Chapter 138: Identity
Although Ouyang Shu is not the son-in-law of the Hu family in the real sense, however, in this Hu family's house, everyone knows that this is just a matter of procedure. Moreover, this procedure should be completed quickly, so the people of the Hu family are as happy as their own family members about Ouyang Shuzhong's exploration of flowers.
At the moment, Hu Lang temporarily went to buy a lot of dishes, as well as ribbons and other things for celebration. That night, the Hu family suddenly turned on the lights, and the artillery battle was set off for a long time, crackling for half an hour, shaking almost everyone in the Hu family's house into temporary deafness. Originally, it was just intended to be made as a meal for the reunion family banquet, but it was temporarily changed to a big feast for all the masters and servants of the Hu family.
Although these preparations were hastily prepared, they were not as spectacular as ordinary feasts, and there was not as much food and drink as ordinary feasts. But the excitement of this banquet is far greater than that of ordinary feasts. There are still quite a lot of servants of the Hu family, plus a group of masters, which makes the whole scene very lively. However, everyone maintained restraint, and although Ouyang Shu was the focus of everyone, he was not poured a lot of wine.
It wasn't until the dead of night that the crowd dispersed. Ouyang Shu still lives in the Huishui Pavilion Courtyard, but Fan Xiaolu went to sleep in the garden with the Hu sisters.
The next morning, Ouyang Shu had just gotten up, and Hu Lang arrived.
Ouyang Shu also knew that he must have a lot of private things to say to himself, there were too many people yesterday, and some words naturally could not be exported. Moreover, Ouyang Shu himself also mentioned to Hu Lang that this time the court gave a short leave, and Ouyang Shu couldn't stay in Xiutuo for long, so he had to leave for home in the next two days.
However, Hu Lang's personal arrival early in the morning still surprised Ouyang Shu. Normally, this kind of conversation is better to be held at night, but Hu Lang is very anxious, and he can't help urging him, so he came over early. The sooner he made things clearer, the sooner he was comfortable, this is what he thinks now.
Mu Wu slept well last night? Most of the beginning of the conversation was like this, and Hu Lang was inevitably vulgar.
Ouyang Shu smiled and replied nonsense: Okay! Baozheng is looking for me, is there anything important?
Hu Lang smiled, sat down next to Ouyang Shu honestly and unceremoniously, and said with a smile: Shouldn't Mu Wu be called differently?
Ouyang Shu was suddenly a little embarrassed. After all, the word father-in-law is not so easy to export, Ouyang Shu is not shy, he is just not very used to this word.
Hu Lang was not reluctant, and said: It's okay if you don't want to call now, but if you don't scream, things still have to be done after all, you look at the things between you, how to do it?
Ouyang Shu thought for a while and said: My leave this time is only forty days, and now a full ten days have passed, this matter should be done within half a month, otherwise I am afraid it will be too late.
Hu Lang nodded.
Ouyang Shu was relieved to see Hu Lang agree. It's not that he is worried that Hu Lang will refuse this family business, now this family business is already a certainty, don't say that it is impossible for him to refuse, even if he refuses, there is no way to stop it, because the whole world knows that Ouyang Shu and Hu Qing'er are together, and it is impossible for Hu Qing'er to marry someone else.
Ouyang Shu was worried about another problem, and he said with some apprehension: Just like this, there is a little grievance Qing'er! For almost all women in this era, there is only one wedding in their life, so they naturally don't want everything to be too careful. Who doesn't like to be a bride in style?
Hu Lang hurriedly stopped and said: Don't say that, nephew, this kind of thing is just a ceremony, the key is whether the relationship between the husband and wife is harmonious, and harmony is more important than anything else. I think Qing'er is very clear about this, so you don't have to worry.
Ouyang Shu nodded. Although he didn't tell Fan Hu and the second daughter about the wedding along the way, in fact, they all understood this, and this was a tacit understanding that didn't need words. Since along the way, none of them showed dissatisfaction with the rush of time, and naturally there will be no such emotions at this moment, and they are not unreasonable people.
Thinking of this, Ouyang Shu hurriedly said: Since my uncle said this, that's great, I'll go home tomorrow to discuss with my father, and let him come forward to handle this matter as soon as possible, what do you think, Uncle Hu?
Hu Lang nodded absentmindedly, was silent for a while, and then said in a hurry: "Virtuous nephew! There is a sentence that I want to say, but I don't know where to start!
Ouyang Shu was stunned and said: Uncle has always been a cool person, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly, there are only two of us here, you can get out of your mouth and into my ears, what can you say?
Hu Lang suddenly slapped his thigh and said: Since the virtuous nephew said this, if I repay the deadline, it will be hypocritical! I want to ask Miss Fan
Ouyang Shu suddenly understood, what Hu Lang was going to say was actually a question of reputation. He realized that Fan Xiaolu's background was not simple, and he was worried that his daughter would have no status after she arrived in the Li family, and even became an ordinary concubine.
In fact, his worries are not uncommon in this world today. Although their Hu family is also considered to have some wealth, but it is not a wealthy family, and it is a businessman, since the current official family succeeded to the throne, the queen mother has lowered the curtain to listen to the government, the status of the merchant has a tendency to decrease.
Moreover, Hu Qinger herself has two more important flaws, one is that she is too old, and many twenty-three-year-old women in this era are already mothers of several children. Female juniors, hugging gold bricks is only suitable for juvenile couples, Ouyang Shu and Hu Qinger are indeed not juvenile couples in this era.
Another flaw is even more serious. is that Hu Qinger once had a record of privately teaching and receiving from other men, and even signed a marriage contract with this man for this reason. What's even worse is that the marriage contract was later dissolved by this man's family.
This kind of thing is nothing in Ouyang Shu's opinion, a thousand years later, in the 21st century, many girls regard marriage as a trip, and they leave and find someone to marry if they are slightly dissatisfied with their marriage. But in this era, divorce is an extremely serious matter, and the impact on a girl's reputation is extremely significant.
With these two defects, as long as Hu Qinger marries a slightly powerful person, it is difficult for him to sit in the position of a wife. Unless, she is really willing to find an ordinary Tian Shelang as a companion.
On the other hand, Ouyang Shu, who is now a science explorer, has been entrusted with an important position, and his future is bright.
Judging from the history of the Great Song Dynasty, the vast majority of the officials who were born in the top three Jinshi of Dafan were the governors at the state level, or the two chiefs of the ministries and temples in the central government. Ouyang Shu's starting point is something that has not been seen by Xinke Jinshi since the Great Song Dynasty, at least from the current point of view, the future is much better than that of ordinary Tanhualang. Even if it is the final head of each ministry, it is not impossible to even take the position of ruler.
In this case, Hu Qing'er wants to become Ouyang Shu's wife, and Hu Lang is not very extravagant. However, although there is no luxury, there is expectation. This constitutes the contradiction in Hu Lang's heart.
He asked Fan Xiaolu now, of course, he didn't ask for the sake of asking, he actually wanted to inquire about Ouyang Shu's name to Hu Qing'er from the side by inquiring about Fan Xiaolu's identity. Because he also saw that the relationship between Fan Xiaolu and Ouyang Shu was actually exactly the same as the relationship between his daughter and Ouyang Shu.
