Yi Lanxuan, in the study of the West Wing where Ouyang Rong left. At a tea table.

It's full of people at the moment.

But no one opened their mouths to break the silence.

Standing in place, holding the tea table with his palms, the tea set on the table made some "gurgling" sounds from time to time, and was trembling.

Wei Mei stood beside her husband and held his arm, her face was a little stunned, as if she had also been reminded of some memories of the past.

Behind him, Su Dalang was silent.

Xie Ling Jiang stood silently and was also silent.

Su Bao'er silently walked to the door, grabbed the cuff fabric with her bare hands, raised her chin slightly, and looked at the direction of the courtyard gate where Ouyang Rong left.

Su Bao'er can quite understand her father's feelings.

At the beginning, my father had just ascended the throne of the emperor, and he respected his grandmother Wei as the queen mother, but his father's foundation was weak, and his essence was hollowed out, and all major affairs in the court depended on his mother.

So my father had no choice but to reuse Wei's relatives and try to build his own court power, but in this regard, my grandmother Wei let it go, just like Zheng Zhuanggong at the beginning, deliberately connived and induced, which finally led to the outbreak of contradictions.

At that time, the father made a series of personnel appointments, promoted the Wei family's father-in-law at the speed of light, and finally wanted to promote him to the rank of Shizhong, that is, one of the prime ministers of the political affairs hall, but was opposed by the ministers of the court.

My father is the Son of Heaven, and when the decree was blocked, he was naturally furious, and impulsively, blurted out that even if he gave the world to his father-in-law, would he still be stingy with a position in the middle of the court? ap.

Such impulsive words naturally caused an uproar in the government and the opposition, and became a fuse, and the grandmother Wei used secrets to conspire with all parties, deposed his father as the king of Xunyang, and set up the fourth son to leave the wheel as the new emperor.

After that, all the government fell into the hands of his grandmother Wei, and then later, he ascended the throne and became the emperor

·

Although more than ten years have passed since this abolition of the emperor turmoil that changed the fate of her family, it has left a great inner shadow on her father.

Su Bao'er once heard Ah Niang mention that Ah Niang often woke up suddenly in the middle of the night, frightened and dreamed, threw himself into Ah Niang's arms, and cried bitterly.

Su Bao'er didn't think Father was so cowardly and funny.

He may not have been a qualified emperor back then, but he was definitely a qualified husband and a qualified father.

Her unmasked grandmother was the opposite.

Su Bao'er turned sideways slightly, and glanced at the note that was holding in the palm of his hand.

She stepped forward and took the note from the latter's hand while Wei Mei and Su Dalang gathered to comfort and leave.

Xie Lingjiang glanced sideways at the maverick Su Bao'er.

Su Bao'er lowered her eyes quietly, and her eyes paused for a moment on the line of handwriting that belonged to Ouyang Rong. "So mother and son are the same······ Zheng Boke Duan Yu Yan······ Is there really a man in this world who is like God and who knows not yet what is the prophet?"

The little girl with bright red plum blossom makeup on her forehead whispered softly in her heart:

"Ouyang Lianghan······ He is worthy of the noble man in that proverb, and he is now... Is my noble family?

Different from the father's focus on leisure, Su Bao'er, like Ouyang Rong, also feels that the sentence "As a mother and son" is the most subtle and expressive.

By the way, there is also "Zheng Boke Duan Yuyan", this exquisite allusion.

If the subsequent development of the situation, as Ouyang Lianghan said just now, it is exactly the same as what they overheard, the Empress Wei will ease the mother and son, reactivate her family, return to Luoyang, divide the Baoli faction, and ease the contradiction between the Liwei faction······

Then, the ups and downs of her family are indeed very suitable for "Zheng Boke Duan Yuyan".

Because the Empress Wei is the same as Zheng Zhuanggong, who dominated the Spring and Autumn Period, she is impeccable in terms of imperial power. But in terms of family affairs, it is shameful for historians and descendants.

No matter how the two with outstanding achievements exaggerate and spread the young brother Uncle Duan, the son is very idle, arrogant and arrogant, and not like a human king.

No matter how much you pretend to be innocent, pretend that you have to do it as a last resort.

Neither of them could explain why they, as brothers and mothers, did not discipline and stop them in time. If it is taught

If you don't change it, then it's natural to make a move.

But if you don't teach and punish, your heart can be learned.

In the final analysis, the two still regard their younger brother and son as enemies and opponents in their hearts, and do not take into account the brotherly love and mother-son affection.

The other party's behavior of provoking the anger of the heavens and people is exactly in line with the intentions of Zhuang Gong and the Empress Wei, and if they want to capture the old people, they can get rid of the opponent in a righteous and bright way.

Brother is not brother, brother is not brother, mother is not mother, son is not son.

Nothing more.

And the word "as before" in the final sentence "As the mother and son as the beginning" is even more wonderful. According to historical records, when Mrs. Jiang gave birth to Zhuang Gong, she was frightened.

Because Zhuang Gong came out of his feet first, a typical dystocia, Mrs. Jiang named Zhuang Gong Kou Sheng, which means inverted birth, it is conceivable that he hated Zhuang Gong when he was born.

And Zhuang Gong has suffered from white eyes since he was a child, and the relationship between mother and son is naturally disgusted with each other, which is where the word "as before" is intriguing.

As for why Zhuang Gong did this extra move, he came out of Huangquan to see his mother, showing that the contradiction was eased, and he turned his head and "mother and son are the same".

For such a king, behind it is nothing more than the word "fame and fortune".

Maybe it was because of the filial piety after his death, or maybe it was based on the interests of the time, after all, royal marriages of various countries were common in the Spring and Autumn Period, and Mrs. Jiang naturally had a ····· of her mother's family in her homeland.

But just like right now, Su Bao'er overheard Ouyang Lianghan's assertion, and it was very likely that the grandmother would send someone to take them back to their family, return to Luoyang, and inherit the imperial heir.

It's just for her power and profit.

Empress Wei is very similar to Zheng Zhuang Gong thousands of years ago.

Su Bao'er's fingers repeatedly twisted the creases on the note, silent.

Father also said not long ago that his grandmother hated him since he was a child, and he loved Princess Changle and King Xiang's separation, because Xiangshi said that Father looks Taizong, and grandmother's feelings for Taizong should be very complicated······

In any case, she doesn't know about the emotionally focused father, but for the grandmother, if it is in her interests, it is not surprising that after many years of breakup, she will stage a public play of "then mother and son as before".

Su Bao'er took a deep breath, and kept speculating in her heart about the thoughts of the unmasked grandmother.

After all, the future fate of their family depends entirely on the grandmother's wishes.

And Ouyang Lianghan's words just now made her heart, which was originally a little dead and silent, rekindled her heart.

In front of the door, the little girl in plum blossom makeup who was evaluated by leisure as looking like her mother, suddenly had some curiosity: What kind of taste is it like for a woman to hold power? can make that grandmother's gray hair still hold on tightly, as if she was fascinated.

Is it that all men in the world kowtow when they meet me, or do all the qi practitioners in the world bow their eyebrows when they see me?

Su Bao'er turned her head to look out of the door, a pair of slender autumn eyes looked north in the direction of Luoyang, and at the same time, it was also the direction of Merlot Garden.

It seems that there is a chic figure of "brushing off the clothes when something happens" in her heart, and she can't help but be a little impressed in her heart:

"I don't know how he found such a strange allusion, is it really just a casual flippage?" No, it could never be such a coincidence.

"It seems that you have been seeing the fire for a long time, right, you have been chatting with me before, but you don't know anything about it.

"It seems that either you treat me as an outsider, or you treat me as a naïve girl, and you don't have enough ······."

Su Bao'er bit her teeth slightly, her eyes looked at the sky with flowing clouds, quietly slipping away under the dazzling sun overhead, and a strange thought suddenly appeared in her heart:

"What would it be like if one day, a man as good as him could fall obediently under my skirt and be obedient to me.

"Anyway, how much power must be to buy and convince him, is it enough for my grandmother...

The chest was obviously not tight, but Su Bao'er suddenly felt a little out of breath, and her cheeks were surprisingly hot.

As soon as a strange desire to win arose, it filled her chest uncontrollably.

For some reason, at this moment, I suddenly wanted to prove something to someone who loved to pretend to be confused and ignore her, and wanted to see him stunned or lowered his eyebrows······

Su Bao'er tasted power for the first time. Although it is only a distant thought.

Ouyang Rong didn't know that he had just left, and the little junior sister's study was so lively, it could hide so many people, and it also included a stunning little girl with a mind and ambition bigger than the sky.

For the latter, if you know, you probably will shake your head and smile, and say, "It's quite secondary". "Strange, what's the matter with these merits?"

Ouyang Rong returned to the Meilin courtyard with a question mark on his head.

He had just been drinking tea in the little junior sister's study, and he was completely confused by the sudden increase in merit, so he left Yilanxuan first and returned home.

Ouyang Rong didn't say goodbye to Xie Lingjiang either, mainly because he was afraid that the little junior sister would leave him to drink tea again, and the last meal was cute and coquettish, and he took out a lot of words from him.

Anyway, in the evening, Ouyang Rong still had to go to her to discuss the case, so he left without saying goodbye.

Merlot Garden, Study.;

After opening Ye Weilai and the other maids, Ouyang Rong closed the door tightly, lay on the chair, frowned and muttered:

"Could it be that these things I revealed to my little sister would affect her and the teacher in a good way, which is why I have rewarded so many merits? It's also said in the past.

"But these things haven't happened in a short period of time, how can they return a merit so quickly? Could it be that there is already some impact?

"But wasn't the little junior sister there at that time, could it be that my image in her heart was a little more powerful and powerful, so I gained merit? Little junior sister, little junior sister, how can it be the same as an experience pack."

Consciously picking up a lot of wool from the little junior sister, Ouyang Rong smiled embarrassedly, and sighed again:

"In any case, the increase in merit at least proves that what should not be said today still has some positive significance, and it is not a fool's errand."

Ouyang Rong rubbed his face, his eyes lit up slightly: "Go and see how much merit you have saved." Just do it, Ouyang Rong went to lock the door, turned around and went back, closed his eyes and sank into the heart lake. After a while, he came to the familiar cloud tower and entered the familiar space inside the tower. Bronze ancient bells, small wooden fish, white four-sided background, everything is as before.

Only the line of blue-gold font above the small wooden fish has become a little different from before-it has skyrocketed a lot:

[Merit: 20,381 Million]

"What's so much, it's more than 20,000?" Ouyang Rong lowered his head and calculated:

"Hmm, after exchanging that wrong merit last time, there were eleven thousand two hundred and eighty-eight left, but some time ago, I successfully blocked Yun Mengze's rising water, and it skyrocketed by nearly eight thousand merit at once.

"There is also a prophet who has just appeared in front of the little junior sister and has an unpredictable prophet, and he has surprisingly increased his merits by six or seven hundred.

"Coupled with some other governance measures to benefit the people in Longcheng County these days, there has been a lot of sporadic increases these days······

"A total of twenty thousand and three hundred and eighty-one, then this wave is absolutely stable, you can leave in these two days, and the good fortune of the Pure Land Palace is more than enough."

Ouyang Rong nodded with satisfaction.

"Anyway, the strange fortune that glowed pink last time was a pit······

"After redeeming this blessing, some time ago, I was pestered by that little sister of the Su family, and I could meet it wherever I went, it was really evil."

Ouyang Rong suddenly realized:

"Good fellow, good fortune glowing peach? Fate Pan Peach Blossom right, just call you Peach Blossom Luck and Fortune, but, it's useless, it's so chicken, and it wastes a lot of merit, in other words, just to arouse the interest of that little sister of the Su family, it costs so much merit? How is this calculated, or is this woman not simple?"

In the lonely merit tower, Ouyang Rong stood in front of the blue-gold font and muttered quietly for a while.

After a while, he shook his head, glanced at the Fortune Bell, which was still unmoving, and turned to leave the Meritorious Pagoda.

Ouyang Rong opened his eyes, returned to reality, got up and left the study, and went to the Longcheng County Office.

In the evening, Ouyang Rong returned to Merlot Garden, and as soon as he wiped his face, he met Su Dalang, who had been waiting for a long time, in the courtyard and invited him to Su Mansion for a banquet.

said that Uncle Su caught another big fish today, so he specially invited the neighbors to eat the fish. Ouyang Rong smiled and nodded: "Okay, okay, I know, I know that Uncle Su has caught a big fish, it's not easy······

In the courtyard, it was dark, and Ouyang Rong didn't notice the specific expression on Su Dalang's dark face. Ouyang Rong drove to Su Mansion with ease, but learned a very unexpected news on the way. "What? The little junior sister left in the afternoon, where did she go? Why don't you say hello to me when you go out?" Ouyang Rong frowned, he was going to come over in the evening to find someone, but now the little junior sister suddenly went out, which caught him off guard.

Su Dalang explained, "Lianghan, Miss Xie said that she wanted to go to Jiangzhou City, and then go to Longhu Mountain to do some errands."

"Dragon Tiger Mountain?" Ouyang Rong stopped and said puzzledly, "What are you doing in Longhu Mountain?" "I don't know." Su Dalang shook his head and glanced at Ouyang Rong again.

Ouyang Rong wanted to speak and stopped, but then it occurred to him that the little junior sister suddenly went to Jiangzhou City, maybe she went to see her teacher Xie Xun, it should be related to the things he talked about in the afternoon, and he may feel that it is not safe to send letters, which is normal.

As for why he went to Longhu Mountain, Ouyang Rong didn't know, maybe he was doing something along the way, he shook his head.

"By the way, although Miss Xie left in a hurry, she specially told us that there are some things left for you."

"What's that?"

"Miss Xie is all in Yi Lanxuan's study······ Let's go, Lianghan, we'll talk about it later, and then I'll get it after dinner, Father, they're still waiting for us."

Ouyang Rong had no choice but to nod.

After a while, Ouyang Rong rushed to a spacious Su Mansion hall, and as soon as he sat down, he suddenly felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong.

Ouyang Rong looked left and right.

I saw that Uncle Su was hospitable, Aunt Wei was gentle and generous, and Su Dalang was honest and honest······ and Su Xiaomei holding a white cat in her arms, staring down at the skirt, not knowing what she was thinking in a daze.

In the empty hall, in addition to the wine and food and the endless stream of maids, there were only him and the Su family.

Wait, why is Su Xiaomei here, her relatives are present, is this a private family banquet? But why invite him as an outsider?

Ouyang Rong asked quietly:

"Uncle Su, have you invited any important guests to your mansion tonight and need to sit with you?" I saw the old man of the Su family waving his hand:

"No, all the people are here, and it's time to have a feast."

He happily admonished the maid beside him, turned his face to Ouyang Rong and said with kind eyes:

"I suddenly remembered that the virtuous nephew lived next door, and he was recovering from a serious illness, so he invited him to have a meal together, and the virtuous nephew could rest assured, tonight was just a small gathering of relatives and friends, and no outsiders were invited······

Ouyang Rong's eyelids jumped. Don't treat him as an outsider?
