The room is silent.
In a few moments, Gu Yi lifted his feet and went over to sit down, “Father, you sit too.”
Master Gu looked at the woman and then at him, and hesitated slightly for a moment before sitting down.
Gu Yi made a gesture of invitation and the woman also sat down, “I wonder what kind of person Sir Gu is asking me to teach?”
“It’s the little girl I’m betrothed to.”
A hint of surprise surfaced on the woman’s cool face and receded instantly, “You’re so young, Sir Gu, and you’re betrothed?”
“Well, it was the one I fell in love with on my own, and I used some tricks to trick the person into it.”
“You ……”
The woman was genuinely surprised this time.
“Aunt …… girl take a good look at her in a moment, a very clever little girl, beautiful, capable, courageous, knowledgeable, fearless in the face of danger and spooky ……”
Seeing him say this with an unconscious smile floating on his face, the woman’s heart sank a little, “Dare to ask Gu Gongzi, how old is this girl you are talking about.”
“Eight years old.”
Even if the woman had good self-control, she almost jumped up when she heard the word eight.
An eight year old girl, if born in a slightly better home, was only just out of the arms of adults and knew nothing about anything, pretty perhaps, after all that was given to her by her parents, but as for the rest, capable, bold, erudite perhaps not even knowing what it was.
Thinking of this, the woman instantly looked at Master Gu.
The old man was about to stand up reflexively, but when he thought of what the woman had just said, he held back.
Gu Yi took the woman’s reaction in his eyes and narrowed his eyes with a smile, “The girl doesn’t believe?”
“No.”
The woman’s voice sank, with this reaction from Gu Yi, it was obvious that he really liked that girl, which was not a good thing.
“She can cook delicious meals, she can make snacks I’ve never had before, she can refine mint oil, she can make herbal tea, and she can make hot pot bases.”
Gu Yi broke his fingers and said the same thing.
Before his words even landed, Master Gu followed closely and agreed, “Indeed.”
If Gu Yi alone said this, the woman would still hesitate to believe it, but if even Master Gu said this, it must not be a lie.
The woman’s curiosity was aroused, “Where is he? Take me over to see.”
“Good.”
Gu Yi got up and headed out, the woman followed, and Master Gu subconsciously wanted to follow, but just as he was about to get up, he once again thought of the woman’s words and sat still.
This side of the main courtyard was some distance away from Doctor Yao’s side, and Gu Yi did not take the carriage either, leading the woman unhurriedly towards that side, “Little girl is in Doctor Yao’s courtyard, my mother-in-law is not feeling well, she is accompanying her to come for consultation and treatment.”
The woman picked up the message in his words, and seeing as the smile on his face never dissipated, she paused and arrived, “Sir Gu is very fond of this Miss Song?”
“Not very, but very much.”
The woman fell silent and opened her mouth, but nothing came out.
“Come out, little girl, the master I have found for you has arrived.”
One foot had just poked into the threshold when Gu Yi said loudly.
The door of the house was opened at once, and the one who came out was not Song Wangyue, but Doctor Yao.
When Dr. Yao saw the woman, his beard shook with excitement.
The woman, however, looked at him as if she did not know him, and her gaze did not linger on him, but crossed over to him and fell on Song Wangyue.
An eight-year-old girl, not very tall, with skin that glistens like snow, and with a graceful appearance, her eyes are like a vast pool of clear water, transparent and clean, and her body exudes an aura of calmness that does not belong to her age.
Gu Yi beckoned, “Come here, little girl.”
Song Wangyue walked over.
“This is the master I found for you, Miss Chu, to teach you martial arts in the future.”
Miss Chu?
Song Wan Yue didn’t move a muscle as she looked at the woman, she looked to be around thirty, her face was cold, and her body exuded this cold aura, just like the ancient chivalrous women on TV nowadays, holding a sword in her arms.
“I am Song Wangyue.”
She didn’t call out to anyone, but introduced herself.
The woman’s unperturbed expression moved for a moment, taking a little more interest in her. When a normal young girl heard Gu Yi’s introduction, she would surely follow suit and shout out for Miss Chu first, but Song Wangyue didn’t. But Song Wangyue did not. Was she not sure if she would be accepted as a disciple? At such a young age, to have such a penetrating mind was indeed a rare thing.
“Call out to Master.”
Song Wangyue froze slightly.
“I never teach people martial arts for nothing, if you want to learn well from me, you must call me Master.”
“No, she ……”
Yao Daifu eagerly wanted to say something, the woman a faint look look askance over, Yao Daifu immediately shut his mouth.
“Master.”
Song Wangyue shouted crisply.
The woman froze for a moment, then a rare smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, “I’m tired from rushing around for days on end, I’ll perform the worship ceremony tomorrow.”
After the woman finished speaking, she turned around and walked out.
Gu Yi gave a gesture to Xiao Si, who hurriedly followed her, “Please follow me, Miss Chu, the young master has arranged a courtyard for you early in the morning.
Doctor Yao looked at her back and stroked his beard, not knowing what had occurred to him, his eyes lit up, “Miss Song, let’s go to that room, I have something to say to you.”
Gu Yi also wanted to follow, but was stopped by him, “Miss Song and I are talking about medical matters, you won’t understand, young master, you go to the house and take care of Madam.”
Once inside, Doctor Yao closed the door behind him and went to sit on a chair, stroking his beard, “Miss Song, do you want to learn the art of medicine from me, you know that I am not a very good doctor, as long as you want to learn from me, I will teach you all my skills.”
“Conditions?”
“I only have one condition, that is, you must also worship me as your master and call me Master, and in time, if you have a certain status in the medical world, just say that your mastership is mine.”
Song Wangyue held out a finger, “I have a question.”
“Go ahead.”
“Why did your old man suddenly want to teach me the art of healing?”
Doctor Yao stroked his beard and sighed in a serious manner, “I am old and have always wanted to find someone with talent to pass on this medical skill to him, but I have searched for so long but could not find one. I am a servant of the Gu family, so naturally I cannot allow you to worship. But that girl Chu just now irritated me, even she, an outsider, can make you worship, so why can’t I? With my health, I might die before you and the young master can get married.”
Song Wan Yue, ……
With your body and bones, you will have no problem living a long life.
deliberately said, “I’ll have to think about it.”
Dr. Yao sat up straight and stopped stroking his beard, “Why?”
“You’ve forgotten the time when you came to our house and asked for the formula to save Gu Yi’s life, I doubt very much that your medical skills are not as good as what I read from my family’s ancestral medical book.”
