"Don't you like these dishes, Tanlang?"

Wei Mei asked curiously.

She just saw Xie Lingjiang give Ouyang Rong a bowl of soup. As a result, Ouyang Rong kept holding the soup bowl in both hands, lowering his head to sip the soup, staring at the dishes on the table in front of him, and kept drinking the soup without picking up the vegetables.

"Ah? No, I like to eat, but this soup tastes better. I couldn't help but drink more... Auntie's cooking is still so exquisite."

Ouyang Rong came to his senses, put down the soup bowl, and smiled.

"It's okay. Tanlang, drink more. There is still some in the pot. Let the maid serve more."

Wei Mei said with a happy face, but as if she thought of something, she sighed again, her face a little sad:

"It's rare to have a meal together. Usually, either Qilang is busy, or Tanlang is busy and can't come, or Bao'er, Xie Xian's niece eats out and doesn't come home...

"Today is the same. Dalang is not here. Even though this brat is here, he is still immersed in eating and not talking, but... I always feel that something is missing. Well, I don't know what happened to him in Wannian County. He set off on his journey.

without……"

Wei Mei's voice gradually became quieter as she spoke.

When she noticed Li Xian next to her, both Li Guo'er looked at her with a straight face.

"clang……"

Li Xian, who had always been sluggish as a husband, knocked on the bowl, and his tone rarely sounded more majestic than the head of the family:

"Mei Niang is eating, don't mention that boy."

Ouyang Rong knew as soon as he heard that it must be Li Guo'er and Li Xian who mentioned the matter of Princess Anhui.

Wei Mei was quiet for a while, then suddenly her eyebrows stood up:

"Why are you so mean? I didn't say I wouldn't give in. Besides, what's wrong with Da Lang? I've learned from you. You can't do anything right when you're not right. You weren't much better when you were young.

…”

Li Xian patted his chopsticks: "Look how much you dote on him..."

"I'm not spoiled by you. In the past, you locked him in the study all day long to study, and I didn't say a word. Later, whether it was a blind date with Miss Qin or something else, your arrangements for Da Lang, when did I

Don't agree?

"Now that the child is like this, you still say that I am used to it. Qi Lang, think carefully about whose fault it is. No matter how big Lang is not, you can't put all the blame on him. Besides, he hasn't made any mistakes yet. You are worried and afraid.

.

"Now that he is outside, except for Tanlang to take care of him, you don't even ask a question. Can you not ask? I can't do it. We are more prominent now, but aren't we still the same family as Longcheng? What's the difference?

, no different from ordinary people, can they become ruthless...

"They say that my mother is worried when she travels thousands of miles away. After all, it is a piece of meat that fell off my body. Qilang, you don't feel bad, I feel sad."

Li Xian choked and blushed.

"Isn't this king doing this for his own good? What you said, Ms. Mei, is a sin..."

Li Baoer twisted another piece of pastry, bent down and placed it at his feet, lowering his eyes as a reminder:

"Sister Xie and Mr. Ouyang still need to eat."

The couple immediately became quiet, turned their heads and ate in silence.

Ouyang Rong and Xie Lingjiang buried their heads in eating, pretending not to hear.

Wei Mei stood up and walked out. After a while, she returned from the kitchen and personally brought a new bowl of broth. She stood at the table and silently scooped a bowl for Ouyang Rong, Li Bao'er and Xie Lingjiang.

There is even a small bowl on the carpet of the flower hall, which is sneaking around like some kind of parkour.

There was nothing on the table in front of Li Xian.

I saw some kind of fart running back.

"Gulu gulu..."

It had its kitten face buried in a soup bowl on the carpet, its butt facing the crowd, and its fluffy white-haired tail swung from side to side.

The sound of drinking soup is a bit loud.

Li Xian looked at Youzhong and then at his empty bowl.

Li Bao'er lowered the corners of her mouth, stood up, and served a bowl to her stern-faced old father.

Ouyang Rong, who was immersed in eating, stretched out his foot under the table and gently kicked the stupid cat away... The new name is really correct. You are really smart. You are not afraid of eating this meal and not finishing it? One meal, too much

Dinner, choose a meal?

"Tan Lang, among the Kuang Fu Army rebels you just mentioned, there is a man named Du Shuqing. Are you familiar with him?"

When Ouyang Rong heard this, his movements paused and he couldn't help but sigh. Why did everyone ask him if he was familiar with him? It seemed like he was also a rebel... Wait, but the owner of Die Lianhua seemed to be a recognized associate of the rebels.

Together with the little lady Zhishuang, it hangs at the gate of almost every city in Jiangnan Road.

"I've seen it before." Ouyang Rong was curious: "Why does the princess ask this?"

"Yesterday, a letter came from my mother's side in Luoyang. My father mentioned this matter, and I just remembered that when he was a child, I even went to Du's house to hug him."

Wei Mei sighed, as if she was feeling sad:

"You said this boy from the Du family doesn't want a good future, so why does he do such a rebellious thing? Well, I'm not worth it for him."

Xie Lingjiang praised softly:

"Putting aside the stance, the descendants of the Du family in Jingzhao do dare to be the first, and they can be regarded as men."

Ouyang Rongduo glanced at Wei Mei.

This aunt's family background is not simple either, Jingzhao Webster.

The Wei and Du families in Chang'an were both famous Guanlong clans, and their ancestors were the princes of Jingzhao County... It can be understood that their ancestors entered the original stock market when they founded the country with Sui Qian, and their roots were well established.

If compared with Qi Wang of the fifth surname... let's understand it this way. In the eyes of the Li family, Qi Wang of the fifth surname is still an outsider no matter how powerful he is. He must be suppressed and not allowed to be so awesome, while Chang'an Weidu is his own family.

The two families are indeed prosperous in terms of talents, not only in Sui Gan. In the previous Southern and Northern Dynasties, Wei Du's children have served as generals and prime ministers in all dynasties. For example, in the current Zhou Dynasty, there is a prime minister named Wei in the political hall.

Moreover, the Weidu family has been related by marriage for generations.

People in the world like to say, you are so powerful, why don't you go to heaven?

Chang'an Weidu has indeed almost reached the sky. There is a nursery rhyme in Chang'an city singing "Weidu in the south of the city, go to the sky and five feet", and it is only one and a half feet above the sky.

It is not unreasonable for Wei Mei to marry Li Xian, the former crown prince of Da Qian, even if her natal family is tough enough and Li Xian has strict control over his wife.

Therefore, according to the marriage relationship, Wei Mei and Du Shuqing are really relatives.

No one talked much about Du Shuqing, after all, he was a rebel now.

In fact, Wei Mei was not familiar with her nephew, and the Xunyang Palace was not completely safe yet, so it was impossible to say anything for Du Shuqing in front of Ouyang Rong.

Ouyang Rong's mind flashed to the lonely orchids swaying in the wind on the window sill of the Meilin courtyard.

Soon, tonight's royal family banquet ended in a dull manner.

…

Ouyang Rong was sent out of Xunyang Prince's Mansion by Xie Lingjiang.

Ouyang Rong boarded the carriage.

He pondered for a moment:

"Go to Xingzifang."

"Yes, sir."

Ali responded and the carriage started.

Yesterday morning, Rong Zhen and Qin Yanqing called him to Jiuzhou Prison to deal with the matter of the arrested hero Zheng Jun. During the day, Ouyang Rong cooperated with Rong Zhen and spent a busy day inside and outside the city.

In the evening, Ouyang Rong rushed to Xunyang Prince's Mansion for dinner and did not visit Xingzifang as usual.

If he didn't go there for a day, he always felt that something was missing. There was indeed an important person there and he needed to keep an eye on him.

There was a curfew at night, especially today, which was particularly strict. However, as the governor of Jiangzhou, Ouyang Rong had a document of "walking at night", and the journey was smooth and he arrived at Chengtian Temple.

When we arrived at Yuan Huaimin's courtyard, Yuan Huaimin was nowhere to be seen.

"Where's Brother Yuan?"

Ouyang Rong asked Li Yu, who was sitting blankly in the yard.

"Yuan Changshi said that there is a banquet over there in Xunyang Tower, and everyone who plays Pipa, which he likes, will be on stage. We can't live without him in Xunyang Tower tonight. Let me rest early and leave a door for him."

"Have you eaten outside, Mr. Li?"

Li Yu shook his head.

"Let's go."

Ouyang Rong waved his hand and took the lead to go out.

"Where are you going, Mr. Ouyang?"

"Zhaiyuan. It should not be closed yet."
