Chapter 28 Medicinal Cuisine +
After a good night’s sleep, when Mengyao Gu woke up the next morning, Gu Yu tidied up cheerfully. He then exercised in the courtyard, preparing to welcome a new day.
The most important thing today was to cook medicinal cuisine for his father-in-law, Gu Qing, to help him recover quickly. This way, he and his little wife could go home sooner.
Both of them missed Yang Family Village very much.
Especially Gu Qingheng, who was still staying at the academy. Gu Yu wondered if he was used to it…
Later, while cooking the medicinal cuisine in the kitchen, Gu Yu did not let anyone help him. He busied himself alone, successfully cooking the medicinal cuisine before preparing to serve it to Gu Qing.
The Medical Scripture not only contained various prescriptions for treating illnesses but also recorded medicinal cuisine for recuperation… Gu Yu had treated these medicinal cuisine recipes as cookbooks when he read them, and he remembered quite a few remedies for replenishing qi and nourishing the body.
They were useful now, but the taste…
Gu Yu smelled the strange scent emanating from the medicinal cuisine and quickly turned his head away, thinking he never wanted to smell this scent again!
This was not medicinal cuisine; even the smell of poison was better than this!
They said good medicine tastes bitter. He wondered how effective this medicinal cuisine would be… It would definitely be incredibly good!
Anyway, Gu Yu didn’t even want to smell it, let alone… Gu Qing drinking this bowl of medicinal cuisine.
As Gu Yu endured the strange smell and carried the medicinal cuisine into Gu Qing’s room, he had been guessing all the way whether his father-in-law would lose his temper on the spot.
After all, this bowl of medicinal cuisine was truly hard to describe.
Subsequently, when Gu Yu entered the room with the medicinal cuisine, Gu Qing’s expression remained unchanged at first when he smelled it. However, the increasing frequency of his eyebrows twitching clearly showed that he was very unaccustomed to the smell.
But just as Gu Yu thought his father-in-law would say something, Gu Qing directly took the bowl of medicinal cuisine, held his breath, tilted his head back, and drank it all in one gulp. The bowl was very clean.
If there wasn’t such a small amount of medicinal cuisine, Gu Yu would have been afraid his father-in-law would choke…
Gu Qing drank the medicinal cuisine as boldly as he drank alcohol, which made Gu Yu can’t help but cast an admiring gaze. He thought, as expected of his son-in-law, he was truly amazing.
This was a true warrior! He dared to face this bowl of medicinal cuisine without a trace of fear!
At this moment, Gu Qing, who had just drunk the medicinal cuisine, had no choice but to endure it.
Earlier, when Xing Zhi saw Gu Yu cooking the medicinal cuisine, he had already come to inform Gu Qing in advance. Gu Qing felt touched by his son-in-law’s thoughtfulness and thought he would have to praise him well when Gu Yu came over later.
Since the grain transport team returned yesterday, Xing Zhi had stayed in Gu Qing’s room for half the night, explaining in detail everything that happened along the way.
Afterward, Xing Zhi also mentioned that General Gongsun had called him over and lectured him, so that his master would not be completely unaware of everything.
Anyway, Xing Zhi was already part of the Gu family. No matter how powerful General Gongsun was, he was not his master.
Xing Zhi had followed Gu Qing for many years and had seen the changes in Gu Qing before and after he regained his memory. He naturally knew the importance of Mengyao Gu and her brother in Gu Qing’s heart, and he absolutely could not let General Gongsun make a move against the siblings.
And the only person who could stop General Gongsun was his master… or rather, his mistress.
Thinking of this, Xing Zhi started to feel conflicted again. If the young lady knew about the affairs in the mansion, she would definitely not let it go.
Who knew what the outcome would be then.
The young lady and the master had the same temper and were very similar!
Not to mention, there was also a doting son-in-law, who would surely side with the young lady…
Not only Xing Zhi was conflicted, but Gu Qing was also conflicted about this matter. However, these things could be discussed later. What mattered most now was that this son-in-law was very good, making him very satisfied.
Not only was he quick-witted, but he was also courageous. Even dangerous tasks like sneaking into the enemy camp at night to destroy grain could be done with Mengyao Gu. Not to mention his intelligence, strategic planning, and decisive actions later… In a few more years, he would surely become an exceptionally talented individual.
Gu Qing naturally did not want to miss such talent and thought that having him under his command would be a great help.
However, Gu Qing thought about his daughter’s deep feelings for her husband. If Gu Yu were to come to the battlefield, Mengyao Gu would definitely not agree.
Moreover, after careful consideration, Gu Qing also felt that Gu Yu should not be brought to the battlefield.
After all, even he could not guarantee victory in every war. If his son-in-law died with him on the battlefield, his daughter would become a widow…
However, although he was worried about his daughter’s future and did not intend to put Gu Yu in danger, Gu Qing felt very comfortable hearing Gu Yu cook medicinal cuisine for him. He thought that his son-in-law was indeed thoughtful, and he liked it.
It was just that the taste of the medicinal cuisine was not good.
After forcibly gulping it down, Gu Qing didn’t even want to speak now, for fear that he would spit it out as soon as he opened his mouth. So, he could only raise his hand and wave at Gu Yu, signaling him to leave.
When Gu Yu saw that Gu Qing wanted to rest, he did not stay there any longer. While returning to his room, he kept pondering what medicinal cuisine he should give his father-in-law tomorrow.
If it weren’t for the Medical Scripture stating that one should not consume too much medicinal cuisine in a day, Gu Yu wished he could serve a bowl in the morning, noon, and evening to speed up Gu Qing’s recovery.
“Yu, you’ve been busy all morning. Are you tired?”
“I’m not tired. It’s just cooking medicinal cuisine, it’s nothing! By the way, what were you doing, Mengyao? I haven’t seen you at all.”
“As soon as I went out this morning, a soldier insisted on dragging me to be his sparring partner. I had no choice but to spar with him. Who knew they wouldn’t make a move in the end.”
“…”
After returning to the room, Mengyao Gu had just changed her clothes and put on women’s attire again. She transformed from a dashing and handsome young master into a charming and lovely young lady, which made Gu Yu feel an urge to “molest” his wife.
As expected, his little wife looked better in women’s clothing!
When Mengyao Gu saw Gu Yu enter the room, she smiled and shook her head at his question, indicating that she wasn’t too tired.
As for Mengyao Gu, who was used to wearing men’s clothing in the morning, she was called over by a small soldier as soon as she stepped out of the room, ready to spar.
In Black Jade City, only a small portion of the soldiers had participated in the grain transport team last time. There were many more people in the military camp now, and they did not recognize Mengyao Gu.
Naturally, they did not understand her terrifying abilities.
Since Mengyao Gu had nothing else to do, she stood in the arena as if helping, preparing to spar with everyone and also test her current kung fu.
Although Mengyao Gu did not know kung fu, she was very powerful relying on her innate divine strength.
Even though she deliberately controlled her strength, sometimes, even without fancy moves, it was enough for her opponent.
For example, during the spar, when Mengyao Gu accidentally crushed a paving stone, the atmosphere suddenly became quiet, and everyone’s eyes widened, unable to believe what they were seeing.
A perfectly intact paving stone was crushed!
Mengyao Gu naturally would not admit it, only saying it was a coincidence… But in the subsequent spars, when she crushed another paving stone with her bare hand, no one believed her anymore.
She was so powerful, it was like bullying novices!
Actually, they had truly misunderstood Mengyao Gu. To ensure fair competition, Mengyao Gu had been controlling her strength. However, during the fierce intensity of the spar, she couldn’t help it.
Therefore, after no one was willing to spar with Mengyao Gu anymore, she could only leave.
However, because she had exercised, Mengyao Gu wiped herself clean and changed back into women’s clothing.
When Gu Yu heard that his little wife had sparred with others, he couldn’t help but silently mourn for Mengyao Gu’s sparring opponents, thinking, who else could she have sparred with but her? Wasn’t she asking for trouble?
“Mengyao, I’ve already started cooking medicinal cuisine for father-in-law. I believe he’ll be full of energy soon after eating it. You don’t have to worry, everything will be fine.”
“Mmm, I naturally believe in you, Yu! If you say you can do it, you definitely can.”
Afterward, worried that Mengyao Gu was still distressed about Gu Qing’s health, Gu Yu quickly explained the treatment process for Gu Qing, assuring Mengyao Gu that he would cure Gu Qing.
Of course, the special taste of the medicinal cuisine was not mentioned.
The process was unimportant, as long as the result was good.
[Mengyao Gu’s Favorability +30, Space is upgrading…]
Mengyao Gu was naturally deeply touched by this.
When Gu Yu heard Mengyao Gu’s reply, he felt elated inside, thinking his little wife’s words were so pleasant to hear, making him feel extremely comforted.
This feeling of being trusted made Gu Yu very happy, no matter how many times it happened.
Especially since the person who trusted him was Mengyao Gu.
“Miss, Young Master! General Gongsun has returned victorious! Not only did he achieve a great victory, but he also captured the main general of Luoluo Kingdom. This is truly gratifying!”
Just as Gu Yu was about to give his little wife a kiss, Xing Zhi’s excited voice suddenly came from outside the house. Although it was indeed good news, it was really the wrong time.
It was right when the two were being intimate, it was truly… Alas! Such bad luck.
When Mengyao Gu heard the news of the victory, she was stunned for a moment, then a look of disbelief slowly appeared on her face.
Finally, as it turned into ecstasy, Mengyao Gu excitedly grabbed Gu Yu’s hand and kept jumping in place, looking so excited that she didn’t know what to say. Seeing this, Gu Yu couldn’t help but rejoice with her.
Regardless, the victory in the war was indeed a good thing.
This meant that the Luoluo Kingdom’s people would no longer secretly send people to harass them, and there would be no more fighting, so there would be no more casualties.
In short, it was a good thing.
But after the joy, Gu Yu’s eyebrows suddenly furrowed… Now that the war was resolved, other matters would likely take precedence.
Gu Yu looked at Mengyao Gu, who was still rejoicing, and when he saw her cute smiling face, his worries were immediately thrown aside.
Even if Gongsun Jie wanted to deal with Mengyao Gu, he would have to see if Gu Yu agreed.
As long as he was by Mengyao Gu’s side for a day, no one, no matter who it was, could harm her.
