In the afternoon, the Merlin courtyard was quiet.

The pot of snow-white orchids on the windowsill stopped swaying with the noon wind.

Ye Weilai likes to be busy and is hugged in his arms by Ouyang Rong like a care, his body is close to him, and his silver-haired little head is pillowed on the crook of his arm.

Ouyang Rong's slightly snoring breathing sounded on her red ears and neck, a little itchy, but also a little comfortable...... All around is his unique atmosphere.

Whenever this happens, Ye Weilai will quietly breathe lightly, for fear of disturbing, but she can't help but hug his waist, her eyes roll up, and she looks at his slightly tired sleeping face carefully.

She slept shallowly, and woke up after resting, Ouyang Rong had the habit of taking a nap, and now that something was going on, it was time to rest.

The illness is just right, why do you toss him again...... Ye Weilai suddenly felt self-blame in her heart, and secretly annoyed for a while.

But she just couldn't help it.

For some reason, Ouyang Rong sometimes always gave Ye Weilai a sense of alienation, a sense of indifference to everyone around her, including her.

Obviously, Tan Lang is very respectful and polite to everyone around him, including those with humble status, and is not indifferent and mean.

But it just gives people a sense of alienation and indifference.

It was like a curtain of space, independent of the world, standing high above the clouds and watching everyone.

You can easily look at it, but you can never get close.

It's a peculiar feeling, as if you don't belong to the same world.

Maybe it's because Tan Lang is a righteous gentleman, self-denial and revenge, and prudence and solitude...... Ye Weilai thought about it for a long time, and could only explain it like this.

However, this kind of upright gentleman may be like a spring breeze and admirable for people who are far away such as the people of Longcheng, the county officials, and the people of Merlot Garden.

But for those who want to get close to him, it is very troubled and depressing.

Ye Weilai didn't know if she felt this way, at least she felt so.

Therefore, on some occasions, the more Tan Lang is found to be a righteous gentleman and the more estranged he is, the more Ye Weilai wants to lift this veil that seems to be a righteous gentleman, stick to him, and be close to him.

This is also the reason why Ye Weilai couldn't hold back not long ago and clumsily "seduced" Tan Lang.

Otherwise, where does the girl in her age have any shy desires, what can really make her emotional, is the happiness and satisfaction of her sweetheart, and the close love for her, and she is willing to do anything.

There are 3,000 kinds of drugs in the world, and only this one is the most aphrodisiac.

Even so, Ye Weilai still feels a little guilty when she thinks about it now.

Because after the incident not long ago, Tan Lang's face reacted a little reluctantly.

Ye Weilai, whose cheeks were hot, squinted slightly, and found in a daze that Tan Lang seemed to be ashamed, and sighed for a long time.

Tan Lang was still considerate and cared for her, careful to put him to sleep, but he seemed to have some reproach for himself, and then he was still muttering about "righteous leakage" and "remember again" and the like.

Ye Weilai didn't understand it very well, but could only understand that Tan Lang was strict with himself as a righteous man and a gentleman, and he was unwilling to break the vows.

On the bed, looking at the man in front of her, the white-haired girl's eyes couldn't help but become more and more admired and admired.

Ouyang Rong didn't know Ye Weilai's strange thoughts, and when he opened his eyes, there was a cool breeze blowing into the house outside the window.

"Didn't sleep?"

Ouyang Rong yawned and asked Ye Weilai, who was hiding in the futon with his head.

The latter shook his head, nodded again, and poked out the big gray-blue eyes of the futon to look at Ouyang Rong who looked lazy without blinking.

"Do you want to sleep again?"

Ouyang Rong smiled, got out of bed, turned around and poured a cup of tea, and handed it to Ye Weilai.

The girl also got up from the bed, grabbed a pale pink lining, and put it on silently, under Ouyang Rong's gaze, she closed the open placket with a red face, tied a belt, and covered her arms.

"Not thirsty."

Ye Weilai whispered, but in the next second, she found that Ouyang Rong's eyes were staring at her lips, and she handed the tea without speaking.

Some of the aftertastes immediately took care of the taste buds again, as if recalling something, Ye Weilai buried her head in taking the teacup, raised her head and drank it all, but she didn't swallow it immediately, but stored a sip of tea in her mouth, covered her mouth with her little hands, made some gurgling sounds, and her ears became even redder.

As if he was afraid that the white-haired maid would be shy, Ouyang Rong coughed lightly, looked away, and only occasionally raised his hand to hold her white chin, and gently wiped the corners of her red and swollen lips with his thumb.

Ye Weilai covered her mouth and lowered her head and asked, "Why is Tan Lang so good to the slave?" ”

"Am I good to you?"

Ouyang Rong suddenly asked.

Ye Weilai nodded as if the chick pecked rice, and her eyes were very serious.

There is no one like you in the world.

Ouyang Rong thought for a moment and lowered his eyes: "Someone who is good to me, I will naturally be good to her." ”

"There are many, many people who want to be good to Tanlang." Ye Weilai blurted out.

Ouyang Rong smiled and didn't reply.

Ye Weilai seemed to remember something, her eyes flashed, and she said quietly:

"Then if there is such a woman, she is very good to Tan Lang, better than herself, she doesn't ask for anything in return, she doesn't ask for credit, she doesn't ask for love, and even pays silently, even Tan Lang doesn't know."

Ouyang Rong shook his head, "How can there be such a stupid person." ”

Ye Weilai couldn't help but ask sideways: "But what if there really is?" ”

"If there is, I will definitely catch her and ask why she is so stupid." Ouyang Rong said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"Do you want to be caught at the ends of the earth......"

Ye Weilai couldn't help asking, but as soon as she was halfway through her words, a soft sound suddenly came from the courtyard outside.

Ouyang Rong and Ye Weilai in the room looked curiously.

"It's okay, let's go on, I'm just passing by, watering the orchids, you just don't exist when I don't exist."

I saw outside the window, there was a girl with a very heavy burden at first glance, and a beautiful girl, who came over with a normal face and came to the windowsill, and watered the orchid with the water scoop in her hand without squinting.

His expression seemed to be very focused, and he didn't look at the two people in the house.

Ye Weilai's face was a little cautious, and she looked left and right, and found that her clothes were quite neat, so she quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Little junior sister."

Ouyang Rong, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, stood up and said in surprise.

Xie Lingjiang squinted and asked, "It shouldn't have disturbed Senior Brother." ”

"What's the bother, come in and sit, I woke up at noon, and I just wanted to find you." Ouyang Rong said with a smile.

"Oh, yes."

Looking at the sincere and enthusiastic appearance of the senior brother, Xie Lingjiang's face seemed to look better, put down the water scoop, put his hands behind his waist, and walked into the house.

Facing Ouyang Rong who came up in the room, Xie Lingjiang looked left and right, shrugged the tip of his nose, frowned and asked:

"What does it smell like?"

Ouyang Rong also looked left and right, wanting to ask, but immediately realized something, and immediately shook his head, pretending not to know.

"Tan Lang, Nu'er go and bring some refreshments to Little Lady Xie." Ye Weilai suddenly volunteered.

Xie Lingjiang was about to refuse, but a certain white-haired maid didn't wait for her to speak, so she walked out of the middle of the two and ran out of the house with hot cheeks.

Ye Weilai's footsteps were slightly chaotic.

I can't tell Xie Xiaoniang, this is the taste of Tan Lang's righteousness, right?

"This girl is getting more and more reckless." Ouyang Rong pretended to be a stiff face and criticized.

He looked at the little junior sister's expression quietly, and saw that there was no suspicion on her face, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

"I can't say that, she is still very attentive to taking care of the senior brother these days." Xie Lingjiang said casually.

Ouyang Rong invited Xie Lingjiang to sit down, and the two sat around the table.

After not seeing each other for a few days, Ouyang Rong couldn't help but look the little junior sister up and down.

I don't know if it's running around outside, the little sister's skin is a little darker, but this kind of blackness is only a little darker than the snow-white skin that is hidden from time to time at her neck.

And Ouyang Rong felt that it was good to tan a little, in addition, the little junior sister's skin was very easy to white, and I don't know if it was because of Qi refining, when she was sick in bed for a while, she went to the official office the next day, and it was dazzlingly white, Ouyang Rong still remembers it now......

In addition, today Xie Lingjiang is still dressed in a man's clothes, wearing a small crown, and sitting at the table.

In addition, I don't know if it's Ouyang Rong's illusion, I haven't seen him for a few days, I always feel that the little junior sister's mind is a little broader, wait, there is still room for development?

Thinking of the young sister's young age and huge potential, Ouyang Rong couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"Senior brother, don't look at it, senior sister, I'm fine, this trip is quite smooth."

Where could Xie Lingjiang have thought that Senior Brother's frequent sideways glances were concerned about her development, and mistakenly thought that he was worried and caring, so he couldn't help but explain.

"Little junior sister does things, I don't worry." Ouyang Rong nodded, poured a cup of tea for Xie Lingjiang, and took a sip with his eyes down.

It's just that although Ouyang Rong was told not to look at it, Xie Lingjiang repeatedly put down the teacup and looked at Ouyang Rong.

"Little junior sister, don't look at it, I'm fine, it's just a cold, just a minor illness." Ouyang Rong blinked his eyes and laughed.

Xie Lingjiang wanted to speak again and again, and finally said: "I heard what Senior Brother said about Di Gongzha, why is Senior Brother so stupid." ”

Ouyang Rong didn't answer, and suddenly raised his head and said, "Little junior sister, it wasn't you who took out the sword on the sluice dam that day, right?" ”

Xie Ling Jiang was stunned.

Ouyang Rong lowered his eyes and looked at the moonlight long sword on her waist, if the little junior sister took out the sword, there should be a dazzling moonlight, which the junior sister had demonstrated to him before.

That day, he soaked in the water, thinking that it was the little junior sister, but after waking up, he thought about it again and ruled out this option.

Facing Ouyang Rong's gaze, Xie Lingjiang nodded:

"It's an unknown Yue girl."

"Yue Nu?" This time it was Ouyang Rong's turn to be stunned.

"Yes, I also came back and listened to what they said, by the way, your maid was also there at the time, listening to their description, the starting style and movement of the sword should be a Yue girl from Yunmeng Jianze."

Xie Lingjiang looked at the sky outside the house and said with emotion:

"It may be that you happened to pass by the Di Gong Gate, or you may be attracted by the movement of the sluice, after all, it is also quite close to Yunmeng Jianze, this Yue Nu should be touched by your approach, senior brother, and chose to help, and repelled several waves......

"But I heard that this Yue girl didn't stay on the gate for long, and then the rain stopped, and everyone saw it, rode the waves, and disappeared into the depths of the water."

"Is that so......" Ouyang Rong thought thoughtfully.

At this time, Ye Weilai returned with a plate of pastries, Ouyang Rong couldn't help but turn his head and ask a few words, and the little girl replied cautiously.

"Vila, can you see her face?"

"I was worried about Tan Lang at the time, but I didn't see it clearly."

"Didn't leave any names?"

Ye Weilan glanced at him, shook her head, and couldn't help adding: "Maybe she doesn't want to leave a name." ”

"That's a pity." Ouyang Rong shook his head regretfully: "Otherwise, if you have the opportunity to meet again in the future, you have to be grateful." ”

Ye Weilai wanted to speak and stopped, and finally lowered her head and looked at the plate of mung bean cake in her hand.

This is the craft that the embroiderer taught her. Xiuniang left, and I heard her say that she was returning to Shimen to do an important thing, and she couldn't stay in Longcheng for the time being.

Immediately, the topic of Ouyang Rong and Xie Lingjiang turned to the trip to Gesoshan Mountain.

"In this way, the old-timer named Chong Xuzi is upright, kind and kind."

After Ouyang Rong listened, he said with a smile.

The corners of Xie Lingjiang's eyes couldn't help twitching.

Naturally, she didn't say all the things that Chong Xuzi said, but just picked out the normal ones, so Ouyang Rong didn't know the old naughty side of the former.

Xie Lingjiang couldn't complain.

She can't talk about everything, right?

At this moment, as if he remembered the secret matter revealed by Chong Xuzi again, Xie Lingjiang's face converged, and he raised his head and said:

"If Senior Brother can practice Qi, it would not have happened to Di Gong Gate that day, and there would be no constant illness."

Ye Weilai, who was cleaning up the bed in the back room, heard this, turned her head to look at the hall in front of her, and it seemed that a certain mute girl had also expressed a similar meaning to her.

"Why did the little junior sister suddenly mention this."

Ouyang Rong was stunned and shook his head.

"Senior brother, don't you want to practice qi?" Xie Lingjiang asked.

Ouyang Rong hesitated and continued to shake his head:

"I don't know my situation yet, so I don't think about it."

He was about to throw his hands and leave, practicing a hammer qi, but he couldn't say this clearly in front of the enthusiastic little junior sister, so he had to find an excuse and replied like resignation.

But who would have thought that his salted fish attitude made Xie Lingjiang's eyes light up and said:

"So the senior brother still thinks about it, right, but he has no choice but to leak gas."

Ouyang Rong raised his eyes and looked at her, without arguing.

Xie Lingjiang seemed to be in a good mood, got up and walked back and forth in the house a few times,

Suddenly turned his head, and the conversation changed sharply:

"Senior brother, do you know what the most concerned things are the people of the Ten Dao Realms today, inside and outside the Guanzhong and Liangjing courts?"

Ouyang Rong's face was surprised, why did the topic change so quickly, but he still replied truthfully:

"The battle for the guard."

He shook his head, and said with an interested face:

"Today, the empress Shengshang has changed to Zhou, it has been nearly ten years, although most of the Li's clan of the previous dynasty was slaughtered, and those who did not die were also depreciated, and the ugly surnames were changed to ugly surnames, but the two princes who were the flesh and blood of the saint are still alive and well, and one of them is still being raised in the deep palace, and there is no shortage of holy favors.

"Moreover, there are many ministers in the DPRK and the central government, who are traditional old-fashioned civil officials, who have been away from the cadres for 70 years, and where they are decided, they are naturally concerned about leaving the cadres and secretly supporting the prince of the Li's family."

Ouyang Rong replied casually, bowed his head and took a sip of tea, these court situations, in fact, he had just woken up and sorted them out, but Longcheng County was too far away from the Luoyang court, and most of the time it had nothing to do with him, after all, he was a Qipin county magistrate in a remote corner of Jiangnan Province.

Ouyang Rong stared at the tea, pouted and said:

"But the saint's mother's family, several princes on the Wei side, are not small, or unwilling, after all, they have all made suggestions all the way to make the current saint change to Zhou, the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty, must be surnamed Wei, how can they still have the surname Li?

"At present, the saint is old, and the position of the emperor's heir is undecided, which naturally causes the prince of the Li clan and the prince of the Wei family to compete, and the people of the world are concerned about this matter...... But little sister, why are you asking this? ”

"Then who does Senior Brother think will win?" Xie Lingjiang's narrow eyes narrowed slightly.

Ouyang Rong drank tea and made a gesture.

Last night, I suddenly had a sore back, a swollen head, a hot forehead and palm, a heartbeat in my right ear, and my eyes were also very sore...... At first, Xiao Rong thought it might be yang, but then he asked around and found that it seemed to be kidney yang deficiency...... Outrageous, Xiao Rong is twenty-four, he is weak at a young age, it is too scary, he only eased up a little today, and he didn't dare to toss his body anymore in the future, he used to be young...... Everyone should also pay attention to their bodies, physical health is more important than anything else! (or the second day of the abstinence)
