In the back garden of the Huaiye Lane residence, Xie Xue'e was talking to Ouyang Rong:

"At the same time, Mr. Ouyang, you have to know that there is another meaning in this, that is, His Majesty has ignored you, and you, as a direct minister who has attracted the attention of the whole court, also need to ignore His Majesty's actions. This means that His Majesty has issued a decree.

I order you to stop persuading me, as it is a treat for a king and his ministers."

Ouyang Rong smiled and said:

"I see. Aunt Xie sees clearly."

Xie Xue'e slightly raised her pointed chin:

"Of course. These matters are related to your future and the future with Huanhan. How can I ignore it? Of course I have to find out clearly. Moreover, your uncle is the governor of Yangzhou and will also help you in this regard...

"Master Ouyang is keeping a low profile now. Jiangzhou Sima will be Jiangzhou Sima. There is nothing wrong with him. Just treat it as a holiday for yourself, travel around the mountains and rivers, and have a good rest in Xunyang City. Many people can only ask for it."

She curled her lips, shook her head and said:

"A gentleman hides his weapon in his body and waits for the time to move. The most important thing is that you are different from other poor men, so why worry about not being able to recover. At present, the wind is getting tight, and Mr. Ouyang is just waiting for the situation. By the way, he can spend more time with Huan Huan, and I want to be my concubine.

He said that some things should be put forward as early as possible, but it’s not because I am in a hurry, time is really not forgiving, and Huan Huan is actually not young..."

"Auntie!" Xie Ling Jiang Xing's eyes widened and she was so anxious that she pulled Xie Xue'e's sleeves.

Seeing that her beloved niece seemed to be angry, Xie Xue'e immediately shut up, turned to look at Ouyang Rong's expression, and asked seriously:

"Master Ouyang, why don't you say anything? By the way, I just came back, and I looked at you with an expression that I couldn't explain... Why, in Xunyang City, is there someone who is not smart and dares to bully my senior brother Huan Huan?

"Let me tell you, did I see you being demoted one night and did I say something rude or add insult to injury to you?"

Ouyang Rong shook his head: "No."

Xie Xue'e was curious: "Why is that..."

"aunt."

She heard a woman's clear voice next to her.

Xie Xue'e turned around and saw that Xie Lingjiang's pretty face looked surprisingly serious, and asked her:

"You have always cared about official positions and gains and losses, but have you ever thought that what senior brother cares about most may not be promotion or demotion, but that the Xunyang Grottoes were stopped and moved to Xingzifang by the villain?"

Xie Xue'e was slightly startled, then turned to look at Ouyang Rong: "Is Mr. Ouyang depressed because of this matter?"

Ouyang Rong remained silent and lowered his head to pour tea for Xie Xun and Xie Xue'e.

Xie Xue'e muttered: "Isn't it just a giant Buddha? It doesn't look the same wherever it is built. Could it be that Mr. Ouyang created emotions by creating the statue in Xunyang Grottoes..."

Xie Xun, who had been listening, suddenly interrupted:

"Actually, I can understand and appreciate Lianghan."

Xie Xue'e glared at him:

"Brother, please don't lead the potential juniors astray. As elders, we should think more about the future of our juniors."

Xie Xun shook his head: "My sister is wrong..."

"snort."

The two brothers and sisters, who were born in the Xie family of Chen County, started to quarrel. As a junior disciple, Ouyang Rong had nothing to say, so he took the initiative to speak and changed the topic, so everyone tacitly agreed not to mention the matter again...

Ouyang Rong and Xie Xun continued to reminisce about old times and chatted freely about some current affairs of the dynasty.

Xie Lingjiang and Xie Xue'e looked at each other.

The latter smiled slightly and did not interrupt the men's chat. He went to find Zhen Shuyuan, who was also a woman, and started chatting casually.

Xie Lingjiang turned around and saw that his senior brother was chatting with his father. His eyes were full of smiles. It was rare today that he could not suppress his happiness.

She recalled with some confusion that the last time her senior brother and her father were like this, it was when the senior brother was seriously injured and recuperating in Dagushan Mountain, and her father took her there to see him. It was also that time when she and her senior brother met for the first time.

Xie Lingjiang rested his chin on his hands, with a smile on his face.

Quietly watching the two men who are most important to my heart chatting and laughing, they are both teachers and friends, and I feel that it would be great if life could stay at this moment forever...

Apart from Ouyang Rong, the happiest person today is actually Zhen Shuyuan.

Brother and sister Xie Xun and Xie Xue'e, half of the in-laws, came to visit and brought Huan Huan with them, which was almost equivalent to meeting the parents at once.

The beautiful woman in the skirt was smiling from ear to ear, busy with arrangements for the dinner.

In the yard, after drinking tea for a while, the tea set was removed and the wine began to boil.

Ouyang Rong and Xie Xun sat across from each other and drank alone.

The other female relatives are not idle either.

Xie Xue'e went to talk to Zhen Shuyuan, and at the same time walked around the back house managed by Zhen Shuyuan, looking left and right, and complimenting her from time to time, which made Zhen Shuyuan happy.

Women still understand women.

Xie Lingjiang and Ye Weilai played chess in a corner of the yard.

Xie Lingjiang was dressed in blue and white male attire today.

Ye Weilai wore a goose-yellow skirt, giving her the temperament of a boudoir lady.

Xie Lingjiang's expression was casual, with dark spots on his face from time to time, or he would turn his head to look at his senior brother and his father.

Ye Weilai was sitting upright, with a small face that was surprisingly serious about playing chess. The flawless white chess pieces in her hands made her long silver hair look a bit silver-grey.

Waiting maids, birds, and sparrows looked on curiously.

Cook wine on a small red clay stove.

A few pairs of red-sleeved jade hands add to the fragrance.

Three or two noble men drank together.

There is also a game of chess between beauties.

It's so hot in the backyard.

Although there is an undercurrent surging in Xunyang City, some kind of big change that will affect the whole city is brewing.

But this Huaiye Lane mansion is a peaceful and gentle place.

Except for Ye Weilai, who is half of Tanlang's mind, Zhen Shuyuan, Banxi and other female family members can't figure out why Tanlang is so silent these days and has difficulty showing interest in everything. He sits in the courtyard after dinner every day,

He also liked to look at a branch with fallen leaves outside the green tiles and red wall.

Even when measuring the size of his winter coat a few days ago, I found that his "belts are getting wider."

All the female relatives knew that their Tan Lang refused to obey the imperial edict at Xunyang Ferry last time.

I also know that Tanlang has now been demoted and demoted to Jiangzhou Sima.

But other than the fact that the female family members worship him Tanlang more and more, he doesn't have many other thoughts.

In their opinion, if he can resist and disobey orders, he can still avoid being beheaded. Even the current empress has nothing to do with him, and is reluctant to kill this world-famous direct minister.

This is already a great skill and honor.

No, now the whole Xunyang City is talking about this matter. I don’t know how many scholars from Jiangnan came here to see Ouyang Lianghan. According to them, not only Jiangnan, but also scholars from all over the world are spreading the word "Death"

Do not follow the "Yang Liang Han" reputation.

As for being demoted by the imperial court... can this be worse than the exile situation when he was demoted from the capital to the remote Dragon City and almost ruined his future in the eyes of the world?

In other words, for a gentleman like Ouyang Rong, who is famous all over the world and is recognized as a direct minister by the entire dynasty, being demoted and punished, as long as he does not die, is a new glory.

In fact, to put it more deeply, the harder the world becomes, the more people in the world need such an image of an empress who is not afraid of power and is strong-willed.

This is actually the reason why Ouyang Rong caused so much trouble every time he spoke out.

To put it bluntly, His Majesty, who has been suffering from the world for a long time, can make her a little unhappy when she goes her own way. Many people in the government and the public secretly praise her.

Of course, I’ll support you if you fuck, but I won’t if I fuck.

As a result, Ouyang Lianghan is a good person, and he really takes care of things. Naturally, everyone has some affection and respect for him...

Compared with the great reputation they have won and the admiration from people all over the world, Zhen Shuyuan and other female relatives naturally do not think that being demoted is such a devastating thing.

And you see, Xinjiang Governor Shi Yuanhuaimin still tries his best to come to the Huaiye Lane residence to have a meal every day.

Could it be that the food at the Huaiye Lane residence is particularly delicious? Not necessarily, the important thing is that Tanlang is here.

Moreover, in the past few days, Zhen Shuyuan saw that Yuan Huaimin had been promoted to an official position and was regarded as a big shot in the state. She reluctantly nodded and allowed him to come twice every three days to have a meal...

The same goes for my hometown in Nanlong. The Ouyang family letters sent by fellow clan members and elders of the same clan are all comforting and encouraging Ouyang Rong, and at the same time praising him for being the character of his clan. There is pride in every word.

all in all.

Although they often don’t understand what their Tan Lang is thinking, the women in Huaiye Lane Mansion generally have good advantages:

They will never deny what Tan Lang has done, no matter whether he is demoted or not. In other words, Ye Weila and a small number of women admire and admire Tan Lang and feel that whatever Tan Lang does is right!

In the courtyard, there is an open space with a tea table.

The sudden appearance of his mentor made Ouyang Rong unable to help but drink a few more glasses of wine.

He usually doesn't drink when he's alone.

Unless you're with friends.
