476 Sun Yat-sen is a teacher again
The day after Ping An's banquet, Sun Wen went to his house as soon as he got off work. From that day on, the teacher helped him with tutoring for the imperial examination. Of course, he couldn't be the only one, because there were several little followers following him, namely San Qiang, Chen Xuan, Zhou Heng and Fu An.
Fu An did not go home directly after the banquet. His servants went home to fetch daily necessities.
Ying kept a close eye on her son and was willing to let him stay at home safely. Her eighteen-year-old son is now a juren scholar. This is something her husband still cannot believe. It is too unreal.
But Ying knew very well that she was relying on Ping An and getting on board the big ship of the Wang family.
Although Wang Daru is not in the capital now, Mr. Ping'an is also a remarkable man. He will not sit idly by and watch his apprentice take the upcoming exam.
Along with Fu An’s daily necessities, there was also a cart full of food and daily necessities.
Sun Yat-sen's temporary accommodation was in the west courtyard of the second courtyard, and his classroom was naturally also in the west courtyard.
Wan Changsheng and Mei Niang told everyone else not to disturb them easily, except to bring them food and drinks, or to find Ping An when they had something to do, including the active Xiao Pingxuan.
Zhang Jinping made an appointment with his brother-in-law to go to a restaurant.
Chang Chunfeng rushed to the restaurant as soon as he got off work: "Brother, why are you treating us to a nice meal today?"
After the food and wine were served, Zhang Jinping closed the door and said, "It's okay. I just wanted to invite you to have a meal together, brother-in-law. Yesterday, my wife and I went to Ping'an's house to warm the stove. There were quite a lot of people there, in addition to Sicheng and Sun Wen's families, there were also Madam Fu and her son, and the son of the Loyal and Brave Marquis and his wife.
Guess who else is there? The Hao brothers, the eldest son of Huang, Huang Fei, and the prince of Jingguo. It's really lively.
I met your ex-wife. She was able to raise a son like Ping An. Her character is really impeccable. She doesn't look like a country girl at all. She is very beautiful and generous. My wife always praises her.
Ping'an's stepfather is only a doctor, but he was not afraid of the stage at all. He and his master entertained everyone in the front yard very well. It can be seen that he really likes Ping'an. "
Chang Chunfeng didn't know why his brother-in-law said this, and his heart ached.
He just took a sip of tea and said nothing.
"You may be curious about why my husband and I went. Ping An came to my house two days ago, but he was too embarrassed to invite us. My father said that it was not convenient for Ping An to be invited, so you should go by yourselves. Ping An's biological father and mother separated because of an accident, not because anyone let anyone down. If you really want to blame someone, then blame fate.
My Zhang family is not here to interfere. If Zhang Jinyu isn't here, there will be others. So don't be embarrassed. The other party is just Ping'an's parents. Ping'an treats us like a relative, so his parents are not outsiders. There is no need to be shy. "
Chang Chunfeng burst into tears. He and Zhang Jinyu did not get along well, but he had a very good father-in-law and brother-in-law and sister-in-law. This was also the reason why he had always tolerated Zhang.
Zhang Jinping seemed not to notice his tears: "Chunfeng, Jinyu is sometimes very stubborn, you should talk to her when necessary, and I will ask her sister-in-law to persuade her frequently. Besides being stubborn, she is also a little selfish, only being kind to her relatives without reservation, but not to Ping'an.
Of course, it's not a case of rubbing, and she doesn't have the ability to suppress Ping An. My father and I just like Ping An too much, that's why we are so angry. Even my wife seems to like Ping An. I'm sorry, brother-in-law."
"Brother, how can I blame you? You have always done a great job. Over the years, I have talked to Jinyu countless times, and even told her that Ping An does not need us to raise him or take care of him. Just give him a sincere smile when you come over.
She always agreed, but when peace came, she raised her head high again, and even taught her daughter bad things. "
He recounted the story of Jin'er's reaction when Ping'an came home a few days ago, "Brother, to be honest, I even thought about divorce. She said in front of the children that Ping'an's surname is Wan, not Chang, and Chang Yan is the real eldest son of the Chang family.
"Brother, she is not an ignorant person, how could she say such a thing? Ping An is not only my eldest son, but he has also suffered so much because of me, and he also wore mourning for his grandparents on behalf of me, his father. How could she say such a thing?"
Zhang Jinping's eyes turned red with anger: "Chunfeng, I will tell Dad about these things when I go back. If it really doesn't work, you can divorce me if you want. I don't blame you. She really shouldn't have stabbed you in the gut like this. Jin'er, who is so smart, was taught to be so mean by her. Who will like her in the future when she grows up like this?"
Chang Chunfeng took a deep breath and said, "Brother, I say this because I am so upset. For the sake of the child and because of how good you are to me, I will not divorce her easily. You don't have to tell Dad. He is sixty years old. It is not worth it to ruin his health with anger."
"Brother-in-law, let's not talk about this for now, let's drink and eat. Come, let's clink glasses."
Chang Chunfeng picked up the cup.
…
A few days later, Da Wu came excitedly to find his master.
"Master, someone from the dental office said today that a group of people arrived last night. They are from a wealthy family that had an accident. There are embroiderers and other people. I'll take Xuejian to take a look."
"Go ahead. Take as many as you want. We have a lot of people, so we need a lot of clothes and other things every year. After all, many of them are unmarried. We should also buy a few capable servants. Anyway, you decide how to buy. I'll leave the housework to you. Master Qin only takes care of the farm. He also has to teach people how to make medicine.
Also, prepare all the necessary preparations for Wang Quan and the others’ marriages. I don’t have time to take care of these. You and Xuejian can handle it.”
"Yes, Master. I'll go now."
Da Wu's steps were brisk, he liked such days. His wife and children were by his side, and there was no fighting. He lived a comfortable life. The most important thing was that his master was extremely kind to them and trusted them very much.
His eldest son will be seven years old next year. The young master said that he will send him to school with Young Master Xuan. If there is a chance, he will hire an old scholar to teach him. He will continue to study as long as he can.
Most of their deeds are living deeds, which have not been actually registered with the government office, and their children can still go to school.
That day, Da Wu brought back four embroiderers, two old women, three maids, and a family of fruit farmers. They were all capable people. As soon as they got home, they started working the next day.
Mei Niang never cared about these things. It was natural for her son to agree to let her son do these things as the housekeeper. Besides, these people were really needed. In such a big house, it would be impossible to handle it without a few old women and maids.
The same goes for the embroiderer. Ready-made clothes are too expensive. How much does the material cost?
Many days passed in a flash, and it was the 20th day of the twelfth lunar month in a blink of an eye. Sun Yat-sen seemed to have returned to the past. He was especially strict with Ping An, and sometimes he would accompany him to write articles at night, and would stay up for two hours.
In addition to being grateful in her heart, Mei Niang also cooked herself some delicious and nourishing medicinal food to nourish the bodies of her husband and those who were about to take exams.
"Ping An, I can't come here starting tomorrow. I have the annual holiday in three days. I have to help the eldest master check the accounts. These are the book lists I made for you. What you should read and what you should do are all written down on them. If you don't understand, come to my house tonight and ask me."
