Lingquan after kitchen

Chapter 12
Ouyang Jinhua began to teach Wing Chun, which Ouyang Jinfeng yearned for.

The brothers and sisters go to bed early and get up early every day, and eat on time and according to the amount, which is very regular.

They walked with Ding Shichen in the morning, then went back to the yard to play Wing Chun, had breakfast, ate some fruit, went to the kitchen to cook food or went to the mountains to catch wild fish and wild mushrooms to learn herbs, had lunch and lunch break at noon, and then had a rest. I went to see Ding Weiying first, and then talked with Ding Shi all afternoon. After dinner, I took a walk in the Zhuangzi, and took a bath and rested in the dark.

Ding Weiying was confinement, and in order to strengthen her body, she often went up the mountain with her siblings for exercise.

Ding Weiying's parents and three little nephews and nieces came from other places, which made her feel better, the flesh on her cheeks grew back, her eyes became radiant, and her skin became radiant.

When Mrs. Wang came to Zhuangzi again to organize Mrs. Ding's birthday, as Ouyang Jinhua had promised, all the scars on Ouyang Jinfeng's face and body had disappeared, and his skin was as smooth and tender as ever.

Wang's visit this time brought a piece of bad news.

The Kong family not only let the imperial officials attend Ouyang Teng with a memorial, but also let Sun Meiren, who had just been promoted to the fourth rank in the palace, blow pillow breeze in front of the emperor. The old lady of the Kong family also brought Kong Yiwen into the palace to cry to the queen. Let Madam Kong see the emperor.

Fortunately, Wang Jieyu found an opportunity to tell the vicious things Kong Yiwen did in front of the emperor, and said a few fair words for Ouyang Teng, so Ouyang Teng's official position was saved.

The emperor fined Ouyang Yue half a year's salary, and avoided the door for a month.

Ouyang Jinye was very grateful, and said, "Thank you, Auntie and Lady Jieyu."

Ding couldn't be happy at all, and said in a deep voice: "This time, Niang Jieyu offended Kong Meiren and the queen for our family."

Ouyang Jinye's expression was cloudy.The queen is the prince's biological mother.Ouyang Jinye had done so many things for the prince, this time his biological father was in trouble, the prince didn't help, let alone the queen stabbed him in the back.

Ouyang Jinhua thought to himself, the harem must not interfere in the government affairs.Didn't the Dahua Dynasty have such court regulations?
Mrs. Wang said slowly: "Mother, I met my sister in the palace the day before yesterday. She said that she had an enmity with Kong Meiren, but she did not have any enmity with the empress." After a pause, she said in a low voice: "My sister said that the empress took money from the Kong family. , promised Madam Confucius face to face."

Ding Weiying pondered for a long time, then said: "Auntie, did Empress Jieyu give money to the queen?"

Mrs. Wang nodded, seeing Ding's eyes were red and about to cry, she said, "Mother, don't worry, the money is from our family, not from my sister."

Ding couldn't help asking: "How much?"

Mrs. Wang stretched out four fingers, and said: "The empress will do things after receiving the money, and because of this, she has become closer to my sister."

Ding Weiying lost her voice: "4 taels of silver?"

"If you can't get 4000 taels of silver, it's 4 taels." Mrs. Wang sighed softly, "The Kong family gave the queen [-] taels of silver."

Ouyang Jinye lost his voice and said: "The family doesn't have that much money, so they can only sell the shops and fields."

Ding's shoulders trembled with anger.

"There are no shops or fields for sale." Mrs. Wang winked at Ouyang Jinye and Ding Weiying, and refused to let them follow. She helped Mrs. Ding go to the inner room, and said, "Mother, my sister said that the queen has agreed, and I will wait for you in a few days." After the rumors have passed, I will issue a decree to end the matter between eldest brother and Kong Yiwen. In this way, the Kong family will not want to cause any more disturbances in the future and affect the official career of eldest brother."

When Ouyang Jinhua heard this, he wondered if the queen wanted to overthrow the late emperor's will and let the uncle and the uncle reconcile?

Mrs. Ding stood still, stared at Mrs. Wang, and asked, "You paid for the money, right?"

Mrs. Wang shook her head and said, "Mother, elder brother took 5000 taels, and the rest came from Jinhua."

Ouyang Jinhua stood behind the two of them and heard it inexplicably.Heart said: Don't say I don't have this money, even if I did, when and where did I give it to uncle?
Ding was very surprised, turned to look at Ouyang Jinhua with picturesque eyebrows, and asked, "Jinhua?"

Wang couldn't help laughing and said: "You don't know, your granddaughter asked your second grandson to go to the south to sell ice-making recipes, earning money that our family can't spend in a few lifetimes." Seeing Ding's shocked and happy With an expression on his face, he said: "Twenty-five thousand taels of silver is just a small part."

With tears in her eyes, Ding said gratefully: "My Jinhua, you have done your uncle a great favor, and you have also helped me a great favor!"

Only now did Ouyang Jinhua know that Ouyang Jinyu had secretly sent someone to send the banknote back to Chang'an. According to Wang's tone, the amount of the banknote was so large that he gave it to Ouyang Teng for two months without saying hello to her. 5000 taels.

Wang said with a smile: "Brother said, Jinhua is a good boy, he usually doesn't speak nice words, but only does practical things to help his relatives at critical moments."

"Yes." Ding praised: "My Jinhua is very filial to my old lady, walks with me in the morning every day, cooks delicious new food for me every day, and talks with me every day."

"You guys make it seem like I'm not me." Ouyang Jinhua paused, and said with a smile: "I seem to be better than what you say."

Wang Shi then laughed to Ding Shi: "This thick-skinned person is actually praising himself."

But Ding said: "My Jinhua is good in everything."

Ouyang Jinfeng sat on Wang's lap and acted like a baby, and asked, "Why didn't the third brother come?"

Wang said: "He's going to school. He misses you."

Ouyang Jinfeng pouted and said, "I miss my third brother too."

"You two brothers quarrel when you meet, and you still think about it when you don't see each other." Wang stretched out her hand to pinch the flesh on the younger son's cheek and asked, "Did mother misunderstand, you lost weight?"

Ouyang Jinfeng giggled and said, "Mother, sister said, if I practice boxing every day, I will be as handsome as my second brother when I grow up."

Ding pointed to the little grandson and said to Wang: "He has enjoyed eating and playing in Zhuangzi these days. You can ask him what he does every day."

Ouyang Jinye and Ding Weiying were sitting in the outer room with serious expressions and listless faces. When they saw Ouyang Jinhua coming out from the inner room, they got up to meet him at the same time.

Ouyang Jinhua looked at the eldest brother, and said: "Uncle's matter will come to an end in the near future. No matter what, don't be sad." He said in his heart: Uncle and Kong Yiwen were married by the first emperor. For two silver coins, the emperor won all kinds of favors from the queen, Kong Meiren, and my aunt.Both our family and the Kong family have lost a lot in this marriage, and only the royal family has benefited.
