The more Xie Lingjiang listened, the more surprised his expression became.

"The old musician Si Tianjian invited turned out to be a sword holder, and he also taught sword techniques. If Rong Zhen went to him, wouldn't it mean that she also wanted to learn sword techniques? Could it be that Rong Zhen wanted to be a sword holder?

?”

Ouyang Rong shook his head: "Probably not, at least not for a sword wielder like me, because she is not a ninth-grade swordsman. Unless she spreads her skills, the cost is too high. Now on the eve of the Buddha's landing, she definitely can't do this."

"Why is that?" Xie Lingjiang asked: "You also said that Rong Zhen wants to get that piece of music, that is, the sword technique, before the Buddha lands on the ground, which means that he can practice it immediately. What does she want to do?

"

Ouyang Rong pondered for a moment:

"Maybe it has something to do with the Buddha."

"Big Buddha?"

"Yes, I suspect that the Donglin Giant Buddha is involved in a certain Si Tianjian's formation. Rong Nushi's defense at Xunyang Grottoes is all related to this formation, and Jianjue and Senior Yu are also part of it."

Xie Lingjiang hesitated: "Doesn't that mean..."

Ouyang Rong suddenly asked: "Which tripod sword do you think the incomplete new sword technique tonight comes from?"

Xie Lingjiang didn't think for too long and looked at Ouyang Rong.

"Emperor Wen."

"Emperor Wen."

The two of them said almost in unison.

Xie Lingjiang analyzed: "This old musician comes from Shangyang Palace, and Emperor Wen is in Luoyang Palace. This is what Uncle Li mentioned before."

"That's right."

Ouyang Rong nodded and said:

"I remember hearing that Rong Nu Shi came to Xunyang City for a special quota."

"Special quota?"

"Well, Lin Cheng mentioned it. Of course, he might have misled me at the time, but judging from his relationship with Rong Nushi, it doesn't look like he was lying. After being together for so long, I can feel that some of Rong Nushi's words were not truthfully told.

"

Xie Lingjiang asked: "Do you not trust senior brother?"

Ouyang Rong shook his head: "No, she didn't even hide the music related to the sword technique... I think there are only two possibilities. First, it does involve Si Tianjian's confidentiality clause and cannot be leaked. Second, Rong Nushi has selfish motives.

"

"Selfish?"

Xie Lingjiang hummed lightly, turned over the pages of the book with his fingers, played with them, and said leisurely:

"It is indeed selfish."

He glanced at Ouyang Rong meaningfully.

The latter frowned: "It's not selfish."

"uh-huh."

Xie Lingjiang was noncommittal and curled his lips and said:

"Then does Senior Brother still teach her music?"

"teach."

Ouyang Rong nodded without thinking:

"I promised. But I can't guarantee whether she can understand this sword technique."

"Isn't she talented?"

"No, but I'm looking at Xuan."

"Why is this?"

"Although I don't know what the special quota is and how she will use it, Rong Nushi is obviously too impatient. Understanding the sword technique does not require being impatient."

Xie Lingjiang felt a little emotional when he saw Ouyang Rong's face.

"That's true, not everyone has a talent like Senior Brother."

She nodded slightly.

Ouyang Rong smiled sheepishly.

The two were affectionate for a while.

He suddenly spoke:

"Today I'm going to see fellow Taoist Lu to calculate our birthdays and horoscopes."

Xie Lingjiang was stunned: "What do you mean?"

Ouyang Rong kept his gaze fixed:

"When the giant Buddha is built, I guess we should leave with the palace. I promised you before that we will get engaged when we go to Luoyang due to the incident in Xunyang City."

Xie Ling Jiang Qiao blushed deeply, lowered her head and said:

"Oh, it's not a painting..."

"Of course not."

Ouyang Rong said softly: "Lu Ya said that our horoscopes are good. I will tell my aunt that your aunt will also be invited to her birthday ceremony. We will talk about it then and let their elders start negotiating."

Xie Lingjiang whispered: "Okay, you make the decision."

Ouyang Rong held her hand tighter.

Xie Lingjiang also held his hand firmly.

As if they had discovered something interesting, the two of them played with their hands loosening and tightening.

Xie Lingjiang muttered and asked:

"Why did Senior Brother suddenly mention this matter? Weren't you not in a hurry before?"

Ouyang Rong said softly:

"I'm not in a hurry, but someone is."

"You...you are the one who is in a hurry, I am not in a hurry."

"Oh, don't worry. Recently, you have repeatedly mentioned Dalang's marriage in front of me and asked me about my opinions. Are you sure you are not hinting?"

"What a ghost is suggesting to you, whether you like this marriage or not."

Ouyang Rong laughed and said seriously:

"Junior sister agrees with Dalang's reason for refusing to marry. She doesn't want to get married in advance and the wife and concubines will have conflicts in the future... I went back and thought about it, and found that my previous views were a bit hasty, and I quite agree with Dalang.

"Not to mention whether the elder man has selfish motives for waiting for someone, the rights of the head wife do need to be defended. Marrying a concubine in advance is really not appropriate for his status as the heir apparent. What if he can get to the great treasure in the future?

, then the concubine now will be the imperial concubine in the future. This is not a small issue for ordinary people, it is a major matter for the emperor's family and needs to be carefully considered."

Xie Lingjiang was slightly startled: "That's the truth, but senior brother thinks further."

Ouyang Rong said calmly:

"So the summary of the Dalang incident is that we must first determine the main wife and concubines and then talk about it later."

Xie Lingjiang immediately agreed:

"Well, that's it."

Ouyang Rong squinted his eyes slightly, took a sip of wine, and glanced at the younger junior sister who became happy after agreeing on the same point of view.

Don't look at it, they are just chatting about the incident where the older man refused to marry.

But when couples discuss other people’s gossip, they never really care about other people’s affairs, but rather use it to gain insight into each other’s ideas and then reveal their own attitudes...

This is a good way to resolve possible conflicts in the future at low cost.

But just now, Ouyang Rong compromised his attitude and took the initiative to propose a marriage contract and take action.

Xie Lingjiang couldn't help but drink a few more glasses of wine, his face was red, and he seemed to be in a good mood tonight.

She flipped through the small book aimlessly, looked at Rong Zhen's handwriting, and said for the first time:

"Speaking of which, this Rong Zhen is indeed good to you. This time, Senior Brother was able to obtain the Sword Art and be promoted to the seventh rank because of her contribution. This is indeed undeniable.

"It was the same in the past. I confessed to Senior Brother many times... If I were a man, I would inevitably feel compassion for her."

Ouyang Rong frowned: "What do you mean?"

Xie Lingjiang raised his head, observed Ouyang Rong's expression, and asked:

"Does Senior Brother have no idea about her at all?"

Ouyang Rong shook his head:
