"Good nephew!"

Juxian Garden, study room.

Facing the figure of the young county magistrate and weak-headed counselor sitting silently at the bottom of a row of seats directly in front of him.

Li Xian choked with sobs, her sleeves were wet with tears, she was happy and crying, unable to make a sound.

He is not a resolute, strong and profound person, but in the eyes of the world, he is indecisive, sentimental and weak.

It's a pity that he has a queen mother who is iron-handed and lusty for power.

He was born in the emperor's family by mistake again.

He is not as smart and tolerant as his eighth brother Xiang Wang Li Lun.

This indecisive, sentimental and weak character might be regarded as kind, considerate, affectionate and righteous if placed in a commoner or wealthy family. To his wife and children, he could be regarded as a good husband and father.

But he is not a good emperor or a good lord.

Li Xian deeply felt this a long time ago, after experiencing the turmoil of deposing the emperor and being demoted to a commoner.

In the past, those close friends in the East Palace who he treated generously and favorably left him one by one, silently severing contact.

The only one who didn't hesitate to resign and follow was Mr. Yuan, who was old-fashioned and pedantic but respected benevolence and etiquette.

After experiencing the ups and downs of life, Li Xian became disheartened and paralyzed himself.

He changed his name to Su and spent more than ten years living in a small town in the south of the Yangtze River. He was worthy of the word "idle" in his name.

But how can ordinary people accept this kind of gap from emperor to common people?

Li Xian actually held back. He had a weak character. He once told himself over and over again that "becoming a rich man" was the best ending.

Moreover, he can grow old together with his wife and accompany Fusu and Guo'er to grow up. This is a true love that was difficult to experience in the imperial family, and one must be content with it.

Until last month, the Luoyang court sent an angel again, and it was his old "love rival". He was scared to death. The "jue" presented by his mother still made him afraid to approach it.

What really changed Li Xian's mentality was the story of "Zheng Bo Duan Yu Yan" told by Ouyang Rong not long ago;

On the fifteenth day, Wei Shaoxuan lifted up the sheepskin and bared his fangs to hunt down his wife and children.

The latter ignited the anger and fear in his chest.

The former, the wise and wise nephew in front of him, gave Li Xian hope.

He no longer wants to be this useless person who is precarious, even being teased and chased by his children and nephews, and having his beloved daughter raped.

Even though this thought made him tremble with fear, the figure of the Iron Blood Queen in front of him covered the sky and made him despair.

But Li Xian still took this step and tried his best to retain Liang Han's nephew.

Not for his own lust for power, but for Meiniang, Fusu and Guoer.

It doesn't matter that he is a coward and is waiting to die.

But Fusu and Guo'er couldn't do that. They were still young. They were the "proper" children of the Li clan, and their fate should not be the same as that of a useless person like him.

Li Xian trembled all over.

Today, I have family behind me.

There is no way to retreat.

Being weak doesn't mean you can be bullied without a bottom line.

In the study room.

Li Xian tried his best to open his eyes wide and suppress his tears. Looking at the weak-headed counselor in front of him who once crushed Wei Shaoxuan, the sixth son of King Wei, into mincemeat, he was filled with excitement and guilt that he was indebted to him for resigning.

Even after Ouyang Rong walked into the Su Mansion today, he came to Dalang Fusu's study and made some kind of silent statement.

But Li Xian was still undeterred in his gratitude and had no grudges.

After all, wouldn't his be the eldest son Fusu's from now on?

This is the undisputed consensus of the whole family.

Wei Mei loves her eldest son most.

Guo'er also has a very good relationship with his elder brother. The two are siblings, and Fusu has doted on his younger sister since childhood and would give in to anything.

Although Li Xian still has one or two concubines, they are still babies waiting to be fed;

If they hadn't been separated when the disaster came, they would have gone back to their parents' home with the snobbish concubine, far away in a foreign land, and they wouldn't have followed him to Longcheng to endure hardships, and their lives would have been precarious.

Naturally, the feelings cannot be compared with those of Li Xian, Li Fusu, Li Guo'er and Wei Mei.

The four of them share joys and sorrows in Longcheng, and their family bond is the strongest.

Li Xian covered his face and cried for a while, wiped away his tears, and his emotions calmed down. He was a little at a loss for a while, and said to Ouyang Rong in shame:

"Made Liang Han's wise nephew laugh."

Ouyang Rong shook his head: "My uncle is really kind."

Li Xian felt ashamed: "But it has delayed Lianghan's future."

Ouyang Rong shook his head, pondered for a moment, and whispered:

"I have promised Fusu that from today on, I will come to your house to do my best."

Li Xian hurriedly waved his hand: "What are you talking about Lianghan!"

At this time, he couldn't help but glance sideways and glanced at Ouyang Rong's eyes. Li Xian found that his eyes were faintly purple, as if they had been like this ever since he was at the county government office.

I don't know if it's a lighting problem.

Ouyang Rong seemed to notice Li Xian's gaze and lowered his eyes slightly.

At this time, Wei Mei and Li Bao'er came over carrying refreshments.

Wei Mei was extremely cordial and served Ouyang Rong tea. Li Guoer stood by silently and helped, but the usually arrogant little girl with plum blossom makeup was a bit quieter in the study today.

"Nephew Liang Han, moisten your throat. This is a snack I made. You should try it too. It will relieve the heat."

Ouyang Rong shook his head, "Junior sister likes this, let her try it."

He motioned to Wei Mei and asked them to take the ice cream-like cake to the junior sister sitting opposite, who just looked at him eagerly.

The two brothers and sisters are getting closer and closer to each other.

Li Guo'er saw it, including the sweet smile on Xie's sister's lips.

I couldn’t resist the iced snacks, but I couldn’t resist the tea.

Li Xian's face turned serious, and he called Li Fusu, who was scratching his head, and asked him to bow to Ouyang Rongzhi, and Li Fusu obediently did so.

For a moment, the father and son, who were the direct lineage of Emperor Taizong, served tea and water in front of Ouyang Rong, just like servants.

Ouyang Rong took a helpless sip of tea, immediately stood up and refused, forcing them to sit down.

"Uncle and Da Lang don't have to be so generous." After a pause, he nodded and said: "In the future, don't call me your wise nephew and good man. Just call me Tan Lang."

Li Xian and Li Fusu were overjoyed.

"Uncle, aunt, Da Lang, and Miss Li, please take a seat."

Ouyang Rong said casually, he lowered his eyes and covered up the purple light in his eyes. At the moment, his mind was a little distracted and focused on something.

Ouyang Rong glanced in the direction of Luoyang where he ordered Song Hao to leave.

Just after he politely declined the imperial edict and sent Song Hao out, he stepped out of the courtroom. In the quaint little tower in his mind, an ancient bronze bell suddenly trembled, and a familiar purple mist gushed out.

A sudden blessing.

Ouyang Rong was slightly surprised.

It requires two thousand [merits].

Ouyang Rong just took a moment to take a look on his way to Su Mansion.

Well, he wasn't enough.

at present.

[Merits: one thousand five hundred and eighty-one]

Ouyang Rong sighed.

These days, he has found that [merit] is very difficult to earn.

Since the flood control incident, Ouyang Rong spent all the [merits] he had carefully accumulated on the fifteenth day.

The growth of [merit] is very slow.

Recently, he has been working hard on the new ferry crossing of Zheyi Canal. In addition, he has presided over the construction of some scattered buildings at the corners that collapsed during the flood, as well as caring for the families of the flood control martyrs.

For more than half a month, Ling Ouyang Rong only increased by more than 1,500 [merits], and now he is still short of nearly 500.

Ouyang Rong was ready to give up, but this new blessing seemed to last a little long after it was triggered.

The Heavenly Official ordered Song Hao and his entourage to move away, the purple energy still lingering in their eyes.

Don't know how long it will last.

Ouyang Rong lowered his head to drink tea, covered the box and put it aside for the time being.

At this moment, the young magistrate looked up and found that he had become the only focus in the study, and all eyes were turned to him.

He was obviously sitting at the end of the row of seats, but Li Xian and Li Fusu did not sit down. Instead, they stood beside him and served him tea.

Wei Mei and Li Guo'er also stood upright, looking at him with two pairs of wonderful eyes.

As for the little junior sister, she was eating Sushan with a silver spoon opposite, looking at him with crescent eyes.

"There is still business today. Uncle and Da Lang, please take a seat."

Ouyang Rong stood up helplessly and asked the two of them to sit down. The latter had no choice but to obey.

Ouyang Rong did not sit down anymore and asked directly to everyone:

"Uncle, where is the jade that His Majesty gave you earlier? Get it."

Li Fusu went out immediately, and after a while he took out a jade jewel.

Ouyang Rong reached out and took it. The jade jue was wrapped in a brocade box and red satin. It looked like a hollow full moon, but one corner was missing, which was really a pity.

Seeing this, Li Xian asked expectantly: "What's Tan Lang's wonderful solution? Is there a mystery in the jade jue given by the queen?"

"Mystery?"

Ouyang Rong glanced at Yujue and shook his head, "I don't know." The next second, he suddenly raised his hand and Yujue hit the ground.

"Ding Ju——!"

A crisp sound.

The jade jue given by the empress fell into pieces and splashed all over the room.

Everyone was shocked, and Li Xian showed a trace of fear.

"Sorry for the slippery hands, Dalang. Let's clean it up later." Ouyang Rong patted the dust on his hands and chuckled: "Ha, since it's Jue and there's still a gap, then don't take it."

Everyone was shocked and confused, but seeing his calm expression, they calmed down a little.

"Da Lang will clean it himself. Don't let outsiders see it." Li Xian lowered his voice and ordered, looking a little panicked.

Ouyang Rong turned his head directly and asked Li Guo'er and Wei Mei:

"How much money is there in the house that can be directly used, um, including your birthday gifts in recent years."

Li Guoer did not hesitate and reported the number.

Xie Lingjiang held the silver spoon in his hand, raised his head and looked sideways, with milk on the corner of his lips, which was quite cute.

As expected of a princess, a birthday gift is like grabbing money.

She pouted.

Ouyang Rong said calmly: "I want to use it."

Li Guo'er asked: "Okay, how much do you want?"

Ouyang Rong nodded: "Take out a thousand taels of gold first."

"Well, it's not too much." Li Guo'er was slightly relieved.

Ouyang Rong shook his head:

"I haven't finished talking yet. I took out these thousand taels of gold and gave them to my junior sister.

"Take out all the rest immediately. Don't leave a penny left. Dalang takes the money and goes to Liulang first. He will find someone to escort you."

"..." Li Guo'er.

Ouyang Rong continued: "We rush to Donglin Temple together, find Master Shandao, and tell us that I asked you to come. Give all the money to him, and he will understand."

"What do we use so much money for?" Wei Mei interrupted, feeling a little pained.

Ouyang Rong narrowed his eyes: "It's not us, it's my uncle. His conscience suddenly hurt, so he donated the largest Buddhist pagoda in the south of the Yangtze River. Well, it was built on a certain underground palace. The original site of the rosette, there is nothing wrong with it."

Everyone looked at each other.

"Why do you suddenly want to build such a big pagoda..." Li Xian looked a little hesitant.

Seeing this, Ouyang Rong turned to Li Xian and said:

"If you are reluctant or doubtful, then forget it. I am presumptuous enough to bother you and take my leave..."

"Don't, don't, don't!" Li Xian quickly grabbed Ouyang Rong and nodded vigorously: "I believe that whatever Liang Han says will be whatever he says! Mei Niang, Bao'er, do it immediately!"

"yes."

Ouyang Rong nodded slightly, put his hands behind his back, and said Youyou: "Junior sister brings a thousand taels of gold... By the way, I still have some, so little junior sister will take it too."

He took out the coil from his sleeve, handed it out without any distress, smiled and said:

"Junior sister immediately rushes to the prosperous Guangzhou Mansion on Lingnan Road to buy a jade ring that is in the best condition and perfect. Remember, it is a jade ring. Bring it back.

"Also, look around the market. If there are jade rings with the same origin and texture as it, buy them all, and then...

"Just find a place and follow my example. Let's just keep that one. Remember, in the short term, we must ensure that there is no second similar one in the big week. We need to be unique."

Xie Lingjiang didn't ask and nodded directly.

Li Fusu was curious, "Lianghan, what are we doing to buy a jade ring?"

Ouyang Rong chuckled: "Why buy jade rings? We didn't buy them. Don't talk nonsense."

"..."

He pointed to the pieces of jade jue on the ground and contradicted himself: "Look, the jade jue your majesty gave to the unfilial son has actually come back round."

The young county magistrate faced the frowning crowd and said cheerfully:

"After the construction of the pagoda started, my uncle lived in Donglin Temple day and night to pray for my mother who worships Buddhism. You are a filial son. Your conscience is very painful. You are changing your past mistakes. Don't forget it."

"Then, after the junior sister comes back with Yuhuan, then..."

He paused, nodded, and changed his words:

"Well, it was the 'Yujue' we enshrined in the pagoda, and it grew back into a jade ring on its own. Uncle, you just chanted sutras day and night, and accidentally discovered it on a windy and rainy night, together with many masters.

"Hey, the jade jade is like the moon, and the moon is waxing and waning. This is auspicious. It's a joy to congratulate. It's a joy to congratulate.

"It's just that being a filial son has been a physical and technical job since ancient times. It's windy and rainy outside. Although the Buddha was moved and his filial piety is a lesson, it's still hard to bear physically."

Ouyang Rong turned around again:

"I remember that junior sister knows the Taoist doctor from Yuqing Pavilion Zaoshan? When you come back from Lingnan, you can ask for a prescription immediately.

"It's best if it's a medicine that can make people sick but doesn't cause serious harm. It's better if the symptoms are more severe. Of course, the antidote must be prepared."

"Did you take medicine to get sick?" the junior sister was curious.

He laughed and said:

“Sickness is easy to say and difficult to say. Sometimes it just doesn’t come, and sometimes it comes just as it comes.

"Uncle is too honest and his acting skills are not good, so take medicine just in case."

Everyone was stunned and looked away. Li Xian was also stunned, and finally nodded honestly: "Okay, okay, I'll eat, I'll eat, just listen to Lianghan."

Ouyang Rong thought for a while and sighed:

"Finally, we cannot hide this auspiciousness, as it would be disrespectful to His Majesty, but offering auspiciousness is a technical job.

"Well, I need to find someone to help me do it. I am thin-skinned and a gentleman. I am not suitable for such flattery. My style does not match my style. By the way, which hero should I find..."

The young county magistrate slowly cast his eyes in the direction of Longcheng County Government. After a while, he stretched his brows, smiled and nodded:

"Yes."
