After taking Gu Ling's bedding back from the warehouse and laying it out, Su Liang was about to go back to the room, "Master, go to bed early."
Gu Ling said, "Stop."
Su Liang turned around in response, "Does the great master have any other instructions?"
"I owe you a few days' story." Gu Ling said.
Su Liang slapped her forehead and said, "I forgot about it."
"Let's go." Gu Ling said.
"Where to go?" Su Liang asked.
"Garden." Gu Ling finished speaking and had already walked to the door. "Come back and sleep after finishing speaking."
The bright moonlight streamed into the room, and Su Liang was not sleepy at the moment, so she readily agreed.
The two of them walked together under the moonlight. Su Liang then told Gu Ling an unfinished story. When he got to the exciting part, he became interested and invited Gu Ling to compete in martial arts together like the people in the book.
So the two had a fight imitating the moves of the two heroes in the book.
After it was over, Su Liang praised Gu Ling for her similar skills, "We can join the theater troupe and become martial arts practitioners."
After walking around the lake, Su Liang talked about the time when Wu Song Road met Sun Erniang, the dominatrix.
Gu Ling asked, "What does human flesh taste like?"
Su Liang chuckled, "Of course it tastes like human flesh."
Gu Ling pushed Su Liang expressionlessly, and she almost fell into the lake, but was pulled back by Gu Ling...
Su Liang:......
"I've never eaten human flesh, how do I know what it tastes like? Master, are you thinking..." Su Liang asked.
Gu Ling shook his head, "It's okay. Go on."
While telling stories, Su Liang walked around the lake. After three laps, Su Liang yawned.
When she finished speaking another paragraph, Gu Ling said, "That's it for today."
…
Early the next morning, Su Liang got up and went to practice. When she returned to the yard, Gu Ling had already boiled hot water. He lit the fire while she made breakfast. She immediately felt that her life was back on track.
Originally, Lin Xueqing was going to come over early to cook for Su Liang, but she was too tired and got up late last night, and was persuaded by Xing Yusheng that Su Liang would take care of herself. They went too often, which made Su Liang uncomfortable.
"Qing'er, Su Liang won't be polite to us. She's not a child. She wanted to eat the food you cooked, so she came here on her own. Now she's so close." Xing Yusheng said.
Lin Xueqing thought about it and thought it made sense, "Then I won't go today, I'll just wait and see if Sister Su comes to see me!"
After a while, Qi Jun went back to the Zhongxin Hou Mansion to get some things, and came back to tell Xing Yusheng and Lin Xueqing that Su Liang went to the Hou Mansion to visit Mrs. Xing and asked for some fresh lotus roots.
Lin Xueqing was "sad", "Sister Su really doesn't need me!"
Xing Yusheng hurriedly went to coax his little wife, but couldn't help but laugh. He kept saying that he needed Lin Xueqing the most, and let Su Liang play by herself. He would ignore her from now on, but she was screwed by Lin Xueqing.
A meal.
…
Su Liang didn't have much interest in Sydney lotus root pulp at first, but since we talked about it last night, it was natural for her to do it.
According to her own understanding, she got a small stone mill, put the cleaned snow pear pieces and lotus root pieces together and ground them into a pulp, then put them in a pot and simmered them over low heat, stirring constantly.
The kitchen was filled with heat and a sweet aroma filled the air. Su Liang waved his hand to dissipate the heat. His blurry vision became clear. He saw the thick paste in the pot and quickly heated water inside. As a result, the paste agglomerated and separated. See
It failed even more.
After Su Liang cleaned the pot, he turned around and saw that Gu Ling, who was sitting next to the small stone mill, had cut a new piece of snow pear and lotus root.
"When your mother made it, what was the ratio of these two ingredients?" Su Liang asked Gu Ling.
Gu Ling shook his head, "I don't know."
Su Liang complained, "You just know how to eat."
Gu Ling used a fruit fork to pick up a piece of snow pear, put it into his mouth, and expressed with practical actions: He will eat it! How about it?
Su Liang: ...Of course there is nothing she can do. She promised to do it, so she can only continue to try.
"If you fail again this time, it will be because you stole a piece of pear, great master." Su Liang said seriously.
Then, Gu Ling ate another piece of raw lotus root and said, "It's ready."
Su Liang:...I have nothing to say.
Su Liang asked Gu Ling to press pulp with a stone mill. Gu Ling did not refuse, and his movements were elegant and even in speed.
"It seems that you like stone grinding very much, Master. I will teach you how to make soy milk later, and we can also make tofu and tofu skin ourselves." Su Liang said.
The last time it failed was because no water was added. This time Su Liang added an appropriate amount of water to the ground Sydney pear and lotus root pulp, stirred evenly, and then started cooking.
A faint sweet aroma spreads, which is quite successful.
Su Liang hadn't eaten it either, so she took out two bowls, one for Gu Ling and one for herself.
There is no additional sugar added, and the sweetness of the pear itself is just right.
"Does it look like your mother?" Su Liang asked Gu Ling.
Gu Ling shook her head slightly, "My mother made it very sweet."
"Then I'll add some more sugar to you? It would also be delicious with honey." Su Liang put down the bowl and went to make a sweet version for Gu Ling.
Gu Ling shook his head, "I liked sweet things when I was a kid, and now this is just right."
"Actually, as for lotus root, I like hot and sour lotus root the most." Su Liang said smoothly.
Gu Ling nodded, "Okay, I'll eat it tonight. Soy milk, tofu, and tofu skin for tomorrow. I can grind the beans."
Su Liang held his head, and should be careful when talking about new dishes in the future, and make them for someone to eat, as if you owe him...
In the afternoon, Su Liang went to Gao's house with gifts to visit Gao Jiabao.
There is no need to go out of your way to buy them. There are a lot of expensive tea leaves, fine clothing materials and various antiques and treasures in the Su Mansion's warehouse, some of which were sent by the Ning family and the Yan family.
Su Liang brought two kinds of tea and two pieces of brocade. Hearing that Gao's father liked to play chess, he gave him a pair of jade chess pieces and also specially selected a knife for Gao Jiabao.
Because Gao Jiabao turned the corner, the Gao family were very happy to see Su Liang, but they felt that she was too unobtrusive for bringing so many gifts.
Su Liang just smiled and said, "These are all my family's things. I hope my uncle and aunt will give them some face to accept them. After all, I am also the head of one of the four major merchants in Qian Country, and I am not someone who is short of money."
Gao's father and mother were all amused by Su Liang. After thanking her for the gift, they quickly invited her to go to Gao Jiabao's place.
"If our baby could marry such a lovely wife, I would laugh out loud in my dreams." Gao's mother sighed.
Father Gao shook his head, "Bao'er is not good enough for me." According to the traditional concept, getting married requires a strong man and a weak woman.
Gao Mu sighed, "I know. I don't know how good a man is to be worthy of General Su."
"What a pity Mr. Ning, such a good man... Oh, God is so jealous of talented people!" Father Gao sighed with emotion.
Gao Jiabao got out of bed today. It was warm in the afternoon, so he lay down in the garden to bask in the sun.
After hearing the report from my servant that Su Liang was here, I heard her voice before I even got up, "Your house is nice."
Gao Jiabao gave a pale smile and refused to be polite to Su Liang. He simply lay still and waited for her to come over. The servants moved a chair, and Su Liang sat down next to him. Not far in front of him was the blue wave.
The area of Yingying Lake is much smaller than that of Su Mansion, but it is also quite natural and elegant.
"Are there any fish in the lake?" Su Liang asked.
Gao Jiabao nodded, "The fish raised by grandpa are very fat."
"Can it be eaten?" Su Liang asked.
Gao Jiabao couldn't help but laugh, "Don't think so, it's my grandpa's treasure."
"I'm just asking, I have some at home and I can eat them," Su Liang said calmly.
The sun shone on his face, Gao Jiabao squinted his eyes, and the smile on his lips never fell, "Actually, this disaster is not all bad for me. At least it made me know how naive I was before and how good at martial arts I was. It’s no better than knowing medical skills.”
"That's true. Martial arts can kill people, but they can't save people. Killing is not a great skill. Everyone can do it, but not everyone can save people." Su Liang said.
Gao Jiabao nodded, "Yeah. After going through hell, I suddenly realized something. Maybe I have been wrong all along. I don't want to learn medicine, but I always want to learn martial arts to prove that I am a man and no worse than those who laugh at me. .But as you said, respect is not to be obtained with fists, but can also be obtained in other more meaningful ways. Previously, I always wanted to prove myself to outsiders, but fell into a misunderstanding. If the country needs it, I am still willing to charge into battle. , I will not shrink back. But there is no war now, and I should not expect the flames of war to burn, but to do something truly meaningful."
Su Liang gave a thumbs up, "That's right. You already have martial arts skills, and the second place in the martial arts examination has already proved it. If you know more about medical skills, you are expected to become the best general in medical skills and the best martial arts in the Qianguo Army. Imperial physician."
Gao Jiabao said in a faint tone, "As long as you are here, I can only be second to both."
"I will resign from all my posts." Su Liang said with a smile.
Gao Jiabao shook his head, "It's just a joke."
"Me too." Su Liang nodded.
Gao Jiabao asked about Qiu Ming's death and the person behind it.
"You just need to know that I won't let go of anyone who poisons someone." Su Liang didn't say it clearly. It's best not to tell secrets, so as not to cause trouble. Gao Jiabao has suffered an unreasonable disaster this time. , it will not do him any good to let him know too much.
Gao Jiabao guessed that the matter must be very difficult, and Su Liang didn't want to involve him. Thinking of his family, he stopped asking questions.
The two chatted for a while, and Su Liang stood up to leave. Gao Jiabao said that if he had any medical problems in the future, he hoped that Su Liang would not hesitate to teach him. Su Liang happily agreed.
Dr. Gao insisted on sending Su Liang out. Halfway through, he said sincerely, "I almost lost my life, but Jiabao is now much more cheerful. It can be considered a blessing in disguise. I must thank you. You may not know that you have a great influence on Jiabao." , he has changed a lot since he met you in Wuju. He has a stronger personality. He used to be unwilling to talk about his worries. Now he is much better, and he understands our painstaking efforts and no longer insists on his own way."
"There is no need to thank me, Mr. Gao. He has grown up on his own, and it is inseparable from your selfless care for him. I envy the harmonious atmosphere in your family." Su Liang's eyes were sincere.
Dr. Gao then laughed cheerfully, "Then do you want to be part of my family?"
Su Liang coughed lightly, "I feel quite comfortable living alone."
Dr. Gao smiled and changed the subject to Wan Shan's condition.
Su Liang just listened and said nothing. She would definitely not be able to treat Wan Shan unless she tortured him in the name of healing. But there was no need now, he was not worth Su Liang's waste of time.
After leaving the Gao family, Su Liang rode home alone.
Halfway through, I met someone from the palace. Duanmu Yi wanted to see her.
Su Liang turned the horse's head directly and headed towards the palace.
…
After Duanmu Yi asked about the process of detoxifying Gao Jiabao, he had no doubts about Su Liang's statement that she made the antidote by mistake.
Su Liang didn't want to flatter herself, but the inside story should not be known to anyone. If she mentioned to Duanmu Yi that there was an expert beside her, and that the expert knew a master of poison... it would only make things more confusing.
Then Su Liang took the initiative to resign from her position in the army because she wanted to focus on her medical skills and did not have enough energy.
"Have you thought about this?" Duanmu Yi asked.
Su Liang replied respectfully, "Yes, I have thought about it carefully and hope that the emperor will approve it."
"That's fine. But if you have any ideas about training troops for war, you must share them with General Lin. I heard that you two are brothers and sisters," Duanmu Yi said.
Su Liang nodded, "I obey the order."
"What do you think of the prince? Don't worry about anything. Tell me what you really think. No matter what you say, I won't blame you." Duanmu Yi smiled.
Su Liang was stunned for a moment, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince... Wei Chen thinks he is a very smart person who knows what he wants and has both political integrity and talent."
Although the word "smart" is simple, it is difficult to actually achieve it. Duanmu Sheng and Duanmu Ao are both stupid in Duanmu Yi's eyes. If they cannot control their own desires, it is difficult to achieve great things. In comparison, Duanmu Yi feels that
Duanmu Chen is most like him.
Duanmu Yi chuckled, "I didn't expect you to have such a high opinion of the prince. Since you appreciate the prince so much, how about you become the crown prince of Qian Kingdom?"
Su Liang was a little confused. She didn't expect that Duanmu Yi would suddenly have such an idea. Although it sounded like Duanmu Yi was half-joking, as a minister, you must never take any of the monarch's words as a joke.
Su Liang narrowed her eyes and said, "Wei Chen is from a humble background and is not worthy of His Highness the Crown Prince."
Duanmu Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, "Are you not worthy of me, or do you just look down on me?"
Su Liang had never thought of this kind of thing, but when it actually happened, it still made her a little annoyed, but she didn't dare to show it, so she just said in a deep voice, "If you go back to the emperor, Ning Jing's body is still cold, and Wei Chen doesn't want to think about getting married for the time being.
.”
"You can't forget Ning Jing?" Duanmu Yi frowned.
Su Liang sighed deeply, "Yes. I don't dare to deceive the emperor."
Duanmu Yi hummed, "That's all. You can think about this carefully when you go back. If you are interested in the position of Crown Princess, I am still willing to give you a chance. Please step down."
Su Liang thanked her and resigned, walked out of the imperial study, and silently kicked away a stone...
…
That night, after a long time, Su Liang secretly met Duanmu Chen again.
Duanmu Chen was a little surprised, "Why are you here? Is there something wrong?"
Su Liang looked calm, "You don't know?"
Duanmuchen frowned, "What should I know?"
"I entered the palace today and the emperor said he wanted me to be the crown prince. What do you think?" Su Liang said in a faint tone.
Duanmu Chen was stunned, and then raised his right hand and swore, "This matter was never my intention, and my father never discussed it with me. To be honest, I hope you can help me secure my position as prince, sit on the throne, and even
To rule the world is not to marry me and give me children. There are plenty of women for me to choose from, but only you can do the former. My brain is not broken."
Su Liang's eyes narrowed slightly, "Okay, I believe you. Now, let's not talk nonsense. You know best whether I have helped you or not. I don't want anyone to interfere with my marriage. The emperor..."
Duanmu Chen nodded, "I will find a way. As long as you don't choose a rebel to be your husband one day in the future, I think our cooperation will be unbreakable."
