Nian Jincheng and Yan Yu, who were sitting opposite each other eating snacks and smiling at each other from time to time, were a little puzzled when they heard footsteps and saw Su Liang coming down alone.
"Have you finished treating Gu Hou so quickly?" Yan Yu thought they were going to talk about something, but as soon as they went up, Su Liang came down.
Su Liang kept smiling, "I haven't given the acupuncture to Gu Hou yet. Gu Hou is the most distinguished guest when he comes here for the first time. I have to prepare some delicious food to entertain him. He has to taste it first before I can give him the acupuncture."
After saying this, Su Liang walked out the door.
Nian Jincheng and Yan Yu looked at each other, and Yan Yu couldn't help laughing, "Xiao Liang said it through gritted teeth. It must have been the request from the guy upstairs."
Nian Jincheng was not surprised at all, "They are happy to play, so don't worry about it. Who should I ask to be the matchmaker to propose marriage?"
Yan Yu's face turned slightly red, "There's no need to be so anxious. It'll take a few days."
Nian Jincheng said seriously, "No, I have this kind of temperament that won't change once I know it for sure. I'm not afraid of outsiders thinking too much. I can feel at ease by setting the wedding date as soon as possible."
Yan Yu nodded lightly, "Well, then I'll wait."
Nian Jincheng sighed again and complained about his "good brother", "Xiaoyu, you don't even know what kind of life I lived in Changxinhou Mansion. It was almost the same as living in the wilderness. Ah Ling was not like that at all."
Among the people we can live with, only Su Liang can stand him."
Yan Yu expressed that he was very interested and would like to hear the details.
After Nian Jincheng finished detailing the annoying things about Gu Ling, Yan Yu couldn't stop laughing when he heard Gu Ling's faint voice coming from upstairs, "I can hear it. Don't go back today."
Nian Jincheng immediately pointed at the ceiling and complained to Yan Yu, "Did you hear that, Xiaoyu? What kind of good brother? It's all a misunderstanding from outsiders. I'm just waiting to get married as soon as possible, so you can take me in and live a good life."
Yan Yu: ...This person in her family has indeed changed a lot from when we first met him. She watched him come through bit by bit, and she was very pleased. He became cuter and cuter, and he started to act like a spoiled child with her.
The affection here is sweet and sweet, and in the kitchen over there, Su Liang is chopping the fish head. The fish was temporarily brought by Lonicera to the Xingfu kitchen next door, along with some other dishes.
Lonicera helped Su Liang light the fire and couldn't help but ask, "What does the master like about Gu Hou?"
Su Liang hummed, "Besides good-looking, what else does he have?"
After Han Dong hesitated for a moment, he said weakly, "I feel that Gu Hou's temperament is not very good."
Su Liang smiled half-heartedly, "That's right. I always like men who are indifferent to me. What I want is that feeling of conquest."
As soon as she finished speaking, Su Liang raised her knife and saw that a whole fatty fish had been chopped into evenly sized fish pieces. Then she cleaned it, dried it, battered it, and fried it. It was the fried fish piece that someone wanted to eat.
Lonicera: ...Her master is really different. He actually likes and ignores her. It's so weird, but of course he doesn't dare to say it...
If Duanmu Chen were here and heard Su Liang's original words, he would probably suspect that Gu Ling and "Ning Jing" were the same person. Because Su Liang used the same trick when she said she liked "Ning Jing" but was rejected.
Rhetoric.
But it was okay to say this to Liao Dong, because she had never seen "Ningjing" at all, let alone the way they got along, and she would not take the initiative to tell others about Su Liang.
Since returning to Beijing this time, Su Liang has cooked only a handful of times. Today, she set up the frying pan and cooked everything she could think of. In addition to fried fish cubes, she also fried four kinds of vegetable tempura, including one specially made from
Pumpkins brought back from Sujia Village’s backyard.
The honeysuckle smelled good, and Su Liang asked her to help her taste it.
Lonicera tasted a small piece of it and praised it repeatedly, saying that Su Liang's cooking skills were the best in the world.
Su Liang asked, "Why am I not number one in the world?"
Lonicera nodded immediately, "My master is the best in the world in every aspect!"
Su Liang took out a few pieces of each, put them on a plate, and handed them to Lonicera.
Rendong caught it, "Shall I send it to Marquis Changxin?"
Su Liang shook his head, "This is for you to eat." Then he divided the rest into two halves, giving half to Nian Jincheng and Yan Yu, and half to Gu Ling.
Su Liang walked into Yuanming Pavilion with four plates of fried food on a tray. Nian Jincheng immediately stood up and said, "You are so polite. Nian came to disturb me and bothered Miss Su to prepare food."
He said he was coming to pick him up.
Gu Ling's voice came from upstairs, "Nian Jincheng, can you try it?"
Nian Jincheng didn't stop and continued to pick it up, but was pulled back by Yan Yu who couldn't stop laughing, "That's what Su Liang gave to Gu Meiren. You're not as beautiful as others, so don't make a fuss."
As soon as Su Liang walked up the stairs, Lonicera came in with the remaining half and placed it in front of Nian Jincheng and Yan Yu.
"And ours?" Yan Yu expressed some surprise, "It smells so good!"
Nian Jincheng picked up a piece of fried fish and put it into his mouth. He nodded and said, "I ate it before Ah Ling." As soon as he finished speaking, he was pricked by a fish bone...
…
Su Liang placed the steaming fried food on the table and kept smiling, "Gu Beauty, please be sure to appreciate this little woman's craftsmanship."
Gu Ling, who was lying down and dozing, got up and sat down at the table. After wiping his hands with a handkerchief, he picked up the chopsticks, originally reaching for the fried fish pieces, and finally picked up a piece of pumpkin tempura, "This is
Pumpkins in our backyard?”
Seeing that Gu Ling stopped acting, Su Liang sat down opposite, reached for a piece of pumpkin and ate it, nodded and said, "Yes, our old pumpkin is so delicious!" She didn't even taste it when she made it, it was sweet and soft.
Glutinous, very delicious.
Gu Ling finished one piece and nodded slightly, "Indeed, it is the most delicious. Let's make it next time."
Su Liang hummed, "Master, now I'm the only one cooking, and you don't wash the dishes. Isn't this inappropriate?"
Gu Ling shook his head, "It's not that I don't want to, it's just that it's inconvenient. I just cooperate with the plan you proposed."
Su Liang:...That's true.
"You can keep the accounts first." Gu Ling looked at Su Liang and said.
Su Liang raised her eyebrows, and then Gu Ling continued, "I owe you a few dishes, I'll make up for it later."
When Su Liang heard this, he laughed and said, "Okay, because your attitude is okay, I will keep the account. But there is nothing you can do to make up for it. You should wash the dishes in the future, so how can you make up for it?"
What about now?"
Gu Ling's hands paused slightly and continued to eat the food seriously, but his heart was not at peace. "He should wash the bowls in the future." From now on, it will be indefinite...
"How do you make up for it?" Gu Ling looked calm.
Su Liang thought for a while and said, "Then, if the ingenious master has to wash the dishes once, he can just make up for me what I made myself. Anything will do, how about that?"
Previously, Su Liang had to "buy" the Chinese knots Gu Ling knitted. After a few times, Su Liang acquiesced that she wanted Gu Ling's handicrafts and had to exchange them.
Gu Ling nodded, picked up his handkerchief, and in the blink of an eye folded it into a little mouse like Su Liang's, and placed it in front of her, "This time the dishes."
Su Liang picked up the remaining half of the fried food and left, "Don't eat it."
Gu Ling opened her thin lips lightly and took his handkerchief back, "I was just joking."
Su Liang returned to the original position and said, "Anyway, you must satisfy me, otherwise it won't count."
"Okay." Gu Ling nodded, "I will cut a pumpkin open today. When will the pumpkin seeds be fried for me?"
Su Liang:......
The young couple downstairs shared the fried food made by Su Liang. Upstairs, Su Liang didn't eat much and most of it was eaten by Gu Ling.
"What should we do next?" Su Liang asked seriously.
Gu Ling put away the plate and took out a box of tea leaves from the cupboard. Without saying anything, Su Liang ordered below, "Lonicera, bring hot water. I want to make tea for Marquis Changxin."
The hot water was ready, and Lonicera brought it to me quickly. Su Liang came out to get it before I even entered the door.
Putting the hot water on the table, Su Liang sat down and said, "You can make it yourself."
Gu Ling began to make tea, his movements were elegant, each finger seemed to be playing the piano, it was really beautiful.
Gu Ling saw Su Liang's admiring eyes and asked, "What are you looking at?"
Su Liang looked regretful, "Master, are you the Tianshan Snow Lotus? You are so beautiful and frozen, can you smile?"
Gu Ling shook his head, "No." If he wanted to laugh, he had to wait until Su Liang used the "laughing card".
"But it's still very beautiful." Su Liang's eyes were magnanimous, showing pure appreciation, "No one is crazy about pursuing the great god, it is simply unreasonable. By the way, Duanmu Chen said that the emperor wants to execute Nian Ruting."
It was a good conversation that Gu Ling liked to hear, but Su Liang started talking about Nian Ruting without any warning.
The aroma of tea lingered, Gu Ling gave Su Liang a cup, picked up a cup himself, took a few sips, and then said again, "It's better to die."
"I thought the emperor would use Nian Ruting to disgust you." Su Liang said thoughtfully.
Gu Ling nodded slightly, "I feel sick."
Then Gu Ling talked about the day Duanmu Yi asked him to enter the palace. Although the two of them tried to spread the news before, they had no chance to say so much. Especially to Gu Ling, this kind of thing was not worth mentioning.
"No wonder." Su Liang nodded, "Nian Ruting is really obsessive. According to what you said, she only saw you a few times, and she was young at the time. How could she become so crazy? I can't understand. But to be honest, overall
To be honest, the emperor is not stupid, and is often reasonable."
Gu Ling's expression was indifferent, "He has a group of masters around him, probably all of them are Master Lonicera and Shaoyao."
Su Liang's eyes narrowed slightly, this was what they should be more concerned about. If Duanmu Yi wanted to touch them, it would be very troublesome.
The current relationship is peaceful, but the balance may be broken when. Although Duanmu Yi secretly showed some intentions towards Su Liang, he was still very restrained and did not do anything excessive. Even if he did not trust Gu Ling, on the surface
The above were just some temptations and did not really embarrass him.
Now Su Liang will no longer talk about looking for opportunities to escape and leave, nor will she say that she needs to be self-reliant without relying on Gu Ling. When considering the problem from a practical point of view, she needs Gu Ling, the two are best partners. But she
I will never slack off and continue to improve my strength.
After drinking tea and exchanging recent news, an hour passed and the sun was about to set.
When Gu Ling and Nian Jincheng left the Su Mansion, Nian Jincheng was still carrying a food box in his hand, which was "kindly given" by Su Liang.
Returning to Changxinhou Mansion, Nian Jincheng asked Gu Ling, "I want to invite someone to come to propose marriage to Miss Yan, but I don't know who to ask."
"Old Duke of Qin." Gu Ling said.
Nian Jincheng was stunned for a moment, "Mr. Qin...will he agree to help?"
"Go and try." Gu Ling said.
Nian Jincheng thought about it, it would be best if he could please Mr. Qin. He was the most virtuous and respected nobleman in the capital, and it would also show how much he valued Yan Yu.
Although Nian Jincheng thought he was not familiar with Mr. Qin, he thought of someone. Lin Bojun, a colleague with whom he had a good relationship, is now Mr. Qin's grandson-in-law.
I didn't see Lin Bojun at the Prince's Mansion banquet today, but he had sent someone over to invite Nian Jincheng to have a drink with him tomorrow.
…
The next day, Nian Jincheng came to Wanjia Restaurant early and waited for a while before Lin Bojun came over.
The two met and exchanged pleasantries. Nian Jincheng congratulated Lin Bojun on becoming a father. Seeing Lin Bojun's happy face, Nian Jincheng wanted to get married as soon as possible.
Tomorrow Nian Jincheng will return to the military camp to serve. Lin Bojun is very happy about this. "General Nian is back. If I ask for leave again in the future, the possibility of the emperor blaming me will be smaller."
Lin Bojun did not inquire into where Nian Jincheng had been or what he had done after missing for several months. As long as the emperor did not suspect it and Nian Jincheng did not tell him, he would not ask.
After drinking a few cups, Nian Jincheng put down his glass and said, "Bo Jun, I have something I want to ask you for help with."
Lin Bojun was a little surprised, "If General Nian has any use for me, just tell me."
Nian Jincheng said that he met a woman he liked yesterday.
Lin Bojun was greatly surprised now, "What a good thing! I wonder which girl it is?"
Nian Jincheng smiled, "You should know Miss Yan, the one who lives in Su Liang's house now."
"Miss Yan Yuyan?" Lin Bojun laughed loudly, "I really didn't expect that I heard Yu Jin and my little sister always talk about Miss Yan. I have also met her. She is a good girl with both talent and appearance. General Nian has the vision.
Very good. But when General Nian asked me for help, did he ask me to be a matchmaker?"
Nian Jincheng coughed slightly, "That's not true. I would like to ask Mr. Qin to be a matchmaker. He has a good relationship with Su Liang. Maybe he can put in a good word for me."
Lin Bojun suddenly understood and nodded repeatedly, "No problem! Leave it to me! I'll tell my wife when I get back, and she will definitely be happy to see it happen!"
Lin Bojun did not grow up in the capital, and he only met Nian Jincheng after he joined the army. However, he has always admired Nian Jincheng's uprightness, and the two have similar temperaments.
Nian Jincheng toasted and thanked him, and Lin Bojun also sighed, saying that he had grown a lot after going through many hardships.
…
Mr. Qin learned that Nian Jincheng asked him to be a matchmaker and that the person he wanted to marry was Su Liang's good friend Yan Yu. He also heard from Lin Xueqing that Yan Yu was also interested in Nian Jincheng, so he agreed without saying a word.
Qin Yuyan, the second son of the Qin family, lamented that all the good girls had fallen in love with others, and that he was destined to be a loner, so he was beaten by Mr. Qin with a cane.
Soon, news spread in the capital: General Nian Jincheng, who had just returned to Beijing, was getting married!
All in all, Nian Jincheng was the most outstanding young talent in the capital of Qian Kingdom before his accident. Many young ladies wanted to marry him, including the Sixth Princess Duanmu Qianqian.
Now that he is suddenly getting married, everyone is naturally interested in his marriage.
The story of Nian Jincheng and Yan Yu has also been talked about and has become a legend: in order to pursue Gu Meiren, Su Zhuangyuan forced himself to change places with General Nian at the Prince's Mansion banquet and wanted to sit next to Gu Meiren.
As a result, General Nian had to sit next to Miss Yan, Su Zhuangyuan's good sister. As a result, the two fell in love at first sight and fell in love again...
After passing the Ming Dynasty, the marriage was officially engaged, and the official position was restored. Now he can do the things he likes. Nian Jincheng walks with wind.
That day, Nian Jincheng accompanied Gu Ling to the Su Mansion to treat a headache. When he walked in, he met Yan Yu who was about to go out.
Gu Ling cupped her hands at Yan Yu and said, "I'll take care of you from now on, this idiot."
Nian Jincheng hummed, he almost hugged the beauty back, but someone was still pulling back and forth with Su Liang. Who was the fool?
Yan Yu looked serious, "I will take good care of him. Can you please ask Gu Hou to be nice to Su Liang?"
Gu Ling nodded, "To thank Imperial Physician Su for treating me, I brought a gift today."
Nian Jincheng and Yan Yu were both curious, but Gu Ling didn't say what he brought.
Soon after, Su Liang received a gift from Gu Ling, which was an iron fan.
Su Liang opened it and said wordlessly, "Give me a fan in the winter. What are you thinking, my dear?" while fanning Gu Ling a few times, "Will you cool down?"
As a result, at the next moment, several rays of silver light shot out from the fan and flew towards Gu Ling's face.
Su Liang was dumbfounded, and Gu Ling turned around and hid behind her.
"Are you okay?" Su Liang turned around and went to check on Gu Ling's condition nervously.
But the two were so close that they bumped into each other and subconsciously reached out to hug each other.
Gu Ling's carefully crafted concealed folding fan was thrown on the ground. Su Liang was about to push Gu Ling away when he heard him say, "I was very frightened."
Su Liang then patted Gu Ling's back gently, "I'm sorry! It's all your fault for not making it clear!" After saying that, he pushed Gu Ling away, turned around and picked up the fan, unable to put it down, "Master, you actually
Can you make hidden weapons? Why didn't you tell me earlier? Ten more!"
