During these five days, Li Zhengyan and others were attending banquets every day in Xunyang City.

Unlike other demoted officials who were frustrated and miserable and living in a foreign land, Li Zhengyan and others were very popular among Xunyang literati.

As soon as he arrived in Jiangzhou, he was warmly welcomed by all parties in Xunyang City, especially the scholars.

Of course, except for Wang Lengran's group.

Li Zhengyan and others, as former extreme separatists in the DPRK, regarded the Wei family as incompatible with each other.

Li Zhengyan has called Ouyang Rong to every dinner these days.

And this weak-guan Changshi, who rarely attended banquets of Xunyang scholars,

Thank you so much, I come back every time.

It's just... I get drunk every time.

Not long after the banquet started, he failed. Even if he only had a few drinks, he was still too drunk. He was supported by Yan Shenjun and others and returned drunk.

Well, in the eyes of Li Zhengyan and others, he is a foodie, loves to drink, and also likes to make harsh words, which is a bit outrageous.

But wine is something that cannot be left out at literati banquets.

Li Zhengyan and others were speechless and realized that if people who drank at banquets in the past had the purpose of making others drunk, then Ouyang Lianghan was different. He was greedy for drinks and made himself drunk.

Later, every time there was a banquet, every time Ouyang Rong made a gesture to stand up, everyone's eyelids would jump up and they would quickly ask him to stop...

On this day, the dinner was held at the house of a former minister of Chunguan in Xiushuifang who resigned from office to retire.

Li Zhengyan, Wei Shaoqi and others were invited and came.

Ouyang Rong was also invited to the banquet.

Not long after the banquet started, the host suddenly had something urgent and temporarily left.

Li Zhengyan turned around and asked before Ouyang Rong, who had just sat down, was about to drink.

"I kept forgetting to ask. We who are not doing our jobs are traveling around Xunyang, having fun and drinking. We should not disturb Lianghan's business during the day."

Ouyang Rong replied with a smile: "I am just a little long history. If you have any business, come and have a drink."

Li Zhengyan waved his hand to stop him and asked sincerely: "I heard that Liang Han has a very good personal relationship with King Xunyang's family."

Ouyang Rong was puzzled: "Where did you hear this? It seems that I have never been invited to the dinner party at Prince Xunyang's Mansion. How can I have a personal relationship with you? However, I often contact you on official business."

Having said this, he shook his head, blinked his eyes again and said:

"Speaking of which, speaking of personal relationships, I should have a better relationship with Mr. Li and you. I've been drinking a lot lately. Well, I finally met my match in terms of drinking capacity."

After finishing speaking, he raised his head and drank a glass without saying a word.

Next to them, Wei Shaoqi, Wang Junzhi and others were looking intently at picking up vegetables. The corners of their mouths twitched.

"Yeah."

Li Zhengyan looked at the subtle expression on Ouyang Rong's drunken face carefully and continued to ask:

"But I heard before when I was in Luoyang that when Lianghan was the Order of Dragon City, the Xunyang King's family was also exiled to Longcheng. I also heard that Lianghan was adjacent to it, and the house was generously donated by the Xunyang Wang family...

"Now that we are both in Xunyang City, our personal friendship should not be bad."

"Well, there are quite a lot of little rumors out there, and they are all organized quite smoothly." Ouyang Rong smiled drunkenly, pointed at his official uniform and the floor of the hall under his feet, and said:

"What a coincidence, your official uniform was also given by Her Majesty the Queen, and the house where Mr. He, the old servant who is treating me tonight, returned home after retirement was also gifted by Her Majesty the Queen. Our private relationship with Your Majesty should be even better."

As soon as these words came out, Du Shuqing at the table frowned slightly, and Wei Shaoqi and Wang Junzhi looked at each other silently.

Li Zhengyan was not annoyed, but smiled and said: "How can there be such a comparison? Lianghan drank too much again. Come on, eat more vegetables."

With that said, he put a piece of steamed lion's head into Ouyang Rong's bowl.

Ouyang Rong's face turned red and he smiled and took another sip of wine.

Li Zhengyan also took a sip of wine, put down his chopsticks, and sighed:

"Is this really the case? Well, then I might have been abrupt."

When Ouyang Rongguang was found picking up food and was too drunk to answer the question, Li Zhengyan continued:

"Liang Han doesn't know what happened. The thing is like this. When King Xunyang was still in Luoyang, he was kind to Brother Wei and me. We haven't seen each other for many years and we miss him very much.

"It's a pity that we are relegated now and are in the limelight, so we can't pay a visit too ostentatiously. It would be better if someone familiar with us recommends us.

"So, I heard that Lianghan had a good personal relationship with Prince Xunyang, so I took the liberty to come and ask your teacher and Brother Shen."

He paused and asked calmly: "They should have mentioned it to Lianghan's letter."

Ouyang Rong nodded and admitted generously:

"I mentioned it, but I haven't contacted the teacher and Mr. Shen for a long time. They probably don't know. I have sent a letter to explain.

"But since Mr. Li is a good friend of Teacher and Lord Shen, I should do my best to receive you."

He frowned slightly, as if he had put himself in Li Zhengyan's shoes and thought a little bit:

"Actually, because of the construction of the Buddha statue, I often communicate with the prince during the day on official business. Well, I should be able to talk a little. If Mr. Li has anything to say and want to send, I can bring it to you."

Li Zhengyan glanced at Ouyang Rong, who looked drunk but had a very sincere attitude, pursed his lips, shook his head and said nothing.

Ouyang Rong raised his glass and drank with Wei Shaoqi and others around him. He turned around and asked suddenly:

"By the way, Mr. Li has been here in Xunyang City for so long. Didn't he send me a letter or something?"

Li Zhengyan had a dark face and sighed in frustration: "I handed over a letter, but no news."

Ouyang Rong comforted:

"Your Majesty has taken over the post of Superintendent of the Jiangnan Province. He has devoted himself to Her Majesty the Queen. He has been very busy recently. Maybe he didn't see the post. Mr. Li, don't think too much about it. You can wait a little longer."

Listening to these seemingly meaningful words, Wei Shaoqi said coldly: "I'm afraid that the prince has already seen it."

He didn't say anything else.

The atmosphere at the table became quiet.

"Why didn't you reply when you saw it?"

Ouyang Rong's tone was confused and his words were a little presumptuous:

"I understand, the prince actually pretended not to see it. How could he be like this? After all, there was a friendship between king and minister."

It was quiet for a while, and everyone who couldn't help but slightly opened their eyes saw him waving boldly with a drunken look on his face:

"Okay, Mr. Li, if you have anything you want to say, tell me and I will pass the message on to you, how about that?"

Li Zhengyan remained silent.

Someone who is drunk does not feel embarrassed.

After a while, the former governor of Meizhou, who came to Jiangzhou specially, suddenly raised his glass and laughed:

"Come, Lianghan, drink."

"Okay, okay."

About half an hour later.

After the host and guests enjoyed themselves, the banquet was over and everyone dispersed.

Ouyang Changshi, who had no choice but to be sent out by Mr. He, Li Zhengyan and others with a smile on his face, left the banquet mansion drunkenly with the support of Yan Liulang who was accompanying him at the banquet.

The two of them passed by a dark alley on the side of the street.

Ouyang Rong, who was drunk and decadent, suddenly put aside his arms, turned into the dark alley next to him, and got into a quiet carriage that had been waiting for a long time. He immediately looked towards the carriage where Hong Shang, who was holding his chin with his hand and waiting gently and patiently,

Qianying, speak directly:
