The hot stove is burned in June, and the cold stove is cold in winter.

That night, Ouyang Jin was half drunk at Xu's house, and when he went home, his mind was full of these two sighs.

What if Xu Ziqian sold his ass? What about being a male pet of King Jin? King Jin is still locked up in the palace, but he is now a six-grade member of the Criminal Department. It is the same grade as when Ouyang Jin was dismissed.

But how old are they now? How can his future be compared with his own?

Look at the daughter-in-law married by others, although she is not a scholarly family, she is also the daughter of a serious official eunuch. Ouyang Jin naturally didn't have a chance to see the appearance of the little lady, but it can be seen from her rich dowry that the woman is quite satisfied with this family affair.

During the banquet, Xu Shaochun's old thing was still cheeky to show off to him, "These dowries are just on the surface, and the woman also married a small courtyard with two entrances, and she will move over in a few days." Lord Ouyang, your family has already been engaged, should you also consider buying a new yard when you get married? Save being crowded together and restless with each other. ”

Bah! Ouyang Jinxin said, your daughter-in-law is a daughter-in-law, after all, she is a businessman, and she only earns an official position in the new dynasty by spending money. How can she compare to Ouyang Zhuang's daughter-in-law, who is a serious official lady?

However, my heart is really unbalanced.

Xu Ziqian's kind of things that are not in the stream have all been mixed into six-rank officials, how old is his son now?

Of course, if you compare his eldest son who passed out, the father and son of the Xu family can't catch up even with their shoes. But the problem is that the son is no longer his. Especially after the separation. It has nothing to do with him.

Alas! Ouyang Jin looked up to the sky and sighed, how much evil did he have to be such a white-eyed wolf? It's a shame to give him such a good look, and I knew that I would send him to sing when I was young, but I'm afraid that now I can get back a lot of silver for myself.

Only then did he feel resentful, and suddenly someone came to report, "The fourth master of the Xu family next door sent someone." ”

Ouyang Jin was stunned, isn't Xu Si Xu Ziqian? He just came back from drinking happy wine at his house, why did he send someone here?

"Call someone in."

A short time later, a clever little guy came in. Laughing and presenting a brocade box. "There are a lot of people in the family, and our fourth master doesn't have time to say hello, so let the little one come over and give Master Ouyang a small gift. I hope you don't dislike it. ”

Ouyang Jin opened the brocade box and took a look. Inside was a pair of gold cups inlaid with silk inlays.

This pair of golden cups was used by Xu Ziqian when he held the toast. Because of looking at Jin Gui, Ouyang Jin couldn't help but take a few more looks, but he didn't expect Xu Ziqian to notice it. I also deliberately washed it clean and sent it to him.

Ouyang Jin was very happy, but said politely on his face, "Your Shiro is too polite, this cup is a newlywed, why give it to me?" Take it back. ”

The little girl smiled, "If it is an ordinary object, our lord has used it, and he doesn't dare to give it away, just because it is a newlywed thing, our lord only used it for a while, and he dared to use it to offer ugliness." You don't have to be polite, sir, just take it and play. Our lord said that when I have time in two days, I will invite you to have a drink. After so many years of old neighborhood, he still has a lot of things to ask you, the uncle, for advice. ”

How long has it been since Ouyang Jin has been so flattered? I felt that every pore of my body was stretched, and it was extremely useful.

put his dislike for Xu Ziqian out of the clouds, but had a good impression of him. In this way, he has become rich and noble, and he has not forgotten his roots, which shows that he is affectionate and righteous, much better than his terrible eldest son.

So he happily responded, and went back to play with the pair of gold cups.

The little guy went back and replied, Xu Ziqian has always been solemn since he became an official, and a shallow smile appeared on his face, "Well done, go down." ”

He will never forget the neglect he suffered when he went to the broken garden that day when he had no way to ask for help.

Thinking that he once wanted to make friends with Ouyang Kang like that, but he didn't help him when he was in trouble, Xu Ziqian's heart was full of resentment.

Especially when Ouyang Kang came down from the countryside, the starting point was not as good as his. Why did you get mixed up in such a high position? Isn't it just shit luck and marrying a good daughter-in-law?

Xu Ziqian is also unbalanced.

Making friends with Ouyang Jin may not be able to hit him, but if you listen to his family's privacy a little, if Ouyang Kang falls one day, he will stab him again, it should be quite happy, right?

Xu Ziqian imagined such a picture in his heart and went to meet his new daughter-in-law.

Although this marriage is just a consideration of interests, and he has already inquired about the bride's appearance, when the hijab is lifted and he sees that ordinary face, Xu Ziqian is inevitably a little disappointed.

Thinking about Nianfu's delicate and lovely little face again, the gap in Xu Ziqian's heart is even greater.

When I don't have it, I just think it's good to have a serious daughter-in-law, but when I get married, people start to be dissatisfied again, why can't I be good-looking?

Why is he so ill-fated, but Ouyang Jin is so lucky?

It's not fair, it's really unfair!

Blowing out the candles, Xu Ziqian Muran went back to bed, because he didn't like it, he could only deal with it.

When he fell asleep, the bride was also full of resentment.

Her husband doesn't like her, so why would she want to marry such a notorious husband? No matter how good-looking she looks, she feels disgusted when she thinks that she has been lying under a man.

But her father and brother, who are greedy for power, must marry her, what can she do? Although her appearance is only mediocre, if she chooses a clean white family with a lower door, she can live a harmonious life with her dowry.

With such a person now, it's good if she doesn't dislike him, but he still dares to dislike himself? The more the bride thinks about it, the more angry she becomes, in the end, she is the daughter of a businessman's family, she has learned to be calculating, she has not learned to be gentle and deferential, since people don't let her have a good time, then she doesn't make people feel better!

So, Xu Ziqian, who had just fallen asleep, was woken up by his newlywed wife and deliberately lit the lamp.

"The princess is good-looking, and the concubine wants to take a few more looks. People say that the spring night is short, why did you fall asleep so quickly? Are you weak, do you want to hire a doctor? ”

If you don't mean it like this, Xu Ziqian's face instantly darkened more than one layer.

……

Following.

Tan's entourage finally ended their long and arduous trip and returned to the capital. Ouyang Jin went to pick it up, and then went to Poyuan to say hello together, and Father Shi went back to Pingwangfu first.

The old lady understood their fatigue from the journey, and when they met to say goodbye, she asked Tan's Ouyang Lian to hurry home to rest. Hot water is also prepared here, so that Ouyang Qing can wash off the dust and rest.

It's just that Su Cheng hasn't heard the news of the tea tax in Lingzhou, and he can't help but worry about it, and he doesn't know how the apprentice is tossing over there.

Ouyang Kang didn't toss badly in Lingzhou, but in order to chase his daughter-in-law, he couldn't toss it badly.

Before, the best carriage honor guards were brought back to Beijing by the Tan family. When Nianfu's mother and daughter left, they took away the second-class ones. Waiting for the pair of Weng sons-in-law to hit the road, there was only a two-horse cart left, dragging his old Taishan and Dr. Xiao Zou, and a few carts loaded with luggage, and the rest were all horses.

On a cold day, going to rush in the wind and snow, even Tong Chaoyi's rough men couldn't stand it, let alone Ouyang Kang.

Although he really endured a lot of hardship in the grassland that year, his ability to bear it was much stronger. But again, it's still hard.

I don't know if it's because I'm too excited and more likely to get sick, or if it's the sequelae of being anxious before, in short, after running for less than three days, Ouyang Dashao suffered from the wind chill again. dragged two tubes of probosna and squeezed into a carriage with his father-in-law.

Afraid of being sick, he took his cloak and covered himself tightly, only huddled in a palm-sized place next to the car door to reduce contact.

In fact, Mu Shaoqin didn't dislike it, but persuaded him to stay and recuperate before going on the road, "I see that many guards also have a cold, so it's better for you to take them to walk slowly behind, don't drag a small illness into a big illness." ”

Ever since they gave 200,000 taels to the people, quite a few quick people have started to hit the road. As long as you're not in a hurry, it's okay to have a companion with them.

A few of Xiang Tong Chaoyi's men were very sick, so they all gave the silver to keep.

But where can Ouyang Kang stay? The daughter-in-law is pregnant now, can he not be in a hurry? Not to mention suffering from a little cold, even if he broke his arm and leg, he refused to stop.

Mu Shaoqin can quite understand his feelings, and if he doesn't listen to persuasion, he will just give up.

It's just that Dr. Zou has worked hard, not to mention boiling medicine for the sick Ouyang Dashao every day, but also having to smoke incense and spray medicine in the carriage, so as not to infect the more precious Prince Ping. This way is tossing, and the joys and hardships are in everyone's hearts.

※

It's still that little mountain town, it's still that little temple.

However, after resting all night, Nianfu, who came here again, has put away the complicated emotions of yesterday, and his eyes are as light as water.

"Bring someone in."

With an order, Ouyang Zhuang brought people up. Yesterday, he was with their mother and daughter the whole time, so he naturally knew what was going on. When Nianfu left, he handed over the person to him, and at this moment, he naturally had to bring it out in a good manner.

There were two people, a man and a woman.

The man is the cook, and the woman is the shallot.

was locked up all night, and of course the description of the two was not much better, with a grim face and a tired look.

Seeing her coming, Yu Cong first said in a hoarse voice, "County Lord, why did you tie up the slave maid in a good manner?" ”

Nianfu glanced at her lightly and didn't say a word.

But I heard a faint sigh outside the window, "Ping'er, don't say it." ”

A tall and majestic middle-aged man, with his hands behind his back, walked into the house like a leisurely walk, "County Lord, offended." ”

It's not Ji Longfeng, who is it?

Nian Fu nodded slowly, not too surprised, "I knew that Uncle Long was not a mortal, but I didn't know where it was sacred?" ”

Ji Longfeng glanced at Ouyang Zhuang and said, "This is my brother-in-law, if you have anything to say, I won't hide it from him." ”

Ouyang Zhuang was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Nianfu to believe him so much, and he felt a little mixed in his heart for a while, but soon he was moved, as well as a deeper sense of responsibility.

But Ji Longfeng still refused to reveal his identity, and only said, "You only know that I will never hurt your mother and daughter." ”

Nian Fu said, "Then you are a former court?" Or rather, anti-thief? (To be continued......)
