"Your Excellency, you are Ouyang Lianghan? Are you still Miss Xie's elder brother?"

Ouyang Rong nodded, and before Li Heng, who became enthusiastic, could ask more questions, the smart maid came over in small steps and respectfully asked Ouyang Rong to sit in the front row.

So, someone left the table where they had almost eaten and stood up...

This is a dining table near the front. There is only a VIP table between Xie Xue'e and Xie Lingjiang's main table, so you can hear the chat there.

Of course, none of this is important. The important thing is that there are still a lot of delicacies on this table, and no one is taking their chopsticks. Well, there is no kid like Yan Rokuro trying to steal it.

Ouyang Rong sat down satisfied and turned around to see that his old boss Wang Lengran and a black-robed monk named Master Sihui were also there.

Wang Lengran had a kind face: "Master Ouyang is here too? You have worked hard these days and you have lost weight due to hunger. Master Ouyang should eat more."

"good."

Ouyang Rong nodded and took off his chopsticks. The first thing he picked up was the plate of braised crucian carp in front of Wang Lengran.

"..." Wang Lengran.

Master Sihui smiled slightly at Ouyang Rong.

He smiled back.

After touching a stick of incense, Xie Xue'e and Xie Lingjiang finished a round of longevity wine and returned to the main table.

As soon as the host returned to his seat, the tables in the front row suddenly became lively.

Ouyang Rong, on the other hand, focused on cooking and didn't pay much attention to the topics that wanted to be discussed.

I could only faintly hear that at the main table, there seemed to be some young talents about his age, getting up one after another to celebrate the birthday of the junior sister.

There are direct sons from the Wang family of Langya, a family friend, the eldest son of the governor of Hongzhou, and even the third son of the Li family who entrusted a certain state in the south of the Yangtze River... all of them are extremely distinguished.

Without exception, these young talents all presented a heavy birthday gift, including an agate cup with an animal head, a tortoise shell from the South China Sea, and ambergris that was more expensive than gold.

Really arrogant.

Ouyang Rong nodded in approval.

But these have nothing to do with him. The gifts he gave followed the procedure for most normal guests and were handed over to the maids at the front desk before entering... You can come in and have a meal without any worries.

At the main table, Xie Xue'e's eyes were satisfied and she smiled brightly, introducing these young talents to Xie Lingjiang.

Well, it’s another classic blind date session between the aunt and her niece...

Ouyang Rong, who was not far away, had a panoramic view of all this. His chopsticks for picking vegetables became more and more skillful, and he output in a low-key manner.

What, asking him to express himself too? Write a unique birthday poem to shock everyone or something.

Ouyang Rong shook his head.

If he likes to do this, why do he stay so far away from the celebrity circle in Xunyang City these days?

Instead of saying that the circle of celebrities in Xunyang isolated him, as the gossip said, it is better to say that he isolated and ignored the celebrities in Xunyang.

He has not forgotten why he came to Xunyang City.

The family from Prince Xunyang's Mansion didn't forget either, so they didn't arrive today.

Then... where is the junior sister?

From the corner of his eye, Ouyang Rong saw Xie Lingjiang sitting upright in front of the main table not far away. In front of her aunt Xie Xue'e, her pretty face was serious, as if she was listening to the chatter and laughter of those young heroes.

Ouyang Rong also noticed that the porcelain bowl and silver chopsticks in front of Xie Lingjiang were almost untouched.

Didn't pick up any vegetables.

He silently glanced at the delicious dishes on the table. In the past, if there was such a sumptuous dinner in Meilin Courtyard, the junior sister would be able to get away with it, just like she competed with him for pickled radishes during the morning fast at Donglin Temple.

Ouyang Rong suddenly felt that the food in his mouth was a little tasteless.

Is there no one to eat with him?

Ouyang Rong suddenly wanted to go over and tell the young talents that instead of trying so hard in front of the public and trying to make her smile and give her so many gifts, it would be better to be quiet and let her rest a little.

Filling your stomach with chopsticks will help you gain favor.

At Ouyang Rong's table, a Kuanglu celebrity dressed as a Taoist priest also stood up to present a gift, and presented an ancient flute. It was said that it was a relic from a certain bamboo forest celebrity in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

This Kuanglu celebrity's birthday congratulations were also very beautiful, and he immediately won the applause of all the guests. For a moment, all eyes were focused on this table.

Just as the famous flute-gifter sat down, Wang Lengran suddenly turned around and spoke:

"I wonder what kind of gift Mr. Ouyang gave me? Wait, I'm wrong. Mr. Ouyang has clean sleeves, is simple and frugal, and is a well-known upright and upright official. How could he give such a precious thing?

"But as Miss Xie's elder brother, Master Ouyang's gift should be carefully prepared. It is indispensable to be elegant and noble, just like Mr. Jiang's flute.

"I am a little curious, why don't you take it out and show it to everyone."

A series of eyes suddenly turned to him.

Including Xie Xue'e and Xie Lingjiang.

Ouyang Rongzhi paused and turned his head silently.

The chief and deputy officials in charge of Jiangzhou looked at each other for a while.
