314 Master's Home

The night passed quickly.

They were all young guys who could eat and sleep well, and none of them had trouble adapting.

Ping'an packed up the things he brought early in the morning.

There are three elderly people in the master's family, as well as his wife and four children.

He picked up his things and found that the green jade given by Chen Xuan and his son was the better one, but all his masters had it. Moreover, he kept one for his parents, one for his teacher, and the remaining one was intended to be given to his stepmother.

It was not difficult to take care of the four children. He had been going out with his master over the years and had received many good things from others. When he came to the capital this time, he prepared a set of pens and ink for the three boys from his master's family and the two from his teacher's family, and a small jade item for Awu.

At the beginning of the Chen hour, he waited for his master and Ruyi to arrive.

"Master, why are you here? Didn't you say that Jixiang would pick me up?"

"Jixiang, I asked him to go to your father's house to report the news. It's not far. Let's go. Your great-grandmaster and grandmaster are waiting for you at home."

Ping An frowned and said, "Master, I didn't notice it before. Today I thought of going to your house, but I couldn't find a gift that I could give. Master, can you take me to buy some?"

Sun Sicheng laughed and said, "Silly child, you are still a child. You don't need to bring anything. Just remember to kowtow."

"Master, how about this? I have a few medicinal recipes left. Can you give them to Grand Master and Grand Master? Master's wife will give her a pastry recipe."

Ping'an looked at his master eagerly. He had known over the years that no matter what prescription he took out, his master would not be surprised and would just think that it was given by Taoist Master Hu.

"Okay, their favorite is Fangzi."

Sun Sicheng did not hesitate and took whatever Ping An took out. Over the years, he had collected many good prescriptions and was amazed at how much the Taoist priest had taught him.

Ping An quickly prepared two medicinal recipes and an egg cake recipe.

I do have a gift for the old lady. It's a piece of top-quality orchid that I accidentally discovered on the way to Beijing. I've already bought a nice flowerpot and decided at that time that it would be a gift for the old lady.

After a busy time, it was already noon.

The carriage arrived at the Sun family very quickly, just a few blocks away.

"Safe, we're here."

Ping An followed behind his master, and today he was still with Er Qiang and Lin Feng.

Master’s house is too big.

Sun Sicheng said, "We bought this house early, and it has five courtyards in total. It is hard to buy such a large house in such a good location now. Each courtyard has two small courtyards and more than a dozen rooms. Come on, I will take you to the courtyard of the old master and the old lady."

Ping'an followed the master to the three courtyards. He estimated that each courtyard was more than 200 square meters. These were just the building areas, not including the courtyards. The courtyards alone were more than that.

Songmeiyuan.

Sun Sicheng whispered, "Usually the old lady lives here, and the old master lives on the other side, but today they are all here for convenience."

Ping An knew that this was a good thing as it saved him from running from one yard to another.

Sun Yinan was looking out through the window. When he saw his son bringing the child in, he hurriedly trotted back to his chair and said, "Here they come, here they come."

If nothing unexpected happens, the person coming today will be his eldest grandson-in-law from his grandson's family.

"Ping An, the person sitting in the middle is your great-grandmaster, the old man of the Sun family, the people sitting on both sides are the master's parents, the person sitting here is your master's wife, you know Awu, Changqing and the other two have gone to the academy."

Ping An bowed his head and said, "Ping An wishes you the best of luck, Grand Master."

The old man laughed and said, "Good boy, get up quickly."

Ping An then knelt down and paid his respects to the other three people.

Sun Sicheng directly distributed the gifts that Ping An brought one by one: "Ping An wanted to go to the street to buy them, but I was unwilling to do so because we didn't have anything at home. Later, he thought about it and came up with these recipes. He asked if they were feasible. I said they were great. Is there anything better than these recipes?

Mother, this orchid pot that Ping An gave you is a rare item. You can change the pot later. This one doesn’t look good.”

"Oh, I just love these flowers and plants. Ping An, thank you very much." The old lady's eyes were smiling. She did like flowers and plants, but the children brought by her son liked them more.

Such a young man, like a person in a painting, is indeed a perfect match for her Awu.

What's more, he saved the lives of her son and granddaughter.

Last night, my son told the four adults about the dangerous situation. They were almost scared to death. This child is too smart. If it was a little worse, Sicheng would not have come back.

Ping'an also gave a gift to Awu who was watching eagerly at the side. Five years later, the little girl had grown into a beautiful flower.

Each of the four elders of the Sun family gave Ping An a gift, and they were all very valuable, so he had to accept them.

The old man stood up and said, "Let's go and sit in my yard."

Lin Feng and Er Qiang also received red envelopes, and followed Jixiang to the front yard with the gifts of peace.

As soon as the men left, Wu sent her daughter away.

"Mother, how is Ping An?"

The old lady smiled and said, "I have never seen such a good child. A 14-year-old boy, as beautiful as a jade, good, especially good."

Wu sighed, "Ping An is indeed good, with good looks and abilities, but it's a pity that his family background is a bit poor."

The old lady was unhappy: "Daughter-in-law, what do you mean? You are still worried about Ah Wu's hard life in the future? Not to mention that the child sent so many prescriptions to the Sun family, just because he saved your husband and daughter, you can't despise him a little bit."

"Mother, how could I dislike him? I just lamented that he has parents on both sides of the family, which would be good for his future."

The old lady didn't wait for her to finish her words: "What's the big deal? Ping'an's mother remarried because her husband got into trouble. Besides, she sent her parents away and raised the child. Chang Chunfeng did nothing wrong here. He handled things beautifully afterwards. There was no need to do this or that.

Awu's mother, since Ping'an is the legitimate son of both sides, he should visit both sides. Besides, he can't move around much if he has nothing to do normally.

I don't like to meddle in family affairs, but what this child has done for the Sun family is such that it's no exaggeration to say that he is a benefactor of the Sun family. Think about it carefully, is this true?

Just like I told Sicheng, in two years, there will probably be many people who want to get engaged to him. Chang Chunfeng is not bad now. He is in his early thirties and has already reached the sixth rank. He is also an official in the Ministry of Personnel. Don’t forget that he is Ping’an’s biological father.”

Wu's face turned red. What her mother-in-law said made sense.

The child was indeed very good, even better than her two sons, but she still felt a little uncomfortable in her heart. If the family conditions were better, it would be perfect.

"Mom, I'll go to the kitchen and check. Mr. Sun will be here soon."

"Go ahead."

The old lady looked at the eldest daughter-in-law's back and shook her head. Such a good child would be perfect to be her grandson-in-law, so why did he have to come from a wealthy and powerful family?

The life of a daughter-in-law of a wealthy family is not that easy, it just looks glamorous on the outside.

Both of her daughters-in-law have never been tortured by their mother-in-law and do not know the hardships involved.
