Feng Yuheng entered the yard surrounded by a group of children. Wang Chuan and his men moved all the things out of the car and took the children to the yard to divide them. At this time, Fusang pointed at the group of people standing in the middle of the yard, especially the two children kneeling on the ground and said, "Princess, look, these are two children who fell into the water and were rescued. They must ask Zhuangzi to take them in."
Feng Yuheng asked Fusang, "But an orphan?"
Fuso shook his head and said, "It's because I'm not an orphan that I'm worried."
"Not orphans?" Feng Yuheng was puzzled, and walked forward a few steps, but his eyes were cast on the people standing next to the two children. Especially a young man who was also wet, although embarrassed, he still had the demeanor of a gentleman. She felt that this person was familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen him for a moment. The man seemed to want to talk to her, but the two children kneeling in front of him began to cry again, so he took the servants and took two steps back, and made a gesture of invitation to Feng Yuheng. Feng Yuheng nodded politely at him, and then asked the two half-grown children: "I heard that you are not orphans? Then why do you ask us to take you in? This is an orphanage, and it takes in children without parents."
She spoke softly as she stepped forward and grabbed the wrists of the two children one by one to feel their pulses. They were all wet in the middle of winter, obviously having been fished out of the water. It would be strange if they didn't catch a cold while kneeling on the ground.
The two children looked at her like a master, and regardless of whether Feng Yuheng was checking their pulse, one of them hurriedly said, "Please take us in. We know this is an orphanage, but we have also heard that people are taught medical skills here, and it is very advanced medical skills. Our mother is seriously ill, and all the money in the family has been spent on her medical treatment. There is no money left for treatment. Please take us in, teach us medical skills, and let us cure our mother. We can work on the farm. My brother and I are seven years old and can do a lot of work. When we grow up and earn money, we will send it here to repay it. We won't live and eat for free. Please!"
The child was about to kowtow as he spoke, Feng Yuheng signaled Tian Dong and Fu Sang to stop them quickly, and then put down their wrists and said, "You are weak, and a lot of cold air has invaded. It looks like you fell into the water, right? Fortunately, you got ashore early. If you had stayed in the water for a while longer, I'm afraid you would have lost half your life."
Tian Dong then said, "The two children came from the other side of the big river ahead. A section of the river was frozen, and they took the risk of walking on the ice to take a shortcut. But they didn't expect that the ice was not frozen solid, and a hole appeared when they walked to the middle, swallowing the two children." After saying this, he looked at the young man standing next to him, and then said, "Thanks to this kind-hearted young man who was passing by the shore with his entourage, he saw the two children fall in and quickly rescued them, otherwise the two children would be in great danger."
Tian Dong introduced the topic, and the young man finally spoke: "The two children are still strong and can speak after landing. They said they wanted to go to the other side of the river to seek refuge in a manor that specializes in teaching people medicine. I thought it should be here, so I took the initiative to bring them here."
Feng Yuheng smiled and nodded, and said to the young master: "Thank you very much. No matter what, it is two lives. Young master is kind enough to save them. Ah Heng is grateful."
"Ah Heng..." The young man pondered for a moment, then smiled faintly and looked at Feng Yuheng without saying anything else.
The more Feng Yuheng looked at this person, the more familiar he felt, but he just couldn't remember where he had seen him before. At this time, the two kneeling children were already shivering, but they still stubbornly grabbed the cloak behind Feng Yuheng and begged desperately. Feng Yuheng had no choice but to say to Tian Dong: "Make arrangements for them first. No matter what, you have to drive away the cold and heal your body first." After saying that, he looked at the two children again and said: "It's not that I'm sure I want to keep you, but your physical condition doesn't allow you to stay outside anymore. Just stay here first and we'll talk about it later."
The two children nodded, knowing that no matter how much they begged, it would be useless. Moreover, they were already freezing and would probably die on the spot if they knelt down. So they did not refuse and let Tiandong call the servants to carry them into the house.
At this time, Wangchuan also handed over the distribution of gifts to the servants in the manor, and then trotted to Feng Yuheng's side. She glanced at the man who was in a mess but still well-mannered, and quickly bowed - "Your servant Wangchuan, hello..."
"Miss, there's no need to be so polite." Before Wang Chuan could finish her words, the man quickly spoke up to stop her. He also stepped forward to support Wang Chuan's half-bent body, then shook his head and said in a low voice, "When you're out, don't worry about these etiquettes."
As soon as he said this, coupled with Wang Chuan's gesture of greeting, Feng Yuheng remembered it all at once. She couldn't help but raise her hand to pat her forehead, thinking that she really had a bad memory. How could she treat the person in front of her as a stranger? This was clearly the Sixth Prince, His Royal Highness the Wise King Xuan Tianfeng, who had not returned to Beijing for a long time and whom she had only met once! She actually treated him as a stranger and was polite to him for a long time. This was really... the flood washed away the Dragon King Temple.
She spoke again somewhat embarrassedly, and said to the Sixth Prince in front of her: "Sixth brother, please don't blame me. My memory is really not that good. I couldn't recognize you, Sixth brother."
She called him "Sixth Brother", which actually startled Fusang who was still here. Fusang knew who Feng Yuheng was very well, and naturally knew Feng Yuheng's family background very well. When she called him "Sixth Brother", Fusang immediately thought of two people, one was the Sixth Young Master of the Yao Family, Feng Yuheng's sixth cousin, and the other was the Sixth Prince of the Tian Family. She followed the Ninth Prince and called him "Sixth Brother". The Young Master of the Yao Family had been in the capital, so Feng Yuheng couldn't fail to recognize him. Only the Sixth Prince had not been in the capital for many years, so she might not recognize him. So, the person in front of him was naturally the current Sixth Prince!
Fusang was startled and quickly bowed like Wangchuan, but he also remembered what the Sixth Prince had just said. Although he said nothing, his attitude became respectful.
Feng Yuheng couldn't recognize the person, but Wang Chuan grew up in Prince Yu's Mansion, so naturally he wouldn't make a mistake. The person who came was none other than the current Sixth Prince, His Royal Highness the Virtuous Prince Xuan Tianfeng.
Seeing that Feng Yuheng finally remembered him, Xuan Tianfeng also smiled bitterly, shook his head and said to Feng Yuheng: "Don't blame me, sister-in-law. We only met once more than two years ago. I have been away from home for many years and have not returned to Beijing for a long time."
"Border affairs are very busy, and Sixth Brother has been stationed outside. He has worked really hard these years." She said some pleasantries, and then looked at the Sixth Prince who was wet, and hurriedly said, "Sixth Brother, take your people into the manor to change clothes. The weather is very cold, so don't get sick." After that, she said to Wangchuan, "Take Sixth Brother in."
Wang Chuan nodded and whispered, "Your Highness, please go to the backyard with me."
Xuan Tianfeng also knew that this was not appropriate, so he nodded, said nothing more, and followed Wangchuan with his servants. Feng Yuheng then ordered the servants in the manor to prepare warm tea and asked the doctor here to see the patient, fearing that Xuan Tianfeng would get sick again because of this matter.
Seeing that all the instructions had been given, Fusang finally breathed a sigh of relief and said to Feng Yuheng, "I was really scared to death. I didn't expect that the young man who looked like a scholar was actually the Sixth Prince. It's all thanks to you, the princess, for coming. Otherwise, I really don't know how to respond."
Feng Yuheng was also surprised, but not scared. She told Fusang, "If I hadn't come, he wouldn't have revealed his identity. You don't have to take it to heart. As for the two children, let them stay in the house for a while and drink some warm tea. When they feel better, they must find out where they live, and then send someone to their house immediately. Don't let the children sneak out on their own during the New Year. The day after tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and who knows how anxious their family will be."
Fuso nodded and asked, "Then do you want to take the two children back with you?"
"It all depends on their physical condition! If they are physically able, it's best to take them back, but if they are weak, they must be kept and taken care of. Falling into a glacier in this weather is no joke. Many symptoms will only appear later. We need to have the doctor keep a close eye on them tonight. There's an 80% chance that they will have a fever."
Fusang said, "Don't worry, Princess. I will definitely take care of it." After that, she sighed, "In fact, this is not the first time that something like this has happened. Our manor is becoming more and more famous, and there are always people who bring their children here to ask to learn medicine, but we persuade them to go back. Some in the capital are recommended to study at Baicaotang, while those from other places can only return with regret. After all, we have limited space here. Teaching medicine is one thing, and we also have to take care of orphans. We really can't take care of those children who have families. But today, those two children came here on their own, which is the first time."
Feng Yuheng had never heard of such a situation happening in Zhuangzi before, but to be honest, this was a good thing. More people had medical awareness and a desire for medical knowledge, which was exactly what she expected. But as Fusang said, the space in Zhuangzi was limited after all, and the orphans were all full, so it would be a bit difficult to keep those children with families.
But there is a solution. She thought for a moment and said to Fusang, "After the New Year, I will contact Baicaotang and ask them to send more doctors who have completed their training to teach in private schools in other provinces and counties. We can discuss with the private schools to offer such courses, or rent a venue from the school, and we can pay for it. You also need to select some people to teach nursing knowledge, and then go out to teach with the doctors. This way, more people can accept the new medical knowledge and concepts we lead, so that more people can choose to plan their future lives, and it will be easier for us to discover good medical talents."
She came up with new ideas and couldn't help but become excited. She even fantasized that one day the new medicine she founded would be able to open special schools like in the 21st century, so that all children who like to study medicine can come in and learn advanced medical technology.
The Sixth Prince Xuan Tianfeng was walking back from the backyard at this time, and just happened to see Feng Yuheng's eyes shining and his face full of spirit. He couldn't help but stop in his tracks, looking at the woman from afar, his heart pounding indescribably...
