207 The war situation suddenly changed

Ping An's first place again made Sun Yat-sen so happy that he didn't know what to do.

If the top scorer in the county examination is just like that, it may be that the candidates in this county are not very good in this period. But it is different for the prefectural examination. Those who pass the county examination are basically good at studying. With so many people taking the examination together, it is truly not easy to get the top scorer.

The child is only eleven years old and has only been in school for four years. What kind of talent is this?

I’ve already got two yuan, so how far can three yuan be?

If I can get six top prizes in the imperial examination in the future, it will be something that hasn't happened in more than 30 years of the Great Zhou Dynasty. It won't be surprising to be called a good omen then.

Sun Sicheng didn't know that Sun Wen had thought so far. Seeing his eyes turn red and his hands trembling, he knew that the nerd was excited.

He also liked it, but was also conflicted. No one knew better than him that his little apprentice did not like being an official very much. On the contrary, he was quite interested in medical skills and had a first-class talent for studying medicine.

Awen obviously wanted Ping'an to take the imperial examination and become the top scorer in the future.

This was contrary to his original intention, but there was no need to rush. We had agreed to hold the entrance examination in three years, and Ping'an would be almost 15 years old in three years, so let him make his own choice then.

In the medicine shop.

Wan Changsheng and Mei Niang were so happy that they cried. He Zishu and his son also breathed a sigh of relief. It didn't matter what rank their son got. The 11-year-old boy was praised wherever he went.

After the initial excitement, Ping'an told his parents that he had something to do in the workshop, and left the yard with Lin Feng, Xiao Wu and Da Wu. Er Qiang went with him to accompany San Qiang. It was still unknown whether San Qiang and his second uncle would stay.

These days, due to the tight alcohol production, he could hardly sleep well. He racked his brains to recall the second and third generation distiller's in his previous life. He only knew their principles but had not really studied them. So many years had passed in a flash, and it was not easy to really draw a good blueprint.

After leaving the door, he turned to Da Wu and said, "I can go to the workshop alone. You three can go practice martial arts or do your own things. The prefectural examination is over. I will ask the master later if I can take you into the valley for a while, and bring Qingshi and the others out with me when we come out."

Da Wu nodded and said, "Okay, Master Ping An, then Xiao Wu, Lin Feng and I will go to the foot of the mountain to practice snow walking. If there is anything, just shout loudly so that we can hear you."

They were all willing to go to Medicine Valley, where the Valley Master, Leopard and others were, and it provided the best environment for practicing martial arts.

But as a guard, the most fundamental thing is to go wherever the master is.

Ping'an entered the workshop carrying a bag of paper and left a set of pens and ink there. Lin Feng and the others were not interested in these and there was no need to waste their time.

Every inch has its own strengths and weaknesses. Each has its own uses. It is impossible for everyone to be omnipotent, not even himself.

An hour later, while everyone's initial excitement had passed, Sun Hongyu thought about finding the eldest son.

"Mr. Sicheng, Mr. Sun, we received a letter from the general this morning. Please take a look." He really couldn't bring himself to say the words to mobilize Sun Sicheng to go to the border, but he had to let him know.

When Sun Sicheng took the letter and read it, he was completely stunned. He handed the letter to Sun Yat-sen.

There have been battles on the border for the past two years. It’s not as severe as the big wars many years ago, but it’s much more intense than the small fights in previous years. After the initial worry, I gradually became numb. It didn’t have much impact on my life. Who knows...

Sun Wen was also confused: "Doctor Sun, this is..."

Sun Hongyu nodded: "This is the most realistic situation on the border. It is very likely that there will be a big war soon. No wonder alcohol is so stimulating this year."

Sun Wen looked at Sun Sicheng and said, "My Lord, I may be selfish, but I still think you cannot go to the border. If a war breaks out, the border will be dangerous. Baicaotang cannot do without you, and the Sun family cannot do without you."

Sun Hongyu sighed and said, "That's true, sir. However, the general needs people, so I'd better go to the border to help for two years. Changsheng has only studied medicine for three years, so I'd better trouble you to find someone to take care of him."

Sun Sicheng didn't respond. What he was thinking about at that moment was what his young disciple said two years ago.

"Master, if you really want to master this skill, you have to go to the border to practice. Rabbits and pork alone are not enough."

He was very excited. No one understood his enthusiasm for surgical tools, and no one knew that he was actually a little envious and jealous of his little apprentice. How could such small hands be so suitable for holding those surgical knives?

He could not match that kind of natural flexibility even if he wanted to. Fortunately, his other medical skills were far superior to those of ordinary people, otherwise how could he be qualified to be his master?

The confusion that Sun Yat-sen once had occasionally also applied to him.

But if I go to the battlefield, what about Ping An? Should I take him with me?

Baicaotang is now in perfect order, with the county town, the prefecture government, one level within another, and with people like Wanli, Sun Wen, the Fang brothers, He Jin, the shopkeeper Qin, the shopkeeper Ge, the father and son of the Bao family, even if they go out for two or three years, I don't think there will be any chaos.

But how can I explain this to my grandfather, father, mother, wife and children?

"Sicheng, Sicheng." Seeing that Sun Sicheng did not respond for a long time, Sun Hongyu could not help but call him.

Sun Sicheng said, "Uncle, you are not alone now, you have to discuss this with Brother Wan and his wife. Also, you will be fifty next year, can you bear to go to the battlefield?"

Sun Hongyu sighed, "What can I do? The general said so, I can't not give him face. Besides, I just stay here to treat more patients. If I go to the border, I can save many more young people. Changsheng and the others are happy today, so I won't mention this terrible thing. No matter how urgent it is, it won't be urgent in the next two days. I will tell them in two days."

Sun Wen glanced at the eldest son. He knew that he was tempted. This man and Ping An had been dealing with rabbits, pig skins and other things for the past two years and he was almost obsessed with it.

Ping An is also very smart, otherwise he wouldn't be number one today.

Oh no, does he want to take Ping An away?

Sun Wen stared at Sun Sicheng with an unfriendly look. Sun Hongyu had no idea what was going on between them, so he quickly found an excuse to leave.

"Master, you don't really want to go, do you? You don't want to take Ping An with you, do you?"

Sun Sicheng was speechless.

If I go, Ping An must be brought along, because the child is naturally good with surgery, and if he goes alone, he won't be able to perform many surgeries.

Sun Wen was a little furious: "My Lord, what do you mean? You clearly know that Ping An is a rare talent, but you still want to take him to the battlefield? If he goes to the battlefield, he won't even have enough food to eat, so how can he have time to study?

Also, don't forget that Ping An is still shouldering two responsibilities, and neither of them has a son, so he is very precious."

Sun Sicheng was angry and amused: "You said that. I haven't thought about it that way. Besides, going to the battlefield means being in the rear, not the real front. He is precious to the Wan family and the Chang family, but not to you and me?

Ah Wen, put these aside. In all likelihood, a real war is about to break out. Quickly notify the industries near the border to close down and disperse all the manpower. The opening of the Southern Alcohol Workshop is imminent. Send Wang Chun and Xiao Liu over tomorrow."
