Qiu Wenpu nodded and smiled, stroking his beard with the corner of his eye, and glanced at his son Qiu Tingxuan, who was also looking at him. Both father and son had a hint of a smile on their faces, and they understood each other without needing to say anything.

  How do human feelings go, how are relationships formed? Human feelings are sold like this, and relationships are pulled closer like this! They can do this with ease, but Wang Ping'an needs to spend his whole life repaying them for this favor. From now on, no matter what big or small things happen, as long as the disciples of Xiangtong Academy get into trouble, they will find Wang Ping'an, and Wang Ping'an must help them solve it. Otherwise, it would be ungrateful and unfilial. But when Wang Ping'an really gets into trouble, they can stay out of it and keep a safe distance!

  Some things are impossible to say, in fact, the number of students in the hands of the governor is something that people will not use. The governor of Xuzhou is only 40 years old and has already become such a high-ranking official. In modern terms, the governor of Xuzhou is a rising star in politics. His son wants to be an official, he can directly become one, relying on his father's influence is enough, where does he need to take the exam!

  So although there is only one quota for students, it will never be used. Qiu Wenpu went to ask for it, and according to his estimate, the governor will definitely give him face and give him the quota, so this matter is 90% certain, and he can definitely do it!

  Of course, this cannot be told to Wang Jia San Kou, otherwise this favor would not be worth anything!

  Wang Youcai wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Master Qiu, although I've spent my whole life in Xuzhou, I've never seen Governor Li's face. Even when he leaves the mansion, I can only catch a glimpse of him from afar, but all I see is his carriage, not him. How much should we offer as a gift to ask for his help? Please enlighten us, Master Qiu, so we can prepare in advance!"

  Qiu waved his hand and smiled: "Everything will be handled by me, Your Excellency can rest assured, don't mention the two words 'gift' again, do you not trust me?"

  "Trustworthy, trustworthy!" Wang Youcai couldn't think of what to say for a moment, and after being stuck for half a day, he suddenly shouted: "Housekeeper, housekeeper, quickly prepare a banquet, and treat Qiu Shan and Qiu Gongzi with the best hospitality!"

  Wang Ping'an, however, was not as anxious as his father. Qiu Wenpu said that this move was quite profound in the Tang Dynasty over a thousand years ago, and ordinary people couldn't use such tactics. But now, it's been used to death! It's just that they see potential in someone and invest early. Moreover, he dares to assert that the disciple quota seems more important than the tribute quota, but in reality, it should be easier to get because there are no competitors. Who would dare go tell the governor about this? Wouldn't they be afraid of being slapped? Since Qiu Wenpu dared to mention it ahead of time, it means he must be able to do it and make it look easy!

  King Ping An understood in his heart, but he would never say it out loud. Not even his parents could reveal a hint of it, otherwise, with Yang's temper, who knows what might happen and bring trouble to the Wang family. Since they guaranteed you can get it, similarly, they can guarantee you won't get it!

  It's inevitable for people living in this world to encounter annoying things. When encountering annoying things, one should deal with them calmly; otherwise, the more you think about it, the more annoyed you'll become!

  Wang Ping'an was just about to thank Qiu Wenpu again when the butler, who had just run out, came running back in and said: "Young Master, there's a patient outside the door. It looks like another case of diarrhea!"

  Wang Ping'an didn't have time to speak, but Qiu Wenpu laughed first and said: "Good, coming early is not as good as coming at the right time. Today, I just want to see how Ping'an treats his fellow villagers!"

  Wang Ping'an hastily said: "I can only treat some minor illnesses, just relying on a few quack remedies, and randomly telling patients something!"

  Several people came out of the room together and went into the courtyard.

  As soon as Wang Ping'an arrived at the hospital, a chorus of wailing voices erupted outside the gate. A dozen or so people in tattered clothing stood outside, led by the same beggar who had brought his child to seek medical treatment earlier. When he saw Wang come out, he hastily called out: "It's all right, it's all right! The little divine doctor has arrived, everyone's illness can be cured!"

  Wang Ping'an glanced out the door and saw several patients, all of whom had been carried in. They looked like they might have diarrhea. He turned back to Yang Shi and said, "Everyone, please wait a moment, I'll be right there." Then he said to his mother, "Mother, their illnesses are contagious, and we may need to undress them for examination. Why don't you go back inside and rest?"

  Yang said, "Are they afraid to look? Who isn't born naked?" She knew her son was worried about her, but she couldn't bear to go inside now. This sick child had been treated by him before, and he had cured one after another, so of course he wouldn't fail this time either. After a while, when the illness is cured, it's just right to boast in front of Qiu Wenpu. If she goes back to the house, how can she boast later?

  Wang Pingan grunted and shook his head without speaking.

  Qiu Tingxuan said, "Madam Wang is right. Who isn't born naked into this world? It's only because of external entanglements that we have joys and sorrows..." Alas, I'm telling her this, but will she understand?

  Yang nodded and thought: "There is grass by the river, a donkey with many mouths. What does it have to do with you when I talk to my son?"

  Wang Ping'an chuckled twice, thinking to himself: "My mom and Qiu Tingxuan have similar temperaments, one looks down on everyone, the other is why I should look up to you, they stand together, it's a bit like two mothers!"

  As soon as he came out of the gate, Wang Ping'an went over to the crowd and asked, "Aren't you locals?"

  An elderly man nodded and said: "As for what Little Divine Doctor said, we are all refugees from other places, everywhere!"

  Wang Ping'an bent down to examine the patients, six of whom were ill with the same symptoms: abdominal pain, intestinal rumbling, and diarrhea like water. Although he had seen this disease before, he still carefully examined each patient one by one, fearing that there might be different symptoms among them that he would miss if he wasn't careful.

  When Wang Ping'an went to visit the sick, Qiu Tingxuan almost vomited with disgust and walked away frowning. He could write an article about sympathizing with heaven and worrying about people, but if he really had to personally care about the suffering of the common people, he couldn't do it, not even wanting to take a second glance.

  Qiu Wenpu stood by, watching Wang Ping'an diagnose, and nodded secretly in his heart: "This young man is not bad, no wonder others praise him, even Cheng Jisheng has to admit defeat to him. This little young man really has something special about him. Not to mention anything else, just talking about his responsible attitude, it's exactly what the people in power like the most. I taught my son to learn how to guess the intentions of those above, so that he can have a smooth official career. But Wang Ping'an doesn't need to guess anything, as long as he does his own job well, he will naturally gain people's trust, and there is no reason why his official career won't be smooth?"

  Qiu Wenpu looked at his son who was hiding far away and sighed softly. What people fear most is comparison!

  After the diagnosis was finished, Wang Pingan stood up and turned his head to shout: "Dan Ruo, Lian Wu, you follow the prescription I wrote last time, decoct six doses of medicine and give it to them!"

  The masters were talking, and Ding Danruo and Ke Lianwu followed closely behind, listening to the young master's call. They hastily responded in unison and were about to turn around and enter the courtyard when they heard Wang Ping'an say, "Make several more copies of that prescription and bring them to me!" The little girls responded again.

  Before long, Ke Lianwu returned with a few sheets of paper and handed them to Wang Ping'an. Wang Ping'an gave the prescriptions to these people who came to seek medical treatment and said: "This prescription is most suitable for this disease, and those who are lightly ill will see results after taking one dose, while those who are severely ill will not exceed three doses. You take good care of it, if someone else gets this disease again, you can't come to me in time, just take this prescription to get the medicine, it can relieve the urgent need!"

  These outsiders hastily expressed their gratitude, took the prescription, and carefully put it away.

  Qiu Wenpu saw that he was actually delivering the prescription, and thought to himself: "This illness looks difficult to cure, could it be that there is a ready-made formula? I've been watching from the side, but I didn't think there was any book that recorded anything about a ready-made formula!"

  "He said: 'Can you let me take a look at the prescription?'"

  "Wang Ping'an hastily said, 'Good! Mr. Qiu is just in time to give me some guidance.' He asked Ke Lianwu to bring over paper and pen, and wrote out the original prescription for Perilla Leaf Powder, handing it to Qiu Xunpu, saying, 'This is a prescription I've come up with, which can be used with modifications, to dispel the exterior and harmonize the interior, fragrantly transform dampness, and treat this type of illness, with the most effectiveness!'"

  Qiu Wenpu took the prescription and looked at it, thinking: "This prescription has never been seen before, it's not a classic one. But...it looks like a classic one, if you don't go through repeated verification, there's no way to get this kind of prescription!"

  She looked up at Wang Ping'an, then lowered her head to look at Fang Zi. After a glance, she was even more surprised. Unable to bear it, she looked up again at Wang Ping'an and once more lowered her head to look at Fang Zi!

  Finally, Qiu Wenpu walked up to the patient and personally diagnosed him. After examining each of them, he was already shocked, standing up and looking at Wang Pingan, then looking at Fang Zi again, and then raising his head to look at Wang Pingan again, repeating this process, and had a tendency to lose his composure!

  Qiu Tingxuan walked over and asked: "Father, what's wrong? Is there something wrong with this prescription?"

  Qiu Wenpu suddenly said loudly: "Ping'an, tell the old man the truth, where did you see this prescription in a medical book? Is it a lost rare edition?"
