Fast-paced era: a warm and leisurely life

Chapter 334 The Concubine of the Age 41

Count Edgar took the porcelain vase excitedly: "Oh!! This is so precious! Miss Gu, if you sell this thing, you can make more money than running a flower shop. Those guys can even find you whatever you want."

Gu Nuanyi smiled slightly: "I didn't give it to everyone. The Earl gave me such a big manor, so I have to give something back. Besides, running a flower shop is quiet, so I'm sure the Earl won't tell anyone about this."

"Of course!" Count Edgar opened the porcelain bottle, and a scent of medicine hit him in the face. After just one sniff, Count Edgar felt much better.

His expression immediately became serious: "I have to hide such a good thing! It is better to enjoy it alone than to share it with others."

I couldn't help shaking my head and cheering: "Oh, I love China"

The guard wanted to help take the porcelain bottle, but Count Edgar dodged the guard's hand and put the porcelain bottle in his arms: "NO, I want to take such a precious thing myself"

The guard withdrew his hand, looked helplessly at Count Edgar's bulging chest and said, "My Lord Count, you are more conspicuous like this..."

"Really?" Count Edgar lowered his head, and the shape of a porcelain bottle really stood out on his chest. It was indeed too conspicuous: "Oh! Is this the sentence... this place..."

Gu Nuanyi continued: "This is a case of trying to cover up one's own guilt."

Count Edgar nodded and said, "Yes, yes, that's right. This dress is too tight. Your Chinese clothes are better. You can put things in the sleeves without being easily discovered."

Count Edgar took the porcelain bottle out of his chest and handed it to his guard solemnly: "You must hold it for me."

Gu Nuanyi: "It is indeed necessary to take it carefully. Although the herbs here are all common herbs, it is too difficult to match the age. The most important ginseng must be over 100 years old."

After hearing this, Count Edgar snatched the porcelain bottle back and said, "This ginseng is older than me, so I'd better take it myself. Beautiful Miss Gu, I'll go back first."

Then he looked at his guards and said, "Quick, quick, come to my side. Remember, you must stay by my side and protect me all the time, okay?"

After returning to the castle, Count Edgar called his own doctor and took out a "health pill"

I thought it would be a waste to give one away for research, so I cut it in half.

Looking at the half of the pill, I felt reluctant to give it up, so I cut it in half again.

The doctor looked at the pill in his hand, which was only a quarter of its size, and his mouth twitched: "My Lord Earl, when did you become so stingy?"

"Do you know how precious this is? It contains ginseng that is older than me! China is truly amazing. One ginseng can live longer than an old man like me. Okay, just help me check if it's poisonous."

The doctor bowed and left the study. He looked at the quarter of a pill in his hand helplessly, "Did the Earl really get cheated? What's so good about China? Why does the Earl like China so much? Obviously, our Great Britain's medical technology is better than China's..."

But due to Count Edgar's instructions, the doctor took the pills for testing.

In order to better study the ingredients in it, the doctor took great pains to find an ancient Chinese medicine book.

The doctor felt dizzy and dazzled by the words that looked like hieroglyphics. After reading for a long time, he could only recognize the two words "ginseng".

"Ah!!!" The doctor scratched his head frantically: "How can there be such difficult words in this world!!!"

Count Edgar waited three days but did not get the test results.

I couldn't wait to go to the research institute built specifically for doctors.

"Hey, Gary, you check...OMG! You, what's wrong with you??"

Gary, with his clothes in disarray and his hair as messy as straw, lay on the table with his eyes blank.

It's like being severely tortured.

Gary heard Count Edgar's voice and looked up, looking even more miserable.

The cheeks are slightly sunken, and the dark circles and eye bags are so big that they almost fall to the ground.

Just as Gary was about to speak, he heard Count Edgar roar, "Who is it!! Who tortured you like this!!!"

Gary said hoarsely: "It's you, Lord Earl..."

"Me? How is that possible? I haven't seen you in the past few days!!"

"It's you. In order to study the pill you gave me, I specially found an ancient Chinese medicine book, but I can't understand it. It's too torturous!!!" Gary shouted to the sky, and then he cried aggrievedly: "I! A genius doctor from Great Britain, can't understand Chinese medicine, wuwuwu..."

"So you have become like this?" Count Edgar looked at Gary in disbelief.

"I! I, I am a genius doctor from Great Britain, but I was defeated by a medical book from China. I won't accept it! I will definitely be able to understand this book." Gary said excitedly and continued to read the ancient Chinese medicine book.

"First, tell me if the pill is poisonous?"

Gary waved his hand: "It's not poisonous, you can eat it."

Seeing Gary's obsession, Earl Edgar shrugged and prepared to leave.

As soon as Count Edgar turned around, Gary grabbed his pants. Fortunately, the servant tied them tightly today, otherwise the pants would have been pulled off.

Count Edgar pulled at his belt and asked through gritted teeth: "Gary, what are you doing?? My sexual orientation is normal, and don't you think it's really perverted for you to do this to an old man??"

"Sorry! I didn't mean to do that!" Gary got up in a hurry: "I just fell down accidentally..."

Count Edgar clutched his belt tightly and asked, "So? What do you want to say to an old man like me?"

Gary rubbed his hands and looked at Earl Edgar expectantly: "Mr. Earl, can you take me to see Miss Gu from China? There are some words in this medical book that I really can't understand! There is a medical book in front of me, but I can't understand what it means. Mr. Earl, can you understand the pain in my heart?"

"I can take you to see her, but I can't guarantee whether she will teach you or not. Also, you are not allowed to use my name to pressure others, okay?"

Gary nodded repeatedly: "I know, I know, Lord Earl, can we go now? I really can't wait."

Count Edgar glanced at Gary and said, "You'd better go and tidy up. It would be very rude to go there like this."

"Yeah"

After a series of clatters, Gary, who had straightened his appearance, stood in front of Count Edgar. He was so excited that he could not stand still and kept jumping around in small steps.

Count Edgar rolled his eyes, but he understood him. After all, he had been interested in medicine since he was a child and was quite obsessed with it.
