"Your Honor, I think it's not necessary to investigate further. That young doctor is indeed exceptional. He can cure illnesses that other doctors cannot. I have an old friend whose grandson accidentally got a severe burn, and the young doctor cured him with just one dose of crab juice. It was truly a remarkable feat, leaving everyone in awe!"
Chang Qingfeng was grateful for Wang Ping'an's kindness and at a critical moment, he praised Wang Ping'an greatly!
This remark was music to Niu Zhenghong's ears, and he asked: "Is he really that powerful, can even cure the seven boils?" He didn't understand medicine, didn't know pharmacology, had never heard of eczema before, and no one around him had ever gotten it, so he asked this question. He thought eczema was "seven" boils, seven big boils cured at once!
Chang Qingfeng nodded and said, "Yes, that's really amazing. The illness was so severe, but after applying the crab paste, it took effect on the same day and the illness was almost cured, very quickly!"
"Ah, under my rule, such a figure has emerged! Niu Zhenghong suddenly remembered that day when Qiu Xunpu came running, seemingly just for this Wang Ping'an to ask for the imperial examination quota. Old Qiu has always been arrogant, and he would actually run an errand for Wang Ping'an personally, it must be that this young doctor really has some skills."
He was delighted in his heart, turned around and waved his hand, instructing the servant to say: "After finding that prescription, just put it on the table, this official will take a look later!" After finishing speaking, he also ordered people to find out two sets of ordinary clothes for him, one set for himself and one set for Chang Qingfeng. After changing into them, he took Chang Qingfeng out of the Cishi Mansion and went out in disguise for a private visit!
Chang Qingfeng wore the clothes of the Historian, which were a bit short, and had no choice but to wear them as they were, for the Historian was not tall enough.
As soon as the master left, the servants all let out a sigh of relief and couldn't help but complain in low voices. With so many books in the study, they had to flip through them one by one, who knows when they would find it? It's just a prescription after all, is it necessary to make such a big fuss? Without anyone supervising, the servants started slacking off and didn't bother to look for the prescription seriously.
Niu Zhenghong got on the horse-drawn carriage and heard that Wang Ping'an was reading books in Xiangtong Academy, so he asked the coachman to drive the carriage to the academy. When they arrived at the academy, across a street, Niu Zhenghong got off the carriage and walked over, with Chang Qingfeng following closely behind him.
At the gate of the academy, as usual, sat that old servant guarding the door, holding a teapot in his hand, taking a sip of tea and smacking his lips!
Niu Zhenghong is a big shot, the highest administrative official in the province, and even if he's wearing casual clothes, his aura still needs to be maintained, completely ignoring the old servant and walking straight in!
The old servant was unwilling, stood up and stretched out his hand to block the way, saying: "Hey, hey, you've come to the wrong door, haven't you? You don't live here!"
Niu Zhenghong's eyes widened suddenly, like an ox's eyes, and he was about to scold him, but then he remembered that he had come incognito today and couldn't show his official authority. He forced a smile and said: "I... I am an old friend of your family's mountain master, and I've come specifically to visit you today. Hurry up and go in to announce my arrival!"
The old servant chuckled and said, "Every day, there are people who claim to be old friends of my master's, but since they're all old friends, why don't they know where my master lives? It's really puzzling that they would search for him and end up here!"
Qiu Wenpu lived in the small courtyard behind the academy, and students were not allowed to visit him directly. However, good friends could certainly do so, and they didn't need to go through the academy either. They could just go straight to the backyard to find him, without needing to run all the way to the academy gate to report anything.
Niu Zhenghong had been to the academy several times before, but each time he came with a big fanfare and an air of official authority. Qiu Wenpu would greet him at the door, while someone like Lao Biao, who was just a lowly servant, couldn't even get close to him, so he hadn't recognized him.
In the eyes of the old servant, the man in front was just a middle-aged short and stout fellow, with an old man following behind him, still wearing a child's clothes, who knows where he stole them from. This kind of scoundrel dares to run to the school gate and speak nonsense, if not asking for trouble, what is it?
The old servant sighed and said, "Life is really hard nowadays. You two are here to find a free meal, right? But don't look for our master!" He shook his head and took out two copper coins from his pocket, saying, "Today there's a celebration at the academy and I got some reward money, so let me show some compassion. Take it, you two, one each, go buy some buns to eat on the street!" He forced the copper coins into the hands of Niu Zhenghong and Chang Qingfeng!
Niu Zhenghong's face turned purple with rage, thinking: "I'll kick you to death with my toe! You're the governor of Xuzhou, and you think you can get rid of me with just one copper coin?"
Chang Qingfeng thought to himself, "This is great! If I continue to pretend to be ill, I'll have to make the master faint too. The old man's dizziness hasn't been cured yet, and now there's another little old man!"
He rushed to the old servant and said in a low voice, "To be honest with you, we are here to inform Master Qiu that there is news from the governor's mansion, saying that Master Qiu ordered the doctor to harm Governor Sir. Now the mansion has sent someone to arrest him!"
The old servant was greatly shocked. Today, the city caught a doctor, such a big thing he naturally knew, but unexpectedly it involved his own master! This news, whether true or false, when the master is in trouble, as a servant, has the duty to inform immediately. There's no time to judge its truthfulness, the old servant turned around and ran, running to deliver the message to Qiu Xiangpu!
Niu Zhenghong grunted, I tried to reason with him, but he wouldn't let me in. Scaring him a bit, he actually opened the door! Pointing at the old servant's back, he said: "What nonsense!"
"Sir, you are absolutely right! We don't need to bother with him. Let's hurry up and find the peaceful little divine doctor!"
Two men entered the academy, not far from where they saw a lecture hall in front of them. They didn't know what subject it was for. When they arrived at the entrance of the lecture hall, Niu Zhenghong waved his hand and Chang Qingfeng took a step forward, shouting inside: "Excuse me, is Wang Ping'an, Wang Xiaolang here to study?" After scanning the lecture hall, he saw that Wang Ping'an was not there.
The teacher and students inside turned their heads together, looking at the two people at the door. They saw that Chang Qingfeng was still okay, but when they saw Niu Zhenghong standing behind him, they were all stunned!
The gatekeeper was old and confused, plus his eyes were blurry, so he didn't recognize the governor of the province. However, Confucius and his students all knew him. In the Xiangtong Academy, there were many sons of wealthy and noble families, even if they hadn't spoken to Niu Zhenghong before, they had all met him through their fathers, so how could they not recognize the governor?
After a moment of silence, a loud rumbling sound was heard, and all the students in the study hall jumped up, bowed their hands together, and bowed to Niu Zhenghong, saying loudly: "Students pay respects to Governor Niu!"
Chang Qingfeng thought: "Got it! Even if you're a high-ranking official in disguise, forget about making a private visit!"
Niu Zhenghong furrowed his brow, thinking to himself: "Today I've had a wasted effort. Before even seeing the master, I've already been recognized by someone!" He no longer concealed himself and asked: "Which study is Wang Pingan in?"
The students all pointed north together, and the teacher stumbled over a few steps, shouting: "Governor, that young Wang Xiaolang..."
Niu Zhenghong didn't intend to waste words with him, turned around and left, heading north to find Wang Ping'an. The teacher had wanted to fawn on him, but ended up getting a cold shoulder, feeling extremely disgruntled and helpless, he returned to his seat, muttering to himself in discontent.
But the students were shocked, Governor Shi personally came to find Wang Ping'an, what for? And he was wearing casual clothes, and his entourage even called him "Young Master", could it be that Wang Ping'an is a junior of Governor Shi, are they related by blood?
Some students suddenly clapped their thighs and exclaimed, "Although Magistrate Ox is surnamed Niu, his wife is actually surnamed Wang. Could it be that Wang Ping'an and Wang Shidi are actually the maternal nephews of Magistrate Ox?"
What a big background! The students were all shocked, this matter is not small, after going home, they must tell the elders at home, if they want to find Shi Shizheng again in the future, taking Wang Ping'an's route will definitely work!
Arriving at the north-facing study, Niu Zhenghong didn't need to ask Chang Qingfeng and directly stood at the entrance. There was a moment of silence, followed by a loud noise, and then a chorus: "Students pay their respects to Governor Cishi!"
Niu Zhenghong thought to himself: "It's all because I wasn't too polite to the doctors, which made them not dare to treat Grandpa. This is my fault, and since I've made this mistake once, I won't make it again!"
He had been an official for many years, and as soon as he thought about it, the subtleties of human relationships were revealed. Niu Zhenghong's face broke into a smile, like a spring breeze, but instead of looking at the students, he looked at the stunned teacher and said, "Teacher, you've worked hard, and the safe homework still needs your attention!" This sentence was spoken very intimately, as if he were Wang Ping'an's own elder, and if Wang Ping'an were in the room at that time, he would have mistaken the Historian for his relative!
As expected, without any introduction and not wasting a single moment, the teacher's gaze naturally turned to the desk by the window, and with one glance, who was Wang Ping'an? It couldn't be clearer!
