What is the true face of the ever-changing Ouyang Xu in Hua Meng Lu?

In "Hua Meng Lu", I have to say that a person who makes Bian Xiao hesitate and can't understand his character is Ouyang Xu. After winning the list, he was highly observed by his daughter and they were engaged. Silly Zhao is still waiting for the other party to marry him. Even when Uncle De, the housekeeper, came to tell him to break off the engagement, he still thought that Ouyang Xu was forced. So I went to great lengths to find Ouyang Xu and wanted to hear his reply face to face. After the two met, Ouyang Xu even mistakenly thought that Ouyang Xu was really hiding something, fearing that it would hurt Zhao. However, with the development of the plot, it is gradually discovered that this seemingly ever-changing Ouyang Xu is actually a hypocrite who has no responsibility, is good at shirking responsibility and only loves himself.

Of course, I also admit that Ouyang Xu really loved Zhao! It was at the bottom of his life, and Zhao was like a beam of light. With her encouragement and help, Ouyang Xu can take the exam again. So during their time together, Ouyang Xu really gave her true feelings. On the other hand, if he hadn't failed in Jiangnan at that time, Zhao's background would definitely be out of Ouyang Xu's consideration.

Even after marrying Gao's family, both sides agreed and told Zhao that he was afraid of Gao's power, so he was forced to marry him. However, in the face of Gao Hui, he also said that he had always led an honest and clean life and had never been engaged to any woman. He only loved Hui Gao wholeheartedly and even made Hui Gao a vicious woman. He regards Hui Gao as a stepping stone to success, while pretending to be innocent and unwilling to betray his beliefs. In the final analysis, this shirking responsibility is because there is no responsibility. He promised to help Song get rid of his base after he entered the official career, but when he could, he was afraid of affecting his reputation and shirked it.

Whether for Zhao or for Zhao, maybe Ouyang Xu has touched the truth, but in his heart, what he really wants is to be promoted to a higher position and make a fortune, and he only loves himself. It's a pity that his true colors have never been exposed.
