The Grand Secretary's Pampered Wife Chapter 108.1

Chapter 108.1

Gu Jiao went to the medical hall.

Today was when the follow-up examination of that mysterious big shot was scheduled, and the other party had been waiting in the Rejuvenation Hall early.

This time, he didn't have his people empty the medical hall.

Gu Jiao was a little late because she saw Xiao Liulang off, but she told the other party in advance to wait for a while.

The face of the young bodyguard at the side was completely dark as he said, "Humph, you are the first one who dares to let my Lord wait!"

Gu Jiao spread her hands, "Oh, what an honor."

The young bodyguard turned his face away from her.

Gu Jiao entered the wing room.

The man wore a bamboo hat with a veil to cover his face, but his n.o.ble and magnificent bearing couldn’t be concealed in the least bit.

He was still surrounded by the two feminine servants as before.

After a few meetings, people got used to Gu Jiao's rudeness. Seeing Gu Jiao just sat down without even giving their Lord a salute, they only complained in their hearts and didn't dare to scold her half a word.

For no other reason than this little girl was the one who cured their Lord’s illness.

Gu Jiao gave him a total of three injections of benzathine penicillin G, one shot every seven days, and the last shot was administered last month. Today, he came here for a follow-up examination.

Gu Jiao checked his pulse and examined him.

"Am I cured?" The man's voice couldn’t conceal his joy.

Gu Jiao took off her gloves and said to him, "At present, it seems that you are recovering well, but it will only be considered a complete cure if you continue to be well in two years without experiencing a relapse. Once you feel unwell, find me for a follow-up."

"Er..." The man was silent.

Gu Jiao noticed that his mood was different from the previous days. She asked, "What's the matter? You don’t want to do a follow-up?"

The man smiled and said, "To be honest, I'm leaving."

"Oh." Gu Jiao wasn't surprised. The man didn’t sound like a local with his accent. He might not even be from the You Province. He must have come from a farther place, and she couldn’t guess exactly where.

The man said kindly, "But I believe I have already been cured by the girl. I would like to ask the girl. You are so good at the art of medicine, I wonder where you learn your skills from?"

Gu Jiao answered, "I have a lot of teachers."

This was the truth. In her previous life, she studied medicine in university and graduate school, and then went to research inst.i.tutes. There were indeed quite a few teachers who have taught her.

The man wasn’t a person without vision. He could see that Gu Jiao didn’t want to talk more about this topic, so he stopped asking questions. Instead, he said, "Thank you, girl, for curing my illness. There is one more thing I have come here for today, that is, I want to solemnly thank the girl."

"You've already paid the medical fee, so you don't have to thank me..." In the middle of Gu Jiao's speech, she saw the man take a brocade box from the servant and put it on the table.

The brocade box looked uncommon at first glance.

Gu Jiao seamlessly changed her tone, "Thank you for the present, since it seems you really want to give it to me, I can only reluctantly accept it."

The servants simply couldn’t believe her sudden shift in att.i.tude. You, if you have the ability, have some backbone ah. Go on, continue to reject it!

The man smiled tolerantly and pushed the brocade box to Gu Jiao's hand.

When Gu Jiao opened it, it turned out to be an exquisitely carved jade folding fan. Gu Jiao held the fan in her hand. The jade was slightly cool to the touch and ice-clear in appearance. It was a really good fan.

"Do you like it?" The man asked.

Gu Jiao looked hesitant.

The servants were dumbfounded. Really? You don't like the fan made of millennium icy jade.

"If you don't like it, you can change it for something else." The man said gently.

"Well, is there a fan made of gold?" Gu Jiao asked.

The servants couldn’t help shaking twice. You seriously don't know how to be polite ah. You actually want to exchange it for a golden one? But didn't you know it was more valuable than gold? You countryfolks are really ignorant!

The man smiled and said, "I have no golden fan here, but I have other golden things here."

After that, he called one of the servants and whispered a few words in his ear, causing the servants' eyes to widen. He said, "My Lord, isn’t this inappropriate? That’s... "

The man did not have the same good face to his subordinates as he had to Gu Jiao, "Just get what I ask you to, what's all this nonsense for? After the trip to Jiangnan, I found that you became more and more talkative."

"I understand." The servant didn't dare to neglect, stared at Gu Jiao bitterly, went to the carriage and brought a new small box.

Unexpectedly, it was a Huarong Road[1] made of pure gold.

Huarong Road was an ancient educational toy, which was sold in many shops, but all of those were made of wood. This was Gu Jiao’s first time seeing one made of gold.

It looked really interesting and sparkling. Little Jing Kong would definitely love it.

Gu Jiao nodded with satisfaction.

Finally seeing a small expression on her unsmiling little face, the man couldn't help laughing. He said, "Does the girl like it because it’s a Huarong Road or because it’s gold?"

Gu Jiao said, "It's not me who likes it, my little brother does."

The man smiled slightly, "Does the girl have a younger brother?"

Gu Jiao raised her three fingers and said, "Not one, but three."

The man: Then it doesn't seem good to send just one present!

The man handed two more gifts to Gu Jiao. The servants at the sidelines felt pain for their Lord. Who told you to ask about that? Was this seeking your own death through chatting? Who told you to dig your own pit?

Forget it.

As long as it saved your face.

When Gu Jiao left the medical hall, there were three more luxury packages in her back basket!

The man bowed to Gu Jiao at the entrance of the Rejuvenation Hall and said, "See you again, girl."

Gu Jiao glanced at him, saying, "Why would you want to see me, a physician, again? Is there something wrong with you?"

After saying that, she disappeared into the crowd without looking back, carrying her back basket.

The servant clenched his teeth in anger and said, "My Lord, look at her..."

The man was also a little stupefied. After all, no one dared to talk to him like that for many years, but he was in a good mood and merely said with a smile, "That’s right, what's wrong with me? Why would I want to see a physician? Aren’t I in good health already?"

"My Lord..."

"It's time to go back to the capital. Let's go."

After Gu Jiao left the Rejuvenation Hall, she headed to the only iron shop in town.

This iron shop had been open for more than twenty years, so it could be regarded as an old shop.

Gu Jiao had just walked to the door but she could already hear the hammering of iron. The business of the iron shop was doing very well, and the blacksmiths were so busy that their feet almost didn’t touch the ground.

There was no counter in the shop. Gu Jiao called out to a man and asked, "I ordered iron tools here last month, and today is supposedly the day of delivery."
