There is Room For the Poor Daughter - Chapter 307

[Chapter 307, apprenticeship]

“Grandmother, old lady, strange master, I’m going down to work!” In the

main room, Mrs. Yan and the three of them were still having breakfast, when they heard Daohua’s energetic voice, their faces showed the same expression. smiled.

Seeing her granddaughter taking Wang Man’er out of the yard in a hurry, Old Madam Yan shook her head helplessly: “This girl is still so frizzy, the old sister laughed at her.” Granny

Gu said with a smile: “That’s the way it is .” Well, it’s neat and tidy, and it makes people feel open.”

Mrs. Yan also likes her granddaughter’s appearance, but when she thinks of the things in the back house that she has been in contact with and heard about these years, she sighs again: “That girl has a temper. If you are too straightforward, I am afraid that she will suffer in the future.”

Gu Jian, who had been eating sullenly, raised his head at this moment, and said: “Don’t worry, old lady, your granddaughter is a monkey, if you provoke her, the one who will suffer is definitely Someone else.”

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

The granddaughter is straightforward, but she also has a lot of tricks. After several girls in the family have been dealt with by her a few times, they don’t dare to provoke her anymore, and they have become more behaved.

No one dared to make trouble in the kitchen entrusted to her.

Even the shrewd and tactful second son and second daughter-in-law never got any favors from that girl.

In the past, she thought that the granddaughter was more powerful, and she would be disliked by her husband’s family when she arrived at her husband’s house, but in the past two years, she heard a lot of twists and turns in the backyard of the rich family, and she thought that the granddaughter was more powerful. .

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

The three of them then had breakfast.

Watching his sister and the old lady of the Yan family chatting and laughing, gossiping about family affairs, the wrinkles between Gu Jian’s brows that had been wrinkled all the year round eased a lot.

Ever since the grandparents of the Yan family came to Peach Blossom Temple, there seemed to be more fireworks here.

In the past, my elder sister would just walk casually on the mountain, but now she would hang out with Mrs. Yan down the mountain. Although she was tired every time she went up and down the mountain, her spirit was much better.

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

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

After staying here for a few days, Mrs. Yan understood Gu Jian’s temperament somewhat. She likes to do everything by herself and doesn’t like others to mess with his things casually, so she took advantage of the situation and sat down.

When I came out this time, considering that Granny Gu and Gu Jian had no servants to serve, she didn’t bring anyone except Wang Man’er, who was accompanying her granddaughter who needed to run errands from time to time.

Although she has been served by maids all these years, but she was born in a farming family, she still likes to do things within her capacity by herself, and she is more comfortable with no one around her.

“The weather in the past two days is good, and the peach blossoms on the mountain are in full bloom. Old sister, let’s go out to digest food.” Mrs. Yan said to Granny Gu with a smile.

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

Although she is not a doctor, she can tell that Sister Gu is in poor health, so she wants her to be more active.

Furthermore, she also felt very sympathetic to the orphaned siblings, who had no children and were not in good health, so she couldn’t help feeling a little pity in her heart.

Grandma Gu smiled and nodded.

During this period of time, the girl Daohua didn’t make any heavy meals. She had a bad appetite, and she could only eat a few mouthfuls of rice per meal before, but now she still feels unsatisfied after eating a bowl.

After eating a lot, she could feel her body becoming lighter.

In the kitchen, Gu Jian watched the two old ladies walking out of the yard slowly with each other’s support, a smile flashed in his eyes, and the speed of washing dishes couldn’t help but a little brisk.

Seeing that there was still a little red rice porridge left in the pot, Gu Jian was not willing to throw it away, scooped it into a bowl and ate it up after a few mouthfuls.

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

No way, it’s not on the market.

Because he wanted to leave the red rice, purple rice, and black rice for his sister to eat, and every time he cooked, he didn’t cook his share. Who knows, once when he was eating cornbread in the kitchen, he was caught by the rice flower. The girl bumped into it.

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

“If you don’t agree, I’ll tell Granny Gu that you only eat cornbread and don’t eat.”

It’s been a long time since I’ve been threatened by anyone, but it’s not a bad feeling.

Under the guidance of Daohua, some short-term laborers who are familiar with farming quickly learned how to grow yams.

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

One day, Qin Xiaoliu went shopping in the county town, and came across someone selling black-bone chickens. Thinking that Mrs. Yan was now living on Peach Blossom Mountain, he bought two to honor them.

When Daohua saw the black-bone chicken, her eyes lit up immediately, and she asked Wang Maner to go back to Peach Blossom Temple with the prepared black-bone chicken. When she saw her grandmother and old mother-in-law sitting in the yard picking vegetables, she said with a smile: “Grandmother, ancient old lady, 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 it delicious.”

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

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

Daohua was overjoyed: “Okay, then I’ll just make it into a medicinal meal.”

After a while, Daohua put the black-bone chicken into the pot and went out of the kitchen. Seeing that there were only grandma and Granny Gu in the yard, she asked, “Where’s the strange master?” Granny

Gu Nodding his chin toward the last room to the west: “It’s in his pharmacy.”

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

After living here for so long, she hasn’t been in a pharmacy yet.

“Wow, you have so many herbs here!”

Looking at the medicine cabinet in the room and smelling the fragrance of medicine in the room, Dao Hua’s eyes widened.

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

After entering the room, Daohua realized that she seemed to have come in without consulting Master Guai, and immediately stood there with an embarrassed face, hesitating whether to go out and do it all over again.

“What are you doing in a daze? Come here and let me test you to see how many medicinal materials you know?”

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

Not to mention what she learned in her previous life, even in this life, she often reads medical books with her hands. She definitely knows all kinds of traditional Chinese medicine, not to mention memorizing them backwards.

Gu Jian studied and taught Daohua, and found that this girl really knew a lot, and she also had a good understanding of the functions of medicinal materials.

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

Looking at Daohua The bright light in Hua’s eyes made Gu Jian feel a little funny, raised his eyebrows and asked, “Want to learn?”

Dao Hua nodded quickly, “It’s strange that Master’s medical skills are so high. If I can learn a few points, I will definitely benefit from it for life.”

“Medical skills High?” A

trace of sarcasm flashed across Gu Jian’s eyes, can he not be high?

Since he was three years old, he has been arrested and made a drug slave to the Ninth Five-Year Lord. He has consumed countless drugs in his life. In order to survive, he had to study medical skills desperately.

Sometimes he wonders to himself, it is really a miracle that he can survive till now.

Seeing that he was silent, Daohua thought that he was unwilling to teach her. Although she felt a little disappointed, she didn’t mind too much. She knew that in this ancient time, everyone took what they learned very seriously, and they must pass it on to their children.

“Strange master, then I’ll go out first!”

Just as 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 for a moment, 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 when she was stopped by Mrs. Yan as soon as she reached the yard.

Daohua smiled and stepped forward: “Grandma, what’s the matter?”

Mrs. Yan: “Why do you go to Master Gu’s pharmacy these days?”

Daohua replied with a smile: “It’s strange that Master is teaching me medical skills!”

The old lady Yan’s complexion moved, and she said displeasedly: “You girl, why are you so unruly?”

Master Gu is good at medicine, and everyone in his hometown knows it. However, it is too rude to go up and learn from other people’s skills.

But Granny Gu smiled indifferently: “It’s okay, Xiao Jian really likes this girl, and I’m willing to teach her medical skills.”

Old Madam Yan still had some disapproval on her face, knowing that this girl likes to study medicine , thought for a while and said: “If you want to learn from Master Gu, you should first learn from him.”

“Ah?!”

Daohua was stunned.

She really hadn’t thought about this, but she remembered it when she was told by her grandmother. It seems that this is really the case in this era. If you want to learn from others, you have to learn from a teacher first.

On the side, Granny Gu’s eyes flickered for a moment, and then a movement slowly appeared on her face.

She knows well about her body that she can survive all these years because of Xiao Jiantian’s uninterrupted medicine;

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

If she died, what would Xiaojian do by himself?

Dao Hua is a kind-hearted girl who knows how to repay her kindness. If Xiao Jian can accept her as an apprentice, she will definitely honor Xiao Jian well. Even if she dies, Xiao Jian can still have someone to rely on.

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

“I, I.”

Hearing the movement in the courtyard, Gu Jian came out of the pharmacy, saw Dao Hua’s hesitation, and immediately darkened his face: “Why, I can’t be your master?”

Dao Hua shook his head again and again: ” I don’t mean that, I just think it seems a bit disadvantageous for you to be my master, and at your age, you should be my master.”

Seeing what she said, the three old people were speechless.
