Situ Yao learned that Su Liang was going to cook in person, so he quickly came to Hanxiangyuan. Google search reading
"Doctor Su, is the food at home not to your liking?" Situ Yao asked when she saw Su Liang.
A sumptuous meal is prepared for the guests, but the guests have to cook and eat it themselves. To a certain extent, it is a slap in the face of the host.
Su Liang smiled and explained, "The princess misunderstood. The food in Prince Yue's Mansion is very good. There is nothing I am not used to. I just want to cook something for Marquis Chang Xin that he likes."
Situ Yao was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "I see, Doctor Su is very kind to my cousin. What does my cousin like to eat? I asked him before, but he didn't tell me."
Su Liang shook his head, "This is a secret I used my good sisters to get from General Nian. I can't share it."
Situ Yao couldn't help laughing, "Then I won't ask anymore. Whatever Divine Doctor Su needs, just tell Gu Yue. Grandfather said that she should be at the disposal of Divine Doctor Su."
"Okay. Thank you Princess for the clothes and ointment." Su Liang said.
"Doctor Su is so polite." Situ Yao left after saying this, without saying that she wanted to watch Su Liang cook or taste Su Liang's craftsmanship.
We met only a few times, but Situ Yao's impression on Su Liang was very perfect like a "Yue King", with impeccable words and deeds. The same goes for Situ Xie's eldest grandson Situ Jing.
As a member of the royal family, whether he is wearing a mask or not, being able to maintain such an image proves that he is a smart person.
In comparison, Situ Min is somewhat lacking in "skill".
By the time Gu Yue delivered the ingredients Su Liang asked for, the servants of Prince Yue's Mansion had already packed up the kitchen and it was ready for use.
Su Liang asked as if unintentionally, "Is Third Young Master okay?"
Gu Yue shook his head, "I don't know. I'll go and ask."
Su Liang didn't stop him either. She was the one who "caused" Situ Min to be beaten, so she should show her "concern".
When Su Liang started kneading the dough, Gu Yue came back and explained Situ Min's condition in detail. He could only lie on his stomach and couldn't get out of bed. The imperial doctor came to change his dressing every day. He had a fever last night, but Already retreated now.
Su Liang sighed slightly, "If you need me to treat Third Young Master, just ask."
Gu Yue nodded, "Thank you, Doctor Su. I will report this to the prince."
Situ Xie's reply was that Situ Min was fine and it was not convenient for Su Liang to treat him, so he thanked her for her kindness.
Su Liang was not surprised by this result, and she didn't really want to give Situ Min medicine. It's just that after this, Situ Min should be able to feel the pride and ridicule from her as the "initiator" after learning about it.
Su Liang did it on purpose. If everyone in Prince Yue's Mansion was like Situ Xie and too calm, it would be difficult to find a breakthrough.
Sure enough, when Su Liang entered Ningxiangju with cooked dumplings, Situ Min was told that Su Liang asked about his situation and offered to treat him. He was instantly angry and knocked over the soup sent by his servant.
"Gu Hou, I made some food for you, can you come in?" Su Liang knocked on the door.
"No need." Gu Ling's cold voice came from the room.
Gu Ming stood at the entrance of the courtyard, looking at his eyes, nose and heart.
Su Liang knocked on the door again, "Gu Hou, the emperor has a message for you, I forgot it earlier. Please open the door."
Then the door opened, Su Liang went in, and closed the door from the inside, blocking the outside view.
Putting the dumplings on the table and the dipping sauce specially made for Gu Ling in front of him, Su Liang couldn't help but sigh, "If I had known that pursuing you was so tiring, I should have let you pursue me. So you make dumplings and beg me to eat them." "
Gu Ling glanced at Su Liang silently and picked up the chopsticks.
"I was wondering when you rejected me harshly, and then I gave up sadly, and then you regretted it, found out that you liked me, and then started to pursue me, but I refused to agree, haha!" Su Liang became more and more interesting as he talked, "If we really travel back to my original world, we can direct and star in a TV series."
Seeing Su Liang's happy expression, Gu Ling nodded slightly, "You have the final say."
"I'm kidding. It depends on the situation, and we'll talk if necessary. We're not acting for the sake of acting." Su Liang shook his head and found that Gu Ling had already eaten four dumplings, and quickly divided the dumplings in half with chopsticks.
This was just an extra meal, the main meal was prepared by Prince Yue's Mansion, so Su Liang didn't do much. She wanted to divide the dumplings equally according to the original number, but Gu Ling insisted on dividing them equally according to the current number of dumplings.
Of course, Su Liang was defeated in the end. Always like this.
After eating the dumplings, Su Liang got down to business, "I can also apply with Situ Xie to borrow books from Linglong Pavilion to read. But I think the machine diagram shouldn't be in there." Since all the young ladies in the Yue Prince's Mansion can go in and borrow books to read, , if even Gu Ling can go.
Gu Ling has been living in Prince Yue's Mansion for a while and has not found anyone suspected of being a descendant of the Mu family in the mansion.
…
When Su Liang returned to Hanxiang Courtyard, the ice-carved rabbit carved by Gu Ling was placed on the window sill outside her room. It was illuminated by a lantern and was as clear as crystal.
Su Liang sighed at how ingenious the master was. When she entered the door and saw the folding fan she placed on the table, it was a hidden weapon given to her by Gu Ling, and suddenly she had a plan in mind.
So, Su Liang went to Ningxiang Ju again on the pretext of looking for the fallen jade pendant.
"Master, I have an idea." Su Liang lowered his voice and said, "No one has seen the hidden weapon fan you gave me except Lonicera. How about I disguise myself and sell it, calling myself a descendant of the Mu family? Look. Will it attract anyone? "
Gu Ling shook his head, "No."
Su Liang frowned, "Is there any problem?"
"Your martial arts skills are too weak, keep it for self-defense." Gu Ling's face was calm. He made it by himself as a gift for Su Liang, and he couldn't sell it.
Su Liang was helpless, "Then what do you say?"
Gu Ling took out his fan, "Use mine."
Su Liang held his forehead, "Master, can you finish your words at once? I thought my plan was not feasible."
"I'll do it." Gu Ling said. Su Liang's figure is not easy to disguise, and it is easy for people to see that she is a woman, which will arouse suspicion.
"Okay." Su Liang turned around and went out, "Sorry to bother you. If Gu Hou is free tomorrow, let's go out together?"
Gu Ling's indifferent voice came from the room, "Not free."
Su Liang left with a "regretful" look on his face.
...
The next day, when Su Liang entered the palace, Gu Ling asked Gu Ming if there was a temple in the city.
In fact, Gu Ling knew there was. He came to Yaocheng a few years ago and went there secretly once.
"Qingjing Temple is very popular. Does the cousin want to go?" Gu Ming asked.
Gu Ling nodded, "Prepare the carriage."
Gu Ming quickly prepared the carriage and reported to Situ Xie.
When it was time to set off, Situ Jing appeared and wanted to accompany Gu Ling, and Gu Ling did not refuse.
"Cousin, are you going to Qingjing Temple to burn incense?" Situ Jing asked with a smile.
Gu Ling shook his head, "No."
"Are you going to see the scenery? The scenery of Qingjing Temple is also unique in Yaocheng." Situ Jing said.
Gu Ling shook his head again, "No."
"That is..." Situ Jing expressed curiosity.
"Find someone to play chess." Gu Ling's expression was indifferent.
Situ Jing was a little surprised, "Does my cousin know anyone in Qingjing Temple?"
Gu Ling shook his head, "No. Old monks are usually very good at chess."
Situ Jing couldn't help laughing, "I see. I heard that my cousin lived in the Huguo Temple in Ganguo for a long time. Is it convenient to play chess with the abbot?"
Gu Ling nodded slightly, "Yeah."
"I was joking. I didn't expect it to be true." Situ Jing sighed, "My cousin's chess skills must be very superb. Although I'm not good at chess, I still want to find an opportunity to learn from him. Grandfather also loves chess. If my cousin asks him to play chess, he will definitely be very happy."
"Okay." Gu Ling responded.
Yaocheng is mountainous, and the imperial palace is built on the mountain, but Qingjing Temple is not on the mountain. The architectural style is different from the temples in Ganguo. It is magnificent and very eye-catching. There is also a nine-story tower.
The carriage stopped at Qingjing Temple. Situ Jing accompanied Gu Ling in and went straight to find the abbot Master Xuanqing.
Master Xuanqing agreed to it happily after learning about Gu Ling's purpose.
Situ Jing sat next to him and watched Gu Ling and Master Xuanqing play chess. After two rounds, each won and lost.
Master Xuanqing was a good match, and Gu Ling had no intention of leaving. Situ Jing accompanied him for an hour, but finally couldn't sit still and said he had other things to do, so he left first.
…
After Su Liang went to the palace to give Situ Han acupuncture, he asked him to visit the Liangguo Palace, and got permission, and Situ Xie accompanied him in person.
The Liangguo Palace is a huge building complex, built in accordance with the terrain, with quite a few wonders. Listening to Situ Xie's introduction, Su Liang looked very seriously and praised from time to time.
When they arrived at the imperial garden of the Liangguo Palace, it was stepped, with rare plum blossoms of various colors in full bloom. There was also a greenhouse built in one place, in which many precious orchids were planted.
"Ling'er's mother loved to come here to play when she was a child." Situ Xie suddenly mentioned Situ Ning.
Su Liang looked very interested, "Why did the daughter of the King of Yue marry the father of Gu Hou?"
Situ Xie sighed deeply, "This is a long story. Didn't Ling'er tell you?"
Su Liang shook his head, "He doesn't like to talk, including to me."
"That child has been smart since childhood and has seen too much about the world. It's not that he doesn't know how to get along with others, but he just doesn't want to." Situ Xie's evaluation of Gu Ling was so accurate that it surprised Su Liang.
After sighing again, Situ Xie talked about the whole process of Situ Ning marrying Gu Yuan, and also mentioned Situ Xiang.
After Situ Xiang disappeared, Situ Ning had been asking about her whereabouts everywhere.
At that time, the two countries of Gan and Liang had been at war for a long time. The situation was originally favorable to Liang. Who knew that Xing Ji, the then Beijing King of Gan, single-handedly broke into the Liang army and captured the main general Wei Teng alive, leading to a major change in the war situation.
After the news reached Yaocheng, Situ Xie was ordered to supervise the battle.
Situ Ning sneaked out while Situ Xie was not at home, and went to find Situ Xiang disguised as a man.
When Situ Xie saw his beloved daughter again, she was in the army of Gan State, and was rescued by Gu Yuan, a young general of Gan State at that time.
Continuing to fight would be disadvantageous to Liang State, and the two sides mentioned marriage during the peace talks. Liang State had no princess of the right age, only one princess, Situ Ning.
"It's just that I was confused for a while. For the sake of the overall situation, I agreed to let Ning'er marry. She said she liked Gu Yuan, so I personally facilitated this marriage, and the former emperor of Gan State also agreed. At that time, I thought it was better than marrying into the royal family, and she and Gu Yuan were in love. Who knew that Gu Yuan was ambitious, causing Ning'er to die of illness, and plotting a rebellion, so that I almost couldn't even see my only grandson." Situ Xie mentioned Gu Yuan with an angry tone.
It was the first time that Su Liang heard that Xing Ji was involved in this. However, Xing Ji had no direct relationship with the marriage between Gu Yuan and Situ Ning.
Looking at Gu Ling's appearance, it was clear that Gu Yuan must be good-looking, otherwise he would not be in Situ Ning's eyes.
However, Su Liang was skeptical about the story told by Situ Xie. Especially about Gu Yuan's rebellion, Situ Xie might have been behind it, but it was impossible to verify it now.
"I heard that the Hanxiang Courtyard where I live is the former residence of Situ Xiang, the adopted daughter of the King of Yue. After so many years, there is still no news about her?" Su Liang asked.
Situ Xie shook his head, "I have looked everywhere I can, but there is still no news. I just hope she is alive and well, nothing else."
"There is something I don't understand. Since this is the result of Gu Ling's mother's marriage, why did the King of Yue send his only granddaughter to marry into the Gan Kingdom, and marry into the royal family of the Gan Kingdom?" Su Liang asked Situ Xie.
Situ Xie smiled bitterly, "It is difficult to disobey the emperor's order."
Su Liang: ...I don't believe you...
"This king also hopes that Gan and Liang can live in peace for a long time." Situ Xie sighed, "After the New Year, Yao'er will marry Gan. I hope Dr. Su will take good care of her."
Su Liang said seriously, "Don't worry, King Yue. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is a decent person and will not let Princess Yaoguang suffer any grievances."
After visiting the Liang Palace, Su Liang returned to the King of Yue's Mansion and asked where Gu Ling was as soon as he entered the door.
Knowing that Gu Ling had gone to Qingjing Temple and had not returned yet, Su Liang turned around and went there.
Gu Ling did not return from Qingjing Temple until the evening, and Su Liang followed behind.
The next day, Peng Fan came to invite Su Liang to visit Peng's Mansion tomorrow, and Su Liang readily agreed.
Gu Ling went to Qingjing Temple again to play chess with Master Xuanqing for a whole day, but Situ Jing did not go with him this time.
On the third day, after Su Liang entered the palace to give Situ Han acupuncture, he went to Peng's house.
Gu Ling went to Qingjing Temple as he did the previous two days.
On that day, a piece of news spread quickly in Yaocheng. A mysterious young man who claimed to be the descendant of the former dynasty's master craftsman Mu went to the Treasure Pavilion and sold a hidden weapon folding fan for a high price of five thousand taels of silver!
When Su Liang received the news, he was chatting with Peng Wei.
"Really?" Peng Wei stood up in shock after hearing what Peng Fan said, "I have to go and see!" After he finished speaking, he remembered that Su Liang was still there, and hurriedly called her, "Girl, hurry up, come with me to see!"
Su Liang followed him out and asked, "What does the master craftsman Mu do?"
"You don't even know this, you are still too young, the former dynasty's Mu was quite powerful!" Peng Wei told Su Liang about how exquisite things the Mu family had made, but unfortunately they are now lost.
"Grandpa, could it be that the man lied about being a descendant of the Mu family in order to sell at a high price?" Peng Fan asked.
Peng Wei nodded, "Of course there is such a possibility. If he is really a descendant of the Mu family, it would be incredible!"
"The Treasure Pavilion failed to keep the person, he must be a master." Peng Fan said.
Su Liang half-jokingly said, "Didn't Mr. Peng say that I can't repay my great kindness? How about buying that precious fan for me? I really want it."
Peng Wei was shocked, "Okay! Hurry! If you go too late, it will be robbed!"
...
Yaocheng Treasure Pavilion was surrounded by people.
Peng Wei dragged Su Liang and squeezed through the crowd to go in, and saw Situ Xie had arrived, holding an exquisite folding fan in his hand, which had not yet been opened.
After Peng Wei saluted Situ Xie, he looked at the treasure shopkeeper, "Has the King of Yue bought it?"
The shopkeeper shook his head subconsciously, and Peng Wei clapped his hands, "That's great! I want it! Five thousand taels of silver will be delivered immediately! The King of Yue wants to taste it, just look! I bought it for my lifesaver, Dr. Su!"
Situ Xie paused, and Su Liang smiled, "Thank you, Mr. Peng, then I will accept it. I will give it to the Marquis of Changxin, I hope he will like it."
The treasure shopkeeper of the treasure shop was sweating. Originally, he got a treasure, even if it was not from the hands of the descendants of the Mu family, he could make a lot of money by disassembling it and making a batch of copies, but who knew that so many big shots would be attracted.
In full view of the public, Peng Wei handed the silver note to the shopkeeper, and Situ Xie had to give the fan to Su Liang.
There was an old man with a hunched back in the crowd. He fixed his eyes on Su Liang for a moment, turned around, and staggered away...
