"I think everyone must be curious about why the scar on Chengmo's face has faded so much that it is almost disappearing." After Gu Lingze finished speaking, he took out a jade bottle from his sleeve and placed it on the table.
“Here’s the secret.”
"A month ago, I helped the Green Bull Demon transform..." Next, Gu Lingze briefly recounted the process of obtaining the Tianling Immortal Grass.
"After obtaining the magical grass, the cave completely collapsed. The thing in this bottle is the magical milk produced by the magical grass."
The whole family was stunned when they heard what happened, just like Gu Xiuyi was at the beginning.
"Cheng Mo's scar gradually faded after being rubbed with water mixed with spiritual milk. I also gave him and my eldest brother the spiritual milk to drink."
Everyone looked at Zhao Chengmo and Gu Xiuyi, and they both nodded.
Gu Xiuyi said: "After drinking it, I feel a lot lighter and stronger, and my old injuries from the battlefield are also recovering."
All these changes are related to the spiritual water that Gu Lingze gave them to drink during this period.
The others were still very surprised. If others knew the existence of such a treasure, there would definitely be a bloody storm.
"Lingze, don't show this thing to anyone in the future. Make sure to keep it well hidden." Xie Xiru warned.
"Don't worry, Grandfather. I have a place... where I can hide this thing. As long as I don't take it out, no one in this world can get it."
Everyone felt relieved after hearing this, otherwise it would be too dangerous.
Gu Lingze took the two teapots that had been prepared in advance, poured one drop into one pot and two drops into the other.
"This pot is for grandparents, mother, and uncle. You have weak constitutions. If you drink too much at once, it will be bad for you."
"This pot is for Dad, Uncle Qian and my second brother. I will prepare another one for my uncle."
Before anyone else could react, Old Madam Xie waved her hand and said, "Lingze, Grandma knows you are filial, but Grandma is old and it would be a waste to drink this treasure. You should keep my share for yourself."
Gu Lingze smiled and shook his head, saying: "No matter what rare treasures or Hebi Suizhu are, they are not as important as the health of our family."
Gu Xiuyi also advised: "Grandma, Lingze is right. Health is the most important thing."
Gu Lingze poured the tea and placed it in front of everyone. He then served three cups of tea, each with a drop of spiritual milk, which was for him, Cheng Mo and his eldest brother.
Seeing how persistent he was, everyone picked up their cups and drank.
After everyone finished drinking, they went back to their rooms to rest. Halfway through the journey, Xie Xiru quickened his pace.
"Master, please go away..." Before Mrs. Xie could finish her words, her stomach began to feel uncomfortable.
The servants came in and out all night, all busy boiling water for the masters of each courtyard to bathe.
The next day, Xie Qingwan gave out silver rewards. The people in the kitchen had been trembling with fear all night because they heard that the masters all had stomach upsets, but they didn't expect to get silver as well.
After some inquiries, we found out that the young master had brought food from outside, but he didn't cook it cleanly, which caused everyone to have stomach upset.
Gu Lingze felt relieved when he saw everyone's condition in the morning. Although they had been busy all night, they were all in high spirits, especially the older ones, who seemed to be a few years younger.
After breakfast, several people set out for court. Xie Qingwan wanted to invite those ladies to her house today, so Gu Lingze was responsible for sending his grandmother and uncle back to the Taifu Mansion.
"Uncle, this is for you." Gu Lingze handed over a bottle, then took out another bottle and said, "Drink the spiritual tea once every three days. Just use the amount I prepared yesterday."
After Gu Lingze came out of the Taifu Mansion, he turned around and went to Uncle Xu.
As soon as I entered the door, everyone was having breakfast. Because Gu Tianhua and his friends had to attend the morning court, the Gu family had an early breakfast time. Most other families would have breakfast at this time.
"Brother." Lingzi rushed over to him as soon as she saw him. Gu Lingze held her in his arms and rubbed her forehead affectionately.
A hint of envy flashed across Jinzi's eyes, but the teacher told him that he was already a student and should be more steady in the future.
"Lingze is here. Have you had breakfast?" Aunt Tao greeted.
"Auntie, I've eaten before." Gu Lingze said with a smile, "But I still want to eat the egg pancakes you made, they smell delicious."
"I almost forgot that you're a greedy cat." Aunt Tao joked as she spread bean paste on the omelet and handed it to him.
The dinner table here is always lively. There is no rule of not talking while eating or sleeping. Gu Lingze took a bite of the egg pancake and asked, "Brother Wu, I heard from Cheng Mo that you resigned from your position as captain. Why is that?"
Obviously, the others didn't know this news and looked over in surprise.
Brother Wu was stared at by the whole family and felt a little embarrassed. "I just want to continue to run the snack business with my husband in peace and stability. I don't want to be an official."
Mr. Xu was moved and held Brother Wu's hand, and there was tenderness in both of their eyes.
The whole family looked at the couple with smiles on their faces.
"Why didn't Zhao come with you today?" Uncle Xu asked.
"Since yesterday, he has been going to court in the morning. The emperor appointed him as the deputy commander of the Jinwu Guard."
"Really?" Everyone was very surprised.
"Well, I came here for another thing today." Gu Lingze took out the jade bottle while speaking.
So, what happened at Gu’s house yesterday was played out again here today.
"Brother, my body hurts." Lingzi sobbed and nestled in Gu Lingze's arms.
Jin Zi's eyes also turned red. Gu Lingze picked them up and used his spiritual energy to help them relieve their pain. Gradually, they fell asleep in his arms.
Gu Lingze put the two of them on the bed, covered them with a quilt, and picked up a pen and paper to write and draw on the desk beside them.
Time passed quickly and it was afternoon. Gu Lingze put down his pen, stretched his body and shook his neck, then went to the kitchen.
After boiling the water, he asked everyone to take a bath, and he helped Lingzi take a bath as well.
After the vegetable porridge was cooked, everyone sat together and ate some with pickles.
"Our restaurant will be open in a while, but there are still many things to prepare."
He looked at Shopkeeper Qiu and said, "Uncle Qiu, you have experience in this area. Try the food from other restaurants in Beijing during this period. We also need to find two chefs who are proficient in northern and southern cuisine."
Then he looked at Uncle Xu, "The waiters and errand boys, the kitchen helpers, and the food procurement, all these things will require Uncle Xu's hard work."
"Brother Xu, there's something I'm afraid only you can do. Some of our snacks have common names. Why don't you come up with some nice and elegant names? You can also divide them into four categories: spring, summer, autumn and winter according to the ingredients."
Then tasks were assigned to Zhou Qiaofu and his wife and Qiu Yang, and everyone was very active.
