386 Leaving Yingtian
Chen Xuan was delighted. He really wanted to go to Minzhou to have a look, but he had no acquaintances there.
Ping'an just happened to want to go, and there was a perfect opportunity, plus he knew a wealthy family there, so it was like a blessing from heaven. His father was right, Ping'an was his benefactor.
"It's getting late. You can bring the ornaments to Old Master Wang later. I'll be leaving soon."
Ping An held him back and said, "Take the gift. I'll take you over and have dinner with you. If you have any troubles in Yingtian in the future, you can come to the Wang family for help. They will help you for my sake as long as it's not against the law or morality."
Chen Xuan nodded repeatedly, feeling very sad.
It's not easy to be a businessman, especially for a businessman like him who travels far away. He has no support here. The Wang family has a respected status in Yingtian. With this relationship, at least he will be protected.
He is a legitimate businessman, how could he not abide by the law?
The two talked as they walked.
Ping An asked: "You are only seventeen years old this year, and you are doing well in your studies. Why are you in such a hurry to start a business?"
"Ping An, I passed the imperial examination last year, but my ranking was average. Unfortunately, my father sprained his foot, and it will take a hundred days for the injury to heal. I helped him run around, and I didn't put down my books, but the best I can do is become a juren, and that will be many years later.
In fact, I would be satisfied with the title of scholar. If I could pass the imperial examination before I turned 30, I would be extremely satisfied. "
The Wang family was not surprised at all that Ping An brought Chen Xuan.
The old man accepted the ornaments given by Chen Xuan and liked them very much. This made Chen Xuan regretful. Why didn’t he give one more to the master and mistress?
Chen Xuan had dinner and left at dusk. He promised to come again at the end of the month. Ping An promised to give him a few more drawings. Only good drawings can make the green jade more exquisite and spiritual, and the price will even double.
After Chen Xuan left, Ping An opened the backpack.
Wow, there are a total of thirty pieces of green jade jewelry, including two medium-sized ornaments. Both the jade material and the carving are very good.
He was going to take these back with him.
Chen Xuan said that he would come over at the end of the month and give the master another ornament, and said that if he liked it, he would come over at the end of the month and take him to the shop to choose.
In that case, he would go over and pick out a few pieces. He would pay for them, but Chen Xuan would definitely give him a discount.
A few days later, Mr. Ma and his sons and the three members of the Chen family all returned. Both families were very grateful and refused to accept any more money they were given.
He has already received the money, so if he gives more, it would be too much. He loves money, but he gets it in a proper way. People should not be greedy.
There were still a few days left before the end of the month, and the old man was like a child. He would even sit next to Ping An and listen when Ping An was in class. So Ping An simply moved to the old man's yard.
I would talk to him about border matters, his parents, the regrets in his heart, and also talk about my confusion and helplessness. For example, when I get married in a few years, my mother and stepfather must attend. What about my biological father and stepmother?
The old man held his hand and analyzed everything to him softly, but he would not tell him directly what to do. He still had to make the decision himself.
At this time, Ping'an sometimes couldn't help but lean on the old man and ask him to live well and bring his wife to meet him after he got married.
What Ping An didn't know was that after he fell asleep, the old man would look at him quietly and then sigh. He also wanted to live a good life and even teach Ping An's children in the future.
He had three sons and two daughters in his life, so the third and fourth generations together made quite a few children, but none of them was as close to him as Ping'an, as if they were his own flesh and blood.
Ping'an stayed for three months this time. It was more like a stay for him to recuperate his body rather than letting his eldest son teach him his lessons. He also recuperated the health of his son and daughter-in-law. Now he feels much more relaxed and doesn't feel tired even when walking around the street.
The old man really didn't want to let Ping An go, but no matter how reluctant he was, this day finally came.
Huo Zhi returned to the Wang family two days ago. The manager of the clinic finally took over and all the nearby businesses were checked and found to be fine. He looked exhausted. The father and son of the Wang family could only sigh. It was a natural mission. What else could others say?
The old man held Ping'an's hand and was reluctant to let go for a long time.
Finally, Ping An promised that he would come here in two years at most and stay for at least half a year. Only then did the old man reluctantly ask him to leave.
Ping An knelt down with a thud and bowed three times to the old man and the eldest master, and Huo Zhi followed suit.
"Grandmaster, Sir, and Madam, I am going back safely. Please take care of yourselves, or I will nag you endlessly when I come back."
Master Wang waved his hand and said, "Let's go, let's go. Don't blame me when you can't stay in the inn. Let's go."
Wait until the safe car leaves the hospital.
After a while, the old man sighed and wiped his eyes: "Old people are sentimental, I didn't expect that I am the same. This child is too good and too loyal. I really can't bear to let him go."
"Dad, Ping An didn't say he would come in two years at most. He will write to us as soon as the results of the college entrance examination are out. I will write to him next year to urge him to come."
Master Wang felt lost. After his students left, he was afraid that he would not be able to adjust well in the short term and completely forgot that he was a university scholar. Many people wanted to study with him, even if it was just to give him occasional guidance, but he rejected them all.
The eldest lady was also feeling bad. Ping An had been here for more than three months, almost a hundred days. He had taken good care of the health of the whole family, and he even prepared some of the medicated foods himself, for fear that the properties of the medicine would change.
How can such a child not be his grandson?
After leaving Wang's house safely, He Jin had already been waiting on the road with his men. Huo Zhi would go with him halfway, and then they would separate to go to Jiangnan halfway. The two of them had more than 20 men under their command and five or six carriages.
Huo Zhi squeezed onto the safe car.
She reached out and snatched the book from his hand: "Ping An, talk to me. It won't be long before you and I are going to part ways. We don't know what we will meet again. You told me you would go to Jiangnan, right? You can't fool me."
Ping An laughed: "Brother, why should I tease you? Jiangnan is so beautiful, I will definitely go there more often."
Huo Zhi smiled and said, "That's good, Ping An. I'll buy you a big house near my home when I get back. I'll give it to you as a gift."
Ping An sighed helplessly, "What do I want you to give me? A big house is not a gift, and it's not cabbage. I can buy it myself."
Huo Zhi felt wronged: "Ping An, the house is a gift. You saved me twice, and I never gave you money or other gifts for this. I just thought that you and I are brothers, and the younger brother saved the older brother, so why should I give you a thank-you gift?
But the house is different. I want you to live next to me in Jiangnan. Occasionally I can go to your house and live and eat with you. The money for a house is nothing to you, and it is nothing to me too."
Ping An firmly refused. Huo Zhi agreed on the surface, but in his heart he thought that as soon as he returned, he would ask someone to find a house near his home. A third house was necessary. Maybe Ping An would like Jiangnan in the future and live here for a long time.
Poor guy, he was only in his twenties and it was the first time in his life that he wanted to give away a house with such sincerity, but was firmly rejected.
It's really not easy for Huo Zhi.
