267. White lies
The breeze is coming.
After a few drinks, the wind blew at noon, and Ouyang Rong was a little drunk.
From waking up in the underground palace in the early hours of the morning, to now accompanying the teacher and the little sister to lunch in the Meilin Courtyard.
I tossed for a long time, and I was in a coma for many days, and I was really hungry.
Ouyang Rong was not polite to the whole table of dishes that were originally used to entertain the teacher, and kept holding chopsticks, and after a while, most of them were swept away.
The same is true of alcohol, which he drinks as if it were water, and uses it to swallow food.
The wine on the table was brought by Xie Lingjiang to the "Su Mansion", of course, now Ouyang Rong also knows that the next door is not the Su Mansion, it should be called the Leaving Mansion.
But of course, you can't put a plaque on the surface, after all, throughout the Great Zhou, the surname "Li" is a well-known royal surname.
"Lianghan turned out to be a good drinker."
Looking at Ouyang Rong, who was concentrating on cooking and drinking two sips of wine from time to time, Xie Xun and his daughter glanced at each other, turned their heads and said with a smile.
"It's okay, but it doesn't taste good."
Ouyang Rong put down the bowl, smiled, and reached out to grab the wine jug, ready to pour wine for the teacher.
But there are already people who move faster.
"Father, senior brother, I'll come."
The three of them moved a small square table under the grape trellis and sat down on their knees to eat.
Ouyang Rong and Xie Xun sat facing each other in the north-south direction.
Xie Lingjiang sat between the two, facing the two of them, Ouyang Rong on his left hand and Xie Xun on his right.
At this moment, after the Xie girl bathed, her body was full of fragrance, wearing a snow-white long skirt, kneeling on a futon, the fabric of the long skirt was expensive, soft and close-fitting, and it already lined out a beautiful arc.
The girl's kneeling posture caused her slender jade buttocks to sit on her calves, and the silky fabric was bulging and tight, like a gourd-shaped wine jug raised in her hand.
Xie Lingjiang volunteered, and the three thousand green silk were dignified by a glass red rope hairpin, she sat up, held the wine jug in two jade hands, and poured wine for the senior brother and father with a small face.
Xie Xun couldn't help but glance at Xie Lingjiang's hairpin pinned to his black hair.
When she entered the kitchen just now, she still had her long hair scattered, but after a while, when she came out with Lianghan to serve the food, her long hair was already curled up, and there was an extra peculiar hairpin.
His cheeks also turned a lot redder, although he still had a serious expression.
Xie Xun couldn't help but sigh.
Glancing at the wine glass again, and the gentle and virtuous little girl pouring wine in front of him.
In other words, he has not drunk the wine poured by his own daughter for a long time, and he remembers how well-behaved his daughter was when he was a child, but unfortunately after he died, he didn't like to participate in his father's wine banquet, and he was maverick, and often taught him to drink less......
And today, it is unprecedented.
Actually, for the old father, he is not afraid that his daughter will lose her face, but he is afraid that she will suddenly be obedient.
Xie Xun turned his head: "It's hard work." β
"It's okay, Father, drink it." Xie Ling Jiang smiled lightly, answered, and immediately turned her head, she frowned at Ouyang Rong, who was drinking, and said with concern: "Senior brother, you drink slowly......"
Father and daughter.
Taking advantage of Lianghan's presence today, Xie Xun drank a few more cups quietly, but his mouth was inexplicably sour.
Well, I don't know if it's the sour drink, or what's going on.
Almost filling most of his stomach, Ouyang Rong temporarily put down his chopsticks, raised his wine glass towards Xie Xun, and gestured:
"Actually, on weekdays, I don't drink much, mainly to accompany teachers and friends."
He smiled: "Because I can't always taste anything good about the wine, I just think it's similar to slightly sour water, which can quench my thirst, and I don't like it." β
"Is this so, Lianghan has indeed changed a lot."
Xie Xun rolled up his sleeve hand, put down the wine glass, and said with emotion:
"Brother Shen returned to Jiangzhou from Longcheng before, and what he said to the teacher was right, and the teacher remembered that when Lianghan was studying in the past, he hated this kind of wine table communication the most, he didn't get a drop of wine, and he didn't give anyone face."
The middle-aged Confucian recalled: "Or later in Luoyang to catch the exam, when our master and apprentice said goodbye, under the willows, Lianghan took a sip, this matter, at that time, was still talked about in the academy for a while." β
"Really?"
Xie Lingjiang looked at Ouyang Rong curiously, his eyes shining.
"Well, there is such a thing." Ouyang Rong nodded and smiled, paused, as if recalling for a moment, and said lightly:
"Persuade you to have a glass of wine and go out of Yangguan in the west... No one for a reason. β
Xie Lingjiang looked sideways, and Xie Xun laughed and asked:
"Do you still remember the ambition you made when you said goodbye that day and went to Luoyang?"
The Xie father and daughter looked at each other.
Ouyang Rong put down his chopsticks and was silent for a long time.
"I was young and vigorous."
Xie Xun shook his head: "Not young and vigorous, what kind of young man is he called, not to mention, isn't Lianghan still young now?" The weak crown of the final army. β
Ouyang Rong sighed: "It's hard to compare with the teacher, Xie Jiabaoshu, the heart is not old." β
As if he understood the riddle in the words of his father and senior brother, Xie Lingjiang turned his head and glanced at the Su Mansion next door.
Xie Xun put down his chopsticks and was about to speak, but Ouyang Rong preemptively said:
"These days when the apprentice is in a coma, I have worked hard for the teacher and the little sister."
Xie Xun shook his head, pointed at Xie Lingjiang and said, "Wanwan is even harder, she went thousands of miles to Gesoap Mountain to seek medical treatment for you." β
Ouyang Rong asked quietly, "My injuries are very serious?" β
Xie Xun bowed his head.
Ouyang Rong suddenly asked, "My injuries weren't healed by Master Shandao." β
"That's right." Xie Xun was calm:
"Wan Wan went to Ge Soap Mountain to invite the head of the Chongxu Dao, but Lianghan was seriously injured, and the head of the Chongxu Dao was helpless, so he ...... at this time."
Xie Lingjiang raised his head and said, "Senior brother, in fact, this miracle doctor ......"
Xie Xun interrupted:
"Fortunately, at this time, Daoist Chongxu met a divine doctor who was passing by Dragon City, who was also a senior of the Daomen, and asked him to help, so he saved Lianghan."
Xie Lingjiang frowned and turned his head to look at his father, who was calm and calm, who didn't look at her and looked at Ouyang Rong.
Ouyang Rong asked: "Who is the divine doctor, but he is still in Dragon City?" β
"Lianghan is healed, and the divine doctor is gone."
"Can you leave a name?"
"The miracle doctor has no name."
"I see." Ouyang Rong whispered.
Xie Xun turned his head, his eyes stopped Xie Lingjiang, and he immediately turned around and asked softly:
"How is Liang Han sure that it was not healed by Master Shandao? Wei Shi and Wan Wan are just about to talk to you. β
"If it is a master of good guidance, it will inevitably make them stay at the head of the bed, especially if I am about to recover and wake up, according to the character of the master of good guidance, I will definitely appear at the head of the bed as soon as possible.
Ouyang Rong shook his head: "But I woke up and waited for a long time, but there was no one in the house, and the little junior sister was also late......
"Later, she also mentioned what kind of miracle doctor informed her that she had just cooked in the kitchen, and her mind was clear, and she thought of this problem."
Xie Xun sighed: "Lianghan is careful. β
Ouyang Rong turned his head and asked Xie Lingjiang, who was frowning on the side:
"Why does my sister have such an expression, did the divine doctor save me and ask you for something? Although, nothing. β
Xie Lingjiang shook his head: "You didn't ask for it." β
Xie Xun said softly: "We wanted to give it, but the divine doctor didn't accept it, but said that someone had already paid for Lianghan." β
Ouyang Rong frowned: "Who?" β
Xie Xun didn't answer, his eyes looked at Ouyang Rong.
As if he had understood something, Ouyang Rong slowly relaxed his eyebrows:
"I see...... Don't you want to be rescued, do you feel guilty, this miracle doctor is kind, hanging the pot to help the world, benevolence for the benefit of ......"
Xie Xun bowed: "It may be that he witnessed the well-being of Lianghan to the people of Longcheng, so he stood up to save people, this can be regarded as 'someone has paid', Lianghan does not need to feel guilty." β
"Yes......" Ouyang Rong whispered.
He suddenly remembered the long, long dream he had when he was unconscious.
Ouyang Rong raised his head and asked, "In addition to this miracle doctor, who else is guarding my sickbed these days?" β
Unavoidably.
Xie Xun was not surprised, glanced at Xie Lingjiang, and said directly:
"It's not Wan Wan, it's a girl from a good family invited by Wan Wan, surnamed Zhao, this little lady Zhao, smart hands and feet, can take care of people,
"Lianghan, you should also know that Wanwan is pampered and can't take care of people.
"Merlot Park is empty for the time being, so that's it.
"The divine doctor likes to be pure, and he doesn't allow us to get close, so he asked Zhao Xiaoniang to help in front of the sickbed."
Ouyang Rong let out a long breath: "Then it makes sense." β
Satiated.
Xie Xun glanced at Ouyang Rong, who bowed his head and was contemplative, and stood up first:
"You just got well, and the family left my brother next door, and I was going to come to see you, but I was stopped by the teacher, but you just recovered from your illness, and it is not suitable for people to disturb you.
"If you are free now, would Lianghan be willing to go to the next house and sit down? So that they don't have to worry anymore. β
Ouyang Rong raised his head, glanced at the teacher who sincerely invited, and muttered:
"Thank you teacher for thinking about me, don't hang out for the time being, I just recovered from illness and went down the mountain, there are a lot of official business piled up, wait for me to deal with it for two days, and then make plans...... The teacher walks slowly, and so does the little sister. β
"Okay."
Xie Xun nodded happily, without dragging his feet, and with a reluctant expression of Xie Lingjiang, he got up to say goodbye.
Ouyang Rong personally sent off the guests.
"Big brother, wait."
Xie Lingjiang stopped, untied the red glass rope hairpin, and handed the blue butterfly petal-like glass piece back to the senior brother, leaving only a red rope and tying up the ponytail.
"Don't put it back on?" Ouyang Rong asked with a smile.
"You are generous, and you are still so good at coaxing people......" Xie Lingjiang glared at Ouyang Rong, stuffed this Ding sword into his arms, and squinted his eyes:
"You can't use it to coax people, not even jokes."
Ouyang Rong smiled and nodded.
After a while, seeing their backs disappear at the end of Merlin's path, he turned calmly and faced the empty courtyard:
"A miracle doctor passing by."
He rubbed his face with his palms and murmured:
"What's the deal with that weird dream...... I'm like... Bites a woman. β
β¦β¦
"Father, why don't you just tell Senior Brother Qingxiu about the girl?"
Merlot Garden, a study, Xie Lingjiang frowned, looked at his father who was calmly drinking tea, and asked:
"Did her second senior sister tell you something?"
Xie Xun sighed: "There are some things, do you need to say it too clearly, from the moment her second senior sister walked in, smiled and handed the old man a cup of tea, the old man knew what it meant......"
"This is just the meaning of her senior sister and second senior sister, not the heart of the beautiful girl!"
Xie Xun shook his head: "It's a matter of asking the divine doctor to help, and Little Lady Zhao has already promised her two senior sisters." β
Xie Lingjiang said stubbornly:
"It's not fair to the beautiful girl." She said word by word: "And the senior brother hates unfairness the most!" And even more so with him. β
Xie Xun asked, "Isn't Wanwan worried that he will do something wrong at all?" β
Xie Lingjiang shook his head:
"I have always believed that if it is really wrong, the senior brother will not do it, and if it is not wrong, why should he do it? Then it is even more important to let him know, there is no need to weave lies, even if they are well-intentioned. β
"But lies don't hurt, the truth is the quick knife."
The crisp voice of the wrapper came.
Xie Lingjiang frowned.
At this moment, she and Xie Xun are not the only ones in the study, but the family of Libao'er, Lixian, Lidalang, and Wei Mei are all in the house.
Xie Xun's father and daughter had just returned from the Meilin courtyard, and they came to visit, as if they had been waiting for a long time.
"Sister Bao'er, do you know Senior Brother, or do I understand Senior Brother?"
Xie Lingjiang asked unpleasantly.
Leaving Bao'er to pour tea, he admitted: "Of course it's the sister of the Xie family, and I know Ouyang Lianghan better." But sister, I understand people's hearts, and I understand the pros and cons. β
It was this proud and confident tone that made Xie Lingjiang very unhappy.
"You mean I don't understand?" Xie Lingjiang pouted and said, "Who didn't believe in Senior Brother's royal way before, and who despised the power of this small spoonful of water for the people of Dragon City?" Now a slap in the face? β
Li Bao'er frowned slightly, nodded and said:
"I admit it, I was really blind at that time, the arrogant person is me, Ouyang Lianghan has the talent of Wang Zuo, the royal road he promotes, is upright, and can ascend to the hall of elegance!"
The little girl in plum blossom makeup turned her head and said to Xie Xun and Lixian:
"So, father and brother, we have to ask him for help, this kind of talent must not be missed.
"Uncle Xie did the right thing.
"Besides, this is also the entrustment of the second senior sister of Zhao Xiaoniang, Yunmeng Jianze and Zhao Xiaoniang's affairs, we are not allowed to say a word in front of Ouyang Lianghan. This second female monarch is very powerful, Xiaozhi is emotional and reasonable, plus a hand to salute first and then soldier, we can't beat them for the time being, what can we do if we don't follow, tell Ouyang Lianghan, but it hurts him. β
"You crooked ......," Xie Lingjiang got up.
Xie Xun sighed and said, "Okay, Wanwan, stop arguing." β
Lixian also hurriedly got up, pulled Li'er's sleeve, and said with a wry smile: "The virtuous niece is angry, and Bao'er is straight, huh." β
Xie Lingjiang shook his head: "She's not straight, she has a lot of twists and turns." β
Li Bao'er smiled and said, "That's straight and straight, and I haven't seen Sister Xie take someone down, it's a good thing." β
"What are you talking nonsense, you ......" Xie Ling Jiang blushed and took the case.
"Okay, okay, Bao'er, can you say a few words?"
Lixian and Xie Xun hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded the second daughter.
Wei Mei stood aside, quietly glanced at the girl of the Xie family who was blushing, and then at her own daughter who seemed to care lessly.
The woman in the long dress looked thoughtful.
"Actually...... I also think Uncle Xie is quite right. β
Li Da Lang interjected at the right time.
Everyone suddenly fell silent, and looked at each other, including the idle couple.
They looked at each other with surprise in their eyes.
Usually, it is rare to see my own eldest man express his opinion, and he has always been used to being silent.
"This is indeed good for Lianghan, and it is also good for the people of the world."
Lida Lang's tone is serious:
"With the talent of Lianghan, we should go to a broader world and benefit more people, because there is more than one dragon city in the whole world, but there is a lot of Lianghan."
"But Da Lang, didn't you like us to involve other people...... before"
Li Dalang turned his head, smiled at the idle couple with surprised expressions, and said:
"Before, I was afraid that our family would affect Lianghan's future, but now, if Lianghan's analysis here is correct, if there is really a little hope, as Ah Mei said, our family naturally can't miss Lianghan."
The faces of Li Xian and the others were pleased, and Xie Xun couldn't help but turn his head to look at Li Dalang, as if he was a little surprised.
If it is really as the "Longzhong pair" said on the day of the disciple Lianghan, then as the indisputable eldest son of the idle man, this respectful, generous and kind Lida Lang may be the eldest grandson of the emperor in the future......
At this time, the idle words brought Xie Xun back to reality:
"Brother Xie, what did you say about your lunch this time? What does he mean? β
Xie Xun muttered: "Liang Han said that Longcheng is busy, he has just recovered from his illness, and he has to deal with it for a few days, so he has no time to think about anything else for the time being." β
Not long ago, the master and apprentice had afternoon dinner at the grape trellis, and they did not mention the resignation of the last official during the whole process, but the whole process revolved around this matter.
In fact, what Xie Xun wants to know is very simple, whether his proud protΓ©gΓ© still has the heart of a career.
If not, then there is no way to talk about Xie Xun's introduction of the abolished emperor and his family.
Fortunately, the answer I got for this lunch was not bad.
Xie Xun touched his beard.
"I didn't just say no." Leaving the leisure for a long sigh of relief, sighing:
"I was worried that Liang Hanxian's nephew would continue to resign, after all, before, under our noses, I almost resigned and went into hiding, but fortunately, my niece chased him back.
"Right now, as long as you don't resign and continue to be the commander of Longcheng, you should still have the heart to join the office."
Speaking of this, the idle couple couldn't help but turn their heads and glared fiercely at Libao'er, who was drinking tea alone, as if to blame her for not reporting her last time.
Away from the wrapper, the eyelids were slightly narrowed, and the tea was silent.
The waste emperor, dressed as a rich and noble person, walked to the window and sighed:
"In other words, what is it that can impress this virtuous nephew."
The atmosphere in the study was silent for a while.
got up from Bao'er, wore a full-breasted skirt, walked to the bookshelf, pulled out a book, opened it and took a closer look, while analyzing it crisply:
"No matter what, about the matter of Zhao Xiaoniang, everyone pay attention, don't leak the news, Yunmeng Jianze, we can't afford to provoke it for the time being, and so is Ouyang Lianghan, knowing too much will only increase the sorrow, and it will be useless for him and us."
In addition to Xie Lingjiang, Li Xian and the others slowly bowed their heads.
Li'er was the first to leave the study, and also took a book by Xie Lingjiang, who had no time to pursue it at the moment.
Seeing this, the idle couple and the divorced husband also said goodbye and left one after another.
In Yilanxuan's study, only Xie Xun and Xie Lingjiang were left.
The atmosphere was silent for a while.
Xie Lingjiang immediately turned his head and broke the silence:
"Even if I reluctantly agreed to the second daughter...... But Father wasn't like that before. β
Xie Xun stroked his beard for a moment, and suddenly said: "For my father, I hope that Lianghan can inherit the mantle." β
"So my father is the same as my uncle?"
Xie Xun was noncommittal.
She turned her head away, and said:
"But the senior brother has the right to know, I understand the senior brother, he is steady, and he will not be impulsive......"
"Nope." Xie Xun suddenly said: "In this regard, my father understands him better than you, he... Yes. β
Xie Lingjiang turned his head.
Father and daughter look at each other.
Quiet inside the house.
Outside Yilan Xuan.
The idle family who left the study walked on the corridor.
"Brother is the best place to go."
The little girl with plum blossom makeup who was walking in the front suddenly spoke, and said to the stunned Lidalang:
"Sister, I am only suitable for talking about the pros and cons with smart people, I don't know how to talk about feelings, my father and mother are too old, my brother is just right, and I am a friend."
Without waiting for Li Dalang to respond, Wei Mei seemed to smile, glanced at Li Bao'er with his head held high, and said:
"Don't know how to talk about feelings? According to my mother's personal opinion, it may not be necessary, maybe it is more suitable than Dalang. β
ββ¦β¦οΌοΌβ
Li'er turned her head and glared at the smiling grandmother, snorted coldly, and flicked her sleeves away.
Leaving the idle and leaving the big man looked at each other.
Sorry for the long wait, good brothers, this chapter is a thousand words more, good night guys!
(End of chapter)
