Chapter 653 I am really not an orthopedic surgeon! [Please vote for me in September, there will be a monthly ticket lottery!]
At dusk, Xieyang Ancient Temple.
In a yard full of messes.
The stone table and its surroundings have been cleaned up, and there are several plates of side dishes and white porridge sent from the Zhaiyuan on the table.
However, the monk from Chengtian Temple who delivered the vegetarian meal put down the food box at the door and left in a hurry, not daring to stay or take another look.
At the table, the atmosphere fell into silence.
Ouyang Rong and Yuan Huaimin sat face to face, neither speaking.
The latter's nose was bruised and his face was swollen, but he was sitting upright, but occasionally he would help his waist and secretly take a breath of cold air.
There was an evil star sitting next to him, looking at him eagerly.
Since Ouyang Rong met Yuan Huaimin, he had never seen him so honest and amiable.
Compared with the past when Ouyang Rong controlled him forcefully, he was still more honest.
The two of them are considered friends and superiors. They can still joke around in private. It's not a matter of principle. Occasionally, they can take time off to fish.
At this moment, Yuan Huaimin seemed to have... encountered a natural enemy.
Everything about him embodies the word coward.
At the table, a bowl of white porridge was placed in front of each of the three people.
Li Yu, the fat man, didn't come over to eat dinner. He wasn't hungry. He was squatting on a stone floor in the courtyard that was full of broken branches and broken sticks. He lowered his head in a low mood and searched for the surviving straight sticks and special branches.
No wonder I have no appetite for food.
When gods fight, mortals suffer.
Yi Qianqiu was dressed in a strong suit, with an impatient expression on his face. He crossed his arms and sat at the table.
The whip, which can whip a person as well as a horse, lay quietly next to her porridge bowl.
Yi Qianqiu glanced at Yuan Huaimin's roommate who liked weird things.
At this time, a porridge bowl reached out from the side and poured a little more porridge into her porridge bowl.
"Qiu Niang calm down, I'm sorry, there is no big fish or meat in this Jiangnan temple. We only have some gruel and pickled radishes. I remember Qiu Niang has a big appetite..."
"roll."
Yi Qianqiu said one word without looking at him.
Yuan Huaimin swallowed his words and retracted his hand obediently.
He turned back with a sad look on his face, and looked at Ouyang Rong who was looking at him curiously.
"Qiuniang is my cousin." He whispered softly.
"Cousin?" Ouyang Rong reacted and asked curiously: "You also have different surnames, one is Yi and the other is Yuan."
"Changed my name."
"Change your name?" Ouyang Rong asked curiously: "Isn't the surname Yuan bad? What surname should I change?"
"Just change it if she wants. It was originally changed from the Tuoba clan, so why does it matter if she changes it to another one?" Yuan Huaimin scratched his head, but his attitude was open-minded, and he continued:
"I was born in the Chang'an Dafang of the Jingzhaoyuan family, and Qiuniang was born in the fifth family. She lived in Yizhou on the border for a long time. She is the daughter of the seventh uncle of our clan. The seventh uncle is very powerful. When the second emperor of Emperor Gaozong came to the court,
, he has already been promoted to the governor of Yizhou, and he can be regarded as a prominent figure in the Fifth House and even our Jingzhao Yuan clan.
"When I was a child, Uncle Qi often brought Qiuniang over when he returned to Beijing to report on his duties. Every time he stayed at my house. The house was very close to the courtyard where I studied. We got to know each other as we went back and forth. We and Qiuniang were... kind of...
My childhood playmate."
He didn't dare to look at the gaze from his "cousin" next to him.
Yi Qianqiu suddenly grabbed the porridge bowl in front of him and sprinkled it on the ground next to him.
Yuan Huaimin's eyes widened, sometimes looking at the white porridge on the ground with distress, and sometimes staring at Yi Qianqiu with a cold face:
"Qiu Niang, what are you..."
"If you're not hungry, don't eat. You're just eating like a pig."
After saying this with a sneer, she stretched out her hand to snatch away Yuan Huaimin's porridge bowl and sprinkle it on the ground.
"You... why are you so rude? You just smashed things and wasted food... There are outsiders here... Hey, you are still like this, so uncivilized..."
Yuan Huaimin indeed had a bruised nose and a swollen face that looked like a pig's head, but this pig's head held his neck and scolded him a few times.
Seeing Yi Qianqiu reaching out.
He hurriedly bent down and hugged the bowl, guarding the mouthful of rice with all his strength, and fought with her hand on the edge of the bowl, trying to resist stubbornly.
"What kind of playmate? It sounds like we are childhood sweethearts. It turns out that Commander Yi has such a good relationship with you."
Ouyang Rong suddenly spoke and chuckled.
He turned around and persuaded Yuan Huaimin:
"Look at it this way, you are really a pair of enemies. Brother Huaimin, Commander Yi came to Xunyang and visited you immediately. He was enthusiastic and excited when he met. He accidentally broke some bottles and cans. This is normal. They all say that they are guests from afar.
, not to mention that we are still childhood sweethearts, and we are here as guests. We can hold candles and talk at night, or lie down with our feet together. You are also a man, don't be too stingy."
"What's wrong?"
Yuan Huaimin's swollen face turned red again, like pig liver:
"Brother Lianghan, do you call this a little bit of jars? This is not a stingy or grandiose thing."
Yi Qianqiu sneered "ha":
"Shit, my childhood sweetheart. I didn't stab him to death with a bamboo stick when I was a child. I guess he's lucky. Can we talk to him at night by candlelight? Is he worthy? He's chirping in my ear like a mother-in-law."
The two spoke almost at the same time and looked at each other.
Yi Qianqiu was holding the rim of Yuan Huaimin's porridge bowl with one hand. Yuan Huaimin was holding the porridge bowl in his arms with his waist bent.
She pulled hard, and Yuan Huaimin took a step forward, but couldn't pull it out, so she simply laughed and pushed forward. Yuan Huaimin, who was pulling his rice bowl back, didn't react for a moment, and his body
Staggered back.
Judging from the stunned expression on his face, which gradually became filled with grief and indignation, we could tell that it was the porridge that had spilled all over his chest.
Yi Qianqiu suddenly withdrew his hand and patted the dust with both palms.
Looking at the deflated and angry Yuan Huaimin in front of her, she had a tiger-like face with a slightly proud look on her face.
Out of the corner of his eye, Ouyang Rong caught a glimpse of the two people's expressions, withdrew his gaze, handed out his bowl of porridge, and gave it to Yuan Huaimin:
"It's okay, just eat my bowl."
Yi Qianqiu glanced sideways at Ouyang Rong.
Yuan Huaimin was really sulky. He lowered his head and didn't wipe the rice from his arms. He took the bowl of porridge from Ouyang Rong and drank it without saying a word.
Yi Qianqiu didn't move either. He picked up the original copy of "The Story of Peach Blossom Spring" on the side and looked at it quietly.
However, the way she raised her hand made the "sulky" Yuan Huaimin mistakenly think that she was holding a whip.
Yuan Huaimin pushed the porridge bowl in front of Yi Qianqiu like a conditioned reflex.
Ouyang Rong:......
Yi Qianqiu:......?
Even though he had come to some conclusions about the relationship between the two, Ouyang Rong was still speechless.
This is too cowardly.
He was suppressed to the point of being suppressed by his bloodline.
"Get away from your stinky bowl."
Yi Qianqiu brushed the porridge bowl in front of him back, but with this wave, the porridge was not spilled at all and returned to Yuan Huaimin intact.
She asked:
"You feel energetic as soon as you finish the meal. You were whipped a few times just now, and your voice is quite loud when you howl like ghosts and wolves. Your health is not bad. Why did you ask for leave today?
"How dare you ask for leave when I'm here? You're tired of living, aren't you?"
Yuan Huaimin lowered his head and said sadly: "I didn't know you were coming over."
"Didn't you read the edict issued to Jiangzhou?"
"If I didn't take a closer look, I would just be idle..."
Yi Qianqiu asked sternly: "The governor of Jiang is a sinecure? Why did Ouyang Lianghan's reputation spread to Luoyang when he was the governor, but as soon as you became the governor, you became a sinecure and couldn't do anything for a long time? Really? waste."
Yuan Huaimin did not raise his head:
"You've already said I'm a waste, and you know it well, so why are you saying so much?"
Yi Qianqiu scolded him again: "Trash."
Yuan Huaimin said nothing, but ate with gusto.
"I said you were fat and you still had asthma?"
Yuan Huaimin held the bowl of porridge, turned his back to her, and lowered his head to eat.
Yi Qianqiu stretched out his hand to grab the whip.
Ouyang Rong quickly started arguing:
"Wait a minute, actually... It's really inconvenient for Brother Huaimin to go there today. When I rushed to the Jiangzhou lobby, I asked him to borrow some clothes. He didn't have any formal clothes to wear, so he simply came back without going to pick you up."
Li Yu, who was picking up branches at the side, couldn't stand this lame excuse anymore and couldn't help but turn around.
Yi Qianqiu said nothing, staring at the authentic scroll of "The Story of Peach Blossom Spring" next to him.
Ouyang Rong had a sudden idea and asked:
"Did you two have any engagement?"
The atmosphere was quiet for a while.
After about three breaths, Yuan Huaimin shook his head vigorously, but he was still swallowing food and had no time to speak.
Yi Qianqiu has already spoken for him:
"It was a joke appointment between the elders when I was young. Even if it wasn't a joke, it couldn't come true because he was such a loser that I didn't even bother to talk to him. Later, my disgusting mother's surname was changed. After so many years, I have relaxed a little. One thing, if Governor Ouyang asks more questions, I will be disgusted, but don’t blame me for not knowing how to treat guests."
Her expression was solemn and her tone was warning.
Yuan Huaimin also added with a serious face:
"That's pretty much what it means. Besides, we are cousins. How can we enter into a marriage contract? It is not in line with the ethics of saints and Confucian etiquette. It is absolutely forbidden. This kind of thing was done in the Northern Wei Dynasty. The predecessor Tuoba clan still belonged to the Yi tribe and had not yet been fully civilized.
, it did happen that emperors married blood sisters, but now we are in the Zhou Dynasty, how can we go back!
"What Qiuniang just said was rude or not, and she was quite right. Brother Lianghan, this matter must not be joked about. Don't mention it again."
"Okay, I'm fine. I'm full."
Ouyang Rong looked at these two people who sounded serious, immediately stood up, walked towards the door, patted his butt and left.
If it is really not possible at all, then why did the elders of the clan make this joke marriage contract in the first place? In other words, can the marriage contract be a joke?
Ouyang Rong secretly shook his head. He had no intention of breaking the news or continuing to explore, so he chose to leave:
"You guys go ahead and eat. Well, I'll leave first. Since Commander Yi is here, you two haven't seen each other for many years. Let's get to know each other well. As for your clothes, I'll give you clean clothes next time we meet."
Yuan Huaimin looked reluctant to leave. Ouyang Rong strode out of the courtyard without looking at him, with a faint smile on his face. Before going out, he stopped and turned around to greet Li Yu:
"I suddenly remembered something. Come out and I'll tell you. In addition, you can stay at my place tonight..."
"Oh, okay."
Li Yu looked confused and was still in grief over the destruction of the special branch, and followed Ouyang Rong away.
After the two left.
Only Yi Qianqiu and Yuan Huaimin were left in the courtyard.
"You have a good relationship with Ouyang Lianghan?"
Yi Qianqiu suddenly asked.
"Yes, close friend."
"Did you know that he has robbed you of your right to be the governor of Jiangxi Province?"
"Those who are able work hard."
"Oh, you are quite generous."
"What exactly does Qiu Niang want to say?"
"I later became a bachelor of Xiuwen Guan. As for you, you moved from Jiangzhou Sima to Jiangzhou Governor, and you are still a false position with no real power. You are really useless."
"Qiu Niang, stop scolding me. This back-and-forth sentence is actually not that scary after hearing it too many times."
"A dead pig is not afraid of boiling water!"
Yuan Huaimin was surprised: "Qiu Niang can still rhyme? Do you want to take the exam..."
"What's the test?" Yi Qianqiu asked with a frown.
"It's okay, I said it smoothly."
Yi Qianqiu stood up suddenly, walked over, and closed the door.
He returned to the table, did not sit down, stood in front of Yuan Huaimin, and threw "The Story of Peach Blossom Spring" on the table.
She took a deep breath, pointed at the scroll and said word by word:
"You are very generous. You give away everything at home. Do you know that you almost got into trouble this time? As long as someone files a lawsuit against you, not only will you be killed, but the entire Jingzhao Yuan clan will also be implicated.
, even dragging down dad and me.
"My father and I have worked hard in the court these years, but what about you? You sit back and enjoy wealth all day long."
Yuan Huaimin lowered his head to eat and remained silent.
After a while, he said hoarsely:
"I know that I am prone to getting into trouble, just like I did back then, so I have been honest in Jiangzhou these years, not fighting or grabbing, and I really don't want to cause you any trouble.
"This scroll was given to Mr. Wu before. I was ignorant at that time, and I didn't know that it would have such a serious impact on you today."
After a pause, he changed the topic:
"Is it dangerous for Qiuniang to come this time? I heard from Liang Han that those thieves are very powerful. Even Rong Nvshi asked the court for help."
Yi Qianqiu suddenly asked:
"What does it have to do with you? What's the use of caring? I told you, can you be of any use?"
Yuan Huaimin stopped talking.
The atmosphere became quiet.
Yi Qianqiu asked: "You don't refute at all and don't want to scold me?"
Yuan Huaimin shook his head: "I don't scold Qiuniang, and I don't know how to scold others."
She sneered: "That's why everyone bullies you and treats you as a fool! You think you have many friends and you think you are dignified and have face. In fact, people just think you are stupid and easy to cheat. If you become a friend, you can get a lot of good things.
Of course people are willing to be friends with you.
"Isn't that what Ouyang Lianghan was like just now? You don't have to guess. Other colleagues in the Jiangzhou officialdom are also like this. You are secretly proud that you are a good man. Well, you are really a good boy."
Yi Qianqiu smiled and praised.
Yuan Huaimin shook his head:
"I don't know about other people. Brother Lianghan is not like this. He really treats me as a friend. He is very capable. He is a person who combines knowledge and action. He is energetic every day, but he is never condescending. He is still willing to take care of me.
, just like you, Qiuniang, you really want me, and you can’t fake it, it’s just that I’m too lazy and don’t live up to expectations.”
Yi Qianqiu nodded calmly: "Oh, he is just like Mr. Wu, right? You also said that he is both a teacher and a friend."
Yuan Huaimin nodded lightly:
"It's almost the same, but it won't hurt me. I'm sure of that, and I'm not stupid either.
"It's just that Mr. Wu has a lot of things on his mind. He seems to often think about things that are difficult for ordinary people to understand. In the later period, this messy mind affected his superb painting skills.
"Brother Lianghan is much better. His thoughts are clear and he has the legacy of the ancient gentlemen, but he also has some indescribable temperament. This has the style of a new type of gentleman that I have never seen before. I am a stupid person.
He is easily depressed and internally consumed, but he is not internally internalized, his mood is stable, and he can also enlighten me in turn. In other words, I am consuming his emotions. This is a true best friend."
Yi Qianqiu calmed down and stared at his head, which was engrossed in eating and mumbling.
After a while, she suddenly asked: "Okay, since Ouyang Lianghan didn't bully you, has anyone in Jiangzhou ever bullied you?"
"No...no, there were some people who gave me a dirty look in the past, but since last year, with good officials here, no one has done anything excessive to me, and the atmosphere in the yamen is also quite good." Yuan Huaimin
I smiled, feeling very contented.
"As for Lianghan's aunt, although she says she dislikes me, she never chases me away every time I go back for lunch. This is a bit like Qiuniang, both of them have a sharp mouth and a heart... By the way, Qiuniang cares.
What's the point of this? You must never show your temper to outsiders..."
"Shut your mother's head off!" Yi Qianqiu cursed and turned his head, not looking at him.
After a while, she picked up the original "Peach Blossom Spring" that had been re-arranged and played with it. She looked north and spoke word by word:
"Yuan Huaimin, I came here today to ask you, do you want to go back to Guanzhong and Chang'an?"
Yuan Huaimin paused for a moment with his rice bowl in his hands.
