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...
244 Sun Sicheng is popular again
The master and his apprentice returned to the inn by car.
Ping An took out his purse and opened it. "Oh wow, this Master Bao is really generous. He actually packed ten taels of silver for a little apprentice like me. The two silver ingots are plump. I like them."
Sun Sicheng was in a good mood and took out his purse to look at it: "Master has much more than you, three hundred taels of silver notes, how about giving them to you to play with?"
Ping An shook his head: "My wallet is full, I don't need the master's money."
Sun Sicheng is fine, but Xiao Ping'an has indeed had a good income in the past two years.
"You don't have to go this afternoon. I plan to keep that madman sober for two years. His illness won't be hard to cure even if he goes to another place, but I only need two days of acupuncture and I think he'll wake up."
"Master, Ping An's acupuncture is far inferior to yours. I need to practice more in this area later."
"Ping An, your acupuncture skills are pretty good, but you still need to practice hard. If you use acupuncture well, you will be better than 80% of doctors. There are still not many people in Da Zhou who really know acupuncture."
That afternoon, while Sun Sicheng was still giving acupuncture to Bao Chengyang, in Qingzhou city, for some unknown reason, the old man of the Bao family accidentally broke the second child while raping two maids. It happened that the eldest son Sun arrived in Qingzhou city and had no choice but to treat the child.
But who would have thought that the two guards of the Bao family knocked their own young master unconscious, stole the property in the yard and ran away. When Young Master Bao woke up, he was furious and is currently being treated by Young Master Sun.
Neither of the two things was glorious, but the more such things happened, the more exciting it became, and the more excited people became, the more gossips there were. In just one day, everyone in Qingzhou City probably knew that the old man of the Bao family had lost something, that the eldest son of the Bao family had gone crazy, and that he even defecated and urinated on himself.
Master Bao was so angry that he almost collapsed. Fortunately, Sun Sicheng gave him a quick-acting heart-saving pill.
As for who spread the news and how it was spread, no one knows.
Erqiang held a small silver ingot in his hand and was reluctant to put it in his arms. He said that there was nothing in the world more beautiful than silver, and nothing more pleasing than a silver ingot.
It is extremely difficult for villagers to make money, but it is sometimes very easy for Erqiang to make money.
The next day, Sun Sicheng gave Bao Chengyang acupuncture again. Not long after the needles were removed, Bao Chengyang woke up and was truly conscious, but he could not remember anything that had happened in the past few days.
Bao Wangfa was afraid that telling the truth would make his son mad again: "It's nothing, your grandfather had a stroke, and you fainted. I asked the eldest son to diagnose you, and he said it's nothing serious, just a result of anger. Chengyang, you should take a rest, I will take the eldest son to see your grandfather."
The two of them left the courtyard and walked towards the old man's Fu Shou Garden.
"Master Bao, I have to leave tomorrow. Today is already the third day of acupuncture for the old man. All that's left is for him to take care of himself."
Bao Wang was shocked and said, "My father has gotten much better these days. Can you stay for another ten days? Don't worry, I will pay you whatever you want."
Sun Sicheng shook his head: "It's not about the money. The doctors from Qingzhou City have already left today. I volunteered to be a doctor in the northern military camp. I really can't delay."
Master Bao was so shocked that he was speechless: "Sir, why do you have to go to such a place? Your family has an official position, so you don't have to go there."
"It has nothing to do with not having to go. I just want to help when the Great Zhou needs people. I will leave some medicine for the old man and Mr. Bao. Mr. Bao will take the medicine for ten days and it will be enough. Just calm down. As for the old man, continue to take the medicine for half a month. After half a month, ask the doctor to check. If he recovers well, he doesn't need to take medicine anymore. Just focus on recuperation."
Mr. Bao couldn't force his son to stay any longer. Fortunately, his son was really awake and his old father was also much better. He could still take the medicine, so it was not a problem.
"Well, this time it's really my fault, young master."
When Sun Sicheng came out of Bao's house, he had three hundred taels of silver and a pair of mutton-fat jade pendants in his arms.
He handed the silver to Ming Wanli, who took it. During this trip, all the silver and money would be managed by Manager Ming.
He recounted all the gossip about the Bao family that was flying around the streets.
"Master, you became famous in Qingzhou all of a sudden. You will be even more famous when Master Bao leaves. Although the capital is far away, these things will sooner or later affect Master Bao. The Bao family's reputation is really bad."
Sun Sicheng laughed, "But Ping An asked someone to spread the word? You're so young, and you're spending your time on this."
Having said that, the corners of his lips still raised.
Ming Wanli nodded, "It was taught by his little cousin. That kid is good at martial arts, and he is also good in other aspects. He is very flexible and has learned a lot from Jixiang. That Lin Feng is good in other aspects, but he is a little inferior in this aspect, a little wooden."
"There's nothing wrong with the wooden dot. If nothing unexpected happens to Lin Feng's child, he will be with Ping An for life. Er Qiang seems to be pretty good at the moment and has a likable personality, but I don't like my relatives being my close subordinates. However, Ping An will be better than me in handling interpersonal relationships in the future."
Ming Wanli changed the subject: "Young Master, the people from Yong'an Prefecture set off today, and normally it would only take them about twelve days to get here, which means we are only twelve days ahead of them."
Sun Sicheng said confidently, "That's enough. The machine will arrive in Yunzhou before us. This is what the escort leader promised me. The house is ready, and we have brought the people with us. It will normally take seven or eight days. We can't delay any more on the way."
"Young Master." Jixiang saw his own carriage coming and hurried to greet it.
"Where's Ping An?"
"Master Ping'an is in the backyard of the medical hall with Xiaoshan making medicine. Young Master, the old lady of the Hong family is waiting for you in Baicao Hall."
"Oh? The Hong family, which started out as an embroidery workshop? What did you say?"
"It seems that she has to meet you to discuss this matter in person regarding the treatment of her granddaughter."
Sun Sicheng didn't want to go at first, but since it was still early, she thought, since she was her granddaughter, she shouldn't be too old, so she could help treat her illness.
When Sun Sicheng entered the room, Ping'an happened to go to the lobby to get two kinds of medicine. The weather was too hot, and there were not many anti-heat medicines he had prepared before. Besides, it was not convenient to take the medicine powder on the way. Today, he remembered the Bohe Qingliang Pills and the boxed cooling oil from his previous life, so he asked Xiaoshan to help him prepare more.
When Zhang Xiaoshan heard about the new prescription, he became very excited and enthusiastic about making medicine. Ping An asked himself if he could be half as enthusiastic as Xiaoshan.
"Master, you're back." Ping'an then noticed that there was an old lady about fifty years old in the lobby, and two maids were fanning her on her left and right.
The old lady was also looking at him, as if she was thinking about something.
Sun Sicheng didn't care either: "Ping An, you go and do your thing, the master will go to the back hall in a while."
He then turned to the old lady and said, "Excuse me, are you looking for me? I am Sun Sicheng."
The old lady stood up with a faint smile on her face: "Young Master, can I go to the side and talk with you?"
"Of course, please." Sun Sicheng walked to the small round table on the other side, which was prepared for patients and their families. It was already dusk and there was no one on the bench.
