Ouyang Ximu drank with Yang Sutian for a while and asked, "Why did you leave suddenly?" I was still going to wait for you to come back and promote the change with me, after you left, I didn't even have a reassuring helper around me, but then fortunately a few sons got acquainted with several batches of new middle school jinshi, there were intruders, obedient, otherwise, the change may really be stillborn. ”

Yang Sutian said: "Can you still remember the family of Mei Tianguan of the household department? Mei Tianguan resisted change, and I began to think that he was fighting against your change because of his personal grudge with you, not because of his personal relationship with you, but also because of the promotion of new vitality in society, and participated in him. I didn't expect that in order to make the change smooth, you would actually take Mei Tianguan's family under the knife, even if he was guilty, he would not die, you did things too neatly, and you didn't wait for the autumn queen, and beheaded his family many times when I was not at home. I heard the news on the way back, and that Jiang Shangyun prefect would rather not be an official than implement your changes, so I began to reflect on your approach, and I felt ashamed, so I resigned and went home. ”

Ouyang Ximu sighed and said: "It's been more than 20 years, I drank with you today, and you have also seen that the reform is very successful, the society is prosperous and stable, and the future generations will have a peaceful and good life, how can there be a change that does not hurt people." For the sake of a better life for the common people, I will do it even if I am scolded again, if it is still the same as before, the rich man has more and more land, the hereditary officials are getting bigger and bigger, and the people at the bottom will never come out, they will have no motivation to struggle. Yang Sutian took a few more sips, and he said to Yang Weihu: "You will be a border deputy in the future, and the wine will be a mistake, no matter where you go, don't mention that you are the son of the prime minister's deceased. ”

Yang Weihu stood up and saluted Prime Minister Ouyang with both hands, Ouyang Ximu said: "Xiaohu, being an official is not farming, it seems simple, but it is actually much more difficult and tiring than farming. You don't have a reputation now, and you are a deputy position, relatively not many things, usually internal, please ask your father to help you with your staff, you take more time to prepare for the exam, I hope that in the near future, your generation can be stronger than us, can do something big, and push the change in a deeper direction. ”

Yang Sutian and the others were ready to go home first to report the good news before taking office, because of their father, Yang Weihu's idea of going to Linqian Temple again did not dare to come true. Shi Qi went to Niu Lixin's house for lunch a day, Dao Zhen and they are now converted to Buddhism, they can't eat meat, Teacher Su is old and wants to be a vegetarian, but Shi Qi is when he grows up, and the consumption of martial arts is large, sometimes Dao Zhen will let him go to Niu Lixin to make up for some game. Not only is Shi Qi likable, when Niu Lixin sees him, he will think of the body of the fourth lady, and he is also very attentive to Shi Qi, because Shi Caishuang knows that the fourth lady has the idea of marrying Niu Yuemei as a daughter-in-law, and he also loves this future little son-in-law doubly.

After the meal, Mei Yaoming teased Shi Qi and said: "I heard that you learn everything faster than other children, you have a jade flute at home, you still can't play it, right?" I have a bamboo here, teach you a good tune, and you will teach it to Yuemei in the future. Remember, don't blow it outside, and if you ask about it later, say that you learned it by accident, and don't mention me. ”

Shi Qi nodded not very understanding, Mei Yaoming began to teach from scratch, and after more than a month, Shi Qi was able to fluently play the famous songs of the Mei family. Mei Yaoming said: "If you use your jade flute to blow, the sound quality will be purer and the sound line will be better." That night, Shi Qi pestered the fourth lady to ask for the jade flute, and the fourth lady said: "That's the heirloom of your Uncle Niu's family, we can't ask for it, and when Uncle Niu gives birth to a son in the future, we still have to pay it back." ”

Shi Caishuang did not live up to Mr. Mei's expectations and gave birth to a son smoothly, Mei Yao prepared a name for his grandson early tomorrow, called Niu Chaoyang, looking forward to the Mei family starting again, like the rising sun. That night, Mei Yaoming made an exception and drank a few glasses with Niu Lixin, they looked at Shi Cai Shuangniang on the kang, Mei Yaoming was very content, and their Mei family finally had another chance.

Mei Yaoming's voice was so loud that Shi Caishuang, who had just given birth to a child, could hear it, and he said: "Niu Lixin, I have lived in the mountains for so many years, and I have made you suffer, but otherwise, we may not have today, I am the root of the Mei family's leakage, once someone knows, it may really be eliminated." Now, after you have a future, people will live for a lifetime, and you can't forget the feud of our family, but now you only have one strength, and you have two children, I can't let you go into danger. I used to want to wait for you to have a son, so that you can go to avenge your family, but now, I don't think so, if you go out, what will happen to them? Therefore, I have now decided that you should raise your son like Shi Qi, so that in the future you will have better means to find out the truth and find the real culprit of the family. ”

Niu Lixin said: "By then, Ouyang Ximu's old man may have long been gone, belated justice is not justice, he will no longer feel it, we will get rid of all his descendants, what can we do?" It is enough to have a whole body of strength, at least let him know that the blood debt is to be paid by blood, and he cannot be removed, but also let him know that he is afraid and knows to be guarded. ”

Mei Yaoming said: "I also heard from all sides, you really don't rely on your mind, rely on your strength to break into the Prime Minister's Mansion, don't say that you can't get in, it's impossible to even let Ouyang Ximu know, you may be killed before you enter his mansion, or sent to the official, and you have lost your life in vain." Shi Caishuang had just given birth to a child, and she didn't have the strength to speak, she could only stare at Niu Lixin, but he was excited and couldn't see it.

Before Niu Chaoyang was full moon, Shi Caishuang also sent an invitation to Shifu, and after Shi Songshan saw it, he went to the courtyard of the fourth lady and said: "The Niu family gave birth to a son, and you, the big matchmaker, have to go and congratulate him in person." The fourth lady said, "I told the master, and I will go up the mountain with him then." Shi Songshan said: "You are Siniang and a matchmaker, if you want to go, I won't stop you, the old man is old, it is not suitable to go up the mountain, I have notified the housekeeper and will not arrange for him to go." ”

The fourth lady was stunned for a moment and said, "But he is your father, his family, he passed it on to you, can you still interfere with his actions?" Shi Songshan told the fourth lady that he was doing this for his father's good, the mountain was windy, and there were many people like this, so he couldn't afford to drink too much and suffer from the wind, so let him stay at home. When the old man heard that Shi Songshan didn't let him go up the mountain, he was really angry, he came to Shi Songshan and asked, "Where do I want you to agree?" When your surname is mine, I am not your son, and I can also take it back and hand it over to Changfeng in the future. ”

Shi Songshan said: "Don't be angry, I didn't say it, consider your body to not let you go up the mountain, if you want to see children, I'll let them bring it to you to see, it's easier to see adults." Don't say those words that make people laugh, now this family, you have already said it, don't you want to take back the right to manage? Can you take it and let me see it? Your power has ended at the moment of the transfer, and the next people only care about their own bowl of rice to eat, so they don't think about who's surname, for them, whoever has the final say is the same, why listen to you anymore. ”

The old man was so angry that the fourth lady promised not to participate in order to appease him. Shi Lao said: "I have received your wishes, you can take the children to have a lively time, it is rare to have such an opportunity to go out." You can help me explain it if you go, tell them that I am suddenly unwell, and don't let them know that Matsuyama is disrespectful to me. The fourth lady said: "A former child full moon, should not alarm the master, it is normal for you not to go, rest at home, I will go early and come back early to accompany you." ”

Shi Songshan excitedly accompanied the fourth lady, took a group of family members, prepared rich gifts, and went up the mountain. He had other thoughts about Shi Caishuang before, but later, after he married a woman, with the appearance of Shi Caishuang's second child, this feeling was not strong. It's not the fourth lady, he sees it every day, he once had it for a short time, and the feeling of not getting it in the future is a kind of torment, especially the fourth lady's thoughtfulness to the master, which makes him feel very uncomfortable, so today he restricted his freedom to the master.

On the way up the mountain, Shi Songshan looked at the sedan chair in front of him, and had a different feeling in his heart, Changfeng was his, and it would be great if Mrs. Miao was also his. He walked quickly to the edge of the sedan chair, let Changfeng come down, he wanted to hug it for a while, the fourth lady was not good at objecting, and asked Changfeng to hand him over. Shi Qi asked in the sedan chair: "Mother, why is Uncle Songshan so good to his younger brother, much better than me?" ”

The fourth lady is not easy to answer, children will not tell lies, he can understand. She only coaxed: "Your younger brother is young, not you, sensible, and old, Uncle Songshan is also good to you, you can't talk nonsense when you go out, he is now the head of the Shi family, we have to protect him, and we have to rely on him to live." Shi Qi pouted and said, "If you don't rely on him, I can also hunt with Uncle Lixin to feed you." The fourth lady sighed a lot after hearing this, Niu Lixin was in this tone back then, but she sacrificed her youth in order to have a good educational environment when she was young.

When I arrived at Niu Li's new home, the yard was not big, and there were too many people from the Shi family, Shi Caishuang greeted Shi Songshan and said: "Let the young master come in person, but it can bother us, please sit down, the place is small, and it will be a while." Shi Songshan said: "It's rare to come up, there are a lot of people in the temple, I accompanied Siniang to see the excitement, and when the meal is ready, call someone to call us." The fourth lady didn't want to go with him, but he said it in front of so many people, he is now a family member, and he is not good at disobeying.

The two of them walked side by side in front, and the fourth lady whispered, "This is a quiet place, you don't want to follow me so closely, it's not good." Shi Songshan said: "There are many quiet places in the temple, and I also know that there are many places in the backyard that are not for the donor to go, when the temple was repaired, I deliberately built a few more vacant houses, so that in the future, when the weather is hot, I can come up and live for a few days, I will branch the people, you and I will go to see?" The fourth lady said: "You can't talk nonsense here, you let the old man not come out just for this?" Don't do filthy things, be careful that my Buddha sends disasters to you. ”
