660 Chang Yan's Thoughts

Sun Sicheng and General Hao returned to the inn in the evening, and the people and food they brought were left in the military camp.

"Godfather, you have lost a lot of weight. When my godmother sees you back home, she will be so distressed."

General Hao laughed: "You kid, you're making fun of your godfather."

He looked at Zhang Jinping and Bai Jiaxuan, "Master Huang said that food is in short supply everywhere. Let's discuss it together tonight. Keep some for our own use and distribute it to the victims as quickly as possible."

He also brought a lot of silver this time, and the money had to be used wisely.

Zhang Jinping nodded and said, "Okay, General, you should have heard what Sicheng said. There is an epidemic both inside and outside the city. As of today, there are already two to three hundred people infected at the city gate. Yesterday, there were only a hundred people, and the day before yesterday, there were twenty to thirty people. The speed of infection is quite alarming. There are not many people in the city yet."

Ping An said, "Godfather, I suspect that not all the drowned people have been found and buried. Logically, they should all be burned."

"Ping An, I brought so many people with me this time. Starting tomorrow, I will have the yamen runners take us to various disaster-stricken areas to clean up. It will soon be mid-October. We will try to restore a peaceful environment here within a month so that we can return to Beijing earlier."

Everyone agrees with this statement. One month later it will be mid-November. If you walk without stopping, you will not get home until the New Year. If you delay a little, it will be around the Lantern Festival.

Capital city.

Ping'an Marquis Mansion.

In the sunshine, Zhang Jinyu and Mei Niang sat together and chatted, while Jin'er and Xi'er sat head to head embroidering, and Awu looked at them from time to time and made a few comments.

Pingxuan performed a set of boxing in the front yard, which Changyan found rare. "Pingxuan, I'm going to start practicing now. Is it too late?"

"What do you mean late? You are only eight and a half years old now. Master Dawu said that this is the best time to practice martial arts."

Pingxuan is half a year younger than Changyan. They are almost the same height. Judging from their body shapes alone, Pingxuan appears much stronger, while Changyan is a typical little scholar.

Today is a holiday, otherwise Pingxuan would stay at the farm. In the morning, he would learn Kung Fu with Dawu. There were more than 20 new people in his class. During the day, he would go to school to study, leaving early and coming back late. He would come back early in the afternoon and listen to the lectures of the great teacher with Muyang. He would only go home to rest for one day on holidays, and that means he has three days off a month.

"But it's boring to learn alone with the guards. I don't want to do it anymore the next day." Chang Yan frowned and looked at Pingxuan.

He wanted Pingxuan to invite him to live with him in the manor.

Pingxuan wiped his sweat with a handkerchief: "You are wrong, you should do things from beginning to end. My elder brother will scold you at home. Muyang is practicing every day now."

Mu Yang was taken home by his grandmother today, otherwise he would have had one more person to applaud.

"Your elder brother is also my elder brother." Chang Yan was not happy.

Pingxuan looked at him like a child: "I didn't say he's not your elder brother, you can say that."

Chang Yan pouted and said, "Pingxuan, look, you and I have the same elder brother, so we can be considered brothers, so why don't you invite me to live in the village?

We are studying in the same academy, so we can be together every day."

Pingxuan curled his lips, and it was indeed what he was thinking.

"I can't make the decision on this. Your parents have to agree, and then your mother has to talk to my mother, and my mother has to agree, too. Only then can you move into the village."

Damn it, Chang Yan is completely confused.

"As long as my mother and aunt agree, that's all, right?"

The main thing is whether your mother agrees. Your aunt is the nicest person, she will definitely agree.

How about asking my sister to help him? My sister and Sister Xier have been getting along best lately.

You can also ask your grandfather to speak for him. Grandfather is your mother’s biological father, so your mother should listen to him.

"Okay, I'll try to move into the village before the end of the month. By the end of the month, it will be Chinese New Year in two months. I don't know if my eldest brother can come back before the Chinese New Year. You don't know, as soon as my father came back, he went into the study and sat there in silence, just missing my eldest brother. But I miss him too."

When Pingxuan heard this, his nose felt sore and tears started to flow.

Recently he rarely dares to mention his eldest brother. Once he mentions him, the whole family becomes silent.

He lived in the village and occasionally heard the retired emperor and others talk about things in Jiangnan. He knew that there was a plague in Jiangnan and that his elder brother and others were in danger.

I just don’t know what to do.

Recently, he has also taken some time every day to learn medicine from his uncle. For the time being, his uncle only teaches him some basic medical knowledge.

Studying medicine is much more difficult than studying.

"Pingxuan, why are you crying?"

Pingxuan sniffed: "I'm worried about my elder brother. Jiangnan is in danger now."

Chang Yan stopped talking.

He also knew about what happened in Jiangnan. After all, he had been going to school since he was five or six years old. Now everyone in the capital knew about it, so how could he not know about it?

"Huang Zhihan's grandfather is also the imperial physician who went to Jiangnan this time. Huang Zhihan said that he saw his father crying several times. Woohoo, I'm worried about my brother too."

“Wuwuwu.”

"What's wrong with these two kids?"

Mei Niang sent Zhang Jinyu and the others back home. When she reached the corner of the front yard, she saw two children huddled together and crying.

Xi'er and Jin'er hurried over and asked, "What's wrong with you? Did you bump into each other while practicing Kung Fu?"

Chang Yan shook his head: "We just miss our big brother."

The two little girls' faces also darkened.

Mei Niang, A Wu and Zhang Jinyu also stopped.

Everyone thought of peace.

Zhang Jinyu whispered, "Don't worry, Ping An is so capable, nothing will happen to him.

I'm taking the two kids back home. I've been bothering you for most of the day."

Mei Niang shook her head: "Don't say that. Come over and sit down when you are free."

Send away Zhang Jinyu and her two children.

Ah Wu couldn't help crying: "Mom, I'm worried about my dad and husband, wuwuwu."

Mei Niang held back her tears and said, "Don't worry. Your father is such a capable man. And Ping An has been helping me since he was four or five years old. He has been able to help me find solutions. He is very thoughtful. Be good and don't cry. If you cry, your baby will also feel bad."

Xier hugged her sister-in-law's arm with red eyes, not daring to speak, for she was afraid that she would cry as soon as she opened her mouth.

She started studying medicine with her uncle at the age of five. The plague had really happened, and her eldest brother and others were in danger every day.

These days, she could hardly sleep well at night, and she couldn't make a sound for fear of disturbing her sister-in-law.

After her eldest brother went to Jiangnan, she basically lived in her sister-in-law's yard.

Awu stopped crying. The baby in her belly had really moved a lot just now. He must have felt his mother's sadness.

"Mom, life is so hard. It's not good to have no ability, but it's not good to have too much ability either."

"Be good, let's go back to the yard. I'll make a few dishes for dinner. They're all Ping An's favorites."

Zhang Jinyu looked at the Marquis' Mansion through the car window. At first, she followed her husband to see Mu Yang, and later she came a few times with her eldest sister-in-law. Now she actually came to visit with her children.

She could not see any discomfort in Mei Niang's eyes now, and she had truly let go of the past.

"Mom, what are you thinking about?"
