Chapter 514: 386. Chenjun Xie Chenjun Xie Lingjiang: You Must Serve Tea and Change Your Address to Call Me Sister

386. Chenjun Xie Chenjun Xie Lingjiang: You Must Serve Tea and Change Your Address to Call Me Sister

"The person is gone, what are you looking at?"

At the entrance of the staircase, Chenjun Xie Chenjun Xie Lingjiang looked straight ahead, her hand on Magistrate Ouyang Rong's waist, and asked softly.

Magistrate Ouyang Rong didn't change his head-turning action and didn't speak.

Chenjun Xie Chenjun Xie Lingjiang frowned and turned her head, but bumped into Magistrate Ouyang Rong's gaze.

Magistrate Ouyang Rong had been looking at her side profile without blinking.

Chenjun Xie Chenjun Xie Lingjiang couldn't help but ask:

"You... what are you looking at?"

Magistrate Ouyang Rong continued to stare for a while, then suddenly opened his mouth:

"Really beautiful."

"What is really beautiful?"

"Xiao Shimei is really beautiful tonight."

Chenjun Xie Chenjun Xie Lingjiang held one cheek with her jade hand, lowered her head slightly, and chided:

"Guo'er insisted on drawing my eyebrows and added some makeup. I am not beautiful; it is the makeup that is beautiful."

Magistrate Ouyang Rong shook his head:

"It's just icing on the cake. Xiao Shimei's bare face is the most beautiful, like a lotus rising from clear water."

"Oily-mouthed and slippery-tongued, Ru Shixiong really knows how to coax young ladies to be happy..."

Magistrate Ouyang Rong nodded solemnly: "I love to tell the truth. If you don't believe me, call Yan Liulang up to ask, is it not so."

Chenjun Xie Chenjun Xie Lingjiang hummed lightly: "Yan Liulang has also been spoiled by you."

Magistrate Ouyang Rong didn't answer, leaned closer, and asked strangely:

"Why is it so fragrant?"

"I came after bathing and washed my hair, so I was a bit slow."

"Why wash your hair for no reason? It's easy to catch a cold at night."

"I haven't bathed for several days, I've been busy cultivating recently."

"Actually, it's all the same, Xiao Shimei is clean even without washing."

Chenjun Xie Chenjun Xie Lingjiang tried hard to suppress the corners of her lips and said with a cold face:

"If Ru Shixiong only has these words, then I will go back. I still have to meditate and cultivate."

Magistrate Ouyang Rong coughed.

Chenjun Xie Chenjun Xie Lingjiang walked over and tidied up the wine set Rong Zhen had drunk from.

Seeing this, Magistrate Ouyang Rong reacted:

"Wait, I'll call someone."

"No need, don't call outsiders, I'll tidy it up."

Chenjun Xie Chenjun Xie Lingjiang stopped him.

Magistrate Ouyang Rong looked back and saw Chenjun Xie Chenjun Xie Lingjiang kneeling by the tea table, her face serious, tidying up the table.

Seeing her virtuous appearance.

Combined with the fact that she maintained a dignified appearance even though she was deliberately trying to anger Rong Zhen, a warm current flowed in Magistrate Ouyang Rong's heart.

Magistrate Ouyang Rong walked over and sat down beside Chenjun Xie Chenjun Xie Lingjiang.

"Lady Historian only drank one cup, I didn't force her."

Chenjun Xie Chenjun Xie Lingjiang smiled lightly:

"She got this drunk after just one cup?"

Magistrate Ouyang Rong shook his head:

"Maybe it's an allergy or some other small ailment. I heard her say that drinking makes her heart beat faster."

"Does Ru Shixiong believe this?"

"Better to believe it than not."

"Anyway, I have a cleanliness obsession. I won't drink the wine that she has drunk."

"Okay."

Magistrate Ouyang Rong nodded, not annoyed.

Chenjun Xie Chenjun Xie Lingjiang glanced at him sideways, and seeing her Ru Shixiong doing it himself, he poured three cups of wine without saying a word and drank them in one gulp.

After drinking three cups.

Chenjun Xie Chenjun Xie Lingjiang frowned and asked: "What are you doing?"

Magistrate Ouyang Rong smiled and answered: "Toasting, I'll punish myself with three cups first."

"Hmph."

Chenjun Xie Chenjun Xie Lingjiang averted her gaze.

She reached out and opened the exquisite wooden comb and fresh flowers in the bundle.

"This small-leaf red sandalwood is very expensive."

"It is quite expensive. This month's salary is gone, but when I saw it, I just felt it suited you, and I couldn't help but buy it."

Chenjun Xie Chenjun Xie Lingjiang didn't speak, but her movements of touching the comb became gentler.

Magistrate Ouyang Rong, who was kneeling opposite, went to pour wine again, but stood up without a sound and sat beside Chenjun Xie Chenjun Xie Lingjiang.

His joining squeezed her into the seat.

The latter glared at him.

"You..."

However, when the thick-skinned Magistrate Ouyang Rong calmly put his arm around her waist, Chenjun Xie Chenjun Xie Lingjiang didn't make a sound, keeping quiet as she was pulled into his arms.

Magistrate Ouyang Rong raised a cup of wine and spoke fluently:

"Three things.

"First, on a night with a bright moon and beautiful flowers, in a time of beautiful scenery, we should drink together.

"Second, Xiao Shimei has worked hard these days, helping to take care of and accompany Aunt. Like tonight, you can still tolerate Ru Shixiong's carelessness... I should punish myself with a drink.

"Third, I reached Grade 7 today, we should drink another cup."

Originally, when she heard the first two things, Chenjun Xie Chenjun Xie Lingjiang was calm, raising her chin slightly, but when she heard the third thing, she immediately raised her head.

"Ru Shixiong reached Grade 7?"

"Hmm."

"When did this happen?"

"Tonight, just now, I'll tell you about it later."

Chenjun Xie Chenjun Xie Lingjiang's small face was pleasantly surprised, and Magistrate Ouyang Rong, who was originally drinking one cup for every thing he said, had his third cup snatched away by her and drunk in one gulp.

"Grade 7 is a big deal, it should be celebrated."

Chenjun Xie Chenjun Xie Lingjiang beamed with joy and clapped her hands together beside her lotus-like small face.

Magistrate Ouyang Rong looked at her expression.

Xiao Shimei was happy and proud for him from the bottom of her heart.

Magistrate Ouyang Rong grabbed her palm, and Chenjun Xie Chenjun Xie Lingjiang leaned into his arms obediently, their clasped hands changing to ten fingers interlocked.

One in a green Confucian robe, one in a vermilion dress, leaning against each other under the moon.

Magistrate Ouyang Rong raised their interlocked hands, mobilized the spiritual energy in his dantian, and a flush of red flowed through the meridians of his hand.

Chenjun Xie Chenjun Xie Lingjiang saw it and smiled: "Thinking about it carefully, Ru Shixiong's Grade 7 is not slow, it's even too fast."

Magistrate Ouyang Rong shook his head:

"This Grade 7 only counts as entry-level, temporarily stopping without moving forward, I have to find the remaining incomplete sword art."

Chenjun Xie Chenjun Xie Lingjiang was puzzled: "What do you mean?"

Magistrate Ouyang Rong looked at a small notebook on the table.

It was left behind by Rong Zhen before she left, thrown on the table without being taken away.

Magistrate Ouyang Rong took the small notebook, flipped through it, pointed at them in front of Chenjun Xie Chenjun Xie Lingjiang, and told the ins and outs of tonight's events.

Of course, the cultivation improvement caused by the wonderful dual cultivation with Xiu Niang was temporarily omitted by him.

The more Chenjun Xie Chenjun Xie Lingjiang heard, the more surprised her expression became.

"The old musician invited by the Astrological Bureau is actually a Sword-Wielder, and what he taught is also a sword art. Rong Zhen looking for him, doesn't that mean she also wants to learn the sword art? Could it be that Rong Zhen wants to be a Sword-Wielder?"

Magistrate Ouyang Rong shook his head: "Probably not, at least not the path of a Sword-Wielder like me, because she is not Grade 9, unless she abandons her cultivation, but the price is too high. Now, on the eve of the Great Buddha landing, she definitely cannot do that."

"Then why?" Chenjun Xie Chenjun Xie Lingjiang asked: "You also said it, Rong Zhen wants to get this zither piece, which is the sword art, before the Great Buddha lands, which means she can cultivate it immediately. What is she trying to do?"

Magistrate Ouyang Rong pondered for a moment:

"It might be related to the Great Buddha."

"The Great Buddha?"

"That's right, I suspect the Donglin Great Buddha involves some formation of the Astrological Bureau. Rong Lady Historian's deployment at the Prince Xunyang Grotto is all related to this formation, and the sword art and Senior Yu are also a part of it."

Chenjun Xie Chenjun Xie Lingjiang wanted to speak but stopped: "Then doesn't that mean..."

Magistrate Ouyang Rong suddenly asked: "What does Xiao Shimei think, which Ding Sword does this incomplete new sword art belong to?"

Chenjun Xie Chenjun Xie Lingjiang didn't think for too long and looked at Magistrate Ouyang Rong.

"Emperor Wen Huang."

"Emperor Wen Huang."

The two said in unison.

Chenjun Xie Chenjun Xie Lingjiang analyzed: "This old musician comes from the Shangyang Palace, and Emperor Wen Huang is in the Shenjing Luoyang Imperial Palace. This was mentioned by Uncle Li before."

"That's right."

Magistrate Ouyang Rong nodded and said again:

"I remember hearing before that Lady Historian Rong came to Prince Xunyang City for a special quota."

"Special quota?"

"Hmm, Lin Cheng mentioned it. Of course, it might have been misleading me at the time, but looking at his relationship with Lady Historian Rong, it doesn't look like a lie. After getting along for so long, I can feel that Lady Historian Rong has hidden some things and didn't tell me truthfully."

Chenjun Xie Chenjun Xie Lingjiang asked: "Is it that she doesn't trust Ru Shixiong?"

Magistrate Ouyang Rong shook his head: "No, she didn't even hide the zither piece involving the sword art... I think there are only two possibilities. First, it really involves the Astrological Bureau's confidentiality clause and cannot be leaked. Second, Lady Historian Rong has selfish motives."

"Selfish motives?"

Chenjun Xie Chenjun Xie Lingjiang hummed lightly, her fingers flipping through the book pages, playing with them, and said leisurely:

"There are indeed selfish motives."

She cast a meaningful glance at Magistrate Ouyang Rong.

The latter frowned: "Not this selfish motive."

"Hmm-hum."

Chenjun Xie Chenjun Xie Lingjiang didn't commit and pouted:

"Then does Ru Shixiong still teach her the zither piece?"

"Teach."

Magistrate Ouyang Rong nodded without thinking:

"I promised. However, whether she can comprehend this sword art, I don't guarantee."

"Her talent is not good?"

"Not really, but I think it's unlikely."

"Why is that?"

"Although I don't know what that special quota is and how she will use it, Lady Historian Rong is obviously too impatient. Comprehending the sword art is not something you can do just by being impatient."

Chenjun Xie Chenjun Xie Lingjiang saw Magistrate Ouyang Rong's expression was somewhat emotional.

"That's true, not everyone has Ru Shixiong's talent."

She nodded lightly.

Magistrate Ouyang Rong smiled embarrassedly.

The two cherished each other for a while.

He suddenly opened his mouth:

"Today I went to find Fellow Daoist Lu and calculated our birth dates."

Chenjun Xie Chenjun Xie Lingjiang was stunned: "What do you mean?"

Magistrate Ouyang Rong's gaze didn't move:

"After the Great Buddha is built, I estimate we should leave with the Prince's Mansion. I promised you before that once the Prince Xunyang City matter is over, we will get engaged when we go to Shenjing Luoyang."

Chenjun Xie Chenjun Xie Lingjiang's pretty face flushed red, and she lowered her head:

"Oh, so it's not drawing a pie..."

"Of course not."

Magistrate Ouyang Rong said softly: "Lu Ya said our birth dates are good. I will tell Aunt. When it's her birthday, I will also invite your aunt, and then we will talk about this matter and let the elders start negotiating."

Chenjun Xie Chenjun Xie Lingjiang said in a low voice: "Okay, you make the decision."

Magistrate Ouyang Rong held her hand tighter.

Chenjun Xie Chenjun Xie Lingjiang also held his hand tightly.

As if discovering something fun, the two palms played by loosening and tightening.

Chenjun Xie Chenjun Xie Lingjiang muttered and asked:

"Why did Ru Shixiong suddenly bring this up? Weren't you not in a hurry before?"

Magistrate Ouyang Rong said softly:

"I am not in a hurry, but someone is quite in a hurry."

"You... you are the one in a hurry, I am not."

"Oh, not in a hurry, huh? Then you have repeatedly mentioned Su Dalang's marriage in front of me recently and asked me about various views. Are you sure this isn't hinting?"

"Only a ghost would hint at you. I don't care if you get engaged or not."

Magistrate Ouyang Rong laughed, then said solemnly:

"Xiao Shimei agrees with Su Dalang's reason for refusing marriage, not wanting to get married early, and having conflicts between the legal wife and concubines later... I went back and thought about it, and found that my previous view was a bit hasty, and I quite agree with Su Dalang on this.

"Not to mention whether Su Dalang has the selfish motive of waiting for someone, the rights of the legal wife do need to be defended. Getting married to a concubine early is really inappropriate for his status as the Prince's heir. If he can ascend the throne in the future and reach that step, then the current concubine will be the future Imperial Consort. This is not a trivial matter for an ordinary family, but a major event for the Imperial family, which needs to be considered carefully."

Chenjun Xie Chenjun Xie Lingjiang was stunned: "That is the principle, but Ru Shixiong thinks further."

Magistrate Ouyang Rong said calmly:

"So the Su Dalang incident, summarized, is: determine the legal wife first, and talk about the concubine later."

Chenjun Xie Chenjun Xie Lingjiang immediately agreed:

"Hmm, that's the way it is."

Magistrate Ouyang Rong narrowed his eyes slightly, drank a sip of wine, and glanced at the Xiao Shimei who was happy after their views were unified.

Don't look at them just eating melons and chatting about Su Dalang's refusal of marriage.

But discussing other people's gossip between lovers is never really caring about other people's business, but using this to gain insight into the other party's concepts and then expressing one's own attitude...

This is a low-cost way to resolve potential future conflicts.

And just now, Magistrate Ouyang Rong's attitude compromised, and he took the initiative to propose the engagement and took action.

Chenjun Xie Chenjun Xie Lingjiang couldn't help but drink a few more cups of wine, her face flushed red, and she looked very happy tonight.

She flipped through the small notebook aimlessly, looked at Rong Zhen's handwriting, and said unexpectedly:

"Speaking of which, this Rong Zhen is really not bad to you. This time Ru Shixiong was able to get the sword art and promote to Grade 7, she also has a share of the credit, which really cannot be denied.

"It was the same before, repeatedly showing her cards to Ru Shixiong... If I were a man, I would inevitably have compassion for her."

Magistrate Ouyang Rong frowned: "What do you mean?"

Chenjun Xie Chenjun Xie Lingjiang looked up, observed Magistrate Ouyang Rong's expression, and asked:

"Does Ru Shixiong have any thoughts about her at all?"

Magistrate Ouyang Rong shook his head:

"Are you kidding? If she knew I was the owner of the Butterfly-Loving-Flower, she would swallow me alive. Some things were impossible from the beginning, why create such evil? It is simply insulting people.

"However, I admit that I have a sense of guilt toward Lady Historian Rong because I hid it from her from the beginning."

"So Ru Shixiong has been able to tolerate her temperament all this time?"

"You could say that."

"Is it possible that she has already guessed it?"

Magistrate Ouyang Rong frowned: "Xiao Shimei, don't scare me."

"Just saying it's possible."

Magistrate Ouyang Rong was thinking about something with knitted brows, as if he had been aroused by worry.

Chenjun Xie Chenjun Xie Lingjiang glanced at him and said with a smile that wasn't a smile:

"Actually, it's not impossible for her to have selfish motives. If she has this willingness, you can tell her then. It's not that I don't agree, but there is one condition."

Before Magistrate Ouyang Rong could open his mouth, she smiled and narrowed her eyes:

"She must serve tea in public and change her address to call me sister when she enters the door."

Magistrate Ouyang Rong had a headache.

Why was she still struggling with this matter that had nothing to do with anything?

Not to mention whether such a possibility existed.

Even if Lady Historian Rong had this idea in a moment of confusion.

But Xiao Shimei's words were clearly making things difficult.

She knew that it was 100% impossible for Lady Historian Rong to do this, impossible to lower her proud head, so she said that.

However, I don't know what he thought of, but Magistrate Ouyang Rong suddenly nodded:

"Okay. So Xiao Shimei is so generous."

He joked:

"Even Lady Historian Rong can be accepted, if it were other women, wouldn't it be even more okay."

Chenjun Xie Chenjun Xie Lingjiang nodded subconsciously: "Hmm..."

She paused, changed to a slightly forceful nod, and elongated her tone:

"It's okay, if you have the ability, try it."

Magistrate Ouyang Rong nodded: "Okay, try it and... die."

Halfway through, Chenjun Xie Chenjun Xie Lingjiang raised her head and looked at him without blinking. Magistrate Ouyang Rong lowered his head, his forehead against hers.

The two stared at each other with big eyes.

Then, they looked at each other and smiled.

They leaned against each other quietly for a while.

At some point, Chenjun Xie Chenjun Xie Lingjiang's low voice came:

"Move your hand away, don't, don't pinch anymore, it itches..."

Magistrate Ouyang Rong maintained the action of looking up at the moon:

"Not moving."

She endured the numbness and spat:

"Didn't you say you were admiring the moon?"

He said solemnly:

"Yeah, isn't this the moon? And there are two of them."

Chenjun Xie Chenjun Xie Lingjiang: "...?"
