Chapter 1438: Chapter 1260: Xiao’ai, Dabao, Xiaobei

Pang Historian’s family lived near the Imperial Medical Institute. On the day when Old Master Pang had a stroke, it was Imperial Physician Wen who was on duty, so it was he who came to administer aid. At that time, the corner of Old Master Pang’s mouth was twisted, drooling without his awareness, his face flushed red. Fortunately, he didn’t remain unconscious for long. After several applications of silver needles, he woke up. Upon awakening, he had no issues with awareness, but his temperament had become somewhat irritable.

Imperial Physician Wen, accompanied by a few students, talked as they entered the Pang Mansion.

The Pang Mansion was built with a grand and majestic air. A pair of large stone lions at the entrance bared their teeth and claws, and six guards stood at the door, giving it a quite formidable look.

Inside, it was even more impressive—a large garden, a pond and pavilion, surrounded by a ring of lush bamboo. Numerous maidservants and manservants bustled about inside.

The students quietly remarked on the impressive nature of the Pang Mansion. Hearing this, Imperial Physician Wen laughed and said, "Look at how amazed you all are. Once you pass the examinations in three seasons and directly serve in the Palace treating the Emperor and the royal consorts, the decor there will really make your eyes pop, won’t it?"

Laughter broke out, and their anticipation of the Imperial Palace grew even more.

Walking next to Tian Xiaobei, a classmate nudged him and whispered, "Xiaobei, with your excellent studies, you’re definitely going to serve in the Palace one day. The things in there are a million times better than here. I’ve heard that even the palace maids are better-looking than the ones outside."

Tian Xiaobei smiled lightly, "Isn’t it a bit early to talk about this now? We’ll see when the time comes."

Actually, he was also feeling a stir of ambition inside.

Becoming an imperial doctor, although it came with some risks, was a truly prestigious affair. Once one became an imperial doctor, even the ministers in the capital had to give them face.

Having been at the Imperial Medical Institute for so long, he had gradually come to understand some things—for example, imperial doctors had their own mansions outside, but they needed to stay in the Palace when on duty, waiting for calls, though their families could live outside in the mansions.

So in the future... he could bring his parents and Xia Dabao over.

By that time, he’d be an imperial doctor, and his parents would no longer oppose his marriage to Xia Dabao.

It would be best if Uncle Ye and Aunt Nan Feng could come too, since his salary was high, he could afford to support so many people.

...

While he was pondering this, the Pang Family’s Butler came out and led them to Old Master Pang’s room, and everyone fell silent.

Imperial Physician Wen entered with the students. He checked Old Master Pang’s pulse while the students stood behind him, waiting for him to disclose the medical condition.

"Old Master Pang, how have you been feeling these past two days?" Imperial Physician Wen asked as he took the pulse.

Since suffering the stroke, Old Master Pang had been sulking in his room with a bad temper.

The older one gets, the more they fear loneliness and crave company. Now, seeing so many people, particularly young folks, Old Master Pang’s mood improved somewhat. Instead of answering Imperial Physician Wen, he looked at the young men behind and asked, "Who are these folks?"

"Old Master Pang, these are my students," Imperial Physician Wen smiled, "I brought them here to see you and to learn about your condition, to see if they have any better methods. Don’t underestimate them—they are all Divine Doctors selected from various places. Sometimes they come up with ideas that even I find superior to my own."

"Oh?" Old Master Pang was skeptical, "Then why don’t you let them treat me instead of you, an old fellow, coming here?"
