Daohua gritted her teeth and shook her head, pouting indignantly, "This is my own fault. Why did I have to bring up the Polygonum multiflorum when master was checking my injuries?"
Xiao Yeyang: "Does it hurt a lot?"
Daohua: "Isn’t that obvious?"
At this moment, Wang Manman entered with a plaster.
Daohua glanced behind her and asked, "Where’s Master?"
Wang Manman smiled and said, "The old master is examining the Lingzhi mushrooms and Polygonum multiflorum we picked. Miss, you should have seen him; he was so excited that his eyes were squinting into slits. This is the first time I’ve seen the old master so happy."
Daohua’s mouth curved into a smile: "I guess any doctor would be like this when they see good herbs." She then pouted again, "He’s so engrossed with the herbs, he doesn’t even care about his own disciple."
Xiao Yeyang chuckled, sat down on a stool by the bed, and put Daohua’s foot on his lap: "Isn’t it enough that I look after you?" After saying that, he gestured for Wang Manman to hand him the plaster.
Wang Manman looked at her young lady’s foot and hesitated with the plaster in hand: "Little Prince, perhaps, I should apply the plaster to the miss?"
Xiao Yeyang glanced at Wang Manman and snatched the plaster from her hands: "What if you aren’t steady and you hurt the miss even more?"
Wang Manman wanted to say her hands were steady, but seeing the stern look Xiao Yeyang shot her, she quietly bowed her head.
After carefully applying the medicine to Daohua, Gu Jian entered.
Both turned their heads, feeling Gu Jian’s uplifted spirits.
"Cough cough~"
Gu Jian feigned a couple of coughs, then began: "The quality of the Lingzhi is excellent, and the Polygonum multiflorum is top-notch. You two have... worked hard this time."
Upon hearing this, Daohua and Xiao Yeyang exchanged an amused smile.
Watching the two children share a tacit smile, Gu Jian became even more relaxed: "With these two medicinal ingredients, I can start preparing a new prescription for sister."
Having said that, he was ready to leave. Before exiting the door, he turned to Daohua.
"The medicinal meal you prepared for sister before was not bad. When you get a chance, bring your grandmother here. I have some Hundred-Year Ginseng that is several centuries old. After adding today’s Lingzhi and Polygonum multiflorum into the medicinal meal to stew, it will surely extend her longevity if she eats it."
Daohua nodded vigorously: "Sure, Dragon Boat Festival is just in a few days. After the festival, I’ll bring grandmother over." She paused and then added, "Master, how come I’ve never heard about you having such fine ginseng before?"
Gu Jian humphed: "Does this master have to let you know about all the treasures in his possession?"
Daohua fell silent: "Can I see that several centuries old ginseng? I’ve seen Hundred-Year Ginseng but never something that old."
Seeing Xiao Yeyang looking at him as well, Gu Jian ’hmmed’: "Today, I’ll let you two broaden your horizons."
Xiao Yeyang helped Daohua into the hall, and soon after, they saw Gu Jian approaching with a long box.
