People who can do big things generally have some characteristics, such as being calm whenever big things happen, such as being stern, and being decisive.

Wang Anshi was able to become the protagonist of an era, so he naturally did not lack such characteristics.

That night, Ouyang Xiu brought Ouyang Bian good news - of course what Ouyang Xiu thought was good.

Wang Anshi expressed his willingness to accept Ouyang Bian as his disciple.

Ouyang Xiu hypocritically consulted Ouyang Bian's opinion: "Little monk, you should be very willing, right?"

willing?

It's impossible to be willing!

Ouyang Bian was about to refuse, but Ouyang Xiu was already happy: "Oh, it must be fun, right?

Let me tell you that although Jie Fu looks unkempt, his talent is really amazing. I don’t dare to say that my talent is better than him.

The character is even more noble. I feel relieved that you can not only learn knowledge, but also learn a lot of principles of being a human being."

You have to say everything, what else can I say?

Ouyang Bian knew in his heart that in front of his parents who wanted their son to become successful, nothing he said was useless.

He said before that he didn't like to study, but Ouyang Xiu agreed to it because he was young and had no famous teachers for a while, so he won't mention it for the time being.

But when will you spend less time reading, writing and practicing writing that lays a solid foundation every day?

This time, Wang Anshi, who Ouyang Xiu admired very much, took the initiative to accept him as his disciple. Ouyang Xiu naturally had no words. Ouyang Bian could even imagine the conversation between Wang Anshi and Ouyang Xiu.

"Uncle Yong, I want to accept the little monk as my disciple."

"Ah, this is so good. I think the monk must be happy."

"He seems reluctant."

"Ha, this is a matter of no reason. I will let him be your disciple even if I tie him up."

"I might be sent out."

"It's okay, if you take him by your side, beat him and scold him, I will pretend that he has no son. He also needs to see more and more rivers and mountains."

"But he really doesn't look happy?"

"Don't worry about this, I will make him come to you to study happily."

"Will your sister-in-law be unwilling?"

"The wife doesn't need to worry too much about her opinions, I will make the decision of this family."

...

Ouyang Bian looked at Mrs. Xue pitifully. Mrs. Xue just took care of her precious flowers and plants, and turned a blind eye to Ouyang Bian's request for help.

So love will transfer, right?

Ouyang Biansheng went back to the house with no desire. He had to follow Ouyang Xiu to Wang Anshi's house to become a disciple early tomorrow morning. There was a simple apprenticeship ceremony, and then some tuition was given.

Seeing the youngest man returning to the house depressedly, Mrs. Xue felt a little worried: "Husband, will the little monk still be younger?

If his uncle wants to be sent out then, wouldn’t our youngest son have to go out to suffer again? He hasn’t been able to come to Bianjing for a few days.”

Ouyang Xiu snorted: "I wish I could drive him out and suffer well. Look at how he was doing a mess after coming to Bianjing.

Not to mention the smell of money, I lie in the yard like a useless man every day, without any vitality of a young man, just like an old man.

A few days ago, I dared to go shopping in brothels. Tsk, if he wasn't young, I would have to break his legs!"

Mrs. Xue was about to fall in tears, but when she heard this, she was angry: "Oh Ouyang Xiu, don't discuss your affairs with me, and I don't care about your appointment as a disciple without authorization, but my son's business is not for this family.

Even your salary is not enough for you to make it yourself. If I hadn’t been shameless and asked my brother for some money and food every month, it would be unknown whether these children could grow up!

The little monk felt sorry for his mother. He went to earn money to support his family at a young age. Only after buying such a big yard can our family have enough place to settle down.

I also bought a lot of things I like for my brothers, planted so many flowers and plants for my mother, and bought so many pens, ink, paper and inkstones for you, the wolf-hearted one. Those are extremely precious.

My son told me in private that the pens, ink, paper and inkstones I bought for you, and the collection of books you stolen were not much different from the value of this yard. My son had to ask you to arrange it for this home like this!"

Mrs. Xue wiped her tears: "Young man is so hard-earned. She meets such a father."

Ouyang Xiu was a little embarrassed. He complained about this matter a little unreasonable. The man's verbal controversy came again: "I know, but he wasted all day long, wasting great time, and even went to brothels to mess around. What's wrong with not having a good education?"

Mrs. Xue said angrily: "Can you make so much money? Can you do it every day without doing anything?

There was a time when he wrote and painted all day long, but I didn’t know how hard it was, so I felt so distressed to see it.

During that time, I ran out every day and lost weight when I was tanned and lost weight. My poor young man.

You don’t know that I am born to not move. He runs out every day, definitely to arrange business matters. I don’t know how much hardship I have suffered, otherwise you think the money is blowing from the strong wind!

Moreover, you have the nerve to talk about brothels. If you weren’t the old man who criticized the upper beams for being wrong and the lower beams, your own style would be bad, and you would have the nerve to say goodbye to me!"

When he talked about this, Ouyang Xiu started to have a headache. He was a little ridiculous when he was young, but he has also cherished his feathers over the years. Although social events are inevitable, he has also begun to cultivate one's own character.

Although my wife didn't say anything, it was the norm in society after all, if she quarreled, she would take it out and chat, which was quite annoying.

"Okay, okay, don't say it anymore. Anyway, monks and Jiefu's learning is not a bad thing!"

Ouyang Xiu spoke louder, but he regretted it as soon as he finished speaking.

"You yell at me!" Mrs. Xue said angrily.

Ouyang Xiu wailed in his heart - the hornet's nest was pierced!

...

Ouyang Bian returned to his room listlessly and would become a disciple tomorrow. After becoming a disciple, his learning intensity will definitely increase. You don’t need to think too much about this.

But that's fine, I'm afraid that Wang Anshi will be sent to another place, so I will definitely have to follow him at that time... No, I can't sit still and wait for death!

Ouyang Bian has read many books, but he doesn't remember exactly what official Wang Anshi was at this time. Most of the things he remembered were in the Xining period, because that was the most important period of reform in Wang Anshi's life.

"What official position was he awarded during this period?"

Ouyang Bian thought hard for a long time but couldn't figure it out.

But he soon had an idea, and the matter still had to fall on his father.

You want me to become a disciple, then you can help my teacher find a position in the capital. Haven’t you ever held an official position in the Quanshu Department?

Eh?

You won't even have such connections, right?

You won't fail like this, are you?

Well, as long as Ouyang Xiu is willing to take action, it should not be difficult to find a position, and Ouyang Xiu should also be willing to do this. After all, he admires Wang Anshi!
