A lucky wife born again from a farm family

"It's just that I have to work hard for my brother to clean up the mess for me... My brother is already over eighty and should have enjoyed his old age long ago, but I still want to drag him into such a disaster." When Mr. Ouyang said this, his voice Somewhat choked up, he opened a new bank to help farmers. The person who felt most guilty was his eldest brother.

Mr. Ouyang said, looked at Gu Jinan and said: "You know, I am not good at the second level, I should be the sixth level. But at that time, the two dynasties were at odds, and there had been wars for many years. Even though my family was rich, there were many servants to serve me. But several brothers and sisters below the eldest brother still died young."

He knew how to do two things. Before his mother died, he asked his eldest brother to change it for him. She said that she was afraid that he would also die when he started talking to his brother who died young.

"My mother gave birth to me when she was forty-two years old. Before I was born, my father died on the way to escort my mother to the capital to join my elder brother. A few months after giving birth to me, my mother also died due to the exhaustion of her body. And die."

My mother married her father when she was fourteen, and gave birth to her eldest brother when she was sixteen. By the time he was born, his eldest brother was already twenty-six years old. He had become famous in Dachu, married a wife, and gave birth to his eldest nephew.

"The relationship between my father and my eldest brother is not good. Because the eldest brother left the family and went to join Emperor Jingwu, my father was furious. My eldest brother was also angry that my father didn't know his master. The father and son had no contact for many years... So for six years Around this time, after my eldest brother made some achievements in Dachu, he sent letters to my family, but most of the letters were answered by my mother, and my father still refused to forgive me."

In fact, he couldn't let go of the clan members in the old capital. He was afraid that if he had too much contact with his eldest brother, the Ouyang family would be annihilated.

"Later, everything changed because of me. My parents had already lost several children, and they didn't want me, the youngest son, to die in the old capital, so they secretly arranged for me to join my eldest brother... But it backfired, dad. Emperor Ai of the previous dynasty found out about my mother's intention to defect to my eldest brother, and sent troops to chase her all the way. Even though my father and his private soldiers fought hard to resist, he still died on the way."

It was possible to raise private soldiers in the previous dynasties, but after the founding of Chu, Emperor Jingwu was afraid of private soldiers and issued strict orders prohibiting wealthy families and noble officials from raising private soldiers or building forts.

"It was my eldest brother who arrived with people and saved my mother and me in her belly."

It's just that the eldest brother didn't get to see his father for the last time, and he couldn't even get his father's body back from the capital... Emperor Ai's soldiers took his father's body back and hung it at the gate of the old capital for a month. Finally, he was cremated and his ashes were directly transferred to the capital. It was sprinkled into the moat, and no bones were left!

Emperor Ai used this method to frighten those in the old dynasty who wanted to defect to Emperor Jingwu.

When the eldest brother heard about this, he was in agony and fainted several times, but he did not ask Emperor Jingwu to send troops to retrieve his father's body. The eldest brother knew very well that Emperor Jingwu would not send troops to attack the old capital just because he was a minister.

There were many capable ministers who followed Emperor Jingwu back then, and his eldest brother could only be considered a newcomer.

The eldest brother had no choice but to try his best to be kind to him. Especially after his mother passed away, the eldest brother took him with him who had just turned 100 days old and took care of him personally.

I heard from an old slave at home that he used to cry a lot when he was a child, and his eldest brother would hold him and coax him until dawn.

Before he got married, his eldest brother took care of all his food, clothing, housing and transportation himself and took good care of him. The eldest nephew even cried several times because of this, saying that he had robbed his father.

Speaking of his father, he was ignorant when he was a child and even called his eldest brother daddy. The eldest brother corrected him and said: "I am your brother, not your father, but we are the same parents."

He was still young at that time and didn't listen at all. He just wanted a father. He hugged his elder brother and acted like a baby: "Daddy, daddy! Daddy lied to me. Everyone else has a daddy. How could I not have one? You are my daddy."

He said it with a smile, but his eldest brother cried miserably. Later, his eldest brother allowed him to call him daddy randomly for a while, and then corrected him after the New Year.

Mr. Ouyang told Gu Jinan a lot about his affairs with his eldest brother, and finally said: "My eldest brother has taken care of me all his life. I really shouldn't cause him any more trouble... At his age, I should be the one taking care of him." That’s right.”

Gu Jinan did not expect that Mr. Ouyang would tell him these things. After being surprised, he said: "Sir, students are also elder brothers. In fact, Mr. Ouyang does not ask for anything in return for taking care of you, and he does not expect you to take care of you. Keep these cares in your heart as a favor.”

He added: "Only when the younger brothers and sisters live well, can the elder brother feel at ease. As a brother, if you are kind to your younger brothers and sisters, you just want peace of mind, and you never want anything in return."

"I know." Mr. Ouyang naturally knew this, but he still felt guilty.

There was silence in the room for a moment, and Mr. Ouyang looked at Gu Jinan again and said, "Did you know that I agreed to teach Brother Cheng for three reasons, and among these three reasons, none of them were because of Brother Cheng, but you took advantage of it." Got one of them.”

Brother Cheng is very smart, but he has seen a lot of smart children, such as Qilinzi, and there are so many great ones. He can't be his husband just because this child is smart.

On the other hand, Brother Wang is more interesting. If he wanted to recruit a disciple, he might take someone with a weird mind like Brother Wang.

"You are very smart. For the sake of Brother Cheng's future, you brought him to see me. You seized every opportunity to let me be his husband. At that time, I thought of my eldest brother. My eldest brother once asked me for help. The former Duke Feng and Mr. Guan Hai, after using all their efforts, finally allowed these two gentlemen to accept me and teach me together for several years."

Feng Gong is the father of Lord Feng, who formulated the criminal laws of Dachu, and the grandfather of Lord Feng, the former Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment. Mr. Guan Hai's status is even more transcendent, and he can be said to be the guide of Emperor Jingwu.

The eldest brother found him a teacher like Mr. Guan Hai, and directly put him into the ranks of Emperor Jingwu's confidants, so that even if he did not serve as an official in the court, he would still be respected by the royal family for a lifetime.

Gu Jinan had never met Ouyang Hong, but had only read some of his articles. He thought he was a transcendent great scholar, a master of two generations of emperors, and a figure in the Chu Kingdom. But after listening to Mr. Ouyang's words, he knew Mr. Ouyang Hong is not the Immortal Yundian, but an ordinary person of flesh and blood who also works for his younger brother.

"Sir, why don't you take advantage of the tax issue to go back to the capital and meet Mr. Ouyang." Gu Jinan suggested that Mr. Ouyang missed and was reluctant to leave Ouyang Hong.

After hearing this, Mr. Ouyang was silent again for a while, and finally shook his head and said, "You can't go back."

"Can't go back?" Gu Jinan frowned, thought for a while, and said: "With Mr. Ouyang's status, the emperor will not do anything to you. Sir, you can go back to visit Mr. Ouyang with peace of mind."

Mr. Ouyang still shook his head: "I only told you one reason for teaching Brother Cheng, but you don't know two of them."

In fact, he stayed in the south for so long because of his elder brother's order.
