Feng Yu Heng entered the courtyard surrounded by a group of children. Wang Chuan brought people to move the things out of the carriage and brought the children to the courtyard. At this time, Fusang pointed to a group of people standing in the middle of the courtyard, especially the two children kneeling on the ground, and said: "Junzhu, look, these are two children who fell into the water and were rescued. They must be begging the village to accept them."
Feng Yu Heng asked Fusang, "Are they orphans?"
Fusang shook her head and said: "It's because they are not orphans that they are worried."
"Not orphans?" Feng Yu Heng was puzzled. She took a few steps forward, but her eyes fell on the people standing next to the two children. In particular, there was a young master who was also dripping wet. Although he was in a sorry state, she could still see the elegance of an elegant young master. She only felt that this person was familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen him before. That person seemed to want to talk to her, but the two children kneeling in front of him began to cry and beg again. He took the initiative to take two steps back with his servants and made a gesture to Feng Yu Heng. Feng Yu Heng nodded politely at him, and then asked the two 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, and while speaking, she went forward and grabbed the two children's wrists to take their pulse. In the winter, their bodies were wet, and it was obvious that they were fished out of the water. Kneeling on the ground like this, it would be strange if they didn't catch a cold.
The two children saw that she was acting like their master, and didn't care if Feng Yu Heng was taking their pulse. One of them hurriedly said: "Please take us in. We know that this is an orphanage, but we also heard that this place teaches people medical skills, and it is very advanced medical skills. Our mother is seriously ill. Our family's money has been used up to treat our mother's illness. We don't have any more money to treat her. Please take us in and teach us medical skills. Just let us cure our mother. We can work for the village. My brother and I are already seven years old, and we can do a lot of work. In the future, when we grow up and earn money, we will send it here to repay. We won't eat and live for free. I beg you! "
The child spoke while kowtowing once more. Feng Yu Heng gestured for Tian Dong and Fu Sang to quickly stop them. She then put down their wrists and said: "Your bodies are weak, and a large amount of cold air has invaded your bodies. It seems that you fell into the water, right? Fortunately, I came ashore early. If I had stayed in the water for a while longer, I'm afraid I would have lost half my life. "
Only then did Tian Dong say, "These two children came from the other side of the river. A section of the river was frozen, and in order to take a shortcut, they took the risk of walking over the ice. However, I didn't expect that the ice wasn't solid enough. When I walked to the middle, a hole opened up and swallowed the two children. " After she finished speaking, she looked at the young master standing to the side and said, "Fortunately, we met this kind young master who was passing by with his followers. When he saw the two children fall into the river, he quickly rescued them. Otherwise, these two children would have met with disaster."
Tian Dong started the conversation, and the young master finally spoke up, "These two children's bodies are still quite healthy. After they came ashore, they were able to speak. They said that they wanted to come to the other side of the river to seek shelter in a village that specializes in teaching medicine. I thought that this should be the place, so I took the initiative to bring them here."
Feng Yu Heng smiled and nodded. She said to the young master, "Many thanks. No matter what, it's still two lives. Young master was kind enough to save them, and Heng is grateful."
"Heng Heng …" The young master pondered for a moment, then smiled faintly. He looked at Feng Yu Heng and didn't say another word.
The more Feng Yu Heng looked at this person, the more familiar he seemed. However, she just couldn't remember where she had seen him before. At this time, the two kneeling children were already trembling, but they still stubbornly grabbed onto Feng Yu Heng's cloak and begged for mercy. Feng Yu Heng was helpless. She could only say to Tian Dong, "Make arrangements for them first. No matter what, they have to get rid of the cold and recover their bodies first." After she finished speaking, she looked at the two children and said, "It's not that I've decided to keep you here, but your bodies don't allow you to walk around outside. Stay here for now, and we'll talk about this later."
The two children nodded. They knew that no matter how much they begged, it would be useless. Moreover, they were already freezing to the point of death. If they continued to kneel, they would probably die on the spot. As such, they didn't refuse. They resigned themselves to Tian Dong's request and allowed the servants to carry them into the house.
At this time, Wang Chuan had also handed over the task of distributing the gifts to the servants in the manor. She then jogged over to Feng Yu Heng's side. When she saw the man covered in water, she hurriedly bowed in greeting, "This servant, Wang Chuan, greets …"
"Miss, there's no need to be so courteous." Before Wang Chuan could finish speaking, the man hurriedly spoke up to stop her. At the same time, he stepped forward to support Wang Chuan's half-bent body. He then shook his head and said in a low voice, "Since we're outside, there's no need for such formalities."
When he said this, coupled with Wang Chuan's salute, Feng Yu Heng immediately remembered. She couldn't help but raise her hand to slap her forehead. She only thought that her memory was really bad. How could she have treated this person in front of her as a stranger? This was clearly the Sixth Prince, the Xian Prince, Xuan Tianfeng, who hadn't returned to the capital for a long time. She actually treated him as a stranger and was polite to him for half a day. This was really … a flood rushing against the Dragon King's temple.
She was a little embarrassed as she spoke again. Facing the Sixth Prince in front of her, she said, "Sixth Brother, please don't blame me. My memory really isn't that good. I actually wasn't able to recognize the Sixth Brother."
When she called out to the Sixth Brother, it gave Fu Sang, who was still there, a fright. Fu Sang was all too clear about what kind of person Feng Yu Heng was. Naturally, she was also very clear about Feng Yu Heng's family background. When she called out to the Sixth Brother, Fu Sang instantly thought of two people. One was the Yao Family's Sixth Young Master, Feng Yu Heng's Sixth Cousin, and the other was the Imperial Family's Sixth Prince. She followed His Ninth Highness and called out to the Sixth Brother. The Yao Family's Young Master had always been in the capital. It was impossible for Feng Yu Heng to not recognize him. Only the Sixth Prince was not in the capital all year round and might not be able to recognize him. In that case, the person in front of her was naturally the current Sixth Prince!
Fu Sang quivered and quickly followed Wang Chuan in saluting. However, she also remembered the Sixth Prince's words. Although she didn't say anything, her attitude became respectful.
Feng Yu Heng couldn't recognize this person. Wang Chuan grew up in the Imperial Palace Yu, so he naturally wouldn't be mistaken. The person who came was the current Sixth Prince, His Highness Xian Wang Xuan Tianfeng.
Seeing that Feng Yu Heng finally remembered him, Xuan Tianfeng bitterly smiled. He shook his head and said to Feng Yu Heng, "It's not Sister-in-law's fault. We only met once more two years ago. I've been away for many years and haven't returned to the capital for a long time."
"You've been busy at the border. Sixth Brother has been stationed outside. It's been hard on you these past few years." She accompanied him in exchanging pleasantries. Looking at the soaked Sixth Prince, she hurriedly said, "Sixth Brother, quickly bring your people into the manor to change their clothes. The weather is bitterly cold. You must not fall sick." After saying this, she turned to Wang Chuan and said, "You bring the Sixth Brother inside."
Wang Chuan nodded and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, follow this servant to the rear courtyard."
Xuan Tianfeng also knew that his clothes were inappropriate. Thus, he nodded and didn't say anything else. He brought his servants and followed Wang Chuan. Only then did Feng Yu Heng order the servants in the manor to prepare warm tea. She also had the doctor examine Xuan Tianfeng. She was afraid that he would fall sick again because of this matter.
Seeing that all the necessary instructions had been given, Fusang let out a sigh of relief. She said to Feng Yu Heng, "This servant was really scared to death. I didn't expect that scholarly looking young master to actually be His Highness the Sixth Prince. It's all thanks to Your Highness's arrival. Otherwise, this servant really wouldn't know what to do. "
Feng Yu Heng was also surprised, but she wasn't afraid. She told Fusang, "If I didn't come, he probably wouldn't have revealed his identity. You don't have to worry about this. As for the two children, let them rest in their room for a while and drink some warm tea. When they feel better, they must ask where they live. Then, immediately send someone to their home. It's the New Year's Eve. I don't want the children to sneak out on their own. The day after tomorrow is New Year's Eve. Who knows how anxious their families will be. "
Fusang nodded and asked, "Should we bring the two children back with us?"
"It depends on the condition of their bodies! If their bodies allow it, it's best to bring them back. But if their bodies are weak, they must be left behind to recuperate. Falling into the ice river in this kind of weather isn't a joke. Many of the symptoms will be made up for later. Tonight, we must have the doctor keep a close eye on them. There's an 80% chance that they'll have a fever. "
Fusang said, "Don't worry, Your Highness. This servant will definitely take care of it." After saying this, she sighed, "Actually, this isn't the first time something like this has happened. Our country residence is becoming more and more famous. There will always be people bringing their children over to ask to learn medicine. We've persuaded them all to go back. Some of the children in the capital were recommended to learn at Hundred Herb Hall. Those who weren't from the capital could only return regretfully. After all, we have limited space here. Teaching medicine is one thing, but we also have to take care of orphans. Those children who have families really can't take care of them all. But today, those two children ran over on their own. This is the first time. "
This was the first time that Feng Yu Heng had heard of this sort of situation happening in the residence, but to speak from the bottom of her heart, this was a good thing. More people were becoming aware of medicine, and they had a desire for medical knowledge. This was something that she was looking forward to. But just as Fusang said, there was limited space in the country residence. The orphans were all full, so it would be a bit difficult to keep those children who had families.
However, it wasn't as if there was no solution. She thought about it and said to Fu Sang, "After the new year, I will talk to Hundred Herb Hall and ask them to send more doctors who have completed their studies to the private schools outside the province to give lectures. We can discuss with the private schools about setting up these kinds of courses, or we can rent a place from the school. We can also pay some money for it. You should also pick some people from your side. They will mainly teach nursing knowledge. When the time comes, they will go out and give lectures together with the doctors. This way, more people can accept the new medical knowledge and concepts that we lead. More people will have the choice to plan their future lives. It will be easier for us to find good medical talents. "
She thought of a new idea and couldn't help but be in high spirits. She even fantasized that one day, the new medicine that she created would be like the one in the twenty-first century, opening a special school so that all children who liked to study medicine could sit in and learn advanced medical skills.
The Sixth Prince, Xuan Tianfeng, was walking back from the backyard at this time. He just happened to see Feng Yu Heng's eyes shining brightly as she spoke. Her face was full of spirit. He couldn't help but stop in his tracks. Looking at the woman from afar, his heart couldn't help but beat faster …
