【V087】Southern Border Gu Master
Mr. Xiao Wu has been away from Beijing for so long, but he didn't know that Xiao Zhenting had moved to Lianhua Village. After he returned to Beijing, he immediately went to Xiao Mansion. He was in a hurry to go on the road, and the people were in a mess. The housekeeper asked him to rest for a while and went into the village to report the news to Xiao Zhenting and Shangguan Yan.
Shangguan Yan instantly felt that her waist was no longer hurt. She had been turning over for two days, but she was almost unable to get out of bed.
"Where is the doctor? Take me to see him!" she said anxiously.
"I've placed it in the mansion." said the housekeeper, "Are you going to take the young master back to the mansion now?"
Although Yan Jiuchao did not recognize Xiao Zhenting as his stepfather, Xiao Zhenting recognized him, so everyone in the mansion respectfully called him "Young Master".
Xiao Zhenting pondered for a moment and said, "Don't worry, I'll talk about it when I meet Master Gu."
In order to cure the disease of the Yan Jiu Dynasty over the years, he has found countless famous doctors, including many of them who have gained fame. If the Gu Master was just a half-baked man, why bother to let the child go in vain?
Xiao Zhenting said to Shangguan Yan: "You are here to take care of the children, and I will come back soon."
It wasn't that she really asked her to take care of Yan Jiuchao, but that Xiao Zhenting was worried that Master Gu would tell me what the result was unbearable for her.
"You go with me." Xiao Zhenting said to Yu Wan on the side.
Yu Wan nodded and set off with Xiao Zhenting.
The housekeeper didn't know Yu Wan, and he secretly wondered who this girl was, why was she brought by her own marshal? And looking at her wife's appearance, she didn't seem to object.
The housekeeper dared not ask, and sat in the outer seat with the coachman.
The village was left far behind, and the carriage drove into Lianhua Town. It was late at night and the town was silent, leaving only the sound of rapid horse hooves and the sound of turning wheels.
Yu Wan sat quietly in the carriage, beside her was this burly man as strong as a mountain.
If Xiao Zhenting's facial features are not bad, and he is even very strong and handsome, he has an aura that unknowingly crushes thousands of troops.
He dared to ride in a carriage with the marshal. The butler shook his head. He was probably scared and fainted, right?
"Can you ask how Master Xiao Wu found Master Gu?"
Yu Wan's voice suddenly rang, and the butler's body shook, almost not falling from the carriage!
The girl was not angry, her voice was not trembling, and she looked so strange that she was not scared by her own marshal at all!
"What are you asking?" Xiao Zhenting spoke heavily.
Look, his marshal is so fierce. The housekeeper patted him carefully and told him all the news from Master Xiao Wu.
It turned out that Master Xiao Wu sneaked into southern Xinjiang.
The relationship between Southern Xinjiang and the Great Zhou was not a stalemate, but Mr. Xiao Wu was an official and was not allowed to leave the Great Zhou at will. He was worried about leaving this matter to others, so he had to take the risk of beheading him.
The Gu Master is from Southern Xinjiang and is well-known in the local area. Mr. Xiao Wu spent a lot of money to invite people from Southern Xinjiang. This is just a medical fee. To cure the Yan Jiu Dynasty, additional remuneration is required.
Remuneration is a trivial matter, and the Xiao family does not lack money.
It was the Gu Master who was arrogant and arrogant and not easy to get along with. Master Xiao Wu asked them to serve him carefully.
Xiao Zhenting nodded. As long as he could cure Yan Jiuchao's illness, everything would be easy to discuss.
At midnight, the carriage arrived at Xiao Mansion.
The housekeeper knew that her surname was Yu, so he called out "Miss Yu, please."
Yu Wan followed the master and servant into the mansion.
The Xiao Mansion in the night is like a sleeping giant beast.
When Yu Wan entered the Xiao family for the first time, her first feeling was that it was larger than the Young Master's Mansion. I heard from the butler that half of it was expanded by Shangguan Yan after passing through the door. Shangguan Yan loves to show off, and there is nothing wrong with it.
"Master Gu lives in Tingtao Pavilion with his two disciples." The butler was leading the way with a lantern.
When passing through a corridor in a garden, a pair of masters and servants came towards him, a maid wearing green armor with lanterns. Behind her was a slender girl. The girl was wearing a pink dress, looking only fifteen or sixteen years old. The two looked hurried and collided with Yu Wan and her group.
The housekeeper saluted in surprise: "Miss Second Miss?"
The girl called Second Miss obviously did not expect to meet the housekeeper and Xiao Zhenting here. She was shocked: "Second... Second Uncle?"
She called Xiao Zhenting's second uncle, and then she was the girl from the big house.
Yu Wan has always known that Xiao Zhenting has an older brother on his head, Xiao Yan's biological father. This girl, who is probably Xiao Yan's biological sister.
"It's so late, where are you going?" Xiao Zhenting asked.
The girl said in a cold state: "Mother's head is in a state of wind again, I'll go see her."
Xiao Zhenting nodded: "Go."
The girl went away tremblingly.
When he passed by Yu Wan, Yu Wan glanced at her. Somehow, Yu Wan felt that this girl looked familiar, as if she had seen her somewhere, but if she thought about it carefully, the other party was a girl from the Xiao family. How could she have met her before?
When we caught up with Xiao Zhenting and the butler, we walked out of the corridor.
On the other side, the girl turned around and looked in Yu Wan's direction.
The maid said, "Miss Second, what's wrong with you?"
The girl murmured, "Nothing."
...
Tingtao Pavilion was built on an artificial lake and is one of the best scenic houses in the mansion. When they walked across the wooden bridge and arrived at Tingtao Pavilion, Gu Master was losing his temper at the servants in the mansion.
"It's so unpalatable! Are you feeding the pigs?"
"You master traveled thousands of miles to invite me to eat this kind of pig food?"
It turned out that the food was not suitable for the taste. No wonder the chefs in the mansion were all native to the capital. They had never been to southern Xinjiang and did not know the taste of the southern Xinjiang people. Instead, they asked him about the taboos, but he didn't say anything, just let the chef watch the cook, but he was dissatisfied with it again after the cook made it.
The housekeeper was sweating coldly. What Master Xiao Wu said was true. This Gu Master is really hard to serve!
Xiao Zhenting entered the yard.
The servants all stepped forward to salute: "Master!"
Xiao Zhenting said calmly: "You retreat first."
"Yes." The people left the yard with relief.
"You go down too." Master Gu said to the housekeeper.
"Yes." The housekeeper agreed.
Xiao Zhenting took Yu Wan to the Gu Master's wing room. Gu Master sat in a angrily manner on the chair. This was a middle-aged man with a slightly tall cheekbones, cold eyebrows and a slightly mean face. Behind him, there was a young man with beautiful eyes and a beautiful girl. They must be a pair of disciples of Gu Master, and there was a woman. Yu Wan was slightly surprised.
"Master Gu." Xiao Zhenting greeted him politely.
The Gu Master looked at Xiao Zhenting, and a hint of surprise flashed through his eyes. He didn't expect Xiao Zhenting would be such a burly and powerful man, but after all, he was a knowledgeable Gu Master. He took the surprise away in just a moment and snorted: "Are you Xiao Zhenting? Did you ask me to treat your son?"
"Yes." Xiao Zhenting sat down on the chair, "You can sit too."
This was said to Yu Wan.
Yu Wan sat down beside him.
The Gu Master looked at Yu Wan strangely, but did not ask who Yu Wan was. It didn't matter who Yu Wan was. Xiao Zhenting was the one who made a deal with him. Instead, the two apprentices behind him couldn't help but look at Yu Wan more.
"I heard from Master Xiao Wu about your son's illness." Master Gu said.
"You may be cured?" Xiao Zhenting asked.
The Gu Master sneered and said arrogantly: "What can't I do? Do I cheat and drink? The food in your mansion is so unpalatable!"
Still remembering the revenge of food.
Yu Wan has read a lot of medical books over the past few days, but she has never found a way to relieve the poison curse. She really wants to see how capable this Gu master is.
The Gu Master took a sip of tea and said, "I'll just agree that I can't treat your son for nothing."
Xiao Zhenting nodded: "This is natural, the reward will be available for you."
The Gu Master shouted, shook his sleeves, and said, "The Marshal of the Military and Horses is so angry. Are you not afraid of me asking you to do anything that is harmful to the world?"
Xiao Zhenting frowned.
The Gu Master waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, you're scared, but your son is not an ordinary poisonous curse. The cost of curse removal is a bit high. I can't charge you less for the reward, 100,000 taels, and a single son cannot be left."
Yu Wan gasped!
One hundred thousand taels of silver, this is too big a lion's mouth!
"Gold." said Gu Master.
Yu Wan's eyes were wide open. Does this guy know what he was talking about? One hundred thousand taels of gold? Is he going to empty the national treasury?
The Gu Master smiled faintly and said, "The life of the Young Master Yan City is not worth even this price, right?"
Chapter completed!
