The old woman from the third branch of the family bowed and withdrew, returning to her courtyard in shock.
Madam Su helped her father into the carriage and bid farewell to her elder brother, saying, "Father, please take care. I will return to Dingzhou to see you when I have the chance. Elder brother, please take good care of Father on your journey."
"You don't need to say anything more, I will take good care of Father. You also need to take good care of yourself and Xiao Youran." Su Ze said gently, and hugged Xiao Youran again. "If it weren't for Wang Qi's mother keeping him in check and preparing him to go on dates with girls, he would have really wanted to come and see you, his aunt and Xiao Tuanzi."
Madam Su said happily, "He's almost eighteen, isn't he? Isn't that the age when we should be looking for a wife and preparing for an engagement? I hope we'll have a happy event next year!"
Su Ze shook his head. "Have you forgotten the Su family's rule that men can only marry at twenty? I need to give him more experience in the next two years. After all, he is the eldest son in the family and is destined to shoulder great responsibilities."
After saying that, he put Xiao Youran down and slowly helped Grandpa Su into the carriage.
At this moment, Xiao Youran finally remembered something and shouted, "Wait!"
Su Ze and Old Master Su both shuddered.
Xiao Youran was reminded of Su Wangqi by her uncle's mention of him, and quickly said, "Uncle, is Cousin Wangqi going to be on a blind date?"
She remembered that in her previous life, this cousin later became lame because he was startled by a horse during a blind date, fell off the horse, and broke his leg, which never fully recovered.
Because of his lameness, no girl he was interested in took a liking to him, and the position of the next generation head of the Su family did not fall to him. He lived a very miserable life for the next few years. The once spirited eldest grandson of the Su family suddenly became a useless person.
Su Ze found it amusing that the young girl was actually concerned about her cousin's marriage, so he playfully pinched her nose and said, "Yes, perhaps in two years when you return to Dingzhou, you'll be able to meet your new cousin's wife!"
Xiao Youran suddenly said seriously, "Uncle, my cousin's marriage is not yet due, this girl is not suitable for us."
Grandpa Su stopped in his tracks as he bent down to get into the carriage. Hearing this, he burst into laughter, "You little brat, do you even know what marriage is?"
Seeing Xiao Youran's expression, Madam Su quickly tugged at Su Ze's sleeve, "Big brother, don't take Xiao Youran's words too seriously. Has the date for the matchmaking been set? When is it?"
Su Ze thought for a moment and shook his head, "Wang Qi's mother only mentioned it to me briefly, and I don't know the exact date yet. I'll ask her when I get back."
Madam Su was somewhat anxious. "It will take at least ten days to half a month to get back to Dingzhou from the capital. With Father here, it will only be later, not earlier. Why don't you write a letter and have someone send it back as fast as possible to remind your sister-in-law not to rush into making arrangements?"
Grandpa Su shook his head, "Ya Rong, Wang Qi's parents will take care of things, so you don't need to worry about it. We're leaving now, so please take care of yourselves."
Little Youran clung to her uncle's sleeve, tilting her head up to look at him. "Uncle, Cousin Wangqi is the eldest grandson of the Su family's main branch, and may even be the future head of the Su family. You and Aunt should be more careful about his marriage."
As she spoke, she pulled Su Ze down and whispered something in his ear.
Su Ze's expression immediately changed.
Then Xiao Youran took her mother's hand and waved to them, "Grandpa, Uncle, take care on your journey!"
Su Ze boarded the carriage with a suspicious look, sat down, and the carriage slowly drove away.
Grandpa Su asked with great interest, "Aze, what did the little girl say?"
Su Ze looked surprised. "She said, 'We... we must make sure no one discovers anything about that piece of land in that city!'"
Grandpa Su was shocked. "How did she know?!"
On the other side, Madam Su asked Xiao Youran curiously, "Little Ranbao, what did you say to your uncle? And why did you tell Cousin Wangqi not to go to the matchmaking?"
Little Youran winked at her mother, then ran off with a grin, "I won't tell you!"
Su smiled helplessly.
However, my daughter has always been very opinionated, so I just let her be.
However, half a month later, Su received a letter from Dingzhou, and her expression became very serious after reading it.
It turned out that Su Ze's letter was too late. Su Wangqi had already gone to meet the woman the day before, as arranged by his mother, and ended up falling off his horse.
The physician shook his head upon examining the patient.
When he fell, his outer ankle struck a sharp stone, almost flattening the entire lateral ankle bone. Several of the best doctors in Dingzhou said it would be difficult to heal completely.
Su Ze's letter was filled with regret.
With a complicated expression, Su handed the letter to Xiao Youran, as if there was no need to worry about whether she could understand it.
Xiao Youran read it once, her expression also becoming solemn.
As expected, Cousin Wang Qi became a cripple, just like in his previous life.
She looked at her mother and said, "Mother, I want to go to Dingzhou to check on Cousin Wangqi's injuries. Is that alright?"
Thinking of her daughter's unusual medical skills, Madam Su suggested, "Why don't we ask Physician Gu to go with you?"
Xiao Youran thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay."
It's time to explain some basic knowledge of trauma surgery to my master.
Dr. Gu, who was caught in the crossfire: ...
The renowned doctor Gu over there was so busy he barely had time to breathe.
Over the past year, his Renjitang pharmacy has become increasingly famous in Kyoto.
Not only did the eldest princess frequently bring her young child to Renjitang, but even the wife of the Duke of Zhenguo would often come for treatment when she had a headache or fever.
These two noble ladies, whose mere stomp could shake the elite circles of Kyoto, didn't put on any airs and asked Doctor Gu to come to their homes for a consultation. Other nobles also dared not send anyone to summon Doctor Gu to their residences, unless they were so ill that they couldn't get out of bed, or women who were about to give birth and couldn't move.
Especially the latter.
If we were to name the most renowned and skilled physician in the capital, what would be his specialty?
That must be a precious child.
Who told him to be the one who saved the lives of the princess and her son?
The reason he is her savior is that he saved her and her son from a difficult childbirth on the day the princess gave birth.
Therefore, many women who are about to give birth come to seek medical help, and many others come seeking life-saving treatment when they encounter critical situations during labor.
Doctor Gu did indeed encounter several critical situations involving breech presentation. He didn't hesitate, and whenever surgery was needed, he would ask Yan Jin to ask Xiao Youran for help.
Xiao Youran was generous, taking out all the surgical instruments and a related book.
Therefore, Doctor Gu's medical skills in the field of Qianjin Ke (a traditional Chinese medicine) improved by leaps and bounds.
When Xiao Youran arrived at the pharmacy, she saw a long line stretching out from the main hall, filled with pregnant women.
She didn't know how to express herself for a moment: ...
Is this the beginning of becoming a specialized obstetrics and gynecology hospital?
Further inside, I found that many women were not pregnant, but were holding babies.
Okay, it's not a maternity hospital, it's a women and children's hospital.
A voice nearby exclaimed in surprise, "You Ran, little sister!"
