161 Chang Chunfeng Returns Hometown
In the evening of the next day, Sun Sicheng and his party finally arrived at Yong'an Prefecture.
And everyone moved directly into the second courtyard of the Sun Mansion.
After arranging for Awu to live in the backyard, Sun Sicheng immediately asked Daniu to find Manager Ge.
"My Lord, Manager Ming has been leading people into the valley for over a month, and Valley Master Fang even visited Baicao Hall a few days ago, and everything is going well.
Sir, do you want me to send someone to notify Mr. Sun and the others?"
"Old Ge, I will accompany Lord Chang back to Jiao County tomorrow. It will take about twelve or thirteen days. After we leave, you send someone to notify Sun Wen, Wan Li and others to bring Ping An to live in the Sun Mansion.
In addition, the eldest lady lives in the backyard with her maid. During this period, your wife's main task is to lead people to take care of the affairs in the yard and take good care of the eldest lady.
After I leave tomorrow, when Wan Changsheng arrives at the medical clinic, tell him immediately about Lord Chang’s return to his hometown. Tell him not to worry and not to let his wife become suspicious. I will help him as much as possible.
Give this letter to Mr. Sun, and ask him to leave the valley in the next few days. When you teach Ping An in the morning, you can bring Miss with you, and ask Ping An not to return to the medicine shop for the time being."
Of course, Old Ge understood the eldest son's painstaking efforts, and this matter must not be let Ping'an's mother know.
No one said anything when she remarried after her husband died. But now she is back alive and well, and has passed the imperial examination and become a county magistrate in the suburbs of Beijing. However, the man she married is still an ordinary medical student. In the eyes of the world, the difference between them is obvious.
Chang Chunfeng and Yu Yang stayed in the guest room in the front yard.
"Brother Chang, I'm going home tomorrow. Do you want me to accompany you back home? I don't care how many days I stay at home."
Chang Chunfeng shook his head: "The eldest master agreed to go back with me. He was worried that I was too excited to handle it. You should go back to your hometown. I guess your family has already received the good news. Your parents and family are looking forward to your return."
"The eldest son is a really good person. We have troubled him a lot in the capital this time, and we don't know how to repay him. Brother Chang, after you have met my family, you can stay at my house for two days when you are free. It is only a day's journey from here. I will leave for Sanhe County to take up my post at the end of May.
Brother Chang, you have helped a lot by sending an official to the Zhang family this time. If you have ever been married, what should you do? "
Yu Yang vaguely remembered that Brother Chang was married, but it was a long time ago and he rarely heard him talk about it, so he always denied that he knew about it.
Chang Chunfeng closed his eyes, this matter kept churning in his mind.
The Zhang family is undoubtedly the best candidate for marriage. Both his father and brother are Jinshi (imperial examination candidates). Although their official positions are not very high, there is a difference between Beijing officials and local officials.
Miss Zhang is also a daughter of an official family who is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. If he really had a wife, a country woman could never compare with a lady from a noble family.
But because his original wife helped him take care of the elderly and raise the young, he could not do anything that violated ethics and morals.
"It's not difficult. We've already agreed that if I've ever been married, then forget it."
He would feel very sorry, but Miss Zhang probably wouldn't want to be a concubine. After all, a concubine is still a concubine and has to serve tea to the wife.
On the other hand, he had thought about it, but he couldn't do it and couldn't do it.
Yu Yang didn't say any more. He had a wife and two concubines. Concubines were nothing, but a wife was a wife, and a legitimate son was a legitimate son. They couldn't be confused.
The next day, Yu Yang thanked Sun Sicheng again and again, and said that he would send an invitation in a few days and asked him to bring his children to the banquet no matter what.
He bid farewell to Chang Chunfeng again. In this aspect, Yu Yang performed to perfection. Sun Sicheng could not help but sigh that he was born to be an official.
After seeing Yu Yang off, Sun Sicheng said, "Time is limited. Let's get going immediately. It will take at least four days to get to Jiao County. In fact, I recruited my apprentice in Jiao County. His father is a herbalist. His surname is Wan. I don't know exactly where he lives."
"Oh? That's a coincidence. Where's your apprentice? You're not bringing him this time?"
Sun Sicheng shook his head: "I haven't seen you for half a year. Let's go and learn how to make medicine from a master."
He looked back again, but of course he didn't see the little girl. As soon as Awu arrived in the backyard yesterday, she threw herself on the kang, saying that she needed to have a good sleep for two days.
After a long journey of more than 20 days, Awu was still very tenacious, which is very similar to Ping'an.
Ping An, do you know that Master has put a lot of thought into your life?
He had disdained this before.
Chang Chunfeng didn't sleep well last night. He kept thinking about how to solve the Zhang family's problem. A small county magistrate is right under the nose of the capital. If a sixth or seventh rank official is sincere in confronting you, there is no way to avoid it.
It's not necessarily true that he regretted agreeing to this matter, because his An County was much better than Yu Yang's Sanhe County.
If someone is willing to help and does something practical, it will be noticed by the relevant departments and they will be promoted much faster than officials in remote places.
Chang Chunfeng closed his eyes soon after the carriage got on the official road while being slightly bumpy. In his dream, he really saw his parents for the first time. The two old people were holding a big red wedding announcement, and they seemed to be very happy, and kept clamoring to hold a buffet.
His pretty wife kept smiling, as if whatever her parents-in-law said was fine.
He felt warm in his heart and subconsciously looked for his son. He searched the entire yard but couldn't find him. On the opposite side of the mountain road, a pile of firewood was slowly moving towards the house, but he could only see the firewood but not the person.
Suddenly the young woman came forward and helped move the firewood to a corner of the yard. He then saw a thin young man who looked very much like himself, no longer the smiling baby.
The young boy looked at him coldly and walked away with his mother. He tried desperately to catch up with them, but it was impossible. When he returned to the house to look for his parents, there was no one in the house.
I was the only one left in the whole yard.
Chang Chunfeng was suddenly awakened by his dream, his heart beating "thump thump" in his chest.
What does this dream mean?
The first time he truly saw his parents’ faces, he felt as if he had been given a magical powers, and his past memories came flooding back one after another.
When he was a child, he went to Hecun Xiucai to learn for the first time. When he was a teenager, he went to the county school for the first time. When he was thirteen years old, he took the county examination and the prefectural examination. His parents proudly listened to people calling him "little boy".
It turned out that he had passed the county examinations and the prefectural examinations and ranked very high. But before the imperial examination at the age of fifteen, his grandfather fell seriously ill and passed away, so he had to observe mourning.
Because of his grandfather's illness, the family's financial situation declined further, and his father's health also began to deteriorate. His mother asked someone to marry him to Mei Niang from He Village.
It turns out that his first wife was called Mei Niang.
The next year, Mei Niang gave birth to a big fat boy. Because of this child, his father's health improved a lot, so he named the child Chang Shun, nicknamed Dashunzi.
He was not very satisfied with this wife. She was a little different from what he had always imagined her to be, but he didn't dislike her too much. In several nearby villages, Mei Niang's appearance was one of the best. It was not an exaggeration to say that she was a beauty.
Mei Niang seemed to know that he despised her for not being well-educated, so after they got married, she took the books, paper and pens he had used and learned a lot of Chinese characters in three years. She could recite the Three Character Classic fluently, and often the mother and daughter would recite a few sentences each.
Chang Chunfeng felt fulfilled all of a sudden, as he now had a wife and children.
Mei Niang, Dashun, from now on, I will treat you and your son well, and will let you live a better life than you can imagine.
