Su Rong looked at Dr. Zhan, anyone who could last more than ten years under Zhang Ping must be a smart person.
In fact, Duan Xiao should have been a smart person too, but he was never given a chance by Shen Yi; he was stabbed as soon as they met. Dr. Zhan clearly saw that Su Rong was ruthless and unconventional in her methods, but indeed embodied a sense of benevolence and morality.
She did not immediately agree with Dr. Zhan, instead, she asked him, "What about your two grandsons and one granddaughter? Where are they now?"
Dr. Zhan immediately responded, "The Third Young Master has kept his promise and to let me see them as soon as possible. They’ve been brought here to the camp. Miss Seven, would you like to meet them? I shall call them right away."
"Alright, call them, I’ll meet them." Su Rong nodded.
Dr. Zhan responded, and immediately left.
Shortly after, Dr. Zhan returned with two young boys and a little girl.
All three children were of exquisite beauty. The two boys had handsome features and straight postures, revealing their martial training. The most attractive one was indeed the little girl, with her round face like a snowball, big black eyes, she radiated with a vibrant aura.
At this moment, Su Rong could understand why Dr. Zhan was willing to risk everything for his family. His grandsons and granddaughter, whom he had raised, were truly exceptional. Their eyes were all filled with integrity.
The two boys were somewhat reserved but showed no fear. The little girl appeared quite relaxed, and when she saw Su Rong looking at her, she gave Su Rong a smile, showing her teeth.
Su Rong gestured to her, "Come over."
The little girl came over to Su Rong.
"What’s your name?" Su Rong asked.
The little girl replied crisply, "Ziyuan."
"Zhan Ziyuan." Su Rong nodded, "What do you like to do most?"
Ziyuan immediately replied, "I like to learn medicine with my grandfather."
"Good." Su Rong patted her head, took out a bottle of medicine from her bosom and handed it to her, "Keep learning well, this is a welcoming gift from Sister Su."
Zhan Ziyuan blinked her big eyes, hesitant to accept it, she turned to look at Dr. Zhan.
Dr. Zhan did not know what Su Rong had given, but he knew it must be a rare medicine, otherwise as a doctor, he would not be lacking it, and she would not give it as a welcoming gift, he said, "Quickly thank Miss Seven!"
Zhan Ziyuan took it in hand, "Thank you, Sister Su."
"Good girl." Su Rong waved her hand, "Go on!"
Zhan Ziyuan returned to Dr. Zhan’s side.
Su Rong then turned her attention to the two young boys, "What are your names?"
The older boy gave a bow, "Miss Seven, my name is Zhan Ziyu."
The younger boy mimicked his brother’s bow, "Miss Seven, my name is Zhan Zihan."
"What are each of you good at?" Su Rong asked.
Zhan Ziyu said, "I excel at studying and trading," he scratched his head, "I also understand some medicinal principles."
Zhan Zihan said, "I don’t like dealing with herbs and medicine pots, I like martial arts and reading the Military Book."
Su Rong nodded, she asked them, "Would you be willing to follow me to Nanchu? Ziyu could take the imperial examination to become an official, and Zihan could join the military."
Both of them, likely instructed by their grandfather, responded enthusiastically and assuredly in unison, "We are willing."
"Good." Su Rong smiled, took out a copy of Wang Cheng’s policy discussion, and gave it to Zhan Ziyu, "This is Wang Cheng’s policy discussion. Despite being a copy, it is rare. This is my welcoming gift for you. I hope that after you follow me to Nanchu, you’ll pass the imperial examination, serve in the imperial court, and help me govern Nanchu."
Zhan Ziyu reached out to receive it, his face filled with excitement, "Thank you, Miss Seven."
As scholars, none were unfamiliar with Wang Cheng’s policies on governing a country.
Su Rong then took out another scroll, handing it to Zhan Zihan, "This is the memoir of the famous general Zhang Wu. This is also a copy and is your welcoming gift. I hope that after you follow me to Nanchu, you will become the great general of Nanchu in the future."
Zhan Zihan’s eyes lit up, he was equally excited, "Sister Su, you’re really nice."
Su Rong smiled, "You must work hard."
"Mmm." Zhan Zihan nodded heavily.
Su Rong turned to Dr. Zhan, smiled and said, "Dr. Zhan, your two grandsons and granddaughter are truly exceptional. I agree with your request. From now on, you and your family will follow me. If I have a future, you will have wealth and honor."
Dr. Zhan was filled with excitement, for the sake of his two grandsons and one granddaughter. He never expected that Su Rong would give such lavish welcoming gifts that he didn’t know how to react. He immediately kneeled before Su Rong, "Miss Seven, from now on I will devote everything to you with unwavering loyalty."
"Alright, I believe in Old Dr. Zhan." Su Rong helped him up with a smile.
The four of them left Su Rong’s tent. The faces of two young boys were blushing with excitement. Even the fourteen-year-old Zhan Ziyu couldn’t help but want to jump for joy. Zhan Ziyuan, clutching the medicine bottle in her hand, seeing her two excited brothers, asked the equally excited Dr. Zhan, "Grandfather, what did Sister Su give me? She didn’t say."
"Let me take a look for you." Dr. Zhan reached out and took the medicine bottle. As soon as he unscrewed the cap, a strong fragrance of herbs hit his nostrils. His expression changed, "It’s Guiben Huanyuan Pills, ago, there are ten pieces."
"Really?" Although Zhan Ziyuan was young, she had been picking herbs and studying medicine with Dr. Zhan since she was young. Though she was still very young, she had read many medical books and knew about Guiben Huanyuan Pills, but she had never seen them before.
"It’s true, these are Guiben Huanyuan Pills." Dr. Zhan quickly screwed the bottle cap back on. He wanted to tell his granddaughter that such a precious lifesaving medicine should be held by him, but he was too embarrassed to ask for it, as if he was snatching his granddaughter’s property. After all, it was a welcoming gift from Miss Seven, he couldn’t just take it.
With reluctance, he returned the bottle to his granddaughter and repeatedly admonished her, "This is a lifesaving medicine, you know, it’s really difficult to find. It’s said that there’s only one pill collected in the Daliang Palace, in the hands of the Emperor. It’s an incredibly rare medicine. Who could have thought that Miss Seven would have a whole bottle. Who could have imagined?" 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
He was extremely excited. No doctor could resist a good medicine, and he was no exception. Although the discussions and memoirs his grandsons received were also hard to find, he was just happy and excited for his grandsons. However, seeing this bottle of Guiben Huanyuan Pills, he felt as if his blood was boiling with excitement.
When a doctor comes across a lifesaving medicine, it’s like snatching a person from the hands of King Yama at Ghost Gate.
"Grandfather, you keep it for me!" Zhan Ziyuan, seeing how excited Dr. Zhan was, suggested thoughtfully.
Dr. Zhan waved his hand, "It’s from Miss Seven, you should keep it."
Zhan Ziyuan thought for a moment, "This medicine is so precious, I’m afraid I might lose it. How about we keep five pills each? That way, it’s safer."
"This..." Dr. Zhan hesitated. Was it really okay for him to help her keep it?
"Grandfather, after all, I am learning medicine with you. I’m really afraid I might lose it." Zhan Ziyuan knew it was impossible for her to lose it, she was meticulous since she was a child, but her grandfather really loved it. they all had welcoming gifts, only her grandfather didn’t. As his granddaughter, she could share it with him. After all, who was her doting grandfather?
"Alright, when we go back, let’s find a bottle and put half of it in each to keep." Dr. Zhan was extremely pleased, he had never been so happy before.
