he was never found; dead, his body never returned. That very month, Grandfa...
072Tenkoji Temple
In the evening, Sun Sicheng led his men back to the city.
Although Wu Qi knew that his master was going to bring people back and had already made preparations, he was still busy for a while.
Especially knowing that the eldest son gave his most capable two people, Da Wu and Xiao Wu, to Young Master Ping An, and also picked three other good young men.
Including the three children who were with me, there were eight people in total.
Not much worse than the two young masters in the capital.
How much does the eldest master value this disciple?
In this case, he couldn't wait any longer. They would go to Tianguang Temple early tomorrow morning and set off the day after tomorrow, so there was really no time.
As soon as the eldest son finished his dinner, Wu Qi hurried over.
"Master, Wu Qi wants to ask you something."
"Oh? If there's anything between you and me, just tell me. I'll do my best to help you."
Wu Qi's heart warmed up: "My dear, my second son Wu Jun is already nine years old this year. He is quite smart. He started learning at the age of six and has memorized some of the Herbal Collection. He has been working as a handyman at the Herbal Hall for the past two years and knows almost all the medicinal herbs. Can he follow Master Ping An?"
After saying this, he looked at Sun Sicheng eagerly.
Sun Wen smiled and shook his head. These people were all smart and knew who was best to follow.
Sun Sicheng looked at Ping An who was sitting next to him and said, "Bring your son over here."
"Yes, young master." Wu Qi trotted out.
"Ping An, Wu Qi is a very good person. He has been with me since he was a child. His eldest son is eleven years old. He went to the capital three years ago to follow my eldest son."
"Master, if he follows me, his two sons will be gone."
"Silly child, parents always consider their children's future. The bond between us who grew up together is extraordinary. Including Wu Jun, you now have nine people on your team. I will give you all their contracts in the future. It's not convenient for me to travel now.
After ten or eight years, when you are doing things and have people around you who can be used, you must treat them sincerely, like your own brothers and sisters. If they make mistakes, you must consider the circumstances. If they are unintentional, you can punish them slightly, but if they are intentional, you must not be too soft-hearted.
As for Hongying's case, first of all, she entered the valley at the age of seven and has been diligent and hardworking. This time, she lost her mind and did something wrong. She has already realized her mistake. If I kill her, I will not be able to bear it, and others will also feel a little sad. If I sell her, what if she reveals the situation in the valley? If I cut off her tongue, she can still write. I can't cut off her hand again, right?
The master punished her with twenty strokes of the cane and she didn't recover for more than half a month. He also punished her not to leave the valley for ten years. Remember Zhang Xiaoshan's punishment for now. Five strokes will also delay the trip. You should use this person carefully. She is naturally sensitive to medicine. There are not many such people. "
"Thank you, Master."
As they were talking, Wu Qi came over with his youngest son, and Mrs. Wu followed closely beside them.
"I, Wu Jun, pay my respects to the eldest master, and to Master Ping An and Mr. Sun."
"Get up, Wu Qi, are you willing to let Ping An take your son away?"
"My dear, why would I be reluctant to leave you? I still have a little daughter, who can comfort my husband and me to some extent."
Madam Wu bowed and said, "Master, Master Ping'an, I hope you will accept Jun'er."
Sun Sicheng said, "Ping An, take him with you. This child is great."
Wu Jun knelt down with a plop, "Wu Jun greets the young master."
"Bang" is a head.
This child is so honest.
"Get up." Ping An stood up. "You and I are the same age. Let's study and grow together from now on."
Wu Jun felt strangely relieved, even though he was still nervous just now.
"Okay, let's go back to the room and wash up. Wu Jun will follow us to Tianguang Temple tomorrow."
"Yes, my Lord."
Wu Qi and his family left happily.
Sun Sicheng looked at Sun Wen and said, "You don't have to be envious. If you are willing, you can also send your son to the capital to study with my child and grow up with Ping An. Unlike these children, he is just a friend who grew up with you."
Sun Wen's eyes were slightly red. "My eldest son, I am very lucky to have you save me in this life. My eldest son is twelve years old this year and is no longer suitable to be with them. My second son is seven years old. If there is a chance in the future, he can grow up with Ping An. I won't go to the capital. To be honest, I am a little reluctant."
"Okay, I forgot that your eldest son is already twelve years old. Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, I am almost thirty years old. Ping An, go and wash up. The master will take you to the mountain tomorrow. You can rest tonight."
"Yes, Master."
Sun Wen looked at the master and disciple walking to the left and right. As they walked, the eldest son rubbed Ping'an's head and laughed with his head tilted back.
The eldest son rarely smiles like this.
His eldest son is already a student, and is determined to take the imperial examinations, so he is not suitable to be with Ping An. His second son is lively, but not as steady as the eldest son, so he is not suitable to be with Ping An for the time being.
In this life, he was just a scholar. If he had not met the eldest son, the family of three would have died long ago, let alone the youngest son.
Now he is considered the most respected person around the eldest son, and he gets along with him like a friend.
This is rare.
The eldest son would generally not use people who were on living contracts, but he treated him differently, treating him like a sincere friend and not even signing any contract.
Sometimes it is impossible to explain the fate of people.
Tianguang Temple is sixty miles away from the city. It takes more than an hour for a carriage to reach the foot of the mountain. However, it is not easy to get from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, as it is full of steps.
Dawn was breaking.
Sun Sicheng set off with Ping An and the others.
The ones he brought with him were Da Wu, Xiao Wu, Ji Xiang Ruyi and others. Sun Wen was busy, so naturally he didn't go.
Dazhuang Niu was busy training the new arrivals.
Erqiang, Qingshi, Yuanqing and Wu Jun were brought along, mainly to take the children out to play and see the world.
Erqiang didn't sleep well last night. He didn't expect that the eldest master found three more people for Ping An, and gave him Master Da Wu and Master Xiao Wu. Now there is one more person, Wu Jun.
This made him a little panicked.
Poor Erqiang, who has always been happy, feels pressure he has never felt before.
Why should he compare with these people?
They either have abilities, or they can read and know medicine, or their father is the eldest son's right-hand man and is the one who signed the contract.
Only in the last point, he is not as good as others.
But I can’t sign the contract myself. How about finding Ping An and signing a 20-year living contract with him one day?
Thinking of this, Erqiang felt a little relieved.
The carriage swayed slightly, and his eyelids finally closed. Last night was the first time in his life that he couldn't sleep.
Yuan Qing gently placed Erqiang's head on his shoulder. Brother Erqiang had always been very caring towards him, but he didn't know why he couldn't sleep last night because he tossed and turned.
Are you missing home?
It’s a pity that he no longer has a home in this life. Wherever Master Ping’an is, that is his home.
The carriage stopped.
Sun Sicheng got out of the car, looked at the weather above, and said to Ping An with a smile, "You are so lucky. It happened that it was not sunny today, and it was not raining. It will be much more comfortable to go up the mountain."
"Master, the Bodhisattva probably knows that I am most afraid of climbing mountains. Once I learn Qinggong, I can fly up without any effort."
"Qinggong is not flying, and it's not like being a bird."
Jixiang and Ruyi sent the two carriages to the side for storage and came over soon.
Walking peacefully on the steps, it felt like walking in a famous temple in a previous life. The same steps, the same steps, but it was already a previous life.
It has been nearly eight years since he came here. Everything in his past life has become like smoke. He tried his best to control himself from thinking about it, but it was still vivid in his mind at this moment.
