Chapter 2 Reading is Impossible to Read

The adults were chatting, and Ouyang Bian had already started to deceive his cousins.

"Is the Monkey King's Tyrant just now making a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace nice?"

"So good!"

"Do you still want to continue listening?"

"think!"

The little lolittle were all looking at Ouyang Bian with wide eyes. Ouyang Bian identified the little lolittle one by one. One of these little cousins ​​might be his wife in the future.

This year's representative brother and cousin are the most perfect match!

The cousins ​​basically inherited the beauty of the Xue family's daughters. Ouyang Bian nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, but if you want to listen to the story, you must give it a reward. Seeing that there are no pastries inside, everyone goes to get me a piece and I will finish the story."

A chubby little boy was a little scared: "I'm afraid that my mother would hit me. My mother said she was entertaining guests and she had to wait until the guests left before eating, otherwise she would have to spank."

"Then do you want to listen to the story?"

"I want!"

"Afraid of being spanked or listening to the story?"

"Listen to the story!"

Ouyang Xiu was demoted for many years, and his sons were basically born on the road to exile, so these relatives were the first time they met, and Ouyang Xiu introduced them to Wang Gongshou and others without getting tired of it.

"This is the eldest son Ouyang Fa, the second son Ouyang Yi, and the third son Ouyang Fen..."

The words of children outside came in.

"And that scoundrel...he is my youngest son Ouyang Bian."

Ouyang Xiu introduced it one by one, and when he introduced his youngest son, he was a little angry and funny. As soon as this scoundrel came to his uncle's house, he took a look at the pastry for entertaining guests.

Ouyang Bian happily enjoyed the pastry presented by the little loli, Xiao Zhengtai, while telling the story of the Monkey King's big fuss in the Heavenly Palace, which made Xiao Zhengtai and the little loli fascinated.

But after a while, Ouyang Xiu called him in. Ouyang Bian walked in and greeted him one by one.

"Hello uncle!"

Xue Zhongru nodded with his beard. Xue Zhongru inherited the appearance of the Xue family. He was nearly forty years old and was still a handsome uncle.

"Hello uncle."

Zhang Qi is a wealthy businessman, smiling like a Maitreya Buddha. Ouyang Bian looked at Zhang Qi, who was like Maitreya Buddha, with expectations in his eyes. I wonder if Uncle Zhang's family has a daughter, and if there is any, he will be his father-in-law in the future.

As for whether my cousin looks like Zhang Qi, it doesn’t matter. She is just cute if she is chubby and she finds that her spiritual beauty is good at.

"Hello uncle-in-law."

Wang Gongshou has a pretty appearance and an extraordinary temperament.

After asking, Ouyang Bian stood consciously next to his brothers.

When the elders sit together, they naturally have to examine the children's homework.

Ouyang Fa is Ouyang Xiu's eldest son and is the one who has been asked the most questions.

Although Ouyang Fa did not like imperial examinations, he laid a good foundation under the coaching of Ouyang Xiu, a great writer. He could basically answer Wang Gongchen's questions.

In fact, I won’t ask too much about things. The main thing is what books I have read recently, what I have thoughts, and memorize a certain article and listen to it.

The second son Ouyang Yi doesn't look very smart, but he is willing to work hard. Although the response is not very smooth, it is considered to be a passing test.

As for the seven-year-old Ouyang Fen's performance, he was eye-catching. Ouyang Fen spoke cleverly, answered questions fluently, and had some divergent thinking.

Wang Gongshou and others admired him very much.

Wang Gongshou looked at Ouyang Bian. This kid looks different from his three brothers. He has beautiful eyebrows and big eyes, and he looks like a little clever ghost.

"Little monk, what book are you reading recently?" Wang Gongshou asked with a smile.

Ouyang Bian shook his head vigorously: "If you don't read or not, your head will hurt when you read the book."

Ouyang Xiu was amused and crying: "This lazy boy pretends to be stupid every time he asks him to study. He wants to be respectful, sometimes he is hungry, and sometimes he is dizzy."

Wang Gongshou smiled and said, "I'm still young."

Ouyang Xiu snorted, "Mr. Yan was already a prodigy when he was five years old. You Jun Qian also became famous at a young age, and you are not young at the age of five."

Ouyang Bian winked and made a face: "Dad and brother are so powerful, and there is no need for me. I will just be filial to my parents. In the future, brothers will go out to be officials, and I will follow my parents to be filial to you!"

Everyone laughed.

Ouyang Xiu was amused and crying, pointing at Ouyang Bian and scolding, "Look, look, you see, you are not old, just want to be a borer."

Wang Gongshou smiled and said, "He is also a filial boy."

Although Ouyang Xiu scolded him on the surface, he really hurts such a child.

Although the families have not seen each other for many years, they are still quite warm and affectionate.

Ouyang Xiu originally thought that he would take a few days from Xue Zhongru to find a house and move out. Unexpectedly, he was summoned to the palace as soon as he came back. After seeing the official family, he was entrusted with important tasks and was so busy that he didn't even have time to find a house. Ouyang's family could only live in the Xue Mansion temporarily.

Ouyang Xiu was appointed by the official family as the ruling Liu Neiquan. Liu Neiquan is a subordinate agency of the Ministry of Personnel, responsible for the inspection, selection, transfer of prefectures and county officials and other related matters.

Since Ouyang Xiu had received the order, he put down many thoughts in his heart and devoted himself to his work.

The four brothers Ouyang Fa are temporarily studying in the Xue family school. The Xue family is a big family and attaches great importance to education. The Xue family school is also a very good private school. Ouyang Xiu was quite relieved to study the four sons in the Xue family school.

Ouyang Fa, Ouyang Yi, and Ouyang Fen go to school on time every day, and only Ouyang Bian sleeps until the sun is over three o'clock every day before getting up.

Xue loved her youngest son and couldn't bear to scold him. Ouyang Xiu was busy with work and didn't know about it. Ouyang Bian was able to wander around every day.

Humph, it is impossible to go to school. I studied for more than ten years in my previous life, and even had to work hard to buy a house. I have an old father in this life, and I can still live a happy life without studying!

Ouyang Bian likes to find his uncle Zhang Qi the most. Zhang Qi's wealthy family runs a restaurant here in Bianjing. As Ouyang Bian strolls, he goes to Zhang Qi's restaurant and eats and drinks when he goes.

Of course, eating and drinking are secondary. The main reason is that relatives should keep in touch with each other. It is definitely not because of their greed. Ouyang Bian comforted himself so much.

It was noon and the weather was stuffy. Ouyang Bian woke up by the heat and had to get up. He muttered: "The summer without air conditioning is incomplete."

"What is Silang talking about?" said a crisp voice.

The person who spoke was the maid Bizhu. Bizhu was the maid of the Xue family. Ouyang Xiu's family came from afar, and the original maids were all dispersed in the local area. Xue Zhongru assigned several maids to the Ouyang family, and Bizhu was one of them.

Because Ouyang Bian was still young, Bizhu was specially assigned to take care of him, and the other brothers were not treated like this when they were a little older.

Bizhu came over to help Ouyang Bian wipe his face and dress, and said, "Will Silang go to his uncle's side today?"

Ouyang Bian said: "Well, although the restaurant dishes in my uncle's restaurant are not very delicious, they are much better than those in my uncle's house, and there is also a little song."

Bizhu smiled and said, "Although my uncle's restaurant is not the best restaurant in Kaifeng, it is recognized that the taste is good. Silang's mouth is too picky."

Ouyang Bian stretched out his arms and let Bizhu wear clothes, and said lazily: "Eat it either steam or cook it, it's not delicious at all, and there is not even a stir-fry."

Bizhu helped Ouyang Bian pull the corners of his clothes and smooth it out: "Frying dishes is the unique skill of Baxianlou. There are only ones in Kaifeng, and only ones in 72 main stores. It is normal that you didn't eat them in Zhangjia Restaurant."

Ouyang Bian was stunned: "Is cooking a unique skill?"

Bizhu licked her lips and said, "Yes, this stir-fry has only appeared in recent years. I heard that as soon as the stir-fry came out, Baxianlou pushed the first of seventy-two main stores. I don't know how the stir-fry was made. It is said that the stir-fryed dishes are full of aromas and are not comparable to steamed dishes."

Ouyang Bian was a little confused. Isn’t cooking just stir-frying with oil in the pan? What’s the difficulty?

However, he immediately realized that the cooking tool of pot was only available in the Song Dynasty, and it was necessary to use a pot to cook. It was normal to cook without a pot before it was not cooked.

Ouyang Bian touched his chin, his eyes rolling around.

In this way, if cooking is a unique skill, then Uncle Zhang would be very interested.

The method of cooking to Uncle Zhang can not only repay the favor of eating and drinking for these days, but may also earn some money and buy a house for my family. Although my uncle's place is good, he is still living under someone else's roof.

Ouyang Bian felt very wronged and felt that he had taken on the burden that he shouldn't have at this age. He originally wanted to rely on his parents, but he didn't expect that he would end up with everything alone.

There is no way, who makes me love playing so much?

Ouyang Xiu is a playful person. In his later years, he called himself a lay Buddhist at June 1st. What is June 1st?

There are ten thousand volumes of books, one thousand volumes of gold and stone, one piano, one game of chess, one pot of wine, and one white-haired old man. This is the lay Buddhist of June 1st.

Which of these things doesn't cost money?

The Song Dynasty raised good money with high salaries, but it could not withstand such a thing.
