Chapter 307, apprentice

"Grandma, old mother-in-law, strange master, I have gone down to work!"

In the hall, Mrs. Yan and the three of them were still eating breakfast. They heard Daohua’s energetic voice, and smiles coincidentally appeared on their faces.

Looking at the granddaughter taking Wang Man'er out of the yard in a hurry, the old lady Yan shook her head helplessly: "This girl is still so frizzy, making the old sister laugh."

Granny Gu said with a smile: "That’s it, it’s dignified, it makes people look bright."

The old lady Yan also likes her granddaughter like this, but when she thinks about the things she has been in contact with and heard about in the back house these years, she sighs again: "That girl is too straightforward. I'm afraid she will suffer in the future."

Gu Jian, who had been sullenly eating, raised his head and said, “Don’t worry, the old lady, your granddaughter is a monkey spirit. It’s someone else who provokes her.”

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

The granddaughter is frank, but she also has the means. After several girls in the family have been cleaned up by her a few times, she now dare not mess with her again, and she has become a lot more regular.

The kitchen handed over to her, no one dared to make trouble.

is the shrewd and sleek second child and second wife, who has never benefited from that girl.

In the past, she still felt that grandchildren were a little better, and they would be disliked by her in-laws when they arrived at her in-laws’ house. But in the past two years, after hearing more of the twists and turns in the backyards of large families, she felt that the grandchildren’s more powerful ones would be better. .

It is better to make others suffer than yourself.

After ??, the three of them ate breakfast.

Looking at the elder sister and the old lady of the Yan family talking and laughing, the wrinkles left by Gu Jian’s eyebrows due to year-round tightness are stretched a lot.

Since the grandparents of the Yan family came to Taohua Temple, they seemed to have more fireworks here.

In the past, my sister would only walk around the mountain casually, but now she still hangs out with the old lady Yan down the mountain. Although every time she goes up and down the mountain, she is tired, but her energy level is much better.

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

Gu Jian swiftly began to clean up the dishes, the old lady Yan wanted to stand up to help, but he refused.

Come over and live for a few days, the old lady Yan can be considered to understand Gu Jian's temperament, she likes to do everything by herself, and doesn't like others to mess around with his things, so she also sat down.

Coming out this time, considering that Granny Gu and Gu Jian did not take care of the servants, except for the granddaughter who was accompanied by Wang Man'er who needed to run errands from time to time, she was also alone.

Although she has been served by a maid-in-law over the years, she still likes to do something she can do on her own when she comes from a peasant family. No one is following, she is more at ease.

"The weather has been good these two days, the peach blossoms on the mountain are blooming, old sister, let's go out to eat." Old lady Yan said to Granny Gu with a smile.

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

Although she is not a doctor, she can see that Sister Gu is very poor, and she wants her to be more active.

Come again, she is also very sympathetic to this widow and lonely sibling. She has no children and is not in good health, so she can't help feeling a little bit of pity in her heart.

Old mother-in-law smiled and nodded.

During this time, the girl in Daohua didn't focus on cooking. She had a bad appetite. She could only eat a few mouthfuls of rice in the past, but now she still has a bit of meaning after eating a bowl.

Eat a lot, and she can feel her body lighter.

In the kitchen, Gu Jian watched the two old ladies walk out of the yard slowly while supporting each other, a smile flashed in his eyes, and the speed of washing dishes couldn't help but become a little brisk.

Seeing that there was a little red rice porridge left in the pot, Gu Jian was not willing to pour it out, and ate it after a few bites in the bowl.

He treats people to doctors. Although he can earn some silver, he cannot buy rare foods such as red rice, purple rice, and black rice.

No way, it's not sold on the market.

Because he wanted to leave the red rice, purple rice, and black rice to his sister to eat. Every time he cooked, he didn’t make his share. Who knows, once he was eaten by rice when he was eating wotou in the kitchen. That girl bumped into it.

Then, the girl forcibly took over the cooking, and she had to be on the table every time she ate.

"If you disagree, I will tell Granny Gu to go and say that you just gnaw at the head and do not eat."

I haven’t been threatened for a long time, but it doesn’t feel bad.

Under the guidance of Daohua, some day laborers who are familiar with farming quickly learned to grow yam.

With them watching from the sidelines, Daohua is much more relaxed and more time to stay on the mountain.

One day, Qin Xiaoliu went to the county town to buy. When he met someone selling black-bone chickens, he thought that Mrs. Yan now lives on Peach Blossom Mountain, so he bought two of them and came back to honor them.

When Daohua saw the black-bone chicken, her eyes lit up, and Wang Man'er returned to Taohua Temple with the prepared black-bone chicken. She saw grandmother and grandmother sitting in the yard picking vegetables, and said with a smile: "Grandmother, grandmother, today I'll make black-bone chicken soup for you tonight."

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

Taohua carried the black-bone chicken into the kitchen, and then began to get busy.

Gu Jian stood aside and watched silently. After thinking of something, he quickly turned around and went to his pharmacy. After a while, he took the angelica and astragalus from his collection and said, "Put some of this."

Yi over rice flower noodles: "Okay, then I'll just make a medicated meal."

After a while, Daohua put the black-bone chicken out of the kitchen, and saw that there were only grandmother and grandmother in the yard, and asked: "Where is the strange master?"

The old mother-in-law nodded her chin toward the last room on the west side: "It's in his pharmacy."

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

Lived here for so long, she has not been in the pharmacy yet.

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

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

Gu Jian glanced at her and saw that she walked directly in, frowning, his expression was a bit dissatisfied, but in the end he didn't say anything.

After entering the house, Daohua realized that she had come in without asking for the advice of the strange master. She stood there with a look of embarrassment and hesitated whether to go out and do it again.

"What are you doing? Come over and I will test you and see how many medicinal materials you know?"

Hearing this, Daohua straightened her chest and walked over with confidence.

Don’t talk about what she learned in the previous life, even in this life, she often reads with medical books. Regarding all kinds of traditional Chinese medicine, she does not say that she has learned a lot, but she definitely knows it.

Gu Jian tried to teach Daohua and found that this girl really knows a lot, and she also knows the functions of medicinal materials very well.

Daohua’s eyes have not been idle. When Gu Jian was teaching her, she noticed the colorful bottles and cans in the corner of the pharmacy: "Master, are those medicines made by you?"

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

Daohua nodded quickly: "The strange master's medical skills are so high. If I can learn a few points, it will be useful for life."

"High medical skills?"

A trace of irony passed through Gu Jian’s eyes, can it not be high?

Since he was three years old, he was arrested and became a medicine slave of the Ninth-Five Lord. He hadn't known how many medicines he had taken in his entire life. In order to survive, he had to work hard to study medicine.

Sometimes he himself wonders, it is a miracle that he can live till now.

Inahua was silent when he saw him, thinking that he was unwilling to teach herself. Although she felt a little lost, she didn't care too much. She knew that in this ancient times, everyone valued what they learned very seriously, and they had to be told by their children.

"Master Weird, then I will go out first!"

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

Hearing this, Daohua was taken aback, and then she was full of 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, and she was stopped by Mrs. Yan as soon as she walked into the yard.

Daohua smiled and stepped forward: "Grandma, what's the matter?"

Yan old lady: "Why do you always go to the ancient master pharmacy these days?"

Daohua smiled and replied: "The strange master is teaching me medical skills!"

The old lady Yan's face moved, and she said displeased: "You girl, why are you so unruly?"

The ancient master's medical skills are good, and he is known to all the villages in his hometown. This kind of ability is regarded as a family inheritance. It is too unruly for the granddaughter to take the initiative to learn other people's skills.

Granny Gu smiled indifferently: "It's okay, Xiao Jian quite likes this girl, and she is willing to teach her medical skills."

The old lady Yan still had some disapproval on her face, knowing that this girl likes to study medicine, she thought about it and said: "If you want to learn the skills of the ancient master, you should first go to the teacher."

"what?!"

Daohua was stunned.

She really didn't think about this, but when she was told by her grandmother, she remembered it. This era seems to be true. To learn other people's skills, you must first go to a teacher.

On the side, the old woman's eyes flashed, and then her face slowly moved unexpectedly.

Her body, she knows that she can still survive these years. One is relying on Xiao Jiantian's uninterrupted medicine; the other is that she still has a little extravagant hope in her heart, wanting to see her son again.

Now, as she gets older, plus the last time she fell into the water, her body is getting worse every day. She really doesn’t know how long she can live.

What if Xiaojian is alone if she dies?

Daohua is a kind-hearted girl and she knows her gratitude. If Xiaojian can accept her as an apprentice, she will definitely respect Xiaojian. Even if she is dead, Xiaojian can also have a support.

Thinking of this, the gaze of the old lady looking at Daohua became more and more eager.

"me."

Hearing the movement in the courtyard, Gu Jian walked out of the pharmacy. Seeing Daohua hesitating, he immediately sank his face: "Why, shouldn't I be your master?"

Daohua shook her head again and again: "I didn't mean it, I just think that you seem to be at a disadvantage when you are my master. At your age, you should be my master."

Seeing her say this, the three old people were all speechless.
