Although He Youyou is not a sports champion, she often practices running, yoga, and swimming, so she is not the kind of sports novice who is uncoordinated.
Moreover, she has a stable and strong mental fortitude, and she doesn't panic no matter what happens.
Once on the carriage, he remained calm and quickly mastered the knack of driving the horses.
Han Wenzheng stood to the side, clapping his hands happily and jumping around to cheer for He Youyou.
As Zhao Changqing watched this scene, the same question resurfaced in his mind.
Did I have the same joy as him back then?
He knew the answer perfectly well.
Of course not.
As an adopted son of the Han family, he experienced only loneliness, helplessness, and sorrow over the past ten years, but never joy.
Jealous?
He didn't want to admit it.
But I always feel a pang of sadness and unease in my heart.
Just after He Youyou drove the carriage seven or eight times, dust suddenly rose at the end of the road.
Zhao Changqing and the others looked toward the dust cloud and saw a jumble of figures and horses' hooves.
As they drew closer, the group recognized that it was indeed Zuo Ming, the Left Guard, leading his entourage back.
Early this morning, following Zhao Changqing's orders, Zuo Ming led several men on horseback to a nearby town to purchase grain.
They should be back by now, having finished their purchase.
Sure enough, behind those men's horses was a flatbed cart, which was fully loaded with grain and other supplies.
After the flatbed truck, there was another flatbed truck, carrying one person.
"What happened?"
As the head steward of the Han family, Qian, the housekeeper, always kept a close eye on everything around him.
Seeing the people on the flatbed truck at that moment, I immediately had a bad feeling.
This person appears to be injured.
Left Guard Zuo Ming jumped off his horse, quickly ran two steps, and came to Zhao Changqing.
"Master, Xiao Wu is injured."
Zhao Changqing frowned: "How did you get injured?"
"We rode back from the market, with Xiao Wu's horse leading the way. As we passed through a grove of wild trees, a fox suddenly darted out, startling the horse. Xiao Wu lost his grip and was thrown from its back."
Butler Qian interjected from the side, "Have you seen a doctor yet?"
"We found a village doctor in a nearby village, and he applied medicine to the external wound, but..."
At this point, Zuo Ming's eyes flickered, and he stammered, unable to continue.
"But what?" Zhao Changqing urged.
"...But the doctor said that Xiao Wu's injury might have internal bleeding. He can only treat external injuries, not internal ones."
Zhao Changqing pondered for a moment and said, "First, carry the person inside, then invite a good doctor over."
While they were talking, He Youyou had already walked over.
I happened to overhear what they were saying.
As the lady of the house, it's not right for her to stand idly by.
Zhao Changqing's entourage were all arranged to sleep in shared dormitories at night, but since there was a sick person present, they naturally received preferential treatment.
"Old Qian, lead them to carry the patient to the wing room in the front yard."
Several attendants immediately came up to lift the person, and they carefully carried the patient into the courtyard.
After the person was taken away, Old Qian found a guard who knew the local people and asked him to ride a horse to the neighboring village to invite that highly respected and skilled old doctor.
“It’s not good to carry people on horseback, especially the elderly. Let the coachman take him in the carriage,” He Youyou said.
"Yes, yes, I'm getting senile. We should definitely go by carriage."
The carriage is ready; it's already harnessed and waiting at the door, ready to leave immediately.
The patient's condition was complicated, and the nurse dared not delay for a moment. She immediately jumped into the carriage and told the driver to urge the horse to head towards the neighboring village.
At this moment, the crowd gathered at the gate also got busy.
The large truckload of grain, various meats, and vegetables that Zuo Ming and his team bought were waiting for them to unload and move into the kitchen.
Seeing that Steward Qian had already gone to attend to the patients, He Youyou took charge herself, moving grain into the storeroom, vegetables into the cellar, and meat directly to the wall outside the kitchen.
In Jizhou, the outdoor temperature in the cold winter can freeze meat directly, making it a natural refrigerator.
After giving her instructions, He Youyou saw Han Wenzheng still standing outside and quickly told him to go back to his studies.
Han Wenzheng still has some childlike qualities. He had a great time learning to drive outside and was shouting that it was so much fun.
However, he understood the importance of studying hard even more.
There were no complaints at the time, and I went without hesitation.
In his own room, there were still several sets of questions that the housekeeper had given him that he hadn't done.
After finishing her work, He Youyou thought she should go and take a look at the front, so she moved to the front courtyard room.
The person who went to fetch the doctor has not yet returned.
“Mistress, that old doctor lives quite far away, and it will probably take him at least another half hour to get back.”
He Youyou glanced at the bed.
Xiao Wu lay on the bed with his eyes closed, his face already somewhat pale, and his brows furrowed in worry.
The wound had been bandaged, but blood was still seeping out, staining the white bandage red.
The situation doesn't look good.
"Oh dear! This medicine isn't working; it doesn't stop the bleeding. If it were the medicine from our camp, it would stop the bleeding immediately."
Zuo Ming frowned and muttered to himself.
He Youyou took two steps closer to the bed: "I'll try."
Everyone in the room looked at her in surprise upon hearing this.
Zhao Changqing said coldly, "Don't be ridiculous. Just wait for the doctor to come."
He Youyou shook the small bottle in her hand: "I have medicine, a family secret recipe. Just let me try it, I promise I won't kill him."
Zhao Changqing: Believe it or not, I can kill you?
The housekeeper and He Youyou spent a relatively long time together.
