Master Gu and Gu Yi looked at each other and said with a smile, “I am just a country bumpkin, I have never seen anything in the world, I am afraid that I might surprise the old gentleman, I will not go, I will just look at the old gentleman’s ink treasures every day.”
“This thing is really good.”
Mrs. Gu did not move to change the subject, she held the pearl powder in her hand and never put it down, obviously she liked it very much, “Many years ago, your uncle went to the south to do business, once brought me back a box, I could not even use it.”
Song Wan Yue followed her words and said, “This time, auntie mother, feel free to use it, in the future, great grandfather will often send people over, when you are about to run out of it, let me know, I will ask them to bring it to you.”
“That would be best.”
Song Wan Yue stayed with them for a while longer before she and Gu Yi came out of the courtyard.
Gu Yi held her hand, “I already had someone send a letter to Master Chu yesterday, she shouldn’t be able to come over until a few days later, so you should put the gifts for her back in the courtyard first.”
“Fine.”
Daya stayed in the courtyard and cleaned the courtyard inside and out every day, there was not even a blade of grass in the courtyard. When she heard that Song Wangyue had returned the day before, she wiped down all the things that Song Wangyue would use countless times in the past two days, and rewashed all the mattresses.
When she saw her from afar, she curtsied and ran up to take the things in their hands, “Miss Song, you’ve finally come.”
When she smiled, the dimples on both sides of her face became even deeper.
“Sister Daya is getting prettier and prettier.”
Daya blushed, “Miss Song is making fun of slave servant again.”
“I am telling the truth, Sister Daya is already a beauty, and when she grows up in a few years, she will certainly be a beauty.”
Daya’s face became even redder, “I’ll go and put the things away.”
After saying that, she hurriedly ran to the side room with her things.
Song Wangyue smiled and shook her head, telling Gu Yi to wait outside while she went inside and changed her clothes and came out, going back to Doctor Yao’s courtyard to make the pills.
After a long day, several people were exhausted, and Dr. Yao even laid down on a recliner, complaining, “My old bones are really exhausted this time, other people accept disciples for the sake of enjoying themselves, but I’m better off, accepting disciples for the sake of working.
“Tired?”
Gu Yi asked after taking a slow sip from his tea.
“Of course, I’m not like you young people, I’m already fifty this year, I’m old and old-legged, I’m tired of doing a little work, let alone doing so much today.”
“That’s good ……”
Gu Yi was still unhurried, “I’ll return half of the silver cheque that the little girl gave you today, and you don’t want the other two thousand taels, so you don’t have to follow it tomorrow.”
“How can that be ……”
Yao Daifu sat up straight at once, “The silver ticket is mine once it’s in my hand, you don’t want it back.”
“Then don’t complain.”
Dr. Yao lay back down again in anger, “How could I be so unlucky to meet such a black-hearted young master like you, no, apprentice, you have to cook me good food, otherwise you can’t heal the damage I’ve done to my heart.”
“Good, what do you want to eat, I will go and make it right away.”
Dr. Yao sat up straight again at once, “Boiled fish, spicy chicken pieces, shredded fish and pork, five spice phoenix claws ……”
Every time he said a dish, Gu Yi swallowed his saliva, these he also wanted to eat, but the little girl had been tired all day, could not make her tired again, cold voice, “Only two can be chosen.”
“Huh?”
Yao Dafu was looking forward to the table full of good dishes in a while, and froze when he heard his words, “What, what can only choose two.”
“You can only choose two of these dishes.”
“By what right, this is the apprentice’s filial respect to …… Master.”
Under Gu Yi’s gaze, Doctor Yao’s voice trailed off and he reluctantly changed his tone, “Then boiled sliced pork and shredded fish and pork.”
Song Wangyue got up and went to the kitchen, and Gu Yi followed.
Seeing the two go far away, Yao Dafu lay back down and muttered, “Never seen such a loving daughter-in-law, I’ll see you through some ……”
The latter words did not come out, turning his head to look in the direction of the study, the medical books there were collected by him with all his life’s efforts, if one day ……
Yao Daifu closed his eyes.
……
Four days later, several people made all the pills they bought.
Gu Yi had a few boxes prepared, not too big or small, and packed the pills and sent them to the county with Song Wan Yue.
In the past few days, Meng Yang had been teaching Song Shen day and night, hoping to pass on all his life’s experience to him, not because he had high hopes for him, but because he hoped that he would be able to stand alone soon and share some of Yue’s burdens.
He had long seen that the Song family was supported by Yue’er, and if Song Shen could stand on his own, Yue would be able to have an easier time.
“Uncle grandfather.”
Hearing Song Wan Yue’s voice, Meng Yang quickly came out of the house, and when he saw a few boxes, he knew that the pills were ready.
“Uncle grandfather will take them back first, the rest will be ready soon as soon as the herbs arrive in place.”
“Excellent, I’ll order someone to prepare them now and depart back first thing tomorrow morning.”
Song Shen also came out of the house, Song Wan Yue could see at a glance that he was different from the previous days, not only did his eyes have a more radiant look in them than ever before, even his aura had changed, becoming confident and stable.”
“Second brother.”
“Hard work, little sister.”
For a moment, it was as if Song Wangyue saw Song Si’s shadow in him.
The following day, Meng Yang took some of the men and left first. Meng, Xu, Song Lin and Song Wan Yue and Gu Yi walked him to the city gate and saw his carriage go far away before they got on the carriage and went back.
Halfway to the city gate, Boss Wei’s carriage came in a hurry, saw them and immediately stopped, got off and came over, “Young master and Miss Song, just now Third Master Song went to the restaurant and said that the director of the Qingping Academy wanted to pay a visit to Old Master, I didn’t dare to answer and went to look for you at home, heard from the subordinates that you had come over to see off Mr. Meng, so I hurried to catch up with you.”
“Where is he?”
“In the stall. ”
“I got it, let’s go over and pick him up.”
The two men gave Meng a word and went to the stall.
Dean sat anxiously on a stool, looking in the direction of the bazaar.
He had only heard early this morning that his benefactor had come to Qingping County and rushed to the stall to enquire, but Song Shu and the others did not know and sent Song San Xiao to the restaurant to ask, he wanted to follow him there, but was stopped by Song Shu and told to sit here and wait.
The carriage stopped and Song Wan Yue just showed her head, the dean saw it and immediately got up and came over, “Miss Song.”
“Dean please get on the carriage, I’ll take you to see Grand Great Grandfather.”
“I’ll trouble Miss Song.”
The dean got on the carriage, the news of the great sir had spread all over the world, he had been worried about his benefactor’s health and had thought of making a trip to the capital, but there were many things going on at the academy and he just couldn’t get away.
