The Humble Family's Daughter Has A Spatial Pocket! novel Chapter 1378

Chapter 1378: Chapter 1138, What Bad Intentions Could Young Lord Gu Have? 9

The young ladies left the house and headed straight to Taohua Mountain with perfect understanding. The young lord lived on Taohua Mountain, and only by going up the mountain could they possibly meet him by chance.

Because she had played with Gu Moyan in Xiliang during childhood, Tang Zixin quickly used this as a conversation starter, attracting a group of young ladies around her.

Watching Tang Zixin, surrounded by people and leading the way, Tang Zijin frowned. It wasn’t that she envied Tang Zixin’s ability to befriend all the young ladies; she just purely thought she was too showy.

Moreover, based on past experiences, whenever Tang Zixin gathered the young ladies, she would inevitably use Tang Zijin to elevate herself. So, Tang Zijin decisively left the group, did not go up Taohua Mountain, and instead turned in another direction to wander around the foot of the mountain.

Because Daohua’s manor was here, the villagers of Taohua Village could buy excellent grain seeds first. Over the years, Taohua Village was no longer as impoverished as it once was.

Nowadays, the prosperity and liveliness of Taohua Village even surpassed some major towns.

Especially after the Emperor and the Crown Prince visited Taohua Mountain a few years ago, the fame of Taohua Village increased even more.

No outsiders were allowed near the vicinity of Taohua Mountain. Walking on the countryside paths, looking at the lush green crops in the fields, Tang Zijin felt quite at ease.

When she walked to the foot of the back of Taohua Mountain, Tang Zijin suddenly paused, surprisingly seeing Gu Jian not far away.

"Old Ancestor!"

Tang Zijin hurriedly ran over.

Sitting on the ridge of the field, personally supervising the medicinal farmers picking and planting herbal seedlings, Gu Jian saw Tang Zijin coming, and a smile immediately appeared on his face, "Oh, it’s the Zijin girl."

Tang Zijin came up in front of Gu Jian, curtsied, and said, "Old Ancestor, what are you doing here?"

Gu Jian pointed to the medicinal fields and with a smile said, "This is my medicinal field. It’s the season to plant licorice, bupleurum, salvia, and astragalus, so of course, I have to come down and watch."

Tang Zijin looked at the medicinal fields and smiled, "Old Ancestor, your medicinal field is maintained so well, the seedlings are growing lushly, unlike mine, which grow sparsely."

Gu Jian became interested, "You have a medicinal field too?"

Tang Zijin nodded with a smile, "Yes, my mother gave me a small manor to manage on my own, and I’ve opened up fifty acres of medicinal fields."

Gu Jian immediately asked some questions about managing the medicinal fields, and hearing Tang Zijin’s knowledgeable answers, he instantly knew she wasn’t lying and wasn’t deliberately trying to please him.

"Zijin, you have to thank the Old Ancestor. Without his teachings, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have the faintest idea about pharmacology."

"After leaving Xiliang, my mother saw that I liked to read the Medical Book and specially hired a female doctor to teach me."

"Old Ancestor, now I’m quite capable. Whenever my mother or younger brother have a headache or fever, it’s always my prescriptions."

Tang Zijin always treated Gu Jian as an elder, possibly because she had received too much care and concern from him in childhood. Her words were intimate, without the restraint she had before outsiders, revealing the playfulness of a young girl.

Looking at the smug Tang Zijin, Gu Jian laughed heartily, "Since you’re so skilled, let me test you." 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Tang Zijin wasn’t afraid at all, instead her eyes lit up, looking at Gu Jian expectantly.

In her heart, when it comes to medical skills, no one can surpass Gu Jian.

Seeing Tang Zijin eager to try, Gu Jian composed himself, thought for a moment, and began to test Tang Zijin.

Gu Jian’s questions weren’t hard. As soon as he asked them, Tang Zijin answered immediately.

Seeing her answer so easily, Gu Jian gradually increased the difficulty.

In this way, Tang Zijin went from answering without hesitation to needing to think for a while before responding, then asking Gu Jian to confirm if she was right.

Tang Zijin did not immediately answer but glanced at Gu Moyan, as if waiting for his approval.

Gu Jian noticed Tang Zijin seemed a bit afraid of Gu Moyan and huffed, "Why are you looking at him? If the old man invites you, then you should come."

Only then did Tang Zijin timidly nod. Together with Gu Moyan, they both supported Gu Jian back up to Taohua Mountain.

On the way, seeing Tang Zijin walking with Gu Jian and Gu Moyan, the young ladies gathered in small groups, either whispering or pointing.

Seeing this, Gu Moyan couldn’t help but frown and gave Tang Zijin an assessing look.

This one seemed harmless, but she had a keen mind. Knowing appearing directly in front of him might displease him, she resorted to leveraging the Old Ancestor. Truly, she was underestimated!

Tang Zijin sensed Gu Moyan’s displeasure towards her, feeling both aggrieved and helpless. Once seated at the dining table, she poured all her frustration into the food, seriously and focusedly devouring dish after dish.

Seeing her eating so heartily, Gu Moyan grew even angrier.

This little chubby face was becoming increasingly troublesome!

Did she think that by pleasing the Old Ancestor, she could ignore him?

Thinking this, Gu Moyan once more reached out with his chopsticks, starting to obstruct Tang Zijin’s enjoyment of the meal.

Tang Zijin furrowed her delicate brows and glared at Gu Moyan. The young lord was becoming more and more outrageous. Last time, he just took away her favorite dishes, but now he pressed down on her chopsticks to stop her from eating.

Sitting above them, Gu Jian smiled as Caiju served him half a bowl of rice. He wondered why he hadn’t noticed before that watching the kids compete made the meal even more enjoyable.

"Well, since you have so much energy, this afternoon head to the field to plant herbs for me."
