The eldest brother has always been wise, and has experienced the change of dynasties, but he had already given up his illusions about Da Chu as early as two years ago, and asked him to go south to find a place for the Ouyang family to live.

The eldest brother said: "I can't leave, I have to live and die with Da Chu, but I can't watch you and the descendants of the Ouyang family buried in the capital...... When you leave the capital and settle in the northeast or south, only you, the elder, are in a foreign country, and when something happens, the juniors will have a reason to leave the capital for you. "The eldest brother's method is excellent, and he likes to travel, and he has been away for a long time, and the whole Dachu knows that even if he is as suspicious as Emperor Jingyuan, he will not suspect that he is out to find a way back for the Ouyang family, but he thinks that he is traveling again.

So no matter how much he wants to see his eldest brother, if he doesn't go back, if Da Chu's situation is not optimistic, he will slowly take out the juniors of the Ouyang family.

Gu Jinan looked at Mr. Ouyang's painful appearance, and had already guessed the fifty percent reason, so he didn't speak again, but said something about Cheng Ge'er: "When the student was eighteenth birthday last year, Cheng Ge'er gave me two gifts, one was bought with all his private money, and even an inkstone, but Xiaoyu said, I already have a lot of inkstones, and as the most favored younger brother, it is simply perfunctory to send inkstones. ”

"Brother Cheng was in a hurry, seeing that the student was learning to carve a stone medal, he decided to make a birthday gift for the student himself, but his private money had been spent, and he couldn't afford to buy any precious jade, so he finally learned from his father, found a tree root, and carved a wooden medal for the student himself." Gu Jinan said, untied a bag around his waist, took out a wooden medal from it, and handed it to Mr. Ouyang: "This is it." Mr. Ouyang took a look and said with disgust: "That's it?" It's really ugly, what kind of hand is he, how can he carve a wooden seal like this? "I can't even read the words, let alone those auspicious cloud lines, which are almost like weeds.

Gu Jinan smiled and said, "It's really ugly that you can't see anyone, but it's a student's favorite birthday gift." When the student received this gift, he was very proud, feeling that his younger brother had finally grown up and sensible, and as long as he continued to grow up like this, he would not have to worry too much about him in the future. After speaking, he paused, and continued: "Although Mr. can't go back to Beijing to accompany Mr. Ouyang, I can make some gifts from time to time and bring them back to the capital. This is the joy and pride of every brother.

Mr. Ouyang was stunned for a moment, but smiled: "You kid turned such a big turn, even if you want to tell the old man this?" Cheng, the old man remembered it, and tried to send some handmade things to the eldest brother. "Brother An, this kid is comforting him, he received this love.

"You've been tired for a long time, go back and rest, the old man is fine." Mr. Ouyang talked to Gu Jin'an, and his heart was much more comfortable, and his guilt for his eldest brother was reduced a lot.

Gu Jinan was very knowledgeable, and seeing that Mr. Ouyang was in a much better mood, he got up and said, "Yes, the student will go back first, you can rest well." Ah Song sent Gu Jin'an out of the door, and when he left, he also gave Gu Jinan a salute, and said: "Brother An, thank you very much, if it weren't for you, the second old lady would have felt guilty for a long time." "In fact, long before the drought in Dachu, the second old lady had already returned to the capital and decided to accompany the eldest old lady until the eldest old lady died.

But later, after encountering the annihilation of the Weiguo Gong lineage, the drought in the northwest, the ineffective disaster relief of the Chu Emperor, and the military disaster due to the disaster, the second old lady left the capital and traveled all over the Great Chu.

Since then, the second old lady's mood has been bad, often insomnia, Ah Song knows that the second old lady is afraid that the old lady will have a good time, he can't go back to see the old lady for the last time.

The second old lady also knew very well that as soon as the new money village opened, it was inevitable that the old lady would enter the palace to face the saint...... The second old lady was the most reluctant to bow to the Chu Emperor at this age, but he couldn't help but do it, so he cried twice secretly.

Tonight is thanks to Brother An, if it weren't for Brother An, the second old lady would have to suffer for a long time. Gu Jinan shook his head and said, "Brother Asong is serious, and Mr. Ouyang is also for us." "The matter of Xinqian Zhuang, his family can't afford it, and Dou Shaodong's family can't afford it, only Boss Ouyang can come forward to eliminate Emperor Chu's doubts and turn this matter that was feared by Emperor Chu into something praised by Emperor Chu.

After Gu Jinan said a few words to Ah Song, he asked Ah Song to go back to take care of Mr. Ouyang, but he didn't leave, but waited until Mr. Ouyang fell asleep before returning to the accommodation arranged for them by the ancient prefect.

Dou Shaodong's family lived in the same courtyard with him, and when he heard the noise, he opened the door and came out and asked, "Is the old man okay?" "But don't fall, if the old man falls, he Dou Keke will be dragged to slaughter.

Gu Jinan said: "It's okay, I've already slept." ”

"It's good to sleep, you can go to sleep quickly, I'm tired to death." Dou Shaodong's family yawned and went back to the house to sleep.

Gu Jinan was also tired to the limit, and soon fell asleep. They slept peacefully, but Shen Si, the third son of the Ying family, and the fifth son of the Zongzheng family were so angry that they couldn't sleep.

"Heh, Ouyang Hu thinks that this will cut off our financial route?" The fifth young master of the Zongzheng family sneered and asked the third prince Ying: "Brother Ying, the Ouyang family has come forward, does your family dare to continue to do this?" Ying Sangongzi smiled indifferently, looked at the dark night outside the window and said: "The Ouyang family can't come forward, it has nothing to do with whether the Ying family wants to do this business or not." As he spoke, he turned his head to look at Zong Zhengqin and said, "Brother Qin, do you dare to continue to do this business?" Zong Zhengqin said: "Hmph, why don't you dare? "The emperor is short of money, as long as the peasants can pay the taxes, then the emperor will earn, and when the time comes, my grandfather will give the emperor a sum of silver, then everyone will be happy, why be afraid of the Ouyang family?

The biggest official of the Ouyang family now is a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, and such an inconsequential official position also wants to suppress them?

Not to mention Ouyang Hong, that old man is over eighty years old, and he will pass away at any time, and now he has long lost the real power in his hands, what can he do with Shilin's prestige?

Give him face and call him a big Confucian, if you don't give face, you will be a bad old man. After hearing this, the third prince smiled slightly, and said, "With Brother Qin's words, I will be relieved." "It's a pity that Zong Zhengqin and Ying Sangongzi are too young and underestimate Ouyang Hong's status in the heart of Emperor Chu, and the plans of the two of them are doomed to fail, and they will pay the price for it.

Shen Si was relieved when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Since the Ying family and the Zongzheng family have decided to continue to do this business, then we have to hurry." ”
