661 I Can't Fall
"I didn't think anything."
"Mom, I'm coming over in a couple of days to learn how to make baby clothes from Sister Xier. When the baby is born, I, as his aunt, will have to make two sets of clothes for him myself. I also want to make a cape for Muyang."
"Okay, our Jin'er is very sensible now and knows how to make clothes for my nephew."
Jin'er, who was almost eleven years old, blushed and said, "What are you talking about, mother? Isn't it normal for an aunt to make clothes for her nephew?"
She was a little ignorant before, but she changed, didn't she? Now she has a good relationship with Sister Xier.
If you think about it, there is nothing to be embarrassed about their relationship. I guess everyone in Beijing knows about their father's affairs, and no one will talk about it.
"Mom, please go and keep Dad company. Dad feels so pitiful being alone in the city." Chang Yan suddenly said.
Zhang Jinyu looked at his youngest son and asked, "What will you and your brother do after your mother leaves?"
Chang Yan said, "That's easy. Sister should go to my aunt's house, and I will go to my brother's farm. I will practice martial arts with Pingxuan in the morning, go to the academy together during the day, and return to the farm in the afternoon. If I don't understand something, I can ask the headmaster."
Zhang Jinyu's idea moved. The chief dean now lives in the manor. He goes to the Hanlin Academy to work in the morning and returns to the manor at noon to mainly teach Mu Yang music, chess, calligraphy and painting. Mei Niang said that Pingxuan will come back from the academy in the afternoon, so if they catch up, they can study together.
Who wouldn't be tempted by such a good thing? But how can I be so embarrassed?
"How can mother have the nerve to trouble your uncle Wan?"
"Mom, Pingxuan said that as long as you agree, it's fine. How could such a nice person like you not agree? I'm also the eldest brother's younger brother.
You should go and take care of my dad. If you don't go, my dad will bring some concubines back. Hey, mom, why did you hit me?"
Zhang Jinyu frowned: "You are so young, where did you learn all this?"
Chang Yan pouted and said, "What's so strange about knowing this? One of my classmates said that his father had more than a dozen concubines, all of whom were arranged by him while he was in office."
Jin Er also frowned and looked at her mother, "Mom, let's not talk about anything else. For almost three years, you and Dad have been separated. Dad only came home for one or two days at the end of the month. This time when he came home, I saw that Dad had lost a lot of weight."
"The Chinese New Year is only two months away, and your eldest brother is not at home. How can I trouble your uncle Wan? Let's talk about it when your eldest brother comes back."
…
After discussing the matter, Sun Sicheng and Ping An returned to the room.
"Ping An, what happened today? Captain Fang didn't explain it clearly."
Ping An told the whole story, "Master, Xiao Wu said there was a mule cart chasing us, so I stopped the carriage. As soon as I saw the driver, I knew that my dream was real. Master, you have seen that man too. He was the tall guy who argued with Captain Fang about you, me, and Lord Yuanzheng the day we entered the city.
The Taoist master came into my dream to remind me, but I can’t let the dream come true, because I haven’t been a disciple of the master long enough.”
Sun Sicheng felt sad: "But people with serious diseases are most likely to be infected."
"Master, since the Taoist master reminded me that in order to resolve this fatal disaster, I have to treat his family. The Taoist master said that he was unwilling to pick me up so early, which proves that I will definitely be fine."
Ping An thought about how he had asked for divination three times before leaving, but all the results were wrong. This might be because of this incident.
Fortunately, there is a Taoist master.
Otherwise, not only myself, but also Lin Feng and Xiao Wu will die with me.
He can't die now. Mu Yang is still young, and A Wu has a baby in her belly. His mother can't live without him, and his younger brothers and sisters have not been arranged yet.
"What's the point of me telling you now? Didn't you just act first and ask for your permission later?"
Ping An pushed the master to sit on the edge of the kang, took the hot water bucket from Lin Feng, went to the washroom to get a foot basin, and poured half a bucket of water, "Master, Ping An will wash your feet."
Sun Sicheng felt warm in his heart, "No need."
As he said this, Ping An was already taking off his shoes, and he didn't move.
The person squatting on the ground is his only apprentice and son-in-law. It's okay to ask him to help wash his feet.
"Master, what do you think of the prescriptions of Doctor Liao and Doctor Huang?"
Sun Sicheng whispered, "Their prescription is not bad. It also contains ephedra, cinnamon twig, white peony root, and asarum. Each has its own emphasis. I won't say more. I still like your prescription. The medicine will be distributed tomorrow. Normally, the effect can be seen tomorrow night."
Ping An knew that the reason why Doctor Liao and Doctor Huang insisted on their own prescriptions was that they believed in themselves, but more importantly, they hoped to get a great credit. The disaster in Yuhang was serious this time, and if they could turn the tide, not to mention anything else, at least this matter would definitely be mentioned again many years later.
"Master, in front of outsiders, you must say that it was the two of us who came up with this idea. I can't be too prominent.
In fact, we really don’t care about our merits. We are already marquises, and our annual income is already very high. It is not necessarily good to receive any more rewards.”
"Be careful with your words, and do not say this in front of others."
Sun Sicheng thought the same in his heart, but they had no say in whether to reward him or not.
"Go to sleep. You still have to treat others tomorrow morning. There's no need to rush here. You still have Huo Zhi to take care of."
There are a lot more patients at the city gate today, and there are also many more in the city. It may not be a bad thing to return to Huo Zhi safely.
…
The next day was dawn.
Ping An took Lin Feng and Xiao Wu away, and this time Xiao Ming was also there.
Hu Zi and Fang Wu also wanted to follow, but Ping An didn't let them because Xiao Shan had to have someone by his side.
Mr. Shi Sanye was still staying by Sun Sicheng's side. His four guards came and Ping An got three heads from each of them yesterday. They were thankful that he heard their master's cry for help.
Ping An and his friends arrived at a roadside house. Huo Zhi was in good condition, which made him very excited.
"I'll give you another acupuncture treatment. Acupuncture detoxification and medicinal soup are both effective."
Huo Zhi shook his head: "Don't say such things outside. There are not many doctors who know acupuncture, and some only know a little bit. If you say that, I'm afraid many people will ask you to save their lives. By then, you and the eldest master will be too busy to handle it."
Ping An smiled bitterly, that was indeed the truth.
"Brother Huo, you should take your medicine as usual today. I have to go to Hujia Village later. There are still a few people waiting to be rescued."
After Ping An gave Huo Zhi the injection, he didn't have time to tell him in detail what happened in the city yesterday. He only told him that Godfather Hao had arrived.
"I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going to have dinner. It will take me half an hour to get to Hujia Village. I also need to go to Fangjia Village."
When they arrived at Hujia Village, the yamen runners were distributing five-flavor soup medicine packets to the villagers.
Ping'an waited by the roadside until all the villagers had received the medicine and returned to the village before he came over. Hu Songyun immediately drove the mule cart over.
"Master Ping An, my wife and child felt much better yesterday. They took the medicine and didn't have a fever last night."
Ping An took their pulse with a smile.
"Yes, they are indeed much better. I will give them another acupuncture treatment today. Master Hu, you are taking care of them now. You cannot avoid contact with them. You must be careful."
"Master Ping An, I cleaned the house as you asked. I was also very careful and used alcohol and lime to disinfect it. I can't fall down."
