503 Keep your feet away from dust

Now that we know we're getting married soon, there's no time to waste.

The next morning, he asked Hu Zi to go to the village to find Da Wu, and Lin Feng went to inform his father that he would go back in the evening and stay overnight.

Then let Lin Feng and Er Qiang deliver the wedding invitations.

At present, there are only four or five people left in his house, and the rest are busy with various things on the farm.

He first went to his master's place to inform them of the results of the palace examination. Besides, his master would be his witness.

Then he would go to the clinic to find his master and also meet the teacher. With his master and teacher around, he felt much more at ease.

After a simple breakfast in the morning, he told his parents and uncle about his plan, then went out with Xiao Wu.

Ping arrived at Wang's house.

Several people from the Wang family looked at him and laughed.

"What are you laughing at? Ping An is getting married, and you are older than him, but you haven't gotten married yet. How can you be ashamed?"

Shao Qi said aggrievedly: "Grandfather, can my grandson decide on my marriage?"

Mr. Wang laughed and said, "Go to your own courtyard and discuss silently. Your great grandfather and I have something to say to Ping An. Your grandmother is the same. Others go to the temple and come back in one day, but she wants to worship for three consecutive days."

"Sir, where is the mistress?"

The old man smiled and said, "I went to Hanshan Temple with the old lady of the Sun family. They said they were going to burn incense and worship Buddha for you, Shaoqi, and Zhiyuan. They said one day is not enough, three consecutive days would be the best. They will be back in the afternoon."

"Ping An doesn't know how to thank Master's Wife and the others."

"No need to thank them, they did it on their own initiative. Ping An, please write down the essays for yesterday's palace examination first. You will feel uneasy if you don't read them."

Ping An took out a stack of papers from his pocket and handed them to the teacher with both hands: "Sir, what I memorized last night should be the same as what I handed in."

Master Wang hurriedly took it and looked at it.

The old man stared at his son, and for a moment, the study fell silent.

Half an hour passed.

After reading the last page, Master Wang said, "Dad, Ping An's policy paper was outstanding this time. I think it is very well written. Please take a look."

The old man hurriedly took it.

The father and son sat huddled together, and Ping'an felt inexpressibly grateful.

How could he be so worthy of such a capable father and son to teach him everything he knew?

He was afraid that he would never be able to repay this kindness in his lifetime. He had listened to their classes for more than four years. Even his grandfather could not do that.

Time passes by little by little.

The old man raised his head and looked at him and smiled: "Safe, if nothing unexpected happens, you will definitely be the top scholar this time, but the result is not out yet, so you can't tell anyone, understand?"

Ping An knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the old man several times: "Grandmaster, Ping An can be where he is today because of the teachings you and sir have given me over the years. I don't know how to express my gratitude. Thank you, Grandmaster, thank you, sir."

He kowtowed to the gentleman several times.

Both the old man and Master Wang's eyes turned red.

Mr. Wang finally couldn't hold back his tears. He himself had won five yuan, and finally he taught someone to win six yuan.

The old man also burst into tears: "Good boy, get up quickly. Master and Master have been very happy to have you by our side these years. You are just like our own grandson."

It took half an hour for the three of them to calm down.

"Ping An, the wedding will be brought forward. Your master, sir, and your father have discussed with us. Some things should be done in advance. The capital is prosperous, but it is also full of filth. If you are not careful, it may bring disaster to your relatives."

Ping An nodded and repeated his plan, "It's just a little hasty. There are only a few days left."

The old man said, "It's safe. It's hard to take care of all aspects. It's enough for you to have your family around you when you get married. All the other things like the ceremony and excitement are just for show. Your husband and I have prepared gifts and will send them to your house tomorrow morning."

"Thank you Master for your safety, Mr. Xie."

"Master, sir, that's my biological father, I don't know."

Master Wang said, "Ping An, although the atmosphere in the Great Zhou is still very open-minded, some things still cannot be taken care of both ends.

You should discuss with your father and ask him if he wants to invite some friends. It would be best if the Zhang family were invited. The day after the wedding, you and Awu should go to Chang's house early and do your best to follow the etiquette."

"Ping An understands, Grandmaster, sir, I will go to the master now. There are some things I need to discuss. I will go to my father in the evening."

"Go ahead."

As soon as Ping An left, Master Wang became excited and said, "Dad, I finally taught someone to pass the imperial examination with six first place, something that has not happened for decades.

Dad, if I have to say regret, I really regret that Ping An is not my true disciple. Although Sun Yat-sen said that I was his great teacher, Ping An did not offer me tea. "

The old man sighed deeply and said, "You are too serious. Ping An kowtowed to you three times just now, but that is not considered a master's courtesy?

After Ping An's horse parade, I will go to Ping An Manor with the old man of the Sun family. You can go about your work and don't worry about me. You can stay at the manor when you have time."

"Dad, have you forgotten? I told them to send all the children here so you can help me teach them."

"I haven't forgotten. You are not too busy in the Hanlin Academy. The children go to the academy during the day, and you can take care of them in the morning and evening. The emperor promised that you don't have to go to the morning court if you have nothing else to do.

If it doesn't work, I'll come back on my day off, or you can send the children to me."

Ping An found his master in the clinic.

Because it was almost noon, Jixiang picked up his husband directly.

The three of them had lunch together and carefully arranged their affairs for the next few days.

Sun Wen said, "I have already taken leave for the sixth and eighth days of the first lunar month. I cannot take more days off. If you have anything to ask, you can come to me in the evening."

"Sir, I'm afraid my parents and I don't know how to give a betrothal gift. The village is different from the capital."

Sun Wen sighed and said, "I have already thought of these things. I wrote them down on paper a few days ago. You can have someone pick them up tonight.

Starting tomorrow night, your master's wife and I will live in your house until you get married. Also, we will pick up your master's grandfather and the master's husband and wife in advance. They know everything and can help you with the occasion."

Ping An nodded, "Sir, this is the best. My parents are also very anxious. They really don't understand marriage in the city."

Sun Sicheng thought they had almost finished talking.

"Ping An, Mr. Bai came to me yesterday. He couldn't stop crying and begged me to help treat Bai Jiaming. Although his illness is under control for the time being, it is still getting worse. If it continues like this, I'm afraid he will only live for about a year."

Ping An thought about it and said, "The Taoist master did tell me that there is a medicine that may be able to cure this disease, but I don't remember it very well."

Sun Sicheng became excited and said, "Ping An, think about it carefully. If you can save him, you should save him."

"The Taoist master said that this medicine is called penicillin, and it must be carefully grown. Use rice washing water or taro soup to brush the orange peels, and then put the oranges in a warm place. You can cover them with something, and wait for them to grow long green hairs, and then use something to carefully scrape off the green hairs.

Then use rapeseed oil to stir the green hairs vigorously, and finally add diluted white vinegar water and wood ash, stir again, and then let it stand until these things are separated into three layers, pour out the top two layers, and the bottom one is penicillin.

These penicillins can be applied to the infected part of the patient, but there is one thing, some people are allergic to penicillin, so you have to apply a small amount first, and only use it after you have tested it and it works. In addition, you have to soak the silver needles before giving them to the patient, but I really don’t know how much to use.”

"Ping An, you said so much, how can I remember it clearly? How about..."

"Master, I have to go. Let Ping An get busy. Even if it's to make new medicine, it has to be after Ping An gets married. He has a lot of things to do these days, and so do you."
