Chapter 40: A Visit to Ouyang Mansion

At this time, Ouyang Xue also learned from his second uncle Ouyang Import that Yan Heng made a lot of money by selling "Preparing for the County Test: Thirty Selected Articles".

This made her quite depressed, one hand supported her pink jaw, frowned at the green bamboo outside the window, and said to herself: "He actually came up with this trick." ”

Ouyang Xue really wanted to ask Yan Heng how he thought of using the county test to make money, which made her plan fall through.

But she didn't dare to go to Yan Heng alone, she only knew the Yan family because her second uncle and the Yan family were world friends, and she had no relationship with the Yan family, so even if her daughter's family was no longer under the control of her second uncle, it was not good to visit the Yan family rashly.

And now that her second uncle is sick, she naturally has no choice but to beg her second uncle Ouyang Jin to take her to Yan's house to play.

Ouyang Xue had even planned how she would abuse Yan Heng when he became a slave at home.

For example, let him clean the toilet, pick up the golden hairpin in the pool, and pick up the kite hanging from the tree.

But she didn't expect Yan Heng to get rid of the crisis of becoming a slave of her Ouyang family with a collection of thirty current texts.

This made Ouyang Xue a little disappointed, and the good mood that was full of anticipation was instantly lost.

Just when Ouyang Xue's soul was not guarding, he saw Yan Heng and Xiao Yan Song standing outside the west gate in the distance of the attic.

Yan Heng was wearing a blue cloth robe, and Xiao Yan Song was wearing a blue short coat, and the two brothers seemed to be saying something to their housekeeper.

"Isn't he coming to my house? The second uncle has already ordered that nothing should come in, it seems that I have to go and help him", Ouyang Xue thought like this and hurriedly turned around and went downstairs.

Unexpectedly, at this time, a young man wearing a long robe with white arrow sleeves walked in.

The person who came was Ouyang Xue's aunt and cousin Dou Ding.

"My cousin is here."

Ouyang Xue smiled awkwardly, glanced at the past with her eyes, and saw Ouyang Lu and her nurse who came back from outside and Yan Heng and the two brothers into Ouyang Mansion, so she was relieved and had to go back to the house to entertain her cousin.

"Cousin has always been good?"

Dou Ding shook the folding fan gracefully, and couldn't help but glance at Ouyang Xue's pink neck.

It wasn't until Ouyang Xue turned around that she hurriedly withdrew her eyes, and sat down upright under Ouyang Xue, not squinting.

"Thanks to my cousin's concern, everything is fine."

Ouyang Xue behaved elegantly and blessed Dou Ding, and then got up and ordered someone to serve tea to his cousin Dou Ding.

But Dou Ding directly took Ouyang Xue's "Preparing for the County Exam: Thirty Selected Current Texts", and couldn't help laughing: "My cousin also reads such books of chasing fame and fortune? ”

Dou Ding seemed to intend to show Ouyang Xue Qinggao, and after asking, he pretended to look at it seriously:

"Editor-in-chief: Strict! Is that the old Xiucai who has been in the township test for fifteen years? I heard that Uncle Ouyang Jin is the one who is the same classmate? It's really ridiculous, this person also has the face to comment on such books, if he intends to make a name for himself by learning in addition to his career, he should also annotate some "Shangshu" and "Spring and Autumn", why show his incompetence. ”

Although Yan Heng knew that Daming had no copyright awareness, he also felt that the books published by his Wenqu study also had to have an author.

Therefore, he asked his father to be the first author of this "Beizhan County Examination: Thirty Selected Essays" in the name of the editor-in-chief.

After all, his father is also a student, and it is better to have his name than to let himself, a twelve-year-old boy, and let the five-year-old Xiao Yan Song be named, and this can also increase the popularity of his father Yan Zhun by the way.

But what Yan Heng wouldn't have thought of was that even his father was looked down upon by the young man named Dou Ding in front of him.

Ouyang Xue can be regarded as having seen Yan Zhun a few times, and she still respects Yan Heng and Xiao Yan Song's father, and even has never felt that Yan Zhun is more like a good father, at least not as serious as her father Ouyang Da.

Now seeing her cousin Dou Ding say this about Yan Zhun, she couldn't help but smile awkwardly, and didn't know how to answer, so she had to defend Yan Heng's father, Yan Zhun:

"Where is this Uncle Yan Shi, this guy named Yan Heng made it up in the name of his father."

"His father is just a talented man, how good can his son be, so it can be seen, I'm afraid that the Shiwen in it is all bullshit, if this is shown to the Confucian children, wouldn't it be misleading!"

Dou Ding said very indignantly, and said: "If my cousin likes Shiwen, I have a few articles here, which are all appreciated by the teacher, and my cousin may be able to appreciate them." ”

Dou Ding said that he wanted to let people serve his pen and ink, and show his calligraphy and literary talents.

Ouyang Xue knew that her cousin was even more self-confident than her brother, but she herself was not interested in Shi Wen, so she smiled and said:

"No need, it's not that my cousin likes Shiwen, it's just because this book "Preparing for the County Exam: Thirty Selected Shiwen" has a selection of my father's current text, and my cousin wants to see how Uncle Yan Shi evaluates my father's current text, so I bought it."

Dou Ding was a little confused, he couldn't help but remember that he had just scolded the articles here for being bullshit, and said quite embarrassedly for a while:

"My cousin lost his words for a while, this, please don't mind my cousin."

……

The words were divided into two ends, after Yan Heng's family drank the celebration wine with the craftsmen of Wenqu Study.

On the second day, Yan Heng took Xiao Yan Song to Ouyang Mansion to visit his uncle Ouyang Jin.

Father Yan Zhun did not come to visit, and now he has to hurry up to the homes of his classmates and friends to send money according to Yan Heng's wishes.

This may also be a rare point for Yan Zhun, as long as he feels that it is the right thing, he can also let go of his father's money and help his son do things, regardless of the hierarchical order.

However, Yan Heng didn't expect that the Ouyang family would be so difficult to enter, even if he voted for a famous post, the people of the Ouyang family refused to open the door on the grounds that the old man was seriously ill.

Fortunately, Ouyang Lu appeared in time at this time, and after crying and coquettishness, the porters of the Ouyang family had to let Yan Heng and Xiao Yan Song in.

The Ouyang family is naturally much larger than his own Yan family, and there is almost no end in sight in the big mansion with seven entrances in front and back.

Xiao Yan Song stared at Ouyang Lu in the soft sedan chair with only one eye.

Yan Heng looked around, but when he saw it, he inadvertently saw Ouyang Xue talking to Dou Ding, and he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, and then withdrew his gaze.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Yan Heng was taken by Ouyang Lu into Ouyang Jin's bedroom, it happened that Ouyang Xue said goodbye to Dou Ding.

Ouyang Xue also saw that Yan Heng was brought over by Ouyang Lu, but she pretended not to see her, and Bei Jia Zhishu politely waved her handkerchief at Dou Ding: "Goodbye, cousin!" ”

Dou Ding couldn't see Ouyang Xue's gentle move, half of his bones were crisped, and he also replied affectionately:

"Goodbye cousin, when my cousin and I get the first place in the county trial, I will express my heart to my uncle."

Ouyang Xue smiled awkwardly, and after seeing Dou Ding leave, she turned around and said to Yan Heng in surprise: "What are you doing here?" ”
