449 is back
At the end of the month, Fu An's mother finally arrived.
When the morning light shone on the Wang family compound, Ping An, Fu An and Chen Xuan knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to the old man, the master and the master's wife.
"Ping An (Fu An) (Chen Xuan) would like to thank Master and Master for their teachings over the past two and a half years, and Master's Wife for her meticulous care."
The eyes of the Old Master and Master Wang were red. As old people grow sentimental, they can't help themselves.
The eldest lady's eyes were also filled with tears: "Ping An, take them up, and come back to live for a while when you have time. You are only sixteen years old, but you have lived here twice for more than four years. This is also your home."
The old man waved his hand and said, "Let's go. We can't delay any longer. If we delay any longer, we won't be able to stay at the inn at night. Be safe. Don't put pressure on yourself for the exam. A small top three is already very good. There's no need to fight for a big top three. You don't have to listen to your husband. Fu An, Chen Xuan, you too, just do your best."
Master Wang was glaring at Ping An from behind, as if saying, why don't you try to listen?
I didn't say a word else. I told the three people everything I needed to say in these days.
Ping'an and the other two said goodbye to Shaoqi and Shaoyu who were standing beside them, and then reluctantly got on the carriage.
The Wang family chased them out of the hospital.
Watching the carriage getting smaller and smaller, the old man took out a telescope from his arms, which was given to him by Ping An the night before.
There are eight telescopes in total. Ping'an only gave two to the master before he left, one for the master and one for Uncle Ming and the others. This is the third one given away.
The old man looked through the telescope and saw that the carriage was obviously much bigger, which made Master Wang and the two young masters standing by very envious.
Ping An is really willing to give everything to his master.
"Dad, let me see this, let me see Ping'an's carriage. This damn child only wants to give such a good thing to the master, but doesn't know how to be filial to the master."
The old man slapped his son, but still handed the telescope to him.
Master Wang picked it up and looked at it: "This thing is really good. The carriage team has come closer in an instant, and the nearby trees have also grown a lot bigger."
The old man snorted.
"Do you think this thing is easy to get? How can such a good thing be given to both you and me at the same time? It's really stupid. Ping An is filial to me. I hope I can go for a walk around the area and see the beautiful mountains and rivers. Once I feel better, my body will naturally be better. Come back."
After walking a few steps, he shook his head and sighed, "People become sentimental when they get old. I started thinking about this child before he even left Yingtian City. This child is also very thoughtful. Oh, I won't say more. I have to go back and lie down."
Parting is painful, especially for an old man like him who is in his twilight years. He is leaving today and doesn’t know if he will have the chance to see his children again.
The age of seventy-six is rare in the whole Great Zhou.
After leaving the city gate, Fu An felt a little melancholy: "The three of us studied together for two and a half years, and we were together day and night, but halfway through, Brother Xuan had to go back to his hometown. When Ping'an arrives in Yong'an, I have to go to the capital alone. I can't bear to think about it."
Ping An smiled and said, "The provincial exam will be in October, and the spring exam will be in February. If all three of us pass the exam, we will have to rush to the capital at the end of the year. The teacher and the old man have taught us for almost three years, so it's not difficult to pass the exam."
Chen Xuan sighed, "The provincial examination will end on October 18th, and the results will be out at the end of October. It's safe. If I really pass, I still want to go to the capital to test the waters. I will leave when the results come out. It will take at least 20 days to arrive in Yong'an, which is around November 20th. Can you wait for me? But in this way, it will be the middle of the twelfth lunar month when I arrive in the capital."
Ping An nodded: "Chen Xuan, I'll wait for you. If it snows heavily, you can spend the New Year at my house. It's also okay to leave in the first month of the year."
Chen Xuan wanted him to leave first if he really couldn't make it, but after thinking about it, he held back and said nothing. It would be much safer to have a safe journey to the capital.
He was selfish for once.
Ping An thought about it and said, "Chen Xuan, if you are confident after the exam, you can leave as soon as the exam is over. When you have the result at home, you can tell Shopkeeper Qin and have him send a pigeon to me. This way, we won't be delayed.
To be honest, my parents, brothers and sisters will definitely go with me to the capital this time. We are not afraid of anything else but heavy snow."
In fact, the gentleman wanted to be safe, and still wanted to take the exam in the spring three years later. He would be 19 years old when he took the exam next year, and 23 in three years.
A bit too big.
Chen Xuan is three years older than him and is already twenty-one this year. Mr. Chen is extremely anxious about his marriage.
Chen Xuan's eyes lit up: "That's fine too. If I really don't pass, the worst that can happen is that I can go to Jinghua Academy to study for two years."
"Pooh, pooh, brother Xuan, pooh, the exam hasn't started yet, don't say these things, it's bad luck."
Chen Xuan laughed and said "Pooh".
Fu An is a little careless, but he is a sincere person. Like Ping An, he is also his best friend.
Ten days later, Chen Xuan and his son bid farewell to everyone and returned to Qingzhou City.
A few days later, Ping An asked Wu Jun to leave and go home to live for a few months, and he could go to Yong'an in October.
Wu Jun's father, Wu Qi, helped him find a female doctor in Fangming Medical Valley. If he likes her this time, he can bring her over. Wu Jun is already 19 years old this year, so it is okay for them to get married a year earlier.
They happened to be passing by, and Erqiang was taking Lengyue and the child back to Jiao County. He had to bring the child home to see his family.
Fang Xiang is twenty years old this year. Ping An plans to help him find a girl after returning to Beijing this year, and they can get married in the second half of next year.
"Ping An, in four or five days, you and I will be separated. My mother and I have to continue our journey. This weather is too hot to bear."
Ping An was helpless as his master had originally planned for them to leave in early August when the weather would be much more comfortable.
But he wanted Erqiang, Wu Jun and others to stay at home for two more months. If they set off in early August, they would not be able to stay at home for long. The most important thing was that Fu An would arrive in the capital in mid-to-late September.
This is the result of a smooth sailing. If there were some delays on the way, I would have missed the provincial examination. I have to arrive half a month in advance for the provincial examination so that I can adjust my physical and mental aspects, and I also have to familiarize myself with the examination room. There are many things to do.
Fu An was of course aware of all these, and traveling in this hot weather, safety was mainly for his own sake.
It was so hot along the way that they could only buy some ice basins and put them in the car, then try to leave early and rest late, and stay in a small woods for an extra hour to rest at noon.
Four days later, Ping An looked at the familiar road and realized that Yong'an City would be reached in another hour.
"Fu An, why don't you and my aunt rest here for a few days before leaving?"
Fu An waved his hand and said, "My mother said last night that we should rest in Yong'an City tonight and set off early tomorrow morning. We have been traveling for more than 20 days. I am afraid that I will not want to move if I stop. You will go home soon. Don't worry about us. We should stay in the inn in the city so that we can prepare some things for the journey."
"Okay, I'll say goodbye to Aunt Fu later, and I won't care about you anymore."
Fu An suddenly came over and hugged Ping An's arm: "Ping An, I really don't want to leave you."
Ping An pretended to shudder: "Oh my god, this is so corny."
