Chapter 881: The Young Marquis's Broken Engagement Wife (3)
In times of crisis, one's mouth can sometimes outpace one's brain. Huo Qingyang spoke up, "The title was just conferred, and the Ministry of Rites is still working on it. Since the matter of honoring the troops is urgent, I came to Youcheng first. Once the title is officially confirmed, I'll send someone to inform General Shangguan."
"Can this be done?" Shangguan Ruojing had been in Youcheng since he was born and had never returned to the general's mansion in the capital. He was not very familiar with these things, so he was fooled.
As for Shangguan Ruoyu, although he felt that this person was hiding something, seeing his "weak" appearance, he didn't say anything.
Then they took Huo Qingyang and his group to the posthouse.
The Shangguan family could be considered the local tyrant of Youcheng, so when facing the lord who came to visit the troops, the brothers only showed respect on the surface. After sending the lord away, they went to their sister's clinic.
As soon as I walked in, I saw the clinic was full of patients.
"Young Master, Young Master, you are here?" Shangguan Ruojin's maid Luoyue was also here to help. She had just finished delivering a prescription to someone nearby when she saw the two brothers.
Shangguan Ruoyu turned around and looked around, then asked, "Where's Ah Man? Didn't she come back with you?"
"The young lady thinks the child with a broken leg can still be saved. She's currently fixing his bones in the inner room!" Luo Yue pointed inside. "The child is young, so we can't use too much Ma Fei San. Just a small amount of medicine and acupuncture to seal the acupuncture points.
Because of this, this bone correction must be completed in a short period of time, so this is the only way to go for now."
Some injured patients followed up and said, "Yes! The child is still young. If he can be saved from being lame, we are willing to wait and let him be treated first." said a middle-aged man with a bloody cut on his arm.
Others also followed suit.
Youcheng often faces harassment from foreign races, so the common people here are relatively united and kind.
Shangguan Ruoyu thought for a moment and said to his attendants, "This won't work. No matter how powerful my sister is, she's the only one left. This disaster caused by horses trampling through the busy streets should be handled by the government.
Go to the barracks and have one of the military doctors on duty stay to handle any emergencies, and call everyone else over here. Although they're willing to wait, some of the seriously injured probably can't wait too long."
"Yes!" The follower quickly ran back to the military camp to find someone.
Shangguan Ruojing instructed his attendants to go to nearby restaurants and buy some buns, pancakes, and the like to feed the hungry people. "Find a shop near the clinic and have them boil some hot water and bring it over."
After the two brothers made all the arrangements, they stood at the door of the inner room and acted as door gods for their sister Shangguan Ruojin.
Shangguan Ruoyu's followers were very fast, and the military doctor was located very close to Youcheng.
In addition, the commander-in-chief Shangguan Xiong also heard about the accident, so he arranged for the army to send a carriage to bring two military doctors over.
Soon the injured people received good treatment.
Military doctors are different from ordinary doctors. They may not be able to treat some difficult and complicated diseases, but they are definitely more skilled than ordinary doctors in treating trauma, and their actions are also very quick.
By the time Shangguan Ruojin came out of the inner room, most of the injured in the clinic had been treated.
"A'man, that child..." Shangguan Ruoyu had just asked when she was pushed away by the child's mother.
"Doctor, how is my son? Can his legs be saved? He is still young and cannot be without legs." The woman said while crying.
Anyone would probably have the same attitude towards this matter.
Under normal circumstances, it is difficult to save the leg after being broken by a horse, because the bone fragments will cause the victim unbearable pain, infection, swelling, and recurring wounds.
In the end, the leg may need to be amputated to save the life.
Such injuries can actually still be seen in Youcheng. For example, when the enemy attacks, people who cannot dodge in time will be trampled to death.
Because we have dealt with such injuries so many times, in the past few years, when we encountered such a situation, we basically recommended that the injured person undergo amputation directly.
Now that we already know the final course of the injuries, there is no need to make those people struggle in pain anymore.
The person who proposed changing the treatment plan and successfully saved an injured patient was Shangguan Ruojin.
Shangguan Ruojin, nicknamed A'man!
She was sent back to the general's mansion in the capital when she was about ten years old.
The person who previously served as her substitute and lived in the general's mansion was her personal maid Luoyue.
By the time of Shangguan Ruojin's father, only Shangguan Xiong and Shangguan Wei were left in the Shangguan family.
Speaking of which, the brothers were not originally supposed to be called these names. Shangguan Xiong's name means majestic, and Shangguan Wei's name means powerful.
The person who gave this name hopes that his son will be strong and powerful.
However, according to an "insider", the original name should have been Shangguan Wu or Shangguan Zhuang!
"What a great name! People say that people with rough names are more likely to live a good life. They all have the same meaning, so what if the name is a little rough?" Shangguan Ruojin's grandfather, who gave the name, said to his wife righteously.
"But you are too rude. You are a general after all. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at if your son is named this?" Mrs. Shangguan could tolerate all her husband's rude behavior.
After all, he had always been like this before she married him, but now it concerns her son's name and future reputation, so she doesn't intend to compromise today.
Seeing his wife, who was usually very gentle to him, being so persistent, the general who had fought on the battlefield was a little shaken.
The final result is that there is no problem with the naming idea, it is still majestic and powerful, just two words were changed.
Maybe it’s the fate of a military family to have few descendants!
My elder brother Shangguan Wei, his wife was a female doctor from a medical family. They loved each other all their lives and had two sons and one daughter.
One month before his wife was due to give birth, a powerful enemy attacked and Shangguan Wei put on armor and went to the battlefield.
He did not give in and killed five enemy generals in a row, eventually forcing them to retreat. However, he himself was seriously injured and died on the road before returning to the Youcheng base.
Before dying, his younger brother Shangguan Xiong said sadly, "Brother, why are you so stupid? When it came to the fourth round, you could have retreated. If that hadn't worked, I would have held on to Youcheng, waited for a while, and then looked for another opportunity to break out."
"Cough!" Shangguan Wei coughed up a mouthful of blood. The fourth opponent was a ruthless character. He stabbed Shangguan Wei in the heart.
However, Shangguan Wei took the heart-protecting pill given by his wife and the bleeding stopped temporarily. If he didn't fight the fifth battle, he still had a great chance of returning to Youcheng alive. However, he did not retreat and refused to give in.
"We can't retreat, we can't give in, and we can't kneel!" Shangguan Wei held his brother's hand and said finally, "Behind me is Youcheng, your sister-in-law is pregnant and about to give birth, and it's impossible for all the people to leave.
If we retreat today, or show even the slightest sign of weakness, even if they don't attack now, they will increase the frequency of their attacks later."
