This villain is a bit cowardly

After Cheng Yi properly settled Yue Qing, he left Yue Qing with the other three guards to take care of, and returned to find out the news, and after learning that Ouyang Xiu had left, he respected the agreement, and Yue Qing and others went to Yecheng while recuperating from their injuries.

Due to its proximity to the border, Yecheng is a long way to go, and you have to pass through several towns to reach it. After Ouyang Xiu and Yiyi dressed up in disguise, after two days of running, they safely entered the territory of Qingzhou City.

Ouyang Xiu originally planned to go around the city, but Yiyi proposed to go around the city and buy some supplies by the way. Ouyang Xiu thought that he had been on the road for a few days, and he was afraid that Yiyi would not be able to bear it, so it would be good to rest properly, so he agreed to Yiyi's request.

As soon as I arrived at the city gate, I saw the portrait of the fugitive Ning Jiuwei posted in a conspicuous position on both sides of the city gate.

Yiyi lowered her head instantly, but her return at this time was too conspicuous, so she could only follow Ouyang Xiu and walk forward.

Fortunately, the officers and men did not inspect too strictly, but only briefly interrogated them for a few sentences and then let them go.

"Why didn't you remind me," As soon as he got out of the sight of the officers and soldiers, Yiyi shook Ouyang Xiu's hand and said, "I was scared to death just now, I would not have taken this risk if I had known this." As he spoke, he quickly pulled the hair down on his forehead, trying to cover his face.

Ouyang Xiu looked at the nervous Yiyi and said with a smile: "You don't have to be afraid, you look at your current appearance like a little beggar, and you can't beat the bewitching Ning Jiuwei in the portrait." You can walk around the city without worry, no one will recognize you. "

Yiyi heard Ouyang Xiu say this, and his courage grew. Seeing that Ouyang Xiu's complexion had gradually improved in the past two days, he was also very happy.

When passing by a pawnshop, Yiyi pulled Ouyang Xiu and was about to go inside.

"What are you doing?" Ouyang Xiu pulled Yiyi back.

"Change some money!" Yiyi withdrew a jade bracelet from her wrist. "It costs money to eat, lodging and buy things, and we don't have much money on us, so we naturally have to change some more. "

"You say, accommodation?" asked Ouyang Xiu.

"Yes, since you say it's not dangerous, can we stay two more days?"

Yiyi wanted to take this opportunity to let Ouyang Xiu take a break, for a few days, Ouyang Xiu didn't rest well, Yiyi saw it in his eyes. Seeing Ouyang Xiu, who usually eats fine clothes, has been gnawing on dry food for a few days, and his heart is very uncomfortable. Now that he doesn't even have a change of clothes, Ouyang Xiu must have a lot of discomfort, if they have the intention to take care of them, they will definitely not fall so shabby.

Yiyi thought about waiting for the money, buying Ouyang Xiu two new clothes, and then taking her to have a good meal.

Yiyi was about to go in again, but was dragged away by Ouyang Xiu again, and Yiyi staggered to keep up with Ouyang Xiu's footsteps.

"What?".

"Go home. Ouyang Xiu said indiscriminately.

"Back to ...... Where?" thought she had misheard.

When Ouyang Xiu stopped in front of a luxurious restaurant, Yiyi grabbed Ouyang Xiu, who wanted to go in, and whispered, "We don't have any money." "

Ouyang Xiu smiled a little mysteriously: "Come here to eat, you don't need money." "

Yiyi's face was full of question marks, could it be that this restaurant was opened by Ouyang Xiu's family.

This time, I really let Yiyi guess correctly, this is indeed the Ouyang family's industry. At the beginning, Ouyang Xiu's father fought in the north and south, and bought a lot of private houses in various places, all of which were handed over to the heroes who retired due to injuries or handed over to cronies to take care of.

For business, the income is divided fifty-fifty, and the silver only needs to be handed over once a year. Buying a private home is convenient for going out for business, and it can be used as a temporary foothold.

Ouyang Xiu liked to play around a few years ago, so Ouyang Xiu had been to most of the private residences.

Back then, after Geng Rui, a capable deputy general under Ouyang Yi, was injured, he had to leave his post to recuperate due to his serious injuries.

It happened that Geng Rui was from Qingzhou, and this private house was handed over to Geng Rui to take care of.

With such a large house, Geng Rui felt that it was a pity to be idle, so he redecorated the front yard and opened a restaurant. The front yard is used for business, and the back yard is used for people.

Geng Rui's family all live in a side house in the backyard, and the location of the main courtyard is spotless every day, ready to welcome every master of the Ouyang family.

After the accident in the palace, Geng Rui went to Tiandu City to visit Ouyang Xiu, but Ouyang Xiu closed the door and disappeared, so Geng Rui had to return. After Geng Rui went back, he put Ouyang Yi's tablet in the main room to show respect.

After Ouyang Xiu and Yiyi entered, they asked to see Geng Rui by name. The guys in the restaurant didn't dare to slack off, because the person who knew the boss's name must be a friend or relative of the boss, so he led it to the backyard and handed it over to the housekeeper Geng Ruyi.

Geng Ruyi is Geng Rui's nephew, because he has no serious errands, he only went to the restaurant to help the year before last. In the early years, when Ouyang Xiu came, Geng Ruyi was still in his hometown, so he didn't know Ouyang Xiu.

Geng Ruyi is older than Ouyang Xiu, and he is a rural villager who has never seen the world, but who knows that he has become the manager of the restaurant. Relying on his own identity, none of the subordinates here is pleased, in just one year, he has not learned other skills, but he has learned to worship the high and step on the bottom.

Geng Ruyi glanced at Ouyang Xiu and Yiyi, and saw that the two of them seemed to have fled the famine, and the smell emanating from their bodies made Geng Ruyi even more disgusted, so he couldn't help but retreat and cover his nose and said: Who are you, what are you looking for my uncle?".

Between the words, Ouyang Xiu knew the identity of the other party, but he was not used to it, and directly ignored Geng Ruyi:

"I'm going to see Geng Rui, you asked him to come to see me. As he spoke, he bypassed Geng Ruyi and was about to go to the main courtyard.

"You stop me," Geng Ruyi stepped forward and stopped: "How can you call my uncle's name, and you look like you're here to fight the autumn breeze?

Ouyang Xiu smiled: "You really guessed right, I really came to ask for food." "

Geng Ruyi stood in front of Ouyang Xiu, holding the young master's shelf, with a look of disdain.

"My Geng family doesn't have poor relatives like you, so before Young Master Ben gets angry, hurry up and get out of here. "Talking about getting started, I want to push Ouyang Xiu.

Unexpectedly, his hand hadn't touched Ouyang Xiu's clothes yet, and his arm had been grabbed by Ouyang Xiu and twisted back, and Geng Ruyi screamed in pain.

Ouyang Xiu let go of his hand, Geng Ruyi hugged his arm and retreated in horror, seeing that the other party was not easy to mess with, he began to shake people.

With a call, more than a dozen thugs with sticks in the courtyard suddenly ran over and stood behind Geng Ruyi, Geng Ruyi suddenly had the confidence to block in front of Ouyang Xiu again.

"I said that you are really looking for death! You are just poor, and you are so blind, can you enter this main courtyard? No one is allowed to trespass here except my uncle. If you dare to take a step forward, I will have your legs broken. "

Yiyi looked at the posture in front of him and wondered if Ouyang Xiu had gone to the wrong place

Ouyang Xiu couldn't help but want to laugh, and when he went back to his home, he even had to look at people's faces.

For the obstacles in front of him, Ouyang Xiu didn't pay attention to them at all, no matter how many people there were, for Ouyang Xiu, it was just bluffing.

Ouyang Xiu pulled Yiyi and gradually walked up the steps, and where he passed, there was already a wail behind him.

Geng Ruyi saw Ouyang Xiu break in, and immediately went to report to Geng Rui.

Ouyang Xiu walked through the courtyard and pushed open the door of the main house, and what greeted him was Ouyang Yi's tablet. Ouyang Xiu thought to himself, this Geng Rui is still loyal!

When Geng Rui heard that someone was coming to make trouble, he was furious and immediately went to check on crutches. This is the prince's private residence, and even the local government has to look at it differently, who is so bold that he dares to pull teeth out of the tiger's mouth.

Geng Ruyi led the way, scolding and scolding along the way, saying that he wanted to arrest Ouyang Xiu and them into the official mansion and eat prison for a few years before they were relieved.

"That's them. Geng Ruyi stood outside the door and pointed to Ouyang Xiu's figure and said.

Ouyang corrected the incense that was focused, and did not pay attention to the people behind him.

Geng Rui looked at Ouyang Xiu's back and froze at the door for a while, watching Ouyang Xiu finish saluting the incense and squinting, but he hadn't come back to his senses yet.

Geng Ruyi was waiting for his uncle to vent his anger for him, but when he turned around, he saw his uncle's expression, so he nudged with his hand:

"Uncle, uncle......

".

"Don't make noise!" Geng Rui pushed Geng Ruyi to a stumbling point.

Geng Ruyi was puzzled, Ouyang Xiu got up, and the moment he turned his head, Geng Rui had already knelt down.

"I don't know that the little prince is here in person, and I hope that the little prince will forgive me. "

At this time, it was Geng Ruyi's turn to stare wide-eyed. Geng Rui saw that Geng Ruyi was still standing stupidly, and immediately pulled him to kneel.

"This is the little nephew, he doesn't understand the rules, he was offended just now, and I ask the little prince not to worry about him. As he spoke, he yelled at Geng Ruyi: "Don't make amends to the little prince!"

Geng Ruyi was so frightened at this time that he was speechless.

Seeing this, Ouyang Xiu smiled and said, "Don't blame those who don't know, get up!"

"Thank you, little prince!" Geng Rui thanked Geng Ruyi.

After the two got up, Geng Rui instructed Geng Ruyi: "Why don't you hurry up and order people to prepare aromatherapy baths, and then inform the kitchen to make a few special dishes of Qingzhou for the little prince." "

"Yes".

Geng Ruyi saluted, and walked out stiffly, obviously not recovering from the shock just now.

Geng Rui accompanied Ouyang Xiu to chat about family life.

"I haven't seen him for a few years, but the little prince has grown a lot taller. "

Ouyang Xiu smiled: "I haven't seen you for a few years, Uncle Geng, how are you doing lately?"

Geng Rui hugged and said: "Thanks to the blessing of the old prince, the family is old and young, and the food and clothing are still worry-free." "

"That's good".

Ouyang Xiu took a sip of the tea he had just served, and handed the plate of Yiyi's favorite dessert in front of him to Yiyi.

Yiyi awkwardly reached out and took it.

"Who is this...?" Geng Rui opened his mouth cautiously, being able to sit side by side with Ouyang Xiu, his identity was definitely not as simple as a subordinate.

"This is Miss Yiyi. Ouyang Xiu introduced.

"Yiyi girl!" Geng Rui stood up and saluted.

Frightened, Yiyi hurriedly jumped up and returned the salute.

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be! You talk about you, don't worry about me. "Yiyi just wants to be an invisible person at this time.

At this time, the next person came to report and asked Ouyang Xiu and Yiyi to bathe and change clothes. Geng Rui personally led the way, and many maids and daughters-in-law accompanied him.

Yiyi couldn't help but sigh, this is the life that Ouyang Xiu should have. Even if he has no identity as a prince, his family is here, and he is held like the stars holding the moon wherever he goes.

Yiyi was distracted, Ouyang Xiu suddenly leaned down and whispered in his ear, "I didn't lie to you, did I?"

Yiyi was speechless, so he had to show his thumb for Ouyang Xiu.
