Madam Niu nodded and smiled at Wang Ping'an, saying: "Let's go see your uncle first and tell him about this. And change into some new clothes too - you're my good nephew, how can you always wear old clothes?"

  Wang Ping'an also smiled and said: "The old clothes are comfortable to wear, and my nephew doesn't mind!"

  Madam Niu pulled his hand and said: "Come on, let's go see your brother-in-law!" Her attitude was warm and intimate, treating him like her own son or nephew.

  Actually, Mrs. Niu was also helpless. Grandfather scolded people all day long, although not directly at her, but at her husband, which she couldn't bear either. As a high-ranking official and the head of a state, he was often scolded as a little rabbit and frequently cursed as a son of a bitch, which was really humiliating. Whenever Grandfather lost his temper, the whole family suffered together. So since Wang Ping'an had a chance to cure Niu Bu's illness, she naturally felt happy and her attitude towards him became increasingly better.

  The servants in the mansion saw how warmly their mistress was treating this new young man, and they couldn't help but secretly find it strange. It seemed that this young man really was her relative after all, only nobody knew where he had popped up from, as nobody had ever heard of him before.

  Back to the side hall, Niu Zhenghong had been waiting here and was pacing back and forth. Seeing Madame Wang accompanying Wang Ping'an, he hurriedly came forward and asked: "How is it? Can you diagnose what disease your uncle has?"

  Wang Pingan said: "It's almost done, the general direction is confirmed, but how to treat it specifically still needs a careful examination, and now we can't make a judgment yet!"

  Niu Zhenghong nodded and said, "Be careful, be careful. You... good nephew, quickly tell your uncle about this illness!" As soon as he heard that Wang Ping'an could diagnose the general area, he felt a bit more at ease, and his words became much more affectionate.

  Wang Ping'an thought for a moment and said: "It should belong to the category of headache, dizziness, and stroke!"

  As soon as he heard the words "stroke", Niu Zhenghong almost fainted, and cried out: "A stroke? It's that serious?"

  "It's just a category, not too serious. This disease is mainly caused by the injury of seven emotions, as well as dietary disorders and internal damage, specifically speaking, it is the disorder of yin and yang, the irregularity of qi and blood, especially the disorder of liver and kidney yin and yang!"

  Niu Zhenghong didn't understand, and looked at Mrs. Niu, seeing that she was also perplexed, so he said: "Good nephew, your aunt and I don't understand medicine, nor do we know about pharmacology, can you explain it in more detail?" After saying this, he called out to the outside: "Bring tea, brew a pot of the best tea in the house!"

  The three of them sat down in the hall, and a servant brought tea. It was only then that Wang Ping'an slowly described the symptoms of his illness.

  From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, there are several types of hypertension, such as liver yang hyperactivity, yin deficiency and yang hyperactivity, wind phlegm obstruction, and qi and blood reversal.

  From the pulse, it can be seen that the liver yang is rising and the symptoms are dizziness, headache, distension of the head, red eyes, bitter mouth, irritability and anger, sometimes insomnia, and a red tongue with a yellow coating. This type usually occurs in the early stages of high blood pressure, so Wang Ping'an said it in detail. The pulse of yin deficiency yang hyperactivity is fine and rapid, with a red tongue and white coating, tinnitus, forgetfulness, five hearts burning, palpitations and insomnia.

  As for the two types of wind-phlegm obstruction and qi-blood reversal, they are much more serious. The wind-phlegm obstruction type is equivalent to hypertension complicated by cerebral thrombosis, while the qi-blood reversal type is equivalent to hypertension complicated by cerebral hemorrhage. These symptoms didn't exist at all, so Wang Ping'an just mentioned them in passing, scaring Niu Zhenghong a bit and telling him that if Niu Buluo's illness wasn't treated promptly, the consequences would be very serious.

  Wang Pingan has also learned his lesson. He found that treating people with power and treating ordinary poor people are different. When treating ordinary poor patients, Wang Pingan is always gentle and reassuring, telling the patient that their illness can be cured as long as they cooperate with treatment. He deeply understands that a doctor's attitude can have a great impact on the patient's psychology, so he tries his best not to make the patient worry.

  When treating the powerful, it's a different story. Especially when treating the powerful during the early Tang dynasty, one must make the illness sound more severe! It's as if these aristocratic families would lose face if they contracted the same illnesses as ordinary people. If they didn't have some rare and complicated condition, it would be a loss of prestige, a blow to their noble status.

  So Wang Ping'an had no choice but to follow the pace of the times and say whatever he saw.

  Niú Zhèng Hóng listened, and a layer of white sweat broke out on his forehead. He was frightened! He said: "This, this, it must be treated immediately, can't let the disease develop arbitrarily!"

  Madam Niu also said: "Yes, yes, it must be treated quickly!"

  Wang Ping'an shook his head and said, "It's still a bit difficult to determine. I need to take another look at this illness to see if it's accompanied by other underlying conditions. If we only treat this one disease, won't the medications conflict with each other? What if curing this one makes another condition even worse?"

  Niu Zhenghong nodded hastily and said: "Right, right, good nephew, you're absolutely right! We must be careful in our diagnosis!"

  "Ah, my nephew will definitely cure your father's illness," said Mrs. Niu suddenly. "It's just a bit of trouble, but what's the harm in that? It's only natural for one's own child to treat their own family member's illness, isn't it?" As she spoke, she gave Niu Zhenghong a meaningful glance.

  Niu Zhenghong suddenly realized, the lady is right! It's troublesome to bother people back and forth. We can't let others work in vain! Looking at Wang Ping'an's wealthy family background, it doesn't seem like they're short of money. Giving them a medical bill would be useless!

  He said, "I suddenly remembered something. Last time Qiu Wenpu came to find me and mentioned you, praising you highly. At that time, I had the idea of going to see you, but unfortunately, I've been too busy lately and couldn't spare the time. By the way, what was it that Qiu Wenpu asked me for last time, something related to you? Do you know what it was?"

  Wang Ping sighed in his heart, it seems that Qiu Shan's face is not big enough, at least in front of the governor, his face is not very big, he came to ask for help once, but the other party didn't even remember anything!

  He didn't hide or beat around the bush, saying: "Master Qiu treated me very well, but because I wanted to go to Beijing for the exam next year, there was no quota for tribute students. So he thought of coming to ask his brother-in-law if he could give me a student quota. I also knew it was difficult to do, so I didn't dare to open my mouth and ask my brother-in-law!"

  Niu Furen listened from the side, let out a "hiss" and laughed: "I thought it was something big, but to others, the quota for disciples is a huge matter, but in our manor..."

  Niu Zhenghong coughed and glared at Madame Niu, "You're a woman, how can you say such things? Can people still take your feelings into consideration?" He said, "It's a huge matter in our household too. I originally wanted to save that quota for my son, but Ping'an, you're like a nephew to me, I absolutely cannot be stingy. Alright, don't worry about it anymore, I'll give the student quota to you right now, and then write a letter to the Ministry of Education, you can directly participate in the provincial exam, and I'll cover your travel expenses too, isn't that saving a lot of trouble?" He emphasized the word "trouble" heavily.

  Wang Ping An didn't stand on ceremony at all, and immediately stood up to pay his respects, saying: "Thank you so much, Uncle and Auntie!" He gave a smile to Niu Furen.

  Niu Zhenghong glanced out the window and said, "The sky is already late, Grandpa should wake up soon. Good nephew, you go take care of your uncle, let him have a good time tonight, and also let your aunt and me sleep more peacefully!"

  Wang Ping'an said: "How dare you, young nephew, not to do your best!"

  Madam Niu said: "Change into this set of clothes, and put back on your original clothes, these clothes are too old-fashioned!"

  Niu Zhenghong said, "Don't change, don't change, just wear this one, good nephew, bear with it for now!" He patted Wang Ping'an's arm and sent him out of the side hall, all the way to the small building door.

  Wang Ping'an entered the small building and saw that Niu Bula was already up, sitting at the table with several small dishes and bowls on it, apparently ready to have dinner.

  "Good boy, come quickly and have dinner with me. You must be starving! Sit down!"

  Wang Ping'an responded with a grunt and sat down beside him. He took a look at the table and saw that Niu Bula's dinner was not sumptuous, and it wasn't even as good as what he had at home. There were just a few dishes of pickled vegetables and a large bowl of soup, which turned out to be a pickled vegetable soup!

  Wang Ping'an furrowed his brow, eating something so salty isn't a good thing!
