Exile at the start? The princess is no ordinary woman.

"Here's twenty taels of silver. Take it. Buy whatever books, writing materials, etc., you're welcome. Remember to let me know when you've spent it all."

He was still young, and Gu Nanzhi could see through his thoughts at a glance, so she made the decision for him directly.

"Shuyi, what about you? What do you like to do? And Shuqing,"

“You don’t need to be in a difficult position. You say you want to repay my kindness, but I don’t need maids or servants. If you want to repay my kindness, then use your talents. When you have achieved something, then you will be able to repay my kindness. You should understand this principle.”

The concerns and hesitations in the hearts of the three Ren siblings were easily dispelled by Gu Nanzhi's simple words: Yes, they were nothing now, so how could they talk about repaying a debt of gratitude?

Gu Nanzhi is no ordinary person and cannot farm. Therefore, if they want to repay her kindness, the only way is to make themselves valuable so that they can help her in the future. That is true repayment.

After thinking it through, Ren Shuyuan did not refuse the money Gu Nanzhi gave him to buy books.

"Miss, I understand. I will certainly live up to your expectations."

Ren Shuyi also verified the things that interested him.

"Miss, I want to go into business,"

Seeing that his second brother had also spoken, Ren Shuqing hesitated before finally expressing his own thoughts.

"Miss, I...I want to study medicine with you,"

Seeing the three people's reactions, Gu Nanzhi was very satisfied. However, she was a little surprised by Ren Shuqing's idea. This little girl actually said that she wanted to study medicine?

"Is this what you two truly think?"

Ren Shuyi and Ren Shuqing nodded.

"Yes, miss,"

Ren Shuyuan also chimed in from the side.

"Miss, Shuyi has indeed been interested in business since he was a child. Before the family's misfortune, Shuyi was in charge of keeping accounts at the bookstore. As for Shuqing, she had read two books on medicinal herbs before, but because she is a girl, her parents were worried about her safety. Otherwise, they would have sent her to the clinic as an apprentice long ago."

If she could receive instruction from Miss now, it would surely be her great fortune.

If that's the case, wouldn't that be a good thing for her? Wouldn't this mean we've found someone useful?

Gu Nanzhi raised her eyes and looked at the two of them.

"Shuyi wants to learn business?"

"Yes Miss"

"Shuqing wants to study medicine?"

"Please, miss, grant my request."

The two nodded, their eyes still filled with a hint of eagerness. Originally, they had lost all hope, but now, thanks to the young lady's rescue, they were reunited. With her support, they still had the hope of doing what they had always loved. Such kindness was something they could never repay in their lifetime.

"Alright, Shuyi, there's no rush. As for Shuqing, I'll take you as my little apprentice."

Miss Xie

Ren Shuqing was overjoyed. She had witnessed Gu Nanzhi's prowess in the past few days, and now she even had the opportunity to learn medicine from her...

"Nan Nan"

Just then, Jun Yanchen arrived in the living room, followed by He Mobai and Bai Zang.

"lady"

Having just decided to teach Ren Shuqing medicine, Gu Nanzhi then saw Bai Zang. She had witnessed Bai Zang's proactive actions over this period.

Thinking of something, Gu Nanzhi looked at Bai Zang with a smile.

"Bai Zang, do you still want to become my disciple?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Zang instantly perked up, his eyes filled with eagerness as he looked at Gu Nanzhi.

"Madam, are you willing to take me as your apprentice?"

Gu Nanzhi nodded.

"Yes, I agree."

A...you agreed?

Bai Zang could hardly believe it; had he managed to reform the lady?

Seeing that the lady didn't seem to be joking, he finally dared to believe it and immediately prepared to kneel down and become her disciple.

“Madam Xie, no, Master Xie… No, this is too hasty. Please wait a moment, Madam. I will prepare tea and formally become your disciple.”

Bai Zang was momentarily at a loss, and after kneeling for a while, he quickly got up, thinking of preparing a fresh cup of tea.

"and many more"

Gu Nanzhi suddenly called out to him, and Bai Zang turned around, somewhat nervous. Could it be that Madam had changed her mind?

"lady......"

Gu Nanzhi's smile was somewhat malicious.

"Don't worry, I don't regret it. I just asked you to prepare two drinks, and I also took you in as a junior sister. From now on, you, as her senior brother, will be guiding her."

Ah? ? ?

Junior sister? ??

This junior sister really surprised the others who came in later.

"lady......"

Seeing their reaction, Gu Nanzhi kindly began to explain to them.

“I just talked with them and confirmed where the three of them will go in the future. Shuyuan will continue his studies and participate in the provincial examination to obtain official rank. Shuyi will come with me to prepare to go into business. Shuqing said he wanted to study medicine, so I took him on as an apprentice.”

These three people were rescued by Gu Nanzhi, and they had all been investigated and found to be innocent. No one objected to Gu Nanzhi's arrangement.

As for whether Bai Zang will teach his junior sister, let him teach her if his master tells him to. The important thing is that he successfully became a disciple.

Two cups of fresh tea were quickly served, and Gu Nanzhi sat down on a stool.

Bai Zang and Ren Shuqing knelt before them and offered them a cup of tea.

"Master, please have some tea."

"Master, please have some tea."

Having drunk the tea ceremony for the new master, Gu Nanzhi now has two apprentices.

"Well, my good disciples, I have nothing to give you. Bai Zang, I will give you this set of scalpels. As for Shu Qing, I will give you a set of silver needles."

"Thank you, Master."

"Thank you, Master."

The two were overjoyed with the gift from their master. Bai Zang was currently learning the art of sewing from Gu Nanzhi, and he had been eyeing this gift for a long time.

As for Ren Shuqing, she's just starting out, and there's so much for her to learn in the early stages. She won't be using the silver needles for the time being, but she can't show favoritism to one of her two apprentices taken in at the same time.

Ren Shuqing herself was equally excited. Although she didn't understand it, she would have her own set of silver needles in the future, which was a gift from her master. Her medical journey had begun.

"Alright, now that I've accepted you as my disciples, I'll give you six words today: meticulousness, benevolence, and unity. Carefully consider them and always keep them in mind."

"Yes, Master, I will remember this."

Gu Nanzhi was also a first-time teacher, so she could only try her best to teach her apprentices in her own way.

She had already accepted a disciple, and He Mobai, seizing the opportunity amidst the joy, wanted to secure this rare talent for his master.

"Madam, since you've agreed to take Bai Zang as your apprentice, what do you think of my previous suggestion? Our Divine Healer Valley has a vast collection of ancient medical books, books that can't be found elsewhere..."

He Mobai knew that Gu Nanzhi was interested in the medical books of their Divine Doctor Valley, so he could only use the medical books as bait...

Gu Nanzhi knew he was doing it on purpose, but it was truly impossible to refuse. He Mobai, this disciple of the Divine Doctor Valley, was indeed highly skilled in medicine. If she hadn't had more knowledge of Western medicine and the use of poisons, she wouldn't have dared to act recklessly in the field of traditional Chinese medicine alone.

"Dr. He, didn't you say your master has gone traveling the world? If I agree, can you find your master? Will he accept me as his apprentice?"

Is this a good sign? He Mobai is getting excited.
