Ouyang Rong found that Yuan Huaimin was somewhat familiar with people.

He rode Dongmei, left the Jiangzhou lobby, and returned to Huaiye Lane for lunch.

Yuan Huaimin also followed, riding his thin black horse.

"Lord Changshi used to live so close."

Ouyang Rong nodded.

Yuan Huaimin was curious: "Lord Changshi, is this going back to the house for dinner?" ”

Ouyang Rong ignored it.

Yuan Huaimin twisted his fingers and said with a serious face:

"Dongmei is a divine horse, Lord Changshi is young and promising, riding this horse, it is really heroic, BMW with heroes."

The corners of Ouyang Rong's mouth twitched.

Yuan Huaimin looked left and right, and said mysteriously:

"Lord Changshi, I won't tell you, in fact, Xia Guan was a famous merry and chic poet in Chang'an City.

"It's not Xiaguan blowing, it's what the people in Chang'an City said, Xiaguan's literary style is also a top one in Daqian, I don't know how many Oiran beauties were sought after in Chang'an back then, and Xiaguan didn't pay attention to it at that time......"

Ouyang Rong and his entourage approached the Huaiye Lane mansion, and Yuan Huaimin's head came together, gushing endlessly, attracting several long-term followers from Ouyang Rong's Nanlong family, who couldn't help but look sideways, with disgusted eyes.

Ouyang Rong suddenly turned around: "So, what does Yuan Sima want to say?" ”

Yuan Huaimin wiped his mouth and nodded solemnly:

"Xia Guan wants to compose a poem for Lord Changshi to ride the heroic posture of the god horse Dongmei, how about it?" He sighed: "This is a good opportunity for celebrities in history, Lord Changshi must take advantage of it." ”

Ouyang Rong stared at Yuan Sima, who was a little narcissistic, for a while.

"Don't write poetry...... Dongmei really can't borrow you, I have something to do in the afternoon, and I have to go out of the city, let's go another day. He sighed and asked, "Yuan Sima, where do you live, why don't you go back to eat?" ”

Yuan Huaimin: "Xiaguan temporarily lives there in Xingzifang. ”

A long man interjected curiously: "Adults have official status, how can they live in a place with such an environment and poor public security?" ”

Yuan Huaimin was not annoyed at all when he heard this, and scratched his head with a smile: "Shyness in the bag, shy in the bag......"

Ouyang Rong rode on the horse with his waist straight, looked ahead, and said calmly:

"If you don't point it, you don't point it, half a stone has been deducted, Yuan Sima takes it as a warning, come early in the next few days, and there will be no more days at the end of the year."

"Good, good." Yuan Huaimin nodded ashamedly.

promised so quickly, Ouyang Rong was a little embarrassed, and when he saw the door of the mansion, he asked casually:

"It seems to be quite far back to Xingzifang, do you want to go in and have a meal?"

"Good, good!" Yuan Huaimin nodded vigorously, preemptively agreed, and then blushed and was ashamed: "That, I'm going to disturb the Changshi family." ”

Ouyang Rong silently turned his head and couldn't help but glance at Yuan Huaimin, who didn't see him at all.

"That'll do. The humble house is simple, coarse tea and light rice, Yuan Sima is not to blame. ”

"It's okay, it's okay."

Ouyang Rong took Yuan Huaimin back to the mansion for lunch.

In the main hall, Zhen Shuyuan had prepared a sumptuous meal, commanded the maids to place the fruits, and Ye Weilai handed Ouyang Rong a hot towel to her face and washed her hands with hot water.

The second daughter was quite curious about this strange colleague that Tan Lang brought back.

After a cup of tea, on the dining table, they looked at Yuan Huaimin's gobbling up, glanced at each other, and couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

Yuan Huaimin feasted and slurred his speech: "Lord Changshi, you ...... Where are you coarse tea and light rice, take you to my cold house another day, that is coarse tea and light rice. ”

Ouyang Rong took the bowl and sandwiched the vegetables, shook his head and said: "Coarse tea and light rice, that Yuan Sima is still late and doesn't order, wouldn't he have no money." ”

"Lord Changshi's words are wrong, as long as there is enough money and food, as long as there is enough food to eat." Yuan Huaimin looked serious and said surprisingly firmly:

"At other times, my generation should do something meaningful, there is no need to be annoyed by external things, excessive pursuit, and the same is true of the high value."

Ouyang Rong nodded: "Then I will deduct you for half a stone today......"

Yuan Huaimin suddenly had a bitter face: "If you miss half a stone, it's just not enough, you have to be hungry for three days." ”

The corners of Ouyang Rong's mouth twitched slightly, and he was stuck eating to death, right? After the deduction of monthly absences, as long as there is enough to eat?

"Yuan Sima's arithmetic is not bad, and I will arrange some accounting for you tomorrow."

“……”

Yuan Huaimin was stunned when he held the bowl, and suddenly felt that the food in his mouth was not fragrant: "Lord Changshi, this ......"

Ouyang Rong suddenly asked: "That Yuan Sima thinks, what is the meaning of my generation?" ”

"I don't know what other people say." Yuan Huaimin was sitting precariously, and his tone was firm: "But if you are in the next place...... Lord Changshi, don't be scared when you say it, you feel arrogant. ”

Ouyang Rong stretched out his hand and made a "please" gesture: "You say." ”

"I want to write a poem that is the best in the world! amazed the entire Great Zhou literary circle, and let the people of the two capitals compete for praise, and it will be famous for centuries! ”

Ouyang Rong looked at the Jiangzhou Sima in front of him who was holding chopsticks and scolding Fang Xuan impassionedly, but he couldn't even afford to eat and wanted to rub him, and raised his eyebrows slightly.

In front of Ouyang Rong, the beautiful woman in the Luo skirt and the silver-haired beautiful girl at the table, Yuan Huaimin had light in his eyes, spit stars flying sideways, and waved his sleeves in high spirits:

"The ancients said that meritorious service and virtue are not talented, and there is no ability to make meritorious contributions without the ability of the long history, so why is it difficult to make a speech?

"Stay in the next poem, the name of Huaimin will be remembered by future generations!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the hall fell silent.

At the dining table, Ouyang Rong looked at Yuan Huaimin for a while, then stretched out his hand under his sleeve and moved the food in front of him a little farther away.

Ouyang Rong nodded, as if expressing affirmation, and turned his head to eat with vegetables.

Zhen Shuyuan and Ye Weilai also continued to serve vegetables to Tanlang.

“……”

Looking at the three of them who were eating quietly, Yuan Huaimin smiled, "Ahem." ”

Keep cooking.

About a quarter of an hour later, Yuan Huaiming was full of wine and food, and under Zhen Shuyuan's polite hard stuffing, he was reluctant to resist the hospitality, packed some dishes and left.

Loaded on.

"Tan Lang, your colleague is quite interesting."

Zhen Shuyuan covered her mouth and shook her head: "I heard that it was a degraded official?" This mentality is quite open-minded, but he likes to talk a little big. ”

Ouyang Rong yawned: "I went to sleep, and I called me at the second moment." ”

He took Ye Weilai back to drink ice and take a lunch break.

……

Kuanglu Mountain, the top of the main peak of a certain named Yunwu.

"It's not easy for the Ming Mansion to come to Kuanglu Mountain, not to visit celebrities and celebrities, and have a look?"

Yan Liulang put his hands on his knees, and asked a little breathlessly towards the slender figure on the edge of the cliff in front of him.

Ouyang Rong shook his head, at the top of the mountain, looking down at the scenery below.

Kuanglu Mountain is not a mountain, but a group of mountains with a high altitude.

The clouds and mist evaporated by the Yangtze River and Yunmengze rush to the mountains of Kuanglu, making them shrouded in clouds and mist in all seasons, like a fairyland.

It is indeed a good place to escape the summer, even if it is now in winter, there is a spectacular snow scene.

It's just that in the past two days, after Ouyang Rong settled the official document every morning, he took Yan Liulang out of the city in the afternoon to visit the surrounding mountains and flatlands, and finally came to Kuanglu Mountain today.

But it's not for the sake of seeing this amazing scenery.

"This main peak has a good view." Ouyang Rong said suddenly.

"Indeed...... It's inevitable that this mountain is too high and too difficult to climb, so should the Ming Mansion choose this location? ”

Yan Liulang thought about it and suggested:

"To build the Big Buddha, it is better to choose a flat land, or a place close to Xunyang City, so as to facilitate the transfer of people and materials."

"That's right." Ouyang Rong nodded in agreement.

Kuanglu Mountain is located on the east side of Xunyang City, and almost the entire Xunyang City is built on the back of Kuanglu Mountains, and is bordered by the Yangtze River in the west.

Therefore, standing on the highest main peak of Kuanglu, you can clearly see the topography and surrounding situation of the entire Xunyang City below.

Ouyang Rong's eyes reflected the entire Xunyang City, and he couldn't help but say to himself:

"Standing here and taking a look, it's much clearer than an atlas or something.

"Xunyang City is good for everything, but there is too little flat land around, backed by Kuanglu, surrounded by mountains or sandbanks.

In other words, Xunyang City was originally built on the largest flat land here.

"From the westernmost and the shore of the Chai Mountain and Xingzi two squares, to the easternmost near the foot of Kuanglu Mountain, Lianxi Fang.

"It has been expanded to the extreme, and only the hills that are not easy to expand are left......"

Ouyang Rong muttered:

"With such a compact space, where should we choose the site to build the Big Buddha?

"It can't be like Luoyang Shangyang Palace, directly build the Buddha on the ground, spectacular is spectacular, but how much financial and material resources do you have to consume?

"Besides, there is no such large flat land in Xunyang City to spare, so we can't delay the people's livelihood......"

Ouyang Rong looked at the cliff and pondered.

In the rear, Yan Liulang ran to fetch a bag of clear springs and came back, handed it to Ouyang Rong, and gushed:

"Ming Mansion, I heard that there is a Kangwang Valley in the south of this peak, there is a curtain of clear spring in the valley, named 'Gu Curtain Spring', the suspension is 100 meters, the clear is incomparable, the tea brewed with this spring is a must in Kuanglu.

"There should be a lot of tea lovers there right now, should we ......try it?"

Ahead, Ouyang Rong took the water bag and replied without looking back: "The high mountains and clouds naturally produce good tea." ”

"Do you want to go and see the ...... of the Ming Mansion?"

Ouyang Rong suddenly stopped drinking water, and the hand holding the water bag pointed to the west side, and he didn't care about the spring water flowing down the bag, interrupting Yan Liulang's words:

"What's that?"

"Huh?"

"What's that place called?"

Yan Liulang was stunned for a moment, turned his head to look, and found that Ming Fu was pointing to two peaks not far west of Xunyang City.

The two peaks are quite low, the vegetation is sparse in winter, and the two mountains are bare, close together, with a narrow valley in between.

"Mingfu, wait a minute." Yan Liulang hurriedly flipped through the map and found the location, and Shaoqing read:

"Yuming Mansion, it seems to be called...... The twin peaks are coming. ”

"Twin Peaks...... How familiar it is, I haven't seen it somewhere. ”

"yes, we don't think we've been there yet." Yan Rokuro was curious.

Ouyang Rong muttered for a while and turned his head awkwardly.

"Let's go, go down the mountain, go see."

Why did you just climb up and go down again...... Yan Liulang was helpless, but he had to follow obediently.

On the way, Ouyang Rong suddenly remembered where he had seen this place name.

……

Late at night.

Chaisang Fang, Huaiye Lane.

The bamboo forests in the south are still dark green in winter.

The evening breeze blows, and among the swaying bamboo shadows, there is a small bamboo courtyard with the lights not extinguished.

In the room, a desk was piled high with copywriting, Ouyang Rong was wearing a fox fur cloak on his back, and his legs were covered with blankets.

At his feet, under his desk, there was a small stove, red hot coals emitting some waves of heat that distorted the air.

It adds some warmth to the room with the windows closed.

But in front of the small stove, there was a petite white-haired girl sitting on a small bench, covered with a blanket, hugging her knees and burying her head, accompanying her master to read at night.

At a certain moment, Ouyang Rong put down an old slip and let out a long breath: "That's it, I finally found it." ”

He muttered, stretched, and saw the girl on the small bench in front of him.

Ye Wei's delicate body was curled, her eyes were closed, her face was close to her knees, and her body shook slightly like the candle on the desk.

Ouyang Rong stood up lightly, took off his fox fur cloak and walked over, covered the sleeping girl, picked her up by the waist, and walked to the neat bed in the back room.

"Well, master...... Is the master busy. ”

"Shh

Ouyang Rong's index finger pressed on Ye Weilai's soft pink lips, she subconsciously held it in a daze, and for some reason, she sucked it skillfully...... Maybe you mistook something?

"......" Ouyang Rong carried her back to the bed, covered the quilt, returned to the desk, and wiped her fingers.

People sleep with sticky saliva, and girls are no exception.

Ouyang Rong shook his head and picked up the old slip on the table that had been stored in the warehouse in the Jiangzhou lobby for an unknown amount of time.

He walked to the window, wandering and pacing, looking down and reading carefully.

This is a simple plan for water control, proposing a water conservancy plan to control the floods near Xunyang City.

That's right, Xunyang City, like many counties below, is also plagued by floods, but it is not as serious as Longcheng and other counties.

It is mainly concentrated in the summer during the flood season of the Yangtze River.

So Ouyang Rong was not in a hurry, he was going to finish the Yuanzheng and Winter Solstice holidays, and then start preparing for prevention, but at the moment, it seems that he can prepare in advance......

Ouyang Rong glanced at the signature on the slip, the proposer of this water control plan was a minor northern official who was demoted to Jiangzhou more than ten years ago, his hometown is close to the Yellow River, and he is quite proficient in water conservancy knowledge.

This person handed this water control slip to the Jiangzhou lobby, but in the end it was not adopted by the Jiangzhou lobby and was shelved.

The reason why Ouyang Rong has an impression is because not long ago, in order to prepare the book "Playing the Ten Sparse Water Control in the South of the Yangtze River" and "Reading the Map of the Water System in the South of the Yangtze River".

At that time, he made a lot of preparations, and privately consulted the water control plans proposed by many states and counties in the south of the Yangtze River, which can be regarded as learning from others' strengths.

So I have some memories of this plan involving the water control of Xunyang City.

After returning from Kuanglu Mountain, on the same day, Ouyang Rong went to the warehouse in the Jiangzhou lobby to turn over the original manuscript.

Because this water control plan just mentions the twin peaks, it is also focused.

Ouyang Rong flipped through it again, nodded and said to himself:

"The flooding in Xunyang City is different from the flooding in Longcheng County, which is trapped by the flood in Yunmengze upstream, while Xunyang City is disturbed by the rising water of the adjacent Yangtze River during the flood season.

"And this part of the Yangtze River, the Xunyang River, converges in the south of the Shuangfeng Peak, and is blocked by this mountain and cannot flow northward, so it is easy to form an ocean, flooding, and inundating Xunyang City on the shore."

He held the slip in his hand, frowned slightly, and thought:

"The idea of digging a twin peaks is a bit whimsical, but it can be improved slightly.

"From between the two peaks, a canal was dug to dredge the Xunshui and make it flow into the Yangtze River together, so as to solve the flooding of Xunyang City......

"There's a head."
