618 Chen Sheng's troubles
When Sun Sicheng heard this, he immediately became anxious and angry.
He has a lot of people in Jiangnan, and he and Ping An also have many industries in Jiangnan.
Let’s not talk about the industry, but nothing must happen to people.
Wanli and He Jin quickly led their men out.
He had a premonition that this time he and Ping An might have to go to Jiangnan. If possible, he would try to go alone. He still couldn't bear to let Ping An go, not to mention that Awu was almost four months pregnant.
The hospital has been open for four months and is packed every day, not only with people coming to see a doctor, but also to buy health tea and medicinal food.
Ping An opened a health-care section two months ago, with Qingshi in charge and the prescriptions provided by Ping An. There are more than a dozen kinds of health-care teas, all pre-mixed and packed in small paper bags. You can go home and make a bag for every pot you drink, which is very convenient.
Medicinal meals need to be ordered in advance, and you can send someone to pick them up at the appointed time. It is also OK if the hospital delivers them to your door, but an additional delivery fee will be charged. Who can be considered a poor person if they can afford medicated meals?
The daily income from health preservation is very considerable, and Ping An is quite talented in making money.
The beginning of the afternoon.
Sun Sicheng and Ping An were notified to enter the palace immediately.
The master and the disciple looked at each other and realized that they couldn't refuse the trip to the south of the Yangtze River.
Ping An followed the driver into the car: "Tomorrow is the end of July. My parents must have been delayed on the way, otherwise they should have arrived home two days ago."
Wan Changsheng and his wife did delay their journey for two days, not because of themselves, but because of Chen Sheng.
Wan Changsheng's family and Chen Xuan's family went to Qingzhou Prefecture to wait for Chen Sheng. They came together and naturally returned together. Chen Sheng only had two servants and a guard who was also a coachman, so he would not be assured if he went to the capital alone.
Wan Changsheng and Chen Xuan and his group settled down at the inn. When they asked around, they found out that Chen Sheng hadn't arrived yet.
"Uncle Wan, today is the tenth day of the seventh month. We agreed with Chen Sheng to meet here at this time. It should be here by now."
It takes about twenty days to get from here to the capital. Even if we set off tomorrow, it will be the end of the month.
The court gave them three months of leave. If the journey was really long, they could ask for an extra half month.
For such a journey, they can ask for an extra half month's leave, but it all has to be recorded in the book, so it is best not to exceed three months.
We will set off on May 8th, and it would be best if you can report on August 8th.
It is said that it will take about 20 days from Gyeongju to the capital, but there are female relatives on the way and Sanqiang’s wife is a little carsick, so it may not arrive by the end of the month.
"Chen Xuan, I'll ask Er Qiang to take Hu Zi to other inns to look for him. If that doesn't work, we'll go to his grandfather's county office tomorrow morning to look for him. Could he be delayed by illness?"
Chen Sheng's home.
Old Master Chen looked at his wife and his second son's family with a gloomy face.
"I was wondering why Sheng'er and his family of three didn't show up after waiting for so long at the county government office. It turns out you're the ones holding them back."
Chen Sheng hated it to death.
Before leaving Japan, I went to the county government office to say goodbye to my grandfather, and then went to the provincial capital to wait for Uncle Wan and the others.
Who would have thought that his grandmother would actually ask him to take his second uncle's family of four with him to take up the post.
That’s not all. He was also asked to find a good job for his second uncle, and then bring his second uncle’s two sons to the Wan family to have the top scholar teach them, and at least they must pass the imperial examination and become a jinshi.
He is so funny.
The eldest cousin is already twenty-two years old, but he is just a student. The youngest cousin is seventeen, but he is not even a student.
They were going to destroy him.
"Master, how can you say that I am holding you back? Sheng'er is lucky to have a good stepfather, who has a son who is the top scholar. Sheng'er can get the top scholar's guidance and live in his house for three years.
Why can't we help his two cousins? They are all brothers, so we can't live in seclusion forever, right? We can give them some gifts, and it would be best if the top scholar can give them some advice, but we may not be able to live in their house.
Sheng'er was assigned a good official position, to a position near the capital. Then he could take his uncle and aunt with him and find a job for his uncle in the county government. His aunt could run between the capital and the county government, so he could take care of both her husband and son.
I am old now and don't want to run away, but after the master resigns from office and retires, we can go to the capital to live together, and we can sell the property here and buy some more in the capital."
Chen Sheng's heart sank.
Does grandma want him to die?
I went to my uncle's house a few days ago, and my uncle's family treated him with smiles from beginning to end. My grandfather is not in good health now, and he always cries when he sees him. He knows that he is missing his mother.
No matter how naughty a daughter is, her grandfather will treat her like a treasure.
But my grandmother only treated my second uncle's family as treasures.
He looked at his grandfather. Unexpectedly, his grandfather did not scold his grandmother. He just listened quietly without saying a word.
His heart sank to the bottom.
A quarter of an hour later.
Old Master Chen suddenly stood up and walked out the door.
"Second uncle, seventh uncle, thirteenth uncle, my two cousins, you are here. I am really sorry to bother you. Please come in."
Chen Sheng hurried over and bowed to everyone.
There are several elderly people, the oldest is almost 80 years old and the youngest is over 50 years old.
Wait until everyone is seated.
Old Master Chen bowed deeply to his uncles and said, "Second uncle, seventh uncle, thirteenth uncle, our Chen family also had a prefect in our ancestors. In my generation, I barely passed the imperial examination and became a fellow Jinshi. In this life, I have only been a county magistrate. Now I am sixty-three years old. In two years, I will be able to retire.
Fortunately, Sheng'er had the help of noble people in the past few years. Although he passed the imperial examination and was assigned to an official position near the capital, this is much better than my situation back then.
Sheng'er is 24 years old this year and is considered young and promising. I had hoped that he would work hard for a few years, bring more honor to our Chen family, and support the next generation of the Chen family in the future.
A few days ago, I made an appointment with him to meet at the county government office, and then accompany him to the provincial capital to meet the top scholar's parents so that I could thank them in person. Sheng'er has been living in their home for the past few years, and his food and drink have been provided by them.
But I waited and waited, but Sheng'er didn't show up. I hurried home and only then did I find out what had happened.
This old woman actually wanted Sheng'er to take his second uncle's family to the capital.
He asked Sheng'er, who had never taken office, to help his second uncle find a good job, and asked Sheng'er to shamelessly take his two cousins to the home of the top scholar, saying that he must pass the imperial examinations and become a juren or jinshi.
It really laughs me. My two grandsons have been spoiled by their grandmother over the years. One is still a student at the age of 22, and the other is nothing at the age of 17. With such knowledge, they expect to pass the imperial examinations and become Jinshi?
There are thousands of scholars in Qingzhou City, but not many Juren can be produced in three years. There are thousands of Juren in the whole Great Zhou, but only 300 Jinshi and Jinshi can be produced in three years. They are not trying to make things difficult for Sheng'er, but they want to ruin the child and the hope of our Chen family."
The three elderly men glared at the old lady and her second son's family with gloomy faces.
How could someone harm someone like this? Or was it his own grandson or nephew who had finally passed the imperial examination and became an official.
"My three uncles, my two cousins, I asked you to come here today to be my witnesses."
