Chapter 255 255. The Beautiful Kid
Chapter 255
Su Liang got up early in the morning to run in the courtyard. After the exercise, the door of Lonicera's room did not open. She wondered if she had gone out and did not knock on the door.
Gu Ling left last night, although Su Liang will leave soon, even though there is still one person at home, she still feels not used to it.After exercising in the past, Gu Ling had already boiled hot water for her to wash, and after she finished washing, she made breakfast together.
Su Liang, who can only boil the water by himself today, tried to light the fire in the stove, but it was very difficult, even after several times of lighting, it didn't start.This is something she hardly ever does, and it is indeed unfamiliar.
In the end, Su Liang gave up, washed with cold water, didn't make breakfast, and planned to eat at Mrs. Bai's house.
She was about to go out when she thought of Lonicera again, went to knock on the door, and heard Lonicera's panicked voice, "Master, this subordinate will come right away!"
Soon, Lian Dong opened the door, her hair was a little disheveled, and she lowered her head anxiously, "This subordinate should get up early to serve the master, I didn't expect..."
"I didn't expect to be able to sleep so soundly?" Su Liang looked indifferent, "Good thing, you should take a rest, and you will be on your way again soon. Comb your hair and come with me to dinner."
Liandong's heart warmed up, and she quickly tidied up and stood in front of Su Liang.
Su Liang looked at this new subordinate, with a handsome face and clean clothes, which was pleasing to the eye, "Let's go."
Liandong followed Su Liang to go out, seeing that she locked the door, she didn't ask where she was going.
Not long after, the two arrived outside the gate of Bai's house.
A young man with a tall and straight figure and a handsome face came out from inside, and smiled when he saw Su Liang, "Master!"
It's Qi Jun.When he found Liandong standing behind Su Liang, he froze for a moment, "Are you back?"
The two had dealt with each other in the capital, and Liandong didn't see Qi Jun last night, so he thought he wasn't here, so now he just nodded slightly and responded.
"Where are you going?" Su Liang asked.
"Xiaohu and Zhuzi have gone to school. I asked Er Niu's grandfather to make a batch of wooden knives and wooden swords for the children to practice martial arts. It should be ready soon. Go over and have a look!" Qi Jun said with a smile.
Su Liang nodded, "Go and do it yourself."
Qi Jun was a little curious about whether Liandong had completed the task. Seeing Su Liang with her by his side, it seemed that something was different from before.
Qi Jun didn't inquire immediately, and went to find Su Dakuan.
Su Liang came in, Mrs. Liu was washing clothes by the well, Mrs. Bai was coaxing her little granddaughter, but Mr. Bai was nowhere to be seen.
"Girl Liang is here!" Aunt Bai saw Su Liang, and cheerfully came up to her, grabbed her little granddaughter's hand and shook Su Liang, "This is your sister Su Liang."
Su Liang smiled and hugged the baby who was reaching out to her, and shook it lightly. The chubby little girl grinned and drooled, and Aunt Bai hurriedly wiped it for her.
"Auntie, I'm here for breakfast, isn't it too late?" Su Liang was not polite to Aunt Bai at all.
Aunt Bai rolled up her sleeves when she heard the words, "It's not too late, it's not too late! Whatever you want to eat, I will make it for you, and it will be ready soon!"
"Anything is fine." Su Liang pulled the little girl's little hand towards her mouth, and one of her fingers was held.
Aunt Bai put on her apron and went into the kitchen. Su Liang turned around and found that Liandong was standing outside the door and did not come in.
"come in."
Hearing Su Liang calling her, Liandong walked in.
Mrs. Liu was a little curious, "Who is this girl?"
"Just like Qi Jun, he is my bodyguard." Su Liang smiled.
Liu's face showed surprise, "The female guard? That must be a very powerful person, sit down!"
Su Liang didn't treat Qi Jun as a real person, and the Bai family all regarded Qi Jun as a distinguished guest, so naturally they wouldn't underestimate Liandong.
Liandong lived in Sujia Village for more than a year before knowing that Su Liang was the No. [-] martial artist.But I also know that Su Liang grew up in the capital, and she is not a "village girl" as some people call her.
Seeing the picture of Su Liang getting along naturally and harmoniously with the neighbors in the village today, Liandong was surprised and touched at the same time.
Once upon a time, she and her siblings, Jinhua Baiyang, also fantasized about breaking away from Shaoyao's control and finding a small mountain village with beautiful mountains and rivers to live a peaceful life.
Aunt Bai and Mrs. Liu are simple and warm, and the farmyard is messy but not chaotic. Looking at Su Liang who is holding the little girl and smiling, Liandong seems to be in a dream for a while.
When Lonicera came back to her senses, she was dragged by Mrs. Liu to sit on a wicker chair under the tree in the yard, while her master Su Liang was still standing, hugging the little girl to touch the leaves on the tree.
Mrs. Liu didn't think there was anything wrong with this, and quickly brought out a bowl of warm sugar water for Lonicera, only one bowl, not for Su Liang.
Seeing that Lonicera didn't dare to pick it up, Liu smiled and put it in her hand, "You are here for the first time, don't be restrained, you are not an outsider, you look thin."
"Ninny, your mother can't even see us, let's go." Su Liang hugged the little girl and said.
Liandong quickly stood up and handed the sugar water to Su Liang, but Su Liang shook his head, "It's for you, you can just drink it, don't have to tweak it. You are indeed too thin, and you may think you are sick if you don't know."
Liandong sat down silently, and drank the bowl of sugar water in small sips.In fact, Mrs. Liu didn't add much sugar. She just added a small teaspoon because she thought it was not good to entertain guests with plain water.But Lonicera felt very sweet, very sweet, as if all of a sudden the sweetness reached my heart.
The breakfast that Aunt Bai specially made for Su Liang and Lonicera was placed hot on the table made of large wooden stakes in the courtyard.
"What's the girl's name?" Aunt Bai looked at Lian Dong cheerfully, "You are so handsome, but you are too thin, and Liang girl is also too thin, you all need to make up your body."
Lian Dong said her name, but Aunt Bai didn't understand medicinal materials, so she just thought this name was weird, because the word "forbearance" is rarely used in common people's names.
But Aunt Bai still used her understanding to boast, "It's a good name! After enduring the winter, spring will be warm!"
Su Liang smiled lightly, "That's exactly what it means."
Liandong was stunned, endured the winter, could she still look forward to spring in her life...
After breakfast, Su Liang said that she would come over at noon, and Aunt Bai said that Qi Jun took the child to kill two pheasants yesterday, and there was one left for stewed chicken at noon.
Su Liang took Liandong out of Bai's house and walked to the bridge. She pointed in one direction and said to Liandong, "Qi Jun has gone to Erniu's house, that's the one, you go and find him."
"I'm going to find guard Qi...what to do?" Liandong was puzzled.
"Go and see what he is doing and see if he can help you." Su Liang said.
"Yes." Liandong nodded, seeing Su Liang walking towards the house, she crossed the bridge and went to Er Niu's house in the direction Su Liang pointed.
……
The people sent by Duanmu Chen set off from the capital a day earlier than Liandong, but they haven't arrived yet, because Liandong travels faster and rarely rests.But Duanmuchen hinted that those who came to deliver the letter should not be so anxious on the way.
Su Liang didn't pack her luggage either, she just acted like she didn't know anything and waited for someone to come.
She returned home alone, and saw that the pumpkin pulp dug out yesterday was half-dried in the porcelain basin on the stool at the kitchen door.If Gu Ling hadn't left, he would have cleaned up this early in the morning, washed the pumpkin seeds, and urged Su Liang to fry them for him.
When Gu Ling was not around, Su Liang disposed of the pumpkin seeds.I made the original flavor last time, and I plan to make it into a spiced one this time.Add water to the pot, put the washed pumpkin seeds, and put the existing spices at home, boil on high heat and turn to low heat for two quarters of an hour, skim off the foam, smoke firewood, and soak in the pot.
Just after washing his hands and going out from the kitchen, Su Liang saw Qi Jun and Liandong entering the door one after the other.
"Master, Grandpa Dakuan's craftsmanship is really good!" Qi Jun held a wooden sword in his hand and swung it twice.
Holding a wooden knife in his hand, Liandong nodded silently, expressing his agreement with Qi Jun's words.
"Remember to pay the wages." Su Liang said.
Qi Jun nodded, "Master, don't worry, the subordinates will find a way."
The reason why he had to find a way to pay the money was because Su Dakuan knew that it was made for the children in the village, so he was determined not to accept a penny, and even prepared the wood himself.
"It smells so good, what delicious food did the master cook?" Qi Jun asked with a smile.
Liandong frowned slightly, Qi Jun seemed to be acquainted with Su Liang, and the "Master" in his mouth was just a title, and there was no distinction between superiority and inferiority.
Su Liang shook her head, "Secret."
Qi Jun said with a smile, "I don't know if my subordinates have tasted the food. Anyway, this time I go back to Beijing, I'm going to talk to my brother, he must be very envious of me!"
Su Liang snorted softly, "Wait to be beaten."
The corners of Qi Jun's lips curled slightly, "How can I not let my brother know about such a good day? It's worth the beating!"
Qi Jun is going to the school to teach the children martial arts. Every day is this time, let the children exercise between reading.
Su Liang asked Liandong to go with her. Although Liandong didn't know what she could do to help, she still followed Qi Jun.
Near noon, Su Liang took out the delicious pumpkin seeds soaked in the pot, drained them, put them in the yard to dry, and then went to Bai's house for dinner.
When Su Liang came back after eating, he read the book for an hour, and the water on the surface of the pumpkin seeds was gone, so he slowly fried them on a low heat, stirring constantly.
Qi Jun and Liandong came back again, and the courtyard was full of tempting burnt fragrance.
"Master must have cooked something delicious." Qi Jun said.
Lonicera nodded.
"You go and have a look?" Qi Jun pointed to the kitchen.
Liandong shook her head, "You go."
Here, the two "give way" to each other, Su Liang came out from the kitchen, poured the fried pumpkin seeds into the basket on the stone table in the courtyard, and spread them out evenly.
"Master, what is this?" Qi Jun asked curiously.
"Pumpkin seeds." Su Liang said.
"Can you eat it?" Qi Jun expressed surprise.He grew up with Xing Yusheng in the Beijing Palace since he was a child. Although he is a servant in name, he has a better life than ordinary young masters, and he has never seen this before.
Su Liang signaled Qi Jun and Liandong to reach out, and each of them grabbed a handful for them, "Peel the skin and eat it, or you don't have to peel it."
After peeling the skin, Qi Jun ate one, and then ate the unpeeled one, nodding repeatedly, "It's delicious! It's delicious!"
Lonicera also nodded, "It's delicious."
"Don't steal the rest." Su Liang warned.
"Is the master planning to bring it back to the capital as a gift?" Qi Jun asked.
Su Liang said seriously, "There is a very beautiful little ferret who came down to the house a few days ago and likes to eat this. He will come to me again, I prepared this for him."
Qi Jun and Liandong subconsciously looked at each other.
Qi Jun intuited that Su Liang was talking nonsense, and Lian Dong also felt that, but unfortunately they had no evidence...
……
When the sun was setting, Su Liang wrapped the cooled five-spice pumpkin seeds in oiled paper and put them in an exquisite snack box to avoid moisture.
In the middle of the next day, the messenger sent by Duanmu Chen arrived at Sujia Village.
It was the two guards from the Prince's Mansion who came. After entering the village, they asked the villagers and found Su Liang's family.
Su Liang returned from having breakfast at Bai's house and was watering the trees in the yard.Liandong was sent by her to help Qi Jun again.
After the two guards saluted, they handed over the letter from Duanmu Chen to Su Liang.
There were few words in the letter, and the tone was business-like, saying that the emperor suffered from a headache recently, and the empress dowager's old illness relapsed, and ordered Su Liang to leave for Beijing immediately after reading the letter, without delay on the way.
Liandong had already confessed that this time it was Duanmu Yi who wanted Su Liang to go back earlier, but Duanmu Chen sent someone to call for him, which meant that there was no silver 300 taels here.
Of course, no matter who gave the order, Su Liang originally planned to go back, and Gu Ling had already left first.
"The two of you will stay at the inn in the town for one night. I will pay homage to my grandfather today, and I will meet you tomorrow morning." Su Liang received the letter and said to the two guards.
According to Su Liang's wishes, the two guards left Sujia Village and went to Feiyan Town.
At that time when Su Yuanzhou's family was buried, Su Liang left some ready-made joss paper money, took them out and put them in a basket, brought a pot of wine, and went to the Su family's cemetery alone.
Su Liang sat in front of Su Yuanzhou's tomb for a long time, burned paper money, and spilled wine. Before leaving, he looked at Su Yuanzhou's tombstone and sighed slightly, "The fallen leaves return to their roots. I hope your grandparents will find peace under the nine springs. I will come back again It's up to you."
After Su Liang finished speaking, he left with an empty basket.
When Qi Jun and Liandong learned that two men on horseback had come to look for Su Liang, someone saw Su Liang going to the cemetery, they went to look for her, and when they saw Su Liang on the way, she was picking up wild eggs in the hay...
Qi Jun raised his forehead, and Liandong suddenly wanted to laugh, but she couldn't actually laugh, she just moved the corners of her lips abruptly.
"Is master going back to Beijing?" Qi Jun came over and took the basket from Su Liang.
Su Liang nodded, "Be careful, don't break the wild eggs. Get ready and leave tomorrow morning. People from the capital are waiting in the town."
"A person sent by the emperor?" Qi Jun frowned, "Didn't you say at the beginning that the master was allowed to stay here for a few more days?"
Su Liang snorted softly, "Are you questioning the emperor?"
Liandong observed Qi Jun secretly, his face was calm, and there was no panic, "It's just a pity that my subordinate promised to teach the children a set of sword skills, but I haven't done it yet."
"You can stay." Su Liang said.
Qi Jun sighed slightly, "How can I do that?"
"There is me." Liandong blurted out, consciously slipping his tongue, and quickly explained, "This subordinate didn't mean that..."
Qi Jun found out that this girl had the intention of stealing his position as Su Liang's number one bodyguard...
"You fight? Who loses and who stays?" Su Liang chuckled.
Lonicera nodded, "Okay."
Qi Jun shook his head, "Not good."
When I got home, I saw a visitor, it was Hu Er.
Su Liang asked Qi Jun and Liandong to bring wild eggs and other ingredients at home to Bai's house, and she entertained Hu Er to talk in the courtyard.
"Is there a result in finding someone?" Su Liang asked.
When the words fell and Hu Er sighed, Su Liang knew that he must be yellow again.
Hu Er explained, "Actually, it's not too far away. I took someone there to have a look. The boy's age birthmark really matched, but he and his father looked exactly the same as his uncle's There are quite similar looks, so it must be designated as the younger brother of Miss Su's friend!"
Su Liang nodded, "If that's the case, it shouldn't be. But I still want to thank you for running around."
Hu Er waved his hands again and again, "Compared to Miss Su's great kindness to me, what is this? This is not the case, just keep looking!"
Speaking of this, Hu Er took out a bunch of gifts to Su Liang, asking her to accept them, saying that they were given by his brother and sister-in-law, and thanked Su Liang for letting their grandson go to school in Sujia Village.
Su Liang accepted it, saying that she was leaving for Beijing tomorrow.
When Hu Er came from the town, he saw two guards from the Prince's Mansion. They were not locals at first glance, so he thought they were looking for Su Liang.
After chatting for a few more words, Hu Er left.
Su Liang took the snacks in the gift to Bai's house.
At night, Su Liang packed her luggage, remembered something, went out and called Lian Dong.
Liandong immediately came out of the hut and asked Su Liang what to order.
"There are two old pumpkins in the utility room in the backyard. I want to take them back to the capital. Tomorrow, remember to pack them in bags and put them in the car." Su Liang explained and went back to the room.Of course, if you don’t finish eating the pumpkin you grow at home, you have to take it away.
Lian Dong came back to her senses and looked up at the sky. The moon was round and seemed to be brighter than the capital city.When she looked at the moon in the palace, she always felt that she was covered by a shadow, maybe it was the shadow in her eyes...
Before going to bed, Liandong also said, "Bring the pumpkin."
……
As soon as it was dawn, Mrs. Bai prepared breakfast and brought it over.
It's already winter in the village, Aunt Bai brought two pairs of finely stitched cotton shoes to Su Liang, which she made herself.Su Liang liked it very much and put it in the box.
The first thing Lonicera got up was to wrap two pumpkins in the utility room in the backyard and put them on the carriage.
The carriage crossed the bridge and headed towards the entrance of the village, Bai Xiaohu and Zhu Zhu waved their hands, their eyes turned red.
At the entrance of the village, I saw Su Bai, Su Dakuan and many other villagers gathered there, waiting to see Su Liang off.
Qi Jun drove the car, and Liandong waited on a horse.
Su Liang got off the car to bid farewell to everyone, saying that she would come back if she had a chance.
Su Bai repeatedly told Su Liang to take care of his health.
The carriage moved again and drove out of Sujia Village.
Su Liang looked through her books in the car, and found that the book that Gu Ling tore in half that night was not in the box, but she was clearly caught between the two books at that time, and she put them away last night.Could it be that Gu Ling came back that night after she fell asleep and took the torn book away?Do you need to be so elusive...
Qi Jun asked with a smile, "Is that beautiful little friend from the master not here yet? Can you share some of the delicious food prepared by the master?"
Su Liang closed the bookcase, "He's very fierce, and he doesn't like people to grab delicious food from him. You should rest your mind as soon as possible, I'm doing it for your own good."
The corners of Qi Jun's mouth twitched slightly, deeply doubting whether the beautiful friend Su Liang said was really a little ferret?Why does it sound so amazing...

(End of this chapter)
Su Liang got up early in the morning to run in the courtyard. After the exercise, the door of Lonicera's room did not open. She wondered if she had gone out and did not knock on the door.
Gu Ling left last night, although Su Liang will leave soon, even though there is still one person at home, she still feels not used to it.After exercising in the past, Gu Ling had already boiled hot water for her to wash, and after she finished washing, she made breakfast together.
Su Liang, who can only boil the water by himself today, tried to light the fire in the stove, but it was very difficult, even after several times of lighting, it didn't start.This is something she hardly ever does, and it is indeed unfamiliar.
In the end, Su Liang gave up, washed with cold water, didn't make breakfast, and planned to eat at Mrs. Bai's house.
She was about to go out when she thought of Lonicera again, went to knock on the door, and heard Lonicera's panicked voice, "Master, this subordinate will come right away!"
Soon, Lian Dong opened the door, her hair was a little disheveled, and she lowered her head anxiously, "This subordinate should get up early to serve the master, I didn't expect..."
"I didn't expect to be able to sleep so soundly?" Su Liang looked indifferent, "Good thing, you should take a rest, and you will be on your way again soon. Comb your hair and come with me to dinner."
Liandong's heart warmed up, and she quickly tidied up and stood in front of Su Liang.
Su Liang looked at this new subordinate, with a handsome face and clean clothes, which was pleasing to the eye, "Let's go."
Liandong followed Su Liang to go out, seeing that she locked the door, she didn't ask where she was going.
Not long after, the two arrived outside the gate of Bai's house.
A young man with a tall and straight figure and a handsome face came out from inside, and smiled when he saw Su Liang, "Master!"
It's Qi Jun.When he found Liandong standing behind Su Liang, he froze for a moment, "Are you back?"
The two had dealt with each other in the capital, and Liandong didn't see Qi Jun last night, so he thought he wasn't here, so now he just nodded slightly and responded.
"Where are you going?" Su Liang asked.
"Xiaohu and Zhuzi have gone to school. I asked Er Niu's grandfather to make a batch of wooden knives and wooden swords for the children to practice martial arts. It should be ready soon. Go over and have a look!" Qi Jun said with a smile.
Su Liang nodded, "Go and do it yourself."
Qi Jun was a little curious about whether Liandong had completed the task. Seeing Su Liang with her by his side, it seemed that something was different from before.
Qi Jun didn't inquire immediately, and went to find Su Dakuan.
Su Liang came in, Mrs. Liu was washing clothes by the well, Mrs. Bai was coaxing her little granddaughter, but Mr. Bai was nowhere to be seen.
"Girl Liang is here!" Aunt Bai saw Su Liang, and cheerfully came up to her, grabbed her little granddaughter's hand and shook Su Liang, "This is your sister Su Liang."
Su Liang smiled and hugged the baby who was reaching out to her, and shook it lightly. The chubby little girl grinned and drooled, and Aunt Bai hurriedly wiped it for her.
"Auntie, I'm here for breakfast, isn't it too late?" Su Liang was not polite to Aunt Bai at all.
Aunt Bai rolled up her sleeves when she heard the words, "It's not too late, it's not too late! Whatever you want to eat, I will make it for you, and it will be ready soon!"
"Anything is fine." Su Liang pulled the little girl's little hand towards her mouth, and one of her fingers was held.
Aunt Bai put on her apron and went into the kitchen. Su Liang turned around and found that Liandong was standing outside the door and did not come in.
"come in."
Hearing Su Liang calling her, Liandong walked in.
Mrs. Liu was a little curious, "Who is this girl?"
"Just like Qi Jun, he is my bodyguard." Su Liang smiled.
Liu's face showed surprise, "The female guard? That must be a very powerful person, sit down!"
Su Liang didn't treat Qi Jun as a real person, and the Bai family all regarded Qi Jun as a distinguished guest, so naturally they wouldn't underestimate Liandong.
Liandong lived in Sujia Village for more than a year before knowing that Su Liang was the No. [-] martial artist.But I also know that Su Liang grew up in the capital, and she is not a "village girl" as some people call her.
Seeing the picture of Su Liang getting along naturally and harmoniously with the neighbors in the village today, Liandong was surprised and touched at the same time.
Once upon a time, she and her siblings, Jinhua Baiyang, also fantasized about breaking away from Shaoyao's control and finding a small mountain village with beautiful mountains and rivers to live a peaceful life.
Aunt Bai and Mrs. Liu are simple and warm, and the farmyard is messy but not chaotic. Looking at Su Liang who is holding the little girl and smiling, Liandong seems to be in a dream for a while.
When Lonicera came back to her senses, she was dragged by Mrs. Liu to sit on a wicker chair under the tree in the yard, while her master Su Liang was still standing, hugging the little girl to touch the leaves on the tree.
Mrs. Liu didn't think there was anything wrong with this, and quickly brought out a bowl of warm sugar water for Lonicera, only one bowl, not for Su Liang.
Seeing that Lonicera didn't dare to pick it up, Liu smiled and put it in her hand, "You are here for the first time, don't be restrained, you are not an outsider, you look thin."
"Ninny, your mother can't even see us, let's go." Su Liang hugged the little girl and said.
Liandong quickly stood up and handed the sugar water to Su Liang, but Su Liang shook his head, "It's for you, you can just drink it, don't have to tweak it. You are indeed too thin, and you may think you are sick if you don't know."
Liandong sat down silently, and drank the bowl of sugar water in small sips.In fact, Mrs. Liu didn't add much sugar. She just added a small teaspoon because she thought it was not good to entertain guests with plain water.But Lonicera felt very sweet, very sweet, as if all of a sudden the sweetness reached my heart.
The breakfast that Aunt Bai specially made for Su Liang and Lonicera was placed hot on the table made of large wooden stakes in the courtyard.
"What's the girl's name?" Aunt Bai looked at Lian Dong cheerfully, "You are so handsome, but you are too thin, and Liang girl is also too thin, you all need to make up your body."
Lian Dong said her name, but Aunt Bai didn't understand medicinal materials, so she just thought this name was weird, because the word "forbearance" is rarely used in common people's names.
But Aunt Bai still used her understanding to boast, "It's a good name! After enduring the winter, spring will be warm!"
Su Liang smiled lightly, "That's exactly what it means."
Liandong was stunned, endured the winter, could she still look forward to spring in her life...
After breakfast, Su Liang said that she would come over at noon, and Aunt Bai said that Qi Jun took the child to kill two pheasants yesterday, and there was one left for stewed chicken at noon.
Su Liang took Liandong out of Bai's house and walked to the bridge. She pointed in one direction and said to Liandong, "Qi Jun has gone to Erniu's house, that's the one, you go and find him."
"I'm going to find guard Qi...what to do?" Liandong was puzzled.
"Go and see what he is doing and see if he can help you." Su Liang said.
"Yes." Liandong nodded, seeing Su Liang walking towards the house, she crossed the bridge and went to Er Niu's house in the direction Su Liang pointed.
……
The people sent by Duanmu Chen set off from the capital a day earlier than Liandong, but they haven't arrived yet, because Liandong travels faster and rarely rests.But Duanmuchen hinted that those who came to deliver the letter should not be so anxious on the way.
Su Liang didn't pack her luggage either, she just acted like she didn't know anything and waited for someone to come.

Just after washing his hands and going out from the kitchen, Su Liang saw Qi Jun and Liandong entering the door one after the other.
"Master, Grandpa Dakuan's craftsmanship is really good!" Qi Jun held a wooden sword in his hand and swung it twice.
Holding a wooden knife in his hand, Liandong nodded silently, expressing his agreement with Qi Jun's words.

Su Liang snorted softly, "Wait to be beaten."
The corners of Qi Jun's lips curled slightly, "How can I not let my brother know about such a good day? It's worth the beating!"
Qi Jun is going to the school to teach the children martial arts. Every day is this time, let the children exercise between reading.
Su Liang asked Liandong to go with her. Although Liandong didn't know what she could do to help, she still followed Qi Jun.
Near noon, Su Liang took out the delicious pumpkin seeds soaked in the pot, drained them, put them in the yard to dry, and then went to Bai's house for dinner.

Qi Jun and Liandong subconsciously looked at each other.
Qi Jun intuited that Su Liang was talking nonsense, and Lian Dong also felt that, but unfortunately they had no evidence...

When the sun was setting, Su Liang wrapped the cooled five-spice pumpkin seeds in oiled paper and put them in an exquisite snack box to avoid moisture.
In the middle of the next day, the messenger sent by Duanmu Chen arrived at Sujia Village.
It was the two guards from the Prince's Mansion who came. After entering the village, they asked the villagers and found Su Liang's family.
Su Liang returned from having breakfast at Bai's house and was watering the trees in the yard.Liandong was sent by her to help Qi Jun again.
After the two guards saluted, they handed over the letter from Duanmu Chen to Su Liang.
There were few words in the letter, and the tone was business-like, saying that the emperor suffered from a headache recently, and the empress dowager's old illness relapsed, and ordered Su Liang to leave for Beijing immediately after reading the letter, without delay on the way.
Liandong had already confessed that this time it was Duanmu Yi who wanted Su Liang to go back earlier, but Duanmu Chen sent someone to call for him, which meant that there was no silver 300 taels here.
Of course, no matter who gave the order, Su Liang originally planned to go back, and Gu Ling had already left first.
"The two of you will stay at the inn in the town for one night. I will pay homage to my grandfather today, and I will meet you tomorrow morning." Su Liang received the letter and said to the two guards.
According to Su Liang's wishes, the two guards left Sujia Village and went to Feiyan Town.
At that time when Su Yuanzhou's family was buried, Su Liang left some ready-made joss paper money, took them out and put them in a basket, brought a pot of wine, and went to the Su family's cemetery alone.
Su Liang sat in front of Su Yuanzhou's tomb for a long time, burned paper money, and spilled wine. Before leaving, he looked at Su Yuanzhou's tombstone and sighed slightly, "The fallen leaves return to their roots. I hope your grandparents will find peace under the nine springs. I will come back again It's up to you."
After Su Liang finished speaking, he left with an empty basket.
When Qi Jun and Liandong learned that two men on horseback had come to look for Su Liang, someone saw Su Liang going to the cemetery, they went to look for her, and when they saw Su Liang on the way, she was picking up wild eggs in the hay...
Qi Jun raised his forehead, and Liandong suddenly wanted to laugh, but she couldn't actually laugh, she just moved the corners of her lips abruptly.
"Is master going back to Beijing?" Qi Jun came over and took the basket from Su Liang.
Su Liang nodded, "Be careful, don't break the wild eggs. Get ready and leave tomorrow morning. People from the capital are waiting in the town."
"A person sent by the emperor?" Qi Jun frowned, "Didn't you say at the beginning that the master was allowed to stay here for a few more days?"
Su Liang snorted softly, "Are you questioning the emperor?"
Liandong observed Qi Jun secretly, his face was calm, and there was no panic, "It's just a pity that my subordinate promised to teach the children a set of sword skills, but I haven't done it yet."
"You can stay." Su Liang said.
Qi Jun sighed slightly, "How can I do that?"
"There is me." Liandong blurted out, consciously slipping his tongue, and quickly explained, "This subordinate didn't mean that..."
Qi Jun found out that this girl had the intention of stealing his position as Su Liang's number one bodyguard...
"You fight? Who loses and who stays?" Su Liang chuckled.
Lonicera nodded, "Okay."
Qi Jun shook his head, "Not good."
When I got home, I saw a visitor, it was Hu Er.
Su Liang asked Qi Jun and Liandong to bring wild eggs and other ingredients at home to Bai's house, and she entertained Hu Er to talk in the courtyard.
"Is there a result in finding someone?" Su Liang asked.
When the words fell and Hu Er sighed, Su Liang knew that he must be yellow again.
Hu Er explained, "Actually, it's not too far away. I took someone there to have a look. The boy's age birthmark really matched, but he and his father looked exactly the same as his uncle's There are quite similar looks, so it must be designated as the younger brother of Miss Su's friend!"
Su Liang nodded, "If that's the case, it shouldn't be. But I still want to thank you for running around."
Hu Er waved his hands again and again, "Compared to Miss Su's great kindness to me, what is this? This is not the case, just keep looking!"
Speaking of this, Hu Er took out a bunch of gifts to Su Liang, asking her to accept them, saying that they were given by his brother and sister-in-law, and thanked Su Liang for letting their grandson go to school in Sujia Village.
Su Liang accepted it, saying that she was leaving for Beijing tomorrow.
When Hu Er came from the town, he saw two guards from the Prince's Mansion. They were not locals at first glance, so he thought they were looking for Su Liang.
After chatting for a few more words, Hu Er left.
Su Liang took the snacks in the gift to Bai's house.
At night, Su Liang packed her luggage, remembered something, went out and called Lian Dong.
Liandong immediately came out of the hut and asked Su Liang what to order.
"There are two old pumpkins in the utility room in the backyard. I want to take them back to the capital. Tomorrow, remember to pack them in bags and put them in the car." Su Liang explained and went back to the room.Of course, if you don’t finish eating the pumpkin you grow at home, you have to take it away.
Lian Dong came back to her senses and looked up at the sky. The moon was round and seemed to be brighter than the capital city.When she looked at the moon in the palace, she always felt that she was covered by a shadow, maybe it was the shadow in her eyes...
Before going to bed, Liandong also said, "Bring the pumpkin."
……
As soon as it was dawn, Mrs. Bai prepared breakfast and brought it over.
It's already winter in the village, Aunt Bai brought two pairs of finely stitched cotton shoes to Su Liang, which she made herself.Su Liang liked it very much and put it in the box.
The first thing Lonicera got up was to wrap two pumpkins in the utility room in the backyard and put them on the carriage.
The carriage crossed the bridge and headed towards the entrance of the village, Bai Xiaohu and Zhu Zhu waved their hands, their eyes turned red.
At the entrance of the village, I saw Su Bai, Su Dakuan and many other villagers gathered there, waiting to see Su Liang off.
Qi Jun drove the car, and Liandong waited on a horse.
Su Liang got off the car to bid farewell to everyone, saying that she would come back if she had a chance.
Su Bai repeatedly told Su Liang to take care of his health.
The carriage moved again and drove out of Sujia Village.
Su Liang looked through her books in the car, and found that the book that Gu Ling tore in half that night was not in the box, but she was clearly caught between the two books at that time, and she put them away last night.Could it be that Gu Ling came back that night after she fell asleep and took the torn book away?Do you need to be so elusive...
Qi Jun asked with a smile, "Is that beautiful little friend from the master not here yet? Can you share some of the delicious food prepared by the master?"
Su Liang closed the bookcase, "He's very fierce, and he doesn't like people to grab delicious food from him. You should rest your mind as soon as possible, I'm doing it for your own good."
The corners of Qi Jun's mouth twitched slightly, deeply doubting whether the beautiful friend Su Liang said was really a little ferret?Why does it sound so amazing...
