The head of the Mu family

Chapter 28: Seize the Opportunity You Earn Through Hard Work

When Lord Hou and his group left, Li Rongchuan's wounds no longer needed bandaging.

Crush the herbs daily, add a little aloe vera, and apply it to the affected area.

Just make sure the scabs heal quickly.

The first month of the lunar calendar has passed in the blink of an eye.

Li Rongchuan had fully recovered. After more than half a month of recuperation, he finally regained his former elegance as a young nobleman when he passed away.

A woman's soul, anxiously pacing back and forth within Wuya's small body:

Such fine young men, and the one who rode a horse to pick them up last time, are only good for looking at!

How can I get one?!

Urgent! Need help online!

The noblewoman saw that he was going by carriage this time.

The cart was filled with food and supplies, including wound medicine, cold medicine, and insect repellent powder, all of which were scarce at the border.

Just as Li Rongchuan was preparing to depart, an urgent report arrived:

The old emperor, who had been burning the lamp oil to burn it out, was now exhausted!

The crown prince will soon ascend the throne, so Li Rongchuan hurriedly set off for the border.

The people of the Marquis's mansion will soon be setting off back to the capital.

The women of the Marquis's household were to return to the capital to oversee the inner quarters.

The noblewoman used to live here so that the Marquis could quickly return by horse to meet her when he had a few days off.

Therefore, for safety reasons, apart from the three highest-ranking officials, no one in Panlong County knew that this was the Marquis's residence.

There are usually quite a few guards in the manor, and everyone in the manor keeps a low profile.

I have to go back to the capital this time, and wait for the situation to stabilize before returning to Panlong County.

The noblewoman looked at Li Jingtang, who was swaying but could now stand.

And two increasingly energetic mothers.

Looking at his own rosy complexion in the mirror, he was filled with emotion.

So, they found Shen Huai, who was packing his things:

"Wu Ya~ Could you please come with us to the capital?"

Shen Huai was filled with question marks:

???

With your family's strength, would you even need me in Yedu?

I have experience with women and children from my previous life, and after coming here, I diligently study medical books and make house calls.

That's how I was able to shine in the Marquis's mansion for a while.

This world gives hard-working people a chance!

Women of this era were appendages of powerful men and commodities in the homes of the poor.

In medicine, the focus is on treating illness.

However, none of the male doctors I've seen so far have considered the root cause of a woman's illness in order to improve her health.

This concept did not exist in feudal patriarchal societies.

As for medicine, I don't know how much I've learned yet; I'm only at the beginner level in acupuncture.

There are so many top talents in Beijing, what could I possibly do there?

So he politely declined:

"Madam, my medical knowledge is actually quite limited."

As you know, I've been learning while making house calls.

I am fortunate to have been able to help you and your son recover your health.

This was also due to the fact that there were more women on the house calls, which allowed me to accumulate more experience.

Regarding your and your son's health maintenance, the renowned doctors in the capital know far more than I do.

Those are beings we doctors look up to.

I only regret that I didn't have the opportunity to learn from those medical masters.

You have always treated me very well, and I am very willing to continue to provide care for you and the young master.

Even if you go to the capital, I will not go back to my hometown.

I promised Master Qian I would provide consultations there, but the compensation there isn't as high as what you offer.

If I didn't genuinely feel that you didn't need me, I would have shamelessly gone with you.

That's Yedu, and I secretly want to go and see it for myself~

"In that case, come with us to the capital, and when we arrive in Yedu, the monthly payment will double to twenty taels of gold."

My father-in-law and father were both close friends and acquaintances of the head of the Imperial Medical Academy.

"If you go, as long as the head of the academy is on duty, you can study with him for half a day each day, how about that?"

Shen Huai almost suffered a brain hemorrhage:

what?

Who do I study with for half a day every day?

The Imperial Academy Headmaster! That's equivalent to someone who studies classical Chinese learning under the Crown Prince's tutor!

Shen Huai nodded mechanically, using the last vestiges of his reason to say:

"Madam, the monthly allowance doesn't need to be doubled, or you can have it for free..."

Upon hearing this, the noblewoman realized that the child had been overwhelmed by the temptation posed by the headmaster.

Seeing Shen Huai's reaction, he was overjoyed:

I've known this kid since he was born; he's always been so calm and collected.

She was shocked when she first saw her uncle's wound last time, but she remained calm and composed.

The first time I saw him looking so lost was because of what I had said, and I was even a little smug.

Seeing that Shen Huai's spirit seemed incomplete, the noblewoman offered a reminder:

"Little Wuya, do you want to go to Jishetang and tell Master Qian to send a message back to your hometown?"

Hearing this, Shen Huai finally came to his senses.

"Oh, oh, oh, right, right, right~"

I was so happy just now, hehe~

Seeing that she was finally back to normal, the wealthy woman agreed to go with her.

He went to check with a smile how things were going in other places.

Shen Huai packed the acupuncture medical book and two models into a bundle, preparing to send them to Jishetang.

I'll also mention to Dr. Qian about my trip to the capital.

When the young master saw Wu Ya carrying a bundle, he immediately became anxious:

"Sister, don't leave!"

Sister, don't go!

After a child turns one year old, they really change every day and they clearly know how to express themselves.

"My little master, be good~"

"Sister Wuya isn't leaving; Madam has already spoken to her about it."

Xianglan immediately coaxed.

"My dear young master~"

I'm not leaving. I'm just giving something to an old man, and I'll be back in a bit.

Tomorrow we'll set off together to your other home.

"Me too! Me too!"

As she spoke, baby Li Jingtang was about to cry.

Looking at the increasingly chubby and adorable baby, Shen Huai's heart softened:

"Then go and tell Madam that if your mother agrees, we can go together, okay?"

Xianglan, carrying the young master, went with Shen Huai to find the madam.

The noblewoman immediately arranged for a carriage to take them there.

Shen Huai bid farewell to Doctor Qian and his family, and asked Doctor Qian to pass on a message to Doctor Gao, asking his master to take good care of the four girls in the family.

Also, there's no need to tell Wu Ya's parents about my trip to Kyoto.

Dr. Qian was used to seeing all sorts of family dramas, and when he heard about the five daughters and one son, and the letter from Shen Huai, he roughly knew why.

Without asking why, he simply promised to deliver the message and put the child at ease.

After saying goodbye, Shen Huai realized it was almost time for dinner, so he took the young master back home.

The next day, a dozen or so carriages, along with some guards on horseback, set off in a grand procession.

They traveled during the day and stayed at official post stations at night.

Xiao Jingtang coughed a little on the way, but Shen Huai didn't give her any medicine.

Let him eat pears by himself whenever he has free time.

If you're thirsty, remove the tough outer layer of the orange.

Give him orange pulp with the white part of the peel on it.

Sure enough, the cough stopped within two days.

Shen Huai gave the children another episode of a Tang Dynasty-themed murder mystery game, and said directly that he wouldn't give them the answers.

Several children sat in a carriage and played for many days, but they still couldn't solve the mystery.

The other parents rode in a carriage and were happy to have some peace and quiet.

The journey was leisurely, and it took more than ten days.

On this day, the group arrived in the mountainous area and clearly felt that the guards along the way had become more vigilant.

Everyone got up and set off early in the morning, and their driving speed was noticeably faster.

The noblewoman changed into men's clothing and rode her horse with a dashing air.

She followed beside her parents' carriage, occasionally exchanging a few words with her father.

Along the tree-lined mountain road, the sounds of animals could be heard from time to time.

The children were extremely excited.

There was no rest at noon; they simply slowed down and everyone ate their meal in the carriage.

The sun was setting in the west, and I wonder if the animals were hungry and came out to forage for food.

The sounds of animals coming from the mountain are becoming more and more frequent.

The lady ordered the car to speed up.

The noblewoman's father, Grand Tutor Peng, and the old Marquis also changed horses and rode alongside her.

Grand Tutor Peng made some kind of gesture.

All the guards protecting the carriage quickly took out a heavy bundle from their bags and tied it to their chests.

The sun was about to set, and the convoy was about to leave the mountains.

Suddenly I saw some people in the distance, who had set up roadblocks in front of me.
