310 Xiao Wu and Xiao Shan got married
When Ping'an returned home and told his parents and uncle about his plan, he found that no one at the table was saying a word.
"Uncle, father, mother, the master helped me buy a farm, and built many small courtyards on the farm. The people I brought with me also have places to live. If you don't like living in the city, you can stay in the houses in the city occasionally, but mainly live in the farm. The master said that it takes less than half an hour to drive from the farm to the city, which is not much farther than this. Mother can also visit more with the master's wife."
Sun Hongyu said, "It's safe. Uncle doesn't care. I'll go wherever you go. But you'll have to take the college and provincial exams here in the future. If we leave, it won't be convenient for you to come back and take the exams later."
Wan Changsheng nodded hurriedly: "Ping An, your uncle is right, I almost forgot this, you go to the capital alone this time, and next year you will take the college entrance examination. If you pass, you will take the provincial examination soon. We will wait until you pass the provincial examination before going, okay?"
Ping An was silent.
He has a good chance of passing the college entrance examination, so it won't be difficult if he doesn't fight for a ranking.
But the provincial examination is not easy. Even if he passes the examination and becomes a scholar next year, he will only be fifteen years old. It is impossible for him to take the provincial examination again. It will take at least three years.
"Uncle, father, mother, the master is still thinking of taking me to the Yingtian Wang family after the affairs in the capital are settled, and let Master Wang teach me for more than half a year, and then come back before the college entrance examination. I still want you to go to the capital and live in a different environment. You can come back later if you want."
Wan Changsheng was somewhat tempted. After all, this manor belonged to the eldest son. He also had a manor on the outskirts of the city, but he had never lived there as it was not as convenient as here, so he had now entrusted it to Lao Ge to take care of it.
He has studied medicine for several years and can cure common diseases and injuries. After another two years of studying with Uncle Sun, he will be almost a master. If it is his own farm, he can practice medicine and grow medicinal herbs and even fruit trees at the same time.
But he knew that his wife didn't want to go to that place because that person was there.
In fact, after so many years, he has come to terms with it. Everyone has their own family and they rarely run into each other. Even if they do, so what? No one owes anyone anything.
"Don't rush about this. You guys think about it. I have something to discuss with you. I plan to arrange a wedding for Xiao Wu and Xiao Shan in the next few days. Xiao Wu's fiancée is Tong Miao, who has been helping to take care of Xi'er in my home all these years. Xiao Shan's fiancée's surname is Qian, and she is also the eldest son's person. Of course, after the wedding, they will all be members of our family."
Mei Niang was shocked and said, "Child, how big of a deal is marriage? You didn't tell me beforehand, and you didn't prepare anything. How can you be in time?"
Ping An couldn't say anything else: "Mother, I want to get them married on the sixth day of next month. Today is the twenty-sixth, so there are still ten days before and after. The courtyard is ready, so it will be ready very quickly. I'm worried that when I go to the capital next month, there will be a lot of things to do, and their marriage will be delayed again."
"My wife, this is not difficult to prepare, but my son, do they know about this?"
Ping An shook his head and said, "I just thought of this today. I mentioned it to my master and my husband this morning, and they all agreed that it's feasible. If it's not possible, we can do it next year."
Mei Niang smiled and said, "The person who is going to get married doesn't know yet. Ping An, you can discuss it with Xiao Wu and Xiao Shan tomorrow. Xiao Shan is not here yet."
That night, Ping An found Tong Lin, Tong Miao and Xiao Wu. All three were willing. Xiao Wu was 22 years old and Tong Miao was 18 years old, so they were old enough.
But Tong Miao was a little hesitant: "Master Ping'an, my brother hasn't married yet, isn't it a bit bad for me, as his younger sister, to get married first?"
Tong Lin blushed: "What's wrong with that? Don't mind my business."
Ping An smiled and said, "I have my own arrangements for their marriages. It will take only the next two to three years. I will gradually find some female doctors. Tong Miao will no longer have to help at home. Some patients are inconvenient for us men alone, and we need women with good medical skills."
The master's words were very clear. If his people got married, the other party would definitely be one of his own.
Xiao Wu and the others all understood this. Whose servant would look for another family? If it was really hard to find one, they could only stay alone.
Lin Feng went to the Medical Valley, and Xiaoshan followed him that afternoon with his mouth wide open. Master Qin also came with him.
Ping An gave Xiao Wu, Xiao Shan and Tong Miao sixty taels each on the spot, and said that he would be responsible for buying daily necessities for the courtyard. However, as mentioned earlier, he would most likely go to the capital soon, so the place here could only be ordinary. No matter how good the things were, it would be a waste if they were left empty.
Master Qin said that he was the one who bought Xiaoshan's things. He had a lot of surplus over the years. Xiaoshan was his only apprentice, so he had to spend some money.
"That's fine. I still say the same thing. Don't buy too many things. I may have to go to the capital next month. I don't know when I will be back. Tong Miao will leave my house. My mother will take care of the details."
After discussing the marriage, Master Qin took Ping An aside.
"Master Ping'an, I have something I want to discuss with you. Xiaoshan is my only disciple. A master and a disciple are like father and son. I have no children in my life. My wife passed away a few years ago. Now she is fifty years old. I want to spend the rest of my life with Xiaoshan and his family.
If you agree to this, I will tell the eldest master. There are many talented people in Medicine Valley who can make medicine now. It doesn't matter whether I am there or not. I think the eldest master will agree."
Of course he is willing to live in peace like this. Master Qin can be said to be the best in medicine making skills. Even if Xiaoshan follows him, he still has a lot to learn.
"Master Qin, as long as you agree, I'm willing to do it. Is this not good? Am I stealing your girlfriend?"
Master Qin laughed and said, "Master Ping'an, the eldest master treats you like his own child. Besides, I am not leaving, so I am still with you. My indenture is still in the name of the eldest master."
Ping An nodded: "Okay, then you tell the master first, and I will also mention this to the master."
Unexpectedly, when Master Qin brought up the matter the next day, Sun Sicheng agreed on the spot. He only hinted that it could be changed to Ping'an's name, but all the Sun family's prescriptions were in the pharmacy master's mind and could not be taken out.
Master Qin shook his head and said, "I have no plans to change my master, and I have no plans to go out. I just want him to follow Xiaoshan wherever he goes. Otherwise, if Xiaoshan goes to the capital, it is still unknown whether the master and disciple can meet again in the future."
Only then did Sun Sicheng realize that Master Qin must have heard Ping An's intention to take his men to the capital, which made Master Qin anxious.
This is good too. With Master Qin and Xiaoshan around, I can make new medicines at any time.
July 6th.
Xiaowu and Xiaoshan got married in two adjacent courtyards. The wedding banquet was very lively. Only Erqiang, Wu Jun and Wang Quan could not be present, so the wedding banquets for the two couples were held at the farm. All these expenses were paid by Ping An.
Master Qin also moved into the small courtyard, and the affairs in the medicine valley were officially handed over to other masters.
Because of the hot weather, Sun Sicheng discussed with Sun Wen and others and changed the departure date to early August, which was a month later.
Ping An thought about it and decided to let Lin Feng and Tong Lin make the trip. No matter what, he had to talk to Er Qiang and the others. If they didn't go with them, they could just stay at home for a few more months and come back for the annual college entrance examination. Otherwise, when they returned to the provincial capital, they would find that everyone had left.
This is not good.
This would also allow Lin Feng to return to Tianguang Temple to see the old abbot and pay his respects to his family.
Wenzhu also sent a letter by carrier pigeon.
It depends on their own choice.
