Chapter 709: Legend of Ancient Sword 25
The prosperity of Jiangdu is far beyond that of Qinchuan. The Fang family has a considerable business, but their operations have not yet reached Jiangdu. So Fang Lansheng and Xiangling, the two youngest and most innocent ones, are walking on the streets of Jiangdu. It is obvious that they are here to see the world.
Ouyang Shaogong suggested: "It's not easy for everyone to come to Jiangdu. Although everyone has important things to do, there is no need to rush. Why don't we find a house to stay in first? I will take everyone to visit Jiangdu City and find out some information. Then we can make plans. How do you think?"
After hearing this, Fang Lansheng became as quiet as a chicken, because he was not the only one who had serious things to do. He was just out for fun. Others looked for their brother, looked for their mother, helped Shao Gong, watched Tu Su, and even Ouyang Shaogong himself did not give up looking for a way to resurrect his wife Xunfang.
Baili Tusu and Feng Qingxue had no objection to Ouyang Shaogong's suggestion, so they looked at Jiang Xinxin, who also had no objection and nodded in agreement with Ouyang Shaogong's arrangement: "We are a large and diverse group of people, and we all have some small secrets. It is indeed more convenient to temporarily rent a yard than to live in an inn."
Fang Lansheng had some social experience, so he immediately raised the question that everyone had ignored: "But we may not be able to find a suitable house today. Why don't we find an inn to stay in first? It will be easier for everyone to put down their luggage and look for a house. In addition, innkeepers usually have some connections, so it will be convenient for us to get information."
So everyone found an inn that was neither too big nor too small to stay in first. Ouyang Shaogong and Fang Lansheng went out to look for a house, Jiang Xinxin stayed behind, and Baili Tu Su took Feng Qingxue and Xiang Ling to find the innkeeper to inquire about various news in Jiangdu City.
Finding a house went smoothly, and everyone moved out after staying in the inn for only one day. Immediately after moving out, Ouyang Shaogong told everyone very embarrassedly that he wanted to take in the elderly man who had been taking care of him all these years.
"Aunt Tong is old, and she has been traveling with me all these years. Now that I have heard about that Jin Niang, I also want to ask if there is anything I can do for Aunt Tong."
Based on Jiang Xinxin's understanding of Ouyang Shaogong, the Aunt Tong he mentioned must not be the original servant of the Ouyang family, but the old lady who took good care of his prince Changqin.
To be honest, Jiang Xinxin was really curious about how Aunt Tong had entered Ouyang Shaogong's heart and gained his trust.
Everyone had no objection, and within a few days, this Aunt Tong named Ji Tong came to Jiangdu accompanied by Yin Qianshang to meet Ouyang Shaogong.
After just one encounter, Feng Qingxue recognized that Yin Qianshang was her brother Feng Guangmo. However, for some reason, the other party had no impression of her and was even very shy about talking to her. After asking Ouyang Shaogong, everyone realized that Yin Qianshang had lost his memory of the past.
Ouyang Shaogong said: "When I met Qian Shang, he was seriously injured and fainted on the ground. If no one had found him in a long time, perhaps he would..."
"Later, I spent a lot of effort to rescue him, but I didn't expect that he had lost all his memories due to his previous injuries. And because he liked to drink, he named himself Yin Qianshang."
Yin Qianshang's untidy beard and drunken appearance made Fang Lansheng and Xiang Ling keep their distance from him, but they didn't expect that this bearded uncle was actually the brother Feng Qingxue had been looking for for a long time. The two of them huddled together and whispered to each other, but they couldn't believe it. Especially after Fang Lansheng experienced the incident with Li Panan in Fanyun Village, he always felt that there was something wrong with Yin Qianshang.
However, everyone was still very happy for Feng Qingxue on the surface. Even if Yin Qianshang refused to admit that he was Feng Guangmo, everyone knew that Feng Qingxue was from Youdu and must have her own way of finding people. Since she was absolutely sure that Yin Qianshang was Feng Guangmo, she would definitely not have recognized the wrong person.
Yin Qianshang's arrival was a good start for everyone. Fang Lansheng felt that if this was true, then everyone would be able to achieve their wishes after meeting Jinniang. He also suggested that they must prepare a table for the celebration.
Of course, to Jiang Xinxin, Yin Qianshang was just an acquaintance. The one with the real problem was Aunt Tong, who Ouyang Shaogong rarely gave her trust and reliance.
After just one encounter, Jiang Xinxin discovered that Aunt Tong was quite young, not like the image of a 50 or 60-year-old woman as her appearance showed. Moreover, her life span was not short, at least several dozen or even hundreds of years. However, she seemed to have experienced a crisis of certain death, and the reason why she was still alive was entirely due to a kind of Gu in her body.
After Ouyang Shaogong helped Aunt Tong to sleep, he was blocked by Jiang Xinxin when he walked out the door. He was a little confused, but Jiang Xinxin, who was also a child, now treated him like a person who never visited him for no reason, so he immediately thought about it in his mind and finally fell on Yin Qianshang.
But he would not say anything on his own initiative, as this would easily expose more information, so he smiled and asked, "Why, do you want to talk to me about something?"
Jiang Xinxin ignored Ouyang Shaogong's subtle provocation and asked directly, "How long has your wife, Princess Xunfang, passed away?"
Ouyang Shaogong really didn't expect that Jiang Xinxin would always do things unexpectedly. She didn't ask about what happened to Yin Qianshang, but asked about Xunfang.
However, due to some speculation, Ouyang Shaogong tried his best to suppress his excitement and asked calmly: "She has been dead for 20 years, what happened?"
Ouyang Shaogong imagined a lot, and Jiang Xinxin didn't intend to keep him in suspense, so she said directly: "Your Aunt Tong is actually not a simple old lady. She has a lot of toxins and poisons in her body. It should be because she once encountered a fatal situation, and the toxins and poisons in her body have prolonged her life."
Ouyang Shaogong was struck by lightning. He was not a fool, on the contrary, he was very smart. It was just that his past experiences made him a little stubborn. "No wonder..."
No wonder Jiang Xinxin is not interested in knowing. She has already hinted that Princess Xunfang may not be dead, and the so-called Aunt Tong beside Ouyang Shaogong is most likely Xunfang. As for what Ouyang Shaogong will do next, it depends on him.
Ouyang Shaogong was certainly delighted to find his lover still alive, but Princess Xunfang's means of escape and her hidden attitude of lurking beside him were more problematic.
That divine fortune teller Jin Niang, her reputation is well-known, but it can only be traced back to two or three years ago. No one knows why a real young girl like her suddenly has such ability, but she has indeed not failed since her debut, so everyone's pursuit of her is becoming more and more enthusiastic.
As for Ouyang Shaogong, he and Baili Tusu went out excitedly, but the news they brought back was not so optimistic. At least this month they would not have the chance to meet Jin Niang.
Fang Lansheng couldn't bear to see Ouyang Shaogong and Baili Tusu so disappointed, so he immediately said that he wanted to meet Jin Niang: "I want to see what kind of person Jin Niang is!"
There is almost no one in Jiangdu City who doesn't know Hua Manlou and Jinniang. Even if you ask casually, they will know the location of Hua Manlou and Jinniang's rules, but there is no more information. Fang Lansheng always hears people praising Jinniang when they mention her. His young nature makes him not give in easily, and he can't bear to see his friends do badly.
What's more, he brought a lot of silver with him when he went out. He felt that if the silver couldn't impress Jin Niang, he would always meet Jin Niang to find out her preferences so as to please her.
Ouyang Shaogong still remembered what Hua Man Lou was, so he didn't try to stop Fang Lansheng. He watched him rush out of the door and couldn't help but mutter, "Lansheng has a bit of an impatient temper. What if he offends someone with his words and gets detained?"
When Feng Qingxue heard this, she volunteered to step forward to protect Fang Lansheng. Xiang Ling was also a little worried about Fang Lansheng, so she followed Feng Qingxue out to catch up.
Baili Tusu belatedly saw Ouyang Shaogong's usual smile when he wanted to play a trick on someone, and hesitantly asked, "How did Lansheng offend you?"
Ouyang Shaogong smiled and said, "No, I just think it would be very interesting if Lansheng met the girls from Hua Manlou."
