Aiydin didn't know Wang Youcai, but seeing that he was wearing a brocade robe with floral patterns and a hat with the same pattern, it was clear that he was a wealthy rural landlord. As a businessman, his eyes were naturally sharp, and in an instant, he understood that this must be the father of the young doctor from the Wang family.
Aiydin quickly walked a few steps, arrived in front of Wang Youcai, and with a thud, knelt down on the ground, crying out: "Master Wang, please save my life!" He was deeply afraid that Wang Youcai would be like Yang Shi, having a bad temper and being unreasonable, blocking him from seeing Wang Pingan, so he took a shortcut and directly knelt down to beg!
Wang Youcai was startled, although he was a wealthy man, his temperament was easy-going. Not to mention his own tenant farmers, even the servants in his household, as long as it wasn't during Chinese New Year or other festivals, he wouldn't let them kowtow to him. Aiyiding suddenly made this move, which immediately startled Wang Youcai, and he hastily stretched out his hand to support him, saying: "Brother, there's no need for this, stand up and talk!"
"If Master Wang doesn't agree, I'll just kneel down and won't get up, right at your doorstep, until I die from kneeling!" Aiyidin was quite skilled at being a rascal, speaking as if he were ready to take someone's life.
Wang Youcai was so anxious that he pulled his beard straight, and said repeatedly: "What's this, what's this? We don't know each other, we have no grudges in the past or present. If you die at my door, won't I be in trouble with the law?"
Aiyin cried: "Master Wang, I'm Aiyin. The other day at the Bao Ta Temple, I was rescued by Young Master Ping'an, a young doctor. I was grateful and wanted to come to the mansion to pay my respects, but something happened at home..." He recounted the events of the past few days.
It turned out that Aiyiding was a small Turkic nobleman. In the early Tang Dynasty, when the Tang army launched an attack on the Turks, the various tribes of the Turks were not united. Some surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, while others resisted to the end. Aiyiding's tribe belonged to those who surrendered to the Tang Dynasty. After the war was over, the Turkic tribes that resisted were either destroyed or fled westward. The remaining tribes on the grasslands were all those that had surrendered earlier.
Aidi's tribe was well aware of the times, so the Tang Dynasty gave them preferential treatment and allowed them to enter the Central Plains for trade. Aidi became rich only then. However, he was after all a small nobleman who wanted to curry favor with the Turkic nobles. He had a distant sister who married a great nobleman on the grasslands at that time, named Hamiti.
Hamiti was also a big businessman, in modern terms, he was one of the top few people on the rich list, and lived in Xuzhou for many years. However, Hamiti had countless wives and concubines, but none of them gave him children, no sons or daughters, and as he approached old age, he had no heirs to inherit his vast fortune, how could Hamiti not be anxious? Just then, Aiyidin's tribe came to curry favor with him, presenting a beautiful woman to be his concubine, who was also Aiyidin's sister.
Many years passed, and Hamiti's wives had not yet given birth to any children, while Hamiti himself was already over sixty years old. Coincidentally, at this time, Ayding's sister became pregnant, which made Hamiti extremely happy. Although Ayding was a distant younger brother, he often went to curry favor with Hamiti and try to get close to him.
That day, Aiyidin ate the prescription opened by Wang Ping'an at Baota Temple and found that eating sawdust as medicine was really effective. He was so happy that he ran to Hamiti's home again, wanting to talk about it. Coincidentally, his sister was giving birth at this time. Aiyidin accompanied his brother-in-law at home waiting, since there was such a big event at home, he naturally couldn't go to Wang's house to thank him and could only put it off for the time being.
Hamidi was eagerly awaiting the birth of his child, just like he would await a star or the moon. When his concubine went into labor, he became so anxious that he couldn't stay still and paced back and forth in the room. Finally, the child was born, and to their delight, it was a boy! Hamidi was overjoyed, but at the same time, he had doubts in his heart - he was already over 60 years old, could he really have fathered this child? Was this child truly his own flesh and blood?
When the child was handed over to him, Hamiti's heart suddenly relaxed. The child had a round head and big ears, just like himself, and was undoubtedly his own flesh and blood! He got married at 16 and had a son in his sixties, this joy cannot be expressed in words. Hamiti burst out laughing!
But this laughter is going to be a disaster, it's easy to start laughing but can't stop!
At first, Aydin thought her brother-in-law was happy, so she couldn't stop laughing. But after a while, she was stunned! Hamiti laughed until his face turned red and he was out of breath. He quickly took the child away and sent someone to fetch a doctor to treat his brother-in-law.
What kind of person is Hamiti, let alone in Xuzhou, even if placed in the capital of the Tang Dynasty, it's also a famous cow. He got an acute illness, can doctors not come to see him? For a time, famous doctors gathered, all came. Using needles to prick, using moxa to roast, feeding medicine, pouring soup, all available methods were used, and all edible medicines were stuffed into the belly, but they were all ineffective, Hamiti still laughed uncontrollably!
He laughed intermittently for several days, except when he was asleep. As soon as he woke up, he would laugh again, his face turning purple and his voice hoarse. It seemed like he couldn't stop laughing even if he wanted to! The only way to make him stop was to let him sleep, but people can't just keep sleeping all the time. What if he never wakes up? This kind of thing happening in any family would be unbearable!
Hamiti was over sixty years old, but he was robust and rarely fell ill. This time, however, his illness had frightened the whole family. In desperation, Aiyidin thought of Wang Ping'an, who, although not a formally trained doctor, was highly skilled in medicine. Perhaps, with some lucky charm, he could cure Hamiti by prescribing him to eat some sawdust. With no other options available, they came to seek out Wang Ping'an, hoping that he might have some unconventional remedy to save his life.
Hamiti arrived first by car, Aiydin settled his sister and nephew, then rushed over, which led to the events that followed, and was rejected by Yang's family!
Wang Youcai listened to his account, walked to the car, opened the door and took a look inside, only to see a sturdy old Hu man lying on the bed, humming weakly, occasionally bursting into laughter, looking like he was about to suffocate!
Wang Youcai sighed: "My son Ping'an has only read a little medical book, such a serious illness, I'm afraid it's also incurable!"
Aiydin whispered to Guan as they got on the carriage, "Let's try to cure a dead horse like it's alive, maybe the young doctor can come up with something. This is really my family's last hope. If we can't really cure her, I don't know how my sister and newborn nephew will survive. When the time comes for the clan to divide its assets, those big shots in the tribe will swallow them whole!"
Wang Youcai didn't make things difficult for them, nor did he know that his son was not at home. He said, "Let's hurry up and help the patient inside, and let my son take a look." He personally went forward to call the door, and Yang saw that the master had returned, so she opened the door. However, she said that Wang Ping'an was not at home and would only return later.
Hamiti was supported by Aiyidin, sitting in the front hall, shaking all over, laughing from time to time, and his expression became more and more dispirited. Yang looked at him with anger, fearing that this old Hui man would die in her own home, so she asked them to go into the city to find Wang Ping'an. Aiyidin had just entered the door with great difficulty, how could he leave now? He refused to leave no matter what and insisted on waiting here.
It wasn't until the sky was about to darken and it was almost black that Wang Ping'an returned home, he and little Ding Dan carried a big bag and a small bag, as soon as they entered the door, they shouted: "Dad, mom, come and see, I bought a lot of things."
"Ah, my son is back! Have you eaten yet?"
Aiyin suddenly rushed out and shouted: "Little divine doctor, little ancestor, you've finally come back! I was almost worried to death!"
