Chapter 786 Introspection
[-]

Hearing this voice, Ouyang Wanruo and the others almost dropped their jaws in shock. At the same time, they looked up at the entrance of the dining room, and saw Lin Zhaohong stopped at the entrance of the dining room with a man wrapped in a black cloak so that only his eyes were exposed. .

When Su Kefang and the Yao family were suspicious, Ouyang Wanruo shouted: "Brother Huang?!"

Ouyang Wanruo suspected that there was something wrong with her ears. Was the person under the black cloak really her imperial brother?

Why did her royal brother come to the Duke's Mansion?

Xiang Zirun looked at Lin Zhaohong who had brought someone over with questioning eyes. It was also because of Lin Zhaohong who led the way that the two of them came to the dining room without the owner of the mansion noticing.

Facing his senior brother's questioning eyes, Lin Zhaohong expressed helplessness: "Senior brother, the emperor asked me to accompany me to visit the night market in Shengjing City, and while walking on the street, he suddenly said that he was hungry, thinking that he would have a meal when he came to the Duke Huguo's mansion."

The implication is that Ouyang Rui came on a whim, and he didn't know in advance that Ouyang Rui was coming, so he couldn't inform his senior brother to welcome him.

"Why, you don't welcome me anymore?" Seeing that Xiang Zirun had a serious face and didn't express anything, while the others seemed to be scared out of their wits, they were all stunned, but no one invited him in, Ouyang Rui's face was so pale It's almost becoming the same color as the cloak.

"Yicui, go and add two sets of bowls and chopsticks." Xiang Zirun said lightly, and sat back before Ouyang Rui came over.

Since Ouyang Rui called himself "I", it meant that he didn't come here today as the emperor, so he didn't need to be too polite.

"Yes!" Yi Cui replied tremblingly and backed out.

Ouyang Rui snorted coldly, took off his cloak and handed it to the little maid guarding the door, and walked over without their greeting.

Yao shi came back to his senses, and asked Yihong who was beside him to wait on him.

"No need, what do you do on weekdays? I came here today as a friend of Zirun's." Ouyang Rui stopped Yao's arrangement.

"This……"

Seeing Yao's hesitation, Ouyang Rui reminded with a smile: "Old Madam, this is not the first time I've eaten at your house, so you're welcome."

Hearing this, Yao Shi also thought of something, his expression relaxed, and he said with a smile: ""

Back then Ouyang Rui was seriously injured and couldn't move, so he stayed in the general's mansion for a few days, Yao shi personally arranged his board and lodging.

Ouyang Rui took a look at Ouyang Wanruo, Su Kefang and Xiang Bingyu, and said with a smile, "I heard that men and women sit together in the Duke Huguo's residence, so it's true."

"It's all a family, it's normal to eat together." Xiang Zirun said without raising his eyelids, and started eating.

Ouyang Rui glared at him dissatisfied, reached out and snatched the chopsticks in his hand, took a piece of steamed rice noodles and stuffed it into his mouth, chewed, his eyes suddenly lit up: "What kind of dish is this, why haven't I tried it before?"

"This is steamed pork. My wife made it. Most people don't know how to do it." Xiang Zirun raised his eyes and glanced at Ouyang Rui with pride.

This steamed pork is his mother's favorite dish, and this dish has not even been launched in "Grand Yue Restaurant".

Ouyang Rui raised his eyes and glanced at Su Kefang: "Mrs. Su, teach this method to the royal chef in the palace some other day!"

Xiang Zirun snatched back his chopsticks, stuffed a leek dumpling into his mouth, and glanced at him: "Why do you ask my wife to teach you?"

Ouyang Rui stared, and shouted: "What the hell!"

After finishing speaking, Ouyang Rui snatched the chopsticks from Xiang Zirun's hand, and took a bite of a dumpling. After confirming that it was filled with leeks, he stared at him incredulously, and asked tentatively, "Would you be Have you lost your sense of taste?"

Xiangzi Runying didn't respond to Ouyang Rui, snatched the chopsticks back, stuffed another leek dumpling into his mouth, and gave Ouyang Rui a silent answer.

"I really lost my sense of taste!" Ouyang Rui made a conclusion.

Ouyang Rui and Xiang Zirun competed for a pair of chopsticks as if no one else was around, which frightened everyone.

Is this imageless man who is no different from a scoundrel really the decisive king of a country in the court?

It wasn't until Yi Cui brought over the bowls and chopsticks that Ouyang Wanruo recovered her voice: "Brother Huang, you...how did you come out of the palace?"

"The palace is too boring, come out for a walk." On Ouyang Rui's face was the relaxed smile that Ouyang Wanruo hadn't seen for a long time.

Facing the friendly smile on her royal brother's face, Ouyang Wanruo felt sad for some reason, and it took a while to hold back her emotions, and said: "Royal brother, let them do things that can be done freely by the court ministers." , don't be too tired." The safety of her imperial brother concerns the people of the world, even if Ouyang Wanruo wanted him to come out more to relax, she didn't dare to say this casually.

If anyone in the world cares about Ouyang Rui without any purpose, it is the Queen Mother and Ouyang Wanruo.

After hearing Ouyang Wanruo's words, Ouyang Rui felt a warmth that he almost forgot. He looked deeply at his sister, a compatriot, and said slowly after a long while: "Wanruo, you have changed."

In the past, Ouyang Wanruo would never be able to say such words, but now Ouyang Wanruo is becoming more and more humane, which makes Ouyang Rui envious and jealous.

Ouyang Wanruo knew what her brother was referring to, she said with concern, "Brother, the environment changes people."

The palace looks magnificent, but lacks the warmth of ordinary people. Ouyang Wanruo is once again thankful for her original choice.

Ouyang Rui smiled noncommittally, the loneliness in his eyes disappeared in a flash.

"The food is getting cold, let's eat first." Xiang Zirun interrupted.

Ouyang Rui came to the Duke Huguo's mansion to relax, and Xiang Zirun didn't want Ouyang Wanruo to spoil his mood.

The dining table of the Xiang family has never had the rule of "you don't talk when you eat". Barry has always talked the most. He is the prince of Duwa himself, and he doesn't have much fear of the emperor Ouyang Rui, so he still eats and talks as usual. He kept talking about things in the "Newspaper", and occasionally discussed a few words with Ze'er and Xiang Zirun.

Previously, Su Kefang's newspaper factory only published the "Weather Forecast" newspaper. After arriving in Shengjing City, he found that there were many anecdotes and strange things happening in Shengjing City every day, so he added a "Newspaper" for everyone's entertainment.

Almost all people in Shengjing City can read and write. Once this "Newspaper" comes out, one can imagine how popular it is.

Facing the Xiang family's joy and harmony, and Xiang Zirun and Ze'er's deep love for father and son, Ouyang Rui felt very uncomfortable in his heart.

Zirun has only one son, and he has more than a dozen sons, but none of his sons can gossip like Zirun and his son.

Seeing the apparently relaxed lines on Xiang Zirun's face, Ouyang Rui couldn't help but reflect: Could it be that he was too serious about the children and had too high expectations?
This meal filled Ouyang Rui with mixed flavors, but his heart, which had been stuck for a whole day, suddenly became enlightened.

Some things are clearly in his own hands, but he is embarrassing himself here, really stupid!
