Chapter 158: Diplomatic Means

Chapter 1,58 Diplomatic Methods

The next morning, Ouyang Chengxu got up. As the time for the mission approached, even after the wedding, he had not rested now. And for him, he had been delayed for two days. The most precious thing now is time!

Yu'er's back is now facing Ouyang Chengxu. Last night, another girl turned into a woman, and she was a little exhausted. As for the white cloth with precious fallen red, she is still on the bed!

Yu'er woke up from Ouyang Chengxu's movement. Before he got married, he would get up early every day. Now he is used to it. Although he has been married, the habit has not changed, so he sat up straight!

Seeing this, Ouyang Chengxu hurriedly said, "You are sleeping for a while, it's still early!"

Yu'er shook her head and said, "It's getting late. Besides, I have to pay my respects to my mother-in-law!"

On the morning of the second marriage, the bride and groom wanted to go to see their parents-in-law together. At this time, the groom also had to introduce everyone in the family to the bride, and then the bride and groom would serve tea to the elders. This is also a kind of etiquette. Before getting married, all of these etiquettes must be taught to Yu'er, so Yu'er also knows it!

Ouyang Chengxu nodded, got out of bed first, then went to help Yu'er, and Yu'er stood up and frowned slightly! But he still gritted his teeth and stood up!

The two maids waiting outside the door also pushed the door and walked in, and brought in new clothes for the two. After all, yesterday they were all wedding clothes. One of them also walked to the bed and started to make the bed. Of course, she also had a very important task, which was to check if there was a red color, and then go back and tell Ouyang Chengxu's mother!

Yu'er understood what was going on, so of course she naturally didn't stop her. Instead, she put on her clothes and came to the dressing table. The mirror in front of her began to dress herself, and Ouyang Chengxu had already started to wear clothes under the service of another maid!

The maid who made the bed quickly saw the white cloth on the bed, with blood on it like plum blossoms. She quietly folded it and put it in her arms!

After tidying up the bed, she left the room first and hurried to the hall. Ouyang Chengxu's mother, Ouyang Ming, Ouyang Chengmu, Liang Xiaoyue, Sanniang, and Ouyang Chengru, Ouyang Chengxu's grandmother were already in the hall at this time. Yesterday was a big day, and today was also a big day.

After a while, the maid rushed over and then came to Ouyang Chengxu's mother's presence. Then she took out the blood-stained white cloth and handed it over quietly!

Ouyang Chengxu's mother took the white cloth, looked carefully, and then her heart suddenly relaxed. In this way, Yu'er was the veritable second young lady of the Ouyang family!

In the room, Yu'er has now dressed up, and her hair bun has changed. After all, she is a woman, not a girl. Then Ouyang Chengxu took his hand and came to the hall. Now the hall is full of people!

The oldest one is of course Ouyang Chengxu's grandmother. Of course, the first thing to pay homage to her is her. So the two of them walked to her place, then knelt down together, kowtowed and said, "Great Son (grandson-in-law) to pay tribute to grandma!"

Ouyang Chengxu's grandmother likes Ouyang Chengxu's grandson the most. Now his grandson is well-behaved, so he is so happy that he can't stop talking. He immediately smiled and said, "Okay, okay, get up quickly!"

After the two of them got up, each handed over a red envelope, and the two hurriedly thanked them!

After thanking this grandma, the two came to Ouyang Ming and his wife again. Now Ouyang Chengxu's mother looked at Yu'er and the more she looked at it, the more she liked it. What's more, the red-colored white cloth just now proved Yu'er's chastity. This is the most important thing for this woman.

After the two knelt down respectfully and kowtowed, the maid also brought tea. Although the Sanniang was not Ouyang Chengxu's personal mother, she was still among the tea-selling people!

After drinking the tea handed over by his daughter-in-law, Ouyang Chengxu's mother took out an exquisite jade bracelet from her arms and said, "This jade bracelet was given to me by this mother when I married the master. It was also this heirloom of the Ouyang family. Now I will hand it over to you!"

After saying that, he took Yu'er's hand and put it on her hand himself!

"Thank you mother!"

Yu'er thanked quickly!

Ouyang Chengxu's mother nodded with a smile!

Afterwards, Ouyang Chengxu introduced all the people in the family to Yu'er and met him again. Although Yu'er had already known everyone, of course, except for the aunt, she was reflecting on her parents' home. Even if Ouyang Chengxu became married, she did not notify her of a big deal. Of course, another reason is that it was too far away and there was no way to notify her at all!

Afterwards, the family also had breakfast together in a friendly manner. Now Yu'er is the wife of the second young master of the Ouyang family, not the former female figure!

Originally, Ouyang Chengxu should have accompanied Yu'er after marriage, but there were still many things to do, so he hurriedly went straight to the yamen after dinner. For him, this is also the top priority now!

Ouyang Chengxu came to the yamen and was surprised to many people, but in a blink of an eye, he thought that now it has reached the most critical moment, what dares to delay there!

However, as soon as Ouyang Chengxu arrived, the Jianglang came. Seeing that Ouyang Chengxu had actually come, he nodded slightly and then said, "Let's go, let's go with me!"

Now that I am on an envoy, I should tell him some things too!

Ouyang Chengxu nodded quickly and followed. The two of them did not walk far away. They were in the yamen of the Ministry of Works. The yamen was not too slaughter. There was still a place to walk. After walking for a while, Jiang Lang said: "Do you still remember the route I told you before?"

Of course Ouyang Chengxu remembered, and said immediately: "Sir, please remember that after you go this time, you will go to your wife's place and pick up your wife at the first stop!

Jiang Lang nodded. The navy and Ouyang Chengxu who were on the mission this time were carefully selected by themselves, and the secret letter he had given to Sun Yuanbiao had already made very detailed arrangements. When Zi Ling and the others boarded the boat, they also had a batch of treasures mixed in the gifts and secretly boarded the boat. Although Jiang Lang had never been promoted, this does not mean that Jiang Lang was just a poor man. When he attacked overseas, he naturally plundered a lot of treasures and transported them back. Of course, Jiang Lang also left some of them, but not a few of them.

People just know it, but once something happens to them, the wealth is enough for the family to live a good life. The people they sent out are absolutely sincere to them and will completely obey Sun Yuanbiao's orders. Once something happens to them, these people will take on the task of protecting Ziling and the others, and find a place that no one knows to live a good life. Of course, dealing with these people is not something that ordinary troops can do. Only by leaving themselves without worries can they fully perform!

Ouyang Chengxu didn't know what Jiang Lang was planning. He wouldn't have thought that a serious official who was loyal to the court would be planning other plans in his mind, and he completely regarded all this as his idea of ​​asking several wives to go out and relax!

After nodding, Jiang Lang continued, "Another thing, I actually know, those adults are very targeting you during this period!"

Ouyang Chengxu was not surprised. The entire Dongchang was under the control of this adult. How could he not know about the things that these adults made difficult for him? But of course they could not complain in front of him. So he smiled and said, "Actually, it's not a big deal to make things difficult for me. Those things should be something I need to know. They are just like my teacher, but they just changed their method!"

Jiang Lang smiled slightly and said, "I'm very happy that you can think like this. You're going to be on a mission. I won't hide some things from you anymore. The reason why those adults are embarrassed about you is because they have obeyed my order!"

Ouyang Chengxu was shocked now. What these people did was because they were ordered to act? So why did he do this? But after his mind changed, he immediately understood!

Jiang Lang said: "The so-called death will lead to life. Only when this person is under pressure can he be motivated. The reason why I am embarrassed by those adults is that you can take the initiative to learn something you don't know, rather than passive. Although it can also achieve the goal, I still like this method more!"

Human potential is infinite. Jiang Lang naturally thought about this carefully, so he came up with this method. Only by putting him in that predicament is like throwing a person into an uninhabited jungle. In order to survive, he dares to do things that he doesn’t dare to do or think about in normal times!

Jiang Lang, who has experienced these, naturally knows this very clearly!

Ouyang Chengxu has adapted to Jiang Lang's method now!

Jiang Lang added at this time: "So, I will tell you this now, the purpose is to hope that you will not resent them. If you want to resent, that person should be me, and they just don't act on orders!"

Ouyang Chengxu quickly knelt on the ground and said aloud: "Xiaoguan knows that all the things that lords do are for the lords. How can the lords have any resentment? I am like my rebirth of my parents. Without the guidance and support of my lords, the lords are not today. The lords will never forget the great kindness of my lords!"

"Get up!"

Jiang Lang did not express anything. After Ouyang Chengxu got up, he continued: "I will explain these things now, to tell you that they will no longer deliberately make things difficult for you, and you will be on a mission the day after tomorrow, so from now on, you will be colleagues and partners, and you have only one enemy, or your opponents are all in common, that is, the ministers of William's country. Your use of this time will make them afraid of us, and at the same time make them interested in our weapons. Therefore, your task is very heavy. To put it simply, you are all on the same bed. Only by working together can you work together!"

Ouyang Chengxu also understood what Jiang Lang meant and said, "Your Highness understand. Please rest assured. I will definitely work together as the Lord said!"

Jiang Lang nodded and said, "It is the best thing you think this way, which is what I most want to see. Although you have made great progress, dealing with those people on the other side will definitely not be as good as dealing with those adults in our court. You must always be more precarious. It doesn't matter whether this kind of harming others is, but this kind of defense must be! There are so many cunning people, so you have to be careful at all times!"

This harm is also a person from other countries. Of course, Jiang Lang would not care too much, but if he treats other people's ministers as fools, then he is a real fool!

"The minister knows!"

Ouyang Chengxu said quickly.

Jiang Lang continued, "You got married yesterday, and you will be on a mission the day after tomorrow. So for your wife, are you planning?"

Ouyang Chengxu thought about it and planned to take Yu'er with him. Of course, he had to talk about this matter to Jiang Lang. At least he had to ask for his opinion. He said, "I plan to take Yu'er with me, I don't know if it's okay? After all, it's a bit inappropriate to leave her at home just now, but I just don't know if this can be done?"

"Your situation is a bit special. Indeed, if you don't take Yu'er out, she will stay at home for a long time. She has just gotten married and this husband has been away for a year and a half. It's a bit cruel to him. And my wife also plans to go with her. Yu'er has many people talking to each other. Let's do this, you write a memorial and I hand him over to the emperor. Whether you agree or not depends on the emperor's intention. But I think there should be no big problem. If there is any problem, I will try my best to convince him. But there is one thing that I have to explain to you. This sailing is not as simple as you imagine! It is also a very dangerous thing. You have to think it through!"

There are many people in this chamber of commerce who have experienced countless sailings, so Ouyang Chengxu was actually very clear in his heart. He nodded and said, "I have thought about this a long time ago. Yu'er's health is pretty good. After all, she is not as delicate as those ladies of the family. So I will write a memorial immediately now. I'll beg my Lord Wang!"

Jiang Lang nodded and said, "Go, just leave it to me later, I won't leave for the time being! But there is one thing you have to note, in those countries, their women's status is much higher than our Ming Dynasty. They will attend some banquets or cocktail parties. And as an envoy of the Ming Dynasty, if you go this time, you should also go with your wife. In a certain way, it is also a kind of diplomatic relations. So on the way, you should teach your wife all the etiquette and other etiquette to your wife, because you go out represent our Ming Dynasty, and her going out also represents our Ming Dynasty, but they have to let them know that the women of our Ming Dynasty are all beautiful and wisdom coexist! You can't let others see us!"

Ouyang Chengxu didn't expect this and asked immediately: "Sir, you must do this!"

"certainly!"

Jiang Lang nodded. In the future, in peacetime, those heads of state would have to pass by with their own wives. The first ladies of various countries have become a unique landscape, and the first ladies are also a way of diplomacy!

Now Jiang Lang just advanced this method a little bit. Ouyang Chengxu wanted to stay with Yu'er, so why should he use it? This way, let them know that the women of the Ming Dynasty are all well-educated and reasonable, so that Yu'er can also contact the wives of the ministers. After this conversation, Yu'er can also tell these wives what Ouyang Chengxu and the others are inconvenient to say. After these wives go back, they can convey to their husbands, and to a large extent, they can also indirectly achieve some inconvenient goals or influences. This is also a means of diplomacy. In other words, this diplomacy is actually an unscrupulous way under the gentleman's demeanor!

Ouyang Chengxu was a little hesitant. Is it a bit too embarrassing for Yu'er to face such a day? You know that she only knows some words, but she doesn't know these foreign characters at all. So Ouyang Chengxu said: "Sir, but Yu'er doesn't say these foreigners' words?"

Jiang Lang shook his head and smiled and said, "This is not a problem. You can't say it. There may be some problems. When you first chose you because you can say it, and Yu'er can't say it, there is no problem. Just give her a translator. This will generally forgive women for not saying what they say. After all, they still need a little so-called gentlemanly demeanor!"

At this time, there is no international language, so this woman can't say that natural and very normal things. Besides, women in those countries can't speak Chinese, or Chinese, and everyone is just about each other!

Ouyang Chengxu nodded and said, "Okay, sir, I'm thinking about it, right?"

"It's better to hurry!"

Jiang Lang said, "I can plead for you from the emperor, and this is also a way to convince the emperor, so you have to think clearly, but I think Miss Yu'er has no problem. You may have been a little over-thinking. Of course, it is very necessary to think clearly!"

Ouyang Chengxu quickly agreed, hurriedly returned to his yamen, and wrote a memorial. As long as Jiang Lang agreed, the matter seemed not so complicated. The most important thing now is to hope that the emperor could agree, but there is not no hope at all. On the one hand, Lord Wang plans to help him be a lobbyist, and on the other hand, his marriage was given by the emperor himself, so it should be easier to say this!
