148 Even more ridiculous than the storyline
Sun Wen sighed, "So, you should think about it carefully. The spring exam is coming soon, and they can come back at the end of April at the latest. The first thing your father will do when he comes back is to go to Changjia Village.
As a result, when he returned, his parents had passed away and his wife and children were married to other people. He was afraid that he could not bear it. To be honest, as a teacher, I felt a little sympathetic towards him. After all, it was an accident, not that he did not want to come back.
I have discussed this with your Uncle Fang and Shopkeeper Ge for a long time. They all tend to favor your biological father based on both emotion and reason. After all, it is a matter of ethics and blood relationship.
But I know you want to follow your mother. Changsheng is a good and honest person. He will not restrict you too much in the future. Your master and I will definitely follow your ideas.
Ping'an, I want to wait for them to come and see if your master can help you negotiate and confirm that Chang Shun's name can be included in the Chang family tree again, but Wan Ping'an is still the eldest son of Wan Changsheng and is still on the Wan family tree, just like a few families who have to shoulder both ends.
This is just a formality. You can just visit your biological father during the holidays and still live with your mother. This way, the other party will have face and a way out. If you confront him head-on, it will be bad for your future reputation.
Freedom is important, but reputation is more important. The word "filial piety" can overwhelm you, and your future wife and children, so you must be careful. "
Ping An was speechless.
This is no worse than the bloody plots in some novels. If it were modern times, these problems would not exist and people could basically do whatever they wanted. But it was not possible in ancient times, when filial piety was more important than anything else.
But no matter how much filial piety is above everything else, he does not want to leave his current home. In this life, even though he carries the memories of his past life, what can a little person do? He can do nothing. He can only help his mother with small chores, such as collecting firewood and raising chickens.
The deepest memory of those years is hunger. He was often so hungry that he couldn't sleep. So he was shorter than his peers before, but he grew a lot taller that year.
It's true that your father has lost his memory, but you're already in your twenties. Don't you think that you might be married? Even if Qi Jiaojiao has feelings for you, if you insist on not giving in and you've saved her life, what can she do? Can she kill you?
It's just the male chauvinism that's at work. They think that if you want to marry someone, just marry him. If there is really another wife at home, that person is considered a co-wife or something. It's normal for a man to have three or four wives and there's nothing wrong with that.
He just didn't agree. How could a man and several women live in harmony? The weak would always be bullied. But that wouldn't happen with his stepfather. He was sure that his stepfather and his mother could stay together for the rest of their lives.
This is family.
"Sir, I will definitely have to trouble you and Master to help me when the time comes. I insist on living with my mother in the Wan family. My biological father can recognize me, but I will not live in their house. They cannot control me, including the major events in my future life. Otherwise, I would rather not take the imperial examination."
Sun Wen sighed again: "Don't talk nonsense. Apart from other things, a scholar must take an exam. The Great Zhou has had good weather in recent years, but it doesn't mean it will always be like this. Many times, labor and military service can be bought with silver, but is there still a time when it can't be bought?"
Ping An lowered his eyes and said nothing. This was indeed true.
He was actually preparing for the exam, otherwise he would not have studied so diligently. Not being an official does not mean that he is unwilling to take the exams for the scholar or the juren. Being a famous doctor is good, as it brings both fame and profit.
But what if it is a famous doctor with the status of a juren?
That is naturally even more different.
Ping An has always been a man who cares about his reputation.
"Ping An, I think your stepfather can't avoid this. He needs to know about it in advance. You two should discuss it. The end of April is only two months away. It will pass in the blink of an eye."
"Sir, my mother can't know. She won't be able to bear it."
She had been married for five years and remarried only for one year. Anyone could not bear it, let alone a pregnant woman.
"I know, so I will take you to Baicaotang tomorrow and we will talk in the backyard. This matter has been kept secret from your mother from beginning to end. You cannot be stimulated when you are pregnant."
Ping An nodded, stood up, and bowed to the gentleman: "Sir, thank you for considering everything for me."
The little guy spoke in a helpless tone, and Sun Wen's nose was sore and he almost shed tears. The apprentice was also a half-son, and the child was in such a difficult situation, but he could not help much.
I can only hope that Chang Chunfeng will let this matter go for the sake of the hard work that the mother and son have put in over the years.
But how easy is that?
He returned to his room safely and shook his head to stop thinking about the annoying thing for a while.
He took out the small wooden box, and the three books were in it. Xiao Wu promised to give them to him after he copied them, and it would be better if he copied two copies. The originals had to be kept well in the box.
Single copies are extremely precious. For medical books, it is best to copy two copies. For formation methods, it is not necessary to copy one copy for yourself.
After Xiao Wu and Lin Feng have mastered "Treading Snow Heart Sutra", whether to teach it to the other people should be considered after the master comes back. But he also has to tell the master about this matter, otherwise he will feel bad.
Taoist Priest Hu also brought back the blood letter, which was evidence. Apart from the twenty taels for Xiao Wu and Lin Feng, he would not touch the rest of the hundred taels of silver for the time being.
Except for the Stepping Snow Heart Sutra which is a bit thinner and easier to copy, the other two are relatively thick.
Moreover, all three books are accompanied by pictures, which also need to be drawn so that they are easier to understand.
Taoist Master Hu only said that the formation must not be passed on to outsiders, but he did not say that it must not be told to others. Master and sir said that it is okay to tell others, right?
Ping'an spread out the paper and start copying from tonight. All these books need to be written with a fine brush, and the pictures also need to be drawn with a fine brush. It will take a long time to copy all five books.
On a night in the mountains at the end of February, although the kang was still burning, the room was still a little cold. Ping'an rubbed his hands and began to grind ink. His best habit was to do what he said and never procrastinate. Being a top student also came about through hard work. Nothing in the world is so easy to get.
In the pharmacy, Wan Changsheng was reading a medical book under the lamp. He had been learning medicine from Uncle Sun for the past two months. He felt happy but also tired every day. Although he had some basic knowledge, it was only the simplest basic common sense. Really learning medicine was completely different matter.
He looked back at his wife, who was already fast asleep. The baby would be born in three months. Her belly was already big enough. Occasionally, she would pull his hand and let him feel the movement of the baby in her belly.
Every time at that time, his heart would be filled with blood boiling and he would feel an indescribable feeling. Perhaps that was the feeling of being a father.
He also loved Ping An very much and doted on him and loved him as if he were his own child, but after all, he had never experienced this kind of feeling before, as he had never interacted with him in the womb.
I don’t know if Ping An is asleep now, or if he misses home?
He has been feeling inexplicably uneasy these past two days. His wife is fine, and Ping An should be fine too. Mr. Sun has gone with them. Why don't he ask Manager Ge tomorrow? He should be able to deliver the message.
Erqiang is a little naughty, but he shouldn't be in any trouble. Wan Changsheng closed the book and decided not to read it tonight as he couldn't continue reading.
People are always inexplicably irritable. It would be best if family members were around and could watch over them every day. If that were the case, then the hardship and fatigue wouldn't matter.
