All the way chatting and laughing, they returned to Wulicun Village. After entering the house, Yang couldn't help but feel happy in her heart, so she ran to tell Wang Youcai about what happened today. Wang Youcai was also delighted after hearing it, but he had some worries too.

  In the past, his son was not in good health, and they didn't think about anything else. His son liked to read books and didn't like managing the estate, so as parents, they followed their son's nature. But now that Wang Ping'an's body has recovered, Wang Youcai's thoughts inevitably increased. His son had read so many books and his learning was not bad either. If he went to take the exam, he might even become a scholar-official. Even if he took a step back and said that being recommended by the state and prefecture governments would be a glorious thing for the ancestors, the old Wang family has never produced an official before!

  Wang Youcai will never become an official in this life, so he has high expectations for Wang Ping'an and hopes that his son can have a good job. But now that Wang Ping'an's reputation as a young doctor is spreading, there must be many people coming to ask for medical treatment, which would interfere with his son's studies!

  Wang Youcai told Yang about this matter, and Yang also became worried. Yes, fame is a bit of a success, but it can't delay the child's studies!

  The old couple discussed it and then went to find Wang Ping'an, telling him about the matter. Wang Ping'an listened and also made sense, being a doctor only cures people, not as good as being an official, being a good official is curing the world! He patted his chest to guarantee that he would study hard, take the imperial examination next year, and return as a scholar to bring glory to the family. The old couple finally put their minds at ease.

  Perhaps Wang Ping'an's name was not loud enough, and in the next few days, no patients came to visit him, nor did that Aiyiding come. With nothing to do, Wang Ping'an began to sort out the tens of thousands of books in his study.

  Thank the former young master Wang, he left a lot of memories for Wang Ping'an, and these memories are mainly about books. Wang Ping'an flipped through the books on the bookshelf and found that most of them could be recited from memory, but the meaning was not quite clear. It's probably because the former young master Wang only knew how to memorize mechanically without seeking to understand.

  One morning, after breakfast, Wang Ping'an sat at the table reading a book. Little girl Ding Dan'er came in with a tray, bringing tea to Wang Ping'an. Seeing that Wang Ping'an was reading a thick book, she asked: "Young master, what are you reading? Is it a medical book?"

  Wang Ping put down the book and shook his head, saying: "No, I'm reading a book on how to rhyme, it's for writing poetry. In the future, we'll have to take exams, so we must know how to write poetry."

  Ding Dan nodded and said: "Don't they test medical skills in the imperial examination? If they do, Young Master will definitely pass with high honors and become a scholar."

  Wang Ping'an picked up his teacup and took a sip, shaking his head: "I'm really not too clear about what the imperial examination will test, it seems I'll have to invite a teacher over, otherwise studying alone, there are some things that just can't be figured out."

  "But, Master, if we invite a teacher back, they will force you to recite books. Young Master has forgotten, in the past, there was a tutor who forced you to recite books, and when you couldn't, he punished you by making you stand under the scorching sun, as a result, you were scorched, and Madame was so angry that she dismissed him on the spot, since then, no one has been invited to teach you again. Anyway, our family is wealthy and doesn't lack money, whether or not you read books won't make a difference."

  Wang Ping'an smiled and said, "Being rich is one thing, but being noble is not necessarily the same. In the end, we are still commoners. If someone with power and influence takes a liking to our land and wants to take it away, then you'll see what's different between wealth and nobility!"

  The little girl nodded and said: "Young master is right, it seems that reading books and taking exams are not only for becoming an official, but also for self-protection, so that others can't bully us."

  "You're clever, you understand at once!" Wang Ping'an smiled and said: "There should be a school in the city, I didn't notice it before. It seems that I need to go out and take a look around, find a school to study, someone can give me some guidance, so that later when participating in the imperial examination, I can also get familiar with the process."

  Ding Dan didn't quite understand the difference between studying at school and studying at home. Hearing Young Master say so, she nodded and said: "Okay, when the time comes for Young Master to go to school, I'll also go and attend to you by your side."

  Wang Ping'an chuckled twice and said, "Going to the academy to study still needs a maid, is it really going to study or just showing off? He said: 'My parents, these days they rarely come to the study.'"

  Ding Dan replied, "Master goes out to inspect the fields every day, just like usual. But as for Madam..." The little girl giggled when mentioning Madam and said, "Madam took a stool and sat in the gatehouse, saying that if anyone came to ask Young Master to see a patient, she would scold them away to avoid disturbing Young Master's studies."

  "Ah, such a thing? Wang Ping'an was stunned. No wonder it's been quiet for the past two days, with no one coming to seek medical treatment. It turns out they were all turned away by his mother." He asked: "Are there many people who come seeking medical treatment?"

  Ding Dan shook her head: "Not a single one, Madam has been waiting for several days in vain. Originally she said no one was allowed to come and ask for medical treatment, provoking her anger, but these past few days nobody came to ask for medical treatment, I think she seems even more angry!"

  Wang Ping'an burst out laughing, what a joke! He was afraid someone would come to the door, so he went to block it, but no one came and he got angry again. How could things not go right?! He understood his mother's mood, originally thinking that making a name for himself at Bao Ta Temple wouldn't be bad, but it wasn't like that after all. Those pilgrims were just blindly cheering, so naturally his mother was a bit disappointed.

  He stood up and said: "I'll go out and take a look, if no one really comes to the door, let's not make mother wait at the gate, it's so tiring." He left the study and walked towards the front yard.

  When they arrived at the gatehouse, sure enough, they saw their mother, Yang, sitting inside with a furious expression. Wang Ping'an asked, "Mother, what are you doing here?"

  Yang said: "Ping'an, you are not reading in your room, what are you doing here in the front yard?"

  Wang Ping'an said: "I'm tired of reading, let's go out for a walk. Mother, are you here to block the people who come to ask for medical help for me?"

  Yang nodded and said with a huff: "You say those people are so heartless, especially that Huidi. We cured his junior brother, but he didn't even come to thank you. And that Aiding is even more of a scoundrel. And then there's that old fart, who has no conscience at all and is an old scoundrel!" Although Yang's hair was white and her age was already advanced, when it came to scolding others as old scoundrels, she was full of energy!

  Wang Ping'an sighed and said, "Whether others have a conscience or not is their own business. Mother doesn't need to worry about it, lest she gets angry and hurts her body, which would be a pity!" He walked out of the gate and said, "Mother, I'm tired from studying and want to go into town for a stroll and clear my mind. I'll be back late tonight."

  Yang shouted from behind: "Call Danruo to accompany you, and put on the horse carriage, it's tiring to walk!" After shouting outside the door, she also shouted inside: "Danruo, you dead girl, where have you run off to again? The young master is going into the city, you follow him to serve!" The little girl was actually just in the yard, no need for her to shout so loudly. Ding Danruo responded repeatedly and ran out quickly.

  Wang Ping'an turned back and said: "If you want to go, it's better to walk. Taking a carriage is not interesting." He took Ding Danruo with him and headed towards Xuzhou City.

  Seeing her son leave, Yang sat back on the bench and thought to herself: "How come no one has come to ask for medical help yet? Hmph, letting me wait for several days in vain! Fine, if someone comes, I must scold him thoroughly and vent the evil air that's been pent up in my heart these past few days!"

  It's a matter of course, it seems that everyone knows that the old lady Wang is blocking the door to scold people, and even a patient didn't come to visit. Yang waited for a long time, and even had lunch in the gatehouse, but still no one came to visit, making the old lady so angry... It's really frustrating with nowhere to vent.

  In the afternoon, Yang was also tired and thought of not waiting any longer, wanting to go back to her room to take a nap. Just then, a luxurious carriage came galloping over, the coachman cracking his whip loudly as if there was an urgent matter, with all four strong horses running with sweat dripping from their bodies!

  A luxurious carriage arrived at the gate of Wang's residence, and the coachman reined in the fine horses. Before anyone got off the carriage, he called out: "May I ask, is this the residence of Wang Ping'an, the young divine doctor?"

  Yang's face lit up with joy, finally finding a place to vent her anger!
