Disciples Have a Great Harvest
Lin Xueqing gave birth more than a month earlier than Su Liang.
Although Su Liang checked Lin Xueqing's pulse regularly and the pulse was stable, on the day of delivery, Xing Yusheng was so nervous that she insisted on inviting Su Liang to sit in the middle of the night, so Gu Ling accompanied her.
Su Liang was sitting in the delivery room. She felt that her main task was to give everyone reassurance, but she was also prepared for any unexpected surprises.
Gu Ling was sitting in the courtyard waiting when he saw Xing Yusheng walking back and forth in front of his eyes like an ant on a hot pot. She didn't ask him to sit down, but asked him how he was feeling now.
"I'm so anxious! I'm so scared!" Xing Yusheng was sweating on his forehead, clenching his hands together, his voice was like tight strings, and he looked like he might break at any time.
Gu Ling suddenly stood up and walked over, handed Xing Yusheng a pill, "Take this."
Xing Yusheng retreated subconsciously, "I won't eat! You won't let me in, and you still want to knock me down?"
Lin Shuzhi and Xing Ji, who were sitting not far away, both looked over when they heard the sound. They were also very nervous, especially Lin Shuzhi. Xing Ji started talking about the situation in the world, but Lin Shuzhi couldn't think normally at all, and the chat was fragmented.
"It's just candy." Gu Ling said.
Xing Yusheng took it with an inexplicable expression and put it in his mouth. A fresh sweetness filled the air. It was really sugar.
Gu Ling gave Lin Shuzhi and Xing Ji another candy pill each. He improved on Su Liang's formula and made it himself.
Sweets can temporarily relieve a person's anxiety and stress. Gu Ling specially brought it with her before going out, thinking it might be useful.
Lin Boyan and Lin Bojun brothers who came later were also favored by Gu Ling.
Xing Yusheng felt a little better, just a little bit, but his tight breathing returned to normal.
Xing Ji sighed, "Xiao Gu is really a talent." He was very considerate. He came here in the middle of the night and brought sugar pills with him. He must have prepared them for them.
Lin Shuzhi nodded, "Genius." He kept staring at the closed door, listening to what was going on inside, but couldn't hear anything.
"As long as Xiao Liang is here, everything will be fine!" Lin Bojun patted Xing Yusheng's shoulder to comfort him, but in the end, Xing Yusheng was knocked to the ground.
Lin Boyan pulled Xing Yusheng up with a look of helplessness. Their brothers are all fathers, so they can understand Xing Yusheng's mood at this moment. And they are all concerned about their most precious sister.
After handing out the candy, Gu Ling sat back and suddenly said to Xing Yusheng, "I can accept your son as my disciple."
Everyone looked at Gu Ling, wondering why he suddenly said this on a whim.
Then Gu Ling said to Lin Boyan and Lin Bojun, "And your sons, please also worship me as your teacher."
This is certainly a good thing. Lin Shuzhicai commented that Gu Ling was a genius.
Lin Boyan and Lin Bojun both expressed that they wished for it and that it was settled and they could not go back on it.
Xing Yusheng nodded absently, "Okay! Qing'er should be very happy, she thinks you are the most powerful! No, the most powerful is Su Liang..." Before he finished speaking, he diverted his attention and temporarily turned away the child who was about to be born. The fact that his son would become one of Gu Ling's apprentices was forgotten.
Lin Xueqing's cry of pain came from the room. The faces of the Lin family, father and son all turned pale, and Xing Yusheng almost fainted.
The calmest person was Gu Ling. He knew that nothing would happen.
At this moment, Gu Ling was thinking that he could practice delivering babies to animals, such as horses and cows, and test the caesarean section technique taught by Su Liang if necessary. When Su Liang gives birth, he must avoid all possible accidents, and any possible problems must be considered in advance and made plans.
It was very cold outside in the middle of the night, so the servants brought a charcoal pot and hot water.
Gu Ling drank a glass of water and gave Xing Yusheng a sugar pill to prevent him from fainting.
Waiting until it was getting dark, the loud cry of a baby finally came out, breaking the tense atmosphere in the courtyard, and everyone had smiles on their faces.
Lin Shuzhi finally dared to speak out and asked at the top of his lungs, "How is Qing'er?"
Mrs. Xing's excited voice came from inside, "Okay! Mother and son are safe!"
Xing Ji supported Lin Shuzhi and said, "Congratulations on becoming a grandpa."
Lin Shuzhi breathed a long sigh of relief, "Congratulations, you are now a grandfather."
Xing Yusheng was finally able to go in. It was Old Mrs.
Xing Yusheng and Lin Xueqing's son was wrapped in swaddling clothes and carried to the door. Lin Shuzhi and Xing Ji's eyes gleamed as they looked at it.
Lin Boyan and Lin Bojun said in unison, "Like me."
A nephew is like an uncle. Gu Ling looked at it and saw that the newborn baby's features looked exactly like his two uncles. Lin Bojun's son also somewhat resembles Qin Yujin's eldest brother Qin Yuheng.
Just as he was thinking about it, Mr. Qin also arrived. When he entered the door, he asked, "Are you giving birth? Is Xue Qing okay?"
Xing Yusheng is Mr. Qin's only grandson, and this newborn baby is his great-grandson. He smiled from ear to ear when he learned that mother and son were safe.
The child was quickly carried in again. Mr. Qin turned around and noticed that Gu Ling was there, and asked him whether Su Liang was carrying a son or a daughter.
Gu Ling shook his head, "Keep it secret."
"Really! You're still pretending!" Mr. Qin glared at Gu Ling. Although I didn't say it, everyone actually wanted Su Liang to have a daughter because there were too many boys...
When Su Liang came out, she was hugged by Gu Ling, caressed her pregnant belly, and asked her if she was hungry.
"A little sleepy." Su Liang said and yawned, "Let's go home."
…
After returning home and washing up briefly, Su Liang went to catch up on her sleep.
When she woke up, it was almost noon, and Gu Ling was sitting by the bed, carving a new small wooden sword.
"Who is this for?" Su Liang didn't get up, leaned outside, and asked sleepily.
Then I heard Gu Ling start to read, "Zheng'er, Ji Xiaobai, Lin Jingyun, Lin Jingxuan, and Xing Xiaoyu are all my disciples."
Su Liang blinked, "Ji Xiaobai... Ji Yuebai's son's nickname is this? Xing Xiaoyu... who named it?"
Gu Ling shook his head, "I don't know what Ji Xiaobai and Xing Xiaoyu's names are. They're just code names. Just know who they are."
Su Liang: ...That's true, it's obvious.
Lin Jingyun and Lin Jingxuan are the names of Lin Shuzhi's two grandsons.
"When did you take on so many apprentices? Why? Do you plan to turn our home into a martial arts gym?" Su Liang discovered that Gu Ling had taken in all the babies from relatives and friends at once.
Gu Ling looked serious, "We will grow old and we can't stay with the baby forever. She needs to be protected by her brother."
If the wooden sword that Li Hong gave to Ji Xiaobai that day was just a whim of Gu Ling, it was not the case this time. He saw brothers Lin Boyan and Lin Bojun standing guard outside Lin Xueqing's room last night, and felt that his precious daughter could not survive without her brother, and one was not enough.
But Gu Ling and Su Liang couldn't give their daughter a brother, so they had to find one.
Even if Gu Ling doesn't accept apprentices, those boys are still the brothers of his baby, but he decided to train them to develop in all aspects of civil and military development from an early age. Otherwise, how can he have to protect them from his daughter when something happens?
Just like now, many of Su Liang's friends look to her to solve problems, even though some of them are her brothers in name. Gu Ling didn't blame them, they were also his friends, it was just a fact. And he had to make plans early to prevent his daughter from being as tired as Su Liang when she grew up.
After listening to Gu Ling's explanation, Su Liang gave a thumbs up, "Master, you really have a long-term vision. I support it."
Of course, he said it was for his daughter, but it was actually because Gu Ling liked children very much. Even if these boys he said he wanted to take on as disciples did not become his disciples, they were still under the care of him and Su Liang.
Su Liang, who suddenly had five apprentices, felt that her family would become more and more lively when her daughter was born. She could imagine Gu Ling taking a group of little buns to fish, go fishing, play in the lake, play and practice martial arts in the future. She was looking forward to it.
On the day of Lin Xueqing's son's third bath, Gu Ling and Su Liang went to the Zhongxinhou Mansion for a banquet and saw Miao's son Xing Yuyang returning. He had lost a lot of weight and was following Xing Ji listlessly. He only opened his mouth when someone greeted him, and he was in a fugue the rest of the time.
Today, Duanmu Chen specially accompanied Xing Yuyan back to her parents' home, giving her enough face. Xing Yuyan was pregnant and became more and more delicate. However, as a queen, she also had the capital of being delicate. As long as she didn't behave like a monster, Su Liang didn't bother to care about her.
…
Su Liang and Gu Ling entered the palace again. Duanmu Chen sent Chang'an to invite them.
"I heard that you have accepted the two children of the Lin family and Xing Yusheng's son as your disciples?" Duanmu Chen asked Gu Ling.
Gu Ling nodded.
"Then my son will learn martial arts in the future, and I will ask you to teach him." Duanmu Chen smiled, thinking that since Gu Ling likes to accept disciples so much, it would be unreasonable not to accept his son. With a master-disciple relationship, why shouldn't he treat his son as half a son?
Who would have thought that Gu Ling shook his head and refused directly, "The prince's body is precious, so I don't dare."
Duanmu Chen's face turned a little dark, "It's not that I'm unwilling, it's that I don't dare? What are you afraid of?"
Gu Ling remained silent.
Duanmu Chen hummed softly, "I know what you mean. There is no one who can learn martial arts without hardship. I'm afraid that my son will be spoiled and too weak. When the time comes, you can just practice, you're welcome."
Gu Ling then nodded, "That's fine."
"Good means good, no matter what?" Duanmu Chen complained, "That's it! Su Liang, bear witness!"
Su Liang chuckled, "No problem." She felt that if Gu Ling took Duanmu Chen's son as his apprentice and Ji Yuebai's son as his senior brother, perhaps many things in the future would become easier because of them.
Duanmu Chen came to them not for his son's apprenticeship, but because he was considering allowing Duanmu Yi to recover and asked Su Liang and Gu Ling for their opinions.
"It's been several months. We can't keep doing this for the next ten or eight years." Duanmu Chen sighed slightly. His throne was secure, and he couldn't bear to kill Duanmu Yi, so he kept him lying half-dead, feeling that this was not a long-term solution.
Gu Ling shook his head, "That's inappropriate."
Duanmu Yi is in his prime, and he will definitely not be willing to be overtaken by Duanmu Chen. Even if he surrenders for a moment, if he really recovers and can contact the outside world, something may happen.
Duanmu Chen explained, "Don't get me wrong. I'm talking about letting my father recover somewhat, not completely. Now he can only lie down. Is it possible for him to sit up and be pushed out in a wheelchair to bask in the sun? This is I think the Queen Mother’s idea can be considered, what do you think?”
Su Liang: ...Duanmu Chen is filial, but not too much...
Gu Ling nodded, "I'll try." He was always "healing" Duanmu Yi.
When Gu Ling went to give Duanmu Yi acupuncture, Su Liang proposed to go see Ji Yueyan, and Duanmu Chen asked Chang An to accompany her there.
Ji Yueyan was wearing an alizarin red dress and was sitting by the window doing a pinup. Her profile was calm and beautiful. Occasionally her eyes got sore and she looked up out the window. The evergreen trees in the courtyard also looked gray in winter. , the color is dim. Unlike the Yan Kingdom, there is no winter and the plants are always luxuriant, but it is boring to look at for a long time.
When Ji Yueyan looked out the window again, she saw a familiar figure appear in her sight. She was delighted, put down her things in her hands, and went out to meet him.
It has been a few months since she married to the country of Gan. Ji Yueyan's days in the deep palace are very lonely. Every time Su Liang came to see her, she felt that the sky was brighter.
"Didn't Gu Hou accompany you to the palace?" Ji Yueyan was just a little surprised. Every time Su Liang appeared before, Gu Ling was there.
"He is in the palace, he has something to do." Su Liang didn't say that, and was helped into the door by Ji Yueyan, "What are you doing?"
Ji Yueyan picked up the unfinished needlework to show Su Liang. It was a small hat with exquisite workmanship and beautiful embroidery. It was to be given to the baby in Su Liang's belly.
"Your needlework is really good." Su Liang praised sincerely.
Ji Yueyan smiled, "I don't have anything else to show."
"Don't stay up late, it hurts your eyes." Su Liang put down the half-embroidered hat, took the warm water handed by Ji Yueyan, and didn't drink it, "I'm fine, just came to take a look. Since Rendong and Qi Jun went to the south, the house has been a little quiet."
Ji Yueyan's face straightened, and when she heard Su Liang mention Rendong, Qi Jun and the south, she couldn't help but sit up straight.
"The letter from the south the day before yesterday said that everything was fine. They went there, which made Lin Xi feel a lot more relaxed. They are all talented people, but there are still many things to learn. They will definitely not be able to come back for the New Year this year." Su Liang smiled.
Ji Yue looked at Su Liang with gratitude, "They can have such an opportunity, thanks to you."
Su Liang was talking about Qi Jun and Rendong, and Ji Yueyan was listening to Bai Yang.
After sitting for a while, Gu Ling came to pick Su Liang up.
...
Li Hong traveled a long distance and finally returned to Xiangyue City in Yan State. When he saw Ji Yuebai, he was holding a cane and training his son to do horse stance.
The sickly and gentle prince of Yan State in the eyes of outsiders was swinging the cane and yelling at his five-year-old son, "Don't move, I'll beat you if you move again!"
The little boy had very white skin, and his black eyes were as smart and cunning as the best obsidian. At this moment, he pursed his lips, pushed his little hands forward, bent his legs, and trembled a little, looking quite pitiful.
Li Hong's mouth twitched, and he walked forward quickly, "Prince."
Ji Yuebai saw Li Hong, and his face softened instantly, "Master is back. Is this trip going well? Did you see Gu Ling? Is his wife about to give birth?"
Li Hong silently waved his hand at the little boy who looked at him for help, indicating that he should run away secretly.
The little boy understood, slowly put down his hand, retracted his foot, turned around and ran away.
Ji Yuebai heard it, but didn't turn around. He listened to Li Hong talking about business first. His expression gradually became serious, and then relaxed. "Then let's wait for Situ Xie to send someone to tell us. Is Mrs. Gu pregnant with a boy or a girl?"
Li Hong shook his head, indicating that he didn't know, and then took out the gift that Gu Ling gave to Ji Yuebai's son.
Ji Yuebai was a little surprised, "Is it for my son?" He opened it and saw a delicate little wooden sword inside. He immediately took it in his hand, turned around and raised it to the little boy who climbed up the tree swiftly, and said with a smile, "Come here! This is a gift from your master. From now on, you will be his family! I will never teach you martial arts again. Go to his house to climb trees!"
