No, gentlemen also guard against

Chapter 555 Junior Sister and the First Wife Love to Check on Me [Please Guarantee a Monthly Ticket! ]

Ouyang Rong was actually very interested in the new Dinghuo that appeared in [Craftsmen’s Works].

But right now, the man and the sword are separated, so it is impossible to study them.

Speaking of which, Lin Cheng’s mourning hall has been set up at the Xingzi Lake construction site for almost a month and has not been removed yet.

Deputy Supervisor Song has not been removed yet. I heard Rong Zhen mention it before that Nanny Song goes there to burn incense every day. At the same time, because the golden Buddha head is still preserved on the construction site, she also stays overnight at the Xingzi Lake construction site.

Even if it is the elderly sending off the young, this is still a bit too long.

Ouyang Rong felt that it would be impolite to send it again.

It mainly hindered him from secretly retrieving the sword.

After performing the Shangqing unique skill "Decree of the Descending God", there was no other way but to take advantage of the chaos to temporarily hide [Craftsmanship] in Xingzi Lake.

But there is one thing you can rest assured about.

[Craftsmanship] It is indeed safe to stay at the bottom of Xingzi Lake.

The mythical Ding Sword has become dull and dim because it has lost its sword wielder.

In addition, since Ouyang Rong woke up for the second time in Donglin Temple on Dagu Mountain, he had acquired the ability of "hiding the wind and gathering energy" in a confused manner. The sword energy of [Craftsman] also followed the male owner and was hidden and restrained.

So after it was beyond the control of the sword master, its true form was revealed, which was just a "glass iris petal", at most emitting a faint blue light in the sunlight.

Right now, it was suspended somewhere at the bottom of Xingzi Lake, undetectable to anyone except the fish that had the misfortune to swim by and split in two.

Could it be possible that Nanny Song and the female officials of the Imperial Observatory could drain all the water from Xingzi Lake?
If it weren't for the legendary swordsman's exclusive cauldron fire that was accidentally lit up along with the twin sword techniques of light and darkness, Ouyang Rong would have been able to run over in broad daylight and retrieve the sword right under the nose of a top-grade Yin-Yang school Qigong practitioner.

However, we have to be prepared for any eventuality.

It would be embarrassing if this strange cauldron fire came out again when fishing for the sword and caused a strong impact, such as evaporating all the water in Xingzi Lake.

We have to pick a time when Nanny Song and other female officials are not around.

After bidding farewell to Pei Shisan Niang, Ouyang Rong in the carriage withdrew his hand from the sword case and touched his chin.

Adhering to the principle of creating opportunities if there are none.

He immediately turned his head:
"Let's go to the Overwatch Council first."

"Yes, son."

……

An hour later.

In front of the Supervisory Council.

Ouyang Rong walked out with a calm expression, and Rong Zhen walked side by side with him, holding a lantern.

"You mean, the West City Gate has been renovated and we can move the Buddha head from the Xingzi Lake construction site out?"

"Well, it's not a long-term solution to have your Supervisory Office's personnel dispersed in two places. It's better to immediately transport the Buddha head to the Xunyang Grottoes construction site and keep it together with the stone Buddha. Deputy Supervisor Song and the others can also go there to join up. This will make it easier for you, the Astronomical Office, to work together..."

"Okay, I will go talk to Senior Song."

"Deputy Supervisor Song will not be reluctant to leave the mourning hall of his beloved disciple, right?"

"Although Senior Song is known for her domineering and violent temper in the Luoyang Astronomical Bureau, I heard from the Great God of Destiny that she was even more irritable when she was young... But Senior Song is loyal to His Majesty and will put the overall situation first. Wasn't the last time she received His Majesty's oral order to invite you an example?"

"Okay then. I'll have to trouble Madam Song to help."

"No, it's you who's worried.

"On your first day in office, you arranged so many things in an orderly manner. I heard that you also went to Xingzifang to inspect during the day and cleaned up the mess left by Wang Lengran and those Yang merchants..."

In front of the carriage, Ouyang Rong and Rong Zhen stopped. The latter tilted her head to look at his face. She corrected him seriously with a tone of praise.

Ouyang Rong coughed. In fact, he really wanted to say that this was not a mess or a burden, but a great gift package of political achievements.

But in the end, he still didn't explain.

First, this kind of insider stuff is difficult to explain clearly to a high-ranking court lady like Rong Zhen and an outsider.

Second, if this incident had not happened, it would be difficult to explain why Pei Shisan Niang became so close to him and even defected to him.

Well, if Madam Historian wants to use her imagination, let her do it.

It’s best to imagine that he forgave Pei Shisan Niang reluctantly.

Moreover, Ouyang Rong had just informed Rong Zhen in the Supervisory Council about his meeting with Pei Shisanniang in the afternoon.

In fact, there was no need to hide it. It was possible that there were female officials from the Supervisory Council following him at the time.

"Ms. Rong and I are only doing our part... Please stay, don't see me off."

As Rong Zhen watched, Ouyang Rong boarded the carriage.

"Wait." she suddenly shouted.

"what happened?"

Ouyang Rong paused in his movement to lift the car curtain and looked back in confusion.

Rong Zhenzhen was holding a lantern, her body half turned, no longer facing him, looking sideways, her eyes seemed to be focused on the night in the distance, she spoke casually:
"Thank you, aunt, on behalf of me and the Overwatch Council. The chicken soup that Yan the officer brought yesterday was quite warming and nourishing. The ladies in the court praised it highly after tasting it. Next time, I will bring gifts to visit you."

"okay……"

Ouyang Rong hesitated to speak.

I want to ask if Rong Zhen has tried it. Mainly because before she left yesterday, didn't she say that she didn't like eating and drinking during official business? How come now she and the subordinates of the Overwatch Council have tasted some...

Unfortunately, Rong Zhen had already turned around and left at a very fast speed, with the lantern in his hand swinging left and right uncontrollably.

Ouyang Rong got back on the carriage, left the Supervisory Office, and soon returned to his residence in Huaiye Lane.

Ouyang Rong didn't bring it if Rong Zhen asked him to.

Because my junior sister is here and my aunt is busy, she doesn’t have time.

"Aunt Wei wants you and Aunt Zhen to come over for dinner."

Ouyang Rong returned home and walked into the living room. Before he even sat down, Xie Lingjiang grabbed his arm and pulled him out the door.

She was wearing a silver-red jacket and a green satin vest today. The vest slightly concealed the two beautiful flowers on her upper body.

But the most eye-catching thing was the lotus-colored silk skirt with gold embroidery and fish-scale pleats that she was wearing.

This horse-face skirt is a dress worn by women when riding horses. It is characterized by a wide skirt that looks like a horse's cheek, hence the name. This design can not only show the graceful figure of women, but also cover the legs, which is in line with the relatively open atmosphere of women in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

However, in this era, it was indeed exclusive clothing for aristocratic ladies and ordinary people could not wear it.

Ouyang Rong took a closer look.

Yan Liulang was also in the hall. After finishing his shift, he changed out of his casual clothes and rushed over. Judging from his happy face, he must have been invited.

Judging from the situation, the news that Ouyang Rong received an imperial decree and was promoted and given a title had spread. Li Xian's family was happy for him and invited him to dinner to celebrate.

Speaking of which, Ouyang Rong hasn't been here for more than half a month. He was busy with the Spring Festival.

"Wait, I need to change my clothes too. The official uniform is not convenient."

"No need. I brought you a set of clothes that were handmade by my aunt's coat shop in Yangzhou. Big Brother, you are now a scholar of Xiuwen Academy. A scholar is the most noble among the nobles in Luoyang. Your attire should be different from that of ordinary Confucian scholars."

Xie Lingjiang looked at the helpless expression on his face and explained seriously with her pretty face.

"Is there still such a thing?"

"Well, that's because Senior Brother doesn't know how prestigious it is to be a scholar at Xiuwen Academy. In the past, Xiuwen Academy was mostly the private preserve of the most outstanding young men among the wealthy families in the two capitals and the five surnames and seven families.

"Big Brother, with the endorsement of His Majesty and the Prince of Xiang, was promoted to Xiuwen Academy as a poor scholar... Today, my aunt wrote to me and asked me about this, saying that Uncle Su praised you in private and discussed preparing a gift for you..." Ouyang Rong held his forehead and said casually, "Aren't the scholars of Xiuwen Academy responsible for compiling and proofreading books, and compiling the history of the previous dynasty and the annals of the current dynasty? Oh, and they can also teach students."

"The professors are not ordinary students. In theory, they can teach princes of the royal family and even the emperor."

"Oh, the little book boy who studies with the emperor in the palace."

"No, what little book boy? This is a springboard, a springboard that many Confucian scholars in the world cannot reach in their lifetime."

Xie Lingjiang walked out with her arm around his. She had been serious at first, but she rolled her eyes cutely because of his words. She stretched out a white index finger and tapped the tall nose of the eldest brother. He leaned back and dodged.

"Anyway, he is definitely not a so-called literary hanger-on who only writes poems and does nothing else."

Ouyang Rong nodded: "Okay, the palace's senior companion book boy."

"...??"

At this time, the two were passing by the door. Ouyang Rong pointed to the door god couplet passing by and changed the subject:
"Junior sister, when you walked in, did you see me like this..."

Xie Lingjiang interrupted his spell:
"This? Oh, I have it too. The Qin family sends it to me every year. Don't listen to their nonsense about only painting three paintings every year to give away. You don't know that Uncle Qin used to be so idle in Yangzhou that he painted these things every day. He saved a lot of them and gave them to everyone he met for a while."

Ouyang Rong: "..."

So this is how you fool young people, Mr. Qin?
The casual remark made Ouyang Rong's mouth suddenly feel dull.

This is the bad thing about women who are raised in wealth.

"Hey, where's my aunt?" he asked, looking around.

"She's changing her clothes. Aunt Zhen is now a fourth-rank imperial wife, and is the Princess of Jian'an. My aunt also asked me to prepare a gift for her, a travel dress for the wife of a Princess. Aunt Zhen likes it very much and is still trying it on in the room..."

Hearing this, Ouyang Rong immediately knew that he would have to wait outside for at least a quarter of an hour.

This is the norm when you go out with women, whether they are big or small.

After walking out of the gate, Ouyang Rong was originally planning to change to his junior sister's Xie's carriage. After all, it was more spacious there, and he and his aunt would sit together, three of them.

He subconsciously walked towards Xie's carriage, and immediately felt resistance at his elbow.

Look back.

He met eyes with Xie Lingjiang who also looked back.

Judging from the direction of her body, she was just about to walk towards Ouyang Rong's carriage.

Xie Lingjiang pulled his arm and waved it coquettishly, biting her lip:

"Take your seat."

After saying that, she pulled Ouyang Rong into his carriage.

As soon as he entered the carriage, Ouyang Rong looked at Xie Lingjiang left and right, and twitched his small nose like a mouse.

Ouyang Rong remained calm: "What are you doing, Junior Sister?"

"Whose scent is this?"

She asked gently.

Ouyang Rong answered honestly: "Well, it should be Pei Shisan Niang's. She asked Liu Lang to come see me just this evening."

While Xie Lingjiang was speaking, he stretched out his hand and reached under Ouyang Rong's crotch.

Ouyang Rong said "Oh my god" in his heart and subconsciously brought his legs together to clamp the beautiful woman's soft hands.

Xie Lingjiang's face flushed immediately, and he said angrily:
"You...you let go."

"No." Ouyang Rong shook his head like a rattle: "Absolutely not in the car, this is a matter of principle."

"Bah, what are you thinking, Big Brother? I'm taking the stuff down there, so let go."

Ouyang Rong was startled for a moment, with his legs spread. Xie Lingjiang gave him a look and took out the sword box from under the seat with ease.

He opened the sword case very skillfully and took a look, then searched through it with his bare hands.

Ouyang Rong felt that his junior sister seemed to be more skilled than him.

Finally, Xie Lingjiang took a purple and gold shawl that exuded a faint fragrance and threw it on the seat next to him.

She leaned forward and leaned back into her seat, her chin in her hands, her big bright eyes, her eyelashes fluttering, looking at him longingly:
"Well, Big Brother, please continue. I'm listening."

Ouyang Rong said sternly, "This is also what she left behind. I plan to return it to her next time. If you don't believe me, Liu Lang will be my witness."

"I believe it, of course I don't. But when she got on the bus, she probably didn't sit down. She was kneeling, right?"

"Ah, how did you know this?" Ouyang Rong was speechless: "Did Junior Sister see it? She was nearby at the time."

Xie Lingjiang supported his chin with his hands, pouted his lips, and pointed to his feet:
"The wet marks show that I have been kneeling at your feet."

Ouyang Rong looked down and saw that there were indeed two faint oval-shaped wet marks on the floor. He was speechless and stretched out his foot to rub them, and hurriedly explained:
"This... this is sweat, I really didn't notice it on the ground, but I remember that she was scared and excited at the time, and her forehead was sweating a lot, and her hair was wet...

"Anyway, Junior Sister, it's definitely not what you think. Don't get me wrong. How could I do that, especially in a carriage in public..."

The unruly wet marks on the ground made Ouyang Rong want to beat Pei Shisan Niang to death!
Unexpectedly, Xie Lingjiang looked at him strangely:
"What else could it be if it's not sweat? It hasn't rained outside these days, otherwise why is she wet underneath? What do you think I'm thinking, Senior Brother?"

Ouyang Rong looked closely and found that Xie Lingjiang's puzzled expression did not seem to be fake, so he immediately joked:

"Nothing, nothing. Junior Sister is smart and saw it right away. Senior Brother is stupid."

"No, that's not right, you definitely don't mean that."

Xie Lingjiang Qiushui narrowed his eyes slightly, put a white index finger in front of Ouyang Rong's lips, and asked:

"Brother, tell me the truth. Did you misunderstand what I was saying? What other wet marks could there be besides sweat? Tell me quickly. I want to hear it. Is there something I don't understand?"

Looking at the serious little sister who liked to check on him and had her early warning radar fully activated, Ouyang Rong opened his mouth in a bluff, and finally, with a serious face, he uttered three words:
"I was scared to death."

"...??"

After these words were spoken, Xie Lingjiang and Ouyang Rong stared at each other in silence for a while.

The next moment, Miss Xie, with a blushing face, grabbed a wrinkled purple and gold shawl beside her and threw it at him.

But Ouyang Rong dodged it. He pounced forward with lightning speed, grabbed the wrist of the junior sister who was raising her hand to throw the object, and at the same time twisted his arm, quickly pulled Xie Lingjiang into his arms, and hugged her delicate body from behind with both hands.

One round, and the battle is over.

The senior brother held the junior sister firmly under control.

Not far outside the carriage, Yan Liulang, who was waiting in the breeze, was stunned. He turned his head to look at the carriage that had just shaken like a twitch, and muttered, "What are Mr. Ming and Miss Xie doing?" Then he looked away and continued to wait for Madam Zhen.

There was silence in the carriage for a moment.

"You...you let me go. You attacked me by surprise and cheated me. Come again if you have the guts."

Xie Lingjiang gritted his teeth.

"I don't have the ability to come back, but I do have the ability to launch a sneak attack, and it's quite powerful."

Ouyang Rong shook his head and then nodded.

After saying that, he began to explore skillfully with his hands that were hugging the little junior sister from behind, and placed them where they should be.

Xie Lingjiang, who came to check on him tonight, was about to roll over on his legs and sneak attack and pinch his nose, but the next second, his body went limp and he collapsed...

The carriage became quiet.
