Chapter 570: Is it so difficult to conquer the masses?
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 I took Huiniang in order 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 always inferior to those of the same rank as civil servants. The same third-rank, Is that 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 mentally prepared, he still didn't give up. He said anxiously, "But from the fifth grade Wang Shaoqing of Dali Temple, he was the top six in the last class. Wasn't it also through the ghosts and gods? , have you just entered the rank of fifth-rank Dali Temple Shaoqing?"
Gao Observer did not expect that Ouyang Xu would compare with Wang Yue, and the comparison was with this Taoist skill. He said with a bit of hatred, "Wang Yue Not only did he solve cases like a god, he also managed Wenzhou without closing the door for three years. He was favored by Xianggong Ke, so he proposed to the official for an exceptional promotion. If you apply to go to a remote place this time, I can also get you one If you are a seventh-rank county magistrate, if you can make political achievements, you will be at least a sixth-rank magistrate when you come back to Beijing."
Ouyang Xu's face suddenly turned pale after listening to Gao Observer's words, and then he realized that it turned out that once every six years, Opportunity for promotion, Wang Yue was promoted from the fifth rank in just three years, not because of his use of Taoism, but because of his real 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!"
During the Song Dynasty, civil servants ruled the world. 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, you and me Hui'er's marriage is over!"
Ouyang Xu felt like thunder after hearing Gao Observer'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. Now if Being abandoned by the Gao family, there was nothing left that day.
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 to the house specially. She had always been pampered when they came to meet each other, and no one could stop her. After listening to what Gao Observer said, she subconsciously objected regardless of etiquette.
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." , disgraceful!"
Gao Hui's nanny saw that Gao Wanwan was really angry, so she didn't dare to neglect, and quickly took several maids to drag 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 out in 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 leave first!" When Gao Zhanwen heard Ouyang Xu calling him father-in-law, he subconsciously pulled out his sword and was frightened
. Ouyang Xu fled.
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?" After seeing this palace official, are you really going to be unable to hold your head up for the rest of your life?"
Du Changfeng glanced at Ouyang Xu sympathetically, wondering why this shrewd friend was so obsessed. He shook his head and said helplessly, "Those ministers in the court, what they hate the most is Yinghe Sheng, and what they hate most is practicing Taoism and becoming Zen. You take the initiative to use Taoism to charm them, and you have taken both. The problem is that you are still the most beautiful person in this class, and you are presiding over the current imperial examination. It seems like a betrayal to others, even if you dare to associate with a back-party like Xiao Qinyan, your career as a prostitute will be ruined in half." Only then did Ouyang Xu understand why Gao Kuan suddenly wanted to break off the engagement. He
instantly After thinking a lot, he sighed and said, "More than half of it is ruined. The Gao family has already asked me to break off the engagement, and they no longer want me as their son-in-law. My road to Qingyun is almost completely cut off!" Du Changfeng looked at it in shock
. Ouyang Xu, he didn't expect his friend to be so miserable, nor did he expect that Gao Observer would regret his marriage. You must know that the young lady of the Gao family had visited Ouyang Xu several times in private. Good things were sent to Ouyang's family in trucks. He thought that the matter was over. It was settled, but I didn’t expect that I would regret the marriage just because I said I 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 from the things that Grandma Kong taught them. They started schooling when they were children, but Zhao Paner and her three daughters only started learning when they were so old. It was really tiring.
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 hang out, 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 also follow my example and learn from it?" Sun Sanniang didn't expect that she was just a loser
. The masses are actually required to learn. Is it so difficult for the masses who are eating melons now?
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." Mother
Kong Grandma saw that Sun Sanniang was a cheerful person and liked her very much, so she smiled and said, "Don't you want to take your son back?"
Sun Sanniang was stunned for a moment, she had only dreamed about it, and then she immediately said, "Yes, why don't you want to, but my son You think I am too strict and not as considerate as 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 also very curious when she heard what Mother Kong said, so she asked doubtfully, "Mom, is there something important about this?"
Mother Kong was originally planning to arrange this course later, but seeing that the three women were all curious, she didn't Hiding it, he said very cautiously, "Although the fight in the back house is not as sword-fighting as that between men, it is still bloody. Which back house has no privacy matters? If you want to sit firmly in the back house, just You have to have 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? It's just that we win the fight, so what? We can keep the man's heart. Isn't that enough?"
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 was curious She asked, "How can we get the best of both worlds?"
Seeing Zhao Pan'er being so curious, Grandma Kong didn't hide her secrets, so she slowly told some gossips about various families in Beijing, subtly teaching the three daughters some secrets of the back house. Let them understand the brutality 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 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.
赵盼儿自从和欧阳旭断了之后,就没想过再联系,更没想到今天会巧遇,如果是以前的赵盼儿,肯定会说几句,彻底斩断了两人的瓜葛。
可是经过孔嬷嬷这么多天的教导,赵盼儿已经明白那样做不好,没有那个大妇会这么做的。
赵盼儿也不答话,很是顺从的站在王跃的身侧,仿佛是没听到一般,默默地等着王跃开口。
王跃看着欧阳旭的眼神,就冷着脸说道,“盼儿这个名字,你以后还是不要叫的好,毕竟那是贱内的闺名,同心佩也已经给你,你就别再纠缠了。”
欧阳旭愣了一下,他感觉不可思议,他没想到王跃一个从五品大理寺少卿,竟然娶一个做过官妓的女子为妻,就不怕同僚们的耻笑吗?
王跃看出了欧阳旭的意思,为了避免以后麻烦,就冷冷的警告道,“听闻你马上就要去洛阳做宫观官了,还是早些上任的好。”
欧阳旭没想到王跃消息这么灵通,他想到那天王跃的种种行为,好像就是做给他看的,让欧阳旭心中怒火中烧,咬牙切齿的说道,“我明日才启程,不劳王少卿费心了。”
王跃看出欧阳旭对他有股恨意,他也不以为意,只是冷哼一声,淡漠的说道,“你可知得罪我的那个华亭县县令,现在如何了?”
欧阳旭身体微颤,他可是听说王跃在两浙可是搅得腥风血雨,六七品的官员搁置查办了好几个,最可怕的是,这些官员最后都死了。
虽然不见得都是王跃出的手,可是如果不是王跃揪住不放,那些官员也不可能被灭口,连去岭南的机会都没有。
要知道,大宋是不杀士大夫的!
好汉不吃眼前亏,欧阳旭连忙憋屈的躬身施礼,这才说道,“下官明白,下官告辞!”
只是欧阳旭低头那一瞬间,在王跃看不见的角落,目光十分的阴毒。
