468 Men are still mostly cold and indifferent
After a day's rest, the snow stopped falling. The snow on the ground was about two inches thick, so the carriage could still move.
"Wanli, go tell the Zhu family's steward that they are few in number and it is best not to travel with us. We are many in number and need to hurry to the next big inn. They don't have to hurry so much, there are still many small inns along the road."
"Yes, I'll go tell them right away. It's still dark outside, so they may not be up yet."
When they saw the snow stopped at midnight last night, they informed the shopkeeper and Gao Qing had prepared breakfast for them today, including steamed buns for lunch. They didn't have to eat them necessarily, but it was just to be prepared.
After breakfast, Wan Changsheng knocked on his wife's door. The woman and children were still having breakfast in the room. Soon, the two children were carried downstairs by him and Ping'an.
Mei Niang wrapped herself tightly, and smiled bitterly at Tong Miao and the others: "You will all take the children to my carriage later. My carriage is safe, big and sturdy, and it is well padded."
Tong Miao, Leng Yue and Leng Shui all nodded. This time when they returned to the capital, they would not follow their husbands out for a short time.
Xiaowu's child is the oldest, he is four years old this year, and plays best with Pingxuan. Erqiang and Tonglin's children are only two years old.
Ping'an carried all five children into a carriage, and Mei Niang, Xi'er and Tong Miao sat on both sides.
"Lengshui, just close the car doors and windows, leaving a little gap in the front so that some light can shine through."
"Understood, Master."
The one driving the carriage was Xiao Wu. He would take turns driving with Er Qiang, Tong Lin and others. They would wrap themselves tightly in leather coats, so they would not be cold. The young master had prepared enough winter clothes and boots for them, so they were very warm.
Sun Siyuan's three-year-old son Changze cried and wanted to go to Pingxuan's place, but Ma did not agree. Mei Niang's car was full, and with so many children, they would easily fight.
"Zer, you didn't sleep well, did you? They are sleeping too. Let's go after they wake up, okay? If you cry again, uncle will get angry when he comes."
Changze was not afraid of anyone except his uncle. He pouted and nodded.
Ma quickly carried her son into the car. None of her children were afraid of their husband, but when they saw their uncle, they did not dare to act willfully.
Manager Zhu informed the eldest lady that he did not want to leave in such weather.
Zhu Mei stood up quickly: "Let's go, the Sun brothers are doctors, so we can feel more at ease on the road."
Her enthusiasm came and went quickly, and after thinking about it all night, she decided to do nothing for the time being and wait until she arrived in the capital.
What the wet nurse said made sense. She still had her parents' family and couldn't let them lose face. It would be better for them to get a divorce. If she was divorced, she might not even have the last resort with her parents' family.
Her daughter is not good to her, her own mother, but she cannot drag her daughter down. If a really bad reputation spreads, the first person to be hurt will be her daughter. She is a newlywed and her life in her husband's family will not be easy.
When Sun Sicheng saw that all his men were in place, he set off immediately.
It’s enough for Zhu Mei to notify them. It’s their business whether they leave or not.
He thought about it last night and decided that it would be better to be more careful. After all, they had that kind of past. In fact, he did not have any feelings for this person back then. It was just that the fathers of the two families had a good relationship and they were both doctors, so they were considered a good match. When his father mentioned it, he agreed. He was only sixteen or seventeen years old at that time. What could he understand?
Later, the other party disagreed, and he felt a little unhappy. After all, he was good in everything, but was rejected. But he soon forgot about it and quickly decided on his current wife.
By the time Zhu Mei and the others came out, Sun Sicheng's convoy had already set off.
She looked at the dark sky, which was as colorless as her heart. After all, most men in the world are cold and indifferent.
"Let's go."
Ping An stuck his head out and looked. The woman's four carriages were finally following, but were lagging far behind.
He was really annoyed by such hypocritically noble women. She was already in her thirties and would soon become a grandmother in this dynasty. Why was she still thinking about such philandering things?
nausea.
It was not an exaggeration for his master to say that it was the best time for the flower to bloom. It was also because his master was a serious person and devoted himself to medical skills. Otherwise, he could have taken ten or eight concubines in their teens.
But it seems that none of the men in the Sun family have concubines.
"Ping'an, what are you looking at?" Chen Xuan said.
Ping'an has agreed to let him live with him, so of course he is happy. The Chen family has a big house and a shop in the capital, but it would be lonely living alone. Living with Ping'an, he can ask questions at any time if he doesn't understand something.
"Nothing, the weather is not very good today, I don't know when the sun will come out."
Zhou Heng laughed and said, "It's a good thing that the road hasn't frozen yet. If it had, the carriage wouldn't dare to run."
The top three will just treat the spring exam next year as their test takers. They don’t feel any pressure at all and instead feel relaxed and lively.
"I don't know if it's snowing in my hometown, but it's getting cold in Jiao County now."
As soon as the three strong men mentioned Jiao County, Ping An thought of Bai Jiaming. Didn't his father say that he was following closely behind? I didn't see them staying in an inn for the past two days. Of course, they might have stayed in a small inn.
Ping'an guessed correctly, the Bai family did stay in the small inn.
The medicine prescribed by Sun Sicheng took effect. Bai Jiaming felt that the lesions on his body had improved a lot. In just a few days, some of the wounds had healed.
"Second Master, the Sun family's convoy has already set off."
The Second Madam frowned: "The snow on the road is still thick at this time, why don't the eldest master and his men rest for a few more days?"
Master Bai Er became impatient: "Hurry up and pack up and get ready to go. If you don't leave now, are you going to wait for the road to freeze? It will take about ten days to get home, and Jiaming's medicine can barely last ten days."
The second wife hurriedly asked someone to clean up the place.
Jiaming's medicine cannot be stopped. This young master is a capable man. He has gotten much better after taking the medicine for ten days. It would be great if he could be cured within half a year.
I'm already eighteen years old, and I'd better take the college entrance examination next year. I also have to get married. Everything is urgent and nothing can be delayed.
My father-in-law doesn't know about this yet. My old man has been very strong-willed all his life. If he knew about this, I'm afraid he would really not want them to come to his house.
Bai Jiaming's heart has come alive these days. He has been scared to death in the past two months. He certainly doesn't want to die at such a young age, and he doesn't want to die by rotting away bit by bit.
If the eldest son cures him this time, he still wants to study hard and be a good person, and will never go to the gambling house or that place again.
When he thought about how he went to Jiao County because of Fu An and ended up in this situation, he hated him in his heart, but he hated himself more. Fu Ting was just like that, but she was prettier, her grandparents were richer, and her mother was richer. There were many families like this in Beijing. He should never have gotten stuck in an extreme and confronted Fu An.
