Late Night Visitor

The owner of the stall selling sugar-roasted chestnuts insisted on giving Su Liang a bag of chestnuts that had just come out of the pot, and Su Liang accepted it with a smile.

The news that Su Liang saved a child at the market spread quickly. Wherever they went, they could see the kind smiles from the simple people and hear their praise.

And Su Liang asked the stall owner selling chestnuts for an empty paper bag for Gu Ling to hold. She peeled chestnuts while walking, gave the first one to Gu Ling, ate the second one herself, and threw the chestnut shell into the paper bag in Gu Ling's hand.

You one, I one, fragrant and sweet, looking very harmonious.

Rendong, who was returning from delivering the stone, looked at their backs and felt that they were a perfect match made in heaven. She hoped that Lady Gu would be nicer to her master.

They bought a lot of things, in addition to New Year's goods, there were also some special snacks from the Liangguo market. Most of them were shared by Su Liang and Gu Ling on the spot, which was quite down-to-earth.

It seemed that Su Liang took the initiative to give it to Gu Ling. There was no desire for food on his face, and he didn't smile at all after eating.

But Su Liang knew best that Gu Ling must want to eat more than her, but the character setting has always been there and cannot be destroyed. The two of them are still acting.

After visiting the market, they were full, and the carriage was filled with things Su Liang bought.

"It's not too late, how about we walk back?" Su Liang asked Gu Ling. There was no room in the carriage.

Rendong hurriedly said, "I will send the things back first, and then come to pick up the master and the marquis."

"Okay." Gu Ling said.

Rendong was stunned, not knowing whether Gu Ling was answering Su Liang "walk back" or "come and pick up" and looked at Su Liang.

Su Liang smiled, "You go back, no need to come again. Let's just walk around."

Rendong nodded without listening to what Gu Ling said, jumped on the carriage, and drove away alone.

"Fairy sister! Fairy sister!"

A child's voice came from behind. Su Liang turned around and saw a man in a tiger hat running towards him.

Su Liang smiled and leaned over to hug the child who rushed over.

The child held a string of bright red candied haws in his hand, his eyes sparkling, and handed it to Su Liang like offering a treasure, "For fairy sister to eat!"

The man with the child stood by, looking a little terrified, "Master Su, the child is ignorant..."

Su Liang took the candied haws with a smile, "Thank you."

The child clapped his hands happily when he saw Su Liang accept it, and jumped back to find his father.

The man breathed a sigh of relief and thanked Su Liang again.

"Be careful when you take your child out in the future." Su Liang left a word and turned away.

After turning the corner, Su Liang handed the candied haws in his hand to Gu Ling, "It should belong to you."

Gu Ling took it and held it in his hand without eating it.

Everyone who saw it thought the scene was magical. The cold and aloof Lady Gu and the Tanghulu were full of disharmony, but it didn't affect the beauty at all...

The last time the two of them went out late at night to take a walk, they visited many places, but it was pitch black everywhere.

The gloomy weather cleared up, and the two walked side by side in the streets and alleys of Yaocheng. Su Liang told Gu Ling the story he had not finished before.

The cold wind blew on his face, but he didn't feel cold walking all the time.

Su Liang liked the feeling of walking around in a strange place.

Gu Ling also liked it. He would not feel bored even if he was with Su Liang until the end of time. The scene he saw was something he had seen before, but what he had seen before was gray and cold, without color. At this moment, he felt that everything around him was vivid and colorful.

"That's all for today. If I continue, my mouth will dry." Halfway through the journey, Su Liang asked Gu Ling to take over, "Tell me about the stories of the people you have saved."

Gu Ling was not used to talking so much, but after serious thinking, he started from the first time he saw a person's forehead turn black when he was a child. He thought that as long as Su Liang was willing to listen, he would tell all the experiences of the people he had saved and killed in order.

However, Su Liang thought that Gu Ling's experience would be very exciting to talk about, and Gu Ling also thought so. In the end, he finished the story of saving a person in just a few words...

Things that happened in reality are naturally not as many coincidences and logically rigorous causes and effects as in novels. Most of the time, Gu Ling saw the "black fog" and stared at someone, and it would not exceed three days at most. Most of the time, he would solve the problem on the same day and then leave. Many people he saved did not even know what he had done.

At this moment, Gu Ling also realized that he was willing to talk, but there was nothing to say, because he did not even know many of the people he had saved, but just met them.

Just like the kid just now, if he told someone who wasn't there, it would only take a few words. He didn't know the father and son, and didn't know where they came from.

Gu Ling was wondering if Su Liang would find him boring, but Su Liang had already started talking about something else and didn't ask him to continue, "I don't know what secrets the person who suddenly sent me a note knew about me."

Gu Ling felt that if there was another time traveler in the world, he might regard Su Liang as an enemy.

"If he is really your fellow villager, you can deny it and just say that I taught you everything." Gu Ling said.

Su Liang sighed, "That's a way, it's a roundabout way, and you will have more initiative."

"You have to teach me more things." Gu Ling said.

Su Liang readily agreed, "Of course. Master, are you interested in anything? But I don't understand a lot of things."

Gu Ling thought for a while and said, "I'll learn to cook from you."

Su Liang was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help thinking, is Gu Ling planning to break up? When he learned how to cook, Su Liang felt that Gu Ling didn't need her anymore. One of the important reasons why Gu Ling asked her to stay was that he liked the food she cooked.

Gu Ling was thinking that it was too hard for her to always let Su Liang cook. And Su Liang once said that she had a saying in her previous life, "If you want to capture a man's heart, you have to capture his stomach first." He felt that there was no difference between men and women in this regard. His stomach had been firmly captured, and his heart had also been captured, so he wanted to "reverse capture" and try.

"No?" Gu Ling asked.

Su Liang nodded immediately, "Why not? Very good! I have said for a long time that you have the potential to become a chef god."

"Okay. Let's start today." Gu Ling said. Now he and Su Liang have a chance to be alone, and no one is watching him when he returns to Prince Ning's Mansion. In addition to confessing to Su Liang, he has always done whatever he wants.

…

Ren Dong drove back to the Ning Wang Mansion, delivered all the things Su Liang bought to the main courtyard, and then went back to her own courtyard to paste the window paper-cuts that Su Liang gave her yesterday.

Ren Dong didn't know that it was cut by Gu Ling, and thought it was cut by Su Liang. While pasting it, she thought that her master was really clever and beautiful.

Situ Xie sent someone to invite Gu Ling and Su Liang to attend the family dinner at the Yue Wang Mansion tonight. Ren Dong said that they had gone out and had not returned yet, and she would tell them when the time came, and the person left.

When Su Liang and Gu Ling walked across half of Yaocheng and returned to the Ning Wang Mansion, it was already evening.

"No." Gu Ling said.

Su Liang "translated", "Ren Dong, go to the Yue Wang Mansion and say that Gu Hou and I are tired today, and will go to visit the Yue Wang another day, and ask them to forgive you. Then you can go to the restaurant for dinner."

Ren Dong took the order, rode out of the mansion, and went to the Yue Wang Mansion.

Back at the main courtyard, Su Liang asked Gu Ling, "Master, what do you want to do today?"

"I don't know." Gu Ling said, "You decide."

"Then let's make sweet and sour fish." Su Liang said, "We still have a lot of fish from the day before."

...

Su Liang chose a fat fish, and Gu Ling took it out of the basin, followed her instructions, stun it with a knife, and began to scrape the scales.

Su Liang stood by, and every time he saw Gu Ling wearing her little red apron, he couldn't help but want to laugh, "Master, since you are interested in things you haven't done before, do you want to learn needlework? Make an apron for yourself first."

Gu Ling looked down at the "little red skirt" with a faint expression, "It's good as long as it can be used."

Su Liang nodded, "Master, I like that you look like you are floating in the sky, and you are very pragmatic in your words and deeds."

Gu Ling: ... He only wanted to hear the first six words...

In fact, Su Liang has always cooked, and Gu Ling has been cooking and helping. He knows many steps, but he is not so sure, and except for making dumplings, he has hardly done anything else by himself.

But Su Liang said long ago that Gu Ling can even make dumplings so well, and he is very talented in cooking.

This is indeed the case.

Su Liang kept the fire and gave instructions, and finally Gu Ling cooked a very perfect sweet and sour fish. The taste is almost the same as Su Liang's, and the appearance is even better.

Su Liang gave a thumbs up, "Master, you can become a master now."

"You don't know anything else." Gu Ling said that it didn't matter whether he became a master or not. Cooking together in the kitchen was his favorite activity.

"I learned it very quickly." Su Liang chuckled, "With your talent, you can try to create some new dishes."

Gu Ling had exactly this idea. It would be best if he could research some secret recipes that only he could make and that Su Liang loved to eat.

The two shared a fish. After dinner, Su Liang washed the dishes and boiled water. The original division of labor was reversed. Su Liang only had a flash of thought about Gu Ling's learning to cook by himself, which might be a plan to break up the partnership, and then he put it behind his mind and decided to let it go.

...

Prince Yue's Mansion.

Situ Xie has been in a bad mood recently.

At first, Mu Yu joined him, and he was overjoyed. Unfortunately, the secret record of the mechanism that he wanted most turned out to be only half, and it was all incomplete.

I thought that it would be a matter of time before Mu Yu was there to lead out his master. When the folding fan appeared, Situ Xie once thought that it was really old man Mu who came, but the series of events that happened afterwards simply made him confused.

The auction of the Treasure Pavilion was clearly a trap designed by Situ Xie, but unfortunately, it did not achieve any purpose in the end. Su Liang did not pay a penny, and he did not get a penny either. The original half of the secret record of the mechanism fell into the hands of Situ Han.

Situ Xie sent people to keep an eye on the Ning Wang Mansion. That night, the spy saw Su Liang and Gu Ling go out, but they did not enter the palace or go to the Prince's Mansion and went back. It was obvious that they found out that there was a spy and deliberately took them around.

He invited Gu Ling and Su Liang to the mansion for a banquet today, but was also rejected.

"Grandfather, I'm afraid we need to think about the secret record for a long time." Situ Jing sighed, "As long as Mu Yu's master knows that he is in the Yue Palace, he will definitely come to find him."

Situ Xie's face was gloomy, "Wrong!"

Situ Jing frowned, "Did my grandson say it wrong?"

"Very wrong!" Situ Xie clenched his fist, "That auction should not have happened at all!"

Situ Jing was stunned for a moment, "At this point, it doesn't matter..."

Situ Xie said coldly, "Have you ever thought that if Mu Heng really came to Yaocheng, he would not come to the Yue Palace to find me, but go to the palace?"

Situ Jing thought for a moment, his expression changed drastically, "Wouldn't that let the emperor know that the descendants of the Mu family had already surrendered to grandfather, but grandfather concealed it?"

Of course Situ Jing didn't know that Situ Xie was Situ Han's biological father. At the moment, he just felt that things were bad. They really shouldn't reveal Mu Yu's existence, even if it was a pseudonym, but Mu Yu's master knew it as soon as he heard it, let alone Take out half of the secret book!

"It's all my grandson's fault. He was confused and ruined something big." Situ Jing looked ugly. At that time, he gave Situ Xie a lot of suggestions.

The grandfather and grandson had originally assumed that the secret record would be bought by Su Liang. In this way, they can not only bring trouble to Su Liang, but also gain huge amounts of money.

Unfortunately, it was a beautiful idea, but it backfired.

"Su Liang..." Situ Xie said the name coldly, "Did she already know something?"

Situ Jing didn't dare to talk nonsense, but he also felt that Su Liang was very disguised and looked smart, but in fact it was all insignificant matters. In serious matters, she never suffered.

"Can Su Liang really get married to Gu Ling in Liang Kingdom? Will anyone come to stop it?" Situ Jing asked.

Situ Xie narrowed his eyes slightly, "I know a big secret of theirs, and I'm wondering whether to reveal it to Emperor Qian."

Situ Jing was curious about what the secret was, but Situ Xie shook his head and said to himself, "No, now is not a good time, wait a little longer."

…

It was night, before going to bed, Su Liang was still thinking about how to teach Gu Ling what to cook tomorrow.

Gu Ling heard footsteps next door, then quieted down, knowing that Su Liang had fallen asleep. He was not sleepy yet, so he sat at the table and painted. What he painted was the scene where Su Liang flew to save the child in the bustling market today.

Halfway through the painting, I suddenly heard a sound coming from the back window, as if a stone had been thrown on it.

Gu Ling's eyes narrowed slightly, he put away the painting, stood up and went out, chasing a dark shadow into the garden.

When he saw the black shadow, he knew who it was. Otherwise, he would not leave Su Liang alone.

Standing on the ice lake, the two holes Su Liang dug for ice fishing the day before were frozen solid again.

The visitor stopped and turned around, looked at Gu Ling, and said with a smile, "Xiao Gu, I heard that you are getting married, so my sister is here."

Gu Ling's face was calm, "Yuan Ying."

Yuan Ying was wearing a cloak and only half of her golden mask was exposed. She said in a faint tone, "The last time you asked me for medicine, it was for that girl named Su, right? She is only sixteen years old? So you just dislike me for being older than you?" I'm only three years older than you."

The antidote thing is actually easy to check. It was Su Liang's friend Gao Jiabao who was poisoned at the time.

Gu Ling still didn't speak, Yuan Ying hummed, "But sister, I am not the unreasonable person. You agreed to the original condition. By coincidence, I happened to be in Liang Kingdom and came here after getting the news. You are Can you invite that little girl out now and show me your feelings, or should you wait until tomorrow to introduce her to me?"
