Ouyang Lun felt a little better after being comforted by several people one after another. I am a scholar, but can a villain like Han Du compare with me? However, Princess Anqing was his fiancée, and being so coveted by others made Ouyang Lun feel uncomfortable.
"Hmph! Han Du is so shameless. He did such a thing. He is not a scholar." Ouyang Lun slammed the table and said with anger on his face.
"Yes, yes, people like him are simply a disgrace to scholars. Why does he have the nerve to be an official? We must not allow such a shameless person to live in the temple, and we must expose his true face... "
As soon as these words came out, they were echoed by several people's orders.
Ouyang Lun glanced at a few people and nodded slightly with satisfaction. He is a Jinshi, why should he be friends with these people of the same year? It’s just for this moment. Otherwise, if he really thought that his Ouyang family's money was brought by the strong wind, how could he treat these people to eat, drink and have fun every day? Isn't the purpose of being friendly with them just to make them lean towards you?
Although these people are all Jinshi like Ouyang Lun, they are all at the bottom of the rankings. In addition, their family background is not very good, so naturally they are very interested in his small favors. But we cannot underestimate these people. These people are all legitimate Jinshi. Compared with the reserve cadres of the imperial court, they will all become officials in the future. In the beginning, they may not have high official positions, but they have great potential.
Historically, there are many examples of people who were born as Jinshi and ended up as highly respected ministers. On the contrary, there were very few people who won the first prize in every imperial examination and made achievements in their official careers. This also fully shows that those who are good at exams are not necessarily the most suitable for officials.
And these people are not just themselves. They have passed the exam all the way, and there are naturally a large number of candidates and scholars behind them who have failed. Even though these people act like little fans in front of Ouyang Lun and only obey Ouyang Lun's words, their classmates who failed the exam are also these people's little fans. In the eyes of their classmates, they are the ones who have won the gold medal, and those classmates naturally obey their words.
"How can such a villain be allowed to live so freely? I am not talented. When I go back this time, I will write a submission and swear to expose Han Du's despicable behavior to the world."
"Yes, in this way, let's see what kind of appearance he can have in the high court."
"Go together, go together, let's act together and vow to make the momentum bigger so that everyone in the world can clearly see Han Du's ferocious face."
Ouyang Lun looked at the people in front of him who were indignantly trying to stand up for him. He sighed softly, attracting everyone's attention to him. Only then did Shi Shiran bow his hands and bow to several people with a sad face: "Lun, thank you for upholding justice. This matter involves the princess. If Lun intervenes, it may cause the emperor's displeasure; if he stops here, he will let the villain Deyi, Lun really doesn’t know what to do. Fortunately, all brothers have spoken up, and Lun is grateful."
"Brother Ouyang is indeed not easy to take action in this matter, but brother Ouyang, let it go, I will not let that villain Han Du succeed."
"That's right, Brother Ouyang, please rest assured. We can't repay Brother Ouyang for his kindness in the past. Now is the time."
Everyone spoke impassionedly, as if they were afraid that if they spoke slower, they would lose their affection in front of Ouyang Lun.
"Well, let's forget it. After all, this matter involves the royal family. If you rashly stand up for me, if you cause displeasure to the superiors, wouldn't it ruin your future?"
"Brother Ouyang, please don't say such things," a fellow of the same year promptly stopped Ouyang Lun's words and said with a bit of disdain: "To be honest, I don't want to because of the fact that she is my wife. Mentioned. If it weren't for Brother Ouyang, haha..." There was a strong sense of contempt in the words, and there was a gesture that did not take the identity of Princess Anqing into consideration at all. It seems that in their eyes, Princess Anqing's identity is not as good as Ouyang Lun's face.
Ouyang Lun looked at the few people with a face filled with shame and sneered in his heart. What a bunch of fools. Sometimes Ouyang Lun even doubts how they can get into the Jinshi with such intelligence?
The royal family, which even they have to lick their faces to fawn over, is nothing more than that in their eyes? Who gives them confidence. Even if she is a princess, so what? Are they qualified to look down on her? Even I am afraid of the royal family, otherwise wouldn't I be angry if something like this happened? But what if he is angry? Can he still speak out in front of the royal family? They can only knock out teeth and swallow blood. They don't even dare to say a harsh word, and they still have to use their mouths to say it? Although they look like well-dressed scholars, in fact they are just a few reckless men who don't know how high the sky is.
However, what he needs is exactly this kind of reckless man. If he were replaced by a smart man, it would be difficult.
"Lun, I can't thank you enough..." Ouyang Lun bowed again with a sad face, but what he actually thought in his heart was, "Go and do it. It's best not to come to me if something happens, because I I have 'persuaded' you a long time ago."
"Brother Ouyang, I'll take my leave. Just wait for the good news..."
Seeing Ouyang Lun being so humble and submissive, several people were filled with indignation and refused to waste a moment, hurried back to attack Han Du.
After putting on a full show and waiting for everyone to leave, Ouyang Lun went to pay the bills and staggered home with a sad face.
...
Mingjingzhai, the temporary residence of the Han family.
Han Du drank tea in a limited manner, while the others, including his father, mother and sister, looked directly at Han Du, as if they were interrogating a prisoner.
Fortunately, Han Du's mental quality is very strong. Even when he is being interrogated by the whole family in front of him, he can still be calm and drink tea leisurely without saying a word.
In the end, my father couldn't bear it anymore and asked: "Your mother said she wanted to marry you before, but you firmly disagreed and said that you already have a sweetheart. The sweetheart you said at that time couldn't be, it couldn't be... Princess Anqing, right?"
Han Du tasted the tea in his mouth, swallowed it slowly, then looked up at his father and asked, "Is there any problem?"
What is the problem? Hande was stunned when he heard this. Of course there is a problem. Don't you know that once you marry a princess, you can't take another concubine? Although Han Du is not the only male in the family, Han Du still hopes that the Han family can flourish. Although Hande himself and the Liu family gave birth to two boys and a girl, from the bottom of his heart, he still hoped to have many children and grandchildren, and the more the better.
