Chen Yu's tall and straight figure, with a refined appearance; also gentle and elegant, with impeccable manners, seemed to be the son of a noble family, and at first glance, it was clear that his social status was not low.
Song Pan'er liked this kind of child the most.
She asked Chen Yu where he came from, what his family did, and where he was going.
"Wan Sheng came from Guangxi. My father used to be a member of the Guangxi Advisory Committee, and later settled in Guangxi, married and had children, and did some small business. Our ancestral home is in Shanxi, and this time I've come thousands of miles away, following my father's orders, to deliver next year's birthday gift to our great uncle in Shanxi, and then go to the capital to seek a living." Chen Yuanchao said slowly.
Guangxi has always been poor and barren. Those who went to Guangxi as a member of the advisory council must have offended someone in the imperial court, which is equivalent to being exiled.
Song Pan'er and Gu Yanwen both understood this layer, and for a moment, neither of them knew what to say.
"...I originally brought two ships of gifts and seven or eight companions, but who knew we encountered robbers! Our things were stolen, and my companions scattered in all directions. Only Chen Bo followed me and escaped to this place. Later, I contracted this strange illness." Chen Yu's tone was not particularly sorrowful, and he spoke calmly.
It's even more heart-wrenching this way.
"Great calamities do not kill, there must be good fortune afterwards. Young master, don't be heartbroken." Song Pan'er comforted him, "Wealth and riches are external things, young master, just look at it as a skill that surpasses others, and you will have a bright future..."
Chen Yu nodded hastily in agreement.
"Guangxi? Isn't it close to Annan country?" Gu Jinzhi suddenly asked, "Is it still peaceful there? Is Annan country like the Tatars, often coming over to plunder you?"
Chen Yu's heart was stirred, and a ripple of waves surged up, stirring up huge billows.
Chen Bo's face changed instantly, and he almost stood up.
Chen Yu's expression flashed, and he smiled: "Not at all! Annan is different from the Tartars. The Tartars are only good at riding horses and herding, nothing else! The people of Annan have a complete range of industries, seventy-two workshops, and the people live in peace and contentment, always getting along with us..."
Gu Jinzhi took in the expressions of the master and servant, and softly hummed a sound.
She smiled quietly with a calm smile at the corner of her lips as she lowered her head and drank tea.
Annan, which is Vietnam in later times.
After the Han Wu Emperor, before this dynasty, Annan was called Jiaozhi, and had been a vassal state of China for hundreds of years. Decades ago, during the war against the Mongols, the Tran family of Annan were brave generals who defended their territory and brought peace to the region, as recorded in historical books.
Later, Chen established the Tr?n Dynasty in Annam and was appointed King of Annam by the Emperor of Heaven.
Annam is a vassal state of the Heavenly Dynasty.
Whenever a new king ascends to the throne of Annan, or when he appoints a crown prince or a queen, it is necessary to report to the Heavenly Dynasty, which then confers the title; otherwise, it would be illegal.
Gu Jinzhi remembered: According to historical records, in the early days of this dynasty, Annan had a vicious coup and a disastrous diplomatic incident. In the end, it was the Heavenly Dynasty that sent troops, and after two years of fierce war, the turmoil in Annan finally came to an end.
She heard that the young man claimed his surname was Chen and he was from Guizhou, she couldn't help but think of that historical record.
They just made a tentative probe and their master and servant relationship was exposed.
It's really strange, why not change the surname and choose a place name that is farther away from Annan country?
Is it foolishness or another purpose?
Why didn't Dr. Qin cure him? He waited patiently for over ten days.
Is it a disturbance in Annan country or is this young master sneaking out to have fun?
Or perhaps they were not people of the Annan royal court at all, but rather wanted to pretend to be princes and nobles of Annan, intentionally claiming to be surnamed Chen, hinting to others that they had achieved their goal?
That reaction just now didn't seem fake either...
Gu Jin's thoughts were slowly turning over in her mind, and she couldn't quite figure some things out.
Anyway, it had nothing to do with her, she thought for a moment and didn't have the interest to know what came next, quietly listening to her parents continue to chat with Chen Gongzi.
"...I heard that the people of Annan are very fierce, has Mr. Chen been to Annan?" Gu Yanwen was interested in this topic.
"We do some small business at home, been there once or twice." Chen Gongzi's mood has calmed down, and his answer is much more fluent. "The people we come into contact with are ordinary civilians. Like us, they also value harmony above all else, whether they are fierce or not is unknown. It's just that there aren't many rules, and they live a bit more freely..."
His tone was like a young master from a family of poets who had been restricted for a long time and yearned for freedom.
Normally, he is also quite constrained, yearning for the freedom of ordinary people?
Gu Yanzhong and others did not suspect anything else.
They exchanged some ordinary words, and considering that Chen Gongzi's voice had just recovered, Qin Taishi suggested he go back to rest.
Mr. Chen followed his words, stood up and bid farewell, and also wanted to give Gu Jin a few hundred silver tickets as a medical fee.
He talked about so many miserable experiences, would Gu Yanwen and his wife want his money?
After some polite refusals back and forth, Mr. Chen had no choice but to put away the silver note, bowing again and expressing his gratitude.
After seeing off Chen Gongzi, Gu Yunzhong stayed behind to talk with Gu Jin.
Gu Jing was thinking of going back to the courtyard, and Huan Ge was still waiting for her return, so she reluctantly got up to leave.
"...... Jing Jie, your medical skills, are they really learned from Grandfather?" Gu Yanjin's face turned stern, his voice somewhat severe in inquiry.
An ordinary girl would have been scared to tears by him.
Gu Jinzhi was also slightly stunned, and then asked in confusion: "Who else can I learn from? Father, why are you asking this? Don't you believe that Grandfather's medical skills are good?"
Not even a little guilty conscience existed.
It was Gu Yunzhen who was stunned, and he didn't know what to say next.
Is he suspecting that Gu Jin is too stupid to learn the old master's craftsmanship, or is he suspecting that the old master doesn't have the skills in the first place?
No matter what it is, it can't be said out loud.
He suddenly felt himself being cornered by Gu Jingzhou!
Gu Jinzhi saw that he had nothing to say, so she smiled and bowed to Gu Yanzhen and Song Pan'er: "Dad, Mom, I'll go back first. Hope Mom makes me a cow's milk mung bean cake!"
"Go!" Song Pan'er smiled, "It's hot on the road, let the servants carry the sedan chair and hurry up, don't get heatstroke."
The way of Gu Zhen is righteousness.
As soon as Gu Yu heard this, Song Pan'er's face fell, and she asked in a cold voice: "Third Master, what did you mean by that? Is it that Third Master is unhappy because Sister Jin has made progress?"
Gu Yanxun felt a bit guilty, coughed and said: "...... You don't know the situation! Yesterday that Chen Gongzi, not a word could be said! Qin Taishang treated him for over ten days without any effect. As for Jin Jie, the prescription was all over the place, not to mention letting people use boiling water to soak the medicine. It's like a child messing around! But Chen Gongzi really let her mess it up..."
"I don't know?" Song Pan'er sneered, "In the past, when Hu Jie was on her last breath, many doctors were helpless, but a few pills from Sister Jin cured her! Third Master, haven't you heard of this? And my elder sister..."
"I thought it was all Master's help..." Gu Jinzhi feared that Song Dang'er would get more and more angry, and immediately said.
"Since the old master can help, it's also a good medical skill!" Song Pantou took a step forward, "Jin sister has been learning for several years and has learned more skills than others, what's wrong with that? What did Third Master mean by his words just now?"
Gu Yanwen was forced by her to be speechless.
He also followed and studied for a few years, but he didn't learn anything.
So he never believed that Gu Jin had superb medical skills.
"So young a child..." Gu Yanwen weakly protested.
"In this world, there are many talented people, why can't my sister be a born genius?" Song Tan'er's voice rose again, "Does Third Master think that I, the Song family, am stupid and cannot give birth to such an intelligent daughter?"
The more he talked, the more outrageous it became, and his anger grew greater.
If we go on like this, I'm afraid it will drag out even more old scores.
Gu Yanwen hurriedly apologized to Song Pan'er.
Song Pan'er refused and turned her face away coldly.
Gu Yanwen had said all sorts of nice things to coax her.
After that, Gu Yanwen still worried about his daughter, thinking that this genius was not a good thing, but he didn't dare to show half of it in front of Song Taner.
In less than two days, I heard that Mr. Chen had bought a small house in Yangling Mansion and moved in.
This is surprising indeed.
Gu Jin was shocked and then thought of Ming Hui Gong Zhu. If there were disturbances in Annan, and they needed to go to the capital to report to the Emperor, without someone to introduce them, they might not even be able to get through the palace gates!
Thinking of this, he claimed his surname was Chen and emphasized that he came from Guizhou, and let Qin Shen trouble him for over ten days, all of which had an explanation.
He wanted to get the princess's attention.
It just didn't occur to me that it would first catch Gu Jinzhi's attention.
Involved in disputes, Gu Jinzi was very displeased.
She just wants to live a peaceful life.
After a few days, Chen Gongzi came to the door asking for a re-examination, but Gu Jinzhi declined, citing his busy schedule.
By July 25th, the eldest brother of the Beijing city's uncle had arrived at Yanling Fu.
