Chapter 6 — Champion Flower Queen

Giang Tuan's face darkened. But he acted like "I did it for her good".
"You offended Liu Wu. Don't you know what his personality is like?"
“Only if you become my concubine, I can protect you.”
He spoke extremely generously, as if he was giving me a way to live. I don't pay attention to him. His eyes went over his shoulder, stopping on the white horse behind him. It was a Western Region horse as white as snow. The mane is neatly combed, the saddle is studded with silver, looking extremely majestic. I walked over and placed my hand on the horse's forehead. A series of mumbles immediately rang out in his ears:
“You evil people force me to pull the cart every day…”
“I hate pulling carts the most.”
"I can't run, my mouth is often squeezed by the reins and it hurts."
“I should be wandering between heaven and earth, not being used as a donkey…”
Giang Tuan shouted from behind:
“Don't touch my horse!”
I don't pay attention. The tip of the finger slid to the back of the horse's ear, gently pinching it, not heavy or light. The skin there is very thin. My actions are like scratching an itch, and like giving it a signal that only both sides can understand. The white horse's ears trembled and immediately quieted down. I turned my head and smiled at Giang Tuan.
“Second Master Jiang, this horse is not suitable for pulling a carriage.”
“Following you is just a waste of treasure.”
“You name a price, sell it to me.”
He smirked.
“What is a lady like you doing riding a horse?”
“Isn't it just for others to laugh at?”
I was too lazy to say more, so I just walked around him and left. That night, the news reached my ears. On Giang Tuan's way back to the palace, the white horse pulling the cart suddenly went crazy in the middle of the street. It jumped and kicked, knocking him out of the car, then dragging him more than ten steps. Although he recovered one life, his leg was broken, white bones exposed. Xuan Hanh happily scolded:
“Deserve it!”
Truly worth living. Spending thousands of gold to buy a horse, only to end up using it to pull the cart. The more precious the horse, the greater its temperament. That horse endured him for a long time. I just tell him: You don't need to hold back anymore. 13 I stood waiting on the road that the Royal Physician had to pass to get to Sung Quoc Cong's palace. Giang Tuan fell so heavily, the Giang family will definitely invite a doctor who is good at connecting bones to treat him. Going from this road to Giang's house only takes half an hour. At the beginning of East Street there is an old eucalyptus tree. I stood under the shade of the tree waiting. Not long after, physician Ly Thai's carriage arrived. I looked at the chestnut horse pulling the cart and let out a very small "huh" sound. The horse immediately raised its front hooves and stood still in place. Even though the driver whipped and scolded him, he refused to take another step. Three cups of tea passed. Doctor Ly Thai couldn't wait any longer, so he had to carry the medicine box. Even at his old age, he still had to leave his car and walk. When he arrived at Giang's palace, it was almost two hours later than expected. When it comes to connecting bones, a little delay can be a world of difference. On the third day, news spread: Chan Giang Tuan was disabled. It is said that Ly Thai was even scolded by the Giang family as a charlatan. Doctor Ly Thai was angry and said loudly:
“What does this have to do with me?”
“Your horses went crazy in the middle of the road.”
“I can only bring my disciples and medicine box and hire another carriage to come here.”
“I have been very devoted.”
“I haven't asked you to pay the rental fee yet!”
The driver knelt on the ground, his whole body shaking.
“When passing the old eucalyptus tree on East Street, the horse suddenly went crazy.”
"No matter how much I fight, I won't leave."
“It's really too evil.”

Ancient medicine was backward. First, the horse pulling the cart suddenly lost control, injuring Giang Tuan. Then the doctor's horse lost control, slowing down the treatment time. When two consecutive things are added together, people immediately come to a conclusion. The Giang family did unscrupulous things, so they began to receive retribution. It seems that Giang Tuan will no longer be able to laugh in this life. Second uncle and Lam Lo should also cry. 14 I will not return to the Lam family. But I still vaguely heard the story of Mrs. Giang holding a marriage letter to force her second aunt to marry her daughter. The second aunt cried to the heavens and the earth. Lam Lo used tears to wash his face every day. And we eat well and sleep well. Every day before dawn, he left the house, changed medicine for the black horse, and checked the wound. After cutting off the rotten flesh, it left a hole as deep as a knuckle on its leg. Every day, it must be washed with strong alcohol, sprinkled with powder and then bandaged with a clean cloth. At first it was so painful that I trembled. I squatted next to it and patted its neck.
“Hold on a bit.”
“Just hold on a little and you'll be fine.”
Maybe it makes sense. It gritted its teeth and endured it, absolutely not kicking anyone. On the seventh day, the black horse's fever subsided and began to eat grass. When eating the first piece of clean grass, I heard it mutter:
“This thing… finally stopped piercing…”
Later, the chestnut horse also stopped having diarrhea and could stand up and walk two steps. The scabies and parasites on the golden horse disappeared. The hair is just starting to grow, shiny and shiny under the sun, looking extremely happy. What makes me happiest is that the black horse can run slowly around the stable. Then, it stopped and used its wet nose to rub against my palm.
“It was this person who saved me.”
“I have to repay her…”
I stroked the black mane on its forehead and smiled proudly. During this month, the attitude of the veterinarians in Thai Boc Temple also completely changed. At first, they stood aside and coldly observed. Then start holding the notebook. In the end, they resolutely followed behind me, continuously asking all kinds of questions. One day, while I was cleaning the black horse's wound, the goat-bearded mandarin stood beside me for a long time and suddenly asked dryly:
“Miss Lam… where did you learn these things from?”
I didn't raise my head, just brushing the black horse's hair and casually making up stories.
“When I was a child, there was an old servant in my family who raised horses.”
“I learned a little from him.”
The goat-bearded mandarin was silent. He has gone very far, I can still hear him mumbling:
“Evil sect…”
“First time seeing a little lady who is more powerful than a veterinarian…”
One month later, all the sick horses recovered. Thai Boc himself went to the stables to check. Looking at the once dying Western Horses, all of them are now healthy and fat, he is extremely satisfied.
“Miss Lam has made a great contribution.”
The great uncle's story has finally changed. The above saw that the horses had indeed been saved, so they did not continue to investigate. Only issued an official letter: Dismissing Young Master Thai Boc Tu, fined five thousand taels of silver, and immediately sent him home. The great uncle finally returned safely. But the official position was lost. Xuan Hanh looked at me cautiously.
“The crown prince has been dismissed…”
“Later, the main room…”
“It's a beach, it's a beach.”
We blow a layer of hot air on the bowl of porridge.
“He originally didn't like this official position.”
“Every day, I complain about not having enough face.”
"There's no need to do it now. Isn't that just what he wanted?"
Xuan Hanh was stunned.
“But the big room no longer has official positions, from now on, money will be in the public domain…”
“What does it have to do with me?”
Now we have seen it.
