Broken garden.

Guan Yaozu, a well-informed person, ran over again, "When will you get the barbecue you promised at your house? Don't marry a new man and the matchmaker will throw it over the wall."

Ouyang Kang put down the book in his hand in anger, "Why do you remember to eat all day long? Use snacks at a little while. The imperial edict has been issued. There will be a big exam at the end of March. You have to take some test as you want. Have an explanation to your father?"

Guan Yaozu said seriously, "That's why you have to eat better. If you don't eat well, how can you have the strength to take the exam?"

Ouyang Kang couldn't say anything about him and said helplessly, "Then I'll send someone to ask me when she's available. But I don't dare to guarantee this. You know, since you've gotten married, you have to avoid suspicion."

Guan Yaozu quickly pretended to come over to grind the ink for him, "Just write a letter, guaranteeing that your father-in-law agrees. When you finish writing, I will tell you something good."

Ouyang Kang felt it was strange and stopped writing, "What the hell is it?"

Guan Yaozu still wanted to keep it in a silence, but heard that Princess Jiashan had sent someone.

When Mr. Guan was happy, he thought it was something delicious, so he rushed to greet him, but unexpectedly he brought back a large bag of books.

When I opened it, I saw that it was full of serious books, not even a small note, but there were many annotations. Ouyang Kang was puzzled. When did his family start to become interested in these people?

But Guan Yaozu sighed, "After all, my father-in-law is in love, the treatment is immediately different."

Ouyang Kang was even more confused, but Mr. Guan forced him to write a letter to Nianfu and asked the person to take him back. Only then did he tell him the truth.

It turned out that Mu Shaoqin went out today not for others, but for Ouyang Kang, and went to find Pei Xingyan, the Imperial College Superintendent.

Although Ouyang Kang is Su Cheng's personal disciple, he also usually takes the Imperial College and various exams, so Pei Xingyan still knows his true level.

Guan Yaozu couldn't find out what they said, but Prince Ping went to find his husband. Pei Yaoqing reported to him. Mr. Guan used his brain to know why.

When Ouyang Kang looked at the big bag of books in his hand again, it was probably his weak subjects, and then he suddenly realized it in his heart.

Guan Yaozu finally told him, "No matter how well I did in the exam, my father has decided to throw me into the Imperial Guard to suffer. Your father-in-law must have ideas about you in the future. Why not ask your husband earlier and tell him where he wants to go, and I think your father-in-law can't do it."

But this... isn't it a nepotism route?

Young Master Ouyang is an ambitious young man, and he is a little depressed about such kindness.

It’s not that he doesn’t understand his father-in-law’s kindness, but young people are more willing to make a breakthrough by relying on their own abilities than to be called a wife.

Let’s look at the books my father-in-law sent. Ouyang Kang didn’t even dare to read them. What if there were test questions in it? Don’t doubt it. Ouyang Kang believes that as long as his father-in-law wants to do it, he will definitely get these things.

But the fame he obtained in this way was not what he wanted. So he secretly hid the matter, and even Su Cheng didn't tell him. He still studied his books hard.

But under the roof, is it so easy to do something small under the shrewd Mr. Su, who is so smart,? What's more, the parents can't ask if they don't ask? Su Cheng soon learned the truth and took Ouyang Kang into the study and scolded him.

I am really stupid in reading. If you want to be noble, don’t take the path of official career at all!

Since the day Ouyang Kang and Nianfu got married, this nepotism has been tied up. No matter whether Ouyang Kang has achieved future achievements through his own efforts, he will never be able to get rid of it. In this case, why not use this nepotism relationship?

Society is composed of people, no matter what you do, after all, it is still a human being.

Why did a person who was so pure and desireless in the past run around for Ouyang Kang? In addition to feeling sorry for his daughter, it was also because Mu Shaoqin knew the rules of the game clearly.

Nianfu is no matter how successful she is, she is a woman and cannot enter the court. If her husband is not strong, when the emperor gets old and the throne is replaced in the future, how can she save her family business?

On the surface, Mu Shaoqin is now supporting Ouyang Kang, but in the long run, Mu Shaoqin is cultivating a protective umbrella for the Mu family in the future.

"A family still requires men to stand outside and women to be respected. Now you want to put aside your father-in-law and fight yourself, so I have to ask you, how many years have you have to fight to be worthy of a princess?"

Ouyang Kang was speechless to the husband. When he thought about it carefully, he was indeed a nerd.

Even if I don’t rely on Mu Shaoqin, can I not rely on Su Cheng?

There were many people who got the exam in Wang Can that day, but how many people could be valued now? Let’s talk about Wang Can. Although he did well in the exam, if there weren’t people from the Wang family running for him in the court, could he become a Zhongshu Sheren?

If he still has to rely on his husband's help, why would he refuse his father-in-law's help?

If he wants to marry Nianfu, the outside world has already branded the Prince Ping’s Mansion on him. If he refuses, who else will believe it except himself?

"I was attached to the image."

Seeing that he was indeed regretful, Su Chengheng pointed out a more important point to him at a glance, "Have you ever thought about it? The Mu family is a relative. As a relative, what should we do to reassure the king? Mu Jie'er's reputation is already good enough. Do you still want to add icing on the cake?"

Ouyang Kang was stunned, and after an sudden enlightenment, he suddenly felt cold sweat. "Thank you, sir, for your advice, otherwise the student would have almost misled his father-in-law's hard work and made a big mistake!"

As a minister, especially a relative of the foreigners, you must have weaknesses to reassure the king. Before, Mu Shaoqin did not find his biological daughter, and all kinds of pretending to be dead in the back door are the most sympathetic.

But now he has found Nianfu, and this daughter has already accumulated a lot of popularity after opening a store in Taipei City. She has helped to provide disaster relief and porridge. What if she has another husband who is noble and unrestrained and worried about the country and the people?

You will definitely be attacked by someone with ulterior motives! What do you want to do when your family is doing so well?

So Mu Shaoqin would take the initiative to run for his son-in-law. He also deliberately gave others a handle to attack Pingwang Mansion and Ouyang Kang. Otherwise, if he really wanted to hide, how could he find Pei Xingyan before he could let Guan Yaozu spread the news?

Although Guan Yaozu usually laughs and doesn't have a good appearance, he still comes from an official family under the emperor's feet, and this kind of problem is clearer than him.

If you have any ideas, why not just ask your father-in-law to go to the emperor to say it. Although this is the most shameless, it is also the way that the king likes the most. After all, the selfishness on the table is much more reassuring than the ambitions hidden.

Su Cheng finally warned his disciples earnestly, "It doesn't matter how you become an official. What matters is that you sit in that position and do something for the country and the people. There are many talented people in this world who have no chance to show their opportunities. Now there are people who support you and hold you like this, so don't you not know how to cherish it."

Ouyang Kang was taught. After thanking him again, he went back honestly to read the book given by his father-in-law.

A few days later, I received the news that Mr. Guan Xinnian’s barbecue conference will be held at the Pingwang Mansion.

Ouyang Kang originally thought it was just a small event, but his family was very unambiguous in reciting blessings. He sent invitations to Guan Yaozu and his group of young men, as well as noble ladies from the capital such as Yongning in Deqing, all of them were invited to visit.

The reason is very high-sounding.

She became sworn sisters with Princess Norenna and hadn't served up a serious drink. Now Norenna is ready to go back and must have some fun, which can be considered a practice for her.

Then, the two emperor nieces, Princess Deqing and Princess Changle, were about to get married. As her little aunt, she should also organize a party to let the sisters have fun.

In fact, these are just excuses. The most important signal sent by the banquet is that Prince Ping’s Mansion will return to the public and no longer be the relative who only cares about living his own life behind closed doors.

Of course, such social activities are completely normal, and there is no suspicion of making friends with powerful people. However, anyone with discerning eyes can see that the amazing energy hidden in this event is because it is a formal and public important gathering that connects the feelings of the younger generation in Beijing.

Because of Princess Jiashan’s unique experience and identity, only she has the qualification to hold this grand event without being criticized.

The entire capital aristocratic circle was paying attention to whether their families could receive invitations, but those who did not receive them began to rack their brains to find ways to get in touch with the people who received the invitations in order to bring their children in.

Just like Mr. Guan, he was originally a bachelor, but the number of participants reported to Nianfu was as high as six men and four women. He could join him to form a football team.

The Guan family is also very embarrassed, but what should I do? They are all relatives and children who cannot be pushed away. And there are more things that are secretly rejected by them.

Of course, the only one with the thickest face is Guan Yaozu. The others still remember to be sensible, and at most two or three people came with them. But that's how it made Nianfu's budget soar. In the end, he had to choose the banquet location in the large garden where Kang Jierong lived.

In addition to saying hello to Mrs. Ouyang, Nianfu said that he wanted to borrow some people from the Poyuan, and also arrested Guan Yaozu and asked his family to do some efforts. Mr. Guan brought so much food for free, so he naturally had nothing to say. He also thoughtfully said, "Do you want to bring some food and a few chefs?"

The purpose of stealing the stolen master should not be too obvious.

However, Nianfu didn't need his help. He had already decided that the banquet would be mainly a semi-buy barbecue and served with snacks, so it could be easily handled.

But Young Master Ouyang is very miserable.

Everyone can go to such a grand event, but he must avoid suspicion and cannot go. He can only read books alone at home and feel miserable.

Before leaving, Xiao Mumei looked at him sympathetically, "Brother, I will bring you something delicious."

Ouyang Qing chuckled and patted the huge food box, "Look, I'm ready."

But this cannot comfort Ouyang’s hurt heart. So many young people’s gatherings must be fun, but he can only stay at home and suffer.

According to Guan Yaozu's unfaithful words, Prince Ping's Mansion built a pear blossom forest for this grand event. The flowers bloomed like a fairyland.

Ouyang Kang was even more sad.

The old lady smiled and said, "You have a long life in the future. You can't stand it if you don't let you go this time. Will you not even go to court in the future and stay at home to accompany your wife all day?"

Ouyang Kang blushed to his grandmother and hid back in the room to read books. But in the end, his heart couldn't calm down. He imagined the grand occasion there and yearned for it.

But before the song ended there, visitors came to him.
