Chapter 171 King Ning invites you
Ou Zanghua was still counting Li An's various properties, including calligraphy and paintings, gold, silver, jewelry, bronze Buddhas and iron gods, Han and Tang dynasty cultural relics, authentic works from the Song dynasty, etc. It was simply too varied.

Ou Zanghua almost thought that he was plagiarizing the Jiangxi Museum. Or the Jiangxi Museum after he robbed the Tomb of Marquis Haihun!

This guy is just like a rat, bringing everything home.

At this time, Lu Bai walked in, bowed and said, "Sir Ou, there is a man outside who claims to be the manager of Prince Ning's Mansion. He is here to deliver the invitation. He said that His Royal Highness Prince Ning has ordered that the invitation must be delivered to you."

"King Ning"

Ou Zanghua raised his eyebrows. This old guy is not planning a rebellion, so why are you looking for him?
Considering that he had not yet revealed his ambition, Ou Zanghua could only nod and said, "Uncle Lu, please bring the person in!"

"Yes!" Lu Bai responded, and not long after he left, he brought in a man in a dark blue robe.

"I am Cao Twelve, the steward of Prince Ning's Mansion, and I am here to meet Lord Ou." The steward bowed and, after getting Ou Zanghua's permission, he took out the invitation from his arms and raised both hands above his head.

Lu Bai took it and brought it to Ou Zanghua's table.

Ou Zanghua opened the invitation and took a look, then said calmly: "It is my honor to be invited by His Royal Highness Prince Ning. Please tell His Royal Highness Prince Ning that I will arrive on time."

"Thank you, sir." Cao Twelve bowed again and slowly retreated.

At four quarters past the hour of You, Ou Zanghua set out from the Water Guanyin Pavilion and headed for Prince Ning's Mansion.

When he arrived at the place, he got off the car and saw an unprepossessing man standing at the door waiting for him.

When Liu Fang saw Ou Zanghua, he calmly bowed and greeted him, "Student Liu Fang, nice to meet Ou Xiuzhuan."

"No gift!"

"I am here waiting for Ou Xiuzhuan on the orders of the prince so that I can lead the way for him." Liu Fang smiled, stood up straight and looked at Ou Zanghua.

There was a look of surprise in his eyes immediately. He hadn't noticed it when he got off the car just now, but when he got closer, he found that this young Jiuqing was so handsome.

The smile on Liu Fang's face became more sincere: "Ou Xiuzhuan, please follow me."

"Thank you."

The first Prince of Ning, Zhu Quan, was the sixteenth son of Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty and was originally given the title of Da Ning.

Later, Emperor Taizong invited him to raise an army, and one of his promises was to divide the world equally after success.

I guess Prince Ning himself didn't take this seriously. People shouldn't and can't be so stupid.

Anyway, after seizing the throne of Emperor Jianwen, Emperor Taizong Zhu Laosi did not mention this matter, and Prince Ning Zhu Quan did not mention it either.

Later, it was renamed Nanchang, and the Ning Prince's Palace was built based on the model of the Nanjing Imperial Palace with smaller dimensions.

After being sent to Nanchang to sit on the bench, Zhu Quan simply spent all his energy on searching for immortals and asking for the way, and had frequent interactions with Taoist figures in Jiangyou.

He also had a close relationship with Zhang Yuchu, the 43rd Heavenly Master of the Longhu Mountain Heavenly Master Sect, and they often exchanged poems.

As his practice became more and more advanced, he also gave himself a Taoist name, claiming that he was the True Lord of the Southern Pole Chongxu Miaodao.

He even went to the 13th Taoist cave, Tiantianbao Cave, in Xishan Mountain, and devoted himself to studying the Jingming Dao.

In addition to attaining enlightenment, he also worked hard on Taoism, compiling and creating at least thirty Taoist works and dramas. The most famous ones are the eight volumes of "The Jade Book of the Supreme Dao of the Emperor" and the eight volumes of "The Jade Book of Geng and Xin".

In a sense, although his fourth brother cheated him, he did allow him to live the life he wanted.

As he himself wrote in his poem:
The chariot road is full of flying flowers and green shades, and I haven't had the good fortune of a carriage to come for several years. Only the moon on the crabapple tree branch has waxed and waned several times until now.

Under the guidance of Liu Fang, Ou Zanghua walked past Taiqing Pool, Taihe Pavilion, Wenying Pavilion, and came to a courtyard called Wei Qiang Villa.

Walking into the courtyard, another middle-aged scholar came out to greet him. He bowed and said, "I am Yang Qing, the treasure manager of Prince Ning's Palace. I am honored to meet Lord Ou."

Ou Zanghua bowed in return. The so-called Dianbaozheng was the head of the Dianbao Office, in charge of the royal treasure talismans, and was of the eighth rank.

Since Prince Ning Zhu Chenhao had not arrived yet, the three of them could not sit down and could only stand in the yard and chat.

Yang Qing looked at Ou Zanghua and asked with a smile: "Lord Ou, what do you think of Jiangxi?" "A place with profound cultural heritage, a country of literature, integrity and righteousness." Ou Zanghua was not stingy with his praise and praised Jiangxi to the highest level.

Yang Qing was very happy to hear this, so he asked, "Since Lord Ou likes Jiangxi so much, have you ever considered staying here?"

Ou Zanghua said seriously: "I am still young, so I should put pleasure second and put the benefit of the court and the people first."

Yang Qing was stunned for a moment, then nodded in agreement with a wry smile.

He was a little hesitant. Could this kid really think so?
At this time, a loud voice came from outside the courtyard: "His Royal Highness Prince Ning has arrived!"

The next moment, a middle-aged man with shaggy eyebrows, a pair of almond-shaped eyes, a square mouth and a beard, wearing a dragon robe, walked in.

Ou Zanghua clasped his hands together, bowed and said, "Your humble servant Ou Zanghua pays homage to His Majesty."

"Hahaha, editor, no need to be polite." Zhu Chenhao personally helped Ou Zanghua up, and after taking a look at him, he exclaimed: "This king finally understands why Ou Xiuzhuan is not the top scholar. With his handsome appearance and great talent, he can only be ranked third."

"Your Majesty, thank you for the prize!"

Zhu Chenhao stroked his beard and said cheerfully, "It's a pity that my daughter has been betrothed to someone else. Otherwise, Ou Xiuzhuan would not be able to escape."

"Please be careful with your words, Your Highness. I already have a wife, and we are deeply in love." Ou Zanghua immediately bowed and corrected him.

Zhu Chenhao's smile froze, and a hint of displeasure appeared on his face.

Yang Qing quickly stepped forward to smooth things over, saying, "The love between Mr. and Mrs. Ou Xiuzhuan is so deep that it makes others envious! Your Majesty, why don't you take a seat first!"

Zhu Chenhao nodded and sat in the main seat without saying a word.

Ou Zanghua sits on the left, Yang Qing sits on the right, and Liu Fang sits second from the left.

As everyone took their seats, the beautiful maids began to serve the dishes. Yang Qing introduced each dish one by one, which kept the atmosphere from becoming dull.

After everyone had a round of drinks, at Yang Qing's signal, Liu Fang asked, "Lord Ou, there are a few items in Li An's house that the prince really likes, and he had already discussed with Li An about buying them. It was just that the imperial edict from His Majesty came suddenly, which interrupted the transaction."

"But the prince is a man of elegance and refinement, and it is really hard to part with him. Lord Ou, please make it easier for us to continue the transaction."

After hearing this, Ou Zanghua asked naturally, "Which items did the prince take a fancy to?"

"Tang Qin Duyou!"

"This has already been given to me by Eunuch Li."

After hearing this, the three people were speechless. Why could Li An, a criminal slave, send things away?
But Ou Zanghua accepted it, and it looked quite natural.

Liu Fang coughed awkwardly before continuing to ask, "The Four Swords of Wind, Rain, Thunder and Lightning?"

"I have never seen this thing." Ou Zanghua said seriously.

What he saw were the long swords Feng and Ji Yue and other swords, but no wind, rain, thunder or lightning.

Liu Fang did not give up and asked, "Where is the Xueshanzi relic?"

"Maybe? I don't know what it is. Maybe it has been collected by the Royal Guards!"

Ou Zanghua sighed and said, "If it is included in the Jinyiwei, it will belong to your Majesty. I cannot make the decision for your Majesty, and I may disappoint your Majesty."

Zhu Chenhao became even more unhappy when he heard this. He glanced at Yang Qing with dissatisfaction in his eyes.

Liu Fang's mind turned at this time, and he said: "Master Ou, I guess the Water Guanyin Pavilion is not registered!"

　I recommend a science fiction novel about containment written by an author in the group. Bosses who like it can take a look.
