The three Wangs were stunned, and Wang Ping'an said: "Your dowry? Oh, I remember now, that's the over a million taels of silver dowry, right? That's indeed a lot of money, but it seems like there isn't much cash, mainly just jewelry, antiques, and stuff like that!"

  The young lady, Ke Lian, smiled slightly and said: "Before I left the house, this lip color money was carefully calculated to be 12 million guan, or even if the price fluctuates, it will not be less than 12 million guan! As for cash, of course, there is not much. I dare say that in our great Tang Dynasty, no one can take out so much cash!"

  Wang Youcai glanced at Yang Shi and saw that her face was gloomy, understanding that so many big cars of goods had been pulled into their own warehouse, and the old lady had already taken possession of them. Now that Ke Lianwu mentioned it, the old lady would naturally be unnatural!

  Wang Ping'an shook his head and said, "This money is yours, how can you move it around randomly, it's not proper!"

  Ke Lianwu also shook her head and said, "No, young master, you didn't know before, and I won't tell you more, but actually this money was given to you by your adoptive father as a ransom for your life!"

  "Ransom money? Whose life is being ransomed?"

  Wang Ping'an and Wang Youcai were also surprised, who would be worth 1.2 million yuan, and besides, Wang Ping'an was a doctor, not an assassin, he wouldn't take someone's life even if you gave him money!

  "It's my sworn brother's life! My sworn father had a son in his old age, and he loved him like a treasure. He was afraid that something would happen to him, so my sworn father calculated this sum of money and sent it to the young master in advance as medical expenses!"

  Wang Ping'an furrowed his brow and said, "Is the consultation fee paid or calculated? What's going on here?"

  Ke Lianwu glanced at Wang Youcai and Yang Shi, then looked at Wang Ping'an again, only to say: "The current emperor divides the Tang Dynasty into ten paths, with a total of 360 states. To the east is the sea, so Yigong and Yidi will not go east. That leaves three directions, simple arithmetic, each direction, isn't it exactly 120 states?"

  Yang said: "This is wrong, some places have fewer states and some have more. Even if my eyesight is only slightly better than yours, I know that this calculation is incorrect!"

  Wang Youcai stroked his beard, shaking his head and saying: "How did I get dragged into this again! I understand now, the actual meaning is to go through the world, with a thousand mountains and rivers in between, right?"

  "Your Excellency is wise!"

  Yang shouted: "You dead girl, am I not wise?"

  Ke Lianwu's small face wrinkled, and she hastily added: "The lady is even more brilliant!"

  Wang Ping'an smiled and said, "I understand now. Your adoptive father means that if his precious child were to fall ill in the future, no matter where I am, even if it's at the other end of the world, as long as I receive the news, I must rush over to treat the little treasure, right?"

  Ke Lianwu was no longer reserved towards him and smiled: "Young master is very wise!"

  Yang shouted: "Your adoptive father's arithmetic is not good, and he will definitely not pass the imperial examination. Since he has eaten his fill and come up with this idea, why doesn't he directly give our family 3.6 million taels of silver, which would be better for every province!"

  Ke Lianwu was particularly afraid of her, and stiffened his scalp: "With a waist wrapped in 100,000 yuan, it's already a great wealth. Although it's still far from comparable to my adoptive father, 36 million yuan is too much. In fact, more than 10 million yuan is not a small amount... My adoptive father also calculated left and right before taking it out..."

  Yang Shi said to Wang Youcai, "You see, it's not good to take other people's money. Later, the son of the Ha family got sick and our son had to go treat him. Can't really let Ping'an run around treating him? Who cares if his son gets better or not, but my son has to catch a disease!"

  "This is just a metaphor, it means sincerity, don't take it literally!"

  Yang said, "What sincerity? I think it's ulterior motives! At first, he shamelessly sent things to our house, and I said at the time that we shouldn't accept them, but you all insisted on accepting them and didn't listen to me! Look now, aren't you regretful? The other family had ulterior motives!"

  As soon as this was said, the other three people in the house all curled their lips, what did you say at that time, it seemed like you were the most excited back then!

  "Wang Ping'an hastily said, 'Never mind, never mind, let's talk about it later. Now, let's focus on the present.' He got out of bed, put on his clothes, sat down at his desk, and wrote a long list of medicinal names with his brush. After carefully checking them over, he copied them again before saying, 'Father, today you must send someone into town to buy all these medicines, including any in stock. Don't miss a single household.' He handed another copy of the list to Ke Lianhui, telling her to keep it safe for him to use tomorrow."

  Wang Youcai took the prescription and looked at it, seeing that there were many drug names written on it. He couldn't help but say: "Buy them all? This will cost a lot of money!"

  Wang Ping'an smiled and said: "This is still a small matter, tomorrow his son will go to see a classmate, their family is in the business of selling medicinal materials, that's the big deal!"

  Yang's mother felt heartache again: "Son, you want to give out soup and medicine again? It's not that I'm being petty or stingy, but it costs a lot of money! Look at the hundreds of thousands of refugees fleeing outside the city, how can we afford to give them all food and medicine?"

  Although the money was taken out by Keren, the money to be spent is not in her own warehouse, is it? The old lady had already considered it as her own money, and it's easy to put it in, but if she takes it out, she will really feel heartache!

  Wang Youcai said, "Son, hoarding goods in a disaster year is punishable by beheading. Your uncle-in-law is not in the city now, and those people are causing trouble. But if he comes back, who knows, maybe he'll arrest a few troublemakers and chop off their heads. At that time, others will accuse you of being the ringleader of hoarding medicine, aren't you making things difficult for your uncle-in-law?"

  "Wang Ping'an said, 'Father, mother, you can rest assured that I will not hoard and speculate! As for giving out soup and medicine, that is certain, but you also don't have to worry about the money, I have my own plan, just wait a few days and you'll understand!'"

  "Ah, so Master wants to make a name for himself!"

  Wang Ping'an shook his head and said, "No, I won't use this kind of thing to seek fame, that's called seeking favor! Alright, let's do it this way for now, Father, you quickly arrange this matter, the sooner the better!"

  "Alright, I'll go and arrange it now, but I reckon it's definitely not going to be done today!" With that, he walked out of the study. Yang followed him out, thinking she would go to the warehouse again to take a look at those rouge coins, what a pity!

  Ding Dan had already arranged for hot water, Wang Ping'an sent the two maids away, took a bath, and slept for a while. In the evening, he accompanied his parents to dinner, read some books, and then rested again to recharge his energy.

  The next morning, Wang Ping'an got up early, washed and had breakfast, then took a car to the city. He first went to the governor's mansion to take a look, saw that Niu Bula's condition was still recovering, no big problem, he also advised his uncle not to eat too much salty food, and said that he would bring fire cupping tomorrow to give him fire cupping! Niu Bula was overjoyed and asked him to come early the next day.

  He left the governor's mansion and rushed to Xiangtong Academy. He arrived late today, thinking that classes were in session, but upon entering, he found that the students of the Imperial Examination Department had all gathered around the pond in the backyard, with the topic being "Wind, Flowers, Snow, and Moon". A large group of people were expressing their emotions!

  Wang Ping sighed in his heart, thinking that outside the city, many people were suffering from disasters and had no clothes or food to wear. You still have the mood to recite poetry here! It's really a matter of not being concerned with oneself, hanging high, this kind of heart, even if one has passed the imperial examination, what can they do for the people in the future?

  He entered the crowd, found Zhao Bi, patted his back and said: "Brother Zhao, come out for a moment, I have something to say to you!"

  Zhao Bi followed him out of the crowd and smiled: "Wang Xian Di, it's been a while since we last met. How has Governor treated you?"

  "Hmm, that's great! My brother-in-law has given me the quota for a student, and next year we can go to Beijing together to take the exam!" Wang Ping'an said casually.

  Zhao Bi's face suddenly showed a look of envy, thinking: "After all, it's still good to have relatives at home. Those disciple quotas are so precious, my dad didn't even have the ability to get them, but others' younger cousins can just give them away!"

  Wang Ping'an took out the prescription and said, "Brother Zhao, do you remember what you told me last time? You said that if I wanted to buy medicine in the future, I could find you. Now, brother, I'm asking for your help! Take a look at this prescription, how much of each medicine is on it, and how much I need, and quote me a price!"

  "Hey, what's the big deal? My family is in this business anyway. Selling to whoever isn't a problem. If Brother Wang wants to buy medicine, I'm more than happy to oblige! It just so happens that I can give this order to my dad and let him take a look. I'm not useless either, I can also make deals happen!"

  Zhao Bi frowned after reading the prescription, saying: "I'm telling you, younger brother, these medicines aren't expensive individually, but if you buy them all, it won't be cheap. Even at cost price, it's a large sum of money!"

  Wang Ping'an nodded and said, "You estimate a price!"

  Zhao Bi stretched out two fingers and shook them, saying: "At least this many!"

  "Two hundred thousand yuan? You've got to be kidding!" Wang Ping'an was shocked.

  Zhao Bi hastily said: "There aren't that many, I'm talking about 20,000 taels, it's impossible to be lower than this number, only more not less!"
