Chapter 411: The Qin Family's Granddaughter (Happy New Year's Day~)

"Why did Aung get off the boat so early?"

"Let's go."

"But what about the people who pick up the boat in Xunyang City?"

"Ying'er wants to see Ouyang Lianghan, right?"

"That's right."

The female voice did not twist, and Dafang admitted:

"At the end of last year, the resignation of the Beijing official, coupled with the Tanhualang in the first year of the holy calendar, dared to prepare a coffin to directly admonish the empress and scold Princess Changle...... Who of the ladies of Luodu doesn't want to see the gentleman Lianghan, and I heard that Ouyang Lianghan was handsome and handsome, and his talent was also the first class in the Great Zhou. ”

"Okay, let's go to Xunyangdu and have a look."

After a pause, he pondered in his tone:

"By the way, visit the Xunyang morning market, there should be a lot of delicious food, this Xunyang City, close to Kuanglu, hermit celebrities, this so-called hermit celebrities, all claim to be indifferent to fame and fortune, but the appetite is a lot, there are a lot of gluttony, each greedy and loves to drink......

"Although I don't know where they get the money to eat, heh, there must be a lot of food tricks in Xunyang City. The last time the old man came, he was in a hurry to leave after the birthday banquet, and he didn't have time to taste it, so this time he will take you to feast. ”

The female voice was categorical: "Don't eat." Eat more fatter. ”

"To be the daughter of my Qin family, I don't need to entertain people with sex, some time ago, the Wei Wangfu also came to the matchmaker, rushing to marry, take a walk, and accompany my grandfather to eat."

"Ah Weng doesn't need to be laughed at by the Luodu girl, of course you can eat it casually." The female voice turned her head in dissatisfaction.

"Oh, whose girl would dare to laugh at you? The old man even beat his old boy. ”

"No need, when you go over, the flowers are gone, I have already torn the root of their tongues, and I have met a few sisters and sisters, and they often help me.

"Ah Weng is happy to eat in Yangzhou, and he left me in the ancestral house of Luodu, surrounded by some hypocritical and vain ladies, and it is better not to melt into the circle that cannot be melted.

"I can't recite poetry with a clumsy mouth, instead of staying at the banquet in the deep house that is more than secretly torn, it is better to pull a fast horse, go to Zhongnan Mountain, and visit the admirable and hermitage of the Cui family sister by the way."

"That's why Ying'er came back and wore this robe? Still wearing a mixed scarf? Learn to cultivate in seclusion. ”

"What is learning, obviously, I was naturalized in the Holy Palace of Zhongnan Mountain Sect at the beginning of the year, and I can be regarded as a native of Kun Dao, and the Taoist number is Danyingzi."

"Oh, a nominal lay disciple, right?"

"What do you mean by a pseudonym? Originally, I was going to go to the mountains to live for half a year, cultivating my mind, but Ah Weng called me back, and now it hurts me......"

"How much does it cost?"

"Well, the steward of the outer hall of the Zongsheng Palace saw that I was familiar with that sister, and only accepted a hundred taels of meaning."

"That sister of yours, don't charge an intermediary fee or something?"

"What nonsense, she doesn't care about this mundane thing, besides, that sister's surname is Cui, how can she be short of money, I didn't mention it, she quietly donated money to naturalize herself."

"Oh, I heard that the Taoist religion in Kannai is very hierarchical? The younger generation has to listen respectfully to the seniors. ”

"yes, what's wrong?"

"Speaking of which, you may not know, after your grandma left, our family will donate a thousand taels of silver to a group of Louguan Taoist temples in Zhongnan Mountain every year, and the old man is still the honorary Taoist priest of the Holy Palace, and he also helped to get a Taoist name, called Long What, those objects were personally sent to the door, although the cow-nosed robe was not worn for a day.

"Dan Yingzi? It's your turn to be Dan, tsk.

"The mountains and seas are intertwined, and the lotus blooms into a treasure heart. The line is full of Dan edicts, and the moon is full of auspicious light...... I remember correctly, it is the generation of the Louguan Taoist faction, and the old man, the 'dragon' generation, I don't know how many generations you have to be higher than your 'Dan' generation. Listen to the words of the seniors.

"Let's go, Dan Yingzi, and go to dinner."

“……？？”

Half an hour later.

The figure of a group of outsiders appeared on the busy street of the morning market next to Xunyangdu.

At the front of the team, the two people who took the lead were a tall old man and a woman with a crown.

The tall old man was meticulously combed with silver and white hair, and walked in front with his back hand, walking like a fly.

seems to be the former granddaughter's bunched female Dao, who is also quite tall and has a good face, but her face is chubby, her body is wide and fat, and her temperament is kind.

At this moment, the slightly chubby woman followed behind the tall old man, her face strained, and she was a little loveless.

Behind the two of them, they silently followed some subordinate officials and staff and children of the same clan, who seemed to be familiar with the style of the tall old man.

Soon, the group was led to a breakfast stall by the tall old man, and ordered some special breakfast and sat down.

The tall old man didn't like the edge of the table, politely refused the Jinpa handed by the juniors, looked up at the bamboo plate on the menu, and picked a few breakfasts for his granddaughter and his companions, during which he chatted.

Shaoqing, served it early, Qin Ying, who had been facing hard and forced to cook, asked lightly:

"What kind of rice is this? I haven't seen it. ”

"Wild rice, one of the six grains, is not very popular compared to five grains, your little girl is pampered in Luoyang, of course I haven't eaten it."

The tall old man waved his hand.

Among the surrounding subordinate officials, some people couldn't help but look at the old man who was as enthusiastic as a glutton, like a few treasures, but the subordinate officials who were familiar with him had already buried their heads in eating.

Qin Jingqin said happily: "The old man told you that the classic way to eat this wild rice is to steam it through water, or cook it to make wild rice, this rice has low viscosity, not sticky like japonica rice, the particles are distinct, the taste is elastic and glutinous, and then accompanied by millet and rice to make porridge, which is very nourishing."

"This was in the Wei and Jin dynasties three hundred years ago, but it was a real 'hermit rice', and the hermit celebrities were popular to eat it, known as 'not a master who did not taste it', but the mushroom was not easy to cultivate and plant, only the wild shallows and swamps had it, and later there were fewer people who took it as the staple food.

"I didn't expect it to be popular in Xunyang City, and it has become a market breakfast, which may be related to the adjacent Yunmengze, where there are many herbs.

"It is worthy of Jiangzhou, which is close to Kuanglu Yunmeng and the peak of the hidden wind, there are the delicacies left over from the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and the food of the hermits of the former masters, flying into the ordinary market table, we laymen have a mouthful, heh."

Everyone around them, and even the diners and the proprietress of the other tables next to them couldn't help but look sideways, they didn't expect that the vulgar things they were used to eating every day had such a long history, and they couldn't help but look curiously at this old glutton who seemed to be from other places.

However, Xunyang City water transport is developed, next to the morning market is the Xunyang Gudu, which is prosperous in commerce and trade, and the river boats are crowded, for these strange outsiders, the people of Xunyang are accustomed to it, and the novelty looks at it for a while, and then it also disperses, not too much to see strangely.

Qin Ying pinched the chopsticks with a suspicious look on her face, tried to scoop and eat, her eyes lit up slightly: "Huh." ”

After a while, after the wind and clouds, he looked down at the empty mushroom rice bucket in front of him, and the corners of Qin Jingqin's mouth twitched.

"Well, it smells good." Qin Yingsiwen slowly put down her chopsticks and nodded in approval.

Qin Jingqin asked: "Dan Yingzi is not afraid of eating fat?" ”

The slightly chubby woman suddenly glared: "Ah Weng is going to die?" ”

"It's not too big or too small."

Qin Jingqin was not annoyed, and shook his head with a smile. Regarding the bickering of this pair of granddaughters, the surrounding officials looked at their noses and noses.

At this moment, at the Xunyang Ferry Wharf not far away, officers and soldiers began to empty the site. Qin Jingqin and his entourage, who were sitting in the downtown stall, were attracted to the past.

It was not yet two o'clock in the morning, but groups of Jiangzhou officials arrived in neat clothes, including Wang Lengran, who came with a grand pomp and gifts, and Rong Zhen, Miaozhen and others who were cold.

Qin Ying looked at Ah Weng, and her eyes seemed to be smiling.

Qin Jingqin didn't speak, and ordered a bucket of wild rice to the store in a soft voice, and shared it with his companions, and the old man buried his head in eating it deliciously.

At this time, a convoy with the word "leave" flag, wheels passed by the breakfast stall, drove to Xunyang Ferry not far away, and stopped at the wharf.

Qin Ying and the others saw that several people walked down from the two carriages at the front of the convoy.

It is Ouyang Rong, Xie Lingjiang and the family of Lixian.

Ouyang Rong, Lixian, and Dalang are in a carriage, and Wei Mei, Libao'er, and Xie Lingjiang are in a carriage.

I saw that the family and Xie Lingjiang were the first to get out of the car.

However, they got off the bus first, did not enter the dock immediately, and all stood quietly by the side of the car, looking back at what was waiting for. Ouyang Rong fell behind, he seemed to have some sequelae coughing, bent down and finally got out of the car.

This scene fell in the eyes of Qin Jingqin, Qin Ying and others.

From their point of view, the handsome and slender young man seemed to be saying a few words to the people around him after stepping out of the car.

A beautiful woman in red men's clothes stepped forward and draped him in a snow-white fox fur shawl, which was more expensive than a thousand gold.

A noble lady dressed as a princess hurriedly took out a snow-white suede cloak, a middle-aged man in a python robe who was suspected to be the king of Xunyang, and the black-clothed young man next to him who showed his old beard, the two immediately took it from her hand and walked to help the handsome and weak slender young man put on a shield.

Next to it, there is also a stunning little girl with a white forehead decorated with plum blossom makeup, silently handing over a hot water bladder wrapped in red silk, and the handsome and weak young man who was surrounded and taken care of by everyone took the hot bladder, put it in his sleeve, and warmed his eyes and hands......

Looking at this young man with a white fur who was surrounded and cared for by a group of nobles, Qin Ying suddenly asked:

"He is the prince of Xunyang, Jiangzhou don't drive away from Fusu?"

She couldn't help but look at it twice, and then slowly moved her gaze away: "The royal family of the Li clan is really good-skinned, especially this person...... By the way, what about Ouyang Lianghan, is it the one with a full beard next to him? ”

At the end of Qin Ying's words, she asked one more question without forgetting her original intention, and almost forgot the purpose of this trip.

Qin Jingqin shook his head and put down his job: "No, he is Governor Jiang Shi Ouyang Lianghan, Corporal Lixian, the young man with a beard next to him should be the son of the family Lifusu, and the daughter of the Xie family's Jinling House is also there, and the one in red is Mrs. Xie's beloved niece......"

Qin Ying was stunned, she didn't listen to the introduction much, and couldn't help but look at the fox white Qiu youth twice.

I looked at it for a while.

Not long after, Qin Jingqin, Qin Ying and others saw the wharf, Ouyang Lianghan, Xunyang Wang's family, Wang Lengran and others were all waiting quietly at the wharf, seeing that it was about to pass the second quarter of the afternoon, the appointed hour.

"Aweng won't come?"

"Thanks to getting off the boat in advance and taking a look, otherwise you will be set up when you get off the boat in the place, the formation of greeting on both sides is so big, the old man doesn't like this kind of excitement, let's go, don't call them first, go to the military camp outside the city to have a look, and then go back to the Jiangzhou lobby for a meeting."

"Okay, but, let the King of Xunyang and the chief officials of Jiangzhou wait for so long......"

Qin Jingqin smiled silently, it was better to be angry, and there was no need to be so troublesome in the future.

The tall old man patted his sleeves and left, Qin Ying had no choice but to take out the silver beans and put them on the table, got up to follow, and after walking for a while, she suddenly asked:

"Ah Weng urged me to leave Luodu this time, but I changed my eldest brother and sister-in-law, and they went to live in the ancestral house of Luodu for a long time...... The eldest brother's family is going to be hostages, right? ”

Qin Jingqin didn't look back: "Your Majesty is so gracious, you don't forget the old man." As a general, leading troops abroad, you have to leave something in the capital, whether it is a person or an ancestral home, so that the saints and ministers can rest assured, after all, not everyone is Li Zhengyan...... It's not a strange thing, it's not a big deal. ”

"Oh."

"What's wrong, unhappy?"

"I don't really like this kind of twisting, regular shackles."

"You don't have to worry about these things, the Qin family has a man who can take care of them, and there is no need for the daughter of the Qin family to do it." Qin Jingqin walked in front and waved his sleeves, and Shaoqing turned his words and asked: "By the way, the sixth prince of the palace mentioned by King Wei in the letter before, called Wei He Xuanlai, didn't you let your eldest brother inquire over there in Luoyang, your eldest brother's letter came back, what do you think?" ”

"That's it. No one has ever seen it, hearsay, how do I know if it's good or not. ”

"The old man listened to the tone of the King of Wei at that time, as if he wanted this Wei Shaoxuan to come to Xunyang City to see you, and let you go everywhere first, but the strange thing is that the King of Wei seems to have only mentioned this matter once, and it was silent when he got to the back of the Wei Wangfu, and he didn't know what was going on over there, and his attitude was a little perfunctory......

"Whatever...... Not. Qin Ying looked up at Qin Jingqin: "Ah Weng wants to get close to the Wei family?" ”

"Nope." The tall old man shook his head: "I just want to tell you about the family, it doesn't matter which party you are, you are not too small...... But I'm too lazy to rush you, just look at your eyes. ”

"Eye-rim...... Look. ”

Qin Ying was a little absent-minded, and glanced back at the crowd at the dock before leaving.

……

Xunyang Ferry Wharf, after receiving Chen You's news, everyone digested it silently for a while,

In Russia, Ouyang Rong, Lixian, Wang Lengran and his party hurried back to the Jiangzhou lobby.

Along the way, they were all chewing on the deep meaning of Qin Jingqin's move.

Back in the Jiangzhou lobby, everyone saw Qin Jingqin who was browsing the military book in the main hall.

Ouyang Rong took a look and found that this Qin Bo was the same as when he met him at the little junior sister's birthday banquet, he was tall, with a strong body, strong spirits, and meticulous combing of his white hair.

However, in the face of King Xunyang's departure and King Leng Ran, the tall old man was really official, and he only talked about leading the troops throughout the whole process, and ignored the topic of Wang Lengran's greetings and relationships.

As for Ouyang Rong, who had a one-sided relationship, Qin Jingqin also turned a blind eye, his gaze crossed over, and there was no greeting like an acquaintance.

After the meeting.

The new commander of the Jiangnan Provincial Marching Army once again declined all Xunyang banquets, including Wang Lengran's gift invitations with the Xunyang Palace.

All of them refused one by one on the grounds that they were old, in a hurry, and very tired.

Xunyang Palace, as well as Wang Lengran's side, all returned disappointed.

As for Ouyang Rong, it is even more impossible to talk, this old general of Qin doesn't even give the face of King Xunyang, not to be domineering and presumptuous, but to respect and stay away...... All in all, this old Qin has a businesslike attitude in the Jiangzhou lobby during the day.

After returning to the residence arranged by the official office at night, there was no step out of the gate, and the officials of the personal guards strictly guarded the house, which was stricter than the military law of the barracks, who dared to come to the door?

In the evening of this day, after discussing military affairs, Ouyang Rong returned to Huaiye Lane, and as soon as he arrived home, he saw Xie Lingjiang, who had been waiting for a long time and talking to his aunt.

Seeing him come back, she didn't say a word, so she pulled Ouyang Rong out, and in the carriage on the way, Xie Lingjiang stretched out his hand to tidy up the corners of his clothes and wipe his cheeks, Ouyang Rong asked her what was wrong, but Ying Ying smiled, but she didn't speak. Soon, the carriage came to a courtyard belonging to the Xie family's assets in Xiushuifang.

Ouyang Rong walked into the courtyard and saw the unexpected person in a luxurious flower hall...... Xie Xue'e.

"Why is Madame here?"

"Not welcome?"

"No, no."

"If it weren't for Seventeen Niang, I wouldn't have come."

"Naf...... What did my aunt do here? ”

"Changed your mind? You've figured it out, don't shout. ”

"Ahem, my aunt laughed."

Xie Xue'e squinted, looked at someone who was quite thick-skinned for a while, and spoke leisurely...... After listening to her, Ouyang Rong was stunned:

"What, I invited Qin Jingqin tomorrow night, a family banquet?"

"Of course, the family banquet has nothing to do with official business, and the Xie Qin family is just a private relationship. The daughter-in-law of the Xie family and the son-in-law of the Xie family...... I didn't say anyone, don't sit down...... The people of the Xie family, Uncle Qin still has to meet him. ”

Xie Xue'e looked away, and her tone pretended to be dissatisfied:

"If it weren't for the seventeen mothers who wanted to bring it, the family banquet would not invite outsiders."

Ouyang Rong looked dumbly at the beautiful woman who resolutely implemented the principle of hard mouth and did not waver.

He admitted that this mouthful of soft rice was not fed in a bit of a "mouthful......

2024, I wish you all good health and all the best!
