The next day, it was Ouyang's biological mother Liu who went to visit, so it was okay to go or not, after all, she was remarried, and she was not registered in the court. This time, I brought Liang Hongyu with me. Although the county reminded him in advance, the Liu family really didn't expect Ouyang to come. Although I was prepared, I was also in a hurry. Fortunately, Ouyang's eleven-year-old half-sister can also help, buy snacks, boil water to make tea. In addition to this daughter, the Liu family also has an eight-year-old son. Liu's husband is now one of the few langzhong in the county, and it can be seen that although the family life is not rich, it can be regarded as well-off. However, the husband has sent his son to school in Hangzhou in the past few days, and he is not at home.

Liang Hongyu put the bracelet on Sister Ouyang's hand and asked, "What's it called?" ”

"Wang Baofu."

Ouyang is cold, and this name is too indiscriminate. However, as a representative of the contemporary 'koumi-koumi' literati, the name of Song Huizong's daughter is also indiscriminate. What Zhao Jinnu, Zhao Jinluo, Zhao Fujin. Ouyang asked, "Did you go to school?" ”

Liu said: "What kind of school does the girl go to?" I can't manage this alone, and she can help a little at home. I'm not illiterate, I'm not doing well. ”

"That's not what I said. You see Hangzhou, Yangzhou and Hongzhou, as well as the area near Yangping, it is not easy to marry if you are illiterate. You said that your sister will find a good family in the future, and it is not easy to find a good family if you are illiterate. ”

Liang Hongyu said: "Yes, mother-in-law, now if there is something in the field, the notice will be written at the door of the field, I remember such a thing." It was said that the owner of the farm told everyone to go and get the festival money. But as a result, the literate people all went to get money, and the illiterate ones had nothing. Mother-in-law, you see, which one of these is a foreman who can't read? The people above are all written down to show the foreman, and there are hundreds of foremen in a field, so you can't notify them one by one. ”

Wang Baofu said very sensibly: "Dad said that the good school is expensive, and my younger brother will also take the champion Guangzong to show off his ancestors in the future, but sooner or later I will marry out and lose money." "Brother Ouyang went to school in Hangzhou, and the tuition fee is really not ordinary. But Mr. is even more unusual, it is a special old Hanlin.

"Really sensible." Ouyang touched Wang Baofu's head, took out a piece of white paper from the package, and then took out a piece of ink. Pressed Wang Baofu's handprint on it and said, "My sister is also a rich man now,"

Liu asked suspiciously: "What money?" ”

"I plan to transfer the tea picking shares in Xincheng to my sister's name, and I asked people to make a contract and send it to the major shareholder of the tea picking factory." Ouyang said: "There are about 10,000 dividends every year. The contract is a dead deed and cannot be transferred again. Be obedient and obedient. If you are for your brother's good, you can't let your brother spend this money. Also remember, don't marry someone before the age of eighteen. ”

"Is this appropriate?" Liu Shi hurriedly asked, but she knew what Wan Guan was

"What's out of place." Ouyang said: "Girls have to have a few dollars. But if you listen to me, you can't let my brother spend this money. Otherwise, you will be a loser in the future. On three sides is the younger brother, on the other side is the younger sister, although the palms and backs of the hands are full of meat, but it can be seen that the younger brother has been well taken care of, and I heard that he has hired a special person to live in Hangzhou. And my sister is still walking barefoot on the ground in this weather, and several clothes are old clothes that have been changed from small ones, so of course I, as an older brother, must be fair. That's it. ”

Liang Hongyu said on the side: "Official, do you think Baofu dares not to hand over the money to the family?" If this money is handed over to the family, can the little uncle still be good? ”

"......" Ouyang was right to think about it, and said to the Liu family: "In this way, I will hand over this contract to my brother, and if you have any difficulties, just look for him." It's a blessing for me to take with me.

What do you think? ”

"Okay!" Liu agreed.

Ouyang sighed, and agreed without discussion, so you can know Wang Baofu's status in this family. In fact, this is already very common. This is still the case not only at this time, but also in the countryside at the end of the 9o. A girl has to get up at five or six o'clock in the morning to cook, and if she can't afford it, she will be scolded for being lazy. For boys, their mothers help them get dressed, and their fathers carry them to school. I remember a survey in 2oooo that showed that the educational attainment of men in rural areas was two grades higher than that of females. The first reason why women are discriminated against is labor, and the second reason is 'marry, word.' Women's physical strength is not as good as men's, and with small feet, there is basically no ability to work. And the daughter who marries out is like water spilled out, and now she is raising someone else's daughter-in-law, and her son is old-fashioned. There is no way to do other people's business, after all, this is a concept. But her sister can't watch her be wronged. Since it is not appropriate to stay here, take it away. Yangping's patriarchal atmosphere in the Great Song Dynasty is still relatively light. Either the preference for sons over women is directly proportional to the success of the economy. In the poorer the place, the higher the bride price for a girl to marry, which is called buying a wife. One-time buyout. Wealthy families, on the other hand, are concerned about whether the girl will live well in her in-law's house in the future and whether she will be wronged. Not to mention the dowry, maybe my uncle will be generous when he needs to buy a house.

And the punishment for adultery in ancient times shows that the patriarchal preference is even more important, and the women have to be immersed in the pig cage, but the men are only a little troublesome. It would be unfair to put all the blame for the mistakes on the woman's head. Even if Zhao Yu became the emperor, the status of women did not improve much. But at this time, women are also happy, after this Zhu Xi came out, the only remaining status of women was also stripped away. Ouyang thought of this person again, and he had plans to destroy his nine clans, as long as he dared to show his name before he hung up.

The Liu family wanted to stay for dinner, but Ouyang was not in a very good mood when he saw Wang Baofu's treatment at home, and he didn't give the Liu family face, so he said hello, and after a while, he returned to Yangping to bring Wang Baofu and left. What really made Ouyang angry was not Wang Baofu's family status, but that even the Liu family, as a woman, had a very serious patriarchal plot, which he couldn't understand. What kind of woman sympathizes with a woman is simply nonsense.

The county was delayed for a few more days, and Ouyang looked at several tea picking farms. Yangping's production is different, with a large area and standardized management. There is isolation between each acre to avoid insect pest infection. There is also a boutique area, which is managed by a special person and sells at a large price. According to the agreement, the tea leaves here can be sent to Yangzhou for reprocessing after rough processing, or the raw tea can be sold to the Southeast Chamber of Commerce for processing. Ouyang felt that no field now had the ability to produce and process and sell one-stop, and the technical management could not keep up, and he also agreed with such a franchise method. However, it is required that there should be competition in the wholesale to avoid the price reduction caused by monopoly.

Back to Oujiazhuang, it will be solemn. The uncle asked for the ancestral plaque to let Ouyang kneel before entering the village. The entrance of the village is the Great Gong Pavilion, obviously there is no slightest deduction, and thousands of dollars to build the pavilion very generously. Stones, wood, and carvings are all of the highest quality.

After entering the village, the first thing I did was to go to the ancestral hall to offer incense, and my uncle sang the praises of the ancestors who had spirits or something, and said that Benzhuang was a famous general of the Great Song Dynasty, and said that Ouyang was not ashamed. Speaking of excitement, sighing.

After playing Ouyang like this for a whole day, he finally got to the point. Ouyang visited his aunt first, it was not as bad as he imagined, and he could still walk with support, and he heard that Zhao Yu sent the medicine from the imperial doctor, and he only looked pale after taking it.

Ouyang immediately instructed someone to find a few retired imperial doctors to see a doctor after he went back.

Then there is the matter of Liang Hongyu, the uncle has heard his son say it a long time ago, and he is still not satisfied in his heart. He felt that Ouyang had a bright future, he was the champion, he had great achievements in the court, and he was another talent, so he had to marry a high-ranking official. And Liang Hongyu has stayed in Leying, and she is a concubine, so he is unwilling to become a regular. However, although his uncle was strict with Ouyang when he was a child, he was also very fond of him, and Ouyang was so old and well-informed. Uncle also knew that it was impossible to be the master for Ouyang. Or say that the wings are stiff. In the end, seeing that Liang Hongyu had performed really well in the past few days, she reluctantly agreed, and she was considered a general, and she also saved Jueyang.

Originally, it was to be a matchmaker, and Liang Hongyu's mother was also invited to be present. But...... Just like the high school entrance examination for undergraduate and post-secondary education, there is still a certain difference. However, there is still a matchmaker, there is a name that the media is taking, and then worshiped the ancestors in the ancestral hall, Liang Hongyu went on the family tree, and became the wife of the Ou family, of course, this genealogy is not written Liang Hongyu, but written Liang. Ouyang still has to report the case to the Ministry of Officials, and it still writes the Liang family in the xx place.

After everything was settled, his uncle talked to Ouyang, and the main topic was also worried that Ouyang was too capable, and the example he gave was Song Taizu's cup of wine to release military power. Uncle said: "The ancestral training is cloudy, and the Ou family is not allowed to take charge of the army." Although you are a civilian in the military supervision this time, you have a lot of responsibilities. Song Lai was very good to officials, as long as he did not take charge of the army, he would generally not be killed. Once a son of heaven and a courtier, the loyal monarch not only loves the monarch, but also loves himself. As long as you are loyal to the king, even if there is a big mistake, you can get away with it. Do you understand? ”

"Nephew understands."

"It's good to understand. Before his death, our ancestors said: The Song Dynasty is the world of the Zhao family, not the Li family or the Wang family. In the past 100 years, the Zhao family has had kings everywhere. What the current emperor did a few years ago, why is there no obstruction? It's not because of Hua Shigang, it's not because the emperor has no way, but because her surname is Zhao. The uncle said, "I know what you are doing, but you are wrong." Loyalty to Zhao is equivalent to loyalty to the country. Loyalty to the country is not necessarily loyalty to Zhao. ”

"That's what Uncle taught." Ouyang smiled bitterly, how could he be taken a political lesson all the way.

"Don't disagree, according to me, the next unlucky person in this court is not you, nor Cai Jing, nor is it a general who has worked hard, but Tong Guan. With a different surname, he is the king of the former monarch, holding heavy troops and holding military supplies, and he is not from Enke, and he has many enemies in the court. He may not have dared to move before, but now that the emperor has achieved new martial arts, it is the time when he is full of spirit, so he naturally wants to take the military power into his own hands. There is also Qin Fenglu, the division of tigers and wolves, if Tong Guan is smart, he should resign immediately.
