On the street at the entrance of Xunyang Building, the air in front of a certain carriage was silent.

Rong Zhen walked away, and Xie Lingjiang withdrew his eyes.

"Is the little sister hungry...... Not. ”

Ouyang Rong had just said half of his words when he was hit by something in his chest, and he subconsciously hugged him, and when he looked down, it was a snack box containing sobering soup, which was stiffly stuffed into his arms by the little junior sister.

"Get in the car." The woman's voice was cold.

Ouyang Rong looked up, and Xie Lingjiang had already boarded the carriage without looking back.

"Oooh!"

He got in the car.

"What are you doing sitting outside, aren't you driving with Ali? What's the matter with you? In. ”

"Okay."

"You, sit closer."

"Uh-huh."

"The soul went with someone else? You can't say anything, do you, just nod and shake your head to deal with me? ”

"No, no......"

Don't wait to finish.

In the carriage, there was a sudden sound of clothes pulling and clattering, followed by the sound of "oops" clothes and soft clothes......

Outside, Ali focused on driving with a serious expression, as if he hadn't heard it, and drove very honestly.

In the past, the horse-drawn carriage was driven calmly and gently, and there were some shaky bumps along the way.

……

The newly arrived Chinese envoy in Luoyang, Khufu, settled in a large mansion with a plaque "Listening to Zhuxuan" on the same street as the Jiangzhou Hall.

This "Listening to Zhuxuan" originally belonged to Zhu Lingxu, the governor of Hongzhou, after the incident, it was taken back by the Jiangzhou lobby, and Zhu Lingxu's concubines and slaves were dismissed, and after the renovation, it became the best official residence of the Jiangzhou government.

At present, it is also used to place the personal envoy of the Son of Heaven.

Night, deep.

On the street in Xunyang Fang, a red lacquered silk curtain carriage pulled by two sweaty BMWs drove low-key on the street.

The carriage was tall, and except for the stout groom wearing a hat, the inside of the carriage was quiet.

The direction it came from seemed to be leaving from the just-concluded Xunyang Lou aristocratic cocktail party.

However, after the red-painted carriage approached "Tingzhuxuan", it suddenly slowed down, turned into a small alley next to it, and finally stopped at the back door of Tingzhuxuan.

The black silk curtain of the carriage did not move.

The stout coachman jumped out of the carriage and went to knock on the door.

After a while, the back door opened, and several slaves and guards appeared with dissatisfied faces, looking at the late-night visitors.

The sturdy coachman handed over a jade pendant in a muffled voice, as if he were a word.

The slave guards who followed Khufu suddenly retracted their expressions.

The jade pendant has a ring-shaped moire, as if it has been bumped, and a corner is missing.

One of the guards took the mutilated jade pendant and looked at the low-key carriage outside the door.

The night breeze blew and lifted the curtain a little, revealing a few dark shadows wearing hats and black cloaks.

The guard lowered his gaze, ordered his companion to stay, and turned around and hurried away......

In the carriage waiting at the back door, there were three black shadows sitting.

Although it is covered by a hat and a cloak, the figure is faintly visible.

A handsome young man with a piano case on his lap, a little girl with plum blossom makeup with a noble temperament, and a chubby old man with meticulous combing of his white hair.

"Ouyang Gongzi, please rest assured, the mustache followed the old slave very early, and he is the most filial godson, the mustache is pure and decent, practical and capable, although he is occasionally a little cautious and holds grudges, but he is also very grateful, and the old slave likes it when he is young.

"This time, the old slave came over and said to the son...... That jade pendant, the mustache must recognize it, unless he doesn't recognize the old slave's godfather. ”

The rickety and fat old man is the great housekeeper of the Xunyang Palace, Shun Bo.

Ouyang Rong and Li'er glanced at each other.

The latter bowed his head slightly, "Then it's hard work." ”

"That's what an old slave should do."

After a pause, she admonished again:

"Ouyang Lianghan's matter is the prince's business, so Uncle Shun is not only helping him, but also helping the palace and helping his father, you know?"

"The old slave understands!"

Shun Bo nodded vigorously.

At this moment, outside the carriage, the guards who had just left hurriedly returned, and the jade pendant in his hand had disappeared.

The guards looked around vigilantly at the door, and when they saw that no one in the alley had noticed, they turned their heads and bowed to the carriage with a respectful and flattering face:

"Your Excellency, please come in."

Ouyang Rong and Libao'er were about to get up and get out of the car, but Shun Bo waved his hand to stop them, and his eyes signaled to wait for a while.

The old eunuch who had been out of the palace for many years straightened his clothes, looked serious, stepped off the carriage alone, and followed the guards into Tingzhuxuan.

Ouyang Rong and Libao'er continued to wait in the carriage.

Without the nagging Shun Bo, the two were alone, a little embarrassed.

Ouyang Rong avoided looking at each other and looked to the side.

Glancing at the red mark under his sleeve, he asked:

"Did you make Sister Xie angry again?"

"Nope." Ouyang Rong sat down and shook his head.

"Your arms are not covered, and your sleeves are pulled."

"Cat scratching."

"You also have a cat at home in Huaiye Lane? Why can't you see cat hair on your body? ”

"Wildcat."

"Okay."

Li'er nodded:

"I'll go talk to Sister Xie tomorrow and let her pay attention, so that her beloved senior brother won't be scratched by the little wild cat that came out of nowhere."

The word wild cat bites extraordinarily hard.

"Don't!" He blocked.

"Feral cats or domestic cats?" She looked curious.

"Home...... Domestic cats. ”

"How did it change again?"

"Probably...... It's someone else's cat, scratching outsiders. ”

"Okay." Libao'er smiled: "Said that Sister Xie is someone else's cat, and she can't run away this time, so I'll tell her tomorrow." ”

"Is Her Royal Highness the princess finished?"

Ouyang Rong raised his head and asked unhappily.

Leaving the wrapper and taking care of himself:

"In a hurry?

"No wonder for dinner tonight, Sister Xie didn't give you vegetables, tsk."

"Can I clip her?"

"Okay."

She nodded, and changed the subject:

"I don't know if Shunbo's face is still useful, whether this Khufu is a person who misses the old days."

Ouyang Rong shook his head: "Whether it works or not, it's hard work." ”

"You're welcome."

The little girl in plum blossom makeup under the white gauze hat lowered her eyes.

Ouyang Rong lifted the felt hat on his head, lifted the curtain with two fingers, and turned his head to look at the night outside.

After the luncheon during the day, in the afternoon he went to discuss with the Xunyang Wang Lixian family.

Tonight, with the help of Libao'er's late return from the Wenhui as a cover, he and Shun Bo came to listen to Zhuxuan and inquire about Khufu's attitude.

Although it was an acquaintance who had helped at the beginning.

But who knows if there will be some changes after being away for more than half a year.

At this moment, the guards who had delivered the jade pendant token returned again, and Shun Bo was nowhere to be seen.

I saw that the guards were holding something in their hands, walked to the side of the carriage, and respectfully handed it out:

"Your Excellency entrusts this thing, and then invites the son in."

Ouyang Rong raised his eyebrows slightly and took the familiar waist knife.

It was the waist knife that he gave to Khufu before parting, and later saved his life, but he didn't expect to keep it forever.

Ouyang Rong silently took the waist knife, he didn't bring the expensive gifts prepared by Wei Mei and Li Bao'er in the car, only wore a felt hat, and got out of the car alone.

A long piano-shaped sword box was also placed in the carriage.

Glimpse away from the wrap.

"Ouyang Lianghan ......"

"Let's go, it's okay."

Li'er frowned slightly, looked at the back of Ouyang Rong, who was free and easy, and pursed his mouth.

She straightened her hat and cloak, and got out of the car to follow her......

Ouyang Rong is actually more familiar with this Tingzhu Xuan, after Zhu Lingxu's death, he was responsible for closing the house.

Speaking of which, walking on the corridor of this house in the middle of the night, he missed the old man a little......

Soon, Ou Rong, who had revisited the old place, was taken to a study with Libao'er.

As soon as they entered the door, the two saw a striking scene.

"Godfather, you dissipate your anger, everything is wrong, it's all the child's fault, the child should be beaten, godfather, you dissipate your anger, drink tea, drink tea, drink tea, ......"

"Ouch...... Godfather don't fight...... The child is really not an ungrateful person, the godfather misunderstood the child, the child will never dare to forget, the godfather spares his life, don't fight ......"

In the study, Khufu, the private envoy of the Son of Heaven, who was majestic in front of people during the day and was held by the stars, was kneeling in front of a chair at the moment, carefully serving tea to the old man in the seat.

And Shun Bo, who used to be respectful and respectful in front of Ouyang Rong and lowered his eyebrows, sat calmly on the chair, at this time he was silent with a cold face, and snorted lightly in the face of his godson.

Ouyang Rong and Libao'er walked into the room,

Some are too late to shy away.

Khufu, who was kneeling on the ground, hurriedly stood up, but in front of his godfather, his waist pressure was still very low.

He bowed his head and served tea, not daring to snub the white-haired rickety old eunuch in front of him.

"You said you were ungrateful, then Daddy asked you, how did you throw a face at Ouyang Gongzi when you just arrived in Jiangzhou during the day?"

"Shake your face? True...... Not really. Khufu was stunned for a moment, and then his face became embarrassed, and he explained:

"Misunderstanding, it must be a misunderstanding."

"None? Is it because Daddy inquired wrong? Okay, ask again tomorrow, Daddy doesn't wronged people, don't be wronged......

"By the way, Ouyang Gongzi is already here, Dad, I'll ask him again......"

"Huh, don't, godfather, don't."

When Khufu heard this, he called Shun Bo with a weak heart.

After Ouyang Rong came in, after looking at the situation on the field, he went to the front and cleared the siege:

"Uncle Shun, please calm your anger, Hu Zhongenvoy is not slacking off, it should be a misunderstanding."

Khufu looked at Ouyang Rong embarrassedly, a trace of gratitude flashed in his eyes, and then nodded at Shun Bo's chick as if pecking rice:

"Yes, yes, actually...... In fact, it's just that it's inconvenient to talk during the day, and there is no slackness. ”

"Is that so?"

Ouyang Rong and Hu Fu nodded one after another.

Shun Bo stared at the well-behaved and bowed head of Khufu for a while, and bowed slightly:

"Okay, you can talk about it, just treat it as an old slave."

Shun Bo took the teacup, blew the tea and took a sip, tonight his mission has arrived, and he will not mix.

Khufu turned his head and glanced at Ouyang Rong.

He sighed.

However, he still tilted his head first and bowed respectfully to Li'er.

"Her Royal Highness the princess is here, and she is not welcome."

"It's okay, please get up."

Leave the wrap and wave your hand.

It's not convenient to leave the idle or Dalang.

This kind of private meeting with the eunuch must not be caught.

It's different from Bao'er, you can move around a little, after all, daughters and sons are different.

As for the woman's appearance, the princess of Da Qian and Da Zhou, what's wrong with the open point? Who says women are inferior to men? Q: Have you ever asked the Son of Heaven to be a courtwoman?

"Ouyang Changshi, this time His Majesty asked our family to come, mainly to check the postponement of the Jiangzhou Hall.

"Let's see if the many difficulties you reported are really as you said, let's come to inspect, make a verification, and report to the court truthfully when you go back.

"So, Ouyang Changshi, you say, in this case, can our family be close to you in front of outsiders? Isn't that hurting you? ”

"I see."

Ouyang Rong nodded slowly.

Khufu thought for a moment and said:

"Ouyang Changshi, our family doesn't hide it, as long as there are no big mistakes in your work, our family, just go through the process, and we won't be embarrassed.

"And Ouyang Gongzi, who are you, our family knows in our hearts, and there must be no big problem on our side.

"But there is one thing to note, our family is not here alone this time, our family is just representing the Inner Servant Province, but there is still a line, Ouyang Changshi needs special attention."

"What line?"

"Your Majesty not only asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to send our family, but also asked Si Tianjian to send a Lingtai Lang, whose name is Lin Cheng, to follow him to Jiangzhou.

"Actually, it's kind of mutual supervision with our family.

"Ouyang Gongzi can't ignore this person."

Khufu admonished.

Ouyang Rong nodded thoughtfully.

"Does Envoy Hu know the origin of this Lin Cheng?"

"This son should not be from a high background, and he may also be from a poor family, but he can walk to the position of Xia Guan Lingtailang at a young age, and there should be someone to support him."

"I heard that there is a teacher who is the deputy superintendent." Ouyang Rong whispered.

"Si Tianjian's deputy supervisor? There is no one to mess with. Hu Fu said solemnly: "Ouyang Changshi pay attention to this person. ”

"Okay."

At this moment, Libao'er, who was looking left and right, asked curiously:

"Lieutenant Envoy Hu, remember that you didn't make a mistake last time and hurriedly returned to Beijing, how can you go out as a lieutenant envoy this time?

"Grandmother should be more severe, generally only eunuchs who are trusted and respected are treated like this."

"This, our family...... Our ......"

Khufu was a little distracted, and seemed to dare not look at Shun Bo, and explained in a low voice:

"Our family is indeed highly regarded by His Majesty......"

Why is that? After all these years without an old slave, do you have other connections to support? ”

Shunbo put down the teacup and asked curiously.

The tall man with a beard blushed a little.

"Not really. It's all said, it's Your Majesty's instrument...... Regard highly. ”

Ouyang Rong, Libao'er, and Shunbo were curious and exchanged glances.

Regard highly? What a heavy method.

Wait a minute.

No way.

The three of them widened their eyes one after another, looking at the tall and powerful bearded eunuch in front of them.

"Poof——!

Shunbo, who was originally there with the old god, squirted out a mouthful of tea.

It's good that you guy, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, actually took the road of such a favored minister!

Ouyang Rong couldn't help but turn his head to look at Uncle Shun who was wiping his mouth blankly.

This is what you call pure and decent, down-to-earth and capable?

Uncle Shun's face flushed.

On the side, as the granddaughter of the current empress, Libao'er's face turned red and she quickly looked away.

Ouyang Rong's eyes were speechless.

But he thought about it.

Except that Khufu didn't have that thing, he was no different from a strong man, and he also had a sticky beard, which was indeed manly.

Her Majesty the Aged Empress, who liked strong and beautiful men, naturally looked at him pleasing to the eye.

It may not necessarily be a face-to-face thing, but it can be regarded as a pleasant person with Israel, and he ate some kind of soft rice.

Hey, it seems that at the beginning of the apricot garden banquet, she was praised by Her Majesty the Empress as the "Pearl of the Southeast", and then directly awarded the official, also because she was too handsome, and Her Majesty the Empress was more disgusting?

It's a pity that no one pointed out later, and the back ...... Hit Her Majesty the Empress, well, it's a pity that it's the wrong posture.

It's been demoted until now.

Sure enough, no matter what era it is, the soft rice is quite fragrant...... Ouyang Rong sighed.

Under the shocked gaze of his godfather, Khufu buried his head and scratched his head.

I didn't forget to lift the teapot and refill a cup of tea for the wide-eyed Shunbo.

Ouyang Rong straightened up and clenched his fists at Khufu:

"Master Hu, admire! This is from the bottom of my heart. ”

Khufu was stunned for a moment, put down the teapot, and asked cautiously tentatively:

"Admiration? Ouyang Changshi...... Do you also have the idea of entering Beijing? ”

Entering Beijing? You're in the palace.

Ouyang Rong was immediately stuck, and he didn't know how to answer.
