Chapter 16 The happiness of Ouyang's family!
After Ouyang bid farewell to Wang Gongchen, he was quite happy and jumped lightly under the moonlight.
Bizhu followed behind and shouted: "Silo, be careful of your feet. Don't run so fast when it's dark."
The happiness of pretending to leave is very strong.
When Ouyang Bian said goodbye, he saw the complex meaning in Wang Gongchen's eyes and knew that his uncle had been so beautiful... Oh, he was fascinated by his wisdom.
Well, I can have a safe sleep tonight.
In history, Ouyang Xiu was originally safe and sound this time, and even became a blessing in disguise. Ouyang Bian took this trip just to rest assured.
Ouyang Bian didn't know if his arrival would change history. For the sake of safety, he found Wang Gongchen. With Wang Gongchen's wisdom, he knew how to operate it.
Sure enough, Ouyang Xiu, who went to Renzong to say goodbye the next day, returned home happily and told his wife and children that he didn't have to go to Tongzhou. The government asked him to participate in the Tang Book and could stay in Bianjing.
Xue was overjoyed when she heard this. Although she was used to a wandering life, it did not mean that she liked this kind of life.
She grew up in Bianjing since she was a child, and she went to another place after marrying Ouyang Xiu.
Bianjing is her hometown for her, and it is naturally great to be able to stay in her hometown.
Xue instructed the maid to restore her luggage to its original state, but was stopped by Ouyang Bian.
"Mom, we will move tomorrow." Ouyang Bian said.
Xue said in surprise: "Why are you moving? We won't go to Tongzhou."
Ouyang Bian glanced at Ouyang Xiu, then smiled at his mother and said, "Let's move to your own home."
Xue and Ouyang Xiu exchanged glances.
Ouyang Xiu said: "I got the dividend?"
Ouyang Bian smiled and said, "The ice room is expanding, and there is no way to distribute dividends for the time being.
But my uncle's dividend can be withdrawn. I asked Xu Fu to take down the yard I saw last time.
I have had someone cleaned up and renovated and can be checked in at any time.”
Ouyang Xiu was silent for a long time. Xue looked at her husband worriedly, while Ouyang Fa and his brothers looked at Ouyang Xiu in anticipation.
Ouyang Xiu looked up and saw his wife and children looking at him. He couldn't help but laugh at himself: "As husband and your father, I haven't even given you my own home for so many years. We have to rely on the little monk to have our own home. I feel ashamed."
Xue sobbed silently.
Seeing his mother crying, Ouyang Fa and his brothers were at a loss, but Ouyang Bian went up to hug his mother and patted her gently.
He turned around and said to Ouyang Xiu: "Dad, don't say that, wherever you and your parents are, our home is ours.
Although our family has wandered everywhere over the years, we have always been together, and we brothers have never lacked fatherly and motherly love.
There are not many people in the world who are happier than us, and I don’t know how much better than my father when he was a child.”
Ouyang Xiu couldn't help but smile. His father died when he was three years old when he was young. He and his mother defected to his uncle Ouyang Ye.
Although life is difficult, it is not a waste of time.
My uncle was very kind to him, and my mother loved him even more. After all, he was not lacking in fatherly love and motherly love.
Ouyang Xiu got rid of the bad luck and was in a good mood. He immediately decided: "Then I will move tomorrow, but I may not be able to help with it. I will have to go to the History Museum to report tomorrow."
Xue wiped her wet eyes and said softly: "That's all for me. My husband just needs to be busy with national affairs."
Ouyang Xiu nodded, turned around and patted Ouyang Bian on the shoulder with satisfaction.
The next morning, the Ouyang family became noisy.
The Ouyang family just came to Bianjing not long ago and lived in a rented house and didn't dare to buy things, so they didn't have many things to move, and the most of them were actually books.
Ouyang Xiu’s own book and Ouyang Bian’s four brothers, filled with two big ox carts.
When Ouyang Bian helped his father organize books, he really found a lot of good things.
Some books that were out of print in later generations can be seen casually, and Ouyang Bian couldn't help but be happy to see the hunt.
He didn't like reading in this life, but it was just an overcorrect mentality. He has been resting like this in recent years.
The seeds of reading in his heart began to revive. To be honest, he is still a book lover.
From the bottom of his heart, he was a scholar. This time he saw so many out-of-print books, and his book collection habit suddenly rekindled.
Ouyang Bian was an editor in his previous life. He was not just for life. He really liked literature, so he worked in this position for more than ten years.
He doesn't have many hobbies, so he plays ball, drinks, and buys books.
In his previous life, he was in his rental house. The small room was filled with books. If he couldn't put the bookshelf, he would put it on the ground. Every time he moved, it was a big problem.
But he enjoyed it.
The Ouyang family followed the ox cart to the newly purchased courtyard. Oh, it was the courtyard with bamboo.
The small courtyard is a three-in-one courtyard. When you enter the gate, you will be a small courtyard that accounts for two-thirds of the area. Behind it is the front house, the middle house and the back house.
As soon as Xue entered the door, she found that there was a big difference from the last time.
When I came here last time, although the house was maintained, I could still see a slightly dilapidated atmosphere, but this time I came in and felt a simple and natural feeling.
Not only are there bamboo in the yard, but plum trees and peach trees are also planted in the gaps.
Ouyang Bian smiled and said to his mother: "The bamboo is evergreen all year round, the plum trees bloom in winter snow, and the peach blossoms bloom in spring, so that we can see flowers all year round.
There are also roses and peonies in the corners, which will be very lively if they open up."
Xue looked yearning. She had a child for many years and was eager to be in the secular world, but she was the daughter of a big family after all.
Xue touched Ouyang Bian's hair that had not been tied up yet, and sighed: "It's still my monk who understands his mother."
The reason why Ouyang Bian likes this courtyard is because of its large courtyard and there are enough rooms.
Ouyang Fa and others were able to get a big room of their own.
Ouyang Fa carried his own belongings and stood at the door of his room in a daze.
Ouyang Bian looked up at his elder brother with a smile: "Do you like it, brother?"
Ouyang Fa put the thing on the table with a bang, and then threw himself in front of a row of bookshelf.
The wide bookshelf is almost connected to the roof, the key is the books on the bookshelf.
The books are very complicated, with the ancient music and the theory of Zhonglu, the lineage of the monarchs and ministers, the system and cultural relics, the side of astronomy, geography, etc., and the knowledge is very extensive.
Ouyang Bian couldn't help but smile when he looked at his obsessed elder brother.
Ouyang Fa is fond of learning, but he actually doesn't like imperial examinations very much, but he likes miscellaneous studies even more.
These can be felt while we are together day and night.
Ouyang Bian spent a lot of effort and money to collect these books.
When Ouyang Bian thought of this, he took a toothache and took a deep breath. The books in the Song Dynasty were really expensive.
This big book shelf is worth one-third of the price of this house.
Add the pen, ink, paper and inkstone that Ouyang Bian bought for his father, a complete set of Ruyao Momos that he bought for his second brother Ouyang Yi, and a lion cat for his third brother. The sum of money was enough to buy another set of yards.
The dividends for two months were exhausted, and the dividends for one month were also paid in advance.
