Chapter 768 Extra 46

Although Gu Shilin didn't understand why his grandmother didn't let her subordinates do this.

But Gu Shilin didn't think much about it and went to the women's clinic to get medicine as her grandmother said.

Of course, there were only women inside. Gu Shilin thought it was inconvenient to go in, so he waited outside for a while.

Gu Shilin didn't get off the carriage until Ma Shuangshuang got off work. Seeing Ma Shuangshuang, he bowed and said, "Doctor Ma, I'm Gu Shilin. My grandmother prescribed some medicine at the clinic and asked me to come and get it. This is my grandmother's jade pendant."

Ma Shuangshuang recognized the jade pendant as soon as she saw it.

However, Ma Shuangshuang did not expect that the man in front of her was tall, elegant and handsome, and his conversation was very polite.

It turned out that this was the old lady's grandson.

Ma Shuangshuang had heard the old man mention it before, but she didn't pay much attention to it.

She was stunned for a moment, then quickly said, "Don't be so formal. Wait a moment, I'll wrap it up."

After walking a few steps, Ma Shuangshuang looked at Gu Shilin standing at the door and said, "The clinic is closed. There's no one here anymore. Come in and sit for a while!"

Gu Shilin nodded and entered the clinic.

This was the first time Gu Shilin saw a women's clinic.

It's very spacious inside, and it's very clean and decorated. It's very different from a clinic, but you can tell that everything is in good order.

Moreover, he sat in the teahouse opposite for a while, and naturally saw that she was the Doctor Ma that his grandmother had mentioned.

Gu Shilin didn't expect that the doctor with such excellent medical skills that his grandmother mentioned was actually a little girl.

It looks smaller than him.

This made Gu Shilin feel incredible.

Of course, he had heard about the girls' academy while doing business outside.

But he never came, and I don’t know what happened.

Perhaps influenced by his grandmother, Gu Shilin respects women in his heart.

There is no thought of looking down on women.

His grandmother was a woman who was as capable as any man.

Back then, the Gu family's medicinal materials business was deliberately suppressed, and there were endless fights within the Gu family, which almost led to problems. It was grandma who used thundering means to save the family business.

Although grandma has now retired behind the scenes, Gu Shilin has known since childhood what she has done for the family and her abilities.

Gu Shilin didn't sit down, but just stood aside for a while.

He watched Ma Shuangshuang packing medicinal herbs.

Ma Shuangshuang was very careful and precise about the medicinal materials. After checking them twice and making sure there were no problems, she wrapped them up carefully, packed them up and handed them to Gu Shilin.

"These are packaged herbs with instructions for use written on them."

Gu Shilin nodded, "Thank you, Doctor Ma."

Ma Shuangshuang looked at Gu Shilin's polite manner and felt embarrassed. She said, "You're welcome. This is what a doctor should do."

Ma Shuangshuang originally thought that she would have time to deliver it to the old lady in two days.

Gu Shilin was slightly stunned when he saw the girl's clean and clear eyes.

Ma Shuangshuang was not a beauty in the traditional sense, but she did not use any rouge, powder or lip balm that women used nowadays. She was clean and did not even have any incense, only a faint medicinal scent.

It gives people a very comfortable feeling.

Gu Shilin is in charge of the family business. When he travels to various places, he comes into contact with high-ranking officials or merchants.

He had contact with few women, but most of the women he had contact with used rouge, powder, incense,

Probably because he was always dealing with medicinal herbs, the women in his grandmother's mother's family were not allowed to use incense and rouge and powder, for fear that these things would destroy the medicinal properties of the herbs when they came into contact with them.

So it is with all families.

After a long time, Gu Shilin was no longer used to the smell of rouge, powder, and perfume.

I prefer the purer scent.

That’s why Gu Shilin was unwilling to have contact with women before, but he didn’t feel any discomfort when talking to Ma Shuangshuang.

When Ma Shuangshuang closed the door and prepared to go back, she saw Gu Shilin still standing there and asked, "Master Gu, is there anything else?"

"Doctor Ma, are you going home? I'm going back by carriage, so I'll give you a ride."

Ma Shuangshuang quickly waved her hand and said, "No need to be so polite. I live very close by, just a few steps away."

Ma Shuangshuang is not used to bothering anyone.

Studying at a girls' college in recent years has also helped her develop a habit of independence.

She was afraid of troubling others.

Besides, the place where I live is just across the street from the residence, which is very close and convenient.

After Ma Shuangshuang returned, she cooked a meal in the kitchen, had a simple meal, and then went to the study to organize her notes.

…

However, Gu Shilin returned home looking a little absent-minded.

As someone who had experienced this, the old lady smiled quietly.

She understands her grandson.

He usually doesn't like talking to women in the boudoir because of his family's medicinal materials business, and he is not used to the smell of rouge and powder.

He went there and came back without any sign of discomfort. It seemed that he had no objection to Doctor Ma.

This shows that Ma Shuangshuang is still different to him.

It means there is hope.

The old lady thought about it and her eyes narrowed into slits with laughter.

The old lady said, "This Doctor Ma is quite capable. I heard that she graduated from a women's college and her academic performance was always top-notch. She always won prizes on exams. Even the princess praised her highly. There are records about her in the newspapers."

Gu Shilin became interested when he heard this and asked, "Grandma, what records?"

The old lady took out the newspaper she had obtained.

"This is a newspaper from a year ago. It shows the first batch of outstanding graduates from the Women's College, and the top graduate is Ma Shuangshuang."

As she spoke, the old lady handed the newspaper to Gu Shilin to read.

Gu Shilin took a look and saw that it was indeed about Ma Shuangshuang. It talked about Ma Shuangshuang's hard work in the academy and how she had won first-class scholarships many times.

I am either first or second in almost every exam.

She also talked about what she did every day. During her time studying at the academy, she helped many people with her medical skills...

Looking at the records in the newspaper, Gu Shilin thought of Ma Shuangshuang and his expression changed slightly.

The old lady sighed, "Ma Shuangshuang went to a girls' academy at the age of ten and graduated through her own hard work. She's a very hardworking girl, and now she's sixteen."

"I heard that she was the one who helped the princess discover lime and make cement, but she was humble and hardworking and never talked about it. I still asked around and got the news..."

The old lady told Gu Shilin what she knew.

Gu Shilin was lost in thought. After a while, he felt something was wrong and looked at his grandmother and asked, "Grandma, do you like her very much?"

"Of course. I think girls who are hardworking and kind are more likable."

"Oh, by the way, Grandma also heard that their clinic is short of medicinal materials. They want to find a channel to buy some high-quality and reasonably priced medicinal materials so that they can more conveniently take care of more people. The truth is that not everyone in the women's clinic can afford expensive medicinal materials. I go there to get the medicine very cheaply..."

"You have good medicinal herbs, you can actually provide them to the Women's Clinic. The price is cheaper. Ma Shuangshuang is the director of the Women's Clinic, you can tell her directly."

"Since the Gu family is in the medicinal materials business, they should also do some good things. Some medicinal materials can be sold to merchants at market prices, but if this can help more people's clinics, the Gu family can also do some work."

Of course, the old lady wanted to match her grandson with Ma Shuangshuang.

I just don’t know what Ma Shuangshuang is thinking.

Although the Gu family is wealthy and powerful, she knows that Ma Shuangshuang is not the kind of person who is greedy for fame and fortune.

She has her own ideas.
