Chapter 283 You can offend anyone, but never the doctor
The carriage gradually went away, but everyone remained where they were. Even when the shadow of the carriage could no longer be seen, no one left until the sun rose to the middle of the sky, and then they slowly dispersed.
The people in Lijia Village also heard that Doctor Du was going to the capital today, and every household brought the best things in their homes to see him off.
The officers and soldiers were all stunned. Doctor Du really won the hearts of the people. Look at the food they collected, enough to fill a horse cart.
Du Wanwan was not polite to the people from Lijia Village, and she did not stop anyone from putting things on the carriage.
"Don't worry! The People's Clinic is still open, and the isatis root is still needed, so don't worry about planting it. Don't expand production. The People's Clinic can consume the same amount as usual."
The head of Lijia Village led everyone to bow to Du Wanwan and watched her leave.
The officers and soldiers were all shocked when they saw this scene, and they could not calm down for a long time. Doctor Du's clinic was not opened for high-ranking officials and wealthy families, but for the people of the city.
They are also the children of the people. If their brothers and sisters, parents and grandparents could also be cared for by such a doctor, they would definitely be grateful.
There were two carriages, and Du Wanwan decided to sit in separate ones as it was too crowded for everyone to fit in one carriage.
Let Xu take Ye Tingyu to the carriage at the back, while Chen Xiangxiu, Du Wanwan and Chenchen sat in the original carriage.
After everything was packed up and arranged, we were back on the road.
The carriage at the back was given to Du Wanwan by Zhou Sicheng. It had cushions and armchairs inside, making it very comfortable whether sitting or lying down.
There is also a food cabinet on the wall of the car, which is filled with all kinds of food, and even several earthenware jars of water are prepared, which shows how much care is put into it.
With the food sent by the people along the way, there is no problem eating from Liang County to the capital.
Xu sighed, "This was specially prepared by the Zhou family to thank the Crown Prince's wife for saving her life. She didn't get to enjoy it, but it was a bargain for us."
Ye Tingyu sat on the cushion: "How about we tell my sister-in-law to move them to this carriage?"
"No need. Auntie mentioned it just now. The Crown Prince's wife said that there is no need to change. She asked us to come here because she wanted us to sit more comfortably." Xu leaned back on the chair, holding the armrest, and told her daughter, "When you arrive in the capital, no matter what happens, remember to tell your sister-in-law. She is a capable person, and we will all rely on her to make a living in the future."
"Yu'er knows."
Yetingyu opened the drawer of the food cabinet, grabbed a few snacks and put them on a plate, then ate slowly. She got up too early in the morning and hadn't eaten yet, so she was hungry.
In the car in front, Du Wanwan was also eating breakfast. She sorted the food sent by the people into different categories, putting those that could be stored away first, and eating some of the ones that could not be stored first.
In fact, she had a lot of food in her space, but because her mother-in-law was around, she didn't dare to take it out casually. She would wait until her mother-in-law got tired from the ride and felt drowsy, and then she would find a way to get some food out.
We also put some of the food from outside in to avoid spoiling it. Those that were easy to spoil and not good for the children's appetite were given to the officers and soldiers.
He was a general named Fan, and no one knew how high his rank was. In any case, it was necessary to build good relationships with people along the way.
General Fan was a lieutenant general under the King of Qi. He was not very high-ranking, in his twenties, quite tall and strong. He was serious all day and looked very majestic. The officers and soldiers under him were afraid of him.
Du Wanwan was not afraid. She put the food in her hand in front of him and put it down: "This is a little gift from the people of Liangjun City. Share it with your men!"
Fan Junjie was stunned, but didn't say anything. He nodded to his subordinates and accepted her kindness. He saw that Doctor Du was definitely a good doctor, otherwise the people of Liangjun City would not have come to see him off spontaneously.
Unfortunately, the King of Qi got to know her from somewhere and had to take her to the capital. Was he hoping to recruit Doctor Du and have her open a people's clinic in the capital to win over the hearts of the people?
If he really thought so, he was probably wrong. Doctor Du didn't seem to be the type to be controlled by others.
How much courage does it take for a woman to dress like a man? Moreover, she was a refugee from famine and the Protector Princess of Dongchen Kingdom.
Regardless of whether she is rich or poor, there is no trace of arrogance in this doctor Du. She is like an orchid in a valley, whether it is raining or sunny, she is always beautiful and blooming alone.
Not affected in any way.
If the King of Qi wants to control her, he will have to put in a lot of effort, and he may not succeed.
After Du Wanwan left, Fan Junjie told his men: "Although we are escorting the women of Pingyang Marquis's Mansion to Beijing, they have done nothing wrong.
Keep your eyes open in the future. Doctor Du is a rare miracle doctor who can save lives at any time. If the People's Clinic is really opened in Beijing, our relatives can also benefit from it."
"I know, I know. Doctor Du is an excellent doctor. He is loved by the people of Liang County. It can be seen that he has worked hard for the welfare of the people."
"Didn't you see what she said to the village chief? She told them to plant whatever roots they wanted and the People's Clinic would continue to harvest them. This means that the villagers had already been planting them before, and it was Doctor Du who taught them how to do it."
"Of course, how would ordinary people know what medicinal herbs are. I heard that the doctors in the Liangjun City camp know how to make pills, and it was also taught by Doctor Du."
"More than that. It is said that Doctor Du also taught them something called a spirit, which is used to clean wounds and can reduce festering and suppuration. Doctors who cure diseases and save lives deserve our respect."
Fan Junjie picked up a piece of cake and took a bite: "You can offend anyone, but never offend the doctor."
Du Wanwan in the carriage didn't know it yet, but just by giving out some food, she had gained a few fans.
We didn't rest for the whole day and were always on the road. When night fell, we still hadn't reached the post station and had to camp in the wild.
Xu and Yetingyu came to find Du Wanwan and Chenxiangxiu and asked them to sleep in the carriage at night. There were cushions and chairs inside, making it more comfortable to sleep.
Du Wanwan held her son in her arms: "Let's do this! Mother and Auntie Tingyu go over to sleep, and Chenchen and I will rest in our carriage. There are too many people, crowded together, and no one can rest well.
My mother and aunt are old, and they don’t sleep well and have no energy the next day. Tingyu will take care of them at night, so Chenchen and I can also sleep well in the car here.”
Chen Xiangxiu's personal nanny did not want to go to the capital with him, fearing that she would not be able to return to her hometown after her death. So she released her indenture and allowed her to return home to live with her son and daughter-in-law.
There were not many other servants, so they were all released. When they returned to the capital, they did not bring any servants with them. At night, a young man had to stay with them, just in case anything happened.
Chen Xiangxiu had no objection. She felt very uncomfortable because she couldn't sleep well. Xu didn't say anything either. She knew that Du Wanwan was filial and she couldn't refuse her kindness.
