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...

404 Top Three Set Up

404 Top Three Set Up

After returning to the inn that night and washing up, Ping An went to find Xiao Wu.

"What did you find out in the county town last night?"

Xiao Wu laughed and said, "Master, we had limited time last night, so we didn't investigate much, and we didn't have time to verify it. This Bai Jiaming was not honest when he arrived in Jiao County. People generally didn't mess with him for the sake of Lord Bai and Old Hanlin Bai.

But there were also people who were resentful and probably set up a trap to make him interested in gambling and brothels.

You can't touch these two things easily. The bad thing is that the emperor is far away and no one dares to take care of him. Maybe something bad will happen in a short time."

Ping An curled his lips and said, "Just leave him alone. We will go to the county town tomorrow night and stay for a day before leaving. Old Master Bai wanted him to reflect on himself in the small county town, but he made a wrong move. For a person like this, we should find some powerful people to lock him up in the village to teach him a lesson."

It is not known whether it was Mrs. Fu who took action.

People like Bai Jiaming never feel wronged when anything happens to them. They will harm others to death without any bottom line. If he had really stripped Fu An naked in the street that time, even if he pushed out the two slaves afterwards, Fu An's life would have been ruined.

Lord Fu is gentle and refined, a typical scholar, but Mrs. Fu is not someone to be trifled with.

Now, regardless of whether it was Mrs. Fu who did it, Ping An was not going to care about it anymore. There was no need to do that. Someone was already on the road to death.

"Xiao Wu, the day after tomorrow morning, you should take Xiao Ming out to prepare some things for the journey. That kid is pretty good. If you pay more attention to him and teach him well, he will be quite smart to help you run errands when you go out."

Xiao Wu nodded: "Master, are you going to take Wanxiang with you?"

"Well, my father only has this big brother. Wan Qing has a place to stay, Wan Xi is responsible for taking care of the family, and Wan Xiang can be taken with him. My father rarely asks me for help, so I have to give him this face.

When he comes to your side, you also take him to learn martial arts. He is a little older, but after all, he is only sixteen or seventeen years old. The child has strong willpower and he will generally be able to succeed after learning it.

I've agreed with him that the minimum contract is 20 years, just like Erqiang. He will leave with us tomorrow night, so there's no need to rush, just go back to Yong'an."

"Master, I understand. I think Wanxiang is really good. He might be a good match for me."

"Okay, go back and have a rest, Xiao Wu. You are the leader of the people around me, so you should decide how to manage them. Now that you are here, you should treat them equally. You don't have to treat them like relatives. That way, no useful people will be produced. It's better for you to not be here and just follow my father as an apprentice."

His father's medical skills are pretty good now, but his uncle still takes him with him. His uncle really treats him as his own son.

The next morning, they had breakfast downstairs at the inn. The food outside was just so-so.

At this time, several people came in, holding a child.

Ping'an took a look and saw that it was the child he had rescued yesterday morning.

The man saw Ping An at a glance and said to the elderly couple beside him, "Dad and Mom, the benefactor is sitting over there."

The man took a step forward and knelt down with a plop. The young woman holding the child also knelt down.

Ping An hurriedly helped the man up and said to the young woman, "No need to be polite. Is the child okay?"

The two old men also had to kneel, and Erqiang and Lin Feng at the next table hurriedly supported them.

Ping An said, "It is my duty to help you in this matter. You should be careful about what your child eats in the future."

A man in his thirties behind the old man stepped forward and saluted, "I am Doctor Xin. I was not at home yesterday. Thanks to you for saving the child and helping my apprentice. Thank you very much. I just accepted you not long ago and I haven't had time to learn yet."

Ping An responded, "Doctor Xin, you're welcome. It's just a small favor."

Doctor Xin asked, "Excuse me, sir, are the disciples of the eldest master safe? These two are..."

Ping An said, "Yes, I am Ping An. This is my great uncle, the doctor of Baicaotang in the prefectural capital. This is Doctor Sun of Baicaotang in the county seat."

Doctor Xin hurriedly bowed, in fact he knew Doctor Sun in the county town.

Sun Hongyu and Doctor Sun returned the greeting.

The man took out a basket of gifts and said, "Sir, this basket is filled with smoked goose made by my mother. It tastes good, but it's not worth much. The other basket is filled with dried meat, which was made by my mother herself. My family runs a butcher shop."

Ping An laughed, "How can I feel so embarrassed? It's very hard to do so many things."

The old woman said in a loud voice: "Young Master, if you like it, I will send you some more. These are the craftsmanship passed down from my ancestors."

Ping An clasped his hands together and said, "Thank you very much, this is enough. To be honest, we will be leaving soon."

After sending a few people away, Ping An recounted what happened yesterday morning: "Master has spread the two emergency methods throughout the Great Zhou, but many people still don't know how to use them. If we had been a little later yesterday, the child would have died."

Doctor Sun said, "How can I put it? Most doctors have learned it, but many ordinary people still don't know it. Once an emergency occurs, or if they live far away from the clinic, they can't be saved at all.

There are also doctors in some places who have learned it themselves and have no intention of teaching apprentices. I am certainly not talking about Doctor Xin. "

Ping An sighed, it is indeed extremely difficult to pass on a good first aid method to everyone.

Many banquets were held at the Sanqiang restaurant, and many distant and close neighbors came. Even every household in the village came, especially the children. It was as lively as the New Year.

It was also very noisy.

Old Man He was extremely excited. He never thought that his grandson could pass the imperial examination. However, his grandson also said that he almost failed the exam. It was fortunate that Ping An gave him the notes.

So even if they had to be shameless, they still had to give the top three to Mei Niang and the others, but they couldn't let them pay for it anymore.

The He family is no longer poor and has saved a lot of money. The three strong men talked about his expenses for studying in the provincial capital. They calculated that Changsheng and his family had to pay for nearly half of the expenses in these three years. How could that be tolerated?

But they took the silver back to their son-in-law, but his son-in-law and daughter refused to accept it, so they had no choice but to give up.

The banquet lasted for more than an hour. It started at noon and ended at almost 3 p.m.

Village chief Chang also came with his youngest son Chang Shu. As promised, he gave him two handwritten copies. It would be nice if he could ask someone to make two more copies of this kind of copy later.

Chang Shu carefully put it in his arms and thanked Ping An solemnly.

Ping An is indeed a good person. "Do your best to take the college entrance examination next time. If you have any problems, you can find the owner of Baicaotang in the capital. In the future, you will have the opportunity to go to Beijing to take the examination. Even if I am not in the capital, you can go to Baicaotang and report my name if you have any problems. They will help you."

Village chief Chang felt mixed emotions, he should obviously be Chang Shun's, so he and Shu'er would be close brothers, although they are still somewhat different now.

Just like what my father regretted, even though it was caused by poverty, my father and I were still narrow-minded.

After seeing off the guests, Mei Niang said goodbye to her parents, brother and sister-in-law in tears. She would go to the county town with her son in the afternoon. The county magistrate would invite Ping'an and his son to dinner tomorrow at noon. She couldn't make people run around just to stay one more night.

Wan Changgeng's family also came to the banquet today. After they left, Wan Changgeng handed the person over to Ping An.

"Ping An, I'll leave Wan Xiang to you. Please take care of him as you see fit. When it's convenient, have him come back with Er Qiang to visit. Don't worry about the family. Wan Qing will come back often, and San Xi Zi is willing to stay at home with me."

"Uncle, don't worry. He will learn skills like Erqiang. I will let them come home when I have time. After two or three years, when he is older, I will help him find a good wife."

Wan Xiang's face turned red immediately.

Wan Changsheng looked at his son happily.

He was only fifteen years old, but he was already seriously talking about finding a wife for someone else.

Why is my son so cute?
