Wang Ping'an furrowed his brow, for himself, he didn't like taking this back door, and the impression that Xiangtong Academy gave him wasn't very good either. If he didn't go, then so be it! Xuzhou wasn't just limited to this one academy, switching to another one would do!

  King You has wealth but is delighted, his own knowledge is not high, so he highly respects those who have learned and read books, hoping that his son can develop in this aspect. Now hearing that he can enter the first Xuzhou's Hamtong Academy, he is naturally happy. Without waiting for Wang Ping'an to respond, he stood up and bowed to Ah-yi-ding, saying: "Thank you very much, Ah-lao-ye! My family's Ping'an affairs still need you to take care of, I'll thank you first!"

  Aiyin thought to herself: "I don't even have the surname 'A', calling me 'Old Master A' is really awkward!" With a hint of a smile, she stood up and returned the courtesy: "Matters concerning Wang, are my matters, Old Master Wang is too polite!"

  Cheng Ji Sheng said in a low voice, "Actually, it's not necessary to be like this. Entering the academy is good, but there are also some drawbacks..." He seemed to have something to say, but seeing Wang You Cai's happy expression, he stopped talking and didn't continue.

  Wang Youcai was overjoyed and immediately ordered his servants to quickly set up a banquet in the flower hall, inviting Cheng Jisheng and Aiding to come and drink wine and talk. Wang Ping'an also stopped reading books, anyway, he didn't need them, and he happily followed everyone to the flower hall, chatting and laughing, discussing the interesting things about Xuzhou.

  After the wine party, Aiding and Cheng Jishi bid farewell and left. Before leaving, they told Wang Ping'an that Hamiti would also come tomorrow. After sending off the two men, the man's socializing came to an end, and it was the woman's turn to take the stage.

  Yang rushed over, with a delighted expression on his face, and said to Wang Ping'an: "Son, guess what the one surnamed A sent over?"

  Wang Ping'an had just drunk a few cups of wine, although the alcohol content was not high in the Tang Dynasty, but after drinking, he felt quite dizzy and excited, laughing: "Aixin is the name, the surname of the Hu people is different from ours Han people, I think his surname is Ashina..."

  "What's Ashina? Isn't it still the surname Ah!" Yang didn't care what Ah Yiding's surname was, and excitedly continued to ask: "What did Ah Yiding give you? Guess quickly, I bet you won't guess it!"

  "Bronze coins?"

  Yang shook his head and said, "No, keep guessing."

  "Gold, silver and jewels?" Wang Pingan guessed again.

  Yang said: "This time it's almost done!" She turned her head and shouted: "Danruo, hurry up and bring the gift over, let the young master take a look!"

  "Ah, here I am!" Dandan replied, walking quickly into the flower hall with a white fur coat in her hands. The coat was entirely snow-white and had gemstone buttons on it, looking extremely luxurious.

  Yang took the fur coat and let Wang Ping'an see it, saying with joy: "This is a high-quality snow fox fur coat. I remember when I was young, before the Yang family declined, I saw this kind of fur coat, even the worst one would cost several thousand taels. Look at what Ah sent you, they are all the best, worth at least 10,000 taels."

  Stroking the beautiful fur, Yang's face was full of surprise and delight, saying: "My child, clothes worth 10,000 yuan each, that Ah surname sent you twelve pieces, do you know how much it's worth?"

  "This is really a big deal, Ah Yat Ding is indeed rich! Wang Ping'an thought seriously for a moment and said: "One piece is 10,000 yuan, twelve pieces are... 60,000 yuan?"

  "This child, even joking with his mother, is worth 120,000 taels! Yang's wife compared the fur coat on Wang Ping'an and said: "When my son goes to the capital, he will wear this piece, let those people in Chang'an also take a look, our Xu state people are not much worse than them!"

  Wang Ping'an suddenly laughed and said, "Mother, Hamiti is coming tomorrow, he's even richer, maybe the gift he gives will be better, who knows, maybe there'll be a fur coat, it might be even better than this one!"

  Yang suddenly remembered Hamiti and exclaimed with surprise and joy: "That's right, Hamiti has a lot of money. My son saved his life, the gift he sends must be even more valuable!" The old lady immediately began to imagine tomorrow's gifts, Ah sent 120,000 yuan, how much can Ha send?

  Wang Ping'an smiled and said: "Being a doctor is good, the money comes quickly! Mother, you take your time to look at the clothes, I'll go to the study to rest for a while."

  Yang still thought about tomorrow's grand gift and absent-mindedly responded with a sound.

  Wang Ping'an returned to his study, and little Ding Dan followed him in, asking: "Young master, are you going to sleep now or read for a while before sleeping?"

  "It's not that tiring after all." Wang Ping'an sat beside his desk, dazed for a while, thinking: "If I don't take the imperial examination, but instead take the medical examination, then reading the Four Books and Five Classics would be meaningless. On the contrary, medical books would become important. Now when others ask me where I learned my medical skills, it's easy to respond - just say I forgot which book I read it from and that's it. But once I arrive in Chang'an, I won't be able to use this excuse again. Why not write a book myself? Organize the knowledge I've learned, who knows, maybe one day it'll even get published and my name will go down in history!"

  He spread out the paper and started writing. Ting Dan saw that he was working hard, didn't dare to disturb him, lit some incense for him, poured a pot of fragrant tea, then quietly slipped out.

  The next morning, Yang went to the gatehouse again and sat on a bench waiting for Hamiti. The servant guarding the gate saw the old lady coming again, so he had no choice but to take out his broom and start sweeping the ground again.

  This time, Yang didn't have to wait for long. Just after breakfast, a team of horse-drawn carriages came from the direction of Xuzhou City, with seven vehicles in total! The gatekeeper saw them and ran back, shouting: "Madam, Hamiti has arrived, I recognize his carriage!"

  Yang walked out of the gate and saw that in the dusty air, the fleet had arrived at the door. She was both surprised and delighted. Yesterday, Aiding came with only one car full of gifts, worth 120,000 yuan. Today, Hamiti came with seven cars, even if one was for people, there were still six cars loaded with gifts! Big businessmen are indeed big spenders, they are generous when giving out money!

  Yang's face smiled like a flower, and he scolded the doorman: "You should call him Old Master Ha, how dare you address Old Master Ha by his name, what a big nerve, watch me break your dog legs!"

  The gatekeeper stuck out his tongue and retreated to one side, thinking: "That day when Mr. Ha came to see a doctor, you almost tortured him to death, today he comes to give gifts, I call out his name, and you want to break my legs!"

  The procession stopped in front of the Wang mansion, and a maid got out of the second carriage with a long wooden stool. She ran to the first carriage and placed the stool in front of the door before opening it.

  Hamiti stuck his head out of the carriage, holding a jade scepter in his hand. He had recovered from his illness and regained his air of a wealthy merchant, no longer looking like he was on the verge of death as he had been just a few days ago! With the support of the servant woman, Hamiti got down from the carriage and called out to Yang Shi from afar: "Hey, isn't that Madame Wang? You're up so early, what are you doing?"

  This kind of behavior, if it were in the past, Yang would have definitely spat and scolded her for showing off. But today she didn't feel disgusted, instead she smiled and welcomed him, saying: "I was going to buy vegetables, didn't expect to run into you, Ha Lao Ye, what a coincidence!"

  The gatekeeper behind him heard a sneer and thought: "Madam, your excuse is too poor. Our Tianzhuang has a continuous row of houses, do we still need to go out to buy vegetables? You probably haven't bought vegetables in your life."

  Hamiti was taken aback, clearly not understanding what buying vegetables was all about, but he didn't ask any more questions either. With a hint of a smile, he said: "Madam Wang, the young divine doctor cured my illness the other day, and I've brought some gifts today to express my gratitude. Is the young divine doctor at home?"

  "Ah, my son is right at home!" Yang's face lit up even more when she heard the word "gifts". She looked at the six horse carriages behind him and said with a radiant smile: "Ha Lao Ye, you've come just in time! And you've brought so many gifts too! Take them all back, take them all back! We don't need any of these things, our family has everything we need!"

  The gatekeeper's mouth grew even wider, and he secretly thought to himself: "If Old Master Ha really takes the gift back, I'm afraid you'll have to turn your face right away, madam!"

  Hamiti nodded and followed Yang's gaze, looked at the horse-drawn carriage behind him, shook his head and said: "Madam Wang misunderstood, these are not gifts for Xiao Shen Yi!"

  The gatekeeper thought: "It's all over! The lady is going to turn against us!"

  As expected, the smile on Yang's face slowly disappeared, and her eyebrows furrowed.

  Hami turned around, stretched his hand into the car and smiled: "The gift that Lao Fu wants to give to Xiao Shen Yi is still in the car!"
