061 Yangshan County
They arrived at Baxing Town at noon, found a small roadside restaurant, and ordered two tables of food, two meat dishes and two vegetable dishes, with rice being the staple food.
Among the eleven people, the oldest was Sun Wen, who was only thirty-two years old, basically in his prime, and the food on the table was quickly cleared away.
Erqiang held his bulging belly and breathed a sigh of satisfaction. He was really satisfied with having enough rice to fill his stomach. If so, he might be taller than his father in the future.
Isn't it cool to have a sturdy and strong man who is also good at kung fu?
Among these people, only Ping An and the other three had not walked this road. The others had walked this road several times with the eldest master and knew the route very well. However, when you are out, things may not go exactly as you expect.
"Have the horses ready, and prepare everything else quickly. We will set off in a quarter of an hour. We will try to reach Yangshan County and check into an inn before dusk."
Jixiang and his friends got busy.
Some pay, some feed the horses, some fill the water bags with water.
Sun Wen took this opportunity to check what Ping An had learned in the morning, and found that they were all correct.
He whispered to Sun Sicheng, "Master, your disciple is probably a genius with a photographic memory. It would be a pity if you snatched him away."
Sun Sicheng glared at him: "Let me be clear, is it a pity to be the first disciple of the eldest son of Baicaotang? Don't you have a lot of books to study with?"
Sun Wen whispered, "You know what I mean. This child is born to be a good student. He will be able to pass the imperial examination in fifteen years at most. This kid is steady and knows how to look at things. He may soar to great heights in the future."
"Ah Wen, there's nothing wrong with being a famous doctor, and there's nothing wrong with being an official, but I've already promised his family that I'll let him pass the exam. As for whether he wants to continue taking the exam, that's his own decision, and I'll fully support him."
Sun Wen curled his lips. This child has been studying medicine since he was young. As time goes by, he has become more interested in it. Naturally, he may not be willing to take the imperial examination. The eldest son's words are a bit high-sounding.
But he couldn't say these words.
The eldest son was very kind to him. He saved him and also supported him in his studies. However, he was discouraged and his talent for studying was not particularly good. He thought it would be better for him to follow the eldest son and live a free and easy life.
In the afternoon, Sun Yat-sen did not take the eldest son's car. Instead of listening to medical lessons in his car, he preferred to play with Erqiang and Qingshi.
The three carriages were speeding on the official road, and Sun Sicheng naturally had no intention of letting his apprentice read medical books.
"Ping An, do you regret learning medicine from me? I spend half a year traveling around the Great Zhou, and I probably spend two or three months on the road. I don't have much of a stable life. If you want to sit in the academy, it's not impossible."
Ping An shook his head and said, "Master, I like to study medicine. I can read. I promised my parents that I would at least pass the imperial examination and I will definitely do it. It would be even better if I could pass the imperial examination. I don't want to go any further. I want to be a capable doctor like you.
Besides, being able to travel around is also my dream. Being able to see all of Da Zhou when I was young is better than many people."
Sun Sicheng smiled, full of joy: "Okay, good idea, safe, we will arrive at Yangshan County in the evening. This county is not small, it is famous for its fans. The weather is getting hotter, you can buy a few more fans to use, and you can also take them back to give to others. You don't have to go back here."
Ping An grinned, this was just like a long journey.
There was no need to buy more, as he didn't have many people who wanted to give him away, so a few would be enough. As far as he knew, good fans were also quite expensive.
Half an hour later, Sun Sicheng told Ping An the basic knowledge of medicine and did not let him read many books. A doctor's eyes are also very precious.
One was speaking seriously, the other was listening attentively, and an afternoon passed by unknowingly during the lecture.
"Young Master, we've arrived at the county town." Da Niu shouted.
"So soon? Let's go to the welcoming inn."
This was the first three-story building that Ping An had seen in ancient times, although its style was ordinary.
"Wow, I don't know how such a tall house was built. It's almost touching the sky." Erqiang gasped.
This sentence successfully made Ping An smile. If a three-story building can support the sky, then what would the dozens of floors in his previous life support?
Sun Sicheng was in a good mood. Seeing that it was already dark and they could not go shopping on the street, he wanted to let his apprentice take a look at Yangshan County, so he simply told Sun Wending to stay for two nights and one day tomorrow.
Sun Wen shook his head slightly. This man really spoiled his disciple.
When I went to Jiangnan before, it was impossible to rest after just one day of traveling. To take a day off, I had to travel for at least ten days in a row.
They asked for a first-class room for the master and his disciple, and three second-class rooms, three people in one, which was already very good.
Sun Sicheng never made it difficult for his followers to eat and live together. They basically ate together and lived almost the same. He never considered lower-class rooms or large bunk beds.
The room was checked in, Sun Wen ordered food in the lobby, and everyone else went to their rooms to wash up.
Ping'an doesn't want to live with his master, and would rather live with Erqiang and Qingshi. However, his master has to teach him calligraphy at night. The trip to Jiangnan will take more than 20 days, and if he doesn't make use of the time on the way, he simply can't afford to waste it.
Not long after they arrived at the room, two waiters brought in hot water.
"Ping An, go wash first. We'll play here for a day tomorrow and the master will take you around."
Ping An grinned and nodded vigorously.
Now that he was wearing single clothes, his mother put a set of spare clothes that they usually wore on top of the package to make it easier to find.
Two years ago, he asked his mother to help him put a cloth belt on his waistband because of the trouble with the belt, just like modern sports pants.
Of course, there are also two belts, and now eighty taels of silver notes are sewn into each one.
He only had two taels of silver in his pocket, but he didn't plan to use the silver notes. Yangshan County was famous for its fans, and he was only going to buy an ordinary fan. It would be too expensive and not worth it. Isn't it just fanning the air?
In his previous life, he was not generous, but he was not stingy at all. After all, he came from a very good family and he started making a lot of money after he turned 30, so he had no financial pressure.
People in this life have become much more stingy, and the key point is that the family has no financial foundation at all.
No, the master gave me a lot, including a house, good farmland, and savings.
The total is probably less than four thousand taels.
This is a number that many people will never be able to achieve in their lifetime.
Ping An got up from the barrel, and an idea came to his mind. He couldn't take the prescription, but he could tell his master the Heimlich maneuver and the drowning first aid method, and still push the blame on the imaginary old man.
These two first aid methods are probably not available in this fictional dynasty.
Baicaotang is a big family with a great business, but because of this, big things bring big difficulties, and there are countless people who want to overwhelm you and help you get up again.
I heard that the master came here this time to solve Jiangnan’s troubles.
The master has been so good to him, and he should do this to repay him.
Besides, doing so will only make him treat him better and better.
There might be more troubles in the future regarding my biological father’s matter, and it would be impossible without a strong backer.
Come out safely dressed.
Sun Sicheng looked at the little disciple who became even cuter after taking a bath. "Your hair is dripping with water. Wipe it clean yourself. When the master comes out, I will take you downstairs to eat."
He has stayed in this inn many times, and the conditions are very good, comparable to the big inns in the capital city.
