098 Visiting Sun Siyuan's Home
To be fair, Ping An was unwilling to go to Huainan Prefecture. He was just a child, and he would go wherever his master went. It was inevitable for him to see Qi Jiao.
Thinking of the hardships that his mother and son had endured over the years because of his father, no matter how mature he was, he still felt a little resentful.
Try to tell yourself not to blame others as much as possible. The past is like yesterday's death, but if you see the people involved again, you will definitely feel uncomfortable.
I can't and don't want to tell these to anyone.
At least not for now.
On October 12, the third day of the provincial examination, they arrived in Huainan Prefecture.
The provincial examination lasts for nine days, and students are not allowed to leave during the examination, so they can avoid seeing that person.
This made Ping'an feel much calmer. His biological father's memory was a time bomb, and it might be restored at any time.
"Why do you look listless? Are you tired? We should return to Yongan Manor as soon as possible, but it may take several days here. If you are tired, take more rest."
Ping An nodded, feeling tired both physically and mentally.
In this world, filial piety is the most important thing. Although he changed his surname and household registration, he was not sure that he would not have to recognize his biological father.
He could admit it, but he disliked Qi Jiao at first sight and was absolutely unwilling to live with them.
When modern couples get married, they basically live separately. It was different in ancient times. Even if you were fifty years old, as long as your parents didn't want to separate, you had to stay together. If the etiquette was heavy or it was embarrassing for the younger generation, you had to pay your respects every morning and evening.
That’s not all, some even require you to hand over all you earn and only give you a little pocket money.
Sometimes, the younger ones may die, but the older ones may not.
It’s chilling to think about this.
He is so good now. Before he became a burden, he had already discussed it with his stepfather and made three rules, all in black and white.
My stepfather is a very nice person. At least he is very generous and also cares about face. He doesn’t have to hand in the red envelopes he gets. He will accept them if his family gives him some, and won’t take them if they don’t.
The master also helped him to acquire some property, so it can be said that he got what he wanted.
This life has some flaws, but overall it is still good.
Sun Sicheng had no plan to stay at his brother's house, so he took his people directly to the best inn in the city, Huainan Inn.
There were more than 30 people, and they asked for two superior rooms, and the rest were all medium-quality rooms. Ping'an still lived with his master, Sun Wen lived in another room, and the rest were all medium-quality rooms, with two or three people in one room.
Ruyi went to Baicaotang to report the news and told the second young master that the eldest young master would come at the beginning of the morning.
Sun Siyuan had been worried about his brother these days, and now he felt relieved when he knew that he had arrived safely.
After a long journey, you must be tired, so it is right to rest first.
Let Ruyi come back and tell his brother to wait for him at home tomorrow.
Sun Sicheng just nodded when he heard this. Since he came here, he really had to go to the mansion to see his brother and sister-in-law, as well as the children.
I won’t mention washing, eating, and resting at the moment.
The next morning, Sun Sicheng took Ping An to his second brother's house, followed by Ruyi, Jixiang, Erqiang and Lin Feng.
The rest of the people were sent away by Sun Yat-sen to do their own things.
Huainan Prefecture is close to Yong'an, and the two provincial capitals are adjacent to each other. The city is currently very prosperous, so Sun Yat-sen is certainly unwilling to give up the braised food shop.
We will open eight stores in Jiangnan and two in Yangzhou, a total of ten stores. We will have to open at least two stores in Huainan Prefecture and then open two more in Yongan.
If we open another one, we will plan to open one in the capital. There will not be less than four stores in the capital. After the weather is good in the next two years, we will open two stores in Yingtian and Luyang.
It doesn't matter if you don't do it, just do it well.
Therefore, Sun Yat-sen did not plan to go to the second son's house. Since they were his brothers, he would not get involved.
Ping An was forced by his master to dress up as a young scholar today, a rather noble young scholar at that. He was unwilling to do this, as in his heart, this was not in keeping with his current identity.
No matter how much the master dotes on him, he is just an ordinary farmer's child. He is not the master's nephew in terms of status. If he meets someone who looks down on him, he might even laugh at them behind their backs.
But the master was happy, so he let it go this time.
Sun Sicheng knew that his young apprentice was unwilling to dress up elaborately, and he also understood children's psychology.
But so what? This is his own child, so what if he dresses him up a little? He, the eldest son of the Sun family, still has this right.
Sun Siyuan and his wife were waiting at home with their daughter early in the morning. As soon as the doorman reported the arrival, they immediately went to the front yard to welcome them.
"Brother, you are finally back. You don't know how worried we were. Xin'er, call uncle quickly."
Sun Xiner called out "Uncle" and her eyes were glued to Ping An, "Uncle, who is he?"
Sun Sicheng smiled and said, "His name is Ping An, and he is my uncle's eldest disciple. You can call him Brother Ping An. Xin'er, this is a gift from my uncle, but I brought it from Jiangnan."
It was a box of various kinds of pearl flowers, which were especially popular with little girls. As expected, Xiao Xiner laughed so hard that her eyes could not be seen.
"Thank you, uncle. I like it very much."
Xin'er smiled and said, "Brother Ping'an, can I take you around the garden? There are beautiful flowers and pigeons in the garden."
Ping An smiled and bowed seriously to the Second Young Master and the Second Young Master's wife first.
"Brother, your apprentice is really a young master. Oh, I seem to have seen him somewhere. He feels inexplicably familiar." Ma greeted her uncle with a smile and took out a purse to give to the child.
She had heard that her uncle treated this child as his treasure, and this treasure was really a great gift to the Sun family.
Then give each of the top two and four people a red envelope.
Sun Sicheng patted Ping An's little head and said, "Go ahead, take Er Qiang and Lin Feng to play in the garden."
He then handed the gifts that Ruyi and Jixiang were carrying to the second brother and his wife, and let Ruyi and the other brother go downstairs to rest.
Sun Siyuan and his wife happily accepted the gifts, and Ma quickly went downstairs to prepare lunch.
The Sun Sicheng brothers naturally started discussing new drugs.
"Brother, at first only Ping'er used it, and later I gave it to a few people with severe heart disease to try, and soon they all showed improvement, and one after another spread the word and came to buy it.
I told the patient that the new drug has not been really promoted yet. If the patient insisted on buying it, I would ask them to sign an agreement first. Fortunately, the effect is really good. No bad things happened in three months. Brother, can we start mass production?"
Sun Sicheng shook his head: "Don't worry, let's try it for another three months. I will make an agreement with Fang Xiao to have it made at his place for the time being. Master Qin has the most experience."
"Okay, I'm not an expert on these things, brother. I'll have someone notify Qi Jiaojiao and ask her to take the child to Baicaotang tomorrow. Her husband is taking the provincial examination these days, so he probably won't be in the mood."
Sun Sicheng said with a snort: "My husband took the exam just to earn a career, but her child's life could be gone at any time."
"Brother, you are still a little prejudiced against my cousin. It is wrong for her to give birth to the child without listening to advice, but there are many women like this in the world. Their husbands are their heaven."
"But is this good for her husband? Qi Jiao is a very self-righteous person. Let's not talk about her. We will leave in mid-November. I estimate that I can't come back here until April next year."
"Brother, why did it take so long? My cousin is giving birth in the first month of the year, and she must be worried if you're not around."
