Ouyang Kang listened outside the car, and interjected outside the window at the right time, "I should be able to go to Xuancheng tonight, do you want me to go to the city first to get some accommodation?" ”

Wasn't this your mission? What else are you selling here?

Mu Shaoqin just complained about the little son-in-law in her heart, and Hui Niang praised her face, "It's good to have a son-in-law, who runs before and after this way, but it's better than the lazy girl who knows how to eat." You go, don't be too troublesome, stay sideways for one night and go back to Huai'an. ”

Ouyang Kang was about to leave, but Nianfu stopped him, "You entered the city, remember to inquire where the Hou family lives and Dr. Sun's house." If you have time, invite someone to meet in the evening and have a meal together. If you don't go back to your house, you won't have time. ”

Ouyang Kang said, "Then I'll take Ah Yao with me and let her go to have dinner first." ”

Nianfu nodded and let him go.

Ah Yao is Yao Shiyi, because the poetic name is not like a girl after all, Cui Rong changed it for her. This time I returned to my hometown, and I also brought her back, first, to take care of the food, and second, to let her go home to look for her, to see if she could see a relative.

However, Yao Shiyi can see it, "When my mother was in charge of the house in the past, she offended almost all her brothers and sisters. Even if I see it now, I guess I hate me a lot, so it's better not to see it, if it's fate, let's talk about it. ”

When Ouyang Kang called Yao Shiyi, he ordered a few more people to leave, but saw Tong Chaoyi, the commander of the guards who followed them out of Beijing this time, come over and said, "There is a group of monks in front, saying that they are the old people of the county lord, and they want to come and ask to see them." Do you think it's okay? ”

Monk? Ouyang Kang was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly stepped forward, and sure enough, he saw a group of monks in robes and bright clothes waiting there.

Seeing him coming, the first white and fat monk walked a few steps and stepped forward, "Amitabha, Ouyang donor, do you still recognize the poor monk?" ”

I don't recognize it.

However, Ouyang Kang would not say this, but stepped forward enthusiastically. A salute was returned. "Master, don't come unharmed, in the end, you are a person who is a Buddha, I haven't seen you for a few years, and your demeanor is the same as before. It's a pity. Master Fuyuan went early. I haven't seen ...... each other."

Seeing that he still recognizes himself. The white fat monk was overjoyed, but when he mentioned the deceased uncle, he didn't laugh too much. He could only smile with forbearance, "Uncle Shi's old man is deeply blessed, and he has already taken off his skin and is ranked in the immortal class." This time, I heard that the county lord had returned to his hometown, and the people of these ten miles and eight townships were looking forward to it every day. I've cleaned the house, and I'm waiting for you, so come with me into the city!" ”

Well, you don't have to find a place to live now. Ouyang Kang also remembered from his words who this fat white monk was, Master Juehui, the presiding officer of Fangguang Temple.

After the death of Master Fuyuan, because of his achievements in repairing the bridge and the abnormal appearance when he passed away, Nantai Temple has been successfully promoted to an official temple, and Juehui also served as the abbot of Nantai Temple.

It's not that he wants to grab one more job, but it's really because Master Fuyuan practices ascetic meditation, and his disciples are like him, indifferent and quiet, and completely incomprehensible.

After Nantai Temple was promoted to an official temple, there were many more affairs to deal with with the government, and the people couldn't get it at all, so they had to come to Juehui.

Although this Juehui is not as detached as Fuyuan, it can be regarded as having a conscience. After taking over the position of the host of Nantai Temple, he also did a lot of things for Nantai Temple.

Fuyuan Pagoda was repaired, and Nantai Temple was also expanded. So that the disciples who are willing to continue to practice ascetic meditation can feel at ease to the Buddha, and also cultivate a group of shrewd and capable disciples to entertain the increasing number of pilgrims and take care of mundane affairs.

Walking to the foot of the mountain, looking at the splendid and brand-new Nantai Courtyard from a distance, Ouyang Kang nodded secretly, no matter whether people are vulgar or not, those who can do things are talents.

But when there were still ten miles away from Xuancheng, such a lively and grand welcome ceremony frightened the Nianfu family.

On both sides of the official road, crowds of people are crowded, and the spectators are like clouds.

Seeing them coming, the cheers were deafening. The people beat gongs and drums, and even danced the lion that will only play during the Chinese New Year.

Although such a bustle was experienced by their family when they were in Yunling, when they were about to leave, the gratitude of the Shi family organization was understandable. But the people of Xuancheng are too enthusiastic, right?

"This, is this a red envelope?" Hui Niang was shocked, and she didn't know what to do at all.

Mu Shaoqin was calm, "You are about to change your court clothes, and you will go out with me!" In such a scene, the government must have sent someone to come. After a while, let my son-in-law donate a sum of money for our family, build bridges and pave roads, and give doctors and medicines, you can do it! ”

By the time Mu Shaoqin wore a python robe, stood in front of the car with his wife and daughter, and bowed to all the people, the entire Xuancheng was about to boil.

Not to mention Hui Niang, even Nianfu has never experienced such a scene in his two lives together.

It felt like a military parade I had watched on TV before.

It's just that the parade is the protagonist replaced himself.

It's an experience that no one who has experienced it will understand.

Nianfu felt like he was in a dream, and when he finally arrived at the resting place, his face was smiling, and he couldn't rub it back when he rubbed it hard.

The dinner was arranged by the local prefect in the best courtyard of Xuancheng.

Of course, Mrs. Hou and Mrs. Sun were also invited.

After taking a lot of money to atone for the sins of his son and daughter-in-law, Mrs. Hou returned to his hometown with the whole family, determined to make a comeback from here.

It's just that the male guest is in the front and the female guest is in the back, so it's a pity that Nianfu can't eat with Mrs. Hou and Mrs. Sun.

But she is not lonely at all, because there are many official women here, and Nianfu can't be called famous at all, but she knows that many people may have such an opportunity to eat with a noble person like her once in their lives, so she is very modest and friendly with a smile, listened carefully to everyone's introduction, and accompanied them to have a meal.

During this period, a number of gifts were given and a number of gifts were received.

When the song finally ended, Nianfu fell on the bed, and said in fear, "It's terrible to return home." ”

Ouyang Kang fell beside her tiredly, "Do you know how much money we spent on today's meal?" ”

Three thousand. Nian Fu Zhi said, "I have no problem with you donating the silver that you have gone." But I really can't stand this kind of reception. Tonight's banquet must have cost a lot of money, right? I see that there is a lot of waste in the back, and it is really distressing. ”

This is the instinct of the cook, and no matter how rich she is, she can't quit.

Ouyang Kang's drunken voice was slightly hoarse, and he sneered lowly, "For such a reception, the Lingzhou prefect has put a lot of thought into it. Okay, I won't tell you these worries, let's take care of our spirits and leave tomorrow. Stay any longer. I don't know how to work hard and lose money. ”

Chanting blessings is indeed exhausting. He pulled his arm over and was about to fall asleep, but suddenly remembered something, "If I go back to Huai'an again, I'm going crazy." Cause them to go back and speak. Don't toss. ”

Ouyang Kangdao. "I'll send someone back tomorrow morning to tell my second brother. Oh, and I forgot to tell you that the third uncle and uncle are here today. You can go and see tomorrow. ”

When they went to Yunling, Ouyang Zhuang had already accompanied the Tan family and Ouyang Lian back to their hometown.

Ouyang Jin didn't come to work out after the end. It's not that he didn't want to come, it was that before he left, Tan secretly put some ingredients in his meal, which made Ouyang Jin have a stomach and couldn't get out.

Otherwise, with this scourge, Ouyang Kang is really afraid that the things that will come will be difficult to handle.

He deliberately asked Ouyang Zhuang to take leave and come along, also wanting to take this opportunity to give his younger brother a chance to make meritorious contributions. Anyway, Ouyang Zhuang has worked in the Ministry of Industry and knows some Tuntian water conservancy, so if he wants to check the tea matter, he can also pretend to look at the river embankment or something.

Well, there is one thing Ouyang Kang didn't tell Nianfu that Hou Fangyu got married and married the daughter of Grandpa Hou's business partner. That girl is two years older than Hou Fangyu, she has been married, she is very capable, and the key is to have a rich dowry.

This family business was found by Hou Fangyu himself, and if he wants to revive the family business, it has never been as simple as he said. Ouyang Kang didn't know what to comment, but he could see the helplessness and desolation when Old Lady Hou said this vaguely.

He didn't want to make Nianfu sad, and he didn't want to use other people's misfortunes to set off his own happiness.

Nianfu didn't ask, so he didn't say.

Nianfu's eyelids couldn't be opened, and he was about to fall asleep with Ouyang Kang's arm on his pillow.

Although Ouyang Kang was also extremely tired, he couldn't sleep because he was worried about things. Only when Nianfu fell asleep did he carefully pull his arm out from under her pillow, put on his clothes, and walked to the window to ponder.

Before leaving, Su Cheng said that it has always been easy to investigate corruption, but it is extremely difficult to deal with it properly.

If it is lenient, it will make people feel soft and cowardly, and if the emperor is dissatisfied, other courtiers will also bully each other in the future. If the investigation is strict, it is easy to make the ministers fearful, and if they don't do it well, they will make themselves lonely ministers.

Seeing that the prefect held a banquet tonight, and almost all the officials of the entire state came to cheer for it, it can be seen that the people's hearts are back. Maybe even if the heart is not oriented, but the common interest has bound them together.

So where do you start?

Just thinking to himself, he suddenly heard a soft sobbing sound in the backyard, Ouyang Kang was vigilant, but saw that Yujiao, who was on night duty outside, had quietly opened the door and came out.

Booed her softly, Ouyang Kang came out of the back room, and when the two came to the backyard one after the other, they saw a woman who looked like a servant woman pulling Yao Shiyi to cry.

Yao Shiyi clumsily persuaded, "Madam, don't cry, if you cry again, you will alarm everyone." ”

The servant woman held back her tears and knelt down for Yao Shiyi, "Sixth girl, I know that you are a kind-hearted girl, and you have spoken to me in the past...... But right now, your second sister is better off than dead, so you can do it and save her. ”

Yao Shiyi looked embarrassed, "You get up first, I promise you, can I help you think of a way?" But I can't guarantee that I can, after all, I'm just a minion now. ”

"I can't thank you enough for this."

The servant woman wept again and thanked her, and then went away.

Ouyang Kang thought about it, and motioned for Yujiao to pretend that he didn't know anything and walked away.

Early the next morning, Yao Shiyi came to Nianfu to confess.

"After my father asked for the crime, all the family property was confiscated into the official, and the family was also sold into slavery. She came to me last night and told me that my second sister, who was married, was affected by the affairs of the family, and now she was very pitiful and wanted to ask me to save her. I thought about what happened to my family because of me, and I was very sorry to go. I want to save it, but I don't know if I can save it. So come and ask the master for an idea. ”

Nian Fuqi said, "If a woman marries her husband, unless her mother's family commits a major crime against the nine clans, she will not be held accountable." How did she get involved? ”

Waiting for Yao Shiyi to finish speaking, Ouyang Kang's eyes lit up, "Help!" I'll help you send someone to save you! (To be continued......)
