Chapter 151 Unprepared

Chapter 151: Caught off guard

The next few days were Ouyang Chengxu's busier time, and during this period he had contacted William many times. Five days later, Ouyang Chengxu finally prepared a very detailed plan. Of course, this plan was compiled with other officials, with as many as hundreds of pages and a thick book. Then, Ouyang Chengxu took the lead in coming to the East Factory. Jiang Lang was the general manager of the mission, so this plan should be reviewed first!

Jiang Lang was working. When he heard that Ouyang Chengxu had arrived, he also asked him to come in. After coming in, Ouyang Chengxu said respectfully: "Mr. Wang!"

Jiang Lang nodded and said, "Sit down!"

Ouyang Chengxu shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter, I'll just stand!"

Jiang Lang smiled faintly and said, "Sit down, don't be polite to me, come and have a tea!"

Ouyang Chengxu sat down!

The guards quickly brought the tea and left!

Jiang Lang broke the silence first and asked with a smile: "How are you preparing for this mission?"

At Jiang Lang, Ouyang Chengxu felt invisible pressure, and under this pressure, he seemed to feel dull. The adult in front of him seemed to be standing in front of him, and now he could only stand at the foot of the mountain and look up!

Hearing Jiang Lang ask him, Ouyang Chengxu hurriedly said, "It's already...already ready!"

I was stuttering before I knew it, maybe because I was too nervous!

Jiang Lang heard the nervousness in Ouyang Chengxu's words and asked with a smile: "What? If you meet the emperor or king of another country after you abroad, would you be so nervous?"

When Ouyang Chengxu heard this, he realized that he had lost his composure and hurriedly said, "Sir, I'm sorry!"

"No need to say sorry, but you have to pay attention to this situation!"

Jiang Lang corrected that if he stuttered in the face of other countries' high positions and powers, then in the eyes of others, it would be timid. If this timidity would damage the majesty of the Ming Dynasty!

Ouyang Chengxu nodded quickly!

Jiang Lang then asked again: "Then tell me, how are you preparing for the current mission?"

Ouyang Chengxu did not delay and immediately said, "I'm almost ready now!"

"What's the same?"

Jiang Lang asked, "Those are ready, those are not ready yet? What I need to know is this, not almost such a general concept. What can best illustrate everything is accurate data!"

Ouyang Chengxu was shocked. Jiang Lang became so strict. He realized that he was wrong and hurriedly said, "Sir, I have discussed with Lord William these days and have determined the route. First, we set off from the capital and arrived in Tianjin from the canal. It takes about one day. This will save some of the expenses. After arriving in Tianjin, we will meet with merchant ships and escort warships, and then pick up several princesses, and then we will go to William's country!"

The princesses were Zi Ling and others. Because this was arranged by Jiang Lang, of course they had to do it. However, Ouyang Chengxu was a little confused. This mission took many months to a large extent. Now that he has lived here for a long time, why don’t he take them back, but instead ask them to go overseas with him. Even if it is to relax, the place to relax is too far away. And it is said that this voyage is a very difficult thing!

Of course, he didn't understand what Jiang Lang was thinking. Jiang Lang did this for the safety of several people. Even though he was far away, Jiang Lang could not guarantee that the army there would be loyal to him. Once he failed, he would die, but he could not implicate his wife and children. After all, he had actually died once. If it weren't for them to go to sea with justification and he was in the capital, why would he have mobilized so many troops to vigorously promote this mission?

Jiang Lang had no objection to Ouyang Chengxu's itinerary. Although he was verbally speaking, there should be a very detailed route in his plan, so he asked: "Where is the preparation?"

Ouyang Chengxu hurriedly said: "The preparation of the gifts has been completed. After inspection, it has been sent to Tianjin. Special personnel are responsible for escorting them and taking the water route. After arriving in Tianjin, they will check again to confirm that these gifts are gifts shipped by the capital. If the rest is not completed, they are also hurrying up. They have already asked them to complete them all within three days, and then arrive in Tianjin within five days to complete the loading. The selected merchants' merchant ships and cargo ships have now arrived in Tianjin. On the one hand, they are loading their cargo on the ship, and on the other hand, they are preparing food. Now people have been sent to the place where several princesses are located first, mainly because the fleet needs to replenish them there once, and then notify the princes to prepare. The military preparations have been completed and you can set off at any time!"

Last time I went to the Chamber of Commerce, after Murong Fu introduced it, Ouyang Chengxu now knew the most basic process of the entire mission. In addition to the Chamber of Commerce inspecting the cargo on board at Tianjin Port, this also informed the officials at the dock to conduct strict inspections of these cargoes, and those officials did not dare to neglect them.

After listening to Ouyang Chengxu's introduction, Jiang Lang was quite satisfied. At least the young man in front of him had gradually matured. In fact, Jiang Lang had known these things for a long time. There will be someone to send these information tomorrow, but in comparison, Jiang Lang knew more in detail!

After Ouyang Chengxu finished speaking, he stood up quickly, respectfully handed the plan in his hand over with both hands, and said, "Sir, this is the plan prepared by the official. Please check it out!"

Jiang Lang took it, flipped it a little, then put it on the table, and said, "I will see this later. There is another thing I want to know. I heard that there are many people going to propose marriage to you during this period!"

Ouyang Chengxu was stunned. He never expected that Jiang Lang would ask about this? However, the other party was the factory manager of Dongchang, so he could hide this from him. It seemed that there were a lot of things during this period, but he was too busy, and he seemed to be blocked by his mother. He said immediately: "It seems that there are a lot of things, but he was too busy during this period, so he left this matter to his mother for handling. I will ask for it!"

Jiang Lang also understands this point. People in this era get married first and then fall in love. The parents' orders and matchmakers' words. Before marriage, many of the groom and the bride couldn't meet, all depend on the matchmaker's mouth. Of course, the matchmaker is all bragging about the men. Even if they say ugly things in their mouths, they will become beautiful like fairies, pure music, and shy flowers. When they are in the bridal chamber, they will know their appearance. As for this beauty and ugliness, they can only recognize them!

After pausing, Ouyang Chengxu asked boldly: "Sir, please let the official ask boldly, why did you ask this?"

Jiang Lang laughed and said, "Because someone is in a hurry, I heard that in your home, there is a very good girl recently, she is definitely a good wife and mother, and she is also affectionate to you. But you always use this mission as a reason to shirk it. How come I feel like I have become a sinner!"

Jiang Lang's joke made Ouyang Chengxu startled. The first thing in his mind was to think about whether it would be his mother. However, it was not the time to ask this, so he quickly stood up and said anxiously: "Sir, the official is guilty. Please give me a speech!"

Jiang Lang smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Okay, don't be so serious. I'm just joking. Don't make a fuss. But this man should get married when he is old and a woman should get married when he is old. If this girl is good and affectionate with you, don't miss it. You have to treat others well!"

Jiang Lang laughed at himself in his heart, but he was really a Pacific policeman who was very lenient in his control. He had to ask about other people's marriage matters! Of course, since others have something to ask for and this is not a big deal, it's nothing if he is asking for a few words!

As for why Jiang Lang asked about this matter, of course, we have to start three days ago!

Yu'er's legs healed very quickly. Now she can try to walk slowly without crutches. At this speed, it won't take long to get her away and she will leave Ouyang's mansion. Ouyang Chengxu's mother was thinking that if she left, wouldn't her plan be completely lost? Wouldn't it be even more difficult for Yu'er to cultivate a relationship between the two of them?

When he was anxious, he couldn't help but complain to Liang Xiaoyue. Liang Xiaoyue was not a good-looking person. After his mind turned around, he immediately said that if Ouyang Chengxu wanted to marry Yu'er obediently, there was only one person who had the final say, that was Lord Wang!

Because Ouyang Chengxu was promoted by Lord Wang with all his strength, he was simply his benefactor, of course he had to listen!

When Ouyang Chengxu's mother heard this, she immediately felt that if this was the case, it would be good, but another problem arose. This adult was an important minister of the court and was very busy all night. And he and his two were just women, how could they meet others?

Of course Liang Xiaoyue also knew this. It was impossible for them to meet that adult so easily, but someone could do it. Moreover, this person should be a kind-hearted person and should be able to help him!

Ouyang Chengxu's mother didn't know who it was, but Liang Xiaoyue knew that this person was Murong Yan! Murong Yan was the adult's sister. Now everyone in the capital knows this, and it was very easy for her to see that adult. In other words, it was much easier for her to see Murong Yan with her two people!

When Ouyang Chengxu's mother heard this, it was indeed the case, but she should go there to find it next? This did not stump Liang Xiaoyue at all. She quickly identified two places. The first is the Murong family, and the second is this private school. Now that the private school has started, she should naturally stay there!

So the two hurriedly headed straight to the private school. During this period, Murong Yan was indeed very busy. There were many things in the private school, and her husband's case was settled. The case did not have much impact on her, but instead made her more popular. At least in the eyes of many people, she was a very strong woman!

Although there were many things, when she heard Ouyang Chengxu's mother coming, she still took time to meet the two. Now Ouyang Chengxu is a typical example of the entire private school. At a young age, because of her outstandingness, she suddenly became a fourth-rank official in the court. The remaining two were also recommended and were about to serve in Prime Minister Yu Qian! This incident is a rare good thing in a thousand years, and it also allowed other students to see hope. At the same time, it also allowed those who did not enter the private school to see the light, so many people squeezed their heads and wanted to come in!

Murong Yan didn't know the purpose of the two of them. After politely making trouble, Ouyang Chengxu's mother said the purpose of the people. Murong Yan couldn't help but be surprised. She never thought that the purpose of the two of them was to make Ouyang Chengxu marry a girl. Murong Yan suddenly felt that this matter was a bit too ridiculous!

However, these two people didn't seem to be here to make fun of themselves. Thinking that the case of his husband's case had just ended not long ago, but now he wants to be a lobbyist to match others, he feels so good!

Of course, this was a lot of refusal. The two of them came to ask for help from themselves very sincerely. For them, it was just a message, and they agreed immediately. Ouyang Chengxu's mother and Liang Xiaoyue left happily!

In the afternoon, Murong Yan did not make any mistakes. While she was going out to do things, she also took the opportunity to go to the factory guards, found Jiang Lang, and explained her purpose!

After hearing this, Jiang Lang felt a little funny. There were many things he had to worry about. He not only had to ask about the affairs of the court, the affairs of the Dongchang, but also the affairs of the mission, etc. Now he had to ask about the marriage of the new future diplomat. However, this gentleman has the beauty of adulthood and pitiful to his parents all over the world. Ouyang Chengxu's mother was also for his own good and agreed now!

So now when Ouyang Chengxu came, Jiang Lang mentioned it by the way. At this moment, Murong Yan also recounted their description of Yu'er in a very complete way. After listening to it, Murong Yan suddenly felt that Yu'er was the most outstanding woman in the entire capital, but the same thing, the mother-in-law looked at her daughter-in-law, and the more she looked at her, the more she liked her!

Ouyang Chengxu didn't know that this was the process, but he also knew in his heart that it had something to do with his mother. He immediately asked, "Sir, is it my mother who is here to disturb him?"

Jiang Lang shook his head and said, "Lingtang has not come. But if you have a woman you like, it's better to marry her while you are marrying it. Since she likes this woman so much, although I have never seen her, it should be good! Such a woman would rather miss it than let her go!"

The problem of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is a big problem in China for thousands of years. The mother-in-law likes it so much. Then the future daughter-in-law should be very good. As for the problem of love, get married first and then slowly cultivate it!

Ouyang Chengxu didn't expect Jiang Lang to persuade him like this, and he couldn't help but wonder whether this Yu'er was really that good? Is it because he didn't notice it after getting in touch? Or did they not see it clearly? But he nodded and said, "The Lord knows!"

Jiang Lang nodded and said, "Okay, that's all for today. When you go back, I will read your plan. If there is no major modification, I will present him to the emperor, and then arrange for you to meet the emperor, and then choose a suitable time for you to go on missions. At least it must be vigorous and you can't underestimate our Ming Dynasty!"

Ouyang Chengxu quickly agreed and left the room after leaving. He couldn't help but feel a little depressed. In order to get married, his mother actually disturbed the adult. Fortunately, he was not angry!

At home, Ouyang Chengxu's mother Liang Xiaoyue was also waiting for Ouyang Chengxu to come back very nervously, and sent someone to wait at the door. If his son came back, he would immediately report to himself!

"Xiaoyue, do you think Xu'er really went to Dongchang?"

She was still a little worried, her palms were sweating slightly, and she confirmed this time!

"Er Niang, don't worry, I'll send someone to follow him. He did go to the East Factory!"

Liang Xiaoyue comforted her next to her!

Ouyang Chengxu's mother was not relieved, but asked again: "So, will that adult tell Xu'er? If you don't say anything, wouldn't it be in vain for our efforts? Maybe Mrs. Murong didn't tell him?"

Liang Xiaoyue was also a little suspicious, but at the moment of her, of course she could not say this. She said immediately: "Er Niang, these two are big shots, so naturally they keep their word. Of course they won't lie to us. Don't worry, wait patiently, I think the time is about to be over!"

As he was speaking, the servant outside hurriedly ran in and said, "Second Madam, Grandma, the Second Young Master is back!"

"Quick, hurry, go in!"

Ouyang Chengxu's mother said quickly, fearing that her son would see them waiting outside, so she and Liang Xiaoyue hurried into the house, thinking nothing had happened, if the adult told him, he should come back to find his own. If he didn't say anything, he might not come to find him. Of course, their expectations were the first case!

Along the way, Ouyang Chengxu was also thinking about this question, what should he do? If Yu'er didn't object, he would marry her and then immediately cross the sea. To be honest, Ding Zicai and the others were wiped out on the sea at the beginning, and no one could guarantee that this would be safe on the sea. If he had something, wouldn't it harm others? But if he didn't marry her, would he become an unfilial son in the eyes of that adult?
