Traveling through ancient times

After the college examination, the results will be announced on the fifth day, which is like the day when the college entrance examination results are announced. Gu Dalian doesn’t want to miss it!

"Master An, my granddaughter's birthday is on the eighth day of the first lunar month, which is not in these few days. The child had a hard life in the past and never had a birthday. I want to celebrate her birthday. What do you think... let her rest for two days before leaving?"

Feng Qinglan wanted to wait for the results to be announced, but she also felt really sorry for her niece and really wanted to celebrate her birthday!

Since Eunuch An has come out and is not in a hurry, I will agree readily!

"Since it's Princess Rong'an's birthday, we should hold a banquet so that we can also take part in the celebration!"

"I'll send someone to take you around these days. Some places here have nice views!"

"Thank you, madam!"

Gu Dalian stared at Feng Qinglan's increasingly delicate face with eyes wide open, muttering to herself:

"Oh my god, my great-aunt looks so young and beautiful, with skin as white as snow, as delicate and tender as a young girl, but I have to call her 'old lady'! This is really too inappropriate!"

She couldn't help but shake her head, trying hard to get rid of this strange feeling, but her eyes could not move away from Feng Qinglan's face.

Gu Dalian's scorching gaze made Feng Qinglan feel a little puzzled. She patted her hand that was holding her arm and said with a kind smile:

"You kid, why do you look at people like this? Don't you recognize this old face?"

Gu Dalian did not shy away and said with a smile:

"Grandma, don't you ever look in the mirror? If others see us, they will think we are sisters. You call yourself old man, and Dalian finds it really weird!"

Feng Qinglan narrowed her eyes and said angrily:

"You are just a nice girl, but ever since you gave me that medicine to drink every day, my health has indeed improved a lot! A few days ago, the court doctor diagnosed my pulse and said that all my old illnesses have been cured. I still want to try that medicine!"

Seeing Feng Qinglan's suggestive look, Gu Dalian knew that he was deliberately saying this for Eunuch An to hear, so she quickly replied:

"Oh, the liquid medicine you mentioned was obtained by my granddaughter after running all over Yingdang Mountain and risking her life. Some time ago, someone offered a huge sum of money to get a few drops, but she didn't give him any!"

"I dare not evenly share it. If I take a drop of this, I will lose a drop. If I need it to save my life, I won't be able to buy it even if I spend money!"

Gu Dalian nodded repeatedly and said:

"That's right. It is said that this stuff is hard to come by. If you have back pain, numbness in hands and feet, just take two drops and you'll be fine. Old illnesses will recover if you take it for a few days. Even broken arms and legs may be cured after taking it for a month or so!"

Upon hearing this, Eunuch An, who was drinking tea at the side, could no longer calm down. After a moment of silence, he finally couldn't help but say:

"Is the medicine the county lady mentioned really so miraculous? I wonder if it can cure the years of bone pain?"

Eunuch An now has severe knee pain and has been taking medicine all year round. Although the old emperor sent the director of the Imperial Hospital to see him personally, the effect of the medicine is getting less and less. In the past few days, the pain has started again. Maybe it's going to rain!

This kind of pain goes deep into the bone marrow. If an ordinary person didn't have a good doctor to treat him, he would have been in so much pain that he would have wanted to commit suicide!

"Master An finally asked the right question. This bone pain that has lasted for many years will be completely cured in about ten days!"

Upon hearing this, Eunuch An was so excited that he could hardly hold back his expression!

"I wonder if the county lady still has this medicine? Can you give some to our family? You can ask for as much silver as you want!"

Gu Dalian was delighted, the fish had taken the bait, and it was being produced continuously in this space!

He showed his difficulty calmly:

"Master An, I still have a little of this medicine. I'm saving it for future life-saving use... I don't know if you want this medicine..."

Eunuch An felt relieved when he heard the tone. He sighed, put down the teacup, touched his knees and said:

"To be honest with you, County Lady, I injured my knee when I was young, and I've been in unbearable pain for more than a decade, especially on rainy days. It hurts so much that I want to bang my head against the wall. Fortunately, the Emperor is so gracious that he ordered Shang Yuanzheng to treat me. I've been taking medicine all these years, and I can't leave it for a day. If I don't take it for a meal, I'll be worse than death..."

Gu Dalian felt very sorry. This kind of torture had lasted for more than ten years. How could Eunuch An be so tolerant?

"Sir An, I only have about half a bottle here. You must have suffered a lot accompanying the emperor, and you have been dedicated to protecting the emperor's safety. You need this medicine more than we do. Please wait, Dalian will get it for you!"

Eunuch An was almost crying with joy, his long-standing illness was finally going to be cured!

When Gu Dalian brought it, she saw a small glass bottle half filled with transparent and clear green liquid. Her small hands like tender green onions placed the glass bottle on the table in front of Eunuch An!

"Just mix it with water and drink it once a day. Two drops each time is enough! In half a month, you will definitely be healthy and pain-free!"

Eunuch An took the glass bottle with a slight tremor, opened the wax seal, and a sweet fragrance wafted out, and he seemed to feel better!

The maid handed over a cup of warm water and a pair of silver chopsticks. Eunuch An personally took the chopsticks and poked them into the glass bottle. He took it out again and dripped two drops into the cup of warm water. He stirred it with the chopsticks, his eyes full of crystal clearness!

Then, he picked up the teacup and drank it down with one gulp. The sweet and pure fragrance went straight down his throat to every part of his body!

I don’t know if it was a psychological effect, but after drinking the glass of water, Eunuch An felt that the pain in his knees was much less!

He couldn't suppress the smile on his face, and he already had an idea in his mind. If this medicine could completely get rid of his pain, he would help with Princess Hua'an's affairs in the future as long as it did not conflict with the interests of the emperor, and treat it as his own family affair!

He took out a stack of banknotes from his sleeve and said:

"County Lady, here are 20,000 taels of silver notes. I didn't bring much with me this time. I'll give you the rest when we return to the capital!"

Gu Dalian saw Eunuch An's reaction and knew that the matter was settled, and smiled again:

"Master An, judging from your reaction, it should have taken effect. Perhaps, your leg will be healed in less than half a month. If there is any left, you must keep it properly and never let anyone else get it!"

"As for the silver, we'll talk about it later!"

As Gu Dalian spoke, she looked as if she was in pain, which made Eunuch An laugh so hard that he couldn't stop!

Eunuch An said, "Fortunately, I asked those people to go out and buy some local specialties. If it were here, I'm afraid this thing would have changed hands!"

Gu Dalian was stunned. Is there something fishy going on here?

Then Eunuch An smiled and said:

"Haha... Princess Hua'an is in Beijing this time, so please read more, think more and talk less. If there is anything you don't understand, you can ask my godson, Little Li, for help if you can't see me, an old servant!"

"Be careful when you encounter something. The noble ladies in Kyoto seem easy to get along with, but they often judge people by their appearance. If you pay more attention, I believe you will be able to tell the difference in no time!"

When Gu Dalian heard that eunuch An, who had originally called himself "our master" in a condescending manner, had now changed his address to "old servant", she thought it was a clear sign of goodwill, so she quickly stood up and thanked him!

"Thank you, Lord An, for your advice. Dalian will remember it!"
