After listening to Zhou Chen's words, Jiang Long immediately understood that what Zhou Chen wrote to Yang Shiqi was not a letter of accusation, but a letter of recommendation. He recommended Nangong Cheng, Ouyang Zhan and Hua Manchun to Yang Shiqi, hoping that Yang Shiqi

You can recommend them to the court and let them serve the court.

Jiang Long is in the officialdom, and of course he hopes that his friends can also enter the officialdom. Although Zhou Chen's approach is a bit unkind, Jiang Long can also agree. At the same time, Jiang Long also thought that although he and Ouyang Zhan are close friends, they rarely meet each other.

We finally met, but now we have to say goodbye again, and it is inevitable that he feels reluctant to leave. He also wants to see off these friends of his. So Jiang Long said to Zhou Chen: "Master Zhou, Ouyang Zhan and I are good friends, and I want to see them off again."

Send them!”

Zhou Chen glanced at Jiang Long and said goodbye to his best friend, feeling reluctant to part with him. This is human nature. Zhou Chen couldn't refuse, but he was also afraid that Jiang Long would tell Nangong Cheng and the others the content of the letter. After the conversation just now,

Zhou Chen knew that Nangong Cheng, Hua Manchun and Ouyang Zhan had no intention of becoming officials. If they knew the content of the letter, the letter would never get into Yang Shiqi's hands, and they might destroy it halfway. Zhou Chen said:

"This is human nature. You can send it to them, but you can't tell them the content of the letter."

"Yes, Lord Zhou, please rest assured. I also hope that these three people can serve the court like me." Jiang Long cupped his fists at Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen nodded.

Jiang Long did not go after Nangong Cheng and the others directly, but first bought two horses and a carriage.

…

Nangong Cheng and his party left Hangzhou City and arrived at the outskirts of Hangzhou.

On the outskirts of Hangzhou, the spring scenery is bright, the grass is green, and it is a prosperous scene.

"How about we take a look at the content of the letter?" Ouyang Zhan also suspected that what Zhou Chen wrote to Yang Shiqi was not a report letter at all, so he was the first to ask to see the letter.

"No!" Xiang Tianyu covered his chest with his hands where he placed the letter, as if he was afraid that Ouyang Zhan would come and grab the letter, "Since we promised Zhou Chen not to read the letter, we can't read the letter."

Ouyang Zhan said with a smile: "That's what you promised for us, and I didn't agree. So you can't watch it, but we can all watch it."

"Okay! You want to read the letter, right? Then grab the letter from me!" After Xiang Tianyu finished speaking, he hugged Nangong Cheng's right arm tightly with both hands, and then looked at Ouyang provocatively.

Look forward.

Nangong Cheng looked at Xiang Tianyu and smiled. This feeling of being relied on was really good, and Nangong Cheng also found it very useful.

Of course, Ouyang Zhan knew that it was impossible to snatch the letter, because if he did it, Nangong Cheng would do it too. Ouyang Zhan knew that he was no match for Nangong Cheng. So Ouyang Zhan could only sigh helplessly and said: "Are you really going to do it?

Do you believe that Zhou Chen’s letter to Yang Shiqi is a report letter?”

These words aroused Nangong Cheng's curiosity, and Nangong Cheng asked: "What does this mean?"

"It's not interesting, I just don't believe that what Zhou Chen gave Yang Shiqi was a report letter." Ouyang Zhan said.

Nangong Cheng also felt that what Ouyang Zhan said made sense. After all, Zhou Chen wanted to recommend them to the court at first, so he said to Xiang Tianyu in a negotiating tone: "How about we read Zhou Chen's letter?

"

"Do you also want me to be a faithless person?" Xiang Tianyu angrily said to Nangong Chengdao.

Ouyang Zhan said: "What does it matter if you have no faith? Anyway, Confucius also said that only villains and women are difficult to raise."

"This is the most wrong thing Confucius said! I don't care about other women. Anyway, I have to be benevolent, righteous, courteous, wise and trustworthy." After Xiang Tianyu finished speaking, he ignored Nangong Cheng and the others and walked forward quickly.

Leave Nangong Cheng and the others behind.

Ouyang Zhan said: "How about we snatch the letter from her hand!"

Nangong Cheng glanced at Ouyang Zhan, and of course he understood that if he did this, Xiang Tianyu would definitely be angry, sad, and even cry. The most embarrassing thing for a man to see is the woman he loves deeply.

She burst into tears. So Nangong Cheng looked at Ouyang Zhan and said, "If you dare to do something to her, I will do something to you."

Ouyang Zhan said: "Aren't you worried that the letter Zhou Chen sent to Yang Shiqi has something to do with us?"

"Even if it has something to do with us, so what?" Nangong Cheng paused, "With me here, no one can bully her." After saying that, he quickly caught up with Xiang Tianyu, said a few words of comfort to Xiang Tianyu, and said to Xiang Tianyu.

Tianyu finally stopped being angry.

Ouyang Zhan looked at the backs of Nangong Cheng and Xiang Tianyu, sighed, and said, "Zhou Chen is really smart."

Hua Manchun smiled, agreeing with Ouyang Zhan's words.

"How do you say this?" Mei Shengxue asked.

Ouyang Zhan smiled and said: "If Zhou Chen gives the letter to anyone other than Xiang Tianyu, the content of the letter will be known to us. Only if it is given to Xiang Tianyu, the content of the letter will not be known to us. This

The fact that he is so afraid of us knowing the content of the letter shows that his letter to Yang Shiqi is definitely related to us. I guess that letter is not a report letter, but a recommendation letter."

Hua Manchun said with a smile: "Like Nangong Cheng said, even if Zhou Chen gave Yang Shiqi a first-class recommendation letter, so what? We don't want to be officials, should we change our original intention just because of a recommendation letter?"

Ouyang Zhan nodded, what Hua Manchun said made sense. So Ouyang Zhan, Hua Manchun and Mei Shengxue caught up with Nangong Cheng and Xiang Tianyu.

The five people walked forward for a while, and suddenly heard Jiang Long's voice from behind: "Friends, please wait!"

Nangong Cheng and others stopped and turned their heads in unison, watching Jiang Long driving a carriage pulled by three horses. The three horses were two black and one white, and they were very strong. Among them, the two black horses

There are also saddles and horse pads. It can be seen that Jiang Long made modifications and incorporated the two horses into the pulling carriage.

Ouyang Zhan said: "What are you doing?"

Jiang Long smiled, jumped off the carriage, and said while untying the rope: "The capital is thousands of miles away from Hangzhou. If you walk like this, I don't know how long it will take to get there. This carriage and two horses are also

This is my parting gift to you." After saying that, Jiang Long untied the two dark horses.

"Captain Jiang is interested, we accept this gift," Ouyang Zhan said. Jiang Long was right, so Nangong Cheng and his party readily accepted his gift.

Jiang Long smiled and took a jar of wine and six bowls from the back of the carriage. He first placed the jar of wine on the ground, gave the five bowls to Nangong Cheng and the others, and then put them into the bowls in Nangong Cheng's hands.

Pour the wine, and finally pour the wine into his own bowl, saying: "Farewell to the bowl of wine, I wish you a safe journey!" After speaking, Jiang Long drank the wine in the bowl.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Jiang!" Nangong Cheng and the others responded, and drank the wine in their bowls one after another.

Jiang Long said: "I hope you can come to Hangzhou again. When you come again, I will invite you to Jude Restaurant for dinner. Then I will bring my wife and son with me."

Xiang Tianyu snorted coldly and said, "Jiang Baotou knows how to treat guests! It's just that you treat guests and I'll pay the bill."

Everyone laughed when they heard Xiang Tianyu's words.

Jiang Long also smiled sheepishly. He could only change the subject and said: "Let's not talk about this anymore. I met a man on the way here. He came to see you, so I brought him with me."

After speaking, Jiang Long shouted to the carriage: "Master Qin, we have arrived. You can get off."

The curtain of the carriage was opened, and a young man stepped out. It was Qin Yi who used to write couplets with Xiang Tianyu in the government office.

"Why did you bring him here?" Ouyang Zhan looked at Jiang Long and asked.

Jiang Long said: "Some things are better explained clearly in person, as misunderstandings are inevitable."

"Madam..." Qin Yi came straight to Xiang Tianyu's side.

"Wait!" Nangong Cheng interrupted Qin Yi. He came to Xiang Tianyu, stood between Xiang Tianyu and Qin Yi, and said to Qin Yi: "Don't scream, she is not your wife!"

Qin Yidao: "She and I have already worshiped each other, and she is my wife."

Nangong Chengdao: "That's false."

Qin Yidao: "What did you say?"

Nangong Cheng was about to continue explaining when his hand was suddenly pulled by Xiang Tianyu who was standing beside him. Nangong Cheng turned to look at Xiang Tianyu.

Xiang Tianyu said: "Just let me explain to him, okay?"

Nangong Cheng nodded and stood beside Xiang Tianyu.

Xiang Tianyu said: "Master Qin, please take a step to speak."

Qin Yi nodded, then Xiang Tianyu and Qin Yi walked under a big tree, with Nangong Cheng following behind Xiang Tianyu.

Xiang Tianyu found out and said to Nangong Cheng, "Don't follow me, okay?"

Nangong Cheng shook his head and said, "Can you just let me follow you? I promise not to say a word."

Xiang Tianyu thought for a while and nodded. So Nangong Cheng, Xiang Tianyu and Qin Yi came to a big tree.

Ouyang Zhan, Hua Manchun, Mei Shengxue and Jiang Long looked at the three people under the tree from a distance. Ouyang Zhan said: "I wonder if Xiang Tianyu can explain it clearly?" After that, he said to Jiang Long: "By the way, that's it."

Can't you explain clearly what happened? Why did you bring him here?"

Jiang Long sighed and said: "I told him, but he just didn't believe it. He said that he must listen to Xiang Tianyu explain it to him personally. I had no choice but to bring him here."

Under the big tree, the dense branches and leaves of the big tree shrouded Nangong Cheng, Xiang Tianyu and Qin Yi in the shade.

Qin Yidao: "Madam..."

When Nangong Cheng heard Qin Yi shouting like this, his face became a little angry.

"Master Qin, please don't call me that. In fact, I am already a married woman." Xiang Tianyu stopped Qin Yi.

"Married woman?" Qin Yi said.

Xiang Tianyu nodded and said: "We are doing this just to lure out the murderer of Liu Hao's family. I hope Mr. Qin can understand."

Qin Yidao: "Have you and your husband already visited the church?"

Xiang Tianyu glanced at Nangong Cheng beside him, shook his head, and said: "Not yet, but we are going to worship."

Qin Yidao: "Since there is no such thing, then you cannot be considered husband and wife. You and I have already performed the ceremony of worshiping each other, and we are already a couple in name only."

"Are you done yet? Why are you so stubborn? I've told you that you are here just to lure out the murderer." Nangong Cheng, who was standing by, couldn't bear it anymore and finally spoke. And his voice was a little loud.

, let Ouyang Zhan and the others also hear it.

When Xiang Tianyu saw that Nangong Cheng had not kept his promise, he glanced at Nangong Cheng angrily. Nangong Cheng saw this and immediately shut his mouth.

Xiang Tianyu said: "Although we didn't have the ceremony of worshiping, we have become husband and wife."

"What did you say?" Qin Yi looked at Xiang Tianyu in disbelief.

"And the person you are called husband and wife is not our lady, but me." Mei Shengxue said as she walked over.

Xiang Tianyu glanced at Mei Shengxue. Mei Shengxue heard what Nangong Cheng said loudly and knew that Qin Yi was clinging to the matter of worshiping in the church, so she came over. She continued to say to Qin Yi: "That day

The one who visits you is not our lady, but me; so the one who is called husband and wife to you is not our lady, but me."

Xiang Tianyu said: "Sister Mei, why did you say it?"

Mei Shengxue smiled and said: "Since you want to make it clear, you should make everything clear." After saying this, Mei Shengxue said to Qin Yi: "Master Qin, please stop pestering the young lady and uncle." Finally, she turned to the other side.

Tianyu and Nangong Chengdao: "Miss, uncle, let's keep going!"
