Fast-paced era: a warm and leisurely life

Chapter 335 The Concubine of the Age 42

The butler of the manor saw Earl Edgar coming and hurried out to greet him.

Count Edgar waved his hand and said, "Is Miss Gu here? I, a doctor obsessed with medicine, found an ancient Chinese medical book, but I can't understand some of it. I would like to ask Miss Gu to teach me."

The manor housekeeper replied respectfully: "My Lord, the young lady has gone to the store and is not in the manor now. However, the young lady usually does not stay in the store for too long and will be back soon."

"It's okay, we'll wait here for a while." Earl Edgar held down Gary who was about to run out: "What are you doing?"

"My Lord Earl, I want to go find Miss Gu."

"Didn't you hear what the housekeeper said? Miss Gu is in the store and will be back soon. You have to go and ask for trouble when she's busy, right? Do you still want someone to teach you?"

When Gary heard that Gu Nuanyi might not teach him, he immediately turned around and returned to Earl Edgar.

But he felt like he had a thorn in his butt and couldn't sit still.

Stand up and take a look after a while.

Finally, Gu Nuanyi came back after 2 hours.

When Gary saw Gu Nuanyi get off the carriage, he rushed over like a wild horse.

He ran too fast, and he didn't exercise regularly, so he tripped over his left foot and landed in front of Gu Nuanyi.

Just in front of Gu Nuanyi, he bowed down to her

Gu Nuanyi quickly jumped to the side: "It's not the New Year yet, and I'm younger than you, I won't give you a red envelope!"

Count Edgar raised his hands to cover his eyes. It was really unbearable to watch...

Gail didn't mind the embarrassment. He got up, dusted off the dust on his body, and took out the ancient Chinese medicine book and handed it to Gu Nuanyi: "Miss Gu, this is the Chinese medicine book I asked someone to collect, but there are some contents in it that I really don't understand. I hope you can give me some advice."

Count Edgar rolled his eyes, "Gally, can't you wait for Miss Gu to come in before talking? Blocking the door to talk, where are your manners? Have you lost them?"

After that, he picked up another piece of milk cake and started eating it. The rich milky aroma spread in his mouth.

Count Edgar said to the butler of the manor standing beside him: "This milk cake is delicious, but it would be better if it could be a little sweeter. Maybe you could drizzle some honey on it."

The manor housekeeper waved to a maid and asked her to get some honey.

Count Edgar sprinkled some honey on the milk cake, and it tasted sweet when he took a bite. This is a real dessert.

I was eating and eating, and I finished the whole plate accidentally.

Count Edgar blinked and looked at the butler of the manor, who had no choice but to ask the maid to go to the kitchen to get some cakes.

"These are what Miss Gu taught you to make, they taste really good, but I think the cakes could be a little sweeter. I'll ask the chef to come over and teach me some other day."

The manor housekeeper was silent for a while and then said, "My Lord Earl, the young lady doesn't like to eat cakes that are too sweet. She thinks that desserts that are not sweet are the most delicious."

"Ah? What kind of dessert is it if it's not sweet... I think only sweet ones are delicious."

Gu Nuanyi raised her head from the medical book: "My Lord Earl, you should eat less sweets, it's not good for your health..."

Count Edgar threw the cake in his hand into his mouth: "The last piece..."

Gary, who was obsessed with medical books, stayed in the manor for three days and left after translating the medical books into English with Gu Nuanyi.

During these three days, Gary also learned a lot about Chinese medicine.

This made Gail, who was already obsessed with medicine, even more obsessed. After listening to Gu Nuanyi's story about Shennong tasting hundreds of herbs,

He also said that he wanted to taste hundreds of herbs like Shennong and then compile a book himself.

Gu Nuanyi tried to persuade him for a long time but failed to change his mind, so she had no choice but to let him go.

Foreigners like to seek excitement...

Sure enough, three days later

A carriage drove into the yard quickly, and after it stopped

Count Edgar's personal guard quickly jumped down and asked anxiously, "Is Miss Gu here? Doctor Gary has been poisoned."

The manor housekeeper hurried to the flower garden to invite Gu Nuanyi out: "Miss, Doctor Gary who was with Earl Edgar was poisoned."

Gu Nuanyi nodded in understanding: "He went to taste the herbs, right...it's normal for him to be poisoned."

Gu Nuanyi was mentally prepared, but she was still shocked when she saw Gary's face turned purple: "What did he eat?"

The guards were also confused: "I don't know. These past two days, Dr. Gary went out with a hoe and scissors to pick some unknown weeds, and then went into the laboratory. Except for eating, we can't see him at all. If the servants hadn't seen Dr. Gary not come out to eat this time, we wouldn't have discovered that he was poisoned."

Gu Nuanyi glanced at Gail. This guy was really brave. He even dared to put an unknown weed into his mouth.

Not knowing what he had eaten, Gu Nuanyi had to give him an acupuncture needle to induce vomiting, and then stuffed a detoxification pill into his mouth.

Gu Nuanyi felt distressed: "My detoxification pills are so valuable. I must make him pay for them when he wakes up!!!"

After taking an antidote pill, the purple color on Gary's face quickly faded away.

An hour later, the man slowly woke up.

Gary looked at the unfamiliar environment in confusion and said slowly: "Ah...I am in heaven..."

Turning around, I saw Gu Nuanyi sitting on a chair beside me: "Miss Gu, you are dead too..."

Gu Nuanyi said unhappily: "You are not dead, I am not dead, and this is not heaven either."

Gary blinked: "Not dead..."

"You sound a little disappointed? How about I give you a ride so you can meet your God earlier?"

No one wants to die if they can live. Gary was so excited that he sat up from the bed: "NO!! I don't want to see God at all. I haven't compiled my own medical book yet!! Shennong is really amazing. He tasted hundreds of herbs but he didn't die..."

"So? You want to try a hundred kinds of unknown grasses too?"

Gary shook his head in fear: "No, I won't try it. I only have one life. If the servants don't find me in time next time, I will be really dead."

"Well, I'm glad you think so. I put a lot of effort into saving you this time. Please remember to settle the medical bills."

Gary nodded and said, "I'll send it to you when I get back. It's really thanks to you this time."

Gu Nuanyi propped up her chin and said, "I like to collect some cultural relics from China."

Gary gestured: "I don't have it, but I know where it is. I'll send it to you when I get it."

Gu Nuanyi nodded with a smile. It's easy to talk to smart people.

Two days later, Gary sent two carriages full of cultural relics.

Kanghou Gui, bronze double-ram zun, David vase, and the Admonitions of the Court Instructress, etc.

Gu Nuanyi first stored them in the basement of the manor.

I'll find a chance to send them all back to China.
