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, Grandfa...

378 Goodbye Wang Family

378 Goodbye Wang Family

At the end of February, Ping An and his group finally arrived in Yingtian Prefecture.

Huo Zhi left behind two personal guards, and the remaining six or seven people went to the Huo Mansion. He had to follow Ping An to the Wang family to show his face and pay his respects. As for what would happen next, it depended on whether Master Wang would take him to learn together.

Ping An only left Erqiang and Lin Feng, and finally let the little one Xiao Ming stay as well. The rest of the people were taken by He Jin to the Sun family's house here. Qingshi and Wu Jun could also go to the medical clinic to help out. People who study medicine cannot just rely on reading medical books, they have to practice often.

"Master Ping'an, I will take them away then. If there is anything, please let Erqiang and the others call me." He Jin said.

When he got here, he had a lot of things to do. He had to check around on behalf of the eldest young master. The Sun family had many businesses in Yingtian. Young Master Ping'an alone had several shops. However, he didn't run these shops himself and only collected rent.

Ping'an and seven other people quickly arrived at the palace. Of course the doorman knew Ping'an, Erqiang and Lin Feng, and he immediately went to report the news. Erqiang stuffed him a small red envelope, and the doorman's mouth grinned even wider.

Soon, Master Wang and his wife arrived. "It's safe. I guessed you would arrive in the next few days. Hey, where's your master? Didn't you say you would come together?"

Ping An smiled and bowed to the couple: "Ping An greets the elder master and the elder mistress. My master did leave with us, but when we arrived at Tianguang Temple, the old abbot was in poor health, so he couldn't leave."

"This is my friend Huo Zhi, the owner of Jiangnan Huashou Hall. He was supposed to leave a few days earlier than me, but something happened on the way, so he came here with me."

Huo Zhi hurriedly bowed and said, "Huo Zhi pays his respects to the Master and Madam."

"Hurry up, Ping An, Huo Zhi, let's go see the old man. He's been thinking about you all the time."

Ping An raised the corner of his lips: "I miss the old man too."

The old man had already heard the servant come to report that Ping'an had arrived. The old man had already walked into the yard, and Ping'an and the others came in.

"Ping'an pays his respects to the old master." Ping'an bowed deeply and Huo Zhi followed him.

"It's good that you're here, it's good that you're here, who is this?"

"Old Master, he is my friend Huo Zhi, the young master of the Jiangnan Huo family. Huashou Hall belongs to them."

"Hua Shou Tang? Hua Shou Tang is a family of doctors. Since you are Ping An's friend, you can stay here peacefully. Hey, where is your master?"

Ping An had no choice but to say it again.

"The old abbot of Tianguang Temple? He is about my age, a very capable man, but he is in poor health. Old people are worthless. But now that he has met your master, I think he can turn the tide."

"Dad, let Ping An and the others come into your house and sit for a while. We have been traveling for twenty days."

"Okay, come in."

Ping An went forward to support the old man and said, "Grandpa, how are you feeling lately? Are you feeling well?"

The old man smiled and said, "I am quite good now. If it weren't for you two last year, I would have gone to see the King of Hell."

"Old Master, I asked you to do the Five Animal Exercises every day. Are you lazy?"

The old man laughed out loud: "I would like to be lazy, but the eldest brother comes to do morning exercises with me every day, so I can't be lazy."

A few people entered the main hall of the small courtyard, and the eldest lady asked, "Ping An, Huo Zhi, are these the only people you brought with you?"

Ping An said, "I brought ten people with me, and Huo Zhi also brought eight or nine. We only need to keep two or three of them, and the others will go to the houses in the city."

The eldest lady said, "That's fine. In fact, they can all stay. I'll have someone take them to settle down, and then ask the kitchen to make some delicious food."

"Excuse me, Madam."

Master Wang said, "Ping An, I don't like you calling me Master Wang anymore. What's wrong with calling me Sir?"

Ping An stood up quickly and said, "Sir, it is Ping An's fault. I apologize to you."

Ping'an took the gifts for the three members of the Wang family. These were all prepared by the master. The ones given to the old man and the eldest master were the flower tea and fruit tea specially made by Baicaotang, as well as snacks from the capital. The one given to the eldest lady was a set of skin care products from Hongyan Pavilion.

No matter what age a woman is, it is her nature to love beauty. Sooner or later, he will create his own skin care brand and make a lot of money from women's pockets.

As expected, the eldest lady smiled and said, "Ping An still understands me. The skin care products in Beijing are the best."

Huo Zhi also presented his own gifts, but these were bought on the way.

Master Wang said, "Ping An, you will have the college entrance examination in early August, so you can only study here for more than three months. You must leave in June. If you want to prepare to return to Tianguang Temple, the return journey will take more than a month."

Ping An said, "I will leave on the first of June and arrive at Tianguang Temple on the 20th. I have to perform a laparotomy on the old abbot. He also has a hard swelling in his abdomen. I can't leave for Yong'an until at least the beginning of July."

"So, it will be almost the end of July when you arrive at Yong'an. You have wasted too much time on the way. Ping'an, you should do nothing for these three months. Just study with the boss peacefully."

"I understand."

The old man turned to Huo Zhi and said, "Young Master Huo, if you want, you can study with Ping An. If you are busy, forget it. Do you plan to take the imperial examination?"

Huo Zhi said respectfully, "Thank you, old master and master. I am willing to do this. I have passed the college entrance examination and I want to take the imperial examination in the future. As for the imperial examination, it is definitely not possible. I only have two brothers. My eldest brother is already a county magistrate, so I can only be the one to take over the family business."

The old man said seriously: "Taking over the family business is also a big deal. Your Huo family has been in Huashou Hall for so many years, and many people cannot do without you. Saving the dying and the wounded is also a great thing."

Huo Zhi stood up again and bowed: "Huo Zhi thanks you for your teachings, old master."

"You're welcome. You can arrange your own time. As the future owner of Huashou Hall, you have a heavier burden on your shoulders than Ping'an. Ping'an, take him to the front yard to settle him down. Dinner will be served in half an hour. Boss, Ping'an's time is precious. You should arrange your schoolwork more tightly."

"I understand, father. It will take at least six hours a day."

Huo Zhi followed Ping An out and couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.

There are twelve hours in a day. You still have to eat three meals a day, wash up and go to the toilet. But there is an hour and a half left, so you may have to do extra homework.

He winked at Ping An and said, "Ping An, I will prepare some supplements for you."

He would also study with Master Wang, but not for that long, as he would occasionally have to go out to run some errands in the afternoon.

As the future owner of Huashoutang, it is a matter of face to have the status of a juren, but if you really fail the exam, the status of a scholar is enough, after all, you don't have to be an official.

That night, Ping An wrote letters to his master, husband, parents, and then thought about writing another letter to his biological father. He would ask Lin Feng to send it out the next day.
