Chapter 76
He was lying on the table half-lying on the table while reciting the blessings in an indistinct manner, looking at him with his elbows on his chin and a smirk on his face, "Are you jealous?"
One sentence touched the eldest young master's heart.
It's really hard not to mention something! Ouyang Kang twisted his neck angrily, "What should I be jealous of? Whether I pass the exam or not is still the same thing."
Nianfu pouted, "Then you are still jealous. What can't you admit? It's human nature, why are you so hypocritical? But have you ever thought about what to do in the future? The exam is gone and we are still in the capital.
Are you awake?"
Ouyang Kang heard what she meant, "You want to leave?"
"Why should I stay?" Nianfu stopped and sat down next to him, his voice a bit dull, "I am an outsider, how dare I stay in your house for the rest of my life? Anyway, my father is gone, so I might as well go back and forget it.
.But don’t tell others about my father. I don’t want to make my mother sad, so just pretend that he hasn’t been found.”
Ouyang Kang looked at her, hesitated for a moment, and stopped talking.
However, he said generously, "Just say what you want to say. Anyway, I have already cried and I won't cry again."
Ouyang Kang's voice suddenly became dull, "Why are you doing this? Is it interesting to force a smile?"
The girl spread her hands and said, "What else can I do? Do I have to live with a sad face every day? I can tell you, I have never cried like this in front of my mother or my grandparents. This time I will show you that you have earned it, but
Don't tell others. Otherwise I will say that you took advantage of me and I have to rely on you!"
Ouyang Kang sounded a little uncomfortable at first, but then he became angry. "A girl said this too?"
"I just said it, how about it?" He raised his eyebrows in confusion. After all, he has shown this person his worst look, so what else can he do to show off?
Young Master Ouyang glared back at her fiercely, realizing that he really couldn't be angry with her.
In the past, when the girl appeared in front of him, she was always so optimistic and strong, but it wasn't until yesterday that she threw herself in his arms and cried bitterly. He didn't know that this girl was not incapable of being sad or hurt. She was just
He hid all his sadness and sadness.
She didn't cry when life was hard; she didn't cry when someone broke off her engagement; it wasn't that she didn't want to cry. It was because she was afraid that her relatives would worry, so she held back her tears and told herself that it was okay, it was okay.
Just like himself.
Growing up, Ouyang Kang had envied many times that other people had parents, but he didn't. But every time he showed such an expression, his grandmother would always cry secretly behind his back.
Later, he gradually became wiser and would never show such an expression again or cry in front of others.
But doesn’t not crying mean that you won’t be sad?
of course not.
Ouyang Kang understood very well why Nianfu cried so sadly when she found out that the father she had been thinking about might have deceived them. Because for every child, a father will always be a mountain-like existence. Even if there is no mother,
I am generally gentle, but with him around, my heart is always at ease, as if I always have a backer and a hope.
But once the mountain collapses and all hope is gone, how can people not cry?
Ouyang Kang felt strange and uncomfortable in his heart. He thought for a long time and then said, "Don't be so sad. Maybe your father... he also has some reasons for his last resort."
"Maybe. Forget it, let's not talk about him. Let's get serious, do you want to leave?"
This question stumped Ouyang Kang.
Don't leave. He is obviously not welcome here, so what's the point of staying? But if he goes back, how will it be his home? Besides, when he came out, the whole family knew that he came here to pursue his future. Now everything
If he didn't do it, what kind of face would he have to take back?
Nianfu thought about it seriously for him, "Your situation is actually more embarrassing than mine. At any rate, no one will not welcome me when I go home. But if you go back like this, your life will be difficult. It's better to stay."
Come down and find a way out in the capital."
Ouyang Kang was shocked, "So you had already planned it? Then you plan to go back alone?"
Nian Fu nodded matter-of-factly, "Don't worry, I'll find a passing merchant to take me for a ride. If you're worried, wait until Lan Gu and the others come, and ask Lan Gu or Mo Yun to go back with me."
"No!" Young Master Ouyang flatly refused with a dark face.
"Why?" Sister Mu was dumbfounded.
"No, it just won't work. How can there be so many reasons?" Young Master Ouyang refused to answer.
Xuancheng.
July 18th is a big day for the candidates in the capital, and it is also an auspicious day for the people here. Although the weather is indeed a bit hot, there are several families in the city who are marrying off their wives and daughters.
The golden matchmaker is really busy today. As the leading gold medal matchmaker in Xuancheng and the designated official matchmaker, many people who said they would be their matchmakers have found her today. There are also several people who have already held weddings and want to join in the fun.
She ran to three houses in the morning, ate half a banquet in a hurry at noon, and started running again before she had time to take a break. There was nothing she could do, the reward from this house was large, and she would be embarrassed if she didn't put in some effort.
Arriving at the gate of the residence of Tongzhi Yao in Xuancheng with her birth date in hand, Matchmaker Jin wiped the sweat from the tip of her nose in the car, took out her small bronze mirror and touched up her makeup, straightened her clothes before getting out of the car.
She has a face that she is accustomed to visiting in wealthy families in the city, and all the servants at the door will recognize her. As soon as they met, she would joke with a smile, "You have made a fortune today, right? It's a pity that we are still miserable in the sun!"
"
"Stop talking nonsense! Go and inform your Fifth Madam quickly. I will never let you down if there are benefits."
The King of Hell is easy to meet, but the kid is difficult to deal with. It is not worth delaying business for them. Besides, the golden matchmaker really felt weak after receiving the red envelope today, so she generously gave out a bunch of money and divided it among the servants.
Money means easy work. After a while, Matchmaker Jin entered the gate of Yao Mansion and followed the little maid to the fifth lady's yard.
But before I even entered the door, I heard the teasing sounds of the men and women in the room. Even though the golden matchmaker was experienced in the world, she couldn't help but secretly cursed to herself. It was such a hot day and it was still midday, so she didn't feel tired! You can weigh it in your pocket.
She still controlled her expression and didn't reveal any of her money.
She went to the side room to drink a bowl of tea slowly, and finally heard a maid coming out to ask for water. She knew that she could go into the room to talk.
Lying on the couch in the room was a beautiful woman wearing a light purple shirt. She was about thirty years old, but she was still very beautiful. Especially her face, which still had the flush of spring, and her round, snow-white lips.
The plump breasts almost want to jump out of the light summer shirt embroidered with complicated patterns, looking extremely alluring.
The kiln sister is the kiln sister, even if she becomes an official's wife, she can't escape this mean character! Jin Matchmaker is contemptuous in her heart, but she is polite and flattering on her face.
"Okay, okay, there's no need to say these kind words. Now that I'm going to be a grandma, I'm still young and beautiful." The fifth lady sat up lazily with a hint of pride, "Just in time, you won't be here today.
Come, I'm going to send someone to invite you too."
The golden matchmaker paused and felt a little bad, "Madam, why are you looking for me?"
The fifth lady glanced at her, half-smiling, "Isn't it because of our sixth sister's marriage? I originally said that we could marry an ordinary local family. But our master refused to agree. It's also my fault that I didn't take this girl seriously.
Our master invited guests to dinner that day, but who would have thought that this girl accidentally happened to be seen by the governor in the garden. Alas, let’s not talk about it, it’s all fate that harms people. Now I don’t want to get married anymore. I have no choice but to
I ask you to go and talk to the governor’s wife and let him pick you up on a good day.”
Matchmaker Jin's face twitched uncontrollably, and after thinking for a while, she said, "Originally, I didn't dare to say goodbye to Madam because she was entrusted with her. But I have never had any dealings with the Governor's Madam. I was afraid that I would slap Madam in the face if I went there."
, so I dare not respond.”
The fifth lady glanced at her and became obviously cold, "That's all, do you have anything else?"
Matchmaker Jin was puzzled, "Ordinarily, Madam just said that, so she shouldn't mention it, but after all, she was entrusted by someone, so..."
"Sorry, I'm tired. I'm seeing guests off!"
After being invited out of the Yao Mansion, Matchmaker Jin became very angry.
Bah! There are really no rules. How can a brothel bitch like this be admitted into the house and manage the family? Which serious family would let an aunt come out to discuss the marriage of their children?
What kind of accidental collision? It is clear that the Yao family wanted to curry favor with their boss and deliberately took their daughter to present treasures. They must have thought that other families were as unruly as theirs, and that they could coax the old man and control the family business by relying on their youth and beauty. Be him
Go away with your spring and autumn dream! The wife of the governor is not a good person. She has children and a daughter, and she comes from a famous family. She is not a dull and useless woman like the serious Mrs. Yao.
The golden matchmaker was angry and ordered the coachman to go to the Hou Mansion.
Madam Hou was waiting for the good news at home, but she saw Matchmaker Jin coming in angrily, and she opened her mouth and said, "Madam, you said you had already made an agreement with the Yao family, why did they kick me out when I went there?"
Ah? Madam Hou was dumbfounded. She waited for the golden matchmaker to explain the matter clearly in a few words. Madam Hou felt panicked in her heart, "She...she has already received a full five thousand taels of silver from me, and she still dares to go back on her word? Will she refund the money?"
?”
Humph! Matchmaker Jin sneered in her heart, "I am a matchmaker, not a matchmaker. If Madam has any financial dealings, you'd better find someone else to ask. Anyway, the Fifth Madam has never mentioned this matter to me, so I'll take my leave."
Matchmaker Jin turned around and left, leaving Mrs. Hou with a pale face. She was shivering from the cold on a hot day and could hardly even stand. She quickly ordered people to invite Hou Xianglin back. Hou Xianglin was so angry that he immediately raised his legs and stood up.
Go, "I'll come find her!"
A full five thousand taels is not a small sum for the Hou family.
But this time, the couple couldn't even get through the gate of Yao Mansion.
The fifth lady only sent a housekeeper to speak, "You said that our lady took your family's money, do you have an IOU? If not, it is a false accusation against the imperial official. Believe it or not, our lord can immediately put you in jail and face the lawsuit!"
