Chapter 293: 162 Overwhelming Power (First Update)_2

She strode into the Medical Hall and said to Gu Jiao, pointing at herself: “Miss Gu, do you remember me?”

Yes, she already knew the other party’s surname was Gu.

Gu Jiao was in the process of classifying the medicine she had just purchased, and upon hearing the sound, her actions didn’t stop. She gently replied, “Dr. Song is in charge of the clinic today.”

“I’m not here to see a doctor! I’m here to find you!” said Du Xiaoyun, “I’ve wanted to come a while ago, but my recent homework has been too busy!”

The coursework for female students wasn’t always this busy, but for some reason, the students in the class made a lot of progress all of a sudden, and almost all the homework was correct, almost catching up with Zhuang Yuexi and Gu Jinyu.

Some of it were copied, but some were genuinely understood the problem. When the teacher asked them to explain, they were spot on!

The teacher thought he was really good and raised the difficulty level of the entire class.

Du Xiaoyun’s learning was not bad, but not outstanding either.

She was the type who would rather be scolded for not doing them at all than copy someone else’s homework, so she had been doing her homework late recently.

She hadn’t been out in a while. If it wasn’t for her sister insisting that she had to go to the Medical Hall, she would still be in the classroom doing homework now.

“My sister told me that you had Scar Ointment here. She has been busy recently and couldn’t make it, so she asked me to get it for her.”

Only one person has mentioned getting Scar Ointment to Gu Jiao, which was the Third Prince’s wife.

Yes, the Third Prince’s wife did mention that her surname was Du.

The first aid kit already had the medicine, Gu Jiao took out the Scar Ointment and the scar plaster. She squeezed the Scar Ointment into a well-sealed porcelain bottle and removed the outer packing of the scar plaster.

Gu Jiao explained the usage and charged her three taels of silver.

Du Xiaoyun was stunned, “This is expensive? Are you running a black market here?”

This was the best scar ointment in the research institute, costing over two thousand dollars per tube, which was equivalent to over two taels of silver. Scar adhesive was also expensive. She didn’t make much profit.

“If you don’t buy it, then it’s fine.” Gu Jiao reached out to take the medicine back.

The medicine in the first aid kit was so precious, she was reluctant to sell it.

Du Xiaoyun protected the medicine with one hand and put the silver on the table with the other, “I’ll buy it, I’ll buy it! If I don’t, my sister will skin me alive! There are so many imperial doctors in the palace, I don’t know why my sister has her eye on your medicine!”

The fact that the Third Prince’s wife had surgery was not publicised and even Du Xiaoyun didn’t know about it. Du Xiaoyun just thought the Third Prince’s wife had bumped or been injured somewhere on her body.

Today was the last day of classes at both the Guozijian and the female school.

The girls’ school had gone through a series of exams, with only the music exam remaining.

In the Music Hall, after Zhuang Yuexi finished playing the tune they had learned this month, cheers filled the room.

Her performance was truly splendid.

Zhuang Yuexi came first in the poetry exam, and tied with Gu Jinyu for first in arithmetic. Music was her weak subject, everyone had assumed that her performance would be disappointing. Yet who’d have predicted her rapid progress in just half a month’s time?

For this examination, the Crown Princess invited court musicians to supervise the exam together with the teachers.

The musician’s surname was Xie.

Musician Xie nodded in satisfaction: “Miss Zhuang has made great progress in playing the zither.”

The teachers all gave her an A.

Musician Xie, being stricter, gave her a B.

However, this grade was already quite impressive.

Up next was Gu Jinyu.

Gu Jinyu held her Yueying Fo Xi zither and bowed to Musician Xie and the teachers.

The teachers also stood up to return the bow.

She was a Countess, and etiquettes were not to be dropped.

As a court musician, Musician Xie also held an official position, and his rank was above Gu Jinyu. He readily accepted Gu Jinyu’s bow.

Gu Jinyu’s Yueying Fo Xi zither had a much more beautiful tone than Zhuang Yuexi’s guqin. Furthermore, she had put in more effort in practicing the zither than Zhuang Yuexi. It was not as she had claimed – that she hadn’t practiced for a long time. In fact, she had been practicing every day.

In the end, even Musician Xie gave her an A.

“Actually, the reason I gave you an A was not solely because you played well, but also because you altered the latter half of the score very well.”

Yes, Gu Jinyu had altered the score.
