098 knighthood

Gu Yanfei has never seen Gu Ce in the past two lives. These things about her father were all told to her personally by her eldest brother in her previous life.

Eight years ago, the head of his father Gu Ce was placed in a box as a trophy by the Yue Kingdom and sent all the way to the capital to demonstrate to the late emperor.

The tragic death of his father was a heavy blow to the young Gu Yuan, who was inconsolable. What made him even more indignant was that his father suffered such humiliation after his death and his body was incomplete.

After that, a bigger blow came.

After hearing the news, Mrs. Gu immediately went to Zhezi to plead guilty. She righteously reprimanded her eldest son Gu Ce for being unfaithful to the country and unfilial to his parents. Such an unfaithful and unfilial person violated the teachings of his ancestors. She asked the late emperor to punish him.

The eldest brother was removed from the Gu family.

Even afterward, Mrs. Gu once explained to the young Gu Yuan in private that the reason why she went to such a book was because she wanted to abandon the car to save the commander and protect the Hou Mansion from being ransacked.

Gu Yuan was only nine years old at the time. To him, Mrs. Gu's behavior was like abandoning his eldest son, and it also left scars in his heart that would never go away.

Maybe eight years ago, Mrs. Gu was Gu Yuan's good grandmother, but with Gu Ce's death, everything changed.

Now that Gu Ce is gone, this Marquis Mansion is no longer Gu Yuan's home, and all his former relatives have become unrecognizable.

Gu Yuan lowered his eyes and looked at his sister's fingers pinching the cuffs of his sleeves, and his heart was filled with ripples following the swaying cuffs.

His mood calmed down a lot and he smiled slightly at his sister.

His father is gone, but now he has a sister and relatives who can support each other.

A gust of cold wind suddenly blew open the west window that was not closed tightly, making a "squeaking" sound. The little maid was startled and hurried to close the window, then secretly looked at Mrs. Gu's face.

Mrs. Gu's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and she seemed completely unaware.

She felt as if her throat was being strangled. She wanted to say that Gu Yanfei was arrogant, but she couldn't utter a single word. She was so angry that she was shaking like chaff.

For a while, no one spoke again, and there was silence. Gradually, even the screams in the Bisha cupboard became fainter, and finally it became completely quiet.

There was deathly silence inside and outside the house, so quiet that Mrs. Gu could almost hear her own heartbeat.

The door curtain of the Bisha cupboard was opened, and Grandma Li walked out with the old Dr. Li. Dr. Li wiped the sweat from his forehead with his sleeves, and his body was filled with a strong smell of medicine.

Not wanting outsiders to see the joke, Mrs. Gu quickly regained her composure, and when she faced Old Doctor Li, she looked as condescending as an old feudal lord of the Hou Mansion.

"Doctor, how is Mr. Hou's injured arm?" When the voice came out, Mrs. Gu realized that her voice was so hoarse, rough, and old.

Old Doctor Li bowed respectfully to Mrs. Gu, and then said: "Back to Mrs. Gu, Mr. Marquis's right shoulder is fine, but it was dislocated. I have already put it back for him."

Mrs. Gu just breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Old Doctor Li say another "but" after taking a deep breath.

Mrs. Gu's heart suddenly lifted again.

"But," Old Doctor Li sighed, "the bones in Mr. Hou's right forearm are completely broken, and I just reconnected the broken bones for Mr. Hou. As the saying goes, it takes a hundred days for the bones to grow.

, I’m afraid it will take three or four months to raise it, and even if it is raised, I’m afraid I won’t be able to hold a knife in the future.”

In fact, Dr. Li said it tactfully, saying that Gu Jian's right hand would not be able to use a sword or sword in the future. In fact, according to his decades of medical experience, Gu Jian's right hand would probably not be able to be used at all in the future.

So strong that even writing is difficult.

"What did you say?!" Mrs. Gu subconsciously raised her voice as if struck by lightning.

They settled in the Marquis Mansion of Yuan and built their lives in peace with Wu.

Gu Jian is now the deputy commander-in-chief of the Zuoye Army. Now that he has broken his hand and cannot hold a sword, he is considered a cripple. How can he stay in the army?!

Once Gu Jian leaves the army, their Dingyuan Marquis Mansion will be nothing more than a false title, a showman with a glamorous appearance.

Mrs. Gu's heart dropped sharply. She felt sorry for her second son's suffering and felt her heart was as cold as ice.

Before Old Doctor Li could say anything else, Wang's sharp voice sounded first: "Mother, that quack doctor just now said that Mr. Hou's hand...is useless."

Mrs. Wang walked out of the blue gauze cabinet with red eyes. She couldn't see anyone else in her eyes. She cried miserably to Mrs. Gu. She was no longer as graceful and dignified as usual.

Old Doctor Li's face darkened, and he was very angry at the word "quackery".

He said unhappily: "If Mrs. Hou doesn't believe it, just ask another famous doctor to see you. I will take my leave first."

Old Doctor Li was annoyed and casually bowed to Mrs. Gu again, then walked away. His medicine boy quickly followed with the medicine box.

Mrs. Gu wanted to stop him, but she felt her face couldn't move, so she didn't speak. She rubbed her forehead with a headache.

Li's Medical Hall is a century-old medical hall. Since its existence in the previous dynasty, our ancestors have been praised by Emperor Taizu.

Not only that, Emperor Taizu also taught the Li family's ancestors how to use a thing called "gypsum" to fix bone injuries, which brought the medical skills and reputation of Li's Medical Hall to a higher level.

It can be said that Dr. Li is the best doctor in Beijing who is good at treating bone injuries.

Everyone said that if the Li family suffered an untreatable injury, there was really no hope.

Mrs. Gu was flustered, her head hurt even more, and her temples on both sides were throbbing. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Wang was still crying and saying: "Mom, there are countless famous doctors in Beijing and China, and my daughter-in-law doesn't believe that they can't take good care of Master Hou's hands..."

Wang's nanny comforted her softly, and then ordered the mothers-in-law to quickly invite all the famous doctors in the capital back.

There was a commotion in the house.

Mrs. Gu also knew that she could not count on the Wang family, so she turned to look at Gu Yanfei, and asked like a dead horse: "Yanfei, you said before that you have the true inheritance of Master Ling Xiao and know the medical skills.

Second uncle’s injury…”

She was always a bit doubtful about Gu Yanfei's medical skills, thinking that if this girl really saved Duke Wei, then she should also be able to cure her second uncle.

Mrs. Wang didn't know about this yet, so she looked at her grandfather and grandson in confusion. She wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and there were still a few tears hanging on her eyelashes.

"Do you believe me, Mrs. Gu?" Gu Yanfei smiled happily, tilted her face, moved closer to Mrs. Gu, and glanced in the direction of the blue gauze cabinet.

It means, that is your precious son, do you really trust me to trust him?

"..." Mrs. Gu's expression froze slightly, she didn't know what kind of medicine this girl was selling in her gourd.

"Master Ling Xiao taught me Zhu Youshu." Gu Yanfei's smile became wider, her voice was unhurried and had a unique rhythm, "Does Madam know what Zhu Youshu is?"

"As the saying goes, 'If you believe it, it will work; if you don't believe it, it will not work.'"

"Believe, it will be effective."

"Otherwise, this Zhu You Technique will not only be ineffective, but will also backfire."

"Madam, you and the Marquis... do you believe me?"

As she spoke, she casually curled a red hairband on her shoulder with her index finger, as if her fingertips were stained with a drop of blood.

Zhu Youshu has existed for a long time, and Mrs. Gu also knows about it. She has also heard the saying "If you believe it, it will work, if you don't believe it, it will not work."

Mrs. Gu stared straight at Gu Yanfei. Gu Yanfei kept laughing. There was always a kind of frivolity in the conversation and laughter of the young girl, which made people feel unpredictable.

Mrs. Gu hesitated, her expression changing, her hands hidden in her wide cuffs tightly holding the string of beads.

The second son, Gu Jian, was suddenly seriously injured. Maybe it was the brother and sister who had done something. If so, how could Gu Yanfei really save him? Maybe he would deliberately cause harm, and then it was speculated that Zhu Youshu had a backlash...

"If you don't want me to save you, then I'll leave first, so as not to stop the wife from crying for her son." Gu Yanfei couldn't see the other party's confusion, and smiled with a smile, with a bit of sarcasm that was half a smile.

With that said, Gu Yanfei touched the ring on her waist and stood up, not forgetting to call out to Gu Yuan.

"Brother, my wife probably doesn't have the time to support you today. Let's go out to eat."

Gu Yanfei took Gu Yuan's arm and walked out affectionately, not caring about the reactions of Mrs. Gu and Mrs. Wang behind her.

"Wait..." Mrs. Gu wanted to call the brothers and sisters, but just after she uttered a word, Gu Jian's painful screams came from the Bisha cupboard again, and his voice was hoarse.

Mrs. Gu subconsciously looked towards the blue gauze cupboard again. After just a brief absence, the brother and sister had already opened the curtain and left.

Only a swaying brocade curtain was left, and the bright red peonies embroidered on the curtain were extremely eye-catching.

After leaving Mingyi Courtyard, the icy cold wind hit them face to face, and the brother and sister could no longer hear the screams from behind.

Gu Yanfei then whispered: "The bow string has been moved, it should be the juice of purple grass."

When Gu Yanfei was weighing the rhinoceros horn bow before, he smelled the smell of purple yinthia from the string. The sap of this purple wormwood is transparent and colorless. When applied to the bow string, it will destroy the toughness of the string. When someone pulls the bow string hard,

The bowstring will break the moment it is stretched to the extreme.

At this time, the setting sun had already set halfway, and the clouds in the western sky were dyed into dazzling flaming clouds by the setting sun.

Gu Yuan was silent. The half hour just now was very short, but also very long. He had already thought a lot.

Not only did I think about the martial arts field, but I also thought about the past eight years again.

His thin chin was slightly raised, and facing the biting cold wind, he slowly uttered four words: "For the title."

Gu Yuan is not stupid, he knows the stakes clearly.

When my grandmother made the decision to give the title to my second uncle, he did not object.

At that time, he was only nine years old. He knew that once he lost the protection of his family, neither he nor Gu Yunkuang, whose parents were dead, would be able to survive.

The title and him are not a blessing.

He couldn't keep the title, so he gave it up.

Now that he has given up, he will no longer keep an eye on the title.

The cold wind blew up his robes and fluttered, giving the tall and tall young man an air of pride and confidence.
