101 Qi Family Invitation
Two days later, Qi Wei came personally to invite Sun Sicheng to his home as a guest.
"Cousin, I think I should wait until my cousin's husband is in high school before I go to the wedding with you guys. You don't have the mood to do it now, and I'm busy here too."
"Sicheng, this is Huainan Prefecture. It makes sense for us to not eat a meal when we are at home. I will be waiting for you and Siyuan at Wangchun Restaurant tomorrow afternoon. I wonder if Mr. Sun is free. If he is not too busy, please come over for a drink."
"Okay, I'll definitely go there tomorrow afternoon. Ah Wen has been very busy these days, I'll try to get him over there when the time comes."
Qi Wei certainly didn't mind whether Sun Yat-sen really went there or not, but since he had arrived in Huainan Prefecture and was Sun Sicheng's right-hand man, it would be wrong not to invite him.
"Hey, your little disciple isn't here? Did the kid go to Jiangnan with you?"
"Well, I've been feeling a bit cold these past two days, so I'll just rest in the inn."
Qi Wei saw that there were people coming and going in Baicaotang, especially many who came to get medicine. Since the matter had been settled, he said goodbye and went back.
My sister went back yesterday to ask father to get Sun Sicheng to agree to return here from the capital at the end of the first lunar month next year.
This produces more assurance.
My father was in a difficult situation. He asked Sun Sicheng about what he said to his sister. There was nothing wrong with what he said. The journey to the capital was long. Who could guarantee that he would be able to come back by that time?
After thinking about it, there's nothing wrong in inviting people to dinner, and then we can test their opinion. If it works out, that's even better. If not, we can hire two more midwives.
Sun Wen finally finalized everything about the shop today, from the storefront to the shopkeeper, to the staff and so on. The opening date is set for October 26th.
This kind of shop is different from a restaurant. There is no need to hold a banquet, set off firecrackers, hold a grand opening ceremony and let Erqiang and others spread the news on the streets from now on.
Fang Xiao came here yesterday. He discussed the matter with the eldest master and the other two until midnight. Today, he was caught by him and inspected on the street. Fang Xiao patted his chest and guaranteed that the manpower would be useful.
After Sun Sicheng came back, he told Sun Wen about the Qi family's dinner party.
Sun Wen shook his head and said, "Master, I am just here to entertain guests, so I won't go. Today is the 14th and the 26th is the opening day. I plan to go back to the valley with Brother Fang tomorrow to select people.
Fortunately, the marinade ingredients are ready, and we have a chef. It’s quick to prepare in the shop, and I feel relieved to have Lei Ping’s help.”
Ping An took the opportunity to say, "Master, I will take Er Qiang and the others back to the village with you. When you leave, I will go to Uncle Fang's valley."
"That's fine. Bring all ten of your people. If your courtyard can't accommodate them, you can stay in the main courtyard."
Sun Sicheng looked at Fang Xiao and said, "After I leave, let Da Wu and Xiao Wu take him to your place and let Master Qin teach him how to make medicine. He will live in the courtyard where I usually live. His parents may also move in to live there for a few months. It's hard to say for sure now."
Sun Wen said, "If he really stays until April or May, what will happen to his studies? He is already being taught the Four Books. Why don't I go in too? I just have to check accounts with the headmaster at the end of the year."
"No, you can't leave at the end of the year. So, Awen, you can assign him more homework. There are also old students in the valley who can help teach him. After the Lantern Festival in the first month of the year, you can go into the valley after you have arranged everything."
Sun Yat-sen had no objection, as he really couldn't leave at the end of the year.
"Ping An, is the Master's arrangement feasible?"
"Well, Master, Qingshi and Wu Jun's family are here. I want them to go home in December to celebrate the New Year. The other eight people can stay with me.
Master, I remember my father promised my uncle that he would go back in autumn to teach them how to pick autumn herbs. If he goes back, I would like to let Erqiang go back to see him, as he misses his parents too.
There is one more thing I want to ask Master. Can you let my eldest cousin study medicine with Doctor Sun? He is fourteen years old and a very good person. "
Sun Sicheng felt a little uneasy when he saw his little disciple looking at him eagerly.
This was the first time the young disciple asked him for help like this.
"I can promise you, but is Daqiang suitable for studying medicine? Does he like studying medicine?
If you can read and do arithmetic, you can also learn from the accountant. "
Sun Sicheng guessed that the young disciple might have some feelings for his older cousin, and most likely he had helped him in the past, and now wanted to give him a hand. This was not impossible, and it was just a matter of words for him.
As long as the young disciple doesn't act on impulse and like to bring all these relatives around him, it will be fine.
In principle, he did not agree to use relatives because of the entanglements. Although Lin Feng and Yuan Qing did not sign the contract, they were all orphans, and except for Ping An, they had no home.
Erqiang is different. He is the second child in the family and does not need to stay by the elderly at home. Unlike the eldest son or grandson, it is impossible for him to stay by your side and help you wholeheartedly.
Ping An blushed. He hadn't thought this through.
There are not many people in this world who he cares about, and Da Qiangzi is one of them. In the few contacts they had, this young man gave him very special warmth.
"I'm sorry, Master. I was too rash. But I still want to thank you for giving my cousin a chance."
Sun Wen laughed out loud, "Master, there aren't many people who care as much as Ping An. Let Doctor Sun pay more attention to this child. Maybe he can help Ping An in the future.
Ping An, when you become successful in the future, you can have a large business like your master. Then you can have capable relatives around you to help you. The key is to have good character. "
Sun Sicheng rolled his eyes at him. He didn't think what Sun Wen said was right. As for relatives, it is better not to keep them around you as they are difficult to manage.
Fang Xiao was shocked. Is this child so important to the master?
"Master, can I ask you for a favor? You know, I got married late, and now I only have a nine-year-old son, who is about the same age as Master Ping'an. Now he is learning medicine from Master Qin. I..."
"Go back and discuss it with your family. If you are willing, I will agree on Ping An's behalf."
Fang Xiao is a capable man, and his son is not bad either. He had been planning to build a team of 20 people for Ping An in the next few years.
The affection that one has growing up is different.
He didn't need to spend so much time worrying about his own two sons, as their grandfather and father had already prepared people for them, but some of them were still being trained elsewhere.
This apprentice is different. No one prepares these for him except himself.
The next morning, Ping An brought his ten men and followed Xian Sheng and Fang Xiao back to Yong'an.
Sun Sicheng attended his cousin's banquet that evening.
There were only Qi's father and son and him in the private room, which was quite refreshing.
I have to say that Qi's cousin and his son are several times smarter than Qi Jiaojiao.
After three rounds of drinks, the three of them slowly talked about Qi Jiao and her daughter's illness.
This should have been one of the purposes of this banquet.
Sun Sicheng talked about the matter and described the situation of the two people in a very sincere manner.
Qi Shanxing saw that Sun Sicheng had not yet said whether he could be there when Jiaojiao gave birth.
"Sicheng, you know Jiaojiao's situation is special. If possible, can you try to get back before she gives birth?"
“Uncle, I was being ambiguous in front of my cousin because I was afraid she would be under a lot of pressure. You are different, and I don’t want to hide it from you.
I will return to the capital next month. Before I leave, I will help them with their medical examinations again. I can also leave my two female doctors here, and Siyuan should come back as early as possible.
But I can't. I have to stay in Beijing for several months next spring for something. I can't tell you what it is specifically.
I have already told my cousin to hire two more midwives, and I will keep two female doctors. Siyuan should come back as soon as possible, and you can help her hire an experienced old doctor, which should ensure that everything is safe. "
Having said that, what else can I say?
