Prime Minister

Chapter 127
Watching Ouyang Xiu stroke his beard and laugh.

Zhang Yue also had an embarrassed expression on his face, he didn't expect it to be like this, how did it turn into a kiss meeting.

Ouyang Fa on the side also replied respectfully: "Sanlang is so handsome, and now he is also a student of the imperial court. It is not difficult to say that we should get married. I will go back and talk to the lady in a while, and see if I can tell Sanlang a good marriage."

Ouyang Xiu said with a smile: "Yes, the most important thing is whether the family is second or not, if it is a virtuous and virtuous woman."

"The child will always remember the teachings of his father."

Being praised by Ouyang Xiu and Ouyang Fa, Zhang Yue blushed with embarrassment.

In the previous life, he was issued countless "good person cards", but in this life, he has come to the end of all hardships.

The change, of course, is thanks to the light of my second brother.

How did people describe Zhang Dun's appearance?
Wei Tai once said, "The backbone is pure, and he is a man of gods and immortals", and Song history records "He is handsome and beautiful."This kind of appearance is no longer at the level of a passer-by, and full of praises have been written into the history books.

As Zhang Dun's younger brother, Zhang Yue has a somewhat similar appearance (it is not easy to satisfy the readers' sense of involvement).

No wonder even the boss Ouyang Xiu wants to match him up when he sees him!
Zhang Yue couldn't help thinking to himself, it turned out that from a blind date expert who has been defeated repeatedly to a big man like Ouyang Xiu who came out to matchmaking in person, I only lacked this face. I always blamed it on my lack of ability.

At this moment, he finally realized something.

how to say?I didn't expect to be appreciated by the boss in this way. This is a good way. No matter how you say 'face' is also part of one's own strength.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yue couldn't help but feel relieved.

In this case, let's embark on the road of blind date with peace of mind!
Thinking of this, Zhang Yue couldn't help but feel a little eager for the future.

Zhang Yue said: "Now I come to Bianjing alone. Although I met Bachelor Ouyang for the first time, the bachelor is just like my elders. He obeys the bachelor's orders. The only thing is that he is really afraid of bothering the bachelor and uncle and brother. Really. I feel ashamed."

Ouyang Xiu said with a smile: "Sanlang drink tea, otherwise the tea will be cold."

Zhang Yue picked up the teacup according to his words, and heard Ouyang Xiu caress his beard and said: "You said that you are meeting this old man for the first time, and I am afraid that you will trouble me, but what you don't know is that this old man fell in love with you at first sight. Knowing you, you still don’t know how to repair (shame)’.”

puff!
Zhang Yue took a sip of tea and almost spewed out, although he tried to hold back, a little tea still dripped on his sleeve.

Zhang Yue said heartily, Bachelor Ouyang, you definitely did this on purpose, do you see me being embarrassed?
Ouyang Xiu had already laughed loudly, Ouyang Fa also looked like he wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and forced himself to hold back.

Zhang Yue hurriedly said: "I'm being rude, I'm being rude... I usually admire Bachelor Ouyang the most, so I couldn't help fabricating this story. I didn't intend to show it. I was really angry that day, so..."

Ouyang Xiu smiled and said: "It's okay, you have a very ingenious idea. The old man read this passage and felt the same, as if he really wrote these three poems! Haha, Xiu already knows you, and you are not ashamed."

Zhang Yue's face turned red immediately, and he couldn't help cursing in his heart, who was the one who spread this matter to Ouyang Xiu's ears so much, and then he used it to make fun of himself.

But this is what I know Ouyang Xiu.

Humorous and natural, just like Ouyang Xiu who wrote "Drunkard's Pavilion".

Then Ouyang corrected his expression and said, "Okay, this is the end of the jokes. That's right, Boyi, how is Biaomin doing?"

Zhang Yue also restrained himself, and said cautiously: "The two gentlemen are usually in good health, but this time when we leave Fujian, Mr. Boyi is in poor health."

Ouyang Xiu sighed: "The old man is also afraid of hearing about the recent situation of the old man, but he has to ask."

"I heard from Fa'er that you had some adventures all the way from Fujian."

Zhang Yue said: "Thank you for your concern. I went down from Xianxialing to Quzhou to board a boat and went to Hangzhou without incident. I just encountered robbers who robbed the river in Huai River. Fortunately, Mr. Dalang, the Zhizhou of Wu, was escorted. In the end, there was no danger. .”

"Tell me in detail where you met the thief, and where you came from. How are the customs?"

Ouyang Xiu and Zhang Yue asked and answered, Ouyang Fa saw that the two had a good chat, and wanted Zhang Yue to show his talents, so he got up and left with an excuse.

After Zhang Yue finished answering, Ouyang Xiu said again: "Well, I heard that you have obtained the true biography of Boyi's seal script, so I just wrote a few strokes for the old man to read."

"I obey." Zhang Yue got up immediately.

After Zhang Yue finished writing a few seal characters, Ouyang Xiu looked at it and couldn't help saying: "Bo Yi went to Beijing to copy the stone scriptures, and the seal characters were all dissatisfied when he was called. Admire."

"There will be others to follow suit in the future, but you are the only one who has mastered it. You can inherit his mantle in the future, and Boyi can be regarded as a successor. Sanlang will write regular script again!"

Zhang Yue agreed.

After the chapter was finished, Ouyang Xiu smiled and picked up the pen to write a few words, but seeing that Ouyang Xiu's pen was very little ink, but the words flowed like flowing water.

Zhang Yue sighed in admiration: "How to go from a dry brush to a white one, I have always been puzzled, and now I have been taught."

Ouyang Xiu laughed and said: "Those who fly but not white are like Li, and those who are white but not fly are like Zhuan. I can't call it 'Feibai'. It's just a superficial thing. The real thing is today's officials. You enter the seal with the seal method. Regular script is of course good, but the use of ink is a little less 'dry and cracked by the autumn wind, moistened by the autumn rain'. Sit down!"

Zhang Yue kept Ouyang Xiu's words in his heart, and felt that Ouyang Xiu's thinking was very fast, and he only outlined a few sentences in many places, asking for an overview, as if he wanted to examine himself in all aspects.

Zhang Yue couldn't help but struggle to deal with it, and the routine he thought of to use to deal with it was temporarily useless.

After the two sat down again.

Zhang Yuedao: "Students know very little about the way of articles, but Mr. Xujiang, the name of Guan Gou Taixue, wants me to transfer from Jingsheng to Jinshi. I don't know what to do in the next moment. I will ask Bachelor Ouyang to give me advice."

Ouyang Xiu smiled and said: "Actually, it's not just this poem, Boyi's letter, I also heard your name from Mr. Hu of the Taixue. I read Han Tuizhi's essay when I was 17 years old, but I felt that its words were profound. And majestic, grand and boundless, like cuteness. Han's writing style is respected by all generations, and it is passed down by the world."

"Actually, prose is not difficult. Since you respect Han Tuizhi's scriptures, why don't you learn from his articles? As for Li Taibo, who is hard-spoken and kind-hearted, you don't have to worry about being squeezed out by him because of the rift between him and your husband."

Zhang Yue said: "I have been taught."

Ouyang Xiu nodded and said, "I'm going to change first!"

As he spoke, he left Zhang Yue indoors.

At this time, Ouyang Fa also returned to the room, and Mrs. Wu went up to change Ouyang Fa's clothes.

While tying up his clothes, Ouyang Fa said, "Daddy will leave Zhang San at home for a family banquet later. You go to the back kitchen. Zhang San is from your hometown. You can see if the dishes suit his taste."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Wu asked: "Oh? So, Dad really appreciates this chapter three?"

Ouyang laughed and said: "It's not much different. Zhang San is Mr. Boyi, Mr. Biaomin's nephew and student. Mr. Xi also supported his father back then. He can help Zhang's nephew as much as he can."

"I know that Dad is very close to the Zhang family, but it also depends on whether this person is up to the challenge. If the mud can't support the wall, is it a gang?"

Ouyang laughed and said: "Don't worry, don't talk about daddy, I can trust the officials, and it won't be too bad. Yes, just now daddy said that he wanted me to tell Zhang Sanlang about a marriage in Beijing. I said my wife Being well-informed, I must know that there are many boudoir girls in Beijing who are Jiji, and asked her to come and talk to Saburo about their marriage."

Wu said with a smile: "You are good. Are you afraid that I will be bored at home? Are you deliberately looking for something for me?"

Ouyang laughed and said: "My lady is a lady of every family, she can find a good woman for San Lang, that's why I came to you. But father said, the family rank is second, and the most important thing is to find a virtuous and virtuous woman."

Wu said: "The family background is easy to talk about, but it's hard to find a virtuous and virtuous person. Besides, you don't ask if Zhang Sanlang is engaged in his hometown?"

Ouyang laughed and said, "Of course I asked, but Saburo said no."

"To say that there is no is to say that there is no? Some people have entered the Imperial Academy or won the Jinshi, and they feel that they are different now, and it is not uncommon to divorce their wives."

Ouyang Fa said displeasedly: "How can you speculate about others for no reason?"

Wu said with a smile: "Okay, okay, the officials can count on me guessing the belly of a gentleman with a woman's heart."

Ouyang laughed and said: "I know my wife will not let me down. Now that it is popular in Beijing to catch son-in-laws, it is not difficult to find someone like Sanlang who is outstanding in appearance and learning. I think it is possible to win a Jinshi in the future." , then we won’t be able to discuss marriage with him.”

Good looking and talented, Mrs. Wu pondered these words in her heart, and then said: "What is being awarded a Jinshi? If daddy didn't have a daughter, could it be possible that he could betroth the daughter of Ouyang's family to him if he became a Jinshi?" .”

Ouyang laughed and said, "What's wrong with that? Back then when Dad was awarded a Jinshi, wouldn't Xueshi Xu marry his daughter to her? If Sanlang is awarded a Jinshi one day, our Ouyang family will marry their daughter as well."

Hearing this, Wu said with a smile: "Okay, you really want to have a brother-in-law so that's not the case! But it's not difficult for you to ask me to marry Zhang Sanlang, but you always have to let me meet first, so it's good Make up your mind."

Ouyang Fa said: "My lady is right, but I missed it for a while. That's right, Dad will let him eat in the side hall later. He and I will pass through the hanging flower door and pass through the chasing corridor, and you will wait in the next room separated by the hanging curtain." Just take a look."

Wu said: "Alright, then I'll go to the back kitchen to have a look."

Immediately, Mrs. Wu went to the back kitchen and ordered the cook to add two hometown dishes, and then went to the side room to wait.

Soon after, Mrs. Wu saw Ouyang Fa and a young gentleman walking through the Chaoshou Corridor and looking at the side hall.

Wu covered her face with a round fan, looked sideways at the young gentleman through the gap behind the curtain, and then said to herself: "He has a good appearance, no wonder no wonder..."

After Ouyang Fa and Zhang Yue passed by, Mrs. Wu stepped out of the wing room and immediately called her personal envoy: "Go to my room and bring the sweet-scented rhinoceros tea to my uncle and the guests."

"Yes, Shi Qi brought it to me from my hometown."
