Chapter 1007 Family conflict

Seeing the tenacious gaze in his son's eyes, her mother was still surprised, but she still persuaded: "Child, is that that important?"

She is a person of duty. Ouyang Ming's one night of love didn't expect him to get pregnant. However, this is also the flesh and blood of the Ouyang family. In addition, he is the maid whom Ouyang Ming's mother loves the most, so he accepted it as a concubine. However, Ouyang Ming had a descendant before this, so Ouyang Chengxu was born just a second child. After all, his mother was a maid, so there were not many people in this family to look down on it. This seemed to be a common problem among these big families!

However, she is honest. The reason why Ouyang Ming's mother was relieved to let her marry her son was largely aware of this. Even though she was humble, she also gave birth to a son, she would not be busy fighting for favor all day like other people, but instead lived a life honestly.

But his behavior does not mean that others are like this. She will have the intention of having a son to compete for family property, so the rest of the people are guarding against her like thieves, but her personality is cowardly and at the same time, she is tolerant.

But Ouyang Chengxu is definitely not of this personality. He is very strong, largely because he was bullied by others because he saw his mother's weakness. Of course, because this mother was bullied, he naturally was not better than that, and was excluded by other brothers!

Because of this, although he usually seems a bit careless in the eyes of others, in a certain way, he is forced out, in the eyes of others, so he is a careless in the eyes of others, so naturally he has no competitiveness. Of course, this is also a way to protect himself!

Now, Ouyang Chengxu feels that there is no need for him to be as usual. Now that the court has given him this opportunity, he should naturally cherish it. Although his family is rich, he has never been an official in the court since the beginning. Even a ninth-rank sesame official, no one in the family regards this family as a person. Now, if he has the opportunity to become a fourth-rank official all at once, this is a good thing that has fallen into the world, and he has no reason to refuse. Moreover, if he succeeds, then what is waiting for him may not be glory and wealth, but at least he is proud and outstanding.

In that case, no one in this family will despise him, and he will be able to support himself in this family, and his mother will not be bullied by those people!

Thinking of this, Ouyang Chengxu suddenly felt like he had infinite motivation. Under this motivation, all the hardships are not worth mentioning. As the saying goes, only by suffering can one become the best!

She felt firmness in her own son's eyes, which also surprised her as a mother. As a mother, it is of course a very happy thing to see her son attending, but she is calm but she doesn't want to see that there is always an irreconcilable conflict between her son and his father. This is why she felt very embarrassed and pondered for a moment, then said: "Xu'er, why don't you go to see your father, I think he should have a lot of things to say to you, right?"

"I want to say a lot of things to me?"

Ouyang Chengxu showed a sarcastic smile on his lips and said, "Mother, the only thing he could tell me is to ask how my progress is. In his eyes, haven't I been so incompetent?"

She immediately shook her head and said, "No, actually your father loves you very much. I know this, he often mentions you!"

"Okay, mother, I get it!"

Ouyang Chengxu was a little impatient, put down his chopsticks and said, "I'll eat it!"

The two in her eyes were a little disappointed. Of course, she also knew that her son was not eating well, and the food in the rice bowl did not move much. Usually, the son doesn’t just eat this little bit of rice!

However, now his son is clearly impatient, and of course it is not easy to stay. After all, he is very tired in this short period of time. Although the court has given very generous conditions, it does not mean that it can be obtained easily. Of course, it requires a welcome work. Moreover, this is also a competition, and only the winner can achieve the ultimate success.

He sighed slightly in his heart, and felt that it was in vain to try to resolve the conflict between the father and son. He stood up, picked up the plate, and said, "Then you have a good rest and don't get tired of yourself!"

After saying that, he walked out and then gently closed the door!

Seeing his mother go out, Ouyang Chengxu felt not very good. His mother was very miserable. Of course, he knew, but he really didn't know how to face his father. Although he raised him, he did not get any fatherly love at all. Indeed, he did not lack money, but what he wanted was actually not money!

After thinking about it, Ouyang Chengxu took out his notes. The results he recorded were recorded. He remembered clearly from the beginning to the end of the weapon, even including how many people needed for each link, and of course, there is also how much monthly money these people have per month. After all, this family is a family of merchants, so of course they are very clear about doing business. Those things need to be calculated in the cost, so of course they are clear!

It took less time for Ouyang Chengxu to complete all the statistics. Of course, he also knew how much silver a cannon would cost from the initial forging to the final weapon experiment. However, this result made Ouyang Chenxu very dissatisfied. The price of this cannon was really too low to people's expectations. How much silver could the court make if sold at this price?

Thinking of this, Ouyang Chengxu was a little puzzled if he had calculated the wrong calculation, so he calculated it again, but unfortunately, the answer was the same. This made Ouyang Chengxu wonder why there was such a result? What's wrong with this?

But no matter how you think about it, I felt something was wrong, but I didn't know where the wrong thing was. When I thought that this matter was related to my future, I couldn't help but feel a little panicked. I stood up and walked around the room back and forth, but I couldn't find any solution. To a large extent, I didn't know what enemy I was wrong with. Selling a product is like my own home. At least I had to know what raw material it is, and how much the raw material is worth, and how much labor it was used for transportation, and how much it was used, and how much it could be earned by myself. Considering the bargaining of the people and the competition from my peers, these will become specific factors that determine the price. But why can't I make a very strong judgment now? Should I say that I am wrong and should I investigate? But if I can't investigate, how can I know the price?

"Young master, the old lady wants to see you and want you to go to her place!"

The voice of the maid came from outside!

Ouyang Chengxu stopped taking steps, thought for a while, and said, "I understand, I'll come soon!"

This old lady is Ouyang Chengxu's grandmother. Ouyang Chengxu's mother is actually her favorite maid. She also advocated marrying her to her son. In the Ouyang family, Ouyang Chengxu's grandfather passed away when Ouyang Chengxu was three years old. And in this family, this grandmother is the best for her, probably a kind of love for the house and the country. In this family, the one who talks about the deepest feelings is of course also with her mother and grandmother!

Although it was a little late now, Ouyang Chengxu still had to meet him. After agreeing, he blew the light, closed the door, and walked towards his grandma's room!

After Ouyang Chengxu left, two figures came to the door of his room. Then, the door was pushed open. One of them was holding a small fire note in his hand. After it was blown up, the faint light of the fire note was then you could see some things in the room clearly. Soon, his eyes were attracted by the records that Ouyang Chengxu did not put into the cabinet on the table. After flipping through it a few times, the face was happy, and then he quietly went out, nodded to the other person, closed the door, and left quietly!

After coming to a secluded place, he handed his book to another person and said, "Brother, it seems that this is it!"

This so-called elder brother is actually Ouyang Chengxu's half-brother Ouyang Chengmu, and his third brother Ouyang Chengru.

Ouyang Chengmu took it, nodded slightly, and said, "Okay, you remember, no one can tell this matter today, do you understand?"

Ouyang Chengru nodded and smiled and said, "Brother, I'm so stupid, of course I can't tell anyone else. Okay, I'll go back to my room first!"

Ouyang Chengmu nodded, kicked the thing into his arms, then returned to his room and closed the door!

"You guys, where have you been going in the cold weather?"

Ouyang Chengmu's original wife asked a little unhappy. She was sitting by the bed, embroidering flowers boredly. Her name was Liang Xiaoyue. She was also born in the famous Liang family in this capital, and her father was Liang Ren!

"I went to get some stuff!"

Ouyang Chengmu said, and then he didn't even look at it, so he threw the things in his arms into the stove in the room. The raging fire instantly swallowed the book!

"What are you burning?"

Liang Xiaoyue couldn't help but be surprised. When she went forward, she saw that although the fire in the stove was very strong, the book did not burn out at once. She was surprised and said, "Isn't this the second uncle's notes? Well, what did you burn?"

"You can recognize it clearly!"

Ouyang Chengmu said with some displeasure!

Liang Xiaoyue also heard that her husband was a little unhappy and smiled and said, "Okay, what's so surprising about this? Under the eaves, what's wrong with the words I know about him? By the way, what did you burn?"

"What he burned is what he checked in this short time!"

Ouyang Chengmu said a little gloomy. He never expected that the boy would have such good luck. The prince Wang of the court actually gave him such a chance. The fourth-rank official in the court was not a small official!

Liang Xiaoyue couldn't help but say, "You think he's busy for a while? Is it the one recommended by Murong Yan, and then Lord Wang gave him a chance to compete. After winning, he will be the fourth-rank official of the court."

After all, I am from this Ouyang family, so of course I know very well about these things, not to mention that this matter has been causing a lot of controversy at home here!

"Don't call me so intimately, Lord Wang, don't forget that your father was called by Lord Wang for a good lesson because of the Murong Yan incident!"

Ouyang Chengmu said with a sneer!

"That's what he deserves!"

Liang Xiaoyue had no intention of defending her father, saying, "Although I have no contact with Murong Yan, I still admire others. A woman who can get the emperor's imperial gold plaque is to give a face to a woman! Unfortunately, Liang Xiaoyue, I, don't know that something is wrong, and my father and others actually say those words. Don't you know that the backer behind others is that it's so big that I didn't know that they locked them up and that my ancestors would bless me!"

Her words made Ouyang Chengmu very unhappy. In his eyes, Ouyang Chengxu had such opportunities now, and they were recommended by Murong Yan. Now his wife actually praised the person he hated in front of him, which made him very upset and shouted: "Okay, I'm saying that's not enough!"

After saying that, he walked straight to the bed, then lay on the bed with his pillow looking at the roof!

Liang Xiaoyue came over at this time and said softly: "Okay, why are you angry? In fact, in my eyes, it is definitely a good thing for this second uncle to have this opportunity, and it is also a good thing for you to your husband. You think, you and your father are all dealing with the Ouyang family's business now. Although you have joined the Chamber of Commerce and earn a lot of money every year, we don't have to listen to others in the Chamber of Commerce and can't speak at all. I heard that if the second uncle wins, he is a fourth-rank official and is also responsible for overseas use.

As a result, we have at least a backer. He will naturally not refuse to let him open the back door in the future. On the other hand, isn’t there any regulations in the court? As an official, he is not allowed to do business, so if he becomes an official, he cannot interfere in the affairs of the Ouyang family. Waiting for his father a hundred years, everything in the Ouyang family will be yours. On the contrary, if he can’t win the competition, he may still compete with you for the property in the end. If he comes to do business, maybe the father will let him inherit the property in the end. Husband, have you thought of this?"

After hearing his wife's words, Ouyang Chengmu suddenly felt something really reasonable, and he couldn't help but say in surprise: "Where do you hear these?"

Liang Xiaoyue smiled and lay on Ouyang Chengmu's chest and said, "What do you think? I heard from my family members, and then I thought that because this family seemed very unhappy about the second uncle having this opportunity, I think it's a good thing for you to be a husband. I just saw you a little depressed, so I said it out, but, you just burned your second uncle's things, will it have some impact on him?"

"What else can I do if I burn it?"

Ouyang Chengmu said angrily. To be honest, just as his wife said, if his younger brother becomes an official, it is indeed a good thing for him. Once he becomes an official, the business in this family cannot be managed. In this way, he has given up inheriting his family property in one aspect. In comparison, his third brother is more dangerous, and this Sanniang is not a fuel-efficient lamp no matter how he thinks he is! Does burning his second brother's book have some impact on him? If this is true, wouldn't he have done something stupid? But if he has done it all, of course it is impossible to ask him to explain it clearly!

On the other hand, Ouyang Chengxu was led by the maid and came to his grandmother's room. This room was located in a room on the south side. The sun was better here, so she lived in herself!

The lights in the room are still on. After walking in, I found that there were some very exquisite pastries on the table inside the dance!

"I didn't have supper, so eat these to cushion your belly. I asked the servants to make some bird's nest and it will be fine soon!"

The voice of his grandmother came. Ouyang Chengxu turned his head and saw that his grandmother was walking out of the house. He immediately met him and said, "Grandma!"

She nodded and said, "Let's eat something first!"

Ouyang Chengxu nodded. His grandmother had no choice but to refuse the kindness of her grandmother, so he picked up the pastry and started eating. His stomach was indeed hungry. His mother just brought the things over, but she had no appetite just now. It was largely because his mother said something she didn't want to hear. Of course, she still understands her mother quite well. Of course, that might be for her own good. She was indeed a little reckless when she was angry with her at that time!

"How is your matter going?"

She asked, to be honest, she still liked this second child. She usually looks careless, but like his mother, she looks like a good person. The eldest brother is a little more scheming. The third brother is too arrogant and looks down on others, especially the poor. You must know that the Ouyang family is not so rich as soon as they came out. They were not poor at the beginning? They achieved their achievements today in this step! So she was still quite disgusted with this!

Ouyang Chengxu stopped and said, "The progress is pretty good, but I don't know some problems now, but I believe they will be solved soon. Although I don't know where the problem occurs, this makes me feel a little nervous!"
