760: Chapter 754 Not Walking, but Jumping 760: Chapter 754 Not Walking, but Jumping The Taoists on Qi Mountain were like a bunch of monkeys.
According to Gu Youyou’s observation over this period, only Qingyang seed reliable.
If it were soone else, Gu Youyou would be worried.
These young Taoist apprentices had not descended the mountain for many years; if they were attracted by the colorful world below and went to watch the excitent, missing the day of soone’s wedding, that would be terrible.
Calculating the ti, there were three days left.
She needed to ride a fast horse; there wasn’t much ti to spare.
Qingyang took the painting from Gu Youyou’s hand and stared at the storybook on her desk, asking, “And what about this?”
This was a new story Gu Youyou had written today.
Gu Youyou pressed down on the book and said, “Wait till you co back, and I will show it to you.
If my matter isn’t dealt with, then don’t expect to see it.”
Qingyang made a bitter face and hurriedly said, “It will be taken care of, definitely.
I’ll go now!”
“Go ahead, the sooner you leave, the sooner you’ll return.”
She had wanted him to bring a letter to Jin Zijin, but fearing he might get the wrong idea, she dared not actually write anything.
After thinking it over, she decided against it.
If only there were video calls!
After finishing the preparations for the congratulatory gift, Gu Youyou took out her recent research findings and ticulously made a record.
Strange noises ca from outside the courtyard, and Gu Youyou frowned, put down her pen, and looked up.
There was Searcy, who should have been in great health, hopping towards her courtyard on one leg.
Gu Youyou could not help but smile wryly as she got up and stood at the door with a stern face.
“Are you hoping this leg won’t break?
Why don’t you have a fall and test it out!”
Searcy stared at Gu Youyou, bewildered for a mont, then arrogantly said, “If I don’t start moving, I’ll get bedsores all over.”
Gu Youyou looked at her leg, barely holding back her laughter.
“What you’re doing isn’t called moving; it’s hopping.”
A flash of annoyance crossed Searcy’s face as she irritably pointed to her leg and asked, “When can this be taken off?”
Gu Youyou answered indifferently, “Injuries to tendons and bones take a hundred days to heal; I’ve made that very clear to you.”
“But it doesn’t need to be bound for a hundred days.”
“I’m worried you’ll do sothing foolish if I unbind it.
This is Qi Mountain, not General Lin’s backyard.”
“Hmph…”
Searcy was terribly proud, and Gu Youyou understood that taming such a person would not be easy.
But she had ti to grind down her temperant, starting with that leg.
If Searcy could refrain from causing trouble for a few months because of her leg, she could likely smooth out so of her impulsive temperant.
“If you behave well, I’ll teach you so interesting things,” said Gu Youyou, pointing towards a row of low buildings in the corner of the courtyard.
Searcy looked in the direction Gu Youyou was pointing and asked, “What’s there?”
Gu Youyou played coy and said, “It’s sothing that will interest you.”
But Searcy snorted coldly, “Sothing of interest to ?
You quacks can manage that?”
Gu Youyou was already accustod to it; while treating her leg, she had often been called a quack by Searcy.
Because in her eyes, after her mother died, everyone but herself was a quack.
Gu Youyou did not bother to argue and simply called loudly for Xiang Chun to co in and hop her back to her own courtyard with that hopping leg.
…
Today was the biggest day of celebration in Zhuzhao Country in many years: Prince Jin Xiaoran was taking a primary wife, the eldest legitimate daughter of Minister Lin Xingyi, a highly sought-after official in the imperial court.
Everyone was saying that Minister Lin’s household was sure to beco even wealthier.
Anyone who could claim a connection to him was eager to do so.
Having so relation to Minister Lin had seemingly beco sothing to be proud of.
Others who looked on with envy had a different opinion.
