"Let’s do it this way." Yang Ruxin frowned, "We’ll wait for my husband to return, and then we’ll visit to see the old madam. Like I said, only by diagnosing the root can one treat the illness. For example, the current drink only nourishes the stomach but doesn’t cure the illness..."
"Then I’ll trouble Madam Gu." Bin Kui’s face imdiately lit up with joy upon hearing this.
"It’s Master Yin’s filial piety that moves ." Yang Ruxin chuckled. They weren’t familiar with Bin Kui, but as the commander of the Imperial Guards, it’s better to forge a good relationship than to make an enemy. Besides, a filial person typically has comndable character.
Jiang Guanyu had been silent earlier, but now seeing their conversation concluded, he placed a porcelain bottle on the table: "Is this Madam Gu’s?"
Yang Ruxin smiled without affirmation or denial.
"Yang Ruxin, hear the decree." Suddenly, Jiang Guanyu stood up, his expression turned solemn.
Yang Ruxin was startled, but she quickly knelt down.
"By order of the Emperor, Yang Ruxin is comnded for her benevolent heart and noble character, a role model of our ti. She is hereby rewarded with a box of pearls, with hopes that she continues to perform good deeds for the nation and the people in the future..."
Yang Ruxin hurriedly kowtowed to express her gratitude, then rose to receive a square redwood box of about one foot in size from Jiang Guanyu, before turning and handing it to Hong Yi.
Hong Yi’s brows twitched imperceptibly.
At this mont, Du Juan arrived carrying two baskets. Yang Ruxin handed them over: "Master Jiang, Commander Yin, my husband has greatly benefited from your guidance and assistance in the past few days. I have nothing good to offer from the village, just so local specialties, and I hope you won’t find them humble."
Master Jiang took a look after accepting it, realizing it was a basket of pears; since the basket was small, it contained only six.
"These are grown together with turnips." Yang Ruxin smiled, "I heard that Madam Jiang coughs frequently, morning and night. These work wonders, just eat half before bed... even if you don’t have a cough, it helps to moisten the lungs..."
Master Jiang’s eyes lit up instantly, grown together with turnips? Then it’s... He laughed, "Ah, then I won’t stand on ceremony."
Commander Yin also quickly hugged the basket to his chest. Although not particularly familiar with the Gu Family before, he knew that Gu Qingheng’s wife was the sole disciple of Dao Xuzi, the little Divine Doctor. Whatever she offered... he must maintain good relations with Gu Qingheng in the future.
One can offend anyone, but not a doctor.
"Then we’ll take our leave." Holding the basket, Master Jiang started to walk out but realized his behavior was sowhat improper after a few steps and quickly stopped, "Madam Gu, do co visit our residence when you have ti. My eldest granddaughter is quite an understanding girl..."
"Sure." Yang Ruxin smiled, "Miss Jiang is welco to visit as well if she is free."
Gu Qingheng had inford her, although Jiang Guanyu could be a bit opportunistic at tis, he was clear-minded in major situations and had a strong sense of justice. The Jiang family’s younger generations also didn’t have decadent habits, making them worthwhile acquaintances.
Moreover, befriending the Jiang family indirectly ant currying favor with the influential Empress Dowager.
That evening, Bin Kui sent soone to deliver news that the leader they captured confessed. They were mbers of the Sun Cult.
Even though it wasn’t certain the other party knew if they cared about this matter, sending soone to inform them was a gesture of goodwill.
