Chapter 115: Success
Chapter 1,15 Success
Ouyang Chengxu took a deep breath and couldn't help but look up at the city wall in front of him! For ordinary people, this is sacred, and it is also the place that the students in the world who have been studying hard for decades are looking forward to, within the emperor and above the Golden Palace, but many people only see the door but cannot get it!
And inside, a great road leads directly to the Golden Palace inside, and on both sides are guards wearing armor! They stand up straight, just like tall trees, without moving at all!
Before he walked in, Ouyang Chengxu felt a solemn and solemn atmosphere, and his heart couldn't help but shrink tightly. He finally got what he wanted and could finally walk into the Golden Palace! When happiness came, he realized that he was really at a loss!
"It is said that Ouyang Chengxu will meet!"
A loud shout came from inside again. Because of the city wall, the sound echoed in the palace. Today, there was an adult in the court, Ouyang Chengxu!
Ouyang Chengxu took a deep breath, raised his head, walked inside with his head raised and his chest raised!
And there was no hesitation or hesitation at all. After all, in the future, I might have to come and go here frequently. Besides, I have also received the emperor's summons now, and I am the winner, so of course I have to hold my head up and stand up!
It was the first time I entered the palace. To be honest, Ouyang Chengxu wanted to see the surroundings, but both sides were guards standing straight, so nervous that his feet were a little unaware of how to take steps, and his neck felt very stiff!
After walking a long road, a long stairs appeared in front of me, and on the steps was the Golden Palace!
Taking a deep breath, Ouyang Chengxu walked up the steps. When he reached the end, a large temple appeared in front of him. On both sides were civil and military officials, and on the top, the one who looked very young and in a dragon robe was the emperor!
This is the Golden Palace!
Ouyang Chengxu couldn't help but mutter in his heart. Looking around, the Prime Minister he had just met was standing inside the closest to the emperor, while the Lord Wang stood a little closer to the outside!
The eyes of countless adults were looking at him at this time, and even the emperor sitting at the top was looking at him at this time.
Ouyang Chengxu felt that his heart was about to stop beating, and it was the first time he was being watched by so many people.
At this time, he saw the adult who gave him a chance smile at him, with great encouragement in his smile!
Taking a deep breath, Ouyang Chengxu stepped forward, but this was a little nervous when he saw the emperor for the first time, and he didn't know how long it would take to go. He thought that even if he had an official position, he was only a fourth-rank official. Those who could stay in this palace were at least third-rank officials, so he didn't dare to go too far. He knelt on the ground and shouted: "A man named Ouyang Chengxu, come to see the emperor, long live my emperor!"
"Get up!"
Emperor Jingtai smiled and said, No wonder the ministers were very dissatisfied. This person was indeed very young. He gave a fourth-rank official at such an age, which was indeed a big blow to many people. However, from his performance, this young man is still very capable. After all, it is indeed a bit unexpected to be able to sell weapons to such a high price. In this way, the sale of weapons every year is a very considerable income. In comparison, what can these fourth-rank officials be considered?
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Ouyang Chengxu said loudly, then stood up, but he did not dare to look up at Emperor Jingtai sitting on the dragon throne!
Emperor Jingtai nodded slightly and asked, "You are the one Ouyang Chengxu who sold ten cannons and five hundred shells for 120,000 taels of silver! Lord Wang has introduced you just now! Well, raise your head!"
Ouyang Chengxu looked up slightly and looked up. It was the first time that the emperor looked at such a close distance. He was indeed very young and very energetic. However, he immediately reported it and quickly lowered his head and said, "Thank you, the emperor, it is actually because of Lord Wang's strong support!"
Emperor Jingtai smiled and then said, "Mr. Wang said just now that although he provided you with information, you took the initiative to come to you. In other words, if you know, you have to rely on the power of others. For this, Lord. Wang appreciates you very much. If you win, then the court will certainly fulfill the promises of the court! Ouyang Chengxu, listen to the title!"
Ouyang Chengxu immediately knelt on the ground!
Immediately, the eunuch read out the imperial edict of Emperor Jingtai, and the content of the imperial edict was not complicated. That is, Ouyang, Chen Chengxu was promoted to a fourth-rank official and would go out to sea. The first country he contacted was William's country. Of course, he still obeyed Jiang Lang's command now. After all, it was decided by Jiang Lang's selling weapons to other countries. Moreover, Emperor Jingtai also felt that Jiang Lang should be very good at this aspect. After all, he had his own unique insights in selecting people!
Ouyang Chengxu listened to the imperial edict with an extremely nervous mood. For him, at this time, he finally means that he can make a name for himself!
The morning court ended soon, and Ouyang Chengxu and Jiang Lang walked out of the palace with their hands holding their government office!
Jiang Lang smiled slightly and said, "You official has no yamen for the time being, so the Ministry of Works will be your yamen for the time being!"
Now the entire imperial department is still the same as before. In Jiang Lang's eyes, the official position of Ouyang Chengxu should be defined as the Ministry of Commerce, but there is no department now. However, the Ministry of Works is in charge of the manufacturing of weapons, so Ouyang Chengxu was temporarily divided into the yamen of the Ministry of Works. After all, he is a fourth-rank official, so he naturally should have a yamen. He can't even have a place to stay. How can he work?
Ouyang Chengxu nodded and said, "Thank you, Lord Wang!"
Jiang Lang can be regarded as his boss. Although this adult is the factory supervisor of Dongchang, there are many things he has to ask about. Of course, Ouyang Chengxu also understood that Jiang Lang said a lot of good things for himself in the court, and didn’t the emperor say it just now!
Jiang Lang smiled, patted Ouyang Chengxu on the shoulder, and said, "Okay, don't thank me. All of this is what you deserve. Now I think you should go home. Your family should be waiting for you to go back at this time. Reunite with your family during this period, because in a few days, you will have to go overseas. It's rare to come back a few times this year!"
Speaking of this, Jiang Lang couldn't help but think of his wife and children who were far away from overseas!
Ouyang Chengxu nodded, and he didn't answer his gratitude to Jiang Lang in words. At the same time, he also understood how heavy the burden on his shoulders was, but it didn't matter. What's important is that he succeeded!
After saying goodbye to Jiang Lang, Ouyang Chengxu went straight to his home. In fact, he really hoped that Jiang Lang and Murong Yan would go with him, but he also understood that they were all busy people, so how could they waste time on their own business? As for their gratitude to them, they also knew that they were not so calculating, as long as they had this intention!
"You are Bole, and now I don't know if he is a thousand-mile horse!"
Yu Qian's voice came to his ears at this time!
Jiang Lang smiled slightly and said, "The so-called road knows the power of a horse. Is it a thousand-mile horse? Of course it is not easy to determine at this time, but I have always believed in my own vision of people. Well, Lord Yu, why not have a drink for both of us?"
"You treat me? You've finished another thing, but this so-called end is just the beginning!"
Yu Qian said with a smile!
"No problem!"
Jiang Lang agreed very readily!
In Ouyang Mansion, it is now decorated with lights and colors. The entire mansion has been completely renovated the next morning under Ouyang Ming’s command!
Yesterday I learned that my son had won the competition and today I would go to the court to listen to the title. For him, this is a huge joy. The so-called four happy events in the human body: a long drought, a rainy rain, a meeting an old friend in a foreign land, a wedding night, and a golden list title, although my son did not study hard, but he had a much better future than those who studied hard. Even if he won the top scorer, he was only a sixth or seventh rank official. And his son is a fourth-rank official in the court. I don’t know how many people are jealous of the official position.
So this morning, he actually got up earlier than Ouyang Chengxu. Of course, the master got up, and the maids and others could not sleep well. He was all bombarded by him. As for what to do when they were bombarded, it was of course a celebration. He immediately asked the servants to clean the yard and write invitations at the same time. Not to mention anything else, his relatives and friends were invited to gather. On the other hand, the servants and maids all changed into new clothes. The originally calm Ouyang Mansion suddenly became lively at this time!
The unhappiness last night seemed to have disappeared without a trace at this time, but Liang Xiaoyue still has not come back. Her mother-in-law's words were too much. Others could forgive her for talking nonsense, but it was her mother-in-law's words. Why do you have any face to say this when it is spread?
At this time, Ouyang Chengmu was very dissatisfied with his mother, and he knew that she was doing it for his own good, but this was too much and his face was completely discarded.
Sanniang had a wrong understanding. She was originally on the same front as the aunt, but yesterday she saw the aunt's statement that obviously made her husband angry, and she was still very angry. What's more, Ouyang Chengxu was in the limelight now, and he was a fourth-rank official of the court. This was a fierce face for the Ouyang family. At this time, he was arguing with them. Ouyang Ming would never help them. There was only one result, so he simply avoided his edge, so he helped to arrange it. He originally ignored Ouyang Chengxu's mother, and at this time, the second sister and the second sister kept calling!
As for Ouyang Chengxu's mother, of course she was even happier. Her son finally had a bright future, and it was not in vain that she had suffered so much. In fact, she was not a benign because she knew that if she couldn't bear it, she would only be herself and her son. For her son, no matter what the aunt and Sanniang said, she would endure it.
In comparison, the old lady is now completely alone. Her wife was angry and ran away from her. Her son ignored her. Her husband ignored her. She was lively outside but had nothing to do with her. Instead, she thrust hard in her heart like a whip. Of course, the so-called dogs can't change their shit. She didn't realize her mistake at all about her now. She blamed all this wrong on others. She also hated God's injustice to her. Why didn't this good thing fall on her head, but on the bitch and his son? Of course, Murong Yan and Jiang Lang cursed fiercely in her heart. If it weren't for them, how could Ouyang Chengxu have such a good thing? Of course, the lights and decorations outside were extremely humiliating for her! But now she could only stare at the outside and sulk!
The Ouyang family is also rich. As the saying goes, money can make the devil push the mill. In the morning, the entire Ouyang family suddenly became new and filled with a festive atmosphere!
At the same time, the servants of the Ouyang family were also busy. In addition to starting to prepare these things immediately, some of them had to go to run errands to send invitations. Because the time was very short and very hasty, they could only hurry. However, Ouyang Ming was happy today. Maybe everyone would have a reward of 5 taels of silver. It was a red envelope. Wu Liang's silver was definitely not a big money for Ouyang Ming and others, but for these servants and maids, it was definitely an accident and a lot of income. With money, they naturally had motivation. So they ran one by one and were very relieved. They were more at ease about when the money was fulfilled. Although Ouyang Ming was a businessman and loved money, he still kept his word. Moreover, he would naturally not lose his interest in this festive day!
Those who received Ouyang Ming's invitation were naturally friends of the Ouyang family. In fact, they had heard of this news for a long time, but there was no certainty about who would win. Now the Ouyang family actually had a big banquet for guests, which also made them sure that Ouyang Chengxu must have won. The so-called success, the king and the bandit, Ouyang Chengxu suddenly became a fourth-rank official in the court. Even if some people looked down on the Ouyang family, they also looked at the Ouyang family with admiration, because the status of the Ouyang family suddenly rose and became different from before. Moreover, looking at his official position, maybe he would be directly linked to the Chamber of Commerce in the future. If he didn't please him at this time, then he would have to wait until
On the other hand, some people who usually have nothing to do with the Ouyang family have to reconsider their position when they get this news. Although the Ouyang family did not marry them, they naturally could come uninvited without invitation! Some are even considering that Ouyang Chengxu has not married so far, and they have relatives in their family. This looks quite good. If a woman of a suitable age can marry Ouyang Chengxu as a wife, it would be a good thing. Moreover, this matter has to be done early, otherwise she will be a concubine even if she has the chance. What status can this concubine have in the family? It is just an accessory, unless she has a boy, she can pass on the family line.
At this time, women are just a tool in the eyes of many people. What they need is that they can bring them closer together. The rest of the things they think about are not within their considerations. The so-called "marrying a chicken and following a chicken and following a dog" is the reason. If you marry a short-lived husband, you will only be a widow for the rest of your life. After all, you are a woman. If you want to be chaste, you will certainly not be able to get married!
For a moment, there was a crowd at the door of Ouyang's house, which was very lively!
After getting on the carriage, he reached out and gently stroked the red official uniform in his hand. Ouyang Chengxu felt that he was still a little incredible now. Everything seemed to be yesterday. More than two months ago, he was just an ordinary student in a private school. He thought that after he finished his studies, he would go out to sea with the chamber of commerce and then make his mark with his own strength. He would not let others look down on him. However, he also understood that it was a very long process and it was not something that could be done in a day or two! But he had to do it. When he thought of the contemptuous look of the aunt and three-mother in his family, and his mother swallowed his anger, Ouyang Chengxu felt like a fire in his heart, and he told himself over and over again that no matter what, he had to make his mark. How could the people around him understand the thoughts of this rich child who seemed cynical!
Now, I finally got what I wanted. Just two months later, I became a fourth-rank official in the court. When wearing this official uniform, the aunt and the three ladies had to call me "Original" in public occasions! Thinking of their cramped expressions, Ouyang Chengxu felt very happy!
But no matter how happy I am, if I have to wear this official uniform, I will naturally have to work hard. However, no one in this family will dare to bully their mother in the future.
"Young Master, we're here!"
The coachman outside said at this time, and then the carriage slowly stopped. At the same time, the coachman shouted loudly: "The Second Young Master is back!"
Ouyang Chengxu couldn't help but frowned. He came back as soon as he came back. Is there a need to shout so loudly?
He didn't know that the coachman shouted, as if oil was pouring out of the burning fire. The entire Ouyang Mansion suddenly became boiling, and many people squeezed to the door, and Ouyang Ming ran out at this time and waited on the steps at the door!
Ouyang Chengxu got off the carriage with his official uniform and was shocked. When did so many people gather at his doorstep? And the lights and decorations in the mansion seemed to have had some happy events. But in a blink of an eye, he immediately realized that his family was preparing to celebrate with him.
Chapter completed!
