Chapter 215 215. Rabbit Purse
Waking up early in the morning, Su Liang went for a run in the garden to practice exercises. By the time the sun rose, she had already washed, changed and tidied up.

The old butler came over to deliver the breakfast in person, looking at Su Liang with admiration mixed with pride.He had no doubt at all that with such a talented, hard-working, upright and kind Patriarch, the Ning family would definitely get better and better.

It's just that the more he thinks like this, the greater the regret in his heart, and he really hopes that Ning Jing is still alive.

"Miss is a person who does big things, and she can't be left alone. The old slave has a granddaughter, who is 14 years old this year. Although she is a bit clumsy, she can do laundry and cooking, and she is honest and obedient. If Miss doesn't dislike her... ..." The old butler pondered his words, and mentioned to Su Liang about arranging the maids.

Although the old butler is a slave, compared to ordinary people, he is already considered a wealthy family, and he does not need his children and grandchildren to serve others to make a living.He really likes Su Liang, and he has been thinking about picking a safe maid for her for the past two days, but outsiders are not at ease.

Su Liang was thinking about something, his mind was a little distracted, but he also heard the general idea, and quickly said, "No, I will return to Beijing in a few days, I can't stay here for a long time."

"When we go back to the capital, we need someone to take care of us." The old housekeeper spoke earnestly.

Su Liang shook his head, "It's really not necessary, if necessary, I will find it myself."

The old butler looked a little disappointed, but said nothing.

After all the servants had left, Su Liang went to the next door to call Gu Ling, and seeing that he was not there, he ignored him, had breakfast by himself, and then went to the front hall to continue what he hadn't done yesterday.

After a while, the eldest son of the prefect's mansion came to give a gift of thanks, and when he saw Su Liang, he knelt down and kowtowed.It was his wife who had a difficult labor yesterday.

Su Liang asked about the situation of the mother and child, and explained some precautions.

The thank you gift was very precious, she accepted it without refusing.There was also a bronzing invitation, inviting her to attend the child's third baptism.

Su Liang thought that there must be a lot of guests at that time, and she would be watched like a panda in the zoo when she went, so she declined, saying that she would go out of the city to visit friends that day, and she would not be free.

When the guests left, the stewards who were waiting all the time felt that the Ning family was very different from before.

It wasn't until noon that day that the stewards finished their first round of reports.

Su Liang looked at a group of old men, the youngest of whom were over 40 years old, and felt that the Ning family's business management needed young blood.She wanted to learn about the whole process of the tea business, but she didn't have the time and energy to take care of such a big deal by herself.

It would be great if there was an "assistant to the head of the family"... Su Liang thought, it would be much easier to find a capable person to manage the Ning family's business for her.

So during lunch, Su Liang had a preliminary plan.

In the afternoon, all the chief executives were called for a meeting, and Su Liang announced that he would "recruit" a chief executive.

The reason why we say "recruitment" is that it is not limited to selecting from among the stewards of the Ning family, but also for people outside the Ning family.

Because of Su Liang's kindness, some stewards boldly pointed out that it was not safe to recruit someone to sit in such an important position from outside.

"I just took over the Ning family's business, and I have only met you in the past two days, and I don't know much about it." Su Liang said with a faint expression, "I will personally select a manager, and those who are able will live. If you are interested, Just come and look for me. If someone outside Ning's family comes to apply for the job, I will find out the details."

……

That day, Ning's family posted a recruitment notice in the most conspicuous place in the city, which caused a sensation in the city.

The word "general manager" is shocking, because no open recruitment company will directly recruit outsiders for such an important position.

And the recruitment notice is also written in a unique style: those who are capable live here, and you come if you have the courage.

It makes people find it interesting at first sight, and then they feel that Su Liang is definitely a courageous person, otherwise he wouldn't be able to do such a thing.

It was not until dinner that Su Liang saw Gu Ling again.

She had left behind the matter of asking for a painting and giving up last night, and asked where Gu Ling had been during the day.

"Collecting herbs." Gu Ling said.

It was only then that Su Liang noticed that there was a pannier on the ground next to him.She put down her chopsticks and looked over. There were quite a few herbs inside, two of which were quite rare.

"Master, you really know how to find trouble." Su Liang sat back with a smile, and continued to eat.

This is a compliment to Gu Ling. Although there is nothing important to do, he can always find his own interests and make his life very fulfilling. It is also a very powerful ability.

"I'm recruiting the manager today, do you know?" Su Liang asked, "Why don't you apply for the job with a different identity? I'll hire you as an assistant, and I believe you are qualified."

Gu Ling shook her head and refused bluntly, "I'm not interested." There are too many things that he doesn't like, so it's a waste of time for him.

"Forget it." Su Liang just asked casually.When planning to recruit people, Gu Ling was not considered.

After dinner, yesterday's old steward brought his son again, and they left after Su Liang finished giving acupuncture.

Gu Ling was processing the medicinal materials she had picked, while Su Liang was talking to the old housekeeper in the yard.

"It's his useless younger brother. If he wants to kill his son, he can adopt his own son to him and take over the family business he has earned all his life." The old housekeeper talked about the inside story of the poisoning of the old steward's son yesterday, and sighed repeatedly. "He raised his younger brother's family, but he turned out to be a group of unfamiliar white-eyed wolves. It's really chilling!"

There is no difference with Su Liang's guess, and it is also very similar to what happened to Peng Wei and his son.

Good people are bullied by others. Some people will do anything evil for the sake of money and power, regardless of human ethics and morality.

The old steward has found the evidence, reported it to the officials, and kicked out his younger brother's family.

After talking about this matter, the old butler asked about Su Liang's recruitment again, and mentioned a person, "When the master was alive, he always praised him as a business genius. It should be him. After the young lady married Ning Feng, the master tried every means to keep him, but he still left, and he didn't know where he went."

The person the old housekeeper said was surnamed Song, with a single name of Qi, and his ancestors were once prominent, but he has long since declined in his generation. Because he likes tea, he came to the Ning family in Xunyang City to find work, and was discovered by Mr. Ning that he was a talent. However, Ning Qing's mother, Ning Qingqing, disliked Song Qi's mediocre appearance, and instead fell in love with Ning Feng, an ambitious little boy, causing disaster.

Su Liang became interested when he heard that, "Do you know where Song Qi is now?"

The old butler shook his head, "He has gone far away and has not heard from him for many years, but this old slave still remembers that his hometown is in the south. If Miss is interested, this old slave will send someone to find him?"

Su Liang nodded immediately, "Since he is the person Grandpa Ning likes, he must not be bad, so let's look for it. But time has changed, whether he is still willing to go back to Ning's house, whether he still has the ability and determination of his youth, all depends. It depends on the situation, I won't definitely use him because of his relationship with the Ning family in the past."

The old butler nodded again and again, "That's natural."

When the old housekeeper left, Su Liang returned to the study, and Gu Ling had already cleaned up the medicinal materials picked today.

Hearing Su Liang mention Song Qi's name, Gu Ling said, "I know."

Su Liang was surprised, "Do you know him?"

Gu Ling nodded, "That's right. I saved him."

Su Liang blinked, "The one with blackened Yintang? You have saved a lot of people, tell me about Song Qi?"

"He should be helping Lin Ershan grow oranges now." Gu Ling said.

Su Liang raised his forehead, "Why is it related to Lin Qian? By the way, it is said that the Song family is in the south."

Gu Ling mentioned that when he was 13 years old, he secretly went to the south of Qianguo to play. It was autumn, and the citrus orchard of Lin’s family was very famous. He went to pick oranges, but saw a person whose seal was black, so he stared at him two days.

"Ning Feng hired murderers to get rid of him." Gu Ling said.

It turned out that Gu Ling saved Song Qi's life by chance, but Song Qi didn't know about it.At that time, Gu Ling only heard his name.

"Master, tell me honestly, did you go to Lin's house to steal oranges?" Su Liang asked with a half-smile.

Gu Ling nodded and directly admitted.

But Su Liang couldn't imagine the 13-year-old Gu Ling secretly sneaking into the citrus orchard, sitting on the tree and stealing oranges to eat.Because he is too aloof now, that kind of thing always makes Su Liang think of his grandson picking flat peaches...

"Were you very lively when you were 13?" Su Liang asked curiously.

Gu Ling shook her head, "No."

Su Liang smiled softly, "Unless you draw me a picture of you going to Lin Ershan's orange orchard to steal oranges at the age of 13, and let me see what it looks like, otherwise I will treat you as if you entered the flat peach orchard with Sun Monkey! "

After the words fell, Su Liang couldn't help thinking of Gu Ling's appearance as the Monkey King, the more he thought about it, the happier he became.

Gu Ling frowned slightly, looked at Su Liang who was laughing at him, suddenly raised her hand, and hit her.

Su Liang couldn't dodge in time, and was hit on the forehead by Gu Ling's finger.

Actually, it didn't hurt, but she was speechless, "Master, are you angry from embarrassment?"

Gu Ling looked indifferent, "Don't try to lie to my painting."

Su Liang snorted softly, "Then I won't tell you stories in the future."

"That's what I said before, and you can't keep your word." Gu Ling said.

Su Liang held his forehead.Indeed, Gu Ling is a person who likes to make everything clear, especially between them. Whatever he wants Su Liang to do, she has made a clear promise.

And what Su Liang said, he would never deny it.

Su Liang stopped joking, and said sternly, "I will tell Yu Bo where Song Qi is tomorrow and ask him to send someone over to ask. If you want to come back, the Ning family will naturally welcome you, and if you don't want to, forget it."

That night, Su Liang talked about "Song Jiang Killing Xi" in "Water Margin", and Gu Ling drew another painting.

After Su Liang praised her, she remembered what happened last night and found that Gu Ling had a new purse hanging on her body.

"Bought it today? It's pretty." Su Liang said.The style is simple, the color matching is very chic, and a tree is outlined with silk thread on it.

Gu Ling shook her head, "I did it myself."

Su Liang expressed surprise.In fact, she is not surprised that Gu Ling can do needlework, because his inner clothes are all made by himself, and the rest are prepared by Yan Yu when he sends Su Liang new clothes, and he hardly buys them from outside. Pass.

But it was the first time for Gu Ling to make a purse by herself.

Su Liang gave a thumbs up, "It's really good, it's much better than mine."

"You either?" Gu Ling asked Su Liang.

Su Liang immediately asked back, "What do you want me to exchange?"

"Two more stories today." Gu Ling put forward his conditions.

Su Liang nodded quickly, "Deal!"

It was late at night, and after Su Liang told Gu Ling two more stories, he yawned and went back to his room.

Before going to bed, Su Liang thought that Gu Ling might be threading needles next door at the moment, and couldn't help muttering, "Gu Dashen is really a wonderful thing."

……

Early the next morning, Gu Ling disappeared again, but Su Liang didn't care.

When seeing the old housekeeper again, Su Liang said that she suddenly remembered last night that a friend named Lin Qian mentioned that the steward of his citrus orchard worked in Ning's house many years ago.

The old butler's eyes lit up, "That must be Song Qi!"

"At that time in the capital, I was with Ning Jing. Mr. Lin told Ning Jing. I just listened to it and didn't pay attention." Su Liang said.

"Since that's the case, the old slave will send someone to look for him today, to see if he is willing to come back." The old housekeeper confirmed that it was Song Qi.

On this day, a few chief stewards of the Ning family came to Su Liang to fight for the position of chief steward.

Su Liang seriously asked them some questions, but was not satisfied.The general manager needs to have an overall view, have his own ideas about the future development of the Ning family, and have enough courage.

Although the Ning family's recruitment notice was widely discussed, no outsiders came to apply for the job.

However, everyone knew that Su Liang rescued the young wife of the prefect's mansion.

On this day, someone came to the door to seek medical treatment.

When it comes to things like curing diseases and saving lives, you can't refuse.

As a result, a strange scene appeared in Xunyang City.

The number one scholar in modern martial arts, the new imperial physician and military general, Su Liang, the new head of the Ning family, set up a temporary medical clinic in the Ning family and became a doctor.

Regardless of one's background, when a patient comes to the door, someone from Ning's family will receive him.

For a time, there was an endless stream of people who came to seek medical treatment.

At nightfall, Ning's mansion closed the gate, and the patients queuing up outside left.

The old butler looked at Su Liang who was rubbing his shoulders distressedly, "Miss is kind, but this is not the way to go."

Su Liang nodded, "Indeed. But I may leave in a few days. During the time in Xunyang City, do your best."

She has read a lot of medical books, and has been looking for opportunities to practice, so it's okay to be busy, after all, it's a good thing.

If Song Qi can be found and he meets Su Liang's requirements, she can return to the capital with peace of mind.

……

During dinner, Su Liang asked his servants to warm a pot of wine.

Gu Ling asked her why she suddenly wanted to drink, Su Liang poured two glasses and said that today is the day when Xing Yusheng and Lin Xueqing got married.

Su Liang raised his glass, "I hope they will grow old together and have a son soon." After saying that, he said with a smile, "It's better to delay the child's business."

Su Liang told Gu Ling earlier that giving birth too early for a woman is not good for her health.He nodded and clinked glasses with Su Liang, both of them just took a sip before putting it down.

"By the way, where's the purse?" Su Liang suddenly remembered, and reached out to ask Gu Ling for it.

Gu Ling took out a purse with dark red borders from her bosom, and put it in Su Liang's hand.

It is similar to Gu Ling's own purse in style, simple and elegant, but the pattern is different.

Su Liang looked at the cute little rabbit with curved ears outlined with silk thread, and said solemnly, "Wearing such a purse really damages my temperament as a dignified general."

Gu Ling's tone was cool, "No?"

Su Liang stared at Gu Ling's purse, and discussed with him, "Let's change it? I think the rabbit purse is more suitable for you, God, and it can neutralize your aloof temperament."

Without saying a word, Gu Ling stretched out her hand to take away the fried rabbit meat in front of Su Liang, and began to eat it gracefully.
