Chapter 112: Laughing
Before parting, Ouyang Mulan stuffed a wad of paper into Ouyang Kang's hand, "Don't worry, I will bring it, this is for you, it is considered food money." ”
Miss Ouyang was happy to do things, and she didn't hide the silver ticket, "Take it, anyway, it's something at home, and you should have a share." Let's go! ”
Seeing that Ouyang Kang still wanted to push, Ouyang Zhuang said, "Big brother, take it." Even if you don't need it now, if you can get into the country, there will be more places to spend money. Even if you don't use it, it's good to invite a few people to Sister Mu and rent a shop to do business seriously. It's going to be cold soon, are you still setting up a stall outside? ”
Glancing at Nianfu who was sweating profusely with his sleeves rolled up high, Ouyang Kang finally accepted the money, "Then I only think you borrowed this money." Thank you brother and sister, the eldest brother remembers, there will always be a time to return it in the future. ”
"Anyway, it's not the money we earn, so if you want to pay it back, you might as well pay it back to your grandmother. She's an elder, so it's right to give it to her. Ouyang Mulan made a naughty face, waved her hand happily, and walked away with Ouyang Zhuang.
Ouyang Kang suppressed the thousands of thoughts in his heart, put his purse in his pocket, concentrated, and began to work!
After sending his sister out of the city thirty miles, Ouyang Zhuang gave her another detailed instructions and said goodbye to her. By the time he returned home, Ouyang Jin had already returned.
Hearing that the eldest daughter had already left with the younger daughter, Ouyang Jin was still a little angry, snorted coldly, and didn't want to talk about it. But Ouyang Zhuang thought about it for a while, and decided to say more, "Before leaving, my sister said that I wanted to say goodbye to my eldest brother, and we went to see him." ”
Ouyang Jin's expression changed slightly, "See him?" How is that son of a son now? ”
"The dwelling is dilapidated. The eldest brother and Sister Mu also set up a small stall in the North Market, selling crystal rolls of fifteen wen and one disc. ”
Ha! Ouyang Jin laughed and picked up a cup of tea quite proudly, "You still think it's great to be away from home, but now you're suffering, right?" Let that son of evil kneel at the door and reflect on it, and I will not scream and not enter the door. ”
"But the eldest brother didn't say he wanted to come back."
What the? Ouyang Jin raised his head in shock and anger, "Is this his attitude of admitting his mistakes?" Do you think that if you say it, I will forgive him? ”
"Dad, I'm afraid you've misunderstood, right? The eldest brother never said that he would admit his mistakes. In fact. We just glanced at him, said a few casual words and left. For the rest, the eldest brother didn't mention anything. ”
"Bastard!" Ouyang Jin was so angry that he threw the teacup to the ground, "I don't repent like this." Don't think I'm going to give him a soft heart! Go tell him. I'd rather give it to your brother. and will never be given to him. ”
Ouyang Zhuang glanced at his father, who was thunderous, and said quietly, "If Dad has anything." Let's let the next person pass it on. I really don't have the face to pass, otherwise people ask, what should I say? ”
"You!" Ouyang Jin still wanted to scold him for wanting to rebel too, but this son had already turned around and left. Hang Ouyang Jin there, he was very angry, and turned his head to trouble the Tan family.
But Tan just said goodbye to his daughter today, and his grief has not been relieved, how can he be in the mood to take care of him?
"If you are not happy, you can drive Zhuang'er back to your hometown! Leave yourself alone, and see who else in this house will disobey you? Did the child say anything? It's just to tell you that when you see someone, what is there about him who offends you, and you want to anger him like this? ”
Ouyang Jin was speechless, but he really didn't dare to drive Ouyang Zhuang out of the city. After all, this second son is about to meet the emperor, in case he can't hand over someone, what can he say?
So, Lord Ouyang could only scold a few sentences without pain, but the woman and the villain were difficult to raise, so he took the money out of the house to have fun.
Tan didn't care about him, but he couldn't help but call Ouyang Zhuang and said, "Your sister is not sensible, why are you not sensible?" That one...... What is there to look at, and if you see it, what should you say? ”
"Mother, please think about it, even if I don't go, won't my brother be surnamed Ouyang, so it has nothing to do with me? No matter what he went out for, but if we don't take care of it at all, what should the people outside say? Dad can be unreasonable, because he is his brother's father, but what about you? ”
Tan asked his son to stop.
Ouyang Zhuang is reasonable, if she is Ouyang Kang's mother-in-law, no one will speak to him if she is ruthless. But she is a stepmother, her own children are all under her knees, but she threw the eldest son of the former lady outside, and people don't know the inside story, will they blame themselves?
"Then what do you say?"
Ouyang Zhuang said, "I think my brother means that he will never come back." For all the servants in his court were given to him, so it would be better to send them with their things, and then to my brother and his servants every month, according to my monthly custom. Whether my brother is willing to accept it or not is his business, but whether to send it or not depends on us. ”
Tan nodded again and again when she heard this, but she was reluctant to give those furniture and utensils for her son, so after thinking about it, she asked the housekeeper to hurry up and buy a batch of ready-made goods that were not so good, and she didn't need a car, so she let such a group of subordinates carry them on their shoulders, and took advantage of the light of day to send them to Ouyang Kang.
She thought that Ouyang Kang would not accept it angrily, but she didn't expect Ouyang Kang, who was going home from the stall, to even accept the things that people brought.
Ouyang Dashao is not stupid, he is now a family with four walls, what do you want, there is such a batch of free long-term workers who do not need to be paid, and these things, why don't you accept them?
The key is people, and there is still a lot of work to be repaired in his dilapidated house. A few days ago, in order to sort out the previous piece, it has cost a lot of money to hire people to work, and Ouyang Dashao, who is the master of the house, knows very well that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive. Besides, even if it was in the face of Ouyang Zhuang and Ouyang Mulan, the two brothers and sisters, he couldn't slap Tan's face like this.
So Ouyang Dashao smiled, and Tan was depressed.
Of course, in order to save some trouble, I didn't bother to report these things to Ouyang Jin, and when Lord Ouyang found out, it was already a few days later.
The sun is turning west, and the sky is getting dark.
Ouyang Kang pulled the abacus under the lamp, counting the income from today's trading.
Lan Gu delivered the food, a little distressed. was also a little disdainful, "Young Master, what is there to calculate with all this little money?" My wife sent those monthly silver, and it was enough. This account is to be calculated, and it is handed over to Sister Mu, why do you have to work so hard? If you want to go out in the future, find two people to do it, and you don't have to go out yourself. Let people see, no jokes? ”
She has been holding back these words for a day. No matter how much you think about it, I feel right. So though with a bit of caution. But he still said it.
Ouyang Kang gave her a strange look, "A manly man, what's the joke about making money with his hands?" If we only count on that little bit of silver every month, when will our family be able to stand up on its own? Never mind. You don't have to worry about these things in the future. Go down. If Sister Mu comes back. Tell her not to rush up to see me, and eat before coming over. ”
Lan Gu really couldn't stand it anymore, "Young Master." This businessman is a ninth-rate, you are a good scholar, how can you do such a thing? ”
Ouyang Kang frowned, thought about it and asked, "Okay, I don't do this kind of thing, then you take out the money to repair the house for me." ”
Lan Gu choked, where did she go to change money? muttered with a little dissatisfaction, "This house is Sister Mu'er......"
Ouyang Kang was really a little angry, although his voice was not high, but he had an aura of not being angry and arrogant, "Aunt Lan, I will say it again later, this house is what I agreed to buy, and it is not about Sister Mu'er." If you want to be so unimportant again, I really can't keep you, or I will ask someone to take you to catch up with my sister and go back to my hometown? ”
He paused for a moment, and then tried to calm himself and said, "Before going to Beijing, the old lady handed me the deed of sale between you and Mo Yun. If you really don't like me, Sister Mu and I will do business, I will give you freedom, give you silver, and live by yourself, okay? ”
Lan Gu couldn't tell what it was like in her heart, Ouyang Kang was really not ruthless to her, after a few quarrels, he still took her wherever he went, and no matter how he arranged a retreat for her, but after many years of affection, when he fell into this field, can it be regarded as a good death?
"The eldest young master......"
"If you try to persuade me anything, I really don't want to hear it. Lan Gu, I know that you are kind, but your kindness at the moment really makes me very distressed. Why don't you be quiet, think about my words, and plan for yourself, okay? ”
Lan Gu had no choice but to leave, but before leaving, she turned her head unwillingly and asked, "Young Master, our master and servant have been in love for so many years, and you have never said anything heavy about me, but why did you change as soon as you came to the capital?" ”
Looking at her biting her lip and the tears in her eyes, Ouyang Kang's heart softened and sighed, "Aunt Lan, it's not that I came to the capital to change, it's that you haven't figured out our current situation." Do you think that your eldest young master is still the child who used to be happy as long as he is well fed and clothed? Langu, I've grown up. I am a man, and a man should have a man's responsibility. Don't blame me for saying heavy things again, you hate money, but if you don't have money, can you still sit at home and think about these messy thoughts? ”
Before Lan Gu wanted to speak, he stretched out his hand to stop her, "I know that you want to say, I can take care of the family, just like the second young master." But have you thought about it, the second young master is his wife's biological son, and I am not. And I'm so old, I also have my dignity, you want me to bow my head all day to beg the old lady for money, what's the difference between that and being their slave? ”
Looking at the sneer on his lips, Lan Gu's face turned white and she left in despair.
The eldest young master is really not the little child he used to be.
Shaking his head and sighing, Ouyang Kang wanted to settle the account again, but he was a little upset. After so many years of master and servant, how could he be willing to do this to Lan Gu?
Knock knock. There was a soft knock on the door, and a pretty face smiled at the door, "Can you come in?" ”
This ghost girl must have heard it! Ouyang Kang glanced at her, "Come in." Have you eaten? If you don't eat, go down quickly, and come back after eating. ”
Nianfu smiled from behind him and took out a dinner plate, "Zhilu said that you didn't eat, I specially brought it up to eat with you, and it just happened that you could discuss some things." ”
Eat silently, sleep silently.
Ouyang Kang glanced at her, but didn't say anything, but cleared the things on the table, gave her a place to set the meal, went to wash her hands again, brought his own food, and started eating. Time is tight, and there is no time to delay.
"Say it." (To be continued......)
