042 Arrival at destination
Ping'an and the others received red envelopes again this time. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that he was the young disciple of Young Master Sun, so the red envelopes were naturally generous, a full five taels.
Jixiang, Ruyi and Erqiang each received one or two taels of silver, and Erqiang was so happy that his eyes were slit.
In the past, his uncle said that the monthly salary of the waiters in the town’s restaurant was not high, but occasionally someone would give him a dozen or twenty cents as a tip, and some even wanted to find a way to send his elder brother to be a waiter in the future.
It’s better to follow a famous doctor.
Ping An will become a famous doctor in the future, and Er Qiang will have no worries in his life.
The next morning, the young master of the Huo family came in person to apologize, and the apology was not small.
Sun Sicheng agreed to stay for three days to treat the old lady and leave a prescription before leaving.
He had originally planned to rest for two days, but by delaying for just one day, he had done the good thing, and Ping An felt that he had learned a new trick.
It was already very late when he got home that night. After washing up, he still insisted on writing today's medical records. He tried to write in a childish but clean handwriting.
From the very beginning, he positioned himself as a young genius, otherwise he would not have attracted the attention of his master and would not have the opportunity he has today.
He will be eight years old soon. In ten years at most, he will make a name for himself in the medical field. By the time he reaches the level of his master, he will probably be in his twenties.
He has lived two lives. In his previous life, he had been engaged in Chinese medicine for more than 30 years and had studied it seriously for several years. There are not many people who are more talented than him, so no matter how fast they learn, they can only do so much better.
Master, this is a true genius.
Erqiang couldn't understand why his little cousin studied late into the night. He was too hardworking. Was he still a child?
In envy and jealousy, he soon began to snore softly, his little hands still tightly holding the small purse. He had better give the silver to his aunt for safekeeping tomorrow morning, otherwise with too much silver in his arms, he was afraid that he would not be able to control himself and spend it recklessly.
That won't work.
Since they were staying for three days, Mei Niang was still making summer clothes. Wan Changsheng could not sit still, so he said something to Sun Sicheng and started helping with the work on the farm.
In mid-May, a lot of medicinal herbs have been harvested and some are still to be planted, so it is the busiest time of the year.
Sun Sicheng had been waiting for Master Huo to arrive early in the morning. Seeing that he was very considerate and had also said that he would give Baicaotang a gong and drum and present a banner, what else was there to say?
When doing business, harmony brings wealth, and face is also important. The other person's attitude was a bit too hasty, so I've compensated for the gift and given him face, that's enough.
But if this happens, my second brother and cousin Qi will probably be worried.
He was powerless to help his cousin Qi's child.
With his medical skills, there is no way to cure her. He can barely control the condition, but year after year, unexpected situations may occur at any day in the future. It will be difficult for the little girl to grow up safely. Even if she grows up, it will be difficult for her to get married and have children in the future.
His own daughter is about the same age as this child. It would be a lie to say that he has no sympathy. He is not that hard-hearted.
For three consecutive days, Ping An followed his master to the Huo family, and the old lady saw that he was getting better day by day.
He almost died, which scared the old lady so much that she asked her son to consult the doctor again and again, not daring to be careless at all.
Doctor Wang still came on the last day. Although the old lady didn't need acupuncture anymore, he still had to visit her every other day.
Sun Sicheng left a prescription for Doctor Wang, and after seven days he just took care of the patient normally and basically didn't need to come to the doctor's home.
In the past few days, Sun Sicheng took advantage of his time to deal with the affairs of the drugstore and the pharmacy. The Huo family also paid generous medical fees, which made him feel satisfied. Doctors also have to spend money on food, and no one would complain about having too much money.
After resting for two days, Bai Jiaxuan felt much better and more energetic.
In the drizzle, the group set off again.
In Sun Sicheng's car.
Ping'an showed the medical records of the past few days to his master, and started flipping through Baicao Ji again.
Sun Sicheng kept curling up the corners of his lips from beginning to end. This kid is too serious.
The medical records of the past few days were written very carefully, and even a table was drawn to list each item clearly.
Including his diagnosis, prescription, subsequent medication and so on.
Can medical records be written like this?
Did he learn a trick from his little apprentice?
"Ping An, everything is going according to plan. We will arrive in the city in two days. You can go to the medicine store first and spend more time with your parents.
I'll take care of things, hold a small apprenticeship banquet, and then we'll go to Jiangnan.
When we get to Jiangnan, I'll let Da Wu and Xiao Wu teach you kung fu, and I'll let Sun Wen teach you lessons, but this way you won't have time to play."
Sun Sicheng suddenly found that his voice was unnaturally soft. He had never been so nice even to his own son, and his youngest daughter was almost the same.
I still dote on this little disciple too much.
It’s fate, it can only be called fate.
He did not plan to take in more disciples because it would be troublesome. He did not need many good disciples, one or two would be enough.
Ping An raised his lips slightly, "Master, I will be eight years old in August. I am a big boy now. I like reading, martial arts, and medicine. I don't need to play specially. That's meaningless."
Sun Sicheng smiled.
The young apprentice said in a condescending manner that playing is meaningless?
For children, playing is the most important thing. Eight years old is not young. When is it young?
"Okay, I'm relieved if you're willing to learn from me. The youngest son of the owner of the city's medical clinic is ten years old this year and has already worked as a clerk in the clinic. He knows a little about medicine.
I am going to give him to you, just like Ruyi follows me. A doctor also needs a good assistant, right?
Only those who grew up with you can have a tacit understanding and coordinate with you in every move."
Ping An's heart was moved. Could it be that this child was a deadly bond?
Sun Sicheng saw his young disciple looking at him with sparkling eyes and smiled, "He has been with my father since his grandfather. Three generations of his family have been slaves of the government. He is a very smart and capable person, but he has a bad fate.
Ping An, official slaves cannot be released for three generations. When this kid has a son, you can issue a contract to the child so that he doesn't have to be a slave like his ancestors.
Ping An, you must have subordinates with death bonds under your command, so that they are easier to control, but slaves are also human beings, you have to treat them sincerely, and then they will work for you wholeheartedly, do you understand this?"
Ping An nodded: "Master, I know all this. I will treat him well, just like you treat Jixiang and Ruyi."
Sun Sicheng pinched the little face in front of him. It was soft and smooth, so cute.
"Well, that's good. Take a break and have some snacks. Studying medicine is not easy. Take your time, but you must work hard. If you are careless, the master will punish you."
…
Two days later, the sky was filled with sunset glow.
The towering city gate was visible from afar, but the carriage turned a corner and took another road.
"Ping An, that is Yong'an Prefecture City. I will take you to the city in a few days. It will take about two quarters of an hour from now to reach Baicao Garden. Your parents will live there for the next few years. We will talk about the future later. You and Erqiang will stay with them in the next few days and you are not allowed to go out casually."
"Understood, Master."
Ping'an looked outside through the curtains. The road was a bit narrow, but perhaps because it was near the city, the road condition was still good. There were many mountains in Dazhou, and even near the city, you could see the shadowy mountains not far away.
Yes, the location is really good.
Sure enough, two quarters of an hour later, the carriage entered the gate of the farm. This gate was much more magnificent than the medicine farm in Gu County.
After entering the village gate, as soon as people get off the car, what they see is endless, so big, so huge.
Wan Changsheng and his wife and Erqiang were all stunned. How many acres would such a large farm require?
Poverty really limits people's imagination. Erqiang kept sighing with his big round eyes, which made Ping'an laugh.
"Brother Wan, this is where you are going to live. The whole village covers 100 acres, and there is also a small hill. Jixiang, go find the village head Xu, I will personally give him instructions."
Jixiang went to find someone immediately.
"Brother Wan, if you have any problems, just go find Xu Zhuangtou. He has been working here for more than ten years, he is familiar with everywhere and he is a nice person. In your spare time, you can also grow vegetables and raise chickens, as long as it does not interfere with the medicinal materials."
