Chapter 415 Marriage(2/2)
Ouyang Rong found that Wang Lengran had been a little distracted since the meeting today. He also had two dark circles under his eyes when he came in the morning. It seemed that his sleep quality had been worrying recently.
Qin Jingqin walked out of the lobby after the meeting and saw his granddaughter, Ouyang Rong and others coming to greet him. His expression was no longer the calm and severe one at the meeting just now, but a little more kind.
Qin Jingqin did not turn his back on Ouyang Rong and Xie Lingjiang, who had dinner together last night, and exchanged a few pleasantries calmly.
The group of people walked and chatted.
"Lianghan..."
"Uncle Qin..."
Ouyang Rong and Qin Jingqin spoke almost at the same time, their words colliding with each other.
"You speak first."
Qin Jingqin waved his hand and said indifferently.
Ouyang Rong and Xie Lingjiang looked at each other and spoke slowly...
According to the decision discussed at the Xunyang Palace last night, Ouyang Rong invited the Qin family or businesses close to the Qin family to join in the construction of the Xunyang Grottoes.
"oh?"
After Qin Jingqin heard this, he raised his eyebrows slightly.
He didn't respond immediately.
Ouyang Rong didn't press it, as if he had never mentioned it before.
After a while, Qin Jingqin seemed to have forgotten the invitation. Without mentioning it, he took the initiative to speak:
"I just wanted to ask if Liang Han has anyone to recommend as a general for the forward army.
"I heard yesterday that when Zhu Lingxu was in charge of the front army, Liang Han and King Xunyang recommended Captain Qin Guoyi from Zhechong Prefecture in Jiangzhou as a forward, but he was politely rejected."
Ouyang Rong was slightly stunned and nodded: "Yes, there is such a thing."
He didn't expect Qin Jingqin to mention it suddenly.
Qin Jingqin walked in front with his hands behind his back. He pondered for a moment and said, "Liang Han, please tell me carefully about this person."
Ouyang Rong was a little hesitant.
Qin Jingqin waved his hand: "You don't have to avoid relatives to promote talents. I will also go and investigate, and you will understand by listening. Liang Han, feel free to say it."
After Ouyang Rong heard this, he no longer hesitated and talked about Qin Heng in front of Qin Jingqin. Naturally, he made some positive comments. Of course, he also pointed out some shortcomings of "being aloof and tough" and "being difficult to deal with colleagues".
Qin Jingqin nodded and listened silently.
When the group arrived at the house where Qin Jingqin temporarily lived, Ouyang Rong and Xie Lingjiang stopped.
Saying goodbye to each other, before leaving, Xie Lingjiang turned around:
"Mr. Qin is going to go on an expedition in the next few days. Why don't the Qin sisters stay in Xunyang City? I happen to have nothing to do with my sister Guo'er from the palace recently. How about taking the Qin sisters to visit Xunyang together?"
Qin Jingqin and Qin Ying looked at each other. The latter was a little surprised. He looked at the pretty and sincere face of the noble Xie family and tentatively replied:
"Let me think about it."
"Okay." Xie Lingjiang nodded generously without urging.
Ouyang Rong watched Qin Jingqin seeing off Qin Ying as he entered the house, then turned around and left...
The grandson and granddaughter of the Qin family did not keep Ouyang Rong and Prince Xunyang waiting for too long.
On the afternoon of the second day, a reply came from Qin Jingqin. Although it was relatively tactful, it stated two things.
One thing is that the Qin family is willing to donate some funds and manpower to build a Buddha statue of similar specifications in Xunyang Grottoes, which can be regarded as a blessing for His Majesty and Dazhou Songde.
Another thing is that Qin Ying will stay temporarily to take care of the construction of the grottoes donated by the Qin family at Shuangfeng Peak. At the same time, he accepted the invitation from Xie Lingjiang, the little princess of Xunyang Palace, to visit Xunyang.
When the reply came, in the afternoon of that day, Qin Jingqin sorted out the troops and horses of the former army with great efficiency, and gave instructions in public for the expedition the next day.
At the same time, Qin Heng, the captain of Guoyi of Jiangzhou Zhechong Prefecture, who had been sitting on the bench, was appointed as a forward general, which aroused the surprise of Jiangzhou officials and Zhechong Prefecture generals.
Wang Lengran's face turned a little blue and purple, and he was faintly beaten.
Many Jiangzhou officials and generals from Zhechong Mansion quietly looked at him.
Ever since King Xunyang and Changshi Ouyang recommended Qin Heng that day, Qin Heng has been suppressed and ignored by the governor. Now he is on the rise, and many people have become more active and look at King Xunyang and Changshi Ouyang.
Same...
Ouyang Rong didn't know whether this appointment or dismissal was due to his recommendation.
Although at the study meeting last night, Li Guo'er and the others speculated that it might be Qin Jingqin's goodwill and the exchange of rewards.
However, he did feel that Qin Jingqin did not look like this kind of commander. This famous general of the Great Zhou Dynasty had a stern, even harsh style when it came to military matters. He never joked and his acting style focused on the overall situation.
Therefore, it may be that Qin Heng passed Qin Jingqin's interview due to his excellent qualities.
But Qin Heng obviously didn't think so.
Only when you have been buried at the local grassroots level for a long time can you fully understand how valuable an opportunity to be "randomly recommended" in front of a big shot is.
Qin Heng was very grateful to Ouyang Rong. At noon that day, he placed azaleas on the wall and invited him to have a gathering at Yunshui Pavilion.
Ouyang Rong got the coded message from Ye Weilai and guessed that it was related to the matter of gratitude. He hesitated for a while and did not go there. He just asked Yan Liulang to go and toast him on his behalf to see him off and congratulate Qin Heng on his victory.
The suspicions that should be avoided should still be avoided, especially when the weather is calm and the situation is favorable.
Early that morning, the reorganized expeditionary army officially set off for the expedition.
Qin Jingqin seemed to have followed Ouyang Rong's analysis and judgment at the family banquet that night. He no longer hesitated and took advantage of the abundant food in autumn to launch a thunderous attack and attack Hongzhou.
In the morning light, Ouyang Rong stood on the top of the city and watched Qin Jingqin's conquest army leave.
The early morning sun shines coldly on the armor of the long military column in the distance. From Ouyang Rong's vantage point, it looks like the golden scales on a swimming dragon.
"The armor's light is opening towards the sun's golden scales..." the young man in fox white fur said to himself.
He helped everything he could, whether it was making suggestions or recommending people.
At present, the suppression of rebellion on the frontline battlefield has come to an end for Ouyang Rong, and he can only place his hopes on Qin Jingqin, a veteran.
As for him.
He stayed in Jiangzhou to deal with the continuous logistics of the army, and at the same time, he also had the most important thing in his term as governor of Jiangzhou...the completion of the construction of the Donglin Giant Buddha!
