C407 Three Li Lane
Ouyang Tongle glanced at him and asked, "Do you regret giving me silver taels?"
Little Zhuge smiled and said, "Of course not!"
Ouyang Tongle said, "Then why did you stop me from placing the bet?"
Little Zhuge said, "As the saying goes, nine out of ten bets. I just want senior to win money. "
Who knew that Ouyang Tongle would not accept it? "I appreciate your good intentions. However, I still have to go to Three Mile Lane to see Miss Nine later. As for whether I win or lose, it's up to fate!" After saying that, he placed the silver in his hand down.
Little Zhuge had already guessed that he would definitely lose this bet. However, what he did not expect was that Ouyang Tongle did not feel depressed at all because he lost money. On the contrary, Ouyang Tongle, who had lost money, seemed even happier.
Little Zhuge could not help smiling bitterly in his heart. "It is not his own money. Of course he should be happy. "
Ouyang Tongle left the gambling house after losing the money. Little Zhuge and the others followed closely behind. When they walked to the entrance of the gambling house, Ouyang Tongle suddenly stopped and said unhappily, "Why are the three of you following me?"
Little Zhuge and the others looked at each other. At this time, Ouyang Guang said, "Fourth Uncle, are you going to Three Mile Lane?"
Ouyang Tongle did not hide anything and said, "If you lose money, of course you have to go to Miss Nine!" Then he shouted angrily, "Don't follow me!"
At this time, a jujube red horse was speeding over from afar. A woman was sitting on it. She was wearing a long white dress and seemed to be young. She approached Ouyang Tongle and dismounted. As for what she said, she didn't hear it clearly, but judging from her behavior, she must be a familiar junior.
Little Zhuge asked, "Does your fourth uncle recognize that woman?"
Ouyang Guang smiled and said, "Of course he does. Not only does he recognize her, I also recognize her. "
Little Zhuge said, "Oh?"
Ouyang Guang said again, "She is the third daughter of Third Uncle Ouyang Tongshou. Her name is Ouyang Lan. She is also my sixth sister. She was in charge of the medicinal herbs business in the distant Lin Ling. She seldom comes back. This time, she must come back for Grandfather's birthday!"
"Senior Ouyang Boyuan wants to celebrate his birthday?"
Ouyang Guang nodded and said: "Yes! It will be the third day of next month. I hope that the few of you will be able to enjoy a few cups of wine in the manor. "
Little Zhuge smiled and said, "Of course!"
Ouyang Lan drove her horse to Little Zhuge and the others. She just nodded at Ouyang Guang and then urged the horse to leave.
Little Zhuge could not help but sigh and said, "You siblings don't seem to have a very good relationship. "
Ouyang Guang smiled bitterly and said, "The grudges of the previous generation, as juniors, we are also involved in it. I hope that the grudges of Ouyang family will be settled soon, and the family will be happy and harmonious. "
Wishes were always as sweet as honey, but reality was always as bitter as a yellow chain.
When one's reputation and power increased, there would inevitably be some conflicts when there were more people in the family. The current Ouyang family was like a small world of martial arts. There must be a lot of grudges and gratitude involved as well.
Three miles of alley, three miles of incense. It was said that the alley was named after the length of three miles. The whole alley was long and noisy, and there were all kinds of peddlers on both sides of the alley who were peddling.
Ouyang Tongle was leisurely shuttling back and forth in the alley. Many peddlers greeted him warmly and called him Master Xiao Yao.
He came to a tofu shop in the depths of the alley. The little donkey was desperately pulling the mill. A sweet-looking woman used a straw brush to whip the little donkey. Ouyang Tongle lifted the curtain and walked inside. The smile on his face was like that of a naive child.
When the woman saw him, she quickly put down the work at hand and filled a bowl of tofu pudding for him. She asked with concern, "Are you hungry?" Ouyang Tongle held the bowl and wolfed down the food.
The woman's name was Miss Jiu. She was a famous tofu maker in Jizhou. She and Ouyang Tongle had known each other since they were young, and everyone in Jizhou knew about their relationship. It was a pity that there was a huge difference in status between the two families, and Miss Jiu didn't want to delay the future of the person she loved. She had lived alone for so long, and Ouyang Tongle was also infatuated with her. They had been married until now, and in the end, the two of them had become their current situation.
Ouyang Tongle could live and eat at Ninth Lady's place, but he had never done anything out of line. Ninth Lady could make Ouyang Tongle do anything, but she had never asked him to do anything.
Such a relationship was enviable, and it made people sigh.
As Ouyang Tongle was enjoying his meal, he suddenly heard someone shouting from outside, "Give me two bowls of tofu pudding and ask Ouyang Tongle to come out and see me as soon as possible. "
Ninth Miss walked in front with two bowls of tofu pudding in her hands. Ouyang Tongle followed behind her with a bowl in his hands. He carefully sized up the two people. One was a young man with a long sword in his hand, and the other was a handsome young man. He looked at them for a long time, and after confirming that he did not know the two people in front of him, he said. "You and I know each other?"
In fact, these two people were Duan Tianya and Huizi. Back then, he had discussed with Little Zhuge. In order to avoid unnecessary complications, they did not intend to enter the Ouyang's Mansion together. The main reason was that they all thought that this matter was not as simple as it sounded. In the end, the two of them thought of a solution. The two of them were in the dark. This way, he could avoid getting into a fight. As for how to contact each other, the Wutong tree behind Ouyang's Mansion was the most suitable.
Duan Tianya smiled and said, "We don't know each other. "
Ouyang Tongle was puzzled and asked, "Then why are you looking for me?"
Duan Tianya said, "I want to ask you something!"
Ouyang Tongle said, "I never like to answer other people's questions. "
Duan Tianya smiled and said, "If you don't answer my question, I will find trouble with this Ninth Lady. "
"You dare!" Ouyang Tongle, who had always been calm, suddenly had a gloomy expression. He threw the bowl in his hand towards the sky and appeared in front of Duan Tianya in a flash. He gathered the energy in his Dantian and struck out dozens of palm strikes in a row. His Qi was heavy and powerful, and his moves were completed in one go.
Duan Tianya stood still on the spot. He stabbed the long sword into the ground and stabilized his body. He raised his arms and forcefully received the dozen palm strikes.
Ouyang Tongle returned to his original position. The bowl he threw in the air had already been smashed into pieces. At this time, Ninth Miss walked up to him and complained in a low voice. "Look at you, a bowl that was perfectly fine was broken by you just like that. " Although her tone was stern, she didn't have the slightest intention of blaming him.
Ouyang Tongle suddenly became like a child who had made a mistake. He scratched the back of his head. He looked up and asked Duan Tianya, "Do you have silver taels on you?"
Duan Tianya was stunned. Then he smiled. He took out a silver ingot from his pocket and threw it to Ouyang Tongle. He said, "How about we go in and have a drink?"
Ouyang Tongle was a little embarrassed. "Miss Jiu doesn't like people drinking at the tofu shop. "
Duan Tianya asked, "You are no exception?"
Ouyang Tongle said firmly. "Of course I am!"
