“She is very beautiful now, right?” Guo Sirou took a sip of tea.

“She is very beautiful, even more than before.” Guo Zhenghe smiled. No matter whom he was facing, his face always had a smile. It made people feel like he was an approachable person, which was why his new colleagues and bosses showed their appreciation to him.

“Did you decide to marry her after seeing her face?” Guo Sirou asked. As his elder sister, she felt like she always knew her brother. But, as time went on, she found she could not understand her younger brother anymore.

“Yes.” Guo Zhenghe did not deny it. No one would marry a person who could die at any time and was ugly, especially if he had ambitions in his heart.

“If you can say it when the scarf on her face hasn’t been removed, things will be much easier. Now, it will be much harder,” Guo Sirou said.

“Everyone in Jing knows that the little princess of the Su family is better and has become more beautiful, like a fairy.” Guo Sirou sighed. “The Su family is like a rising sun in the sky. Without any incidents, it can stand for at least 20 years. There are many people who want to play this card!”

Guo Sirou understood her younger brother’s thinking. Beauty and power were the two things that a man cared most about. If a man had to give up one thing, he would most likely give up the beauty. After all, one would own beauty as long as one owned power. He wanted to use the Su family’s resources for himself and his own home. At the same time, she was beautiful. It was like killing many birds with one stone.

“I went to see her early on,” Guo Zhenghe said. “We got along very well.”

He knew that during that period of time, people went to visit the Su family more diligently, but he went far earlier than them. He had already been visiting her when her illness improved.

She was a beautiful and sensible girl, and there was such a huge family behind her. Where could one find a daughter-in-law like her?

“What do you think?” Guo Zhenghe asked.

“Please ask our mother to talk to Mrs. Song,” Guo Sirou said. “Did you tell our mom?”

“No, I wanted to hear your opinion first,” Guo Zhenghe said.

She though, Opinion? What opinion could I have? But, she said, “I naturally support you, but you have to think about it. What if Mrs. Song refuses?”

“I will work hard to make Xiaoxue like me,” Guo Zhenghe said.

Guo Sirou stared at her brother. She hesitated and then said, “I met them when I was in Lianshan County.”

“Lianshan County, when?” Guo Zhenghe asked.

“Two days ago,” Guo Sirou said.

“They were going to see Wang Yao?” Guo Zhenghe asked.

“Yes,” Guo Sirou replied.

“Well, can we hire a person?” Guo Zhenghe asked. He actually already had that idea.

“There are more people having that idea,” Guo Sirou said. “So far, only the Su family has a better relationship with him.”

“Why? Is he aloof from politics and material pursuits?” Guo Zhenghe asked.

“It’s not aloofness. Some people don’t like being restrained. He is such a person,” Guo Sirou said. “If he joined us, he would gain a lot of things. But, he would also lose a lot.”

The big family could provide people with wealth, status, opportunities, and services. But, they would be tied to their interests. They would succeed or fail together. They would lose their freedom and be on call. This way of life would not be what Wang Yao wanted, so he would never agree.

“Do you want to find a solution? Doesn’t he still have a family?” Guo Zhenghe asked with a smile.

“What do you want to do?” Guo Sirou frowned slightly after listening to his words. “I have told you since you set foot on that road, you should use more plans and less conspiracy. Any promotion could only be got by righteousness.”

Guo Sirou had warned her brother of this more than once. She also heard some hearsay that her brother, after arriving at the basic level, seemed to have changed a bit and had become fond of playing tricks. This was not necessarily a good thing.

“I know, sister,” Guo Zhenghe replied seriously.

“Well, what you just said needs to be carefully considered. Marriage is a big event in life,” Guo Sirou said.

“I know, sister. What about you and Shijing brother?” Guo Zhenghe asked.

“I don’t want to mention it.” Guo Sirou was not happy at all about that matter. She stared at her brother and then said, “Well, it’s set been the elders, so it’s a little troublesome.”

“What happened?” he asked.

“Nothing. You have changed,” Guo Sirou said.

“Changed?” Guo Zhenghe smiled.

“I’m tired,” Guo Sirou said.

“Then, have a rest. I have other things to do.” Guo Zhenghe got up and left.

As she watched her younger brother leave, she though, He has really changed!

In the past, once Guo Zhenghe heard something that his sister didn’t like, he would let her refuse. Now, he had become more rational, dyed after entering the big dye tank. Or, perhaps this was the original heart of her own brother. Regardless, she was somewhat worried about him.

“Chen Lao, this is the prescription I asked for from him.” After returning from the mountain village, Wu Tongxing had first found Chen Lao. “Can you take a look?”

“This recipe…” Chen Lao took a look. “I have seen this recipe and used it.”

“Oh, on Su Xiaoxue’s body?” Wu Tongxing asked.

“Yes. It is a very effective recipe for warming, but this is not the medicine I asked you to find,” Chen Lao said. “There is a better warming remedy there named regather soup, which can be used to solidify the body foundation. The effect is very good. Guo’s father used it. Su Xiaoxue used it too. I also used it. I have told you.”

“I thought it was this recipe,” Wu Tongxing said.

“How can he easily tell other people about such a recipe? Every time he uses the medicine he previously prescribed, he takes it to the Su family for Xiaoxue,” Chen Lao said.

He did not tell Wu Tongxing too many details.

“It is my fault. I didn’t say it clearly,” Wu Tongxing said. “Is this medicine useful?”

“It is useful,” Chen Lao said. “Old Mr. Wu could take it, but you need to confer with his doctor. It is better not to use it with Western medicine.”

Wu Tongxing nodded. “I have to return to Qi province for a patrol. I will take time to visit again.”

“Again?” Chen Lao was surprised.

“Liu Bei invited Zhe Geliang to go out on the mountain three times. I want to express my sincerity,” Wu Tongxing said. “As long as he can cure my father’s illness, even if I need to go there 10 or 100 times, I would, let alone just three times!”

“Well, he has the innocent heart of the child!” Chen Lao smiled and stroked his beard. That was why he was willing to get along with this family. It had a “human touch.”

…

In Lianshan County, the health department posted a notice. It was the “Top 10 Famous Doctors.”

Not many people noticed it. Most of them were inside the system in various hospitals. They were familiar with the professional doctors in the count.

“I know Doctor Zhao. He is good at curing cardiovascular disease,” one department officer said.

“I have heard of Director Li. He is a pediatrician,” another officer said.

“Hey, who is this Wang Yao?” someone else wondered.

The people in the department knew most of the people inside the system, but they rarely knew the people outside the system.

“I have never heard of them,” one of the officers replied.

This publicity form did not cause much trouble, but the relevant departments still received some anonymous letters. The person most questioned about was Wang Yao.

Since the information provided by the public notice was limited, the top 10 people were with specific units. Only Wang Yao and another person, Zhang Mingde, were non-staff personnel. Zhang Mingde’s reputation in the county was currently greater than Wang Yao’s. That was probably because he was already 78 years old and had been a doctor for more than 50 years. The number of his disciples was no fewer than 10 people. In a small county, 50 years was enough time to accumulate fame. Considering his influence, people like him were questioned and doubted less.

Wang Yao was in the villa. Although he had some reputation, he had not been around that long.

“Director, what do you think?” an officer asked.

“There is no real evidence. It was just fabrication. Leave him alone,” the director said.

In a word, this matter was settled. In fact, it was the decision of the director’s county leader. They had to choose him.

“What the hell?” The officer was confused. Sometimes, some opinions had to be restrained.
