"Go to Jingyiting."

"Yes."

Ouyang Rong held the golden oil flax cake wrapped in oil paper and boarded the carriage waiting on the side of the street.

He gave a casual order, and the groom answered, and the carriage turned to the water mill.

In the early morning, the dew on the weeds on the roadside was shaken off by the sound of horses' hooves "clattering" on the horse-drawn carriage.

In the carriage, the gold oil flax cake was a little hot when it just came out of the pot, and Ouyang Rong changed his hand several times before trying to take a small bite.

Hot bread filled his hungry stomach, and he leaned back in the carriage and breathed a sigh of relief.

The carriage that Ouyang Rong was sitting in was entering the city from the West City Gate.

He was outside the city both days.

Food, drink and accommodation are all settled on the tip of the twin peaks.

The construction of the Big Buddha in Xunyang Grottoes is entering a critical stage, and he needs to go over and stare at it in person.

Ouyang Rong finished eating the flax cake and the remaining oil paper, and after hearing the sound of children frolicking outside the carriage, he folded a paper airplane casually.

Lifted the curtain and flew out of the paper airplane with a smile.

Watch the group of runny children chase paper airplanes away in the sun.

Ouyang Rong retracted his gaze and sniffed the fabric on his left and right shoulders.

I haven't taken a bath for a few days, so I just went to the little sister to have a hot spring.

The little junior sister has been living in Jingyi Ting recently, so it is convenient to accompany Qin Ying to the Yaji banquet.

After a while, the carriage drove into the back door of Jingyi Garden.

Before Ouyang Rong got off the train, he took out a long strip of cloth bag from under the seat of the carriage and brought it inside.

Outside the door of the secluded boudoir, after seeing Xie Lingjiang, he handed her a long strip of cloth bag.

Ouyang Rong walked into the hospital by himself.

Xie Lingjiang skillfully held the long cloth bag and followed behind him.

It seems that he has just gotten up, Xie Lingjiang has a goose egg face with no makeup, no powder, naturally carved, like satin hair tied at will with only a red rope.

She rubbed her apricot eyes from time to time, and her demeanor had a bit of the lazy temperament of a beauty who gets up late and lazy to make up.

"Why did you come back all of a sudden?"

"Go back to the city to deal with the accumulated official business, and take a look at you by the way."

"Go wash it down, it's full of sweat."

"Not together?"

"You want to be beautiful."

"I'll just go to the hot spring eye to get water to wash, don't waste it."

"You can spoil it, huh."

"You don't drink again, what's wrong with me taking a shower? Oh, I think about it, it's someone's footwashing water, right, no wonder it's so important, it turns out that it's reluctant. ”

"You're not allowed to mention it again." The beautiful woman glared at him fiercely, and asked a little unpleasantly: "Do you still use it for foot washing?" ”

Someone was noncommittal, blinking his eyes: "So after helping you wash it that day, did you like it and secretly wash it again?" ”

"Who is not ashamed like you."

"Understood, it's not me, it's not interesting to soak your feet alone, it seems that I have to come."

"You, you take your bath, don't be poor."

Xie Ling Jiang Jiao snorted and nudged his chest.

Ouyang Rong smiled and didn't tease the little junior sister anymore.

"You've got a set of clothes left here, just to get it for you, wait."

Approaching the hot spring eye that the two of them were familiar with, Xie Lingjiang suddenly spoke, turned his head and ran to get his clothes.

However, Ouyang Rong felt that she was looking for an excuse to run away, afraid that he would make it bad, so he washed her halfway and pulled her "into the water".

Ouyang Rong shook his head with a smile, too lazy to poke her.

Maybe it was because he had to go to the Jiangzhou lobby in the morning to deal with official business, but he came to take a bath this time, and he didn't make a bad deal the whole way.

When he came to the hot spring, he used a wooden bucket to draw water, and after washing it casually, he changed into the clean clothes that the little junior sister had just found.

Xie Lingjiang, who deliberately squinted his eyes and carefully observed from a distance, looked at the senior brother who was honestly wiping his hair in the sun, and found that he didn't mention anything bad about letting her hand over towels and clothes throughout the whole process, Xie Lingjiang couldn't help but feel some novelty and weirdness in his heart.

Is it a modified child? It's rare that it didn't make it bad.

But...... She was a little disappointed in her heart, what was the disappointment?

Xie Lingjiang, who was standing quietly, looked away, bit his lip, and secretly criticized his crankiness in his heart.

"The clothes are full of sweat, dirty, and I don't know how to change them, no one cares about you outside, I really don't know how ......to change them when I wear a set of clothes."

She muttered in her broken thoughts.

However, Ouyang found that the little junior sister did not stop when she bent down to clean up his dirty clothes, crumpled them together, held them in her arms, and after lowering her head and sniffing, her little face turned her head with a little disgust......

"Why did you go to the Twin Peaks this time and bring it with you?"

After disposing of the dirty clothes, Xie Lingjiang returned with the long cloth bag and tilted his head and asked.

"Just in case."

"Prevent those unconvinced merchants?"

"Yes, it is indispensable to guard against people."

"Actually, just let Rokuro keep an eye on it, senior brother...... It's really discreet. ”

"Had to be cautious. The little junior sister may think that the benefits of Xingzifang are not much, but for those people, it is enough to take risks. ”

"Makes sense." Xie Lingjiang bowed his head slightly, and quickly understood.

In fact, this is also the reason why Ouyang Rong likes to talk a lot with Xiao Sister Xie and is often a teacher in front of her - Xiao Xiao Mei is not stubborn and arrogant, but empathetic, can listen to the right, and has a gentle temperament that belongs to a woman, which man doesn't love it?

Her eyes went straight to Ouyang Rong:

"However, that Pei Sanniang doesn't look like a person who can't be carried clearly, they happen to be from Yangzhou, they know their aunt's means and power, dare to make small moves, and they have to think about how to deal with their aunt in the future."

"I'm afraid of being stunned." Ouyang Rong whispered, Xie Lingjiang lowered his head, and casually untied some cloth bags.

"Ahem, don't open it."

"Reason." Her eyes slanted slightly.

"There is a sword of Yunmeng Jianze inside, the craftsman needs to be pressed, don't leave the box casually, don't let the little guy slip out."

"Oh."

Xie Lingjiang nodded, he did feel that the sword box was much heavier than before, and he was curious:

"This sword, the sword aura is very strong."

"Let it be."

Without waiting for Xie Lingjiang to ask again, Qin Ying's voice sounded outside the courtyard and came to her.

Ouyang Rong put on his coat and went out hand in hand with Xie Lingjiang.

Xie Lingjiang and Qin Ying were going to Xunyang Palace, looking for Bao'er to walk together.

Before Ouyang Rong went to the Jiangzhou lobby, he also went to find Lixian and Lida Lang to discuss the latest situation, just by the way.

The group rode in a carriage together and came to the Xunyang Palace.

After the second daughter got out of the car, she said goodbye and left.

Ouyang Rong turned around and went to the study, and happened to meet Lu Jian who left the study.

"Where is Daoist Lu going?"

"Her Royal Highness the little princess will travel later, go to Kuanglu, and the prince will let the poor road accompany him to protect it."

Ouyang Rong nodded, remembered something, and asked quietly:

"Did Daoist Lu go to Xingzifang recently to find the Huang family's father and daughter?"

"I was there the day before yesterday."

"I haven't asked, why does Daoist Lu often go to them, just to help take care of them?"

Lu Quan hesitated.

"Not exactly."

"I want to hear about it."

"Actually, I also told Her Royal Highness the little princess about this, and it's not a secret. The little girl surnamed Huang that Ouyang Gongzi helped, she has a relationship with the poor teacher. ”

The land pressure discourse is about to stop.

Ouyang Rong raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at the paralyzed face of the young man in the Taoist robe below.

"Fate...... Got it. But do you Shangqing Sect also collect Kun Dao? ”

"Shangqing, where the poor Dao is located, has no class, and it is not like Taiqing and Yuqing who reject different disciples or Kun Dao."

"I see."

Immediately, between the two, they fell into silence.

Not long after, Ouyang Rong said goodbye to Lu Quan, dealt with things in the study, and left the Xunyang Palace, he took a long strip of cloth and went to the Jiangzhou lobby.

After arriving at the main hall, he put aside his ordinary long cloth bag and turned his head to deal with his official business.

When he was in Jingyi Court just now, he didn't fool the little junior sister, and it was indeed inconvenient for the craftsman to leave the Mo family's sword box.

It needed to suppress the snow-white sword called "Zhishuang" of the Snow Candle. Well, although it also comes with a purple belly pocket.

It seems that he learned of Ouyang Rong's return in advance, and Yan Liulang rushed over.

Ouyang Rong asked him.

"Liulang, Pei Shisanniang, who made you star, and those Yangshang, how are they now?"

"There hasn't been any movement recently, but there are frequent gatherings, and that Pei Sanniang is doing well, but those Yangshang have some complaints about the Ming Mansion at private dinners."

After listening to this, Ouyang Rong nodded:

"Complain, complain, whisper, the official can't control it, you continue to stare, remember, the most important thing is to keep an eye on them to see if there is a ...... Signs of contact with Wang Lengran. ”

"Yes. Wait a minute. Ming Fu means ......"

Yan Liulang couldn't help but look sideways.

Ouyang Rong was speechless.

After thinking about it, Yan Liulang pondered:

"He was so miserable by the Ming Mansion before, and his majesty was lost, and recently the Wei family has been frustrated again, this surnamed Wang shouldn't dare."

"It's not that I'm worried and afraid, the official mainly doesn't like the unexpected feeling, Rokuro just pay attention to this aspect, and report the situation."

"Yes."

Ouyang Rong retracted his gaze, opened a volume of official documents in his hand, and was about to ask Yan Liulang to retreat and get busy, but the latter did not mean to leave immediately, but took out a letter from his arms and handed it over.

"Wait for Mingfu, over there in Dragon City, a new letter was sent this morning."

"Who's in Dragon City?"

"Lord Diao."

Ouyang Rong took the envelope with some curiosity, opened the wax, and took out a piece of stationery, on which was the familiar handwriting of Diao County's order.

He glanced at it, and there was not much content, but immediately, his face was slightly stunned.

It was not Diao County Decree looking for him, but the rare Ah Qing looking for him, and the letter was also written by Diao County Order.

In the letter, the little girl only mentioned one thing.

The evening before yesterday, the tall blond-haired orchid came looking for her again.

The candle in the snow seems to fulfill the promise that Sanhui Yuan said before leaving that day, to visit Ah Qing again and ask for advice again.

Of course, Ah Qing politely refused, and cleverly cooperated with his sister-in-law and grandmother to cover for him, the "brother" who was not present.

The candle in the snow should not have noticed anything, and after being politely refused, she left a little disappointed, but she still left A Qing with a piece of jade, saying that she would use it when she changed her mind......

Ouyang Rong put down the letter, and his heart was a little warm about what Ah Qing and the others were doing.

However, his brows were slightly raised, and he said to himself:

"Are you just here to find A-Qing, or is it just to stop by and do something......

However, what Ouyang Rong wanted to know more was whether the embroidery girl came with the candle in the snow, but unfortunately it was not mentioned in Ah Qingxin.

Just as Ouyang Rong was contemplating the movements of Yue Nu, outside the lobby, Yan Liulang suddenly ran back and said in a deep voice:

"Mingfu, Miss Xie is looking for you, it seems that there is an emergency, she is waiting for you in the courtyard next to the back door."

"What did you say?"

"She didn't talk to the lowly officer, urging you to hurry over......"

Without waiting for Yan Liulang to finish speaking, Ouyang Rong immediately got up and strode out of the door, and after a while, he rushed to the side courtyard by the back door.

Pushing open the door, I immediately saw a tall red-robed figure wandering and pacing in the courtyard.

"What's the matter, little junior sister, didn't you take Little Lady Qin to participate in the Yaji, why did you come here?"

Xie Lingjiang's face was a little complicated, and he took out a few things and handed them over.

"Big brother, look at these ......"

Ouyang Rong's gaze condensed slightly, and fell on the hands of the little junior sister.

I saw that she was holding a basket of red leaves and three oil-paper umbrellas......

……

The night is as dark as ink, and the autumn wind is howling.

In the corner of Xingzifang, there are courtyards and houses that have fallen into disrepair, and they are all hidden in the darkness at the moment.

The population density of this cheap housing area in Xingzifang is definitely the highest in Xunyang, and some people joke that a random tile on the roof can hit two people, one tall and one short.

But now, it's been three watches, and most of the families here have turned off their lights to rest, and only the occasional sporadic black shadow of getting up at night to relieve their hands flashes. There is no bright light on the banks of the Xunyang River or several other rich and prosperous houses that keep going all night and have fun all night.

At this moment, in the dark room of a dilapidated courtyard, the snoring sounded punctually and rhythmically, and most people fell asleep.

"Squeak".

The half-sided cabinet door was quietly pushed open from the inside.

A small head with a lotus crown poked out of the cabinet and seemed to look inside the dark room.

After repeatedly confirming that the father and daughter of the Huang family on the straw mat were asleep, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Leaning less, the little female crown wearing a black Confucian costume skillfully jumped down from the top of the cabinet, layer by layer, without making much noise during the whole process, lighter than a cat, but her expression was vaguely serious.

In the past, she often took advantage of Huang Xuan and Huang Feihong to fall asleep and sneak away to Hanlei Mozhai to forage for food and fight the autumn wind.

However, tonight, she did not have the expectation and cheerfulness she had in the past.

Miao Si turned her head and glanced out the window at the dark night.

The three-day period has arrived.

Tonight was the deadline set by the cold, cold palace girl.

Less leaning, in the room, the small figure of the little female crown in Confucian clothes disappeared.

On the straw mat in the house, the bearded man was still asleep and turned over; The little girl with her eyes closed who was lying flat and sleeping didn't know what she dreamed of, she screamed a few times in her dream, and the corners of her mouth smiled......

(PS: I took the car back home today, I was on the road all day, and I arrived at 2 o'clock in the morning.) The update was in the car yard, and it was a bit of motion sickness.

I saw a lot of traffic jams along the way, most of which were caused by traffic accidents.

The Spring Festival is coming, good brothers pay attention to safety on the road, driving brothers must not be anxious, finally, the Spring Festival is coming, I wish everyone all the best! ）
