Yang pulled Wang Youcai aside and asked in a low voice: "Does your family really have such good relatives?"

  Wang Youcai wiped the sweat from his forehead and shook his head, saying: "We Wangs have many relatives, but absolutely none as good as this one. You know that already, so why ask me?"

  Wang Ping'an grunted, looking at the dignified Niu Zhenghong. His mind racing, he was well aware of his own weight and status. Niu Zhenghong, as a high-ranking official, wouldn't need to acknowledge him as a relative even if he wanted to promote young talent. The only reason for this must be that Niu wanted him to treat his elderly father's illness, tricking him into taking some medicine or something. There was no other possible explanation!

  Recognizing relatives is not a big deal, it's easy to say anything when recognizing them, but if the old man's illness can't be cured, then nothing will be easy to say later. On the other hand, even pretending to recognize officials and relatives is possible, people have two lips, whatever they want to say, it's just a matter of opening their mouths!

  Chang Qingfeng hastily said, "Ah, I've long seen that Ping An is different from the others, but I didn't expect him to be the master's nephew. It seems my judgment isn't entirely off!"

  Looking at Ambassador Wang Ping'an's expression, whether or not Old Man Niu is well-treated is a matter for later. If you offend Governor Shi now, that would be a bad thing to happen right before our eyes. Don't be foolish, when it's time to call someone "brother-in-law", you should do so promptly. With a brother-in-law like Governor Shi, what more could you possibly want?

  Wang Ping'an took a deep breath, turned his head to look at his parents, and saw that they both had a bewildered expression, apparently still unable to fully accept the fact of recognizing their ancestors.

  When it comes down to it, whether you stick your neck out or shrink back, it's still a knife to the throat. A real man can't dawdle; when it's time to show courage, he must show courage!

  Wang Ping'an's face suddenly lit up with realization, and he hastily took a step forward, lifted the hem of his robe, and knelt down to Niu Zhenghong, exclaiming: "Uncle, nephew has finally found you!"

  Niu Zhenghong also had a look of seeing his relatives, and he went forward to hug Wang Ping'an's head, shouting: "My poor child, I've let you suffer for so many years. Today we meet as relatives, and from now on we'll never be apart again!"

  Both of them knew each other's thoughts, but they didn't have any real familial relationship. They had to put on a surprised face, but it was just surprise - neither of them could squeeze out tears, the emotional foundation was too weak!

  Wang Youcai thought to himself, "So this is acknowledging a relative? Then what should I call the Governor of Jizhou? Call him brother-in-law? Oh my god, calling the Governor of Jizhou brother-in-law...this is so awkward!"

  "Oh, so the Governor is my sister's husband! That makes you my brother-in-law!" Yang said, not caring about the details, as long as he came to their doorstep willingly, what's wrong with calling him that?!

  Niú Zhèng Hóng's face was somewhat embarrassed, if it weren't for ā Yé (grandfather), even if the Wang family came to fawn on him, he might not have responded. Now, however, he had to be called brother-in-law, this recognition of kinship was a bit awkward!

  Since he felt embarrassed, he naturally didn't want to stay any longer. He pulled up Wang Ping'an and said warmly: "Ping'an, good boy, your aunt is waiting for you at home, and... your uncle is also waiting for you at home. Time is not convenient, let's go back home to see them now, and make them happy!"

  Pulling Wang Ping'an to go out, seeing that Wang Youcai and Yang Shi also wanted to follow him out the door, Niu Zhenghong suddenly smiled and said: "Wait for another day, you two come again, I'll let my wife prepare some good wine and dishes, treat you two well, today just let Ping'an follow me and it's settled!"

  Wang Youcai and Yang stopped in their tracks, thinking to themselves: "We were just trying to see you off, not that we didn't know what's proper, how could we really go to your home!"

  Niu Zhenghong pulled Wang Ping'an out of the mansion quickly, seeing that outside, layer upon layer of people were standing, none of whom had left. He didn't want to say anything more either, waving his hand for the people to clear the road, got on the horse carriage and drove away.

  Lord Jian Shi just left like that, Wang Youcai sighed and said: "This thing came too suddenly, I really can't believe it!"

  Yang said with a smile, "You say we recognize our brother-in-law, naturally we should also recognize our sister. Why don't we go into the city one day and take a look at our sister? Our sister is the wife of the governor, a lucky person, I wonder what she will be like?"

  Wang Youcai thought for a moment: "I'm afraid it's got to be as round and smooth as pearls, at least as white and plump as a white radish!"

  "I think so too!" Yang nodded in agreement.

  The people outside saw Wang Ping'an being taken away by Niu Zhenghong with great warmth, and they all discussed it. Some students who had a good relationship with Qiu's family saw Qiu Tingxuan and his father coming out, and they hurried over to ask Qiu Tingxuan: "Brother, is the governor and Wang Ping'an relatives?" The people outside were saying that they were related, and this student came to confirm it.

  Qiu Tingxuan smiled and said, "Huh, how did you know? Well, it's true that we're relatives. Wang Xian is the nephew of the Governor!" He had seen the whole process in the hall, so he naturally understood that it was fake, but since others asked, he might as well pretend it was true!

  The student was greatly surprised, it turned out to be a real relative! He ran back to the group of students and spread the word. The students who heard this were all shocked and wondered why Wang Shidi was so "out of place", it turned out that he was actually the nephew of the Governor!

  On the carriage, Chang Qingfeng interestingly did not enter the compartment, but instead sat beside the coachman. The only ones left in the compartment were Niu Zhenghong and Wang Pingan. The two of them sat silently opposite each other, both lost in thought.

  After a long while, when they were almost entering the city, Niu Zhenghong finally said: "Ping'an, you're a clever kid, and I won't play tricks on you. Today's matter has forced me into a dead end, so I thought of this plan. There's no other meaning to it, just wanting you to take a look at Master's illness for him. If you can cure it, then I'll really acknowledge you as my nephew; if not..."

  He paused for a moment, and ultimately did not say anything threatening, but only said: "You're young, and it's inevitable that your medical skills are not refined, so even if you can't cure him, I won't blame you. Don't be afraid of taking responsibility, just do what you need to do!"

  Wang Ping sighed in his heart, if he followed his usual temperament, he wouldn't be too willing to enter the Shi Mansion under these circumstances. But this could also be seen as an opportunity for training. After all, if he went to Chang'an in the future and really managed to pass the imperial examination, then he would have plenty of opportunities to treat high-ranking officials in the future. He might as well take this chance to practice his skills. At least he would gain some experience in dealing with high officials.

  Nodding his head, Wang Ping'an said: "Actually, the student should thank you, after all, you believed in me and did this. The student will definitely do his best to diagnose and treat the old man!"

  "It's all right as long as you have the heart!" Niu Zhenghong briefly told him about what happened during the day, and how irresponsible those doctors were. He warned Wang Ping'an not to learn from them, saying that being too cunning was not a good thing! He also simply told him about the situation in the mansion and reminded him of things he should pay attention to.

  Wang Ping'an remembered it in his heart.

  As they spoke, the carriage arrived at the residence of Governor Shi. Niu Zhenghong led him out of the carriage and into the mansion, first going to the side hall, where he ordered someone to summon his wife and told her everything that had happened.

  Niu's wife was a kind and gentle person, with a dignified appearance. From the perspective of Tang Dynasty aesthetics, she had a few points of beauty, indeed being fair-skinned and plump. She understood her husband's intentions and said: "Father just got angry again, scolding you for cursing him to death. If I let my nephew go see Father, he absolutely cannot say that he understands medicine, or else he will definitely get scolded again, which would delay things!"

  "I understand, I naturally understand!" Niu Zhenghong thought for a moment and came up with a plan, which he told to Mrs. Niu. Mrs. Niu listened and looked at Wang Ping'an, saying: "Good child, you have to suffer a bit of injustice!"

  "Please don't be polite, Auntie," Wang Ping'an said hastily, "this is something I should do!"

  Mrs. Niu sighed and went back to the rear hall. Niu Zhenghong and Wang Pingan sat opposite each other, constantly sighing.

  After a while, a maid quickly walked into the side hall and said: "Master, the old master just scolded you as a beast..."

  Niu Zhenghong angrily said: "What are you telling me with these words? If there's something, say it quickly!"

  Yahuan hastily said: "The old master is asking young master to come over!"

  Niu Zhenghong stood up and pulled Wang Ping'an's hand, saying: "It's your turn now, everything is counting on you!"
