Chapter 307 Apprenticeship

 "Grandma, Grandma Gu, Master Wei, I went down to work!"

In the main room, Mrs. Yan and the three of them were still eating breakfast. When they heard Daohua's energetic voice, their faces showed smiles.

Seeing her granddaughter leading Wang Man'er out of the yard in a hurry, Mrs. Yan shook her head helplessly: "This girl is still so frizzy, which makes my elder sister laugh."

Grandma Gu said with a smile: "That's how it is. It's neat and tidy, and makes people feel happy when they look at it."

Old Mrs. Yan also likes her granddaughter like this, but when she thinks about the things she has heard about the back house over the years, she sighs again: "That girl is too straightforward. I'm afraid she will suffer in the future."

Gu Jian, who had been eating silently, raised his head and said, "Don't worry, old lady. If your granddaughter monkey spirit offends her, someone else will definitely suffer."

Hearing this, Mrs. Yan smiled and did not refute.

The granddaughter is straightforward, but she is also quite skillful. After being punished by her several times, the girls in the family no longer dare to mess with her anymore and have become much more well-behaved.

No one dared to cause trouble in the kitchen left to her.

Even the shrewd and tactful second son and his wife have never benefited from that girl.

In the past, she thought her granddaughter would be too hot-tempered and would be disliked by her husband's family when she got there. But in the past two years, after hearing too much about the twists and turns in the backyards of wealthy families, she felt that her granddaughter's hot-tempered temper would be better.

.

It's better to let others suffer than to suffer yourself.

After that, the three of them had breakfast.

Watching his sister and the old lady of the Yan family chatting and laughing, and gossiping about everyday things, the wrinkles on Gu Jian's brows that had been wrinkled all year round have relaxed a lot.

Ever since the Yan family's ancestors and grandsons came to Taohua An, their place seemed to have more fireworks.

In the past, my sister would only walk casually in the mountains, but now she and Mrs. Yan would go down the mountain and wander around. Although she was very tired every time she went up and down the mountain, she felt much better.

After a while, the three of them finished their meal.

Gu Jian quickly started to clear away the dishes. Mrs. Yan wanted to stand up and help, but he refused.

After staying here for a few days, Mrs. Yan finally understood Gu Jian's temperament. He liked to do everything by himself and didn't like others messing with his things, so she just sat down.

This time, considering that Granny Gu and Gu Jian had no servants to serve them, she didn’t bring anyone with her except for her granddaughter, who was accompanied by Wang Maner who needed to run errands from time to time.

Although she has been taken care of by maids and mothers all these years, she comes from a peasant family and still likes to do things within her own power. She feels more comfortable when there is no one around to follow her.

"The weather has been good these two days, and the peach blossoms on the mountains have bloomed. Sister, let's go out to eat." Mrs. Yan said to Granny Gu with a smile.

These days, after eating, as long as there is no wind, she will take Sister Gu out for a walk.

Although she was not a doctor, she could tell that Sister Gu was in poor health and wanted her to move more.

Furthermore, she also sympathized very much with the orphaned siblings. They had no children and were in poor health, so she couldn't help but feel some pity in her heart.

Grandma Gu smiled and nodded.

During this period of time, that girl Daohua did not eat in the same way. She had a bad appetite and could only eat a few mouthfuls of food at each meal before, but now she still feels unsatisfied after finishing a bowl.

After eating more, she could feel her body becoming lighter.

In the kitchen, Gu Jian watched the two old ladies supporting each other and slowly walking out of the yard. A smile flashed in his eyes, and he couldn't help but wash the dishes a little faster.

Seeing that there was still a little bit of red rice porridge left in the pot, Gu Jian was reluctant to throw it away. He scooped it into a bowl and ate it up in a few mouthfuls.

Although he can earn some money by treating patients, he cannot buy rare foods such as red rice, purple rice, and black rice.

There's no way, it's not available on the market.

Because he wanted to leave the red rice, purple rice, and black rice to his sister, he never made his share every time he cooked. Unexpectedly, one time when he was nibbling steamed buns in the kitchen, he was actually eaten by rice flowers.

That girl bumped into her.

Then, the girl took over the cooking forcibly, and she had to serve it every time she ate.

"If you don't agree, I'll tell Grandma Gu to go and say that you only eat steamed buns and don't eat."

I haven't been threatened by anyone in a long time, but this feeling is not bad.

......

Under Daohua's guidance, some day laborers who were familiar with farming quickly learned how to grow yam.

With them watching from the side, Daohua felt much more relaxed and spent more time on the mountain.

One day, Qin Xiaoliu went to the county town to buy and met someone selling black-bone chickens. Thinking that Mrs. Yan now lived on Peach Blossom Mountain, he bought two and came back to pay tribute.

When Daohua saw the black-bone chicken, her eyes suddenly lit up. She asked Wang Maner to carry the prepared black-bone chicken back to Taohua Temple. When she saw her grandmother and Granny Gu sitting in the yard picking vegetables, she smiled and said, "Grandma, Granny Gu, today

I’ll make black chicken soup for you tonight.”

The two old ladies looked at each other and smiled: "Then you have to make it more delicious."

Daohua carried the black-bone chicken into the kitchen, and then started to work.

Gu Jian stood aside and watched silently. Then he thought of something and quickly turned around and went to his pharmacy. After a while, he came over with a collection of angelica and astragalus: "Put some of this in."

Dao Hua was overjoyed: "Okay, then I'll just make it into medicinal food."

After a while, Daohua put the black-bone chicken into the pot and went out of the kitchen. Seeing only her grandmother and Granny Gu in the yard, she asked: "Where is the strange master?"

Grandma Gu nodded her chin towards the last room to the west: "It's in his pharmacy."

Hearing this, Daohua rolled her eyes and couldn't help but walk towards the pharmacy.

After living here for so long, she has never entered a pharmacy.

"Wow, you actually have so many medicinal materials here!"

Looking at the medicine cabinet in the room and smelling the aroma of medicine in the room, Daohua's eyes widened.

Gu Jian glanced at her and saw her walking in directly. He frowned and looked a little dissatisfied, but in the end he didn't say anything.

After entering the house, Daohua realized that she seemed to have come in without asking the strange master's opinion. She immediately stood there with an embarrassed look on her face, hesitating whether to go out and try it again.

"What are you doing standing still? Come here and let me test you to see how many medicinal materials you know?"

Hearing this, Daohua immediately puffed up her chest and walked over with confidence.

Not to mention what she learned in her previous life, even in this life, she often reads medical books. She knows all kinds of Chinese medicines by heart, but she definitely knows them.

Gu Jian did some research on Daohua and found that this girl really knew a lot and had a very good understanding of the functions of medicinal materials.

Daohua's eyes were never idle. When Gu Jian was testing her, she noticed the pile of colorful bottles and jars in the corner of the pharmacy: "Master Wei, are those medicines made by you?"

Seeing the light shining in Daohua's eyes, Gu Jian felt a little funny, raised his eyebrows and asked: "Want to learn?"

Daohua nodded quickly: "It's strange that the master's medical skills are so good. If I can learn a few points, I will definitely benefit from it for the rest of my life."

"Excellent medical skills?"

A trace of sarcasm flashed across Gu Jian's eyes, how could he not be too proud?

Since he was three years old, he was captured and worked as a medicine slave for the Nine-Five-Year-Old Lord. He had taken countless medicines in his life. In order to survive, he had to work hard to specialize in medical skills.

Sometimes he himself wonders, it is really a miracle that he can survive to this day.

Daohua saw that he was silent and thought that he was unwilling to teach her. Although she felt a little disappointed, she didn't mind it much. She knew that in ancient times, everyone took what they learned very seriously and could not pass it on to anyone except their children.

"Master, I'll go out first!"

Just when Daohua was about to reach the door, Gu Jian spoke: "If you want to learn, then come to my pharmacy every afternoon and wait."

Hearing this, Daohua was stunned for a moment, and then she was filled with joy: "Thank you, Master Gu, I will study hard."

This matter was noticed by Mrs. Yan and Granny Gu within a few days.

"Girl, come here!"

One day, Daohua was about to go to the pharmacy. As soon as she walked into the yard, she was stopped by Mrs. Yan.

Daohua smiled and stepped forward: "Grandma, what can I do?"

Mrs. Yan: "Why do you keep going to Master Gu's pharmacy these days?"

Daohua smiled and replied: "Master Wei is teaching me medical skills!"

Mrs. Yan's expression changed and she said displeasedly: "Girl, why are you so unruly?"

Master Gu's medical skills are known to people from all over the country. Such skills are passed down as a family inheritance, so my granddaughter has the temerity to go up and learn other people's skills. This is too unruly.

Grandma Gu smiled nonchalantly: "It's okay, Xiao Jianting likes this girl, and I'm willing to teach her medical skills."

Mrs. Yan still had some disapproval on her face. She knew that this girl liked to study medicine, so she thought about it and said, "If you want to learn the skills of the ancient master, you should become a disciple first."

"Ah?!"

Daohua was stunned.

She really had never thought about this, but when her grandmother mentioned it, she remembered it. It seems that this is true in this era. If you want to learn other people's skills, you must first become a disciple.

On the side, Granny Gu’s eyes flashed for a moment, and then her face slowly showed emotion.

She knew her health well, and the reason why she could still survive these years was because she relied on Xiao Jiantian's constant medicine; and secondly, she still had some extravagant hope in her heart, hoping to see her son again.

Now, as she gets older, and after falling into the water last time, her body is getting worse day by day. She really doesn't know how long she can live.

If she dies, what will Xiaojian do alone?

Daohua is a kind-hearted girl who knows how to repay her kindness. If Xiaojian can accept her as his apprentice, he will definitely respect Xiaojian well. Even if she dies, Xiaojian will still have someone to rely on.

Thinking of this, Granny Gu looked at Daohua with even more eagerness.

"I...I..."

Hearing the commotion in the courtyard, Gu Jian walked out of the pharmacy. Seeing Dao Hua's hesitant look, his face immediately darkened: "Why, I still can't be your master?"

Daohua shook her head repeatedly: "I didn't mean that. I just feel that you are at a disadvantage for being my master. At your age, you should be my master."
