"Mother, Yu'er doesn't want to learn." Gu Xiaoran showed his rebellious nature as soon as he recognized one or two herbs.

He tossed the herbs aside and glanced at the bustling street outside.

"Yu'er wants to go out and play. Mother, will you come with me?"

Xiao Ran's words drew the attention of both Physician Hu and Zhao San.

The physician wondered, whose child is this little girl? How come she calls her master "mother" so fluently?

Zhao San was thinking that now that the battle was over, Xiao Yan's sweetheart, who had joined the army, should have returned.

Qiu Yan: "If Yu'er dares to sneak out, her morning run tomorrow will be half again as long!"

"Huh? Add half?" Gu Xiaoran frowned, thinking of how exhausted she was this morning.

But he really wanted to go out and have fun.

He pouted and reluctantly began identifying herbs with Qiu Yan.

“Angelica, astragalus, agarwood, notoginseng… so many, Yu’er really can’t learn them all, Mother, maybe Xiao Ran can learn them, you can let him learn them.”

Qiu Yan... that brat, he actually tried to play tricks on her just to change back into men's clothing.

If Xuanming and Xuanying hadn't resolved those troubles for him in time, do he think he would be able to live such a peaceful life now?

"The inheritance of my medical skills depends on Yu'er and Ling'er. Yu'er, don't let me down." Qiu Yan noticed that Gu Xiaoran seemed to be uninterested in anything except playing.

However, she really wanted to train a little apprentice of her own.

Interests need to be cultivated, don't they?

Qiu Yan nodded as she thought about it.

Gu Xiaoran: "Isn't there still Auntie... Okay, alright, Yu'er will do her best."

At the same time, the Li family in Lingnan Village,

Sitting alone in his room, Gu Qian pondered how to tell his second uncle about his upcoming marriage to Yan Yan.

After much thought, he fell into deep despair.

"Qian'er, what are you thinking about?" Li Zheng entered the room from outside, bringing a cup of hot tea and handing it to Gu Qian.

"Master." Gu Qian's calm face was tinged with conflict.

He took a sip of hot tea.

"My disciple and Yan Yan have decided to get married on the nineteenth day of the second month after the New Year. Does Master have any opinions?"

"February 19th?" Li Zheng paused, then continued:

"Master has no objection, as long as you decide." He genuinely had no objection; he was very grateful that Qiu Yan remained loyal to her eldest disciple.

It's rushed, but it's alright; two months is enough time for him to prepare.

Li Zheng had always hoped that Gu Qian could get married soon.

"But...I..."

"Qian'er, didn't you two get engaged a long time ago?" Li Zheng's words reminded Gu Qian.

Yes, they've been engaged for so long, isn't marriage the natural thing to do?

"But……"

"Qian'er, Master knows what you're worried about." Li Zheng sat down next to Gu Qian.

"Master will help you." He knew that Qian'er was a little insecure.

This was the first time he had seen a lack of confidence in Gu Qian, and he couldn't help but feel a little sad.

"No, no need, I'll say it myself." Gu Qian shook his head, the tension on his face lingering for a long time.

"Put aside your worries, your master believes in you." Although Li Zheng's words were meant to comfort him, he genuinely believed that with Miss Qiu by his side, Qian'er's eye condition would surely recover.

"Yes." Gu Qian nodded solemnly.

Just as he mustered his courage and was about to tell his second uncle the wedding date,

There was a knocking on the door from the outside.

Li Zheng got up and opened the door.

Outside the door stood Qiu Dafu.

"Brother Li, I've come to see Gu Qian."
