423 Loyal and Brave General's Mansion

The old shopkeeper's eyes turned red. "If the eldest master doesn't mind, I will continue to work in Minzhou. Chengwang is smart and does a good job in accounting. Since he is willing to renew the contract with the eldest master, I am naturally willing. As for the future, it depends on his ability."

Sun Sicheng recounted what had happened in the village over the past two days.

"Overall, it's not bad. You should send people to check on the farm from time to time in the future. If you find any problems, solve them in time. The farmers can treat them better, such as food and clothing. These don't cost much. My Sun family is not a stingy family."

"Yes, young master. A small portion of the medicine produced by the three farms went to Baicaotang, and most of it went to the military camp. We don't have to worry about sales, but in the past three years..."

Sun Sicheng stood up and said, "Li Sheng and his son have paid out all their income for the past three years. Of course, they have also spent a lot of money, and you have also swallowed up your personal share. The father and son will be exiled thousands of miles away in the next two days. I heard that the place of exile is in the northern border. Do you want to meet them?"

The old shopkeeper waved his hands again and again, "Gone, gone. When I was a child, I sold myself for his survival. Now I have accepted them and given them money to buy a house and find jobs. But they want to kill us and swallow up the eldest son's property. Such people deserve to be put to death. From now on, my relatives can only rely on me, and then you, the eldest son.

Master, please deduct the money that Li Sheng and the others spent from my monthly salary until it is all deducted.

Young Master, I know you are not short of money, and the Sun family is even less short of money, but people are here because of me. Otherwise, my father and I will never be at peace for the rest of our lives. It is right to punish them if they make mistakes."

Sun Sicheng walked out: "In that case, just deduct half. I'm leaving now. You guys take care of yourselves these few days."

As soon as he walked into the main room, he heard the suppressed crying of the old shopkeeper.

There is definitely sadness, as their sincerity was eaten by dogs. After going through these things, I believe this father and son will be more stable.

He originally wanted to change the three village heads, but after thinking about it, he decided not to.

The original three village heads were just a bit honest and were good people. They were completely unaware of this matter.

Wanli and He Jin had already been waiting at the door of the study room. They lived next door to the study room.

Sun Sicheng told us his plan.

Wanli said, "If we let Wanhua and the others go to Master Ping'an's manor, we should let them bring their families with them in the future. Otherwise, their wives and children are all in the Great Medicine Valley, and they will not feel at ease working outside."

"Of course. I don't care how to deal with these things. You make your own decision. But if you do this, most of next year will be gone. Ping An will stay at the Wang family to study for the next two years. I will also stay in Yingtian as much as possible and return to the capital in the second half of the year."

"The second son of the Zhongyong Marquis family came today and wanted to invite Ping'an and me to go to the military camp tomorrow. The Marquis's leg injury won't heal, so they will come to pick him up early tomorrow morning. You guys can go with them. I'll leave Daniu and two other people at home to guard the camp, and Lengshui and the six women will stay behind."

He Jin smiled and said, "That's the real seaside. It's nice to go there. Sir, it will take several days to go there and back. I have to ask them to pack their clothes tonight. The seaside is colder than here.

By the way, let Daniu go to the clinic and tell the shopkeeper tomorrow that Master Ping An can’t have his appointment for mole removal these days, so he can only come back to get it done.”

Sun Sicheng and Wan Li both laughed.

Speaking of this, it all started with the freckle removal incident for Madam Ying ten days ago. Sun Sicheng did not intervene in this matter. Ping An treated her properly, both internally and externally. Surprisingly, the freckles had faded a lot after a few days. Madam Ying's circle of noble ladies soon found out about this, and they all came to see him.

Later, they heard that Ping An could remove moles, which was even more out of the ordinary. A lot of people wanted to have their moles removed, so Ping An had no choice but to ask them to make an appointment at the medical clinic. He would go there for more than an hour every afternoon, but the number of people was limited to no more than six.

Generally, it costs ten taels to remove a mole. Melasma comes in different sizes and colors. Those who come to do these things are not short of money. Those who are short of money will not do this at all. Business has already been booked until the end of the year.

This time, the master and his disciples brought nearly thirty people in total. Ping'an calculated that, excluding the cost of medicinal materials, their daily income would be fifty taels. Thirty taels of it would be saved and distributed to these thirty people at the end of the year. So each person should be able to get more than thirty taels.

It was meant to be a prosperous New Year for everyone, and everyone became happy all of a sudden. Everyone liked money, but what they liked more was the young master's sincerity towards them.

Sun Sicheng did not stop Ping An. Removing moles and blemishes was also a way to relieve people's worries, but he didn't want to do it to the little girl, as it would be bad to get into trouble.

Therefore, among the people who come for mole removal, no girls over ten years old will accept the reservation. People know Ping An's concerns and say that it is useless to write a letter of guarantee. I even heard that some girls cried and scolded Ping An at home.

The next morning, Sun Sicheng met Wang Tao in the front yard.

Wang Tao bowed deeply and said, "Wang Tao greets the eldest master. Thank you for saving my family."

Ping An, who was standing by, hurriedly helped him up.

"No need to be polite. When I saw you before, you were still a teenager. Now you are so handsome and majestic. Time flies so fast. I have grown old in the blink of an eye."

Wang Tao laughed and said, "Young Master, I don't agree with what you said. You are in your prime, only two years older than my brother."

Sun Sicheng also laughed: "Don't talk about this, don't talk about this. How can you young people understand the troubles of us middle-aged people? Time flies like water and time is like an arrow.

Wang Tao, is your father's leg injury serious? Are there any medicines in the military camp? Tell me, I want to see if I should bring some relevant medicines."

"My dear, my father's leg injury was not serious. He just accidentally cut a piece of flesh from his calf. The military doctor cleaned the wound and applied medicine according to the normal procedures, but it has not healed. The wound has become festered, swollen, and even rotten. So when I heard that you were in Minzhou, I came to find you immediately.

There are many people in the military camp who suffer from joint pain. Some joints are severely swollen, which has affected normal training. The treatment is not very effective, which is a headache for my father. "

"I see. Give us half an hour. By the way, Ping An and I have more than 20 guards. Will we have a place to stay when we get there?"

"My dear, you don't have to live in the military camp. Not far from the military camp is our general's mansion. The general's mansion is very big. If you go to the military camp, you can go in the morning and come back in the afternoon. But you may have to stay there for a few days."

Sun Sicheng nodded: "That's fine. Two days on the way, three days at the general's mansion, that should be enough. There are only about forty days left in the end of the year, and there are many patients waiting in line here."

He had forgotten that the Marquis of Loyalty and Bravery had another official title, that is, the General of Loyalty and Bravery. He had been stationed in the coastal areas for more than ten years. Wang Wei said that he was expected to be transferred back to the capital in the next two years.

"Master, I'll go ask Chen Xuan if he can go." After saying that, the man disappeared.

Fu An also had to be notified quickly because he was still at the Ying family, otherwise he would definitely be scolded afterwards.

When Chen Xuan heard this, he immediately packed his clothes. His father had become very busy and sometimes had no time to come back and live with him.

More than half an hour later, Fu An came running with two guards, his mouth grinning from ear to ear, saying that Ping An had a conscience and had not forgotten about him when he did good things.

A quarter of an hour later, Sun Sicheng and his men followed Wang Tao to Quan County. Quan County was surrounded by the sea on both sides, and the military camp was stationed thirty miles away from Quan County. The general's mansion was not in the county seat, but it was not far away and could be reached in less than a quarter of an hour by horse.

It took more than half a day to travel from Minzhou City to the General's Mansion by express horse. Ping'an, Chen Xuan and Fu An huddled in the carriage with the doors and windows closed, but they could still hear the whistling wind. Fortunately, everyone was wearing cloaks, otherwise it would have been very cold to drive the carriage.

The carriage stopped.

Wang Tao shouted from outside the car: "Master, we have arrived at the General's Mansion."
