Chapter Forty-Seven: You're Finished

Under the eyes of early summer, Yan Heng got into the carriage of the Ouyang family early, preparing to go with Ouyang Jin to see Xiong Xiu in Zhixian County.

Although this was the first time Yan Heng had met his parents in the county, he was not nervous.

When they arrived at Ouyang's house, Ouyang Xue and Dou Ding, who were marching side by side in the courtyard, attracted Yan Heng's attention.

Yan Heng didn't speak, but Ouyang Xue glanced back, and then his demeanor in front of Dou Ding became more and more gentle.

"Do you know who Junsheng is next to Xue'er?"

Ouyang Jin walked out at this time, and he looked much more energetic when he changed into his official clothes.

Yan Heng saw Ouyang Jin asking him, so he had no choice but to say that he didn't know.

"He is the son of Shi Dou Haiyong, the head of the Ningwang Mansion, Xue'er's cousin, he is quite talented, this time he returns to his hometown and intends to win the county championship, you can also have more contact with him, see the sages and think, although you are not good at learning, it is impossible to get a little literary from him, but his family is backed by the palace, which will be of great help to you in the future."

Ouyang Jin still has a good impression of Yan Heng now, especially the maturity and stability shown by Yan Heng, which makes him feel that Yan Heng has many differences from several children in his family, so he also intends to introduce a way for Yan Heng to help him improve his connections.

Yan Heng knew that Ouyang Jin was kind, but he knew what the Ning Wangfu was from, it was a master who rebelled and was ambushed and expelled from the country during the Zhengde period, and when he saw that Ouyang Jin was okay with himself, he persuaded him:

"It's not that the little nephew is abrupt, it's better for Uncle Shi to stay away from this person, although it's nothing at the moment, if it is more than thirty years later, the palace they rely on will bring them great disasters, the gentleman seeks advantages and avoids disadvantages, Uncle Shi must be vigilant."

Ouyang Jin didn't understand why Yan Heng said this, and he didn't ask deeply, and even thought that Yan Heng was jealous when he saw that Dou Ding was intimate with his niece, and deliberately used a serious tone to intimidate himself.

Ouyang Jin, who thought that he had read countless people, couldn't help but smile secretly, thinking that Yan Heng dared to play carefully in front of him, or he was too young.

However, Ouyang Jin didn't want to ask Yan Heng if he had any thoughts about his niece Ouyang Xue, but he felt that he needed to remind Yan Heng, lest he fall into a love network with no ending too early, just like he did back then, and in the end he didn't get anything.

Therefore, Ouyang Jin couldn't help but say: "I can't stay away, my niece is arrogant, saying that she will only marry the champion in this life, and now it is estimated that this person can fulfill her long-cherished wish, do the virtuous nephews think they are as worthy?" ”

Yan Heng's heart couldn't help but tighten, but he immediately regained his natural look, and said with a smile: "It's a good match, it's a good match!" ”

After saying that, Yan Heng couldn't help but glance up at Ouyang Xue again, and fell into deep thought, secretly thinking that although this Ouyang Xue had nothing to do with him, it would be a pity if he was killed by King Ning's disaster in the future, and he didn't know if he would have a chance to save her in the future.

Ouyang Jin also thought that he was because what he said just now made him fall into an inferiority complex that his talent was not as good as Dou Ding, and he didn't want to say anything more, so the whole carriage was extremely quiet.

……

"Cousin", Dou Ding shouted Ouyang Xue, who looked back at the carriage that Yan Heng was in, and saw that Ouyang Xue had catkins on her head, so she couldn't help but raise her hand to pick it.

Ouyang Xue avoided Dou Ding's hand: "I'll come by myself." ”

Saying that, Ouyang Xue lost the enthusiasm she had just now, and said coldly: "Cousin, go back and review your homework, I'm tired." ”

"That, cousin, you have to remember to appreciate the collection of poems I wrote", Dou Ding was a little disappointed, but he still shouted busily.

Ouyang Xue squeezed out a smile: "Yes", and ran to the elder pavilion as she spoke.

The lonely Dou Ding had no choice but to leave in a huff.

Not long after, Ouyang Xue had already changed into a man's outfit and ordered the servant to bring a horse, and the whole person suddenly galloped towards the carriage where Yan Heng and Ouyang Jin were sitting.

Yan Heng had already arrived in front of the county government at this time, and Ouyang Jin had already talked with several officials who also came to the county government at this time, talking about how to make a fortune.

However, these officials may have seen that Yan Heng was dressed shabby, so they didn't come to talk to Yan Heng, even if Ouyang Jin introduced him, they only nodded slightly.

Yan Heng, who was unaware of the sound of horses' hooves behind him, couldn't help but think of Xue Baochai's satirical poems in the Dream of Red Mansions when he saw this.

"There is no warp and weft on the road in front of you, and the sky is black and yellow."

"What is the full text of this poem, but it is a novelty!"

Ouyang Xue's leather whip fell on the stone lion next to Yan Heng, and she crossed her waist heroically and looked at Yan Heng.

Yan Heng couldn't help but roll his eyes, this Ouyang Xue suddenly appeared and directly threw the whip, almost didn't scare his soul away, he naturally couldn't give Ouyang Xue a good face.

But at this time, several sharp-eyed officials recognized Ouyang Xue and hurriedly walked up: "Ouch, isn't this Miss Xue'er, now it is more and more Peugeot, Xie Yuanlang is really a good daughter, Ouyang Xianggong's niece is not late and abrupt, and there is no young man who can match her at this time." ”

Ouyang Jin noticed that Ouyang Xue was also coming, and hurriedly glared: "Don't go back yet, why is a daughter's family running here?" ”

Ouyang Xue pouted, so she had to ride back, but she hit the horse back and kicked Yan Heng again: "Hey, you haven't answered me yet, what is the full text of this poem?" ”

"Ouyang Xue! You're not done! ”

Yan Heng roared angrily and patted the shoulder that was kicked by Ouyang Xue with embroidered shoes.

Ouyang Xue was stunned for a moment, so angry that she immediately hit the horse back, and rushed into her second uncle's study, and said angrily while flipping through it: "I don't believe I can't find it!" ”

When several officials saw Yan Heng yelling at the eldest lady of the Ouyang family like this, they couldn't help but look at Yan Heng coldly, and secretly sighed in their hearts that this poor boy really didn't know how to lift.

Ouyang Jin also didn't expect Yan Heng's temper to be so short-tempered, he raised his hand and wanted to accuse Yan Heng for a few words, but he didn't know what to say, and said that he was still angry because of what he had just said, so he had to act as if nothing happened.

Yan Heng also regretted that he seemed to be too ungentle just now, but if you think about it, this eldest lady really doesn't have the slightest gentleness of her daughter's family, and she throws whips and kicks, which is not like words.

"Wait until you see the county honor, don't be so impatient anymore, take out your former calm attitude", Ouyang Jin still couldn't help but remind Yan Heng.

Yan Heng said yes again and again, and after a while, he saw a relatively short and fat green-shirted official come out, his appearance and demeanor were different from these crooked officials, and he made a killing decision: "What about Yan Hengren?" ”
