When the head of the Ouyang family went out to greet him, he felt something bad in his heart when he saw Master Yu Sheng walking in a hurry and with a serious expression.
After the two of them entered the study, Master Yu Sheng pondered for a moment and then told the news he had just received today.
Just a few days ago, the Turkic envoy openly told the emperor in the palace that the Turkic prince fell in love with his concubine, the eldest daughter of the Ouyang family, Ouyang Yan. He also asked the emperor to offer a thousand war horses as a betrothal gift.
Transferring the concubine to the imperial concubine. But for the sake of the great Zhou Dynasty and the country, His Majesty actually agreed.
This news has been strictly blocked by the imperial court, and the public has no way of knowing it. Therefore, it has not caused any big disturbance so far. And Yu Sheng only got the news from his colleagues.
After hearing the news, he hurried to Ouyang Mansion and told the head of the Ouyang family the news.
Back then, the Ouyang family had saved his life, and he had to repay it.
After learning the news, the head of the Ouyang family, Xingran, tried his best to remain calm, but his trembling body showed how much of a shock he had endured.
He stretched out his hand tremblingly, held on to the chair, and sat down with difficulty. He looked at the table with dull eyes and said nothing. In just the blink of an eye, the head of the Ouyang family seemed to have aged more than ten years. His expression was decadent,
His face was ashen.
Over the years, the Ouyang family has been able to achieve such a grand event despite the hard work of their own children. However, the biggest help comes from the eldest daughter, who is a noble concubine.
Because of Ouyang Yan's help, the Ouyang family easily obtained customs clearance documents from the northwest provinces of the Great Zhou Dynasty, as well as courtesy from officials at all levels. With these factors, the Ouyang family's business in silk and medicine grew bigger and bigger.
Just when I was thinking about how to become the number one merchant in Dazhou, I received this bad news like a bolt from the blue.
The eldest daughter who was receiving divine favor was suddenly betrothed to a Turk by the emperor. How could this happen?
The head of the Ouyang family went blank, and he sat on the chair absentmindedly, muttering.
Without the protection of their daughter in the palace, the Ouyang family is now like a big piece of fat. The officials at all levels around them are already salivating.
I'm afraid, it won't be long before the Ouyang family will be divided up.
The head of the Ouyang family was filled with despair when he thought that the scale of business he had built on his own would become someone else's property in the near future.
Then he thought about his poor daughter, who was taken to the freezing grassland and raped by the barbarians.
The head of the Ouyang family burst into tears for a while, regretting the decision he had made to send Ouyang Yan to the palace.
Looking at the head of the Ouyang family who used to be so powerful in the past, he now looks like he is old and decrepit. He is sitting there, crying bitterly. Mr. Yu Sheng feels uncomfortable in his heart.
However, he didn't know how to persuade this old man who had been very kind to him.
In the end, he just cupped his fists and bowed to the head of the Ouyang family, and told him that if he had to go to him as a last resort, Yu Sheng took advantage of the night and left.
The head of the Ouyang family was so distraught that he didn't sleep a wink all night. The next day, after sorting out some of his thoughts, he still insisted on walking out. He forced himself to calm down and walked out of the room to meet his uncles and brothers who were waiting outside the door.
, said hello. Then, acting as if nothing happened, he walked toward his little daughter's room with his hands behind his back.
Behind him, more than a dozen relatives and friends were whispering about what someone said yesterday about the family master's death. In the end, they looked at the family master who was still the same as usual, looked at each other, and sighed in their hearts.
, it turned out to be a rumor. Not long after, these uncles who had come to test him left each other.
But the face of the head of the Ouyang family who was walking in front changed slightly, and there was a hint of cruelty in his eyes.
He stopped slightly and looked back. Those who were walking and chatting had gloomy faces. They stared at the departing figures of those people and smiled coldly.
I would rather destroy this foundation with my own hands than make it easy for you bunch of morons!
He was thinking about his little daughter's condition, and walked quickly to Ouyang Ruolan's room. He happened to see that damn fat pig, and he was viciously trying to stop the doctor from treating his little daughter. After seeing this, the head of the Ouyang family was furious.
Start from the bottom of my heart. Just ask someone to throw this fat pig out, and wait until the matter here is resolved before dealing with her.
Oh, so what if his father is from Yizhou Zhizao Mansion? I am already dying, so why should I be afraid of him? If we are going to die, let’s die together.
At this time, the head of the Ouyang family was almost going crazy.
However, when he saw his little daughter on the bed, the madness that was growing in his heart was suddenly extinguished like a fire meeting a river.
He had already ruined Yan'er's happiness, how could he push his little daughter into a place of no return?
I must get through this disaster, not for anything else but for Lan'er.
Watching Mr. Lu, who was famous in Jiangning, concentrate on treating his daughter's illness. The head of the Ouyang family, who had been through many storms, was as anxious as when he was waiting outside the delivery room, waiting for Ouyang Yan to be born.
He wanted to ask several times, but he was afraid of disturbing the scholar's thoughts.
An hour later, the scholar's face remained calm. However, he could not calm down anymore. Just when he was about to ask how Ruolan was doing, a voice like the sounds of nature entered his ears from the bed.
Looking at the pale face of his little daughter on the bed, the head of the Ouyang family burst into tears for a while.
But later, the words Ouyang Ruolan said inadvertently reminded the head of the Ouyang family for the first time of the tragic experience of his eldest daughter. The entanglement and sadness in his heart made the head of the Ouyang family regret for the rest of his life.
Ouyang Mansion, reception room.
The head of the Ouyang family held a teacup in his hand and offered tea to Lu Heng frequently.
"This is my first cup. Thank you for your help, sir!" The head of the Juiyang family stood up, straightened his appearance, picked up the tea, and bowed to Lu Heng respectfully.
Lu Heng smiled helplessly, stood up, raised his hands and said to the head of the Ouyang family: "Old man, you don't have to be like this. Saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. Besides, I have met Miss Ruolan before, so it is appropriate for me to come to the rescue."
!”
However, the head of the Ouyang family stubbornly shook his head and still finished the ceremony. Then he held the tea cup in both hands and waited for Lu Heng to take it.
"Okay, I'll drink this cup of tea!" Lu Heng looked at the old man and saw that the old man was determined. He smiled, took the tea cup, raised his head, and drank all the tea in the cup.
When the head of the Ouyang family saw Lu Heng taking the tea cup, a relaxed smile appeared on his face. He turned around, poured another cup, brought it to Lu Heng again, bowed and said: "This second...
…”
Lu Heng shook his head and slowly raised his hand to stop him.
Lu Heng looked at the head of the Ouyang family who had a hint of embarrassment on his face, smiled slightly, pointed to the chair beside him and said, "Mr. Ouyang, you might as well say it directly if you have something to say! Although the tea is good, it is always bad to drink it like this!"
Having his thoughts exposed, the head of the Ouyang family smiled awkwardly, then put down his teacup and sat down.
"I have something I don't understand, and I would like to ask you for some advice!" After hesitating for a while, the head of the Ouyang family finally got to the point.
What he said to Lu Heng was not just a whim. It was something he had already meant.
The head of the Ouyang family has long heard about Mr. Lu. Moreover, according to the information he received, the death of Su Guangyi, the former governor of Jiangning Zhizao Mansion, and the demise of the Liu family were entirely the work of Mr. Lu. Of course, for
The head of the Ouyang family is also aware of the grudges.
At that time, when he accidentally learned that Mr. Lu was the manipulator of the whole thing, the head of the Ouyang family was really shocked.
He did not expect that a nerd who was usually looked down upon by many people would have such skill. Just through the hands of a small servant in the palace, he disrupted the entire Jiangning officialdom and shopping malls.
Throughout the whole matter, Mr. Lu's rigorous layout and interlocking links made people unprepared to fall into a trap that was certain to lead to death. This kind of skill is what the head of the Ouyang family, who has been in the business world for decades, did in the same way.
Afterwards, I couldn't help but feel numbness in my scalp.
At the same time, he was also glad that on the night of the bidding, he spoke out to help Wang Liye. Although, later, after the whole matter came to light, his help that night seemed a bit unnecessary. But, after all, he won the
The friendship of the prince. More importantly, he did not fall into the growing trap.
After that incident was settled, Wangfu became the number one cloth merchant in Jiangning. The head of the Ouyang family also wanted to meet the number one talents in Jiangning, Lu Heng and Lu Yongzheng, who had been hiding behind the scenes and planned the whole incident. However, there was no choice.
He can't always find a good excuse. It's hard for him to speak. Now, Mr. Lu happened to come to the Ouyang Mansion to treat his daughter, and it seemed that he and Ruolan had a good relationship. The head of the Ouyang family then tentatively said
The words in my heart.
Although he did not have much in-depth contact with the other party, the head of the Ouyang family knew that as long as the scholar was willing to help, the Ouyang family would be able to overcome this difficulty.
"Mr. Lu, I have something to ask Mr. Lu, and I hope you can enlighten me!" The head of the Ouyang family pondered for a moment, then raised his head and looked at Lu Heng expectantly.
Lu Heng turned his head, glanced at him, picked up the tea cup, blew the leaves in the cup, nodded casually and said, "You tell me!"
The head of the Ouyang family was stunned for a moment, then he felt happy and hurriedly raised his hands and said: "Thank you, Mr. Lu!"
Seeing Lu Heng nod, he picked up the tea and took a sip. The head of the Ouyang family organized his words and said, "A big event happened in the old man's family recently. Did Mr. Lu hear about it?"
The head of the Ouyang family raised his head and glanced at Lu Heng, and found that the other person was still looking so casual, and did not change because of his question. He shook his head and smiled, but he praised in his heart, what a good character. Such a good character.
It's calm and calm, it's really hard to see clearly.
The head of the Ouyang family sighed and said: "My eldest daughter, Ouyang Yan is now the concubine, I believe Mr. Lu knows about it!"@.
