Chapter 169: Grievance

At a small food stall on the side of the street in the second small sweet water lane, Ouyang Qian was a little depressed, she drank the bean juice, and suddenly her eyes turned red, and tears fell.

Fan looked at her quietly, full of sympathy for her in her heart, and could see that she was not happy about her marriage.

At first, she liked Zeng Bu, but because of her father's death, Zeng Bu went home to keep filial piety, and at the same time studied hard to prepare for the future imperial examination.

The two have been separated for three years, but they don't know if this relationship is still there?

At this time, Ouyang Qian wiped away her tears and whispered to Fan Ning: "The Tai student just now is called Wu Jun, and his father is Wu Weishan, a scholar of Fuwen Pavilion, this Wu Jun is half of my father's disciple, and he often comes to the house to ask his father for teaching.

A month ago, my father happened to be out of town, and he came to my house, saying that he was waiting for my father to come back, but he took advantage of the maid's absence, and talked nonsense to me, and knelt down to express his heart to me. ”

"Did you tell your father about this?"

"I told my father, my father just smiled and said that Wu Jun was young and affectionate, which was understandable, and then he ignored it, A-Ning, I feel that my father is clearly conniving at this Wu Jun!"

Fan Ning was silent in thought, he felt that Ouyang Xiu might not be conniving at Wu Jun, it should be something inappropriate, maybe he still had a good impression of this Wu Jun, so he ignored his daughter's feelings.

"What about your mother?"

Ouyang Qian's eyes turned red again, and she choked up: "If my mother is still here, she will definitely make the decision for me!" ”

It turned out that Ouyang Qian was born to Ouyang Qian's ex-wife, and Fan Ning couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

After a long silence, Fanning asked again, "Is there any news from Zeng Bu?" ”

Ouyang Qian shook her head and whispered, "Since he returned to his hometown, I have written him many letters, but he has not replied to any of them. ”

Fan Ning understood, Ouyang Qian was very dedicated, and she had never forgotten Zeng Bu, Fan Ning couldn't help but feel a little regretful in her heart, it seemed that she was really just a little brother in her heart.

Fan Ning smiled and comforted her: "Zeng Bu should still be in the Ding worry period, and he doesn't dare to think about it." ”

Ouyang Qian shook her head, "His Ding Worry period ended last year, and he and his brother went to Beijing twice to visit his father in February and May this year, but he always avoided me. ”

Speaking of this, Ouyang Qian bit her lip and said to Fan Ning with resentment: "I later learned that my father did not agree with the matter between me and Zeng Bu, and he left me aside for the sake of the future. ”

"It won't be so ruthless and unjust!"

Fan Ning thought for a while and said: "Maybe he asked your father to change his mind after waiting for the Jinshi to be admitted, at least he didn't write a letter to draw a line with you, you wrote to him, he accepted it silently, I think he still has affection for you." ”

"It's his so-called affection that makes me uncomfortable, he made it clear to me, and then ask my father for marriage after preparing for the title of the gold list, then I am willing to wait, but he avoids everywhere, and he doesn't even have the courage to see me, a manly man, why don't you dare to take responsibility, but you are so cowardly, how can I entrust my life to him?"

"Do you want me to go and talk to him?"

"Don't!"

Ouyang Qian said decisively: "I don't have the courage to let others say, I don't look down on such a man!" ”

Fanning didn't say anything more, just nodded silently.

After lunch, Fan Ning sent Ouyang Qian home.

The two of them rode in an ox cart and slowly drove towards Ouyang Mansion.

Ouyang Qian looked at the scenery outside the street sadly, and she suddenly felt extremely weak in her heart.

"Aning, what should I do?"

Fan Ning was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "I sincerely wish that Sister Qian can find a wishful husband, but the world is unpredictable, if one day Sister Qian feels that she has no way out, then come to me, I will protect Sister Qian, by my side, no one can hurt Sister Qian." ”

Fan Ning's tone was low but firm, like a warm current pouring into Ouyang Qian's heart, her heart was deeply touched, and the young man around her gave her an indescribable sense of security, she gently pillowed her head on Fan Ning's shoulder, and couldn't help but sigh lowly.

"Aning ....."

......

Sending Ouyang Qian home, Fan Ning returned to his residence in an ox cart.

Along the way, Fan Ning was sighing for what happened to Ouyang Qian.

Ouyang Qian may be a microcosm of the upper-class woman of the Song Dynasty, her biological mother has died, and her current mother is a stepmother, although she treats her well, but she is not her biological daughter after all.

Ouyang Qian's emotions are not valued by her father, and she wants to pursue her love, but there is always an invisible wall in front of her, making her helpless and insurmountable.

Sometimes when you rush out bravely, the love you harvest is often not sweet, but full of bitterness.

Fan Ning showed a smile on his face, hoping that his promise could bring a little comfort to Ouyang Qian's helpless heart!

The ox cart stopped in front of the alley, and Fanning got out of the cart, took out a handful of money for the coachman, and walked briskly to his lodgings.

As soon as he entered the door, Su Liang greeted him and said with a smile: "A-Ning, do you know who has come to you again?" ”

Fanning was stunned, his mind moved, and then he reacted.

"Is it Jupe?"

Su Liang nodded, "Guess right, Juppe came to you at noon!" ”

"I see!" Fanning walked briskly back to his room.

"Hey! Feed! ”

Su Liang hurriedly stopped him, "Did you kid hear clearly, it was Ju Pei who came to look for you, but you went out shopping with another little lady, did you consider Zhu Pei's feelings?" ”

Fan Ning tilted his head and looked at Su Liang, "I want to ask what you're thinking?" I have a problem going out with my girl? Do you know who she is? What is the relationship with me? ”

A series of rhetorical questions made Su Liang stammer, and he said stupidly: "You guy with no conscience, I would not cover it up for you if I knew it." ”

Fanning laughed, "It seems that I am wrong to blame you, how can you cover it up for me?" ”

"I said you went out early in the morning to visit friends in the capital, and I don't know who to visit, so you can decide for yourself! Zhu Pei came to you with great interest, but she was empty, and she went back unhappy. ”

Fan Ning was a little helpless in his heart, there was nothing to do, but Su Liang wanted to cover it up for himself, wouldn't it be darker and darker, but he was still very grateful for Su Liang's kindness.

"Alright! Thank you for covering it up for me. ”

Fan Ning turned around to leave, but Su Liang hurriedly said, "Wait a minute!" ”

Fanning stopped and looked back at him helplessly, "Are you finished?" ”

"One last thing!"

Su Liang salivated and smiled: "Who is the little lady who went out with you today?" Isn't it your ......"

"Don't think about it! She is Ouyang Xiu's daughter and my sister-in-law. ”

Su Liang was startled, his eyes widened, "Do you know Ouyang Xiu?" ”

Fanning nodded, "Three years ago, my grandfather took me to Beijing and met him, and I went to visit him two days ago. ”

Su Liang's eyes were full of envy, Ouyang Xiu was the idol of the world's scholars, and he was also the person Su Liang admired the most, Fan Ning was actually very familiar with him.

Su Liang's heart was hot, and he hurriedly grabbed Fan Ning, and said with a hippie smile: "Senior brother, I will invite you to a big dinner tonight, and I will also invite you tomorrow, that ..... Next time you visit Ouyang seniors, take me with you too! ”

"He's not three-headed and six-armed, what's there to see?"

Fanning smiled and nodded, "Okay! Next time I'll take you with me, and I'll treat me to a big dinner today and tomorrow. ”

"No problem!"

Su Liang jumped up with joy, "What do you want to eat, just ask!" ”

.......

Zhu Pei blinked his eyes and asked in surprise, "You mean, he actually went out with a fourteen or fifteen-year-old lady in the morning?" ”

Xu Qing nodded, "Fan Ning accompanied that little lady to Li Baitai shoe and hat shop to buy a hat, it seemed that there was a conflict with a group of students, and in the end there was no fight, and then Fan Ning accompanied that little lady home." ”

It was impossible for Xu Qing to hide the little master, but he didn't want to add to the turmoil, so he briefly told Fan Ning about his trip.

Zhu Pei was really uncomfortable in his heart, and he did everything possible to think about him and help him out of danger, he was good, and he went out shopping with other girls the day after he moved.

Did he consider his feelings?

Zhu Pei's face was gloomy, but she didn't get angry rashly, she knew Fan Ning too well, and her anger would only make Fan Ning more disgusted with herself, she had to figure out, who was that little lady?

"That little lady is fourteen or fifteen years old?"

"It should be, Fanning calls her Sister Qian!"

At this time, Zhu Pei suddenly thought of someone and hurriedly asked, "Is that little lady's surname Ouyang?" ”

"This subordinate doesn't know, Fanning has always called her Sister Qian, not her last name."

Zhu Pei nodded, nine times out of ten it was Ouyang Qian, in the capital, Fan Ning didn't seem to know anyone other than Ouyang Qian.

Zhu Pei felt a little more comfortable in her heart, she knew that Ouyang Qian was at least three years older than Fan Ning, and when Fan Ning married a wife and started a family, Ouyang Qian should have married a long time ago.

It's just that this bastard didn't take the initiative to come to thank him, but accompanied other girls to go shopping, which really made Zhu Pei angry.
