334 The Hao Brothers
As they were talking, two more people came in from outside.
"General, Madam, and Young Master." Both of them were heroic young men. Ping An recognized one of them as Hao Ting at a glance.
The other person looked about 60% like him, and was slightly older. Needless to say, it was Hao Lei.
"Sicheng and Ping'an should be able to recognize him." The general pointed at the younger one and said with a smile.
Ping An stepped forward and saluted: "Ping An greets Brother Hao, Brother Hao."
The Hao brothers hurriedly returned the gift.
The general said, "This is Sun Sicheng, the eldest son of Baicaotang, and this is Sun Wen, the teacher of Ping'an."
The Hao brothers also saluted Sun Sicheng and Sun Wen.
Mr. Huang smiled and said, "Father, let's invite Mr. Huang and Mr. Sun in."
The lady said hurriedly, "Yes, yes, please come in."
Ping An soon started chatting with the two brothers of the Hao family and the eldest son Huang. The eldest son Huang was about the same age as Hao Lei, in his early twenties, and currently worked in the Ministry of War.
During this conversation, I found out that the eldest brother of the Hao family is now serving as a sixth-rank official in the Kyoto Camp, and his actual superior is Wang Chufeng's father, Prince Jingguo, Wang Yuchu.
Hao Ting was with the general in the camp outside the capital, but now he was a centurion and a seventh-rank military officer.
"Didn't my godfather and godmother come to the capital?"
Hao Ting said, "Dad can't leave for the time being. He has to stay in the border town. If Dad doesn't leave, Mom and grandparents will naturally be reluctant to leave. My third and fourth brothers are still there. My eldest brother and I have bought a house in the capital. Please come home to visit one day."
"Of course. Ping An will definitely visit Big Brother and Second Brother someday."
Sun Sicheng, Sun Wen and Ping An went to visit the old lady first. The old general took people to the farm and went hunting in the nearby mountains, so they naturally didn't see anything.
Ping An received a lot of gifts.
Sun Sicheng also took out a gift for the Huang family, a perfect green jade ornament, which the old lady loved very much.
Ping An thought to himself that he didn't know how many of these things the master had bought. Thinking of this, he decided to write a letter to Chen Xuan one day. He knew his address, but he didn't know his own. That kid was really kind to him.
The old lady was extremely grateful to Sun Sicheng and Ping An for saving the general, and she also praised Sun Yat-sen for teaching such a sensible disciple, saying that he had taken all aspects into consideration and made people feel like spring breeze.
He is over sixty years old, but he speaks very precisely, which really opened Ping An's eyes. Compared with him, he is inferior to the general's wife.
"Mother, I'll take them to the big study room."
"Go ahead, go ahead. I'm old now, so I won't be dining with them anymore. You guys better keep the guests company."
"Yes, mother."
Huang Zhan said, "Father, mother, the three of us will accompany Ping An for a walk, and then we will go to my yard to sit for a while."
His yard is quiet. He is twenty-one years old and has already arranged his marriage. He has been waiting for his father to return and is planning to get married in December this year.
From the Hao brothers, he learned that Madam Hao and the old grandfather and old mistress are in good health now, but they often miss him, their godson and grandson.
This made Ping An feel very comfortable.
Mr. Huang's courtyard was quite nice. Several people sat in the courtyard, with the warm autumn sun shining overhead. There was a small table, four chairs, four cups of tea, and a kettle on the stove next to them was steaming.
At this moment, Ping An was at ease.
Hao Ting and others talked about the poisoning, but no one mentioned the night raid on the enemy camp.
This matter is actually tacitly known, and there is no way these people don't know about it.
But Ping An knew that they didn't mention it for his own good. The people of the Jue clan were too sinister. If they really knew that this matter was his, he was afraid that both the master and the disciple would not be able to live in peace in the future.
Ping An talked to them about poison and the current border town. He said that there would be no war for twenty years, but he was not really at ease.
What's more, the agreement was only made with the Mongolian tribe, and you never know when other small tribes might start to cause trouble with you.
Ping An agreed with this.
Finally, when talking about Mr. Huang's marriage, Ping An naturally agreed that he would definitely go to the wedding with his master.
Hao Lei's marriage was arranged before he came to Beijing last year. The other party is General Xu's daughter, who is now in the capital. It is so cold today that no one dares to go out.
During the conversation, Ping An learned that the second master of the Huang family was a civil servant. His whole family was now in Zhuzhou, and he held a high position as the governor of a state.
The old man is in good health and cannot stay at home. He is away for most of the year and never comes back until the New Year.
Ping An laughed, saying that this was the only way to live up to one's life. He was already in old age, so why not go out and see the world while he was still able to move and walk?
He will do the same in the future.
In the study.
The general was having a lively conversation with Sun Sicheng and Sun Yat-sen, but General Huang was surprised that he could get along so well with Sun Yat-sen.
He was able to talk astronomy, geography, and battlefield needs in a very knowledgeable and calm manner, without being anxious or impatient.
When hearing Sun Sicheng talk about how Sun Wen gave up on sending an official because Baicaotang had many affairs to attend to while he was in the border town, he couldn't help but say it was a pity.
This person has followed Sun Sicheng for more than ten years, and for the sake of the kindness he once showed, he was actually able to do this.
General Huang had a better impression of him. People in the military camp admired those who were loyal and righteous the most.
Sun Yat-sen felt a little embarrassed.
It is true that he was doing things for Baicaotang, but to some extent he was used to his freedom and did not want to be an official anymore.
When Sun Sicheng talked about the shortage of Youhua County in the suburbs of Beijing, the general nodded repeatedly: "Brother Sun, you can definitely go and give it a try. You don't have to follow one path to the end in life. How about trying another path? Isn't that what I am doing now?"
Sun Wen said: "The general has been stationed at the border for so many years, it is time for him to come back to rest and spend time with his family."
The general said yes repeatedly. His parents were old and his wife had been at home helping him take care of them all year round. She was no longer young and had white hair on her temples.
After thinking about it carefully, he realized that he should step down and take a break, but his son was not experienced enough, so Hao Feng had to do the hard work.
He didn't dare to hand over the 100,000 Huang family soldiers to others casually.
Even if he is not a member of the Huang family, he must be a reliable person.
"Sicheng, I want to ask you for a favor today. One is to help my mother and my wife take their pulses. The other is to help me check the illnesses of a few of my old subordinates in the capital when you are free. When you are free, I will have someone bring them to my house."
Sun Sicheng said, "I will help the old lady and the lady in a moment. As for the others, when the general is free, please send someone to Baicaotang to inform them one day in advance. I will basically be in the capital this year."
"That's good. That's good."
In the afternoon, Sun Sicheng, Sun Wen and Ping An came out with Ruyi and others.
Fortunately, the old lady and the lady only had some minor illnesses and they were fine after taking some medicine.
Less than half a month later, Sun Wen went to Youhua County to serve as the county magistrate, and Sun Sicheng gave him four guards.
The two sons of the Sun family were studying in the capital, so Xu naturally couldn't leave, and it was impossible to take all the guards in the house with her.
Fortunately, Youhua County is only half a day's drive away from the capital, making it convenient for people to go there and come back.
That's it, Ping An still can't bear to leave.
