Chapter 114: What kind of person?
Scholar Ouyang Hao, there are six out of twenty this year, and he is a second-class jinshi.
Those who can be admitted to the Jinshi, at least they will not look bad, their facial features are good, their faces are gentle, although their family background is a little average, but they are also heirlooms, especially since he has won the Jinshi, it will be very different in the future, and he can't change his body, and he is also an official eunuch, and his children and grandchildren will no longer let people call him a mud leg.
With such conditions, it seems that there is no problem in marrying a young lady from a high-ranking family.
Ouyang Hao can't say that he is bullish and coaxing, at least people think very highly of themselves, and they don't think that Hongchen will look down on him at all, of course, he is still sincere, and he took a lot of gifts to find Jin Qing.
"Hao sincerely asks to marry, and I hope that Zhuangyuanlang will help talk about it."
Looking at his appearance, although he didn't feel that the woman was climbing high, and his intentions were still very sincere, he seemed to have welcomed the beauty into the house, and he was full of confidence.
At that time, Jin Qing was in Yuefeng Tower, discussing the matter of Hanlin Academy with Xue Baiqiao and them, and heard that a fellow student was visiting, so he didn't care, so he invited someone into the door.
Since the end of the imperial examination, it is common for classmates to visit Jin Qing, but he is another person who heard that he was here, so he came to climb the relationship.
Unexpectedly, after a few words of greeting when they met, this person opened his mouth directly, Jin Qing was stunned when he heard the words, and looked carefully, only then did he remember that this person was actually a drunken crazy scholar that day. Today he was conscious and well-dressed, and he didn't recognize anyone for a while.
He was stunned for a moment, and didn't speak for a long time.
Ouyang Hao understood, pursed his lips, and said with a smile: "I heard from Xia Gongzi that Zhuang Yuanlang once borrowed from that young lady's house. Now the champion Lang has been gifted to build a new champion mansion, I don't know when to move, when Hao Ke wants to ask for a glass of water and wine to drink. β
Jin Qing: "......"
He didn't speak, Xue Baiqiao smiled and raised his eyebrows: "This matter has always been Miss Hongchen's decision, when she wants our champion to move, then when Jin Qing will move, I don't know now." β
"This ...... Although the champion Lang is a dignified gentleman, the young lady also has a free and easy temperament when he wants to come. Not afraid of words. After all, they are not children, and this matter is slightly inappropriate. Ouyang Hao frowned and sighed, "It's better for the two of you not to get too close." Thankfully, my father and mother have always been open-minded. I must also know the benefits of Miss. Please also ......"
Jin Qing served tea, "Hehe! Drop-off. β
A few guys smiled and invited people out, and Ouyang Hao was kicked out of the gate of Yue Fenglou in confusion. Still ignorant.
Xue Baiqiao didn't say a word from head to toe, and only after a while did he look up in a daze: "What is this, what does it mean?" Did I hear the difference? β
How does he think, Ouyang Hao wants to marry Hongchen, don't talk about this matter, he didn't even touch the edge, that person is like he has already been nine out of ten, first put up the score, and blamed Jin Qinglai, and implied that he didn't mind that Hongchen and Jin Qing might have an improper relationship!
"Where does this confidence come from?"
Xue Baiqiao couldn't cry or laugh, it was him, even if it was assumed that his fiancΓ©e was not the tigress in his house, but this Miss Hongchen......
Ahem, don't think about it, think about it and know that the lady doesn't look down on him like this.
As for who Hongchen can look at, he has no idea at all.
But......
Jin Qing gritted her teeth: "Anyway, Sister Hongchen can take a fancy to it, it will definitely not be this kind of person!" β
Don't mention the wife who died in front of you, this kind of thing, others will be taboo, but they don't believe in any rumors about the wife, if the person is good, even if he is unwilling, he will refuse politely, and he will not say mean words.
But his inexplicable sense of superiority still goes to others to forget it, don't block Sister Hongchen.
Jin Qing was in a hurry, and forgot the rules and the like, so she called Sister Hongchen familiar, and changed her words rashly, she always felt that it was too rusty to call Miss or something.
Hongchen saw that he was really not used to it, so he let him go, anyway, no one knows now that Long Zhang Fengzi is the emperor's stupid little son, it doesn't hurt to call it, that is, what will happen to his identity in the future, and the ministers who are used to seeing the wind and the rudder will never mention these things now and block him.
"And Xia Shijie's rude man, who knows what nonsense he talked to Ouyang Hao and caused us such trouble."
Xue Baiqiao frowned, a few days ago, he still felt that Xia Shijie had been deceived, and he was still gloating, it seemed a little inauthentic, and he came out like this today, he felt that the liar was too merciful, eighty taels was nothing, and it was good to deceive him in one breath.
The two of them almost forgot about business, and muttered together, discussing whether to have a breath with Hongchen, so as to save this guy from bumping into him one day, and then getting angry, it is not cost-effective to get angry and break his body.
"By the way, I checked that day, he can teach part-time at the Beijing Girls' School, don't make trouble again."
Xue Baiqiao sighed and said softly.
Hongchen was busy at this time.
Luo Niang and the others were all admitted to the women's school, and a total of 20 people were admitted in the third round of assessment, and they accounted for 18 places.
The Beijing Girls' School can live in the academy, or you can go to school, and there are a lot of trivial things to do before enrolling, at least you have to prepare some gifts to go around with the gentlemen, everyone goes, if you don't go, it will look unsociable.
Someone in the Yujue space laughed, it is said that it is all the planes, no matter where it is, but everyone who enters the school is to worship Mr. first, and there are also parents who are particular, and they have to give gifts to Mr. at four o'clock and eight festivals, otherwise they will not be at ease.
Hongchen thought about it, she didn't pay too much attention to it, but since it was a customary rule, there was no need to break it, she still had to be careful, the problem was that there were eighteen candidates in the family, and the gentleman of the academy counted them in general, and there were more than ten, this gift was simple to say, and it was not so easy to prepare.
"It's better to send some small bits and pieces like purses, Miss didn't just get a new trick, and it will be delicate to embroider it when the time comes."
Luo Niang also had a sad face, and came up with an idea that was not an idea for a while.
Hongchen sighed: "Then make some purses, the female gentleman sends the purse, but there are a few old gentlemen in the academy, and Mr. Riding Archery is a man, so it is better to make some sword spikes and send them with a fan." β
And so it can be. You don't have to give too many heavy gifts.
These are not difficult, Hongchen took Luo Niang and Xiao Yan out to buy some silk and satin back, it doesn't need to be good, it can be in the middle and upper, one person can buy a few clothes of satin, and then let the family give a little head, everyone makes a few new clothes, and the rest of the bits and pieces are just used as purses.
"There are not enough color threads at home, so buy more this time, so that the silk village can give us a discount."
It's not that hard at home. It's very generous. This time, Hongchen went to Yingchuan and got a lot of rewards, but Luo Niang and they were used to being thrifty, and most of the things they went out to buy were all in one go. Lots of them. It can definitely be discounted.
No way. Although the family is wealthy, the population is also quite large.
I went out in a carriage and just left the alley. Turning the corner, the carriage paused, stopped, and the coachman was startled: "You ...... man"
It's just that at first glance, the person poked at the mouth of the alley was a young man dressed as a scholar, so he swallowed back the unpleasant words, "Excuse me, let me go." β
The house they live in now is not too rich and noble, it is relatively remote, but the law and order is good, everyone is more polite to socialize, and the coachman is not willing to make enemies with people at will.
Luo Niang lifted the curtain, and as soon as Hongchen appeared, she saw that the young man's eyes instantly lit up, and a layer of red light appeared on his cheeks.
"Miss Hongchen? Under Ouyang Hao, the second class Jinshi, ranked forty-three, the family has 300 acres of fertile land, and there are three shops in the capital, which is a good family, his father died early, and his mother Wei's has always been gentle and kind. β
Luo Niang and Xiao Yan: "......"
Hongchen was calm, his face remained unchanged at all, and he said with a smile: "Thank you for your love, Hongchen is blessed, I don't dare to climb high, and I hope that Ouyang Gongzi will find a good woman as soon as possible." β
Ouyang Hao's face turned white.
Hongchen glanced at him, frowned slightly, and suddenly said: "The little girl shouldn't be like Meng Lang, but the son has come to me, and I always have to remind me to be worthy of my conscience." β
Her gaze swept over Ouyang Hao's shoulder, "Childe still thinks about it, whether he has provoked something, please ask someone with a good way to resolve one or two, these days, don't go out at will." β
Ouyang Hao's face turned from white to blue, probably thinking that Hongchen deliberately buried people, and his face was faintly dark.
Hongchen didn't pay attention to it, and before the words fell, he kicked down the car door, and the driver was busy driving away.
After walking a long way, Luo Niang jumped to her feet in anger: "How can anyone be so rude, it's just, it's shameless!" β
If you are sincere, will you come to the door by yourself? It should be the elders who should be invited to visit the conversation first, and the two parties are interested, so they can invite the matchmaker to come to the door, he is so casual, he is not bullying the young lady who has no mother's family to rely on, he has changed the ladies of other families, someone dares to be so Meng Lang, it is nothing to be killed!
Hongchen smiled: "What's annoying, people really think that they are straightforward in doing this, we should not only be considerate, but also flattered." β
Da Zhou is actually conservative in this regard, and the youngest daughter is not conservative in private, who is in the family, and they are interested in each other, so it is not difficult to ask the elders to make peace.
Ouyang Hao's move was indeed excessive, but if he really let those readers know, the most he could say was that he was amorous and amorous, and he wouldn't have a bad reputation.
Literati, the prodigal skeleton is also chic, who cares about the daughter of other people's families will not be troubled!
Hongchen flicked the veil on the lower window, Shi Shiran went to look at the hawkers outside, Luo Niang fiddled with the needle and thread, and muttered: "Miss, is there really something wrong with that madman just now?" β
"Well, there's a female ghost sitting on her shoulder."
Luo Niang: "......"
She found that when her young lady talked about this, it was becoming more and more light, and it was clear that as long as she saw it before, she would be nervous for a day or two.
Hongchen rubbed his shoulders, turned around and hugged the soft quilt and leaned on the cushion: "It was rare before, but I have seen a lot in the past two years." β
Moreover, its Yujue space has not given her any realistic tasks for more than half a year, and those powers are said to be normal, because she is now a serious owner of Yujue, and each master must have a period of inspection, and during the general investigation, as long as the task is not very necessary, all are suspended, which is a good thing.
Those powerful gods are mysterious and secretive, and they all say that as long as the investigation period is over, she can feel the indescribable wonder. This jade jue space itself is very wonderful, and Hongchen feels that she will not make a fuss about anything in the future.
Hongchen smiled, suddenly stretched out his hand, closed the curtains, and tilted his head. His eyes stared at the empty window, and he smiled, "Tired, don't block the light." β
As he spoke, he took out a talisman and stuck it on the carriage next to him.
Luo Niang was stunned, sighed in her mouth, shrank back, grabbed the cushion in front of her, covered her head and fell to the side and pretended to sleep.
There was a gust of wind blowing in front of the window.
A dignified and quiet young woman, standing upright in front of the window, the sun falling. I can't see a shadow at all.
This one. Apparently not human.
She glanced at Hongchen fixedly, bit her lip, and made a lip gesture at her - don't marry him! Then it turned into smoke and dust, and disappeared without a trace.
The talisman of the red dust paste just made her appear. I didn't plan to strictly control it. Ghosts exist in the human world. Although it is against the way of heaven. But since it exists, there is a reason for existence, and there is only obvious reason in front of it. It's sober, and outsiders should not meddle easily.
It's not the same as evil spirit.
Ouyang Hao looked at the carriage from afar, and his heart suddenly felt like being scratched by a snow-white and pink kitten.
It's not that he hasn't seen a beauty, Song Shishi in Dielou, that is also a peerless elegance, but when he sees it, he just thinks it's beautiful.
The beauty he saw just now was different, he used all his strength to make himself serious and serious, and he didn't lose his temper.
"Maybe it's in a dream?"
The face, the eyes, the long black hair, none of them did not match the most beautiful image in his mind.
Ouyang Hao's heart suddenly swelled up with infinite swelling - I want to get her!
In an instant, he felt that his body was lighter, and he seemed to be several years younger, and then became a little boy of seventeen or eighteen years old.
He gritted his teeth, flew on his horse, and rushed home in one go.
His mother-in-law Wei is sitting in the house picking up Buddha beans, it seems that in recent years, Wei has become more and more fond of copying Buddhist scriptures, picking up Buddha beans, not going out all day long, can always be patient to do this, except for serving his son to eat and drink, nothing else to do, is to burn incense and worship Buddha.
The neighbors all felt that she had killed three daughters-in-law in a row, and she felt uncomfortable, so she could only place her trust in the gods and Buddhas, so she didn't think it was strange, but Ouyang Hao didn't like her mother very much, and always persuaded her to go out and walk around more, don't make it smoky all day long, looking gloomy and gloomy, which makes people feel very bad.
Besides, my mother is like this all day long, and she doesn't always remind people of those old people and old things, which makes people feel uncomfortable.
"My son, why did you come back at this time and didn't go to the academy?"
As soon as Wei saw Ouyang Hao, a kind smile appeared on his face.
Ouyang Hao came over, helped his mother to the side and sat down as usual, and said softly: "Mother, you pushed the Su family." β
Webster was stunned: "Pushed? But what's wrong with the Su family? β
She thought about it carefully, the Su family is a merchant, and the ancestors have been imperial merchants, but there are two sons in this generation, one has passed the Jinshi, and his own son is in the same department, and the other is also in Xiucai, the younger son also has some ways in general affairs, and can afford the family business.
"Anyway, you quickly pushed it." Ouyang Hao pursed his lips, "There is someone in my heart, don't worry, your daughter-in-law can't run." β
And before he had finished speaking, he took a piece of silver from his house, fifty taels, and threw it in his bosom.
Wei Shi looked at it blankly for a long time, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Hey, this kid, it's really worry-free, if I kick my legs one day, what will he do!" β
Within a few days, from ten to eight out of ten in the literati circle in the capital knew that Ouyang Hao was frantically pursuing Hongchen.
Guarding the door of Hongchen's house day and night to tell his heart, he almost let the yamen arrest him, but he didn't change his life.
At first, Luo Niang and the others were kind to persuade each other, trying to persuade people to leave, but then they almost scolded, this guy doesn't get in oil and salt, and I don't know if there is a problem with his brain!
Hongchen is now a celebrity.
Her matter in Yingchuan, although because it involved a lot of secrets, the people present at the time did not dare to leak it at will, but the number of people was too large, and it was inevitable that the news would not be leaked.
Moreover, at the end of this year's palace examination, the champion Lang gave him flowers, and Hongchen also has a lot of popularity in the literati circle.
Now let Ouyang Hao toss like this.
Hongchen didn't listen to it herself, but she knew that in the eyes of the wives of some wealthy families, she was about to become a vixen who didn't know how to check. I heard that Xue Baiqiao was very close to her, and several times, his mother-in-law of Mrs. Hou also searched for news to see if his precious son had been drugged by the fox spirit.
"It's just mud on the surface of your feet!"
Luo Niang and the others were very angry.
Hongchen sighed: "This Ouyang Gongzi's popularity is not very good. β
She wasn't too angry, and if she came back at first, she still valued fame very much, and would do anything to get a good name. But now. Fame is just an addition, good is naturally good, and it doesn't hurt if it's not good.
A person can't be liked by everyone in the world, besides. She was innocent about it. But any normal person can understand.
Who doesn't know that Ouyang Hao is at Old Lady Zou's birthday banquet. Because a portrait is sick, it is not that she has any personal relationship with that person.
This time, Ouyang Hao was able to make trouble. Or is it because he is not well-informed enough, after all, he is just a civilian scholar, he has not yet been out of office, and he has no way, I am afraid that she is only lucky to be admitted to Yanshan Academy, and has made friends with Jin Qing's peasant girl, and now he has earned some industry, not poor, in Ouyang Hao's eyes, he is so sincere in asking to marry, that is true love, otherwise it is not difficult to ask her to be a little as a scholar.
If there is a person who is willing to remind him that his identity is not so ordinary, this person will not dare to come nonsense no matter how sick he is.
Hongchen shook his head: "Okay, it's not a matter for him to make trouble like this, Luo Niang, you let Jin Qing go down and talk to him in private, just say that I have the queen's eyes, maybe I will be regarded as a goddaughter by the queen, and when the marriage is not autonomous, I hope he will be stingy with his reputation and serve the country as soon as possible." β
Luo Niang frowned: "This is not appropriate, miss, we don't know what kind of character Ouyang Hao is, what should he do if he wants to talk nonsense outside?" β
Hongchen raised his eyebrows: "It's the same...... Then don't let Jin Qing go, let Xue Baiqiao ask Hou Ye, we owe Xue Hou Ye a favor, and ask his old man to come forward as an elder to settle the matter. β
As long as Ouyang Hao dies down and the old marquis speaks, no one will talk about it, and the rumors will soon dissipate, and there will be no big problem.
Luo Niang felt aggrieved, so she had no choice but to respond.
In fact, if you are serious about dealing with any enemy, then Hongchen can come up with a lot of tricks casually, and I am afraid that I am afraid of such irrationality.
Smart people are not difficult to deal with, stupid people are easy to deal with, such fools who think they are smart, and they can't get out of their own fantasies, that's really annoying, or invite a big Buddha to come over and drink, simple and neat.
The old marquis is still very willing to give Hongchen this little face.
It is also a very good thing to just look at this little girl's own ability and form a good fate, the old marquis can be the emperor's friend for decades, not taboo, and be kind to others, these four words must be engraved in the bones.
Sure enough, Hongchen rested for a night, and on the second day, there was no Ouyang Hao at the door to block her. When Luo Niang and the others went out to buy various things, they also felt refreshed.
"It's so pure, even the sky is blue."
Let a madman block the door for a long time, who can be comfortable?
Anrenfang, Xia family
Spring is coming to an end, and there are countless reds.
Thank you for the spring flowers in the garden, to the point of showing a bit of decadence, Chen Wan sat in front of the window and looked out, looking in a trance.
Xia Shijie knelt in front of her, lowered his head and didn't dare to make a sound, and after a long time, he heard his mother bow her head slightly and asked, "Shi Feng said, did you point Ouyang Hao to find Hongchen?" β
Chen Wan's voice was very light, Xia Shijie was shocked, and hurriedly bent his knees, raised his head and said: "Mother, don't be angry, my son didn't mean it, although Ouyang Hao is not worthy of Hongchen's sister, but he is sincere and sincere, I also think, in fact, my sister's marriage is lower, it is not bad, a high door has the benefits of a high door, but if she marries lower, she can control her husband and be the master of the house in her in-law's house, in fact, life is also comfortable, if this Ouyang Hao can really be wholeheartedly devoted to his sister and let his sister touch, it seems that it is okay, My son really didn't expect it to be like this! β
If he let Hongchen hear this, he would definitely be very surprised-two lives and two lives, these words have not changed much!
Chen Wan's eyebrows and eyes were extremely cold.
She doesn't look like a country and a city, but after all, she has a mother who is a country and a city, and when she puts her face up, her charm resembles a queen, every time she does this, Xia An has to throw away her armor, and she can't disobey her wife's will at all, but now she has a straight face, but it makes Xia Shijie's heart tremble.
"Xia Shijie, if you say this, I will believe in your heart, but you remember to me, Achan I have raised her for more than ten years, and I naturally love her, but Hongchen is my biological daughter, your sibling sister, she is you, is my blood relative, in the past, your father did not let her go home for all kinds of reasons, not because he didn't hurt her, but for other reasons, we wronged her, and I don't even know how to compensate, these words, you have to keep them in your heart, and you have to think about it every day."
Chen Wan's voice was still very soft.
Xia Shijie shuddered, and suddenly remembered a sentence - if one person owes another person, there may be two reactions, the first is to try to make amends, and the second is to hurt and destroy the other party even more.
What kind of person am I? (To be continued.) )
