Nosebleed
Sure enough, training with Gu HanMo for half a month saw Yu Fu was able to move her body quite a bit more freely.
“Third young sir teaches very well. Young miss’ complexion is quite a bit better now!”
While Lian Zhu was styling her hair in the mirror, she saw that her cheeks were rosy. They resembled red plum blossoms blooming in a snowy field.
“Really?”
Yu Fu happily stood up and examined her face in the mirror.
Her hair had become a little longer, and Lian Zhu had tied it into two hoops. The two rings of hair hung by her ears, giving her a very cute appearance.
“That’s right, and young miss seems to have grown a little taller.”
Lian Bi stood to the side and watched, waving to Yao Lan, “Yao Lan, come and compare with the young miss. Take a look. Hasn’t the young miss grown a little taller?”
Yao Lan and Yu Fu lined up back to back, and everyone looked carefully. They could not help but let out a cheer.
Yin Lan clapped and said: “Sure enough, young miss has grown taller. Previously, you and Yao Lan were roughly the same height. Now, you are this much taller!”
Saying this, she used her thumb and index finger to gesture a small gap.
Yu Fu herself was also very happy, “It must be the bird nest and other supplements that the head general sent me. Taking all of them must have made me grow taller. Yao Lan, do you want to grow more quickly too? How about you take them with me next time?”
Yao Lan shook her head. Just as she was about to say that she did not think that she was short, she suddenly saw something drip down from inside Yu Fu’s nose.
“Young miss, you…”
Yu Fu herself had not yet noticed anything, exuberantly saying: “I am going to tell head general and eldest brother that I’ve grown taller!”
Saying this, she began to run out with everyone following behind her, as drops of blood dripped with every step.
“Young miss!”
Lian Zhu’s face immediately turned pale with fear, as she rushed forward to stop Yu Fu. Only then did she realize that there were drops of blood on her face.
“Quickly, quickly go and send for an imperial physician!”
…
Imperial Physician Sun and the members of Marquis Gu’s manor gathered in the Western Wing. They saw a small piece of cloth stuffed into Yu Fu’s nose and Yu Fu lying on a divan with her head tilted back.
Seeing that Gu HuaiJiang was alarmed, she wanted to get up to greet him, but she was quickly pushed back down by Gu HuaiJiang.
“Don’t move.”
He glanced around the room at the maidservants, “What exactly happened here? Yu Fu was perfectly fine, so how did she end up getting hurt?”
Lian Zhu’s face was bright red. Who knew if it was a result of nervousness or shame, as she stepped forward and replied in an awkward fashion.
“It’s like this. Young miss Yu Fu said that she wanted to go and look for Lord Marquis. As she ran, she began bleeding until blood completely covered her face. We servants were so scared that we directly sent for an imperial physician. It was only after this that we found… found…”
Imperial Physician Sun let out a chuckle.
“Found out that young miss Yu Fu merely had a nosebleed and was not hurt, right?”
Lian Zhu nodded, her face extremely red. Only then did everyone relax. It turned out that it was a false alarm.
“Though a nosebleed isn’t anything serious, since Imperial Physician Sun has come, how about carefully checking Yu Fu’s pulse?”
Gu ShuBai moved to the side, and Imperial Physician Sun agreed, walked over to the divan.
“Young miss Yu Fu, have you ever examined your own pulse?”
Yu Fu nodded, “I have. I am quite well, and there are no problems. I have been training with third brother these past few days, and my body has gotten a little stronger. Why would I suddenly have a nosebleed?”
This was her first time ever having a nosebleed.
Ever since the previous incident when Yu Fu had fallen into the water, Imperial Physician Sun had a bit of an understanding of Yu Fu’s situation, and he immediately nodded.
“After all, young miss does not have a background in medicine. It’s inevitable that there are things that you do not know. Furthermore, you previously mentioned that you mainly ate the vegetables and wild game while in Immortals Valley. Those things are light and mild and naturally will not cause nosebleeds.”
Gu ShuBai heard those words and seemed to have thought of something, causing the corner of his lips to twitch.
The others, however, were still confused.
“Imperial Physician Sun, what exactly is wrong with Yu Fu? Just say it straight.”
It was inevitable that Gu HuaiJiang would be worried, and he asked directly. Imperial Physician Sun turned his head and replied: “Replying to Lord Marquis, it’s not a serious problem. May I ask if young miss ate a large amount of supplements today? Young miss said that she trained in martial arts today. Taking too many supplements on such a day left her small body unable to endure it; moreover, her body absorbed the supplements even better with her having trained in martial arts. The nosebleed is simply resulting from this.”
In the end, Imperial Physician Sun’s explanation was that she had taken too many supplements.
Gu HuaiJiang frowned, “How could that be? It was Lord Liu and Lord Li from court who told this marquis. They said that their daughters eat bird nest and E-gelatin every day as supplements. Why have I never heard them say anything about their daughters having nosebleeds?”
Imperial Physician Sun did not know whether to laugh or cry.
Amongst military men, Gu HuaiJiang could already be considered a scholarly general and was not that crude and rash.
But when it came to the delicate task of raising a daughter, he really was rash beyond reason.
“Lord Marquis, please allow this subordinate official to speak bluntly. For smaller families, they might have their daughters eat two taels of bird nest on a good day, but what about your manor? It’s possible that even one pound would be considered a small amount! You can’t force supplements into her like this!”
Imperial Physician Sun felt righteously indignant for a while then said: “You truly are too clueless on how to raise a daughter. If you don’t know how to raise one, just let young miss Yu Fu come to stay at my manor for a few days. I guarantee that I can adjust things so that she is in perfect condition. I… hey, hey, hey, what are you doing?”
Before Imperial Physician could finish speaking, Gu JiuGe gave a look, and the servants outside immediately carried Imperial Physician Sun out.
Gu ShuBai laughed and glanced at him.
“To actually dare to snatch a daughter away from father, if he did not leave now, he would not be able to leave.”
Only Imperial Physician Sun would able to say such a thing, actually thinking of bringing Yu Fu to his manor.
“Who could possibly be blind to his intentions? Isn’t it just to get close to Yu Fu and ask her more about the God of Medicine!”
The two quietly chatted, while Gu HuaiJiang had walked over to Yu Fu with an apologetic look on his face.
He had already worked very hard to learn about how the other officials were raising their daughters. Who knew that he would still make a mistake.
“General, I’m fine. Aunty Li said that all young children have nosebleeds. Eldest brother, what do you think?”
She looked past Gu HuaiJiang’s shoulder to look at Gu ShuBai.
Gu ShuBai’s brow slightly raised, but how could he possibly be willing to admit such a thing in front of her? This would just ruin his image for nothing.
Gu JiuGe saw that he did not respond, thus he also remained silent.
This was nothing honorable. Who would willingly say such a thing?
“Right, right, Gu Xiang would often have nosebleeds when he was young. Each time, two balls of rough paper would be stuffed into his nostrils. That’s why his nostrils are so large!”
Gu Yi proudly beat his chest and cheerfully sneered in Gu Xiang’s direction.
Having been described as having large nostrils, Gu Xiang’s face quickly turned red, as he grabbed Gu Yi by the neck.
“You traitorous little shit of a brother, we were born the same. If my nostrils are large, doesn’t that mean that your nostrils are also large?”
