V2.Chapter 87

Fifth Master Xiao had been away from Beijing for so long, I didn’t know that Xiao Zhenting had moved to Lianhua Village. He went to Xiao Mansion immediately after returning to Beijing. Shangguan Yan reported the news.

Shangguanyan instantly felt that her waist didn't hurt anymore. After two days of turning over, she was almost unable to get out of bed.

"Where is the doctor? Take me to see him!" she said anxiously.

"I've placed it in the mansion." The housekeeper said, "Are you taking the young master back to the mansion now?"

Although Yan Jiuchao did not recognize Xiao Zhenting as his stepfather, Xiao Zhenting recognized him, so all the people in the house respected him as a young master.

Xiao Zhenting pondered for a moment, then said, "Don't worry, I'll talk when I see the Gu Master."

Over the years, in order to cure Yan Jiuchao's illness, he did not know how many famous doctors he had sought, and many of them had gained a false reputation. If that Gu Master was only half-assed, why bother the child?

Xiao Zhenting said to Shangguan Yan, "You are here to take care of the children, and I will be back soon."

It wasn't that she really wanted to take care of Yan Jiuchao, but Xiao Zhenting was worried that the Gu Master would say something that would make her unbearable.

"You go with me." Xiao Zhenting said to Yu Wan who was beside him.

Yu Wan nodded and set off with Xiao Zhenting.

The housekeeper didn't know Yu Wan, so he secretly wondered who this girl was, and why was he brought by his grand marshal? And looking at the appearance of the lady, it seems that there is no objection.

The butler dared not to ask, and sat on the outer seat with the driver.

The village was left far behind, and the carriage drove into Lotus Town. It was late at night, and the town was silent, except for the sound of hurried horse hooves and the sound of turning wheels.

Yu Wan sat quietly in the carriage, next to this burly man like a mountain.

To say that Xiao Zhenting's facial features are not bad, even very resolute and handsome, but he has an aura that unknowingly crushes thousands of troops.

He dared to ride in a carriage with the marshal, and the butler shook his head, 80% of them fainted?

"Can I ask Fifth Master Xiao how he found the Gu Master?"

Yu Wan's voice suddenly sounded, the butler's body trembled, and he almost fell off the carriage!

This girl didn't pant or tremble, and she didn't seem to be frightened by her own marshal. It was really strange!

"What about you?" Xiao Zhenting said solemnly.

Look, the marshal of his family is so fierce, the butler patted his mouth carefully, and told the news from the fifth master Xiao.

It turned out that Fifth Master Xiao had sneaked into the southern border.

The relationship between Nanjiang and Dazhou is not a stalemate, but the fifth master Xiao is an official, and he is not allowed to leave Dazhou at will. He is worried about leaving this matter to others, so he has to take the risk of beheading for a trip. .

That Gu Master is from the Southern Border, and he is well-known locally. Fifth Master Xiao spent a lot of money to invite people from the Southern Border. This is just a doctor's fee. To cure Yan Jiuchao, Additional fee must be paid.

Remuneration is a trivial matter, and the Xiao family is not short of money.

It was that Gu Master who was arrogant and arrogant, and was not easy to get along with, so Fifth Master Xiao asked them to be careful.

Xiao Zhenting nodded, as long as he could cure Yan Jiuchao's illness, everything was negotiable.

At midnight, the carriage arrived at Xiao Mansion.

The housekeeper knew her surname was Yu and called out "Miss Yu, please".

Yu Wan entered the mansion with the master and servant.

The Xiao Mansion in the night is like a sleeping giant beast.

When Yu Wan entered Xiao's house for the first time, the first impression was that it was bigger than the young master's mansion. He heard from the housekeeper that half of it was expanded after Shangguanyan passed the door.

"Gu Master and his two disciples live in Tingtao Pavilion." The housekeeper led the way with a lantern.

When passing through a corridor in a garden, a pair of master and servant walked towards them, a maid in green armor holding a lantern, and behind her was a slender girl, dressed in pink, looking However, at the age of fifteen or sixteen, the two of them hurriedly bumped into Yu Wan's group.

The housekeeper bowed in surprise: "Second Miss?"

The girl who was called Second Young Lady obviously did not expect to meet the housekeeper and Xiao Zhenting here, she was shocked: "Second...Second Uncle?"

She called Xiao Zhenting's second uncle, so she was a girl from the big house.

Yu Wan has always known that Xiao Zhenting has an older brother who is Xiao Yan's biological father, and this girl is Xiao Yan's biological sister.

"It's so late, where are you going?" Xiao Zhenting asked.

The girl kept silent and said, "Mother has a headache again, I'll go see her."

Xiao Zhenting nodded: "Go."

The girl went away tremblingly.

When passing by Yu Wan, Yu Wan glanced at her. For some reason, Yu Wan vaguely felt that this girl was a little familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere, but thinking about it carefully, the other party was a girl from the Xiao family, how could she possibly be? Will you ever meet her?

After catching up with Xiao Zhenting and the housekeeper, he stepped out of the corridor.

On the other side, the girl looked back in Yu Wan's direction.

The maid said, "Second miss, what's wrong with you?"

The girl murmured, "Nothing."

...

Tingtao Pavilion was built on an artificial lake and was one of the most beautiful houses in the mansion. When they crossed the wooden bridge and arrived at Tingtao Pavilion, the Gu Master was throwing a tantrum at the servants in the mansion.

"So unpalatable! Feed the pigs?"

"Your master invited me from thousands of miles just to give me this kind of pig food?!"

It turned out that the food didn't go well. No wonder the cooks in the house were born and raised in the capital. They had never been to the southern border, so they didn't know the taste of the southern borders, but they asked him about the taboos, but he didn't say anything, just let the cook see. He tried to do it, but the cook did it, and he was dissatisfied again.

The housekeeper broke into a cold sweat, what Xiao Wuye said was true, this Gu Master is really difficult to serve!

Xiao Zhenting entered the courtyard.

The servants stepped forward and saluted: "Master!"

Xiao Zhenting said indifferently: "You guys step back first."

"Yes." The people left the courtyard in relief.

"Go down too." Gu Master said to the housekeeper.

"Yes." The butler responded.

Xiao Zhenting took Yu Wan to Gu Master's wing. Gu Master sat on the chair angrily. This was a thin middle-aged man with slightly high cheekbones, gloomy eyebrows, and a slightly mean face. Behind him, standing Yu Wan was slightly surprised that a young man with clear eyes and a beautiful girl was a pair of Gu Master's disciples.

"Gu Master." Xiao Zhenting greeted politely.

The Gu Master looked at Xiao Zhenting, and there was a trace of surprise in his eyes, as if he did not expect Xiao Zhenting to be such a burly and powerful man, but after all, he is a well-informed Gu Master, and he was stunned in just a moment. , snorted and said, "You are Xiao Zhenting? Is it you who asked me to treat your son?"

"Yes." Xiao Zhenting sat down on the chair, "You too."

This was said to Yu Wan.

Yu Wan sat down beside him.

Gu Master looked at Yu Wan strangely, but didn't ask who Yu Wan was. In his opinion, it didn't matter who Yu Wan was, Xiao Zhenting was the one who made the deal with him, but the two behind him. The apprentice couldn't help but look at Yu Wan more.

"I heard Fifth Master Xiao say about your son's illness," the Gu Master said.

"Can you cure it?" Xiao Zhenting asked.

The Gu Master sneered, and said immorally, "Why can't you treat me? Are you cheating? The food in your house is so unpalatable!"

Still remembering the grudge of the food.

Yu Wan had read many medical books these days, but she still could not find a way to remove the poison curse. She really wanted to see how capable this Gu Master was.

Gu Master took a sip of tea and said, "Let's talk about it first, I can't treat your son for nothing."

Xiao Zhenting nodded: "This is natural, the reward is up to you."

The Gu Master snorted, brushed his sleeves, and said, "Marshal of the army and horses is so loud, are you not afraid that I will ask you to do something inappropriate?"

Xiao Zhenting frowned.

The Gu Master waved his hands and said, "Don't worry, I'm scaring you, but the one in your son is not an ordinary poison spell, the price of removing the spell is a bit high, I can't take you less for the reward, one hundred thousand taels, not a single penny. ."

Yu Wan took a deep breath!

100,000 taels of silver, this is too big for a lion!

"Gold." Gu Master said.

Yu Wan's eyes widened, does this guy know what he is talking about? One hundred thousand taels of gold? Is he going to empty the treasury?

Gu Master smiled lightly and said, "Young Master Yancheng's life is not worth the price, right?"
