Chapter 390 Anyway, just don’t get involved with your master

Gu Xiaoxi thought about it seriously and replied, "The earliest I can expect is probably by the end of the year. I'll try to get rid of them before the New Year."

"This is about the same time as we agreed on before, and the two siblings won't think too much about it." Ying San thought this was a good idea. If it was too early, someone as smart as Zhong Chengyu would definitely think too much.

"Yes, I also wanted to speed up before, but then I thought Zhong Chengyu is too shrewd, so rushing is not a good thing. Besides, his condition is indeed not ordinary, and he can't get better before the time comes." Gu Xiaoxi also thought so.

After the matter was decided, the next day Gu Xiaoxi took the two of them and Diguo to the mountains to practice, specifically practicing talismans.

These days, they have gained some basic skills. About a month later, Gu Xiaoxi finally taught them everything they needed to learn, and Ying Si then set out on the journey to the imperial capital.

After Ying Si left, Ying San and Di Guo did not stop learning.

In addition to learning new skills from Gu Xiaoxi every day, I also need to consolidate what I have learned before.

Especially Diguo, sometimes he would go out secretly to practice martial arts in the middle of the night. Several times he encountered bandits coming down from the mountains, and he simply used them to practice.

Gu Xiaoxi followed Diguo out several times, and seeing how hard he worked reminded her of a former senior brother.

There is a saying that goes "the early bird catches the worm." That senior brother started out knowing nothing, but eventually became one of the best masters in the sect.

Maybe a ground pot would also work.

Knowing how hard Diguo worked, Gu Xiaoxi would give him some spiritual spring water every time she treated him, so that he could recover faster.

…

Time passed quickly and it was the end of the year. Zhong Chengyu's illness was finally cured.

After a year away from home, Zhong Manman missed her family terribly, especially her parents who loved her dearly. However, the thought of getting married when she returned made her yearning subside.

"Brother, why don't we stay here for a while before going back?" she said to her eldest brother.

"You don't want to go back and get married, do you?" Zhong Chengyu could see what his sister was thinking.

Zhong Manman knew that she couldn't hide it from her eldest brother, so she could only nod and admit: "Brother, if I really want to get married, I want to marry someone I love.

I wouldn’t say I like it, but at least I don’t hate it.

But, I've seen the guy that my parents like before. He's a selfish guy."

Zhong Chengyu hadn't been very happy with this marriage before, and after hearing what his sister said, he became even more dissatisfied. He said with an embarrassed look on his face, "It's not easy to cancel this marriage!"

After hearing this, Zhong Manman pouted and her eyes became moist.

At this time, Gu Xiaoxi returned because she had left something behind. She happened to hear the conversation between the brother and sister, so she walked in.

When Zhong Manman saw Sister Xiaoxi come in, she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and turned her head away.

"I didn't mean to eavesdrop on your conversation. It's you who didn't close the door!" Gu Xiaoxi walked to the table and took away the needle that had just dropped.

When she reached the door, she stopped, looked back at the two siblings and said, "It's not difficult to cancel the engagement."

"Please give me some advice, Miss Xiaoxi!" Zhong Chengyu stood up and bowed.

Gu Xiaoxi looked at Zhong Manman and said, "Think about what the major families care about most?"

"Make money!" Zhong Manman spat out two words.

Zhong Chengyu's face darkened. He thought of the answer to Gu Xiaoxi's question, but if he did that, it would be even more difficult for his sister to get married in the future.

Gu Xiaoxi noticed Zhong Chengyu's concerns and patted his chest, saying, "Isn't there a miracle doctor?"

Zhong Chengyu suddenly understood what was going on and bowed in thanks, "Miss, this is a brilliant idea. Thank you for your guidance."

"What are you thanking me for? I charged you a lot for medical consultations, so just consider this as a gift." Gu Xiaoxi laughed and left.

At this time, Ying San came back with Ying Si.

Gu Xiaoxi didn't expect Ying Si to come back at this time. She thought he would spend the New Year in the imperial capital.

"Miss, the master asked me to bring you a lot of good things." Ying Si's face was full of excitement.

Gu Xiaoxi smiled slightly and said, "Ah San, take Ah Si to wash, change clothes and fill your stomach. Nothing is more important than filling your stomach."

Why……

Ying San happily drove the carriage to the farm, and then took Ying Si to bathe, change clothes and eat.

Di Guo waited until they left before stepping forward and asking, "Miss, Zhong Chengyu is well now. When are they planning to leave?"

"I don't know yet. If Zhong Chengyu doesn't leave before the New Year, he will definitely leave after the New Year, but it's hard to say about Zhong Manman." Gu Xiaoxi was worried that Zhong Manman would stay.

She trusted Chen Qinian and Ma Weiwei, but she couldn't trust the two from the Zhong family.

Di Guo thought for a moment and suggested, "Why don't you talk to Master Chen and Miss Ma about this? It would be easier for them to talk than for you."

Gu Xiaoxi thought about it carefully and felt that what Diguo said made sense. She went to find Ma Weiwei and asked her to give it a try.

Ma Weiwei asked directly, "Sister Xiaoxi, don't you like Manman?"

"That's not the case, it's just that there are some things I don't want them to know." Gu Xiaoxi replied.

After hearing this, Ma Weiwei lowered her voice and asked mysteriously, "Sister Xiaoxi, are you going to teach us something else?"

Gu Xiaoxi...

This child is so studious that he can think of everything in that direction.

Okay!

As long as they are happy.

She said seriously, "That's about right, but I can't tell people directly, or I might offend them."

"I know, I'll go find out as soon as possible." Ma Weiwei nodded repeatedly.

Gu Xiaoxi arranged this matter and returned to her yard, waiting for Ying Si to come over and talk.

Ying Si was more impatient, so he came over quickly after eating and drinking.

When he entered the room and saw the girl drying medicinal herbs, he went forward to help.

When Gu Xiaoxi saw Ying Si coming, she put the herbs on the ground and asked him to come into the house to talk.

After Ying Si entered, he handed Gu Xiaoxi a list: "Miss, this is what the master arranged for you in the imperial capital. You can deal with it when you go there.

During your absence, I have sent someone to take over."

When Gu Xiaoxi opened it, she saw some shop deeds inside, including those in the imperial capital and some in cities near the imperial capital.

Ying Si handed the girl another letter.

Gu Xiaoxi took the letter and opened it to read. It explained the purpose of these shops and finally asked her what she planned to do with them in the future.

After she finished reading the letter, she asked again, "Besides these, does your master have any other words for me?"

“The master said that those people in the imperial mausoleum were trapped inside by the eldest prince’s men, and it is estimated that there will be no movement before the New Year.

The Third Master is dismantling Concubine Yun's influence within the court. Furthermore, her mother is currently locked in a life-and-death struggle with the Empress. Ying Si outlined the situation in the imperial capital.

Gu Xiaoxi couldn't help laughing after hearing this: "Third Master really plans to seize this opportunity to take off."

"If he can't fly, he will fall badly." Ying Si continued.

"Throughout the dynasties, too many people have died for that position, and he is not one more. Anyway, just keep your master away from it." Gu Xiaoxi felt that it would be better to just be a spectator.

"The master doesn't want to participate, but..." Ying Si hesitated to speak.
