Start to be a martial arts hero from the famous people of Hengshan

Chapter 511: Dazzling Flowers
Shen Guangda kept bowing. He knew that Ou Zanghua was looking at him at the moment, but he was not afraid.

Ever since Ou Zanghua went south to quell the rebellion, he had seriously studied this youngest Shangshu of the dynasty.

Then he was surprised to find that this was a very contradictory person.

When leading troops in battle, he was able to come up with all kinds of strategies and tactics with ease, and at critical moments he could even risk his own life and lead the troops to charge.

However, he was very cautious when in power. Except for this land measurement which was a blow to the officials in the court, all other operations were compromises made to balance the relationship between His Majesty and the cabinet.

At the same time, he was a man who valued friendship and loyalty, and treated the Jiangxi military attachés who had been through thick and thin with him with great care.

Even if someone died on the battlefield, they would take good care of the orphans and widows, and would specially transfer a kind-hearted person to look after them to ensure that the family members would not be bullied.

He treats his disciples with the same care. It seems that he places them in cold and harsh places such as the Northwest and Liaodong, but with his support, these disciples can achieve good results as long as they are not stupid.

For example, Ma Li, Li Zhong, Zhu Shang, Ouyang Xuan and Zhang Jinghua, known as the Five Sons of Ouyang, all became Jinshi in the ninth year of Zhengde, and became disciples of Ou Zanghua in the same year.

Now Ma Li is the right governor of Gansu Provincial Administration, Li Zhong is the left councillor of Gansu Provincial Administration, Zhu Shang is the right governor of Anxi Provincial Administration, Ouyang Xuan is the right councillor of Anxi Provincial Administration, and Zhang Jinghua is the deputy envoy of Gansu Provincial Surveillance Department.

The five people held up half of the northwest sky, and Wang Yangming praised them highly.

As long as they don't make any mistakes, the road to heaven will lie before these five people.

Shen Guangda and other Jiangsu landlords took a fancy to this point of Ou Zanghua and decided to prescribe the right remedy.

Cheng Zhirou is Ou Zanghua's money bag. The Cheng family is pretty good in Hangzhou, but if you look at the whole of Jiangsu, it's just a second-rate family. It's too easy for them to control them.

And the next step is to get Ou Zanghua to side with them.

It is a foregone conclusion that the Minister of Rites, who is less than 30 years old, will enter the cabinet. With their support, the future of the Ming Dynasty is extremely bright!

Ou Zanghua got out of the carriage, looked at the plaque and asked, "Where is my dear friend Miss Cheng?"

"In reply to Lord Ou, Miss Cheng is a distinguished guest of our student and is already in the courtyard." Shen Guangda replied with his head lowered.

"Ah"

Ou Zanghua smiled, looked at Shen Guangda and his group, and said quietly: "You are very courageous. I am a little interested in you."

After saying that, he walked towards the manor.

Shen Guangda then looked up, only to find that he was still shrouded in shadow. He turned his head and saw Yu Dayou looking at him with an inexplicable look, which made Shen Guangda feel a little unhappy.

However, Yu Dayou grinned, then spread his long legs and caught up with Ou Zanghua in just two steps.

Seeing this, Shen Guangda had no choice but to lead a group of gentry to follow in.

As Ou Zanghua entered, the guests in the courtyard bowed and saluted, saying, "Students (little girls) greet Master Ou!"

"No need to formalize, everyone!" Ou Zanghua smiled and bowed in return. Shen Guangda hurried forward to lead the way for him.

In addition to the scholars, there were also many ladies from prominent families along the way. Some of them were charming and lovely, while others were cold and noble. They looked at the Ming Dynasty's top scholar boldly with their eyes, and bursts of laughter could be heard from time to time.

As one of the most commercially developed cities in the Ming Dynasty, the customs of the people in Hangzhou are obviously much more open than those in other places.

When Ou Zanghua walked here, he even felt like he was celebrating the Hanfu Festival in Xitang.

In just two or three miles of cobblestone road, Ou Zanghua felt that he had never seen so many living beauties in his two lifetimes combined. His three wives were also rare beauties, but their looks could only be considered average compared to this.

It is truly a riot of colour and beauty.

Shen Guangda walked up quickly and said with a smile: "Master Ou, you don't know that it is because I invited you today that the young ladies from Suzhou and Hangzhou are willing to participate in my poetry gathering." After hearing this, Ou Zanghua's expression was calm, without any ripples.

Shen Guangda couldn't help but wonder if he had expressed himself too implicitly and Lord Ou didn't understand the meaning of his words?

Suddenly, he noticed that Ou Zanghua had looked at a woman for a few more times, so he immediately looked over and said, "That is the niece of Master Tang Wuyan, the head of Wansong Academy. Her maiden name is Yuyao, and she also admires Master Ou very much!"

Ou Zanghua looked at Shen Guangda speechlessly. He just thought that the woman looked very much like Tao Huimin and took a few more glances at her. Why did this man act like he was trying to seize the woman by force?
Shaking his head, Ou Zanghua simply quickened his pace, no longer paying attention to those beauties, and instead appreciating the beauty of the garden.

Thanks to the ingenuity of the master of stone stacking, the rockery communities here cleverly use the essence of Taihu stone, which is "transparent, leaky, thin and wrinkled", to stack them, showing a perfect fusion of nature and art.

The towering stone peaks and tall stalagmites are dotted in an orderly manner, like an exquisite three-dimensional painting.

In the tiny cracks of the rocks, there are ancient and vigorous trees and evergreen pines and cypresses.

Kudzu vines entwine and vines hang over the stalagmites, like emerald green bead curtains swaying in the wind, adding a bit of vitality and agility to the rockery complex.

When they reached a stone boat, Ou Zanghua finally saw Cheng Zhirou. Seeing that the girl looked calm, he felt relieved and walked in to greet her, "Miss Cheng."

"Lord Ou, you are here!" Cheng Zhirou looked up at Ou Zanghua, her eyes lit up and she said with a smile.

"I wouldn't have come if you hadn't invited me." Ou Zanghua sat on the main seat and said familiarly.

This stone boat has a lifelike shape and an excellent location from which to enjoy the stunning scenery of 'willow catkins in the pond in warm spring, lotus flowers in the cool breeze and dew in the sky'.

Cheng Zhirou glanced at Shen Guangda, and while pouring tea for Ou Zanghua, she gently explained, "Uncle Shen has helped the Cheng family many times. He wanted to meet Lord Ou, so I wrote an invitation with a thick face."

"Has the favor been repaid now?" Ou Zanghua asked.

Shen Guangda quickly took over the conversation and said humbly: "Now the students owe the Cheng family a favor."

"In that case, I misunderstood you. But things have already happened, so please bear with it." Ou Zanghua smiled and said to Shen Guangda.

Shen Guangda was a little confused. He turned around and saw his butler standing outside, looking a little anxious.

He apologized, walked out of the boat, came to the butler and said, "I am entertaining guests, what are you doing here?!"

The housekeeper said solemnly, "Master, I just received news that the Shenji Camp, which had been staying in Yingtian Prefecture, suddenly took action and is now marching to Gaochun County, heading straight for Hangzhou City!"

"What?!" Shen Guangda was shocked and subconsciously turned around to look at the stone boat.

Now he finally understood what Ou Zanghua meant by "Please bear with it"!

However, Shen Guangda did not expect that in Ou Zanghua's heart, Cheng Zhirou was so important that he directly mobilized the Shenji Camp that had stayed in Yingtian Prefecture for two months.

The five military camps are evenly distributed in various counties in Jiangxi and Huguang, and will not be evacuated until the land is completely surveyed.

Now the Shenji Camp is right outside the door, and everyone is equal under the muzzle of the gun.

After all, the shells don't care how much money you have, or how many connections you have.

"How many people know this news?" Shen Guangda quickly calmed down and asked.

The butler smiled awkwardly, his expression was self-evident. Except for a few fools, all the major families had probably received the news.

"Alas," Shen Guangda sighed secretly, gritted his teeth and said, "You step back first!"
