Chapter 672 Xie Lingjiang: I have to offer tea and change my name to sister [Please vote for me!]
"Everyone is gone, what are you looking at?"
At the entrance of the stairs, Xie Lingjiang put his hands on Ouyang Rong's waist and asked softly.
Ouyang Rong tilted his head unchanged and said nothing.
Xie Lingjiang frowned and turned around, but met Ouyang Rong's eyes.
Ouyang Rong just looked at her profile without blinking.
Xie Lingjiang couldn't help but ask:
"What...are you looking at?"
Ouyang Rong continued to watch for a while, then suddenly said:
“It’s so beautiful.”
"What's so pretty?"
"Junior sister looks so beautiful tonight."
Xie Ling Jiang Yu held one side of his face in his hands, lowered his head slightly, and said:
"Sister Guo'er decided to draw on my eyebrows and put on some makeup. I don't look good, but my makeup looks good."
Ouyang Rong shook his head:
"It's just the icing on the cake. Junior sister is the most beautiful without makeup, like hibiscus emerging from clear water."
"Smooth talk, senior brother really knows how to make the little girl happy..."
Ouyang Rong nodded solemnly: "I like to tell the truth. If you don't believe me, call Liu Lang up and ask if that's the case."
Xie Lingjiang hummed: "Liu Lang was also led astray by you."
Ouyang Rong didn't answer, moved closer and asked strangely:
"Why does it smell so good?"
"I came after taking a shower and washed my hair, so I took my time."
"Why are you washing your hair? It's easy to catch a cold at night."
"I haven't bathed in several days. I've been busy practicing recently."
"Actually, it's all the same. Junior sister can be clean even without washing."
Xie Lingjiang tried his best to suppress the corners of his lips and said coldly:
"If this is what Senior Brother said, then I will go back and still have to meditate and practice."
Ouyang Rong coughed.
Xie Lingjiang walked over and packed up the wine utensils on the table that Rong Zhen had drank from.
Ouyang Rong saw this and reacted:
"Wait a minute, I'll call someone."
"No, don't call outsiders, I'll just take care of it."
Xie Lingjiang stopped him.
Ouyang Rong looked back and saw Xie Lingjiang kneeling down beside the tea seat with a serious face and tidying up the table.
Seeing her virtuous look.
Combined with the fact that although he was deliberately looking serious, he still maintained a dignified and decent appearance, Ouyang Rong felt a little warm in his heart.
Ouyang Rong walked over and sat down next to Xie Lingjiang
"Rong Nushi only had one drink, I didn't drink it for her."
Xie Lingjiang chuckled:
"You're so drunk after just one drink?"
Ouyang Rong shook his head:
"Maybe it's allergies or other minor problems. I heard from her that drinking alcohol makes your heart beat faster."
"Does Senior Brother believe this?"
"I would rather believe that something exists than something that doesn't exist."
"Anyway, I'm mysophobic, so I won't drink the wine she drank."
"good."
Ouyang Rong nodded, not annoyed.
Xie Lingjiang looked at him sideways and saw that the senior brother was taking matters into his own hands, pouring three glasses of wine in a row. Without saying a word, he raised his head and drank.
Finished three cups.
Xie Lingjiang frowned and asked, "What are you doing?"
Ouyang Rong smiled and replied: "Toast, three drinks as penalty."
"snort."
Xie Lingjiang looked away.
She reached out to open the box in the bundle and touched the delicate wooden comb and flowers.
"This small-leaf red sandalwood is very expensive."
"It's quite expensive. My salary is gone this month, but after I saw it, I thought it was suitable for you and couldn't help but buy it."
Xie Lingjiang didn't say anything, but he lowered his head and touched the comb more gently.
Ouyang Rong, who was sitting on his knees across from him, went to pour the wine, but he quietly stood up and sat next to Xie Lingjiang.
His joining pushed her into the seat.
The latter glared at him.
"you……"
However, when the cheeky Ouyang Rong calmly hugged her waist, Xie Lingjiang became silent again and remained quiet as he hugged her into his arms.
Ouyang Rong raised a glass of wine and spoke smoothly:
"Three things.
"First, when the flowers are full and the moon is full, and the scenery is beautiful, it's time to drink together.
"Secondly, junior sister has worked hard these days, helping to take care of and accompany my aunt. Like tonight, she can still tolerate senior brother's carelessness... I deserve to be punished.
"Third, it's seven drinks today, so it's time to drink another one."
Originally, when she heard the first two things, Xie Lingjiang looked calm with her chin slightly raised, but when she heard the third thing, she immediately raised her head.
"Eldest brother is at the seventh level?"
"Um."
"When did it happen?"
"Tonight, just now, I will tell you later."
Xie Lingjiang was pleasantly surprised. Ouyang Rong had raised his head to take a sip of wine every time he said something, but she grabbed his third glass of wine with her beautiful hand and drank it all in one gulp.
"The seventh rank is a big event, so it should be celebrated."
Xie Ling Jiang smiled brightly, and clapped his hands together next to Furong's little face.
Ouyang Rong looked at her expression.
The younger junior sister is happy and proud of him from the bottom of her heart.
Ouyang Rong grabbed her palm, Xie Lingjiang leaned docilely in his arms, and the two hands they held together changed to interlocking their fingers.
One dressed in blue Confucian clothes and the other dressed in scarlet clothes, leaning against each other under the moon.
Ouyang Rong raised his interlocked palms and mobilized the spiritual energy in his Dantian. A blush flowed through the veins of his hands.
Xie Lingjiang saw it and said with a smile: "If you think about it carefully, Senior Brother's seventh grade is not slow, even too fast."
Ouyang Rong shook his head:
"These seventh grades are only considered the entry level. We have stopped for the time being and have to find the remaining incomplete sword techniques."
Xie Lingjiang was confused: "What do you mean?"
Ouyang Rong glanced at a small notebook on the table.
It was left behind by Rong Zhen just before he left. He threw it on the table and did not take it away.
Ouyang Rong took the small notebook and looked through it. On it were Qi Jue poems recorded and circled by Rong Zhen, as well as two pieces of music written in scrawled writing.
Ouyang Rong pointed at them in front of Xie Lingjiang and told the whole story of what happened tonight.
Of course, he temporarily omitted the improvement in cultivation caused by the wonderful double cultivation with the embroiderer.
The more Xie Lingjiang listened, the more surprised his expression became.
"The old musician Si Tianjian invited turned out to be a sword holder, and he also taught sword techniques. If Rong Zhen went to him, wouldn't it mean that she also wanted to learn sword techniques? Could it be that Rong Zhen wanted to be a sword holder?
?”
Ouyang Rong shook his head: "Probably not, at least not for a sword wielder like me, because she is not a ninth-grade swordsman. Unless she spreads her skills, the cost is too high. Now on the eve of the Buddha's landing, she definitely can't do this."
"Why is that?" Xie Lingjiang asked: "You also said that Rong Zhen wants to get that piece of music, that is, the sword technique, before the Buddha lands on the ground, which means that he can practice it immediately. What does she want to do?
"
Ouyang Rong pondered for a moment:
"Maybe it has something to do with the Buddha."
"Big Buddha?"
"Yes, I suspect that the Donglin Giant Buddha is involved in a certain Si Tianjian's formation. Rong Nushi's defense at Xunyang Grottoes is all related to this formation, and Jianjue and Senior Yu are also part of it."
Xie Lingjiang hesitated: "Doesn't that mean..."
Ouyang Rong suddenly asked: "Which tripod sword do you think the incomplete new sword technique tonight comes from?"
Xie Lingjiang didn't think for too long and looked at Ouyang Rong.
"Emperor Wen."
"Emperor Wen."
The two of them said almost in unison.
Xie Lingjiang analyzed: "This old musician comes from Shangyang Palace, and Emperor Wen is in Luoyang Palace. This is what Uncle Li mentioned before."
"That's right."
Ouyang Rong nodded and said:
"I remember hearing that Rong Nu Shi came to Xunyang City for a special quota."
"Special quota?"
"Well, Lin Cheng mentioned it. Of course, he might have misled me at the time, but judging from his relationship with Rong Nushi, it doesn't look like he was lying. After being together for so long, I can feel that some of Rong Nushi's words were not truthfully told.
"
Xie Lingjiang asked: "Do you not trust senior brother?"
Ouyang Rong shook his head: "No, she didn't even hide the music related to the sword technique... I think there are only two possibilities. First, it does involve Si Tianjian's confidentiality clause and cannot be leaked. Second, Rong Nushi has selfish motives.
"
"Selfish?"
Xie Lingjiang hummed lightly, turned over the pages of the book with his fingers, played with them, and said leisurely:
"It is indeed selfish."
He glanced at Ouyang Rong meaningfully.
The latter frowned: "It's not selfish."
"uh-huh."
Xie Lingjiang was noncommittal and curled his lips and said:
"Then does Senior Brother still teach her music?"
"teach."
Ouyang Rong nodded without thinking:
"I promised. But I can't guarantee whether she can understand this sword technique."
"Isn't she talented?"
"No, but I'm looking at Xuan."
"Why is this?"
"Although I don't know what the special quota is and how she will use it, Rong Nushi is obviously too impatient. Understanding the sword technique does not require being impatient."
Xie Lingjiang felt a little emotional when he saw Ouyang Rong's face.
"That's true, not everyone has a talent like Senior Brother."
She nodded slightly.
Ouyang Rong smiled sheepishly.
The two were affectionate for a while.
He suddenly spoke:
"Today I'm going to see fellow Taoist Lu to calculate our birthdays and horoscopes."
Xie Lingjiang was stunned: "What do you mean?"
Ouyang Rong kept his gaze fixed:
"When the giant Buddha is built, I guess we should leave with the palace. I promised you before that we will get engaged when we go to Luoyang due to the incident in Xunyang City."
Xie Ling Jiang Qiao blushed deeply, lowered her head and said:
"Oh, it's not a painting..."
"Of course not."
Ouyang Rong said softly: "Lu Ya said that our horoscopes are good. I will tell my aunt that your aunt will also be invited to her birthday ceremony. We will talk about it then and let their elders start negotiating."
Xie Lingjiang whispered: "Okay, you make the decision."
Ouyang Rong held her hand tighter.
Xie Lingjiang also held his hand firmly.
As if they had discovered something interesting, the two of them played with their hands loosening and tightening.
Xie Lingjiang muttered and asked:
"Why did Senior Brother suddenly mention this matter? Weren't you not in a hurry before?"
Ouyang Rong said softly:
"I'm not in a hurry, but someone is."
"You...you are the one who is in a hurry, I am not in a hurry."
"Oh, don't worry. Recently, you have repeatedly mentioned Dalang's marriage in front of me and asked me about my opinions. Are you sure you are not hinting?"
"What a ghost is suggesting to you, whether you like this marriage or not."
Ouyang Rong laughed and said seriously:
"Junior sister agrees with Dalang's reason for refusing to marry. She doesn't want to get married in advance and the wife and concubines will have conflicts in the future... I went back and thought about it, and found that my previous views were a bit hasty, and I quite agree with Dalang.
"Not to mention whether the elder man has selfish motives for waiting for someone, the rights of the head wife do need to be defended. Marrying a concubine in advance is really not appropriate for his status as the heir apparent. What if he can get to the great treasure in the future?
, then the concubine now will be the imperial concubine in the future. This is not a small issue for ordinary people, it is a major matter for the emperor's family and needs to be carefully considered."
Xie Lingjiang was slightly startled: "That's the truth, but senior brother thinks further."
Ouyang Rong said calmly:
"So the summary of the Dalang incident is that we must first determine the main wife and concubines and then talk about it later."
Xie Lingjiang immediately agreed:
"Well, that's it."
Ouyang Rong squinted his eyes slightly, took a sip of wine, and glanced at the younger junior sister who became happy after agreeing on the same point of view.
Don't look at it, they are just chatting about the incident where the older man refused to marry.
But when couples discuss other people’s gossip, they never really care about other people’s affairs, but rather use it to gain insight into each other’s ideas and then reveal their own attitudes...
This is a good way to resolve possible conflicts in the future at low cost.
But just now, Ouyang Rong compromised his attitude and took the initiative to propose a marriage contract and take action.
Xie Lingjiang couldn't help but drink a few more glasses of wine, his face was red, and he seemed to be in a good mood tonight.
She flipped through the small book aimlessly, looked at Rong Zhen's handwriting, and said for the first time:
"Speaking of which, this Rong Zhen is indeed good to you. This time, Senior Brother was able to obtain the Sword Art and be promoted to the seventh rank because of her contribution. This is indeed undeniable.
"It was the same in the past. I confessed to Senior Brother many times... If I were a man, I would inevitably feel compassion for her."
Ouyang Rong frowned: "What do you mean?"
Xie Lingjiang raised his head, observed Ouyang Rong's expression, and asked:
"Does Senior Brother have no idea about her at all?"
Ouyang Rong shook his head:
"Are you kidding? If she knew that I was the owner of Dielianhua, she would eat me alive. Some things are impossible from the beginning. Why would she do such a thing? It is simply insulting.
"But I admit that I feel guilty towards Rong Nushi because I hid it from her from the beginning."
"So senior brother can tolerate her temper these days?"
"That's right."
"Is it possible that she already guessed it?"
Ouyang Rong frowned: "Little junior sister, don't scare me."
"Just saying maybe."
Ouyang Rong frowned and thought about something, as if he was aroused with worry.
Xie Lingjiang glanced at him and said with a faint smile:
"Actually, it's not impossible for her to have selfish motives. If she has such a wish, you can tell her when the time comes. I won't refuse, but there is one condition."
Before Ouyang Rong could speak, she smiled and narrowed her eyes:
"When she comes in, she has to serve tea in front of everyone and call her sister instead."
Ouyang Rong suddenly felt a big headache.
Why are you still fighting about things that are beyond your control?
Not to mention whether this is possible.
Even if Rong Nu Shi had such an idea.
But this little junior sister is not agreeing, she is clearly making things difficult.
I said this because I knew it was 100% impossible for Rong Nu Shi to do this and lower her arrogant head.
However, he didn't know what he thought of, but Ouyang Rong suddenly nodded:
"Okay. So little junior sister is so generous."
He joked:
"Even Rong Nvshi can accept it. If it were other women, wouldn't it be even more acceptable?"
Xie Lingjiang nodded subconsciously: "Well..."
After a pause, she nodded slightly harder and spoke in a longer tone:
"Okay, if you have the ability, try it."
Ouyang Rong nodded: "Okay, try it and... die."
Halfway through, Xie Lingjiang raised his head and looked at him without blinking. Ouyang Rong lowered his head and pressed his forehead against hers.
The two stared at each other.
Immediately, they looked at each other and smiled again.
Quietly snuggled for a while.
At a certain moment, Xie Lingjiang’s low voice came:
"Move your hands, no, don't pinch, it's itchy..."
Ouyang Rong kept looking up at the moon:
"Don't move."
She held back her numbness and spat:
"Didn't you mean admiring the moon?"
He is serious:
"Yes, isn't this the moon? It has two wheels."
Xie Lingjiang: "...?"
