The Resplendent Farming Apothecary - Chapter 166

Chapter 166 Out for Fresh Air

“Master, I still have the transcribed version of this book. As the saying goes: The sword is given to the hero. This medical book can only play its greatest role in the hands of people who really understand it. Otherwise, it will only be just a tattered book!”

Gu Ye kept a lot of books about medicine in her space, especially those of the antique level, thinking of donating them in the future when the troubled times were over, lest these thousands of years of medical legacy be ruined in vain.

Her plan, however, couldn’t keep up with the changes, and she failed to see the return of the peaceful and prosperous age. Instead, her soul passed through another world. Since she had these books with her, it was better not to waste them. She believed that her Uncle-Master Medical Sage would definitely carry forward this medical treasure.

“Hmph, he can’t get it so cheaply either!” Although Sage Apothecary said so, he still took the “Prescriptions Worth a Thousand Gold”. In his heart, he felt that the other master of his precious disciple was beyond mysterious. He actually gave such a precious medical book to a little girl in a remote village.

Could it be that at the last moment of his life, he picked the most important things to teach and even gave these medical treasures to his disciples as if she was an orphan? If this was the case, he could rest assured that no one would compete with him for his apprentice! You could say that a brain hole has opened up in Sage Apothecary’s head!

Looking at the back of her master as he left, Gu Ye couldn’t help but add another sentence, “Master, help me ask Uncle-Master if I can go out and wander around the capital tomorrow. I’m suffocating in this yard, and I’m getting new illnesses!”

“Silly girl, your Uncle-Master’s meaning is loud and clear. As long as you wear more clothes and protect yourself from catching a cold, you can go out for a walk. Just wait here. I’ll take this book and help you dig more of your Uncle-Master’s valuables and skills. Pulse technique and acupuncture are the specialties of that old chap. If you can learn a thing or two, you will definitely benefit from it for the rest of your life. ” Immediately after, a sinister and cunning laughter trailed after the Sage Apothecary.

The four in the room were left relatively silent. Chu Muhua coughed twice, and said, “It’s rare for two old people to still maintain a heart of gold.”

“Hahaha, maybe the way Uncle-Master and Master express their feelings is different from ordinary people! Funny, aren’t they, Young Master Chu?” Gu Ye gave a couple of laughs.

“Then … we have a deal. Tomorrow at chensi[1], I’ll come and pick you and your brother up.” Chu Muhua cupped his fist and politely left a couple of pleasantries to Gu Xiao before leaving the Tingfeng Garden and back to his own courtyard.

Early the next morning, Gu Ye was awakened by Dong Xue, after which she put on layer upon layer of clothes. If it weren’t for her slender figure, she would definitely have been wrapped into a ball after three layers in and out. T-This was too exaggerated.

“Sister Dong Xue, how many layers are there? If I wear one more thing, I won’t be able to walk.” Gu Ye saw Dong Xue holding another fox fur vest. When she was about to put it on her, she hurriedly stopped her. Didn’t I just wear a piece of rabbit fur?

Dong Xue put down the vest with some displeasure and said softly, “Didn’t Medical Sage say it? Miss, you can’t catch a cold. It’s cold outside, how can you not wear more?”

Only if it is done to a certain extent. Gu Ye felt like she was really going to become a mummy if she were to wear another layer. She couldn’t even bend her arms and legs.

After breakfast, Gu Ye took Dong Xue out of the room. Upon raising her head, she saw the light blue sky of pure blue velvet. It was dotted with large and fluffy snow-white clouds, which contrast with the snow on the ground. After leaving the courtyard and walking towards the outer courtyard, Gu Ye’s heart stirred. She felt like a bird that had been imprisoned for a long time and was about to be released.

Dong Xue quickly caught up with her and draped a thick and warm fox fur cloak on her. Gu Ye only felt a weight on her body — Holy molly, this cloak weighs at least seven or eight catties. No matter how cold the air is, nothing can penetrate it. With the hood on, only her eyes were left exposed. No wonder many ladies in previous lives loved to wear fur, it was really warm.

The Jun family was afraid that Gu Ye’s physique would not be able to withstand shopping, so they specially prepared a carriage, which the Eldest Madam usually used when going out. Gu Ye stepped on the stirrups and boarded the carriage. As expected, there was a brocade quilt inside and a brazier was burning. She couldn’t help muttering deep inside — It’s good to be rich. You’ll have a special carriage with “air conditioning” when going out.

The carriage moved slowly, accompanied by Gu Xiao and Chu Muhua on horseback. The most exasperating one was Gu Ming, the brat. He said that the carriage was for ladies, and so he also got a horse from the Jun Residence and rode on it. Look at that little smug guy. How could riding a horse be more comfortable than riding a carriage with a brazier in a day with a temperature of minus ten degrees?

Gu Ye opened a slit from the curtains of the carriage and looked outside with great interest. The Jun Manor was in the east of Yan City, which was obviously not part of the downtown area. Perhaps because of the cold weather, there were few pedestrians on the streets, and the front doors of the shops on both sides were empty. After watching the scenery for a while, Gu Ye got bored.
