Chapter 570 Is It so Difficult for the Masses to Eat Melons?

After arriving at Gao's house, he was scolded by Gao Observer. Gao Observer didn't expect that a good prospect could be so stupid.

Doesn't Qingliu despise such blatant flattery? It will be difficult to get promoted in the future. Everyone expresses their feelings tactfully!

Ouyang Xu was also aggrieved. Wang Yue, a second-grade Jinshi, could go to Wenzhou as a county magistrate. But he, a top-notch scholar, was asked to be a ninth-grade junior official in Beijing. Wasn't it a disgrace?

Looking at the furious Gao Kuan, Ouyang Xu quickly defended, "My father-in-law is happy and angry. The second number one scholar was awarded the ninth rank of Dali Pingshi. How come I, the author of Zuo Lang, am also the eighth rank, two ranks higher? I am doing this for Take Huiniang to earn face for her."

Gao Observer did not expect that Ouyang Xu was still stubborn. Although he was a third-rank official and the second-in-command in the army, he was inferior to those of the same rank as civilian officials. The same third-rank officer, are they the same?

Because of this, Gao Kuanwan wanted to find a civil servant to marry his daughter. Unexpectedly, he was blind and met such a fool. He said angrily, "Our Gao family, but Gao Pan, can't say that someone like you can get promoted through ghosts and gods." A capable minister!"

Even though Ouyang Xu was somewhat mentally prepared, he still refused to give up. He said anxiously, "But Wang Shaoqing from Dali Temple, who was in the fifth grade, was the second- and sixth-ranked person in the previous class. Didn't he get into the ranking through something involving ghosts and gods?" Are you a fifth-grade young minister of Dali Temple?"

Gao Observer didn't expect that Ouyang Xu would compare with Wang Yue, and the comparison was with this Taoist skill. He said with a bit of hatred for iron, "Wang Yue not only solved cases like a god, but also governed Wenzhou without closing the door at night in three years. He was criticized." Because of the favor of Xianggong Ke, I proposed to the official family for an exceptional promotion. If you apply to go to a remote place this time, I can also get you a seventh-grade county magistrate. If you can make political achievements, you can come back to Beijing. At least it’s the sixth grade.”

After hearing Gao Observer's words, Ouyang Xu's face suddenly turned pale. Only then did he realize that it turned out that Wang Yue was promoted to the fifth rank in just three years for the opportunity to be promoted once every six years. It was not because of the use of Taoism. Is it because you are attracted by Fa Mei because you really have the ability to do things?

When people saw Wang Yue's practical ability, Wang Yue's commonly used Taoist methods of asking the mind became a tool in the trial, and everyone could only pretend not to see the role of Meishang.

You know, the entire Song Dynasty is now praising Wang Qingtian's deeds. Anyone who dares to say that Wang Yue was promoted because of his charm will definitely be scolded to death.

After Ouyang Xu figured it out, he also woke up from the confusion. It seemed that he had been plotted as soon as he entered Wang Yue's house that day. He quickly knelt on the ground and said regretfully, "Father-in-law, I was wrong. Please ask my father-in-law to save me!"

The Song Dynasty ruled the world with civil servants, and Gao Kuan did not dare to put his hands into the civil service system. It was not worth it for an incompetent person. He waved his hand and scolded, "Don't call me father-in-law, your marriage to Hui'er is over!" "

Ouyang Xu felt like thunder after hearing Gao Kuan's words. He was so frightened that he fell to the ground. You must know that he gave up his engagement with Zhao Pan'er in order to have a good wife. If he was abandoned by the Gao family now, he would be dead that day. Nothing is left.

At this moment, Gao Hui suddenly broke in. She said anxiously, "Dad, you can't do this. I just want to marry Ouyang Xu."

Gao Hui originally heard that Ouyang Xu came to the house, so she came here specifically to meet her. She had always been pampered, and no one could stop her. After hearing what Gao Observer said, she subconsciously ignored the etiquette and went out. voice objected.

Several maids and servants chased after him without trying to stop him. Seeing Gao Kuan's gloomy expression, they quickly knelt down on the ground and did not dare to move.

Gao Kuan was a little angry when he saw his unfulfilled daughter. He didn't expect that Ouyang Xu could be so skillful and deceive his daughter's heart with just a few words. This made him even more angry. Uncharacteristically, he yelled, "Pull me down." ,a shame!"

Gao Hui's nanny saw that Gao Wanwan was really angry, so she didn't dare to neglect him. She quickly took several maids and dragged Gao Hui away.

The furious Gao Wanwan had nowhere to vent his anger. He pointed at Ouyang Xu's nose and said coldly, "When you go back, let the matchmaker come to your door to cancel the engagement. If you let me hear any bad news about Hui'er, I'll take it." Your life!"

Ouyang Xu thought of the inexplicable accidents that had happened one after another to the officials and women he had hooked up with before. He could see that Gao Hui was simple-minded and would not do such a thing. He also didn't think that those slaves would do it. Then Gao Observation was the only one. .

Thinking of this, Ouyang Xu broke into a cold sweat and did not dare to continue to pester him. He quickly defended, "Father-in-law, please calm down first, and I will resign first!"

When Gao Kuan heard that Ouyang Xu was calling his father-in-law, he subconsciously pulled out his sword, frightening Ouyang Xu and running away.

Ouyang Xu left the Gao family and quickly went to find his good friend Du Changfeng who taught in the academy. He knew Du Changfeng's temper and was not polite when meeting him. He asked directly, "Brother Du, I want to know, what do I do?" If you lose this palace official, will you really be unable to hold your head up for the rest of your life?"

Du Changfeng glanced at Ouyang Xu with some sympathy. He didn't understand why this shrewd friend was so obsessed. He shook his head and said helplessly, "Those ministers in the court, the one they hate the most is Yinghe Sheng. The one they hate the most is It means cultivating Taoism and becoming Zen. If you take the initiative to charm me with Taoism, you have taken both. The problem is that you are still the top pick in this batch. To the people who preside over the imperial examination, it is like betrayal. You dare to talk to a back-party like Xiao Qinyan. My sycophant, half of your career has been ruined."

Only then did Ouyang Xu understand why Gao Wanwan suddenly wanted to break off the engagement. He thought a lot in an instant. He sighed and said, "It's more than half ruined. The Gao family already wants me to break off the engagement, and they don't want me as their son-in-law anymore. I The Qingyun Road is almost completely blocked!"

Du Changfeng looked at Ouyang Xu in astonishment. He did not expect that his friend would be so miserable, nor did he expect that Gao Kankan would regret the marriage. You must know that the young lady of the Gao family has visited Ouyang Xu several times in private. Ouyang sent it home. He thought that the matter was settled like this, but he didn't expect that he would regret the marriage if he said he regretted it.

It's just that Du Changfeng doesn't know that his friend is also in the same group as Gao Guanwan, and he is also a person who regrets his marriage when he says he regrets it. He doesn't know what he will think.

After leaving Du Changfeng's teaching academy, Ouyang Xu was thinking about his future path. He accidentally saw Wang Yue. Just when he was feeling sad and wanted to ask why Wang Yue harmed him, he saw Dao and Wang Yue walked with Gu Paner.

Seeing Zhao Pan'er, Ouyang Xu thought of Zhao Pan'er's help when he was down and out, and the grievances in his heart immediately surged up. He forgot for a moment that he had regretted his marriage, and quickly stepped forward and asked, "Pan'er, what are you doing?" Are you coming to Kyoto?"

Wang Yue didn't expect to meet Ouyang Xu here. He just sympathized with the fact that the three girls were tired of learning the rules and took them out to relax. After all, other girls learned what Grandma Kong taught them when they were children. It's really tiring for Zhao Paner's three daughters to start learning at such an old age.

As for why three women learned the rules together, we have to start from the first day of learning the rules.

Zhao Pan'er is very smart. Although she knows that Wang Yue doesn't care, she can't care. She must know that Wang Yue has been a fifth-rank Shaoqing of Dali Temple since he was young. It is possible to join the cabinet and worship the prime minister. It is inevitable to interact with ministers from time to time. If he does not understand the etiquette of communication at all, it will not only disgrace Wang Yue, but may even offend others.

So, from the very beginning of learning the rules, it was Zhao Pan'er who learned them from Song Yinzhang. Both of them were women from Leji background. It turns out that walking, sitting and lying all have a seductive charm, but in the opinion of the upbringing mother, this is The concubine's behavior is definitely not what a matron should have.

If the couple's fun is in private, it's okay and it can enhance their relationship. But if it's while entertaining guests, it will bring disaster to their husbands.

The old grandma has such a vicious eye. She saw on the first day that Zhao Pan'er was probably not a good girl before. She was unwilling to teach her at the beginning. You must know that Zhao Pan'er was already the wife of a fifth-rank official, and she was a wife of a fifth-rank official. Pin Gaoming's identity was that she was the wife of Wang Yue, an official of her employer. If she taught her hard, she would offend Mrs. Wang, and if she didn't teach her, her reputation would be ruined. This made her really embarrassed.

Zhao Pan'er is relatively smart. When she heard that the foster mother was ready to leave after just one day, she hurriedly went to sincerely persuade her to stay, and also told her family's life experience.

Zhao Pan'er said that she was originally a young lady from an official family, but she fell into trouble because her father was exiled. She also suffered a lot, and finally met a good husband. Although she knew that she couldn't help Wang Yue, she didn't want to cause trouble to Wang Yue, so she asked the mother-in-law to just teach him strictly, and she was beaten and scolded as she pleased.

Seeing Zhao Pan'er being so sincere, the upbringing mother sighed that it was not easy for women in this world, so she softened her heart and stayed to teach them. During the upbringing process, she tried to become stricter gradually, and found that no matter how hard and tired Zhao Pan'er was, she still gritted her teeth and persisted. They didn't complain, and they gained her favor. They also felt that they could teach each other everything they had, and strive to educate the two women so that outsiders would not be able to see the past.

Song Yinzhang and Zhao Pan'er felt miserable once Nanny Tutoring became serious, but they all knew it was for their own good, and they all gritted their teeth and persisted. Although they had learned hard, they did not waste Nanny Tutoring's good intentions.

But as soon as Zhao Pan'er and Song Yinzhang got busy, the workshop affairs could only be put on hold. On the one hand, Wang Yue's equipment was being produced, and on the other hand, Sun Sanniang was afraid of suffering a loss in handling the procurement and customization matters, so she was free. At the beginning, I just sat aside and watched the excitement of Zhao Pan'er and Song Yinzhang, but the two women always made mistakes.

The mother-in-law seemed to have overheard that the three girls were sisters, and thought that Sun Sanniang was also from a humble background. However, Sun Sanniang exuded the smell of a commoner, which puzzled the mother-in-law.

When she learned about Sun Sanniang's past in a casual chat, she was filled with indignation even though she was old. She looked at Sun Sanniang who seemed to want to goof off and said with hatred, "Only when a person knows how to be self-reliant can he become strong. If you want If I want to get your son back, I can't live like this. You are not bad looking and have a graceful figure. How can you not be able to fight against a widow? You should follow my example and learn from it."

Sun Sanniang didn't expect that she, a melon-eater, would be asked to study. Is it so difficult for today's melon-eater?

Thinking of Zhao Pan'er and Song Yinzhang's recent efforts, Sun Sanniang became a little timid and said with a smile, "Me? No need. I don't plan to be an official's wife. I just want to open my pastry workshop and make a lot of money."

Grandma Kong saw that Sun Sanniang was a cheerful person and liked her very much, so she smiled and said, "You don't want to take your son back?"

Sun Sanniang was stunned for a moment. She had only dreamed about it, and immediately said, "I think about it, why don't I want to, but my son dislikes me for being too strict and not as considerate as that Mr. Tao."

Grandma Kong knew there was a way out when Sun Sanniang said this. She said seriously, "A woman is deep in the back house. This back house is equivalent to her own battlefield. If you are blindly arrogant, you will only push your son further and further away." .”

Zhao Pan'er was very curious when she heard what Mother Kong said, so she asked doubtfully, "Mommy, is there something special about this?"

Aunt Kong originally planned to arrange this course later. Seeing that the three women were all curious, she decided not to hide it and said very cautiously, "Although the fight in the back house is not like a sword fight between men, it is still bloody. Yes, which back house doesn’t have privacy issues? If you want to be secure in the back house, you must have some means."

Zhao Pan'er was stunned for a moment, then remembered the house fight that Wang Yue jokingly called, and asked curiously, "Mother Kong, is this a house fight? So what if we win the fight? Isn't it enough that we can keep the man's heart?"

Grandma Kong waved her hand and said with a smile, "That's the concubine's method, the eldest wife's method, of course, not only to retain the heart, but also to retain the person."

Zhao Pan'er didn't quite understand, so she asked curiously, "How can we get the best of both worlds?"

Seeing that Zhao Pan'er was so curious, Grandma Kong didn't hide her secrets, so she slowly told some gossips about various families in the capital, subtly teaching the three girls the secrets of the back house, so that they could understand the cruelty of the struggle in the back house.

In her free time, Aunt Kong taught manners and etiquette, and also taught house fighting skills. The three girls did not feel tired during class. Even if they were so tired that they could not stand upright at the end of get out of class, they still managed to continue studying the next day. .

Finally, Wang Yue couldn't bear it anymore, so he gave the three girls a day's rest. He discussed with Aunt Kong and asked the Wang family to provide for Aunt Kong in old age, and let her teach her slowly and not be in a hurry. It will be time to go to school in the future. Five days and two days off.

Aunt Kong didn't expect Wang Yue to pity Zhao Pan'er so much. She also lamented the good luck of this woman. Thinking of the fact that he had no family or friends after leaving the palace, she nodded and agreed to Wang Yue's invitation. After all, Wang Yue's courtyard was too peaceful. , it’s really a place for retirement.

But what no one expected was that something happened as soon as they went out.

Zhao Pan'er never thought about contacting Ouyang Xu ever since she broke up with her, and she never expected that they would meet by chance today. If it were the Zhao Pan'er from before, he would definitely have said a few words and completely cut off the relationship between the two.

But after so many days of teaching from Aunt Kong, Zhao Paner already understood that it was not good to do that, and no big woman would do that.

Zhao Pan'er didn't answer, but stood beside Wang Yue obediently, as if he didn't hear anything, waiting silently for Wang Yue to speak.

Wang Yue looked at Ouyang Xu's eyes and said with a cold face, "You'd better not call me Pan'er in the future. After all, it's my wife's maiden name. Tongxin Pei has already given it to you, so don't bother me anymore." ”

Ouyang Xu was stunned for a moment. He felt incredible. He didn't expect that Wang Yue, a young minister from the fifth rank of Dali Temple, would marry a woman who had been an official prostitute. Aren't he afraid of the ridicule of his colleagues?

Wang Yue saw Ouyang Xu's intention, and in order to avoid future trouble, he warned coldly, "I heard that you are going to Luoyang to be a palace observer soon, so it's better to take office earlier."

Ouyang Xu didn't expect Wang Yue to be so well-informed. He thought that Wang Yue's actions that day seemed to be done just for him. Ouyang Xu felt angry and gritted his teeth and said, "I will set off tomorrow, so Wang Shaoqing won't bother." .”

Wang Yue saw that Ouyang Xu had a hatred for him, but he didn't take it seriously. He just snorted and said indifferently, "Do you know what happened to the Huating County magistrate who offended me?"

Ouyang Xu's body trembled slightly. He had heard that Wang Yue had caused a bloody storm in Zhejiang and Zhejiang. Several officials of the sixth and seventh grades had put aside the investigation. The most frightening thing was that all of these officials died in the end.

Although it may not all be Wang Yue's fault, if Wang Yue hadn't grabbed hold of them, those officials wouldn't have been silenced, and they wouldn't even have had the chance to go to Lingnan.

You know, the Song Dynasty did not kill scholar-bureaucrats!

A good man doesn't want to take advantage of the situation. Ouyang Xu quickly bowed and saluted, and then said, "I understand, I will take my leave!"

But the moment Ouyang Xu lowered his head, his eyes were very sinister in the corner where Wang Yue could not see.
