The Lin brothers and Lin Xie were very happy after hearing that Gu Ling said that Su Liang was on his way to the capital of Liang Kingdom.

"Wait a minute!" Lin Wei suddenly frowned, "What the King of Yue means is that he has already sent someone to invite Su Liang, but the emperor may not really let Su Liang come, right?"

Gu Ling looked calm and said, "Yes."

Lin Boyan thought thoughtfully, "As long as the 'remuneration' given by the King of Yue is high enough."

"With Emperor Liang's life, the remuneration will naturally not be low." Lin Qi heard that both Gu Ling and Lin Boyan thought that Su Liang would come, and held his hands happily, "Great! Now that Su Xiaoliang is here, I can see with my own eyes what she is like. I’m pursuing Gu Xiaoling! Haha!”

"Are you really going to live in Prince Yue's Mansion?" Lin Bojun asked Gu Ling.

Lin Wei hugged Gu Ling, "Of course we went together! I heard that Prince Yue's Mansion is also called Beauty Mansion, and everyone inside, old and young, is a beauty! I want to go and take a look!"

"Well, Lin Yi is coming with me." Gu Ling nodded slightly.

He still didn't know the purpose of Duanmu Yi sending Su Liang here, but it was definitely not to treat Emperor Liang, and it was definitely not a trivial matter, and it was most likely related to Situ Xie. This is why Gu Ling agreed to live in Prince Yue's Mansion. He was in Prince Yue's Mansion, and when Su Liang came, he wanted to chase him. If he asked to live in Prince Yue's Mansion, it would be very reasonable.

"Would it be unsafe for Dalin and Xiaolin to stay in the post house?" Lin Wei asked. During this time together, he and the Lin brothers have become very good friends.

Lin Boyan shook his head slightly, "As long as you don't kill people and set fire to Prince Yue's Mansion, you don't have to worry about our safety."

Lin Wei chuckled, "I can't, it's hard to tell Gu Xiaoling. By the way, did the King of Yue say when his people were sent out? When is Su Xiaoliang expected to arrive? I'll go out of the city to pick her up!"

Gu Ling shook his head, "I don't know."

"Ask the King of Yue when I see him again," Lin Wei said.

When Situ Jing, the eldest grandson of Situ Xie and the eldest brother of Situ Yao, came to the post house to pick up Gu Ling, it started to snow again in Yaocheng.

Lin Wei was talking to Gu Ling, and the door was open. When he saw the jade-faced young master approaching in the snow, Lin Wei couldn't help but sigh, "Your cousin is really good-looking!"

People of the Situ family have fair skin, and Gu Ling's complexion is even more flawless and fair that any woman would envy.

Situ Jing is tall, with deep and delicate facial features. His eyebrows and eyebrows are similar to Situ Xie's, and his speech and behavior are also like the younger version of Situ Xie. He is gentle, polite, and exquisite.

Lin Xie looked at Situ Jing and Gu Ling chatting and felt that overall, this person was more perfect. In comparison, many people would not like Gu Ling's aloof and taciturn character.

"This must be General Lin? I've admired him for a long time." Situ Jing smiled sincerely.

Lin Wei smiled more sincerely, "Both and each other. I have a question that I would like Mr. Situ to answer."

"Oh?" Situ Jing nodded, "Young Master Lin, it doesn't hurt to ask."

"Who is the most beautiful person in your palace?" Lin Wei asked seriously.

Situ Jing chuckled, "I never thought about this before, but now I can answer Mr. Lin. The most beautiful person in Prince Yue's palace is of course cousin Gu Ling."

"Not counting him?" Lin Wei asked again.

Situ Jing looked at Gu Ling and sighed slightly, "That was my aunt. But she has passed away."

Situ Xie only had one daughter, Gu Ling's mother Situ Ning.

Hearing Situ Jing mention his ancestors, Lin Wei couldn't ask further questions or make jokes, so he had to end the topic.

When he learned that Gu Ling was going to take Lin Qi to live in Prince Yue's Mansion, Situ Jing expressed his welcome. If the Lin brothers were willing, they could go with him.

By the time they set off, Lin Xian was already chatting happily with Situ Jing. The two of them walked in front and chatted, while Gu Ling followed behind alone, as if he was an outsider.

Situ Jing stopped and waited for Gu Ling. Lin Xian put his arms around his shoulders and continued walking forward, "Don't worry about Gu Xiaoling. He feels tired talking. If you have to talk to him, it will be a burden to him."

Situ Jing smiled and said, "It is said that cousin Gu Ling only has one friend, but now it seems that the rumors are untrue."

Lin Wei nodded, "Gu Xiaoling and I have known each other since childhood, but no one knows about it. Mr. Situ, besides Princess Yaoguang, do you have any other sisters?"

Situ Jing shook his head, "There are many boys in our family, and I only have one sister."

Lin Qian said it was a pity, giving people the feeling that he intended to be the son-in-law of the Situ family but had no chance, but in fact he was thinking in his heart, this is great, Situ Yao has already made an engagement with Duanmu Chen, and there is no other choice in the Yue Prince's Palace. Miss, you don’t have to worry about someone competing with Su Liang for Gu Ling! Even if there is, you can’t grab it!

Situ Jing smiled, "I have some cousins ​​here."

Lin Xian immediately expressed that he would like to meet him if there was a chance.

The carriage stopped and Gu Ling got out of the car. He saw many people standing outside the gate of Prince Yue's Mansion, including Situ Xie.

Lin Xian glanced around and couldn't help but sigh, "What a beauty's mansion!" There is a saying that the people in Yue Wang's mansion are all really outstanding in appearance, no one is ugly, and there is no one who is even mediocre in appearance.

But there is no one more beautiful than Gu Ling... This is the conclusion Lin Wei came to.

"Cousin!" Situ Yao stood beside Situ Xie, waving to Gu Ling with a sweet smile.

Situ Jing also has two younger brothers, who are twins. They are the same age as Gu Ling and look almost exactly the same.

Lin Xie was distinguishing the twins when he heard Situ Xie calling him.

"Master Lin, please come quickly." Situ Xie smiled.

"The King of Yue is too polite." Lin Xie walked to Situ Xie, "I heard that Su Liang is coming to treat Emperor Liang? I wonder when she will arrive?"

"Young Master Lin is familiar with Imperial Physician Su?" Situ Xie asked.

Lin Wei nodded and followed him through the door, "We're quite familiar with her. I'm her best friend. I pursued her before but was rejected. I'm totally fine with her liking Gu Xiaoling. No one else can.”

Situ Xie couldn't help laughing, and told the time to send people to Qian Country. If it was quick, Su Liang was expected to arrive at Yaocheng in eight or nine days.

The first impression Lin Wei left on the people of Prince Yue's Mansion was that he was outspoken, talkative, and said whatever he thought.

Situ Xie personally sent Gu Ling and Lin Xi to the courtyard where Situ Ning lived before getting married. It was called Ningxiang Ju, which was quiet and elegant. The cold plum trees reflected the snow in the courtyard, and the cold fragrance hit people.

Gu Ling lived here when he came to Liangguo when he was a child.

Situ Ning's room was still the same, with several naive jade-carved dolls on the table. Situ Xie gave them to Gu Ling many years ago when he came to play with them, but he didn't like them and didn't take them with him when he left.

Lin Xie saw a portrait hanging on the wall and walked over to take a look. The girl in the painting stands under the plum blossom tree, raising her head slightly and smiling in the wind. She is extremely beautiful.

It was Situ Ning, but Gu Ling had never seen this painting before.

Looking at the signature, it is dated this year and was painted by Situ Xie.

"Since Ning'er passed away, every year on her birthday, I will draw a portrait of her and hang it in this room until the next year." Situ Xie sighed, "Does Ling'er want to live in this room?"

Gu Ling nodded.

"You guys take a rest for a while. Because the emperor is ill, it is not appropriate to hold a big banquet. I will hold a banquet in the palace tonight and invite Shangshu Lin and General Lin to come and cleanse you." Situ Xie said and left.

"The King of Yue only has one daughter. If he loves his daughter so much, why would he be willing to marry her to the Kingdom of Qian?" Lin Wei expressed confusion, "Now I have to marry my only granddaughter. Although I can't say that the marriage will not be a good one, but the divorce It's so far away, and if anything happens, I won't have the support of my mother's family. If I have a daughter in the future, I must not marry far away, she must be under my nose, and she can't be bullied!"

Lin Wei sighed at Situ Ning's portrait, then turned around and found that Gu Ling was gone.

Looking outside, I saw Gu Ling folding plum blossoms.

"Do you like plum blossoms?" Lin Wei came over and said, "It's beautiful, but it's too cold. I like flowers with bright colors."

Gu Ling broke off three plum blossoms and placed them in a white porcelain vase on the window sill.

The servant Situ Xie arranged for Ningxiangju was not a maid, but a handsome young man named Gu Ming. It was the younger brother of Gu Yue and Gu Xiang who went to Qian Country to invite Su Liang.

After briefly tidying up, Gu Ling and Lin Wei went to the garden of Prince Yue's Mansion.

"Walking in the snow, it would be great if I were Su Xiaoliang, we can recite poems and talk about love in the snow." Lin Xin looked serious, "It would be great if you were Su Xiaoliang, we could walk in the snow Play the last game."

It's a pity that there are only two men, Gu Ling and Lin Wei. It's weird to recite poems and compete with each other. It's okay to have a fight, but they will definitely lose, so Lin Wei chooses not to fight. Although he was not sure he could beat Su Liang, the disparity was not that big.

After following Gu Ling for a walk around the garden, Lin Wei saw that he was looking at the scenery very seriously and felt something was wrong.

"The tree is pretty good," Gu Ling said.

Lin Yi was stunned for a moment, "So?"

"The Changxinhou Mansion is too empty." Gu Ling said.

Lin Qian held his forehead, "Don't tell me, you plan to dig up all the trees in the garden of Prince Yue's Mansion, take them back to Qian Country and plant them in your house?"

Gu Ling nodded, "That's exactly what I meant."

The two of them were sitting in a pavilion by the lake. The lake was covered with thick ice.

Lin Xie made sure that there was no one around, approached Gu Ling and asked in a low voice, "Are you deliberately provoking your grandpa? Do you want to see how far he can tolerate you?"

Gu Ling shook his head, "You are thinking too much."

Lin Wei hummed, "Although I don't know why you don't like your grandpa, but he asked your mother to marry far away, so it's not too much for you to move the garden of Prince Yue's Mansion."

"I want ten of your orange trees," Gu Ling said.

Lin Wei immediately shook his head, "That won't work!"

Gu Ling nodded slightly, "Broken friendship."

Lin Wei held his forehead and explained to Gu Ling that when the orange tree was moved to the capital of Qian Kingdom, the climate changed and it would no longer bear good fruit.

"Let's do this. Every year when the oranges turn red, I'll send people to deliver ten baskets to you!" Lin Wei said that he was definitely not a stingy person.

"Deal." Gu Ling said yes.

"But you didn't give me anything, so how could it be a deal?" Lin Wei suddenly felt that he was at a disadvantage.

"Then break up the relationship." Gu Ling said.

Lin Wei: ...You have to rush to give him gifts before you can be friends with him, right? But it was impossible to break up the friendship. He was still waiting to let his son or daughter kidnap Gu Ling and Su Liang's daughter or son in the future. He had to build a good relationship and ensure that they got married!

But Lin Yi was right about something. Gu Ling wanted to move the garden of Prince Yue's Mansion not because of the deceased Situ Ning, but because he wanted to see how good Situ Xie could be.

He personally went to the city gate to borrow Gu Ling, delivered it to the post house in person, and stood with his whole family to greet him at the gate. He painted Situ Ning's portrait every year... Since Situ Xie cared so much about his grandson, Gu Ling would carry out his willfulness and indifference to the end. Let's see how long Situ Xie can endure it.

The dinner party at Prince Yue's Mansion was held grandly, and almost all the important officials from Liang Kingdom were present, including people from General Peng's Mansion. The prince and another prince came to the royal family.

Peng Wei has recovered from that serious injury, but his hair is all white and he has lost a lot of weight, but he is still in good spirits.

Peng Qian's mobility is no longer hindered and he does not need to use a wheelchair or be supported.

The protagonist of this dinner was Gu Ling, but not long after it started, he left the party with the excuse of a headache. Lin Wei did not go with Gu Ling and stayed behind to help the Lin brothers socialize.

Everyone could see that Gu Ling did not want to deal with the Liang royal family, and he was very withdrawn and did not like to interact with others.

Gu Ming followed Gu Ling back to Ningxiang Residence, and Gu Ling asked him to prepare hot water.

After Gu Ling took a bath, he leaned on the bed and read a few pages before Lin Wei came back.

"Gu Xiaoling, can you please stop relying on your beauty to do whatever you want, without anyone taking it seriously? You left as soon as you said you wanted to, and your cousin the prince's face turned black at that time!" Lin Wei complained, "Is it that uncomfortable? How much pretense is okay?”

Gu Ling shook his head, "I can't act."

If Su Liang were here, he would definitely give Gu Ling a big roll of his eyes.

Lin Wei shrugged, "Forget it, they are all your relatives anyway, let's see how much your grandfather loves you! Should you talk to the King of Yue tomorrow about what the Emperor has told you, or should you wait for Su Xiaoliang to come and treat Emperor Liang? After that, talk to Emperor Liang?"

"Wait." Gu Ling's words were concise and to the point.

Although in fact Situ Xie was very powerful in Liang Kingdom, in name, Duanmu Yi sent Gu Ling to discuss cooperation with the Emperor of Liang Kingdom, and also asked him to visit Situ Xie, an elder.

Gu Ling still didn't know what Duanmu Yi wanted Su Liang to do, and planned to wait until Su Liang arrived and determined her purpose before deciding how to act. Until then, do nothing.

Lin Wei thought this was fine, because if Su Liang arrived late, there would be no reason to stay after they finished their work.

The next day, Gu Ling met Situ Xie again and mentioned that he liked the garden of the Yue Prince's Mansion. The Changxin Marquis Mansion that he was rewarded in the Qian Kingdom was a burned-out ruin.

Situ Xie immediately said that he would soon send craftsmen to the capital of Qian Kingdom to repair Gu Ling's garden.

Lin Xie was listening and felt something was wrong. Wouldn't this be a slap in Duanmu Yi's face? Let everyone in the world know that he treated Gu Ling harshly.

As a result, Gu Ling said that no craftsmen were needed, he only wanted the trees in the garden of Prince Yue's Mansion, and sent someone to Qian Kingdom to hand them over to Nian Jincheng.

Situ Xie also agreed, saying that those trees had grown up with Situ Ning, and Gu Ling wanted them, so she gave them to him.

So that day, the Yue Palace began to dig trees. Many of them were precious ancient trees, which needed to be transported by large trucks. In the freezing season, the cost of transporting them all the way to Qian Country was quite high.

As soon as the news spread, Gu Ling's reputation in Yaocheng took a turn for the worse. Everyone felt that Situ Xie was obedient to him, but he was too willful and it was just nonsense.

"Since we're not talking about business now, let's go out and have some fun!" Lin Wei wanted to drag Gu Ling out.

Gu Ling pushed Lin Xie away and said, "You go and play with Boyan Bojun, I won't go."

"Why?" Lin Xin expressed confusion.

"Tell people, my face gets rash when the wind blows." Gu Ling turned over a page of the book with a nonchalant expression.

Lin Xin coughed slightly, "Forgot. Then you can wear a mask."

Gu Ling shook his head, "It's too cold, so I won't go."

Lin Xian tried to persuade her to no avail, but suddenly he smiled and said, "That's great! This is Su Xiaoliang's first time coming to Liang Country, and she definitely wants to play here. Forget it if you don't want to go, and wait until she comes! I'll tell you first Dalin and Xiaolin are going to explore the road to see where there is fun and delicious food, and let Su Xiaoliang take you there in a few days!"

After saying that, Lin Xie took Gu Ling's cloak and went out.

With the window open, Gu Ling watched Lin Wei disappear at the entrance of the courtyard, nodded slightly, and responded to what he just said, "I'm waiting to play with her."
