Also, many thanks to everyone who bought me coffee (*≧∀≦*)
This calligraphy copybook was more precious than the imperial writing brush back then. The Emperor thought that the little miracle physician would definitely like it.
But when the little miracle physician saw the calligraphy copybook, her face immediately turned black.
Just what grudges did the Emperor have with her?
She just gave him a cold shoulder. Was it necessary for him to take revenge on her like this?
Gu Jiao impatiently scratched her head before her little fist punched the calligraphy copybook.
Eunuch Wei was startled!
"Big sis! We're back!"
It was Gu Xiaoshun's voice.
Gu Jiao immediately calmed down, stood up and walked towards the door.
Gu Xiaoshun jumped down from the carriage with big and small bags of things in his hands, and so did Gu Yan.
That’s right. He could jump now.
This was the new carriage bought by their Granduncle, and the coachman was Gu Yan's Dark Guard A.
Behind the two of them was another carriage, which looked a bit unfamiliar.
A middle-aged man in a grayish white robe got off the carriage, and then he opened the curtain and helped a woman wearing a white belted silk dress alight the carriage.
The woman had a graceful figure and a light posture, with a pair of hands that were as beautiful as carved jade.
Her attire wasn’t luxurious, and she only had a simple bun on her head with a wooden hairpin as the only ornament.
She wore a veil, only revealing her smooth and full forehead and a pair of serene and wise eyes.
"That's Master and Master's wife." Gu Yan introduced them to Gu Jiao.
This was the first time Gu Jiao had met her two younger brothers' master and mistress. She knew that one of them was called Master Lu and the other was Nan Xiang.
Master Lu looked relatively ordinary, but Nan Xiang was quite stunning. Her every move exuded the aura of an aristocratic lady, but at the same time, she did not lose the heroic spirit of a martial arts practitioner.
The two of them walked up to Gu Jiao.
Nan Xiang smiled and said, "You're Xiaoshun and Ah Yan's sister, right? My name is Nan Xiang." She pulled Master Lu's hand and said, "This is my husband, surnamed Lu. If you don't mind, you can call him Big Uncle Lu."
Gu Jiao: "..."
The group entered the house, and Gu Jiao introduced Master Lu, Nan Xiang, and Eunuch Wei to each other.
"Greetings, Eunuch Wei." Nan Xiang greeted with a smile.
Eunuch Wei looked at Nan Xiang and felt that her eyes were somewhat familiar, as if he had seen them somewhere before.
Yao Shi and Grannie Fang had gone for a walk in the orchard, Little Jing Kong was also out playing, and Xiao Liulang and Old Chief were working overtime at the Hanlin Academy and the Imperial Academy.
Gu Jiao invited everyone to the main room.
Gu Xiaoshun carried big and small bags of gifts given by Master Lu and Nan Xiang. Gu Jiao, who had lived two lifetimes, could swear she had only seen students give gifts to teachers, but never the other way around.
Gu Xiaoshun sat right next to Nan Xiang.
Nan Xiang smiled at Gu Jiao and said, "To be frank, we came this time to discuss something with Young Miss Gu. You see, I really like Xiaoshun and want to adopt him as my son. I wonder if Young Miss Gu can give us her consent? Please don't misunderstand. I don't dislike Ah Yan, but Ah Yan has his parents with him. I don’t think it’s appropriate to rob the parents of their son. As for Xiaoshun, I already know his situation. His parents aren't in the capital."
Nan Xiang's words were actually quite tactful. His parents weren’t in the capital? More like Gu Xiaoshun's parents didn't want him at all. When Gu Jiao took away this good-for-nothing son and bought out his relationship with the Gu Family for twenty taels of silver, Gu Xiaoshun's parents were overjoyed beyond words.
Nan Xiang had learned about these things from Gu Yan and felt even more sorry for Gu Xiaoshun.
Gu Jiao looked at Gu Xiaoshun and was surprised. She didn't expect Nan Xiang to like him so much.
To put it bluntly, if they were all at the orphanage together, Gu Xiaoshun would have been the last one to be adopted.
Gu Jiao asked, "Xiaoshun, what do you think about this?"
"I'll listen to big sis." Gu Xiaoshun said obediently.
This guy was also not very clever. Gu Jiao rephrased the question, "Do you like Lady Nan Xiang and Master Lu?"
"I like them." Gu Xiaoshun replied without hesitation.
Gu Jiao continued, "If they become too old to support themselves in the future, would you be willing to take care of them?"
Gu Xiaoshun puffed out his chest and said, "Once a teacher, always a father. My master and master's wife are already like my own parents. Of course, I will take care of them!"
Gu Xiaoshun had been his little brother for so long, and this was the most eloquent thing Gu Jiao had ever heard from him.
Gu Jiao almost understood what he was thinking inside.
In fact, there was nothing wrong with having two more people who cared for Gu Xiaoshun.
Gu Jiao was happy to see it so she nodded, "Good, then listen to me. Why don't you go and pour tea for your adoptive father and mother?"
Gu Xiaoshun was stunned, "Ah?"
"Oh!" Gu Yan nudged his shoulder with his small shoulder and said, "Sister agreed!"
"She, she, she… She agreed?" Gu Xiaoshun was so surprised that he stuttered.
In fact, he only found out about it today as well, and he still hadn't digested the news himself. But now he was... someone else's son?
Nan Xiang was the happiest.
She had been longing for Xiaoshun for a long time, and now he could finally take him back as her own son without guilt!
Eunuch Wei did not expect to encounter such a happy occasion while delivering things to Bishui Alley. He didn't know that Gu Xiaoshun's past background was so pitiful.
Suddenly, he also felt sorry for Gu Xiaoshun.
"Come here, Xiaoshun!" He waved to Gu Xiaoshun.
"What’s up?" Gu Xiaoshun walked over.
Eunuch Wei took off the embroidered pouch around his waist and pulled out a purse from inside. He then took out a piece of gold leaf from the purse and said, "Here you go."
"Why are you giving this to me?" Gu Xiaoshun refused to take it.
Eunuch Wei wanted to say, ‘it’s a congratulatory gift for becoming someone's son,’ but it didn't sound quite right. He cleared his throat and said, "It's a gift, a gift, do you understand? Just take it when I’m giving it to you!"
He really didn't know what to tell him.
"I don't want it."
Gu Xiaoshun firmly refused to accept it.
Eunuch Wei said with a tut, "Oh, you child, you’re looking down on my gift, is that it?"
Gu Xiaoshun said stubbornly, "I’m not looking down on it, I just can't accept it! Big sis said we can't just take other people's things!"
Eunuch Wei tried to stuff the gold leaf into his hand, but Gu Xiaoshun pushed it back.
Nan Xiang walked over and asked, "What's going on?"
Eunuch Wei took this opportunity to stuff the gold leaf into Gu Xiaoshun's arms.
Gu Xiaoshun picked up the gold leaf and said, "Eunuch Wei wanted to give me this, but I don't want it."
Nan Xiang smiled and took the gold leaf. She was about to return it to Eunuch Wei when she suddenly smelled an unusual fragrance.
She frowned, put the gold leaf before her nose and sniffed it.
"What's wrong?" Eunuch Wei asked.
Nan Xiang's eyes flickered, and she said with a smile, "This gold leaf is so unique, it looks and feels like the real thing. Do you have more of them, Eunuch Wei? Can I borrow one to take a closer look?"
"Yes, I have more! They're all here!" Eunuch Wei handed over a purse of gold leaves that Grannie Cai had given him.
Nan Xiang casually flipped through the gold leaves in the purse, then made a small scratch with her fingertip, saying, "Oh dear, I'm sorry, my nails are too long and I accidentally scratched the purse."
Eunuch Wei said with a laugh, "It doesn't matter, it's just a purse!"
Nan Xiang asked, "Is this purse yours, Eunuch Wei? The pattern is so beautiful."
Eunuch Wei answered, "It was a gift from the master of the palace. If Madame Lu likes it, I can ask if there are more."
Nan Xiang said with a smile, "That's not necessary. I broke this one, so I'll buy you a new one."
"No, that’s not necessary!" Eunuch Wei responded.
Gu Jiao noticed that something was off and looked at Nan Xiang.
Nan Xiang smilingly said, "Young Miss Gu, do you have a needle and thread? I accidentally broke Eunuch Wei's purse and I want to fix it for him."
"I have some, please follow me." Gu Jiao replied.
The two of them entered the east room.
Gu Jiao closed the door and asked, "Is something wrong?"
Nan Xiang took out the purse, tore it open, and a pile of dry flower fragments fell out from between the layers.
Gu Jiao picked up a piece of dry flower and sniffed it, saying, "It smells so good. What kind of flower is this?"
Nan Xiang said, "This isn't a flower, it's a type of herb that grows in the State of Yan. It's originally tasteless and odorless, but when soaked in herbal juice, it emits a fragrance similar to that of a flower."
Gu Jiao asked, "Is there something wrong with this herb?"
Nan Xiang answered, "There's nothing wrong with it itself, but after it is soaked, it becomes a type of medicine guide."
"Medicine guide?" Gu Jiao furrowed her brow.
Nan Xiang looked at Gu Jiao firmly and said, "It can make someone develop good feelings towards someone else or hatred towards someone else. Has this eunuch suddenly become particularly close to someone or particularly hated someone?"
Eunuch Wei hadn’t… But His Majesty had!Raz P.'s Thoughts
