261 Ping An was stunned
Chen Xuan drank porridge the next day, and Sun Sicheng also left him a menu for after the operation.
Sun Sicheng saw him in the morning and told the Chen couple who were waiting nearby that he had to leave early the next morning.
The Chen couple were so frightened that their faces turned pale.
"My dear, please stay a few more days. My son has had surgery, his flesh has been sutured, and his intestines have been cut. How can we rest assured without you?"
Mrs. Chen even burst into tears.
Sun Sicheng frowned: "To be honest, I am going to the border this time. Before going to the border, I have to stay in Yunzhou for a few days. I really don't have time to stay here."
Master Chen's eyes turned and he had an idea in mind: "Young Master, how about this? You stay for two days today and tomorrow. My son should be much better the day after tomorrow. We will use the best carriage in our house. The official road is basically smooth. My husband and I will take our son to Yunzhou with you. What do you think?"
Ping An heard this and thought, isn't this the same as Bai Jiaxuan back then? Both of them have the character "Xuan" in their names, but I don't know how Bai Jiaxuan is doing now. I heard that he went to study at the Imperial Academy. He is fifteen or sixteen years old this year. He should have passed the examination for a scholar, but I don't know if he will take part in the provincial examination.
already.
Sun Sicheng shook his head helplessly: "Master Chen, you really make it difficult for me. Fine, I will rest for one more day. In fact, Master Chen can also stay in Baicaotang. Now that the operation is completed, it is just postoperative treatment."
Seeing that Sun Sicheng had agreed, the couple just smiled and said nothing more.
He is indeed a very smart person, Ping An thought to himself.
"My dear Master, Master Ping An, let the old shopkeeper look after Xuan Er this afternoon. I will accompany you to my workshop to pick out some satisfactory ornaments."
Sun Sicheng said, "How can I be so embarrassed? I will take my apprentice to the shop to buy it when I have time."
Mr. Chen shook his head: "Why do you think so, young master? You saved the only root of my Chen family. My family is a jade mine. It's just a few stones. The jade craftsman is also from the family. You can't be polite to me."
Mrs. Chen also said, "What my master said is right. These are our own things. We didn't spend much. My son is the most important treasure of the Chen family. Besides, I didn't know that in the past two years, he made a lot of jade hairpins with leftovers. They are also very beautiful. It would be nice to bring more back to give as gifts."
Ping An opened his eyes wide. He had thought of all this. The Chen family was indeed good at doing business.
Chen Xuan noticed Ping An's sparkling eyes, and he smiled, "Ping An, I'll call you Ping An, okay? I'm fifteen years old, so I should be a few years older than you. Ask my dad to pick more. Don't be polite, my family's jade mine is the best here."
Ping An also laughed, and the Chen couple laughed out loud. The most important thing was that their son was happy. They had never seen their son like a young boy so much.
Ping An nodded and said, "Then I won't refuse. Thank you, Mr. Chen, Madam Chen, and Chen Xuan. It's nice to call me Ping An."
Chen Xuan smiled and said, "I'm not very good at studying, but I'm good at carving jade. I'll help you carve a good one later."
Ping'an raised the corners of his lips and was in a good mood. He had learned to carve things, but in his previous life he used machines and could not do it by hand.
"Then you are very good. I will draw two models for you later." He has learned painting from his teacher for the past two years. Although his painting is not very good, it is still pretty good for his age. It is easy for him to draw a model.
Sun Sicheng boasted, "My son Ping An is a very good student. He ranked first in both the county and prefectural examinations. He must be pissed off when he came out with me this time."
The Chen couple's eyes were full of envy. "So amazing? My God, he is already very good at using silver needles, but I didn't expect that he is also so good at studying. Master Ping An, please help me persuade my son Xuan to study harder."
Chen Xuan's face turned red, and Ping An was speechless. Master, there is no need to praise your apprentice at this time.
Madam Chen said, "Master, our Xuan'er is also a good student. He passed the imperial examination last year."
Sun Sicheng smiled and said, "That's great. I'll give Chen Xuan another acupuncture treatment to relieve the pain. The pain will be much better tomorrow. I'll give him something to eat later. Remember to eat small and frequent meals."
As soon as he took out the silver needle, Chen Xuan said, "Young Master, let Ping An do it. He is also very good at acupuncture."
Sun Sicheng was hoping for this, and it would be best if he could practice more safely.
Ping An took the needle with a smile, and after disinfecting the skin, he quickly and skillfully inserted nine needles with such experienced techniques that even Sun Sicheng had to sigh that this kid was simply a prodigy and his needle insertion was no less skilled than his.
"Well, I will go back to the inn with my apprentice. Your family members will still have to look after this place. I will ask the old shopkeeper to pay more attention to this place. If you have any questions, just call me. I will come to check it out in the afternoon."
Mr. Chen nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, you guys just go ahead and get busy. I'll wait for you here in the afternoon. We'll go check out the workshop in the afternoon."
Xiao Wu and He Jin were waiting in the medical hall.
After leaving the clinic, Sun Sicheng smiled at Ping An, "You can pick out more small items this afternoon, and one or two large items. Chen's mine is indeed the best here, and the workshop is the most prosperous. The family is large, with many guards and capable people. They are very successful businessmen.
It's a pity that his wife's body was damaged during childbirth and she can't have another child. The other concubines can't give birth to a son either. She gave birth to six daughters in her early years, but I heard that none of them can give birth in recent years."
Ping An immediately thought that maybe Madam Chen had given her husband something.
Of course, this is just a thought. What does other people's family affairs have to do with him?
In the afternoon, in the Chen family's workshop, no, to be precise, in the exhibition hall, one exquisite jade ornament after another made Ping An open his mouth wide.
What surprised him was not how good the style was, which could not be compared with many exquisite modern styles. What astonished him was the quality of the green jade, which was definitely not the bluestone as the master had mentioned.
Although it is called blue, in fact most of it is light blue, and some are moon white with some blue, as beautiful as a painting.
"Master Ping An, it looks beautiful, doesn't it? Qingyu is a type of Hetian jade, but it is not as valuable as Hetian jade.
My family's mine is good, and the jade is light green. Some people's mines are dark green, which is even less valuable and can only be used to make rough things.
Young Master, Young Master Ping An, you can pick whatever you like, I can afford it."
Chen Fugui was willing to give up his son's savior, not to mention that he also wanted to make friends with the eldest son. The eldest son was out of his reach, and it could be seen now that Master Ping'an was a rare talent. In time, he would be extraordinary. If his own Xuan'er could make friends with him, that would be a great thing.
His family has enough money and does not want to get any other benefits. He just hopes that one day in the future, if one of his family members is in poor health, he can be rescued by the other party. After all, people eat grains and cereals, so how can they not get sick?
Sun Sicheng and Ping An each picked out a good piece, and Chen Fugui gave them a lot of green jade jewelry. These were made of high-quality scraps and looked very exquisite. They were not much worse than Hetian jade when worn.
