"Ouyang Lianghan, say it again."

Rong Zhen was very serious and said solemnly.

"What?"

Ouyang Rong raised his head, showing a somewhat confused expression.

Rong Zhen looked at the young man in Confucian shirt who was pretending to be dumbfounded for a while, then said:

"If you can listen to the old man's music... forget it, if you don't know him, you will regard him as a frog in a well who sees the moon in the sky; if you know him, you will regard him as a cricket in the sky."

Ouyang Rong nodded and said with a smile:

"Perhaps, I am actually not a fool. Rong Nushi wants to master this song because it is related to the defense of Xunyang Grottoes."

Rong Zhen and Ouyang Rong looked at each other for a while and nodded inconspicuously.

She lowered her eyes: "It's part of the equation, why do you ask?"

Ouyang Rong smiled:

"I always feel that this old man is not simple, and time is tight at Xunyang Grottoes. If he only just learned piano music, how could Rong Nushi waste his time on it? It's a simple reason."

Rong Zhen reacted lightly and sneered:

"Oh, I thought that you would be narcissistic and secretly think that I asked you to learn piano music for some other reasons... It seems that you are quite self-aware. Okay, very good."

Ouyang Rong was startled.

Before he could speak, Rong Zhen suddenly said:

"Since you have guessed it, let's not hide it. The old man and his music involve the core of Donglin Giant Buddha. The sooner I learn it, the better."

Ouyang Rong asked: "Is it best to learn it before the Buddha lands?"

Rong Zhen nodded silently.

Ouyang Rong asked again: "Is the special quota that I heard about before also related to it? Only when you learn this song can you be considered safe."

Rong Zhen frowned slightly and glanced at him.

After a while, he nodded slightly: "Yes."

Ouyang Rong's face became serious:

"Then what are you waiting for? Time is tight and the task is heavy. I will play it a few more times and you will listen well."

Rong Zhen suddenly asked:

"Don't ask, what is this special quota? What is the real defense of Xunyang Grottoes?"

Ouyang Rong shook his head:

"Rong Nu Shi Hui said, I have already said it. If I don't say it, I will naturally have my own reasons. I won't ask any more questions."

Rong Zhen looked at him deeply:

"Actually, I already know the piano music you taught me. It's useless no matter how many times you play the more essential things. As the old man said, it requires understanding."

Ouyang Rong said with a smile:

"If it doesn't work once, just do it several times. You will always gain something. You can't force your understanding, but we use stupid methods."

"Why are you so patient with me?"

Ouyang Rong was about to frown, but Rong Zhen immediately said:

"I can't bear that the people I teach are so stupid. I hate stupidity. However, Ouyang Lianghan, what you just said is actually not wrong. I am indeed a bit lacking in understanding the music taught by the senior."

"What on earth do Rong Nushi want to say? She wants to procrastinate and be lazy, wait for the senior downstairs' pipa performance to finish, and go back to rest, right? How can she be as lazy as Yuan Changshi?"

"Huang Miao, I'm too lazy to tell you."

Ouyang Rong smiled and continued to tune the piano and play.

Rong Zhen kept a straight face for a while, then suddenly said:

"It's not that you can't participate in the defense at Xunyang Grottoes, but you have to go through an identity check by Si Tianjian. Everyone who comes into contact with the core defense at Xunyang Grottoes needs to go through it. This is a common practice. You were not allowed to do it before.

Contacting the core of the Buddha is not aimed at you, but everyone outside Sitian Prison, and no one should know about it. This is the rule."

Ouyang Rong asked: "Is Commander Yi the same?"

"Yes. Several generals from the Xuanwu Guard and the White Tiger Guard have checked it out."

Ouyang Rong said with a smile: "You really need to check carefully."

Rong Zhen couldn't help but said: "Once again, it's not directed at you."

"I know."

Rong Zhen said again:

"Actually, there is one more thing. Regarding the date when the Giant Buddha will be built, Senior Song and I have some ideas that we don't know whether they are mature or not. It will be helpful for setting up defenses. If you have time in the next two days, come to Xunyang Grottoes and we will discuss it behind closed doors.

"

Ouyang Rong narrowed his eyes and said, "Okay, let's do it the morning after tomorrow."

"Okay, let's continue playing the piano."

Rong Zhen snorted softly, then closed his eyes and gave the order in a matter-of-fact manner.

Ouyang Rong was used to her arrogance, smiled like a spring breeze, and continued to play the piano.

…

The next day.

Ouyang Rong did not go to Xunyang Grottoes.

It was a rare break today. After finishing his work in the Jiangzhou lobby, he took the time to go to the quiet courtyard in advance to accompany the embroiderer.

"Be careful of the steps." Ouyang Rong took the little hand of Zhao Qingxiu, who was greeting him happily at the door, and walked together to the backyard. He explained warmly:

"I have to go back early in the evening to have dinner with my aunt. I haven't had dinner at home for many days, which is not good."

"Yeah." Zhao Qingxiu hugged his arm, slightly raised her head towards him, and smiled.

Arriving at the main room, Ouyang Rong saw some needlework on the table.

"What is this? A sachet?"

[So, it’s actually an amulet. I want to make one for you and Sister Xie]

Ouyang Rong remained calm:

"Thank you sister?"

Zhao Qingxiu smiled slightly and wrote:

[Don’t worry, sending out birthday gifts will not disrupt Tan Lang’s affairs in advance. By the way, one has already been made, Tan Lang can take it back]

Ouyang Rong nodded, picked up the amulet and looked at it.

It's actually a small sachet with some wishes inside.

After Ouyang Rong opened it, he took out a small piece of paper and saw four words written on it:

Never forget each other.

In addition, there is an elegant poem from the Book of Songs, which can be regarded as a blessing to lovers... Not to mention, Xiu Niang's calligraphy is indeed good, but it is indeed inconvenient to write with a blind eye. It can be seen that she has a lot of waste.

It took only a piece of paper to copy it relatively straightly.

Ouyang Rong glanced at the little junior sister's amulet that Zhao Qingxiu was still making, and pursed his lips.

"Thanks a lot."

he said softly.

Zhao Qingxiu, who was lowering her head to clear the table, paused for a moment, then continued to clear the table, shaking her head slightly from behind:

[It was Tanlang who worked so hard and wanted to bring me to my sisters with the help of my aunt’s birthday gift, but I stayed in the yard and couldn’t do anything. I felt uncomfortable]

Ouyang Rong shook his head vigorously:

"Didn't we agree before that I'll come over to Huaiye Lane, as long as you don't mind that there's a woman by my side."

Zhao Qingxiu was busy waving her hands.

[No, I’m not rejecting it, I’m just apologizing to that girl Xie]

"Sorry?" Ouyang Rongqi asked.

Zhao Qingxiu bit her lip and remained silent.

Also wrote:

[Tanlang works so hard, I won’t let him down, I, I will work hard too]

Ouyang Rong only said that the efforts she was talking about were things like amulets to please her junior sister, and comforted her a few words.

After a while, after a while of tenderness, I was ready to leave the quiet courtyard.

Before leaving, Zhao Qingxiu stuffed the amulet into his arms.

And it was not pinned to his waist.

Ouyang Rong understood and put it away silently.

…

We returned to the Huaiye Lane mansion just in time for dinner.

After eating with his aunt, Ouyang Rong returned to Yinbingzhai.

He took the sword case out of the car and took it back.

When he returned to the yard, he didn't go to the bedroom first. He went to the study.

At the table, Ouyang Rong opened the sword box, took out various items, and inspected them one by one.
To be continued...
