Chapter 1,13 Family Events

Speaking of this, Jiang Lang smiled slightly and said, "So, Ouyang Chengxu came to me and asked for information. Even if you came, you will also give you information. However, since you are a competition, we now provide your information only with some basic information about these countries. To judge how to sell this weapon, we still have to rely on you, but it will be different in the future! In the process of dealing with other countries, we will try our best to provide information, but the final judgment is still you yourself!"

After a pause, Jiang Lang said, "Do you understand what I mean now? Situ Ren, you are actually very excellent, but you don't see that things are ahead. In other words, you need to learn in many places!"

"Sir, I understand!"

Situ Ren and the other two answered some disappointed, but the only thing worthy of comfort is that at least there is an imperial administrator who can be used as a court administrator, at least he is also a court official!

Jiang Lang nodded slightly and then said, "Okay, that's the decision now. Ouyang Chengxu, you should go to court with me tomorrow. As for you two, wait for news at home, I will be of good use, and I will recommend you! And don't think that your official position is small and may not attract the attention of others. I will tell you directly that your position is as important as Ouyang Chengxu. If Ouyang Chengxu is doing business on behalf of the Ming Dynasty and those foreign courts outside, then you will be responsible for contacting the envoys who come to our country at home, etc. According to my understanding, that is the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of our court. If our court wants to talk to other countries, you are the spokespersons of our court. Do you understand this?"

At this time, there was no concept of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but in Jiang Lang's eyes, the yamen established by Emperor Jingtai, which allowed Yu Qian to manage those foreigners who entered the Ming Dynasty, was actually equivalent to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. As for the role of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, it may be difficult for people now to understand, but for Jiang Lang, you are very clear that this is the Ming Dynasty's window to the outside world!

Although I can't understand how much responsibility the yamen is for what Jiang Lang said, Ma Yu and Situ Ren also felt that it was definitely not simple from Jiang Lang's words. At that moment, the two nodded together and said, "Thank you!"

"Don't thank me, this is the result of your own efforts. Okay, that's all for today. Ouyang Chengxu, you have a good preparation and go to the court with me tomorrow. As for you two, you will go back to school temporarily and complete your studies. People will naturally notify you at that time!"

Jiang Lang nodded and said, the matter was over at this point. Now the next thing is to take him to the court and meet Emperor Jingtai, and the next thing is to prepare to go to sea!

The three of them all took their leave and then walked outside!

After leaving the door, Situ Ren suddenly turned around, bowed to Ouyang Chengxu, and said, "Brother Ouyang, congratulations!"

Ouyang Chengxu hurriedly returned the courtesy: "Thank you, this is also Brother Situ's humility!"

Situ Ren shook his head and said, "Brother Ouyang, to be honest, it's definitely not that I'm humble, but that you really beat me. But I have to admit that you think much more than me. When I met an adult, he also said the same thing to me, but I didn't think that with the help of others, I thought I could complete it with my own strength. Now, when I think about it, it's actually the adults right. This is not just my own business, but the entire court. When the adults gave me the task, I still thought about myself, and did not regard this as a court matter, so I was convinced if I failed!"

"You guys are fine. I didn't even enter the second round!"

Ma Yu sighed from the side and said!

Situ Ren smiled and said, "Brother Ma Yu, you don't have to sigh. Didn't you say that for the benefit of the Ming Dynasty, we can sacrifice the interests of other countries and even provoke their wars. In other words, when we are abroad, we play the role of evil people, or those treacherous ministers. Brother Ma Yu, you are kind-hearted. If you let you go, you will not be able to do it. Once you fail, you will even be in danger of your life. So lord did not let you enter the second round, or he felt that you were not suitable for this. This is also the love talent of the Ming Dynasty!"

Ma Yu nodded. The adult said this before, but for nothing, it was not the life he wanted. It would be nice if he could stay in the capital and become an official, at least he would have made a fortune!

Seeing Ma Yu nodding, Situ Ren nodded and smiled, "Then I want to wish Brother Ouyang to rise to the top! I don't know how many people are looking forward to being appreciated by that adult!"

Ouyang Chengxu smiled slightly and said, "Brother Situ, you don't have to belittle yourself. Didn't you say that? He would recommend you two to enter the yamen that the Prime Minister is forming. Although I don't know what that yamen is doing now, it must be a very important yamen from the yamen, so I have reason to believe that you can also find your own place! Why not, we will find a place to sit at noon and let me take the banker, how about it?"

Situ Ren and Ma Yu turned their heads and looked at each other, and then Situ Ren smiled and said, "Then we are more respectful than obedient. Brother Ouyang, you will have to spend a lot of money at noon!"

Ouyang Chengxu laughed and said, "What's the point of silver? But we agreed that we can't drink this flower wine, otherwise we will suffer if we are caught!"

“Huh…!”

Situ Ren was surprised and said, "Why are Brother Ouyang still afraid of this? I thought Brother Ouyang, you are very brave. But then again, did you say that you have to use any beauty trick in the future. How can you not practice it well now? Well, but forget it, go and drink!"

The three of them went to the tavern like this, and everyone was happy. They drank so hard that they were dark. After all, everyone was happy. For Ouyang Chengxu, he finally won. He could go to see the emperor tomorrow. When he went to the high Golden Palace, he finally became proud!

Ma Yu and Situ Ren were actually happy. Although they lost, at least that adult had agreed to recommend them. As long as they work hard, they can also have a bright future and rise to the top!

Ma Yu had the smallest alcohol capacity, and fell down the bottom, and then Situ Ren. Ouyang Chengxu had the best alcohol capacity, so he was not drunk at the end. Seeing the two people who were drunk and sleeping there, Ouyang Chengxu shook his head slightly, and asked someone to prepare a carriage and send them back, and then he stumbled towards his home!

In the Ouyang family, there is a tense atmosphere in the whole family, especially Ouyang Ming. His son was summoned to Dongchang this morning. He heard from his son that he had decided today, but he had been there for a day and had not come back yet. It is difficult to send someone to inquire, so he has to wait now!

But this waiting is very uncomfortable. Ouyang Ming has been stomping in the room for a long time, but he still hasn't waited for Ouyang Chengxu to come back!

"Master, can you stop me? My eyes are blurred!"

The old lady couldn't help but say it first. To be honest, she was the most annoying now. She never thought that the woman's son would have such a good opportunity. And Ouyang Ming still looked full of confidence when he said this. And her husband now clearly put all his thoughts on his son. If that person really got what he wanted, then wouldn't the family have no choice but to speak?

So in her heart, what she hopes most now is that Ouyang Chengxu loses, so there will be a good show!

"Shut up!"

Ouyang Ming said angrily, and someone shouted to the servant at the door: "Go to the door and see, this second young master has not come back!"

The servant quickly agreed and hurriedly ran out. He had already run back and forth several times, and there were still people waiting there at the door!

"snort……!"

The aunt snorted angrily, of course she didn't say anything. She knew very well that no matter what she said, Ouyang Ming couldn't hear it, and maybe she would be angry with herself!

After a while, the clerk ran in and said, "Master Qi, this second young master has not come back yet!"

"Why are you running in for not coming back? Why don't you go to the door and wait!"

Ouyang Ming said angrily!

"Okay, okay, lord!"

Ouyang Chengxu's mother persuaded at this time: "Xu'er is so old, she should know that she has come back. And she went to see that adult today, so I guess she has a lot of things to do. I have been there for so long, so I think she should be back soon! You'd better sit down and take a rest first. You're tired after standing for so long!"

Ouyang Chengxu nodded, sat down, and sighed, "I don't know how this is going, I'm so anxious!"

In fact, Ouyang Ming was most worried about whether his son went to Dongchang to ask for information and would be judged as cheating by that adult. Although he believed that no, whether this would be true depends on the intention of the adult, not on the intention of himself and others. If he was really determined to be cheating, then everything he did was wasted!

No one is willing to accept this result, and Ouyang Ming naturally didn't believe it!

At noon, Ouyang Chengxu still didn't come back. Even when facing the sumptuous lunch, Ouyang Ming couldn't get any appetite. After eating a few bites, he put down his chopsticks and no longer had the intention to eat. His worry was so unpleasant to the aunt's heart!

"Father, I think you're going to eat something. This second uncle will definitely win!"

Liang Xiaoyue persuaded at this time that compared to her mother-in-law, she had no intention of not being able to see Ouyang Chengxu and her mother at all. To a large extent, it was because her mother and his mother were born the same!

"Oh...! You sister-in-law is a good person, and you are all concerned about this brother-in-law!"

The aunt couldn't help but sarcastically said that for her, she had a rare opportunity, and she was originally a mean person!

Although Liang Xiaoyue is also a woman, her personality is definitely a very stubborn person and is definitely not a good person. Even when facing her mother-in-law, to be honest, her relationship with her mother-in-law has never been very good, largely because this mother-in-law also dislikes her bad birth, and of course, she largely dislikes her mother!

He immediately said, "What's so strange about this? It's okay for everyone to care about it? Don't you want him to win? In this way, you can laugh at others?"

"What did you say!"

The aunt said angrily, "You actually talked back to me!"

"What's wrong with talking back? Are you not allowed to say justice in this family? Besides, if this second uncle wins, it will be a good thing for the Ouyang family. Why do you want your second uncle to lose?"

Liang Xiaoyue retorted without any politeness!

The aunt was so angry that her forehead was almost smoking. She said angrily: "Hmph, don't think I don't know. I usually see you and him, but I don't know what good thing it is, you...!"

"Damn it!"

Ouyang Ming could no longer hold it back and slapped the table hard. The aunt was so scared that she closed her mouth and then looked at Ouyang Ming in horror. Ouyang Ming pointed at the aunt and said angrily: "You can't spit out ivory, are you a mother-in-law like this? No one outside talks nonsense. You are a mother-in-law who is actually a mother-in-law. Are you afraid that the family style of our Ouyang family will be ruined by you?"

"Master, I...!"

The aunt was anxious now. She was so angry that she was so angry that she was so angry that she said those words, but she forgot that this was a taboo. For a family, especially a big family like the Ouyang family, the most taboo thing is that something insulting the family happens. And being a sister-in-law and her brother-in-law is even more incest, which is inconsistent. It is not allowed by nature, but it was said from her family. If it spreads, how could the Ouyang family gain a foothold in the capital? So when she heard her say such words, how could Ouyang Ming not be angry!

The aunt's face was pale and she was suddenly scared and a little at a loss. Liang Xiaoyue was even more angry and her face turned red. She stood up and turned around and went out. The Ouyang family had no choice but to stay there. She had just said a few fair words, but she was slandered by her mother-in-law. After it was spread, how could she be a human being? Let's die!

"Xiaoyue!"

Ouyang Chengmu hurriedly shouted, complaining helplessly, saying: "Mom, you are...ah!"

After saying that, he hurriedly chased after him. In fact, he knew very well that his wife and younger brother had nothing at all. And when he heard his wife say that night, he suddenly realized that his second brother had no harm to him as an official. Moreover, with his personality, it was absolutely impossible to compete with him for family property. However, his mother's words just now were indeed too much. You must know that for a woman, reputation is better than anything else, and wouldn't she say that she is cuckolded!

"You...you...you just can't control your stinky mouth. Do you want to ruin our Ouyang family? Humph..."

He said angrily, Ouyang Ming turned around and went out, and at the same time ordered: "After the second young master comes back, let him come to the study room to see me immediately!"

The old lady was also shocked. She never expected that her words would bring such consequences. You must know that this was definitely not her intention, but just a momentary verbal sarcasm!

But it was also the time when he spoke quickly that his husband scolded him, and his daughter-in-law simply left home, and his son blamed him. Thinking of this, the aunt suddenly felt very wronged. What was she doing? It was not for her son to inherit the property. In the end, she became a sinner. She left the seat in aggrieved manner and went to her room!

It was something that everyone expected that a good lunch would be like this!

When the sun sets, Ouyang Chengxu slowly walked back home with a smell of alcohol. Seeing him coming back, Ding was immediately overjoyed and immediately said, "Second Young Master, the master asked you to go to the study, he is waiting for you there!"

"wait for me?"

Ouyang Chengxu said a little surprised, then shook his head hard, and then walked to the study!

Ouyang Ming is also in the study room now. After the door opened, he saw his son appearing in his own way in a state of alcohol. He suddenly had a very bad premonition in his heart and asked, "What's wrong? Did you lose?"

"What lost?"

Ouyang Chengxu couldn't help but ask curiously, but he immediately understood, laughed and said, "I tell you, I didn't lose, I won. Tomorrow morning, Lord Wang will take me to meet the emperor!"

"You really won?"

Ouyang Ming suddenly realized that he still didn't believe it. His son was covered in alcohol. He was probably stimulated by losing!

"Of course I won, how could I lose? You don't know, Situ Ren only sold more than 50,000 taels of silver, and I, I sold 120,000 taels of silver, how could I lose? And Lord Wang didn't say that I was cheating, so I won!"

Ouyang Chengxu said with a smile, this person is already a little dizzy now. Although he is not drunk, he is drunk too much!

"Then why do you drink so much wine?"

Ouyang Ming asked in surprise!

"I'm so happy. Of course I went to drink with the other two. You don't know, they drank more, and they all drank, and I haven't even drank yet, I can still drink!"
