Me Too

The imperial court appointed the new Jinshi.

Su Liang and Ning Jing received the notice and went to the palace together to receive orders and thank them.

There was a fat vacancy in the Ministry of Household Affairs, and many people were initially looking at it, but in the end it was given to Wen Zhuangyuan.

As Duanmu Chen said, Su Liang not only joined the Ministry of War and served under Lin Bojun, but also served as an imperial physician and received two salaries.

It is also unique in the history of Qian Country.

Although the injured Gao Jiabao also joined the Ministry of War, he was an idle civilian, which did not meet his expectations. But we can only wait until the body recovers first.

Luo Rong, who was rescued by Ning Jing and Su Liang but didn't know it, had good luck in the martial arts examination. He finally ranked high and became a military attaché as he wished.

After coming out of the palace, Gao Jiabao invited Su Liang and Ning Jing to his home.

Su Liang said that he had an appointment today and would visit another day, and then went to Lin's house with Ning Jing.

A few months after Lin Shuzhi came to Beijing, the marriages of his two sons and one daughter were settled. He was in high spirits during happy events, and seemed to be in high spirits and getting younger.

Although Lin Boyan's marriage was finalized, because he was the eldest, after discussing with his in-laws, it was finally decided that Lin Boyan should get married first, and the wedding date would be next month.

The Min family is very fond of Lin Boyan as their son-in-law and has no objection to this.

Lin Shuzhi was busy preparing the betrothal gift for Lin Boyan.

The Lin House in the capital was originally bought for the brothers Lin Boyan and Lin Bojun. Now it is just right for the whole family, but both brothers have to marry wives, and the ones they marry are ladies from well-known families, so there must be many servants as dowries. , I can no longer live in my home.

Su Liang learned that Lin Shuzhi was looking for a new house and said that she could ask Wanhui to help keep an eye on it. Wanjia's businessmen are well-connected and well-informed.

Lin Shuzhi said with a smile, "I have asked Zheng'er's parents to help with the search."

Previously, Lin Shuzhi proposed to enlighten Zheng'er. Zheng'er served tea and became a disciple. Wanhui was very concerned about the Lin family's affairs. Before Lin Shuzhi mentioned it, she thought of it first. She originally said that she would give two houses to Lin Boyan and Lin Bojun. Brother, the Wan family is not short of money, but Lin Shuzhi refused to accept it and only asked her to help find a suitable house.

"Congratulations, Master. Then when the eldest brother and the second brother and Xue Qing get married, Master will live with the eldest brother?" Su Liang asked.

Lin Shuzhi had long said that when his two sons got married, they would immediately separate their families and let the young men go their separate ways.

"I won't follow anyone." Lin Shuzhi smiled and shook his head, "The Imperial College has asked me to teach three times. I didn't let go at first, but now that their marriage has been decided, I will teach after all the arrangements for them. . When you all have children, I will take care of them and teach them how to read.”

Su Liang and Ning Jing looked at each other, she coughed twice and said, "Then I wish the master will have a grandson soon." Don't expect her and Ning Jing to do this kind of thing.

Within a few months, life-long events were decided for the friends.

Everyone else is real, but she and Ning Jing are fake.

Su Liang and Ning Jing stayed for a meal before leaving. Lin Xueqing invited Su Liang to go to Huguo Temple together tomorrow, saying that there were also Qin Yujin and the Min family sisters.

Su Liang and Ning Jing only officially "joined the job" three days later and agreed.

…

The two of them were riding home from the Lin Mansion. When they entered the alley, they saw a carriage parked outside the gate.

As he rode closer, Su Liang felt that the person sitting in the driver's seat seemed familiar.

The car curtain opened, and a girl of sixteen or seventeen years old looked towards Su Liang.

She has fair skin, good facial features, and a dark mole at the end of her right eyebrow.

Calm eyes fell on Su Liang's face, and the joy of meeting again after a long separation spread, "Su Liang!"

Su Liang had known that Yan Yu would come, but because of delays, she kept pushing back her arrival in Beijing. I was still surprised to see her appear today. As soon as he got off his horse, Yan Yu quickly ran over and hugged her tightly, "I miss you so much!"

Su Liang patted Yan Yu's back and said with a smile, "Me too."

This was the young lady in distress that Ning Jing and Su Liang rescued back then, and she was also the first friend Su Liang made in the world besides Ning Jing.

In fact, it had only been half a year since they met, but when they met again, there was no sense of unfamiliarity.

The driver was Zhou Yuan, the steward who had gone to Sujiacun to deliver letters to Yan Yu. He was a strong-backed man with a beard. When Ning Jing looked over, he nodded.

Su Liang let go of Yan Yu and looked at her. She was a little thinner, but she was in good spirits. The naive innocence between her eyebrows had disappeared, and she was much calmer and more mature.

"Let's talk after we go in." Su Liang handed the reins of the horse to Ning Jing, and she pulled Yan Yu inside.

Yan Yu asked Zhou Yuan to put the things in the car and then let him drive away.

Yan Yu briefly greeted Ning Jing and then entered Su Liang's room. The two closed the door and talked.

Ning Jing returned to her room and entered the inner room to see Nian Jincheng. He was eating biscuits...

Because Su Liang and Ning Jing went to Lin's house for dinner on a temporary basis, they forgot about Nian Jincheng again.

"Are there any guests?" Nian Jincheng asked.

Ning Jing nodded, walked over and took the biscuits away, preventing him from eating them.

Nian Jincheng: ...life is so difficult...

"Nian Ruxue has not yet been found. The Nian family has been sentenced to exile and will leave Beijing in three days." Ning Jing said.

When Nian Jincheng learned about the current situation of the Nian family again, he looked calm and said, "It has nothing to do with me."

Not to mention that he can't protect himself now, even if he is fine, he doesn't want to have anything to do with that family anymore.

"You're almost recovered." Ning Jing said.

Nian Jincheng was stunned for a moment, "Are you driving me away?"

Thanks to Su Liang's treatment, his body was indeed fine and he no longer needed to lie down to rest. He was originally reading.

Ning Jing nodded, "You stay in the capital and you won't see the light of day."

"You are also..." Nian Jincheng whispered.

But he knew that he could not compare with Ning Jing. Even if he changed his identity and disguised himself, it would be difficult to achieve perfect disguise.

"Yan Yu is here." Ning Jing said.

Nian Jincheng was stunned, "Who?"

After asking, he remembered that Ning Jing had mentioned this name once. He said that he was Su Liang's good friend, the head of the Yan family, a silk merchant.

"Are you really going to entrust me to the head of the Yan family?" Nian Jincheng frowned and asked.

Ning Jing nodded.

"I am a big trouble. What if I bring disaster to others?" Nian Jincheng felt unsafe.

Ning Jing asked back, "If you can't even avoid this, you might as well not live."

Nian Jincheng: ...

"I really don't know how to do business." Nian Jincheng sighed.

"If you don't know how to do business, you can learn. We don't need you to be a secret guard. You can be a guard for Yan Yu. She has money and can support you." Ning Jing said.

Nian Jincheng held his forehead, "Is this temporary or long-term?"

He planned to listen to Ning Jing and Su Liang's arrangement, but to be honest, he didn't like this arrangement very much. It was awkward to be a guard for a strange girl.

Ning Jing shook his head, "Let's talk about it later."

It depends on the situation.

Nian Jincheng sighed, "Forget it. Now I don't have any other thoughts, let's take it one step at a time. If you insist, I accept it."

...

In the next room, Yan Yu told Su Liang about her experiences in the past few months, and she said all good things.

But Su Liang knew that there must be many difficulties that were not spoken of.

"I was surprised to learn that your marriage was a fake one. But when I think about it, you two didn't look like a real couple at that time." Yan Yu said with a smile, "But I always thought you two were a good match. Are you really going to get married this time?"

Su Liang said calmly, "It depends on my mood."

Yan Yu was stunned for a moment, then laughed again, "I understand."

She heard that the fifth prince wanted to marry Su Liang, and even became crazy because of it. She thought that Su Liang and Ning Jing's engagement this time was probably to prevent peach blossoms.

Yan Yu came to the capital this time to see Su Liang first, and to handle some business by the way. She would not leave for a while.

She brought many gifts, all of which were valuable. Most of them were given to Su Liang, and a few were given to Ning Jing.

"With you, I have beautiful clothes to wear every day." Su Liang joked, "It's really enviable."

"What's this? Mine is yours. It doesn't matter if you wear one or throw one away." Yan Yu looked serious.

Su Liang said that waste is wrong, and the two smiled at each other.

Yan Yu mentioned the Li family again, saying that with the three families of Wanning and Yan joining forces, the Li family, which already had many problems within the family, was already in a state of panic and could not protect its family business.

Li San had previously hired people to kill Lu Yu and capture Zheng'er, and also intended to threaten Su Liang, but failed.

Su Liang left Yan Yu for dinner, and seeing Yan Yu frowning, she asked her if she had something to do.

"Can I only stay for dinner? I've let Uncle Zhou go, and I plan to live with you." Yan Yu sighed, "If you don't welcome it, forget it."

Su Liang blinked, "Oh, then you can leave now."

Yan Yu hugged Su Liang, "I won't leave! Long time no see, I want to stay and sleep with you! I want to talk to you all night long!"

Su Liang shook his head, "What can't be said during the day? Staying up late will make you ugly."

"Ugly, I'm not planning to get married." Yan Yu smiled and let go of Su Liang.

Su Liang thought of someone, "Your brother Yanwen, I thought you two..."

Yan Yu looked surprised, then hurriedly shook his head, "We are just siblings, Brother Wen already has a girl he likes, and they will get married in two months."

"I see." Su Liang thought this was good, he was worried that there would be a man who would deceive Yan Yu's feelings and plot against the Yan family's property, Yan Wen was also a possibility.

"Xiaoyue is very smart and learns things quickly. I wanted to bring her to Beijing this time, but she wanted to stay and look after the family, so she asked me to tell you that I will definitely repay your kindness in the future." Yan Yu said.

Su Liang nodded, "She lives a good life, which is the best reward for me. The same goes for you."

Yan Yu leaned her head on Su Liang's shoulder, "I wanted to give it to you after I sorted out the Yan family's business, but now I think you don't like it and I don't have time to worry about it. I won't mention any words of repayment. We will be sisters for life in the future. It's useless for you to refuse."

"Who said I would refuse?" Su Liang's lips curled slightly, "I am happy to have new clothes to wear."

Yan Yu knew that Su Liang was joking and couldn't help laughing, "Don't worry, sister will prepare new clothes for you for the rest of her life."

Su Liang and Yan Yu cooked together for dinner and cooked several dishes.

When it was time to eat, Yan Yu realized that there were other people in the house besides Su Liang and Ning Jing.

"This is..." Yan Yu didn't know Nian Jincheng.

"Wanted fugitive, Nian Jincheng." Su Liang said directly.

Yan Yu's eyes widened, "Why is he..."

She had heard of the name Nian Jincheng, but she never expected that the wanted criminal in the country was hiding in the capital and in Su Liang's house.

"He is my friend." Su Liang said.

Yan Yu calmed down, "I see."

"Master Yan." Nian Jincheng bowed his hands.

Yan Yu nodded, "General Nian... Young Master Nian. Just call me by my name."

"You can call me by my name too." Nian Jincheng said.

"Okay. Nice to meet you." Yan Yu was very polite.

Nian Jincheng nodded, "Nice to meet you."

Ning Jing and Su Liang, who had already sat down and picked up their chopsticks, said in unison, "Let's eat."

Nian Jincheng and Yan Yu sat down, feeling a little reserved for a moment. They were strangers to each other who had just met.

"Yan Yu, is there anyone causing trouble for you?" Su Liang asked.

Yan Yu smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll be careful."

Of course there are, and there are quite a few of them. After all, she is the only woman in charge of such a large family business. People who are close or related to her want a piece of the pie, and some even want to grab it directly. There were several men who showed favor to her, wanted to marry her, or even wanted to marry her, but she never considered them at all.

"Do you need protection?" Su Liang asked.

Nian Jincheng held the chopsticks for a moment, feeling like he was being betrayed...

Yan Yu asked with a smile, "Do you know any masters who are looking for something to do? Would you like to introduce them to me? Of course that's fine. I can rest assured about the person you are looking for. The commission is guaranteed to be generous."

Su Liang glanced at Nian Jincheng and asked, "What do you think of him?"

Yan Yu looked at Nian Jincheng and was stunned, "Huh? You mean, let him give it to me..."

Nian Jincheng lowered his head to eat in silence, leaving no room for him to speak.

"I will disguise him so that no one will discover his true identity." Su Liang said, "He can't stay in the capital, and he won't be safe if he is handed over to others."

Hearing this, Yan Yu's expression straightened, "It's not that I don't want to, I just think that since he is a general, being my guard is too unworthy. If you just want to arrange a place for him to go, leave it to me to ensure his safety." "

Su Liang shook his head, "He wants to find something to do. He is young and doesn't want to live in seclusion."

Nian Jincheng is not the type of Ningjing who enjoys solitude and can live well alone. He longs for friends and a family.

"In that case, I'll listen to you." Yan Yu said that Su Liang could do whatever he wanted to her.

"Then it's settled for now." Su Liang smiled, "Xiaonian, what do you think?"

Nian Jincheng, who is several years older than Su Liang, has an inexplicable feeling at this moment that Su Liang is his mother and Ningjing is his father. His parents want to entrust the unfilial son who got into trouble to a reliable relative...

"I have no objection." Nian Jincheng said.

Of course he believed that any arrangement between Ning Jing and Su Liang was for his own good.

Although he complained that these two people disliked him, it was just a joke.

The crux of the problem is that Nian Jincheng himself has no idea. The only thing he thought of was to serve as secret guards for Ning Jing and Su Liang, but they really didn't need it, so he had no other ideas for the future.

Now I feel that it is good that someone is willing to plan for him and arrange things clearly for him.

After the meal, Ningjing packed up the dishes and went to the kitchen. Su Liang followed him out, "You two have a chat. We are all my friends, which means you are also friends. Let's get to know each other."

Hearing the sound of the door closing, Yan Yu felt strange, but he couldn't tell what was strange.

Nian Jincheng feels the same way.

The two looked at each other, and Nian Jincheng said, "I don't know if you have heard of me. Although I have a high background, I am just a fugitive now. My whole family has been exiled and I have nothing."

Yan Yu asked out his doubts, "Have you never thought about saving your family?"

Nian Jincheng shook his head, "I was just born in the Nian family, but no one in the Nian family cares about me. I treat them as dead and have nothing to do with them. What about you?"

Yan Yu sighed softly, "I used to have a brother, but he is really dead, so let's not mention it. Now my only relative is Su Liang."

Nian Jin originally wanted to say that his only relatives were Ning Jing and Su Liang, but he didn't want to reveal Ning Jing's identity, so he changed his words and said, "Me too."

"How did you and Su Liang meet?" Yan Yu expressed curiosity.

Nian Jincheng replied, "She saved my life."

Yan Yu then smiled, "Me too."

Nian Jincheng handed over his hand and said, "Please take good care of me in the future."

Yan Yu said seriously, "To each other."

…

In the kitchen, Su Liang asked Ning Jing, "Master, do you want to marry your brother to Yan Yu?"

Ning Jing nodded slightly and admitted directly.

On the surface, Nian Jincheng appears to be very capable, but to put it mildly, he values ​​love and righteousness. In fact, he lacks love and is easily deceived. He cannot recognize people well and cannot make decisions.

Li Yu seems to be just a weak woman, but when faced with a disaster, she still tries her best to find opportunities to save herself, supports a family strongly and independently, is clear about right from wrong, and is decisive in situations.

One is hard on the outside but soft on the inside, the other is soft on the outside and hard on the inside.

Ning Jing felt that since both of them were alone, they could work together.

After hearing Ning Jing's opinion, Su Liang agreed, "But for this kind of thing, it's best to let it take its own course. If there is fate, we will naturally come together. Without fate, there is no use forcing it. We just introduced them to each other, and they are all Adults, you can take care of your own affairs in the future. But I didn’t expect you to do this kind of thing.”

Ning Jing looked calm and said, "We must marry him off."

Su Liang couldn't help laughing, "In that case, if a good girl is found for you, I will marry you. This is a good brother."

Ning Jing's eyes were cold, "Take care of yourself."
