Being skinny and big does exist in reality.
This is not Ouyang Rong's imagination. But the junior sister proved it.
Ouyang Rong was not sure whether the Xie family of Chenjun, the top family in Jiangyou, had all descendants of Zhilan, who were popular in the Southern Dynasties. The only thing he could be sure of was that the food of the Xie family in Wuyi Lane was not generally good.
If you say that a poor family cannot produce a noble son, Ouyang Rong may chuckle and argue about blood origin. But if you say that a poor family cannot produce a girl like Junior Sister, then he agrees with it without any doubt.
Because the nutrition of the poor family can't keep up with the growth rate of the little junior sister.
Ouyang Rong admitted that when Xie Lingjiang suddenly turned around to greet the teacher and the others, he was given a big glare.
The half-slender who was close to him the day before was incomparable to this one. This one was a high-end game with increased intensity... And if I remember correctly, the junior sister was only sixteen or seventeen years old.
"Why are you so slow, Tanlang? Did you make my junior sister wait for you for a long time?"
Mrs. Zhen smiled and questioned Ouyang Rong as soon as she entered the door, but the latter knew that her aunt must have been secretly glancing at Ms. Xie from the corner of her eyes. She couldn't explain it, and she felt extremely satisfied.
Xie Xun said to Ouyang Rong: "The boat arrived at Penglangdu this morning, and your aunt took us up to the mountain. We just entered the temple to worship the Buddha. We were supposed to wait for Lianghan and you to come with us, but your aunt said no, and it was indeed inconvenient to go there." Come on, I'll let Huan Huan stay and wait for you. I'll go to the chanting hall and burn nine sticks of incense. You should know each other."
Not only did they know each other, they almost got into a fight. Someone said that his waist still hurt a little.
Xie Lingjiang seemed to want to apologize: "Father, my daughter just made a mistake..."
Ouyang Rong rushed to answer: "We know each other. I just saw Junior Sister Ling Jiang... It was quite unexpected. In the past two years, I often saw the teacher mention it in letters. When I saw it today, it turned out to be true. Junior Sister is indeed Liuxu Caiyuan, and He is very inquiring and eager to learn, and he just came to discuss Buddhist scriptures with students."
Xie Lingjiang glanced at this "elder brother", who answered his father's questions intently.
"That's good. When Huanyuan went to Bailu Cave to study, you just set off to Luoxia to take the exam. Later, you became a Jinshi, Ding Muyou, and took office... We haven't seen each other for a long time, Huanyuan I heard a lot about your senior brother’s deeds in the academy, and one day later, she told me that Tao Li made three wishes before she was twenty. The first is to read all the books in the family, and the second is to meet a true good man."
"I don't dare to take it seriously." Ouyang Rong smiled. There seems to be some use in a false reputation. What's the use? He deceived Liang, a young and artistic sister-in-law.
"Father..." Xie Lingjiang lowered his head and called out, seeming to be a little shy.
Ouyang Rong actually wanted to hear the "fierce" junior sister's third wish, but Xie Xun smiled and stroked his beard and said no more.
"So there is this good story. Is the daughter admiring senior brother's deeds?" Zhen's eyes lit up as she listened, and she immediately went over to hold Xie Lingjiang's hand and exchanged greetings. She did not forget to turn around and complain about someone: " Hey, Tanlang, tell me, you don’t know how to write more letters to your junior sister on weekdays, why are you writing to unimportant people every day, and you are neglecting your own people."
"..." Ouyang Rong.
He is now very afraid that his aunt will spill the beans and say what she thinks about "his family" and "his wife"...
After Xie Xun and others paid homage to the Buddha, they were going to pay homage to a pagoda in the back mountain pagoda forest. The abbot of Donglin Temple personally received them and guided them, but Master Shandao hadn't come yet, so the group rested for a while in Sanhui Yuan.
Mrs. Zhen continued to take Xie Lingjiang aside to talk about family matters, asking about her studies, family affairs, and whether she had a sweetheart.
However, this talented girl of the Xie family, who was born in the direct lineage of Wuyi Lane, seemed to be a little resistant to being held by the woman and chatted endlessly. However, she still answered questions and remained polite and calm. During this period, she occasionally glanced at her father and senior brother who were reminiscing about the past at the stone table.
On the other side, Ouyang Rong didn't know what Xie Lingjiang was thinking, and he was slightly nervous at the moment.
Ouyang Rong was actually a little afraid of this mentor, and this "fear" was mostly caused by guilt.
Xie Xun was born in Jinlingfang, one of the direct descendants of the Xie family in Chen County. The Xie family of Chen County is one of the five surnames and seven hopes of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Together with the Wang family of Langya, they are called Wang Xie. They are truly a prominent family in the Six Dynasties.
During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, after Yi Guan traveled to the south, Wang Xie's ancestors and the southern royal family jointly ruled the world. They were so powerful that they were so powerful that even the emperor would only marry Wang Xie's daughter by default. Later, the Northern Dynasty won the victory and unified the world. The Sui Qian Dynasty was established one after another. The north was promoted and the south was demoted. The kings declined and were left at the end of the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes. In recent years, I heard that many kings had The direct wives moved back to Guanzhong one after another, close to the center of power of the empire.
But in Jiangnan Dao, the Xie family of Chen County is still one of the most admired and respected Jiangzuo gentry families.
The Xie family of Chen County is a family that prefers Confucianism and metaphysics. Xie Xun is known for his Confucianism. Xun resigned from his post and returned to Bailudong Academy to teach. I heard that the Wei family's descendants had personally come to visit him to make officials and make wishes, but they were all declined.
However, Xie Xun did not prevent his disciples from entering the court and becoming officials. When Ouyang Rong first entered Chang'an, it was smooth sailing because he was a disciple of Xie Xun. With this protective umbrella, Ouyang Rong even suspected that the empress had given him an official position and had a lot of money to buy it. The meaning of horse bones.
In addition, Ouyang Rong vaguely knew that this mentor had not actually conquered the world of mortals and retired to seclusion. The plaque in his study had the words "Drinking Ice" written on it. It seemed that he was still suffering from blood-heat.
As for which side the Li family and the Wei family are on in the dispute, it is naturally clear.
However, Ouyang Rong's previous remonstrance severely offended Princess Changle, who belonged to the Baoli sect. Later, it seemed that it was a private favor from his mentor Xie Xun, and he asked the noble Luoyang to save the life of his "high disciple", but he was sent to this flood. It’s just Longcheng County that’s serious.
So now, how can he not be "afraid" of his mentor's accountability?
"Teacher, come here, why didn't you write a letter to notify me?"
"Your aunt didn't tell you?"
"No... well, maybe I mentioned it before. I was still in bed recuperating from illness, and my head was often dizzy. I heard things wrong."
"You're still injured."
"never mind."
"good.
"When you're done, come down immediately and perform your duties. Don't delay."
"yes."
There was silence between master and disciple for a while, but this was also the way they got along in their memories.
Xie Xun is the kind of scholar who is easy to talk to at ordinary times, but when it comes to serious matters, he seems to be a different person, with a stern voice, and Ouyang Rong's previous temperament was also quick and quiet.
Even if the master and disciple expressed concern, they would just ask and answer questions like the one just now, concisely and concisely. If they say it's okay, then it's okay. They no longer care about how serious the injury was before. It has passed. They only look at the immediate things. It's not like Zhen's compassion for a woman.
Xie Xun was silent for a while.
"Your wife was a Buddhist when she was alive, and I built a stone pagoda for her in Donglin Temple. Every year during the rainy season, I would come here to pay homage to her, and this year was no exception. I brought Hanwan with me.
"Originally, I wasn't planning to inform you. You just took office in Dragon City, so you must be busy.
"But when we were transferring between water and land in Jiangzhou, I met your aunt. We knew each other when they visited you in the academy before. She was in a hurry to catch the waterway and passed by in a hurry, but she told me about your drowning and injury... So I brought Huanwan here today, hoping it won’t delay your business. But I’ll leave tomorrow, so it won’t matter.”
Ouyang Rong was silent.
The teacher and the student were speechless for a moment, sitting together on the stone bench with light gray clouds above their heads. The bamboo forest behind them was occasionally violently shaken by the mountain wind. For a while, their ears were filled with the rustle and noise of bamboo leaves, but nothing happened. The silence between the two of them could not be broken.
Until the bamboo forest stopped and the dark clouds stopped, Ouyang Rong turned around and said, "Teacher, what happened in Luoyang..."
"The host should have finished his work. Let's go and wait for him in the back mountain tower forest." Xie Xun shook his robe, as if he hadn't heard, he stood up with a smile and went to greet Xie Lingjiang and Zhen.
Ouyang Rong looked at the teacher's back and swallowed his words.
The group of people headed to Tallinn, and on the way they happened to meet Master Shandao who was stopping to explain the fortune and dreams of the female donor. After waiting for a while, Master Shandao was busy and led everyone to the stone pagoda donated and built by Xie Xun in the back mountain. .
The tower is nine stories high and surrounded by green bamboo.
During the service, Xie Xun looked up at the top of the tower for a while, with Ouyang Rong accompanying him.
"I always laughed at her for being superstitious. Later I realized that sometimes people really need to build a 'tower'. Anything can be stored in this tower. This way, even if it is thousands of miles away, knowing that it is there will give you peace of mind." "
"My condolences to the teacher."
When he came to the pagoda, Xie Xun seemed to talk too much, and Ouyang Rong chose to be a quiet listener.
Smoke hangs at the foot of the tower,
During a certain Buddhist ceremony, in the curl of green smoke, Xie Xun suddenly turned to him and said: "Actually, what you did is not wrong... Lianghan, the teacher is very happy to have a disciple like you."
Ouyang Rong was speechless.
…
After the ceremony, everyone turned around and left the stone forest one after another. Xie Xun and his party would stay in the temple for one night and have breakfast before leaving tomorrow.
On the way back, whether intentionally or not, Zhen and Xie Xun walked in front together to chat, leaving Ouyang Rong and Xie Lingjiang behind.
The two senior brothers and sisters walked side by side, but the distance between their arms was a bit far.
But Ouyang Rong thought it was normal, because he didn't know whether the younger junior sister was shy and secretly tied up her breasts to make them too flat, or whether her arms were too slender. If he walked too close and bumped into each other, he really didn't know whether the breasts would be touched first. It’s better to touch the arm first...
"Brother Lianghan, why did you lie just now?"
"No matter how big or small you are, you should call me Senior Brother."
Xie Ling Jiang Yan frowned slightly and looked forward, "If you don't shout, I'm not a few years younger. Let's talk about it as equals. It's better to treat each other as brothers."
Ouyang Rong noticed that the younger junior sister had some habitual pouts. This was a cute gesture on a woman, but because of the serious expression on her face as she stared straight ahead, it looked...even more adorable.
"Brother Lianghan, do you think that a little lie is nothing?"
"I don't know. But everything junior sister said is right."
"Brother Lianghan, you want to get me because I'm young?"
"no."
"Why is that?"
"Because junior sister is the biggest."
"Don't mean the same thing?"
"It doesn't mean the same thing."
"Just the same thing!"
"Then let's have the same idea."
"..."
Xie Lingjiang suddenly felt that it was not unreasonable for his senior brother to be kicked by mistake.
