625 I was so scared for the first time
In the middle of the night, the weather changed.
The next morning, there was a drizzle in the sky.
Mrs. Wu and Mrs. Ma still took their people to Hanshan Temple. They were worried and had no other choice but to ask for amulets.
Ping'an asked Xiao Wu to go to the farm first yesterday to help Da Wu donate a batch of grain and medicinal materials to the court, and then prepare some things for himself and his people that they would need in the next few months.
After breakfast, he took Mu Yang to Zhang's house by himself, and then turned back to send Mu Yang directly to the village.
He didn't care about other things. The dean said he would take care of it.
It is indeed more convenient and convincing for Zhu Yuanzheng to handle these matters.
The master had disappeared early in the morning as he had more things to do. With such a big event happening in Jiangnan, as the owner of Baicaotang, he naturally had to donate money and medicine, and he also had to arrange all the big and small matters in the capital.
Ping An brought Mu Yang into Zhang's house. His father and others had already arrived.
As soon as Mu Yang entered, he was hugged by Zhang Jinping.
"Uncle, I haven't paid my respects to my great-grandfather, aunt, grandparents, and they are all here. You can't do that while holding me."
Mu Yang's crisp words made everyone laugh.
Zhang Jinyu was also very surprised.
Zhang Jinping leaned forward and said, "Be good, kiss me and I'll let you go."
Ping An noticed that the boy put his two little hands around Uncle Zhang's face and kissed him with a loud "slap" sound. In fact, he was probably kissing his own hands.
Zhang Jinping was satisfied.
Mu Yang bowed to everyone one by one. He was wearing a light crimson outfit today and carrying a small backpack of the same color. His jade-like face made him look extremely adorable.
The old man picked him up and said, "Muyang, you're carrying a schoolbag today."
"Grandfather, Mu Yang will go to the farm to study soon."
Chang Chunfeng squeezed over and said, "Muyang, let grandpa hold you for a minute. Grandpa can't hold you anymore."
Mu Yang rushed towards him: "Grandfather, I think my great-grandfather is very strong."
The old man rolled his eyes at his son-in-law. Isn't he very strong? He snatched the child away as soon as he held it in his hands. It would be great if Chuck could have another cute baby like this next year.
Zhang Ce has been married for two and a half years and has a one-year-old granddaughter. His granddaughter-in-law is pregnant again and the baby will be born next spring.
Ping'an's eyes narrowed into slits when he saw his biological father and Mu Yang asking and answering questions. His stepmother and aunt came over to tease them and also smiled like a flower.
Strangely enough, his stepmother had never been close to him, and was just polite to him at most. But she loved Mu Yang very much, buying him food, clothes and daily necessities. In order to see the child, she even went to his house several times with his biological father.
Ping An walked towards Zhang Jinping.
"Uncle."
He repeated to Uncle Zhang what the dean had said yesterday.
Zhang Jinping's eyes sparkled: "Master Yuanzheng is really amazing. I thought this job was for Master Li."
"Master Li?"
"He's a man from the Ministry of Revenue. He has a strange temper, but he's a nice guy. He does things in a methodical way. This time, he and I are both assisting General Hao."
A servant came running over and said, "Master, General Hao's men are here to invite you."
Zhang Jinping stood up and said, "Your godfather Hao really loves you. I'm leaving, probably because of the change in the sky. I have to leave tomorrow even if I have to be stabbed. It's already been twelve or thirteen days, and I don't know what Jiangnan has become."
Everyone in the room fell silent.
Ping An said, "Grandfather, Dad, Aunt, Mother, I have to take Mu Yang to the farm. There may be a lot of things to do in the afternoon."
Chang Chunfeng really couldn't bear to leave his grandson behind. "I'll go with you to the farm. Once we get familiar with it, we can come back a few more times."
"Okay, then you can still hold Mu Yang, Grandfather. I'm leaving first and won't come to say goodbye tomorrow. I've built a small courtyard for you on the farm, but you can only move in after two months."
The old man held Ping An's hand and said, "This trip to Jiangnan is very special. Your uncle said that in the past two days, letters asking for help have come one after another. You must take good care of yourselves. Your uncle has entrusted it to you. Don't look at him because he is old and usually careless."
"Don't worry, my uncle is in charge of the medicinal materials and will basically not separate them from us."
Ping An approached the old man and whispered, "My master said that no matter what time it is, we will leave the best medicine for our people. These medicines don't need to be given by the court. My master and I will bring them ourselves."
The old man smiled. This child was really thoughtful. With good medicine, Sicheng and Ping'an were there. He felt relieved.
Ping An and his biological father took Mu Yang to the village. Mu Yang was only taken home once every ten days, and he would stay in the village the rest of the time. It would be nice if his biological father could visit him occasionally.
Chang Chunfeng looked at the drizzle outside the car, then looked at the little grandson in his arms, and his heart was filled with sorrow.
"I'm afraid the weather will be like this for the next few days. With so many people traveling so far, we can't stay in an inn along the way. We can only live in tents or carriages. It's really too difficult. Stay safe, maybe your medical team will go first."
"That's indeed possible. It's hard to get food and grass on the road when it rains, so it's okay to go ahead. Dad, don't worry, I will come back safely."
Chang Chunfeng saw Mu Yang nodding his head, and hurriedly lifted his long gown to cover him. "Your wife will give birth after the Lantern Festival, so she should be able to return home in the twelfth lunar month, right?"
"Dad, to be honest, I have no idea. It will take three months to go back and forth. If everything goes well, it should be possible."
…
In the evening, the master and his disciple returned to the Marquis's Mansion, and several men from the Sun family entered the large study.
"Grandfather, a letter just arrived from Jiangnan this afternoon. The disaster area has expanded to a lot of places. Seven or eight counties have been affected. In the worst-hit areas, many people have drowned. The water is so high that it's hard to retrieve the bodies. The local government is having trouble controlling the situation."
The old man's mouth trembled: "You and Ping An have to go this time. Since you can't hide, just protect yourself. Except for life, nothing else matters. Fame and fortune are empty in front of life.
We have a lot of people in Jiangnan, so we will protect them as much as possible. We will bring more medicine this time. At worst, Baicaotang will not make any money this year."
"Yes, Grandfather. General Hao decided this afternoon that our medical team should go ahead with the medicines. He will give us a few hundred soldiers. They can't move fast with the large amount of food.
Tomorrow at 5am, no matter what the weather is, come rain or shine. Dad, Siyuan, Changqing, the family clinic and the hospital are counting on you. Awu, Xiner, and Changyuan's wife are also counting on you."
Sun Siyuan's eyes were red. If possible, he really wanted to go to Jiangnan in place of his elder brother. Unfortunately, his medical skills were average, so he couldn't do such a thing, and the court would not agree to it.
Sun Yinan stared at his son: "Sicheng, no matter what, bring Ping An back safely, whether it is a merit or not, our Sun family has everything now, bring Wanli and He Jin, and bring a few more guards, no matter how kind a person is, they will do anything when they are extremely hungry and poor.
Baicaotang has developed to this point. The Sun family has gone from being an ordinary doctor's family to a marquis's mansion. They are both rich and noble, but many things are beyond our control. For example, I am a little unsure about what Sicheng and Ping'an experienced during their two visits to the palace. Is this a good thing or a bad thing? "
"Yinan, the child will leave tomorrow, why are you saying all this?" The old man glared at his son.
Sun Yinan suddenly covered his face with his hands, his shoulders trembling. "Dad, I'm really scared. There is a high probability that there is an epidemic in Jiangnan. No matter how good a doctor is, once you get sick, he may not be able to cure you. The epidemic is ever-changing. Some of the more serious ones can kill people in a day."
Sun Yinan burst into tears.
This was the first time he felt so scared in all these years.
