Chapter 1443: Chapter 1265: Xiao’ai, Dabao, Xiaobei

They passed through the front hall and arrived at a garden where some boys and girls between the ages of fourteen and twenty were lazily sitting around a stone table and stone benches, all clearly children of wealthy or official households from their attire.

Someone suddenly shouted, "Yanyan is here, everyone get ready!"

Immediately after, the group of boys and girls surrounded them, playfully throwing rose petals over their heads. The petals stuck all over their heads and bodies, prompting Pang Yanyan to exclaim, "Hey, I was just a bit late, and you prank me like this? See how I’ll deal with you!"

Pang Yanyan pretended to hit them, causing the young men and women to swiftly run away, with Pang Yanyan chasing after the main culprits.

After some frolicking, Pang Yanyan finally called out with a laugh, "Stop the mischief, stop the mischief. We have new guests today, let me introduce them to everyone."

Actually, everyone had already noticed Tian Xiaobei, but since Pang Yanyan had been busy playing around, no one had come up to ask. Now that Pang Yanyan mentioned it, everyone crowded around.

"This is Tian Xiaobei, a student from the Imperial Medical Institute. His medical skill is quite remarkable. My grandfather is currently under his care, so if anyone has any headaches or foot pain in the future, just go straight to him," after introducing Tian Xiaobei, Pang Yanyan then introduced her friends to him.

"This is the youngest son of the Yamen family, named Li Weifang... This one is the youngest grandson of the Fourth Prince, just call him Guigui..." Pang Yanyan introduced them one by one, and Tian Xiaobei attentively remembered each one.

All were quite influential, important for his future social connections in Capital City, Tian Xiaobei thought.

When the group learned that Tian Xiaobei was from the Imperial Medical Institute, they knew that it wasn’t easy to get into, certainly not something they could manage, so they began to praise him, "It seems you must study very hard, right? If I were half as diligent as you, my grandfather would be laughing in his dreams."

"You know Li Yanyan from the Imperial Medical Institute, right? He’s a distant relative of mine. I heard it took him three years to get in, and he was already twenty by the time he did. His family even threw a banquet on the day he passed..."

Listening to these influential people praise him filled Tian Xiaobei with a sense of pride.

He was also glad that he had listened to his parents’ advice to come to Capital City.

"Xiaobei, since your medical skills are so impressive, take a look at my eyes, will you? I feel like I’ve been having trouble seeing things clearly lately..."

"Xiaobei, take a look at my ears too, I’ve been feeling a buzzing sound recently..."

"..."

Pang Yanyan watched as Tian Xiaobei was surrounded by the group, not intervening and leaving him to handle the situation. After all, this was also a way to test him—if he couldn’t manage this, what would be the point of having him there?

Tian Xiaobei handled the situation quite smoothly, "I’d be very glad to serve everyone, but I should probably see which one of you first?"

A competitive scramble ensued, no one could outdo the others, so they finally decided to have a contest of throwing stones, the winner to be seen first.

...

Xia Dabao and Long Aixi had arrived in Capital City last night. Upon arriving, they first stayed at Long Aixi’s uncle’s house.

The uncle had succeeded Lu Jianxi’s former position as a general, and with no ongoing warfare, he traveled back and forth. The day Long Aixi arrived, the uncle was not home, so it was his aunt and cousin who welcomed him.
