673 The Sour Mr. Shi
The next morning.
Huo Zhi and Wang Qing accompanied him all the way to the Ten-Li Pavilion.
Ping An said, "My two brothers, please go back. After sending you a thousand miles away, there will always be a farewell. I won't say anything else. Please take care of your health. Your health is the foundation of everything."
Huo Zhi and Wang Qing both had tears in their eyes. This time, two of them, no, all three of them had escaped death.
Life and death are just a matter of opening and closing your eyes for yourself, but what about your family?
Huo Zhi said, "I really can't bear to leave you, Ping An. When I manage Hua Shou Tang better, I can leave Jiangnan and look for you."
Wang Qing smiled and said, "It's safe. I hope I can be transferred back to Beijing soon. I don't want to not be able to see you for ten or eight years."
"Okay, before that, if your eldest son goes to Beijing to study, you can send him to my house if I am still in the capital."
Both of these children are very good, smart and polite.
Huo Zhi said embarrassedly: "To be honest, I really have this idea, but I owe you too much, so it's hard to ask for it."
The same is true for Wang Qing.
Ping An laughed and said, "There is nothing to be embarrassed about between us. I just thought that the child was too young and it was not worth it for him to take both the county and prefectural examinations. It would be fine after he passed the examination."
Five years later, Huo Zhi went to the capital with his wife and children. Under his management, Huashoutang firmly established itself as the top medical company in Jiangnan. With a trusted person in charge, he did not have to stay in Jiangnan for a long time and could travel between the capital and Jiangnan.
In the same year, Wang Qing was transferred to Dingzhou as prefect, which was only a day's journey from the capital.
The three brothers fulfilled their original wish and occasionally met up to have a drink.
This year, Ping An accepted their eldest son as a student, and brought him and his two younger brothers with him to teach them well.
Of course, this is a later story.
Ping An got on the carriage and it started moving. He looked back and saw Huo Zhi and Wang Qing waving at him.
He felt a little reluctant. He was not a sentimental person, but these were the only true friends he had in his life. He didn't know how many years would pass after they parted. It might be three, five, or ten years. How many decades or eight years could there be in a lifetime?
"Ping An, the relationship between the three of you is really great, but why do men need so much affection?"
Mr. Shi Sanye's voice was a little inappropriate, but Ping An was not surprised. This was just the personality of this master, carefree but without any bad intentions.
His own car was so big and nice that he insisted on squeezing into his and his master's car.
"Master Wei, we are parting with a good friend. I don't know when we will meet again. I can't help feeling a little sad."
Sun Sicheng looked at the gray sky, full of worry. "I'm really worried about this weather. I'm afraid there will be heavy snow on the way. Then the carriage will not be able to move, and so many people will not be able to stay in the inn. The twelfth month of the lunar year is the worst for traveling."
Mr. Shi San was eager to try: "Master, can we go ahead? It's most comfortable for more than 30 people to walk."
Ping An shook his head and said, "Master Wei, we can't go ahead for now. Many of these people have just recovered from serious illnesses, and it's winter now. Even if we are wrapped in quilts in the car, it's okay during the day, but it's hard to endure at night.
If we leave first, these people will be uneasy and possibly dissatisfied. It will be difficult for us to be the generals. Besides, if we leave first, the director and the imperial doctors will definitely follow us, and then these soldiers will be even less protected. There really aren't many good doctors among those ordinary doctors."
Sun Sicheng looked at his apprentice with a smile, and every word Ping An said was what he was thinking in his heart.
There are probably only two master and disciple in the world who can understand each other's thoughts with just a glance.
Mr. Shi Sanye looked at Ping An, then at Sun Sicheng. As soon as he saw Sun Sicheng's expression, he knew that what Ping An said had touched his heart.
He felt sour in his heart. It was not that he had not thought of these things, but he was just careless and not used to being careful.
"It doesn't matter to me. I can cover myself tightly and walk slowly, but I will have to celebrate the New Year on the way."
He became excited again. He had never done anything during the New Year holidays. Everything was meaningful only after trying it. Only then could he brag about it to his cousins after returning to Wisteria Mountain.
"Master Wei, it's not that we can go first." Ping An said with a smile.
Mr. Shi was stunned: "Didn't you say it's not possible?"
"Not for now, but we can do it after the New Year. That will be a month later, and those who have just recovered from the disease will be fine by then."
Mr. Shi San looked at him sideways.
Sun Sicheng chuckled.
Ping An also laughed.
"Okay, Ping An, I'll keep half of what I said. I'll teach you kung fu later. I'll teach you half and keep the other half. Let's see what you will do?"
Ping An didn't respond: "Master, Master Wei doesn't seem to know that Bei Feng Lie was brewed by us, right?"
"What?" Mr. Shi's voice broke.
The person who murdered him that day was Bei Fenglie, who was drunk.
But that was because I was not careful. I can't blame the wine, nor the winemaker.
That wine is really strong, it's really good wine.
"Ping An, was this wine brewed by you and your disciples? This wine is really to my taste. I will drink it every day when I arrive in the capital."
"Master Wei, you can drink, but you have to control the amount. If you get drunk once, you can't drink for five days. If you get drunk twice, you can't drink for ten days."
Master Shi San looked at Sun Sicheng and said, "Why don't you take care of him? How can an apprentice treat his master like this?"
Sun Sicheng curled his lips: "He also manages me in this way. He has to manage things that are not right, even if he is the master. Master Shi, your second brother clearly told Ping An to stay safe, so he can't disobey the words of the second uncle, right?"
The corners of Master Shi San's lips curled up. He was in a very happy mood. It felt good to be controlled.
He likes it.
"Master Shi, Ping An has a talent for brewing wine, not just Bei Feng Lie. He can also brew purple wine, peach blossom wine, plum wine, and fruit wine, each with its own flavor."
Master Shi San hugged Ping An's arm and said, "Wow, I am such a blessed man. In Zi Teng Mountain, everyone says that I am the most blessed. Now I have such a good disciple.
Ping An, what if I can't bear to leave after two years? I now understand Huo Zhi and Wang Qing's feelings a little bit."
Sun Sicheng burst into laughter.
Mr. Shi Sanye has a very good personality, and it is great for Ping An to have such a martial arts master.
Three days later, it snowed in the middle of the night. Fortunately, the snow was not heavy and melted as soon as it hit the ground. It slowly stopped after daybreak.
Zhu Yuanzheng finished his last bite of steamed bun and said, "It hasn't snowed much this year, which is good news for those of us who are traveling, but auspicious snow means a good harvest, and severe floods are likely to be followed by severe droughts. I don't know what the weather will be like next year."
Zhang Jinping rubbed his hands and said, "I won't think about these things now. I just hope it won't snow or rain in the next month and a half, and the sun will shine brightly every day."
He looked at Ping An who was not far away and said, "I really admire little Ping An. He came out and collected several people, but there was only one big man, and the rest were children and women. There are a lot of people like this in the pawnbrokers. Why did he take them all the way here?"
Ping An touched Hu Niuniu's head and said, "Master Hu, you must cover the children tightly with quilts during the journey to prevent them from catching a cold."
Escort Hu grinned and said, "We are riding in your carriage. It is warm inside. I have never ridden in such a nice carriage in my life."
