Chapter 406: Red Jade With Gold Flecks And Medical Notes

Of course, Jiang Yiru had drunk good tea like that in the past. Ancient and prestigious families like hers enjoyed such things, so she had had plenty of good tea in the past.
But she had not encountered such good tea since her family’s decline.
When Gu Qingyao brought it out, Jiang Yiru was not only satisfied with her little apprentice, but she also gained a greater understanding of the girl’s ability.
Old Master Qin stared at the tea in the teapot. He also wanted to drink it.
When the tea was ready, Gu Qingyao filled a cup and respectfully kowtowed to Jiang Yiru. Then she offered her tea and acknowledged her as her teacher.
When the ceremony was over, Jiang Yiru smilingly handed the set of red jade with gold flecks. “Open it and take a look; see if you like it?”
These were top-quality gems. Which woman would dislike them?
Gu Qingyao could not help but open it for a look. It was so beautiful!
The red jades with golden flecks were of top quality, and its color was exquisite. The design was somewhat old-fashioned, but it was definitely dazzlingly beautiful.
Gems of this quality would be worth more than a hundred million dollars in later years. Even the Gu family, with its deep roots, and even an ancestor who had been a court official, could not produce many treasures which were comparable to this.
“Thank you, Teacher!”
Jiang Yiru smiled and asked Old Master Qin to bring out another small box.
“These are some medical books that I have collected and some of my medical notes. I have specially annotated the books. You have a good foundation, so you can bring these back to read. If there’s anything you don’t understand, come and look for me. Come whenever you are free, and I will be able to teach you more.”
Gu Qingyao’s eyes lit up. Medical notes like these could be even more valuable than medical books.
Gu Qingyao brought everything back and plunged into analyzing them. From then on, her days were full.
She continued to visit Old Master Ji in the day whenever she was free. Old Master Ji was also an expert and she could still learn from him. But she did not go so frequently anymore.
After all, Old Master Ji treated ordinary people and their diseases were very simple. In the past, she did not have the option of Jiang Yiru, so she naturally went there to gain experience. But things were different now.
With a patron like Jiang Yiru, no matter how astonishing her medical skills were in the future, no one would have any suspicions.
She spent her days studying the medical books and notes, and every three to five days, she would visit Jiang Yiru at night and listen to Jiang Yiru’s teachings.
Old Master Qin was also an expert. Although Gu Qingyao was Jiang Yiru’s apprentice, she was practically also Old Master Qin’s apprentice.
Time passed quickly.
Zhou Ping’s leg had recovered long ago, but Gu Qingyao did not want to go home.
Her master, Jiang Yiru was here, and Mo Beihan was here. She really did not want to go home this time.
But after the previous incident, Zhou Ping’s attitude towards her had changed drastically. It was probably because Third Uncle and Third Brother had lost their jobs after offending the Zhang family, but in the end, Mo Beihan had solved the problem and they had gotten their jobs back. This had awed her.
She had never imagined that a poor village boy like Mo Beihan could settle the Zhang family.
It completely exceeded her expectations.
One must know that to her, the Ji family was already a prestigious family. If even the Jis could not deal with the Zhang family, but Mo Beihan had managed to find someone to solve the problem, that meant…
Gu Qingyao continued to stay in her third uncle’s home at night. But she was very busy during the day. She went out almost every day and seldom ate at home.
But she often brought things back. When Mo Beihan sent her home, he often gave her snacks, chicken, fish, meat and eggs. Later on, Gu Qingyao brought these things back, but Zhou Ping understood that Mo Beihan had given them to her.
