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...

626 turned pale with fear

626 turned pale with fear

When Ping'an and his companions set out, they could barely see the road clearly.

The medical team was at the front of the procession.

At this moment, the drizzle that had been falling for a day and a night stopped, and the air was filled with a fresh scent.

Ping An looked at the long convoy behind him and the countless people seeing him off.

He could not have imagined that the emperor and the emperor emeritus would bring civil and military officials to see him off. The farewell atmosphere reached a climax for a moment.

"Master, didn't you say that the one with the surname Li should go? Why is it Bai Jiaxuan? His father only has him as his son, is he willing to let him go?"

Sun Sicheng sighed, "I know this very well. Yesterday, the carriage that Madam Bai was riding in accidentally collided with Lord Li's carriage. Lord Li couldn't sit still and fell down. Isn't that a coincidence? He actually broke an arm.

The matter happened suddenly, and we hadn't decided who to send. Someone mentioned Bai Jiaxuan, who was originally a subordinate of Lord Li, and Lord Li's mother was injured in a fall, so the emperor agreed."

Ping An even seriously suspected that Lord Li did it on purpose. After all, breaking an arm was much safer than going to Jiangnan.

Mrs. Bai must be crying bitterly at home now.

"Ping An, you and Master must carefully consider all possible diseases and epidemics that may occur in the Jiangnan disaster area, and then prescribe corresponding prescriptions to avoid being at a loss when you arrive there."

"Yes, Master, I don't know how difficult it will be for Huo Zhi at this moment."

Although Baicaotang, Huashoutang and Huichuntang are all located throughout the Great Zhou, Baicaotang is mainly located in the area from Qingzhou to the capital, Huashoutang is mainly located in the south of the Yangtze River, and Huichuntang is mainly located in the southwest.

Ping An thought of Wang Qing. Wang Qing was unlucky. Why was he transferred to Jiangnan?

Sun Sicheng said, "Who wouldn't have a hard time? Isn't Zhu Yuanzheng a hard person? He's already in his early sixties, and he still has to make this journey. And you and I, we're so comfortable at home, we don't lack anything, so you have to do whatever the court orders you to do, right?"

"Master, do you regret becoming a marquis?"

"You fool, you have to go whether you are a marquis or not. If we don't have the ability, even if we are a marquis, we will be an idle marquis, enjoying wealth and glory. But you and I are famous now, and there are some things we can't avoid. The world is big, it belongs to the king, who can disobey the emperor?

Zhu Yuanzheng submitted several petitions to resign, but each time they were rejected because his subordinates were not able to take over the position and did not have his abilities or management skills.

This time he volunteered to go, and his only request was to be able to go home and enjoy his old age after returning."

"Where is his son? I heard that he has a son in the Imperial Hospital."

"Well, he has two sons. One runs the Zhu Family Pharmacy, and some of the medicines are purchased from my family. The other son works in the Imperial Hospital, but his medical skills are okay, just like Changqing. He is not outstanding, but far better than the average person.

The master now thinks that people like Changqing are good, but you are too outstanding, and being too outstanding is not a good thing."

Sun Sicheng looked at Ping'an with complicated feelings. He was his most beloved disciple and the child he cared about the most.

He really couldn't sleep well these few nights, not because he was worried about himself, but because he was worried about his safety.

Ping An smiled bitterly. Everyone once hoped that he would become better and better, like his master and his husband.

Yesterday he went to say goodbye to the two gentlemen, and both gentlemen said the same thing.

"Master, we will be alright this time."

He had his fortune told by the master for two consecutive days, and the results were pretty good.

He counted for himself, but the results were not good three times in a row.

This made him feel very troubled, but he couldn't tell anyone.

The master and the gentleman have always believed that fortune tellers cannot tell their own fortunes.

But he is different from the old abbot. He can always calculate for himself.

During these three years, he had made some achievements in this area. Although metaphysics was difficult, he had learned a lot from a master in this field for two years in his previous life because of his temporary interest. Even if he did not have a master to guide him in this life, he could still learn most of the books given by the abbot.

It is almost impossible for ordinary people to learn it, even getting started is difficult.

"That's good."

Sun Sicheng breathed a sigh of relief, Ping An's divination was now good.

Zhu Yuanzheng, who was sitting in the carriage behind, sighed as he looked at Bai Jiaxuan.

When Bai Hanlin and his son handed the person over to him, he didn't know what to say for fear of scaring them.

But the Bai family father and son are both very smart people, especially they cannot be unaware of the consequences of summer floods. They don't necessarily need to know medicine for these things.

"Even if your mother offended Lord Li, you don't have to recommend yourself to go to Jiangnan."

"Master Zhu, no one stood up at that time. After all, Master Li was injured because of my mother. It would be bad if I didn't stand up in that situation. Everyone was looking at me.

I just thought I was helping General Hao from behind, and I didn’t think too much about it at the moment.”

"Jiaxuan, I think you now understand how difficult this journey is.

But it is meaningless to say this now. I can only say that from now on you should try your best to stay with me, Sicheng, or Ping'an, or follow the general. You don't have to care what others say about you, and you must not go around the disaster area.

After a flood, especially in a disaster area with high temperatures, it is very likely to cause an epidemic. Not all epidemics are terrible. Some are not difficult to control, but some viruses are ever-changing and almost impossible to cure. The disease you get on the first day may be gone the next day. Some young people get sick just as quickly. "

He suspected that Lord Li had broken his arm on purpose, otherwise how could it be such a coincidence? He was leaving the next day, but something happened on the first day?

Bai Jiaxuan's face was pale. He was forced by the situation and could not remain indifferent, so he recommended himself on a whim.

He really didn't think that much at the time.

After returning home, his grandfather and father almost beat their chests and stamped their feet. Only then did he realize that this action was indeed inappropriate. But even so, he was not as scared as he is now.

Lord Yuanzheng is a childhood friend of my grandfather and is also an expert in medicine, so he would never lie to him.

He is only twenty-six years old this year. He has elderly parents and young children to take care of. Nothing can happen to him. If he dies of the epidemic, even his body will be burned.

When Zhu Yuanzheng saw that Bai Jiaxuan's face looked strange, he knew that he was afraid.

What's the use of being afraid now?

I shouldn't have stood up at that time. Some things are okay, but for some things I have to be thicker-skinned.

"I'm not saying this to scare you, I'm just trying to alert you. When you get there, follow Jinping and do odd jobs as much as you can. I don't ask for any credit, I just want to get home safely, okay?"

"Master Zhu, why are you here?"

Zhu Yuanzheng smiled bitterly: "Why should I come? The Imperial Hospital will send ten people this time. I am old, so I will come. It is better than my reckless second son coming.

Besides, Sicheng and Ping'an are here too. Without them, I wouldn't dare come."

Thinking back to that time, his second son was determined to work in the Imperial Medical Bureau and he had no choice but to agree.

If he doesn't come this time, his son will most likely have to come. There are only so many people in the Imperial Hospital. If your family takes up two of them and neither of them goes, what will others think?

If his grandson fails to take the imperial examination in the future, he can open a medicine shop behind his eldest son. There is no point in working in the Imperial Hospital.
