No, gentlemen also guard against

Chapter 275
"Nephew Lianghan!"

Juxian Garden, study room.

Facing the figure of the young county magistrate and counselor of the weak crown sitting silently at the bottom of a row of seats directly in front of him.

Li Xian choked with sobs, tears wet his cuffs, he cried with joy and tears, sobbing choked up.

He is not a person with strong determination and deep city, but indecisive, sentimental and weak in the eyes of the world.

It's a pity that he has a queen mother with iron wrists and a strong desire for power.

He was born in the emperor's family by mistake again.

It is not as intelligent and forbearing as the eighth younger brother Xiang Wang Lilun.

This indecisive, sentimental and weak character is placed in a commoner or wealthy family, and may be regarded as kind and considerate, emphasizing love and righteousness, and can be regarded as a good husband and father to wives and children.

But not a good emperor, or a good lord.

Li Xian felt this deeply a long time ago, after experiencing the storm of abolishing the emperor and being demoted to the common people.

In the past, those close ministers of the Eastern Palace who were generously treated by him in all kinds of ways left him one by one, and silently severed contact.

The only one who did not hesitate to resign and follow him was Mr. Yuan, who was pedantic but respected benevolence and courtesy.

After experiencing ups and downs in life, Li Xian was disheartened and paralyzed.

He changed his name to Su and spent more than ten years in a small town in the south of the Yangtze River, which is worthy of the word "leisure" in his name.

But this kind of gap from emperor to common people, how can ordinary people accept it.

In fact, Li Xian also held back, he was originally a weak character, once, he told himself over and over again, "become a rich man" is already the best ending.

What's more, he can grow up with his wife and grow up with Fusu and Bao'er. This can be regarded as a true love that was difficult for the emperor's family to experience, and he must be satisfied.

Until, last month, the Luoyang court sent an angel again, and he was also the old "rival in love". He was scared to death. The "Jue" presented by his mother still makes him afraid to get close.

What really changed Li Xian's mentality was the story of "Zheng Boke Duan Yuyan" told by Ouyang Rong not long ago;

On the fifteenth day, Wei Shaoxuan uncovered the sheepskin and bared his fangs to chase and kill his family's wife and children.

The latter ignited the indignation and fear in his chest.

And the former, the unparalleled resourceful nephew in front of him, gave Li Xian hope.

He didn't want to be this precarious wretch again, who was even chased and killed by his nephews, and who was robbed of his beloved daughter.

Even this thought made him tremble with fear, and the figure of the iron-blooded queen in front of him covered the sky and the sun, making people hopeless.

But Li Xian still took this step, and tried his best to keep Liang Han's nephew.

Not for his own desire for power, but for Mei Niang, Fu Su and Bao'er.

He eats and waits to die by himself, it doesn't matter if he is useless.

But Fusu and Bao'er can't do it, they are still young, they are the children of the Li family who should be "kind", and their fate should not be the same as that of a useless man like him.

Li Xian trembled all over.

Today, there is family behind me.

There is no going back.

Weakness does not mean that you can be bullied without a bottom line.

Inside the study.

Li Xian tried his best to open his eyes wide, suppressing his tears, looking at the weak crown counselor who had smashed the sixth son of Wei Shaoxuan into minced meat in front of him, he was full of excitement and guilt for his resignation.

Even if, after Ouyang Rong walked into Su's mansion today, he came to Dalang Fusu's study, and made a silent statement.

But Li Xian still remained undiminished in his gratitude, without any grudges.

After all, isn't his eldest son Fusu's in the future?
This is the undisputed consensus of the whole family.

Wei Mei loves her eldest son the most.

Bao'er also has a very good relationship with her elder brother, they are siblings, and Fusu doted on her younger sister since she was a child and gave up everything.

Although Li Xian still has one or two bastards born to concubines, they are still babies waiting to be fed;
If it wasn't for the imminent disaster, they would fly away separately and return to their mother's house with the snobbish concubine. They were far away in a foreign country, and they didn't follow him to Longcheng to endure hardships, and they would be in danger.

Naturally, their feelings cannot be compared with those of Li Xian, Li Fusu, Li Bao'er, and Wei Mei.

The four share joys and sorrows in Longcheng, and their family affection is the strongest.

Li Xian covered his face and wept for a while, wiped away his tears, restrained his emotions, felt at a loss for a while, and said to Ouyang Rong in shame:

"Let the Lianghanxian nephew laugh."

Ouyang Rong shook his head: "Uncle is really temperamental."

Li Xian felt ashamed: "But Liang Han's future has been delayed."

Ouyang Rong shook his head, pondered for a moment, and said softly:
"I have promised Fu Su that starting today, I will come to your mansion to do my best."

Li Xian hurriedly waved his hands: "What's the matter with Lianghan!"

At this time, he couldn't help but look sideways, and glanced at Ouyang Rong's eyes, Li Xian found that his eyes were faintly purple, as if it had been like this since he was just at the gate of the county government office.

I don't know if it's a lighting issue.

Ouyang Rong seemed to be aware of Li Xian's gaze, and lowered his eyes slightly.

At this time, Wei Mei and Li Bao'er came with refreshments.

Wei Mei was very kind, and poured tea for Ouyang Rong. Li Bao'er stood beside him silently, helping to help, but the proud girl with plum blossom makeup in the past was a little quieter in the study today.

"Nephew Liang Hanxian moistens his throat, this is a little snack made by my concubine, you can try it too, it can relieve the heat."

Ouyang Rong shook his head, "Junior Sister likes this, give her a taste."

He motioned to Wei Mei to let them take the ice cream-like crispy mountain to the little junior sister sitting opposite, who just looked at him eagerly.

The two brothers and sisters have become more and more tacit understanding.

Li Bao'er saw it, including the sweet smile on the corner of Xie's sister's mouth.

Iced snacks are hard to refuse, but tea is hard to refuse.

Li Xian's face turned serious, and he called Li Fusu who was scratching his head, ordering him to salute Mr. Ouyang Rongzhi, and Li Fusu obeyed obediently.

For a moment, the father and son, who flowed the blood of Taizong's direct line, served tea and water in front of Ouyang Rong like servants.

Ouyang Rong had no choice but to sip his tea, immediately got up and refused, and pressed them to sit down.

"Uncle and Da Lang don't need to hold such a big ceremony." After a pause, he nodded and said: "Don't call me a nephew Liang Han from now on, just call me Tan Lang."

Li Xian and Li Fu Su are overjoyed.

"Uncle, aunt, Da Lang, and Miss Li, please sit down."

Ouyang Rong said casually, he lowered his eyes to cover up the purple energy in his eyes, his mind was a little distracted at the moment, and he was focusing on something.

Ouyang Rong glanced at the direction of Luoyang where Song Hao was ordered to leave.

Just as he declined the imperial edict and sent Song Hao out of the court, an ancient bronze clock suddenly trembled in the quaint little pagoda in his heart, and a familiar purple mist gushed out.

A sudden blessing.

Ouyang Rong was slightly surprised.

Two thousand [merits] are needed.

On the way to Su Mansion just now, Ouyang Rong took the time to take a look.

Well, he wasn't enough.

Currently.

【Merits: 580 [-] one】

Ouyang Rong sighed.

These days, he found that [merit] is very difficult to earn.

Since the flood control, Ouyang Rong spent all the [merits] he had carefully accumulated on the [-]th day.

The growth of [merit] is very slow.

Recently, he has been working hard on the new ferry of the Zheyi Canal, and in addition, he has presided over the construction of some scattered buildings in the corners that collapsed in the flood, as well as sympathy for the families of the martyrs in flood control.

For more than half a month, Ouyang Rong only gained more than 500 [merits], and now he is still close to [-].

Ouyang Rong was about to give up, but this new blessing seemed to last for a long time after being triggered.

The heavenly official ordered Song Hao and his party to go far away, and the purple air still lingered in his eyes.

I don't know how long it will last.

Ouyang Rong drank his tea with his head down, covered the box, and put it aside for the time being.

At this moment, the young county magistrate looked up and found that he was the only focus in the study, and all eyes were on him.

He was obviously sitting at the end of a row of seats, but Li Xian and Li Fusu didn't go to take their seats, but stood beside him and served him tea.

Wei Mei and Li Bao'er also stood behind him, looking at him without blinking their wonderful eyes.

As for the younger junior sister, she was eating crispy crisps with a silver spoon on the opposite side, staring at him with crescent eyes.

"There is still business today, uncle and Dalang, please sit down."

Ouyang Rong had no choice but to get up, and pulled the two to sit down, and the latter had no choice but to obey.

Ouyang Rong didn't sit down anymore, and asked the crowd directly:
"Uncle, where is the jade ring that His Majesty gave you earlier, take it."

Li Fusu went out immediately, and Shaoqing brought a jade ring.

Ouyang Rong reached out to take it, the jade was wrapped in a brocade box and red satin, the jade was like a hollow moon, but it was missing a corner, which is really a pity.

Seeing this, Li Xian looked forward to asking: "What's Tan Lang's solution? Is there a mystery in the jade ring that his mother gave him?"

"Mystery?"

Ouyang Rong glanced at Yujue, shook his head, "I don't know." The next second, he suddenly raised his hand, and Yujue threw it to the ground.

"Ding Dang——!"

There was a crisp sound.

The jade ring bestowed by the empress was torn apart and splashed all over the room.

Everyone was shocked, and Li Xian showed a trace of fear.

"Sorry for slippery hands, Da Lang, I'll clean it up later." Ouyang Rong patted the ashes on his hands and chuckled lightly: "Oh, since it's a ring and there's still a gap, then don't take it."

Everyone was surprised, but seeing his calm expression, they calmed down a little.

"Da Lang cleans it himself, don't let outsiders see it." Li Xian ordered in a low voice, still a little flustered.

Ouyang Rong turned his head directly, and asked Li Bao'er and Wei Mei:

"How much money is there in the mansion that can be used directly, um, including your birthday presents over the years."

Li Bao'er did not hesitate, and reported the number.

Xie Lingjiang held the silver spoon in his hand, raised his head and looked sideways, with milk on the corner of his lips, quite cute.

As expected of a princess, birthday gifts are like stealing money.

She pouted.

Ouyang Rong said calmly, "I want to use it."

Li Bao'er asked, "Okay, how much do you want?"

Ouyang Rong nodded: "Take out a thousand taels of gold first."

"Well, it's not too much." Li Bao'er was slightly relieved.

Ouyang Rong shook his head:

"I haven't finished talking yet, the thousand taels of gold was taken out and given to my junior sister.

"The rest, take out all the money immediately, don't leave a penny, Dalang takes the money, go to Liulang first, he will find someone to escort you."

"..." Li Bao'er.

Ouyang Rong continued: "Let's go to Donglin Temple together, find Master Shandao, and say that I asked you to come, and give all the money to him, he will understand."

"What are we going to do with so much money?" Wei Mei interjected, feeling a little pained.

Ouyang Rong squinted his eyes: "It's not us, it's Uncle. His conscience suddenly hurt, and he donated the largest pagoda in the south of the Yangtze River. Well, it was built on top of a certain underground palace. The original site of the former rosette, there is nothing wrong with it."

Everyone looked at each other.

"Why do you suddenly want to build such a big pagoda..." Li Xian looked a little hesitant.

Seeing this, Ouyang Rong turned his head towards Li Xian and said:

"If you are reluctant or doubtful, then forget it, I am taking the liberty, interrupting, and leaving..."

"Don't, don't, don't!" Li Xian hurriedly grabbed Ouyang Rong, and nodded vigorously: "I believe, what Liang Han says is what he says! Meiniang, Bao'er, do it right away!"

"Yes."

Ouyang Rong nodded slightly, and with his hands behind his back, he said leisurely: "Junior Sister brought a thousand taels of gold... By the way, I still have some, so Junior Sister will also take it."

He took out the coil in his sleeve, handed it out without any regrets, smiled and said:
"Little junior sister immediately rushed to the bustling Guangzhou mansion on Lingnan Road to buy a jade ring with the best quality and perfection. Remember, it is a jade ring, so bring it back.

"Also, look at the market more, if there are jade rings with the same origin and similar quality as it, buy them all, and then...

"Just find any place, imitate me, let's just keep that one. Remember, in the short term, we must ensure that there is no second similar one in Dazhou. We need to be unique."

Xie Lingjiang nodded without asking.

Li Fusu was curious, "Lianghan, why are we buying jade rings?"

Ouyang Rong chuckled: "We didn't buy a jade ring for what, Da Lang, don't talk nonsense."

"..."

He pointed to the crumbs of the jade ring on the ground, and said contradictoryly: "Look, the jade ring that His Majesty gave to the unfilial son has come back round."

Facing the frowning crowd, the young county magistrate cheerfully said:

"After the construction of the pagoda started, my uncle lived in Donglin Temple day and night, praying for the Buddha-worshiping mother. You are a filial son, your conscience hurts, and you are changing your past, don't forget."

"Then, when Junior Sister brings Yuhuan back, then..."

He paused, nodded, and changed his words:

"Well, it's the 'jade ring' that we enshrined in the pagoda, and it grows back into a jade ring. Uncle, you just chanted scriptures day and night. On a windy and rainy night, together with many masters, you discovered it by accident.

"Hey, the jade ring is like the moon, and it's cloudy and sunny. It's auspicious. Congratulations, congratulations.

"It's just that being a filial son has been physical and technical work since ancient times. Although it is windy and rainy outside, although the Buddha is touched, filial piety can be learned, but it is also difficult for the body."

Ouyang Rong turned his head again:

"I remember that my junior sister knew the Taoist doctor at Zaoshan in Yuqing Pavilion? When you come back from Lingnan, go and ask for a prescription immediately.

"It's best to have a medicine that can make people fall ill, but it doesn't cause any serious problems. It's better to have a more miserable illness. Of course, the antidote must be prepared."

"Did you take medicine for getting sick?" the little junior sister was curious.

He laughed and said:
"Sickness is simple and easy to say, difficult to say, sometimes it just doesn't come, sometimes it comes when you say it.

"Uncle is too honest and his acting skills are not good, so he should take medicine, just in case."

Everyone froze for a moment, cast their gazes away, and Li Xian also stayed where he was, and finally nodded honestly: "Okay, okay, eat as you like, listen to Lianghan."

Ouyang Rong thought for a while and sighed:
"Finally, there is auspiciousness, so we can't hide it, it is disrespectful to His Majesty, but offering auspiciousness is a technical job.

"Well, I have to find someone to help me. I'm thin-skinned. I'm an old gentleman. I'm not suitable for such flattery. The style of painting doesn't match. In other words, who should I find..."

The young county magistrate slowly cast his gaze towards the direction of the Longcheng county government office. After a while, he stretched his brows and nodded with a smile:

"There is."
