474 Everyone was stunned
When I got home safely, the family had already eaten dinner and were chatting in the main room.
"Ping'an, we thought you wouldn't be back tonight." Wan Changsheng took a sip of rice wine. This rice wine was brewed by Ping'an's mother, and it tasted very good.
Ping'an sat down with a smile: "Uncle, Dad, Mom, I went to my teacher and master's house today. I had lunch at my master's house and went to my father's house in the afternoon. He took a day off this afternoon.
I have already told my husband and master's family that five days from now will be a holiday, so I'd like to invite them to warm the stove in our new home. There may also be a few good friends who we get along well with. It won't be many people, but we will have to distinguish between male and female guests.
Uncle and dad will entertain male guests, and mom will entertain female guests. The table will be booked from Juxuanlou. They will send a cook, so it will be convenient if the dishes get cold or if they need to add two more guests at short notice."
Mei Niang smiled and said, "Xue Jian brought the owner of the clothing shop here today, and also brought many sets of ready-made clothes for us to choose from. We each picked out two sets of clothes, and gave some to Zhou Heng, San Qiang, and Chen Xuan. Er Qiang said he had one, and you ordered two sets for him every New Year.
One set is for entertaining guests, and the other is for Chinese New Year. They look good, but they are too expensive. "
A complete set of clothes costs about twenty taels on average, and today my son spent more than two hundred taels.
Ping An laughed, "Two sets per person isn't enough, right? They're expensive for a reason. I've already told Da Wu that next year we'll have a few embroiderers specializing in sewing. With so many people's clothes, we can save a lot of money in a year."
Mei Niang originally wanted to say that she would take Xizhi, Liu Niangzi and others to do it, but after thinking about it, she decided not to do it. Her son had too many people under him, and they could not finish the job alone.
"There is one more thing. There is a girls' school in the capital. Does Xi'er want to go there? It only accepts girls between the ages of eight and sixteen. Awu will not go next year."
Xi'er said, "Brother, I'd rather stay at home and study medicine with my uncle. I'm very interested in this. Studying medicine also allows me to learn to read, and women don't have to take the imperial examinations."
Sun Hongyu nodded: "Ping An, I think there is no point in going to a girls' school. You won't learn anything practical. Maybe a group of girls will bully Xi'er because she is from another place."
Wan Changsheng thought about it, isn't that the truth? He is just an ordinary doctor. Ping An is capable, but his current status is just a juren. If someone really bullies Xier, he will be heartbroken.
"Ping An, a little girl doesn't necessarily have to go to a college. It's good enough for her to learn medicine from your uncle. It's also good for her to know some medicine herself. She, like you, also started learning medicine at the age of seven. If she studies for another seven or eight years, she will be amazing."
Mei Niang nodded. As a girl, she didn't agree to go to the academy. But Pingxuan would be five years old next year, so it would be time for him to start learning.
"Ping An, your brother will be five next year, so he can be sent to school to start his education, or even a year later. We won't discuss this tonight, as we have to move tomorrow."
Wan Changsheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Ever since Ping'an said that he went to his father's house in the afternoon, he had been secretly observing his wife's expression. Fortunately, his wife was very calm from beginning to end. It seemed that she had really let go of the past. He was really a little petty.
The night passed quickly.
There is a saying about moving to a new house that the earlier the better the omen, but the city gate does not open until dawn, so they set off at dawn and arrived in the city just in time.
Da Wu picked twenty or thirty people, and a few carriages would be enough. There were too many people early in the morning, and others didn't know what had happened. The young master had always been a low-key person.
Ping'an was very pleased with the family's reaction to the new house. Isn't it because he works so hard to make his family live comfortably?
Mei Niang felt like she couldn't walk any more and said, "Ping An, this house is too big. How much money will it cost?"
"Mom, it's been about 30,000 so far, right?"
Wan Changsheng and his wife and Sun Hongyu all gasped, "Oh my God, this is too much."
"Ping'an, you still have to get married. Your parents are of little use and can't help you much. Are you going to spend all your savings in one go?" Mei Niang was anxious.
She knew that houses in the capital were expensive, but she didn't know that a house was this expensive. She was afraid that her son must have borrowed money from his master.
"Mother, if you don't have money, you can earn it again. Don't forget that this is also the house where I want to get married. It's not good if it's too bad. Master and mistress will feel sorry for their daughter."
Wan Changsheng shut his mouth. It was true. The threshold of the Sun family was still too high compared to their family.
Ping'an felt a little guilty. He had never told anyone except his master and husband about his income, and he felt there was no need to do so. Everyone had their own privacy.
Especially someone like him who has parents on both sides.
One of the east rooms in the front yard is a large study, and the other two are for Sun Hongyu and Pingxuan. Pingxuan's room cannot be used for the time being, but it has to be kept.
The large rooms on the west side are guest rooms. Sanqiang, Zhou Heng, and Chen Xuan each live in a large room, and the small rooms behind each of them are occupied by their personal servants for convenience.
In the second courtyard, Mei Niang insisted on giving it all to Ping An, because Ping An would have children in the future, and the east room alone might not be enough.
The third courtyard is where Mei Niang lives with her two children, and a room in the west room has to be reserved as a storehouse. In short, the house is big enough and can be used in any way.
The side rooms are also easy to arrange. There are too many rooms. All the safe people live in the small courtyards on both sides. To be honest, this house is really good. Even if we squeeze a little bit, it can accommodate a hundred people.
Wan Changsheng and Mei Niang also figured it out and quickly got busy. The money was earned by their son, so he could spend it however he wanted. They could just enjoy the good life with him. Why worry about it? It would be more important to think about how to help their son more.
Fu An came here in the morning.
He has been studying at home these days, and his mother is watching him closely, fearing that something might happen to him if he goes out. They naturally know about Bai Jiaming's affairs. Although he brought it upon himself, it is still related to his family after all.
When I went out today, I was accompanied by seven or eight guards.
Ping An said with a smile, "Master Fu, you are bringing so many people with you when you go out. It's really a big show."
Fu An approached Ping An and said, "Bai Jiaming also came home yesterday. Others generally don't know, but we all know it. How can my mother be relieved? Ping An, there are several people in your family taking the exam. I will come over tomorrow and live with Chen Xuan. I can live in the side room."
Ping'an thought about it and agreed. The teacher said that after the banquet, he would come every day to teach him for an hour. His father wanted to teach him himself, but he refused.
"You can come, but you have to tell your mother. And when you come to my place, you have to listen to me. You can't go out without my permission. It's not just because of Bai Jiaming. There will be many students coming to the capital soon. It's easy to get into trouble when there are too many people."
Fu An nodded repeatedly: "Ping An, I will listen to you in everything. Three years in Yingtian, haven't I listened to you enough?"
