Chapter 407: Finding a Master for My Daughter

Gu Huanxi's answer surprised Jiang Yong, but he was not surprised at the same time. He held the teacup, took a sip, and smiled, "You are a good mother..."

She loves her children but does not spoil them. She respects their ideas and has vision and foresight. With such a mother, the children will definitely have a good future. It's a pity that A Li wants to find a son-in-law, but he is of a different generation, otherwise he would have wanted A Li to be his granddaughter-in-law.

Gu Huanxi didn't know what he was thinking, so she said modestly, "You're too kind."

Jiang Yong shook his head. His words were not polite, but came from the heart. "What do you think about letting Ah Li study medicine in the future?"

Such a straightforward approach made Gu Huanxi stunned for a moment, "Studying medicine?"

Although she and Xu Huaiyi had considered this path for their daughter, after all, their daughter could not take the imperial examination, and having a skill was better than being mediocre. They were reluctant to trap their daughter in the inner house and only learn needlework, cooking, chess, calligraphy and painting in order to get married. They hoped that their daughter could go out with dignity and do what she liked.

What's more, my daughter has a golden finger, which will be a great help if she chooses to study medicine.

But she didn't expect that Jiang Yong also had the same idea, and he took the initiative to come to her and mention it to help his daughter make plans.

Is this considered "a tacit understanding, a coincidence?"

Jiang Yong nodded, "What do you think?"

Gu Huanxi pondered and said, "I think it's great. Studying medicine can cure diseases and save lives, which can be considered as accumulating virtue and doing good deeds. However, just because I think it's good doesn't mean that Ah Li will like it. I'll have to wait two years to see what Ah Li thinks. A forced melon is not sweet..."

Jiang Yong said "of course" but continued to ask, "If Ah Li likes to study medicine, what kind of master do you want to find for her?"

Gu Huanxi reacted and wanted to laugh in his heart, but he still looked serious. "Of course it's a famous doctor like Doctor Jiao who has high medical ethics and superb medical skills. I just don't know if Doctor Jiao will accept apprentices, and whether he has any opinions on female apprentices..."

Jiang Yong said meaningfully, "If someone else came to him, he would definitely not accept you, but your family has a deep connection with him, and they have been together for so long, and their relationship is harmonious. He also likes Ah Li, so he will not refuse."

Hearing this, Gu Huanxi smiled happily, "If that's the case, that would be great."

Jiang Yong also smiled. He knew that Gu Huanxi must have guessed the purpose of his visit, but he was still willing to cooperate. It was obvious that he was really willing to take Lao Jiao as his master. In this way, Lao Jiao could move in and live there naturally in the future.

"It's better to become a disciple sooner rather than later. I've heard that the descendants of the Xinglin family start learning to identify herbs from their elders as soon as they can talk and walk. Ah Li is now more than nine months old, so it's time to get ready."

Gu Huanxi, "..."

Was education in ancient times also so strict? Even infants were not spared.

In the afternoon, Xu Huaiyi came back and took Han Jun to Bianming Road. He let all the servants in the house know Han Jun's identity. He was the martial arts master he hired for his son. Then he personally took him to arrange accommodation. This action made the servants quickly see the truth.

The master treated Master Han with great courtesy. Although he had also signed a contract, his status was obviously higher than theirs. In the future, they had to be polite and respectful to him. In fact, they dared not disrespect him.

Who asked Han Jun to appear on stage with a mask on? It was so shocking. Even if he didn't say anything, just a look from him was enough to make people feel nervous, as if they were being stared at by some ferocious beast.

How dare they have any other thoughts?

There was no need for Xu Huaiyi to hit him, but Han Jun still appreciated it. After thanking him, he made the excuse that he wanted to get to know the young master better so that he could teach him kung fu in the future, and then he went to find Gu Xiaoyu openly.

In front of others, I did not miss any moment of the show.

Xu Huaiyi would not be jealous. What's the point of finding a nephew? If you have the ability, find a wife and children, haha...

Han Jun is 25 years old this year and still unmarried. In ancient times, this age would definitely make him a bachelor.

He put his hands behind his back and strolled back to the bedroom, where he saw his wife and child lying on the kang, one sleeping soundly and the other reading a book.

"came back?"

"Well, why are you lying down to read again? This is not good for your eyes..."

"I haven't read many pages, I was just thinking about something."

"What are you thinking about?"

Xu Huaiyi took off his outer robe, lay down on it, stretched out his limbs comfortably, looked at her, and asked casually.

Gu Huanxi told her about Jiang Yong's visit. At the end, she said in confusion, "I find it very strange that Mr. Jiang is planning for Ah Li. He is Xiaoyu's teacher, not Ah Li's. I didn't expect him to be so impatient. Ah Li is only nine months old and doesn't know anything yet. Is he going to start studying under a master? Children in later generations are not so eager..."

After hearing this, Xu Huaiyi was not surprised at all. "There is nothing strange about this. Mr. Jiang must have seen that Doctor Jiao also wanted to follow us, so he helped him find a legitimate reason. Apart from kinship, what other relationship is closer and more solid than that between master and apprentice?"

Gu Huanxi raised an eyebrow and looked at him, "Are you sure?"

Xu Huaiyi smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm not being sentimental. In fact, I saw it yesterday. Doctor Jiao didn't want to leave, but he felt it was inappropriate for someone who was not related to him to stay, so he left with the people from Xujia Village..."

He looked somewhat smug. The fact that Doctor Jiao didn't want to leave indirectly showed that he was popular and likable. It also showed that all the time and effort he put into this house were not in vain.

Gu Huanxi teased, "You'd better not be too proud. Be careful not to get slapped in the face. I see that Doctor Jiao has clearly chosen our Ah Li. With his medical skills, he must find a disciple to inherit his legacy, right?"

Xu Huaiyi could still compete with his daughter? He said very straightforwardly, "You are right. It is our Ah Li who is very charming. Everyone loves him and flowers bloom when he sees him. Hey, you said that Doctor Jiao is also very familiar with him. Why should we just come to me directly? Why do we have to beat around the bush and ask Mr. Jiang to come forward? Isn't this a waste of effort?"

Gu Huanxi was speechless, "Do you think everyone is like you? Doctor Jiao has dignity, so why would he rush to be someone's master?"

That's such a bargain.

Xu Huaiyi understood, "It's still too unorthodox..."

Gu Huanxi didn't respond and asked, "What do you mean?"

Xu Huaiyi said without thinking, "Of course I agree. We already had this plan. It's a perfect match."

Gu Huanxi said worriedly, "But from what Mr. Jiang said, after Ah Li can talk, he will follow Doctor Jiao to learn to identify herbs. There is no such rush as forcing things to grow."

Xu Huaiyi said nonchalantly, "It's nothing, just learn it."

"Are you willing?"

"I'm willing to give it up. It's not like we, Ah Li, have to work hard. It's just learning about herbs. For Ah Li, isn't it like playing?"

"..."

I miscalculated. I thought he would strongly object. After all, compared to her, he doted on his daughter more.

Xu Huaiyi looked at her and grinned, "Do you think I would object?"

Gu Huanxi said nothing.

Xu Huaiyi continued, "I do love my daughter and I don't want her to suffer, but have you forgotten the talent she has? Haven't you noticed that she has a strong curiosity and a desire to get close to all the plants she grows without us even needing to guide her?"

"so?"

"So, we don't need to worry at all. Ah Li has actually already chosen the path she wants to take. Planting or studying medicine are both suitable for her. She will definitely be able to achieve results that are not inferior to ours. Having a famous doctor like Doctor Jiao willing to teach us personally has saved us a lot of trouble."

Anyway, he felt he had gotten a great bargain.

Gu Huanxi also came to her senses. She was shocked by Jiang Yong's words before. Now thinking about it, she was indeed worrying too much. Ah Li was not an ordinary child. If she didn't take what heaven gave her, she would suffer the consequences. "Then I will prepare a gift for becoming your disciple?"

Xu Huaiyi said, "No rush. We have to wait until our Ah Li can talk and walk. However, we can bring Doctor Jiao over earlier. Otherwise, Mr. Jiang will have to worry about him every day."

"Ok?"

"Why do you think Mr. Jiang is arranging this matter for Doctor Jiao?"

"What?"

"Hehe, he wants Doctor Jiao to move in and keep him company. They are old friends, they get along well, and they are both people who are not interested in fame or gain. They are comfortable and at ease with each other. When Doctor Jiao comes, he can accompany him for walks, play ball, drink tea and play cards, just like those people who live together in old age in later generations."

Gu Huanxi suddenly realized and said "Oh".

Xu Huaiyi added, "There is another deeper meaning. Doctor Jiao is a famous doctor. With a famous doctor by my side, if I feel uncomfortable, he can help me in minutes. If I have a difficult and complicated disease, I don't have to ask for help. How great!"

"You think too highly of Mr. Jiang..."

"Hehe, it's human nature. Mr. Jiang is also an ordinary person."

Gu Huanxi rolled her eyes and reminded him, "Don't talk nonsense in front of Mr. Jiang. He is still teaching your son."

"Don't worry, I'm not stupid..."

After saying this, Gu Huanxi finally had the energy to ask, "Why did you come back so late?"

Xu Huaiyi explained, "You have to do the whole show. You can't just go straight to Han Jun, so I went to talk to Su Zhe first, and then I created an opportunity to buy Han Jun."

"What did you talk to Su Zhe about? About opening an amusement park?"

"Well, he was in a hurry. He thought this was a good business to make money, so he wanted to seize the market first. He also wanted to make more achievements quickly so that he could increase his bargaining chips for the position of president."

"Then we have settled the matter?"

"The initial intention was reached. Actually, I didn't want to participate in the investment, but Su Zhe insisted. I took 30% and only helped to make plans. He did everything else."

Hearing this, Gu Huanxi teased, "Then don't you feel guilty about taking this 30%?"

Xu Huaiyi sighed pretentiously, "So, I can only worry about it more. I have given him many good ideas, but how can we retain customers for a long time just by relying on those amusement facilities? After playing a few times, they might get bored. We need other things to increase customer stickiness..."

Gu Huanxi's mouth twitched, "You're not going to bring all the business practices from later generations here, are you?"

Xu Huaiyi smiled and said, "Hehe, I guess so. I picked out some of the things that are suitable for the moment, including various snack bars, boutiques, and DIY shops. By then, you can eat, drink, and have fun. The one-stop service will be in place, which will satisfy both adults and children. After coming once, you will want to come countless times."

"He has no suspicions?"

"No, I have found reliable reasons. Some of the ideas were thought up by me, and some were told by my father-in-law. My father-in-law has traveled a lot and has seen a lot. Isn't it normal for him to hear some fantastic ideas?"

"My father is the best tool..." He took so many blames and didn't even have a chance to object.

Xu Huaiyi joked, "Su Zhe now worships his father-in-law. He deserves to be a tool."

Gu Huanxi said angrily, "Stop being so poor, is there anything else?"

Xu Huaiyi said, "There is also the matter of oyster sauce and pine flour. He asked the best chef in the restaurant to taste it and then tried to make it, but he couldn't replicate the delicious taste. Later, after eating the dishes fried with those two seasonings, he no longer hesitated and arranged for people to go to the coast to look for it..."

Gu Huanxi raised an eyebrow, "Will this not trick him?"

Xu Huaiyi waved his hand. "Not really. The soy sauce can still be figured out, and the production process is not difficult. The fishermen on the coast should have a way. As for the pine powder, even if it cannot be copied exactly the same, it can still be done with 70% to 80% of the effect. If he is the first to master the formula of these two seasonings and can hold them firmly in his hands, what is Chunshuilou? Sooner or later, he will lose to Shuiyunxuan. In the future, he will definitely be the leader in the catering industry and sit firmly in the first seat. Most importantly, his voice in the Su family will become more and more powerful. So, I am not cheating him, but helping him a lot..."

Otherwise, Su Zhe would not have been so grateful to him, inviting him to have lunch at noon and toasting him with several glasses of wine. In the end, he was fine, but Su Zhe got drunk and kept muttering thank you to him while drunk.

Gu Huanxi understood and asked, "They helped you, too, right?"

Xu Huaiyi immediately laughed, "My wife really understands me. I drew a few blueprints and told the leader of the team that Su Zhe was going to send to the beach about the appearance of corn, peppers and tomatoes. I asked him to help find out. If he could find them, he should buy more."

Hearing this, Gu Huanxi's eyes lit up, "This is a good opportunity."

Xu Huaiyi said proudly, "Isn't it? I think so too. If we can find those things, then it will be more legitimate to take out the corn and peppers we planted in the backyard when they are ripe."

The couple talked to each other for a long time, but they were not able to take a nap. When Ah Li woke up, Xu Huaiyi immediately hugged her and kissed her, making her move her arms and legs and giggle.

"Call me daddy, daddy..."

"Ah..."

"That's called mother, mother..."

"Ah, ah, ah..."

Xu Huaiyi patiently and happily led her to call for help, but Ah Li just wouldn't cooperate. Ah Li was obviously very smart and could understand a lot of what they said. She could also make some reactions and could even stand steadily for a while, but she just wouldn't say a word.

Gu Huanxi was tidying up the bedding on the kang and said casually, "Why rush? Wait until he's about a year old, and he'll naturally be able to call for help."

Xu Huaiyi didn't give up and changed his name, "Then call me brother, brother..."

After he finished speaking, he didn't hold out much hope. Unexpectedly, the next second, he heard his daughter in his arms calling out with a smile, "Guoguo, Guoguo..."

Xu Huaiyi suddenly didn't know whether to be surprised and excited, or sad and jealous. It was obviously his little cotton-padded jacket, so why was it someone else who was warming it?
