I am a winner with Chinese poetry

Doctor Liu watched Qin take the medicine and quickly wrote a prescription. He then instructed Gu Yunzhou, "I see your mother suffered a severe blow to her chest and abdomen, causing internal bleeding. She was undoubtedly dead, but my nephew used acupuncture to temporarily stop the bleeding. Then he used his spiritual energy to catalyze the Snow Spirit Grass to repair the injured area. Only then did your mother barely survive!"

"But your mother has been working hard for many years, and her body is already weak. Although she was saved this time, her vitality has been damaged. She first took the Snow Spirit Grass, and now she is taking my special Yuan-boosting Pill. I have also prescribed a prescription for replenishing Qi. You should boil the medicine and take it twice a day for three consecutive months. You should recover as before after three months!"

Doctor Liu wrote quickly and soon handed a list full of prescriptions to Gu Yunzhou. Gu Yunzhou took it and saw that there were more than a dozen medicinal herbs densely packed on it. Except for one or two that he had heard of, the rest were very unfamiliar names. They seemed to be medicinal herbs unique to the Tianxing Continent, which was different from the Blue Star in his previous life.

"Thank you, Doctor Liu, for taking the trouble to come all the way here. How much is the consultation fee? I'll pay it to you right away!" Gu Yunzhou was very grateful and felt completely relieved.

"No need. The Wei family has already paid for my consultation, Master Gu. Since there's nothing else to do here, I'll take my leave. Brother Wei, I'll have a word with my nephew first. Please call me when you leave!"

Doctor Liu waved his hand, knowing that they had something to talk about. The Wei family came all the way here not just to show their favor, so he tactfully called Doctor Mo and they went out together.

"Thank you Uncle Wei for your trouble!" Gu Yunzhou frowned slightly. The debt of favor was the hardest to repay, but since the other party had already said this, refusing would make him seem petty, so he just bowed to Wei Qing again to express his gratitude.

Gu Yunzhou explained something to his mother, and they found a nearby teahouse, booked a quiet private room, and then began to talk about business.

"Gu Xiaoyou, Yu'er sent a message home yesterday. Big Brother took this matter very seriously, so he sent me here overnight. I wonder if Gu Xiaoyou is interested in joining the Wei family?"

Wei Qing looked at Gu Yunzhou eagerly and said, "Our Wei family will provide all the necessary items for young friend Gu's cultivation, apart from other things. We also have more than a dozen great scholars in the Wei family. If there is anything you don't understand, you can always ask for their guidance."

"If you contribute enough to the Wei family, you'll have the opportunity to view the writings of our late semi-saint ancestor! Furthermore, you, Gu Xiaoyou, can move to Jinzhou, where the cultural atmosphere is richer and more convenient for your cultivation. Your mother will also receive better care. The clan leader said that as long as you agree, you will be treated as an elite disciple of the clan!"

After Wei Qing finished speaking, Gu Yunzhou fell into deep thought. His conditions were indeed superior. He had also inquired about the Wei family yesterday. They made their fortune more than two hundred years ago and were an old and established family. Their initial wealth came from this ancestor of the Wei family.

It is a pity that the ancestor of the Wei family passed away more than ten years ago. The head of the Wei family retired at the right time and returned to his hometown Jinzhou from the prosperous imperial capital. He began to concentrate on training the younger generations. He was not picky about talents. As long as they were really capable and had good character, he would try to recruit them into the Wei family.

Either they married into the Wei family or they showed favors to them. In short, after all these efforts, over the past ten years, although the Wei family no longer had a semi-saint ancestor, no one dared to underestimate them because of these people and the family's own foundation.

And what about Gu Yunzhou? Although he was exceptionally gifted, he came from a poor family. In the past, he had only Master Hu to occasionally answer his questions. But Master Hu had returned home, and the Gu family's relationship with him was merely a matter of courtesy.

Under such circumstances, he naturally needed to find a new way out. Therefore, facing the conditions offered by the Wei family - the great scholar could consult at any time, and the even more tempting semi-saint's handwritten notes, he was indeed very tempted.

But he soon had to give up the idea. The Wei family was good, but they couldn't protect him. If he really wanted to break up with the Gu family, it would be a fight to the death. It was obvious that you were planning to kill their legitimate son, so how could the Gu family let it go? The second branch of the Gu family was easy to deal with, and the Wei family was not a problem either, but the problem was the first branch of the Wei family.

The two families are from the same lineage. The eldest master of the Gu family, Gu Huai, is now an official in the court. It is said that he has a prosperous career and has reached the third rank. His son is even more amazing. At a young age, he has become a sixth-rank Confucian scholar. He also worshipped Zhang Xian, a half-saint from the Zhang family in the imperial capital, as his teacher. He became very famous for a while.

If something really happened to Gu Tianhua, the first wife of the Gu family would retaliate just to save face, not to mention that the first and second wives of the Gu family have been in close contact for so many years and seem to have a very good relationship.

Therefore, Gu Yunzhou planned to settle his mother first, and then slowly deal with the Gu family. Literary affairs should not involve innocent women and children, especially ordinary people who do not have literary spirit in their bodies, so Gu Yunzhou does not need to worry too much about Qin's safety.

Unless you encounter someone like Gu Tianhua, who is inherently brutal and shameless, this is still very rare. After all, Confucian scholars study literature and attach great importance to the word reputation. Over the years, the struggles between scholars on the Tianxing Continent have rarely implicated ordinary people.

After thinking it through, Gu Yunzhou restrained his expression and bowed gently to express his gratitude: "Thank you for the Wei family's appreciation for me. However, I have no intention of joining another family for the time being. Uncle Wei, please tell the head of the Wei family that if the Wei family needs my help in the future, I will not refuse!"

This is the disadvantage of owing favors to others. Even refusing them makes you feel guilty.

Wei Qing's expression remained unchanged, still smiling. He continued, "Gu Xiaoyou, our Wei family respects your choice. Of course, if you change your mind, we welcome you to join us at any time!"

"Also, this is what the family head specifically asked me to bring when I came here. He said that even though you are kind, you shouldn't suffer any loss. This is our compensation for taking the National Poem. In the end, we're the ones who got the better deal!"

As Wei Qing spoke, he took an exquisite and ancient box from the follower behind him and handed it to Gu Yunzhou.

"Thank you, Master Wei. I'm sorry to refuse!" During the two days of contact with the Wei family, Gu Yunzhou also knew that the Wei family wanted to make friends with him, perhaps because they saw his potential, so he did not refuse anymore. After all, the favor had already been owed, and it would not be a problem if he owed one more.

If there ever comes a day in the future when he can reach a high position, he should repay Wei Yu for the life-saving Snow Spirit Grass and Doctor Liu who the Wei family sent him from afar.
