Chapter 568: Is it so difficult to conquer the masses?
After arriving at Gao's house, he was scolded by Gao Observer for a while. Gao Observer never thought that a good prostitute could be so stupid.
Doesn't Qingliu despise such blatant flattery? It will be difficult to get promoted in the future, because everyone expresses their feelings tactfully!
Ouyang Xu was also aggrieved. Wang Yue, a second-grade Jinshi, could go to Wenzhou to be a county magistrate. But if he was asked to be a ninth-grade junior official in Beijing, wouldn't it be a disgrace to him?
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 Dali Pingshi. How come I, the author of Zuo Lang, am also the eighth rank, two ranks higher? I am the same."
To win over Huiniang, to earn face for her."
Gao Kuan 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. Are they the same for the same third-rank officer?
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 from the fifth grade Wang Shaoqing of Dali Temple, he was the top six in the last class. Didn't he get into this 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 and steel, "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 Xianggong Ke's favor, I proposed an exceptional promotion to the officials. 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 Kuan'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 chance of promotion once every six years. It was not because of the use of Taoism.
Is it because you really have the ability to do things that you are attracted to?
When people saw Wang Yue's practical ability, Wang Yue's commonly used Taoist method of asking the mind became a tool in the trial, and everyone could only pretend not to see the role of charm.
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, 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 is abandoned by the Gao family now, he will die 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.
voiced objection.
Several maids and servants chased after him without trying to stop him. When they saw 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 happened to the several official women he had hooked up with in the past. He could see that Gao Hui was simple-minded and would not do such a thing. He also didn't think those slaves would do it. Then only Gao Observation could do it.
.
Thinking of this, Ouyang Xu broke out in a cold sweat and did not dare to continue to pester. 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, which frightened Ouyang Xu and ran 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 high 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 Ying He Sheng. The one they hate the most is
It means cultivating Taoism and becoming Zen, and you take the initiative to flatter me with Taoism. 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, because you dare to talk to a later 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 that, but he didn't expect that he would regret the marriage just as he said he regretted the marriage.
It's just that Du Changfeng doesn't know that his friend is also in the same group as Gao Kuanshan, 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 and Gu Paner walked together.
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.
Zhao Pan'er and her three daughters started learning at such an old age, which is 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 at a young age. It is possible to join the cabinet and worship the prime minister.
It is inevitable to interact with ministers. 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 fine and it can enhance their relationship. But if it's while entertaining guests, it will bring disaster to the husband.
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 know, 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 was taught harshly, she would offend Mrs. Wang, and if she was not taught, her reputation would be ruined. This made her really embarrassed.
Zhao Pan'er is relatively smart. When she heard that the nun 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 could not help Wang Yue,
But she didn't want to cause trouble to Wang Yue, so she asked the upbringing aunt to just teach strictly, and she was allowed to be beaten and scolded.
Seeing Zhao Paner's sincerity, the upbringing mother lamented 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 Paner 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.
However, Song Yinzhang and Zhao Pan'er felt miserable once Aunt Song took the education seriously, but they all knew it was for their own good, and each one of them gritted their teeth and persisted. Although they had learned hard, they did not waste all the good intentions of Aunt Tuition.
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 Paner and Song Yinzhang, but this caused the two women to make mistakes all the time.
The mother-in-law seemed to have overheard that the three girls were called 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 defeat 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 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 then she 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 Mrs. Tao."
Seeing what Sun Sanniang said, Grandma Kong knew there was a way. 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, "Mom, is there something special about this?"
Aunt Kong originally planned to arrange this course later, but 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, any back house has no 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? It's just that if we win the fight, so what, can we just 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."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! 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, Aunt Kong didn't hide her secrets, so she slowly told some gossips about various families in the capital, subtly teaching the three girls some secrets of the back house, so that they could understand the brutal struggle in the back house.
In her free time, Aunt Kong teaches manners and etiquette, and also teaches 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 her 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 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 would happen as soon as they went out.
...
Zhao Pan'er never thought of 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, she 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. 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. Tong Xin Pei has already given it to you, so don't bother me anymore."
Already."
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. Wasn'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 is better to take up the post as soon as possible."
Ouyang Xu didn't expect Wang Yue to be so well-informed. He thought about Wang Yue's various actions that day, which seemed to be done for him. Ouyang Xu felt angry in his heart, and gritted his teeth and said, "I will set off tomorrow, so Wang Shaoqing doesn't need to worry about it."
.”
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.
