It Makes People Anxious
The next day, just after dawn, Su Liang got up and ran in the yard, just like before.
When she came back from the backyard after the first lap, she saw Gu Ling appear in the corridor.
"Master, do you want to join us?" Su Liang waved at Gu Ling.
Gu Ling shook his head and walked towards the kitchen. He had to boil water and wait for Su Liang to wash up after her exercise.
After finishing the exercise, he heard a knock on the door. Su Liang went to open it and saw Aunt Bai standing outside the door with two large bowls. Seeing her neat outfit, he sighed, "No wonder Liang girl can win the martial arts championship. She practices like this every day, and she is really tenacious."
Su Liang smiled, "It smells so good!"
Aunt Bai smiled and said it was breakfast for her, wild vegetable pancakes and brown sugar millet porridge.
Su Liang quickly took it and heard Aunt Bai praise the pumpkin pancakes and crisp eggplants she made last night. She said it was very simple and she would know how to make it when she went to her house next time.
"Your grandfather and Xiaohu's father and uncle went to dig graves before dawn. Xiaoqi also went. All the men who can work in the village went." Aunt Bai said, "You don't have to rush over. The head of the village is watching." "Thank you very much." Su Liang looked serious. Aunt Bai patted Su Liang's arm with her rough hands and went back, saying that Xiaohu would come to get the bowl later, and there was no need to rush to send it over. There were two pumpkin cakes left from last night. I heated them up and didn't make anything else. After Su Liang washed up, he had breakfast with Gu Ling. The two of them removed the weeds in the backyard, picked the only eggplant left, and picked all the old pumpkins. Looking at the cleaned up backyard, Gu Ling said, "No matter where I live in the future, I will grow vegetables." "Does the great god also think that the vegetables he grows are more delicious?" Su Liang chuckled. Gu Ling nodded, "Yes." "What will happen if I say one more word?" Su Liang snorted. Gu Ling said several more words, "I want to eat sweet and sour pork ribs."
Su Liang: ... Why do I hear a hint of willfulness? It must be an illusion.
"There are no pork ribs at home. If you want to eat, go buy them yourself." Su Liang said.
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard a knock on the door in the front yard. She went to open the door, and Gu Ling set fire to the dry weeds.
It was Hu Er who came. He heard that Su Liang was back last night, and came to the village this morning.
Hu Er, who used to run a gambling house and loan sharks, has now recovered from his illness and started a serious business. He looks younger and younger, and his spirit is completely different from the past.
Su Liang wanted to invite him for tea, but he didn't boil water yet.
Hu Er smiled and said, "Miss Su, please don't be polite to me. I didn't expect that Miss Su still doesn't even have a maid to serve her. She does everything by herself. It's really..." Different, but very down-to-earth.
Su Liang thought that she didn't do everything by herself, and a certain great god was more down-to-earth than her. Of course, to put it bluntly, it's all life, and she should do her own things. She still can't do it, and she doesn't want to be high and mighty and use anyone like a slave. In her eyes, Qi Jun is a hired assistant. If she encounters danger, she will never let Qi Jun stand in front of her.
After chatting for a while, Hu Er talked about business, "The person Miss Su asked me to keep an eye on last time has finally found some clues recently. I'm preparing to take people to take a look."
Su Liang was stunned for a moment, "You mean, my friend's missing brother?"
Hu Er nodded, and then said quickly, "I don't know if it's him yet, the age matches, and there is a red birthmark on his neck."
Su Liang only told Hu Er about his age and birthmark at the beginning. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Then please find out clearly first, don't alarm others, if it's not him, it will cause trouble for others."
Hu Er said seriously, "Don't worry, Miss Su, I know."
Su Liang knew that Hu Er was not short of money now that he was doing business with the Wan family, so he didn't bother to be polite with him, and just said that no matter whether it succeeded or not, he would treat him to a drink later.
Hu Er nodded repeatedly upon hearing this, "I have something to ask Miss Su."
Su Liang nodded, "You go ahead."
"I have two little kids at home. They are at the age of enlightenment. My eldest brother originally wanted to hire a teacher to teach them at home, and I thought of the school run by Miss Su. I wonder if they can come here to study?" Hu Er asked.
"Do you pick them up and drop them off in the county every day? Is it a bit far?" Su Liang asked.
Hu Er waved his hand quickly, "Not far! The elderly at home like to live in the town, so let them live in the town when the time comes!"
Su Liang smiled, "If you think this is good, of course you can, I'll tell the head of the village, you just send the children here."
Hu Er looked happy and thanked Su Liang.
In fact, Su Liang knew that Hu Er wanted to curry favor with her, perhaps because he thought she was a big shot, and she would help and take care of the children who graduated from the Sujia Village School in the future. He sent his own children here to build a relationship.
But it's nothing, it's normal for people to have selfish motives. Su Liang agreed to Hu Er, and he also had selfish motives.
The Hu family is now one of the richest merchants in Bei'an County, and they have a good relationship with the government. No one dares to provoke them easily. The children of the Hu family are sent to Sujia Village to go to school, and the Hu family will naturally ensure the peace of the school in Sujia Village and even the entire village.
And this is what Su Liang wants, each takes what he needs.
Hu Er asked Su Liang when he planned to return to Beijing. He would confirm as soon as possible whether the person he found was Chen Yun's brother. If Su Liang had left by then, he would send someone to Beijing to deliver a letter.
After Hu Er left, Su Liang went to the backyard and didn't see Gu Ling anymore. Thinking that he must have gone to the town to buy meat, he didn't care.
After a while, Su Liang locked the door and went to Bai's house.
Aunt Bai had just taken out the dried beans she had dried last month. When she saw Su Liang coming, she came up to her with a smile on her face and took the bowl from her hand, "Come in and sit down."
"These dried beans are good." Su Liang stared at Aunt Bai's dish. It’s cold in the north and there is no fresh beans this season.
"Whatever you want to eat, Auntie will cook it for you!" Auntie Bai said cheerfully.
"Can I take one back?" Su Liangxiao asked.
Aunt Bai nodded repeatedly, "You're welcome, just take whatever you like! It's not worth growing it at home, but the stew is delicious!"
Su Liang wanted Aunt Bai to take her to the Su family's ancestral grave, but she didn't know where it was yet.
Aunt Bai took off her apron and went out with Su Liang. The two children have gone to school and are not at home right now. Mrs. Liu has given birth to three children, a chubby little girl who is still in her infancy.
"I heard from Xiaohu that Xiaoqi is very good at martial arts!" asked Aunt Bai.
Su Liang nodded, "That's right. Let him teach Xiaohu and Zhuzhu some kung fu to strengthen their bodies and defend themselves."
"Yes, that's great!" Aunt Bai looked grateful, "If you hadn't saved Xiaohu this time, our family would really be in trouble."
Yesterday, Su Bai specially told Su Liang not to tell so many inside stories to the Bai family, it was unnecessary. Now people are fine and everything is fine. Talking too much will make them think more and make them worry in the future.
After this time, Su Bai had already gone to the school and warned him that he could not go home alone after school in the future.
Even if a kidnapper comes to the village to catch children, he only dares to pick out the lone ones. Otherwise, if he grabs one and starts shouting at the other, he won't be able to escape.
Su Liang listened to Su Bai and said nothing more to Aunt Bai. If the Bai family knew that she had enemies who would threaten her children, they might not alienate her, but they would really be worried about her every day in the future.
When they arrived at the cemetery, they saw all the young people in the village busy, because this time it was Su Yuanzhou's family who was going to be buried.
Su Bai ran over and said, "It will be laid after noon! I originally said that I would ask you to come over and take a look after the tomb is ready."
"Thank you Uncle Bai, thank you all for your hard work. Please give me more wages." Su Liang said.
Su Bai frowned, "What are you talking about? Everyone in the village helps everyone with their affairs, how can anyone ask for money? You are treating us all as outsiders."
Su Liang was stunned for a moment, "Oh, my fault, pretend I didn't say anything."
Seeing Su Liang obediently admitting his mistake, Su Bai couldn't help but raise his forehead, "If you have nothing to do, just go back and rest. You can also go to the school to have a look. There is dust everywhere."
Qi Jun was working with the boys in the village and didn't notice Su Liang coming.
Su Liang just knew the way and went to the school with Aunt Bai.
Standing outside the window, Su Liang saw Bai Xiaohu, Zhu Zhu, and Er Niu, all writing seriously.
The two left quickly, and Aunt Bai looked pleased, "It's different after reading. I'm really lucky to have you."
Su Liang heard this a lot, and she just smiled every time.
First, he went to Bai's house and took dried beans and a jar of pickles made by Aunt Bai. Then Su Liang went home.
Gu Ling didn't come back until almost noon, carrying a large basket of things. In addition to the ribs, there were also some other fresh ingredients.
"Do you have to eat sweet and sour pork ribs? The dried beans at Mrs. Bai's house are very good. I brought some back. Why don't you make braised pork ribs and beans in rolls today? You liked it very much before." Su Liang discussed with Gu Ling.
"Dried beans?" Gu Ling picked it up and looked at it, "Can it still be eaten?"
Su Liang nodded, "Stay tuned."
"What are you keeping for?" Gu Ling pointed to the remaining pumpkin flesh from yesterday.
Su Liang asked him to take out all the flesh of the pumpkin and wash it, leaving only the seeds. He planned to fry the pumpkin seeds and eat them.
The pork ribs and beans stewed in rolls were eaten for lunch. After the ribs were stewed with dried beans, the taste was very special. Gu Ling liked it very much and asked Su Liang to bring over all the dried beans from Mrs. Bai's house.
After dinner, Gu Ling was washing the dishes, and Su Liang was handling the pumpkin seeds, "Should we go back early? Otherwise, Xiaonian will hate you."
Gu Ling shook his head, "I don't want to go back."
Su Liang nodded calmly, "That's your brother anyway. Yan Yu will never blame me."
"He listened to Yan Yu," Gu Ling said.
"That's true." Su Liang was joking originally, and Nian Jincheng certainly wouldn't really blame Gu Ling. They finally came back once, and if they were in a hurry to return to the capital, they didn't know when they would be able to come back next time.
Both Gu Ling and Su Liang were willing to help their friends, but it was not an urgent matter, and there was no need to sacrifice their hard-earned leisure time to help their friends.
The next day, Su Liang, wearing sackcloth and mourning, buried Su Yuanzhou's family in their ancestral grave. It turned out that Su Liang had her own coffin and tombstone, which she brought back with her, but Su Bai firmly disagreed with her willful behavior of building a grave for herself at a young age and living well. She felt that this was very unlucky.
Of course Su Bai had good intentions, but Su Liang's original intention was to set up a tomb for the original owner.
The night before, Su Liang put all the relics of the original owner that he had kept into Su Yuanzhou's coffin. Because the original owner lost her parents during her lifetime, her grandfather was the one who loved her the most.
According to the rules, no money was paid to the villagers who helped, and only a flowing feast was held on the day of the burial.
Su Liang's fried pumpkin seeds became Gu Ling's favorite snack. He wanted to dig out all the pumpkin seeds at home, but Su Liang stopped him in time, saying that the pumpkins could no longer be stored.
After that, Su Liang and Gu Ling lived in a small village house near mountains and rivers, and returned to rural life. Except that Gu Ling couldn't show up, everything else was the same as before.
There were too many children who wanted to learn martial arts from Qi Jun, so he simply went to the school to teach the children how to practice martial arts, just learning some basic moves.
This is a very meaningful and interesting thing. Qi Jun likes it very much. He quickly became involved with the children. In his free time, he followed the children to catch rabbits and find bird eggs, and had a great time climbing mountains and rivers.
…
Lonicera, who was ordered by Su Liang to go to the Yan Kingdom to retrieve Mu Ya's head, arrived at his destination five days ago. He spent two days to find out Mu Ya's daily whereabouts and found the opportunity to take action, but he has not yet taken action. .
Because Muya was pregnant, her belly was already pregnant and she could tell at a glance.
Lonicera has been hesitating whether to take action in such an unexpected situation. What if Su Liang doesn't want her to kill a pregnant woman?
After wandering around the capital of Yan Kingdom for several days, Lonicera finally chose to give up the mission and went back to Su Liang to report first, and then Su Liang made the decision. If Su Liang still wants to kill Mu Ya and doesn't care about one body and two lives, Lonicera will come again to take Mu Ya's head.
But it's not all without gain. Before Lonicera arrived, he knew that Qiu Ming's uncle Qiu Jianren was Muya's minion and one of the masterminds of the previous Gao Jiabao poisoning incident. Lonicera has been keeping an eye on Muya secretly, and on the day he was about to leave, he finally waited until Qiu Jianren showed up.
Lonicera turned its attention to Qiu Jianren, and after he was alone, he decisively killed him, cut off his head, wrapped it up, and threw the body into a mass grave, and then rushed back to Qian Kingdom day and night.
…
The capital of Qian Kingdom.
Yan Yu and Nian Jincheng came to the capital together, but at this time Yan Yu's entourage had "left", and the fact that she had a fiancé was not known to anyone. Nian Jincheng followed secretly.
According to the original plan, when Nian Jincheng arrived in the capital, he would find Gu Ling, and then set a date to restore his status. Gu Ling would be made a Marquis of Changxin, and Nian Jincheng might be reinstated as an official. Li Yu went to live with Su Liang, and then met Nian Jincheng again and got together according to Su Liang's arrangement.
Only after arriving in the capital did they know that Su Liang had returned to Bei'an County. There was no need to ask or check, of course Gu Ling went with him.
Nian Jincheng only complained about his brother a few times, but he didn't complain about Gu Ling's words and ignored him, but he complained that Gu Ling had not chased Su Liang until now, but still followed him like a shadow and refused to leave him for a moment. I simply couldn't figure out what he was thinking.
However, Nian Jincheng could only complain silently about the above, because Yan Yu didn't know that Gu Ling was the original Ning Jing. Nian Jincheng planned to find an opportunity to tell her, but he had to get Su Liang's consent first.
Although Su Liang was not here, Yan Yu still moved into the Su Mansion. This was what Su Liang had specifically asked Lin Xueqing to tell Yan Yu before leaving.
This also makes it easier for Nian Jincheng to hide. The Su Mansion is a big place and there are no people, so they can feel more comfortable living here.
At night, Yan Yu and Nian Jincheng walked hand in hand by the lake and admired the moon.
"Why hasn't Gu Ling shown up yet?" Yan Yu asked, "Is he not planning to come back? Is it safe for you to restore your identity yourself?"
Nian Jincheng smiled, "Just wait until Su Liang comes back." Someone is Su Liang's shadow, and he will naturally come back when the time comes. When they meet next time, Nian Jincheng plans to have a good talk with Gu. If he plans to become a monk, he should go early, otherwise he will marry Su Liang quickly. This is really worrying!
