466 Master's Little Green Plum
Ping'an and the others had not expected that it would snow heavily all night. When they woke up in the morning, they were all dumbfounded. There was a thick layer of snow on the ground and there was still heavy snow in the sky.
"Young Master, I'm afraid we can't go on in this weather. We are familiar with this road. The next big inn is quite far from here. If we are delayed even a little, we will have to spend the night on the road. This weather is not a good option." Wanli was a little worried.
The snow fell a little early. It’s not even the twelfth lunar month yet. It would be okay if it fell earlier, but it would be troublesome if it fell this heavily.
"Tell the shopkeeper that I'm afraid I won't be able to leave for the next two or three days. I'll continue to live in my original room, and the women and children's rooms will continue to have their meals delivered to them three times a day."
"Okay, I'll have He Jin take people to the county town to buy a few more quilts. Each carriage must have thick quilts, and the drivers must also buy extra cotton clothes."
Sun Sicheng didn't care about these things.
He thought there was only one layer on the ground and it would not hinder the carriage's movement, but he did not expect this to be the case in the second half of the night.
Ping'an told his mother and younger brothers and sisters that he would continue to stay in the inn.
"Mom, Master is familiar with this road. We can't leave today. Otherwise, it will be difficult to get to the next inn to stay at night. The roadside B&B can't accommodate so many of us."
"It's okay. This inn is comfortable to live in and the kang is warm. But I can't stay here for several days in a row. I can't stay here all the time. How are your father and uncle?"
"My father said he will come to see you in a while, and uncle is fine too."
"Leng Yue, Tong Miao and the others have children with them. I don't know if they have enough supplies. Please ask Er Qiang and Xiao Wu to check on them more often."
Ping An smiled and said, "They are all fine. They are just as comfortable here as you are. Don't worry. The two children are sleeping like pigs. We can't wake them up even if we talk like this. Mom, I'm going to go back and read."
"Go ahead, sit on the kang with Sanqiang and Zhou Heng and read. The weather is too cold, and you can't get sick on the way."
Here, Zhu Mei heard from the maid that the eldest master's people would not leave today, saying that the next inn was a bit far away and it might be difficult to get there in this weather.
"Nurse, go tell Butler Zhu that everyone should stay at the inn. I have already made an appointment with the eldest master and will follow his motorcade."
"I see."
The wet nurse hurried downstairs, sighing in her heart, "Miss, please don't be confused. No matter how good the eldest master is, he already has a family. Instead of being a good wife, is he going to leave and become a concubine?"
The young lady tossed and turned all night last night and couldn't sleep well. She had watched the eldest daughter grow up and her heart was as clear as a mirror. She could only hope that after returning home, the old lady would persuade her to live a stable life with her son-in-law.
What's wrong with a concubine's son? Logically speaking, it is still good to register the eldest young master under your name. You can keep the son-in-law and have a mother-son relationship. The young lady is already married, and even if she is not married, she is not close to the young lady at all.
Zhu Mei did have some thoughts on her side. Sun Sicheng was attracted to her back then, otherwise he would not have asked his parents to propose marriage to her family.
I was considered as beautiful as a flower in the capital city back then, and I was good at everything from playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Unfortunately, I didn't listen to my father and learn medicine, otherwise I might not have ended up being childless for the rest of my life.
There is no turning back in life, and all helplessness can only be buried in your heart.
If possible, she would be willing to marry Sun Sicheng. Marry? Zhu Mei's heart suddenly trembled.
Although she is thirty-six years old, because she only gave birth to a daughter when she was young and did not raise her herself, and she also pays attention to health preservation, some people would believe if she said she was twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old now.
If Sun Sicheng wanted to, she would be willing to divorce Wen Wei. She didn't care too much about it. It was enough for her to be a co-wife. A co-wife was still a wife. Besides, she could no longer give birth, so she would not compete with the first wife for anything.
Now that the heavy snow prevents her from traveling, maybe God takes pity on her and gives her a chance to start over, allowing her to test Sun Sicheng's heart.
Zhu Mei sat up, her eyes burning with anger.
Over the years, she no longer had the affection she once had for her husband, and her husband was the same, becoming increasingly cold toward her.
Now it seems that there is no comparison between the Wen family and the Sun family.
"Hongye, go find the eldest master and tell him that I'm not feeling well. Can you ask him to come over and see me?"
She was indeed feeling a little unwell, and there was no exaggeration about that. She had been suffering from a cold for almost two days, but the condition was not very serious after she took medicine.
Since he couldn't leave, Zhou Heng went to Ping'an's room, planning to read a book with Ping'an, Chen Xuan and Sanqiang. The second master of the Sun family was a little too enthusiastic. He was a very good person, but some people could not stand him.
"You guys read first. I'll go out and see if there's anything delicious. Or maybe we can ask the shopkeeper to prepare a few pots of Chinese food. That way it'll be warmer on a snowy day, right?"
Chen Xuan smiled: "I was thinking the same thing, thank you for your help."
Ping'an ordered lunch with the shopkeeper. They had several tables, and the food was delivered to the room. Each table had two pots, and they didn't want anything else. In winter, meat is cheaper than vegetables, so it would be better to roast some chicken and duck, and stew some dried vegetables with pork ribs.
As soon as I walked into the door of the master's room, I saw a maid turning around and leaving at the door. This girl seemed to be the wife who spoke to the master yesterday.
"Master, what does this girl want from you? Is someone sick?"
Sun Siyuan looked at Ping An and smiled: "Your master has met an old friend."
Sun Sicheng's face darkened: "What should I tell the child?"
Why is Ping An afraid of the Master?
He was busy pestering his uncle and asked, "Second Uncle, didn't the master say that he was just an acquaintance in the capital?"
Sun Siyuan laughed: "What acquaintance? She was almost your master's wife?"
"Oh?" Ping An was shocked. "Is that true? Then she is Master's childhood sweetheart."
Sun Siyuan was overjoyed: "Ping An, why aren't you my son-in-law? I really like you, hahahaha, haha."
Sun Sicheng glared at her: "You really said everything? Some things can be said carelessly? You are over 30 years old, what do you look like? Ping An, don't listen to your uncle's nonsense, she just feels a little uncomfortable, let me go and check her out."
Ping An waved his hands hurriedly: "No, no, Master, you can't go. If you go to the room, and it's an old friend, some things won't be clear. I have to keep an eye on you for Master's wife."
"Hahaha, hahaha, I'm safe, so safe, hahaha." Sun Siyuan fell down laughing.
Sun Sicheng couldn't help laughing: "What are you thinking about? I'll tell the maid to ask her master to go to the hall downstairs for the diagnosis."
"Master, I have to go. It's just a minor problem. Isn't it enough for me, the little medical saint appointed by the emperor himself, to handle it?"
Sun Sicheng didn't want to go at all. He had had that kind of experience in the past, and it would be better to see it less often.
"Okay, go ahead. Just call her Madam Wen."
Ping'an turned around and walked out of the room to get his medicine box.
"Brother, I really like this kid. I was the first one to tell you that I wanted him to be my son-in-law. He was only eight or nine years old at that time, right?"
"Siyuan, I'm warning you for the last time. Don't say this again. In Ping An's first year with me, I planned to marry Awu to him. What's so early?"
