If you keep making noise, I won’t stand it anymore!

The first person to arrive at Liuzhou Prefecture was Doctor Gudu, whose full name was Gudu Zhong. He was sixty years old and lived in Xuanzhou Prefecture, which was the closest to Liuzhou Prefecture. The reason he arrived late was that he had just celebrated his sixtieth birthday at home.

Meixiang followed Doctor Wang and everyone who stayed in Liu's mansion today to stand at the gate to welcome them. Even Little Seventeen was held by Little Ten's hand and stood obediently by the side.

As the carriage slowly approached, the first thing that caught everyone's eye was a child of about twelve or thirteen with delicate features. His pair of eyes that seemed to be able to speak were particularly eye-catching.

He glanced at the people at the door lightly, and pulled the reins of the carriage with a "whoosh".

"Master, we have arrived at the Liu Mansion." After saying this to the carriage behind him, he jumped off the carriage and stood respectfully on one side with his hands hanging down.

There was no movement in the carriage. The boy glanced at Doctor Wang and raised his voice slightly, "Master, we have arrived at the Liu residence."

"Hmm," with a low response, the curtain on the front side of the carriage was lifted, and an old man who looked to be about sixty years old, with white hair and beard, a slender figure, and wearing a white robe appeared in front of everyone.

"Oh, lonely old man, you look more stylish after not seeing you for a few days." Doctor Wang said quickly when he saw him appear, on the one hand to tease his old friend, and on the other hand to smooth over his slightly rude behavior just now.

"I'm old, and I accidentally fell asleep just now. I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Gu Duzhong apologized repeatedly while helping the boy get off the carriage.

After he stood firm beside the car, he said, "Old Lonely Man, this is my new disciple, Liu Meixiang, whom I mentioned in your letter."

"Xiang'er greets Mr. Gudu. You must have worked hard on the journey. Xiang'er would like to thank you on behalf of all the people of Liuzhou Prefecture for your righteousness." As soon as Doctor Wang finished speaking, Meixiang stepped forward and saluted Gudu Zhong.

"Hello, sir." Everyone in the Liu residence followed Meixiang in greeting.

"You can't do that, Princess." Seeing this, Gu Duzhong quickly turned aside and didn't dare to accept the greeting. Then he bowed to Meixiang and said, "I greet the Princess. I wish you all the best."

Meixiang stood there in a daze. This was the first time since she could remember that someone had given her such a serious gift. She was extremely uncomfortable for the moment.

"Hey, when did you become so long-winded? Come on, come in." Doctor Wang snorted coldly, interrupting the somewhat stagnant atmosphere.

"Yes, yes, sir, please come in."

The beautiful woman and Nanny Chen stood at the gate of the North Courtyard with a smile on their faces. They spotted the stubborn old man dressed in white from head to toe in the crowd.

"Lonely Doctor, long time no see."

"I am honored to meet you, mother..." Nanny Chen stepped forward quickly and stopped Gu Duzhong who was about to pay his respects, and at the same time stopped him from saying anything.

"When you are away from home, you can save on those etiquettes. Sir, you are tired from the journey, why don't you go back to your room to wash up and take a rest? We can talk in detail later, okay?" The beautiful woman suggested with a smile.

In addition to his overly upright character, the lonely imperial physician's personality and medical skills were impeccable, so he was always respected by beautiful women in the capital.

"Thank you, Madam." Gu Duzhong glanced at the beautiful woman who was standing there looking at him with a smile, changed his address, bowed, and then followed Doctor Wang and Meixiang to walk towards the courtyard where Doctor Wang lived.

"I know you like quietness, so I reserved the innermost room for you. I will live next door to you. You can call me at any time if you have any problems. Is this arrangement okay?" Doctor Wang led him into the three courtyards on the right.

"Just make your own arrangements. I'm fine with anything." As the door opened, the first thing Dr. Lonely saw was a small living room with six chairs and a matching coffee table neatly placed in it.

There is a door on each side of the living room. The room on the left is slightly smaller and is for the child she brought with her. The room on the right is larger and is simply divided in the middle by a carved hollow wooden board that is one person tall. The front is used as a study and the back is a bedroom. There are tables, chairs, benches, pens, inkstones, paper, quilts and pillows in it. In modern terms, you can move in at any time.

Meixiang and Doctor Wang, who had been paying attention to Gu Duzhong's expression, sensitively caught the fleeting look of surprise and satisfaction on his face.

"Very good, Miss. You are so thoughtful." A rare smile appeared on Gu Duzhong's face, which had been expressionless for years.

"Sir, you are welcome. Since you are my elder, you can just call me Xiang'er like my master. Sir, please take a rest first. Is there anything you want to eat for lunch or anything you need to avoid?"

"The guest does as the host does."

"Then I'll let Madam and Aunt Li take care of the arrangements. Sir, if you need anything, just tell the people in the mansion at any time. Just treat it as your own home and don't be restrained."

"Lonely old man, you should take a rest first. We can talk after dinner if you have anything to say."

Gu Duzhong nodded and watched Doctor Wang lead Meixiang and others out of the courtyard. His own child came in with the help of the people from the Liu residence, carrying the luggage, followed by two sneaky and curious little heads.

He suddenly began to look forward to his future days at the Liu Mansion. It turned out that he was too embarrassed to refuse his old friend's repeated invitations, so he planned to come here to fulfill the friendship between him and Doctor Wang, who both worked in the Imperial Hospital.

He really didn't expect that the Liu Mansion had arranged everything so well. The beautiful woman, the daughter of the Feng Mansion, was the current queen, needless to say. But the eldest princess, who was born and raised in this remote place, made him look at her with new eyes.

The teenage girl was graceful and elegant, and her manners and upbringing were no less than those of the ladies who grew up in the capital. She was accepted by the arrogant Imperial Doctor Wang, so her character, knowledge and qualifications must be good.

It is true that a dragon gives birth to a dragon and a phoenix gives birth to a phoenix, and a mouse’s child will dig holes, the lonely doctor murmured to himself with emotion.

Although Xuanzhou Prefecture is not far from Liuzhou Prefecture, the ancient means of transportation are really disappointing. It took three days of shaky walking to get there. In order to take care of the lonely doctor and his servant who came all the way, the lunch at Liu Mansion today was a bit light. The main table was mainly stir-fried vegetables, but a bowl of hot and sour soup made the lonely doctor feel comfortable and his appetite was opened.

When he picked up the bowl and prepared to add more, Doctor Wang stopped him with a smile and said, "Old Lonely, although this soup is delicious and appetizing, you should not drink too much or you may hurt your spleen and stomach."

"Oh," Doctor Lonely blushed upon hearing this, "Excuse me, this is really the first time I drink this soup, I couldn't help it."

"Haha, if Mr. Lonely likes it, I will make it for you often in the future." Meixiang seemed not to notice his embarrassment and changed the subject with a smile.

"Ms. Xiang'er made this herself?" Doctor Lonely exclaimed in surprise, which once again broke his inner defenses.

Seeing the surprised expression on his old friend's face, Doctor Wang couldn't help but burst into laughter.
