"Yan Lan, just give up. Brother Luo was so eager to share news about Zhu Ping'an with me. It must be that the short-lived thief Zhu Ping'an has ended his short and sinful life. Hahahaha, so cool, so cool."
Ouyang Zishi laughed loudly and left, shaking his sleeves and running wildly, while turning his head and shouting to Yan Lan from afar. Because he was a little drunk, ran very fast and turned his head to talk, he ended up bumping his head against the wall.
However, even though he was hit so hard that stars appeared in his eyes and his forehead was red and swollen, Ouyang Zishi never stopped laughing.
Yes, he was happy, he was really very happy, he had never been so happy in his life!
Ever since he came to the capital and met the little thief Zhu Ping'an, Ouyang Zishi began to feel depressed, and this depression lasted for a whole year.
Now, Zhu Pingan, the little thief, is finally finished. He stole my top scholar, Ouyang Zishi. Not only that, this damned little thief also shamelessly seduced and stole my fiancée. When Ouyang Zishi thought of the scene of Zhu Pingan and Yan Lan "secretly meeting" in the mansion last time, he felt like there was a grassland on his head. His face was distorted and he wanted to eat Zhu Pingan alive to relieve his hatred! Humph! You didn't even let me enter your yard, but you secretly met with Zhu Pingan in the mansion! Haha, now, Zhu Pingan, the little thief, is finally finished. Yan Lan, you should give up this idea. It's great, it's really great.
"When life is good, you should enjoy it to the fullest, don't let the golden cup face the moon empty, it's great, it's great, I want to drink to my heart's content tonight..."
Ouyang Zishi was so happy that he went crazy. He walked, laughed and sang as he ran all the way to the outer courtyard.
Uh... Is my cousin stupid?!
Behind, the girls were all shocked. Looking at Ouyang Zishi stumbling and running wildly, their mouths opened into an O shape in surprise.
"You're crazy... What does Zhu Ping'an have to do with me?! You're just talking nonsense. You can't spit out ivory from a stinky dog's mouth."
Inside the Lanting Garden, Miss Yan Lan frowned as she looked at Ouyang Zishi's ecstatic and crazy back. She made a puzzled expression on her face, pouted her lips and started to scold him. Then she bit her lip and turned to the little maid beside her and whispered, "Cui'er, go and take a look. See what's wrong with him?"
Cui'er followed the order and chased after him.
When Ouyang Zishi was halfway there, he saw Cui'er following behind him and was even more delighted. He knew that Cui'er was Yan Lan's personal maid, so he deliberately slowed down his pace to allow her to catch up. Well, I'll make you give up on this idea completely and let your maid hear with her own ears the news that Zhu Ping'an, the little thief, is dead, so that you won't be accused of deceiving me!
Ouyang Zishi trotted excitedly all the way to Chuihua Gate and saw Luo Longwen standing outside the gate with an anxious look on his face.
Luo Longwen was an outsider and could not enter the inner house, so he could only wait outside the hanging flower gate. As for Ouyang Zishi, because he was a close relative of the Yan family and there were frequent rumors of marriage with Yan Lan, the old woman guarding the inner house let Ouyang Zishi in.
"Hahaha, finally there is news about Zhu Ping'an. Brother Luo, Brother Luo, you know, I, Ouyang Zishi, have been looking forward to this day for a long time. Ever since Zhu Ping'an was demoted to Jingnan, I have been looking forward to this day with all my heart..."
Ouyang Zishi saw Luo Longwen from afar and greeted him with a loud laugh.
ha?!
Have you been looking forward to this day for a long time?!
Brother Ouyang, it is true that I have news about Zhu Ping'an, but this news is definitely not good news for you and me. You said you have been looking forward to this day with all your heart, so...
When Luo Longwen heard Ouyang Zishi say that he had been looking forward to this day for a long time, he couldn't help but look constipated. He knew that Ouyang Zishi was wrong, so he hurriedly said, "Brother Ouyang, this news is..."
However, before Luo Longwen could finish the second half of his sentence, "It's not good news," he was interrupted by the crazy and overjoyed Ouyang Zishi. When people drink to a certain extent, alcohol stimulates the central nervous system and makes them talk more. Ouyang Zishi was in this state now. He continued to be happy and excited, interrupting Luo Longwen's words, "Hahaha, Brother Luo, Brother Luo, my good brother Luo, you are really my magpie, bringing me good news so early in the morning..."
What the hell is a magpie?!
The news I am about to tell you is not good news!
Luo Longwen couldn't get a word in front of the excited Ouyang Zishi. The corners of his mouth twitched and his face turned red.
"Brother Luo, do you still remember the poem "Loyalty to the Country" that Zhu Ping'an wrote at the banquet before the palace examination?! 'How does it feel to be beheaded today? Serving the country is difficult and there are many battles. I will go to Quantai to recruit old subordinates, and with a hundred thousand flags I will kill Yama.' This poem has been quite popular in the capital recently. Every time I hear it, I can't help but spit. A crappy weak scholar's armchair talk can actually attract so much attention from everyone! However, today, I want to recite this poem, hahahaha, how does it feel to be beheaded today... ... I will go to Quantai to recruit old subordinates... ... What a good poem, so appropriate, beheaded today, I will go to Quantai, hahaha... ... If you walk too much on the night road, you will encounter ghosts. If you brag too much, you will be struck by lightning. Zhu Ping'an finally got his comeuppance. No, hahaha, no, it should be said that he finally got what he wanted. Hahaha, so cool. Brother Luo, tell me, how did Zhu Ping'an die? ! Was he killed by unruly people? Killed by bandits? Or killed by Miao barbarians? Or killed by Japanese pirates? Or did he die without knowing how he died? Hahaha..."
Ouyang Zishi laughed loudly and talked incessantly, talking and laughing, making Luo Longwen want to interrupt him several times but failed. It was not until the end when Ouyang Zishi excitedly asked Luo Longwen about the cause of Zhu Ping'an's death that Luo Longwen finally had the chance to speak.
"Brother Ouyang, Zhu Ping'an, Zhu Ping'an..."
But when he had the chance to speak, Luo Longwen looked at Ouyang Zishi, who had a face full of excitement, anticipation and ecstasy. He opened and closed his mouth several times, but the words in his throat could not come out.
"Hahaha, Brother Luo, you are so happy that you are speechless. You still need to cultivate your concentration."
Seeing Luo Longwen opening and closing his mouth, Ouyang Zishi thought that Luo Longwen was so excited that he couldn't speak, so he couldn't help laughing and patted Luo Longwen on the shoulder and started to joke.
I'm so happy that I can't speak!
Luo Longwen gritted his teeth and spat out the words in his mouth, "Brother Ouyang, this news is not good news. A few days ago, tens of thousands of Japanese pirates raided Taizhou Prefecture, and more than 3,000 of them attacked Jingnan County..."
"good!"
Before Luo Longwen finished speaking, Ouyang Zishi shouted "OK" with excitement, with veins on his neck exposed.
"Hehe, Brother Luo is naughty. When I heard you say that it was not good news, my heart could not help but skip a beat. I didn't expect it. Hehe, it turned out that Brother Luo was teasing me on purpose. Three thousand Japanese pirates attacked Jingnan County. Hehe, well, if this is not good news, then what else is good news?! It turns out that Zhu Ping'an was killed by the Japanese pirates, hehe." Ouyang Zishi smiled and patted Luo Longwen on the shoulder.
As he was laughing, Ouyang Zishi saw Luo Longwen's constipated expression and suddenly he realized something.
"Oh, that's right, that's right. The Japanese invasion in Taizhou and Jingnan is not good news for our Ming Dynasty. Well, Brother Luo has been immersed in officialdom for a long time. His political awareness is high. Ahem, alas, alas... ... Puff..." Ouyang Zishi suddenly realized and tried hard to suppress the smile on his face. He wanted to put on a compassionate expression, but he couldn't suppress the smile on his face. It broke in a second. He smiled and patted Luo Longwen on the shoulder, "Haha, that's enough. I know you can't hold it back. It won't be too late to pretend to be indignant after we get out of the door. Laugh if you want to. What are you afraid of in the mansion?"
God damn pretentious!
Luo Longwen almost vomited blood, shook his head repeatedly, and said with great sorrow, "Brother Ouyang, more than 3,000 Japanese pirates attacked Jingnan, but his Zhu Ping'an did not die. Not only did he not die, he also made great contributions!"
"What?!" Ouyang Zishi was shocked, and the smile on his face withered. He shook his head, forced a smile on his face, and looked at Luo Longwen hopefully, "Haha, Brother Luo, are you kidding me?"
"I'm in no mood to joke with you. Zhu Ping'an not only defended Jingnan County, but also beheaded 824 Japanese pirates. Not only that, he also recovered the neighboring Taiping County!"
Luo Longwen said with great sorrow.
Plop!
When Ouyang Zishi heard this, his eyes turned black and he fell to the ground with a thud, raising a cloud of dust.
"Brother Ouyang! Brother Ouyang!"
I could vaguely hear Luo Longwen's panicked shout.
