A Blessing in Disguise

The old man stood up quickly, "Dr. Su is too modest, I don't deserve your advice. I came here this time to learn from you." He saw Su Liang's beautiful face, clear eyes, and extraordinary demeanor, and he couldn't help but feel a good impression.

"Hurry up and sit down. No need to be polite." Su Liang smiled. "Senior Wen, just call me by my name. Divine doctor and ghost doctor are just empty names. No one is a great immortal. But since you have entered this path, you should do your best to live up to the name of a doctor."

The old man Wen clapped his hands. "My friend and I have the same idea!"

Wen Ran couldn't help laughing. Seeing Su Liang looking at him, he showed a little shyness, but his eyes were still generous and bright. "My grandfather has long wanted to visit Divine Doctor Su. Today, we hit it off. I'm afraid he wishes that Divine Doctor Su was his granddaughter!"

"Ahem!" The old man Wen coughed lightly. "Ran'er, don't talk nonsense."

Wen Ran blinked at Su Liang. Su Liang curled his lips slightly. "It's my honor."

Qi Yan brought hot tea and snacks. Su Liang asked the Wen family's grandparents if they were hungry and if they needed to go to the guest house to rest first.

Wen Ran's stomach growled, and Old Man Wen said with a smile, "I haven't walked such a long way for many years. I'm old, so I need to eat something and sleep."

After Su Liang gave the order, Qi Yan quickly went to prepare.

While waiting, Old Man Wen asked Wen Ran to take out the gift he was going to give to Su Liang.

Wen Ran untied the bundle, took out an oil paper package from it, and unwrapped three layers of thick oil paper, and Su Liang saw what it was.

The two books looked a bit old, but they were well preserved, with only slight wear on the cover.

Wen Ran handed them over, and Su Liang took them. Her eyes lit up. They turned out to be the long-lost "Thousand Poison Prescriptions" and "Thousand Gold Prescriptions for Detoxification"! She didn't know about these two ancient books until she heard about them from Old Doctor Gao. That was because Old Doctor Gao knew that Su Liang and Gu Ling were very capable, so he suggested that they look for them. If they could find them, it would definitely greatly improve Su Liang's ability in detoxification.

"I also heard about it from my master when he was alive. It is said that the last time these two books were heard was in the hands of a genius doctor named Feng, but that was a long time ago. After several generations, I don't know where they are." said the old doctor Gao at the time.

As for Old Man Wen, Su Liang and Gu Ling had never heard of his name before. Since Xingluo Island found him, it means that he is not an ordinary person, but he was too low-key in the past, not greedy for fame and fortune, and hid it very well. And Su Liang didn't expect that the two books she had been looking for would actually fall into her hands.

"Great, this is exactly what I'm looking for." Su Liang did not hide her surprise, "Senior Wen gave me such a big gift as soon as I arrived, I don't know how to return the gift."

When Old Man Wen saw Su Liang's reaction, he knew that she was knowledgeable. He glanced at his granddaughter and said earnestly, "I am half buried in the ground, and I only have this granddaughter. I was afraid of trouble before, so I didn't let her live a good life. I won't be able to take care of her for long in the future. If little friend Su Liang can take care of Ran'er, I can leave with peace of mind."

Wen Ran frowned, "Grandpa, don't be so... Say..."

Old Man Wen laughed, "It's nothing. Life, old age, sickness and death. I'm old enough to take everything easy. I just worry about you and want to find a good home for you."

Wen Ran held his forehead, "Here you go again. If you don't know, you might think Grandpa wants me to marry Dr. Su!"

Old Man Wen looked at Su Liang and saw her nod, "Senior Wen and Sister Ran, stay and don't leave. I'm most happy about this. Sister Ran's home is up to me."

Not only because of these two precious ancient books, but also because of Gu Ling's previous interactions with the grandparents and grandchildren, and what he saw today, Su Liang liked them very much. Old Man Wen is easy-going and sensible, and Wen Ran is a girl who is not very experienced but sensible and generous. And Su Liang also wants to be able to ask Old Man Wen for advice whenever she encounters problems.

In fact, it is the same for Old Man Wen. As soon as they met, he gave her a family heirloom and proposed to entrust her granddaughter to Su Liang. Firstly, he didn't like beating around the bush. Secondly, he had dealt with Gu Ling before and didn't want any reward for saving them. In addition, they already knew a lot of rumors about Gu Ling and Su Liang. Old Man Wen had no doubts about Su Liang's character and talent. After meeting him today, he felt that he had met him too late.

Hearing Su Liang's ready agreement and so sincere, Old Man Wen couldn't help but sigh, "It's right to come. I should have come earlier."

At this time, Nangong Qian led Gu Xiaonuan in, and the eyes of the Wen family's grandparents and grandchildren were glued to Gu Xiaonuan and couldn't move away.

Su Liang thought that Old Man Wen was going to hug Gu Xiaonuan, but he said that he was exhausted all the way and would take a shower and change clothes when he came back before getting close to the child.

Although the Wen family's grandparents and grandchildren looked like they came from the countryside, they behaved quite well and were not shy at all. Su Liang liked such people.

Qi Yan brought hot soup and hot rice. Su Liang was not hungry, but she ate a little with the Wen family.

The guest house had been prepared before. After dinner, Qi Yan sent the Wen family to the guest house. Hot water for bathing was already prepared.

Wen Ran even saw several sets of new clothes and shoes and socks prepared for her when she entered the room. The material was simple and elegant, and it felt very comfortable to touch. Even the size was very suitable. Old Man Wen also had them.

The grandparents and grandchildren didn't know whether Gu Ling had expected them to come and prepared them in advance, or whether Su Liang had asked someone to prepare them after seeing them today, but no matter what, it could be seen that Su Liang entertained them very attentively. And coming all the way to a stranger's house and being treated warmly was naturally comforting.

Gu Ling came back after sending the child to the Wan family. When he arrived at Yuanming Pavilion, Su Liang was already concentrating on reading the book "Thousand Gold Prescriptions for Detoxification".

Gu Ling walked to Su Liang's side and put his hand on her shoulder, "Senior Wen sent it?"

Su Liang didn't look up, "Yes, it's the two books we've been looking for before." It's just like the saying, no matter how hard you try, you can find it without any effort.

It can be said to be fate and destiny. Gu Ling was able to know the grandparents and grandchildren because of an encounter and his special ability. If Gu Ling hadn't rescued them at that time, I think Old Man Wen would not have rashly come here no matter how many rumors he heard about Su Liang. He said that he really wanted to come and pay a visit, but between thinking and doing, he needed such an opportunity to let Old Man Wen, who had lived in seclusion all his life, take this step.

Gu Ling picked up another copy of "Thousand Poison Prescriptions" and sat next to Su Liang to read it.

...

When the grandparents and grandchildren of the Wen family came to Yuanming Pavilion again, they had washed and changed their clothes and looked refreshed.

As soon as he entered the door, Old Man Wen went straight to Gu Xiaonuan.

Gu Xiaonuan has never been shy, so she let Old Man Wen hold her and called him "Master" sweetly.

Old Man Wen was stunned for a moment, then he smiled until his eyes narrowed, and then he listened to Su Liang's explanation, "She regards Senior Wen as one of my masters." With an old face and gray hair, Old Man Wen and Qiu Cong, who had just left home a few days ago, seem to have some similarities.

Old Man Wen actually wanted to take Su Liang as his apprentice, but on the one hand, he had not yet shown his skills to Su Liang, and on the other hand, he thought that Su Liang might have better medical skills than him, so he planned to wait and see.

Unexpectedly, Su Liang took the initiative to say, "Since Gu Xiaonuan has called me Master, if Senior Wen doesn't mind, please take me as your apprentice!"

Old Man Wen nodded without hesitation, "I'd love to, but you are so powerful at such a young age, maybe I have nothing to teach you."

"How could that be? Master must have a lot I can learn." Su Liang did not doubt Old Man Wen's strength.

In this way, everyone was happy. Old Man Wen became Su Liang's fifth master, but the first master of medical skills.

Old Man Wen was a little surprised by this "first". Su Liang laughed and said that the master who taught her medical skills before did not allow her to become a disciple. That was learned from school in the previous life. There were many teachers, but they only taught one stage or one subject. They were not the same type as the masters here.

Old Man Wen looked serious, "Then I have to teach you what I have learned in my life, otherwise I can't be your first master of medical skills!"

"I have some unresolved problems here, and I want to ask you, Master." Su Liang said.

Old Man Wen just sat down, and then stood up again, handed Gu Xiaonuan to Wen Ran who was watching beside him, "Let's go, where are we going to talk?"

Su Liang and Gu Ling asked Old Man Wen to go upstairs to the study.

Wen Ran taught Gu Xiaonuan to call her aunt, and Gu Xiaonuan not only called her, but also came over and kissed her, just on the red birthmark on Wen Ran's face.

"Huahua!" Gu Xiaonuan pointed at Wen Ran's birthmark and said with a smile.

For the first time in her life, Wen Ran was moved by an ignorant child. For so many years, she had long been accustomed to the sarcasm of others about her appearance, because she didn't know those people and didn't care about their comments, so she could take it lightly. But when she came to the Su Mansion, where there were many beauties, Wen Ran liked the people in this family and naturally hoped to be accepted. No one in this family showed any strangeness about her appearance, she was very sure.

Gu Xiaonuan stretched out her little hand, "Outside!"

Wen Ran couldn't help laughing, "Okay, auntie will take you to play outside." Then she took Gu Xiaonuan's hat next to her and put it on her, holding her and walking out.

When she arrived at the door, a person came in, which made Wen Ran stunned, because she didn't understand: Why is there a monk in the Su Mansion?

What happened next surprised Wen Ran even more. Gu Xiaonuan called the monk "Uncle"? !

Could it be that Su Liang had an unknown brother who became a monk... This was Wen Ran's thought at the moment.

Chengyun went to Huguo Temple early in the morning and just came back. He didn't know that there were guests at home. He was stunned when he saw Wen Ran.

"I came to the mansion with my grandfather today. My surname is Wen. Are you sister Su Liang's brother?" Wen Ran asked.

Chengyun replied, "I am her brother."

Wen Ran nodded, "Mr. Su, nice to meet you." She saw that Chengyun had hair growing on his bald head, and guessed that he must have returned to secular life.

Chengyun: ... This is the first time someone called him Mr. Su. But although he returned to secular life, he actually didn't know what his original surname was, so the surname Su was also OK.

"Uncle, Huahua!" Gu Xiaonuan pointed at the birthmark on Wen Ran's face and said to Chengyun.

Chengyun's eyes were gentle, "Yes, it's Huahua."

"Sister Su Liang is upstairs with my grandfather." Wen Ran said to Chengyun again, and then carried Gu Xiaonuan out.

"Uncle!" Gu Xiaonuan lay on Wen Ran's shoulder and called Chengyun.

Chengyun followed him silently.

…

Old Man Wen said his full name was Wen Ming, and he laughed and said he didn’t want to be “famous” at all.

The first question Su Liang asked Wen Ming was the one that had troubled her and Gu Ling for a long time and had not been solved: how to recover after being drugged and losing memory?

There is an urgent need for this matter at present - although it is not important whether Lin Shan’s memory is restored or not, and she herself does not care about this, but if Yuan Ying and Lao Bai, who were rescued from Xingluo Island not long ago, can restore their memories, they may provide some important information. Since they were drugged and lost their memory, it means that they know something that Mo Yan does not want outsiders to know.

After Su Liang asked, Wen Ming’s face straightened, "What kind of medicine caused the amnesia?"

Gu Ling immediately took out the prescription and pills for Wen Ming to see.

Wen Ming looked at the prescription first, said nothing, then took the pill and smelled it, and picked up the prescription again, "Master has to take a closer look."

Su Liang and Gu Ling looked at each other and both felt that there was a chance.

Gu Ling got up to open the window, and saw Wen Ran and Cheng Yun holding Gu Xiao Nuan by the lake.

When Gu Ling came back, Wen Ming had already started discussing with Su Liang, and he listened quietly beside them and poured them tea.

When the sun was not so warm, Wen Ran and Cheng Yun took Gu Xiao Nuan back to Yuanming Pavilion. During this time, Wen Ran had already asked if Cheng Yun was a monk and why he was Su Liang's brother.

Cheng Yun had heard Gu Ling mention the ancestors and grandchildren of the Wen family before, and Wen Ran said that Su Liang had already worshipped her grandfather as a teacher, so Cheng Yun answered everything he asked, and told Wen Ran almost all his life experiences, including the fact that his father and brother were bad guys.

Gu Ling came down from upstairs and asked Cheng Yun to help him light the fire.

After a while, Gu Xiaonuan called her daddy, and Wen Ran carried her to find Gu Ling and Chengyun, and unexpectedly found that the rumored beauty Gu was actually cooking.

This is the "shocking road" that everyone who has just come to the Su Mansion must go through, and Wen Ran is no exception.

Today, there are fresh mushrooms sent from the Zhongxin Marquis Mansion. Gu Ling processed them and fried them. The fragrance is overflowing before they are out of the pot.

After serving a plate, Gu Ling handed it to Wen Ran and asked her to send it to Wen Ming and Su Liang, and eat it while it is hot.

Wen Ran held Gu Xiaonuan in one hand and held the plate in the other hand. When he went upstairs, he heard Wen Ming's laughter.

When he entered the door, he saw Su Liang writing something on the paper. Wen Ming paced happily in the room, "I think this time is almost done. When the medicine is ready, you can let the Miss Lin you mentioned try it. It is harmless to the body."

"I think so too. Master has enlightened me. The direction that Gu Ling and I thought about before was wrong." Su Liang picked up the written paper and smiled.

"Mom! Master!" Gu Xiaonuan called again, and the two people in the room who were concentrating on medical skills finally came back to their senses and looked at them.

Wen Ran brought the fried mushrooms over, "This is made by the prince, and he said that grandpa and sister Su Liang should eat it while it's hot."

"Little Gu can actually cook?" Wen Ming was surprised, tasted it, and nodded repeatedly, "It smells so good!"

"Master, take a break and eat something. I'll also go to cook two dishes to welcome Master and sister Ran." Su Liang said.

Gu Xiaonuan was taken away by Su Liang, and only Wen Ming and Wen Ran were left in the room. The grandparents and grandchildren ate delicious fried mushrooms and exchanged their feelings after arriving at the Su Mansion today.

"Grandpa, this is the real paradise." Wen Ran looked serious, smiled, and pointed to the red birthmark on his face, "Nuannuan said I have spots on my face."

Wen Ming sighed, "It was a blessing in disguise that we met Little Gu that day."

...

Su Liang went to the kitchen and told Gu Ling that she had thought of understanding the prescription under Wen Ming's guidance.

"Okay." Gu Ling nodded as he gently stirred the chicken soup in the pot. "I'll prepare the medicine tonight and let Lin Shan try it tomorrow."
