Chapter 751: Chapter 745 Writing a Story for Tian Jizi
Unbeknownst to Gu Youyou, she had already been on Qi Mountain for ten days, and Tian Jizi hadn’t been cooperating with the treatment, not even allowing his pulse to be taken.
Gu Youyou thought that considering his advanced age, happiness would be the best medicine. Therefore, she brought him some interesting and thought-provoking books filled with stories every day, hoping they would keep him calmer and prevent him from confusing his disciples in his muddled state.
The disciples took turns playing various roles to cater to Tian Jizi, which appeared to be kindness on the surface but, in fact, only served to further muddle his mind.
Instead of letting him fail to recognize people, it was better to occupy his time with reading stories and contemplating the matters within them, constantly exercising his mind to delay the progression of his illness.
This approach, however, made things difficult for Gu Youyou, as all these short stories were written by her through painstaking effort.
She had almost finished writing the stories of Conan.
Xiang Chun came in with the lunch, just as Gu Youyou finished another short story.
Gu Youyou put away her pen and gently blew the ink dry, saying, "How is Searcy doing?"
Xiang Chun still wasn’t used to the strange name that Miss Gu had given to the woman in the next courtyard.
But since Miss Gu was the master, Xiang Chun had no place to comment and simply replied, "Her wounds have all healed, but I’m afraid her leg still can’t move. Just now, she asked me to inquire with Miss Gu when that splint can be removed."
Searcy was adept at using poison, but far from skilled in treating ailments.
Gu Youyou wondered how her mother had taught her, or perhaps Searcy herself was just not very good at treating illnesses.
Gu Youyou smiled lightly and said, "Tell her, ’Injuries of the muscles and bones take a hundred days to heal; don’t even think about recovery before three months.’"
Xiang Chun secretly stuck out her tongue and left the room after setting down the meal.
In no time, Qingyang ran in, looking cheerful.
Gu Youyou was having her meal and looked up at him,
He scratched his head and said, "Is Doctor Gu still eating?"
"Yes, have you come for another storybook?"
Qingyang smiled sheepishly and replied, "Yes, Doctor Gu, have you finished today’s story?"
Gu Youyou pointed to the table and said, "It’s done. It’s right there, you can take it."
"Ah! Thank you, Doctor Gu!" Qingyang jumped for joy, grabbed the Conan story written by Gu Youyou, and ran out.
Gu Youyou had to raise her voice to remind him, "Don’t forget to show it to the Heavenly Master first."
"Got it, Doctor Gu."
His stories were said to be very popular.
Gu Youyou thought about the essence of a merchant, wondering whether she should charge them a fee for her hard work?
Soon enough, Xiang Chun came back, just as Gu Youyou finished her meal.
She said to Gu Youyou, "Someone from Jinxiu City has arrived, a person from Miss Du’s Manxiu Building."
"Please invite them in quickly."
This was the first time someone from Jinxiu City had come since she had arrived at Qi Mountain.
The visitor was Cuiya, who, after leaving the Jie Family, had experienced a world of change just like Miss Du, radiating the sharp authority of a formidable woman; gone was the cautious timidity she had when they first met.
She looked nothing like her former self.
"Doctor Gu, the clothing designs you sent us last time have all been produced, and sales were excellent. Here’s the ledger, my miss said to bring it for you to review," Cuiya said.
Gu Youyou took the ledger, glanced at it, and placed it aside, then asked Cuiya, "Is your miss doing well lately?"
Cuiya’s face lit up with joy as she answered, "Everything is well, and we owe a lot to Doctor Gu. If it wasn’t for you, we might still be in the Jie Family’s back courtyard."
Gu Youyou sighed and said, "Those things are in the past, let’s not mention them anymore. Miss Du is a capable person; she was never meant to be confined for a man for her whole life. By the way, since you’ve brought Concubine Du back with you, her wounds must have mostly healed by now, right?"
