526 Meeting with Chen Sheng

More than half a month later.

I got into my biological father's car safely. My biological father and stepfather have been getting along very well recently. They would occasionally ride in the car together and chat. They seemed to have completely let go of the past.

"Dad, we will arrive in Yong'an in a few days. I have something I want to ask you."

"What is it?"

"I once ran into Chen Sheng during the provincial examination. He called me first and asked about you. He seemed to have a lot of feelings for you. If you want, I can send someone to find him and let you meet. If not, forget it."

Chang Chunfeng sighed: "Sheng'er is a very good child, and he is also good at studying. He should not have come to the examination this time, right?"

"Dad, he failed the provincial examination. He should take it again the year after next. He returned to his grandfather's house a long time ago. You know, his mother Qi Jiaojiao passed away a long time ago, seven or eight years ago."

Chang Chunfeng was silent.

That marriage was the past he could not bear to look back on.

But he still felt sad when he heard that the man had died.

"How did she die?"

He really didn't know. After he left, he never asked about the Qi family's affairs.

Ping An knew very well about Qi Jiaojiao's death, so he told her everything. It would be good for her biological father to know, after all, they were once that kind of relationship.

Chang Chunfeng sighed endlessly.

Some people suffer all their lives because of their own character, even though they could be living a good life.

Zhang Jinyu also has character flaws, but she has one good thing: she never makes decisions on major family matters and she still cares about him and the children. The only thing that makes him most dissatisfied is that she doesn't treat Ping'an well enough and she refuses to repent. No matter how many times the Zhang family has talked to her about it, she doesn't seem to get any better.

"Ping An, I don't want to say more about Qi Jiaojiao. When we get to Yong'an, if there is enough time, please help me find Chen Sheng. I don't want to see anyone else."

"It's enough. Yong'an will probably have to stay for three or four days. I also have to hold a wedding banquet for Fang Wu and his family. Master has already sent a pigeon to Uncle Fang and his family. It won't take up too much time.

Dad, I still want to say hello to you. When we get back to my hometown, I want to leave some silver for the two villages to buy some clan land. You two dads will do it, and I will have people exchange it for silver ingots when we get to Jiao County.

But if someone comes to you for help, I will definitely not take them with me. It is better to hire people from outside, except for Erqiang and Wanxiang, who are both very good. "

Chang Chunfeng rolled his eyes at him and said, "Dad has been an official for so many years, how could he not know these things? But you have to talk to your stepfather, he is a soft-hearted person."

"Don't worry, Dad. I told you this the last time I went home. My dad is the last person who wants to cause me trouble."

Before he finished speaking, Chang Chunfeng pretended to be angry and said, "Am I the only one willing to cause you trouble? Is this how your father is in your heart?"

Ping An laughed and hugged his father's arm: "Are you sore?"

He nudged his father with his elbow and took out a purse: "This is what your son prepared for you. It's all small silver notes, not much, just five hundred taels, so it's convenient for daily spending."

"Dad has money, he doesn't want yours."

Ping An stuffed it into his father's arms: "My son is filial, so I have both sides. This does not count the filial piety money at the end of the year. There is still money at the end of the year. How about it? Your son is not bad, right?"

"Dad has it, but Dad doesn't want it."

"Dad, you have to get used to it. Children who are filial must continue to be filial, otherwise they will get used to it after a long time, which is not good."

…

Three days later in the afternoon, Ping An and his group finally arrived in Yong'an.

They moved into the Sun Mansion in a low-key manner.

Chang Chunfeng had no intention of disturbing the government office. He wanted to keep a low profile as much as possible when returning to his hometown to worship his ancestors.

As soon as they settled down, Ping An asked Erqiang to go to the provincial school to look for Chen Sheng. If he guessed correctly, this Chen Sheng should be studying in the provincial school.

If Erqiang finds Chen Sheng, he will just say that he wants to see him. He doesn't need to tell anyone about this. The time and place are set at Juxuan Restaurant at noon tomorrow.

He wanted them to have a meal together, after all, they had been father and son for so many years.

In addition to being serious about his work, my father also values ​​old friendships.

Erqiang came back very quickly.

"It's safe. He agreed to go to Juxuan Restaurant at early noon tomorrow and he won't tell anyone."

"Got it. Go wash up. Dinner will be served soon."

Provincial school.

Chen Sheng closed his door. Ping An asked the guards to meet him at this time. He knew very well that his father came to see him after all.

The news that Ping An had won the top six places in the imperial examination reached the city two days ago, and everyone was shocked, including him of course.

This time he returned safely to his hometown to worship his ancestors, his father must have accompanied him. After so many years, he himself knew best how much he wanted to meet this person.

We were father and son for six years, and it is not something that can be forgotten just because we want to.

Sometimes he couldn’t even remember his mother’s face clearly, but he remembered every word and action of that person very clearly.

Although his mother had a bad temper, this person gave him the best care and taught him to write his first word in his life.

After dinner, Ping An told his father that Chen Sheng would meet him the next day.

"Dad, I will reserve a private room on the second floor for you in advance, and you two can have a meal together. I will ask Erqiang to pick him up downstairs tomorrow."

Chen Sheng has clear eyes and is a nice young man.

After saying that, he got on the kang.

He will be very busy tomorrow. Qingshi has already gone home. Early in the morning, Manager Ge will come to discuss Qingshi and their wedding banquet with him.

It is still unclear whether it will be held in the Medicine Valley or in the village. It would be best if it were in the Medicine Valley, but it’s a pity that Wu Jun cannot do it together.

Tomorrow morning, Chen Xuan will take Wang Quan and his wife, Xiao Chen's family of three, and Wu Jun and Wen Zhu and their couple home.

Chen Xuan wants to leave for Beijing in September, so there is no time to waste.

During the journey, Ping An always slept in the same room with his biological father. Wan Changsheng was very insistent on this point. Usually the children were at home with them, so it was natural for them to spend more time with their father during these days.

He even told Ping An that he could go to Changjia Village first to worship his ancestors. After all, they were Ping An's direct ancestors. Even if their household registration was in Wanjia, he was not willing to compete for the first place.

Mr. Sun and his uncle had both told him that in their situation, if Chang Chunfeng had insisted on taking his son back, he would have had no chance of winning.

At dawn the next day, Ping An sent Chen Xuan and his son and his men away.

Before leaving, he repeatedly told Wenzhu and the others that he would go to the capital with Chen Xuan in September, and there was no need to rush because Xiaowu and the others were by his side.

It is now May 20th and there are still a few days left before the end of the month. They can rest at home for more than three months.

To be honest, Wenzhu Road is the only one that is far away. The hometowns of the rest of Wang Quan, Wu Jun, and Xiao Chen are only five days away from Jiao County. Ping An wanted to let them stay longer at home this time, as they don't know when they will come back next time.

At daybreak, Shopkeeper Ge arrived.

"Master Ping'an, congratulations on passing the imperial examination. Master Wan, congratulations."

Shopkeeper Ge said happily.

Wan Changsheng hurriedly held him back, not letting him bow: "We are so familiar with each other, do we still need to be so polite? Shopkeeper Ge, please take a seat."

"Manager Ge, the master said he sent a letter to you by carrier pigeon. I wonder how you and Uncle Fang arranged it? If the time is not in the near future, I am afraid I will not have the time to attend."

Shopkeeper Ge smiled and said, "How could that be? The eldest son sent a letter, and our three families have already discussed it. When you come back, we can immediately hold the wedding. Let Fang Wu and Hu Zi enter the valley first tomorrow, and we will go in early the day after tomorrow, and we can marry the three couples on the same day.

You are their master, so of course you have to be present at the wedding."

"Okay, then we'll get married the day after tomorrow. I'll have to leave the valley the day after tomorrow and head to Jiao County early the next morning. The three of them don't have to follow me. They can just wait for me in the city."
