Chapter 57: The Reward from the Princess's Mansion

Shangguan's brows twisted into a knot, and he said in a cold voice, "Doctor Feng would rather die than bend. She would rather lose her life than lose her dignity. How could her descendants be willing to be someone's concubine?"

After a pause, he continued, "Don't even mention being a concubine, I can't even be the wife of this bastard. You and I know what kind of person Ruyu is. She hangs out with the Xue family's fourth son, the Jiang family's second son, and those idle playboys.

"He is playful and fickle. He is still like a child even at his age. He likes to visit brothels and theaters. He can't be loyal to girls. The little girl from the Feng family is not suitable for him."

Princess Yanghe looked at her husband deeply. They had been married for 21 years, and they were a loving couple. They were the model of the royal family in the eyes of the emperor and the empress dowager. This was the first time her husband had spoken so frankly to her...

She couldn't object any more, "Your Highness is right, let's think of other ways to deal with the aftermath."

Then he said to Shangguan Ruyu, "You also said that two generations of the Feng family have been indebted to you. For the sake of the little girl, you should let go and let her go. Sometimes, being too stubborn can also hurt..."

Shangguan Ruyu lowered her head. He wanted to marry her. Was that harming her?
-

The night swallowed up the last ray of afterglow, and a few cold stars dotted the sky.

Feng Buji was worried about his sister, so he stood at the entrance of the alley with his big head and looked around.

Aunt Wang took out a large cotton-padded jacket and put it on him, "Don't worry, young master. The girl is trying to save someone, and the Wen family won't make things difficult for her."

Feng Buji pouted and said, "Yes, sister is obviously saving people, but it is more worrying than beating people."

The sound of horse hooves came from far away.

The carriage stopped and Feng Chuchen got off.

Feng Buji came forward with his big head, "Sister, why did you come back just now? I was so worried."

Feng Chuchen took a few quick steps, held Feng Buji's face with both hands and said, "The night wind is cold, why are you standing in the wind?"

"Did Mrs. Wen blame her sister?"

"Tell me when I get home."

The brother and sister walked home hand in hand, with Big Head following behind with his tail wagging.

Seeing that the brother and sister were getting along well, Aunt Wang smiled and called out repeatedly, "Banxia, Shaoyao, the girl is back, set the table."

Several people were eating around the table in a relaxed atmosphere, and no one mentioned Feng Chuchen saving Shangguan Ruyu tacitly.

After dinner, Feng Chuchen and Feng Buji walked and talked in the courtyard hand in hand.

The evening breeze is cool and the night sky is clear.

The shadows of the trees swayed in the moonlight, and two shadows, one long and one short, moved.

The sounds of neighbors laughing and talking could be heard from time to time.

Feng Chuchen whispered about the Wen family's test, but concealed Wen Shu's illness. She said it to let Feng Buji see the selfishness and narrow-mindedness of human nature.

She had obviously saved the future son-in-law of the Wen family, and before that she had saved the grandson of the Wen family and cured the illness of the eldest daughter-in-law, but they judged her with a mean heart. If she really had that intention, the Wen family would definitely find a way to deal with her.

However, she still had to try her best to cure Wen Shu's illness. Not only because she had promised the Wen family, but also because she knew Wen Shu's secret. If she couldn't cure him, she would have a hard time getting away.

Once this matter is over, stay away from them.

Feng Buji stood up, looked up at his sister and said, "Sister, you should use your brain when doing things in the future. Look, you just wanted to save a life, but so many things happened to you."

His eyes are like the stars in the sky, bright and shining, yet deep like a little adult.

Feng Chuchen's heart was as gentle as the falling moonlight. The little person was so worried about him and knew so much.

She said sincerely, "Listen to your brother and use your brain more."

Feng Buji nodded with satisfaction, "I heard from Aunt Wang that it is better for a girl to get married unless she has nowhere else to go. Don't be discouraged, sister. You will find a good family in two years."

"Yeah, I think so too."

Feng Chuchen readily agreed, thinking that he would have some peace and quiet in the next two years.

The next morning, Feng Chuchen and his friends got up early and had breakfast. Uncle Li came to pick them up in a ox cart.

Uncle Li lives in the alley ahead and makes money by pulling a rickshaw.

We need to move eight potted plants back to the old house today, so Aunt Wang hired this slightly larger ox cart last night.

Uncle Li is in his thirties, and there is a hint of meaning in his eyes when he looks at Feng Chuchen, which he cannot hide.

He was a coachman and was more informed, so he must have heard about the incident.

Feng Chuchen was angry inside but pretended not to see it.

The entrance of the old house is still very lively.

Feng Chuchen said hello and went straight home, while Feng Buji stopped to chat and laugh with the craftsmen.

He also gave each craftsman two pieces of dessert, "We bought this at Baohezhai, it's very sweet."

The craftsmen thanked with a smile, but were reluctant to eat the food. Instead, they took it home to give to their parents or children.

I placed the potted plants in the yard, and planted a sweet-scented osmanthus sapling and several plum saplings in the ground. Two pots of forsythia were in full bloom, and the bare courtyard instantly became colorful.

Feng Chuchen thought that his aunt must like this change in the family.

She asked Aunt Wang to go to Zhao Lizheng's house, deliver a bag of snacks, and also talk about her desire to buy the two acres of land around the yard.

I'll expand the yard when I have money in the future.

This is the permanent home of her aunt, parents, her and her younger brother, and it must be built.

When Zhao Lizheng heard that Feng Chuchen wanted to expand the yard, he was very happy and promised repeatedly.

The night was as dark as ink and Baima Village was silent.

Suddenly, there was a loud slamming of the Feng family's courtyard door, and Big Head shouted at the top of his voice.

Big Head is big and has a rough voice, which sounds very scary.

The villagers knew without any guessing that it must be someone's woman who was giving birth and asked Wang Wenpo to deliver the baby.

Aunt Wang ran out and asked through the gate, "Who?"

A man's voice came from outside the door, "Aunt Wang, I'm Liu Ergou from Xiaowa Village, and I'm Guo Dani's neighbor. My wife has been trying to give birth since yesterday morning and she's dying. Please go and help her."

"Oh, wait a minute."

Aunt Wang shouted again, "Peony, get up and help me deliver the baby."

Shaoyao and Liu Ergou were from the same village and were very familiar with each other, so she quickly climbed up.

Because it was the middle of the night and they had to walk on a mountain road, they brought Datou with them as well.

Banxia got up and locked the gate after they left.

The next morning, Feng Chuchen was pounding medicine in the hut.

She prescribed endocrine regulating medicine for Grandma Hu, and also asked her to take pigmentation-eliminating and skin-whitening medicine.

Grind the herbs into powder so that the ingredients cannot be seen.

At noon, the courtyard gate rang.

Feng Buji ran out to open the door.

He opened the door, bowed, and then shouted at the top of his voice, "Sister, Lord Guo from Princess Yanghe's residence is here."

Lord Guo was the official of the Yanghe Princess's residence. He had come to the house to pay respect to Doctor Feng before, and several people in the Feng family knew him. Lord Guo came in with a eunuch holding a whisk, but he did not enter the house, but stood in the yard.

Feng Chuchen came out and bowed his knees, smiling, "Master Guo."

The head of the Guo family bowed and smiled, "Thank you, Miss Feng, for saving my son." He pointed to the eunuch beside him and said, "This is the eunuch Li who serves the princess."

Feng Chuchen bent his knees again and smiled, "Eunuch Li."

Eunuch Li stepped forward and said loudly, "Princess Yanghe has given an oral order."

Feng Chuchen, his sister and brother, and Banxia quickly knelt down.

Eunuch Li sang, "Miss Feng is an expert in medicine and kindhearted, worthy of being the heir of the mother of a thousand infants. When my son was in danger, she came to his rescue at the very moment, and I will always remember this.

"Today I reward you with some brocade jewelry. I hope you will inherit Doctor Feng's legacy, do more good deeds and save lives, keep up the good work, and bring happiness to your family."

Feng Chuchen and Feng Buxiao said in unison, "Thank you, Princess."

Feng Buji's voice is louder than Feng Chuchen's.

He was so excited. Deyang and the eldest princess valued him. With this commendation and wealth, his sister would not have to wait for several years to marry into a good family.

Feng Chuchen was also happy, as this way some bad influences could be eliminated.

Several maids came in holding eight pieces of satin and four brocade boxes. Feng Chuchen took them to the east room and put them on the kang.

Feng Buji invited Guo Jialing and Eunuch Li to sit in the main room.

Guo Jialing and Eunuch Li sat on both sides of the eight-immortals table respectively, while Feng Chuchen and his sister sat on chairs on the left and right sides respectively.

After serving the tea, Banxia stepped back and asked the maid who had been given the reward to go to the side room to have a rest and drink tea.

Guo Jialing smiled and said, "Her Royal Highness the Princess and the Prince Consort were shocked when they heard what happened to the Second Master. Fortunately, we met Miss Feng, and my Second Master was safe and sound."

Feng Chuchen said, "That's a method I came up with by accident. For people who can't breathe because their throats are blocked, patting their backs won't work. The best way to rescue them is to wrap your arms around the patient and place your fists above the patient's belly button.

"It forms a siege force, violently hitting the upper abdomen. The lower part of the two lungs is compressed, and the abdomen is impacted again, generating upward pressure, which drives the residual gas in the lungs to form an airflow. This impactful and directional airflow goes straight into the respiratory tract,
"It can push out the food blockage that is blocking the respiratory tract. Of course, we can also let the patient lie down to save him, but the success rate of lying down is much lower than that of standing and leaning forward. In order to save as much as possible, I have to let Master Shangguan stand and lean forward."

The ancients called "trachea" "breath path" or "airway".

She spoke and gestured at the same time, explaining the principles of the Heimlich maneuver clearly.

Let them know and spread the word.

Guo Jialing and Eunuch Li seemed to understand what was said, but they understood a little bit.

This posture can form a siege, generate gas inside, and more easily knock out foreign objects. Unlike what some people say, Miss Feng used such an indecent action to save people in order to rely on her own son.

Guo Jialing smiled and said, "Miss Feng is so talented that she can even come up with such a good idea."

Eunuch Li smiled and said, "Oh my, Miss Feng is really amazing despite her young age. Her Royal Highness the Princess and the Prince Consort asked me to ask Miss Feng if she needs anything."

Feng Chuchen said, "Mr. Shangguan has already given me a considerable sum of money for the consultation. Today, Her Royal Highness the Princess has also given me so many gifts. It's already a lot. I have no other requests."

The expressions of Guo Jialing and Eunuch Li both relaxed.

If Miss Feng said that she was not getting married and wanted to repay the favor, we would have to spend more time and effort to appease her.

Eunuch Li said, "Her Royal Highness the Princess also said that in the future, Miss Feng and Brother Feng should go and talk to Her Royal Highness whenever they have time."

Feng Chuchen thanked the princess for loving her people like her own children.

Just listen to these kind words.

Guo Jialing continued, "The Prince Consort asked me to ask Miss Feng if she is willing to teach the Imperial Hospital that method of saving lives, so as to save more people. If she is willing, I will ask the officials of the Imperial Hospital to come and ask for advice. If she is not willing, just pretend that I didn't say anything."

Feng Chuchen has already explained the principles and methods to them, so how could he not be willing to tell the Imperial Hospital?

The idea proposed by Prince Consort Shangguan not only saved more people, but also restored her damaged reputation to the greatest extent.

Feng Chuchen had heard of Shangguan's son-in-law, whose name was Shangguan Yunqi and who inherited the title of Marquis of Wei'an. It was said that he was handsome, talented in both civil and military affairs, and that he and Princess Yanghe played well together, which won the emperor's admiration and the empress dowager's love.

The Shangguan family was a noble family in the previous dynasty, and their ancestors followed the founding emperor of the Great Yan Dynasty to establish the country. The Shangguan family also produced beauties, including a consort and an imperial concubine in the previous dynasty, and a consort in this dynasty.

Shangguan Yunqi, Shangguan Ruyu, just hearing these names is beautiful enough.

Feng Chuchen said, "I am willing. The greatest wish of a doctor is to have great compassion and sympathy, and to save all living beings from suffering."

Admiration flashed in Guo Jialing's eyes, and he cupped his hands and said, "Miss Feng is as kind-hearted as Doctor Feng, and is a role model in the medical field." He added, "The Imperial Hospital will not ask for the prescription for nothing, and will give a certain reward."

The two stood up and said goodbye.

Feng Chuchen and his sister saw them out the door and saw many villagers standing not far away watching the fun.

The loud voices in the courtyard were heard by the builders of the memorial archway. They could not hear what was said, but they knew that the princess had given a message and saw many good things being carried in, so they spread the news.

After several carriages drove away, Mr. Zhao, the head of the village, and a group of villagers ran forward.

"Ms. Chen, Buji, are those people from the Princess's Mansion?"

"There's also a eunuch coming to read the imperial edict?"

"Doctor Feng has been dead for so long, why are you still rewarding her?"

Feng Buji said, "They are from Princess Yanghe's mansion. My sister accidentally saved the princess's son, and the princess praised my sister and gave her some gifts."

The villagers were even more shocked that Feng Chuchen had actually become successful.

"Oh my God, Princess, that's a person from heaven."

"Chen girl is lucky, she has won the favor of the eldest princess."

"The Feng family's ancestral grave is emitting green smoke."

"Good things happen one after another."

……

Someone else asked, "What's wrong with the eldest princess's son?"

Feng Buji said vaguely, "It was stuck by a jujube, and my sister knocked the jujube out of his stomach."

The news of that incident has not come here yet, so he doesn't want to be too specific.

Mr. Zhao was so envious that his eyes turned red. If he married Feng Chuchen home, his family would be able to establish a relationship with the Princess's Mansion and rise to the top in one step.

The third son is short-sighted. He pushed such a good girl away. I wonder if he won't teach him a lesson when he gets home...

The brother and sister ignored the villagers' wish to see the good things and did not invite them to their home. They stood at the door, said a few polite words, and then left.

When he returned to the east room, Feng Buji saw the brocade covering half of the kang and the four brocade boxes, and he smiled so hard that his teeth were exposed.

"My sister's dowry is even more generous."

Feng Chuchen found it funny. His biggest dream was to marry her to a good family and give her a lot of dowry.

At the top was a gift list, which read: four pieces of dress satin, four pieces of spring silk, two strings of cinnabar scented beads, a red gold lotus hairpin inlaid with gems, and a jade hairpin inlaid with gold and pearls.

The eight pieces of satin were brilliant and extremely gorgeous and beautiful, several grades higher than the fabrics sent by the Wen family. Even the worldly-wise Feng Chuchen loved them very much.
