Glancing at the crowds of people on the street outside, Ouyang Rong turned back and asked curiously.

"I thought about it for a while. Your mother's hairpin is still very important. It has extraordinary significance. After all, it is an exclusive token of your grandfather's family. It belongs exclusively to the daughter of the Zhao family and cannot be easily left in the hands of outsiders..."

"Know."

"Of course, it doesn't mean that our family is stingy and doesn't know how to reciprocate gifts. Moreover, you have given away all the gifts. It seems not very decent to ask for them back..."

"Um."

Zhen Shuyuan started to chatter, and this time the forward swing was a bit too long. Ouyang Rong raised his hand to interrupt:

"My nephew understands the truth. Auntie will tell you directly what you want to say."

he asked seriously.

Zhen Shuyuan pursed her lips, dismissed the maids on the left and right, and got straight to the point:

"Let's see, you pick a day, invite me back, have a meal together, meet me, have a chat, thank you for the small gifts, and by the way, I can tell you about the hairpin, if you're embarrassed

Open your mouth and come, concubine."

This time, the beautiful woman in Luoqun didn't even ask if her nephew's friend was a boy or girl, and directly sent out the invitation.

"Auntie is really worrying so much. It's not like she won't pay back..."

Ouyang Rong shook his head helplessly and said this, but Zhen Shuyuan heard the next sentence in his mouth and turned around very smoothly:

"Okay, I just want to meet my aunt. If I have time... How about my aunt's birthday in a while? It's just in time to celebrate her birthday."

Ouyang Rong asked, touching his chin.

The corner of Zhen Shuyuan's mouth twitched slightly, she stabilized her expression and said softly:

"Huan Huan said that she would take care of my concubine's birthday ceremony, and she would be responsible for it. Anyway, Huan Huan and the little princess from the palace might be there that day. Are you sure Tan Lang will bring someone over to meet her on that day?

"

Ouyang Rong nodded: "If it's not inconvenient for Auntie, it will be that day."

Zhen Shuyuan's tone was a little slower: "That side of Huan Huan..."

"Of course my nephew will tell you in advance, aunt, don't worry."

"Then... okay, as long as you know what's going on over there at Huanwan."

Zhen Shuyuan took another look at her nephew's calm and calm expression.

"Let's go, aunt, don't send me away."

Ouyang Rong waved his hand and left the Huaiye Lane mansion as usual.

Zhen Shuyuan watched his figure go away, lowered her head at a moment, and said to herself again:

"Old friend?"

…

In the morning, the sun is just right.

After Ouyang Rong left home, he first went to Prince Xunyang's Mansion.

In fact, what he said to Zhen Shuyuan just now was also true.

Xiu Niang is indeed an old friend that my aunt has met. Not to mention anything else, when she was in Longcheng, Xiu Niang secretly worked as a cook in Meiluyuan.

My aunt had eaten the hometown food she cooked, but she didn't recognize her, just like him.

Ouyang Rong sighed softly.

After a while, Ouyang Rong arrived at Xunyang Prince's Mansion. At the bottom of the steps, Ouyang Rong took a look at the grand door of the Prince's Mansion.

Today he brought a joint memorial.

Over the past few days and nights, whenever he had time, Ouyang Rong was polishing it.

Today I finally finished it and brought it to King Xunyang to take a look at and then discuss the details...

An hour later, Ouyang Rong walked out of the palace with sleeves and left with a calm expression.

Two hours later, he took a carriage and rushed to the Xunyang Grottoes, and sent someone to call the female historian.

Before Rong Zhen could even see a shadow, Wang Caozhi's figure had already arrived quickly.

"Good brother-in-law, why didn't you inform me in advance when you came here? My brother-in-law is really low-key, diligent and thrifty, and keeps everything simple. My little brother said that his left eyelid was twitching wildly when he went out today. Just now, from a distance, he could feel a special domineering force... It turns out

My good brother-in-law is here and he can explain it!"

Outside the tent, a disgusting voice came first.

Ouyang Rong glanced at Wang Caozhi from the corner of his eyes: "Why do you feel that you are so free now?"

Wang Caozhi shook his head like a rattle: "Where are you? I'm busy... Hey, Sister Rong is here. You guys can chat while I pour you some tea."

Ouyang Rong frowned, suspecting that he heard wrongly: "What did you shout?"

Before he could ask more questions, Wang Caozhi had already run away.

Rong Zhen had an indifferent look on his face and walked into the tent in a hurry. However, when he arrived at the door, he faintly heard Wang Caozhi's silky and smooth address in front of Ouyang Lianghan.

The female historian immediately turned dark.

"Substitute! Ouyang Lianghan, take him away with you today!"

The first thing Rong Zhen did when he walked in was to issue a stern request, but Ouyang Rong hesitated.

At this time, Rong Zhen, who had a grim expression, looked at a memorial in his hand.

"A memorial to you and King Xunyang asking for help?"

"Um."

Ouyang Rong nodded, Rong Zhen's expression softened a little, as if he had barely forgotten what happened just now, and waved his hand:

"Okay, come with me. I have prepared the notes that I will submit. This time we will submit the letter together. I hope someone from Luoyang will come soon so that we can relax a little."

Ouyang Rong looked at the serious expression on Rong Zhen's face and nodded gently: "Okay."

The two of them went out side by side, went to the temporary office tent of the Overwatch Council, and found a censor stationed in the state.

At present, for the sake of safety and to facilitate the monitoring of the progress of the Donglin Giant Buddha, the Jiangzhou Supervisory Office has moved the entire organization to the Xunyang Grottoes construction site, where the female officials and the censors stationed in the state are temporarily working here...

After handing over the memorial, the two took a walk side by side, visited the Xunyang Grottoes, and observed the progress of the giant Buddha.

Ouyang Rong played with a string of sandalwood beads in his hand and made some calculations in his mind. If he worked hard from now on, the big Buddha might be finished in time for his aunt's birthday.

While calculating in their minds, the two of them arrived at the gate of the camp, and Rong Zhen sent Ouyang Rong away.

Suddenly, Wang Caozhi's enthusiastic voice came from outside the camp:

"When my sister drinks tea, she originally gave it to her brother-in-law, but it's all the same. We're a family..."

Rong Zhen couldn't help his chest heaving. With a straight face, he turned to Ouyang Rong and spoke in a firm tone: "Ouyang Lianghan, this person is talking nonsense. Don't follow suit..."

At this time, a fiery red figure led Wang Caozhi out and came to Ouyang Rong and Rong Zhen.

Wang Caozhi was leading Xie Lingjiang with enthusiasm, and the words he just said were also addressed to her.

Rong Zhen's unhappy expression suddenly disappeared without a trace. He stopped, turned his head, and seemed to be taking a leisurely look at the scenery of the nearby river bank.

Ouyang Rong walked forward with a curious look on his face: "Why are you here, little junior sister? What's the matter?"

"Can't you come if you have nothing to do?" Xie Ling Jiang asked with a calm face.

Without looking at the senior brother who looked helpless, she stopped where she was, with her red sleeves hanging down, looking around the Xunyang Grottoes construction site, and said:

"The progress looks pretty fast. I don't know which day it will be completed."

Ouyang Rong hesitated to speak, but Wang Caozhi quickly answered:

"Then I'm sure, with my brother-in-law here, I can capture the Donglin Buddha...Brother-in-law, please talk, I have something urgent to do."

Wang Caozhi turned around and turned his back to his two sisters, whom he could not offend. He gave Ouyang Rong a look that said, "I can only help my brother-in-law to block this sentence." Then he ran away.

Ouyang Rong's eyes twitched.

Xie Lingjiang didn't even look at Wang Caozhi's running back.

Rong Zhen glanced at the noble daughter of the Xie family in red.

Ouyang Rong walked over, handed over the tea that Wang Caozhi had just given to him, and asked in a warm voice: "You're here, why don't you take my junior sister to visit?"

"I won't visit anymore. It's too troublesome."

Xie Lingjiang pursed his lower lip and did not look at Rong Zhen, who was silent next to him. This time he said to Ouyang Rong straight to the point:

"Sister Guo'er went to see the senior brother. It seems there is something important."

Ouyang Rong was slightly startled.
