When Ouyang Rong looked over without expression.
Wang Caozhi had already "swooshed" and stood up and said seriously to Ouyang Rong:
"Brother-in-law, Madam Zhen, I reflect and review. The luncheon preparation was a bit hasty. The prince still had to go north and was not easy to make a statement. He could only buy some food and drink from the largest restaurant in Hanyang County in a low-key manner. The banquet could only be held in an open air, which was a bit cold..."
He sighed and said with some guilt:
"However, isn't Luoyang literati popular with Liushang Qushui's banquet now? I am a businessman, but my brother-in-law, the prince is not. Just so happen, Thirteen Niang and I are also complacent with you and are accustomed to the arts."
Hearing this verbal, Zhen Shuyuan smiled hoarsely:
"Okay, you're doing a good job. You can tell that you're interested. Don't play with Tan Lang."
After Zhen Shuyuan spoke, Ouyang Rong looked away.
Wang Cao's face did not change his expression, as if nothing had happened, and he was neither arrogant nor impatient.
He and Pei Shisanniang, Shunbo, Caishou, Banxi were all called to sit down by Li Xian.
Li Xian cares about:
"By the way, Tan Lang, is it okay for Yan to join the army?"
Ouyang Rong replied:
"Liu Lang is guarding Xunyang City, safe and sound."
Li Xian said with relief: "That's good, with Tan Lang, a good example. Liulang, who is a member of the Jiangzhou army, is indeed competent."
Wei Mei crossed Li Xian and suddenly interrupted:
"Tanlang, you just sent someone away. Did Miaozhen say anything?"
Li Xian changed color slightly. When Wei Mei looked at him, he quickly picked up the ice bag on the table and continued to apply it to his face, covering his expression.
Ouyang Rong shook his head:
"I didn't say anything, Miaozhen Nu Shi left directly, and there was nothing to say."
Speaking of this, he turned his head and looked at Li Xian, who was serious, and was curious. Not long ago, Li Xian went to find Miaozhen, what did the two of them say, and why did the princess Wei Mei teach her husband a lesson?
However, no matter how curious he is, Ouyang Rong never gets involved in other people's family affairs.
Just like Li Xian and Wei Mei didn't get involved in his private affairs.
"Oh, is that?"
Wei Mei looked as usual and was very patient to ask Li Xian:
"Have Qilang finished saying something to her? It's still time to chase her now. After all, she is the life-saving benefactor."
Li Xian waved his hand subconsciously:
"I've finished speaking... Wait, I have nothing to say with her. How can I say that I haven't finished speaking? Don't joke with Mei Niang."
The atmosphere during the meal was quiet, with only Li Xian’s laughter, so the laughter became more and more awkward.
Everyone can see their eyes, nose, and heart.
Li Xian quickly applied an ice pack to his face to cover it. After a while, he changed the topic:
"By the way, Tanlang, when will we set out?"
Ouyang Rong stared at the wine glass in front of him and said without raising his head:
"Tomorrow morning, Caozhi and I will plan the northbound route and go to Hanyang County to buy some things in the afternoon.
"Since there are no pursuers, we are just fish entering the sea, unobstructed. The prince keeps everything simple, so take the fastest route back to Beijing and stay less all the way."
"Okay, I'll follow Tan Lang's arrangement."
Li Xian nodded happily, looking at the orderly Tan Lang, a warm feeling flowed through his heart.
Wei Mei and Li Dalang's smile could not be suppressed, and his heart was warm.
When Tan Lang was there, they were worried about things. Every time they asked, Tan Lang had a plan or had already solved it, and they felt a sense of security that they were worried about before everyone was worried.
Li Xian sipped in a small sip, smashed his mouth and sighed:
"Twenty years have passed in a flash. By the way, I almost forgot the dialect of Luoyang. Before we entered the imperial city, we passed by Zhuque Street and had to sit down and eat a bite of mutton soaked buns. Tan Lang also tasted it well. There were also eight large pieces in Luoyang, laughing, golden dates, and five-spice twisted crispy..."
When Cai Shou heard about the eating, he swallowed his saliva, his little face was a little longing.
Li Dalang was a little confused when he heard it.
Li Buer quietly, pick up the vegetables into the sandalwood mouth, and chew them carefully.
Compared to the rough northern cuisine that sounds mixed with wind and sand, she seems to prefer fine southern cuisine, which is raised by the soil and soil of the south of the Yangtze River.
Wei Mei seemed to be worried about something, and said to Li Dalang and Li Guer seriously:
"Fusu, Guer, remember that although you grew up in the south, you are real northerners. The ancestors of your Li clan, who rode horses west of Liangzhou for hundreds of years ago, went to the land of Yumen to Gaochang, bent your bow and drink feathers, and drank the wind and sand."
She reminded me carefully: "When you return to Luoyang, you will be the purest northerners and the most noble descendants of Guanlong. You don't need to be inferior and cowardly. You can make a bold appearance and meet other noble families. No, they should take the initiative to approach you."
Li Dalang scratched his head: "I'm not very good at making friends. Tanlang and Liulang are by my side, so I can let go, but if you say that, my sister, you don't have to worry."
He smiled and pointed at his sister, with a tone of a brother's pampering:
"The standards of Langjun and Xiaoniang are different. One is the same place. A Mei is the beautiful little girl in Jiangnan. This is a god-given advantage. When she goes to Luoyang, she doesn't know how many eyeballs she will attract and how many aristocratic families. Those girls from northern noble families can't catch up with my A Mei's country."
Lu Ya, who had been quiet on the table, nodded seriously:
"That's right, the master said that the daughter's family, the northern and southern ministers, is a great blessing. When the priests were young, this was the appearance, coupled with the different temperaments of the hammer hitting the fierce horse, which made Taizong and Gaozong look at each other..."
The Taoist priest with a face-patterned face was halfway through his speech, and someone pulled his cuffs under the table. He turned his head in confusion and looked at Senior Brother Zhang next to him.
Zhang Shixiu did not look straight.
Wei Mei and Li Dalang all regarded it as praise.
Wei Mei touched her slightly yellowed face and said proudly: "Guoer looks like me, just like me when I was young, and as beautiful as the little cabbage."
Li Xian:...
Li Dalang:...
Li Guer couldn't listen anymore, so he stopped the joke of his mother, brother.
Li Dalang laughed loudly and poured wine for A Mei. He found that A Mei looked at the side and winked at him.
Li Dalang turned his head and saw Ouyang Rong drinking alone. The cup was empty, and he quickly filled it:
"Why did Tanlang drink it alone?"
Ouyang Rong did not touch the wine glass, stared at the wine that reflected his face in the glass, and said without raising his head:
"Auntie, Weilai wants to stay. Tomorrow you can only go back to Nanlong alone. I will ask Thirteen Niang to take you back."
Zhen Shuyuan, who was trying to make fish soup with Rong Zhen, looked a little reluctant, but was ready to nod:
"Listen to Tanlang..."
"Hey, Madam Zhen, wait."
Wei Mei interrupted with a smile:
"Tanlang, why don't you take Mrs. Zhen back to Beijing with you, don't go back to Nanlong. Ye Weilai also has to practice all the way to the capital. It is inconvenient for Mrs. Zhen to have no individuals around him. Moreover, Mrs. Zhen is not young anymore. As a nephew, it's better to be by your side and be filial.
"Besides, this time we returned to the capital, we have great contributions to the Dingjian, and the danger is very small. Mrs. Zhen is following her, and there is no big problem, unlike when she first arrived in Xunyang City."
Zhen Shuyuan's face seemed to be moved, but she was reasonable:
"Dan Lang, I can do it. It's up to you. Whether you go to the capital first, then pick me up, or go with you now, it's fine. Speaking of which, I haven't been to Luoyang yet, it's also considered seeing the world. See how the people in the imperial city live, what's different from our Jiangnan."
Ouyang Rong didn't say anything, and everyone laughed.
Wei Mei took the opportunity to talk about the specialty scenery in Luoyang, which made Zhen Shuyuan feel very moved.
Everyone smiled and couldn't help but look at Ouyang Rong.
As the invisible backbone, everyone's attention has always been on him.
But at this moment, they found that Tan Lang had not laughed.
The young man in Confucian shirt bowed his head, took off the long moonlight sword and the red lotus sword seal on his waist, got up and walked, put it on Li Xian's table, and stacked it.
This strange move immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Li Dalang asked in confusion: "Tanlang, what are you doing..."
Zhen Shuyuan said concerned: "Why don't you pick up food? Is the wound still hurting? Let Wei Lai give it to you later..."
Ouyang Rong returned to his seat, lowered his head to tidy up his cuffs, sat down slowly, and said:
"Auntie misunderstood, and the princess misunderstood too. I won't go back to Beijing. It's the prince that you will go back. I'll send you away tomorrow morning. I'll go back to Xunyang. I'm staying here today to send you away."
The whole audience was silent in an instant.
Ouyang Rong did not look around, picked up the wine glass in front of him, raised his head and drank it all.
After breathing a long breath, he said softly:
"I'll go and bring the embroiderer back, I agreed and take her to Luoyang."
In the open sky and the ground, the falling needles can be heard.
There was only a slight clamor of a trickle.
A pair of eyes were drawn to the young man in Confucian shirt who spoke solemnly.
They want to speak but stop.
Zhen Shuyuan's eyes were slightly red.
Rong Zhen looked straight at Ouyang Rong.
Xie Lingjiang lowered his eyes and stared quietly at the lady's skirt he specially changed into today.
In fact, since everyone was reunited yesterday, there was a problem that they tried their best to avoid talking about.
That's the embroiderer's business.
Xie Lingjiang asked once.
But Ouyang Rong did not answer carefully.
Li Xian and others were afraid of asking and uncovering Ouyang Rong's scars.
Because the embroiderer's affairs are very sensitive.
However, at this moment, what they were most worried about was still happening.
If you don’t mention some things, it doesn’t mean they don’t exist.
Especially for people like Ouyang Rong who are firm in character and believe in vain.
However, it is precisely because of this that everyone is afraid to ask... It sounds a bit contradictory.
Li Xian whispered:
"Tanlang..."
Ouyang Rong suddenly turned his head, pointed to the Moonlight Sword and the Red Lotus Sword Seal and said:
"The prince put away these two objects, and it is related to the Ding Sword. If so, Caishou and Weilai have not reached the ninth grade of Qi Refining or the ninth grade, but the real name on the note on the little princess's note does not match. If the Ding Sword is not activated, then he can only offer the Night Pearl Ding Sword directly. At that time, he will use these two objects to activate it in front of the saint."
Li Xian didn't look at the moonlight sword and the sword seal, but his eyes were still looking at him.
Ouyang Rong's face was calm, and Li Dalang next to him was still there, without saying a word, so he poured wine on his own, took a sip, and continued to instruct:
"Wang Caozhi, follow the prince to the capital. Thirteenth Lady, stay first and send your aunt back to Nanlong.
"Weila, follow your junior sister and Rong Zhennv Shi, practice your energy and do your best on the way. If you don't become the master of the sword, it's okay. I know that you are the most serious in your personality. Maybe you don't have it in your life, so you won't blame you."
Ouyang Rong turned his head and pointed at everyone:
"I'm not here. If there is anything difficult to decide, Your Highness the Little Princess suggests priority. The Little Princess is brave and decisive when encountering major events. Prince, the prince can obey it with confidence."
He said to Li Guer again:
"Miss Qin met many people in Luoyang, all of whom are powerful children, celebrities and ladies. His Highness likes to make friends. He can write more letters to Mrs. Qin to open up the situation."
Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Ouyang Rong pointed at himself calmly:
"This time I'm really willful. First, I want to go back to Xunyang City, so I can't let Liulang clean up the mess alone. Second, I can't leave without the embroiderer's return."
Zhang Shixiu suddenly asked:
"The embroidery lady mentioned by Mr. Ouyang, isn't it the Excellency of Virginity?"
Ouyang Rong nodded and looked at him with a little searching.
Zhang Shixiu thought:
"I heard from Junior Brother Lu... I remember that before leaving that day, I saw the second daughter bringing Yue Zhuzi back to the villa. At that time, the Excellency Yue Zhuzi seemed to be in a coma and was seriously injured. The eldest daughter and the second daughter were quite anxious, as if they were going to send her back to Jianze to treat her injuries."
Ouyang Rong suddenly fell silent.
After a while, he nodded suddenly:
"Thank you, can you help me find the location of Yunmeng Jianze? Yunmeng is too big."
Zhang Shixiu hesitated and nodded:
"I do my best, but you must be careful of the Queen's Palace. They are not easy to talk to, so don't mess with me."
"Okay." Ouyang Rong narrowed his eyes gently: "Master just help me find the location of the Female King Hall. I'll visit me in person. Master Lu Ya should have told you that I'm very reasonable and polite."
Rong Zhen couldn't help but look at him sideways.
Lu Ya didn't notice that something was wrong and continued, "Young Master Ouyang is indeed kind to others, please don't worry, Brother Zhang."
"Okay." Zhang Shixiu breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that Mr. Ouyang was indeed elegant and easy-going. He was very impressed by his calm and reasonable personality in just two days.
After giving the order, Ouyang Rong calmed down and went to pick up the food to eat.
Everyone around was still silent.
Some of them wanted to speak but stopped.
Until Wei Mei's worried voice broke the silence:
"Qilang, stop drinking..."
Ouyang Rong turned his head and saw Li Xian lowering his head, saying nothing, and tilting his head to drink with his glasses.
Li Xian waved his hand and buried his head in picking up food, unable to see his face:
"It's okay, I'm cold, drink a few more cups and it's hot..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he was choked by the alcohol, and his face was flushed with coughing.
Wei Mei quickly patted him on the back and said angrily:
"You said it yourself. Last time Master Yuan whispered, he asked you to pay more attention to your health, regulate your daily routine, and drink less spirits..."
"Okay, Mei Niang."
Li Xian suddenly shouted at Wei Mei.
The latter is stuck.
Ouyang Rong tilted his head sharply and immediately asked, "Prince, what did Master Yuan leave specifically?"
"Don't listen to Mei Niang taking the truth out of context. The palace was burned that day, and she was a little scared and looked bad. The old master probably remembered that my father, Emperor Gaozong, was sick, but the old master also said it was okay, just to prevent it. I still remember that Emperor Gaozong was seriously ill and the old master went to seek medicine, but it failed later."
The atmosphere was quiet and everyone exchanged eyes.
Li Guer was a little worried and gave Lu Ya a wink.
Lu Ya stepped forward and took Li Xian's pulse. Shaoqing shook his head:
"It's true, but I still have to take a look at the imperial doctor. I am just as good as my medical skills, so I must be less than my master."
Li Xian had no choice but to say: "It's okay. You think that if there is something wrong, the imperial doctors sent by the mother emperor from the capital will not be diagnosed, and they have seen them several times."
"That's true."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, Ouyang Rong smiled and said:
"Let's have a meal first."
Xie Lingjiang suddenly asked:
"When will the eldest brother stay?"
"End the endgame of Xunyang, take the embroiderer back, and then go back to Beijing to find you."
Li Guer said at the right time:
"Ouyang Lianghan, if you don't return to Beijing this time, there will be no such good excuse next time. You can only wait for Ah Father to gain a foothold. Let's do it and transfer you back to Beijing. You have to think about it."
Ouyang Rong smiled and said, "I'll wait for you good news."
Li Xian and others were moved.
Looking at the young man who abandoned his glory and wealth, he didn't know what to say.
Xie Lingjiang actually guessed something before. At this moment, she was filled with regret. Looking at her senior brother, she longed to say:
"It won't be possible to release two days later."
"No, I'll leave tomorrow. Don't be willful."
Xie Lingjiang looked at his gentle smile and suddenly felt that he shouldn't have been jealous last night.
Wasted a night of time together.
At this time, she saw Rong Zhen opposite her, looking straight at Ouyang Rong, and her fingers seemed to be plucking up, and she felt a little regretful.
Xie Lingjiang took a deep breath.
Ouyang Rong greeted him and everyone continued to have a meal.
It was just because Ouyang Rong's words were pressing on his heart before parting, and the air in the audience was a little stuffy.
Everyone came to the table and thought it was a reunion dinner, but now it was a farewell banquet.
After a while, Ouyang Rong finished the meal first, stood up, and greeted Wang Caozhi and Pei Shisanniang:
"You eat first, I will take Caozhi and Shisanniang to Hanyang County to buy supplies...
"By the way, I'll be here to watch the night out. You have a good rest and you'll have to hurry up tomorrow."
Ouyang Rong stood up and left, disappearing.
Xie Lingjiang, Rong Zhen, Li Xian and his family sat in their original position. After a long time, the food in front of them did not move at all.
Chapter completed!
