The height of the city wall of Yanzhou City is not far behind compared with the capital, not long after leaving the town of thirty miles, you can see the black and gray color in the distance, and gradually expand in the field of vision, until it stands tall in front of you.

The people sent out to greet the Marquis of Dingbei were already waiting at the city gate, and when they saw Shen Shu and his party, they immediately greeted him: "Lord Wang, Lord Hou has something to say, please enter the mansion immediately." ”

This person is the housekeeper of the Dingbei Hou Mansion, Shen Shu has also grown up with him since he was a child, and he couldn't help but smile when he saw him: "Uncle Yin, are you here to hold me?" ”

Uncle Yin has a loyal face, but there is a long scar on his right cheek, which makes his facial features slightly displaced, and it looks a little terrifying: "The prince is serious." Hou Ye is just worried that you and the princess have worked hard all the way, and it is not too late to take a break in the mansion before saying anything else. ”

Taohua had already heard Shen Shu say that this Uncle Yin was also born and died with Lao Dingbeihou, and the scar on his face was cut by the saber of the Northern Barbarians. Today's Dingbei Hou Yin Yan regards him as a brother, and his children call him Uncle Yin, and he is not regarded as a subordinate. At this time, the people had already arrived at the front of the carriage, and Taohua asked Mint to open the curtain and smiled at him inside: "Thank you Uncle Yin." ”

"The old slave doesn't dare to be the princess's thanks." Uncle Yin didn't know if he was born with facial paralysis, or if his facial features were difficult to move after being injured by a knife, his expression was always a little stiff, "Madam has been looking forward to the prince and the princess, and she is waiting in the mansion at this time." ”

"Let's go, then." Shen Shu lightly lifted the reins, "Those medicinal herbs and lime and other things in the back, or -"

Before he had finished speaking, there was a neighing of the horse, and everyone turned their heads together, and saw the front hooves of a horse raised high, and the man who had been standing beside the horse fell backwards.

The first day of the first year was closer, and an arrow stepped over to grab the reins of the horse, and the horse was still holding a wheel, and it was quiet after a few kicks.

At this moment, Gu Cong had already run over from the car behind him, squatting down to check the person who fell to the ground: "Liu Hanlin!" ”

It was Liu Zhijing who was kicked out by the horse, sitting on the ground with one hand covering his chest and abdomen, and pressing his ankle with the other, his face full of pain.

Taohua saw it from a distance and was about to get out of the car immediately: "Don't touch him!" "Being kicked by a horse is likely to be internal bleeding, look at the part that Liu Zhijing covered is close to the spleen, the spleen is a very fragile organ in the human body, in case it is kicked and ruptured, it can't be removed here, Liu Zhijing's life will be gone!

Yanzhou City is the most prosperous place in the northwest, such a long line of people is already eye-catching, and there are people from the Hou Mansion to greet them, everyone has already looked over, and at this moment they saw a gorgeously dressed bright young woman getting out of the car, and on the spot to check the pulse of a man, they couldn't help but gather over and whisper.

There was the sharp-eyed one, and he had already seen Shen Shu: "Isn't that the fourth prince?" ”

Shen Shu came to the border at the age of eight, and at the age of fifteen, he followed the Marquis of Dingbei into the military camp, and there were many people in Yanzhou City who knew him, and he also knew some news about the capital, and immediately discussed: "Now it's time to call the prince of the county, and the emperor has made him the king of Anjun!" ”

"Yes, yes, I heard that I got married in the capital and married the princess! Hey, that can't be the princess, right? ”

"Huh? Will it be the princess? That's right, it's so good-looking—hey, it's good-looking! ”

"Shhhhhh It's really pretty, though. ”

"But how can the princess hold hands with the man lying on the ground......"

"If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense! What a handle, that's a pulse! The prince married a miracle doctor, don't you know? In the capital, I heard that there was a shrine for her. ”

"Hey, by the way, I also heard that the prince brought the princess back this time just to cure the epidemic!"

"Can it be cured? I heard that smallpox has occurred again, and smallpox has no law. ”

"Others don't have the rule of law, the divine doctor must have a way!"

"You're, too! As the saying goes, medicine does not kill diseases, and diseases like smallpox can be cured by no one except for life. How many of the miracle doctors still died of smallpox in their own family, and where did any of them be cured? ”

"You're talking nonsense! How many of the healer's family members have you seen die of smallpox? ”

The people in the northwest are fierce, and they almost started to move when they disagreed, but fortunately they were pulled away: "The prince has just come back, you guys are making trouble here, do you want to go to prison for a few days?" Hou Ye is busy these days, don't add to the chaos! ”

Only then did the two of them withdraw their hands, and one of them was still unconvinced: "You wait and see, the princess will definitely be able to cure the plague!" Don't forget, at the beginning, the Langzhong didn't know what kind of disease this was, but the princess sent a letter back from the capital to say what it was called anthrax. Now that you know what the disease is, you can cure it naturally. ”

The other one also muttered: "I'm not hoping that the princess can't cure the plague, my family still has relatives in Duzhou City, but it's just that smallpox is difficult to cure......"

The Northwest people spoke loudly, and everyone felt that they were whispering, but Taohua also vaguely heard a few words, and couldn't help but sigh secretly in her heart - she knew that everyone had great confidence in her, but she might really disappoint them this time.

"Does it hurt here?" There is no need to think about the already predestined result, Taohua reined in her mind and reached out and pressed a few places on Liu Zhijing's body.

Liu Zhijing is extremely awkward. In broad daylight, he never expected Taohua to attack him, and subconsciously dodged it, his mouth groaned, but his eyes unconsciously looked at Shen Shu.

Momoka frowned slightly. People can deceive people, but some bodily reactions can't deceive people. She pressed Liu Zhijing a few times, Liu Zhijing kept screaming in pain, but his reaction was a little strange, not a reaction of tenderness and rebound pain, but his body was very nervous all the time.

"Find a door panel, and lift him flat, and don't move it." Taohua commanded, and reached out to touch Liu Zhijing's ankle.

Liu Zhijing kept glancing at Shen Shu, and seeing that he didn't seem to have any reaction to Taohua's actions, he couldn't help but feel a little contempt in his heart - he grew up in the northwest, the land was close to the barbarians, and the atmosphere was not good, and his wife was not angry with other men for such actions.

Just as he was thinking about it, he felt a sharp pain in his ankle, and he screamed out unexpectedly. This sound is genuine, much more exciting than the reaction just now.

"My ankle is broken." Taohua's brows furrowed even tighter, "Is there a medical hall nearby?" It is necessary to straighten the bones first. ”

Liu Zhijing was covered in cold sweat, hugged his legs and was dumbfounded: "Broken, broken?" "That's not the plan!

Fifteen had already led someone to find a door panel, carefully moved Liu Zhijing up, and fixed it with a few sweat towels, and then lifted him to the nearest medical hall. Taohua frowned and stood in place thinking, Shen Shu had already taken a cloak and draped it over her shoulders: "What, he is seriously injured?" ”

"The injury doesn't seem to be serious, so I'm weird." Only then did Taohua realize that her body was about to be blown through by the cold wind. The wind at the border is cold and hard, although they are wearing fur jackets, they still can't stop the cold wind that drills at the cracks, and it is no wonder that many of the sergeants have joint wind paralysis, thinking that the clothes they wear are not as wind-resistant as hers.

"The horse is so good that it won't be surprised." Shen Shu said lightly. The horses pulling the cart are all docile geldings, and there is no sudden sound, how can the horses suddenly be frightened?

"You mean, he scared the horse himself?" Momoka groaned, "But it's dangerous, and you have to observe." There is no pain now, but the internal organs may not be damaged. "If it's bleeding in the spleen, sometimes the pain isn't severe, but the consequences are fatal.

"This is natural." Shen Shu smiled. Taohua is always like this, she has to worry about the patient's life first, and then think of other things.

"I just think he's a little suspicious. Probably since yesterday when I heard you say that it was extremely difficult to cure the epidemic, something was wrong. ”

As soon as he said this, Taohua immediately understood: "You mean, he regrets it?" ”

"I'm scared." Shen Shu said coldly, "He thought that you would be able to cure the epidemic if you came to the northwest, but even you were not sure, so he was scared and wanted to escape." "Deserter!

"Oh-," Momoka laughed too, "not only anthrax, but also smallpox, no wonder he's afraid." It's just that he actually came up with this method - he probably didn't know that if the horse kicked in a good position, it wouldn't take much force to kick him to death. ”

The spleen is a very fragile place, and a surgical colleague once said that it was like a piece of tofu, and it didn't take much effort to break it. In many cases, the impact does not cause bleeding in the spleen, not because the spleen is strong, but because the muscles and subcutaneous fat in the ribs protect it, but if the impact is in the right place, then it will really crack like a piece of tofu and ......

"Then remove it quickly, otherwise internal bleeding will soon lead to shock, although sometimes from the outside even the location of the scar is not right, and you don't even feel much pain...... "Taohua remembers that the female colleague said that they were having lunch and there was a dish of braised tofu in the lunch box. The expressions of a few young nurses who had just come to the internship immediately became exciting, so there was a lot left over from that dish that day.

"Therefore, the ignorant are fearless." Taohua sighed, "Actually, if he wants to go back and say a word, if he puts his life into it, it is better to go to the epidemic area." ”

Suddenly found that Liu Zhijing was actually thinking like this, Taohua suddenly felt so bored: "On that day, he came to Mao Sui to recommend himself, and donated fifty taels of silver, I think he is really compassionate." Let's call Imperial Doctor Gu to give him a bone, and observe it for a few more days, if there is no bleeding from his internal organs, he will be sent back, and staying here will also add to the chaos. Let's pay for the medicine, and only pay back the fifty taels of silver he donated. ”

"You're not going to give him a bone?" Shen Shu asked with a smile.

Taohua couldn't help but roll her eyes at him, and Shen Shu smiled: "That's right." "People like Liu Zhijing are really not worth Taohua's action, they have more important things to do.

"You're or- going to the epidemic area?" Dingbei Hou specially sent people to pick them up, just to prevent them from going to the epidemic area.

"I'm still going to go." Taohua sighed, "If you don't go, how can you cure the disease?" Since I am a healer, others can escape, but I can't. However, if you haven't had smallpox, don't go. ”

Shen Shu disagreed: "You are all gone, how can I not go." ”

"These are two different things." Taohua reached out and grabbed his arm, "I know how to prevent it, you can't." And you're out there, so you can do it for me. Let's go to the Hou Mansion to see my uncle and aunt first, and we need to explain the epidemic to them. ”

The husband and wife were like no one around, but everyone behind them was dumbfounded: "The prince and the princess - what a love......"

The folk customs in the northwest are open, and there are not so many rules in the capital, and there are also folk couples who walk hand in hand, but their status is as valuable as Shen Shu, and they are like ordinary couples with the princess, which really makes everyone in Yanzhou City look down on their jaws.

Dieyi muttered: "What did the prince say, so that the princess stared at him?" "Speaking of which, in the Dingbei Hou Mansion, except for the Dingbei Hou and Mrs. Hou, no one dares to look at Shen Shu with white eyes, and his cousins can't!

Cicada Yi only felt that Taohua's hand on Shen Shu's arm was extremely dazzling, and she barely suppressed the bitterness in her heart, and said lightly: "It's not our business." "Now that she has arrived in the northwest and entered the Dingbei Hou Mansion, she has her own Dingbei Hou Lady who will take care of her.

Here, Shen Shu and his party went to Dingbei Hou's Mansion, and Liu Zhijing had already been carried into the medical hall. At this time, most of the Langzhong in the northwest were called to treat the epidemic, and there were only a few miscellaneous boys left in the medical hall. Fortunately, Gu Cong is a doctor, although he always claims that he is not good at learning, one is to help cure the epidemic, and the other is to ask the princess of the county for advice, but in fact, he has his own ability, and the bones are not a problem.

Liu Zhijing was carried all the way, but he felt that there was no strong feeling at the ankle at first, but then the pain became worse and worse, and he couldn't help but panic. According to his plan, he would alarm the horse, give it a light touch, and then he could pretend to have abdominal pain.

Although he is not skilled in medicine, he also knows that the damage to internal organs is the most difficult to determine, and as long as he keeps complaining about pain, no one dares to say that he is not injured. At that time, even the princess of the county could not be diagnosed, so naturally he had to send him back to the capital - no, even if he was not sent back to the capital, as long as he could leave the northwest.

But in this plan, there is no such thing as breaking an ankle......

Those who come to the court must not only be talented and learned, but also physically healthy and good-looking, which is also the face of the court. Although I don't say that I want you to look like Pan An, you can't be a long and short foot. In case he doesn't catch his ankle well, he will walk high and low in the future - Liu Zhijing feels creepy just thinking about it, who has ever seen that the person who is going to enter the picture is a cripple?

"Brother Gu, my leg is ......" What is Gu Cong's bone grafting technique, is it reliable? What about Chiang? Why didn't Jiang come and give him a straight bone?

"Brother Liu, don't worry." Gu Cong gently pinched his injury and made sure that the bone was broken very neatly, "After taking it, it will be good to recuperate, and it will be fine." ”

Liu Zhijing was pinched into a cold sweat by him: "What about the princess?" ”

"The prince and the princess have returned to the Hou Mansion." Gu Cong motioned for him to lie down, "The medicine is boiling outside, Brother Liu will drink it for a while, and I will give you the bones." ”

"Back to the Hou Mansion?" Liu Zhijing couldn't believe it. Didn't Jiang Shi still actively check his body just now? It's just a little scrape from the horse's hooves. Now that his feet are broken, the Jiang family has gone back to the Hou Mansion instead?

"Didn't the princess say what happened to my injuries?"

Gu Cong comforted: "It's just a broken bone, Brother Liu can rest assured, nothing will hinder you after the bone." ”

Just broken bones? The bones are all broken, can it still be "that's it"? Liu Zhijing really wanted to grab Gu Cong and shake it, as the saying goes, it takes a hundred days to hurt your muscles and bones, which shows the severity of bone injuries! If he doesn't pick it up well, his future will be affected, how can Gu Cong say it so lightly, and how can Jiang Shi ignore it so much?

Gu Cong was thinking about Cai Taohua's move. His family's ancestral techniques were used to treat external injuries, such as cutting boils and carrion with knives, or even breaking arms and legs. It was only later that his skills were poor and he repeatedly missed, so he was transferred to the gynecology department.

Serving in the palace, the concubines are naturally delicate, and there will be no broken bones, but the palace maids are much rougher, and bruises and injuries occur from time to time. Gu Cong's grade is not high, and the concubines who couldn't wait for favor before, but they are willing to show the palace people to see the injury. In this way, his bone grafting skills have become proficient, and he knew that the injury was very simple when he touched Liu Zhijing's leg, so he was not worried.

What he was puzzled about was that after Liu Zhijing fell, the princess of the county did not look at his leg first, but directly pressed on him, and the first position of the press - he could see clearly that it was not the part where Liu Zhijing was kicked by the horse's hooves. At that time, the princess of the county was very nervous, could it be that the position was extremely dangerous?

Gu Cong subconsciously put his hand under his ribs and pressed it, but he didn't touch anything, but looking at the appearance of the princess of the county, it was obviously not without purpose. This location seems to be where the spleen is? When his grandfather taught him to study medicine, he said that the five internal organs reside in the abdomen, and they only know the general situation but do not know the specifics, and they cannot be seen or touched, so the injuries of the five internal organs are even more difficult to treat. But the princess of the county seems to be very familiar with this, and every time she presses it, she is confident, not a temptation.

But what about the spleen? Gu Cong fell into deep thought. It wasn't until the young man from the pharmacy outside brought in the decoction that he came back to his senses: "Brother Liu, drink the medicine, I'll give you bones." ”

Liu Zhijing drank the medicine nervously, and slowly became confused. He was still worried when he fell asleep, what if his leg was not connected? This trip really shouldn't have come to the northwest, it was Jiang Yanhua, a woman, who lied about the military situation, and it was simply Laikefu......

When Liu Zhijing was complaining in his sleep, Taohua and Shen Shu had already arrived at the Dingbei Hou Mansion.

Along the way, although there is an epidemic in the northwest, Yanzhou City is still prosperous and stable. The Dingbei Hou Mansion is in the north of the city, and it looks far less gorgeous than the Gonghou Mansion in the capital, but it covers a very vast area.

"There's a martial arts arena behind us, it's bigger than that." Shen Shuze approached the carriage and said with a smile, "Uncle took me and my cousin and cousin to practice martial arts over there when we were young. ”

"Cousin?" Taohua expressed her admiration, "Do even girls in Dingbei Houfu learn martial arts?" "This can be regarded as a soldier for the whole family, and it really deserves to be a family of military generals!

"Cousin!" A crisp voice interrupted the conversation between the husband and wife, and a cyan shadow ran out of the hanging flower door in front of him, followed by two chubby boys, who rushed to Shen Shuma together, and called out to his cousin.

Momoka smiled and watched from the carriage. The girl in Tsing Yi who came out in front of her was tall, fourteen or fifteen years old, her complexion was slightly dark, her slightly round face was embedded with a pair of apricot eyes, and a row of glutinous rice white teeth was revealed when she smiled. The two boys at the back were both seven or eight years old, almost identical, and both had round and large eyes. Just by looking at this, you know that they are really a family.

Shen Shuzao turned over and dismounted, and hugged one of the two boys in one hand and sandwiched it under his ribs: "You two, why don't you study in the study at this time?" ”

The two boys stretched out their hands and kicked their feet, like two little turtles being restrained, and said in unison: "Let's pick up my cousin, let us down!" ”

Taohua looked funny, and was about to get out of the car, Shen Shu had already turned to her and said, "There is still a way from here to inside, don't get out of the car yet." This is my cousin Yin Ru, the pearl of my uncle and aunt. Ru'er, you also get in the car and go with your cousin. It's so cold today, why do you come out without even wearing a cloak? What about the people who follow you? ”

At this moment, a maid panted and ran out with a cloak: "Girl, second young master, third young master!" Young Master Cousin—"

Shen Shu was a little helpless: "Baoxing, take a good look at your girl." ”

Bao Xing's face was flushed, and she looked bitter: "Young master, the slave and maid really can't outrun the girl...... she has only been brought up to serve Yin Ru in recent years, and she has not yet developed a pair of fast legs, and she is left behind by the girl every time.

Yin Ru put the cloak on her body and said with a smile: "Just a few steps, I'm not a delicate lady in a high-ranking family, where will I die of cold?" After that, his eyes moved to the carriage and smiled at Taohua, "Is my cousin cold?" ”

Taohua smiled slightly: "The northwest is colder than the capital, do you want to get in the car and sit?" ”

"No, you don't." Yin Ru flicked her cloak, "It's not a cold day yet." If my cousin-in-law is too cold now, she won't be able to live in a few days. ”

Taohua had already hugged the two boys on the back of Xiao Hei's horse, took the reins and walked inside, and when she heard the words, she said: "Your cousin-in-law is from Jiangnan, so she is naturally a little unaccustomed to coming to the northwest for the first time. ”

Yin Ru grimaced at him, turned around and climbed into the carriage, sat on the carriage and asked Taohua with a smile: "I heard that Jiangnan is prosperous, why is my cousin willing to follow my cousin to this bitter cold place in our northwest?" ”

Taohua glanced at the little girl with a little inquiry. These words sound innocent, but she feels that she has a tricky spirit, I don't know if she has too much heart, or something else.

To be honest, Taohua doesn't dare to underestimate these thirteen or fourteen-year-old half-grown children now. In the previous life, a child of this age is still in junior high school, even if he wants to do something bad, he will go straight to it. But in this era, the thirteenth and fourteenth can already be prepared to get married, and they can no longer be regarded as children, and there are really a lot of eyes. Just said this sentence just now, it really made her difficult to answer.

"The northwest is also the prince's home, since I have become a relative to the prince, of course I have to follow him."
