Chapter 80: Tang Dynasty People Also Got High Blood Pressure

  According to the plan discussed by Niu Zhenghong and his wife earlier, Wang Ping'an changed into a set of gray cloth clothes with patches, an old worn-out garment, and followed Yini out of the side hall to the small building where Niu Bulao lived.

  Not far away, after walking for a while, they arrived. Wang Ping'an hadn't entered the building yet when he heard a loud scolding voice coming from inside. It was an old and hoarse voice, which cursed: "You're even worse than beasts! How can you drive someone out just because their family is poor? You have no conscience at all! What kind of official are you? You'd better go back home and farm instead!"

  Wang Ping thought to himself, "This is probably the infamous Niu Bulaoye, although he has a bad temper, his character is still very good!" He deliberately messed up his hair, making himself look disheveled, and walked into the small building with his head down.

  Inside the house, rows of servants and maids stood on both sides, all with their heads bowed, no one dared to make a sound. In the large room, there was only one voice echoing, Niu Bulao scolded again: "You're so poor-loving and rich-loving, how did I raise such a beast-like son! Someone come, go tell that rabbit bastard, kneel at the door, recite 'The Analects' 10,000 times, and receive two sets of punishment!"

  Wang Ping'an entered the house and saw an old man half-reclining on the bed, with rough skin but a round head and brain, looking like he had a father-son relationship with Niu Zhenghong. He guessed that when Niu Zhenghong got older, he might also become this way!

  The old man scolded loudly, while Mrs. Niu stood aside and wept. Seeing Wang Ping'an enter, Mrs. Niu cried out: "My poor child, come quickly, let your uncle see you!"

  "Come here by my side, kid! Who dares to bully you now?"

  Wang Ping'an walked to the bedside, knelt down and said with a bitter face: "Sun Wang Ping'an, pay respects to Grandpa!" Wanting to cry but having no tears, he could only pretend to lift his arm to wipe his face, as if he had already wiped away his tears.

  It turned out that Niu Zhenghong had just made a plan in the side hall. He knew Old Master's temper well, and Niu Buluo was not an unreasonable person, nor did he have the habit of scolding others. He only scolded him alone. Moreover, because Niu Buluo came from a poor family, he sympathized with children from poor families the most. If you want to quickly gain his favor, the best way is to win over his sympathy.

  Because Wang Ping'an is also a celebrity in Xuzhou, if it's said that he's Wang Ping'an from Wulicun Village, some servant with a loose tongue might say that Wang Ping'an is actually the little god of medicine, Ping'an. Niu Bula would get angry again and think that others are cursing him to death, which would worsen his condition. So it's better not to mention who Wang Ping'an specifically is, just say he's a distant relative who has no other choice but to come and freeload!

  Niu Zhenghong had no choice but to play the role of a "bad guy", a snobbish and wealthy scoundrel. When his wife's poor relatives came to visit, he didn't want to recognize them and even wanted to drive them away. However, Mrs. Niu was unwilling, yet afraid of her husband, so she could only cry and come find Niu Bu La, asking Grandfather to intervene and not drive their own poor relatives away.

  After hearing that, Niu believed it to be true and was furious in her heart. How could her son have become like this? Wasn't it said that the more one holds power, the worse their character becomes? In the past, how did she raise him up? Weren't they relying on the help of fellow villagers, barely scraping by with a meal here and there? It's truly said that they were eating food from a hundred families and wearing clothes from a hundred families. With great difficulty, she finally raised him up!

  How can one become an official and forget one's roots? Now that relatives have come to rely on you, just because they are poor, do you want to drive them away? Is it that the governor's mansion is not big enough, there is no room for them to live in, or is it that your family cannot afford to open a pot, and there is no food for their children to eat?

  When Wang Ping'an came in and bowed to him, Niu Bulao said: "Get up, let Grandpa take a look at you."

  Wang Ping'an stood up and walked over to Niu Bula, saw that Niu Bula patted the bed, he obediently sat down very well-behaved.

  The cow didn't pull a smile as he looked at him, saying: "Still a pretty good-looking kid." He pulled over Wang Ping'an's hand, took a look, and said again: "Haven't done any hard work, have you? Thin-skinned and tender!"

  Wang Ping'an thought for a moment, then said: "At home they wanted me to have a good future, so they only let me study and not do any work. But after the flood..." He hummed a few times, with an expression that looked like he wanted to cry but didn't dare to. He certainly didn't want to tell lies about his family being ruined, which would be cursing Wang Youcai and Yang Shi. This was something he absolutely wouldn't say, even if it was just a casual remark.

  He refused to speak, so Mrs. Niu had to force herself to think of an excuse for him, but then she saw Niu wave his hand, indicating that she should stop talking nonsense, why bother bringing up sad things again and again, wouldn't it just make the child even more upset?

  Niu Buluo was a man who had suffered hardships, so he understood Wang Ping'an's inner thoughts at this moment. Therefore, he did not ask questions, but instead repeatedly comforted him, which saved Wang Ping'an a lot of trouble.

  Wang Pingan also pulled up Niu Bula's hand and said, "Uncle, your hands are so thick!" Taking advantage of the warmth of holding hands, he took Niu Bula's pulse.

  The cow didn't pull, nor did it think of going elsewhere. Although it felt that the child was a bit strange, with quite some strength in its hand, it thought that maybe it had suffered a lot in the past few days. Today, being driven out by his son again, he treated him better, so when pulling his own hand, he used slightly more force. He never thought that Wang Pingan would be a doctor. The doctors who came today were not old men, nor were they under thirty years old, let alone under twenty!

  Niu Bu La Dao: "This is still rough, in the past, my uncle's hands were all calloused, but he hasn't been working for a few years now, so they've all fallen off!"

  Wang Ping'an raised one hand and said: "The palm lines on Grandpa's hand are all worn out, is the other hand like this too?"

  The cow didn't pull the feeling that this kid was indeed a bit strange, but where exactly he was strange, couldn't be said, but looking at his hand wasn't a big deal either, so he stretched out another hand and said: "They're all the same. Kid, are you going to have Grandpa read your palm?"

  Wang Ping'an grabbed his other hand and felt the pulse, but said with a smile: "The child was just thinking that if he couldn't get an official position in the future, he would have to farm. Would the child's hands also be like Grandpa's in the future?"

  He said with his mouth, but thought in his heart: "The pulse is the number of strings, his face is slightly red, his eyes are crimson, only to know what kind of tongue coating he has?"

  Mrs. Niu watched from the side, her heart racing wildly, she understood that Wang Ping'an was using the excuse of looking at the pulse to take Grandfather's pulse, and had taken one hand, and was going to take the other hand, could it be that this illness was difficult to diagnose?

  "The cow sighed and said, 'Kid, you look down on farming, but without us country folks working day and night, the world wouldn't be at peace. You haven't experienced the hardships of the past. The rich people call us "leg-bare legs", but if our legs weren't muddy, would they have food to eat? If you look down on farming, it means you look down on ordinary people, and you don't care about them in your heart. Even if you become an official, you'll just be a corrupt one!'"

  At this point, he suddenly became angry and withdrew his hand, not allowing Wang Ping'an to grab it!

  Wang Ping'an thought to himself: "Quick-tempered, this is also a kind of expression!"

  "Look at this child, he can't even say a word, he's become a bookworm! No wonder your uncle doesn't like you and wants to drive you away!"

  "Niu Bu La suddenly shouted: 'Don't mention that little rabbit to me, every time I think of him my head hurts! Kid, human relationships and worldly affairs aren't something you're born knowing how to do. You're still young and haven't experienced much, just wait until you're a bit older and it'll be fine! Don't be afraid, with your uncle and grandfather here, no one dares to bully you!'"

  He is indeed very hot-tempered and also gets angry for no reason. Just now, Wang Ping'an didn't say anything to look down on people who cultivate the land, but he thought that Wang Ping'an might look down on him, so he got angry. Now, as soon as he hears Niu Furen speak, he immediately stops being angry with Wang Ping'an and instead gets angry with Niu Zhenghong!

  In just two short sentences, his anger shifted direction, this is a typical manifestation of irritability!

  Wang Ping'an said: "Uncle, you have a headache, is it a sharp pain?"

  The cow mooed and said, "How did you know?"

  "It's just the child making wild guesses!"

  You say so, but in my heart I think, how do I know, how would I not know? This kind of illness, in modern times, every day I have to look at several good ones, let alone me knowing, if you put the instrument on the table and strap it on your arm, two minutes later, you yourself will know!
