Chapter 225: 136 A Family Unites (First Update)_3

Gu Jiao heaved a sigh, “What on earth do you want?”

The scholar boy giggled, “You finally remembered me, didn’t you?”

Gu Jiao responded flatly, “Our Medical Hall hasn’t opened yet. If you’re ill, you’d better go somewhere else.”

“Oh, so this is a Medical Hall, huh? Are you working here on a permanent basis?” The scholar boy probed, clearly assuming from Gu Jiao’s attire that she couldn’t afford to open a clinic herself, and was likely employed by someone else.

Gu Jiao responded casually with a hum, and continued sweeping the floor.

The scholar boy exclaimed excitedly, “So, we’ll be seeing each other frequently!”

Gu Jiao looked at him oddly, “You’re seriously ill?”

The scholar boy, like a bobblehead, shook his head. For sure, she had a good temperament. Anyone else would have been nettled by being questioned this way, but she didn’t get irritated at all.

She inquired, “Do you know what the several mansions beside your place have been bought for?”

“I don’t know,” Gu Jiao replied.

“It’s for an Academy!” the scholar boy revealed.

“Oh,” Gu Jiao replied, coolly.

The shopkeeper, who was discussing cabinets with a carpenter, became flustered. He walked over quickly and asked the scholar boy, “What did you just say? What Academy?”

“Haven’t you heard? The Princess is opening a women’s academy! It’s on this very street. A few mansions to your west, along with the large plot of land behind them, have all been bought by the Princess.” The scholar boy spoke, pointing at their clinic, “Originally, I remembered that this shop was also supposed to be bought, but the homeowner could not be found, so they didn’t rent it. By the way, how did you get it? How did you find the homeowner whom even the Princess couldn’t locate?”

The shopkeeper considered that because the homeowner was a little monk in a temple, they couldn’t find him!
