The Doctor’s Three-Time Marriage

Although she felt it was too cute and did not match her temperament, Su Liang got the new purse and put it on the next day.

During breakfast that day, Gu Ling was still at home.

Su Liang asked his servants to put breakfast in the study. After the servants left, she entered the door. Gu Ling walked out from behind the screen and moved her gaze downwards, landing on Su Liang's slender waist.

As she walked briskly, the little rabbit on her purse swayed gently, jumping up and down, lively and agile.

Su Liang didn't pay attention to Gu Ling's gaze. He picked up a small bowl and gave half of the porridge to him, and said, "I told the people in the prefect's mansion that I have to go out to the city to visit friends today, so I won't go to the banquet. If I stay at home and don't go out, , but it seems very rude.”

"There is Lingyin Temple outside the city." Gu Ling took the porridge from Su Liang and sat down.

Su Liang nodded, "Then let's go visit the eminent monks of Lingyin Temple!"

After breakfast, the old housekeeper said that there was a long queue outside again, all coming to seek medical treatment.

Su Liang frowned and said, "I just said that I left the city and asked me to come back another day."

The old housekeeper nodded, "That's fine. From what I've seen, I don't have any serious illness. Most of them come here because of the reputation."

Su Liang knows. Because most of the patients she treated yesterday had common ailments. Xunyang City is a large trading city, and there are many doctors practicing medicine in the city.

If it was really urgent, he wouldn't wait in line waiting for Su Liang to save him.

Hearing that Su Liang was really going out of the city, the old housekeeper asked someone to prepare a car. Su Liang said no, so she rode a horse to Lingyin Temple for a walk.

The old housekeeper wanted to arrange two attendants, but Su Liang refused, so he had no choice but to obey her.

Su Liang was dressed in men's clothing and did not change her appearance. She rode out alone from the back door of Ning Mansion. The old housekeeper who followed him pointed in the direction of Lingyin Temple and told her how to get there.

"Don't worry, I'll be back before dark." After Su Liang finished speaking, he rode out from the back alley.

It wasn't until her figure disappeared from sight that the old housekeeper returned to the front door and sent away those who came to seek medical treatment.

Su Liang walked leisurely and looked at the scenery, not very fast.

It's midsummer, and as you go to the outskirts of the city, you'll see greener trees and blooming flowers. The bright sunshine shines golden spots through the gaps between the leaves, and the sounds of insects and birds are endless.

After passing through a dense forest, we arrived at the foot of the mountain where Lingyin Temple is located.

The old housekeeper said that this temple was originally just a small temple. When Mr. Ning was still alive, he spent money to expand it and built a bluestone road from the bottom of the mountain up, which can be accessed by horse-drawn carriages.

Yesterday was June 15th. Today there were relatively few people coming to Lingyin Temple. On the way up the mountain on horseback, Su Liang saw a little rabbit running in the grass on the roadside. He subconsciously lowered his head and glanced at his purse. The more he looked at it, the more he saw it. The cuter it is.

The great god looks cold, but he is actually a childlike person... Su Liang thought to himself.

Until he dismounted outside Lingyin Temple, Gu Ling didn't appear.

Su Liang didn't know where he was, and she didn't make an appointment to come with him. She felt that it was very comfortable to go out and relax by herself.

He tied up his horse and entered Lingyin Temple. Incense is lingering, and the Buddha's image is solemn.

Su Liang bowed in the front hall and prayed for the safety of his relatives and friends, then went to see the scenery elsewhere in the temple.

On the way, Su Liang heard someone mention the peach grove in the back mountain, and Su Liang became interested. This is not the time to see peach blossoms, but the peaches are ripe.

The peach forest belongs to Lingyin Temple, and it is also a precious variety that Mr. Ning bought from the south. The peaches have ripened recently. Pilgrims who come to the temple can ask for a peach imbued with Buddhist fragrance to take home. There are also people from places near Xunyang City who come here to pray for it.

Su Liang got closer and saw the attractive pink peach on the top of the tree through the courtyard wall.

But at this time, the pilgrims were blocked outside and lined up, and were not allowed to enter for the time being.

Su Liang stood at the end of the queue and asked the aunt in front, "There are too many people inside. Can we go in only after the people inside have come out?"

The aunt didn't look back and explained to her, "In previous years, the temple would choose a day to pick the best peaches and send them to the Ning family as a token of gratitude. It's a pity that Mr. Ning, such a good man, left, but his sworn sister General Su In the city, the temple will deliver fruits to General Su today. After picking them, it will be our turn."

Su Liang raised her eyebrows. She was preparing a peach for her? What a coincidence.

But Su Liang was thinking about how to go in and take a stroll. She just saw the peach and wanted to pick it herself.

At this moment, someone exclaimed, "General Su?!"

All the surrounding eyes were focused on Su Liang.

The person who recognized her was a man who accompanied her father to Ning's house for medical treatment yesterday.

The aunt who had just spoken to Su Liang looked very excited, "So this is General Su!"

Soon, a monk ran over and clasped his hands together, "Amitabha, Master Abbot invites you."

Su Liang smiled and said, "Let's share the peaches with everyone as usual. Don't keep the elderly waiting."

The monk called the monk guarding the Taoyuan to explain a few words, and then took Su Liang in another direction.

Su Liang looked back again and found that the big peach she had been eyeing since she arrived had disappeared! But it shouldn't be, she didn't notice anyone climbing the tree to pick it.

Su Liang couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

Following the monk to a secluded courtyard, Su Liang met Master Francis, the abbot of Lingyin Temple.

There is a centuries-old cypress in the courtyard. Master Francis and Su Liang sat down to drink tea in the shade under the tree.

"This tea was given to me by the old benefactor Ning when he was still alive." Master Fangji looked a little disappointed when he mentioned Mr. Ning.

Su Liang tasted it and found that it was indeed the best tea.

Master Fangji asked Su Liang if she wanted to stay in Xunyang City to take care of the Ning family's property. Su Liang said that she would find a capable person to take care of it and would return to Beijing soon.

"That's fine. I've heard about Su's talent and fame a long time ago, and when I saw him today, he was indeed one of the best among people." Master Fang Ji said.

Su Liang saw that this old monk was not the type like Master Puqing who was content with poverty and devoted himself to practice. He still had some worldliness in him and his speech was quite tactful.

Su Liang didn't have much opinion on this. We are all human beings, we all have to live and eat, so how can we become detached from others after shaving our hair.

After chatting for a while, Su Liang mentioned that she wanted to visit the peach forest, and Master Francis asked the leading monk to take her there.

The pilgrims had all dispersed, and Su Liang entered the peach grove alone. There were still many fruits on the trees, and a faint sweet aroma floated in the air.

Su Liang picked a ripe peach, wiped the fuzz on the skin with a handkerchief, then gently peeled off the skin, and took a bite. It was sweet, soft and glutinous, and really delicious.

She walked inside while eating peaches.

Not long after, he saw Gu, who was picking peaches with a basket in his hand.

Su Liang was not surprised at all that he was here, "I think you snatched a good peach that I had my eye on."

"Yeah." Gu Ling admitted. In the dark, he saw Su Liang staring at a certain Taozi several times.

"Stop picking it. The temple will give it to me. I won't be able to finish it." Su Liang said.

"You said you could make peach preserves." Gu Ling said.

Su Liang coughed lightly, "But I never said I would do it for you." She was sure of this, and she could naturally refuse anything she didn't agree to.

Gu Ling's face was calm, "Zheng'er should really want to eat the peach preserves you made."

Su Liang: ...I am speechless. Of course I have to share such a delicious peach with the lovely Zheng'er.

What I told the old housekeeper was to go back before dark. After Su Liang left Lingyin Temple alone, he continued to the top of the mountain, leaving the horse behind to ride again when he left.

Su Liang picked a few wild fruits on the way and climbed to the top of the mountain. There was a large flat open space covered with flowers and plants, like a brightly colored velvet blanket.

The sun is just right and the breeze is blowing.

Gu Ling walked up from another road carrying a basket in one hand and a plump pheasant in the other.

The two of them chose a spot with the best view, lit a fire, and prepared roast chicken and fresh peaches for lunch.

During this process, the two did not chat because Gu Ling asked Su Liang to continue telling him the unfinished story.

After the two stories are told, the pheasant emits an attractive aroma and is ready to be moved.

Su Liang squeezed the picked sour berry juice onto the roasted pheasant. The sweet and sour aroma was very fresh, a bit like lemon. After tasting it, the taste was undeniable.

After eating the delicious barbecue, Su Liang found her favorite peach from the basket. It was too big and she ate half of it with Gu Ling.

After eating, the sun was shining warmly, and I felt a little sleepy.

Su Liang lay on the grass under the shade of a tree and slept, not caring what Gu Ling was doing.

When Su Liang woke up, he saw Gu Ling's coat covering him, and he was sitting not far away carving something.

It was still early, so Su Liang stood up and took Gu Ling's clothes and returned them to him, "Thank you. This place is really nice. We haven't competed for a while. Can you give me some advice?"

Gu Ling put away the stone and knife he was carving, put on his coat, and then nodded, "If you lose, I will share half of the peach preserves I made for Zheng'er."

When Su Liang heard this, he felt like winning, "In that case, how about you fight me with one hand?"

"Okay." Gu Ling agreed.

So, under the clear blue sky, the two competed on the top of the mountain.

Gu Ling put her right hand behind her back and used only her left hand to fight Su Liang.

You came and I went, fighting until the sun was about to set. Gu Ling, who had been giving Su Liang some tricks, suddenly stopped and said, "Look at the sunset."

Su Liang turned around and realized that the magnificent sunset had turned half the sky red, and the setting sun was sinking, magnificent and beautiful.

Just when Su Liang was fascinated by the natural beauty, he was accidentally pushed down by Gu Ling. When he almost landed, he pulled him back.

Su Liang watched Gu Ling's series of strange operations speechlessly.

I heard him say three words, "You lose."

Su Liang: ...So the intermission was just to watch the sunset? What else could she say? It is absolutely normal for someone to do such a thing just to get the peach she promised.

The sun went down and the sky quickly became dark.

The two went down the mountain together and separated when they approached Lingyin Temple. Su Liang went to ride a horse and went down the mountain alone to Ning's house.

…

The lantern in the Ning Mansion reflected the old butler's old face. He looked at the door for a long time and finally saw a familiar figure appear. He breathed a sigh of relief and quickly ordered the servant to arrange dinner.

"Miss is back!" The old housekeeper was a little worried. After all, Su Liang is definitely a big shot here, and there is no guarantee that no one will harm her.

The white lanterns swaying gently in the night wind and the couplets written in black on a white background on the door reminded Su Liang to try not to smile, "The scenery here is very good. I looked everywhere and walked away."

The old housekeeper said that the Prefect's Mansion sent another thank you gift today. It was a gift given to relatives and friends in accordance with local customs. It was not expensive, but it was still a thoughtful gift.

In addition, there was a basket of peaches sent from Lingyin Temple, which was placed at Su Liang's residence.

Su Liang went back, washed briefly, and placed dinner in the study.

After the servants left, she had dinner with Gu Ling and agreed that her main task tomorrow would be to make peach preserves.

After telling the story as usual and admiring Gu Ling's paintings, Su Liang was about to go back to the room to take a shower when the old housekeeper came again and said that someone was looking for Su Liang outside the door.

"Do you know who he is?" Su Liang asked.

The old housekeeper said he was a young man who called himself Peng and came from the north.

Peng is not a rare surname. There are many people with this surname in the Qian Kingdom, so people will not think that he is a general of the Peng family in the Liang Kingdom.

But the Peng family from the north who can come to Su Liang is naturally a member of the Peng Wei family.

"Please go to the outer study room, I will go there later." Su Liang said.

After watching the old housekeeper leave the courtyard, Su Liang went back to his room and changed his clothes. When he felt that his hair was a little messy, he combed it again.

…

Su Liang walked into the outer study room and saw a young man standing up and holding his hands, "General Su, I'm Peng Fan."

Su Liang had heard of this name, and Peng Wei always talked about his precious grandson.

Unlike the rough and violent Peng Wei, Peng Fan has a determined look, eyes and demeanor that are very calm. Although his appearance is not very outstanding, he gives people the feeling of being heroic.

"No need to be polite. Please sit down." Su Liang looked calm.

"Thank you, General Su, for saving my grandfather's life at Ping'an Temple." Peng Fan looked solemn, "My grandfather told me to take my father to Qianguo to find General Su for medical treatment. I didn't dare to delay on the way, but I didn't expect to hear that General Su's fiancé, Mr. Ning, had been killed. Regarding the news, I hope General Su will send you my condolences."

Su Liang nodded, "Has your father also come to Xunyang City?"

"Yes." Peng Fan nodded, "I was taking my father to the capital of Qian Kingdom. On the way, I learned that General Su was sending Mr. Ning back to Xunyang City for burial. I didn't know when General Su would return to the capital, so I came here. My father is in the inn. Due to the long journey and the bumps, his condition has worsened, so I have no choice but to come late at night to disturb General Su. Please forgive me."

Seeing Peng Fan's apologetic and uneasy look, Su Liang stood up and said, "Let's go, I'll go over and take a look."

Peng Fan breathed a sigh of relief and was about to walk out when he saw Su Liang stop and look back, "Since everyone is in the city, go and bring your father to live here. It will be more convenient for me to treat him."

There were many people outside, and there were people in Xunyang City who were staring at Su Liang. Although she only practices medicine, after all, the Peng family has a sensitive identity, and it is better to do less than to do more.

It happened to be quiet at night, and the Peng family and his son had just arrived, so no one should know.

Peng Fan had long heard from Peng Wei that Su Liang had a bold and generous personality, and it turned out to be true when he saw her today. Because he was concerned about his father's safety, he did not refuse. After thanking him, he hurriedly left to pick up Peng Qian.

Su Liang asked the old housekeeper to clean up a guest courtyard and come out. She had friends coming over to stay for a few days.

When Peng Fan went to pick up Peng Qian, Su Liang went back to pack her medicine box.

Just as she was about to go out again, she saw Gu Ling appearing behind her like a ghost.

"Master, please go back and teach me how to develop this elusive skill." Su Liang said, bypassing him and walking out, "The person who just came was Peng Wei's grandson, and the patient will arrive soon."
