548 Chen Xuan and the others are back
Wang Wei was confused for a while when looking at the painting. His wife at home had a mirror that belonged to a foreigner, and this picture looked exactly like him in the mirror.
He looked at Ping An, his godson, with eyes that were more passionate than when he looked at his lover.
Ping An shrank his neck, trouble came.
Wang Wei grabbed Ping An's shoulders and said, "Well done, hahaha, hahaha, well done, Ping An, you are such a treasure."
Ping An frowned, feeling amused in his heart, but with a sad face, "Godfather, good godfather, please don't make trouble for me, your godson. I'm busy."
Wang Wei smiled and said, "I have a pair of short swords. I got them with great difficulty. It's hard to find a pair in the whole capital. The two swords are not the same length. Your second uncle asked for it several times but I didn't want to give it to him. If..."
He looked at Ping An, with an expression of pain in his heart.
"Godfather, what if you give me the dagger? Do you really want me to do things for you? I am a little sad. I gave you my collection of telescopes, and I am left with nothing."
Wang Wei didn't say anything, just looked at him.
Ping An sighed, "Okay, fine, I'll go with you to the Dali Temple to look at the portraits."
Wang Wei's eyes were full of smiles. Although the brat was pretending, he was still willing to help him in his heart.
"Okay, come back with me now. I'll give you the short sword later. But let me make a promise. Just drawing it once won't be enough. You have to help me teach some people when you have time. Otherwise, I'll have to trouble you every time."
"Godfather, don't forget that I have to go to work now too."
Wang Wei smiled: "I haven't forgotten. Didn't His Majesty only allow you to work for half a day?"
…
Ping An returned home in the afternoon with two swords.
It was quite funny when I got off the bus. It seemed that he just refused to teach people how to paint when we went to Dali Temple. Finally, his godfather sent someone home to get a knife and put it in his hand. Only then did he reluctantly agree to teach one day in ten days.
Teaching three days a month, three months is almost enough. What we teach is just skills, which mainly come from daily practice. However, sketching is not easy to draw. If your skills are a little bit weak, the things you draw will be very bad.
"Ping An, what are you laughing at?"
Ping An looked up and saw Chen Xuan standing under the front porch with a smile on his face.
"Chen Xuan, you're back? Are all my people back together?"
"Master, of course you're back." Xiao Ming ran over, followed by his elder brother, Wang Quan, Wen Zhu, Wu Jun and others.
Ping An grinned, "I'm glad you're all here. I'm not used to not seeing you guys for the past few months. You arrived this afternoon?"
Wen Zhu said, "Young Master, we arrived in the afternoon. I sent the people to the farm first and will bring them to meet you later."
Ping An laughed, "Wen Zhu, Wu Jun, I don't know the wives of the two of you. Tomorrow is a day off, and I will go to the farm early in the morning. You can all go back today."
"Yes, Master."
After his people left, Ping An asked, "Chen Xuan, did you bring your sister-in-law?"
Chen Xuan blushed: "I didn't want to bring her, but my parents are here too, so I brought her along. It's afternoon today, so it's not convenient to bring her. My parents will bring her here tomorrow morning to meet us.
But Ping An, you have to leave a room for me here. I want to stay at your house occasionally, and exchange knowledge with the three strongest people. "
"Okay, as long as your wife agrees, this time an acquaintance of mine from Yongan is also coming to study at the Imperial College, and he will also stay at my house during the summer break. His name is Chen Sheng, and he is the same age as you, but he is in the scholar class."
Chen Sheng and Sanqiang usually live in the Imperial College, and only stay at his house during the ten-day holidays. Of course, they also stay at his house during the two or three-month long holidays a year.
The Imperial College and the Jinghua Academy are competing secretly. The management is now much stricter. Those who live in the capital must make sure they are not late for the academy. If they are late three times, they will be automatically expelled.
In addition, the living environment in the Imperial College was good, so Sanqiang and Chen Sheng naturally wanted to live there. The two of them happened to be assigned to a small courtyard with three small rooms. Someone was found to keep the remaining room for Chen Xuan.
Even though Chen Xuan lives at home, he still has to stay overnight on rainy or snowy days.
Ping An told Chen Xuan about it.
Chen Xuan was so excited: "Ping An, you are the best. It's relaxing and comfortable to live here. Thank you very much."
"By the way, I brought you a lot of small jade items this time. They are in the large study in the front yard."
Ping'an hurriedly thanked him. He liked Qingyu very much. The sales had been good in recent years and the Ying family had made them a lot of money.
"Then I'll shamelessly accept it. Come on, let's sit inside."
"Master Ping An."
"Jixiang, is there anything I can help you with, Master?" Ping'an took a few steps towards Jixiang.
"Master Ping'an, the eldest son asked me to tell you that Minister Wu came to him this afternoon and asked you to perform surgery on his grandson."
Ping An sighed. They could have cut it all together, but the whole family was reluctant to do so, and in fact made the child suffer twice.
Three years have passed in a flash, and the child is now over three years old.
"Did the master say when it will be done?"
"The eldest master asked you to go to the medical clinic tomorrow at noon. Go there after lunch."
"Okay, go back and tell them I know."
The surgery performed at the age of three is not as good as the one done back then. The child is older now and it will be much more difficult to take care of him in the future.
The next day after work, Ping An hurried to the medical clinic.
Sun Sicheng said, "It's safe. Minister Wu wants to have the child cut off this time. He will be studying in a few years. It would be bad if people knew about it. Wu Qiwen is now working in Jiangnan. He wants to take the child away in the first month of next year."
"Master, I don't mind. It's just that a three-year-old child is prone to movement, and it's a bit troublesome for adults to take care of him during the recovery after surgery."
"Ping An, the housekeeper of the Sixth Prince's family came to me yesterday and wanted us to perform surgery on a concubine's daughter in his house. I refused. It was just a broken leg. Imperial Doctor Ning, Imperial Doctor Huang and many other imperial doctors can do it. Ping An, after the surgery today, I will bandage your hand in the operating room and say that it was accidentally injured during the surgery."
Ping An said helplessly, "What are you going to do? What if they insist on asking you to go? Master, we are already earls now, and we don't have to be so timid when practicing medicine anymore."
"I have already refused. I am a young lady and the Sixth Prince is the youngest brother of the Emperor. We have a good relationship."
"Master, are you overthinking? I swore on our wedding day, and I believe everyone in the capital knows it. I only want Ah Wu in my life, and anyone else wants to be my concubine, which is impossible."
Sun Sicheng stood up and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Listen to me. You'd better be careful with some people. The reputation of this concubine of the Sixth Prince is not very good. I have told the director of the court that we should not be contacted by the palace or the royal family as much as possible. We couldn't help it that time with the Crown Prince. We try not to get involved with ordinary people."
"I know. Let's do as the master says."
Ping'an was a little depressed. This was the bad thing about practicing medicine in ancient times. There are many male obstetricians and gynecologists nowadays, and there is no distinction between men and women in front of doctors. But this is not the case at this time. He absolutely cannot look at the skin of a lady from a noble family.
If there is a case that cannot be avoided in the future, let Leng Yue and the others go. Leng Yue, Leng Shui and Tong Miao are the best in Chinese medicine among his female doctors and can perform general operations.
