Chapter 404: Getting a Master
In the package, there were two ancient paintings, one from the Tang Dynasty and one from the Song Dynasty. Both were masterpieces.
There were four snuff bottles and two jade ornaments of top quality.
There was also an inkstone and a pen wash.
The other box contained all jewellery and jade.
The shininess from the jewellery seemed to burst out after opening the box.
The first layer contained a variety of bracelets. There were old-fashioned dragon and phoenix bracelets, gold and jade gemstone bracelets, and various diamond bracelets. There were a total of twenty-six items.
The second layer contained a variety of necklaces, both gemstone necklaces and diamond necklaces. The styles were different but were all very delicate.
The third layer contained the rings. There were in total thirty-six classical jade rings and diamond rings. There were also six jade thumb rings.
The last layer contained all jade bracelets. They were organized neatly and there were fifty of them.
There was a pair of emperor green jade bracelets in the middle. Those were the top quality jade.
The Jiangnan Medical Family was indeed wealthy.
The number of items was not a surprise. What was really surprising was the quality of these items. They were all valuable and rare items that normal people could never have.
Furthermore, it was more astonishing that they could preserve them.
Seeing Gu Qingyao’s eyesight landing on the pair of emperor green bracelets in the middle, Jiang Yiru knew that the young lady was professional in recognising the top-grade jade.
She smiled and her smile seemed to be treacherous.
“Yao Yao, the second thing is that I want to take you as my disciple and teach you all my skills. If you agree, the meeting gift for you is a set of gold silk red jade jewelry. Gold silk red jade! The full set!
“There are a pair of bracelets, necklaces, earrings, brooches, rings, head ornaments, and a beaded flower. They are top-grade items and are more valuable than the pair of emperor green bracelets. Grandma did everything possible to get them. They are the best of the best. What do you think? Do you want to be my disciple?”
Gu Qingyao: “…”
She glanced at Mo Beihan. Was it so obvious that she loved money and valuables?
Mo Beihan smiled but did not say anything.
Gu Qingyao looked at Jiang Yiru. She was the heir of the Jiangnan Medical Family. It would be beneficial for her to have Jiang Yiru as her master as she was very knowledgeable and skilled.
She liked medicine and was talented in her previous life. Her grandfather was a famous doctor but could not be compared with Jiang Yiru.
In her previous life, she studied medicine as well, but that did not mean that Jiang Yiru was not capable of teaching her.
Medicine was a deep and complex profession. Gu Qingyao did not think that she knew everything that Jiang Yiru knew though she was very famous in medicine in her previous life.
Furthermore, it would be easier for her to use the identity of Jiang Yiru’s disciple when she practiced medicine in the future.
“Grandma, do you really want to take me as your disciple?”
Jiang Yiru smiled, “Yes. It’s rare to meet such a talented girl like you. I have devoted my whole life studying medicine and only took two disciples. I’d rather have no disciple than take many blindly.
“The two of them are both overseas now. I’m not even sure if I can meet them for the rest of my life. I’m old now and what a coincidence that I met you. It’s a pity if my skills are not passed down.
“I will teach you everything in the last few years of my life.”
Gu Qingyao certainly accepted since it was such a good deal.
