Traveling to Daliang Kingdom starts from falling into the water

Chapter 1132 Don't Be a Charlatan

That's why some people shouldn't have a mouth. Gu Wenxuan was also impressed by Doctor Dong, who even used him as an example in his conversation.

Why is he so fond of putting on airs?
He loves his wife and children dearly and doesn't hide anything from anyone. So why is he so serious on the surface? He's serious inside and out, isn't he?
"Oh, you're done talking?"

"Ah."

"Then what do you mean by this?"

When Gu Erlang saw Gu Wenxuan stretching his neck and rolling his eyes in front of Doctor Dong as if afraid that Doctor Dong wouldn't see him, he was immediately amused.

Doctor Dong was also quite amused, and pretended to look for his silver needles, saying, "If your eye is twitching, a needle will do the trick. I'll give you a needle now, and I won't charge you for the consultation."

"Thank you so much, sir." Gu Wenxuan pulled his head back and sat up straight, bowing his hands in thanks. "Seriously, my dear Uncle Dong, why do you have someone you're afraid of?"

"Who's afraid!" Doctor Dong retorted, "Who's afraid of him? He's just senior in terms of age. I respect him. Can't you speak properly, kid?"

Tsk~
Look how excited you are!

I can't talk, but you can!
Gu Wenxuan dared not offend the old man, and quickly replied, "Yes, yes, it was a slip of the tongue."

"Humph!"

Hey, aren't you going to use your silver needles to scare people anymore?

"Come, have some tea, my dear Uncle Dong. By the way, how many fellow disciples do you have? It sounds like quite a few?"

"That's right!" Doctor Dong said happily, raising one hand in front of the other. "There are twelve of us in my generation of fellow disciples."

Although he didn't understand how there were only fifteen people when he turned the hand again, and how it matched twelve, Gu Wenxuan still blurted out in shock, "Wow, that's quite a lot."

Perhaps it was because Gu Wenxuan's expression was so convincing, Gu Erlang saw his master sit up straight immediately—he was in the mood for conversation.

listen!
"Quite a lot? Ha, I haven't even included my outer sect fellow disciples."

Come on, bro, shout it again?
"Hiss~" Gu Wenxuan immediately gasped, "This is incredible! If your generation of fellow disciples is divided into inner and outer sects, then how many fellow disciples does my brother have?"

"That's a lot. I only have your brother as my apprentice. Every one of my fellow apprentices has at least that many apprentices."

very good!

This time you've finally learned your lesson and haven't waved your hand around recklessly again. I can confirm that even the brother with the fewest disciples has at least five!
"And this only includes my fellow disciples from our sect. Add my father's fellow disciples, your brother's fellow disciples, you naughty boy, are you trying to trick me into telling me something?"

Gu Wenxuan: "..." What's going on? "Would you believe me if I said no?"

"Never mind, it's nothing that can't be talked about." Doctor Dong sighed and turned to look out the car window. "I've been learning traditional Chinese medicine since I was a child."

Later, my grandfather's friend, who was also my master's father, had his eldest son take me as his apprentice before my grandfather passed away. I was to grow up and live away from home, and then return to my hometown—"

"Uncle Dong/Master—"

"It's alright!" Doctor Dong withdrew his gaze and turned to look at his two apprentices, shaking his head and smiling. "Those are all things of the past, they can't hurt me anymore."

You two brothers must remember that a single seedling cannot withstand the wind, while many trees can form a forest. Under no circumstances should you two brothers abandon the other and go alone.

Clan is a double-edged sword; it can protect you, but it can also destroy you. Even if you brothers drift apart one day, never forget that in public you are still brothers.

Your father did a lot of foolish things before, but it was also those foolish things that made your grandfather's lineage safe and sound for decades.

Regardless of whether your great-grandfather was the clan head or not, even if he were, your great-grandfather couldn't control his eldest cousin's branch of the family when he was alive. If it weren't for your rise to power, it's uncertain who would be the current clan head of the Gu family. Speaking of which, the feng shui of your Gu family really does have problems; it seems like the second branch is the most prosperous.

Your great-grandfather divided the family property among his sons, and his second son rose to power. When your great-grandfather divided the family property among his three sons, your second grandfather rose to power.

"Once your grandfather divided the family property among your father and his three brothers, your father would rise to power. We don't need to wait any longer; signs of this are already emerging."

So, my brother's feng shui was actually ruined by me?

Why don't you just quit being a good doctor and become some kind of charlatan?
Gu Wenxuan's gaze swept over Doctor Dong's mouth, and he only wanted to sew it shut with a needle.

"If you don't believe me, look at your great-grandfather's second son. Aren't his descendants the ones living the best lives now?"

Gu Erlang chuckled and shook his head, "Then I don't have to worry about the lock being locked up? It's nothing, Master. My great-uncle's family produced a scholar."

Who is your apprentice referring to?

Doctor Dong naturally knew that he was referring to Gu Wenyu, the eldest son of the Gu family, but in his opinion, this was the best that could be achieved.

He'll only ever be a scholar in this lifetime; there's no chance he'll ever become a successful candidate in the imperial examinations. But this naughty boy, ever since his face changed...

He can't tell anymore.

"You little rascal, you must have been a cunning fellow in your past life. You're really good at reincarnating. As the eldest, you never really grew up, but you just happened to have an older brother who was exactly two years older than you."

Even if he were a few months older, it wouldn't be two years, yet you ran into him, and then, to make matters worse, you bumped into his wife. It seems you've gotten all the advantages.

What do you mean?
Gu Wenxuan had a premonition.

While keeping a close eye on his expression, Doctor Dong must have had another intention in saying these words; it wasn't just to remind him not to forget the deep brotherly bond.

He even mentioned his wife, not just to highlight the later statement that he got all the benefits, but simply because he was lucky!

Look!
The old man stopped arguing with him and even nodded with a smile.

It's so abnormal.

Shouldn't you at least roll your eyes and give me a look that says, "You're incredibly stupid, I don't want to talk to you anymore?"
Got it!
She really didn't want to talk to him anymore, and turned to look at the scenery outside.

The problem is, can you please stop looking so melancholy and reminiscing?
Pack!
You just tricked me, do you think I'd fall for it again?

You're just fooling your silly apprentice.

"Ah, life is like that~"

Ok?
Is there more to the story?

"Master?"

"It's nothing. I just remembered you telling me that you had taken a fancy to a girl from Majia Village, which scared me. I wondered why my disciple's tastes were so different from ordinary people..."

This old man is hopeless when he opens his mouth. He's brought up another Ma Family Village. Why don't you just say that the Ma family are descendants of bandits who wandered here?

Gu Wenxuan almost burst out laughing. He recalled that his Uncle Ma had also gotten off the carriage to greet this old man before. Surely he wouldn't still be dissatisfied with his disciple because of what happened in the first month of the lunar calendar?
It's been so long. Besides, your disciple's father-in-law isn't a petty person. Didn't he already admit to you that he was wrong to blame your disciple for not being on time for the banquet?
"...Even a powerful family like the Ma family of Majiazhai could raise such a good girl. You not only have good taste, but you're also lucky, even luckier than your brother!"

Listen!

What is this saying?
You really won't admit defeat at all. After all this time, you've come back to the point that your disciple is luckier than his brother, haven't you?
"Huh? The carriage stopped moving. Have we arrived?"
