The Doctor’s Three-Time Marriage

The day after Gu Ling returned home, Su Liang got up the latest.

She opened her eyes, stood up and lifted the bed curtains, and saw the warm sunlight shining through the window lattice and casting bright spots on the floor.

The room was very quiet, Gu Ling was not here, and Gu Xiaonuan's small bed was empty.

It had been a long time since he had slept so deeply and peacefully. A kind of relaxation from the inside out made Su Liang feel comfortable both physically and mentally.

It was rare for her to be lazy, so she got up and dressed much slower than usual. After packing, she walked to the window, opened it, and saw the winter scenery of the lake. Previously, she always felt lonely and depressed when looking at it every day, but now she felt that it had a concise and elegant connotation. Like an ink painting.

Gu Ling and the children are the most dynamic presence in the painting.

Gu Ling was holding Gu Xiaonuan in one hand and holding a wooden sword in the other, testing the swordsmanship of Zheng'er and Ji Xiaoshu. The two children are very serious and cooperate with each other tacitly. They move around in a very elegant way.

Gu Ling only used one hand, showing her coolness and leisure, while Gu Xiaonuan was very excited and kept cheering for her brothers. Su Liang heard her crisp voice and happy smile.

Not surprisingly, when Gu Xiaonuan gets a little older, he will definitely like to wield swords and guns. Nowadays, several of Su Liang's masters assert that Gu Xiaonuan has amazing bones and is a martial arts prodigy. Su Liang felt that this statement was entirely based on their deep "treasure disciple" filter for Gu Xiaonuan.

Gu Ling saw Su Liang, and while dealing with the two children's attacks, he also lifted Gu Xiaonuan up to say hello to Su Liang.

The smile spread in Su Liang's eyes. She leaned against the window and waved to Gu Ling, then blew another kiss.

Then, Zheng'er's small wooden sword poked Gu Ling's leg.

Of course there was no way they were hurt, but both kids stopped in shock.

Zheng'er looked at his wooden sword in disbelief, then looked at Gu Ling, "I actually stabbed the master!" His tone was very exciting.

Ji Xiaoshu cheered, "Senior Brother, you are mighty! We won today! Master, you can't stop saying that we are slacking off in our martial arts training, haha!"

As Gu Xiaonuan said "Mother" loudly, the two children who were originally focused on the sword fight turned their heads and saw Su Liang, waving to her.

"I understand, Master was distracted just now." Zheng'er said.

Ji Xiaoshu chuckled, "This is Master's wife using a honey trap to help us! No matter what, we won anyway! Master can't beat me!"

As soon as he said that, Ji Xiaoshu was picked up and thrown out by Gu Ling... When Ji Xiaoshu landed skillfully, he complained to Gu Ling's back, "Master, why did you throw me away again? Give me a reason!"

"You're blocking my way." After Gu Ling finished speaking, he flew up and rushed towards Su Liang, leaving the children with a cold back.

Ji Xiaoshu looked at the flat open space around him and looked up at the sky speechlessly.

Zheng'er hugged Gu Xiaonuan and called Ji Xiaoshu over, "Come on, Xiaoshu, let's teach my sister how to walk!"

Ji Xiaoshu came over, put down the wooden sword, and hugged Gu Xiaonuan, "Sister, the only ones who can beat the master are you and the master's wife, but the master's wife was deceived by the master's beauty trap. You grow up quickly and help us defeat the master together!"

Zheng'er couldn't stop laughing, "Xiao Shu, Master likes you very much, that's why he plays with you."

Ji Xiaoshu raised his chin slightly and smiled, "Of course I know this!"

…

Gu Ling returned to the room and closed the window. She hugged Su Liang quietly for a while, then let her go, "You wash up first, and I'll bring breakfast."

"The weather is nice, let's put it outside in the pavilion." Su Liang said.

Gu Ling nodded and went downstairs.

By the time Su Liang washed up and changed clothes and went out, Gu Ling had already placed breakfast in the pavilion.

Seeing two pairs of bowls and chopsticks, Su Liang thought that Gu Ling was waiting for her and hadn't eaten yet. As a result, Gu Ling said that he had eaten with everyone, and then had another meal with Su Liang, "My stomach was abused when I was outside earlier, and I need to compensate."

Su Liang couldn't help laughing, "You must take good care of yourself."

The two sat across from each other to have breakfast. The porridge, vegetables and pies were all made by Gu Ling himself. Su Liang took a bite and sighed, "My God, your cooking is delicious."

"What do you want to eat for lunch?" Gu Ling asked.

"Let me make you steamed buns with dried beans and meat." Su Liang suggested, "It's the same dry beans that Aunt Bai gave you when you brought the fake Yan Shiba back. Half of them were left. I made steamed buns with meat once, and everyone liked it. Love to eat.”

After Gu Ling asked about the method, he said that he should do it. Although he was the one who went out, he knew that Su Liang was also very tired.

As soon as breakfast was finished, Su Liang heard Zheng'er cheering, "My sister can walk!"

Zheng'er and Ji Xiaoshu made a sedan chair with their hands and carried Gu Xiaonuan over, then placed her on the ground. They held hands and held Gu Xiaonuan in the middle to prevent her from falling, and then coaxed her to take a few steps.

"She wears such thick clothes, it won't be a problem if she falls." Su Liang said with a smile.

"No!" Gu Ling, Zheng'er and Ji Xiaoshu expressed their opposition in unison.

Su Liang: ...Okay, just pretend she didn't say anything.

Gu Ling smiled gently, stretched out his hand to his daughter, and asked her to come over.

"Dad~" Gu Xiaonuan stood firmly, stretched out her little hand, and asked Gu Ling to hug her.

"Nuan Nuan, come here." Gu Ling said warmly.

"Daddy~" Gu Xiaonuan called again.

"Master, don't come over, my sister will leave!" Zheng'er felt that Gu Ling was about to waver, so he quickly stopped him and coaxed Gu Xiaonuan, "If my sister wants to be hugged by the master, just walk over! It's just two steps! What did you just do? Aren’t you going to leave?”

Gu Xiaonuan raised his feet and took a step.

"Wow! My sister is so amazing!" Zheng'er immediately praised.

Ji Xiaoshu also praised, "Sister, come again! Keep moving forward!"

Gu Ling looked like "my daughter is so cute and awesome", expecting Gu Xiaonuan to come to him.

Su Liang felt that Gu Xiaonuan would have left long ago, but she was just lazy because there were too many people who liked to hug her.

Under the strict protection of his two brothers, Gu Xiaonuan successfully walked to Gu Ling and was picked up by him and placed on his lap.

Qiu Cong's surprised voice sounded not far away, "Will Nuannuan leave?"

…

Near noon, Duanmu Chen came to the Su Mansion with Chang'an in plain clothes.

After learning that Gu Ling had returned, Duanmu Chen came to see him, but when he entered Yuanming Pavilion, he saw no one.

Ji Xiaoshu, who was reading a complete book on medicinal materials, raised his head and said, "Uncle Emperor, are you looking for my master? He and his wife are steaming buns in the kitchen!"

When Chang An heard this, Duanmu Chen's eyes lit up. It is said that he chose to come here at this time because he was determined to get some food. I originally wanted to bring my two children with me, but it was cold outside and Queen Mother Xiao was afraid that the children would be frozen and refused to take her.

When Duanmu Chen walked to the door of the kitchen, he saw Su Liang sitting on a small bench lighting the fire, and Gu Ling kneading dough. The bun fillings are ready.

"Ahem!" Duanmu Chen made a voice to indicate that he was coming.

"The Emperor is here." Su Liang greeted casually without getting up.

Duanmu Chen smiled, "Where are the steamed buns? Let's talk about business after you finish cooking."

"Your Majesty, you can just say that you will return to the palace early to deal with political affairs." Gu Ling looked calm.

Duanmu Chen shook his head, "There's no hurry." After saying that, he turned around and left. Just kidding, you’ve come here, wouldn’t it be a shame to go back without having a meal? Recently, I feel more and more that the palace is very deserted, but the Su Mansion is still lively.

So Duanmu Chen returned to Yuanming Pavilion, sat next to Ji Xiaoshu, and found him reading a book on medicinal materials. He was a little surprised, "Xiaoshu, do you want to learn medical skills?"

Ji Xiaoshu did not raise his head, "I am Master's wife's apprentice, so of course I have to learn medical skills."

Duanmu Chen looked approvingly, "Very good. I hope you, like your wife, will one day become a world-famous miracle doctor."

"It's necessary!" Ji Xiaoshu is very smart, but he is not particularly interested in reading and practicing martial arts. Although he is good at both, what he really likes is the medical skills taught by Su Liang. It is his interest and he is particularly serious.

Duanmu Chen looked at Ji Xiaoshu, wishing that his children would grow up so big immediately, so that they could quickly start going to school with Su Liang and Gu Ling, so as to avoid the trouble of running away after dealing with Gu Ling and Su Liang one day.

Gu Ling's steamed buns were brought to Yuanming Pavilion. After washing his hands, Duanmu Chen started eating with the children. He couldn't help but sigh, "Your master's skill in making buns is really amazing." From Sujia Village to now, That's what he was thinking about. Su Liang did it initially, but now Gu Ling does it better. Duanmu Chen had also asked Su Liang for the recipe for steamed buns and the recipes for various home-cooked dishes in the Su family before. The imperial chef in the palace made them more exquisite, but he still felt that it was a bit boring.

"Uncle Emperor, is there any news about my father?" Ji Xiaoshu finished eating a bun and suddenly thought of Ji Yuebai.

Duanmu Chen shook his head, "I told you the last news about him. There is no new news yet. Don't worry, your father said last time that he would come back before the end of the year. It should be soon."

"I hope so." Ji Xiaoshu nodded, "Aunt Yue and Uncle Bai Yang are waiting to get married, and my father is the only one missing."

Duanmu Chen's lips twitched slightly, "Xiao Shu is such a good boy."

After lunch, Gu Ling put Gu Xiaonuan to sleep first, and then went to the pavilion by the lake to talk to Duanmu Chen.

Ignoring the point about time travel, Gu Ling roughly told Duanmu Chen about his previous experience of going out. Duanmu Chen frowned when he heard the danger.

"What do they want to do? Since you know that the island has been exposed, why don't you leave and hide somewhere else?" Duanmu Chen is a shrewd person and quickly discovered the key to the matter.

Gu Ling's face was calm, "There is a forbidden area on the island. I don't know what is inside yet, but there must be a mystery." This is completely true.

"Also, I have always wanted to ask you, how did the people of Xingluo Island avoid us and send the food and grass from Yan Kingdom to Liang Kingdom in such a short period of time?" Duanmu Chen asked.

"Su Liang and I suspected that they had some magic weapon," Gu Ling said.

Duanmu Chen was stunned for a moment, "What did you say?"

"Magic weapon." Gu Ling repeated the last two words.

Duanmu Chen's eyes widened, "Are you talking about the kind of treasures only possessed by gods in the sky?"

Gu Ling nodded, "I guess."

Duanmu Chen was silent for a long time, then spoke again, lowering his voice, "Are you really able to predict the future? Are you a god descending to earth? Su Liang too? Or do you know how to cultivate immortality?"

Gu Ling shook his head, "I'm not. It's just a matter of food and grass. Common sense cannot explain it. In addition, there are some mysteries on Xingluo Island, so I guessed it like this."

But Duanmu Chen raised his hand and patted Gu Ling on the shoulder, giving him a look - I understand, even if I can't say it clearly, I understand.

By now, Gu Ling and Su Liang had a high degree of trust in Duanmu Chen. There were some things that Duanmu Chen could guess even if Gu Ling didn't tell them. But with his imagination, he was still far from guessing the complete truth.

The matter of food and grass can only be explained in this way, and it is not a lie. Gu Ling and Su Liang still don't know what kind of thing Mo Yan's "portable space" is. Is it stored in his mind, or is it an object? To say "magic weapon" is very appropriate.

But after saying this, Duanmu Chen didn't ask any further. He felt that Gu Ling and Su Liang were not ordinary people. In view of their long-standing relationship and the help Gu Ling and Su Liang had given him, Duanmu Chen absolutely trusted them and felt more at ease knowing that they might be "higher" than him.

In the end, Duanmu Chen took two steamed buns with him when he left, saying that he was filial to the Queen Mother Xiao. But on the way back to the palace, he ate one.

In the afternoon, Gu Ling and the children caught three fat fish, two of which he made into fried fish pieces, and the remaining one was braised for dinner.

Gu Ling picks fish bones for Gu Xiaonuan and feeds her fish. The scene is very warm.

Ji Xiaoshu asked Gu Ling if he could help him pick out fish bones. Gu Ling shook his head, "You have hands, you can use them."

Ji Xiaoshu nodded obediently, "I can still help Master's wife pick out fish bones, but Master's wife won't let me. Master, shall we go hiking tomorrow?"

Zheng'er also looked forward to it. Gu Ling took them to climb a mountain once. They had a lot of fun that time and have always missed it.

Gu Ling looked at Su Liang and nodded, "Let's go then. Chengyun will go too." What she and Gu Ling need to do for the time being is to think about how to deal with Xingluo Island next, and they don't have to sit at home and think about it. Maybe if you go out for a walk, you will find something unexpected.

The children cheered and said they were going to find the tadpoles they had known before.

Chengyun said to Su Liang seriously, "You should call me brother."

Su Liang raised his eyebrows, "When Gu Ling screams, I will scream."

Chengyun looked at Gu Ling and said, "Brother-in-law Gu."

Gu Ling looked calm and said, "You have a beautiful idea."

Chengyun: ...The children all call him uncle anyway, regardless of this couple who always likes to tease him.

…

It was night, Gu Xiaonuan had already gone to bed, Gu Ling and Su Liang sat on the bed and mentioned Yan Shiba.

"This season, Wolong Mountain is covered with heavy snow. The thought of finding Yan Shiba inside is not only slim but also very dangerous." Su Liang sighed, "Are you going to find her? Let's wait until Sheng Yue brings her to us. ?”

"We won't look for her for now." Gu Ling said, "If she is alive now, Sheng Yue will not kill her in the future."

"I was thinking, since there is a treasure land guarded by Mo Yan on Xingluo Island, why not just blow it up?" Su Liang suggested, "Now that Mo Yan has no other hostages in his hands, as long as he destroys the island, he has his own whims. His purpose is no longer possible. Originally, it has nothing to do with us whether he wants to leave or stay, but he will do anything to achieve his goal and insists on harming us, so it is safest to send him to the west as soon as possible. "

"It's feasible." Gu Ling said thoughtfully, "I'm thinking of letting Pucheng go and let him find Sheng Yue and bring him a letter."

Su Liang's expression changed, "Master, do you want to cooperate with Sheng Yue?"

Gu Ling nodded, "As Pucheng said, Sheng Yue's purpose is to travel through time to see the world where her mother came from. The test subject needed can be me or Mo Yan, and Mo Yan is better."

"I thought so, but I have some doubts that Pucheng may just think that Sheng Yue's purpose is what he thinks." Su Liang said, "What if Sheng Yue has other motives? Of course, as long as he is willing to show up, he will It's a good thing for us. I just think it might be useless, but it's worth a try. Anyway, Pucheng is already dead and can't make any waves. It's impossible for anyone else to find Sheng Yue except him."

Although people can be arranged to follow Pucheng, it is difficult to avoid Sheng Yue even if Pucheng is not noticed, which is very dangerous.

So, after Su Liang and Gu Ling discussed it, they released Pucheng before dawn and asked him to bring a letter to Sheng Yue. The letter was sealed in an iron box by Gu Ling and tied to Pucheng in a complicated way that he could not untie. Of course, he might not go to Sheng Yue, but considering Pucheng's current situation, even if Sheng Yue gives up on him, he will still go to the capable son instead of continuing to be a monk in the temple. Being a monk was not what he wanted in the first place.
