Tang Dynasty good doctor

Chapter 598

The leader was Hamiti, Xu Jingzong and even Su Dingfang were in the crowd. They all came to see Wang Pingan off.

Hamidi was the first to come over and said with a smile: "My lord, today is the day you leave Beijing. We went to your house early, but we didn't see anyone from you, and even Mr. Wang and Mrs. Wang were not there. I guess you I went to the palace, so I rushed here specially to see you off."

While talking, he asked someone to take a willow branch with tender buds, held it in both hands, and gave it to Wang Ping'an.Willow is the same as Liuyin. This is the custom of people in the Tang Dynasty when they bid farewell to friends, giving willow branches.

When other big businessmen saw it, they all came over and presented willow branches, and of course gift lists.Wang Ping'an was in charge of collecting willow branches, while Di Renjie and Qiu Tingxuan acted as attendants temporarily, keeping the gift list and collecting gifts for him.

After being polite, Xu Jingzong came forward. He gave Wang Pingan a deep salute with a very sincere expression. Although he didn't know if he was sincere, he looked sincere.

Wang Pingan hurriedly returned the gift, saying: "Master Xu, you have been gone for a few days, and you have lost a lot."

Xu Jingzong lost a lot of weight. What happened to him would make anyone angry. His chubby face lost weight, and his chin became a little pointed.

Xu Jingzong first sighed softly, and then said: "Your Majesty, the old man is doomed, and at this age, if he is really sent to Yazhou, he may not be able to come back. Never expected , with the help of a noble person like you, the prince, the old man can stay in Chang'an and enjoy the rest of his life!"

Wang Pingan hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Master Xu, don't say that, you and I have known each other for a while, and if you don't open your mouth about some things, I will do it for you, but it's just that I am limited in my abilities, so I can't help you much. !"

Xu Jingzong clasped his fists, bowed to Wang Ping'an, and said: "The old man has been sick at home these days, and he was unable to express his gratitude to the prince in time, but he did not thank the prince for his kindness, and the old man will remember it in his heart. , Don’t dare or forget for a moment. I have offended the prince before, and I hope you will forgive me a lot.”

He asked his subordinates to bring up two bowls of wine, holding one bowl for Wang Ping'an with both hands, and holding the other bowl himself, saying: "The prince is traveling far away, the old man toasted a glass of wine, and talked about his heart." After speaking, he drank the wine in one gulp.

Wang Ping'an raised the wine bowl and drained the wine very simply.Xu Jingzong, a potential political opponent, has already been defeated by him and has been included in his own camp. He doesn't expect to be able to borrow any power from Xu Jingzong, as long as he doesn't mess with him.

Su Dingfang also came over with wine in his hand.Although he was not very prosperous during this period, he got another chance in his official career and was promoted to an official position.For him, he was originally a prisoner in custody, but he got a future by following the right boss. Of course, he should thank the boss, that is, Wang Ping'an.

Su Dingfang came to him and said, "My lord, the general was sent to Shangzhou as a deputy governor. Before leaving, he went to Lingling Temple twice to say goodbye to you, but unfortunately you were not there. I got news the day before yesterday that you I am going to take office in Gyeongju, and the general came from Shangzhou immediately. I finally arrived last night, but I couldn’t enter the city. I have been waiting until now. Fortunately, I met Mr. Ha and the others. Otherwise, the general would not know where to wait for you! "

Wang Pingan took the wine in his hand, and said with a smile: "We are good brothers, the most important thing is to talk to each other, and the tedious etiquette, if you can, you can avoid it!" After clinking bowls with Su Dingfang, both of them were drunk.

Others came up and offered a toast to Wang Pingan. Wang Pingan would not refuse anyone who came and drank glasses of water and wine.After socializing for more than half an hour, it was finally over. Wang Pingan bid farewell to everyone and started on the road again.

I didn't go very far that day, but after ten miles, I arrived at a small town. This was the place he had made an appointment with the Wang couple. shop.

The Wang couple had been waiting anxiously for a long time, and they were relieved when they saw Wang Pingan coming.They rented out the entire inn, and also rented a lot of nearby houses for the servants and guards to live in.

The Wangs lived in a separate small courtyard and saw their son coming.Yang asked: "Son, why are you blushing, but have you been drinking?"

Wang Pingan opened his mouth and let out a smell of alcohol. He smiled and said, "Yes, when I first left the city, I was sent off by a group of people and drank a lot. But mother, don't worry, it's all water and wine, not strong. I'm fine. " Fortunately, those who saw him off didn't have the spirits from the medicine workshop, otherwise he would have to lie on the ground now.

Wang Youcai said: "We'll spend the night here tonight. Go and rest for a while, and we'll call you when we're having dinner."

Wang Pingan agreed, went to his room, lay down on the bed, and stared.

After a long time, Ding Danruo knocked on the door and told him to get up for dinner.Wang Ping got up, washed his face, went to the latrine, and then went to the front.

In the front hall of the inn, meals had already been set up, just waiting for Wang Ping'an to come.This inn is not big, there are only two guys, so many customers have come, it is too busy, the shopkeeper, his mother-in-law and son come out to help and entertain the guests.

The food is mediocre, and people are on the road, so they can't pay attention to anything, just eat whatever they want.

The shopkeeper knew that the guest was Wang Ping'an, a well-known man from Chang'an, and he treated him very hospitablely. After serving the food, he didn't leave, but stood by the side so that he could be there whenever he was called.

At this time, in the small room behind the counter, a child's laughter suddenly came out, and a small gap was opened in the door curtain, and someone inside was looking out.This small room is usually used by the shopkeeper for rest, and the people inside are probably his family members.

Mrs. Yang held a piece of chicken for Wang Ping'an, and said, "It's the shopkeeper's little grandson. He's only one year old. He looks pink and hurts people. When will I be able to hug my grandson?" !"

Wang Pingan said with a smile: "It's coming soon, it won't take two years."

When the shopkeeper heard them mentioning his little grandson, he hurried over and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you are a big man. Today, you can settle in the villain's shop, and the villain's face will be radiant when you say it. The villain has something to say." Please, I'm too embarrassed to speak..."

Di Renjie was also sitting on this table. Hearing what the shopkeeper said, he smiled and said, "I'm sorry to open my mouth, so don't open it!"

The shopkeeper grinned, feeling very embarrassed. He had inquired just now, and this young master was the head of Jinke, and he was going to other places to become the magistrate of the county.He originally wanted to take this opportunity to change the name of the shop to "Zhuangtou Inn", but Di Renjie joked with him.

Wang Pingan put down his chopsticks, and smiled at the shopkeeper, "Don't listen to my brother joking, what's the old man's business, but it doesn't matter." He saw that the shopkeeper was only in his 30s, and he even had a grandson. Four generations live together.

The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "My lord, the villain's grandson is over a year old, but he hasn't given a name yet. I would like to trouble you to get one for him, so that he can enjoy your dignity."

Wang Ping'an snorted, and said with a smile: "So I wanted to choose a name. I thought the child was sick, and you begged me to see a doctor. Okay, you can take him out!"

Seeing that Wang Ping'an agreed, the shopkeeper couldn't help but said, "The villain's grandson is strong, there is nothing wrong with it!" He turned around, waved to the inside of the hut, and asked his daughter-in-law to come out with the baby.

The door curtain opened, and out came a little girl who was about fifteen or sixteen years old. According to the age of modern people, she had just started high school at most. If she started school a little later, she might have just graduated from junior high school.The little girl was holding a fat baby in her arms, she seemed to be the shopkeeper's daughter-in-law and grandson.

Wang Pingan couldn't help laughing, such a young girl is already a mother, and the child is more than one year old. People are really anxious these days. It seems that the shopkeeper is living in the same family, not to mention four generations, even five generations. It's also possible, maybe they can be in the same family as the sixth generation!

The little girl hugged the child joyfully, and let Wang Pingan look after the child as if offering a treasure.And the child also giggled at Wang Ping'an, not afraid of life at all, very lively and cute.

Yang looked at the child and said, "He looks very strong. Your family is a good one, but do you have land? Let this child serve as a soldier in the future, maybe he can become a general or something!"

The shopkeeper's face darkened, he is a businessman, there is only such a small shop, how can there be any land, and these days, if there is no land, it is not a good family, and it is not eligible to enter the Weifu to eat official meals.

As if making up his mind, the shopkeeper said: "When the villain saves more money, he will have to buy a few acres of land. Even if it's not for retirement, he has to fight for his grandson's future!"

Wang Pingan nodded and said, "It's spring now, and the weather is changing from cold to hot. This child wears less clothes, so be careful not to catch cold."

The daughter-in-law hurriedly said: "I'll warm him up later, don't dare to let him cool down, he is the heart of my parents-in-law!"

Wang Youcai smiled and said, "Whose family's children are all sweethearts!" Looking at his son, when Wang Ping'an was young, the couple took care of him ten times more carefully than this child.

Wang Pingan took the child over, hugged him, and said, "There's no need to go to the fire. Well, he is quite heavy, and you have taken good care of him! My mother just said that if he enters the Wei Mansion in the future, he may be able to To be a general or something, I hope so. By the way, what's your last name?"

The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "The surname of a villain is rare, it is two characters, uncle!"

Yang shook her head and said, "Too loser, this surname is not good, why don't you change your surname to win too much, that's auspicious."

Wang Pingan returned the child to the shopkeeper, and said with a smile: "Mother, it's not the loser who wins or loses, but the uncle's uncle. This surname has a lot of background, and it is said that it is a descendant of the royal family of the Zhou Dynasty! I didn't expect that we would meet here. He is a descendant of Emperor Zhou!"

He cupped his hands at the shopkeeper and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, your ancestors were great people, they have been passed down for thousands of years, and they are a real family!"

Great joy for the shopkeeper, he has always been proud of his surname, but when people heard his surname, they always said he was a barbarian and looked down on him. Unexpectedly, today Wang Pingan directly revealed the origin of his family name. How could this be possible? Why not make him happy?

The shopkeeper smiled all over his face and said: "The prince is indeed a scholar. Not only does he know the origin of the villain's surname, he also praised us as a family. In fact, there is no one in the family who is as poor as us, and they all become businessmen! The villain only looks forward to it. When the grandson grows up, he will be able to honor his ancestors and make the lintel of my great uncle's family tall again."

Wang Pingan smiled and said, "It will definitely happen. The child's name should be better and meaningful. Let me think about it..."

Di Renjie said: "It's better to be a tall uncle, and it sounds bright!"

Wang Pingan shook his head, thought for a while, and said, "I hope this child will achieve something in the future, why not name him 'Bicheng'!"

The shopkeeper murmured: "It will be successful, it will be successful! This name is good, this name is good!" He knelt down for Wang Pingan while holding the child, and thanked him loudly. Wang Pingan kowtowed to thank him for naming the child.

Wang Pingan hurriedly stood up and helped each other, saying: "You can't do this, the etiquette is too heavy!" He helped the shopkeeper's family up.

For a child to be named by Wang Ping'an, in this era, it is equivalent to finding a backer.A few years later, if Wang Ping'an became the prime minister as rumored, and the child went to find him at that time, a set of friendship, if there is any difficulty, Wang Ping'an would not help!Although the shopkeeper's business is not very big, but the investment vision is not low, and he can pave the way for the children in advance!
The child got a name, and the shopkeeper's family served him even more attentively.

After a meal, Wang Ping'an went back to rest. He had a lot of entertainment today and was very tired. He fell asleep shortly after going to bed.In his sleep, he faintly heard movement in front of him. He didn't know who was busy with what, but no one came to him, so he didn't care, didn't get up, and slept until early morning.

That night he slept well and woke up early, before Ding Danruo and Ke Lianwu came to take care of him, he got up, dressed, left the room, and planned to wash his face with water.But as soon as he opened the door, he was startled, and saw a group of people standing outside the door, including his guards, and the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper was miserable, while the guards held their knives at their waists and did not allow him to approach the door.Wang Pingan thought: "No way, this is a black shop. My people discovered it? It's not far from Chang'an, how could there be a black shop, and the shopkeeper doesn't look like a bad guy."

Seeing that Wang Ping'an came out, the shopkeeper quickly knelt down, and said with a bitter face, "Your Majesty, you can figure it out, the villain has been waiting for almost an hour!"

Wang Pingan snorted and looked at his guard.Hou Ling, the leader, hurriedly said: "Returning to the master, he said that the child at home was sick and wanted to ask you to take a look at it, but the subordinates saw that the master was tired, so they asked him to wait here, wait for the master to get up, and then give it to his grandson." go to hospital."

Wang Ping'an's face sank, and he said: "You are so ignorant, the child is sick, how can you delay? If you encounter this kind of thing in the future, no matter how late, no matter what I am doing, you must tell me immediately!" He stepped forward to help the shopkeeper , asked: "Where is the child? Take me to see him quickly."

The shopkeeper quickly agreed, got up, and took Wang Pingan to the front yard, where they lived.

When I got to the shopkeeper's son's room, I saw that the whole family was in the room, guarding the child on the bed, and the young daughter-in-law was crying with tears all over her face.

Wang Pingan strode to the bed and said, "Didn't this child be fine yesterday? Why did he get sick overnight?"
