126 I Dreamed of a Child
"We've finally entered Jianzhou City. There's still a lot of way to go. I really want to see my parents in just one step." Sun Siyuan lifted the car curtain and looked at Jianzhou City not far away.
Sun Sicheng said nothing. They walked for seven days. The weather was dry and cold, and he didn't know whether Ping An could get used to life in the valley.
"Why, are you worried about your little apprentice again? Brother, do you really want to take him so seriously? Do you really want him to be your own family member?"
"What are you making a fuss about? You think that everyone in my family is my disciple, and a disciple is also a son. It's your first time in the valley, so is it abnormal to worry?"
Sun Siyuan waved his hand: "Don't, don't glare at me. Let's not talk about the child. What about Wu Min in Beijing? It's not appropriate to bring her home, right?"
"No, let him live in the small house behind the medical hall. If he really starts the year unscientifically, I plan to hire him to help Baicaotang. There are a lot of accounts at the end of the year, and he is very good at this."
Sun Siyuan had no objection to this.
"Siyuan, people are sometimes unlucky and even water gets stuck in their teeth. He is almost like that now.
But things change over time, I just want to help him when he is at his lowest point, whether I will get something in return or not is not a big deal, it won’t be a big loss for us.”
Sun Siyuan nodded. He never hated Wu Min. On the contrary, he felt very sympathetic towards this person.
It's nothing more than asking for a ride, having a meal together occasionally, insisting on paying for one's own accommodation, and handling trivial matters by oneself.
"That Qi Jiaojiao might make a scene. It's a good hand, why is she playing it so hard?
My mother knew all this, and I don’t know what she was thinking. She really agreed to my cousin’s request to let me marry her, but I just didn’t like her for some reason. I just liked my wife’s smiling face.”
Sun Sicheng patted the second brother on the shoulder and said, "Congratulations, you have a good eye. The guy behind is unlucky.
Qi Jiaojiao was almost certain to have hidden the other person's pass, otherwise the father and son of the Qi family would not have been deceived by him and easily arranged a divorce for Qi Jiaojiao. Second brother, you should try to have less contact with your cousin's family in the future. This is too unfair.
When he finds his home in the future, if his parents are still alive, he can just smile to the heavens, otherwise he will have committed a great sin. "
Both brothers were silent.
The son who was raised with great difficulty died on the way to the imperial examination. It’s okay for those with many brothers, but those without brothers basically can’t make it. Any parent will know this.
The carriage went straight into the familiar inn.
Wu Min booked a medium-sized room and lived with her little servant.
He asked Xiao Sanzi to go down and order food. A meal for two people only required two dishes and rice. A medium-level room cost two hundred wen a night. He tried his best to keep the daily expenses within five hundred wen, and that was without spending money on travel expenses.
If there are two of you, not only will you have to pay for the carriage, you may also have to find a caravan or escort company to follow them, and you will have to pay ten taels.
When you are short of money, even a penny can make a hero fall.
The dream he had in the afternoon still makes him uneasy.
He was lost in the carriage for a while and actually had a dream. In the dream, there was a cute baby boy looking at him with big eyes, just like a little adult.
He was awakened by the shock.
There is no further behind.
Who was that child? It was definitely not Ping'er when he was a child. He was very healthy and as cute as a fairy boy. Could he be his own son?
This thought made him restless. If it was his own child, he would be seven or eight years old now? Would he be able to go to school? His parents would be waiting for him at home with such a good grandson, right?
"Young Master, Young Master Sun invites you to come downstairs to have dinner together." The third son ran up.
Wu Min nodded and said, let's go together. He was not pretentious about occasional dinners like this. He would still need to rely on others for treatment in the future, so he would just repay the favor slowly.
There was only Sun Sicheng at the table.
"Where's the second young master? Let's wait for him."
Sun Sicheng smiled and said, "I went shopping with his wife. Let's eat together."
During the past few days on the journey, Sun Sicheng had been helping him to regulate his body. His health was getting better day by day, but today he had no appetite.
"What's wrong? Are you not used to eating these? Do you want to order some more dishes?"
Wu Min shook her head and said, "My Lord, I was lost in thought in the carriage this afternoon. I had a dream in which a cute little baby boy was staring at me like a little adult. I was startled awake. Do you think this could be my child? Could I have been married before?"
"Could it be Ping'er?"
Wu Min shook her head: "No, he's a very healthy child with big eyes. He's obviously a boy."
"Brother Wu, it's possible. I can't judge how long it will take for you to recover your memory, but this is definitely a good thing.
When you get to the capital, I advise you to take part in the spring exam. Since you are already in the capital, there is no harm in giving it a try. If you really pass the exam, you can find your family and provide them with a good life. If you fail, it doesn’t matter. At least you can accumulate experience for three years later.”
Wu Min sighed, "This surname is probably not my real surname, let alone my given name. If I really pass the exam, it will be troublesome to change my name in the future."
"You have no choice in this situation. The government will agree to change the name. I will testify for you in the name of Baicaotang."
Wu Min lowered her eyes and said, "Master, I don't know how to thank you. I have nothing now, so I can only keep it in my heart for the time being."
"You don't have to thank me. I'm helping you out of my own free will. Brother Wu, I have two suggestions for you. One is to review your lessons well when you get to the capital. You will take the spring exam on February 20th. It's not easy to go to the capital, so don't leave yourself with regrets now that you're here.
Second, during this period of time, I will hire you to help with the reconciliation of accounts at Baicaotang. I will pay you eight taels of salary a month. You will live and eat in the medical clinic while I help you with your treatment. In April, when I am done with my work, you can come back to Yong'an with me.
If your memory has been restored, you can go home and look for your relatives. If it hasn't been restored, I'll have someone accompany you to look around. There's a saying that goes "the sight of a scene brings back memories" and you might find it. In your case, it usually only takes a trigger, and once you have the trigger, you'll immediately have the memory."
"Thank you, Master. I'll think about it. To be honest, I'm not very interested in the imperial examinations. Things have been so stressful recently. But you're right. If I can pass the exam, it will be the best gift I can give to my family. I'll think about it carefully."
It was already dusk when Ping'an returned to the yard from the pharmacy, but he did not find Erqiang. The yard felt a little empty without this energetic second cousin.
"Lin Feng, where is Er Qiang?"
"Master Ping An, Wu and I are going to find Brother Jing to practice martial arts. Er Qiang seems to have gone to the mountain with Xiao Hu and the others to set traps."
Ping An frowned. Er Qiang was not a child without manners. He should be back by now. "Go and see if Xiao Hu is back. I'll go find Uncle Fang."
Qingshi and Wu Jun were also a little anxious. Although there were few snakes and insects on the mountain in winter, it did not mean that there was no danger.
"Master Ping An, Wu Jun and I will prepare some torches and death lamps."
Ping'an nodded and ran quickly to Fang's house, hoping in his heart that Erqiang was playing at Xiaohu's house. Nothing must happen to him. If something happened, how would he explain to his grandfather and uncle?
It was still dusk and many workers had not yet returned home, but he had a strong premonition, the same premonition he had when he had felt that his father might not be dead.
He felt that Erqiang was in trouble.
