Hide a Fat Doll

When Qi Jun went to the Xing residence to borrow a driver, he mentioned that Su Liang had something to do today, so Xing Yusheng and Lin Xueqing did not come to disturb him.

For the whole day, there were only Su Liang and Gu Ling in the residence. Gu Ling moved Bai Xiaohu's things away, and moved his things to the study room of Yuanming Pavilion, and restored the appearance before he left.

He wanted to eat fried fish nuggets, so he caught a fat fish before lunch. Su Liang fried it and served it on a plate. Gu Ling ate most of it before serving it as a snack, leaving only two pieces for Su Liang.

Su Liang was not angry when she saw this, but just felt a little funny. When it came to eating, Gu Ling never let her. She should be very "touched" to be able to leave two pieces.

Summer has passed, and the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching. It is still a bit hot during the day these days.

The afternoon sun was very strong. Su Liang remembered that when Xing Yusheng built an ice cellar for the Xing Mansion, she also built one for the Su Mansion to store ice cubes, but she had never used it, so she asked Gu Ling to get some.

"What for?" Gu Ling was puzzled.

"You will know when you get it." Su Liang kept it a secret.

As a result, when he heard footsteps again, Su Liang, who was peeling grapes, turned around and saw Gu Ling holding a large square ice brick with a cloth pad.

Su Liang instructed Gu Ling to put it on the table away from light, "You won't need so much, but since you have taken it all, you can make ice sculptures with the rest when the time comes."

Gu Ling frowned slightly. Su Liang seemed to treat him as a child. It was weird, but it felt good...

Gu Ling didn't know what Su Liang was going to do, but he saw a few white porcelain bowls on the table, which contained three kinds of fruits cut into small pieces, a bowl of grapes she was peeling, and another bowl of honey water. He smelled the sweet aroma of honey.

This must be a delicious dish.

Gu Ling followed Su Liang's instructions, took a clean wide knife, and started shaving ice. The first time was not smooth, but he soon got the hang of it, shaving off a thin slice at a time, and piling it in the bowl to make a smoothie.

Two crystal clear glass cups were gifts from Mr. Qin. They were filled with half a cup of smoothie, and then the four kinds of fruits were evenly arranged on top, and then poured with an appropriate amount of honey water.

Su Liang made one, held it in his hand and asked Gu Ling, "Does it look good?"

Gu Ling nodded.

"Well, this is an ornamental delicacy in our area. It is used for viewing in summer and can relieve dryness and heat. But when the smoothie melts into water, it will not be so beautiful. Look at it quickly, don't blink, and don't touch it." Su Liang said nonsense seriously.

Gu Ling was speechless and stretched out his hand, "Give it to me."

Su Liang chuckled, put it in front of Gu Ling, and handed over a wooden spoon for dessert.

Gu Ling scooped a spoonful of smoothie mixed with a piece of fruit, tasted it, nodded slightly, and then changed to another fruit. After eating all four kinds, he began to taste the taste of two fruits arranged in combination, and then the taste of three fruits arranged in combination. At the last spoonful, there was just one piece of the four fruits left mixed with smoothie.

Su Liang watched while making it, and was simply amazed. This person must be a severe obsessive-compulsive disorder patient.

Then Gu Ling put down the spoon and made a summary, "The taste is different, but they are all delicious."

Su Liang: ... She thought Gu Ling would make a taste list...

As a result, when Su Liang was distracted, the newly made one also fell into Gu Ling's hands. This time he ate it casually, scooping whatever he got, and the number of fruit pieces was still a new random combination.

Su Liang could only say that this might be the highest realm of foodies, and the same food could taste a hundred kinds of deliciousness.

In the end, Su Liang ate a small bowl. It was indeed delicious, but too sweet. She always tasted sweets lightly.

Although it was sweet, it was not greasy because it was a smoothie. Gu Ling, who had eaten fruit smoothies for the first time, ate three in a row.

Su Liang did not leave any for Bai Xiaohu, because he was malnourished and had a weak stomach due to abuse before, and was still taking medicine, so he could not eat this.

There was a large piece of ice brick with only a corner missing, wrapped in cloth, and only melted a little in a dark and wind-proof place.

"Master, if you want to make ice sculptures, hurry up, it will melt quickly. I'm going to sleep for a while." Su Liang just sat in the sun and felt a little sleepy.

When Su Liang went upstairs, Gu Ling brought his complete set of carving tools, gestured to the ice for a while, and started to cut.

Su Liang usually did not have the habit of taking a nap, so he woke up after a short sleep this time.

Just as he was about to go downstairs to take a look at Gu Ling's ice sculptures, he opened the door and saw him coming up from downstairs with a tray covered with a piece of silk cloth.

"It's done?" Su Liang was curious, "What is it?" As she spoke, she was about to lift the cloth.

Gu Ling moved aside, carried it into Su Liang's room, and placed it on the table.

Su Liang followed in and watched Gu Ling lift the silk cloth and wrap it around the ice sculpture to prevent the melted water from flowing onto the table.

Su Liang approached and found that it was an abstract ice sculpture. At first glance, she couldn't tell what the messy outline was.

Looking more closely, she found that there were various elements of her previous life on it, such as airplanes, trains, cruise ships, cars, computers, mobile phones, etc.

It looked like an art sticker of an ice sculpture, and it was three-dimensional, with very delicate details.

"Master, you are really good at carving." Su Liang sighed, "But it will melt soon. Like these things, it has become a fantasy of mine and I can never go back."

Gu Ling asked, "Do you want to go back?"

Su Liang thought for a moment, "At first I thought I should make the best of it, there's nothing to miss over there. But now, I really want to go back. It's not that I can't adapt to the survival rules here, but I don't want to adapt to many of them, especially dealing with the royal family now, it's too tiring."

Gu Ling was silent for a moment, "If you can find a way to go back, take me with you."

Su Liang smiled, "Of course. From the beginning, the great god wanted to go there more than I did. If only one person can go, I'm willing to let the great god experience the other world at that time, after all, I've experienced it."

Gu Ling frowned slightly, "Forget about one person, I'm afraid."

Su Liang laughed and ended the topic. She just thought it was a joke, because she didn't think there was any possibility of going back. She had died there a long time ago, and she didn't come through a man-made time machine, so there was still a chance to "return".

The ice that represented Su Liang's memory of her previous life melted into a thin piece before the sun set.

Su Liang cleaned it up and used the melted water to water the flowers.

…

At nightfall, Qi Jun came back with Bai Xiaohu, carrying a lot of things.

After entering Yuanming Pavilion, Bai Xiaohu excitedly told Su Liang that he saw a tall, big and beautiful palace, a big and beautiful lake, and bought a lot of things and ate something.

The two had come back from a restaurant outside, and Su Liang and Gu Ling had also eaten.

Qi Jun also brought back a few dishes for Su Liang, who said she would heat them up as a midnight snack when she was hungry.

After listening to Bai Xiaohu's story and seeing that he was particularly happy, Su Liang smiled and said, "Let's go play tomorrow." It's too big to visit the capital in one day.

Bai Xiaohu nodded like pounding garlic.

When Su Liang said that they should stay in the courtyard that Qi Jun had originally chosen tonight, both of them had no objection.

Qi Jun thought that Su Liang must have to read late at night and didn't want to be disturbed.

After learning that the things had been moved by Su Liang, the two drank some water, and Qi Jun pushed Bai Xiaohu away, asking Su Liang to rest early. The medicine that Bai Xiaohu wanted to drink was originally boiled by Qi Jun.

When Su Liang went upstairs, he found that Gu Ling had gone out at some point.

Not long after, he came back and said that he had gone to see Zhenger.

Su Liang asked Gu Ling a question, "Master, if you have married and had children, and suddenly got a chance to travel through time, but you can only go alone and can't come back, what would you choose?"

Gu Ling asked back, "What do you think?"

Su Liang nodded, "I believe in the character of the master, of course I would choose the former. But it will be a bit regretful, and I sincerely wish the master can achieve his wish."

Gu Ling's eyes suddenly became deep, "Thank you for your blessing." He turned around and left.

...

The next day, Xing Yusheng asked Qi Yan to come over and told him that the date for moving the graves was August 18, three days after the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Su Liang thought it was quite suitable. It happened that the festival had just been celebrated in the capital, and there were still two days to prepare. The weather was also the most comfortable, neither too hot nor too cold.

Su Liang planned to talk about her coffin-carrying back to her hometown when she saw Duanmu Yi next time, instead of taking the initiative to talk to him. This matter had been specifically mentioned before, and at that time Duanmu Yi just told her to wait until the weather was cooler before leaving, which was equivalent to agreeing to give Su Liang a vacation. Moreover, for such things, a good day cannot be delayed.

Qi Jun and Bai Xiaohu went out to play that day, and Su Liang invited Gu Ling to spar with her. Gu Ling said that her Luoying swordsmanship had improved, but she still needed to practice more, and it was still not fast enough. As long as she practiced Luoying swordsmanship to a certain level, her strength would be greatly improved.

Su Liang practiced martial arts for half a day, read books in the afternoon, and her life returned to normal.

That night, Gu Ling secretly sneaked into the Fifth Prince's Mansion to inquire about Huang Bo's whereabouts. After waiting for a long time, he heard two servants who were on night watch mention Huang Bo, saying that he really went out to find his son and went to the Lin family in the south. Because Duanmu Che said that he wanted to let Huang Bo's son go to Lin's house to deliver a letter, in order to repair the relationship with his maternal family.

Gu Ling came back and told Su Liang, who was thoughtful, "Duanmu Che should have used this excuse to deceive Huang Bo. When Huang Bo arrived at Lin's house and learned that his son had never been there, he would think that his son had an accident on the way and disappeared without a trace, but he would not suspect Duanmu Che."

At this point, Su Liang could only wait to see Huang Bo again before considering how to make him see Duanmu Che's true face. Now that he didn't know where he went, he had to give up for the time being.

The day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Qi Jun took Bai Xiaohu to Huguo Temple. Because the last time Monk Chengyun came, he said that Huguo Temple would give pilgrims homemade cakes before the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Su Liang had prepared the materials for making mooncakes early and refused to make them with Lin Xueqing, saying that they would exchange them after they made them. The real reason was that he was afraid that someone would be unhappy. Gu Ling also carefully carved a few beautiful mooncake molds, and he had to participate.

The fruit trees in the mansion were planted by Duanmu Chen according to Su Liang's request. With the addition of the pomegranate tree sent by Xing Yusheng, it is quite large.

Only half of them have produced fruit this year, but it is enough to eat.

Su Liang made a kind of nut filling, two kinds of jam fillings, date paste fillings, red bean paste fillings, and salted egg yolk fillings.

Every time there is a festival, making special food is quite ceremonial. Gu Ling is responsible for making fire, kneading dough and baking mooncakes, and the temperature is quite good.

Unlike the neighbor Xing family, the young couple took over the old lady Xing. She and Lin Xueqing were responsible for wrapping the mooncakes and asked Xing Yusheng to shape them with molds. He broke three in a row. After Lin Xueqing hit him, she was afraid that the old lady Xing would be unhappy. As a result, the old lady Xing hit him three times in a row...

Because there are children at home and they need to give them as gifts, the two spent half a day making the mooncakes. Gu Ling arranged the finished mooncakes neatly and piled them into a pyramid shape on the table. Even the different patterns were evenly distributed.

Su Liang couldn't help but "praise", "God, your obsessive-compulsive disorder is too amazing."

Gu Ling knew what obsessive-compulsive disorder was, but he thought he didn't have it. It was also a kind of gain to be pleasing to the eye. It didn't take much thought, so why not?

Qi Jun bought the packaging materials in advance. After the mooncakes cooled down, Su Liang and Gu Ling wrapped four of them together, and then wrote the fillings on the red paper outside.

Anyway, Gu Ling and Su Liang's handwriting is exactly the same, so there is no need to worry about someone thinking that it was written by "Ning Jing".

The Qin family, Gao family, Lin family, and Xing family all sent people to send gifts. Su Liang's return gift was homemade mooncakes and fruits from the fruit trees in the mansion. Gu Ling chose the two that he didn't like to eat. In addition, there was a gift package of Ning's tea and "tea-related products" prepared by Song Qi in advance.

After receiving the return gift, everyone knew that Su Liang made it herself when they saw the words written on the mooncakes. They all thought she was so thoughtful. Old Master Qin took all the two bags of mooncakes made by Su Liang for himself, and Old Doctor Gao reluctantly gave Gao Jiabao a piece.

In the evening, Wan Hui's family of three came, and she always gave gifts by the car.

Su Liang looked at the things that Lu Yu brought in with a group of servants, and said, "Why is Sister Wan still so polite?"

Zheng'er smiled and said, "Grandpa gave it to Auntie!"

It's not that Wan Hui's family gave so much, most of them were festival gifts from the Wan family in Qingyang City.

Su Liang took out a beautiful Chinese knot and gave it to Zheng'er, which was actually given by Gu Ling.

Zheng'er couldn't let it go, hung it on his chest, and played with it.

Wan Hui smiled and said that she would hang it in Zheng'er's small room when she got back.

Qi Jun and Bai Xiaohu came back and brought some cakes from Huguo Temple.

When Bai Xiaohu saw Zheng'er, he thought of his younger brother. He missed home even more as the festival was approaching, and he couldn't help feeling a little depressed. Qi Jun noticed and comforted Bai Xiaohu, saying that he would leave for home in a few days.

Bai Xiaohu played with Zheng'er and soon became lively.

Gu Ling sat in the study upstairs. There were a few moon cakes and a fruit plate on the table. Dinner was dumplings, which were wrapped in advance and he had already eaten.

It was lively and warm downstairs. He was alone holding a book and hadn't turned a page for a long time.

Gu Ling put a bookmark, closed the book and put it aside, spread a piece of paper, pondered for a moment, and picked up a pen to paint.

...

After Wan Hui's family left with the return gift from Su Liang, Qi Jun also took Bai Xiaohu back to their yard. He originally wanted to help clean up, but Su Liang said no.

Su Liang went upstairs and knocked on Gu Ling's room, "Master, are you awake? Go downstairs and wash the dishes."

After hearing Gu Ling's response, Su Liang went downstairs first.

After a while, Gu Ling stopped writing, and a beautiful fat baby appeared on the paper. The gender could not be seen, but the facial features looked like both Gu Ling and Su Liang, a perfect fusion.

Gu Ling blew it dry gently and picked it up, and looked at it for a long time before carefully putting it away and hiding it, and went downstairs to wash the dishes...
