Chapter 512 True Gentleman

Back in the stone boat, Shen Guangda looked at Ou Zanghua with a more cautious look.

This young man is still a little impulsive. If you have something to say, just talk it out. Why bother using guns and cannons?

Ou Zanghua took a sip of the fragrant tea brewed by Cheng Zhirou, then turned his gaze to Shen Guangda, and asked with trembling concern: "Master Shen, you don't look well, have you been frightened? Although I dare not say that I am proficient in metaphysics, I know a thing or two, and perhaps I can give you some advice."

"Yes, I was a little frightened and couldn't sleep at night." Shen Guangda looked at Ou Zanghua's eyes and had to continue speaking as he said.

"I've encountered this before, quite a few times! Later I came to a conclusion: when you encounter these evil spirits, you must never flatter them, because they will take advantage of you."

Ou Zanghua smiled and said, "But ordinary means can't do anything to them. So, we should take advantage of the fact that before they can react, we should fire our cannons and blast them to pieces. In the face of absolute firepower, all monsters and demons will have to lie down."

Shen Guangda asked with a wry smile: "What if the shot was wrong? Maybe White Snake came to repay her gratitude, but was hit by Xu Xian's cannon. Isn't this a bit unreasonable?"

"Then you must show your sincerity in repaying the favor!"

Ou Zanghua said calmly, "Didn't White Snake start by giving Xu Xian an umbrella? How could she just stuff the magic grass into Xu Xian's mouth without caring whether he needed it or not, right?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Guangda immediately knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said, "I am guilty, please forgive me, Master Ou."

Seeing this, Cheng Zhirou turned her beautiful eyes to look at Ou Zanghua, but saw that this elegant young man had an indifferent expression and didn't care at all that the other party was a celebrity in Hangzhou: "What crime has the head of the Shen family committed?"

"I shouldn't have used the name of my niece Cheng. Please invite Lord Ou to come for a gathering." Shen Guangda lowered his head and said humbly, "I shouldn't have used this to show off my abilities."

"Ugh"

Ou Zanghua sighed, looked at Shen Guangda and asked, "Isn't Patriarch Shen quite smart now? Why did he act so stupidly before?"

"I think too highly of myself and have done something foolish. Please forgive me, Lord Ou." Shen Guangda lowered his head and his attitude became more sincere.

"The Shenji Battalion has a total of 10,000 soldiers, who marched south with cannons and muskets. It is obviously not appropriate for them to return like this." Ou Zanghua put his hand on his knee, looked down at Shen Guangda and said, "You caused this, so you must take responsibility."

Shen Guangda's body trembled, and he understood what Ou Zanghua meant. His mind quickly turned, hoping to find a way to crack it.

"The land in Huguang and Jiangxi has been surveyed, and it's time for the Five Army Battalions to withdraw. Now they are divided into three groups, heading to Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Fujian. You don't want the three places to merge into one, so come to Zhejiang, right?"

Shen Guangda looked up at Ou Zanghua and saw that his eyes were calm and without any murderous intent, but he said the most frightening words.

His lips trembled as he named several families: "Students report that the Wang family of Huzhou Prefecture, the Zhou family of Hangzhou Prefecture, and the Huang family of Yanzhou Prefecture have had affairs with Prince Ning."

"Very good, we almost let these cunning rebels escape. Master Shen is worthy of being a role model of the country's gentry. I like you very much."

Ou Zanghua nodded, then looked at Yu Dayou who was standing outside the stone boat and said, "Pass the message to Captain Gao!"

"Yes!"

"The matter of measuring the land still requires the cooperation of Patriarch Shen!" Ou Zanghua looked at Shen Guangda again, gently helped him up, and said: "Please relax Patriarch Shen, you have served the country, the court will naturally remember it and will not treat you unfairly."

"Thank you, Master Ou!"

Shen Guangda forced out an ugly smile. He was extremely regretful now. Why had he agreed to that group of people and invited this plague god to his home?

He didn't even dare to think about how the whole city of Hangzhou, no, the entire Zhejiang Provincial Government would scold his Shen family tomorrow.

Then, Shen Guangda seemed to understand that Ou Zanghua was forcing him to stand on his side!
Now he has already offended the big landlords in Zhejiang. If he doesn't cling to Ou Zanghua, won't he end up with nothing?
Thinking of this, Shen Guangda glanced at Cheng Zhirou silently. Cheng Zhirou seemed to notice Uncle Shen's gaze, and she smiled back gently, as if to cheer Shen Guangda up.

Afterwards, Ou Zanghua ate and drank in the stone boat, savoring all kinds of fine wines and delicacies, while watching the various programs that were unique and carefully planned by Shen Guangda and others. Every scene was dazzling.

There are some women who are so beautiful that it is not an exaggeration to say that they are as beautiful as the country.

From time to time, talented people from Hangzhou, Shaoxing, Jinhua and other places would present their own articles, poems, calligraphy and paintings to Ou Zanghua for his guidance.

Ou Zanghua sat among them, and his words could make these talented people excited. If he watched a show for a while, Shen Guangda would immediately give him a reward. If he tasted a dish for a while, the plate of that dish would never be empty again, and would always be quickly filled up for him to continue tasting.

At this moment, Ou Zanghua suddenly understood the meaning of Li Chengxun's words. This is a land of gentleness!

At one o'clock in the evening, Ou Zanghua got up and left. When he returned to his residence, he found five more carriages at the door.

A middle-aged man trotted forward, handed over a document with both hands, and said humbly, "Sir Ou, these people all admire your academic knowledge very much, and have waited here specially just to listen to your teachings."

Ou Zanghua looked up and saw that the coachmen guarding the carriage seemed to have telepathy. They opened the curtain of the carriage, revealing the face of the beauty inside.

The Ming Dynasty version of Tao Huimin, the Ming Dynasty version of Chen Hong, the Ming Dynasty version of Chen Farong, the Ming Dynasty version of Yoshinaga Sayuri, and the Ming Dynasty version of Furutegawa Yuko.

Ok!

All the women that Ou Zanghua had looked at a few more times during the banquet were gathered here.

"Boring! Ignorant! Heartless! What do you think of me? Escort the girls home. If anything happens, I will hold you accountable!"

After finishing speaking, Ou Zanghua flicked his sleeves and walked quickly into the yard. His resolute back view was so resolute that anyone who saw him would have to praise him as a 'true gentleman'!
The middle-aged man felt ashamed. He waited until Ou Zanghua's back disappeared before he stood up straight, walked to Tang Yuyao's carriage, and said with a bow, "Miss Tang, Lord Ou is a true gentleman. I will send someone to escort you back to the academy."

After saying this, the middle-aged man walked towards another carriage and repeated the same words.

Tang Yuyao took a last look at the house with the lantern with the word "Ou" hanging on it, and couldn't help but sigh for her own fate.

Originally, the young ladies in Hangzhou were jealous of Cheng Zhirou's favor from Ou Zanghua, and they often slandered her in private.

After tonight, I'm afraid they won't dare to make up stories about Cheng Zhirou even in private.

Because Ou Zanghua personally called Cheng Zhirou a "best friend" in front of everyone.

Even for a close friend, the imperial court's elite troops were mobilized at will. Who wouldn't like the feeling of being valued?
The carriage swayed back to the back door of the academy. As soon as Tang Yuyao got off the carriage, she saw a young scholar sitting at the door of the academy with a pot of wine in his hand.

After Tang Yuyao saw the other person clearly, she shouted in surprise: "Cousin?"

"Sister Tang, you... you are really back?" The scholar's blurry eyes gradually focused. After seeing who it was, his face instantly lit up with joy. He said happily, "I knew that you are a person of high moral character, Sister Tang. You are definitely not that kind of person!"

Hearing this, Tang Yuyao shook her head gently and said gently: "Cousin, please don't praise me too much. Lord Ou is a true gentleman."

The scholar was startled when he heard this, his eyes locked onto Tang Yuyao's, his voice trembling a little: "No...it's not like that, Sister Tang, you..."

"Cousin!"

Tang Yuyao bit her lip lightly and said earnestly, "You should work harder. When Lord Ou was your age, he was already a third place winner, but your cousin is not even a juren."

The scholar was stunned, and felt as if something was broken.
