The vermilion wall also makes people's skin white.
When Ouyang Rong walked into the backyard and saw Zhao Qingxiu, she was standing under the pear tree beside the red wall, tiptoeing from behind, reaching out to touch the pink and white pear blossoms on the branches.
The red wall makes Zhao Qingxiu and Lihua look very white and dazzling.
It's eye-opening.
"Long Ling——"
Sensing movement behind her, Zhao Qingxiu turned her head, and the ice-white jade hairpin on her head made a familiar crisp sound.
Before she could say anything, Ouyang Rong had already rushed over and hugged Zhao Qingxiu upright.
Under her expression of surprise and surprise, Ouyang Rong held her in his arms and ran around in the courtyard, spinning several times.
"Long Ling—Long Ling—"
The icy white jade hairpin on Zhao Qingxiu's head started to beat again and again, and occasionally it was a little higher than the red wall.
The blue-gold ribbon danced in the evening breeze.
"Ahhh."
She is a little shy.
When Ouyang Rong calmed down and put Zhao Qingxiu down, she raised her little face and wrote one stroke after another:
【Tanlang, I miss you】
Ouyang Rong wiped his face, suppressed the smile on his face, and said seriously:
"I miss you as well."
The two hugged each other a little tighter.
Zhao Qingxiu continued to write:
[Sister Xie said you were busy. It’s been almost ten days since you left. Has Tanlang finished your work?]
Ouyang Rong nodded and said seriously:
"It's over, I can rest assured to accompany you from now on."
Zhao Qingxiu wrote softly: [Well, there is also Sister Xie, I also want to accompany Sister Xie]
"good."
Ouyang Rong looked around the empty yard and asked again:
"Where's the junior sister? Didn't she come to your place?"
[Sister Xie just left. We were having lunch here when Tan Lang came a step late]
Ouyang Rong was startled for a moment and nodded:
"Okay. By the way, since I've been away for a few days, have you had that nightmare again?"
Zhao Qingxiu's face was calm and she shook her head.
Ouyang Rong breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to lead her back into the house.
After entering the door, he found that the tables and cabinets in the main room were a little messy and asked:
"Why is it so chaotic? Did Junior Sister come in to rest?"
Zhao Qingxiu shook his head.
[No, but Sister Xie said she wanted to see the lottery, so I showed it to her]
Ouyang Rong was stunned: "Sign? What kind of sign?"
[It’s the King of Lotteries. I got it at Chengtian Temple last time, and Tanlang read it to me later... I told Sister Xie about it, and she said she wanted to see it]
Ouyang Rong suddenly remembered that it was the red sign that he "didn't even look at, opened his mouth to sign out" last time.
It seems that the embroiderer has been keeping it.
His face became slightly reserved.
But seeing Zhao Qingxiu's happy and joyful smile, Ouyang Rong didn't mention it any more.
After a while, Ouyang Rong looked at the sky and prepared to leave:
"Let's do this for today, and I'll come see you tomorrow, how about..."
Just as he was about to leave, Zhao Qingxiu grabbed his sleeves, pointed to the kitchen, and trotted in. After a while, he brought out a bowl of hot noodles for Ouyang Rong.
"This is……"
Zhao Qingxiu wrote with a sweet face:
[Sister Xie said that she wanted me to make some noodles. She first took them to the Huaiye Lane mansion and let Aunt Zhen taste them. But she didn’t tell her that I made them first. She wanted to try Aunt Zhen’s taste first.]
Ouyang Rong was speechless.
Immediately, with Zhao Qingxiu's expectant expression, she also ate two large bowls of hot noodles.
Before leaving, Ouyang Rong asked calmly:
"Our red sign, did the junior sister say anything after reading it?"
Zhao Qingxiu nodded immediately. Under Ouyang Rong's nervous expression, she smiled and wrote on his palm:
[Sister Xie said softly after reading it, they are the beautiful couple of gods and goddesses]
Ouyang Rong was a little silent.
After dinner in the quiet courtyard, Ouyang Rong immediately rushed back to the Huaiye Lane mansion without stopping, wanting to meet Xie Lingjiang.
As soon as he walked into the hall of his house, he saw Zhen Shuyuan arranging flowers. He couldn't help but ask:
"Auntie, where is my junior sister?"
"Hey, Tanlang, you're back!"
When Zhen Shuyuan saw Ouyang Rong, she immediately dropped the bouquet in her hand, lifted up her floor-length skirt, and stepped forward to greet him.
Ouyang Rong asked again: "Is the junior sister not here?"
Zhen Shuyuan groped around her nephew's body with some courtesy. After checking that he was fine, she breathed a sigh of relief:
"Huanwan has been gone for a while. I just brought a bowl of hot noodles to me in the evening. Not to mention, they are quite delicious. She said that when I wait for my birthday, I will eat this kind of longevity noodles. Huanyuan is really thoughtful.
Already..."
Zhen Shuyuan was full of praise.
Ouyang Rong didn't answer the call and immediately turned around and went out.
"Hey, where did Tanlang go? Why did he go out right after he came back? Could it be that the floor at home is hot for my feet..."
Ouyang Rong did not respond and left the house again regardless of his own safety.
He ordered:
"Go to Prince Xunyang's Mansion."
"Yes, Master."
Less than half an hour later.
Xunyang Prince's Mansion.
Ouyang Rong entered directly without saying hello to Li Xian and others this time.
He rushed to the junior sister's boudoir, but still missed it.
Xie Lingjiang is not here.
At this time, a maid passed by and said:
"Miss Xie went out not long after she came back. Before leaving, she went to Her Royal Highness the Princess's yard."
Ouyang Rong immediately realized that the junior sister must have known about his return from Li Guo'er.
Ouyang Rong couldn't help laughing.
What kind of fate do these two have today? They have always been in conflict.
He turned around and left immediately, boarding the waiting carriage by the stable at the back door of the palace:
"Go back to Sophora Leaf Alley."
"Yes, sir..."
"etc."
"What's wrong, sir?"
"Put me down and drive back first."
"Master, won't you go back?"
"Go back, I...walk back."
Ali was puzzled, but he didn't ask any more questions.
After a while, Ouyang Rong went out and rushed towards the Huaiye Lane mansion after Ali, who was working diligently, was sent away.
Half an hour later.
On a street near the Huaiye Lane residence, Ouyang Rong finally got his wish and saw the beautiful figure in red.
Ouyang Rong's prediction was correct, and the junior sister went out to look for him again.
However, when he looked from a distance, he found that the back of his junior sister was a little strange. She was standing on the street quite far away from the Huaiye Lane residence, looking at the Huaiye Lane residence from a distance, but never took a step to knock on the door.
But it was useless even if the junior sister knocked on the door, Ouyang Rong was not at home at all.
Just when Ouyang Rong was about to approach and shout, he suddenly saw that the beautiful figure in red in front of him turned around and did not go to the Huaiye Lane mansion to knock on the door, but seemed to be returning to the palace.
Ouyang Rong couldn't help but rub his face and muttered:
"I almost missed it again."
He immediately went forward to greet him and met Xie Lingjiang face to face at the corner of the street.
"Little junior sister."
Ouyang Rong smiled.
Xie Lingjiang's first reaction when he saw him was to turn around and leave, preparing to avoid him who was blocking the way.
Ouyang Rong followed him relentlessly.
"Junior sister, why don't you go in?"
Xie Lingjiang didn't answer and walked in front.
Ouyang Rong pursed his lips and suddenly said:
"You were not there when we were discussing things in the palace in the morning... I went to Xiu Niang's yard in the evening and missed you. Xiu Niang said that you brought longevity noodles for Aunt Zhen to eat. I just hurried home and still didn't catch up with you.
…”
He started talking as if talking about common things.
The fiery red figure in front suddenly stopped.
Ouyang Rong immediately stepped forward, took her hand, and looked at her.
Xie Lingjiang looked straight ahead.
Ouyang Rong smiled happily.
Xie Ling Jiang Leng asked:
"why are you laughing?"
He looked left and right:
"Looks like I'm getting fatter."
Xie Lingjiang immediately stared at him and patted Ouyang Rong on the shoulder angrily:
"nonsense."
Ouyang Rong smiled even happier.
Realizing that he was deliberately provoking her to talk, Xie Lingjiang immediately turned his eyes away, feeling a little angry and stopped paying attention to him.
Ouyang Rong continued to stretch his head, looked at her and said:
"Little junior sister is here to find me."
"No, I'll send Miao Si back."
Ouyang Rong lowered his head and glanced at the faintly moving little head under her sleeves, and asked again:
"Then you're already here, why don't you go in?"
Before Xie Lingjiang could speak, Miao Si took advantage of the fact that no one was around and poked out a small head from his sleeves, saying to the rescue:
"I don't want to go back, I can't do that."
She changed the subject and said:
"Xiao Rongzi, I noticed that you are becoming more and more bold now, and you even take care of Xie Yatou. Hmm, do you know you made a mistake just now? Why are you talking so loudly? It's neither big nor small, not one of them...
Uh-huh.”
Before the wonderful idea could be finished, Xie Lingjiang pressed his little head into his sleeve.
She strode forward without saying a word.
Ouyang Rong grabbed the little junior sister's hand and ignored her efforts to break away, saying:
"Xiu Niang told me, thank you for your hard work, little junior sister."
Xie Lingjiang lowered his head: "I help the embroiderer, it has nothing to do with you."
Ouyang Rong glanced sideways and found that her eyes were slightly red.
He pursed his lips.
Xie Lingjiang suddenly said:
"Why do you write so many letters to my father and aunt?"
Ouyang Rong asked cautiously: "Did they send you a letter?"
Xie Ling Jiang's pretty face tightened and she didn't answer.
The two walked forward for a while, and she mentioned:
"Do you still remember what happened when Zhen Niang and your mother sold Xiu Niang?"
"Yeah, remember."
Xie Lingjiang whispered:
"Auntie may still be biased against Xiu Niang and feels that she has let you down and hurt you in the past. Have you thought about how to deal with this."
"Well, I'll take care of it before the birthday ceremony."
"That's okay." She whispered.
Ouyang Rong found that the little junior sister's palm no longer struggled and became quiet.
He held her hand silently and walked with Xie Lingjiang.
Passing by the river, we stopped together and watched the sunset over the river accompanied by fishermen's songs.
Half an hour later, the two arrived at the gate of Prince Xunyang's Mansion.
Ouyang Rong and Xie Lingjiang turned their heads in tacit agreement and looked at each other.
After a while, the two actions were almost at the same time: Ouyang Rong opened his arms, and Xie Lingjiang rushed forward.
In front of the door, the two hugged.
The hug became tighter and tighter.
At this moment, Ouyang Rong heard a very annoying voice coming from behind:
"Can you send me back? You two can hug me again. I'm still here!"
The two couldn't help but separate and looked down. The little girl in Confucian attire was holding her hands on her chest, raising her head and humming, looking at them sideways.
He spoke like a "little grown-up".
Xie Lingjiang blushed a little and looked away.
Ouyang Rong Ziruo patted his sleeves and straightened his clothes.
"Eh."
Miaosi sighed old-fashionedly, shook her head, raised her little head, but raised her hands to cover her eyes, and said:
"I really can't do anything to you, so okay, you can hug me... Hey, Xie Yatou, is it night? Why can't I see anything?"
Xie Lingjiang:……
Ouyang Rong:......
After a while, Xie Lingjiang patted Ouyang Rong's hand with the wonderful idea of "I can't do anything, and I will be disappointed in the first place", and she turned around and got into the palace gate.
Only Ouyang Rong and Miao Si were left at the door.
The latter clapped her hands, as if the magic power of the light bulb was completed, with a little satisfaction on her face. Standing on Ouyang Rong's hand, she skillfully got into Ouyang Rong's sleeves, and shouted at the same time:
"It's none of my business, Xie Yatou ran away on her own..."
Ouyang Rong walked forward silently and said:
"Okay, shut up. If you don't produce ink, don't talk."
Miaosi's eyes suddenly widened and her little head came out of her sleeves to protest:
"You, you are killing the donkey. I gave you three tubes ten years ago. Little Rong, you just pretended to be confused after taking it, right?"
Ouyang Rong said slowly:
"Oh, I remembered it, but with such a small amount of ink, people who don't know think that we can't afford the spiritual ink. Please give me another dozen to show everyone the strength of the female fairy."
Miaosi cursed:
"You think hens lay eggs, and three tubes of spiritual ink are not enough for you. You are fighting with the gods of China, right?"
Ouyang Rong couldn't help laughing.
Xiao Mo Jing's expression softened a little, but when she saw that he was silent, she looked at Ouyang Rong with a pair of dark eyes and asked:
"Are you really done with it?"
"Um."
"Why do you not believe me so much? Did you lie and steal my spiritual ink?"
The more Miao Si looked at him, the more suspicious his face became:
"And are you sure there was really a fight this time when you went to Xunyang Grottoes? Why didn't you come back alive and kicking without any glory on your body? Something's wrong. Why are they so weak? Shouldn't you be the most conspicuous one?"
Ouyang Rong suppressed his laughter and asked seriously:
"Can't it be me who sweeps through the invincibles and sweeps them all away, just like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves?"
"Real or fake?"
It happened that I was bored on the way back, so Ouyang Rong said seriously:
"Well, I reluctantly tell you how I fought with powerful rebels for 300 rounds in the Xunyang Grottoes... By the way, all of them are the most empresses in the Empress Hall, especially the golden-haired eldest daughter.
Jun, you are flying around so domineeringly, you are so arrogant... However, under the influence of the three tubes of spiritual ink provided by me and the female fairy, they have no one enemy. The spiritual ink is really terrifying..."
Miao Si muttered "Real or False", but the original look of doubt on her face turned into a look of joy, and she puffed up her chest proudly:
"Humph, even though you can be a bit annoying sometimes, you still have a good eye for good things..."
Miao Si waved her hands and shouted:
"Next time, remember to report my name to these defeated generals, and say that this powerful divine ink was given to you by an ink fairy who did not want to leave her name."
"It's wrapped."
Ouyang Rong talked about it with gusto, making up nonsense along the way, and the little Mo Jing gave him a fool.
Finally, when I returned to the Yin Bingzhai study room, the little guy was already smiling happily. The little ink master ran back to the closet with a satisfied look on his face, and continued to produce spiritual ink full of energy.
The days with a new follower were quite promising.
