Grandfather helped Gu Jin make six spirit pills, forming them into dragon eye-sized pellets, a total of ten pills, which were placed in a purple sandalwood box.

  She left the prescription and handed it over to her grandfather for safekeeping, then hugged the medicine box and returned to her own yard.

  The little maids are playing shuttlecock in the courtyard, laughing and chatting happily.

  As soon as Gu Jin returned, her two senior maids, Nian Yu and You He, came forward to greet her, asking in unison: "Miss, what good things did you bring back?"

  Gu Jin's personality was cold and clear, but not indifferent. At least she never scolded the maids, nor would she ignore or not answer their questions.

  It's been a long time, everyone knows she is quiet and introverted, but has a gentle personality. She can accept things that are slightly out of the ordinary, so people don't feel intimidated or restrained in front of her, and sometimes even joke with her in a harmless way.

  Like now, directly ask her what she brought back...

  "It's medicine." Gu Jin said, "I don't have anything else to tell you all to do, go play..."

  There were other maids and wet nurses in the house, so Gu Jingzi was certainly not short of people to serve her. Nian Xiang and You He were still young and loved to play. Upon hearing what Gu Jingzi had said, they didn't insist and turned back to swing on the swings instead.

  Gu Jinzi then lifted the silver-red curtain and entered the eastern study.

  Her nurse was busy cutting out clothes, looking at the almanac, and preparing to make a few undergarments for her; the other two maids, Yu Rui and Zhi Lian, were waiting on her.

  When Gu Jin entered, several people put down their work and busied themselves pouring tea and offering water.

  After washing her hands, Gu Jing finished pouring tea and took a sip, then sat down on the couch to flip through a book.

  On her bed in the eastern wing, her books were piled high.

  Wishing mom and Wei Ruo, Zhi Lei saw that she had no other instructions, and then took scissors and a ruler from the side to continue cutting clothes.

  "Doesn't Miss always reading books get bored?" Wei Rou asked Zhu's mother in a low voice.

  Gu Jin rarely spoke, and whenever he returned to the courtyard, he would either read books or write words, never playing around, which made those restless little maids admire him.

  Wei Ru is also one of Gu Jing's maids.

  The mother glared at her sideways and lowered her voice: "You're reading, girl. All of you be quiet! How many times have I said this!"

  Although Wei Rou was only a second-class maid in Gu Jin's courtyard, she had been there for less than two months and was more innocent and lively compared to the other maids. She was the daughter of Zhu Mama, who was also Gu Jin's wet nurse, so Wei Rou became Gu Jin's second-class maid as soon as she entered the manor, which was a favor from her mother to Zhu Mama.

  Gu Jinzhi listened to their words in her ear, didn't say anything, and quietly turned another page.

  Having read less than three pages of the book, she glanced at the cuckoo clock on the wall and saw that it was almost time for dinner. She got up, took two maidservants with her, and went to her mother's place for dinner.

  After dinner, Gu Xunzhi wanted to play "hide-and-seek" and insisted that Gu Jinyi accompany him.

  Gu Jinzhi just smiled and said okay.

  Gu Xuanzhi took a cloth bag from his waist, inside which was packed with a full load of clean stones, and suddenly poured them onto the Luohan bed.

  "Gu Jin couldn't help but laugh: 'So many, doesn't it get heavy hanging from your waist?'"

  Gu Xuanzhi shook his head and gazed at her with a pair of clear eyes: "There are one hundred grains here, Seventh Sister takes fifty grains, let's see who wins first."

  The game of picking up children, later generations also played it when they were in elementary school.

  Pick up a stone in your hand, then go pick one on the ground and catch the one you threw up. As long as you can catch all of them without dropping any, it counts as winning; otherwise, you have to put all of them down.

  Gu Xuanzhi's game rules are simpler, as long as you can catch the thrown ones, it doesn't matter if they fall or not.

  Whoever catches first wins.

  Gu Yan looked at him and shook his head, saying: "Xiong brother, have you finished all your homework today?"

  Gu Xuan's face, which had been full of enthusiasm, suddenly fell by more than half. He muttered: "There are still twenty big characters that haven't been written, I'll finish them later."

  "You should finish your homework first before playing." Gu Yanwen said with a stern face, "A boy's proper business is studying and working hard, what's the point of playing with a little girl like you?"

  Gu Xuan's face fell at once.

  Song Pan'er looked on, her temper flaring up in all directions.

  Undermining his daughter's abilities during the day, and stifling his son's playful nature at night! The children will all be taught to be as dull and incompetent as he is, this is unbearable!

  She coughed heavily and said: "What's wrong with picking up the child? The more you practice, the stronger your hands will be, and writing will also be better."

  Then she looked at her siblings with encouraging eyes, "You play, I'll watch."

  Completely ignoring Gu Yanwen's words.

  When parents have different opinions, it will make children produce confusion psychology. Gu Xuanzhi has always been born in such an environment, and he gradually only learned one thing: when he doesn't know what to do, just look at Seventh Sister.

  His eyes, like those of a small dog, wandered and fell on Gu Jin.

  Gu Jin sighed in his heart.

  In front of people, Song Wan'er could still tolerate and give in to Gu Yanjin a little, but her discontent would double back when no one was looking. Just like this, she was dissatisfied with Gu Yanjin during the day, now she openly refuted Gu Yanjin's words in front of the maids and children.

  Gu Jinzhi didn't think that Father's words shouldn't be refuted, but rather that her younger brother Gu Huanzhi's character had not yet taken shape, and Mother's actions were not good for Gu Huanzhi.

  Parents with different views always repeat themselves, which can make children form a weak and indecisive personality.

  Gu Xuanzhi is already somewhat like this now...

  He is very cute, but lacks a boy's masculinity.

  Gu Yanwen was also blocked by Song Paner and didn't feel happy, wanting to retort back...

  Gu Jinzhi stretched out his hand and said to Gu Huanzhi, "I'll keep my fingernails. It's easy for children like you to break them off. Why don't you go have fun with Hai Tang instead?"

  Gu Xuanzhi only wanted to play with Gu Jinzhi. Hearing what Gu Jinzhi said, and seeing that his parents were not happy, he quietly put the stone into his pocket and said in a timid tone: "Let's play another day."

  Song Pan'er's heart was scratched a bit.

  She took over Gu Xuanzhi's pouch and smiled: "Xuan Ge, mother will play with you. Mother doesn't have long fingernails." Then she scolded Gu Jinzhi, "You're still young, what do you need to grow your fingernails for?"

  Gu Jinzhi could only smile slightly.

  Stuck between her parents, and with a younger brother as well, she was in a difficult position, but her mother simply didn't appreciate it.

  Gu Yan didn't dare say anything to Song Taner, and couldn't stand the way she spoiled the child. He got up to go to the small study to read a book, thinking that out of sight was out of mind.

  He hadn't even left the house when his servant, Si Xian, came running in to say that Hu Taigong had arrived again.

  Gu Yanzhen knew it was definitely Hu Ze's illness, and his eyebrows furrowed: Old Master Gu no longer asked for a diagnosis, and Hu Ze came to him in person, making it difficult for Gu Yanzhen.

  His relationship with Gu Lao Ye Zi was not as close as Gu Jin and Lao Ye Zi. Although he was over thirty years old, he still had some fear of his father.

  His displeasure increased by thirty percent, and he said, "Invite him to drink tea in the outer study."

  "Hu Tai-shou said he wanted to invite Seventh Miss to see Hu Miss's illness." Si Jian said, "Time is pressing, ask Third Master if it can be accommodated?"

  Gu Yan's face changed: "This is too much! It's already late at night, and Jin sister is a girl, how can he say such things out loud?! Ask him to leave, just tell him I've gone to sleep!"

  Song Pan'er's ears were sharp and she heard Si Lian's words.

  "What's going on?" she asked loudly.

  Ji Lian looked at Yan Zhen's face.

  Gu Yanwen nodded slightly, and Ci Xian ran to the eastern wing to tell Song Panner about Hu Zeyu asking Gu Jin to go see a doctor.

  Song Pan'er revealed a triumphant smile.

  She said: "Go and invite Hu Taishou to come to the inner courtyard."

  "What's all the commotion? It's so late!" Song Panting said with a tone of discontent, just as Gu Yanwen followed him back into the eastern wing.

  "Hey, you're still so young!" Song Pan'er laughed. "You're not a maiden about to get married, and it's just relatives and friends, what are you afraid of? Besides, aren't you at home?"

  Gu Yanwen did not retort, he didn't want to start another argument with Song Daner.

  Cai Lian was the most clever, knowing that Gu Yan Zhen had no temper in front of Song Pan Er, so after Song Pan Er finished speaking and invited him to come in, he ran away with his legs, as if listening to Song Pan Er's words.

  In this family, Ba Jie's flattery is useless. He is a man without his own opinions, who never distinguishes between people and things, nor does he know how to promote or suppress anyone.

  Song Pan'er's love and hate are clear-cut, can't afford to offend her in the slightest!

  Cai Yun ran quickly and soon invited Hu Ze Yu into the inner courtyard.

  Song Pan'er's lips had a satisfied curve.

  She had Gu Xuanzhi's wet nurse take him back, and dismissed all the maidservants who were serving in the house, leaving only Haitang to pour tea and water.

  She deliberately wanted to make things difficult for Hu Zeyu, and as a person in Yanling Mansion, he couldn't let more people see it.
