Ali was not surprised that a new sachet appeared on his son's body.
For example, right now, he saw a goose-yellow sachet hanging on the young master's waist. In addition to the orange-red sachet and lotus-white sachet that appeared during the day, three sachets had appeared in just one day.
Ali pretended not to see it.
The carriage stopped at the back door of Prince Xunyang's Mansion, and Ouyang Rong and Xie Lingjiang entered.
Xie Lingjiang dressed simply as a man and stayed with him for a day. He said goodbye to his elder brother and returned to the boudoir in the palace, where he changed into a ruqi and attended dinner.
Before the two parted ways at the gallery, Ouyang Rong suddenly took out a lotus-white sachet and tied it around her slender waist.
It was the sachet she gave to Ouyang Rong.
"What does Senior Brother do?"
"Wear it obediently and treat it as a gift from me."
"You gave it to me?"
Ouyang Rong blinked and patted the goose-yellow sachet on his waist:
"It's a gift from Dalang. The customs are different. You don't want to wear it. I'll go over to dinner later and you won't wear anything. Wouldn't it be awkward during the dinner?"
"Wear this as a gift from me. I bumped into you today. I'm sure Dalang and the others will understand."
"also."
Under the lantern, the slim girl Xie, with a sachet tied to her waist, turned around and smiled lightly at him:
"Elder brother is still considerate."
Ouyang Rong waved his hands calmly.
Wait for the little junior sister's back to disappear temporarily.
He couldn't help raising his hand and wiping the sweat from his forehead.
Ouyang Rong touched his arms.
At present, except for the orange sachet given by Rong Zhen hidden in the sword case under the carriage seat.
He now has two goose-yellow sachets on his body.
Ouyang Rong made an excuse to take the one that the junior sister didn't want to wear, but Xie Lingjiang didn't care and left it with him.
While the junior sister was changing clothes and dinner hadn't started yet, Ouyang Rong turned around and ran away, rushing to Juxian Garden without stopping.
On the way, he did not forget to take a look at the goose-yellow sachet on his waist.
Above is a simple pattern of mountains and flowing water.
It is the same as the orange-red sachet given by Rong Zhen. The embroidery skills may not be very good, but it is very clever and clever, and knows how to use its strengths and avoid weaknesses.
Moreover, this sachet also implies some unique style. It is filled with a mysterious spice from the Western Regions. The unique musk and agarwood are intertwined, giving off an atmosphere that is both elegant and charming.
To be honest, although it was not as rich and luxurious as the lotus white sachet given by my junior sister, it was surprisingly in line with Ouyang Rong's taste.
If we exclude subjective emotions and only talk about personal preference, Ouyang Rong would still prefer to wear this one.
As soon as he arrived at Juxian Garden, Ouyang Rong met Li Dalang who was getting ready to go out.
"Ahem, you're so polite, Mr. Why are you waiting outside? You've been waiting for a long time. Here, return the sachet to you."
He immediately took out the goose-yellow sachet from his arms and handed it over, blinking and saying.
Li Dalang glared at him first, then sighed and took the goose-yellow sachet given by his sister, but did not put it on immediately, but handed it to the maids who were serving them.
The maid put away the goose-yellow sachet, took out a purple sachet that was unfamiliar to Ouyang Rong from the tray next to it, put it on the waist of a certain Prince Xunyang, and arranged his clothes.
Ouyang Rong couldn't help but asked curiously:
"Don't wear the one your sister gave you? Who gave this one to you?"
Li Dalang shrugged:
"Tonight's family dinner, my mother also invited Miss Qin to come over. She forwarded this. I have to wear it to attend the family dinner. It's my mother's responsibility."
"Miss Qin?"
Ouyang Rong was speechless and looked at Li Dalang.
He couldn't help but patted his friend on the shoulder:
"Dalang, there are quite a lot of sachets today...it's hard for you too."
There was sympathy in his mouth, but Ouyang Rong did not pause in his movements, and smoothly and smoothly put back the extra goose-yellow sachet.
After all, I have to return it to my junior sister.
After today's exercise, someone's ability to manage sachets has reached a state of perfection.
Li Dalang didn't care at all, but looked curiously at the goose-yellow sachet tied around his friend's waist:
"What is Tanlang going to do with the sachet my sister gave me yesterday?
"By the way, Miss Xie didn't give you a tanlang sachet today? Are you wearing Amei's today? Miss Xie didn't tell you?"
Ouyang Rong had a straight face and a serious tone:
"My junior sister is different from my aunt. They are gentle and generous. How can they be women with small bellies?"
As soon as I heard it, I felt that my moral character was perfect.
Li Dalang leaned back slightly, then looked behind him and saw only an empty corridor.
Li Dalang looked around, and then looked back behind him.
Miss Xie was still nowhere to be seen.
Li Dalang was full of admiration:
"Miss Xie is not here yet, and Tan Lang still says such beautiful things. It's really...too alarming."
Ouyang Rong looked unwavering and asked:
"I don't understand what Dalang is talking about."
"Okay, Tan Lang is right." After a pause, Li Dalang turned around and dismissed the serving maids. He leaned his head closer and asked quietly:
"Tan Lang teaches me how to deal with these propositions. Please tell me more. If you like to listen, maybe you can use it."
Ouyang Rong glanced at Li Dalang who wanted to make progress too much, and shook his head:
"No, you can't use it."
After giving up, Ouyang Rong left with his hands behind his back.
"And how can you easily spread your ability to make a living?"
Li Dalang's eyes were filled with envy. It would be great if he also had the adaptability of his best friend. How could he be manipulated like this by his mother, sister and blind date...
Not long after, the two of them went to the back house to have a meal.
Tonight's family dinner was held in an open-air pavilion.
In addition to Li Xian and Li Guo'er's family, there are also three outsiders: Ouyang Rong, Xie Lingjiang and Miss Qin.
Seven people in total.
This is Miss Qin’s first time coming to the palace for dinner.
Although in name, she only accepted the invitation from Li Guo'er and Xie Lingjiang, and she was not the betrothed princess.
But it can also clearly show that the relationship between the Xunyang Prince's Palace and the Qin family has gone further.
Therefore, King Xunyang’s family paid special attention to this matter.
For example, Princess Wei Mei always surrounded Miss Qin during the dinner, asking questions.
Li Dalang was immersed in cooking.
Working hard with him was Ouyang Rong.
Qin Ying responded generously to Li Xian and Wei Mei's questions.
Although he was a little unloyal, Ouyang Rong, who returned to the realm of little transparency tonight, did feel a little lucky in his heart.
Fortunately, Li Dalang was there to share the firepower, otherwise he would have been the protagonist.
After sitting down at the table, Li Baoer glanced at the goose-yellow sachet worn on Ouyang Rong's waist from time to time.
Then he looked at Ouyang Rong, who was calmly doing his work.
Her expression was as usual, and her mood could not be seen, but at a certain moment she glanced sideways and glanced at Xie's sister.
Sister Xie was having a meal in Xianshu, and she didn't talk much during the dinner. She only occasionally helped Miss Qin with a few words, and spent most of her time picking up food for Ouyang Lianghan.
Seemingly noticing her gaze at this moment, Xie Lingjiang raised his head and responded with a smile, as if he didn't mind at all.
Li Guo'er also curved the corners of his mouth politely.
But I felt strange in my heart.
Then, remembering something, she glanced at the lotus-white sachet on Xie Lingjiang's waist.
The eyebrows that were originally calm as usual were slightly frowned.
Li Guoer looked at Ouyang Rong, the cook.
The hand that was about to pick up the food stopped, put down the chopsticks, picked up the small glass of rice wine made by my grandmother and took a sip.
"What's wrong with Bao'er? I'm drinking alone. Is the food not delicious? That plate is not salty. Could it be that I put too much salt in it?"
Wei Mei, who was looking at her future daughter-in-law with a smile, saw her from the corner of her eye, turned around and asked with concern.
"No, I just have a bad appetite. I don't have much appetite."
Li Bao'er shook his head.
"That's good, come on, come on, Tanlang, Dalang, you can eat as much as you like."
Wei Mei picked up a few chopsticks for Ouyang Rong and Li Dalang, who were looking intently at the side and focused on cooking, and looked at them with a smile.
An hour later, the family dinner ended.
Everyone said goodbye with some reluctance.
During the second half of the family banquet, because Ouyang Rong was famous for being able to drink a thousand cups, he was taken away by Li Xian and Li Dalang drank some wine.
Seems a little dizzy.
On the corridor, Xie Lingjiang held Ouyang Rong's arm, and the two of them, together with Li Dalang and Miss Qin, walked for a while on the garden path next to them.
After a while, Li Dalang said goodbye and left.
Because Miss Qin and Xie Lingjiang were traveling together.
So we happened to take the Ouyang Rong carriage together and return to Jingyiting.
The three of them walked towards the back door.
Xie Lingjiang always paid attention to the wine-red face of the senior brother. Seeing that he had not completely sobered up, he turned around and asked Qin Ying to take care of him. She walked to the stable not far away by herself and boarded the car to get something to sober up. Before
Always ready.
Qin Ying asked with concern:
"Is Mr. Ouyang okay?"
"Thousands...how can anything happen if you don't pour a thousand cups?"
"Mr. Ouyang, you are going the wrong way." She pointed.
"..."
After a while, Qin Ying glanced at the sachet tied around Ouyang Rong's waist:
"Thank you sister for the embroidery?"
Ouyang Rong was noncommittal and asked drunkenly:
"The sachet that Mr. Qin is wearing today was probably made by Mrs. Qin. It's very beautiful."
"Young Master Ouyang also likes it?"
She asked suddenly, putting her hands into her sleeves.
Ouyang Rong was just about to praise him when suddenly, Xie Lingjiang came down from the carriage.
She held up something in her hand and asked calmly:
"Excuse me, Tanlang, whose sister's sachet is this? Why is it hidden so deep?"
Ouyang Rong suddenly sobered up.
Taking a closer look, it was Rong Zhen's orange-red sachet.
I saw that a certain sword box seemed to be opened in the carriage behind the junior sister.
"This sachet smells quite good, the cinnamon is subtle and elegant, and the pattern on it is quite thoughtful. Which sister embroidered it?"
Xie Lingjiang's tone was obviously ordinary, even a little curious.
But after Ouyang Rong heard this, he froze in place.
My forehead was sweating and I didn't dare to move even half a step.
Qin Ying next to him couldn't help but turn his head and look at him.
"Little, little junior sister, what is this."
Ouyang Rong scratched his head curiously and asked drunkenly.
"Sir, have you sobered up? If you haven't, let's drink the sobering soup first. If you look closer, you might be able to recognize it."
Under Xie Lingjiang's calm gaze.
The sound of wooden fish was ringing in Ouyang Rong's ears.
Merit minus one, merit minus one, merit minus one...
He swallowed, as if he sensed something, and looked sideways at the car behind Xie Lingjiang.
There's a little mole!
betrayed him.
When the junior sister entered the carriage, the box body shook to attract her attention.
Ouyang Rong was just drunk and didn't notice this subtle sensation in a short period of time.
"This...this is..."
Xie Ling Jiang lowered his eyes and shook his head: "Okay, senior brother, please get in the car first and send Sister Qin back..."
Qin Ying suddenly said:
"Thank you sister, do you like it? Then sister, I will give you one another day."
"What's the meaning?"
Xie Lingjiang frowned and turned to look with the stunned Ouyang Rong.
Qin Ying did not look at the wide-eyed Ouyang Rong.
She whispered:
"This sachet... I gave it to Mr. Ouyang. I asked Dalang to give it to me as a gift."
The air in front of the carriage was silent.
Xie Lingjiang glanced at her more.
Ouyang Rong couldn't help but turn his head.
Qin Ying did not look at Ouyang Rong, smiled slightly, explained a few words to Xie Lingjiang, and then said to Ouyang Rong:
"Mr. Ouyang, let me tell you why you hid it. I thought you would tell Sister Xie. And if you don't tell me, I will tell you."
Ouyang Rong hurriedly cooperated and explained.
After a while, Xie Lingjiang's expression softened slightly.
On the carriage back, the atmosphere was somewhat silent. The two of them saw Qin Ying off first.
Xie Lingjiang did not follow Qin Ying back to Jingyiting. The latter did not say much and apologized, but Xie Lingjiang hurriedly stopped him.
Xie Lingjiang continued to stare at the carriage and sat with Ouyang Rong for a while.
In the carriage, Ouyang Rong sat in an honest posture.
"Let's go ahead and explain the matter."
"Hand, tell me what, isn't the thing in the hands of my junior sister?"
"Do you have any others?"
"No more! Really no more."
"This is a gift from the Qin family's sister. Why are you hiding it?"
Ouyang Rong looked serious and scratched his head: "Mainly because I'm afraid..."
Xie Lingjiang asked again: "When did you send it?"
"Didn't Da Lang send two sachets over this morning? He sent them together at the time. I hid them as soon as I thought."
"First reaction? It's not the first time. It's already instinctive. Have you had anything similar before?"
"That's wrong." Ouyang Rong corrected him sternly: "It was precisely because of this first time that I had this first reaction..."
Xie Lingjiang interrupted: "Elder brother, do you think everyone likes you?"
"Little junior sister, I'm overthinking it, mainly because it's better to do less than to do more." Ouyang Rong apologized a little.
Xie Lingjiang paused and nodded: "Not necessarily."
"ah?"
Xie Lingjiang fell silent.
After a while, he suddenly boasted:
"There's no smell at all, but you know how to hide it."
"The sword box is right next to it, isn't it convenient..."
"Elder brother, am I such a jealous person?" she asked.
Ouyang Rong wanted to say yes, but when he saw Xie Lingjiang's eyes, he shook his head resolutely.
Xie Lingjiang turned his head and didn't want to pay attention to him, as if he was angry.
There was silence in the carriage for a long time.
Ouyang Rong coaxed her a few words, and she asked again with a straight face:
"As long as you tell the truth, I won't be suspicious of you."
Ouyang Rong suddenly felt guilty: "Little junior sister, I understand, actually...actually..."
Xie Lingjiang suddenly held his head, leaned forward, and bit his lip with her teeth.
A smell of rust suddenly filled Ouyang Rong's mouth...
After being punished by the sharp teeth of her junior sister, she could no longer be as magnanimous as before.
Ouyang Rong swallowed his words quietly.
Xie Lingjiang pushed her away, remembered something, and asked casually:
"What did you just say?"
"It's nothing, I just want to say... In fact, junior sister is a reasonable person and never gets jealous."
