The two were talking, and suddenly heard Ouyang Song coughing loudly outside the door, and the two immediately stopped talking. And Ouyang Song, who had been waiting outside the door for a long time, finally paced. He tried to come in several times outside the door, but only because the two young men were talking too speculatively and didn't want to disturb them. It was a great pity to hear that Liu Yong had so many clever opinions, and it was a great pity that he couldn't be his old Taishan!

"Father, you're back." Ouyang Lanlan hurriedly got up.

"Well, my father has something to say to Master Liu, you go out first." Ouyang Song said lightly, at this time, he calmed down, and he didn't want his daughter to fall too deep.

"Yes, father." Ouyang Lanlan replied, said a blessing to Liu Yong again, and reluctantly went out.

"Haha, my daughter, she just likes to talk about men, and she doesn't look like a girl at all. I see that this child's temperament is more like that of her grandfather. Ouyang Song laughed and sat down.

"Then Miss Ouyang's grandfather must be a master!" Liu Yong said.

"Yes, my father is indeed a master, especially in literature and historiography." Ouyang Song said.

"Oh, may I ask your Excellency by name?" Liu Yong asked.

"My father's name is Ouyang Xiu, a 61 layman, a former official to a bachelor in Hanlin, and a governor of political affairs. The height of his old man is beyond my reach. After speaking, Ouyang Song sighed.

When Liu Yong heard Ouyang Xiu's three words, he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, and wondered in his heart: Ouyang Xiu? Could it be the great poet of the Song Dynasty?

"Could it be that Ling Zun is Ouyang Xiu, who is known as the Eight Masters of the Tang and Song Dynasties?" Liu Yong couldn't help but ask.

Ouyang Song raised his eyebrows and asked, "What is the Tang and Song Dynasty Eight Families?" ”

Liu Yong patted his head, and then he thought that this Tang and Song Dynasty families were sealed by their descendants, and there is no such statement now.

"Oh, it's just a rumor in the market, saying that Ling Zunhe and Han Yu, Liu Zongyuan, Su Shi, Su Xun, Su Zhe, Wang Anshi, and Zeng Gong became the eight masters of the Tang and Song dynasties." Liu Yong explained.

"Oh? There are such rumors? Ouyang Song hadn't heard of it at all, "However, people can compare his old man with these people, and it will not disgrace his old man's knowledge." ”

Liu Yong thought to himself: It seems that it is, no wonder Ouyang Lanlan's poems are so good, the first poem she sent me was probably an excerpt from her grandfather Ouyang Xiu.

In this way, he looked at Ouyang Song's father and daughter differently. He has been in the Great Song Dynasty for a long time, and he has not even seen a historical celebrity. Today is after meeting celebrities.

"My lord, the younger generation has great admiration and reverence for Ling Zun, and I think his old man's masterpiece will definitely be remembered for centuries." Liu Yong said.

When Ouyang Song heard Liu Yong praise his father, he was naturally happy in his heart.

"Thank you, Lord Liu, it's just that the old man, as his only son, can't inherit his old man's last wish, it seems that only my son Ouyang Fenqiang can inherit his grandfather's mantle." Ouyang Song sighed.

"The younger generation has also heard of Ling Lang's deeds, it is said that he is erudite and talented, and he is a great talent on this side!" Liu Yong said.

"Well, Qiang'er does have the legacy of his grandfather, but he is now trying in Lin'an Palace, and he will not be able to come back until the end of spring next year. But it's also fast. Isn't this the New Year coming soon! When my son returns, I'll let you know him. When Ouyang Song said this, he seemed to be looking forward to the meeting of these two promising young people.

"Since it's a palace exam, isn't Ling Lang already admitted to the Jinshi?" Liu Yong still remembers the articles on the ancient imperial examination system in the history books of later generations. The palace examination was personally invigilated by the emperor, and the champion list and tanhua were finally pointed out. In fact, it is to divide all the students who are good at being admitted to the Jinshi into three, six, nine and so on.

"What Lord Liu said is right, the old man doesn't expect him to win a champion or anything, as long as he can be reused by the court, I will be at ease." Ouyang Song said.

Liu Yong knew that the imperial examination in ancient times was quite difficult, and it was not easy to show off talent in the examination, and it was even more difficult to be admitted to the Jinshi. Because Liu Yongyin remembered a statistic, only 20,000 or 30,000 jinshi were admitted in China's imperial examinations for more than 2,000 years. That's more than 2,000 years!

"Ling Lang is already very powerful if he can be admitted to the Jinshi." Liu Yong said.

Ouyang Song nodded, he also thought so.

After talking about these topics, they exchanged about the officialdom of Meizhou City this year, and when they were finally leaving, Liu Yong told Ouyang Song and said: "My lord, this year is approaching, we still have to guard against Guo Dequan and Ma Shifan's son Ma Gan!" ”

"Huh? Lord Liu is worried about it, it's been almost a year, they haven't moved at all, and I don't think they have the courage to dare to kill the court officials. Ouyang Song said.

"Be careful to make the Ten Thousand Year Ship!" Liu Yong said.

"Okay, the old man wrote it down." Ouyang Song said and personally sent Liu Yong out of the Hanging Flower Gate, but Ouyang Lanlan waited at the door of the house.

Ouyang Song saw it, so he could only shake his head helplessly and turn away.

Liu Yong walked in front of Ouyang Lanlan and bowed.

"Liu Guanren, slave slave send you out!" Ouyang Lanlan said with a smile.

"Then there's Miss Lao Ouyang." Liu Yong said.

The two walked out of the gate side by side, Ouyang Lanlan personally watched Liu Yong get into the carriage, Liu Yong waved to her in the carriage, she also waved, and in the middle of the wave, Liu Yong's carriage rattled and pressed the stone road leisurely.

On the carriage, Ouyang Lanlan's smile always stopped in Liu Yong's mind, making him not think about it, as if he had been enchanted by Ouyang Lanlan.

He felt that he and Ouyang Lanlan were very good at talking, and compared to Lin Qingrou, they had more common language. Moreover, what he said and things, Ouyang Lanlan also seemed to be more interested than Lin Qingrou.

Why is this so? He finally figured out that Ouyang Lanlan is equivalent to a modern intellectual woman, although women in ancient times were not allowed to participate in the imperial examination, but Ouyang Lanlan's cultural quality was not low at all. And Lin Qingrou has lived in a poor family since she was a child, not to mention reading books and learning culture, it is already a blessing to be able to eat enough. This may be the difference between these two beauties.

Lin Qingrou is more gentle and considerate, while Ouyang Lanlan is more like a mentor and friend. But in Liu Yong's heart, he still loves Lin Qingrou more. Because Lin Qingrou gave him a sweet and gentle township. He could only sleep peacefully by holding her in his arms every night.

He first went to the new house to take a look, and the people put the house in order, and they could come back to live at any time. Then he went to his father-in-law's and mother-in-law's Lin teahouse. The second elder welcomed him in very warmly, and some of the guests who drank tea knew Liu Yong, and they got up to bow to him, and he also returned the salute one by one.

When Father Lin saw that his son-in-law was a big official and was so respected, his beautiful nose was bubbling at that time. But I also felt afraid, if I chose Ma Gan at that time, the gains outweighed the losses.

Liu Yong saw that the business here was good, and the money he earned was enough for the old couple, and he took care of more people, so he didn't have to be so tired.
