529 Detailed Arrangements
The collective wedding in Yao Valley was lively for several hours.
As the witness, Wan Changsheng drank a lot of wine that night. When he woke up, it was already mid-morning.
He sat up suddenly, and Sanqiang just walked in: "Uncle, is your head feeling better? Are you still dizzy?"
Wan Changsheng looked at the sunlight outside the window and said, "Sanqiang, why didn't you call me? It's already mid-morning, right?"
Sanqiang laughed, "You drank too much last night, and kept talking and didn't sleep. Ping An said that you should sleep until you wake up naturally, so why not just have breakfast and lunch before going back to the city."
Wan Changsheng's face turned a little red. He was particularly talkative when he drank too much. He repeated the same thing over and over again before he stopped. At home, his wife would not allow him to drink so much.
"San Qiang, I wonder if I can attend your wedding this time when I go back? If we can't find anything good here, we can go to the capital to look for one."
Sanqiang blushed. His uncle had discussed this with him before he wrote home in March. His great uncle also analyzed the situation carefully for him and asked him to try to look for the child in his hometown. He agreed with this and his parents would not look for the child randomly.
Even Chen Xuan, who is so well-off, found his fiancée by going back to his hometown.
Ping'an took the groom Qingshi with him, replenished a lot of medicine in the valley, had breakfast and lunch, and then led everyone out of the valley.
Fang Wu and Hu Zi will stay in the valley for the time being and notify us in advance when they return.
Qingshi's family followed him out of the valley. Their family originally lived in the city, and Ping'an also asked him to wait for him in Yong'an and not to follow him. The honeymoon leave was a must.
Yongan City.
Chang Chunfeng didn't expect that Chen Sheng would come to him with his grandfather the next day.
The old county magistrate was very tactful. He just came to congratulate Ping An on winning the top spot in the imperial examination, brought some gifts of moderate value, sat for a while, and then left with his grandson.
Chen Sheng was a little puzzled: "Grandfather, since we are already here, why don't you tell Uncle Chang that we are willing to study at the Imperial Academy?"
The old county magistrate laughed and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? Lord Chang has a good conscience. Considering the father-son relationship between you two, you must go with them. However, he has just returned and you can't leave for more than a month."
"Grandfather, my uncle is married and has children. If I rashly follow him, will his wife be upset? If so, I would rather not follow him. His life has been too miserable."
"Silly boy, the Imperial College only has one day off every ten days, and you don't live in their house all the time. You said Ping'an treats you well, and you have become familiar with Ping'an along the way. If you get some guidance from him, it will be of great benefit to you, and the same goes for Lord Chang.
Sheng'er, Grandfather is old, your father has only one son, and your two cousins from your second uncle's family are not good at studying. The Chen family's hopes are all on you. Grandfather doesn't want to be shameless, but sometimes he has to do so. It's hard to be a human being. "
Chen Sheng said nothing more.
Life has not been easy since I returned to the Chen family these years.
Seeing that he was good at studying, his grandfather devoted himself to educating him. However, his grandmother hated his mother so much that she thought how could an orphan compare to his two cousins from his second uncle's family.
My grandfather is getting older and older, and he may have to resign in two years. My second uncle is not very ambitious, and he is neither good at literature nor martial arts. My two cousins, who were not very good at studying, have also been engaged one after another, and some of the money they spent is even the money left by my mother when she left the Chen family.
Now that he is married, he still holds his mother's dowry in his hands, all of which was given to him by his uncle. Otherwise, life would have been difficult.
After Chen Sheng left with his grandfather, Chang Chunfeng, who was as smart as he was, naturally guessed that Chen Sheng was willing to follow him to the capital.
Forget it, I'll just help this kid myself.
Although he hoped that the second marriage was just a dream and nothing had ever happened, it existed and that was a fact.
If there was one thing that was good about that marriage, it was the father-son relationship with Sheng'er.
It was sunset when Ping'an and his companions returned to the city.
That night, Chang Chunfeng found Wan Changsheng and discussed with him the location of the No. 1 Scholar Archway.
When Wan Changsheng heard that the archways should be placed at the intersections leading into the town from each village, he naturally agreed.
In this way, whenever people from several nearby villages enter the town, they will see the archway. This is not the most important thing. The most important thing is that the archway will neither be located in Changjia Village, making it difficult for Chang Chunfeng to hold his head up in Wanjia Village, nor will it be located in Wanjia Village, making it difficult for Chang Chunfeng to hold his head up in Changjia Village.
These are two good things.
"Brother Wan, there is one more thing. Ping An's household registration is in your family. You can hold the ancestral worship ceremony in Wanjia Village first, and the Chang family will hold the ancestral worship ceremony the next day."
Wan Changsheng shook his head: "Ping An's household registration is under my name, but he is your biological son after all, so let's worship the Chang family's ancestors first."
Chang Chunfeng has figured out some things over the years. It's good enough to be able to take his son to worship the ancestors. There's no need to argue about who is better or who is worse.
Moreover, I think to myself that Wan Changsheng is a really good person. If you respect him a foot, he will return you a yard. Why don't you be more generous and have a chance to meet him in the future?
"Brother Wan, I have already made up my mind. You don't need to persuade me anymore. There is one more thing. Ping An gave me three hundred taels of silver and said he gave you one as well. Let's make an agreement and not add any more. With this silver, we can buy twenty acres of good farmland in the local area. This is enough. What do you think, Brother Wan?"
"Ping An also gave me 300 taels, which is enough to buy clan land. Last time Ping An went back, two villages each gave me 100 taels to repair the ancestral hall. Lord Chang, ten days are enough to repair the memorial archway, plus ancestor worship, it will only take half a month. Now it is the end of May, and it will be the beginning of June when we return to Jiao County. We can go back before the end of the month."
Wan Changsheng finished speaking and smiled again: "People are like this. If they don't come back, they miss it. If they come back, they are anxious about their current home."
"Brother Wan is right. Let's go back as early as possible. Ping An and I only have three months of vacation. But the sun is scorching in July, and it's really hard to travel."
This time when he goes back, he may be transferred to Dingzhou to serve as the prefect, but there are several people vying for this position, so it is hard to say whether it will fall to him.
The prefect of a state is of the fourth rank, and he is now a fifth rank official in the capital. In terms of rank, he has been promoted twice. Even if the rank of local officials cannot be compared with that of Beijing officials, it is undoubtedly a promotion.
What's more, that was Dingzhou, a provincial capital very close to the capital. If he was transferred there to gain some experience, and worked there for a few years, he could get a promotion before he was 45 years old.
The fifth rank for an official is a hurdle, and many officials are stuck at the fifth rank their entire lives. He took advantage of his son's fame, otherwise he would probably still be at the sixth rank or even would have been at the sixth rank. It is too difficult to get promoted in the capital.
In the following days, Wan Changsheng and Chang Chunfeng occasionally sat in the same car and chatted, while Ping An spent more time recalling every detail of modern medicine during the day and recording it at night.
He has interrupted this work for the past few months just to prepare for the imperial examination. Now that the examination is over, he can no longer let go of these things.
He was afraid that once he let it go, as he got older, the memories in his mind would gradually become blurred, which would be such a pity.
In this dynasty, all medical schools keep their medical skills strictly secret, for fear of leaking even a little bit of their own prescriptions. Of course, there is nothing wrong with this.
If he wanted to co-found the first medical school with his master in Da Zhou, it would not be easy, and it would be difficult for his master and great-grandmaster to agree.
But if he used the medical teaching materials he compiled, which did not involve the core prescriptions of the Sun family, and could provide Changqing with a way out in the future, the master might agree.
He also wants to give Wenzhu, Xiaochen, Qingshi, Wujun and Xiaoshan a better future.
