"Mingtang, the humble post is the first to leave."

"Okay, I've worked hard for you these past few days, Xiaoyan catches his head."

"Mingtang is polite, it's okay to call it humble, or Yan Liu."

"Is Yan Liu the sixth in the family?"

"Yes, too. Humble Above...... There are also five older sisters. ”

Ouyang Rong, who was sending Yan Wuxian out, smiled and said jokingly: "After that, I will be busy as my mother's uncle." ”

"Hey, hey." Yan Wuxian scratched his head.

"I'll call you Rokuro in the future." Ouyang Rong clapped.

"Okay, Mingtang!" Yan Wuxian suddenly became as energetic as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, and shouted that Liulang was obviously closer.

However, Yan Wuxian, who was about to leave, turned his head halfway, remembered something, and hesitated: "Mingtang, I was really dizzy today, and I bumped into Uncle Ling, why don't you let the lowly person go in and toast a cup of tea......

"Auntie is not that kind of weak woman." Ouyang Rong shook his head, "And my aunt and I, before you had time to Xie Liulang to go into the water to save people that day, the grace of saving lives is obviously greater." ”

Yan Wuxian hurriedly waved his hand, "No, no, it is the bright star of Mingtang, and it is really ashamed, and there is more than one person who jumped into the water to save people that day......

"At that time, the water level of Butterfly Creek skyrocketed, and it was full of rapids and reefs, even the most familiar fishermen felt that it was tricky, and Mingtang was knocked on the head by the reef, but there was a very brave man among the men who went into the water, and he directly snatched Mingtang back from the torrent whirlpool, but he also seemed to have suffered some injuries."

Ouyang Rong lowered his head and thought about it, nodded and said, "When I go down the mountain for two days to recuperate, I must thank this good man." ”

He seemed to think of something, "Before falling into the water, when we first met, did you ask me for a word?" ”

"Yes, there is such a thing, but at that time, it was humble and ignorant, Mingtang should not take it to heart, Mingtang is a big man who can't mention words indiscriminately, and after going back, my father also taught me a lesson......," the latter hurriedly explained.

"Fetch it tomorrow."

Yan Wuxian's face suddenly turned red, he lowered his mouth, wanted to speak and stopped, and finally couldn't help but say:

"Mingtang, there are two kinds of people that I admire most in my life, one is the Qing officials who ask for the people's lives and punish lawlessness; One is the hero who walks the rivers and lakes, robs the rich and helps the poor. I was stupid in reading since I was a child, and I was not as smart as my sisters, so I couldn't do the former when I woke up from a dream; And the latter, my father will not let me die, and he will not even allow me to join the army, saying that the military household is a cheap family, and gamblers who gamble with their cheap lives to buy and sell their fame, he just wants me to take over his class, and eat in this county government and wait for death.

"Mingtang, I heard that you are speaking for the people, angering the nobles of Luoyang, and demoted to Jiangzhou, that day you took office alone, you stood on the Longshou Bridge and said in public, this four-year term, you have to cure the flood, and you have to give justice to the six thousand households in Longcheng County. I'm Yan Liu......"

The eight-foot-tall man choked up a little when he said this.

Ouyang Rong suddenly asked: "Don't you suspect that I am pretending, shouting a slogan, and patting my ass and leaving after four years?" ”

Yan Wuxian shook his head: "Some colleagues said so in private, but I don't believe it, because I don't believe that a person who dares to speak the truth loudly to the empress on the Jinluan Palace will go to our poor countryside to shout lies to a group of illiterate poor ghosts." ”

Ouyang Rong, who was still a little worried about the new thing in his mind, changed his face slightly.

He raised his head and chuckled: "So when the day fell into the water, you jumped off without saying a word?" ”

"It's not me, it's us."

Ouyang Rong raised his hand and patted Yan Wuxian's shoulder, "Liulang, I understand." ”

Then, the navy blue-clad catcher quickly went out and left.

As soon as the person was there, a graceful woman slowly walked out of the back room, came behind Ouyang Rong, who was watching, and gently put on a coat for him.

However, she said: "Tan Lang, you county government follower is reckless, the knife is not stable, what is there to condescend to woo, it is difficult for you to be patient to listen to him say so much, it is really very naïve and a waste of your time." ”

Zhen frowned and looked outside the door, "And he doesn't know that Tan Lang's body is weak, how can he stand in the wind in front of the door for so long?" Not sensible. By the way, Tan Lang, the host just took the pulse and said that your pulse is not very stable, and you still need to drink some conditioning medicine these days, and the medicine will be delivered later. ”

"Childish ......" Ouyang Rong retracted his gaze, turned his head and asked, "Auntie, do you think ...... Going into the water to save their nephew, is that what they should have done? ”

Zhen's round chin raised slightly, "Of course, Tan Lang is a protégé of the Son of Heaven, an official of the imperial court, and the head of a county, how can their lives be as valuable as yours?" It's less than one in 10,000, and if you don't jump down to save it, is it because you want to rebel? If you have a case, they'll all have to do it! ”

Ouyang Rong smiled: "Then if the emperor falls into the water like me one day, should I jump in immediately to save it?" ”

Zhen immediately said: "You, no. ”

"Isn't the life of the Great Zhou Emperor more expensive than my county order?"

Zhen said slyly: "The current Emperor of the Great Zhou is the empress, men and women are not kissed, those court ladies should jump down to save them, Tan Lang remember to stay away." ”

"What if it's a man?"

Zhen was silent for a while, glanced out of the door, and muttered: "Stinky boy, then you are not allowed to jump stupidly, how can you swim, just make a show, there are many loyal courtiers, not bad for you!" ”

Ouyang Rong glanced at Zhen, but the latter's face was as usual, and he didn't feel that he was contradicting himself at all, but became more and more determined, "Anyway, Tan Lang is a natural noble, maybe he is still the reincarnation of Sage Wen, but he is different from others, the specific reason...... I'm a woman who can't say it clearly, but you just listen to your aunt, and it will hurt you not to listen...... If you don't listen, you are unfilial! ”

"A good nephew who is famous all over the world for both loyalty and filial piety...... You don't want to be unfilial, do you? Zhen smiled.

She took the helpless Ouyang Rong to the table and sat down, and poured him a cup of hot tea to warm up.

Ouyang Rong held the hot teacup and silently looked at the Zhen family who was busy taking care of him through the warm tea smoke.

At this time, she wore a light blue slanted collar undergarment on her upper body, and a goose yellow Luo skirt on her lower body, but the long skirt that dragged the ground was knotted at the calf, which was convenient for daily travel, and there was an additional half-arm on the upper body, which was also originally popular from the ladies and ladies of the powerful families in Luoyang, and the noblewomen of the official eunuchs.

Zhen is the daughter of a military family, named Shuyuan, I heard that her father had been a captain in a border army, and some family marksmanship and martial arts, but later the family fell into the middle of the road and married into the Ouyang family, but unfortunately Ouyang Rong's uncle died early soon after his marriage.

Zhen is the kind of classical lady type of round little face, in the words of the people at this time: at first glance, it is the demeanor of a dignified housekeeper of a good family, but the light mole at the corner of her mouth is a little more charming, she is already a half-old, but she is still round and jade.

It's just that her pair of divine Danfeng eyes give people a rather powerful and difficult feeling.

And that's exactly what happened.

In my impression, this aunt has always been quite spicy, and she also has some sleek snobbery, the kind of temperament that can tear up half of her own rice in the countryside......

Also, after the young and middle-aged people in the family died early, they pulled Ouyang Rong to grow up with the Zhao family for him to study, in addition to the proper care of the clan in the township, the two women were naturally not easy to mess with.

In the past few years, Ouyang Rong has been angry, all the way to Luoyang, and became a Dengke Jinshi, their vein suddenly became the core of the Nanlong Ouyang clan, the glorious lintel is just like this, the mother is expensive by the son, and no one in the Zhen family dares to provoke, and there is no shortage of acres and slaves in the family, so you don't have to worry about those small profits, and you can be regarded as raising your eyebrows in the group of township women.

In fact, the original body ...... Or now that the memories of the two lives are fused, he is a little afraid of Zhen, because in his memory, it is generally his mother Zhao who sings red face, Zhen who sings white face, and takes turns to train the baby.

And now it's good, only white faces are left.

"Why is Tan Lang staring at his aunt, he doesn't know his aunt?"

"No, I'm watching... An interesting tower. ”

"Tower?" Zhen, who was bending down to pour tea, looked back at the door, "The pagoda in this temple is built quite high, and I don't know how much silver it spent, but these temples are really rich one by one." ”

She suddenly turned her head and asked, "Tan Lang, why didn't you tell me the truth of Na Meng after this argument?" ”

"What Meng?"

"It's just that... Jun Qing, before you put it aside, you have to teach your aunt every time. Zhen looked at Ouyang Rong's eyes with some doubts.

Ouyang Rong put down the teacup and said indifferently: "Because my nephew has grown up." ”

After hearing this, Zhen put down the man in his hand, sat on the stool, and watched him be silent for a while before sighing:

"It's true that I've grown up, and I just know that I can let go of my talent and win over people, and I don't fight with my aunt about right or wrong...... Looking at it this way, it is not too much of a loss to demote an official, and the mind is deeper, this is good, being an official is to be deeper, and the people below will be afraid. ”

After the little finger of the woman in the skirt lifted her ears, she suddenly changed the topic again: "Then since Tan Lang has grown up, is it time to start thinking about marriage?" It has been three years since I served my filial piety. ”

Ouyang Rong was actually a little annoyed already, he didn't want to talk about these parents now, he just wanted to figure out what suddenly appeared in his mind...... Or maybe this thing he brought over may have a chance to go back.

Fortunately, at this time, a dazzling little bald head appeared in the courtyard outside, and entered the door with a plate.

"Donor, it's time to take your medicine."

Ouyang Rong immediately caught up, regardless of the hot mouth, and after one sip, he almost clinked glasses with the small head of the hair.

"Good medicine." He praised and turned his head again: "Auntie, my nephew is a little dizzy again, this medicine is a little strong, I'll go lie down for a while, you've been on the road for a day, go settle down, rest early." ”

Zhen looked at him, nodded, told him a few more words, and got up and went out.

It's just that before going out, she dropped the sentence without looking back:

"Tan Lang, don't forget, your mother had two wishes for you before her death, one is to be admitted to the Jinshi, and the other is to marry a girl with five surnames!"

After the woman left, the last four words still lingered.

Even the shorter-haired and shorter-haired hair looked at Ouyang Rong with a calm face.

Good guy, the county lord wants to marry a woman with five surnames and seven wangs? This should be a little harder than marrying a princess of the Li clan or the Wei clan, right? The five surnames and seven wangs sometimes even disdain to marry their daughters to the royal family......

Xiufa was about to take the medicine bowl away, but was suddenly stopped by Ouyang Rong, "By the way, Xiufa, there is something I want to ask you for." ”

"The county lord is polite, what can a poor monk do, just ask."

Ouyang Rong lowered his head and thought about it.

"I fell into the palace that night...... Below, in addition to your Xiuzhen senior brother, there is also an old man covered in abscesses and a mute girl with a broken little finger, quite pitiful, can you let the two of them take good care of the two of them in Beitianyuan, especially the old man, who has abscesses all over his body and see if he can be cured. ”

"No problem, the Beitian Courtyard was originally funded by the county government, although the county lord can rest assured, the poor monk went to tell the senior brother in charge of the courtyard, he would take care of the county lord."

"Then I'll bother you."

"You're welcome."

Ouyang Rong smiled and watched this rather heroic and enthusiastic little novice leave.

This was done, and he closed the door and lay down on the couch.

As soon as you close your eyes, there are auspicious clouds and fairy mist in front of you, and the distant mountains are paved with mountains, and at the end of the field of vision stands a very familiar merit tower, and the door has been opened......

……

After leaving Sanhuiyuan, Xiufa sent the dishes back to the kitchen.

I first went to the chanting hall, followed the senior brothers to do the afternoon class, and chanted the scriptures.

After class, he went out and turned left, passed through the solemn halls of several Buddha statues, found the master who was receiving the pilgrims, consciously served tea and poured water, and accompanied the master to explain the dreams of the pilgrims with more distinguished status.

In the evening, the flow of customers was scarce, the host called it a perfect day, Xiufa went out to prepare to go to fasting, and suddenly remembered something on the way, and turned to Beitian Temple.

On the night road, the little novice was babbling in his mouth, imitating the demeanor and tone of the master in the afternoon, and when he read somewhere, he suddenly sighed.

"Amitabha, the female benefactor...... Hey, why is it that when the Master calls the county lord's uncle in the morning, he calls him 'female bodhisattva', and in the afternoon when he calls the pock-faced woman who sincerely prays, he is also called 'female benefactor'? It's weird, it's weird, is there something special? ”

The hair lowered her head and pondered for a while, then shook her head abruptly, "The Buddha's principles are too profound, so difficult to understand...... Forget it, please ask the teacher tomorrow. ”

After a while, the little novice, who had not forgotten to study Master's 'Advanced Dharma' while walking, rushed to the Beitian Relief Home, where no one was on duty.

"Senior Brother Xiudu?" He shouted four or five times before someone finally answered.

"It's there, it's there." A middle-aged monk staggered out of a room, his face flushed in the night.

"What's the smell?"

Xiu Fa shrugged his nose and sniffed, pointed at Xiu Du and said, "What's the bad smell?" ”

"It's so stuffy in the room, it's all sweaty."

"Oh, senior brother, don't catch a cold when you're sweating." Xiufa nodded, and did not doubt him.

Then Xiao Shami carefully repeated the matter explained by Ouyang Rong, and repeatedly told him that this was what the county master ordered, and he should do it well.

Xiu Du burped, promised with a mouthful, and finally sent the little junior brother away, and when the people were far away, he patted his face full of wine and sighed, "It's really the last sip." ”

After speaking, he was about to go back to the house to get wine, and halfway through the road, he was suddenly stunned.

"There were two old men with abscesses, and one mute woman, but there were abscesses all over and one with a little finger broken...... There are still these two people in our Beitian Courtyard? Did you fall into the well two days ago like the county lord? How did the little monk not know. Xiu Du scratched his head in confusion.

"I took a look two days ago, isn't there just Senior Brother Xiuzhen below, it's strange......"

Finally, the monk muttered back to the house.

"The county order is really getting worse and worse...... Hiccup~ One more bite. ”

……
