After Ouyang Bian left, Wang Anshi was indeed extremely surprised.

Shortly after he returned to Beijing, he heard that Ouyang Xiu's family had a child prodigy.

He has read the article "Shuitu Songtou - Gift to Lu Caiwei", which is indeed the best work in Mid-Autumn Festival poems.

Some people say that after the water tune song, no one can write Mid-Autumn Festival lyrics anymore. He recognizes this. He is not very good at writing poetry, but he is good at appreciating.

It is indeed shocking that a five-year-old child can write such a work.

Before this, he was still wondering whether this word was written by Ouyang Xiu, but when he met Ouyang Bian today, he felt that only with Ouyang Bian's temperament could he write such a fairy-filled Mid-Autumn Festival poem.

The intelligence shown by Ouyang Bian is secondly, the key is that the demeanor he showed makes him feel surprised.

A five-year-old child who moves freely and with evidence in front of his parents is extremely rare.

Ouyang Bian gave him the feeling of being grand.

As for what Ouyang Xiu said, he was a little dissatisfied with the statement that he had heard of the Ouyang family's licentious son.

It is natural for children to love to play, and the Ouyang family likes to play. This is the impression that Ouyang Xiu left, but in fact there is nothing easy to argue about.

That's your problem, not his problem.

Wang Anshi secretly complained.

"Brother Yong, what book is the monk reading recently?" Wang Anshi seemed very interested in Ouyang Bian and asked on his own initiative.

Ouyang Xiu shook his head and smiled, "This kid is very naughty, but he is smart. He will finish learning the literacy booklets such as the Three Character Classic, the Hundred Family Names, and the Thousand Character Classics soon;

He read the enlightenment of historians quickly such as "Seventeen Histories Mengqiu", "About Ancient Texts" and "Abstract of Historical Studies";

He threw away the basic children's poetry books such as "Child Prodigy", "Thousand Family Poems", and "Shumeng Poems", but I don't think he has to read them;

Recently, I asked him to read the Analects of Confucius and it was completed very quickly. Now I plan to ask him to pass the Four Books and Five Classics, but I am too lazy to do something wrong all day long.

I was thinking that it was time to find a teacher for this Maohou and let the teacher discipline him well, otherwise he would go to heaven."

Wang Anshi looked at Ouyang Xiu's seemingly complaining but actually satisfied expression, which was a little funny.

It is indeed very smart for a five-year-old child to achieve this level.

He suddenly felt a little moved.

Or should I accept it as a disciple?

If you have great ideals and want to pursue them, you must have effective helpers around you. Ouyang Bian is a little smaller, but he will grow up one day.

And as a teacher, it is indeed a very happy thing to have a smart disciple.

But you still have to observe. Smartness is a good thing, but you are afraid that virtue will be detrimental.

During this time of chatting, Ouyang Bian had already changed his clothes, changed his pajamas into robe, and his hair was tied with a small ponytail. Just changing his clothes made Wang Anshi's eyes lit up.

The child in front of him was quite tall, with his head raised and his chest straight when walking, and his steps were steady, just like an adult. Although he had not yet grown, he had thick eyebrows, big eyes, and high noses, and his spirit was very vigorous at first glance.

It's a good seedling.

Wang Anshi gave Ouyang Bian a conclusion.

When Ouyang Bian came, he naturally took over the tea making work and listened to the two adults chatting while making tea.

Ouyang Bian followed Ouyang Xiu since he was a child. Ouyang Xiu did not avoid him in any way. However, Wang Anshi was a little uncomfortable, but the master didn't mind, so he could only let him go.

Ouyang Xiu is a literary style closer to the style of the literati. He doesn't talk much about the officialdom, but rather there are many topics about literary matters and Wang Anshi, especially about criticism of the current literary style.

However, Ouyang Bian could see that Wang Anshi was not particularly interested. As a later generation, he knew about this.

Wang Anshi was obsessed with doing major things that could truly affect the country. These things in the literary world were beneficial to the country, but they did not touch on the chronic diseases of the country, so he was not very concerned about it.

It was not the first day that Ouyang Xiu and Wang Anshi met.

Thanks to Zeng Gong's multiple introductions, Ouyang Xiu had already had a deeper understanding of Wang Anshi and his writings.

In the seventh year of Qingli, he asked Zeng Gong to convey his eager expectations:

Mr. Ou really wants to make a plan at first sight? He has to be in a state of mind and must be told.

Wang Anshi also said, "I don't know me if I am not a gentleman (referring to Ouyang Xiu).

They were both happy and happy, but they were both wandering around and had no chance to meet each other.

So today is actually their first meeting.

However, it is the same thing to appreciate each other, but we can’t talk about the same thing when we pursue each other.

Ouyang Xiu also vaguely felt that Wang Anshi's mind was not on this, and as he chatted, he became a little stagnant.

Seeing this, Wang Anshi stood up and said goodbye. Ouyang Xiu wanted to keep him for dinner, but Wang Anshi politely declined.

Ouyang Bian stood up and said, "Dad, I'll give you my uncle."

As he said that, he followed Wang Anshi happily.

The two walked out of the yard, and Wang Anshi's broken carriage stopped outside. Wang Anshi turned around and said goodbye to Ouyang Bian: "Monk, it's cold, come back quickly."

Ouyang Bian smiled and said, "Uncle, you are not very interested in what my father talks about today, are you?"

Wang Anshi was stunned: "Did you see it?"

Ouyang Bian nodded and said, "I can see that my uncle is not here."

Wang Anshi looked at the child who was less than his waist and said, "Then what do you think I am ambition?"

Ouyang Bian smiled and said, "Ancestors are not good enough to be lawful, and destiny is not fearful. My uncle is thinking about what Wen Zheng has done."

Wang Anshi was shocked: "Ancestors are not worthy of law, and destiny is not worthy of fear?"

Ouyang Bian nodded with a smile.

This sentence comes from "History of the Song Dynasty: Biography of Wang Anshi". The original text is not worth fearing when heaven changes, ancestors do not have laws, and people do not have compassion when words do not have concern.

It is used to summarize Wang Anshi's overall reform determination and thought during the reform. This sentence hit Wang Anshi's heart directly!

Seeing Wang Anshi's expression, Ouyang Bian knew about Wang Anshi's shock.

A storm broke out in Wang Anshi's heart. The secret he hidden in his heart was told by a child, and his thoughts formed a sentence that could express his grand vision.

How did he do it?

He is really a child?

Ouyang Bian achieved his goal and turned around leisurely to go home, leaving Wang Anshi standing there blankly.

All this Ouyang Bian showed today is to leave an impression on Wang Anshi so that he could see his extraordinaryness and that he could speak more or less from him in the future.

It’s not that I want to climb Wang Anshi, the towering tree of the future, and let him join Wang Anshi, that Ouyang Bian is actually unwilling to do so.

He really didn't want to step into that vortex, nor did he want to be exiled. It was so miserable that he was sleeping in the open during the exile.

But Ouyang Xiu, an old man, will definitely have to set fires everywhere again at that time, so he has to leave a way to help him at any time.
