Chapter 534: 406. Bright and dark moves, the demeanor of a main wife
406. Bright and dark moves, the demeanor of a main wife
"Where is Xiao Shimei?"
Prince Xunyang Prince's Mansion, Magistrate Ouyang Rong just walked into the study and suddenly turned back to ask.
"Uh, Chenjun Xie niece seems to be unwell, she didn't come tonight, saying she has something to do. Let's discuss it first. Let the result of our discussion and arrangements be relayed back by Guo'er."
Li Su Xian and Li Su Dalang looked at each other and answered.
Magistrate Ouyang Rong was quiet for a while and looked around the study.
There were a few empty chairs in the study, which should have been left for them. In addition, the tea in the positions had been brewed, and I didn't know which of the mother and daughter poured it.
However, those who were lucky enough to enter this study to discuss matters had the blessing to taste the tea art of the Princess and the little Princess.
"Tanlang?"
Li Li Fusu saw Magistrate Ouyang Rong's somewhat silent and distracted expression and couldn't help but call out.
"Mm."
Magistrate Ouyang Rong woke up, walked into the study.
He didn't sit down, stood in front of everyone, picked up the tea, and took a sip first.
Li Su Xian asked with a worried face:
"Tanlang, before you came, I heard people say that your Jiangzhou Hall issued an announcement, saying that people should go out of Prince Xunyang City less recently, and it is not allowed to get close to Twin Peaks Peak, saying there is a danger of flood, and also saying that it may impact the Prince Xunyang Grottoes project, so construction is stopped for ten days. Is it true?"
Magistrate Ouyang Rong nodded:
"There is such a thing. The announcement was also drafted by me and issued by me."
"Tanlang, what does this mean?"
Everyone was puzzled.
Magistrate Ouyang Rong said softly:
"Rong Zhen mentioned a special plan to me a few days ago."
"Special plan? So today's things are all part of it?"
"Exactly."
Li Guo'er asked suddenly:
"Is the Great Buddha delayed for ten days, or will it land quietly within these ten days when the 'flood' comes and the government controls it?"
The study fell into silence.
Li Su Xian, Li Li Fusu, and Wei Mei reacted and looked at Magistrate Ouyang Rong's expression.
Only to see him say somewhat calmly:
"After I come back from that side, when the ten days are over, the situation of the Prince Xunyang Grottoes will be roughly settled. Prince, Crown Prince, little Princess, please wait at ease, I will not let you down."
Hearing the four words "settled," Li Guo'er understood and didn't ask any more.
Li Li Fusu frowned and thought.
Li Su Xian and Wei Mei looked at each other, their eyes a bit worried.
"Tanlang, pay attention to safety. Will you not be able to return to the city for almost ten days this time?"
"Mm, during this period, the Twin Peaks Peak side will be sealed off. Not even a fly can fly out, and people naturally cannot go out."
"Okay, Tanlang, pay attention to safety."
Just then, Magistrate Ouyang Rong curiously pointed to the flower and bird screen inside the study.
The flower and bird screen vaguely divided the study into two halves.
He asked curiously: "Who sent this screen? Would the Prince buy this?"
Li Guo'er nodded:
"It was newly sent to my father by this Princess. How is it, does it look good?"
Magistrate Ouyang Rong shook his head without answering, and said calmly:
"When I am not here, Yan Liulang will be responsible for reporting to the Prince and understanding the situation in the city.
"Besides that, I have also arranged a retreat. I have secretly prepared a boat at Prince Xunyang Ferry, and the retreat route has also been planned, to facilitate taking you away in case of emergency..."
Magistrate Ouyang Rong talked eloquently, and Li Su Xian, Li Guo'er, and others couldn't help but look sideways.
"Finally, there is one more thing."
Magistrate Ouyang Rong put down the teacup and spoke.
Li Su Xian seemed to know what the previous sentence was about, and he continued to ask:
"Please speak, what other arrangements does Tanlang have?"
"Transfer Li Li Congshan and Mistress Miao Zhen away. These two cannot stay in the Prince Xunyang Prince's Mansion, especially when I am not here."
Everyone frowned and looked at Magistrate Ouyang Rong, who was a bit bold:
"But they are considered to be under the imperial order. Is it inappropriate to transfer them away by force?"
Magistrate Ouyang Rong said softly:
"What's inappropriate? Even if you ask Shenjing Luoyang, it will take time on the road, leaving plenty of time for us to find a suitable excuse.
"Well, let's transfer them away tonight. I have already brought the Prefectural Magistrate's official seal, and the Prince has also taken out the Prince's seal. We will distribute the handwritten letters drafted by ourselves. How dare they disobey the order? If they don't obey, there is something wrong, and naturally there are ways to deal with them.
"This matter, actually I discussed it with Official Rong in advance, and one point has been determined: this time the blockade of Twin Peaks Peak, she can tacitly agree that Miao, Li Li Congshan, and others return to the grottoes, just like me. In addition, the time I go over can be slightly tolerant..."
Magistrate Ouyang Rong finished speaking in detail.
Li Su Xian's family listened carefully.
After speaking, Magistrate Ouyang Rong put down the teacup and said goodbye:
"It's getting late, I have to report to the Prince Xunyang Grottoes tomorrow morning, I'll go back first."
"Okay."
"Tanlang, pay attention to the night road."
Rushing for time, he didn't sit down from beginning to end.
Everyone watched his slender back go away.
"Tanlang, wait a moment."
Li Su Dalang suddenly called Magistrate Ouyang Rong.
The latter's back paused slightly, without looking back:
"What's the matter?"
Li Su Dalang stared at Magistrate Ouyang Rong's back for a while and asked:
"You going over this time, stationed at the Prince Xunyang Grottoes, is it also very dangerous? Might you face those rebels of the Tiannan Tiannan Jianghu at any time?"
Magistrate Ouyang Rong shook his head:
"Small matter, what should come will come.
"Su Dalang, you and Xiao Shimei, and Daoist Lu stay in the Prince's Mansion well, protect the Prince and Princess, don't worry about things outside, I am here."
Li Su Dalang knew what his good friend meant by letting him protect, took a deep breath, words surged to his throat, ready to speak, but was pulled by Li Guo'er beside him.
Magistrate Ouyang Rong strode away from the Prince's Mansion.
Only the people with heavy hearts remained in the study.
Magistrate Ouyang Rong walked out of the Prince's Mansion gate, and before getting into the carriage, glanced at the big red lantern at the door.
He hesitated, but didn't go to find her.
He glanced at the deep night, lowered his eyes slightly, and boarded the carriage.
He took out a full sword box, placed it across his knees, and sat withered.
At some point, he murmured softly:
"Emperor Wen Huang... Emperor Wen Huang... what is Emperor Wen Huang... where was the Lotus Boat Song missing from the sword art hidden by that senior..."
Before long, Magistrate Ouyang Rong looked toward the distant Prince Xunyang Grottoes, and his eyes lit up again.
"Go back to the Huaiye Lane residence first."
"Yes, Young Master."
"He's gone, why don't you come out?"
In the empty study.
Only a figure of a little girl in a light pink dress with plum blossom makeup remained.
Li Su Xian and others had all left.
Li Guo'er lowered her head to tidy up the tea bowl while speaking.
Only to see a little girl in red walk out from behind that screen.
Li Guo'er saw Chenjun Xie Chenjun Xie Lingjiang's face a bit dazed, and didn't know what she was thinking.
Li Guo'er asked calmly:
"You still don't see him? He's about to leave."
Chenjun Xie Chenjun Xie Lingjiang said: "Just going to the Prince Xunyang Grottoes, not far."
Li Guo'er pointed out:
"But it's very dangerous. Who knows if the two sides will fight within these ten days? He is left there alone."
Li Guo'er glanced at the jade hand that the Chenjun Xie family sister placed on her abdomen when sitting, trembling slightly. On her face, which wanted to speak but stopped, a trace of worry appeared, mixed with those disappointed and regretful expressions... the expression on her face became more and more complicated.
"If you want to go, go. Hesitating, even if you believe he can return safely, but what if? Can you bet?"
"This damn thing between you two, this Princess didn't want to say more, but I just can't stand you twisted people, doing things in a twisted way, hesitating, how can you be so tangled? Love is love, hate is hate, isn't it very simple?"
Chenjun Xie Chenjun Xie Lingjiang pursed her lips:
"Don't want to see him."
Li Guo'er praised: "Good, then don't see him, never see him for a lifetime, very good."
"No, just don't want to see him now, I'm afraid I can't help but beat him."
Li Guo'er nodded again: "Good, don't see him now, talk about it later."
Chenjun Xie Chenjun Xie Lingjiang suddenly asked with a sense of loss:
"You say, should I have seen him just now?"
Li Guo'er's pretty face completely collapsed:
"Do whatever you want."
Chenjun Xie Chenjun Xie Lingjiang shook her head: "You don't understand."
"I don't understand? I... also right, I don't understand men, but I understand how to make my heart comfortable."
"How to make it comfortable?"
Li Guo'er waved her sleeves indifferently:
"I'm different from you. I actually think that it's okay for a man to have a few concubines. In history, which of those great men didn't have three wives and four concubines? But it didn't prevent them from leaving their names in history. From this, it can be seen that excellent men always have many beauties, and peach blossoms everywhere also side-verify that they are indeed excellent, otherwise why would so many women fight for them...
"Of course, I'm just saying it casually, I don't know if it's right, I just think so, I naturally feel more tolerant about this, regard it as usual, and instead feel..."
"Feel what?"
"You are a bit petty. Besides, that Sister Xiuniang girl came first. Strictly speaking, you met Magistrate Ouyang Magistrate Ouyang Lianghan later. What is there to fight for?"
Chenjun Xie Chenjun Xie Lingjiang immediately said: "I didn't blame Sister Xiuniang sister."
"Then who do you blame? Magistrate Ouyang Magistrate Ouyang Lianghan."
Chenjun Xie Chenjun Xie Lingjiang didn't answer, was quiet for a while, and said softly:
"What you said has a bit of truth."
Li Guo'er asked with a smile: "Only a bit?"
Chenjun Xie Chenjun Xie Lingjiang pursed her lips and looked at the distant night sky.
At this time, she heard the little girl in plum blossom makeup beside her muttering:
"Actually, every time I listen to you talk about these, I feel that many of them are your own twisting. Magistrate Ouyang Magistrate Ouyang Lianghan didn't do much, but those attentive measures toward you look like he is a good man..."
Chenjun Xie Chenjun Xie Lingjiang asked: "What did you say?"
"Nothing."
Li Guo'er clapped her hands and left with a twist of her waist.
Only Chenjun Xie Chenjun Xie Lingjiang was left sitting withered.
Before dawn, Magistrate Ouyang Rong arrived at the quiet courtyard.
At night, he returned to the Huaiye Lane residence, made arrangements, and let Aunt and others pack their luggage in advance, ready to follow the Prince's Mansion people to leave Prince Xunyang City and take a boat to leave at any time.
Magistrate Ouyang Rong took a deep breath.
Stepped into the quiet courtyard.
"Ah ah?"
Zhao Zhao Qingxiu was in the room, and for his early morning arrival, she seemed a bit puzzled.
Magistrate Ouyang Rong smiled and accompanied her to eat breakfast porridge.
He didn't mention the Prince Xunyang Grottoes at all.
"I might go out to do something, I'll be back in about ten days, Sister Xiuniang wait for me well, Lady Pei will come over to accompany you every day."
"Mm."
After a pause, Zhao Zhao Qingxiu took the initiative to write:
【It's been several days, how is Chenjun Xie sister? Did Tanlang talk to her, did you coax her well】
Magistrate Ouyang Rong was silent for a moment and said:
"Soon, she is busy recently, and I am busy too. After I finish the things in front of me, okay?"
"Mm."
Zhao Zhao Qingxiu responded, her little face showing curiosity.
【What is so urgent, leaving immediately】
Magistrate Ouyang Rong looked at Sister Xiuniang who seemed ignorant, and after a while, he picked up a piece of food for her and smiled lightly:
"Small matter, it will be easy after finishing it, later is Aunt's birthday banquet..."
Zhao Zhao Qingxiu didn't ask any more and listened carefully.
Before long, after settling Sister Xiuniang, Magistrate Ouyang Rong left the courtyard and walked away with big strides.
The courtyard fell silent.
After dawn, the first beam of daylight fell on the Great River.
Zhao Zhao Qingxiu tidied up in the courtyard, washed clothes, carried a wooden bucket, and prepared to go to the clothesline to dry them.
At this time, she suddenly heard a rhythmic knocking on the door.
Zhao Zhao Qingxiu immediately walked over and opened the courtyard door.
A familiar female scent rushed toward her.
Zhao Zhao Qingxiu couldn't help but tilt her head.
"Yi ya ya?"
"Mm, it's me." After a pause: "Has sister eaten?"
Chenjun Xie Chenjun Xie Lingjiang at the door said the first sentence.
Zhao Zhao Qingxiu immediately nodded: "Mm."
"Then I haven't eaten, you make me some."
Saying that, Chenjun Xie Chenjun Xie Lingjiang lowered her head and walked into the courtyard, not polite at all.
But Zhao Zhao Qingxiu was pleasantly surprised and walked quickly to the kitchen.
"Mm mm."
Chenjun Xie Chenjun Xie Lingjiang couldn't help but urge: "Be careful, don't fall, forget it, or I'll do it."
Zhao Zhao Qingxiu naturally wouldn't let Chenjun Xie sister cook herself, and gently pushed her out of the kitchen.
The latter didn't insist either.
When Zhao Zhao Qingxiu brought out the hot porridge, she noticed that this Chenjun Xie sister seemed to be helping her dry clothes.
Zhao Zhao Qingxiu stopped her steps silently.
Chenjun Xie Chenjun Xie Lingjiang had her back to her, tiptoeing to dry clothes, and suddenly asked:
"Did he leave?"
"Mm."
Zhao Zhao Qingxiu felt that Chenjun Xie sister stopped talking, as if she was a bit disappointed and... regretful.
After a while, Zhao Zhao Qingxiu heard her tone of regaining spirit again.
"Hung clothes for you, come, let's eat porridge."
The two women sat at the table, Chenjun Xie Chenjun Xie Lingjiang lowered her head to drink porridge, tasting the familiar pickled radish from East Forest Temple. This was brought back by Magistrate Ouyang Rong from Long City last time.
The girl in red ate halfway, suddenly raised her hand, and brushed the hair beside the ear of the blind girl in white skirt.
Zhao Zhao Qingxiu was a bit shy, but immediately heard her light words:
"These days, I will come to help you collect clothes, but when he comes back, don't mention my matter, treat it as if I haven't been here, know?"
"These past few days, I have come to help you collect your clothes, but when he returns, do not mention my presence; act as if I never came, do you understand?"
Gradually, the two women who were pulling sleeves below held hands together.
Chenjun Xie Chenjun Xie Lingjiang turned her face away.
This time, she didn't shake it off. ===== CHAPTER 535 =====
This time, she did not shake him off.
