Chapter 439: Chapter 449: The Letter to Him

Gu Youyou slightly lowered her eyes and said, "Master never mentioned Doctor Cao, but I know that our eldest senior brother who was expelled by Master has the surname Cao. Coincidentally, he went to Yangguan City to open a clinic, so... I took a chance and it turned out to be that very Doctor Cao."

"You..." Cao Tianyou seemed stunned for a moment. This woman... testing guests like this, it’s a good thing it was him, but what if it hadn’t been?

But moments later, he burst into laughter, looked at Gu Youyou for a long time, and then added, "Master’s discernment has become even sharper."

Gu Youyou curled her lips, remaining silent.

Actually, Doctor Zhou had never seen her, and of course, she would not tell him that.

This was a disciple that Master wanted to protect, apparently valuing him very much. Gu Youyou didn’t delve too much into those topics that shouldn’t be mentioned and got straight to the point.

"Doctor Cao, I heard you plan to purchase a large quantity of goods?"

Cao Tianyou said, "I have seen the cough suppressant and anti-diarrheal packs you offer, but I am not very familiar with your products. However, I trust the name ’Jisheng Hall,’ so this time I have come indeed to learn more about the remedies. I wonder if Jisheng Hall could provide a long-term supply?"

He trusted the name Jisheng Hall despite not understanding the products; he must actually trust Doctor Zhou.

Gu Youyou smiled and said, "Since you haven’t seen them, let’s take a look together. I hope my customers purchase after understanding the medicines."

"Oh, of course, that’s good."

"Please, Doctor Cao!"

The factory operations were proceeding in an orderly fashion, and Gu Youyou took Doctor Cao on a tour, casually handing him some finished medicine packs to inspect.

When she turned around, she found that Doctor Cao seemed more interested in those peculiar instruments.

Everyone has a sense of curiosity, and Gu Youyou didn’t rush him, standing aside waiting as he looked.

Such items had never been seen by outsiders, and even Jin Zijin had been surprised when he first saw them for quite a while.

It took a good while before he finished inspecting them, touching his beard and nodding in approval, "These instruments are wonderfully ingenious, fantastic indeed. And by grinding the herbs into powder, the usage can be greatly reduced, no wonder your prices can be so low."

Gu Youyou didn’t deny it, smiled, and said, "Yes, less waste when grinding into powder. Doctor Cao, are you satisfied?"

"Haha, very satisfied, it seems my trip was not in vain!"

This deal directly consumed half of this month’s stock, and thereafter they would need to deliver goods to Yangguan City every two months, the quantity nearly equalling the entire consumption of Cao Tianyou’s clinic.

Cao Tianyou sat in the carriage holding the contract and a thick stack of ’usage instructions,’ staring blankly for a while and murmuring softly, "To terminate the supply, one must notify the seller one month in advance, otherwise it is invalid."

Beneath it was the prominent seal of Jisheng Hall.

"Master has taken in an unusual disciple," he said. "But she is a good junior sister, and Jisheng Hall is set to thrive under her."

Suddenly, he remembered something, took out a letter, and held it in his hand.

This was the letter Gu Youyou gave him when he was leaving, sealed with wax, instructing him to open it only once he returned to Yangguan City.

What does she mean by this? Could it be related to Master?

...

Perhaps because Yue Rujing came to help her, Jin Zijin seemed exceptionally busy, sometimes not returning until midnight.

The business was getting better and better, and everything was on the right track, but on this night, Gu Youyou didn’t know how many cups of strong tea she drank.

Her hands and feet were ice cold, yet she sat upright beside the desk.

In the silence of the night, the sound of horseshoes approached, growing closer and closer, he was finally returning.

Gu Youyou gripped the teacup tightly, waiting for those footsteps to ascend the stairs.
