313 This is my home
The last day of August.
The sun sets.
They finally arrived in the capital.
Ten miles outside the city gate, they were picked up on horseback by Shunfeng and Shunshui. Ming Wanli had sent them a letter by carrier pigeon yesterday.
"Mr. Sun, my lord."
Sun Sicheng smiled and looked at his two capable subordinates: "Have you informed the government?"
Shunfeng said, "Master, as soon as we received the news, we immediately notified the master and his family. We also went to Mr. Sun's house, but we haven't notified Mr. Chang yet."
"It's okay, there's no rush. Be safe. I'll let Shunfeng take your people to your own house today. Will you come back with me?"
Ping An smiled and said, “Master, I will go back to my home with them today, and I will shamelessly accept the house you gave me.
Tomorrow, let Jixiang pick me up to visit your home to visit the old master and the master. The day after tomorrow, I will go to my father's home. Sir, it will be two days later to visit the master's wife."
Sun Wen got out of the car and said, "Master, I will get back in my car and go home directly. It's safe. There is no rush to visit the master's wife. I will arrange other things first."
Sun Sicheng said, "That's fine, Ping'an. You come to my house tomorrow and Ah Wen will come as well. After lunch, we will go to see the manor and house given by the emperor and take a look at Ping'an's other properties.
Ping'an, I'm not being nosy, but don't tell anyone about the other properties your husband has bought for you, including this house, and all your dividends. If your father and stepmother ask, just say you live in my villa.
There is no need to hide the house and farm given by the emperor. You can't hide it. Money can move people's hearts. You are still young and underage. You can say that they are yours, or you can let your parents take care of them. Do you understand?"
Ping An nodded: "Master, I know."
He had been racking his brains to make life more comfortable for himself and his mother since he was six or seven years old. How could he possibly be doing this for someone else?
He is willing to give it differently from leaving it all to others.
He feels at ease only when his things are in his own hands. A master is different from a teacher. They think about him wholeheartedly and plan for him.
Two years ago, his master used his dividends to help him buy a farm and a shop in Jiangnan.
A quarter of an hour later.
Ping'an looked at the city gate not far away, which looked particularly solemn under the setting sun. The dark-colored buildings merged with the city gate in the afterglow, as if it were an ancient painting, and the people and cars coming in and out became the best embellishment in the painting.
Beijing, here I come.
Erqiang, Fang Wu and others were also stunned. The capital city was indeed the capital city. Even the city gate was so grand.
After entering the city gate, Huo Zhi said goodbye to Sun Sicheng and Sun Wen, winked at Ping An, and left with his men.
The Huo family has long had their own house and business in the capital.
When he first arrived in the capital, he would definitely go back to his home first. He had already discussed with Ping An that if there was anything, he would go to Baicaotang or Huashoutang to deliver the message.
At the same time, Sun Yat-sen, Ping An and Sun Sicheng all took their troops back to their respective homes.
Even though it's still early, it will be dark soon after we go back to clean up, wash up and eat.
Shunfeng rode his horse in front to lead the way. After half an hour, he stopped.
"Master Ping An, we're home now."
Ping An got off the car and saw a large yard in front of him. There were houses on both sides not far away. The houses here looked nice. It should be the wealthy area at that time.
Shunfeng quickly asked for the door to be opened, and a couple in their thirties trotted over.
"Master Ping'an, they are a couple. The uncle is called Zheng Shitou and his wife is called Zheng Pozi. They were originally from the manor. The couple did a good job and were arranged to stay with you by the eldest master.
Uncle Zheng, Aunt Zheng, this is your master, you should serve him well from now on."
The two men knelt down with a plop: "Greetings, Master."
"Get up. You don't have to kneel down all the time. Uncle Zheng, Aunt Zheng, take these people of mine in. If there are not enough quilts, go buy some."
Shunfeng said hurriedly, "Master Ping'an, Uncle Ming wrote down the number of people in the letter yesterday. We have basically bought all the daily necessities. If there are any shortages, let Uncle Zheng buy them. You see, if you go straight ahead along this street, you will reach Baicaotang in just 25 minutes. The master's home is not far from here. Da Wu and Xiao Wu have both been here before."
"Okay, you can go back. Jixiang will come to pick me up tomorrow. And thank you and Shunshui for helping me with a lot of things. I will thank you later. It's a mess now."
Shunfeng laughed and said, "Master Ping'an, aren't we doing what we should do? Fine, I'll go back."
Many of the people brought back by the master will be arranged in the other courtyards. It is impossible to bring them all back to the main house, so he will be busy for a while when he returns.
Ping An walked into the yard and saw more than 20 people waiting for his orders.
He just took a rough look and thought that the front and back yards should be the same. The yard was very large, with about seven or eight rooms once entered.
"Madam Dawu, Madam Xiaoshan, you guys settle the people down first. Aunt Zheng, you hurry up and boil water and cook. Tongmiao and the other two should go to the stove to help. I'll make the details in two days."
"Yes, Master."
Ping'an already had an arrangement in mind. He planned to arrange for Xiaoshan and his wife and Master Qin to live in the farm, and Dawu and his wife would stay in the house permanently. Dawu would be his housekeeper, and Dawu's wife would take care of the chores in the house.
It is estimated that other people, including himself, will often live in the manor after they settle down.
The gentleman said that this farm was very big and good, and also close to the city.
Then he has a lot of room to maneuver.
In addition to growing medicinal herbs and farming, he can also grow tea, fruit trees, flowers, and open a small workshop.
So many people cannot just sit idle, they must be kept busy and their pockets must be filled.
Qingshi and other medical students should help more in the clinic so that they can learn something.
The master has agreed to let several female doctors from Baicaotang take care of Tong Miao, Leng Yue and Leng Shui.
Ping'an felt unhappy when he thought about having to go to the Imperial College every day in the future.
Until he was fourteen, he was basically free. He had never been to school and had never been under any real constraints. Suddenly, he had to get up early to study and go home in the evening. He only had one day off in ten days. He didn't know how to get used to it.
But he was really confused about what his future would be like if he didn't study. His master had opened Baicaotang all over Da Zhou. Would he also open a clinic in the future to steal his master's business?
That definitely won't work.
He was unwilling to work in someone else's clinic for his whole life, even if that person was his master.
Unless you become famous enough that people will invite you to stay at home, and you are rich, you won’t make any money.
I sighed when I thought about Ping An. For now, I can only study hard first. I haven't taken the exam for scholar yet, and it's still too early to take the imperial examination. I just have to take things slowly.
