377 Every Family Has Its Own Difficulties

After Wang Tao and his men left, Huo Zhi went to the medical hall to get more medicine for his injuries.

Ping'an hurriedly asked Qingshi and Wu Jun to follow. This county town happened to have Huashoutang but not Baicaotang. If they didn't take advantage of Huashoutang, whose would they take advantage of?

Huo Zhi was laughing to death.

He liked Ping An's personality, which made him laugh.

It was only then that Ping An was alone in the room opening the things Lin Feng had brought back.

There were a total of one thousand taels of silver notes, some large and some small. This Huo Xun's identity was unknown, so it must have been difficult for him to come up with this much silver.

There were also more than one hundred taels of broken silver ingots and some gold ingots, but not many.

It is estimated that the silver note is the deposit given by Huo Xun, and the miscellaneous items are carried by these ten people.

These people cannot possibly carry their real wealth with them, otherwise they could make a small fortune.

I kept the banknote safely.

He called He Jin over and pointed at the silver ingots on the table, "Uncle He, these silver and gold ingots are worth about two or three hundred taels. You, Xiao Wu, and Lin Feng each take twenty taels. The rest, including Xiao Ming, each take five taels. You keep the rest. I'll trouble you with all the big and small things during this period. If you don't have enough silver, ask me for more.

You are also responsible for putting these weapons away. They already have them for now, and giving them too many will only get in the way. Put them in the cabinet if possible. It's up to you to decide.

We should be leaving tomorrow, Uncle He, please prepare some supplies. We have two extra carriages, one for Mr. Huo, and the other for our luggage."

"Yes, Master Ping'an." He Jin took the gold and silver generously.

Since Young Master Ping'an asked him to be in charge during this period of time, then let him be in charge. Didn't the eldest master ask him to come along just to help Young Master Ping'an?

When Huo Zhi came back from the clinic, he found Ping An locked in his room in the inn, reading alone.

"Ping An, is it necessary to be so diligent?"

Ping An put down the book and said, "Brother Huo, after what happened to you, I suddenly realized that I have too much to learn and I don't even have enough time.

If the people they met that night were more powerful, perhaps they would not have been shot down so easily. It was just that they were too careless. They did not expect that in such heavy rain and in such a remote place, there would be several people who knew martial arts.

What if all ten of them came together that night? Then I would have to go back and call Uncle He and the others. Would something unexpected happen in the meantime? If there was even a slight change, you and your people, Wang Tao and the other six, might all die.

But if my people and I are good enough in martial arts, and our lightness skills are even better, then there will be no problem.

Studying and learning medicine are both options. Studying and taking the imperial examinations are what my parents and teacher want, and I myself am not opposed to it. At least I have to pass the exam to become a juren.

Medicine is my lifelong interest, and I want to do my best in this field, so all I can do is work harder. "

Huo Zhi didn't speak for a long time. After a while, he said, "Ping An, I want to go to Yingtian with you this time. First, I don't want to leave you, and second, I don't want to go back so early to inherit the family business. But I know I can't hide. My eldest brother is destined to pursue a career in politics, and my father doesn't want to control it, nor can he.

Just looking at the matter of Huo Xun, you know how confused he is. I dare say Huo Xun is most likely not his son, but he thinks, what if he is? What if he is?

They even tried the blood test to identify their relationship. It didn’t work the first time, so they tried it a second time, and it worked again.

We doctors all know that blood testing to determine paternity is not reliable, but my father insisted that he would rather raise the child by mistake than let the Huo family's offspring suffer in the outside world.

I almost died this time. Maybe what happened a few years ago was instigated by Huo Xun. The Huo family is not short of money, and neither is Huo Xun. My father often gives him money because he is well-behaved. You don’t know how gentle and polite Huo Xun is in my family.

Brother, I will say goodbye to you in three months. I will go home and take over the family responsibility. I will visit the capital in the future, but not often. After all, the Huo family's main assets are in Jiangnan."

Ping An sighed, every family has its own difficulties. Huo Zhi is a child of destiny, but he also has many frustrations.

"Brother Huo, since you can't come out often, I will go to Jiangnan to see you. My master has bought me a house in Jiangnan. Maybe I will go to Jiangnan Academy to study in the future."

Huo Zhi's eyes lit up: "Ping An, I'm not exaggerating, Jiangnan Academy is not necessarily worse than the Imperial College. Jiangnan is really a good place, and the living is better than anywhere else. I can also help you take care of the property you buy in the future."

Ping An smiled. He couldn't make any answer now, but there was no doubt that Jiangnan was a good place.

The next morning, Ping An and Huo Zhi continued their journey with their men, but they were more cautious. Even if they had to travel a shorter distance, they would try to find an inn to stay in as early as possible.

Here, Ping An led his men on the journey wholeheartedly. On the way, he would talk with Huo Zhi about some medical theories and occasionally recite poems. With good friends by his side, the long journey was not unbearable.

Tianguang Temple.

Ever since Ping An left, Sun Sicheng felt a little worried from time to time. Apart from He Jin, there were only children around. It would have been better if Da Zhuang had gone with them at that time.

Wanli knew that his master was worried, so he advised, "Now the Great Zhou is peaceful, and they are on the official road. Most importantly, Master Ping'an and his team are all good at martial arts, and they are also good at stepping on snow. It's okay.

Young Master, Fang Ming's Medical Valley is better than Fang Xiao in training people. The three young masters in the family also have the people of the old master and the master. Now that we are here, when can we go to the valley to find some more people for Young Master Ping An?

Find some good-looking female doctors. Isn't Master Ping An anxious about the marriages of his people? They are all under 20, mostly 16 or 17 years old. I don't know why he is so anxious?"

Sun Sicheng smiled, his family was safe and sound, which meant he had a good heart.

"Okay, you can go down the mountain first and take a look around. Tell Wu Qi that his son will come back in June and stay for a few days. He is going to Yingtian now.

Also talk to Fang Ming so that he has an idea. Find a few boys and girls, preferably between the ages of twelve or thirteen and seventeen or eighteen.

Wanli, please check around for me. The abbot is seriously ill, and I dare not treat him lightly. When he gets better, I can occasionally go down the mountain to stay for a few days."

"Master, I see that the abbot has gotten much better in the past two days. Your silver needles are really effective."

Sun Sicheng sighed, "When it comes to silver needles, Ping An and Chang Qing are both good at it. Chang Qing is smart and upright, and he studies medicine very hard, but in other aspects, he is not as experienced and straightforward as Ping An."

"My dear, the eldest young master is already very good. The difference between him and Young Master Ping An is the environment they grew up in. One can be said to have been born with a silver spoon in his mouth, with everything prepared for him, while the other has been thinking about making money to support his family since he was five or six years old.

Besides, there is no need to compare them. Isn't Master Ping An also your son-in-law? He is also your child. They can help each other in the future."

Sun Sicheng chuckled. It was true. They were all his children. He could still manage Baicaotang for at least another 20 years. After 20 years, Changqing would be 37 or 38 years old.

He left home early in the first month of the lunar year, originally planning to contact all the major medical clinics after the tenth day to make public the matter of the plaster bandage, and to distribute free worm-removing pills in Sun Wen's county. If these two things went well, it would bring great reputation to Baicaotang.

My father and grandfather had to step in to handle this matter. It’s already mid-February, and I wonder how the situation is going?
