Chapter 657: Digging a hole for the head of the Ouyang family
Murong Haitang ignored the sneering around him, but sarcastically said to Ouyang Shu: "I was fortunate to see the ancestral teachings formulated by the Ouyang family. If I remember correctly, one of them is that the Ouyang family must not judge people by their appearance, and they must not be divided into poverty and humble people. Ouyang family leader, what I said is correct?"
Ouyang Shu looked at Murong Haitang in surprise, "When have you ever seen my family's ancestral teachings?"
"Although all the people in my family died, they did not leave me any gold, silver and treasures, but they left some classics, including a copy of the Ouyang family's ancestral teachings. At that time, it was also out of curiosity and took a look."
It is no secret that Murong Haitang's identity as a princess in the previous dynasty is also a book left by the royal family of the previous dynasty.
It is not fake that the Ouyang family has undergone dynasties. I think it was when they had contact with the royal family of the previous dynasty, and the ancestral teachings of the Ouyang family were copied.
Ouyang Shu looked at Murong Haitang in a complicated mood, "How many people in the world can understand that the real wealth is not the gold, silver and fine, but the collection of books passed down from generation to generation."
After sighing, he admitted frankly: "The Lord Shangshu said it is right. The Ouyang family never judges people by their appearance, nor will they turn others away because of their poverty and humbleness."
"But this does not mean that I can't choose the best one if I find a husband for my daughter."
What Ouyang Shu said makes sense, and everyone can understand that it is impossible for a father to allow his daughter to marry such an ugly man.
But Murong Haitang was waiting for Ouyang Shu’s words, “In that case, the Ouyang family’s ancestral teachings must be determined based on the actual situation?”
Ouyang Shu frowned, and he felt that Murong Haitang seemed to have something in his words.
But now that things have come to this, he can only say, "The lifelong affairs of children cannot be generalized."
"Anyone who comes to my Ouyang family for treatment, regardless of beauty or ugliness, or poverty or inferiority, will treat him well."
Ouyang Shu felt that if she said this, she would not be criticized.
Murong Haitang smiled slightly, "Haitang naturally admires the virtues of the Ouyang family."
Then, the topic changed, "What does the Ouyang family think about it? This marriage was made by Ouyang Shishi himself? Is this promise worthless? As far as I know, the Ouyang family's traitors will be severely punished."
"This?" Ouyang Shu was also a little embarrassed for a moment.
I didn’t expect that someone who knew so much about the Ouyang family’s ancestral teachings came today.
Ouyang Shu subconsciously looked at Ouyang Shishi. He wanted to ask what Ouyang Shishi agreed to.
But Yan Miao directly blocked Ouyang Shishi first and isolated Ouyang Shu's vision.
Ouyang Shishi was a little helpless when she saw this, but in fact, she had no intention of saying too much, and she never thought of breaking her promise.
Although what happened yesterday was just to get close to Wu Yuan.
I originally thought that if it went well in the future, I would just explain it to Wu Yuan.
But things changed too quickly, and Wu Yuan also took the recruitment of a son-in-law seriously, so Ouyang Shishi had already considered it clearly in one night. As long as Wu Yuan had a way to convince her father, she would be ready to keep her promise and marry Wu Yuan.
Therefore, Ouyang Shishi chose to remain silent at this moment, neither intending to explain to Ouyang Shu nor help Wu Yuan talk.
Everything is left to fate.
Ouyang Shu didn't see Ouyang Shishi, and he frowned. He felt very strange, why didn't Ouyang Shishi speak out now?
But no matter what, Ouyang Shishi cannot be allowed to marry the ugly man in front of her.
"The children of the Ouyang family must also abide by the orders of their parents and matchmakers, and they cannot let her act willful and recklessly."
That's true.
Murong Haitang nodded, "I agree with what the Ouyang family said. So, if you ask the Ouyang family, besides thinking that my friend's appearance is not attractive, do you have any other dissatisfaction?"
Ouyang Shu looked through Murong Haitang's expression, "Sir Shangshu wants to say that your friend is very talented. Not only has he defeated the younger generation in the capital, but he also defeated two master-level seniors, right?"
"It turns out that the Ouyang family leader already knows this. It's OK. I want to say this. Can't this make the Ouyang family change their minds? The original intention of the Ouyang family's ancestors not to judge people by their appearance should also be to tell future generations not to ignore a person's talent and virtue."
Facing the Ouyang family's ancestral teachings, Ouyang Shu also looked respectful and could not say the wrong ones against her will.
"Yes, I also admire this young master's talent as the head of the Ouyang family. He is better than masters and seniors in literary battles at a young age. This is enough to be proud of and can be called the leader of the younger generation."
"But as a father, I don't want my daughter to find someone with such a good looks to accompany her for the rest of her life."
Ouyang Shu was also sincere and even said to Wu Yuan: "This young master, my daughter has given you willful promises. It is my Ouyang family who is sorry for you. If you are willing, my Ouyang family can regard you as a sacrifice for compensation."
The Ouyang family's offerings? Everyone was a little shocked.
Being able to become a worshiper of the Ouyang family will be regarded as the core member of the Ouyang family in the future. From then on, he has become prosperous and enjoys endless wealth.
It can be said that this compensation is already very sincere.
Wu Yuan was also stunned when he heard this, and his impression of the Ouyang family was getting better and better.
This made Wu Yuan even more determined to take the Ouyang family under his command, and Ouyang Shishi must marry her.
Finally, before Murong Haitang could speak, Wu Yuan took the lead and said: "Didn't that say, if I were not such an ugly face, the Ouyang family would not care about my background and its own wealth, and would have betrothed Ouyang Shishi to me?"
When Ouyang Shishi heard Wu Yuan's words, she was speechless. She heard that this was the pit Wu Yuan was digging for her father.
As long as her father nodded and said yes, he might fall into the trap jointly set by Wu Yuan and Murong Haitang.
Ouyang Shu also looked at Wu Yuan thinking, but he did not rush to answer. As the head of the Ouyang family, no matter what he did or said, he would consider making a comprehensive decision before making a decision.
But this doesn't sound like nothing wrong.
This ugly boy in front of him was satisfied with everything except for his appearance.
What he said just now was also his true words. If he hadn't admired this kid's talent, he wouldn't have asked him to be the worship of the Ouyang family as compensation. He is the head of the Ouyang family and it is impossible for him to invite a waste as the worship of the Ouyang family.
As for his background, he also heard that he was a poor scholar.
Ouyang Shu really doesn't care about this. The Ouyang family does not lack gold and silver, and they will not consider creating wealth by marriage between children.
After confirming that there was nothing wrong with this, Ouyang Shu finally replied: "Yes, forgive me for being rude. Young Master, you are indeed a little ugly. If it weren't for this, I, Ouyang Shu, would have agreed to this marriage!"
