498 I don't want to spoil your fun
Sun Hongyu saw that Changsheng was a little dazed after meeting people.
"What's wrong? Who is coming?"
Wan Changsheng saw that it was getting late and that he had finished all the consultations, so he pulled his uncle into his carriage.
He didn't want to tell anyone about this, but this "anyone" did not include Sun Hongyu.
"What's the matter? What are you sitting there for? Tell me." Sun Hongyu was anxious. He truly regarded Changsheng as his own son.
"Uncle, the man just now was Chang Chunfeng's manager. He asked me to meet him at Jinghua Restaurant tomorrow evening. He said we just need to chat and I don't need to tell anyone, but I still want to tell you."
"Is Ping An your biological father?"
"Yes."
Sun Hongyu sighed, "To be honest, I have a good impression of this person. He is right about this matter, and neither are you. It was a coincidence that you met by chance. It is because of this that you have Mei Niang as your wife, Ping An as your eldest son, and such a lovely pair of children.
The same is true for him. He now has a pair of children. Some people's fate is just that long and they will live forever. There is no need to stop communicating with each other until death. The Great Zhou Dynasty is not so unsympathetic in these matters. It can be said that not many people in the officialdom of the capital city know about the affairs of your two families. But who has ever said that you are wrong?
Ping'an will be an official in the future, and you and Mei Niang will be the parents of the official. You will have to participate in many social etiquette. The capital is so small, and you may meet each other at a banquet somewhere. You don't have to interact with each other, but at least you will know what is going on and won't be surprised.
There is no need to tell Mei Niang about this now. Actually, Ping An Niang is also an amazing woman. She knows everything. You should cherish her, cherish this family, and cherish your son Ping An even more. "
"Uncle, I will go to see him tomorrow evening. When you come back, tell Mei Niang that I have something to do and will be back later. It won't be long. I don't have much to say to that person."
"Got it, Changsheng. You have studied medicine for ten years. I have nothing more to teach you. The rest is up to you to slowly accumulate knowledge. I have been busy these few days. I don't plan to go to the clinic anymore. I will just live in the manor. You can leave Pingxuan in the manor and I will take care of him. Xier will learn medicine from me for the time being. There are so many people in the manor, enough for Xier to practice.
In two years, when she is older, she will ask her sister-in-law to teach her some other things. With an older brother like that, her future husband's family will not be bad.
Pingxuan, just follow our agreement and practice on the farm. One of the brothers can be more capable and the other less capable, but the difference can’t be too big, and they can’t go astray.”
"Uncle, how can I leave both children to you?"
"What's there to be embarrassed about? It's only temporary. Pingxuan will go to school when he grows up. Xier will also have to learn how to be a housekeeper and learn some etiquette in two years. Awu from Sicheng's family can teach her these.
I don't want to go to the clinic because I will be 60 years old in two years. I'm old and have worked all my life. I just want to be free in the village, chat with Master Qin, do things I like to do, and come back to meet you guys occasionally.
Changsheng, these days are beautiful. Zhuangzi is safe. He is also my grandson. I like living in the manor in my old age. You can come over when you are free."
"Uncle, I'll listen to you."
The next evening, when Wan Changsheng had just arrived at the door of the restaurant, Xiao Sanzi came to greet him and said, "Master Wan, my master is waiting for you upstairs. I'll take you there."
"good."
The two of them went up to the second floor, and Xiao Sanzi gently pushed open a door: "Master, Master Wan is here."
"Master Wan, please."
Wan Changsheng pushed open the door and walked in. Xiao Sanzi closed the door and stood guard outside.
Chang Chunfeng stood up and said with a smile: "Ten years have passed in a flash. I first met you ten years ago. We were still young then, and now we are middle-aged."
Wan Changsheng suddenly felt that their meeting was not so awkward, it was just a meeting between acquaintances.
"Master Chang is still as charming as ever. I am the same age as you, but I am much older than you."
"No, no, please take a seat, brother Wan. It's just the two of us. I just want a few dishes."
"Then I won't be polite. Master Chang, please."
"Brother Wan, you are surprised that I asked you to meet me? I suddenly wanted to see you yesterday. Ping An is our son. I don't think there is any need for us to have no contact with each other forever.
You have taught Ping An very well over the years, and I cannot thank you enough. Thank you very much, Brother Wan."
"Master Chang, Ping An is a rare good son in the world. If we really want to teach him, it was the eldest son and Mr. Sun who taught him little by little. In recent years, Mr. Wang has also taught him. I didn't give Ping An much, but Ping An brought me a lot of happiness."
A quarter of an hour later.
Chang Chunfeng took out a stack of banknotes from his arms.
"I don't have much money. This is what I have saved over the years, only six thousand taels. Please accept it as part of Ping An's betrothal gift."
Wan Changsheng was a little at a loss. He could barely scrape together two thousand taels by himself, and Uncle Sun took out another two thousand. Later, Ping An gave his mother the two thousand that he had previously kept with his wife. All together, they could only barely scrape together six thousand.
As for the filial silver that Ping An had given over the years, it added up to four thousand taels, but this silver would be used for the wedding banquet, and there were also many miscellaneous expenses.
"This, this is not good, right? I have already collected several thousand taels of silver for Ping An's betrothal gift, and I think Ping An will take the rest himself, but he doesn't know about this yet."
Chang Chunfeng sighed, "Brother Wan, you can take it, and I am Ping'an's father, so it is my duty to take part of the betrothal gift. Let our two families take it. You can take it first, and after Ping'an passes the palace examination and knows that he is going to get married, you can tell him about this. I believe Ping'an will agree to you taking it."
"Okay, Master Chang, I'll accept it first. You are Ping An's biological father, so you should be at the wedding banquet on that day."
Chang Chunfeng waved his hand and said, "No need, no need. It was not easy for his mother to take care of him in the early years. She will definitely have to sit in the hall when her son gets married. The day after the wedding, just let Ping An take his wife to the Chang family to offer a cup of tea. He can also stay there occasionally. The second courtyard over there is all his, and the room is clean."
"Okay." Wan Changsheng didn't know what to say. He just felt that the man opposite him was not having an easy time.
But who has it easy?
He is in a very difficult situation now and wants to be polite, but this is not a matter of politeness. The son is also his and Mei Niang's. Naturally, he and Mei Niang will be parents after getting married.
"There is one more thing. Ping An is about to graduate from high school. I want to take him back to worship our ancestors. I haven't had the time to go back to worship my parents for ten years. To be honest, it is a very unfilial thing to do. But the capital is too far away. How can I get such a long vacation?
If Brother Wan wants to go back, we can go together. During the Ping An Academy Examination, both sides offered sacrifices to their ancestors, and this time is no exception."
Wan Changsheng was silent for a while, then whispered, "Why don't I not go back this time and let Ping An pay homage to the Wan family's ancestors? To be honest, the learned people in the capital understand that our relationship is a coincidence, but country people may not understand. I don't want to spoil your fun."
