Great Song Super Scholar

Chapter 387

When Fan Ning came to the gate, he saw a young woman standing under the steps at a glance. She had a beautiful face and was unsurpassed in beauty. It was Ouyang Qian whom she hadn't seen in several years. She was accompanied by a little maid who lived in Ouyang's mansion. The little maid I saw.

"Sister Qian!"

Fan Ning yelled in surprise, and hurried up to meet him.

A smile appeared on Ouyang Qian's face, and she bestowed a blessing, "Ouyang Qian, a folk girl, will meet Fan Zhizhou!"

Fan Ning was stunned for a moment, and said a little dissatisfied: "What is Sister Qian talking about, and now that I have resigned, I am no longer Zhizhou, you still call me Aning."

"Okay! Ah Ning, I didn't know you were back until I read the "Tabolo" at noon."

"I came back yesterday afternoon!"

Fan Ning pointed to the front, "The front is Qingfeng Teahouse, let's go and sit there."

Ouyang Qian nodded slightly, and Fan Ning walked in front. After a while, the three of them entered the teahouse and sat down in a private room, but Ouyang Qian's little maid obediently sat outside and waited.

Fan Ning ordered a pot of good tea and two plates of dim sum, and asked the waiter to bring some tea to the little maid.

At this time, Ouyang Qian took out half of the jade pendant from the pouch, put it on the table, and pushed it to Fan Ning, "Thank you for your help in the past two years, you have helped me a lot. I spent 800 taels of silver, and I will pay you in the future." Back to you,"

Fan Ning's face sank, and he pushed the jade pendant back to her, and said unhappily, "You think I'm hot-headed? Everything has a cause and effect. Today I help you to be the result, but the cause is what you planted back then. Maybe that A few days are not important to you, but they are to me, and I always think I have a responsibility to you."

Ouyang Qian's eyes turned red, she quickly lowered her head, and whispered: "This will make your wife uncomfortable."

"I know what to do, but you must listen to me and put away the jade pendant!"

Fan Ning domineeringly stuffed half of the jade pendant into Ouyang Qian's hands. Although Fan Ning's words were very domineering, Ouyang Qian felt a hint of sweetness in her heart. Fan Ning still cared about herself and loved herself. She nodded slightly and put the jade pendant Put it back in your embroidery bag.

In fact, Ouyangqian's stepmother didn't give her a penny, and she was only allowed to live and eat at home. The accommodation was better. She had her own small courtyard and could enter and exit through the east gate. No one could see or worry, but She was often stared at while eating, and even her stepmother's younger siblings also ridiculed her, and because her father had more children, she was also relatively indifferent to her in recent years. Several engagements failed, and her father was also very unhappy. Seeing She always has a straight face.

It is with Fanning's help that she can cook by herself without looking at her family. If Fanning's source of income is really cut off, she doesn't know what to do.

"Is your stepmother still treating you badly?" Fanning asked again.

Ouyang Qian smiled wryly, "How can she be nice to me? She is most afraid of hearing the news that I am going to get married."

"why?"

Fan Ning asked puzzledly: "I think she should want you to get married as soon as possible!"

"Things are not that simple. You don't know the family situation. Although my father's salary is not low, he doesn't have any extra money. He likes to go out to drink tea with friends and spend money lavishly. Half of his salary is spent on his In terms of communication and entertainment, coupled with the fact that he has a large number of students, and the students' families have difficulties, he often helps them out.

More importantly, our own family has a large population, and our daily expenses are so high that we have no savings at all. Before, my father prepared a dowry of 2000 taels of silver for me, which has been distributed to my two younger sisters by my stepmother. They also want to get married, you say I will get married again, what about the dowry?In the past, she wanted me to get married quickly, but now it's the other way around. She is afraid that if I marry someone, she won't be able to get the dowry. What's more, she is afraid that her two daughters will have no dowry. All messed up by her. "

"So your stepmother has no objection to your living at home."

"Yes! As long as I don't eat her food or spend her money, I can stay as long as I like. She doesn't want to see me, and I don't want to see her either."

Speaking of this, Ouyang Qian couldn't help giving Fan Ning a blank look, "From your tone, it seems that you also want me to get married quickly?"

"I don't want you to marry!"

When Fan Ning blurted it out, he knew he had made a slip of the tongue. He quickly laughed dryly, "Sister Qian, what I mean is."

Fan Ning didn't know how to explain for a while, Ouyang Qian also blushed with shame, bowed her head in silence, neither of them knew what to say, the atmosphere was very awkward for a while.

After a while, Fan Ning whispered, "Sister Qian, how is your father doing?"

When mentioning her father, Ouyang Qian's eyes turned red immediately, and she was about to cry. She covered her mouth, turned her head and began to cry silently.

Fan Ning felt a pain in her heart, and held her hand. Ouyang Qian was startled, and quickly withdrew her hand, but Fan Ning held it tightly. Looking at Fan Ning's sincere eyes, Ouyang Qian suddenly had an impulse in her heart, wishing to rush Went into Fanning's arms and burst into tears.

Fan Ning sat beside her and pointed to her shoulder. Ouyang Qian recalled the situation when she went to buy hats with him. She was so weak that she could not tell, she rested her head on Fan Ning's shoulder lightly, Let him hold his hand.

"Daddy has fallen ill with anger, the house is like the sky is falling, it's a mess, the elder sister-in-law is so ashamed and angry, she went back to her mother's house, the stepmother has nowhere to vent her anger, she scolds everyone she sees, the younger siblings are scared and hide in the room all day I dare not come out, only I am taking care of Daddy."

"What about your father's students?"

"The students are all gone, but Zeng Bu came here the day before yesterday."

Speaking of this, Ouyang Qian suddenly realized something in her heart, sat up quickly, and explained to Fan Ning in a low voice: "I have nothing to do with him, he married a long time ago, you know, when he came home, we No more contact."

Fan Ning held her hand and said, "You don't need to explain, I understand it in my heart, and I understand in my heart the pain you have suffered in the past few years."

Ouyang Qian's backlog of grievances came to her heart, and she remembered the despair in Fan Ning's heart when she got married. She couldn't restrain her inner emotions anymore, and she fell on the table and burst into tears.

Fan Ning never forgot Ouyang Qian in his heart. Ouyang Qian was a thorn in his heart, hidden deep in his heart.

If Ouyang Qian married well and had a happy life, maybe she would gradually forget about Ouyang Qian, but Ouyang Qian's marriage was unlucky, which put great pressure on Fan Ning. He felt that he had the responsibility to take good care of Ouyang Qian. The reason for giving the jade pendant to Ouyang Qian is to at least ensure that Ouyang Qian has no worries about food and clothing.

Fan Ning didn't disturb Ouyang Qian from crying, but just held her hand and let her vent her grievance silently.

After a long time, Ouyang Qian slowly stopped crying. She withdrew her hand and wiped her tears with a towel from the embroidered handbag. She was a little embarrassed and said, "I cried too much today. It's not like this usually."

Fan Ning said with a smile: "It's my luck to be your reliance, I don't think you cry a lot."

Ouyang Qian felt a sweetness in her heart, and she gave him a blank look, "Who wants to rely on you, and you are not ashamed to brag about yourself!"

At this time, the little servant girl reminded from the outside: "Girl, the time is coming."

Ouyang Qian was startled, and said in a panic: "Look at me, I almost forgot the big thing."

"Do you have anything else?"

"There is an imperial doctor coming to see Dad in the afternoon, so I have to be there."

Fan Ning nodded, "Don't worry! I will do my best to help your father and restore his innocence. I will never stay out of it."

Ouyang Qian was moved and joyful in her heart. She lowered her head and said, "I'm here today to ask you for help. I can't find anyone else except you."

Looking at her pitiful appearance, Fan Ning wanted to hug her and kiss her bitterly, but he restrained himself. If he crossed the line at this time, he would be suspected of taking advantage of her.

"Go back quickly! I will come to you if there is anything."

Ouyang Qian nodded, and said to Fan Ning: "Come to my house and walk through the east gate, knock on the door hard, and my little maid will open the door for you."

Fan Ning laughed, "I remember, if you need money, you can go directly to the money shop to get it. I have left 1 taels of silver for you."

There was a smile on the corner of Ouyang Qian's mouth, she turned around and walked out the door, she turned her head and gave him a charming look when she got to the door, and then walked away meanderingly with the little maid.

Fan Ning walked slowly to the window with his hands behind his back, and watched Ouyang Qian and the little maid get into an ox cart and leave. He suddenly had a realization in his heart that he might not be able to climb out of this tender pit that had been waiting for him for many years.
