Chapter 146: 108 Inventions (Second Update)_2

Gu Jiao said, “It’s not me who likes it, it’s my little brother.” _{freeweɓnovel.cøm}

The man gave a slight smile, “Miss, you have a little brother?”

Gu Jiao gestured with her fingers, “Not one, three.”

The man: Only giving one gift seems rather unjust!

The man gave Gu Jiao two more gifts, causing the servants nearby to feel their master’s pursed strings tighten. Why did he have to ask such a question? Wasn’t he digging his own grave? But there was no place to vent their vexation.

It was their master’s own vanity after all.

When Gu Jiao left the Medical Hall, her little basket contained three more extravagant gift packages!

At the entrance of Huichun Hall, the man gave Gu Jiao a salute, “Miss, until we meet again.”

Gu Jiao glanced at him, “I’ll see the doctor again, what’s wrong with you?”

With that, she carried her basket and disappeared into the crowd without a backward glance.

The servant was furious and gritted his teeth, “Master, did you see her….”

The man was stunned as well, as no one had dared to talk to him like that in many years. But upon recovery, he laughed joyously, “Yes, what is wrong with me? Why do I want to see a doctor? Isn’t it good to be healthy?”

“Master….”

“We should head back to the capital, let’s go.”

After leaving Huichun Hall, Gu Jiao headed to the only iron shop in town.

The iron shop had been open for over twenty years and could be considered an old establishment.

Just as Gu Jiao arrived at the shop, she heard the rhythmic sounds of iron forging. The business was booming, keeping the blacksmiths very busy.

The shop didn’t have a counter, so Gu Jiao called over an assistant and asked, “I ordered some ironware here last month, and today is the day to collect it.”

The assistant, hauling a heavy basket of iron ore, shouted into the Grand Hall, “Old Wang! Someone’s here to collect their goods!”

“Coming, coming!” A blacksmith, drenched in sweat, rushed out. He had a towel around his neck, which he used to wipe the sweat off his face as he looked at Gu Jiao, “Who’s here for goods? Are you?”

She wasn’t recognized because last time the order was placed by a Huichun Hall carter.
