“Lady Gu’s medical skills have been buried in this small town. If Lady Gu can find a foothold in Jing City you don’t have to come back,” Huang Rongfa suggested from the bottom of his heart.

Jing City was a place that everyone looked forward to. Many people would never be able to go there. If Gu Qingxue’s family could find a foothold there, her life would be much better than in Dafu Village.

“No, I must come back. Shopkeeper Huang, I will go back tonight and prepare all the medicine that I prescribed today. I will send it to you tomorrow,” Gu Qingxue said.

Huang Rongfa could not persuade her anymore, so he nodded and watched Gu Qingxue leave.

On the way back, Gu Qingxue bought some freshly baked peach pastries and rushed home in a carriage.

When she returned to the courtyard house in Dafu Village, Gu Qingxue heard a series of recitations before she even entered the house.

“The rules of being a good student are as follows…”

The three children spoke in unison, reading very seriously.

“Lil’ Lin, Dumby, Lingbao, mother is back.” Gu Qingxue pushed open the house door and looked at the north wing where the children were studying.

As soon as she finished speaking, the door of the north wing was pushed open, and the three cubs ran out hurriedly, “Mother!”

Gu Qingxue hugged the children one by one and stuffed the warm peach cobbler into their arms, “Go back to your studies first. I’ll call you when mother has finished cooking dinner.”

The three children gave Gu Qingxue a piece of peach cobbler first, then ran back to their rooms to continue their studies.

Gu Qingxue went back to the kitchen and cooked a table of dishes with some vegetables and fresh meat that was available in the house. She then divided the unused and perishable vegetables into several portions and waited for the meal to be finished. She then asked the three children to send these things to their friends’ home.

They would not be back for at least a month. Besides the rice noodles and preserved meat, which could be stored for a long time, the other perishable vegetables and meat were better given to others so that they would not waste them.

Today’s main dish was crucian carp tofu soup. Gu Qingxue brought the dishes to the table and called the three pups over for dinner.

Gu Qingxue looked at the three children’s ruddy little faces with great satisfaction.

After half a month of careful feeding by her, the three children had finally gained some weight. Their faces were no longer as sallow as before. Instead, they had regained their fair and ruddy complexion. They looked exactly like the little boys in the new year paintings.

“Mother has something to announce today. Next, we are going on a long trip to Jing City,” Gu Qingxue said. The three children stopped what they were doing at the same time and looked at Gu Qingxue in surprise.

“Is… Is it that Jing City? Mother, why are we going there?” Gu Lin asked in surprise and joy.

“Mother’s grandmother, which is your great-grandmother, is going to celebrate her 70th birthday. Mother will bring you there to celebrate her birthday.” Gu Qingxue naturally could not tell them the real reason.

“Wow, I want to go! People say that Jing City is several times bigger than Qingyuan Town, and there are many delicious and fun things to eat!” Lingbao said with a face full of longing.

“That’s great, mother. When do we set off?” Dumby could not wait to leave immediately.

“We’ll set off tomorrow at noon.” Gu Qingxue could not help but feel relieved when she saw Dumby and Lingbao looking forward to it.

She was worried that the children would not want to go.

However, Gu Lin seemed to be in a dilemma. He frowned and did not say anything.
