The sound of glass shattering on the ground echoed from the pharmacy, followed by Gu Jian emerging dust-covered and disheveled.

Grandma Gu: “Did the potion not come out again?”

Gu Jian shook his head, somewhat dejected, “No, it didn’t.”

Seeing her brother display such emotions was somewhat amusing to Grandma Gu.

Gu Jian frowned and said, “I did exactly as Daohua instructed, so why can’t I get it right?”

The potion Daohua made was colorless, tasteless, and transparent, whereas his best attempt had turned out faintly pink with a pungent odor.

Grandma Gu gestured for Caiju to tidy up.

Once Caiju entered the pharmacy, she noticed that almost all the glassware Daohua brought had been broken. She couldn’t help but twitch at the corner of her mouth, and after she tidied up and came out, Gu Jian said.

“Well, find some time to visit Ningmen Prefecture, and have that Yang lad bring another set over. No, bring three sets. I refuse to believe that if my apprentice can make it, I, as the master, can’t!”

After he finished speaking, he pondered for a moment, then stood up, went back to his room, and came out with a steel pen and two bottles of potion, handing them to Dongli, “You go in person and hand these to Xiaowu.”

Dongli took the items, hesitated while looking at the bottles filled only one-third with potion, and said, “Master, should we ask Miss Yan to come over and make some more potion?”

Miss Yan had left for the Yan Residence yesterday, and the Little Prince had left with her.

Hearing this, Gu Jian immediately became huffy and said, “It’s all because that Yang kid is too stingy. Even though Daohua made two more bottles of potion, he couldn’t bear to spare me one and left me only this much.”

Grandma Gu glanced over with a look of disdain, “Humph, I wonder who overestimated their own abilities yesterday, claiming they could make it themselves? If you had really wanted it, would the Yang lad have refused you? You’re not young anymore; stop shifting the blame onto the kids.”

Gu Jian looked embarrassed, genuinely thinking it was simple to watch his apprentice make the potions; after all, wasn’t he a master at potion making? How could he fail to produce it?

Well, apparently he couldn’t.

The main problem was the burette; he just couldn’t get the dosage right, which was driving him crazy.

Seeing the two masters stray from the topic, Dongli had to speak up to bring the conversation back, “Shall I go and fetch Miss Yan right now?”

Gu Jian waved his hand dismissively, “What reason would you give for inviting her? That girl is shrewd. Last time I brought up the ‘Tao Te Ching,’ she started probing whether I knew the Eighth Prince. If you go now, pfft, she might even suspect you as a spy from some faction.”

Dongli immediately fell silent.

When he and Caiju first came to serve the old masters, Miss Yan was quite wary of them, having several tenant farmers from the estate keep an eye on them.

Thinking back to the time when he would be greeted by someone every time he stepped out, inquiring with enthusiasm about where he was going and what he was doing, it made him feel somewhat bemused yet frustrated.

Gu Jian: “Alright, it’s not much, but tell Xiaowu the potion formula and the process, and he’ll find someone to make it. Oh, and remind Xiaowu that my apprentice created this, so make sure to credit the young lady.”

He felt a bit ashamed for secretly sharing his apprentice’s creation with the Emperor and could not miss the opportunity to claim some credit for her efforts.

Dongli nodded, “I will do so.”

…

Yan Residence.

Since Sister Zixuan was getting married on the twentieth day of the first lunar month, Daohua had returned from Taohua Village to the residence on the twelfth, as they needed to head to the Li Family several days in advance. _{freeweɓnovel.cøm}

That afternoon, while Daohua was packing for the trip, Xiujun came to see her.

Smiling at Xiujun, Daohua asked, “Xiujun, we’re leaving tomorrow, have you packed your things yet?”

This time to the Li Family, Madam Li had also decided to bring Xiujun, but Yan Siyu stayed at home to accompany Old Madam Yan.

Xiujun nodded with a smile, “I don’t have many things; I’ve already packed.”

Daohua: “That’s good. Did you need something from me?” While asking, she continued to choose the jewelry to wear for the trip.

Looking at the several cases of jewelry before Daohua, Xiujun was slightly dazzled and said with a lowered gaze and a smile, “I just had some free time and thought I’d sit with my cousin for a while.”

Daohua: “Sure, have a seat. I’ll keep packing and we can talk.”

Xiujun nodded and sat down on a couch near the window.

“Miss, do you think these sets of dresses will be enough?” Guyu placed the selected Aoqun dresses one by one on the rack.
