Chapter 134: Come and Collect Apprentices
Before, because the Queen Mother was there, Gu Jinrong didn't ask much, but now in private, she couldn't wait to ask: "Are you sure about the Queen Mother's illness?" ”
Seeing that the Queen Mother's attitude towards Ah Xiu was very kind, Gu Jinrong wondered if she had thought of a way.
It's just that Ah Xiu shook his head decisively and said, "Not at all, that illness is not something I can cure." ”
The smile on Gu Jinrong's face froze for a moment, but he immediately recovered and comforted: "There is nothing to do, there is no problem, the Empress Dowager's illness, even the imperial doctor has no way." She was afraid that Ah Xiu would be sad.
"I know what I do." Ah Xiu didn't feel that this was anything to be comforted at all.
There is no end to learning, and Chinese medicine itself is broad and profound, where can a beginner like her master it all.
In Ah Xiu's opinion, she doesn't have any formal teacher, except for the previous Dr. Tang, she basically relies on self-study all the time.
To be honest, it's just a beginner.
But in fact, her ability in traditional Chinese medicine is completely outstanding among those who study medicine.
Gu Jinrong saw that there was no obvious frustration on her face, and she seemed to be in a good mood during the banquet before, so she slowly relaxed her heart and turned to gossip about other things.
"Then do you know why Ah Ling gave you that hydrangea today?" Gu Jinrong smiled ambiguously.
"I guess no one sent it." Ah Xiu nodded, although she didn't communicate with those noble girls, but whoever called her ears were particularly smart, naturally she could hear their evaluation of Gu Jingling.
It's nothing more than some "unfortunately bad fate" words.
Presumably, Gu Jingling knew better than others what those people thought of him. If she was Gu Jingling, it would be impossible to give the hydrangea to those women.
Maybe you can still respond to yourself!
And as far as those women's gossip abilities are concerned, tsk......
"Isn't there still my sister!" Gu Jinrong was a little unconvinced, even if other women didn't want to give it away, wouldn't it be okay to give it to her!
"You still don't know Gu Jingling?" Ah Xiu asked rhetorically.
In her opinion, Gu Jingling gave her the hydrangea just for convenience, and his personality is absolutely gentlemanly, how could he bring such a girl's thing home.
So the most after the cheaper themselves.
But in Gu Jinrong's opinion, Gu Jingling's temperament is definitely resentful. I just framed him. So that he had to perform in front of everyone.
If he gave it to herself, then she had to wonder if he was calculating something in his heart.
Originally, it was quite ambiguous and imaginative, but it was analyzed by Ah Xiu. It seems that there is no room for reverie.
Although Gu Jinrong knew this in his heart, it seemed to be the truth. But no matter how she thought about it, she didn't think it was quite right.
And this Ah Xiu. How can you be so calm when you receive something from a man?
If only she......
Gu Jinrong began to imagine that if he had been given that hydrangea just now, because he had never had such an experience. She thought about it for a long time but didn't think it through.
And Pei Yan, looking at the two people from the side, always felt that their logic was a little strange, but he couldn't explain it specifically.
In her opinion, this Gu Xiaojun will give the ball to Ah Xiu, although it may be convenient, but it shows that he at least has a good impression of her, and Ah Xiu should be the same.
However, she forgot to think about Ah Xiu's money-loving temperament.
Along the way, Gu Jinrong's master and servant have been entangled......
returned to the Zhenguo General's Mansion, and Ah Xiu was naturally condoled again.
In their opinion, Ah Xiu's failure to heal the Empress Dowager was something that needed to be comforted, and they were all afraid that she would be depressed.
Although I feel that they really underestimate their own psychological quality, I see that they are desperately stepping on others to praise themselves.
When Ah Xiu felt funny, his heart warmed again.
These people didn't have much contact with her, and she didn't plan to have any real connection with them.
But they are genuinely good to themselves.
Especially Lao Taijun, she may have empathized at the beginning, but now, she really cares about a person named Ah Xiu.
Compared with Gu Jinrong, Mrs. Gu and the old lady naturally thought more about the matter of hydrangea.
But they just kept it hidden, and didn't even ask a word.
This made Gu Jinrong believe it even more, and sure enough, he was thinking too much.
It wasn't too early when they came back, so they chatted briefly, and the old lady asked them to go back to rest.
Just waiting for the second day, Ah Xiu and Dr. Tang were just about to go to the distant mountains to collect medicine, when they heard a maid hurriedly coming to her.
Ah Xiu's knowledge of medicine recognition and medicine identification is particularly weak, which is the lack of self-study, although there are many patterns of medicinal herbs at home, Ah Xiu also remembers them in his mind.
But after all, there is a distance between painting and reality, not to mention, the portraits at this time are somewhat abstract.
There are many herbs, she can tell them all one by one, but it is still a little difficult to really find them.
"Miss Axiu." When the maid saw Doctor Tang, the expression on her face was a little afraid, this Gu family, there are few people who are not afraid of this grim-faced Doctor Tang.
She couldn't believe it, how could anyone stay with Dr. Tang for a long time, as if she was enjoying it!
"What's the matter?" At this hour, most people have just gotten up, and there is something that makes her come in such a hurry.
"Someone is looking for you." When the maid said this, her expression was a little strange.
"Looking for me?" Ah Xiu tilted his head and thought for a while, and the only person he could think of was Shen Dongli.
But Shen Dongli has always been the most polite, no matter what, he would not come to the General's Mansion to find her so early.
"Who is it?" Ah Xiu had another thought in her heart, could it be that Daddy came to her?
Thinking like this, there was a hint of anticipation on her face.
No matter how good the Gu family is, for Ah Xiu. There's always a sense of belonging missing.
"The old lady said, you will know when you go." The maid said.
She didn't understand why she wanted to tell Ah Xiu like this, instead of directly saying who it was.
Because of the hope in his heart, Ah Xiu and Dr. Tang said that they would go together later, and then followed the maid.
She still has some faint expectations in her heart, what will Daddy dress up like this time, and whether she can recognize him at once!
It's a pity that when Ah Xiu arrived in the living room, he saw the ancestors and grandchildren of the Xue family.
She was slightly stunned, but her eyes still subconsciously looked around the entire hall. Except for the people of the Gu family. It's just them.
It turned out that it wasn't Daddy......
Ah Xiu was very disappointed, because the gap was a little big, and the expression on her face suddenly withered.
Xue Ziqing was originally a little unhappy when he was forced into a female apprentice by the Empress Dowager, but now when he looks at Ah Xiu, he sees his disappointed look. He was even more upset.
What did she mean by this expression. Don't you look down on yourself?!
You must know the way of the world. It's how many people want to be apprentices for themselves.
If it weren't for the Empress Dowager's command, he wouldn't be willing to accept a woman as an apprentice!
"Ah Xiu, I heard that yesterday the Empress Dowager asked you to worship Old Man Xue as a master?" The old lady's expression was very strange.
In her opinion, this Ah Xiu and Dr. Tang are so close. Maybe it's been a long time since the love of master and apprentice was in it.
And Xue Ziqing and Doctor Tang have been rivals since decades ago, and this Ah Xiu still wants to worship Xue Ziqing as a teacher, no matter how she looks at it, she feels a little mysterious.
"I thought that yesterday the Empress Dowager was just a whim, and said it casually." Ah Xiu didn't expect that the old lady of the Xue family would come over so early in the morning.
It also made her look forward to it in vain.
"Since the Empress Dowager has spoken, then you are my Xue Ziqing's apprentice, you can pack up your things and move to Xue's house." When Xue Ziqing said this, there wasn't much emotion in it.
He just saw it as a task.
It's just that he is reluctant, it doesn't mean that Ah Xiu is willing!
"Although the Empress Dowager passed on the message, she only said that you should accept me as an apprentice, but she did not say that I must agree to be an apprentice for you!" Thinking that it was because of him, he wasted his feelings just now, and he spoke and looked not polite, Ah Xiu has always been the person who you respect me a foot, and I will respect you a foot.
Since he was not polite to her, she naturally did not have to respect the old and love the young.
Although he occupies an "old", she also occupies a "young"!
Xue Ziqing never expected Ah Xiu to have this attitude, probably because he had always been pulled by others to ask for apprentices, and he was stunned for a while when he encountered such an attitude.
When he came back to his senses, his first thought was to throw up his sleeves and leave, but he was still a little sensible.
Just like Ah Xiu said, the Empress Dowager's dictation was to let him accept Ah Xiu as an apprentice, instead of letting Ah Xiu worship him as a master.
It's just a subject-verb question, and she suddenly took advantage of the loophole.
But he couldn't refute it.
This made him blow his nose and stare at him.
The old lady saw that Ah Xiu was so sharp-toothed, and this old lady Xue didn't have any way to take her, so she immediately laughed happily.
Seeing her old friend so deflated, she gloated in her heart!
Old Lady Xue was a little annoyed when he saw the old lady's unscrupulous ridicule.
If he knew that he would come back for a few days, so as not to be thought that he was in a hurry to collect apprentices.
He's just impatient and unwilling to procrastinate.
"In that case, then we're going to take our leave!" Old Lady Xue said with a cold face, he has not received this kind of treatment for decades.
"Abi, help me send the old lady of the Xue family." The old lady said with a smile.
"Yes."
Xue Xingyi looked at his grandfather rushing out of the door angrily, and sighed lightly in his heart.
Turned his head to look at Ah Xiu, nodded slightly at her, and left with Xue Ziqing.
Ah Xiu was slightly stunned, didn't he treat her every time he saw her before as if he hadn't seen her, why did he change his attitude all of a sudden today? (To be continued......)
