I originally thought I could have a relaxing half-month vacation, but a major accident occurred on the first day.
However, now that something has happened, we can only solve the "problem" as soon as possible to avoid leaving hidden dangers.
After Su Liang decided, Ning Jing didn't say anything.
She stood up and said, "The water is boiling. You go take a bath and have a good sleep. We will leave before dawn. I will prepare some food for you to take with you."
"You," Ning Jing's voice paused slightly, "can you stay alone?"
Su Liang hummed, "I know you think I'm weak. Who else is not weaker than you? I can't always follow you. That's it, you have to do it yourself."
It is actually a matter of time before the identity of "Tingjing" dies. It is impossible for someone to live a lifetime wearing a human skin mask, but now it is ahead of schedule.
Regarding his true identity, no more people can know, so no one can do it for him in the matter of "suicide".
"Okay." Ning Jing nodded, turned around and went out.
After bathing, Ningjing washed the clothes she had changed and hung them in the backyard to dry. When she came back to the kitchen to put the wooden basin, she saw Su Liang kneading dough.
"You don't need to light the fire. Go and take a nap. I'll call you when the time comes." Su Liang said without turning around.
Ning Jing put down the wooden basin, put her half-dried hair down, walked out of the kitchen, looked at the bright moon in the sky, sighed inaudibly, and went back to her room.
The sky will be bright.
Su Liang, who had not slept all night, entered Ningjing's room, "Master? Master, wake up?"
After Su Liang patted Ning Jing's shoulder for the third time through the quilt, he slowly opened his eyes.
"Why are you sleeping so deeply?" Su Liang felt a little strange, but he just muttered and told Ning Jing that the dry food was ready and he could hit the road.
Ning Jing got up and took a shower. Su Liang had already put breakfast on the table.
Sweet and soft white porridge, fragrant and soft egg pancakes, and vegetarian mixed vegetables.
In the bag next to him, Su Liang prepared meatloaf for him to eat on the road.
"We have to find a corpse." Su Liang said.
Ning Jing nodded, "You don't have to worry."
"Yes, then I don't care, you can figure it out yourself." Su Liang said and yawned.
After Ning Jing finished eating, Su Liang gave him all the medicines she had and explained how to use them.
As the sky turned bright, Su Liang took Ningjing's horse out of the stable and handed it over to Ningjing, "You go, pay attention to safety."
Ning Jing looked at Su Liang's sleepy little face, which was even more soft and lazy in the hazy morning mist.
Ning Jing asked her, "Do you have any etiquette when leaving?"
Su Liang was stunned for a moment, then laughed, took a step forward, reached out and hugged Ningjing gently, said "take care", and then let go.
There was no close physical contact between the two of them, they just touched their shoulders.
Ning Jing looked slightly startled.
Su Liang smiled and said, "That's it. You should leave quickly before others see it."
"Be careful, don't sleep too hard at night." After Ning Jing finished speaking, he led the horse to the back door.
Su Liang ran over and opened the back door, watching Ning Jing go out. When he turned back, he waved to him again.
Ning Jing got on his horse and headed towards the back mountain.
It wasn't until his figure disappeared from sight that Su Liang turned around, closed the door and locked it. She yawned and went to the front yard. When she heard the horse braying, she glanced at it and waved to the horse, "It's useless to yell.
It’s just you, you can play by yourself.”
After saying this, Su Liang sighed, shook his head and laughed, went straight back to the room, and fell asleep.
…
Su Liang didn't wake up until around noon. He opened his eyes and sat up, looking at the familiar surroundings. Thinking of yesterday's events, he rubbed his face and complained, "Damn Uncle Liang, he is really not a good person!"
When Su Liang went out, she heard someone talking outside the door.
She went to the kitchen, washed her face briefly with cold water, combed her hair, walked over to open the door, and saw Su Bai and Su Dakuan, Uncle Bai, sitting outside under the tree.
Seeing Su Liang coming out, the three of them stood up quickly, patted the dirt on their bodies, and walked over with smiles on their faces.
"Uncle Bai, Grandpa Dakuan, Uncle Bai." Su Liang called people with a smile, just like before.
Su Bai also looked very excited, "Yesterday, the county magistrate happened to want to see me, so he went to the county. It was too late to finish the work and he didn't come back. I didn't know you were back until I entered the village early this morning. I couldn't believe it at the time!
"
Because Sujia Village has produced two number one scholars and has opened a free school, Su Bai, the uncle of the martial arts number one scholar, now has a lot of face in front of the mayor and the county magistrate.
Su Liang smiled and said, "I'm just coming back to rest for half a month, and then I have to go back to Beijing."
Hearing Su Liang say that she had come all the way back to the village to rest, the three of them all felt at ease, knowing that she really considered this place her home.
Su Dakuan asked about his carpenter apprentice Ning Jinglai.
"He is very good. He is an official in the capital. He cannot leave the capital easily and not come back. I was ordered to go to the north to do something. After the matter is done, I will come back and stay for a few days." Su Liang said.
Uncle Bai said happily, "We have all heard that Liang Yatou defeated the first warrior of Liang Kingdom and won a city for our Qian Kingdom!"
The eyes of the three of them all read: This is the girl from our Sujia Village, she is so promising!
Su Liang invited them to sit at home, but the three of them said they just came to see her and would not go in.
In fact, the three of them had arrived early. They knocked on the door once but no one answered. Thinking that Su Liang might not have gotten up yet, they waited outside for a long time.
"Wait a moment." Su Liang said and turned back, quickly taking out two boxes of tea.
One box was given to Su Bai and the other to Su Dakuan. He said with a smile, "This is from Ningjing."
Uncle Bai also has one. Su Liang had already taken it last night, and it was exactly the same. Su Liang got it specially from Ning's shop in Xuanbei City. As the future wife of the house owner, she naturally didn't have to spend money.
"We rough people can't drink such precious tea..." Su Dakuan looked at the exquisitely carved box and knew it was worth a lot.
"Have you forgotten what the Ningjing family does? He sells tea, his own products, for free." Su Liang said.
Subai smiled broadly, "Master Ning is still thinking about us, he is really thoughtful."
"Tell Mrs. Bai and I'll come over for lunch."
As soon as Su Liang said these words, Uncle Bai smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed to slits, and he nodded like garlic, "Hey, hey, hey! Okay, okay! I'll go back and kill the chicken right now!" After saying this, he walked away briskly.
Su Bai quickly asked Su Liang to come to his house to eat in the evening.
Su Liang nodded quickly, "Okay, I just wanted to ask about the situation at Uncle Bai's school."
"Okay, I'll let your aunt prepare the table and let's have a few drinks." Subai said quickly.
Su Dakuan originally sold his house because of his illness and lived in a cave with his grandson Erniu.
Because of Su Liang's treatment, Su Dakuan's health has improved. He has superb carpentry skills. Many people heard that he taught Wen Zhuangyuan Ningjing carpentry and were willing to work with him.
Erniu and Xiaohu went to school together. Su Dakuan bought back the original homestead and built a new house after the spring. Now the grandfather and grandson are living a good life, and he looks several years younger.
Upon hearing that Su Liang was going to Bai's and Su Bai's houses for dinner, Su Dakuan quickly said that he would ask Su Liang to come to his house tomorrow and he would kill a sheep for Su Liang to eat.
Su Liang quickly waved his hand, "Keep it until the Chinese New Year and then kill it. I can't eat much. When I come over tomorrow, I'll ask you for some carpentry advice. I want to make an object."
Su Dakuan said Su Liang could go there anytime.
After sending away the guests who hadn't even entered, Su Liang closed the door, stretched, glanced at the quiet door, and said to himself silently, "It's just time to learn to be independent, and live a good life without him."
Xiaohu and Zhuzi came home from school. When they heard that Su Liang was coming home for lunch, they dropped their schoolbags and ran to call her.
"Sister Su Liang, it's time to eat!" The two little guys were lying on the door, but they didn't expect that the door was only ajar and there was no plug in, so they both fell to the ground.
Perhaps being embarrassed together is no longer embarrassing. The two of them got up and rushed to Su Liang happily.
“My milk stewed chicken!”
"There are also mushrooms, which are delicious!"
Su Liang thought to herself that Ningjing was thinking about picking mushrooms in the forest, but unfortunately she couldn't make it. She had time to pick the mushrooms, dry them in the sun, and bring them back to the capital.
Su Liang locked the door and walked to Bai's house. Xiaohu and Zhuzi were beside them, chattering.
Su Liang asked what Master taught him today, and Xiaohu shook his head and memorized the poem.
Zhuzi picked up a branch and wrote the names of Su Liang and Ning Jing on the ground. After writing, he asked with a smile, "When will sister Su Liang have a baby? My mother is going to give birth to a sister for us!"
Su Liang: ..."Ningjing" is going to die, give birth to a baby.
Then I thought again, even if someone is alive, their relationship is far from the point of having children.
But Zhu Zhu must let Su Liang give an answer.
Su Liang thought about it seriously and said, "It depends on God's will."
When we arrived at Bai's house, the whole yard was filled with fragrance.
Today Bai He came back to the village with his wife. The new wife was very shy and didn't know where to put her hands when she saw Su Liang.
Su Liang joked, "I'm not a man, what should I be afraid of?"
The new daughter-in-law blushed and said in a voice like a gnat, "Miss Su is so beautiful, just like a fairy daughter."
Everyone laughed.
Aunt Bai specially pulled Su Liang aside and said she would leave a separate portion of the dish for Su Liang to take back to her guards. Aunt Bai didn't even tell her family about this.
Su Liang said no, the guard was sent out by her to deliver the message and left last night.
The lunch was very lively, and Su Liang also drank a glass of wine brewed by Uncle Bai himself.
When Su Liang came home in the afternoon, she didn't know what to do for a while. If Ning Jing was here, she would have gotten up before dawn to practice Kung Fu, then competed with Ning Jing, and then read a book when she was tired.
The originally planned life rhythm was disrupted, so Su Liang skipped practicing martial arts and went back to his room to read, planning to start practicing martial arts again tomorrow morning.
Dinner was at Subai's house.
Su Bai reported to Su Liang in detail the situation of the village school, how many students there are now, what age they are, how many wives there are, and how much money they spent to hire them.
"Because they don't need any money, some adults are also learning to read and write. According to what you said, they even hired an old accountant to teach them how to calculate accounts, and many people are going to learn it." Su Bai said with a smile, "As agreed, if who does it?
If someone commits adultery or does bad things, his or her child will not be allowed to study in the village school. Now the atmosphere in the village has improved a lot. It's all thanks to your blessing."
"Actually, it's because of peace." Su Liang said with a smile.
Su Bai asked seriously, "You and Mr. Ning are really going to get married this time, right? We all heard that you got engaged again in the capital, and some people said that if it weren't for Mr. Ning, which prince would you marry?
This issue?"
Su Liang shook his head, "It's okay. I come from a humble background. It's not easy to get into the royal family."
Su Bai said sternly, "I'm very good with Mr. Ning. You two are very compatible in every aspect. He is very kind and his family is simple."
Su Liang nodded, "That's right, he's the only one." Soon no one in the Ning family was gone, and the family property was hers, so cool...
After getting down to business, Su Liang said he would go to the school to have a look tomorrow and then left.
Su Bai insisted on sending her home, but Su Liang couldn't help but agreed.
On the way, Su Bai mentioned Su Liang's grandfather and asked her if she had ever thought about moving Su Yuanzhou's grave back.
"The fallen leaves are returning to their roots." Su Bai sighed, "I'm just telling you, if you don't want to go through any more trouble, forget it."
"Let me think about this matter." Su Liang said. It is indeed troublesome to move the grave, but Su Yuanzhou is indeed the first generation to leave this village, and the ancestral grave is here. Judging from his care for Su Daqiang's family for many years, if
If he can die well, he will definitely come back.
But Duanmu Sheng is not dead yet, and Su Liang is afraid that if he really wants to move the Su family's graves, there will be too much noise and it will cause destruction by some people, so he plans to deal with all the people who should be dealt with first.
"If you need people, just ask. There are plenty of people in the village, and they won't give a shit about your family affairs," Suba said.
Su Liang nodded, "Okay, if I bother you all then, I won't be polite."
If we really want to move the graves of Su Yuanzhou's family back, we must ask for help when we get to the village.
Su Bai sent Su Liang to the door of his house and watched her enter before leaving.
Su Liang read two more pages and then went to bed.
Su Liang got up early the next morning to run and exercise. After breakfast, she went to practice martial arts. She felt a little uncomfortable without Ning Jing watching. No one was there to compete with her, so she felt like something was wrong.
Su Liang went to Su Dakuan's house for lunch. Although he didn't kill a sheep, the old man killed a fat chicken to entertain her.
Erniu, who came home from school, recited the poems taught today seriously. Su Dakuan's face was full of joy, "Master said that Erniu is the material for studying. I will live a few more years to provide him with a good study."
Erniu frowned and said, "Grandpa, my name is Su Mingcheng."
Su Dakuan smiled and said, "Look at this boy, he won't be called by his nicknames after he studies."
"Su Mingcheng, what do you want to do when you grow up?" Su Liangxiao asked.
Erniu puffed out his chest and said, "I want to be the same as brother Ningjing, take the first prize and become a high official! Take my grandfather to the capital to enjoy the blessings!"
Su Liang gave a thumbs up, "You are ambitious."
In the afternoon, Su Liang said she wanted to make a hairpin. Su Dakuan gave her a scrap of good wood and taught her how to use a carving knife.
Su Liang thought she had learned it, so she took the tools home and started making hairpins.
As a result, just like the bracelet she made for Ningjing last time, the finished product looked natural and rustic, clumsy and not dexterous at all.
Su Liang carved the little flowers on the hairpin again, feeling that compared to Ning Jing's craftsmanship, it was only ten years short of Su Dakuan's...
There was nothing that could be painted at home, so Su Dakuan said that he had to go to the county town to buy some. Su Liang put it aside for now and planned to go to the city later.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and news spread that Wu Zhuangyuan had returned to the village.
On this day, the magistrate of Bei'an County made a special trip to visit Su Liang. It happened that she was not at home and was picking mushrooms in the forest with Aunt Bai.
The county magistrate waited for a long time before Su Liang came back. He was very respectful and brought many gifts to her.
Su Liang politely entertained the county magistrate for tea. After all, he hoped that the gentleman would take care of his relatives and friends in the village so that he could save his face. However, he only received two boxes of snacks as gifts, and the valuable ones were taken away.
After seeing off the county magistrate, Su Liang spread the collected mushrooms on a large sieve borrowed from the Bai family and placed them on a stone table in the courtyard to dry.
When the sun goes down, you take it back into your room and take it out again the next day when the sun comes up.
After three days of drying, I harvested a small basket of dried wild mushrooms.
Counting the time, Tingjing is almost here in the capital.
…
Since that day when he was knocked out by Xing Yusheng and Qi Yan while swimming, Qi Jun never swam in the lake again.
Even on the day when Lin Bojun and Qin Yujin got married, he just went over to give gifts and left. He didn't even attend the wedding banquet for fear of being discovered.
Knowing that Su Liang was going back to Sujiacun to live for a while, Qi Jun counted the time. When Su Liang and Ning Jing returned to Beijing, he would have to finish this mission at least by the end of May or the beginning of June.
That night, Qi Jun was lying on a peaceful bed and just closed his eyes when he suddenly heard a slight noise on the roof.
He suddenly opened his eyes, his expression condensed, and he sat up, thinking to himself, after these days, has trouble finally come?
The masked assassin broke through the window and Qi Jun drew his sword to greet him.
A moment later, the vase placed on the windowsill by Ningjing smashed to the ground and broke.
The person coming was very skilled in martial arts. Qi Jun knew he was outmatched and planned to find an opportunity to escape. He couldn't be killed, and he couldn't be found out to be fake. That would be terrible.
He just tried to pull away several times but failed, and there were two wounds on his body. Qi Jun was thinking that he would let down Su Liang and Ning Jing's expectations. When he was explaining this tonight, the assassin suddenly stiffened and knelt on the ground!
Qi Jun was a little dumbfounded. The next moment he saw another person come in and pull out a knife from the assassin's back.
Judging from the body shape, he looks very familiar.
"Master Ning?" Qi Jun looked happy.
Ning Jing's current appearance was that of Qi Jun, "Thank you for your hard work." After saying this, he leaned over and pulled off the black cloth on the assassin's face, and saw a scar on his cheek.
"Fortunately, Mr. Ning is back, otherwise I wouldn't be able to see the sun tomorrow." Qi Jun breathed a sigh of relief, "I don't know who sent this person."
The assassin was not dead yet, looking at them in disbelief, "You are... bullying me!"
"He belongs to the Sixth Prince." Ning Jing stepped on the assassin's head on the ground.
The assassin's eyes suddenly widened, his expression obviously flustered, "I...I'm not!"
This man had fought against Ningjing before, and the injuries on his face were due to Ningjing, but he didn't know it himself.
"Qi Jun."
When Ning Jing called him, Qi Jun's expression became serious, "What are your orders, Mr. Ning?"
"Su Liang wrote me a letter and sent you to send it back. You set out from Bei'an County six days ago and traveled day and night. You arrived tonight. After handing the letter to me, you returned to Zhongxinhou Mansion." Ning Jing said calmly.
Qi Jun was stunned, and it took him a while to realize that Ning Jing asked him to leave.
Su Liang left behind some wound medicine. Qi Jun took care of his wounds, washed off his disguise, changed into clean clothes, and packed his things.
"Mr. Ning, shall I leave then?" Qi Jun stood outside the door with a bag on his back.
"Well, I'll give you the thank you gift another day." Ning Jing's voice came from the room.
Qi Jun smiled and said, "You're welcome, Mr. Ning, take care."
After walking out of the courtyard, Qi Jun came back and said with a smile, "Young Master Ning probably doesn't know yet. Mr. Qin has chosen an auspicious day for you and Miss Su, which is the sixth day of June. When Miss Su comes back in a few days, you can
We got married! Earlier than my master and his wife!"
Hearing this, Ning Jing stabbed the assassin on the ground expressionlessly and replied to Qi Jun with one word, "Okay."
