Rabbit Purse

Early in the morning, Su Liang went to the garden to run and practice. When the sun rose, she had washed, changed clothes and packed up.

The old housekeeper came to deliver breakfast in person, and looked at Su Liang with admiration and pride. He had no doubt that with such a talented, hardworking, honest and kind head of the family, the Ning family would definitely get better and better.

But the more he thought about it, the greater the regret in his heart. He really hoped that Ning Jing was still alive.

"Young lady is a person who does big things, and she can't be without someone to serve her. This old servant has a granddaughter, who is fourteen years old this year. Although she is a little clumsy, she can do the work of washing clothes and cooking, and she is honest and obedient. If the young lady doesn't mind..." The old housekeeper considered the words and mentioned to Su Liang about arranging maids.

Although the old housekeeper was a servant, compared with ordinary people, he was already a wealthy family and did not need his children and grandchildren to serve others to make a living. He really liked Su Liang, and had been thinking about picking a reliable maid for her these two days, but outsiders were worried.

Su Liang was thinking about something and was a little distracted, but he also heard the general idea and hurriedly said, "No need, I will return to the capital in a few days, and I can't stay here for long."

"When I return to the capital, I will need someone to serve me." The old housekeeper said earnestly.

Su Liang shook his head, "Really no need, if I need it, I will find it myself."

The old housekeeper looked a little disappointed, but didn't say anything else.

After the servants left, Su Liang went to the next door to call Gu Ling, and seeing that he was not there, he stopped caring, ate breakfast, and went to the front hall to continue what he had not finished yesterday.

After a while, the eldest son of the prefect's mansion came to the door to give a thank-you gift, and knelt down and kowtowed when he saw Su Liang. It was his wife who had a difficult delivery yesterday.

Su Liang asked about the mother and the child, and explained some precautions.

The thank-you gift was very expensive, and she didn't refuse. There was also a gold-plated invitation, inviting her to attend the child's baptism.

Su Liang thought that there would be many guests, and she would be surrounded like a panda in the zoo, so she declined, saying that she had to go out of town to visit friends that day and was not free.

After the guests left, the stewards who were waiting all the time felt that the Ning family was very different from before.

It was not until noon that day that the stewards finished the first round of reports.

Su Liang looked at the old men, the youngest of whom was over 40 years old, and felt that the business management of the Ning family needed young blood. She wanted to understand the whole process of the tea business, but she didn't have the time and energy to manage such a big thing personally.

It would be great if there was an "assistant to the head of the family"... Su Liang thought that it would be much easier to find a capable person to manage the Ning family's business for her.

So during lunch, Su Liang had a preliminary plan.

In the afternoon, all the stewards were called to a meeting, and Su Liang announced that he would "recruit" a general steward.

The reason why it is called "recruitment" is that it is not limited to selecting from the stewards of the Ning family, but also open to the outside.

Because Su Liang is kind, a steward boldly suggested that it is not safe to recruit people from outside to sit in such an important position.

"I have just taken over the business of the Ning family. I have only met you in the past two days, so I don't know much about you." Su Liang said indifferently, "I will personally select the position of the general steward. The capable one will take the position. If you are interested, just come to me. If someone outside the Ning family comes to apply for the position, I will check the details."

...

That day, the Ning family posted a recruitment notice in the most conspicuous place in the city, which immediately caused a sensation in the city.

The three words "general steward" shocked people, because no public recruitment would directly recruit outsiders to such an important position.

And the recruitment notice was also written in a unique way: the capable one will take the position, if you are brave, come.

It makes people feel interesting at first sight, and then feel that Su Liang is definitely a courageous person, otherwise he would not do such a thing.

Su Liang didn't see Gu Ling again until dinner.

She had already forgotten about asking for a painting last night and then giving up, and asked Gu Ling where he went during the day.

"Collecting herbs." Gu Ling said.

Su Liang was stunned, and then she noticed a backpack on the ground next to her. She put down her chopsticks and looked over. There were quite a few herbs in it, two of which were quite rare.

"Master, you are really good at finding things to do." Su Liang smiled and sat back and continued to eat.

This was a compliment to Gu Ling. Although there was nothing serious that he had to do, he could always find his own interests and make his life very fulfilling, which was also a very powerful ability.

"Do you know about my recruitment of the general manager today?" Su Liang asked, "Or, you change your identity and apply for the job? I recruit you as an assistant, I believe you can do it."

Gu Ling shook his head and refused directly, "Not interested."

There were too many things, and they were not what he liked.

"Forget it." Su Liang just asked casually. When he planned to recruit people at that time, he didn't consider Gu Ling.

After dinner, Gu Ling was processing the collected herbs, while Su Liang was talking to the old housekeeper in the yard.

"It was his useless brother who wanted to kill his son so that he could adopt his own son to him and take over the family business he had earned all his life." The old housekeeper talked about the inside story of the old housekeeper's son who was poisoned by Su Liang yesterday, and sighed repeatedly, "He supported his brother's family, but he didn't expect that he was an ungrateful wolf that could never be fed. It's really heartbreaking!"

It was consistent with Su Liang's guess, and it was very similar to the experience of Peng Wei and his son.

Good people are bullied. Some people, for the sake of money and power, disregard human ethics and morality, and can do anything evil.

The old housekeeper had found evidence, reported to the authorities, and drove his brother's family out.

After talking about this matter, the old housekeeper asked about Su Liang's recruitment again, mentioning a person, "When the master was alive, he always praised him as a business genius. If it hadn't been for the fact that the young lady was deceived by that thief Ning Feng, she would not have joined the Ning family. It was him. After the young lady got married to Ning Feng, the master tried every means to persuade her to stay, but he still left, and I don’t know where he went. "

The man the old housekeeper mentioned was named Song, with the word Qi in his name. His ancestors had once been prominent, but he had already declined in his generation. Because he liked tea, he came to the Ning family in Xunyang City to find work, and was discovered by Mr. Ning that he was a talented person. , worked hard to train him, and wanted to recruit him as a son-in-law. Unexpectedly, Ning Qingqing disliked Song Qi's mediocre appearance, and instead fell in love with the ambitious pretty boy Ning Feng, which caused disaster.

Su Liang became interested when he heard this, "Do you know where Song Qi is now?"

The old housekeeper shook his head, "He went away to a foreign country and there has been no news for many years, but I still remember that his hometown is in the south. If Miss is interested, I will send someone to find him and come back?"

Su Liang nodded immediately, "Since he is the person Grandpa Ning likes, he must be good, so let's go find him. But times have changed, whether he is still willing to return to the Ning family, and whether he still has the ability and ambition of his youth, all depends on him. It depends on the situation. I won’t definitely use him just because of his past relationship with the Ning family.”

The old housekeeper nodded repeatedly, "That's natural."

After the old housekeeper left and Su Liang returned to the study, Gu Ling had already cleaned the medicinal materials collected today.

Hearing Su Liang mention Song Qi's name, Gu Ling said, "I know."

Su Liang was surprised, "Do you know him?"

Gu Ling nodded, "That's right. I saved him."

Su Liang blinked, "The one with black Yintang? You have saved quite a few people. Tell me about Song Qi?"

"He should be helping Lin Ershan grow oranges now." Gu Ling said.

Su Liang raised his head and said, "Why are you still related to Lin Wei? By the way, the Song family is in the south."

Gu Ling mentioned that when he was thirteen years old, he secretly traveled to the southern part of Qian Kingdom. It was autumn at that time, and the Lin family's citrus orchard was particularly famous. He went to pick oranges, and found a man with a black seal, so he stared at it. Two days for him.

"Ning Feng hired a murderer to get rid of him." Gu Ling said.

Naturally, Gu Ling saved Song Qi's life by chance, but Song Qi didn't know about it. At that time, Gu Ling only heard his name.

"Master, tell me honestly, did you go to Lin's house to steal oranges?" Su Liang asked with a half-smile.

Gu Ling nodded and admitted directly.

But Su Liang couldn't imagine the thirteen-year-old boy Gu Ling sneaking into the citrus orchard and sitting on the tree to steal oranges to eat. Because he is so aloof now, things like that always make Su Liang think of Monkey picking peaches...

"Were you very lively when you were thirteen?" Su Liang asked curiously.

Gu Ling shook his head, "No."

Su Liang chuckled, "Unless you draw me a picture of you going to Lin Ershan's citrus orchard to steal oranges when you were thirteen and let me see what it looks like, otherwise I will treat you as if you and Monkey Sun entered the peach orchard. !”

After saying this, Su Liang couldn't help but think about how Gu Ling turned into the Monkey King, and the more she thought about it, the happier she became.

Gu Ling frowned slightly and looked at Su Liang who was laughing at him. He suddenly raised his hand and hit her.

Su Liang couldn't dodge and was hit in the head by Gu Ling's finger.

In fact, it didn't hurt, but she was speechless, "Master, are you angry with shame?"

Gu Ling's expression was calm, "Don't even think about cheating on my painting."

Su Liang hummed, "Then I won't tell you stories anymore."

"That's what we promised before. You can't say it without trusting it." Gu Ling said.

Su Liang held his forehead. Indeed, Gu Ling is a person who likes to explain everything clearly, especially between them. Whatever he wants Su Liang to do, he has received her clear commitment.

And Su Liang would never lie or deny what he said.

Su Liang stopped joking and said seriously, "I'll tell Uncle Yu tomorrow where Song Qi is and ask him to send someone to ask. It's not poaching. It all depends on Song Qi. If he still loves Tea, if you are willing to come back, the Ning family will naturally welcome you, but if you don’t want to, just forget it.”

That night, Su Liang talked about "The Killing of Song Jiang" in "Water Margin", and Gu Ling drew another painting.

After Su Liang praised him, he remembered what happened last night and found that Gu Ling had a new purse hanging on his body.

"Bought it today? It's very nice." Su Liang said. The style is simple, the color is very unique, and a medicinal herb is outlined with silk thread.

Gu Ling shook his head, "I did it myself."

Su Liang expressed surprise. In fact, Su Liang knew that Gu Ling could do needlework, because he made all his coats himself, and the others were all prepared by Yan Yu when he gave Su Liang new clothes. He almost never bought them from outside. .

But this was the first time for Gu Ling to make her own purse.

Su Liang gave a thumbs up, "That's great, much better than me."

"Do you want it?" Gu Ling asked Su Liang.

Su Liang immediately asked, "What do you want me to give in exchange?"

"Tell me two more stories today." Gu Ling put forward her condition.

Su Liang smiled and said, "Deal!"

It was late at night, and after Su Liang told Gu Ling two more stories, he yawned and went back to his room.

Before going to bed, Su Liang was still thinking that Gu Ling might be working next door at the moment.

"Master Gu is really a weirdo." Su Liang muttered, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

…

Early the next morning, Gu Ling disappeared again, and Su Liang didn't care.

When she saw the old housekeeper again, Su Liang said that she had a friend named Lin Wei. Last night, she suddenly remembered that he had mentioned that the manager of his citrus garden had been a manager of the Ning family.

The old housekeeper's eyes lit up, "That must be Song Qi!"

"At that time, I was with Ning Jing in the capital. Master Lin told Ning Jing about it. I just heard a sentence and didn't pay attention to it." Su Liang said.

"In that case, I will send someone to find him today to see if he is willing to come back." The old housekeeper determined that it was Song Qi.

That day, several big housekeepers of the Ning family came to Su Liang to compete for the position of general housekeeper.

Su Liang asked them some questions seriously and was not satisfied. The general housekeeper needs to have a big picture, have his own ideas about the future development of the Ning family, and have enough courage.

Although the Ning family's recruitment notice was discussed by people, no outsiders came to apply for it for a while.

However, everyone knew that Su Liang saved the young lady of the prefect's mansion.

On this day, someone came to ask for medical treatment.

When it comes to curing diseases and saving lives, you can't refuse it.

So, a strange scene appeared in Xunyang City.

Su Liang, the top scholar in this year's martial arts exam, the newly promoted imperial physician and military commander, and the new head of the Ning family, set up a temporary clinic in the Ning family to receive patients and became a doctor.

Regardless of their background, the Ning family would receive patients who came to the door.

For a time, Su Liang was praised by everyone, and people came to seek medical treatment in an endless stream.

At night, the Ning Mansion closed the door, and the patients waiting in line outside left.

The old housekeeper looked at Su Liang, who was rubbing her shoulders, with some distress, "Miss, you are kind, but this is not a solution."

Su Liang nodded, "Indeed. But I may leave in a few days. During this time in Xunyang City, I will see as many patients as I can."

She has read many medical books and has always wanted to find an opportunity to practice. It doesn't matter if she is busy, after all, it is a good thing.

If Song Qi can be found and he meets Su Liang's requirements, she can return to the capital with peace of mind.

...

During dinner, Su Liang asked the servants to warm up a pot of wine.

Gu Ling asked her why she suddenly wanted to drink. Su Liang poured two glasses and said that today was the day Xing Yusheng and Lin Xueqing were getting married.

Su Liang raised his glass and said, "I hope they will grow old together and have a baby soon." He smiled and said, "It's good to have a baby later."

Su Liang had told Gu Ling before that it was not good for a woman to have a baby too early. He nodded and clinked glasses with Su Liang. They both took a sip and put them down.

"By the way, where's my purse?" Su Liang suddenly remembered and asked Gu Ling for it.

Gu Ling took out a dark red-edged purse from his arms and put it in Su Liang's hand.

Su Liang looked at the cute little rabbit drawn with silk thread on it and said seriously, "This will damage my temperament as a military commander."

Gu Ling glanced at her, "No?"

Su Liang stared at Gu Ling's purse, "Shall we exchange? I think the rabbit purse is very suitable for you, the great god."

Gu Ling said nothing, stretched out his hand to take away the fried rabbit meat in front of Su Liang, and ate it elegantly.
