573 Just treat it as my imagination

The next day, Ping'an got up at dawn.

First, a trap was set up in the remaining rooms in the backyard, leaving only the gate. If something really happened, the gate could be sealed directly.

Sun Hongyu listened carefully to Ping An's teaching on how to seal the formation gate.

Ping An was worried, so he added a hidden array outside the trap array. He was relieved and said, "Uncle, it's better this way. Outsiders can't see it. Xiao Ming, come here and I'll teach you."

In fact, Sun Hongyu had never seen Ping An arrange the formation before. Now he saw him tinkering here and there, and the remaining row of houses at the back suddenly disappeared out of thin air.

How capable is this child?

Xiao Ming was called over early in the morning to watch the young master busying around. He knew that the young master was setting up the formation, but he didn't understand why he was setting it up in his own home.

But a good guard only needs to obey the master's requirements and never ask questions that should not be asked.

"Ping An, what are you doing?" Wan Changsheng came over.

Sun Hongyu smiled and said, "I know Ping An can set up some small formations, so let him set one up for me to see. Changsheng, don't tell anyone else."

Wan Changsheng only vaguely knew that his son had this ability. Now, seeing that the row of remaining houses at the back had disappeared, he opened his mouth and was speechless.

"Dad, I'll have some breakfast and then go to the two gentlemen's homes to pay New Year's greetings."

According to the custom of the Zhou Dynasty, people would pay respect to their master on the first day of the Lunar New Year, return to their parents' home on the second day, and only after the third day would they visit relatives and friends.

Ping An first went to his master's house.

I paid New Year's greetings to several elderly people, my master's wife, and my second uncle and aunt.

"Master, don't worry. I'm just a doctor. What can happen? I'll go find you when I get to the palace this afternoon."

Sun Yinan nodded: "You can go find the master, we can always discuss things with him."

Although being a doctor only involves seeing patients and not doing other things, the lives of people in the palace are precious. If something happens, they may suffer heavy consequences. It's a good thing that Ping'an can enter the palace today and look for Sicheng. This kid is lucky and capable enough.

"Last night, the whole family had no mood to celebrate the New Year. So Changqing doesn't necessarily need to be a great doctor in the future, as long as he can keep the family business."

The old man said nothing.

There is something wrong with this statement. In the medical field, it is difficult to maintain the family business if one is not as capable as others. However, Sicheng is only 40 years old this year, so he can still manage it for another 30 years. By that time, Changqing's son will be 30 years old.

Ping An went to find Uncle Ming again: "Uncle Ming, I may be worrying for no reason, but I am very uneasy. Keep a good lookout for the whole family at night. If there is any disturbance, the trap can barely protect all of you. I will go to find Master after I enter the palace."

Ming Wanli nodded.

He was not nervous at first, but the eldest son and Young Master Ping'an both felt nervous, so he also started to panic. The more he thought about it at night, the more uneasy he felt, but he had no basis for it. It was understandable that the palace did not want Ruyi to enter.

We can only wait for Master Ping'an to enter the palace in the afternoon.

Ping'an went to the Wang family, and after greeting them, he took his master to the old man's yard.

At first, Dean Wang thought Ping An wanted to accompany him to pay New Year's greetings to the old man. He looked at the disciple's hand holding his arm and said, "Look at you, you have no manners at all. You can still hold the master like this? You should be three steps behind me, so that you are neither too far nor too close."

That being said, which old person doesn’t like having children around him/her?

He doesn't have a sullen face at home, but the children are always well-behaved in front of him. Rules are what children in scholarly families are taught since childhood, but they have lost some of the family joy.

"Sir, I have something to discuss with you and the master."

When we entered the old man's yard, he was already up, but he never ate with the younger generations early in the morning. Older people have different food preferences from young people.

"Peace is here."

Ping An bowed and said: "Ping An wishes you a happy new year, Master. I wish you a happy new year and a smile on your face."

"Okay, okay, safe. This is the red envelope that Master gave you. Master also wishes you all the best in the new year and that you will have a good son."

"Thank you, Master, for your safety."

Mr. Wang was anxious: "Ping An, didn't you say you had something to discuss? Tell me now."

The old man was unhappy: "It's New Year's Day, why are you so fierce? Can't my child wish me a happy New Year?"

"Dad, I didn't mean him."

Ping An sighed. He was not in the mood to joke today.

He was becoming more and more uneasy. It was a bit puzzling to talk about this, but he had also felt this uneasy before when his master got into trouble in the Northern Territory, when Huo Zhi got into trouble on the way to Yingtian, and when Chen Xuan and others got into trouble in Minzhou. It was as if God was warning him.

His birthright and memories of his past life were extraordinary, so he had to believe it.

He told his master and his grandmaster about his master's affairs, and also expressed his worries and anxieties.

"Ping An, how can I say hello to you? Didn't you go to the palace last year? I remember you came back three days later and received many rewards. Your master is famous, this is normal. You just can't leave your master."

Mr. Wang laughed. He was twenty years old, but still a child.

The old man seemed to be in deep thought.

"Sir, Master, I entered the palace at the beginning of the afternoon. Just treat it as my imagination. I want to set up a formation in the backyard and leave the gate. I will teach you how to seal the gate when it is done. Don't worry, I will make it simple."

Mr. Wang nodded: "It's up to you."

He knew that Ping An knew how to set up the formation. Sicheng had briefly told him about it, but he didn't say who he learned it from. So he didn't ask. Everyone has their own privacy, and the same goes for apprentices.

The father and son followed Ping An to the backyard, where they saw him take out a palm-sized formation plate from his arms, busying himself back and forth, and occasionally calculating on paper.

Half an hour later.

"Sir, I will teach you how to seal the formation. This formation can be used for half a month. However, nothing happened in the past two days, which proves that I was just imagining things. I will come and dismantle the formation."

Mr. Wang only needed to learn it for a while. This is really interesting, but the formation is different from others and cannot be taught easily.

The two of them entered the courtyard again.

"Grandmaster, as long as the gate is not sealed, you can still enter and exit this courtyard. Once the gate is sealed, people who don't understand the formation can't easily enter."

Fortunately, although the gentleman is the dean, he is only a fourth-rank official and does not need to enter the palace to attend the banquet because he cannot reach the third rank.

The old man nodded and said, "Ping An, you should be careful too. Although this may be due to your nervousness, the palace is different from the outside world. You must be cautious in everything."

"Master, sir, then Ping An will leave. I still have to go to sir's house."

"Go ahead."

Watching Ping An walk away, the old man frowned.

"Dad, it's obviously just a child's fantasy, why do you take it so seriously?"

"Boss, the child may be a fantasy, but it is not without reason. Except for the crown prince, the other princes have already grown up and have a lot of children. Your Majesty has had too many smooth days and is still a bit careless. It's okay to want to become the emperor early. You can just abdicate when the time comes. You shouldn't say it so carelessly in front of others."

"Dad, why are you so delusional? The emperor has only four adult sons. The crown prince is not to be mentioned. The second prince is elegant and refined. Although my grandfather's family is a duke's mansion, they are only interested in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. The third prince likes martial arts, but his talent is average. He is not outstanding in anything and he doesn't like to use his brain. The fourth prince is a good person, but his grandfather is just a local official and has no help at all. The crown prince's position is stable."
