But said that Ouyang Xu was reading a book in the academy, and suddenly learned the news, hurriedly dropped the book, rode a horse towards the port, and then asked around again, only to find the past, but helplessly forbidden army guarded layer by layer, can only see the Fan family servants and maids, old and young to the boat, but not close, less than again and again to tell the central government, seeing that the guards are not accommodating, so they are determined to break through.

Just when he was decided, he suddenly heard someone behind him shouting his name, and looked back, it seemed that he was wearing a new color official uniform, with a dignified appearance, and extraordinary insight, and he didn't feel very familiar, and when he was hesitating, the person told himself, it was Wen Yanbo yes, Ouyang Xu was not familiar with him, just nodded his head, and was puzzled.

Wen Yanbo smiled first: "I know what is on your mind, and if you come with me, you will definitely be able to do what you want." ”

Ouyang Xu couldn't help but follow him, and even Cangsi, all the way inside, to a room, Wen Yanbo first asked in a low voice: "Let me ask you first, there are people on the ship to supervise, if you accidentally show traces, I'm afraid you will be implicated, are you afraid." ”

Ouyang Xu hurriedly said: "Brother Wen, you are not asking in vain, if you are afraid of being implicated, what am I going to do here!" ”

Wen Yanbo then smiled, took a set of laborer's clothes and handed it to Ouyang Xu, and said: "I've already taken care of it, you just mix it in the Lifu pile, get on the boat at that time, and say what is important, if you hear the sound of gold, don't delay, get off the boat immediately." ”

Ouyang Xu hurriedly thanked him, took his clothes again, and hurriedly changed them.

Wen Yanbo took out a bag of silver from the box on the side of the case, and said: "The incident happened in a hurry, and it was too late to prepare the money, so you should take this bag of silver to her first, and tell her to hide it carefully, don't ask the people in Ouchi to search it." At the moment, don't prevaricate, they are going to endure hardships, although there are not many here, it is better than nothing. ”

Ouyang Xu's eyes were full of gratitude, and he said in a loud voice: "You and I are not relatives, you help each other like this, it really makes me ashamed and ashamed, I remember your great kindness, and I will try my best to repay it in the future." ”

Wen Yanbo said with a smile: "Go quickly, if you have something to say, it's only serious to get on the boat first." ”

Ouyang Xu hurriedly took the silver and hid it in his arms, Wen Yanbo saw that he was ready, so Jiang Xiaoliu took him and mixed into the force, Ouyang Xu carried a box, and was afraid of being recognized, so he lowered his head and followed Jiang Xiaoliu forward, all the way through the customs inspection was unimpeded, and even got on the boat, Jiang Xiaoliu inquired about the location of the female dependent, bought a little girl, and deceived Wan Niang to an unmanned cabin, Wan Niang was in shock, saw Ouyang Xu and burst into tears, Jiang Xiaoliu hurriedly withdrew from the cabin to guard.

Ouyang Xu leaned over and over again, and then took out the silver and told Wan Niang to hide it, Wan Niang held the silver, and became more and more uncontrollable, whimpering and crying speechless. Ouyang Xu hurriedly said: "I stole on the boat to say goodbye to you, it is already very dangerous, if you cry again, you can still say a few words, if someone finds out, everyone will suffer." ”

Wan Niang gradually stopped, Ouyang Xu saw that she was so thin that she was almost out of shape, her little face was sallow, she was frightened again, she trembled all over, she was in pain and ashamed, and only said: "It's all my incompetence, if I pass this year, I'm afraid this son will be married, and you can avoid this disaster." ”

Wan Niang sobbed and said, "Isn't it bothering enough to be bothered by this, and I still say this at this time." After another pause, he said: "Again, if something happens at home, if I avoid it alone, it will be uneasy, and now I can experience it in one place, and God will have mercy on me." I'm just glad that you are not the unsympathetic person, and when you see me in trouble, you are afraid to avoid it. ”

Ouyang Xu hurriedly said: "You just have to rest assured, I will definitely fight hard and study hard." If you have a problem, don't just carry it yourself, just tell me, and I will do my best to help. ”

After Wan Niang heard this, her eyes became more and more red, and she said, "It's just a pity...... Yesterday my father persuaded my mother, I was full of joy, and I planned to go to see Yizhi in the afternoon, under the pretext of looking at you, who knows......" I was speechless for a while.

Ouyang Xu had to be considerate again, and the pair of hard-working mandarin ducks became more and more inseparable, just as they were tender, Jiang Xiaoliu reminded outside the cabin: "Brother, it's time to go." ”

When Wan Niang heard this, she wanted to cry again, even if Ouyang Xu was very reluctant, she had to leave, thinking crankily all the way. Even got off the boat and returned to Cangji to change his clothes, still haunted by his dreams, his eyes were stunned, and when Wen Yanbo entered the house again, he hurriedly got up and solemnly thanked him with his hand.

Wen Yanbo took advantage of the lack of courtesy, hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and said with a smile: "Brother Ouyang, don't torture me, the fortune teller said, I was born blessed, and I need to do more good deeds to keep my wealth today, besides, in the future, I am afraid that there is still something to ask for you, there is a way for a gentleman to repay his kindness, ten years is not too late, why rush for a while." ”

Ouyang Xu couldn't help laughing, and the sorrow in his heart was relieved a little, and said: "Brother Wen's great kindness, Ouyang Zi should try his best to repay it." Wen Yanbo said with a smile: "Your burden is getting heavier and heavier now, and you must pay attention to the combination of work and rest, so you don't have to go crazy." ”

Ouyang Xu shook his head and sighed, and said: "Although the burden is heavy, I feel hopeful, compared to the days ago, I poured yellow soup all day long to relieve my sorrows, and almost wanted to die." ”

Wen Yanbo said: "I heard my sister mention that when it comes to selling words, I really don't think there's anything wrong with it, and after reading it, I feel that Brother Ouyang is brilliant, and his words are gorgeous and vulgar, which is not comparable to ordinary people." ”

Ouyang Xu listened, and said, "So far, you are the first person who agrees with me. ”

Wen Yanbo said: "I'm not afraid of Brother Ouyang's jokes, although my father is a literati, but my grandfather's family has been in business for generations, and I grew up in my grandfather's family. ”

Ouyang Xu listened to it in his heart, and he was very impressed, and said: "Brother Wen's words are like an enlightenment!" Now Wanniang is in difficulty, I am worried that I can't make up for it, and I don't know how to repay the money I owe you, but I didn't expect that there would be such a plan. ”

Wen Yanbo said with a smile: "Since I have done Brother Ouyang a great favor, you also have to help me." ”

Ouyang Xu sneered and said, "Brother Wen is polite, you are only afraid that you don't have any capable people, so why do you need me to help you." Brother Wen only said that he might as well do his best in the next place! ”

Wen Yanbo said: "You and I signed a contract, for a period of one year, your words, I will declare the boss in the name of Beishanzi Chaweng, others must not copy, others need to pay me taxes if they want to sing, as for the number, and do what you can, tentatively, three articles per month, one and two money The pen fee is good?" ”

Ouyang Xu was boiling in an instant, and hurriedly said: "Brother Wen, where is it worth so much." ”

Wen Yanbo said with a smile: "Let's try for a year, if your words can be sung, the contract can be changed to a revenue share for all words." As he spoke, he paused again and said, "Why do I limit three articles, but I am also afraid of delaying your studies, you must not forget your roots, otherwise I will not be able to explain to her." ”

Ouyang Xu was puzzled, and simply asked: "Brother Wen, don't blame me for being suspicious, speaking of which, I can't help but think about it, you were a friend of Brother Zimei, through the sister of Yizhi, we have only met a few times, and there is no friendship in Su Ri, you are so dedicated to helping you today, I already feel very strange, this time Zi mentioned to explain again, is it difficult to ......."

Wen Yanbo only smiled and said nothing, Ouyang Xu came over, nodded with a smile, and said, "I see, I understand." After pondering for a long time, he said, "It's just that the master likes Brother Liangbi very much, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to fulfill your wish." Wen Yanbo smiled: "That's not necessarily, if you know what happened in the court today, you will only think that I am more sure." ”

But it was said that the mother and daughter of Yizhi were restless, and they didn't hear the news of Yan Shu's return until Shenshi, so they were busy standing up and going to the front yard to greet them. ”

When Su Shi heard this, he didn't feel even more flustered, and said to Yizhi: "Brother Bi'er is here, I'm afraid there is anything to say, I can't go, it's okay for you to go, and go to wait outside the hospital to see if there are any orders." The two of them went their separate ways.

Remembering the panic, went to the Qingming Courtyard, before the outside of the hospital, suddenly heard a crisp sound, did not feel a panic, hurriedly ran into the hospital, might as well, and the angry Fu Liangbi rushed out of the collision with a full arms, about to fall down, and was supported by Fu Liangbi, staggering on his feet before standing firm, was about to ask, Fu Liangbi suddenly said: "Remember, no matter what, you and I friendship remains the same, but if you have difficulties, just come to me, I will definitely go to the soup." Without waiting for her to speak, he brushed his sleeves away.

When I heard this, I felt even more flustered, and hurriedly hurried to the study, only to see Yan Yan blushing with his head and face, sitting on a high chair, hanging his head and gasping, when he heard someone enter the house, grabbed the pen on the desk and threw it over, and said: "Bastard, that one let you in!" ”

The ceramic pen was thrown at Yizhi's feet, fell to the ground and shattered, and another piece flew up, splashing on Yizhi's face. Yan Shu heard the voice, raised his head, and saw that it was Yizhi, but he was not discouraged, and said, "Why are you, but you can't smash it." ”

Remembering the top of the road: "It was broken at the foot, but fortunately it was not smashed." ”

Yan Shu listened, silent, and saw that he didn't speak, and he didn't dare to speak for a while, just stood in front of him, cramped and uneasy. After being bored for a long time, Yan Shu said: "What do you know about today's events?" "Remembering the day, I told the whole story of the day.

Yan Shu came out for a long time, and said: "Speaking of which, Queen Guo ......" paused, changed her name again, and said: "Then Guo's arrogance and jealousy are not a day or two, in the past, it was okay to rely on the favor of the Queen Mother, but now that she has lost her backer, she is still so wanton." The queen is the mother of a country, and she should be deferential and solemn, quiet and elegant, but the Guo family has no demeanor. Your Majesty did not consult with the ministers, and it is inappropriate to arbitrarily abolish the post, and you officials are mighty, and they are attacking in groups, comparing Your Majesty and many famous monarchs of the Han and Tang dynasties to the kings of immorality, is it appropriate? ”

Yan shook his head angrily, and said: "I also said that this Guo family had already formed a bond with Duke Lu, and when this matter first came out, His Majesty did not look for anyone, but found Duke Lu to discuss and decide." The recitals of Shangshu were piled up on the desk of the Chengjin Division, and His Majesty simply avoided it, and Lu Gong met with the minister of Jinyan in the council hall, and his intentions were clearly revealed.

This old Fan is the middle of the imperial history, the leading general, but Brother Bi is just an eight-grade counselor, and what fun is there to make up, but let me persuade me bitterly, say, this old, small just blindly and willingly! If it weren't for me selling my old face and begging to go to Lu Gong and get back Brother Bi'er's sparse performance, there would be one of them today. He was not grateful, but scolded me for being greedy for life and afraid of death, and aiding in abuse. He also said, "If I stop one article, he will write ten more articles, and if I stop ten articles, he will write another hundred articles." Annoyed for a while, he scolded: "Stupid, stupid! In vain I have worked hard for many years! ”

Yizhi was full of persuasion, but he didn't know how to persuade him, he was speechless for a while, he stood for a long time, Yan Shu waved his hand, and said, "You can go, I want to be quiet." Yizhi had to retreat, and just when he saw Ouyang Xu coming to the courtyard, he hurriedly greeted him and asked, "What, it can be seen that Wan Niang didn't." ”

Ouyang Xu nodded and said, "Thanks to your reminder, we finally met." ”

Yizhi smiled, afraid that he would have some inappropriate thoughts, so he persuaded: "Speaking of which, my father was also let go, it is not as comfortable as in the capital, but it is also good, let's help again, it is not difficult, and after a while, the official family will be discouraged and he will come back." You don't have to be too anxious, you can read with peace of mind. ”

Ouyang Xu smiled: "You don't have to worry about me, I know what to do." ”

Seeing that his mood was rare and stable, he was puzzled and uneasy, and in the next few days, he always came to visit in the name of sending fruit snacks, and saw that Ouyang Xu really returned to normalcy and studied hard, so he gradually put his mind at ease, and for a while he thought about Fu Liangbi, and asked a few times, but there was always a reason to refuse, so he took advantage of his rest and took a carriage to his house.

When the line was approaching, I suddenly heard Li Ping say: "Girl, a little further is Longjin Bridge, I heard that there is a vendor's fried white sausage on the bridge that is very delicious, why don't we go and eat it first, and then come to Brother Bi." ”

Yi Zhi estimated that he was about to reach the door of the rich house, and he didn't feel a little puzzled, Li Ping was not a talkative person, so why did he say this, so he lifted the side window soft curtain and looked forward, only to see a pair of beautiful people standing under the willow tree in front of the rich house, looking at the figure is very familiar, so he ordered the stop, and got off the car, and sure enough, he saw that the man was Fu Liangbi, and the woman was the courtesan Su Yiyi who had seen in the Beishanzi Tea House, the two were talking and laughing, Su Yiyi saw Yizhi, and Fu Liangbi said a few more words, and then said Wanfu turned around with the maid.

Fu Liangbi turned around, Yi Zhicai stepped forward, the two met the courtesy, Fu Liangbi smiled and asked, "Why are you here?" ”

Yizhi said with a smile: "The rich officials are busy with noble affairs, and they are always unavailable, and they can only come while you are resting." ”

Fu Liangbi knew that Yizhi must come to persuade peace, so he was silent for a moment and said: "If it is to persuade me to calm things and protect my life, please don't say more about my sister, please go back." ”

Yizhi had to tease: "I just came, you are going to drive me away, I remember the people who love me, many people want to see me can't see me." ”

Fu Liangbi couldn't help laughing again, shaking his head again, remembering that it was useless to say more, so he said: "This place is very close to the Wen family's tea shop, and I don't think about his family's three crispy soups for a day or two, why don't you go with my brother to eat with me?" ”

Fu Liangbi looked at the memory for a long time, and said: "Remember, freezing three feet is not a day's cold, there has been a disagreement between me and the master for a long time, even so, I am still grateful in my heart for the master's kindness, if the Yan family needs me, I should be broken and do my best." But as for whether it will be good or bad in the future, I will take it by myself, and I don't have to worry about it anymore. ”

Yizhi frowned and said: "What do you mean by this, if you want to be separated from us, Brother Liangbi, why is this so?" Fu Liangbi just frowned and said nothing.

Yizhi didn't feel a hot breath rushing to his head from behind his ears, and said: "I thought you were light, but I didn't expect you to be even more confused than the third brother, just blindly disregarding your life, righteous and awe-inspiring, thinking that you are forged with copper, gold and iron bones, and you have nine lives that can't be achieved, that's it, I don't know how to clean yourself, I ask you, you haven't married a wife yet, but you are so close to a courtesan, and marrying in the future will add obstacles, do you still know it!" ”

Fu Liangbi's face sank a little, and he said: "I thought that you were noble and simple, but I didn't want to look at you wrongly, you relied on your good background, indiscriminately, and slandered without knowing the beginning and the end, it can be seen that you are a person with no one in your eyes, and I don't know what you are capable of." She was also the daughter of a decent family, but she flew into trouble and fell into the dust, don't say that I have nothing with her, even if I have anything with her, it is not worth your wealthy lady to surrender her identity to slander! ”

Yizhi's eyes turned red unconsciously, and he sneered: "Good, good, good, another poor person, I don't know how many poor people there are in the world." I just say a word of justice, and for whom, you have a bright future, but the foundation is shallow, if there is no father-in-law's family to help, the career is long and obstructive, don't you know? It can be seen that now that he is capable, and if he has a disagreement with his father, he will give up his own door, I think about you, and you don't appreciate it, and you want to speak ill of me. ”

Fu Liangbi was annoyed, his face was red, and he said angrily: "You also said that it was good for me, and he also said that it was good for me, relying on the favor I received from your family, and all the conditions had to be interfered with, I lived so big, don't you even know what to do?" People live for a lifetime, and half of the Lord can't do it, so what's the point, if I'm incompetent, whoever says it, I can only admit it. I still have some knowledge and ability, if you want an obedient puppet, give up me as soon as possible, and find another one! ”

After hearing this, he remembered what he said when he quarreled with Ouyang Xu a few days ago, and it became more and more like a thousand arrows in his heart, and he only felt that he was digging out his heart and lungs to imagine for others, and he was even more worried than their mothers, and he didn't appreciate one or two of them, so why bother, so he simply said: "You say such things are not sorry, who interferes with you or anything, yes, yes, it turns out that we have a lot of things, with this kung fu, look at the flowers, how interesting it is to tease the birds, and what to do with this leisure in vain, you don't have to be idle, you have the ability and knowledge, You are good for yourself, with whom do you want to break off, with whom do you want to be good, and what does it have to do with me, anyway, it is not my benefit, but it is scattered! After that, a wipe of tears, he couldn't help but say, turned into the car, and ordered Li Ping to leave quickly.

Li Ping immediately drove forward, about a mile away, before slowing down, and asked Yizhi where to go, Yizhi was depressed, and said casually: "Go to the Wen family tea shop, this one doesn't accompany me, that one doesn't accompany me, I can't go by myself?" He said to Xing'er again: "If you want to eat something today, just order it, let's just eat it." ”

Xing'erben's eyes were full of worry, and when she heard this, her eyes lit up and she nodded again and again.

The carriage and horses traveled to the Wen family tea shop, recalled the car, and said to the boy who greeted the door: "I want a bright pavilion near the river." The boy responded to the call and led the memories in, but entered the pavilion, and asked for fragrant cherries, ginger plums, iced peaches, rose kumquat four dried fruits as the first dish, and ordered a few big dishes such as floating crab, yusheng, three crispy soup, sweet and sour eggplant, fried quail, and roasted duck meat. After the meal, the steamed cheese and ice mung bean soup are served.

Yizhi ordered a few more dishes for Li Ping to eat outside, then asked the kid to go down to prepare, then paced to the window, watched the boats on the Bianhe River, looked at it for a while, still felt unhappy, turned back to Xing'er and said, "You go to the same store and say, and have a small cup of plum wine." ”

Xing'er was full of gluttony, but when she heard that she still wanted to eat wine, she said, "Girl, when is it only time, why do you eat wine?" Remembering the way: "I'm panicking in my heart, I want to eat some wine to relieve myself, you can go, I must not eat much." Xing'er was considerate of Yizhi, so she went, and Rui'er was afraid that she would be alone in front of Yizhi, so she also followed.

After about half a cup of tea, Yizhi heard someone come in and asked, "But I asked you to ask for a cup of wine, and you can explain it clearly in one or two sentences, why did you go for half a day." When he turned around, he saw that the person who came was Wen Yanbo, and his heart jumped, and he asked, "Why are you, Xing'er?" ”

Wen Yanbo said with a smile: "I asked Jiang Xiaoliu to lead those two girls to play outside." ”

Yizhi wondered, "They went like this?" ”

"I didn't want to do it at first, and I struggled for a long time before I understood that I was reluctant to let you order the table of dishes, so I promised her something better, and then I was happy to go."

Yi Zhi laughed angrily and said, "This stupid girl. ”

Wen Yanbo said: "That's not likely, I see that Lu Sanlang thought of a way to make people break her up, but he couldn't." It can be seen that she has calculations in her heart. Yizhi blushed, twisted his handkerchief for a while, and couldn't speak, so he had to ask again: "Don't you have to be on duty now, why do you have time to come here?" ”

Wen Yanbo said: "It's the lunch break, it's too hot outside, I brought the first few to eat some snow drinks, and I actually ran into apricots, so I hurriedly came." ”

Yizhi was touched and said: "I've never heard anyone say that you are not, so it can be seen that you are outside, and it is really not good to put up and down without silver." As he spoke, thinking of Fu Liangbi, he felt more and more that he didn't know self-love, and he was even more depressed.

Wen Yanbo said: "Yes and no, only when the silver is made properly can it win the hearts of the people." If it is not appropriate, it will also be envied by others, but it is better not to do it, and it is a laborious thing. As he spoke, he got closer, frowning and saying, "Why do you look like you've cried again?" ”

Yi Zhiran lowered his head, and had to say: "You don't know, there are a lot of things at home recently, and I am very annoying." ”

Wen Yanbo said with a smile: "In that case, talk to me quickly, maybe I can relieve your worries." ”
