After rebirth, she became the favorite of the powerful minister.

Grandfather gave him an envelope. After Yuan Ge bowed his head to thank him and took it with both hands, the old man stood up and left with the two old guys who were "more than a hundred years old in total and still embarrassed themselves in front of the younger generation."

Before leaving, Zhuang Lichuan suddenly looked back as if he had sensed something, and ran into the little girl's gaze. The little girl quickly lowered her head again, as if everything was just his own illusion. But that fleeting look...how to put it, it was so complicated that it was frightening.

It was hard to describe what kind of look it was until Zhuang Lichuan left the medicine garden and looked at the great elder walking leisurely beside him, he suddenly remembered a phrase: a tired bird returns to its nest.

The look that the child gave his elder brother was so complicated that he couldn't describe it, but it reminded him of the phrase "a tired bird returns to its nest"... The slightly dull and restrained child suddenly made people care about him.

"Hey, come to think of it, I didn't see that kid Nan Yin today!" The second elder seemed to realize belatedly, "Didn't that kid come here early in the morning to ask for treasures before? Has he changed his temper now?"

Zhan Yanfeng tilted the oil-paper umbrella towards the elder and said, "The followers that boy brought, and the other girl today, all look very skilled. I guess their families are not short of treasures. In previous years, they probably just accompanied that rascal to make trouble... Who would really value your little gold, silver, jade and stones?"

"That's right." Zhuang Lichuan smiled good-naturedly, "The young masters who can come to our Zhixuan Mountain must have a good family background. Speaking of which...Brother, what did you give that girl? I saw that it was bulging and in an envelope. It must have been prepared long ago. It seems that I was being perfunctory..."

Yuan Junfeng has been particularly silent since he came out of retreat, and most of the time he seemed to be in a trance. When the Second Elder asked him about it, he just said "Oh" and said, "Nothing, just a book about medicinal herbs that Ge'er read when she was a child. Since she is following Feng Qingtan as a medicine boy, it is always useful for her to read more of these things."

The second elder was a little surprised and muttered after a while, "It seems to me that this little girl doesn't have any talent..."

The voice was very low, as if it was drowned out by the heavy rain. The two people beside him said nothing as if they didn't hear it. Zhuang Lichuan felt that since the eldest brother came out of seclusion, he was more and more like the third brother. He didn't make a sound for a long time, but there were still some differences. The third brother looked mysterious, while the eldest brother looked... as if he was in a daze.

……

In the medicine garden, Yuan Ge opened the envelope in front of Feng Qingtan. Inside was a booklet. When she opened it, it turned out to be a long list of gifts - on a bright red paper, every stroke of which was written Yuan Ge's dowry. Judging from the age of the paper, it was quite old. Perhaps the old man had already prepared it when she was still Yuan Ge.

My eyes suddenly became wet.

Yuan Ge held the gift list that was dragged on the ground, sniffed, pursed his lips and said nothing.

Feng Qingtan patted Yuan Ge's arm and chuckled to comfort him, "Don't cry, you're already married and why are you still crying? Some of these are your mother's dowry, and some are what the old man has saved up over the years. You and your sister can each get one... Although he keeps saying that he doesn't like your current son-in-law, he doesn't plan to force you to stay in this mountain, and he's worried that you'll be bullied in Shengjing City... If you go back then, take this gift list with you, and then tell the whole Shengjing City openly that I'm a girl recognized by Zhixuan Mountain. It doesn't matter whether it's Wen Qian, Yuan Ge, or Shiyin, we'll protect you anyway!"

"teacher……"

Feng Qingtan reached into his bosom, took out a wrinkled book and handed it over, "I, an old man, don't have that much property, and I can't be as wealthy as your grandfather. But I did make a name for myself in the martial arts world in the early years. From now on, don't say that you are Yuan Ge's disciple, just say that you are my disciple Feng Qingtan... This book is my experience over the years. I thought there was still a lot of time to perfect it, and it wouldn't be too late to give it to you when I step into the gates of hell. But my little Ge'er is about to go on a long journey... He will be far away in Shengjing City in the future, and I don't know how many times he will come back to see me, so I'll give it to you now."

As he said that, the old man turned his back and wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve, then he pretended to be relaxed and patted Yuan Ge who looked like he wanted to say something but hesitated, and chuckled, "It's okay, it's okay, it's like this when a girl gets married, she spends less time together and more time apart... Let's not talk about this, let's not talk about this, it's a bad atmosphere during the New Year. Let's talk about the second and third elders, are you coming back this time for them?"

Still immersed in a feeling of being touched and sad, Yuan Ge sniffed, hummed softly, and said weakly, "This topic is also quite bad for the atmosphere."

Feng Qingtan leaned back in his chair calmly and spread his hands, "It's okay, tell me."

Yuan Ge sorted out the gift list given by his grandfather and the teacher's handwritten notes and handed them to Jianshu, and then told him everything about Jinsu's actions in Shengjing City and her last words. The old man frowned and listened, and sighed softly for a long time, "It really hurts the atmosphere. It's hard for you, a dead girl, to keep it secret and not let out a single word."

"Not to mention that in my heart they are all elders who understand me and have watched me grow up. In my grandfather's heart, they are like-minded confidants who have shared the same ideals for many years. The constant call of 'big brother' has made our relationship stronger than that of many brothers." Yuan Ge poured a cup of tea and handed it to Feng Qingtan before continuing, "I, I thought, we should wait until this year is over before investigating. The old man just sent off a young man, and we can't let him lose his confidant brother again..."

Especially since his brother was suspected of murdering his loved ones, the old man might not be able to bear the double blow. This is why Yuan Ge has not told his grandfather yet.

Feng Qingtan nodded, and it seemed that he quickly accepted the matter. He only asked Yuan Ge, "Then what are you going to do?"

"Send Jianshu to Grandpa first. Since you can accept a new medicine boy, Grandpa should also accept a disciple... Jianshu is a martial arts master, brave, but careful. Grandpa has been upright all his life, but he can't guard against those dirty tricks. With Jianshu around, I can feel more at ease." Yuan Ge added, "But for this matter, you have to talk to Grandpa. Just say that this girl is a martial arts fanatic and wants to take this opportunity to learn more. What do you think?"

Feng Qingtan took a look at Jianshu. The little girl had heroic features and a neat temperament. She was indeed much better than the maid Xiao Ge'er had before. Thinking of this, he nodded and said, "Okay."
