Chapter 389 Bloodline
"You boy."
Xi Yangyu squinted his eyes, and the sand and dust under his feet slowly floated up, "Is this how you talk to the teacher?"
"Respecting teachers and respecting morality is the traditional virtue of Yu State, and it is also the rule of the Academy."
Li Ang said frankly: "That's why I have to protect my students, isn't it?"
The two looked at each other indifferently,
The boy on the side hurriedly lowered his head, and quietly backed away. Siye, Xuegong. Hearing these two words, if you haven't guessed the identities of these people, you don't have to hang out in the wine shop where you need to watch their words.
"This matter has nothing to do with you,"
Xi Yangyu's expression was as cold as ice. If his gaze had any strength, Li Ang would probably be riddled with holes.
"My students' business is naturally my business."
Li Ang refused to budge. Don't look at Xi Yangyu who always looks like an immortal and a worldly expert, among the four officials in the Academy, he is the most worldly one.
He went in and out of dignitaries' mansions, served as a doorman, received money, participated in various banquets, enjoyed fine wine and food, and had many wives and concubines at home.
With Xi Yangyu's character, no matter how much he hates Li Ang, he won't take the risk of losing everything and really do it.
"You are as annoying as Master Ni. Don't think that I can't deal with you if you are in the limelight"
Before Xi Yangyu could finish his sentence, the communication copper plate on his waist began to vibrate, making a crisp sound of "ringing, ringing, ringing".
I need to find him.
Xi Yangyu glanced at the copper sheet, snorted coldly, and said "this matter is not over", then strode out of the backyard, boarded the carriage, and left the wine shop.
"Ah oh,"
Qiu Feng whispered: "Will there be any trouble?"
"Won't."
Li Ang's tone was firm, his teacher Pu Liuxuan returned to the Academy to teach in a fair manner, and Xi Yangyu had nothing to do.
Squeak—
The door opened, and a girl with blue eyes poked out from it, and said in surprise: "Dr. Li, Dr. Qiu? Why are you here?"
"I see you are here."
Qiu Feng waved his hands and said, "Shall we go in and talk?"
"Oh, please come in please come in."
Ouyang Shi hurriedly opened the door, "The house hasn't been cleaned very much recently, it might be a little messy. Do you two want something to drink?"
"Warm water is fine."
Li Ang said casually, followed Ouyang Shi into the house.
The interior furnishings are monotonous and simple, and there are some books on the shelves.
Some of them are medical teaching supplementary books compiled by Li Ang, and the rest are books with the borrowing logo of Chang'an Library Pavilion - the price of Yuguo books is not particularly low, even a well-off family can't buy books freely, and more books are borrowed , Rent books.
In addition to Ouyang Shi, there was also her mother in the room—judging from the shape of her face, she must have had a beautiful face when she was young.
Ouyang Shi's mother was weak and not good at words, but Ouyang Shi was able to act. She quickly cleaned up the table and put out fruit plates, pastries, and tea.
"so,"
Li Ang took a sip of tea and asked, "What business does Xi Yangyu want from you?"
“.”
Ouyang Shi and his mother looked at each other, hesitantly said: "He is... my father."
Qiu Feng almost spit out the tea leaves, his eyes widened.
Ouyang Shi smiled bitterly when he saw this, and explained the matter in detail.
Ouyang Shi's mother was originally a maid in Xi Yangyu's house. Fifteen years ago, Xi Yangyu and Xi Yangyu slept together after drinking.
It was nothing at first, but Xi Yangyu’s wife’s family came to visit that day,
The housewife of the Xi family felt ashamed, so she kicked the maid out of the house.
Ouyang Shi's mother had no one to rely on in Chang'an, so she had to go to a wine shop to accompany Orchid. After a while, she found out that she was pregnant, so she went to Xi's mansion to explain the situation.
The housewife of the Xi family cursed some ugly words. God knows who the child in Hu Ji’s belly would be. According to the rules of Chang’an nobles, after paying a sum of money, the housekeeper asked the housekeeper to drive Ouyang Shi’s mother out of the house. Come to Xi Mansion to harass again.
If a child is born, the surname Xi is not allowed.
It wasn’t until some time ago that Xi Yangyu looked through his account books when he had nothing to do, and accidentally saw the whereabouts of the money, and repeatedly questioned and scolded him, only then did he know that he might still have a child missing.
Although Xi Yangyu has many wives and concubines, he only has two sons, and he really wants a daughter.
He found this restaurant, explained his purpose, and wanted Ouyang Shi and her mother to return to Xi's Mansion.
Ouyang Shi's mother has no opinions, but Ouyang Shi, who has been admitted to the imperial medical office and has improved his life, does not want to go back to the home where he has no sense of belonging.
It was also because of this that I asked for leave from the Imperial Medical Office two days ago.
"It really is"
Li Ang smacked his lips, holding back the word "bizarre".
Qiu Feng thought for a while, and asked Ouyang Shi: "No intention to offend, but how did Xi Yangyu know that you are his daughter?"
"Fate."
Ouyang Shi said: "He said that he is good at divination and can see people's fate, so he is sure that I am his biological daughter. He also said that I have inherited his spiritual talent, and I can try to take the exam next year."
"This should be true."
Li Ang said: "Xi Yangyu often helps the children of high-ranking officials and dignitaries to look at spiritual veins and divination, so as to make money."
Xi Yangyu has many wives and concubines, and there are maids of all races in the house, and there are even maids who were born as Kunlun slaves.
Without this ability, his hat would have gone to the sky long ago. After so many years, there will not be only two heirs.
"What do you think yourself?"
Qiu Feng asked: "After all, Xi Yangyu is a school official, with a high position and authority, and has many friends. If he is not afraid of his family's ugliness being publicized, he finds Jing Zhaoyin, sends messengers to the door, and forces your mother and daughter to go home. I'm afraid there is really nothing you can do. "
"I don't want to go back."
Ouyang Shi twitched the corner of his mouth, "Half a year ago, my mother was seriously ill. I went to Xi's mansion to ask for medicine, but the housewife of Xi's house asked a servant to beat me out of the door with a broom.
If I hadn't been admitted to the imperial medical office and received support from my classmates, my mother would have died long ago. What's the point of going back to such a home? "
Ouyang's tone was full of resentment, and his fists were clenched tightly, creaking.
Li Ang asked suddenly: "Are you and your mother still slaves?"
"Not any more."
Ouyang Shi was stunned for a moment, and replied: "When the wife of the Xi family drove my mother out of the house, she unilaterally tore up the slave registration."
"It's easy to handle if you're not a slave. When it comes to the county government, the statement of fate alone can't prove the parent-child relationship."
Li Ang put down his teacup, snapped his fingers, and said, "I can't prove parentage, you and him are strangers, he has no right to let you and your mother go back."
Qiu Feng hesitated and said: "But Xi Yangyu is a school secretary after all, and knows countless high-ranking officials and dignitaries."
"It's enough to get into the academy."
Li Ang looked at Ouyang Shi and said with a smile: "Since he said that you inherited his spiritual talent, it should be no problem for you to come to the examination palace.
Entered into the academy, with the protection of student status, even if he makes a fuss with the head of the mountain, he can't do anything to you. "
