The Doctor’s Three-Time Marriage

Qianguo Xuanbeicheng.

As we enter the twelfth lunar month, the weather is getting colder.

On this day, someone from the capital came with a transfer order for Chen Yun.

Duanmu Yi listened to Xing Ji's suggestion and sent Chen Yun to the south as a general, and he was promoted to one rank. Along with Nian Jincheng before the accident and Lin Bojun now, he became the highest-ranking young general in the Qianguo Army.

Xing Ji sent someone to call Chen Yun and read out the transfer order.

After seeing off the people from the capital, Chen Yun breathed a sigh of relief, bowed deeply, and solemnly thanked Xing Ji for his constant care and guidance.

Xing Ji helped Chen Yun stand up and pulled him to sit down, "There are no outsiders, so there is no need to be so formal. Your abilities and character are both outstanding. You are where you are today because of yourself. There is something I have always wanted to talk to you about."

Chen Yun said seriously, "Master Hou, please speak."

"Before Lin Wei came to Xuanbei City, I always thought you had a cheerful personality. After Lin Wei came, I compared the two of you, and I felt more and more that you were very worried, but you just didn't want to show it." Xing Ji asked earnestly, "Yes Is it because of your brother?”

Hearing this, Chen Yun narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "I took my little brother out to play and lost him. If I can't find him, I will never be able to forgive myself in this life."

Xing Ji was stunned for a moment. They all only knew that Chen Yun had a lost brother. This was the first time they heard that Chen Xiao was abducted when Chen Yun took him out to play.

Xing Ji sighed, "You were not very young at that time, how could you guard against the scheming kidnapper living here? Don't blame yourself too much."

"Actually, I know that both my parents hate me." Chen Yun smiled bitterly, "It's just that they tried their best to hide it and didn't want me to see it. Once, I just said that we should look forward and live a good life now. I I will never forget the way my parents looked at me. A few days ago, Su Liang came and said that it might be much better for my parents to have their grandson if I got married, but I knew it would not be good. If we get married, my parents will only hate me even more, because my brother’s life and death are uncertain, and I don’t know where he is suffering. What qualifications do I have to live happily?”

Xing Ji frowned, "How can you think so? Your parents are depressed and can't let go. You should give them some relief. How can your family live a good life if you torture yourself like this?"

Chen Yun took a deep breath, shook his head and said, "Actually, there is nothing bad about my life now. My parents are here, I have no worries about food and clothing, I have a few friends, and I can still do what I want to do. Compared to my little brother who is somewhere I don't know. , I am already very happy. There is no need for Mr. Hou to persuade me, I know what I am doing.”

Xing Ji patted Chen Yun on the shoulder again, "That's all, that's the case, I won't say more." He personally experienced that outsiders couldn't empathize with family matters, and it was often useless to talk about them with rationale. Family love can become a source of support, but many times it can also become an inescapable bondage, or even a boulder that can't be pushed away from the heart.

The emperor's order has been issued, and Chen Yun will set off south within three days.

"You go back and tell your parents carefully. They can follow you to the south and continue to look for your brother. Su Liang is also helping you look for him. Leave a servant here at home. If Chen Xiao comes back, let them come to me. I'll notify you as soon as possible." Xing Ji walked Chen Yun to the door.

Chen Yun nodded, "Thank you, Lord Marquis." After saying that, he took a deep breath, "It's time for me to go back and explain to my parents that I'm going to the south."

"Go ahead and talk it over. If it doesn't work, tell me and I'll talk to them." Xing Ji said.

…

Chen Yun returned to Chen's house. The house was quiet, but he knew everyone was there.

After entering Chen's father and Chen's mother's room, he turned around and closed the door. Chen Yun walked over and sat down. Chen's mother handed him a cup of hot tea.

Father Chen asked, "Has the transfer order arrived? When will we set off?"

Chen Yun looked calm and said, "The day after tomorrow. Tomorrow I will accompany my mother to burn incense at Ping'an Temple."

Father Chen nodded, "Okay."

Chen Yun's mother grabbed Chen Yun's arm, with tears in her eyes, "This time when you go to the south, as long as you finish the work for the master, will he return our children?"

Chen Yun held the teacup in one hand, looked down at Chen's mother's thin and pale hand holding his, and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, I will get your child back."

"Then...what about you?" Chen's mother's voice became more choked up.

Father Chen frowned, "Why are you asking this? The young master is the grandson of the lord, so the lord will naturally make arrangements."

Hearing this, Chen Yun put down the teacup and gently took away Chen's mother's hand. When he raised his head again, there was no warmth in his eyes, "When the matter is over, we will have nothing to do with each other." After saying this, he stood up and left.

Chen's father looked at Chen Yun's back, his eyes dull, not knowing what he was thinking.

But Chen's mother covered her face and cried bitterly, "He is also a child raised by us..."

…

Liangguo Yaocheng.

Gu Ling lived in Prince Yue's Mansion and rarely went out. Apart from reading in his room every day, he also went for a walk in the garden.

The original garden of Prince Yue's Mansion was very beautiful, but now most of the trees have been cut down. Although new ones were quickly planted, the scenery is not as good as before.

It was a sunny day, so Lin Xie went out early in the morning and usually didn't come back until dark.

In the afternoon, Gu Ling sat alone in the pavilion in the middle of the lake in the garden of Prince Yue's Mansion. The pavilion was surrounded by thick curtains. He opened the curtain facing him and could see the lake covered with thick ice. and the exquisite tower in the corner of the garden.

It was a three-story wooden tower. Gu Ling and Situ Ning had gone inside once when they came to the Yue Palace when they were children. It was filled with ancient books collected by Situ Xie.

"cousin."

Hearing this, Gu Ling looked away and turned around to see the curtain behind her being opened and Situ Yao walking in carrying a tray.

"This is the pastry I just made. Cousin, try it." Situ Yao opened the lid, and a sweet aroma wafted out.

The cakes in Yaocheng of Liang Kingdom were generally sweeter than those in Qian Kingdom. Gu Ling didn't like them and didn't touch the cakes sent to him before.

When Situ Yao learned about it, she specially made a less sweet red date cake for him, cut it into small pieces, and arranged it in the shape of plum blossoms.

However, there was a misunderstanding. Gu Ling had no special preference for plum blossoms, it was just his mother's favorite. When Gu Ling was looking at the flowers, he often thought about whether Su Liang could make something delicious with the flowers...

Gu Ling picked up a piece of red date cake and tasted it. When Situ Yao asked how it was, he just nodded slightly and said nothing.

Situ Yao laughed, "If my cousin is willing to eat it, I will consider it a success."

Gu Ling finished a piece and wiped his hands, "Thank you."

"Why are you so polite?" Situ Yao smiled brightly, "Next year I will marry to the Kingdom of Qian, and my cousin will be my only natal family there. I will ask my cousin to take care of me then."

"Okay." Gu Ling nodded.

"I heard that the miracle doctor Su Liangsu whom I admire is pursuing my cousin!" Situ Yao asked Gu Ling with a smile, "Don't my cousin like her? She is so beautiful, has great martial arts skills, and has great medical skills."

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

"Then what kind of girl does my cousin like?" Situ Yao asked.

Gu Ling shook his head again, "I don't even like it."

Situ Yao looked surprised, "My cousin is very close to that Young Master Lin. Could it be that you..."

Gu Ling's expression was indifferent, "If I live on my own, will I be punished by God?"

Situ Yao was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and waved her hands quickly, "I didn't mean anything else. I was just joking. Cousin, don't be angry."

"I'm not angry. But you blocked my view of the scenery." Gu Ling faced Situ Yao, but looked into the distance.

Situ Yao glanced behind her and stood up awkwardly, "Then I'll go back first. Let Gu Ming tell me what my cousin wants to eat."

Gu Ling was left alone. He picked up another piece of jujube cake. He felt it was far inferior to the one made by Su Liang. The more he ate, the more he missed Su Liang. He thought to himself, he didn't want to live alone...

Lin Qian came back in the evening that day and brought back an ice sculpture as tall as a person.

It was getting dark, and the lanterns on the corridor gave off a dim light.

Lin Wei placed the ice sculpture under the eaves and called Gu Ling through the window, "Gu Xiaoling, come and see what this is?"

Gu Ling walked to the window, took a look, and answered, "Bing."

"Look carefully, take a good look, who is this?" Lin Xin pretended to be mysterious.

Gu Ling said another word, "You?"

Lin Yi was speechless, "There is something wrong with your eyes. This is obviously a woman! Su Liang! Su Xiaoliang! Did you see it?"

Gu Ling shook his head, "It has nothing to do with her."

Lin Wei held his forehead and said, "There is a shop selling ice sculptures on the street. I bought a piece of ice and took it to the inn. I carved it for a day and brought it back to you as a gift. Can you give me some face?"

"Your carving..." Gu Ling's voice paused.

Lin Yan blinked, "Do you think it's okay?"

"Give up." Gu Ling turned around after speaking.

Lin Xian looked at the ice sculpture, "I think it looks quite similar! Gu Xiaoling, did you mean to say it doesn't look like it? Anyway, just leave it here and it won't melt. When Su Xiaoliang arrives, let her do it by herself." Doesn’t it look like me? Do you dislike my carving and do the same thing as you?”

…

Early the next morning, Lin Wei opened the door, smiled and waved to the ice sculpture on the corridor, "Good morning, Su Xiaoliang!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Yi rubbed his eyes and asked, "Where is Su Xiaoliang who is as big as me?"

"Look to the left." A cold voice came from Gu Ling's room.

Lin Wei turned left and saw a plum blossom tree. Hearing Gu Ling say "lower your head", he moved his eyes downward and saw... an ice sculptured rabbit under the plum blossom tree?

"Su Xiaoliang! Su Xiaoliang, what's wrong with you?" Lin Xian whined and rushed over, "Su Xiaoliang, why did you become a spirit? Ahhhhh, I'm sorry for you, Gu Xiaoling, you bastard! You bastard, your bastard Why is the work so good? This rabbit is so beautiful! There is also a stick. What is the stick for? "

Gu Ling opened the window and said quietly, "That's a carrot."

"Does Su Xiaoliang like to eat radishes? Haha! When she comes, I will tell you that this is your love token for her!" Lin Xin pinched the crystal clear ears of the ice sculptured bunny, then stood up and carefully selected two more A plum blossom placed on a rabbit's ears, "looks more like Su Xiaoliang."

"Lin Xi."

Hearing Gu Ling call his name, Lin Xi turned his head and was hit in the face by a snowball.

"Gu Xiaoling, what are you doing?" Lin Wei was speechless.

"I'm hungry." Gu Ling looked calm, "Go buy the delicious breakfast you mentioned yesterday."

Lin Wei said angrily, "I'm not your follower!"

"Broken friendship." Gu Ling closed the window after saying that.

Lin Xian was so angry, "Just buy it! Just wait!" After saying that, he rushed out.

Gu Ling opened the window again and saw the ice-carved bunny under the plum blossom tree. His eyes suddenly became gentle. It belonged to him and he didn't want Lin Xian to play with it.

…

After Lin Xin bought breakfast and returned to Yuewang Mansion, he and Gu Ling ate together before going out to the post house alone.

The Lin brothers are waiting for him. They made an appointment yesterday to go hiking together today. Situ Jing had no time to spare and arranged for his twin brothers to accompany him. They both knew martial arts and were not weak in strength.

"Da Lin, are you okay? Why don't you go play chess with Gu Xiaoling." Lin Wei felt that Lin Boyan's body might not be able to climb up.

They were going to the most famous Wolong Snow Mountain in Yaocheng. At this time of year, it was cold and the roads were slippery, making it difficult to climb. The twin brothers specially prepared hiking boots, windproof leather jackets, hats, gloves, crutches and other items for them.

Lin Boyan wanted to go, but considering his own health and fear of causing trouble to them, he gave up. "You go, pay attention to safety, and come back down the mountain early. I will go to the palace later to find Marquis Changxin to play chess."

"Calculating the time, Su Xiaoliang will arrive in two days." Lin Wei said, "Xiao Lin and I will explore the road first, and then let Su Xiaoliang accompany Gu Xiaoling."

Climbing Wolong Snow Mountain is a challenge that the martial arts practitioners of the Liang Kingdom like to do in winter. In previous years, there were mountaineering competitions organized by the royal family, so the twin brothers of the Situ family were familiar with it, and they even brought a team of guards.

After they set off, Lin Boyan took a carriage to Prince Yue's Mansion.

Walking into Ningxiang Residence, when Lin Boyan was admiring the snowy plum blossoms, he saw the ice sculpture bunny under the tree. When he saw Gu Ling, he asked him, "Did you make it?"

Gu Ling nodded.

"If I remember correctly, the purse Xiaoliang often wears has a rabbit embroidered on it. Is it a gift from you?" Lin Boyan asked.

Gu Ling nodded again.

"You like her." Lin Boyan said with certainty.

Gu Ling asked back, "No?"

Lin Boyan shook his head, "I can't control it. Just take your time and play."

…

Lin Boyan stayed in Prince Yue's Mansion for most of the day. When the sun was about to set, he was about to leave when Gu Ming ran in. "The prince asked me to tell the young master that Dr. Su from the Kingdom of Qian will be here soon!"

Gu Ling immediately closed the book in his hand, stood up, sat back, and said to Lin Boyan, "Go pick her up and tell her I'm here."

When Lin Boyan arrived at the door of Prince Yue's Mansion, he heard the sound of horse hooves.

Four people came on horseback, one of them was Su Liang. It was two days earlier than Situ Xie expected.

Situ Xie hurriedly came out to welcome him, "Dr. Su, thank you for your hard work!"

Su Liang turned over and dismounted neatly, took off the hood of his cloak, revealing his small face as big as a palm, and held his hands to Situ Xie, "His Royal Highness, King of Yue, we meet again. I heard that Marquis Changxin lives in the Palace of King Yue, I wonder if I can live there. Here?"

Situ Xie smiled broadly and said, "Of course, I have prepared a place for Dr. Su to stay. It is too late today. Dr. Su will rest for the night and will accompany me to the palace to see the emperor tomorrow morning."

Su Liang nodded, looked at Lin Boyan, and called him big brother.

Lin Boyan smiled, "Bo Jun and Lin Wei went to climb the snow-capped mountains. They should have descended the mountain by now."

Su Liang was stunned for a moment, "You're not back yet? Are you sure you're going down the mountain?"

Lin Boyan frowned upon hearing this, and Situ Xie's expression condensed, and he immediately sent someone over to check.

Su Liang said that she wanted to meet Gu Ling first because she had business, so Situ Xie personally took her to Ningxiang Residence.

Lin Boyan was worried about Lin Bojun and Lin Wei and did not leave. He planned to wait for news at the Yue Prince's Mansion.

"This is the courtyard where Ling'er's mother lived before she got married." Situ Xie took Su Liang into Ningxiang Residence, "Ling'er, the divine doctor Su is here."

The door was closed tightly, and Gu Ling's cold voice came from inside, "I know, I'm not sick, so I won't waste her time."

Su Liang: ...The acting was really good. She understood it completely, but suddenly she wanted to kick him.

"Doctor Su has business with you." Situ Xie knocked on the door.

Gu Ling opened the door, and Su Liang stepped in and quickly closed the door, "I want to talk to Gu Hou alone. King Yue, brother, you all go back."

Lin Boyan shook his head helplessly, "What a nonsense."

Situ Xie smiled and said, "I think they are a good match."

…

In the room, Su Liang was already hugged by Gu Ling.

"Okay, okay, when we meet, we should shake hands." Su Liang pushed Gu Ling away.

"I remember it wrong." Gu Ling said, holding Su Liang's hand, "Why is it so cold?"

"I just came from the ice and snow, so of course it's cold." Su Liang said.

Gu Ling nodded, "I'll give it to you..."

Before he finished speaking, a voice came from the courtyard, "Your Majesty, it's not good!"

Su Liang's expression changed, she shook off Gu Ling's hand and opened the door and went out.

Gu Ling frowned slightly and followed to the eaves.

I heard a man kneel in front of Situ Xie and report that today the two young masters took Lin Bojun and Lin Xie to climb a mountain, and Lin Xie accidentally slipped off the cliff and has not been found yet.

"I will send troops over immediately..." Situ Xie said and turned around, only to see that the door was open and Gu Ling and Su Liang were gone.
