A messenger pigeon?

Gu Yundong raised her eyebrows and followed the messenger pigeon.

As expected, it stopped outside Shao Qingyuan’s courtyard.

She walked in directly. The messenger pigeon was indeed standing outside the courtyard. Ah Mao was feeding it with the millet.

When he saw Gu Yundong enter, he immediately greeted her. “Miss, are you here to look for Young Master? Young Master is in the study.”

“Yes, I’ll go in and take a look.”

Gu Yundong reached out to touch the messenger pigeon before continuing inside.

Shao Qingyuan had indeed just opened a letter from the pigeon’s leg. There was a large number of words written in the letter. Most of them were praise for him, while the other half conveyed a message—let him go to the capital.

This pigeon belonged to Dr. Song Dejiang. Shao Qingyuan had never met Dr. Song, but they knew each other’s existence.

Gu Yundong had seen that Shao Qingyuan was talented in medicine and had a photographic memory of the medical book that Dr. Song had given him. He developed a good medicine for internal injuries according to the medical book. After other medicines were successful, Gu Yundong wrote a letter to Song Dejiang and asked him to send several medical books.

Later on, Shao Qingyuan opened his own pharmacy. He directly contacted Song Dejiang about medicine.

After a while, the two of them became familiar with each other. Gradually, Song Dejiang admired Shao Qingyuan even more.

This messenger pigeon was the way the two of them communicated.

Recently, Shao Qingyuan had been researching on the cowpox vaccination method to deal with smallpox. He had not told Song Dejiang about this before because Yundong had racked her brains to think of a way to make a contribution to the emperor. Before he succeeded, he had to keep it a secret.

However, after they reported this matter to Qin Wenzheng a few days ago, the latter quickly sent the letter to the capital.

Since the emperor knew, Song Dejiang naturally knew too.

As a result, he immediately sent a pigeon to ask Shao Qingyuan to make a trip to the capital where the two of them would discuss the cowpox vaccination method in detail.

However, after Shao Qingyuan finished reading the letter, he frowned.

After a pause, he took a brush and paper from the side with a cold expression and wrote a single word on it—No.

Just as he finished writing, Gu Yundong came in.

When she saw such a huge word on the paper, she was stunned for a moment and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Shao Qingyuan didn’t hide it from her. “Song Dejiang asked me to go to the capital, but I rejected him.”

It would be the new year in a month or so. He was not willing to go to the capital at this time. It was so cold that he could not even make it back for the new year.

After saying that, he folded the paper and compressed it into a small roll. Then, he asked Ah Mao to bring the messenger pigeon in and stuffed the roll into the small bamboo tube tied to the messenger pigeon’s leg.

The paper was too big and it took some effort to stuff in.

Gu Yundong silently turned her head. Brother Shao, you only wrote a single word. Actually, there was no need to use such a large piece of paper. Really.

When Song Dejiang received such a thick scroll later, he would think that you had a lot to say. When he opened it and read it, he would definitely jump in anger.

After stuffing the paper in, Shao Qingyuan let go.

Ah Mao was about to go out when there was a sudden sound outside.

The three people in the study turned around and saw another messenger pigeon on the windowsill, jumping.

There was also a small bamboo tube tied to its leg.

Gu Yundong and Shao Qingyuan looked at each other. “This is still Dr. Song’s messenger pigeon, right?”

“Yeah.”

Ah Mao quickly carried the messenger pigeon over and took out the note from the bamboo tube.
