Chapter 727 A false alarm, the two warm girls [please vote for me!]
At the entrance of Yinbingzhai.
Just as Ouyang Rong was about to speak, the crisp sound of wooden fish suddenly sounded in his ears, and his merits increased inexplicably.
Before he could react, the dull sound of wooden fish sounded in his ears again, and the newly increased merit was deducted again... There was basically no change.
Ouyang Rong looked a little curious.
But this kind of thing happened occasionally in the past, so it's not unusual.
"The merits are equal to the faults? What happened?"
He started to mutter.
At this moment, he found someone coming, and Xiao Mo Jing slipped back into his sleeve.
Ye Weilai came over and said softly:
"Tan Lang, Miss Xie and her aunt are here. They are Mrs. Xie from Yangzhou. Madam calls you to come over and receive them."
Ouyang Rong smiled and clapped his hands: "Okay, please help me first to see if it is correct."
"Well, that's right."
Ouyang Rong nodded with satisfaction, turned around and left, heading to the main hall.
Ye Weilai followed him, and the two walked forward together for a while. She suddenly noticed that Tan Lang stopped and stretched out his hand as if to touch his eyes.
"What's wrong Tanlang?"
Ouyang Rong waved his hand: "It's okay, let's go."
"Well, we can't keep Miss Xie and Mrs. Xie waiting for too long."
Ye Weilai smiled and continued to follow the advancing slender figure, thinking a little:
"By the way, Tanlang, tell me for a while whether Mrs. Xie will talk about you and Miss Xie..."
Ouyang Rong suddenly stopped slowly:
"Weila, has Liulang arrived?"
"I've arrived early. I'm eating melon seeds with the Nanlong people in the lobby."
"Call him over. I'll wait for him at the stable."
I saw Ouyang Rong turn around inexplicably, change direction, and go to the stable at the back door.
"But Miss Xie and Mrs. Xie..."
Ye Weilai was startled for a moment, but still nodded:
"Yes, Tanlang."
After a stick of incense.
Yan Liulang, who had grabbed a handful of melon seeds and rushed over, saw Ouyang Rong sitting upright in a carriage that had just been prepared at the back door.
"What are you doing in Mingfu? Aren't you going to pick up guests? Where are you going?"
Yan Liulang looked around curiously and asked.
Ouyang Rongzheng opened the curtains and stared in trance. Hearing this, he withdrew his eyes from the direction of Xingzifang.
He asked for no reason:
"Is there any news from Pei Shisanniang? When was the last time news came?"
Yan Liulang was stunned for a moment, cupped his fists and said:
"Report to the Ming Mansion, there is no abnormal movement in Xingzifang for the time being. The last news from Mrs. Pei was at noon. She sent someone over to meet with our people and discuss matters in the afternoon...
"We have agreed that at 2:00 p.m. in the afternoon, she will come by car and deliver the embroidery girl to her door in person."
In the carriage, Yan Liulang clasped his fists and reported.
After speaking, he glanced at Ouyang Rong with an expression that seemed to be thinking.
At this time, someone opened the curtain outside the car, and it was Ali, the groom, who poked his head in to take a look.
Yan Liulang found that Ali was dressed up and ready to go. He had fed Dongmei and looked like he was ready to go at any time.
Judging from his hesitant expression, he seemed to have been waiting for a long time and wanted to ask the Ming government for instructions on what to do next.
It seemed that the Ming government had just given him some instructions and asked him to prepare in advance.
Yan Liulang withdrew his gaze and asked cautiously:
"Is Mingfu worried about something? Did he discover something fishy?"
Ouyang Rong touched his right eyelid again and did not answer immediately.
He also saw Ali who wanted to come in and ask for instructions on what to do next, but he didn't reply immediately, as if he wasn't looking.
Ouyang Rong pursed his lips.
In fact, he didn't find any strange signs, but... from morning to now, his right eyelid was twitching frequently, and he felt a faint feeling of uneasiness in his heart. This feeling was not strong, but distant, like a gossamer.
Coupled with the sudden increase and decrease in merit points just now, the two just superimposed.
Ouyang Rong said:
"It doesn't really count, I just suddenly thought of it and asked."
Having said this, he opened the car curtains and took a look at the sky.
The second quarter of Shen Zheng is 4:30 in the afternoon.
It's about half past two in the afternoon.
There is still about an hour before the embroiderer's scheduled arrival time.
However, Ouyang Rong knew that Xiu Niang was impatient and would only arrive early. Even if she arrived, she would wait outside. She would still come in advance to avoid being late and would never step on the spot.
While Ouyang Rong was sitting in deep thought, he heard Yan Liulang say:
"Mingfu, so far, the news coming from everywhere, including Xingzifang, is still within the normal response time. Compared with the past, I have not found anything unusual."
Ouyang Rong was quiet for a moment.
He said slowly:
"In this way, no matter how hard you work, Liulang will immediately go to several other places except Xingzifang and go there in person.
"You focus on checking three places. The first one is the Nanfang family in the city. Meet the Fang sisters. The second one is Li Yu in Chengtian Temple. Huaimin. See if Li Yu is there. The third one is Li Yu.
Go through the Jiuzhou Prison and check the prisoners... Go through it all, Rokuro, let's go now."
"Uh, yes."
Yan Liulang was so busy that he shook the melon seeds out of his sleeves and took the order with his fists clasped.
He wrote down the Ming government's deployment, found that one was missing, and asked:
"Hey, Ming Mansion, where is Pei Shisanniang and Xiu Niang's yard? Don't you need to go there? It's just on the way..."
Ouyang Rong calmly shook his head and pointed to the carriage at his feet: "I'll go over there, the carriage is ready..."
Just then.
Ye Weilai's voice came from outside.
"Is Tanlang here?"
Yan Liulang was silent. Ouyang Rong opened the curtain and asked with a smile: "What's wrong?"
Ye Weilai curiously looked at the carriage ready to go and said:
"Tanlang, the eldest lady asked you why you disappeared, and asked you to hurry over. There are quite a lot of guests. Thank you girl and her aunt. The eldest lady is entertaining you, but there are new guests. They are the elders of the eldest lady's natal family.
She has to go to the door
After that, the eldest lady asked you to go back quickly to take her place and accompany Miss Xie and the others. By the way, I heard from Miss Xie that the little princess and the prince of Xunyang Palace are coming soon. On the way, they are distinguished guests, and they are only
Neng Tanlang entertained..."
Before Ouyang Rong could speak, Ye Weilai turned around and looked behind her, her expression stunned:
"Hey, Miss Xie is here. She should be here to see Tan Lang. Well, is Tan Lang going out?"
Ouyang Rong followed her gaze and turned his head to look, and sure enough he saw a fiery red figure like the sunset appearing on the corridor not far away.
He hesitated for a moment: "I want first..."
At this moment, Yan Liulang suddenly pulled Ouyang Rong's cuffs.
"Mingfu."
Ouyang Rong frowned and turned back.
Yan Liulang nodded heavily and said:
"In the Ming Mansion, leave the courtyard of Mrs. Pei and Miss Xiu Niang to Bei Zhi, plus the three places you just ordered. But Bei Zhi first goes to Miss Xiu Niang's yard and looks for Mrs. Pei.
Then just escort them back together."
He smiled:
"Didn't Mingfu always say that you have to be calm and calm when doing things? Prioritize things, calm down and think clearly before doing anything, and don't mess up. It's the same now, Mingfu, you are the only male master of the family. It's the birthday of the closest relative and elder.
You still need to be in charge of the show. It's not good to be absent halfway. No matter how sensible Madam Zhen and Miss Xie are, they are still women. For a man, after all, they care about the word 'valuing' him."
He took off the waist knife, hugged it tightly in his arms, held out his chest and said:
"However, Mingfu's worries in advance are not unreasonable. Let's leave the external affairs to Ji Zhi, and Mingfu will continue to stay."
Ouyang Rong looked at him.
After a while, he nodded, got out of the car and left, leaving the carriage with Yan Liulang.
Before leaving, Ouyang Rong silently took a look at the merit values in the merit tower...
In the carriage, Yan Liulang opened the curtains and glanced at Mingfu's back as he strode away, as if he had left everything to him. He saw that Mingfu had just walked a few steps when he met Miss Xie and the two had a conversation.
The voice also came faintly:
"Elder brother, what are you doing here? Where are you going?"
"It's okay, where is aunt?"
"We'll pick you up at the gate." Miss Xie said in a confused voice, "Does Senior Brother have any thoughts?"
"Junior sister, when will the crown prince and the little princess arrive?"
"Come on, let's go there first..."
The two brothers and sisters walked away.
The blue-robed catcher looked away. What he didn't see was that the figure of the young governor walked halfway and raised his hand to touch his right eye.
It seemed to have jumped.
Outside the stable.
"Brother Ali, let's go, first go to the Xingzi Lake, the yard of the embroidered lady."
"Yes, Yan joins the army."
Yan Liulang adjusted his clothes, closed his eyes and gave instructions, preparing to go out. He originally took a half-day holiday in the afternoon and came to attend the dinner, but he didn't expect that he would still have to work overtime.
The carriage driven by Ali just drove out of the back door and suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong?"
Yan Liulang opened his eyes and asked with a frown.
Ali's strange words came from outside: "It's the young master."
"What son?"
Before Yanrokuro finished speaking, he saw a slender figure getting into the carriage.
It was Ouyang Rong, who left and came back again.
But this time, when we came back together, there was a graceful figure as red as the clouds.
It was Miss Xie. Ye Weilai was nowhere to be seen.
Yan Liulang saw that Miss Xie got into the carriage with Ming Fu and sat down next to Ming Fu. She turned to look at his face. Her pretty brows frowned slightly, showing a hint of worry.
Yan Liulang asked in confusion:
"Why is Mingfu back? Um, Miss Xie, are you here too?"
Xie Lingjiang nodded lightly and did not reply. He kept his head tilted, always paying attention to his senior brother's expression.
Ouyang Rong didn't look at her. He raised his hand and touched his chin. He stared at Yan Liulang opposite for a while and saw that the latter's scalp was slightly numb.
"Mingfu, is there something on Ji Zhi's face?"
Yan Liulang touched this face, which he thought was second only to Ming Fu in handsomeness.
Ouyang Ronghu said: "Let's go together."
Yan Liulang became more and more confused: "Why did Mingfu change his mind? Will Miss Xie go too?"
Miss Xie frowned and nodded. Ali outside received the order and continued driving.
Ouyang Rong did not explain, closed his eyes, and went to the Merit Tower to check.
At this moment, the crisp sound of wooden fish was ringing in his ears.
This was Ouyang Rong's sudden increase in merit when he suddenly brought Xie Lingjiang back and boarded the carriage.
It doesn't matter how much, what matters is the reaction of the little wooden fish with merit!
That's right, Ouyang Rong just tested the difference between going by himself or not, so he went and came back.
This shows that if he goes together, his merits will increase!
Although I don’t know exactly how it rose, it shows a sign.
Ouyang Rong's face gradually turned serious.
Xie Lingjiang turned to Yan Liulang and said, "Don't ask, let's go together. Listen to senior brother, this matter concerns Xiu Niang, and my aunt and I will be fine for the time being."
"yes."
Yan Liulang nodded vigorously.
Xie Lingjiang glanced at Ouyang Rong's face. On the way, she had heard him briefly explain that he was worried about Xiu Niang.
She asked softly:
"Elder brother, is there anything unusual at Xiu Niang?"
Ouyang Rong opened his eyes and said calmly: "I have to take a look."
"Okay, go take a look, I'll accompany you."
Ouyang Rong looked at her with a serious face and apologized:
"Sorry for disturbing you, little junior sister..."
Xie Lingjiang suddenly stretched out his hand, held the back of Ouyang Rong's hand, and shook his head:
"The affairs of Sister Xiu Niang are my business. It's not just you, I'm also worried. Other things can be put aside for the time being. Her affairs can't be careless... Senior brother, Xiu Niang has paid too much for you. As long as you are a
No man should let her down... Let's go together, let's be together, senior brother is very good and honest this time, and you must keep it like this in the future, don't hide anything from me."
The girl in red dress sat upright and preached word by word.
Ouyang Rong took a deep breath and nodded heavily: "Okay, let's do it together!"
Brothers and sisters work together.
The carriage slowly drove out of the back door.
Passing the street outside, we just drove for a while.
The advancing carriage stopped again.
Ouyang Rong frowned: "Why did you stop?"
Before Ali could explain, Pei Shisanniang's curious voice suddenly sounded outside.
"Sir, where are you going?"
Ouyang Rong instantly opened the car curtain and looked out.
I saw Ali's carriage meeting Pei Shisanniang's luxurious carriage, blocking each other's way.
Pei Shisanniang should also be preparing to drive the luxurious carriage to the back door and park it in the stable.
Ouyang Rong subconsciously said: "You..."
Before he could finish speaking, Pei Shisanniang could not wait to lift the curtain and signal to him:
"Young master, as agreed, I am sending the embroider girl here... Uh, young master and Miss Xie, where are Yan Canjun going?"
"Long Ling——"
Ouyang Rong heard a familiar figure and turned around to see a slender white shadow inside the car.
"Ahhh."
Zhao Qingxiu held Pei Shisanniang's arm and walked out of the carriage.
A sky-blue ribbon covered her eyes, but she also wore a black veil hat on her head.
Black and white don't quite match.
"Sister Xiu Niang."
Xie Lingjiang, who was beside Ouyang Rong, had already run over to help Zhao Qingxiu.
"Ah!"
Zhao Qingxiu's voice was a little excited as if she was calling "sister".
Thanks to Jiang Yanran, she smiled, helped her out of the car, and helped her through the door.
"We're finally here. Senior brother was worried just now, but my sister came quite early, almost an hour early. You, you, are also impatient. Why are you wearing this hat today? Isn't it Mrs. Pei's?"
Zhao Qingxiu lowered her head shyly, as if writing something on her palm, followed Xie Lingjiang through the door, and looked back from time to time in the direction of Ouyang Rong.
The two girls have a harmonious atmosphere.
Ouyang Rong followed them in a daze.
"Mingfu, humble position now..."
"Stay for dinner."
"Yes, Mingfu."
Yan Liulang breathed a sigh of relief and ran back happily to continue eating melon seeds.
Ouyang Rong looked around,
Before entering, Ouyang Rong looked inside the merit tower with some confusion.
Hey, what happened to the increase in merit just now?
Ouyang Rong noticed that his eyelids didn't seem to twitch much anymore. He shook his head and followed.
"Sister, take off your hat. It doesn't look good on you. I'll give you a nice one next time."
"Um."
"Hey, the embroiderer didn't put on makeup. Why did she come here without makeup? Mrs. Pei didn't apply eyebrows? Why are her eyes still a little red..."
Zhao Qingxiu quietly turned her head. Before she could answer, Xie Lingjiang had already said with a smile:
"That's good. Let's go. There's still an hour left. Let's go to Senior Brother's yard first and I'll help you dress up."
"Uh-huh!"
Zhao Qingxiu nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, and happily held the hand of Xie Lingjiang, who was like a big sister.
The ice-white jade hairpin on her temples also started to dance lively.
"Long Ling - Long Ling -"
Ouyang Rong followed behind like a transparent boy and looked at the pretty beauties in front of him, one large and one small, who were whispering.
Hearing the familiar jade sound, he felt inexplicably at ease for some reason.
Ouyang Rong did not interrupt and followed the two girls to Yinbingzhai...
