"Bah, you still know I'm going to throw you away?"
Chi Yanei walked forward with his hands behind his back, and was about to order his boys to throw Du Changfeng back into the river. Du Changfeng shivered in fright, hugged the wood tightly and said weakly:
"I am a Jinke Jinshi, you can't use civilians to offend officials!"
"You're just a man, you're still an official, who are you to blame?"
Chi Yanei and the other servants did not believe that Du Xiazi, who was well-known in the academy, could still pass the Jinshi examination. Just as they were about to continue taking action, Du Changfeng quickly explained:
"I am really a Jinshi in Jinke. Well, the official list is still posted there. I, I am the twenty-seventh of the second class. My name is Du Changfeng. You can check it out!"
Seeing Du Changfeng's words, Chi Yanei was stunned for a moment. He never expected that Du Changfeng, who was as blind as a blind man, could pass the Jinshi examination and be ranked twenty-seventh in the second class.
The boy next to him immediately advised:
"Ya Nei, I think he really seems to be a Jinshi!"
"Yes, Yameni, we can't use the people to offend the officials!"
Looking at Du Changfeng, who was so weak and embarrassed, Chi Yamen felt extremely angry. Du Xiazi, who was still not worth mentioning before, has now become a Jinshi and has become someone who cannot be provoked by Chi Pan or Chi Yamen at will.
Official, even for a small 27th-ranked Jinshi, not to mention Xiao Fan's powerful father Xiao Qinyan. Thinking of this, Chi Yanei felt discouraged and looked at the extremely embarrassed person.
Du Changfeng waved his hands and said helplessly:
"Let him go!"
Seeing that Chi Yanei did not dare to do anything to him, Du Changfeng stood up from the ground and stopped holding the wood. He cupped his hands towards Chi Yanei and said with a proud smile on his face:
"Thank you, Thirteenth Young Master!"
Hearing the disgusting nickname "Thirteenth Young Master" again, Chi Yanei was filled with hatred, but Du Changfeng, who was so arrogant when he succeeded, had no choice. He was about to order his servants to kill this Du Changfeng.
After being driven out, Du Changfeng suddenly retched several times and coughed endlessly. In the end, he spit out a fresh large grass shrimp, which was still in his palm.
Du Changfeng was immediately frightened by the leaping transparent giant shrimp. Chiya Nei and the other servants were also dumbfounded. This was the first time they had seen this big living person spitting out live shrimps. It was indeed a masterpiece of Jinke.
Jinshi, you can do what others cannot!
Du Changfeng left. He held the big grass shrimp in his hand and left Shuangxi Building. He went home and changed into clean clothes. Then he held the big grass shrimp in his hand and went to the small courtyard where Ouyang Xu lived. When he saw Ouyang
Xu, Du Changfeng told the whole story angrily, and finally said with an angry look on his face:
"Shrimp, such a big shrimp spit out from my mouth, which makes me feel ashamed!"
After listening to Du Changfeng's words and looking at the grass shrimp he was still holding in his hand, Ouyang Xu said with a smile while packing up the books:
"Brother Du, don't you think this shrimp is suitable for you?"
As he said that, Ouyang Xu pointed at his eyes. It was self-evident what he meant. Seeing that Ouyang Xu not only did not comfort him, but also made fun of his blindness, Du Changfeng threw the big grass shrimp aside in anger.
He said with an unhappy face:
"Brother Ouyang, I'm not showing you this to make you laugh at me. I want to prove that I was really made miserable by them!"
"Okay, okay, I know, Brother Du is also doing it for my own good, but do you still remember how I persuaded you to come here before?"
With that said, Ouyang Xu looked at Du Changfeng who was still stunned and joked:
"Why are you still standing there? Come over quickly and help me, we have shrimp tonight!"
"Here."
Looking at Ouyang Xu who was still smiling, Du Changfeng lowered his head and sighed, shook his head and said:
"Forget it, just cook it and eat it tonight!"
After that, Du Changfeng helped Ouyang Xu pack up the books in the room and muttered:
"But it's true that you tried to dissuade me again and again, but I didn't listen and that's why I got into this embarrassing situation. But why are these two little ladies so powerful?"
Ouyang Xu did not speak, but silently packed away the books piled up in the room. Du Changfeng continued:
"However, Brother Ouyang, for the sake of our feeling like old friends at first sight, you should listen to my brother's advice. This Zhao Pan'er, let alone taking her as a concubine, you'd better never see her again. She and Xiao
."
Du Changfeng couldn't say the dirty words behind them. He knew that Ouyang Xu liked Zhao Pan'er, but Zhao Pan'er was targeted by Yuan Xudong again. The relationship between the two people was very close at first glance. Maybe they had experienced it a long time ago.
It was a happy relationship, and it was precisely because of this that Du Changfeng did not tell Ouyang Xu anything about Yuan Xudong. He was afraid that Ouyang Xu would lose his mind and go to Yuan Xudong to trouble him, and he might be suppressed by the Xiao family in the end.
It is possible that you will not be able to obtain official status, or even be killed and silenced!
Ouyang Xu still didn't know the relationship between Zhao Pan'er and Yuan Xudong. He thought that Zhao Pan'er had always loved him and only fell out because he couldn't marry him as his wife. He sighed slightly and said regretfully:
"Pan'er is a good girl, and I really like her. It's the biggest regret in my life that I can't give her the gift of a married woman. Let's not talk about this anymore. You just said that a woman pushed you down the Bianhe River.
Yes, do you remember what that woman looks like?"
"Uh, let me think about it!"
Du Changfeng recalled while packing up his books:
"She must be in her thirties, and she talks like a firecracker. By the way, I remember Zhao Pan'er seemed to call her Sanniang!"
"Sun Sanniang?"
Hearing that Sun Sanniang had also followed Zhao Paner to Tokyo, Ouyang Xu was slightly shocked and couldn't help but murmured to himself, wondering:
"Why did she come to Tokyo with Pan'er?"
Seeing Ouyang Xu frowning slightly and his face turning serious, Du Changfeng couldn't help but worry for him and said:
"What's wrong, isn't she difficult to deal with? Am I, am I causing trouble for you?"
Hearing this, Ouyang Xu came back to his senses and smiled slightly:
"That's not true, Brother Du, you have done me a great favor by making such a mistake!"
"ah?"
Hearing what Ouyang Xu said, Du Changfeng couldn't help but said:
"How much have I helped you?"
"You helped me."
Before Ouyang Xu could say anything, at this moment, a young man outside the door entered the courtyard and announced:
"Ouyang Official, Madam Gao is here to visit!"
When he heard that the Gao family's wife was visiting, Du Changfeng couldn't help but joked to Ouyang Xu:
"Hey, the future lady has come to meet the future official?"
"Brother Du, you have to find a place to hide for a while!"
Ouyang Xu said nervously.
"No, I haven't seen this tall lady yet?"
"With the look in your eyes, it doesn't make much difference whether I've seen you or not!"
"No, no, I'll just take a look, just take a look!"
"No need to look, thank you for bothering me, Brother Du!"
Pushing Du Changfeng behind the screen, Ouyang Xu hurriedly tidied up his clothes, and then walked out in person to greet Gao Hui, Gao Kuan's only daughter. In the yard, Ouyang Xugang just walked out of the main hall, and saw the bright-looking and charming Gao family.
Qianjin walked into Ouyang Xu's small house accompanied by the maid and wet nurse. When he saw Gao Hui, Ouyang Xu hurriedly bent down to salute and said respectfully:
"I've seen Mrs. Gao!"
"When I entered the palace today, I got a piece of good ink from my aunt, so I thought of sending it to you. Take a look. Do you like it?"
Gao Hui walked towards the house, handed Ouyang Xu a piece of good ink and said with a sweet smile.
Ouyang Xu took the ink and followed Gao Hui respectfully:
"The ink of the Concubine Xian is naturally a rare treasure in the world. How can it be given to a disciple of Chaimen like me?"
"What's there? It's just a piece of ink!"
Walking up the steps in front of the main hall, Gao Hui suddenly turned around, looked down at Ouyang Xuqiao and said with a smile:
"When we get married in the future, when we go to the palace to express our gratitude, it won't be difficult to go to the officials to ask for some royal ink. Also, I've told you so many times, don't be so outspoken in the future, call me Ah.
Hui, do you remember?"
"Then I'd better call you Huiniang, okay?"
Ouyang Xu smiled slightly.
"Oh well!"
Gao Huiqiao nodded with a smile and walked into the room. She sat in front of Ouyang Xu's desk, looked at his books and said with a smile:
"I haven't seen you for a few days. Do you miss me?"
"I"
Looking at the enthusiastic Gao Hui, Ouyang Xu was speechless for a moment. How could a lady from a well-known family ask such a question to a young man? Just when he didn't know how to answer, the wet nurse Jiang standing next to Gao Hui immediately reminded Gao Hui:
"girl!"
Glancing at her wet nurse, Gao Hui couldn't help curling her lips and complaining:
"It's true what you said about the prince. He never gets sick sooner or later. However, he had to wait until the official announced our marriage before he became seriously ill. Otherwise, we should have gotten married by now!"
Hearing Gao Hui's rebellious words, her wet nurse couldn't help coughing as a reminder:
"Girl, please be careful what you say!"
"Okay, wet nurse, there are no outsiders here, tell me what's wrong with the prince?"
Gao Hui rolled his eyes at his wet nurse, but he didn't take it seriously. Instead, he said even more fiercely:
"He is not the current queen's biological son, so what are you afraid of?"
As he spoke, Gao Hui picked up his brush, dipped it in ink, and started scribbling on Ouyang Xu's book. Ouyang Xu saw Gao Hui ruining his book collection, and he hesitated several times, but in the end he couldn't say a word.
Dare to say more, he just stood respectfully in front of his desk, waiting for Gao Hui to lecture. Standing next to Gao Hui, Jiang glanced at Ouyang Xu, then looked at Gao Hui and reminded:
"Girl, just talk about the business!"
"good!"
Hearing the wet nurse's reminder, Gao Hui put down her pen, looked at Ouyang Xu and asked softly:
"Xu Lang, I heard from my servant that you seemed to be talking to a woman at the door of our house this morning. Who is she?"
After saying that, both Gao Hui and Jiang looked at Ouyang Xu's expression carefully. Ouyang Xu's eyes flickered twice and he asked hesitantly:
"Huiniang, which lady are you talking about?"
Seeing Gao Hui and Jiang looking at him with a slight frown, Ouyang Xu hurriedly said:
"Oh, I remembered. You must be talking about Sister-in-law Wang. I have rented their house before. This morning, I happened to meet her at the door of your house. I talked to her for a while. Hui
Mom, me and."
"Okay, no matter if it's Sister-in-law Wang or any other little lady, as long as she's good to you, she's my Gao Hui noble!"
Looking at Ouyang Xu who was speaking dazzlingly, Gao Hui was not a little lady who didn't understand anything. She stood up and walked to Ouyang Xu to test:
"By the way, I didn't have time to say it when we got engaged. I'm definitely not the kind of jealous person. If you have any confidante before, you might as well bring them to Beijing as soon as possible. I will be compatible with them and live in harmony with each other in the future.
Wouldn't it be a beautiful thing to recite poems, paint, and study female celebrities together?"
Looking at Gao Hui who was smiling coquettishly, Ouyang Xu couldn't help but feel shocked. He knew that Gao Hui was beginning to doubt him, and coming to deliver ink was just an excuse. The purpose was to find out the relationship between him and Zhao Pan'er.
While Ouyang Xu was thinking carefully, Du Changfeng, who was hiding behind the screen, suddenly made a movement. Gao Hui and her wet nurse were startled. They didn't expect there were other people in the room. Jiang immediately walked towards the screen and shouted:
"Come out, who is hiding where?"
"Don't worry, it's not an outsider, it's Uncle De, the housekeeper who has taken care of me since childhood!"
Ouyang Xu hurriedly stood in front of the screen and explained:
"He has been suffering from measles these past few days, so I arranged for him to rest in the penthouse!"
"Measles, measles?"
Hearing that there was a measles patient in Ouyang Xu's house, Gao Hui's wet nurse Jiang was startled and pulled Gao Hui to leave. Ouyang Xu was afraid that the Gao family would dislike him, so he hurriedly explained:
"It's not serious. You'll be fine in a few days!"
With that said, he shouted to Du Changfeng who was hiding behind the screen:
"Uncle De, I know what you mean. I will definitely keep in mind the Ouyang family's family motto and never tolerate two colors in my life!"
"Xu Lang, is it true?"
Seeing that Ouyang Xu was speaking extremely seriously, although Gao Hui was not stupid, she was a virgin with no love experience after all. For a moment, she was moved by Ouyang Xu's sincerity. Seeing Ouyang Xu nod slightly, Gao Hui was shy.
road:
"But, I heard before that there are many young ladies who like to mess with you?"
At this moment, before Ouyang Xu could continue to speak sweet words, the wet nurse Jiang standing next to Gao Hui said in a calm voice:
"If Mr. Ouyang can keep his word, that would be the best. The girl is my master's only daughter. She has been pampered since she was a child and has never suffered even the slightest grievance. Can you understand me?"
"Understood, Ouyang understands!"
Ouyang Xu bowed his hands towards Gao Hui's wet nurse, Mrs. Jiang, and responded respectfully. Seeing his respectful attitude, Mrs. Jiang nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Gao Hui and reminded:
"Girl, it's time for us to leave. The banquet at Princess Xianping's mansion cannot be delayed for a moment!"
"Oh, it's taken me so long, nanny, please go outside and wait for me!"
"Okay, I'll wait outside, girl, hurry up!"
"Okay, got it!"
After her wet nurse left, Gao Hui looked at Ouyang Xu, smiled brightly, and boldly invited her:
"Then, Xu Lang, I'll wait for you to take me to Qinghui Garden to enjoy the peach blossoms the day after tomorrow?"
"Okay, definitely!"
Ouyang Xu looked at the excited Gao Hui and smiled reluctantly.
"Well, definitely!"
After receiving Ouyang Xu's reply, Gao Hui couldn't help but become happy, and skipped out with her skirt in hand. Ouyang Xu kept bending over, holding hands with each other until Gao Hui disappeared as she came, accompanied by the maid and wet nurse.
When he didn't see it, he straightened up, with a look of exhaustion on his face, and sighed softly. Ouyang Xu looked at Du Changfeng, who was still hiding behind the screen, and said in a calm voice:
"They're gone, come out!"
"You!"
Du Changfeng came out from behind the screen and asked with a puzzled face:
"Didn't you say that you have always regretted not being able to treat Mrs. Zhao as a royal wife? Since Mrs. Gao has said it just now, why didn't you say that you did have a confidante before and wanted to marry her as an equal wife?"
"Do you really think Gao Hui can let Pan'er be my equal wife?"
Ouyang Xu said with a smile.
"How is it impossible? A concubine is just a nice word, but she is still a concubine in the family tree. I just heard that this young lady is well-educated and reasonable, so maybe she can agree to it?"
Du Changfeng shook his head and continued:
"Be neither jealous nor jealous, this is the style of a famous family!"
"Do you really think she's not jealous?"
Looking at Du Changfeng, Ouyang Xu sighed softly and said:
"Do you still remember the last time we went to Second Lieutenant Yang's house together?"
"Remember, there is a young lady from the Su family, the girl from Su Xingyuan on the third list, she is giving you plum blossoms!"
"Yes, that's her!"
Ouyang Xu continued:
"Three days after she sent the plum blossoms, she accidentally fell down when she went out. From then on, she lost sight of her left eye. At first, I thought it was just a coincidence. Later, at the Luming Banquet, I threatened to kill the little girl.
My daughter was betrothed to my school secretary, Mr. Gong, and something happened to his family. When his youngest daughter was going on a boat trip, the boat unexpectedly capsized. Although she was saved, her clothes were soaked and she was still injured a lot.
People saw it, so she was humiliated and had no choice but to become a nun!"
"So you think all of this has something to do with Gao Hui?"
After hearing what Ouyang Xu said, Du Changfeng said in disbelief:
"No way, I heard Miss Gao's voice is as sweet and sweet as that of a lark. How can such a little lady be so cruel and ruthless?"
"Brother Du doesn't know something. As the saying goes, you know people but don't know their hearts. Although Gao Hui looks sweet, she is jealous and ruthless. Her father is a high-ranking official in the court, and her aunt is the favorite concubine of the official family. She should be
She just feels that everything in the world should be taken away from her, including me!"
"this"
Du Changfeng didn't know what to say, so Ouyang Xu continued to arrange Gao Hui and said:
"Brother Du, think about it, this Jinshi's sister, the daughter of a sixth-grade official, will do whatever she says. So if I dare to disobey her from a poor family, what will she do to me? And Pan'er, she
How can we let Pan'er go?"
Hearing this, Du Changfeng couldn't help but asked doubtfully:
"Now that things are like this, do you still dare to take Mrs. Zhao as your concubine?"
"Oh, actually I said that just to deliberately anger Pan'er. I know her too well, how can she bear the insult of reducing her wife to a concubine!"
Looking at Du Changfeng, Ouyang Xu said with emotion:
"As long as Pan'er walks away, as long as Gao Hui doesn't know Pan'er's existence, I can keep her safe. I, Ouyang Xu, have nothing else to ask for, as long as Pan'er can be safe!"
"I see, it turns out you want to protect her!"
Seeing that Ouyang Xu could be so affectionate for Zhao, and would rather sacrifice himself to protect Zhao Paner, Du Changfeng was moved and murmured:
"You want to make Mrs. Zhao angry and leave Tokyo. No wonder Xiao Fan also said that you are an ungrateful villain who wants to cling to the powerful. I think he is the one who judges the heart of a gentleman with a villain's heart. Like him
How can a despicable person like you understand your great love of sacrificing yourself for others, Brother Ouyang?"
Speaking of this, Du Changfeng patted Ouyang Xu on the shoulder and sighed:
"Brother Ouyang, I feel wronged to you. You made such sacrifices for the Zhao family, but she..."
Before he finished speaking, Du Changfeng stopped abruptly and said:
