The spring breeze is proud, and the Chang'an flowers bloom in one day.

This poem may best describe the feelings of all the candidates on the list. And their teachers, relatives and friends are all honored without exception.

In the whole capital, the restaurants and restaurants that were greatly affected by the snow disaster once again became lively because of such a large-scale happy event. Even the poorest families have to find ways to squeeze out the money to set up a few tables of wine and be lively. But some people want to invite this guest, but they don't have this qualification.

Ministry of Rites.

"Lord Ouyang, Lord Ouyang!" An official in a scarlet robe hurriedly asked his subordinates to bring the sedan chair forward and stopped Ouyang Jin, who had just left the yamen.

Ouyang Jin, who was dressed in a green robe, was flattered and stopped saluting, "What do you command?" "This lord has a high official position and a good reputation, so what is the matter with him?

The man smiled modestly in the sedan chair, "I don't know when your family will sprinkle for Zhuangyuanlang, but don't forget to tell the old man." I heard that Zhuang Yuanlang's character and knowledge are first-class, and the old man really wants to visit. ”

This...... There was a trace of embarrassment on Ouyang Jin's face, but he didn't dare to agree for a long time, and left under the pretext.

The man felt strange, and suddenly another person came out of the Ministry of Rites, it was Lu Zhengming.

Approaching this person, he said flatteringly, "Your Excellency doesn't have to beg him, Zhuang Yuanlang was originally his son, but now he has passed under his brother's name, and all affairs are taken care of by his husband, Lord Su Chengsu of the Guozi Prison, but Lord Ouyang is speechless." But if you want to go, do you want to tell the official on your behalf? ”

The official gave him another look and only thanked him. He ordered someone to carry the sedan chair and left.

Lu Zhengming sold information in vain, but he didn't take the opportunity to go with him, so he could only leave dejectedly, depressed.

Who knew that such a beautiful beauty back then was so good at learning? Now that he has won the championship, he is getting farther and farther away from him. But think about it, the most depressed person should be Ouyang Jin, right? gave away such a good son in vain, and now I regret it!

Finding a psychological balance, Lu Zhengming hummed a little song and left, but Ouyang Jin, who returned to Quy Nhon Fang's house, was full of upset and almost broke the roof.

"Why is it such a big deal? He, Su Cheng, decided alone? Anyway, that kid has my blood on him, too. How can there be such disrespect? ”

Tan pouted impatiently, and said in his heart, Have you ever respected others? Even if people still bleed your blood, it is not your son.

The teacher is like a father. Since the father on the name of the family is dead, Su Cheng is the father of the family. You're not going to be happy. Quarrel with Su Cheng. Just knowing what kind of skill is the nest?

"Master, I advise you to dissipate your anger. The old lady didn't have a second word, what else do we have to say? ”

Speaking of the old lady, Ouyang Jin finally stopped, but the resentment in his heart became even stronger.

He really repented and hated to death.

If he had known that this country son would be so promising, he would not have left him in the countryside for so many years, and it would be impossible to pass him out? But now, what's the point of saying this?

But it can't be said that if there is no old lady at home, he can still go to Su Cheng to fight, but with the old lady in front of him, it is really unsatisfactory. If the old lady is gone......

Suddenly, Ouyang Jin startled himself.

He, how could he think that? If it were known, it would really be ruined, and it would never be able to turn over.

The old lady is not a stepmother who abuses him, she is a real mother-in-law, and she can't be confused.

However, if Ouyang Jin couldn't help thinking about it. The old lady is getting older, and there are fewer and fewer times when she can take care of things, maybe she won't be able to manage it in the next two years, but what if she lives a healthy life for another seven or eight years, or even ten years?

Ouyang Jin was entangled.

These few years are the ascent period of his son, and if you want to catch him, you have to catch him early, otherwise it will not be easy to get on him when his wings grow hard.

But the old lady is always his own mother......

The Royal Palace, the Imperial Study.

Gao Xian was not surprised by Ouyang Kang's arrival, and while working hard to deal with government affairs, he said, "You must have made a decision when you come here now, right?" ”

"Yes." Ouyang Kang knelt on the ground and said respectfully and firmly, "I'll go." ”

Gao Xian stopped writing, squinted his eyes and landed on him, with a somewhat satisfied smile, "I'm just a little strange, why did you choose this time to say?" And not before your exam results are announced? Or are you so sure you can get first? ”

Ouyang Kang said, "It's because I can't be sure that I don't want to affect His Majesty's decision." ”

The appreciation in Gao Xian's eyes was even stronger, but he didn't say anything, "Go ahead." ”

Ouyang Kang left, and after going back, he was the first to see Su Cheng.

No one knew what the master and apprentice said, but everyone could see that Su Cheng was very angry, and he was extremely angry.

※

Three days later, the Holy Decree was given.

Ouyang Kang, the champion of the new department, was named by the emperor as a send-off envoy because of his excellent grades and outstanding appearance, and was responsible for escorting Princess Changle to the Qiyan tribe to complete the marriage, and on behalf of the Great Liang Dynasty, he sent an envoy to the northwest countries to form an alliance with those who were interested in friendly relations with the Great Liang.

In order to show that Ouyang Kang was willing to accept this task, the emperor personally decreed that he and the lord of Jiashan County should be married, and the gold medal Zhu Shou, the cyanotic Liang Crown, and other honor guards and servants.

When Empress Dowager Mu in Renshou Palace heard the news, Hadi laughed, "Is that kid crazy?" ”

But as soon as she said this, she stopped it in time, but the expression on her face was uncomfortable.

According to the rules, not to mention the county horse, even the horse, it has to wait until the day of the official marriage before it will be issued a golden book and officially canonized. Although it was an honor for the emperor to grant Ouyang Kang in advance, it was also a risk.

The envoy looks beautiful on the surface, and he hugs back and forth, but when he really goes out, who will take you seriously? It's not the minister of Fengtian Patrol, this is going to a foreign land! Not to mention whether others will respect or not, just sleeping in the open along the way will have to suffer a lot.

Besides, if you go, you will never be able to come back in a year or two, and it is not impossible for you to die in a foreign land. There was once an envoy in the previous dynasty, and because of the war, he went on an envoy for 19 years. When I left, I was in the prime of life, and when I came back, I became a dry old man. Although it has left a name for the ages, what is the use of that?

Father, mother, wife, son, and grandson are all dead. He was left alone, even if the later emperor gave him more rewards and more glory, what was the use of an old man with white hair?

But Ouyang Kang didn't go out for himself, he was for the Liang Dynasty. Although Empress Dowager Mu felt that this kid was stupid, she wouldn't say it. Even because of this, the disgust with him was unconsciously alleviated a little. For Nian Fu, there is also a faint sympathy.

The matter is clear, in case Ouyang Kang has a good deal, Nian Fu will be a widow. In case there is no news in the past seventeen or eighteen years, you can't remarry if you want to.

So Empress Dowager Mu only said that, and then she didn't express any opinion on this matter.

It's just that she began to think that if something happened to Ouyang Kang, Nianfu wouldn't be able to marry anyone, she couldn't marry anyone, even if she wanted to hold a grandson and come back to succeed her, what should she do with the Mu family's incense?

Although Mu Shaoqin said before that it doesn't matter even if the incense is broken, how could Empress Dowager Mu accept it?

The Mu family must have a queen. So, where do you find the right child to make that stubborn brother accept?

Empress Dowager Mu began to have a headache.

And Kang Jierong of Pingwangfu is also having a headache.

Ouyang Kangzhong is not the champion, and it is none of her business whether she wants to go on an envoy or not. She only has a headache, how can she regain the favor of the Queen Mother? If even the Queen Mother doesn't help her, then what else can she count on?

Otherwise, go to Hui Niang's place again and see what you can do.

But Hui Niang was in a very bad mood, if it wasn't for Mu Shaoqin to stop her, she would have wanted to go to the broken garden to settle accounts with that kid from the Ouyang family!

"Why did he say that he would send an envoy and throw us away? And you, you go to the emperor to talk to him. Said that our family doesn't want this champion anymore, let him come back. Who can't let go, why should he be? ”

Speaking of which, Hui Niang was already crying.

She is a village girl in the countryside, and she doesn't understand any big truths. But the story of that envoy has long been adapted into an opera commentary, and it has been widely circulated for hundreds of years.

Nineteen years of perseverance in exchange for a lifetime of fame, if it were someone else, she would be in awe, but if she wants her own family, who doesn't feel distressed?

Mu Shaoqin sighed lightly, took her into his arms, didn't say anything, and gently comforted his wife with red eyes.

Kang Jierong definitely couldn't get in, but she was a little gloating in her heart. Let's just say that all the good things in the world can't fall on one person's head, they deserve it!

Broken Garden.

The old lady had tears in her eyes, but she refused to look at her grandson kneeling in front of her.

It's been almost an hour, Ouyang Kang's two knees are almost numb from pain, and they don't seem to be his own, but he still gritted his teeth and knelt there, without a single foreshadowing, and he didn't say a word.

"County Lord?"

Suddenly, with an exclamation, a water-green delicate figure flashed in, grabbed Ouyang Kang's side and knelt down, "Old lady, don't blame him." I agree to this. ”

The old lady was startled and wanted to reach out to help, but Nianfu's eyes were shining with water, "If you want to be angry, come to me." He's about to go out, in case he gets hurt...... But how is it good? ”

In a word, the old lady's long-held tears were summoned.

Glancing at his grandson who had hurt him for all those years, he waved his hand and said, "That's it, it's not up to my mother, just do whatever you want." But you'll have to remember that no matter where you go, there's such a nice girl waiting for you. You, if you don't come back soon, I'll ...... I'll quit this family when the time comes! ”

"Nope! I'll wait for him. He won't come back for a year, I'll wait for a year, he won't come back for ten years, I'll wait for ten years! Ouyang Kang, as long as you don't change your mind, even if you want me to wait for a lifetime, I will admit it! But if you change your mind, I won't let you go even if I'm a ghost! ”

Ouyang Kang pursed his lips tightly and didn't speak, but his eyes were also wet. Nodding vigorously, like the most obedient child.

But everyone was very sad. (To be continued......)
