After Mother Remarried, I Laid Down Three Ground Rules With My Stepfather

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, Grandfath...

157 Peach Blossoms in Changchunfeng

Sun Sicheng no longer cared about the affairs of Chang Chunfeng and Yu Yang. He had too much to do and was too busy to handle it. From time to time, he was dragged to the clinic by his father.

But he didn't want to care, but things kept coming to him.

One day, when he was coming out of Baicao Hall and before he got into the carriage, an acquaintance came to him.

"Sicheng, wait, let me ask you something."

"Brother Jinping, why are you in such a hurry?"

Zhang Jinping is three years older than him and lives near his villa. It can be said that the two have been friends since childhood and have a pretty good relationship. Now he is a minor official of the seventh rank in the Dali Temple. He is not ambitious, but he is not a loser either. He lives a very comfortable life.

His father once worked in the Hanlin Academy, and was later transferred to the Ministry of Works as a fifth-rank doctor, and had a good relationship with his father.

Zhang Jinping pulled Sun Sicheng aside and asked: "Two scholars have moved into your villa. It seems that they passed the exam two days ago?"

"Yeah, why are you asking?"

"That man is very elegant, and I can't tell his age. He must be around 23 or 24. Is he married? Who is he to you?"

Sun Sicheng understood immediately that Zhang Jinping had taken a fancy to Chang Chunfeng. Yu Yang was a little fat and his appearance was not very good, so he could only be considered average.

But Chang Chunfeng is different. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is handsome. After all, how bad can a man who can give birth to a child like Ping An be?

"Oh, you mean Brother Chang. He is indeed in the top 200. If nothing unexpected happens, he should be a Jinshi. He seems to be 27 this year." Sun Sicheng saw Zhang Jinping's face darken. "What's the matter?"

Zhang Jinping sighed, "At 27, she must have a family. That's fine. Why do you ask? Logically, it's your fault. When I said I wanted to marry my sister to you, you chose your wife. Actually, my sister is a good person. Alas, she just has a bad fate."

Sun Sicheng certainly knew that Jinping's sister was a widow. One month before the wedding, after both parties had presented gifts, the other party died unexpectedly, very suddenly.

Ten years passed in a flash. Many families were reluctant to marry a widower. Of course, there were many families who came to propose marriage, but none of them were very good, and the Zhang family certainly looked down on them.

"Brother Jinping, my brother has also encountered problems and got married, but it seems that he should be single for the time being."

"What do you mean by temporarily, seemingly, or should be? Sicheng, what you said is very interesting. What's going on? Come on, I'll treat you to a meal."

Sun Sicheng frowned: "Brother Jinping, it's still early, I still have things to do. Why don't you go to work today?"

In fact, Sun Sicheng was also struggling fiercely in his heart. It would be good if Chang Chunfeng really married into the Zhang family. The Zhang family was nice, and Zhang Jinyu was also gentle. Chang Chunfeng would definitely have made a good deal.

This is not a bad thing for peace.

His biological father already has a bride, so he won't be overly obsessed with this son. Even if he really follows his biological father, Zhang Jinyu won't do anything to Ping An, otherwise he will really attack the Zhang family.

"You are a grown-up man, and there are so many people around you. Don't you know how to tell them to do things? Come on, come on, I finally have a day off today. Are you going out soon?"

Sun Sicheng pretended to be reluctant and said, "I really have something to do. Never mind, never mind. I can refuse face to anyone but you. We grew up together."

The two of them quickly arrived at Juxuan Building, and the waiter immediately took them to a private room upstairs.

Zhang Jinping sighed as soon as he sat down: "You know everything about my sister. She is a person with a miserable life. She is simple-minded and stubborn. My mother has been looking for blind dates for her for many years, but she didn't like any of them. My mother pressed her a little bit a while ago, and she even wanted to go into the temple. How could she do that? It was only after my wife persuaded her again and again that she stopped.

The day before yesterday, there were loud gongs and drums in your courtyard, and my wife and sister happened to pass by the door. Jin Yu took a liking to that man at once, and even couldn't forget him. My wife guessed that he had already been married, and he looked to be about 23 or 24 years old. There are almost no people of this appearance and age who are not married.

I would have given up if I had lived in someone else's house, but it had to be yours, so I still wanted to ask, just in case it was possible? It doesn't matter if she's been married before, my sister is not young anymore, and she was once that way, and even the really good families wouldn't like her, I don't need to lie in front of you, Sicheng, tell me everything you know in detail. "

"Brother Jinping, is it okay for me to rashly reveal other people's background? Isn't it okay?"

Zhang Jinping rolled his eyes and glared at her: "God knows, the earth knows, you know, I know, what's wrong with that? Tell me, in detail, I won't tell anyone after I leave this door. My sister is also your sister, I finally took a fancy to her, as long as she is not a bad person, I still want to make this happen. My sister is 25 years old, I can't delay it any longer."

"Okay." Sun Sicheng told the whole story of Chang Chunfeng's past.

Zhang Jinping shook his head and said, "It's too tragic, just like my sister, too unlucky. However, Sicheng is really excellent. He can actually rank 193rd in such an environment. If the conditions are always good, he can be in the top 100."

"Who says it's not true? It's really good to study, and he's a nice guy, but he hasn't gone home yet."

Zhang Jinping frowned: "Sicheng, do you think he has ever been married? Does he have a wife at home?"

Sun Sicheng looked at him and said, "There is one more thing. Let me tell you this at the same time. My wife doesn't even know about this, let alone Brother Chang."

"What is it?"

"I took in a young apprentice last year. He was very much my cup of tea. I loved him like my own son. Last spring, he had no choice but to follow his mother as she remarried. One month later, I spotted him by chance and took him in as my apprentice. He is now just eight years old.

In the first month of the year, Brother Chang and I accidentally met his old classmates, and learned that Brother Chang's home was in Changjia Village, Jiao County. I had never paid attention to the address of my apprentice's hometown before, but the situations of the two people were somewhat similar.

I have been unable to leave the capital for the past few months due to some matters. Since Brother Chang is already here, it would be a pity if he does not take the exam, so I have repeatedly persuaded him to stay. Because he has to take the exam, I dare not give him acupuncture, so he has not thought about the past until now.

Two days ago, I received a letter from my man, saying that my little apprentice is indeed his biological son. He has been with his mother for five years, helped send off two elderly people, used the betrothal money to pay off debts, changed his surname to become someone else's son, and his mother is currently pregnant. I dare not tell these to anyone except you today.

His parents died of illness because of their grief, and his wife and children had to remarry to pay off debts. These are the worst things in life. How could I dare to let him go back alone? Alas, even the storybooks cannot write about these things, so I say he should remain single for the time being. "

Zhang Jinping was silent for a long time, then he sighed, "Sicheng, this man is my brother-in-law. He and my sister are both pitiful. Two poor people should keep each other warm.

Sicheng, you must help me. We will be closer from now on, right? Your apprentice is my nephew now. "

Sun Sicheng rolled his eyes at him and said, "What are you talking about? My disciple has taken his stepfather's surname and is included in the family tree. Even if Brother Chang and your sister get married, he will not go to his biological father's house."

"Why? This situation can be completely corrected. I work at the Dali Temple. Don't you understand this? You can give some compensation to his stepfather."

Sun Sicheng shook his head: "My disciple is a man of his word and will not change his mind. This matter is also a headache for me. I don't know how to solve it. Now I can't tell Brother Chang directly. Delaying his palace examination is equivalent to ruining his life."

"Sicheng, but he will be assigned an official position after the palace examination. If he agrees to marry my sister, I will do my best to keep him in the capital, or at least in a nearby county."
