Chapter 86
(It’s a new week, come out and act cute, please give me some votes and rewards~~~)
Lu Zhengming was slightly startled, then looked at Ouyang Kang again, "Isn't your eldest son Ouyang Zhuang? He looks older than your eldest son, why have I never heard of you talking about him?"
Ouyang Jin became more and more ashamed, and said cryptically, "I was born in the countryside. I haven't heard from him for many years. I don't know exactly. I have to go back and ask my mother for advice."
Lu Zhengming thought for a while, then suddenly burst out laughing, "Sir Ouyang, I really have you. I don't even know that I have such an old son. I have to ask the court for advice. If I tell you, you are not afraid of being laughed at!"
He patted Ouyang Jin hard twice, then let go and walked up to Ouyang Kang. He was friendly and like an honest elder, and said, "I'm sorry, your father and I drank two more drinks. It's a misunderstanding. It's purely a misunderstanding.
"
He stuffed the ingot of silver back into his sleeve and took off a jade pendant from his waist. "My eldest nephew, I didn't prepare anything good when we met for the first time. I'll give you this jade pendant to calm down your shock. I'll send someone to you later."
I’ll give you a replacement meeting gift. Are you scared? It’s okay, just take it.”
Seeing that Ouyang Kang refused to reach out to pick it up, he was not angry. He just turned around and said, "Hey, Mr. Ouyang, you're scaring the child. Let him pick it up quickly!"
Ouyang Jin wanted to finish the job and leave quickly, grinding his teeth and stamping his feet angrily, "If I tell you to take it, just take it."
Ouyang Kang stubbornly clenched his fists and didn't take it. Nian Fu took it for him without saying thank you. He just stared at them with contempt in his eyes.
Lu Zhengming was not annoyed. He turned around and patted Ouyang Jin on the shoulder. He said pointedly, "Master Ouyang, you have raised a good son!"
He left in a happy mood.
Ouyang Jin felt relieved, but turned around and cursed again, "You bastard, why don't you leave quickly!"
After scolding him, he got in the car and left.
Nianfu was left looking at Ouyang Kang, feeling that the red light from all over the street fell on his thin shoulders, which was particularly dazzling and desolate.

"The master went into the study when he came back?"
Mrs. Tan felt a little strange when she heard the servant's reply. She knew her husband very well after being married for more than ten years. Ouyang Jin was the kind of man who could only sleep with a woman in his arms even if he didn't do anything.
People, what's so big about this, that the tiger actually eats carrots instead?
The servant didn't know, so he only said, "But the person who went out with the master said that the eldest young master was behind him and told him to keep the door open."
This is even more strange, "Did they meet on the road?"
"But they don't know. No matter how much I ask, they dare not tell me what happened on the road."
Mrs. Tan thought about it. She thought it was Ouyang Jin who told Ouyang Kang to go back, but maybe he didn't say it well. So the servants didn't dare to spread it randomly. So they didn't say much and just ordered people to go to the warehouse to prepare some early food.
The cloth, vases and other moldy and useless things will be taken back to Ouyang Kang's hometown as a gift.
After a night.
Nianfu got up early and went to work in the kitchen. When Ouyang Kang opened the door, he saw her coming in with a food box and a bright smile. "It's time to eat!"
Looking at such a smile full of vitality, it seemed like a fresh spring was flowing into the room. Even Aqi's face became more energetic, and when she peeked at the eldest young master, who had been extremely depressed since he came back last night, there was also a glow in his eyes, and he couldn't help but feel happy.
As soon as he let go, he stepped forward to take the food box and joked with a smile, "Sister Mu, you can't stop taking this slave's work. If you continue like this, when the slave has grown a body of meat, you will be punished.
It’s rough work.”
Nianfu smiled with eight little white teeth, "What are you afraid of being fat? Only if a girl is fatter can she have a good childbirth!"
This girl dared to say anything. Ah Qi blushed, but she heard that the young master had already put down his face and said, "Young lady, there is no way to stop what you say! What are you doing again this early in the morning?"
Seeing that he didn't mean to blame her, Ah Qi secretly smiled inwardly. Even though the eldest young master looked so fierce towards Sister Mu, in fact, he had never seriously lost his temper with her.
Taking out the black, green, yellow and red snacks from the food box, Ah Qi's eyes lit up, "What is this? It's so exquisite!"
Ouyang Kang looked at the snacks on the plate and his eyes softened, "This is the Si-color cake, also known as Mantangcai. It is an excellent family-style snack made in our hometown. You should try it too."
"I'll wait for the young master and sister to eat before eating." Although Ah Qi knew that the young master had a good temper, she still put out snacks very politely, and took out the porridge to add to the two of them.
I only thought of Fogg's treatment, "I will send you a copy as well, as the second young master."
Aqi glanced at Ouyang Kang, but saw that he looked as usual, not unhappy at all, but said to Nianfu, "Then I'll borrow your money. Go tell the second young master that I wasn't here when Lan Gu came back yesterday."
, thank you for taking care of me."
Ah Qi meekly took the things and left.
Nianfu joked in a low voice, "You have been here only a few days, and this girl really listens to your words. Here, take this, and give this to you."
He rolled his eyes at her first, and then watched her take out the little bear inkstone. Ouyang Kang was a little surprised, "Don't you like this thing very much? How can you give it to me?"
Nianfu smiled and said, "I accepted a jade pendant from you yesterday, so naturally I have to give you something back. This inkstone was pushed by you that day and it didn't even break when I threw it, so I might be destined to be with you. Although your
The jade pendant is much more valuable than the inkstone, but you just have to go out of your way to exchange it with me. Let me take the jade pendant out later and exchange it for silver so that I can buy new bracelets for my mother and grandma, okay?"
When he mentioned the jade pendant given by Lu Zhengming, Ouyang Kang's eyes suddenly darkened. But after hearing Nianfu's next words, his eyes brightened again. He took the inkstone with a straight face and said innocently,
"Forget it, then I'll suffer a loss. Since you're illiterate, it's a waste to keep these things from your study."
Putting down the inkstone, he picked up the porridge bowl with a slightly raised corner of his mouth and changed the subject, "Hey, what are you cooking? Eight-treasure porridge? Why did you put mung beans in it?"
Nianfu raised his eyebrows, "Can you please stop being so old-fashioned? It's summer now, so of course the eight-treasure porridge should be different from the winter ones. I went to the kitchen early in the morning and cooked it with mung beans, glutinous rice, lotus seeds, lilies, and many other things to clear away the heat.
To relieve the heat, have some sweets in the morning and you will be in a good mood throughout the day!”
"It's just a sweet porridge, but you have so many weird ideas."
"Humph, good intentions are not rewarded. If I had known, I wouldn't have given you this inkstone."
"You want to take back what you gave away? You are so shameless." Ouyang Kang scolded her and suddenly changed the subject, "After we finish eating, we will go to the street and buy what we need to buy. When the master comes back,
Say goodbye to him and go home some day."
After chanting blessings with chopsticks, I glanced at Ouyang Kang twice. Seeing that he was calm and calm, and his expression remained unchanged, he raised a big smile and said, "Yeah! Go home!"
"Who wants to go home?" Suddenly, Lan Gu heard half of the words and came in through the door. Seeing that Nian Fu had forgotten the rules and openly sat with Ouyang Kang for dinner, she felt awkward again.
But what Ouyang Kang said immediately made her have no time to deal with these little awkwardnesses, "Lan Gu, think about what you need to buy. We'll go shopping in a while. We'll leave in a few days."
What? Lan Gu was stunned for a moment, "We just came here and we are going back?"
"Yes. Oh, you may not know that Sister Mu and I were sick the day we were washed away by the water. If it hadn't been for Sister Mu, we might have died. It's a pity that we couldn't catch up with the exam even if we rushed to the capital.
, it’s useless for us to stay any longer. But my grandmother is getting older, so I’m really worried, so it’s better to go back earlier.”
After all the hard work to get to the capital, he actually still missed the exam? All Lan Gu could think of was one sentence, the young master's future is ruined, his future is ruined!
However, suddenly, as if grasping at a life-saving straw, she remembered, "Then the young master doesn't need to go back. Why should we go back when the master is here?"
Unexpectedly, Ouyang Kang rarely looked down on her, "Lan Gu, what are you talking about? Are you greedy for the glory of the capital and don't want to go back? Well, you stay, anyway, I must leave.
"
Lan Gu was choked by him and could not speak. She was panicked and anxious. If the eldest young master goes back this time, it will probably be difficult for him to come to the capital again. What will be waiting for him then? Think about the third master and the third master.
With his wife's appearance, how can he have an easy life?
Although she has only been here for a short day, Lan Gu has already clearly felt that the second young master who lives in the same courtyard is obviously much better than the eldest young master. This does not mean that he is good-looking or knowledgeable, but that he has a broad vision.
Can people who grew up in the capital be the same as those who grew up in the countryside? But these are things that her eldest young master should have!
But Ouyang Kang didn't give her a chance to talk. After breakfast, he went out with Nianfu. Because she had to meet Ruan Dahu and Zheng Sange, Lan Gu stopped going as soon as she heard that. She sat at home alone, crying in the wind.
Deliberately sad in front of others.
Ah Qi felt strange and stepped forward to inquire. Lan Gu asked with red eyes, "Is it because the master doesn't like the eldest young master that's why the eldest young master wants to leave?"
Ah Qi felt sad. I have seen the eldest young master these days. Do you still need to ask if you like it? However, it is not necessary for a person like the eldest young master to go back to the countryside and live a quiet life for the rest of his life.
A good thing.
Soon the news reached Ouyang Zhuang's ears. He sat in silence alone for a long time, ordered people to take out all his private rooms, and went to see his mother again. "No matter what, he will always be the eldest son of the Ouyang family. Even though he is
We have returned to the countryside, but if we don’t take care of us at all, what light will it have on our mother’s face? We will have to go back a hundred years later, just to leave a way out for our future encounters. Mother, please also leave some for your brother.
Save your face."
Knowing that Ouyang Kang was leaving, Mrs. Tan was overjoyed. Since the country bastard was so sensible, she might as well be a loving mother to give her son peace of mind. She ordered someone to get a two thousand tael of silver notes and showed them to her son.
, "We spent a lot of money in the capital, so if we take him back to the countryside to get married and become a rich man, it wouldn't be considered as treating him badly."
Ouyang Zhuang nodded and said nothing.
I sent my son away, but I never thought that someone would send me a gift soon.
Mrs. Tan was startled when she looked at the dazzling array of things on the table, "Is it really from Mr. Lu?" That iron rooster has always flattered others, so how could he suddenly send gifts to his family?
"The person who gave the gift to the Lu family came to tell me that this is a meeting gift for the eldest young master. He also told me not to be too rude. I will give it to the eldest young master when I get something good next year."
This time, Mr. Tan was really confused. What was so good about that country bastard that he deserved Lu Zhengming’s fawning? (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations, monthly votes, and your support.
