Unbreakable
After taking Gu Ling's bedding from the warehouse and laying it out, Su Liang was about to go back to his room, "God, go to bed early. Google search and read"
Gu Ling said, "Stop."
Su Liang turned back in response, "God, do you have any other instructions?"
"I owe you a few days of stories." Gu Ling said.
Su Liang slapped his forehead, "I forgot everything."
"Let's go." Gu Ling said.
"Where to?" Su Liang asked.
"The garden." Gu Ling had already walked to the door after he finished speaking, "Come back to sleep after the story is over."
The bright moonlight poured into the room, and Su Liang was not sleepy at the moment, so he readily agreed.
The two walked together under the moon, and Su Liang continued to tell Gu Ling the unfinished story. When he got to the exciting part, he got interested and invited Gu Ling to fight like the people in the book.
So, the two imitated the moves of the two heroes in the book and fought.
After the end, Su Liang praised Gu Ling for learning very well, "We can go to the opera troupe to be martial artists."
Walking around the lake, Su Liang talked about the part where Wu Song met the female demon Sun Erniang on the road.
Gu Ling asked, "What does human flesh smell like?"
Su Liang chuckled, "Of course it smells 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 have never eaten human flesh, how do I know what it tastes like? Master, you don't want to..." Su Liang asked.
Gu Ling shook his head, "It's okay. Continue."
While telling the story, Su Liang walked around the lake three times and yawned.
When she finished another paragraph, Gu Ling said, "Let's stop here today."
...
The next morning, Su Liang got up to practice martial arts. After finishing, he returned to the yard. Gu Ling had already boiled hot water. He lit the fire and she made breakfast. Suddenly, she felt that life was back on track.
Originally, Lin Xueqing wanted to come early to cook for Su Liang, but she was too tired to get up late last night, and Xing Yusheng persuaded Su Liang to take good care of herself. If they went too frequently, Su Liang would be uncomfortable.
"Qing'er, Su Liang will not be polite to us. She is not a child. She wanted to eat the food you cooked, so she came here by herself. Now she is so close." Xing Yusheng said.
Lin Xueqing thought about it and felt that it made sense, "Then I won't go today. I will wait and see if Sister Su will come to see me!"
As a result, Qi Jun went back to the Zhongxin Marquis's Mansion to get something. He came back to tell Xing Yusheng and Lin Xueqing that Su Liang went to the Marquis's Mansion to visit Old Lady Xing and asked for some fresh lotus roots to take back.
Lin Xueqing was "sad", "Sister Su really doesn't need me!"
Xing Yusheng hurried to coax his little wife, but he couldn't help laughing while coaxing her. He kept saying that he needed Lin Xueqing the most, let Su Liang play by herself, and he would ignore her in the future. As a result, he was scolded by Lin Xueqing.
...
Su Liang was not very interested in snow pear and lotus root paste, but since he had said it last night, he naturally had to make it.
According to her own understanding, she got a small stone mill, put the cleaned snow pear and lotus root pieces together and grind them into paste, put them in the pot and simmered them over low heat, stirring constantly.
The kitchen was filled with hot steam and sweet fragrance. Su Liang waved his hand to drive away the heat. His blurred vision became clear. Seeing the thick paste in the pot, he quickly added hot water into it. As a result, the paste clumps and separates, which looks even more unsuccessful.
When Su Liang washed the pot, he turned around and saw that Gu Ling, who was sitting next to the small stone mill, had cut a new portion of snow pear and lotus root pieces.
"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 only know how to eat."
Gu Ling picked up a piece of snow pear with a fruit fork and put it into his mouth, showing with practical actions: he will eat it! What?
Su Liang: ... Of course I can't do anything, she promised to do it, so I can only keep trying.
"If it fails again this time, it's because you stole a piece of pear." Su Liang said seriously.
Then, Gu Ling ate another piece of raw lotus root, "Okay."
Su Liang: ... Nothing to say.
Su Liang asked Gu Ling to use a stone mill to squeeze the pulp, and Gu Ling did not refuse, with elegant movements and even speed.
"It seems that you like the stone mill very much. I will teach you how to make soy milk later, and we can also make tofu and bean skin ourselves." Su Liang said.
The last failure was because no water was added. This time, Su Liang added an appropriate amount of water to the ground snow pear and lotus root pulp, stirred it evenly, and then started to cook.
A faint sweet aroma spread, which was quite successful.
Su Liang had never eaten it before, so he served two bowls, one for Gu Ling and one for himself.
No sugar was added, the sweetness of the snow pear itself was just right.
"Is it like your mother's?" Su Liang asked Gu Ling.
Gu Ling shook his head slightly, "My mother's is very sweet."
"Then add some sugar to you? It should be delicious with honey." Su Liang put down the bowl and went to make a high-sweet version for Gu Ling.
Gu Ling shook his head, "I liked sweet food when I was a child, and this is just right now."
"Actually, for lotus root, I like sour and spicy lotus root cubes the most." Su Liang said casually.
Gu Ling nodded, "Okay, eat it in the evening. Soy milk, tofu, and bean skin will be eaten tomorrow. I can grind beans."
Su Liang held his forehead and said that he should be cautious when talking about new dishes in the future. He would cook it for someone once he said it, as if he owed him...
In the afternoon, Su Liang went to Gao's house with gifts to visit Gao Jiabao.
There is no need to buy them specially. The Su Mansion's storehouse is filled with a lot of precious teas, fine fabrics, and various antiques and treasures, some of which were sent by the Ning family, and some by the Yan and Wan families.
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 picked 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 unreasonable 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 respect. 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 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." Traditionally, marriage 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 person... Oh, God is jealous of talents!" Father Gao sighed.
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 instead of being 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 it. Not far in front of him was a lake filled with blue waves. The area was much smaller than that of the Su Mansion, but it was still 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 grandfather'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 saving people is not something everyone can do." Su Liang said.
Gao Jiabao nodded, "Yes. After going through hell, I suddenly realized something. Maybe I have been wrong all along. I don't want to study 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 cannot be obtained with fists, but can also be obtained in other more meaningful ways. Previously, I always wanted to prove myself to outsiders, but I fell into a misunderstanding. If the country needs it, I am still willing to fight. , 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'll 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 will not let go of anyone who poisons someone." Su Liang did not say it clearly. It's best not to say secrets, so as not to cause complications. Gao Jiabao had already suffered an unreasonable disaster this time, and it would not be good for him to 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 concerns. Now he is much better and understands our painstaking efforts. He 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 heal Wan Shan unless she tortured him in the name of healing. But there is no need now, he is 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 put money on his face, but the inside story couldn't be known to anyone. If she mentioned to Duanmu Yi that there was an expert beside her, and that the expert knew a poison master... 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 didn't have enough energy.
"Have you thought about this?" Duanmu Yi asked.
Su Liang answered respectfully, "Yes, I have thought about it carefully and hope that the emperor will approve it."
"Okay. But if you have any ideas about training and fighting, please share them with General Lin. I heard that you two are like brothers and sisters." Duanmu Yi said.
Su Liang nodded, "I obey your order."
"What do you think of the prince? Don't worry about anything. Tell me your true thoughts. No matter what you say, I won't blame you." Duanmu Yi smiled.
Su Liang was stunned for a moment, "Your Highness the Prince... I think he is a very smart person. He knows what he wants and has both moral integrity and talent."
The word "smart" is simple, but it is difficult to really do it. Duanmu Sheng and Duanmu Ao are both stupid in Duanmu Yi's eyes. They can't control their desires and can't achieve great things. In comparison, Duanmu Yi thinks Duanmu Chen is most like him.
Duanmu Yi chuckled, "I didn't expect you to think so highly of the prince. Since you admire the prince so much, why don't you become the princess of Gan Kingdom?"
Su Liang was a little confused. She didn't expect Duanmu Yi to suddenly have such an idea. Although it sounded like Duanmu Yi was half joking, as a minister, one must never take any words of the monarch as a joke.
Su Liang lowered his eyes, "I am of humble origin and unworthy of His Royal Highness the Prince."
Duanmu Yi narrowed his eyes slightly, "Is it unworthy or do you look down on him?"
Su Liang had not thought of such a thing, but when it really happened, it still made her a little annoyed, but she didn't dare to show it, and only said in a deep voice, "To reply to the emperor, Ning Jing's body is still warm, and I don't want to consider getting married for the time being."
"You can't forget Ning Jing?" Duanmu Yi frowned.
Su Liang sighed deeply, "Yes. I dare not deceive the emperor."
Duanmu Yi snorted, "Forget it. You go back and think about this matter carefully. If you are interested in the position of Crown Princess, I am still willing to give you a chance. Leave."
Su Liang thanked him and left, walked out of the imperial study, and silently kicked a stone away...
...
That night, after a long time, Su Liang secretly met with Duanmu Chen again.
Duanmu Chen was a little surprised, "Why are you here? Is there something?"
Su Liang's face was calm, "You don't know?"
Duanmu Chen frowned, "What should I know?"
"I entered the palace today, and the emperor said he wanted me to be the Crown Princess. What do you think?" Su Liang said in a faint tone.
Duanmu Chen was stunned, then raised his right hand and swore, "This is not my intention, and my father has not discussed it with me. To be honest, I hope you can help me to secure the position of the crown prince, the throne, and even unify the world, rather than marrying me and giving birth to my children. There are many women for me to choose from for the latter, and only you are capable of doing the former. My brain is not broken."
Su Liang narrowed his eyes slightly, "Okay, I believe you. Now that things have come to this, let's not talk nonsense. You know best whether I have helped you or not. I don't want anyone to interfere in my marriage. As for the emperor..."
Duanmu Chen nodded, "I will find a way. As long as you don't choose a traitor as your husband one day in the future, I think our cooperation is unbreakable."
