564 What's going on
After the meeting, Ping'an came out and went to the greenhouse vegetable area. This year, more varieties of greenhouse vegetables have been added, and two more greenhouses have been added. Last year, some people in Beijing tried to grow them, but they invested a lot of money and couldn't grow any. I heard that no one has tried to grow them this year.
Winter vegetables were in short supply and no matter how popular they were, he did not raise the price by a penny, which made everyone in the capital who had bought his vegetables give him a thumbs up.
Ping An's creed in life is that he loves money, but he never is greedy for money.
Nowadays, some of the vegetables and eggs in the palace are also bought from him. Of course, the palace has its own hot spring villa, where some vegetables can also be grown.
"Master."
Ping An turned around and said, "Xiao Ming, what are you doing following me?"
He saw Dalin hiding behind a big tree.
"Master, I'm already fourteen years old and have been practicing martial arts for seven years. Can I follow you like Brother Xiaowu and the others?"
Ping An looked at him. The boy was quite tall, and probably because of his martial arts training, he was stronger than his brother. "Is Dalin following you now? How is his martial arts training going? Is he not slacking off?"
He raised his voice deliberately.
"Master, I'm not lazy. If you don't believe me, just ask Brother Xiaoming." Dalin showed up.
Xiao Ming nodded quickly: "Master, I can testify to this. He is definitely not lazy. In addition to learning from Master Da Wu, he also asked me to teach him and is also learning to read. Master, you haven't answered my question yet."
"Okay, you will follow me after the spring. Dalin, learn from Master Dawu well. If you learn well, you will be able to follow me in a few years."
Dalin just grinned.
"The young master has left, and you just smile foolishly. Why don't you say thank you? Let me tell you, it's not enough to be good at martial arts to follow the young master. You also need to be perceptive and know some medicine. It's a pity that I didn't learn much about medicine, otherwise I could have become the young master's disciple. But being a personal bodyguard is better. I like following the young master."
Dalin agreed with this.
At first he almost thought he was going to die, but the young master saw him and saved him. Later, the two men really found Xiao Linzi. If it weren't for the young master, he would have died a miserable death.
He just wants to follow the young master for the rest of his life, nothing else.
Ping An took Lin Feng to the main courtyard. He was going to visit his biological father's house. The day before yesterday was the Little New Year, and his biological father should have returned yesterday.
Time flies so fast, and it’s only five days until New Year’s Eve.
"Master Ping'an, Master Ping'an." Jixiang came riding over.
"Jixiang, what happened?" If there was nothing special, the master would not send Jixiang to find the village.
Jixiang got off the horse and said, "Master Ping'an, several venereal patients came here today and said that the eldest master and his apprentice cured Mr. Bai's disease. Although the disease was not completely cured, it has been almost cured.
The eldest son got angry and said that this was not the case and that there was no cure for this disease for the time being. However, those people just didn't believe him and they and their families blocked the door of the clinic crying, scaring away all the patients.
When I went to the Bai family to ask, I found out that it was the wife of the deceased steward of the Bai family who let the secret slip on purpose. Mr. Bai's family was already looking for a partner for him.
This housekeeper's wife was so angry that her husband died innocently that she deliberately told others about it. As a result, the people who came to see the bride were not happy about it, but some people with syphilis in the capital came to see her. There were seven or eight of them, and we don't know how many will be there tomorrow."
Ping An was also drunk.
The Chinese New Year is only five days away. What should we do with these patients?
"The eldest master asked you to be careful and not to come into contact with these patients. The eldest daughter is about to give birth. He asked you not to go to the clinic these days. When you are free, go and help Mr. Sun with the accounts. Oh, and ask you to tell the doorman to be careful as well."
"Got it. Go back and tell Master to be careful. I'm going back to the city now."
In that case, I should go home first and ask my family to be careful these days, and women and children should not go out.
This year, the orange farm has stored a lot of oranges in the cellar. Oranges are not easy to preserve, so those that are moldy can be used and nothing can be wasted. Xiaoshan and his people made a lot of penicillin and put it in the cellar. If the treatment could be done like Bai Jiaming, it would still work, but as the New Year is approaching, many more people came in, and he and his master were unwilling to do so.
When I got home, everything was fine at the doorstep, with no messy people around.
Lin Feng got out of the car and hurriedly greeted the doorman, telling him not to let in anyone he was not familiar with.
The doorman said, "The steward of Lord Chang's family came this morning and asked the eldest young master to take Master Chen over when he has time."
Ping An jumped out of the car. His biological father asked him to take Chen Sheng there. Did he tell his stepmother? Just go there. Chen Sheng would be more comfortable living in his own home.
He told Chen Sheng about this.
Chen Sheng was happy. He hadn't seen his uncle for a long time and he missed him a lot.
"Ping An, I still want to live with you, but I'm sorry it will bother your family."
"Chen Sheng, don't say such things again in the future. It's convenient for you to live with me. You can communicate with Sanqiang and Chen Xuan frequently, and I can also find time to guide you. My father went to Dingzhou this year and can't go home once a month. He is really too busy, and I feel a little guilty about you."
Chen Sheng said, "Uncle is so busy, how can I blame him? Besides, I am very comfortable living in your house. Uncle Wan and Auntie treat me very well, just like their own child."
"Well, wait for me for a quarter of an hour, I'll go to the backyard and take a look."
Ping'an didn't wait for Chen Sheng to answer and hurried to the backyard. Awu's belly was big now, so she basically didn't even go to the front yard, but Pingxuan and Xier sometimes ran around, and her mother would occasionally go to the street.
Awu and Mei Niang were doing needlework together. When they heard this, they both looked worried. In their opinion, nine out of ten people who suffer from this disease are not good people.
Since it is not a good thing and it is an infectious disease, it is better to avoid contact with it as much as possible.
"Ping An, your wife is about to give birth. I really don't feel comfortable if you are out there treating these people. Besides, you are not just a doctor now, you are an official of the Hanlin Academy."
Awu nodded her head, her father was in trouble because of his treatment.
"I understand. I'll take Chen Sheng to visit Chang's family. My father came home yesterday, so we'll try to come back for dinner."
Ping An was still worried, so he asked Xiao Wu to drive the carriage past the entrance of Baicaotang. Sure enough, there were still many people waiting at the entrance of the clinic, shivering in the cold wind. The waiter explained again and again that the eldest master was not here, but these people were still reluctant to leave.
"Let's go. I'll tell the eldest master. You guys go back first. It's cold out here."
Ping An couldn't bear to watch it.
If I had known this earlier, why would I have done it in the first place? There must be something hateful about pitiful people.
There were several carriages outside the clinic. The people sitting in the carriages were probably the sick, and those surrounding them outside were probably their elders and family members.
If one person gets a serious illness, the whole family will suffer.
Really.
