Chapter 480 Khufu with thick eyebrows and big eyes(2/3)
Ouyang Rong put his felt hat on his head, lifted the car curtain with two fingers, and turned to look at the night outside.
After the day's luncheon, he went to discuss with Xunyang Wang Lixian's family in the afternoon.
Tonight, using Li Guo'er's late return from attending a cultural gathering as a cover, he and Shun Bo came to listen to Zhuxuan to inquire about Khufu's attitude.
Although he was an acquaintance who had helped him in the past.
But who knows if there will be any changes after being away for more than half a year.
At this moment, the personal guard who originally delivered the jade pendant token returned again, but Uncle Shun was nowhere to be seen.
I saw the guard holding something in both hands, walked to the carriage, and handed it out respectfully:
"My lord, entrust me with this, and then please let me in."
Ouyang Rong raised his eyebrows slightly and took the familiar waist knife.
It was the waist knife that he gave to Khufu before he and Khufu parted, and later saved his life, but he never expected to keep it.
Ouyang Rong silently took the knife from his waist. He didn't bring any of the expensive gifts prepared by Wei Mei or Li Guoer in the car. He only wore a felt hat and got off the car alone.
A long piano-box-shaped sword case was also placed in the carriage.
Li Baoer caught a glimpse.
"Ouyang Lianghan..."
"Let's go, it's okay."
Li Guo'er frowned slightly, looked at the back of Ouyang Rong, who was free and easy, and pursed his lips.
She straightened her hood and cloak, got out of the car and followed...
Ouyang Rong is actually quite familiar with Tingzhuxuan. When Zhu Lingxu died, he was the one responsible for confiscating the property and finishing it off.
Speaking of which, walking on the corridor of this house in the middle of the night, he was so nostalgic that he missed Governor Zhu a little bit...
Soon, Ou Rong and Li Guo'er, who had returned to their hometown, were brought to a study room.
As soon as they entered the door, the two saw a surprising scene.
"Godfather, please calm down. It's absolutely wrong, it's all the child's fault. The child deserves to be beaten. Godfather, please calm down. Drink tea, drink tea..."
"Ouch... Godfather, please stop fighting... My godfather is really not an ungrateful person. My godfather has misunderstood my child. I will never forget my great kindness. Godfather, please spare your life, please stop fighting..."
In the study room, Khufu, the emperor's personal envoy who was so majestic in front of others during the day and was praised by the stars, was kneeling in front of a chair and carefully serving tea to the old man sitting on the seat.
But Uncle Shun, who used to be respectful and submissive in front of Ouyang Rong, sat calmly on the chair. Now he was cold-faced and silent, humming softly in front of his godson to please him.
Ouyang Rong and Li Guo'er walked into the room,
Some are too late to avoid.
Khufu, who was kneeling on the ground, quickly stood up, but still kept his waist low in front of his godfather.
He lowered his head to serve tea, not daring to neglect the white-haired, rickety old eunuch in front of him.
"You said you are not ungrateful. Then dad asked you, how did you show off to Mr. Ouyang when you first arrived in Jiangzhou during the day?"
"Showing off? Really... really not." Khufu was stunned for a moment, then his face became troubled, and he hesitated to explain:
"Misunderstanding, definitely a misunderstanding."
"No? Did Daddy make a mistake when he inquired about it? Okay, I'll ask again tomorrow. Daddy is not wronging anyone, so don't be wronged either...
"By the way, Mr. Ouyang is already here. Let me ask him again..."
"Hey, don't, godfather, don't."
When Khufu heard this, he called Shunbo to a halt with a guilty conscience.
After Ouyang Rong came in, after gauging the situation on the field, he stepped forward and made a clear statement:
"Uncle Shun, please calm down. Ambassador Hu did not neglect me. It must be a misunderstanding."
Khu Fu looked at Ouyang Rong embarrassedly, a trace of gratitude flashed in his eyes, and then nodded towards Shun Bo like a chicken pecking at rice:
"That's right, actually...it's just that it's not convenient to talk during the day, and there's no reason to be careless."
"is that so?"
Ouyang Rong and Khufu nodded.
Uncle Shun stared at Khufu who bowed his head obediently for a while, then nodded slightly:
"Okay, you can go talk and just pretend that I'm not here."
Uncle Shun took the tea cup, blew the tea and took a sip. He had reached his mission tonight and would not interfere.
Khufu turned his head and looked at Ouyang Rong.
He sighed.
However, he still tilted his head and bowed his hands respectfully towards Li Guo'er.
"Your Highness, the Princess, is here to welcome you from afar."
"Nothing, please get up."
Li Baoer waved his hand.
Li Xian and Li Dalang are both inconvenient to come.
This kind of private meeting with the eunuch must not be caught with definite evidence.
Li Guo'er is different. You can move around a little. After all, daughters and sons are different.
As for women’s public appearances, what’s wrong with the princesses of Daqian and Dazhou being more open-minded? Who said women are inferior to men? Have you ever asked the female emperor of the dynasty?
"Ouyang Changshi, His Majesty asked our family to come here this time mainly to investigate the postponement of Jiangzhou Hall.
"Let's see if the many difficulties you reported are true as you said. Let's come to inspect and verify them. When we go back, we must truthfully report to the court.
"So, Ouyang Changshi, you said, under such circumstances, can our family show intimacy with you in front of outsiders? Wouldn't this harm you?"
"I see."
Ouyang Rong nodded slowly.
Khufu thought for a while and then said:
"Ouyang Changshi, our family won't hide it. As long as there are no big mistakes in your work, our family will just go through the process and there will be no embarrassment.
"Furthermore, our family knows who you are, Mr. Ouyang, and there will definitely be no big problem here.
"But one thing to note is that our family is not here alone this time. We only represent the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but there is another line that Ouyang Changshi needs to pay special attention to."
"What line?"
"Your Majesty not only asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to send our family here, but also asked Si Tianjian to send a Lingtai Lang, named Lin Cheng, to come to Jiangzhou with him.
"Actually, we are supervising each other.
"Master Ouyang, please don't ignore this person."
Khufu warned carefully.
Ouyang Rong nodded thoughtfully.
"Does Ambassador Hu know the origin of Lin Cheng?"
"This boy probably doesn't come from a high family, maybe from a poor family, but if he can reach the position of Xia Guan Lingtai Lang at such a young age, he should have someone to support him."
"I heard that there is a teacher who is a deputy supervisor." Ouyang Rong said softly.
"The deputy superintendent of Si Tianjian? There is no one who is easy to mess with." Hu Fu said seriously: "Ouyang Changshi, please pay attention to this person."
"good."
At this moment, Li Guo'er, who was looking around, asked curiously:
"Lieutenant Hu, remember you didn't commit a crime and returned to Beijing in a hurry last time. How come you can serve as the lieutenant again this time?"
"Grandma should be relatively strict. Generally, only eunuchs who are trusted and respected are treated like this."
"This, our family... our family..."
Khufu was hesitant, as if he didn't dare to look at Uncle Shun, and explained in a low voice:
"Our family is indeed highly regarded by His Majesty..."
"Why is this? Without the old slave in these years, do you have other connections to support you?"
Shunbo put down his tea cup and asked curiously.
The tall man with a beard blushed a little.
"No. As I said, it's His Majesty's... respect."
Ouyang Rong, Li Guo'er and Shun Bo were curious and exchanged glances.
Appreciate? What is the method of appreciating?
etc.
