Jiang Zhiyue's words stopped abruptly. She looked forward and saw her mother walking out.
When people in the house saw Jiang Zhiyue going out to open the door and never coming back, Mrs. Zhang came out to take a look.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked out of the kitchen, he saw Jiang Zhiyue leading three people over.
And the man walking with her daughter was Ouyang Ming or someone else!
Since Ouyang Ming said goodbye to them on the way to Longxian Village, he has not been seen again.
They knew that Ouyang Ming's identity was unusual, so they didn't ask any more questions or mention him to anyone else.
I came back today.
Mrs. Zhang was quite surprised and asked: "Xiao Ming?!!!"
Zhang's voice of surprise was really too loud. Jiang Zhiyue was frightened by the sudden sound.
Mrs. Zhang obviously frightened her without realizing it. Now that she was over her surprise, she was pulling Ouyang Ming's sleeve into the house.
The two followers following Jiang Zhiyue and Ouyang Ming were stunned.
Everything seemed magical after arriving in this yard.
Ever since they met the Crown Prince, they had never seen the Crown Prince smile like this.
Every time the prince smiles, someone will suffer.
And the current unfavorable situation for the prince made him become more and more cold and stern, as if nothing mattered to him.
So, is this gentle man in front of them really their eldest son?
And that woman dared to rip off the prince's clothes. Was she dissatisfied with his longevity?
But the imagined scene did not appear.
Ouyang Ming followed Zhang's strength and took two steps forward and said, "Auntie, don't worry, Zhiyue is still behind you."
Zhang let go of her hand and took a look, and sure enough she saw Jiang Zhiyue looking over with a somewhat resentful look.
Ms. Zhang laughed awkwardly and said, "I haven't seen Xiao Ming for a long time. I'm a little too excited."
"These two are from your family, Xiao Ming. We are just getting ready to have dinner. Come in quickly. Come in quickly. We are just in time."
Zhang's exclamation just now attracted everyone in the room.
After they walked out of the house, they saw the scene outside.
Ouyang Ming greeted them one by one before they spoke.
The two followers who followed him had quickly adjusted their emotions and seemed quite calm on the surface.
I just couldn't help but exclaim in my heart, but no one noticed it.
Sanlang and the other boys excitedly ran to Ouyang Ming and surrounded him tightly.
"Brother Ming!"
Everyone started chatting in the courtyard where the cold wind was howling.
Mrs. Jiang walked out of the door and saw Ouyang Ming's clothes blown up by the wind, so she greeted him: "Come in quickly, let's light the charcoal fire and keep warm."
Everyone cheered and walked into the house again.
When Ouyang Ming's two followers followed him into the house, they couldn't help but be surprised when they saw the food on the two large round tables inside.
The ordinary village household that the Crown Prince was talking about... seems to be anything but ordinary.
The table is full of food.
Although the display is not as elaborate as that of a large family, the portion is really quite a lot.
There are eight kinds of meat and vegetables, and there are two soups, one meat and one vegetarian.
After the two of them entered the house, they stood aside, listening to what was going on in the house.
When Jiang Yuchao saw the two of them, he stood up and said, "You two, please put your things down and have a rest."
The two of them were about to shirk away, when the next moment they felt a very threatening gaze looking towards them.
The two looked over and saw their master's unkind gaze.
Ouyang Ming glanced at them, and then at the direction where Jiang Yu led them: two stools.
The words of rejection rolled around in his mouth and turned into: "Thank you, sir."
The two of them carefully sat on the bench, and sure enough, the line of sight was gone.
Looking over to Ouyang Ming, he was surrounded by people talking about him in the center.
Everyone didn't ask anything, they were just concerned about his situation during the days he left.
Ouyang Ming kept replying and seemed to enjoy this atmosphere.
After just greetings for a while, everyone took their seats.
In winter, food gets cold quickly, and you will have to eat cold food after a while.
Everyone sat down in their original seats. Ouyang Ming took a look and sat directly next to Jiang Zhiyue.
That position was originally Zhang Xiaoyan's. She only glanced at it, and she and Ouyang Ming happened to look at each other.
Zhang Xiaoyan shivered inexplicably and felt that the temperature in the room was a little colder than usual.
She decisively walked to sit next to Mrs. Zhang.
Zhang Xiaoyan breathed a long sigh of relief.
Huh~ It's still warmer if my aunt burns a charcoal fire.
Ouyang Ming sniffed the aroma of rice mixed with the aroma of wine in the air, and couldn't help but ask: "Is this... monkey wine obtained from the forest?"
"It's the two jars of monkey wine that girl Zhiyue brought back from the forest. Come and have a taste."
Mr. Jiang poured a glass of wine for Ouyang Ming, then looked at the two people at another table next to him and said, "You guys should have a taste too."
The two people who came with Ouyang Ming were one fat and the other thin. The tall and thin one who looked smarter was named Li Da, and the other one who was fatter and looked kinder was named Li Wen.
Hearing Mr. Jiang's 'warm invitation', Li Wen immediately couldn't sit still.
As soon as he took out the wine jar, the smell floated under his nose, and the greedy wine bugs emerged.
He half stood up from the bench with a smile and said: "Old man, you don't have to work, I will do it by myself."
As soon as he stood up, Li Da kicked him from under the table.
"Hiss! Li Da, you are so cruel. Why are you kicking me?"
Li Da looked at him as if he were a fool and withdrew his gaze.
Li Wen smiled and walked over and took the wine jar from Mr. Jiang's hand.
Mr. Jiang's eyelids twitched when he saw Li Wen holding the wine jar and pouring a full bowl of wine into the half-sea bowl in front of him.
The crystal clear wine swirled around the mouth of the bowl twice without spilling a drop.
Anyone who sees it will say it’s awesome.
Li Wen wanted to pour another glass for Li Daye, wanting his good brother to have a taste of this good wine.
Li Da blocked Li Wen's movement with two fingers and said sternly: "I don't drink."
Li Wen clicked his tongue and muttered: "Then you won't be lucky enough to taste good wine."
He smiled and returned the wine jar to Mr. Jiang.
Mr. Jiang took the wine jar into his hand. He used to pour the wine himself, but Li Wen suddenly poured a large bowl, and he felt as if half of it was missing.
I felt sad silently in my heart, and it was hard to say anything about this young man who looked so naive.
Mr. Jiang sealed the wine jar and put it away, and quickly invited everyone to eat.
Everyone happily picked up their chopsticks and started moving.
After all the delay, the food was already a little cold, but fortunately the charcoal fire was burning brightly in the room and there was still some residual warmth.
Everyone kept talking and laughing during the meal, and the atmosphere was always lively.
Li Wen took a sip of wine and exclaimed: "It's such a good wine!"
Li Wen was not as calm as Li Da, and soon he became brothers with Jiang Dalang and others at the same table.
After three rounds of drinking, everyone's faces were flushed from the heat of the charcoal fire.
Ouyang Ming said: "Everyone sent me all the way here, and I didn't have time to thank you. I found out that you were moving to a new house today, and came to bother you without saying anything in advance... I really feel sorry for you."
Mr. Jiang said with a smile on his face: "What's wrong with you? You haven't been here these days. Sanlang and the others are thinking about you and want you to see if their martial arts have improved."
"Now that they see you back, they don't know how happy they are."
Mrs. Jiang also said: "The old man is right. If you want to come back, you can come back and treat it as your own home."
Sanlang took the opportunity to ask: "Brother Ming, are you still leaving when you come back this time?"
Everyone else also looked at Ouyang Ming.
Ouyang Ming said: "Still leaving, there are some things I haven't finished yet."
He changed his tone and said: "But I can stay for half a day and check the status of your training tomorrow morning."
Saburo cheered excitedly: "That's great."
Ouyang Ming added: "I didn't bring anything valuable with me this time. I only brought something you can use."
While Ouyang Ming was talking, Li Da stood up and took the boxes placed by the wall. At the same time, he also pulled Li Wen up, who was forgetful about drinking.
Ouyang Ming stood up and distributed boxes one by one to everyone.
Everyone present was there, not even Bai Yifeng, who had always had some problems with him.
This time everyone knew why there were so many boxes. It turned out that everyone had one and the items were different.
Mr. Wang Fugui and Mr. Jiang Kangde were given fine tea, and Mr. Jiang was given a jar of good wine.
Mrs. Jiang's is a jade Ruyi, Zhang's sisters-in-law and Huang Huahua are all made of fabrics that match them, and they feel silky and have a good texture.
What Dalang Erlang and Wang Hao received were some books and treatises, and what Sanlang received was a sharp dagger.
…
Everyone's items are different, and they suit everyone's liking, and everyone is very happy to receive them.
Everyone said politely: "It will cost you money to come back."
After Ouyang Ming gave everyone the gifts and sat down, Li Da and Li Wencai sat down again in silence.
Li Wen listened to everyone's thanks and thought to himself.
Isn't that right? The prince is now being bullied by dogs, and everything he does needs money.
They were so busy every day that they even had to squeeze in time to eat. After they had built the house, they started preparing things many days in advance. It took a lot of effort to get all these things together.
Ouyang Ming smiled and said, "It's not too expensive, as long as everyone likes it."
He took out the last small box in his hand, which was for Jiang Zhiyue. Inside was a gold-trimmed bracelet.
This bracelet was modified by him personally, and it can contain hidden weapons.
He gently rubbed the box body and planned to hand it to Jiang Zhiyue.
Ouyang Mingyang noticed something was wrong as soon as he looked at Jiang Zhiyue.
Jiang Zhiyue sat upright, and there seemed to be nothing wrong with her.
But her eyes were fixed on a spot on the table without moving for a long time, and her eyes looked a little dull.
