604 The distinguished guest really wants to enter the village
The emperor returned to the palace with a smile on his face.
The Empress Dowager knew that he was going to Sun Sicheng's new clinic to open today. "Isn't it just the opening of a new clinic? Why are you so happy?"
"No, it's not the New Medical Hall. It's the hospital, Baicao Hospital."
The emperor excitedly recounted what he had seen and heard today. "The couplet on the hospital gate is particularly good. Let me read it to you."
The Emperor took a sip of tea and cleared his throat: "I wish that people in the world would be free of disease, so why not let the medicine on the shelf gather dust?"
The Queen Mother clapped her hands: "Excellent, easy to understand, and full of medical ethics. Can today's hospital opening be considered a great success?"
"Of course, I tell you, this hospital model is much better than ordinary medical clinics. There are also special areas for women to see patients, and home visits are also available, as long as you make an appointment in advance.
These are not the main points, the main point is that I found a good place…”
The Queen Mother was stunned: "Do you want us to live in the manor as well? Together with the old imperial teacher and the others? That's too simple, right? Can so many of us stay there?"
“Of course we can’t accommodate so many people. We only need to take eight or ten servants with us, and another ten or eight guards. But I haven’t told them yet that the manor belongs to Xiao Ping’an, so I don’t know if there’s a place for them to stay.
Well, the hospital will open in the next two days. After three days, I will go to the village alone to take a look. If there is no house, we can build one ourselves. They will not refuse to let us in, right?
You and I are not young anymore, and now that the throne has been given to my son, we can let go of many things.
I just want to take good care of my body for the rest of my life, without having to take bitter medicine. Haven’t you seen the teacher, the old man of the Sun family, and the old man of the Hao family? They are all in their eighties, but they eat with big bowls and talk loudly. It’s possible that they can live to be a hundred years old. "
The empress dowager was moved. She was feeling lazy and lacking energy. If this continued, she didn't know how many years she could live.
They lack nothing and have everything they want. If possible, what she wants most is to live a long life and be in good health.
"Sir, if it is true, you can go check it out. But we are going to live here, so we cannot use our power to pressure others. If everyone is unwilling to talk to us, then what is the point of us going there?"
The emperor smiled and said, "Of course it is so. Besides, my teacher is there. What can I do? That old man is stubborn."
If it really doesn't work out, he will ask the Emperor to approve the resignation of Dean Wang. It would be comfortable for them to be together as brothers of similar age, and his wife can also accompany the Empress Dowager.
…
Three days later.
Sun Sicheng, Sun Wen and Ping An smiled knowingly, and the hospital won the first battle.
Although the consultation fee was free and the medicine fee was 20% off during these three days, there were so many people that a lot of medicines were sold. Fortunately, the warehouse had a large supply of medicines.
Sun Wen took three consecutive days off. The sales volume in these days was terrifying, and the profit generated by small profits but quick turnover was also very good. Most of these medicines were produced and sold by the company itself, and there was no price difference earned by the herbal medicine dealers.
"Master, Sir, we are exhausted these past three days. Let's go to Juxuanlou and have a good meal."
Sun Sicheng had no objection to this.
Sun Wen laughed and said, "Wang Quan has run the canteen very well. I saw the emperor even had two bowls of rice that day. The big pot rice is still delicious."
Ping An said, "Master Qin was unwilling to bring Wang Quan here, and Wang Quan himself was also unwilling. He still wanted to stay at the farm, so we may have to choose someone else here."
Sun Sicheng chuckled: "Ping An, your great master and great grandmother both want to live in the manor. I think you need to build two more courtyards in your manor."
"Sure. My farm is big. Last month, the head of the farm led people to plant a lot of fruit trees. When I have some free time, I will go to the farm to take a closer look and see if there is anything I can tinker with. Sir, I will prepare a small courtyard for you later."
He also wanted to give Zhang's grandfather a small courtyard, as he had special respect for the old man.
Sun Wenle said, "My little farm is not far from yours. I cleaned it up a bit and it looks OK, but it doesn't have the atmosphere of your farm. Your mistress said that she wanted to go back after one day at her own farm, but she wanted to stay at Ping'an Farm."
"Awen, you really don't plan to continue to be an official?"
"My dear, I have submitted my resignation. It says that I am serious about my work and cannot be let go for the time being. I will work for another three years at most. Although I am tired these days, I feel relaxed and comfortable. I may not be suitable for being an official."
He has no one to back him up. It was the eldest son who helped him find the official position, and he was promoted twice thanks to the eldest son and Ping An. Now he is in his early forties and holds the sixth rank. It would be difficult for him to move up further. Even if he works for another ten years and is barely promoted to the fifth rank, what's the point?
"The eldest master has handed in his application twice. He really doesn't want to be the dean anymore. Mu Yang is only two years old, and he wants to start his education with him. It's a little too early. Awu is reluctant to let him go."
Speaking of Mu Yang, Sun Sicheng's eyes lit up: "I also plan to teach Mu Yang some basic medical knowledge. Smart children don't have to wait until they are five years old. Ping An, children should not be spoiled too much."
"I spoil him? No way? I plan to send the child to the manor next year to learn literature from Master Zu and let Da Wu teach him horse stance. It will be enough to go home once every ten days." There are many people who spoil Mu Yang, and the master is one of them.
Awu's period was a few days late this time, so it cannot be diagnosed for the time being, but it is very likely that she is pregnant again.
Sun Sicheng frowned, "It's not right for a child this young to leave the village, right? It's even more wrong for him to learn martial arts, as he is too tender. Besides, how can such a young child leave his mother?"
"Dean Sun, I noticed that you forgot about your apprentice now that you have a grandson. This is not good." Ping An smiled playfully.
Sun Yat-sen laughed out loud.
The eldest son used to love Ping An the most, but now he loves Ping An's son the most, but that child is really lovable.
Sun Sicheng rolled his eyes at him and said, "Ah Wen, let's go to the big restaurant to eat. Jixiang, call Changqing and the others to go."
Two days later.
Jia'an Village.
The doorman reported to the old imperial teacher: "Master Wang, many people have come to the courtyard and said they are looking for you."
The old man put down the work in his hands. Today, several of them were planting flowers. The peach blossoms could not be picked until half a month later.
When he reached the main courtyard, he stopped. Wasn't that the person looking around the emperor? Did he really want to move in?
When the retired emperor heard footsteps, he turned around and saw the old man wearing a short jacket, just like an old farmer in the village. How could he look like an old imperial tutor at all?
"Teacher, are you busy?"
The old imperial teacher bowed and said, "Your Majesty, why are you here? We are planting flowers."
"Teacher, you don't have to bow to me in private. Just call me the emperor. Don't call me the emperor. It makes me sound old, and I don't like it."
"Sir, what brings you here today? Ping An is working in the Imperial Academy and is not here."
"Teacher, can you walk with me? Shall we go to your courtyard?"
The old man frowned and said, "Sir, are you really willing to come and live here? This place doesn't have everything you would expect in a palace, it's just an ordinary farm life.
Well, let me show you around first."
The old man took him around, and as they walked around he forgot his original intention of not wanting the emperor to come and live with him, and he just went wherever he went.
The retired emperor was so shocked that Xiao Ping'an had turned the manor into a paradise.
It can be called a paradise on earth, and it makes more money than any other farm. Not to mention the grain, there are medicinal herbs on both hills, and fruit trees everywhere. Now there are patches of peach and plum blossoms, which are so beautiful that it is indescribable.
He has been growing winter vegetables for several years, and probably all the wealthy families in the capital eat his winter vegetables.
I guess he has made a lot of money over the years.
It’s such a great place, no wonder the teachers are reluctant to leave.
