Great Song Super Scholar

Chapter 499
Ouyang Xiu hadn't seen his eldest daughter for almost three years, and even the eldest son had great opinions on him because of the matter of the eldest daughter, and it was rare for him to go home once a year. Ouyang Xiu felt extremely remorseful, but he never admitted, Students are not allowed to talk about the eldest daughter Ouyang Qian or Fan Ning, otherwise he will be furious.

On the contrary, after his wife Xue got a sum of money from Fan Ning, the family became much richer. In the past two years, she did not bother her husband. Ouyang Xiu usually went to the history museum to train some students, and his life was very peaceful, and his eyesight gradually improved. After recovering, I can barely see the words when I put them close to my eyes.

But in the past two days, Ouyang Xiu's heart was a little confused. The emperor summoned him yesterday, asked him a lot about his situation, praised him for having a good son-in-law, and hinted that he was going to be promoted to a direct bachelor of Longtu Pavilion. This undoubtedly caused a huge stir in Ouyang Xiu's heart. waves.

Ouyang Xiu is currently a fourth-rank Zhengfeng doctor. Because of bad eyesight, he has been compiling classics in the history museum. This fourth-rank title has troubled him for nearly ten years, and he has been unable to break through. Just when he had given up hope, the emperor suddenly He also hinted that he would be promoted to a third-rank Longtuge direct bachelor, which made him overjoyed.

But what made Ouyang Xiu sleepless last night was not that he was promoted, but that the emperor spent most of the time talking about Fan Ning with him, which made Ouyang Xiu feel very uncomfortable.

Although Ouyang Xiu forbids others to mention Fan Ning in front of him, it doesn't mean he doesn't understand Fan Ning's situation. Fan Ning Ding You returned to his hometown and returned to serve as the magistrate of Yingtian and Jingdong Road appeasement envoy, and then fought with Zhang Yaozuo, Zhao Zhongzhen took the position , he was appointed as Zhan Shi of the Eastern Palace. He was only 25 years old, and he was already a second-rank county magistrate.

In fact, Ouyang Xiu is very satisfied with Fan Ning, his son-in-law. He is excellent in all aspects. Although he cannot inherit his literary talents, he is unmatched in his official career. It is a pity that his daughter did not marry him, which made Ouyang Xiu feel full of regret. Also full of hatred.

But when the emperor told himself that Taichang Temple was going to seal his daughter as a third-class gentleman, Ouyang Xiu immediately understood that it was the emperor trying to persuade him to make peace.

For a moment, Ouyang Xiu was in a state of confusion.

This morning, Ouyang Xiu finally made up his mind to make peace with his eldest daughter. Fan Ning could see him temporarily, but he wanted to see his daughter and his granddaughter whom he had never met.

In the room, Ouyang Xiu wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with a hemp towel, he was still immersed in the joy and sadness of reuniting with his daughter,
He and his daughter hadn't met for long, but when her daughter knelt down and called him daddy, Ouyang Xiu burst into tears. The dissatisfaction and resentment of several years disappeared at that moment. Ouyang Xiu liked the lively and cute granddaughter very much. My own poems and manuscripts were given to my granddaughter as a meeting gift.

At this time, the sound of his wife's footsteps came from outside, and Ouyang Xiu quickly wiped away his tears. He was very guarded against his wife, Xue, and didn't want her to grasp his weakness.

Last year, Ouyang Xiu secretly gave his eldest son a rent subsidy, but Xue found out that he even had a big fight with him in front of many students, which made Ouyang Xiu completely cold-hearted towards her. If she hadn't been the mother of his four children, he would have divorced her.

"Master, they are leaving!"

Xue came in with a smile all over her face. Her attitude towards Ouyang Qian was not as cold and hostile as before. On the contrary, she flattered Ouyang Qian's daughter Fan Zhener like a fairy, just like the old Nothing happened.

Ouyang Xiu understood what she wanted, picked up the three thousand coins on the table and handed them to her, "Take it! Aqian gave it to me, you can use it to subsidize the family."

Mrs. Xue quickly took the money, and said with a smile: "That Mrs. Zhu is very generous! The first time I came to the door, I gave a thousand guan as a meeting gift, especially she and Aqian are as close as sisters. I have seen a lot, not many A woman who understands things like her, Aqian is really lucky to meet her."

Seeing her husband's expressionless face, she probed again: "Mrs. Zhu hopes that Uncle Fan can come to meet the master. When does the master think it is suitable?"

Ouyang Xiu knew his wife too well, she was so enthusiastic about Fan Ning's visit, it was nothing but Fan Ning's profit, Ouyang Xiu said lightly: "Now is not the time, let's talk about it later!"

Mrs. Xue was still a little unwilling, and said: "I heard from Mrs. Zhu that Mr. Fan is going to buy a manor outside the city for his daughter. Master, that's true."

Before she could finish speaking, Ouyang Xiu interrupted her coldly, "The child's surname is Fan, not Ouyang, don't think about it."

"But that's a manor! Where will we move after the master retires?"

Ouyang Xiu glanced at her, and said calmly: "This house is no longer an official house, the official family has given me to me."

Xue's eyes widened, "You didn't lie to me, did you! When did this happen?"

"Yesterday morning, when the officials summoned me, they officially gave it to me. In two days, someone will send the house deed and land deed."

Xue yelled excitedly, and hugged her husband, "I mean it! We finally got lucky, you got promoted, you got a house, and your daughter came back, thank you for having a good son-in-law!"

Ouyang Xiu pushed her away, although what she said was correct, it was because of Fan Ning that his fortunes turned around, but when the words came out of his wife's mouth, the tone was completely changed, which made him deeply disgusted.

He said calmly: "I know Dalang can't get this house. With you here, it must be inherited by Erlang, but I have something to say first. My ancestral house in my hometown is for Dalang. In addition, I give Da Lang a housing subsidy of ten guan dollars every month, you have no objection!"

Of course, Mrs. Xue has no objection. This five-acre inner city house is worth at least 1000 yuan. How much subsidy can there be? It was worthless at all, and she never cared about it.

She said repeatedly: "Yes! Yes! It's completely up to you."

"You go! Let me be quiet for a while."

Xue Shi was extremely excited, she wanted to find the housekeeper to show off this matter, so she turned around and left.

Hearing the sound of her footsteps going away, Ouyang Xiu took out an envelope from the drawer, which contained a house deed and a land deed, which was also given to him by his daughter, in a three-acre small house in the East Outer City.

This small house was the yard that Fan Ning bought for Ouyang Qian at the beginning. Later, Fan Tiege bought two pieces of land in the yard and expanded it into a small house of three acres. It was Ouyang Qian's private property. Ouyang Hua, the older brother who rented the house, but Ouyang Hua refused to take it, so Ouyang Qian planned to transfer it to her elder brother through her father.

Of course Ouyang Xiu would not let his wife know about this small house, this house can only be given to the second son, what about the eldest son?Now he is just a low-level official, and with his salary, he can't afford a house in the capital. Ouyang Xiu didn't want to wrong his eldest son, so it happened that his daughter gave him this small house, so that he could finally appease the eldest son.

It's still a caring daughter!
Ouyang Xiu has never felt so caring and filial to his daughter as now.

At night, when the clouds and rain in the Red Luan's tent had just rested, Ouyang Qian lay in her husband's arms and whispered: "Husband, I am really happy today, I have never been so happy like today."

The knot in Ouyang Qian's heart was finally untied, and she reconciled with her father, which made her extremely happy, which meant that her father finally accepted the fact that she married Fan Ning.

Fan Ning was amused. Today, he is the peacemaker himself. How could Ouyang Xiu not give him this face?
"Then when will I come to visit my father-in-law?"

"Wait a little longer!"

Ouyang Qian said apologetically: "Give Dad some time, I want to pay New Year's greetings to Dad during the Chinese New Year, it will be natural."

"Of course I have no objection. I'm afraid that your stepmother will be impatient and force your father to see me."

Ouyang Qian snorted disdainfully and said: "She wishes for you to come to the door tomorrow, because you will definitely come to the door empty-handed, but I don't like her, and I will tell my father in a few days that we will be a family during the Chinese New Year. Go to pay New Year's greetings to his old man."

When it came to not being empty-handed, Fan Ning remembered something, and said with a smile: "Why did your father give the manuscript to Zhen'er, isn't it afraid that she will tear it up?"

Ouyang Qian glanced at her husband coquettishly, "Where is it for Zhen'er, it is clearly for you, don't you understand?"

Fan Ning put his arms around his wife and said with a smile: "Since my father-in-law is caring, we juniors have to be reasonable. When I have time in two days, I will find a big bookstore to print it out, and it will be called "The Collection of Poems of Drunkards." ", I believe it will be popular all over the world."
