On the day of the funeral, people from both the Wan family and the Yan family came.
The people from the Wan family came from Wan Hui's husband Lu Yu, and Wan Hui's younger brother, Wan Li, the fifth son of the Wan family.
That time Su Liang went to Qingyang City to visit Zheng'er with Gu Ling, who pretended to be Ning Jing, and met Wan Li.
"Miss Su, I'm so sad." Wan Li brought people to deliver the funeral.
Su Liang bowed slightly in return.
She looked at Lu Yu and asked, "Are Sister Wan and Zheng'er okay?"
Lu Yu sighed deeply, "I didn't dare to let Zheng'er know that Brother Ning left. He was just thinking about when he could see you again."
"After a few days." Su Liang said.
The person from the Yan family was none other than Yan Yu's follower Yu Yan, whose real identity was Nian Jincheng.
Yan Yu wanted to see Su Liang, but was persuaded by him.
Nian Jincheng said that Yan Yu had something important to tell him to tell Su Liang, and the two went into the room alone to talk.
"It's not him, right?" Nian Jincheng asked directly.
He was no longer a general, and was thinner than before. The disguised appearance was the one Su Liang had seen before, and the disguised voice was also very skilled.
Except for his height, from head to toe, it was difficult to see the shadow of the serious and old-fashioned Nian Jincheng in the past.
Although he had guessed it long ago, he was relieved until he saw Su Liang nod, "I know, he will be fine."
After that, Nian Jincheng asked about the whole story.
After Su Liang's brief explanation, Nian Jincheng frowned, "I didn't expect Uncle Liang to be unreliable. It's good that way, I can't live with that identity for the rest of my life. What about him? What are your plans for the future?"
"He's here, but I don't know where he is now. Maybe you will see him soon." Su Liang said, "Ask him about the future. How is Yan Yu?"
"She's fine, but she cried when she heard the bad news. She was very worried about you. She wanted to come here in person, but she finally persuaded her not to. She also said that if you return to the capital, she will go to the capital to accompany you." Nian Jincheng sighed slightly.
He knew very well that the real Ning Jing had died long ago, and the "Ning Jing" Yan Yu knew was a fake from the beginning to the end. Now this identity should disappear, and no one of his own died.
But these things must never be told to others.
"Tell her I'm fine." Su Liang shook his head, "What about you? Are you used to the life now?"
Nian Jincheng nodded, "Very good." After hesitating for a while, he said, "Yan Yu and I want to get married this year. You don't object, right?"
Su Liang was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "A little surprised, but not unexpected. It's normal for a talented man and a beautiful woman to fall in love over time."
Then the next moment, Nian Jincheng asked back, "What about you and someone?"
Su Liang said calmly, "Oh, he is abnormal."
Nian Jincheng was quite emotional, "I have never felt that there is a person who fits me so well. I want to be with her all the time. I miss her every day when we are apart, until I met Xiaoyu."
Su Liang said in a faint tone, "I thought you and someone were soul mates. Does he still have a place in your heart now?"
Nian Jincheng shook his head decisively, "He belongs to you."
Su Liang: ... Very good, it is exactly what she hoped Nian Jincheng would be like. Life is short, and pouring out your heart for someone who is not worthy is not only a waste of time, but also a self-torture.
At that time in the capital, Su Liang saw that Yan Yu and Nian Jincheng were interesting. They were both poor people who lacked love and yearned for family. They had similar personalities and were together every day without any obstacles. It was natural for them to fall in love.
The two did not chat for long before the funeral.
…
It rained heavily in Xunyang City just after the funeral.
Ning Jing's tablet was put back in the ancestral hall, accompanied by his mother and grandfather.
The guests from afar had not left yet. The weather was bad, so Su Liang asked them to stay in the mansion and asked the servants to serve them well. He also asked the steward to prepare some fine tea as a return gift to the Wan and Yan families.
In the afternoon, Su Liang wrote two letters, one to Wan Hui and one to Yan Yu, telling them that she was fine and they didn't need to worry.
At dinner, Su Liang came out to entertain Lu Yu and Wan Li. He did not invite Nian Jincheng, but asked the servants to send wine and food to Nian Jincheng's place.
Lu Yu is a taciturn person. Wan Li is young and used to be very talkative, but she didn't dare to say anything at this time, so the meal was very silent. Su Liang took the initiative to ask about the health of the old man of the Wan family and the business of the Wan family.
Putting down the chopsticks, Su Liang handed the letter to Wan Hui to Lu Yu.
"Then we will go back early tomorrow morning. Hui'er is still waiting at home." Lu Yu said.
Su Liang nodded, "Okay. I expect to return to the capital in July at the latest."
Watching Su Liang leave, Wan Li sighed, "She is really too strong."
Lu Yu nodded, "Yes, although she and Ning Jing are not married, they are like close friends and have a very good relationship. The pain must be hidden in their hearts."
Su Liang thought that Gu Ling was at Nian Jincheng's place, so he didn't go to see her and went straight back to her residence.
...
"You want to meet with Liangguo?" Nian Jincheng looked surprised.
Gu Ling reached out and took the only bowl of soup in front of Nian Jincheng, took out the chopsticks and spoon he brought with him, and began to taste it.
Nian Jincheng:...
After Gu Ling finished half a bowl of hot soup, he nodded slightly, "Yeah."
Nian Jincheng looked speechless, "Why are you still the same? It's really hard to talk to you. If the King of Yue in Liang Kingdom really helps you get a pardon from the royal family of Gan Kingdom, you can't find Su Liang openly, right?"
The royal family announced to the world that they would no longer be looking for Gu Ling, but it was different from looking at him without any grudges.
Even if Gu Ling can go wherever he wants, he and Su Liang, in the eyes of the world, have no intersection.
If he suddenly shows up and wants to marry Su Liang, or makes friends with Su Liang, it will definitely make people feel that there is something fishy.
"You don't have to care." Gu Ling's expression is indifferent.
Nian Jincheng snorted, "Yes, I don't have enough brains, I can only take care of my own business and not cause trouble for you. Now you are not alone, Su Liang takes care of you, and I have nothing to worry about."
Gu Ling drank the soup quietly, and did not refute the statement that "Su Liang takes care of him."
After asking the doubts in his heart, Nian Jincheng spoke again, with a smile on his lips, "I'll tell you a good news."
Gu Ling glanced at Nian Jincheng, "Are you going to marry into the Yan family?"
Nian Jincheng was stunned for a moment, "How do you know?"
"Besides that, you don't have anything good to say." Gu Ling said.
Nian Jincheng's mouth twitched slightly. Although it was the truth, why did it make him want to beat someone up so much...
However, Nian Jincheng still wanted to share his current happiness with his best friend, "Xiaoyu is honest and kind. Although she looks like a weak woman, she is stronger, smarter and more capable than me." After sincerely praising Yan Yu, Nian Jincheng changed the subject and said, "But she admires me very much because I am good at martial arts and she thinks I am very powerful."
Gu Ling looked at the joy overflowing from Nian Jincheng's eyebrows and eyes, and did not venomously criticize him. He only said, "You protect her."
Nian Jincheng nodded seriously, "I will."
He and Yan Yu have some common experiences, understand each other, and appreciate each other. He cherishes this hard-earned happiness.
"What about you and Su Liang?" Nian Jincheng asked Gu Ling.
Gu Ling shook his head, "Don't worry about it."
Nian Jincheng was helpless, "Forget it. You are all more capable and have more ideas than each other, it's not my turn to worry about it. We plan to get married before the Mid-Autumn Festival, you must go to the wedding."
"Okay." Gu Ling nodded.
...
It was late at night and the rain had not stopped.
Su Liang had just closed the book when she saw a black shadow flash by and Gu Ling sat opposite.
Su Liang asked someone to make the next door to her room into a study room, and put a bed in it, saying that she could rest here when she was tired of reading occasionally, but it was actually for Gu Ling to live in.
The two of them were sitting in the study room at this moment. Su Liang only mentioned that Nian Jincheng and Yan Yu were going to get married, and smiled and said, "Congratulations, you have successfully sold your brother."
Gu Ling nodded, "He has nothing, it's rare that Yan Yu doesn't despise him."
Su Liang agreed, "It's fate."
Then the two talked about the Ning family's business.
Su Liang planned to learn more about it next and then consider how to deal with it. Gu Ling said he was not interested and let Su Liang do it himself. He hoped that Su Liang would teach him more medical skills and tell him more stories when he had time.
The rain stopped in the middle of the night.
The next morning, Su Liang sent the guests away and went to the front hall to meet the stewards of the Ning family and listen to their business reports.
In the case of not lacking money, Su Liang was not very interested in expanding the business and making more money, but he was still a little interested in tea itself. He planned to learn more about it and go to the Ning family's tea mountain another day to experience picking and baking tea by himself.
Because of the funeral of "Ning Jing", the stewards from all over the country gathered in Xunyang City to mourn. It was almost noon and they had not finished a round of reports.
Su Liang just listened, wrote down everyone's name, characteristics and business they were responsible for, and did not express any opinions.
The old butler appeared outside the hall, looking a little anxious, "Miss, someone is coming from the prefect's mansion!"
Su Liang didn't know what was going on, so he asked them to come in.
Because she was not only the new head of the Ning family, but also a military commander of the dynasty, the visitor knelt down and kowtowed as soon as he entered the door, "General Su, my young lady is having a difficult delivery, help me!"
Su Liang was stunned for a moment, not expecting that he was here to seek medical treatment.
Su Liang did not ask anything, went to get the medicine box, rode out on his horse, and hurried to the prefect's mansion.
The old housekeeper stood at the door and watched Su Liang go away, his expression moved, "The young lady is not only capable, but also so kind-hearted."
An old steward stopped the housekeeper and asked, "My son has a strange disease and hasn't recovered for more than half a year. Can I ask the head of the family..."
The old housekeeper nodded, "I think it's okay. When the young lady comes back, I will ask for you."
...
After two hours, Su Liang came back from outside, looking a little tired. When he saw the old housekeeper, he said that other stewards would report tomorrow.
"I don't know about the prefect's mansion..." asked the old housekeeper.
"Mother and child are safe." Su Liang handed the reins to the servant and walked in with the medicine box. Seeing the old housekeeper following him, he stopped and asked if there was anything else.
The old housekeeper mentioned that the son of an old housekeeper had a strange disease and had not been cured. He wanted to ask Su Liang for help.
"Is he in the city?" Su Liang asked.
The old housekeeper was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Yes! Yes!"
"Bring the person over tomorrow. If you are in a hurry, today is fine." Su Liang said, "If it is not convenient, I will go over."
"Don't bother the young lady to go over, let him bring the son." The old housekeeper looked grateful, "Thank you young lady!"
"What are you polite about." Su Liang strode forward.
At nightfall, the old housekeeper asked someone to carry his son in front of Su Liang.
After Su Liang felt the pulse, he asked, "How many sons do you have?"
The old housekeeper thought Su Liang meant that this son was dead and asked him to give up. He immediately turned pale and fell to the ground with weak legs.
While asking someone to help the old steward up, the old housekeeper sighed and said that he only had this one son, and he had him in his old age.
"Don't panic, there is hope." Su Liang said calmly, "Someone has been poisoning him. It's been accumulating over time. After a while, he will really be in trouble. I'm saving him. Think about it carefully. Who in the family would harm him?"
The old steward was overjoyed when he heard Su Liang say that he could be saved. After hearing her words, his eyes widened. He didn't know what he was thinking about. He was so angry that his face turned blue and his whole body was shaking.
Su Liang first used acupuncture to force out the poison, fed the patient a homemade antidote pill, and wrote a prescription, asking the old steward to take his son back first and bring him back tomorrow. He would get better faster if he was given acupuncture several more times.
The old steward knelt down and kowtowed, and Su Liang couldn't persuade him.
Finally, she sent the person away. She changed her clothes, washed up, and asked the servants to put dinner in the study.
The table in the study is close to the inside. From the outside, you can't see the shadow of a person on the window.
The sound of Su Liang closing the door rang out, and Gu Ling had already sat in his seat.
The two of them didn't talk, and naturally started to have dinner together. Halfway through the meal, Gu Ling asked about the two people Su Liang saved today.
"It's three." Su Liang said. The woman in labor was in danger at the time, and almost died.
Gu Ling wanted to hear how Su Liang saved people, but he could talk about giving birth, but he didn't have the opportunity to see it with his own eyes.
"If you are not afraid of leaving a psychological shadow, you can watch your wife give birth in the future." Su Liang finished speaking and then talked about the strange disease of the old steward's son.
"He has only this one child, maybe his brothers and nephews want to seize the family property and kill his only son." Su Liang guessed so because when she treated the man today, she thought of General Peng Wei, whom she met in Xuanbei City.
She promised Peng Wei to treat his son, and maybe someone from the Peng family would send the patient soon.
After dinner, they didn't have to wash the dishes themselves. Gu Ling put them away, Su Liang put them under the eaves, and the servants came to take them away.
It was late at night, and Su Liang told Gu Ling two more stories from "Water Margin". As she was telling, Gu Ling was writing and drawing.
When she finished, yawning and preparing to go back to sleep, Gu Ling handed her a piece of paper.
Su Liang looked at it and nodded repeatedly, "Lu Zhishen uprooted a weeping willow. Your skill is really amazing. The painting is very vivid. Can you draw a portrait for me one day when you are free?"
Su Liang felt that the appearance in the mirror was different from that on the drawing paper. She suddenly became curious about what it would feel like to draw it.
Gu Ling nodded, "Okay. But I have to charge you."
Su Liang coughed lightly, "How much is one?"
Gu Ling opened his thin lips slightly, "A purse."
Su Liang nodded, "Okay, I'll buy you one tomorrow."
Gu Ling shook his head, "Make it yourself."
Su Liang got up and walked out, "Then I don't want it, thank you." She was not good at embroidery and didn't like it. Her purses were all given by Yan Yu, and she didn't want to make that thing.
