"What does Mr. Wei think of Ouyang Lianghan."

"A thousand cups are not poured, and there is nothing wrong with that."

"Mr. Wei is rare to praise."

"What does Yan Gong think of this son, but there is still a chance to fight for it?"

"Let's see." Laughed.

"A thousand cups don't pour, frequent vomiting drunken words, Yan Gong is not annoyed?"

"What is annoying, from Huai, Yang to Jiang, Hong, all the way down to the south of the Yangtze River, all over the Jiangnan scribes, and only then did I meet such a 'thousand cups do not fall'."

"Yan Gong is still Aicai." After a pause, he added:

"However, Yangzhou Thorn Shi Su is promising, and he can barely be counted as one. That's why Yan Gong is leaving. ”

"Hmm."

Suddenly, "Coincidentally, both of them are the sons-in-law of the Xie family in Wuyi Lane, one big and one small, with a pair of aunts and nieces."

"It is said that the Shandong Shi clan is still married, the Guan Shi clan is still crowned, and the Jiangzuo Shi clan is still a person......

"Jiang Zuo's humanities, so Shang characters, what he said is true, five noble women, also married to Han Shi, if placed in Shandong Shi Cui and Lu, I can't even think of it.

"It's no wonder that although the Jiangzuo clan has declined as a whole, the Chenjun Xie clan still sits firmly at the seat of the five surnames and seven hopes."

A sigh of admiration.

The person known as "Yan Gong" was silent for a while, and sighed:

"There is also a Xie Xun, who is also a character, a famous teacher and a high apprentice."

"This pair of masters and apprentices have a tacit understanding, fooling back and forth. It's a pity that Xie is too conservative to conspire. ”

"If you are not conservative, it will be difficult to inherit the ancestral inheritance to this day."

"Conservative inheritance, Yan Gong hesitated?"

"No, just sighing, I am a Guan Long man, my head can be broken, blood can be shed, and I can't be humiliated."

"Color."

There was silence for a moment.

"Mr. Wei, the wealth of Yangzhou is really the best in the world."

"It's a pity it's been too far."

"What if you add Jiangzhou? The mouth of the three rivers, the thoroughfare of the seven provinces, the place of the world's eyebrows, down the river, can reach Yangzhou in the morning and evening, is the throat of the south of the Yangtze River. ”

"Jiangzhou is a good place. The place is good, and the people who live there are good, but it's a pity that there is one more Ouyang Lianghan, the same as Yangzhou. ”

"Look again." After a pause, "Look again." ”

"Okay, no hurry."

"I heard that Junzhi recommended a young man to Mr. Wei these days."

"That's right, this person's name is Yue Ziang, a native of Hongzhou, and he is the leader of the scholars in Jiangzhou Prefecture.

"Junzhi serves as a doctor in Jiangzhou, manages state studies, and has accidental contact with him, and he and Junzhi hit it off at first sight, and they have been pestering Junzhi for the past few days, and a lot of things have been revealed during this period."

"Heh, Junzhi is clever and observant, can speak well, and is really good at making friends. These days, participating in banquets in Xunyang City has made him make friends. ”

"Yan Gong rest assured, Jun Zhi is measured, there are inspections before making friends, he said that Yue Ziang has a simple and passionate personality, and admires Yan Gong very much, so far there is no harm, by the way, the previous Jiangzhou Holy Ancestor Temple's answer turmoil was provoked by Yue Ziang."

"The time when Ouyang Lianghan said, 'Study hard and make progress every day' became famous all over the world?"

"Yes, that time it was Ouyang Lianghan. However, although frustrated, Yue Ziang didn't seem to be convinced. ”

The tone was light: "What does Mr. Wei think of this son?" ”

"Not available, but available."

"If we accept this son, will it cause Ouyang Lianghan's mustard, after all, the two of them have contradictions."

"Junzhi said that he came to deal with it, which would not cause Ouyang Lianghan to be unhappy, and in addition, Ouyang Lianghan, as the governor of Jiangzhou, would be too small if he was still angry with a little scholar."

"Makes sense."

"Speaking of which, Junzhi recommended this son because he has some connections."

"Oh?"

"Yue Ziang was previously active in the Scholar Poetry Club of Xunyang City, and was a member of the Juhua Poetry Society, and had some friendship with the young daughter of the King of Xunyang and His Royal Highness the Little Princess.

In addition, this person's teacher when he was studying in Luoyang, named Yuan Xiangshan, a former official of the Ministry of Rites, abolished the emperor at the beginning, dismissed the official together, followed the ups and downs of the Xunyang Wang family, and lived in low-key seclusion in Longcheng.

"Now Mr. Yuan is an old man in the Xunyang Palace, teaching the son to read, and the Xunyang King and his son respect the old man very much.

"Originally, Yue Ziang had this connection, and it was easy to become a guest of Xunyang Palace, but unfortunately a few days ago, he was expelled by the King of Xunyang and the prince.

Listening to his indignation, it was Ouyang Lianghan who said bad things in front of King Xunyang and the prince.

"But I think that Ouyang Lianghan is not such a villain, and there is not much need to be idle against him, it is more likely that the king of Xunyang and the prince are worried about his personality and causing trouble.

"Although he is not treated by the Xunyang Palace, after all, this son still has the connections of the poetry club and the teacher, and he can help recommend Junzhi and contact the Xunyang Palace......

"So Junzhi also introduced Yue Ziang, which can be regarded as an exchange."

The air was quiet for a while, and someone sighed:

"In this regard, Toshiyuki is better than me."

"What do you say? Yan Gong is just too famous, and it is easy to arouse vigilance. There are some things that are more convenient for young people like Junzhi and Shuqing to do it.

"However, Junzhi does have the talent of a lobbyist, and it is not impossible to hand over Jiangzhou to him."

"Hmm." The tone was noncommittal, as if he thought about it:

"Mr. Wei will bring this son tonight, I'll see you."

"Okay, to be favored by Yan Gong, Yue Ziang must be flattered. By the way, there's one more thing. ”

"Speak."

"Yuezi Ang is a person from Hongzhou, and he has some connections in Hongzhou, and I heard him say that he is very familiar with Zhu Yuheng, the eldest son of Zhu Lingxu, the governor of Hongzhou.

"Right now, the eldest son of the Hongzhou Governor's family is still visiting famous places in Kuanglu Mountain."

"Is Zhu Lingxu empty?" Tone of thought:

"I have heard of this person, when he was young, he was a captain of the border army under my grandfather, and he was praised by his grandfather, and later made many military exploits in the frontier army, and he achieved the position of the governor of Hongzhou all the way, and he was indeed a general.

"It's just that I heard that this person is a bit of a money-loving and lustful person, which can be regarded as having both advantages and disadvantages."

"Oh? It turns out that there is still this layer of friendship, and Yan Gong has been blessed by the British Duke, and it seems that he can get twice the result with half the effort. ”

"What does Mr. Wei mean?"

"I heard that before Zhu Lingxu, the governor of Hongzhou, was a guest of the old King Teng, and now he is close to Lou with the new King Teng......"

The atmosphere at the table was silent.

I don't know how long later, someone stood up on the table:

"Good."

Turn around and go out.

"Where is Yan Gong going?"

"Xunyang Palace."

"That prince responded to Duke Yan's prayer?"

"Nope."

"Then what did you do in the past, this lord clearly turned a blind eye to Yan Gong."

"He can not be seen, but I can't not go, this is ...... The friendship of kings and ministers. ”

……

Ouyang Rong accompanied Li Zhengyan to Xunyang Palace.

Li Zhengyan said that he wanted to come to the door to ask to see the king of Xunyang.

And Ouyang Rong is about the construction of the Donglin Giant Buddha, and he needs to make a trip to report to the King of Xunyang routinely.

The two dropped by.

It's just that the result of their final visit is:

Jiang Governor Shi Ouyang Rong was warmly invited into the Xunyang Palace, and the King of Xunyang was idle and amiable, shushing the cold and asking for warmth.

Li Zhengyan was blocked out of the gate of the palace, hung out in the cold, stood for a long time, and was frequently looked at by the endless stream of passing officials at the gate of the palace.

Worlds apart.

Ouyang Rong was a little embarrassed.

Although this matter has nothing to do with him at all.

insisted on refusing to see Li Zhengyan, who was the former Meizhou assassin Shi and now Raozhou Sima and attacked the British Duke, which was more of a sense of leisure.

After all, one person is a degrading official who resolutely and forcefully opposes the construction of Tianshu and the Great Buddha.

One is the filial prince who supports the decision of the mother emperor and respectfully takes over the post of Jiangnan governor.

How to be too close.

But Li Zhengyan is so ignorant, Ouyang Rong's way here can't work, so he comes to the door by himself.

Naturally, it was an embarrassing closed door.

On the way back.

Ouyang Rong and Li Zhengyan rode side by side and walked on the street.

Ouyang Rong turned his head to look at Li Zhengyan's face, without the slightest expression of frustration and anger,

On the contrary, he still had leisure, reaching out to stroke the mane of Ouyang Rong's mount Dongmei, and his chin head:

"Lianghan, this is a rare good horse, good vision."

Ouyang Rong replied casually: "Someone else sent it, I don't know much about Soma." ”

Li Zhengyan smiled and said: "The person who gave the gift was really attentive, and this gift was very intentional." However, over there, it is an important etiquette to give famous horses, but I didn't expect that there are also in Jiangnan. ”

Ouyang Rong thought about it, closed his mouth, and still didn't say that it was a gift from his uncle who gave him a cold face.

He shook his head with a smile, and secretly boasted: "Maxima often exists, but Bole does not often have." ”

Li Zhengyan smiled.

The two passed through the noisy street of Xunyang Ferry Wharf, only to see officials posting lists, and the people actively watched.

At present, the twin peaks have begun to be excavated, and the subordinate Gong Cao of the Jiangzhou Hall is responsible for this matter, and is recruiting workers in Xunyangdu and Xingzifang, which has become a hot topic in Xunyang City in the past few days.

The daily wages for digging the canal are very considerable, and the sincerity of the government is so good that people can't help but wonder if there are some harsh terms that have been omitted or hidden.

However, the first batch of people who dared to eat crabs have already participated, and various positive feedback has been transmitted back one after another, and the workers of Xunyangdu have actively participated.

"Lianghan has the talent of the world, and it is a pity to settle in small Jiangzhou."

Li Gongmiao praised it.

Li Zhengyan shook his head:

"I have been to three states, Taiyuan, Yangzhou, and Jiangzhou. Among them, Jiangzhou's plan for building Buddha statues is the clearest, the fastest, methodical, and with very little public dissatisfaction. ”

He squinted at the sun above him and said;

"Regardless of the style of the Buddha statue built in the end, compared to Taiyuan Mansion and Yangzhou, Jiangzhou is the most stable and proper, just like Lianghan acts, calmly."

Ouyang Rong pretended to be curious and asked, "Gong Li still pays attention to these?" ”

"It's an old problem. There is no intention to criticize the steward, so don't be nervous. ”

"Nope." Ouyang Rong smiled and said jokingly: "I just feel that Li Gong is not so much like going to degrade an official to take office, but more like a ......."

Li Zhengyan's face was curious: "What is it?" ”

Ouyang Rong nodded: "It's a tour of the mountains and rivers, and a tour of the great rivers and mountains." There is no frustration in the derogation of officials. ”

Li Zhengyan laughed:

"Jiangzhou Wenhua is gathered, many scribes have been born in ancient and modern times, and the most well-known scholar who has ever produced for hundreds of years is the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Tao Yuanming under the east fence of picking chrysanthemums.

"Tao Yuanming didn't bend his waist for five buckets of rice and resigned and went into hiding, did he leave with a bitter face? What is his frustration and regret? ”

Ouyang Rong smiled: "In the past, there was Tao Gong, and now I meet Li Gong, good." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled.

On the third day, Ouyang Rong received an invitation from Li Zhengyan and others again.

It is a dinner held by Wang Junzhi after he was appointed as a doctor in Jiangzhou and officially took office.

Ouyang Rong thought about it and went to participate.

As a result, at the dinner, I met two unexpected people.

One is Yue Ziang.

Yue Ziang didn't come alone, with a tall man in white by his side.

Ouyang Rong knew that it was the eldest son of Zhu who had met at the birthday banquet of the little junior sister, the eldest son of the governor of Hongzhou.

How did he get here?

Ouyang Rong quietly looked away and sat down beside Li Zhengyan.

Wang Junzhi introduced the guests to him.

Although it has only been ten years since he came to Xunyang City, Ouyang Rong feels that this Wang Junzhi seems to be more familiar with Xunyang celebrities than him.

A sociable person indeed.

Ouyang Rong's afterglow swept over this hearty young man with a lively atmosphere.

After getting along for a long time these days, Ouyang Rong has gradually become familiar with the people around Li Zhengyan.

First of all, Wei Shaoqi, who was the imperial history,

Li Zhengyan respected him and called him "Mr. Wei", so Ouyang Rong also called him.

Wei Shaoqi was dressed in a shirt and his hair was white, and every time Ouyang Rong saw him, he changed the two shirts back and forth.

On weekdays, I don't talk much, but most of the time I listen quietly.

However, as soon as he opened his mouth, Li Zhengyan, Wang Junzhi and others would immediately calm down, probably a habit developed when he was an imperial historian, Ouyang Rong found that most of his words were straight to the point and could end the topic.

This person is not bad, no wonder he can be valued by Li Zhengyan, Ouyang Rong said in his heart.

Wang Junzhi and Du Shuqing are relatively young, but they are also four or five years older than Ouyang Rong, but they are still young and handsome.

They are all Dengke Jinshi, and they are from good backgrounds, and they are children of families.

Especially Du Shuqing, who is a member of the Jingzhao Du family, can be regarded as a child of the Guanlong family.

It's just that Du Shuqing has a mediocre appearance, a bit stuffy personality, does not match his name, and has a strong figure, not like a scholar, but more like a military attache in the border army.

He has great respect for Li Zhengyan and Wei Shaoqi, and he obeys his words.

Ouyang Rong naturally has a good impression of Du Shaoqing, and may have seen the shadow of a certain old man in Dragon City.

Wang Jun's person is as his name, with a white face and a tall posture, only a little shorter than Ouyang Rong, but he is well-dressed, better at dressing up than Ouyang Rong, and looks like a noble son.

He can speak well, and at the general banquet, he and Li Zhengyan are together to enliven the atmosphere of the audience.

But Ouyang Rong's sharp eyes found that this Wang Junzhi seemed to have some cleanliness habits, carrying a few handkerchiefs with him, and wiping his hands repeatedly before eating and drinking tea.

Even now, after toasting with the guests, he put down his wine glass, took out his handkerchief, and wiped his fingers that were a little wet with the wine.

Today, Wang Junzhi is the host, and the atmosphere in the banquet is naturally good.

Ouyang Rong found that Yue Ziang seemed to have a good relationship with Zhu Yuheng, the eldest son of the governor of Hongzhou.

Yue Ziang was very enthusiastic about Li Zhengyan and others, and even had a bit of admiration.

Ouyang Rong looked at it in his eyes.

thought that in this banquet, Yue Ziang would be like him, tacitly ignoring the other party.

Unexpectedly, Yue Ziang suddenly got up and raised his glass to him:

"My lord, I used to be young and ignorant, I misunderstood the adult, and I was abrupt and presumptuous, and I hope that the adult will forgive me."

As he spoke, he punished himself three times in a row.

Ouyang Rong was raising his head to drink, and when he heard the words, the wine glass paused in his mouth.

He turned his head left and right to look at the people around him, pointed at himself, and his face was full of confusion: "You said me?" ”

Yue Ziang's face turned red, and he couldn't tell whether Ouyang Rong was pretending to be stupid.

In front of the audience, he tried to laugh and nodded again: "Yes, Lord Ouyang." ”

Ouyang Rong waved his hand: "It's okay, it's okay." ”

After a pause, he turned his head to Li Zhengyan and his party, who were quietly looking sideways, and smiled embarrassedly and said:

"However, I still like the arrogant and untamed appearance of Yue Gongzi before."

Yue Ziang et al.: "......"
