325 is a big deal
Huo Zhi bandaged Ping An and Lin Feng's wounds in the car. They looked scary, but actually they were just some broken skin.
"Ping An, we are the only ones who know about your wound. I will wrap it up for you in the next two days. The horse owner seems to be quite someone of high status. He has made great contributions and has worked hard. We should at least do a favor for such a person."
Ping An smiled, Huo Zhi was right.
But he didn't intend to make a big deal of the injury, a favor had to be done, and it might also raise some people's eyebrows.
"Brother Huo, Brother Zhiyuan, today we have owed you a favor, but we may also be in trouble. The horse was fed, and there are some secrets in the backyard."
Zhiyuan and Huo Zhi didn't say anything. This was indeed the case.
Ping An sighed, "I still don't like it here. It's more comfortable to live in Yong An."
Huo Zhi said, "I regret it too. Actually, it's enough for me to be a scholar. My father and his family always want me to pass the imperial examination. My eldest brother is a Jinshi and has been appointed an official. I am obviously the one who takes on the burden of the family. Passing the imperial examination is nothing but icing on the cake."
Zhiyuan said in a low voice, "I don't like it here either, but the teachers at the Imperial College are indeed the best in the Great Zhou."
He is seventeen years old this year. He passed the imperial examination last year but ranked average, so his father asked him to take part in the provincial examination three years later. He was not planning to take part in it in October this year, otherwise he would have returned to Yong'an by now.
"Brother Zhiyuan, don't tell me about this when you get home. If you tell me, the master will worry. I will pass by your yard in the morning three days later. It's just a few of us, so there's no need for many carriages."
Zhiyuan nodded.
He only had a horse carriage and a mule cart, but they were later placed on the farm because his parents didn't want to buy more. These things were convenient to use but troublesome when not in use. Besides, his father didn't need the family car when he went out.
After safely seeing Zhiyuan off, he took Huo Zhi back to the villa. After washing, he had to apply medicine again and disinfect the broken skin areas.
Da Wu felt so guilty when he saw that his young master was injured. He should put down what he was doing and go with Lin Feng to pick him up.
Ping An laughed, "This is an accident. What could happen in broad daylight? Lin Feng can answer it alone. You guys have a lot of things to do during this period."
These are the people Huo Zhi envied the most for his peace.
He has a lot of people, but none of them are as outstanding as Ping An and others. No, he has to find some more capable and loyal people.
Huo Zhi went back early the next morning. During the three-day holiday, he had to visit various industries. It would not be easy to be the future head of a family.
Ping'an finished his breakfast slowly at home. It was still early to go to the clinic. Practicing martial arts for half an hour every morning consumed a lot of his energy, but he couldn't stop practicing martial arts easily. People are lazy. Once they stop, they will stop more often.
"Master, there's someone coming to the door. It's the horse owner from yesterday, who brought his housekeeper and some gifts. I'm here for you, sir." Lin Feng came over to report.
"Got it. Please let them in." Since there were no adults at home, he could just meet them at the door and there was no need to meet them in the yard.
Ping An walked to the door and just saw Wang Chufeng coming over with his housekeeper, smiling. He didn't move his feet, and two servants followed behind him, both carrying things.
"Brother Wan, we are fellow students of the Imperial Academy, so we came here uninvited."
"Brother Wang, right? Please come in."
As soon as the two of them sat down, Wang Chufeng asked the housekeeper to put down the things in his hands and wait in the yard.
"Look at you, you're here, why bring so many things?"
Da Wu gave each of the three people a red envelope, one tael to the butler, and one cent to the other two, no more.
"Brother Wan, I was so grateful to you yesterday. Otherwise, although I was fine, if I had hurt other students, the consequences would have been serious. My parents went to Jiangnan, and my grandfather went to Zhuangzi. Otherwise, if this happened, the adults in my family would have to come forward to thank you."
Ping An waved his hands: "Why do you need all this? It's just a small favor. There's something wrong with your horse. It's very dangerous even if you take it to the street."
Wang Chufeng smiled bitterly: "After returning, I consulted my uncle. The horse ate the convulsion grass and was hit by stones. It suddenly became irritable. It seems that someone does not want me to be well. I won't talk about this anymore. It makes me upset.
By the way, your Qinggong yesterday was amazing, my uncle can do it a little bit, but he is not as good as you, my uncle is from Dali Temple, he is the Dali Temple Secretary. "
The Dali Temple Secretary is a fifth-rank official.
Ping'an thought about it and realized that it was exactly Uncle Zhang's immediate superior, Uncle Zhang being a sixth-rank official.
"Then he is very powerful. My kung fu is just so-so, not that good."
"You are too modest. I don't know about your other skills, but your Qinggong is definitely not bad. Brother Wan, my staff skills are also very good, and my knife skills are average. How about I teach you the staff skills and you teach me Qinggong?"
Ping An knows some stick techniques, but not well enough. It’s not that he cannot be taught ordinary light skills, but he just doesn’t need to teach the Snow-Treading Steps.
"Brother Wang, let's talk about this later. Have some tea."
"Brother Wan, you won first place today, but it made someone very angry. He thought he was sure to win first place."
Ping An frowned: "I just came to the capital, I don't know anything, I don't know whose way I am blocking?"
"My eldest cousin, today's second place, thinks he has good literary talent. The capital is so big that there are always people who are better than you."
Ping An then remembered that the second place winner was a boy about his age. He disliked the boy for no reason at first sight because he looked well-dressed.
He said nothing more.
"Let me introduce myself. I am the eldest grandson of Lord Jingguo. If you are free tomorrow, I would like to invite you to my home to play."
Ping An was a little surprised, as the person's background was quite important.
However, he didn't show it on his face, which made Wang Chufeng look at him with even higher regard.
"I'm sorry, I can't do that for now. I have to follow my master in practicing medicine for the next two days. I have an operation to perform soon."
Wang Chufeng stood up and said, "Your master is the eldest son of Baicaotang and is also familiar with my father. I will go back today. I heard people call you Ping An. I should be older than you. From now on, I will call you Ping An, okay?"
Ping'an's lips curled up. This child is a good person, with clear and bright eyes.
It is possible to make friends with the eldest grandson of Duke Jingguo. People have to grow up and cannot be without friends, especially friends who can help.
His peace is so realistic.
"I'm fourteen years old, so I should be younger than you. Just call me Ping An. People who are familiar with me call me that."
Wang Chufeng laughed: "I am two years older than you. I have three older sisters and no brothers. From now on, you will be my brother."
He took out a purse from his pocket and said, "Please give this to the guard from yesterday. I'm going back today and can't delay you. I'll contact you later."
As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed out of the door in a hurry.
Ping An smiled and said that people with this kind of personality were generally very nice, so he chased after her.
