"Looking at it this way, Ouyang Changshi and Yuan Sima are very familiar with each other."

"He is quite familiar with Dongmei, but I... am not very familiar with him." Ouyang Rong said with a straight face.

"Dongmei?" Lin Cheng was stunned, took out a scroll from his arms, glanced at it, and the corner of his mouth twitched:

"A jujube... big red horse?"

Ouyang Rong nodded: "It's Aiju."

"You two... have a very special relationship." Lin Cheng sighed with emotion and asked again:

"Then Ouyang Changshi knows that local officials like this kind of officials who were demoted from Beijing officials to provincial ministers will not have too much interaction with them, because such demoted officials must have committed serious crimes. If they interact,

If someone catches you again, you may be dismissed from your job.

"So, Ouyang Changshi has a bright future, so why did he put himself in danger and come to him repeatedly to appreciate the piano..."

Ouyang Rong asked curiously:

"Mr. Lin Lingtai, have you forgotten that I was also demoted from the imperial government?"

He nodded seriously:

"Besides, the crime Brother Huaimin committed may not be as serious as mine. He should be more careful."

Lin Cheng was slightly startled and laughed dumbly:

"Okay, it seems that I want to stay away from Ouyang Changshi."

"Lang Lingtai is joking."

"It's a joke, Ouyang Changshi's experience can be said to be a legend in our Zhou Dynasty. In the Jinshi Department of that year, there should be no more famous hero than Ouyang Changshi until now.

"Speaking of which, Ouyang Changshi's official position can be regarded as the highest in this field. It seems that there is only one other person in the same year and fifth rank, and he is just an idle official in the capital. How can there be such a powerful official like Ouyang Changshi."

"Really? I didn't pay much attention to it, but Mr. Lin Lingtai knows quite a lot."

"To be honest, Chang Shi, Si Tianjian has a copy of your file." Lin Cheng said softly: "Actually, I am very envious of Ouyang Chang Shi."

"Why are you envious?"

"Speaking of which, I am from a poor family. It is really difficult for us poor people to climb up. I am not as lucky as Ouyang Changshi."

"Don't like the word climb."

Ouyang Rong shook his head: "Furthermore, I heard from people that Xia Guan Lingtailang is not an ordinary official. He has a bright future in Sitian Prison. Brother Lin is still humble."

"Different."

Lin Cheng shook his head: "Those of us who are in charge of the Tianjian, no matter how promoted we are, are just inner court officials, specializing in serving saints. How can there be Ouyang Changshi who has a bright official career. When he retires, he can become a high official in the border area, and when he enters, he can be crowned king and prime minister.

…

"It is impossible to say that before the age of forty, one can enter the political hall, wear red and purple, and become a young prince known to the whole court. After his death, he can easily be buried in Beimang Mountain, where only princes, generals and ministers can be buried."

Lin Cheng stretched his fingers and counted carefully:

"Be admitted to the imperial examination, marry a girl with the fifth surname, and be buried in Beimang. Of the three things that a man in the Zhou Dynasty dreams of doing, Ouyang Changshi has already accomplished two."

"Yeah?"

Ouyang Rong looked thoughtful. After a moment, he asked seriously: "Can you have more? Three seems not enough."

"..."

Lin Cheng shook his head, moved his eyes downward, and pointed at the piano case in Ouyang Rong's arms:

"I heard Yuan Sima mentioned that Ouyang Changshi often comes to him with his piano case. Your Excellency loves the piano, can you take a look at it?"

Ouyang Rong didn't say anything. He opened the piano case in his arms with a calm expression.

Lin Cheng glanced.

I saw an ordinary and simple long piano lying quietly inside the box.

Lin Cheng bent his fingers to hook the strings, tried the sound of the piano, and exclaimed: "It's a good piano."

Of course it belongs to Hao Qin, a certain little princess with plum blossom makeup.

Ouyang Rong smiled, put away the piano case, hugged his arms again, lowered his felt hat, and asked Lin Cheng casually:

"When will Mr. Lin Lingtai return to Beijing?"

Lin Cheng didn't answer, but suddenly said: "Ouyang Changshi, do you know that Rong Nushi attaches great importance to you?"

"What's the meaning?"

"It's a big favor to write a letter to help you plead for an extension."

"Why."

"Because the person who most hopes that the Donglin Giant Buddha will be completed soon, apart from Your Majesty, should be Rong Zhen. For her, the sooner the better, but now in order to cooperate with Ouyang Changshi, she helped to write a letter to postpone this matter...

Everyone in Si Tian Prison who knew about it was very surprised."

Ouyang Rong glanced at Lin Cheng, then lowered his eyes and said:

"Really? She has never told me this, and she doesn't talk much about the Buddha. She just let me watch it."

Lin Cheng leisurely said:

"So I am very curious about how Ouyang Changshi persuaded Rong Nushi to help."

Ouyang Rong raised his eyebrows slightly.
