Ouyang Xiu is busy with government affairs, and the two palaces are out of harmony during this time, so they are even more busy in the political hall, Ouyang Xiu has left home before dawn every day these days, breakfast and lunch are eaten in the political affairs hall, and only when it is dinner, he has time to accompany his family.

At that moment, Ouyang Xiu left the study and came to the dining room, only the people in the family were already sitting around the dining table, only the main seat was still empty, Ouyang Xiu, who was the head of the family, did not eat before eating, and other people would never dare to move chopsticks, this is the rule of a large family.

"Let's all eat, don't starve my little grandchildren!" Ouyang Xiu sat down on the right seat with a smile, and then picked up the chopsticks and said, he has four sons and seven daughters, of which the daughters are all married, the four sons are officials in other places, and most of the grandchildren are outside with their parents, only the youngest son Ouyang Wei sent his children to his father because of the death of his wife, so they let them raise them on their behalf.

Ouyang Wei is only in his thirties this year, he is a general judge in Yongzhou, he has a daughter and three sons, of which the daughter is Ouyang Xiu's favorite granddaughter Ouyang Wanling, and the remaining three sons are younger than Ouyang Wanling, the youngest is only eight years old, and the four of them are the youngest among Ouyang Xiu's grandchildren, and they grew up here in Ouyang Xiu, and they are usually the most loved by Ouyang Xiu.

"Sir, try it, today the housekeeper actually bought two big cabbage, people in Tokyo City call it cabbage, since I left my hometown in Jiangxi, I haven't eaten it for many years, Wanling and their sister and brother have grown up in the north since they were children, and they probably haven't even seen the cabbage in their hometown." At this time, Ouyang Xiu's wife, Xue, smiled and gave Ouyang Xiu a piece of cabbage.

Ouyang Xiu only appeared at this time. Today's dinner actually had the fried cabbage that he used to eat in his hometown, which made him very surprised, and he picked up a piece and tasted it in his mouth, and couldn't help but praise: "Sure enough, the dishes in my hometown are delicious, Wanling, you sisters and brothers should also taste it, it is not easy to see hometown dishes in Tokyo, let alone in this midwinter season." ”

Ouyang Wanling and the others were discussing the cabbage just now, but their grandfather didn't dare to move the chopsticks, and now when they heard their grandfather's words, they also tasted the cabbage with their three younger brothers. Let's not talk about the taste of the cabbage itself. Just being able to have green vegetables to eat in this kind of green season is already a very luxurious thing, which will also give people an illusion of taste, so Ouyang Wanling's sister and brother also praised it together. I think this is the best green vegetable I have ever tasted.

Ouyang Xiu's previous tutoring was very strict. When the sons were there. has always been silent about eating, but since the sons went out one after another, only Ouyang Wanling's granddaughters and grandchildren were left to accompany him. Slowly, he didn't care about the rules at home, for example, when eating, Ouyang Xiu liked to ask a few grandchildren about their studies, and even asked questions directly at the dinner table, which seemed to be happy.

Maybe it was because he hadn't eaten hometown food for a long time, Ouyang Xiu also felt a great appetite for this dinner, and even ate half a bowl of rice more than usual, which made his wife and concubine also very happy, seeing that dinner was about to end, Ouyang Xiu only then remembered and asked: "By the way, where did these cabbages come from, wouldn't they also be transported from the south?" ”

Hearing Ouyang Xiu's question, Xue immediately smiled and said: "I heard from the steward who bought vegetables that someone started planting around Tokyo, and then stored it until now before taking it out and selling it, the price is about the same as that of lotus root, although it is a little expensive, but it is not easy to eat cabbage in this weather." ”

In fact, the Xue family concealed one thing, that is, these cabbages were planted by the tenants of the Guangyang County Palace, because of Ouyang Wanling's matter, Zhao Yan's name has always been a taboo in Ouyang Xiu's Mansion, especially now that Ouyang Wanling is also present, so the Xue family naturally will not explain the true origin of these cabbages.

When Ouyang Xiu heard his wife's answer, he also smiled at the moment: "In this way, I'm afraid that in a few years, there will be many vegetable farmers around Tokyo City to grow cabbage, and it will be much easier for us to eat cabbage when we want to." ”

"Then you have to wait until next year, I listened to the steward, the cabbage seller seems to have a lot of cabbage in storage, and has promised to sell it in the next few days, so if the lord wants to eat, let the steward buy more back these days, maybe you can eat it again during the New Year." Xue spoke again at this time.

"That's great, the doctor said last time that my grandfather's stomach is not good, so I usually have to eat more vegetarian food, and buy more cabbage in the future, so that my grandfather doesn't have to eat radish every day!" At this time, Ouyang Wanling also said very happily, because her mother died early and her father was not around, Ouyang Wanling was also very concerned about her grandfather, who raised their sister and brother single-handedly.

Hearing the words of his wife and granddaughter, Ouyang Xiu was also relieved, and just wanted to say something, suddenly there was a sound of footsteps outside, and then an old servant came in to report: "Master Qiqi, the king of Guangyang County sent a cart of gifts, and the old slave didn't know whether to accept it?" Please also show the lord and the lady! ”

Hearing the old slave's report, Ouyang Xiu and the Xue family were stunned, and the Xue family even secretly glanced at their granddaughter Ouyang Wanling, but to her surprise, Ouyang Wanling did not show any anger when she heard Zhao Yan's name, but instead sat there with a calm face, as if she had heard the name of a stranger.

"This is not a New Year's Day, what kind of gift did the King of Guangyang County give?" After thinking about it for a moment, Ouyang Xiu finally asked.

"Master Qiyu, the king of Guangyang sent a cart of cabbage, according to the person who gave the gift, these cabbages are planted by the tenants of the county king's mansion, and now the snow is closing the road, and the green vegetables are very rare, so the county king sent the cabbage stored in his home to our house, saying that he wanted you to try it, and the palace and several other ministers, as well as the Cao family and the Gao family, also received the cabbage!" The old servant spoke again, of course, he also heard all this news from the people who came to give gifts from the Guangyang County Palace.

When Ouyang Xiu heard this, he was also silent at the moment, last time Zhao Yan sent a painting, and he accepted it out of love, but this time Zhao Yan sent some vegetables, which belonged to household things. Generally, only when the two families are friendly, they will give these things as gifts, if they accept it now, it means that they are willing to be friendly with Zhao Yan, and it can be regarded as indirectly expressing forgiveness to Zhao Yan, but when they think of Ouyang Wanling's matter, Ouyang Xiu is a little unwilling.

"Grandfather, since someone has sent a gift, and other families have accepted it, let's accept it!" At this moment, Ouyang Wanling suddenly spoke. She heard just now that the cabbage she ate was actually from Zhao Yan's mansion. And when the other party also sent a car, she was also very surprised, and then she saw her grandfather's embarrassed expression, and she immediately guessed her grandfather's thoughts. So he spoke.

Ouyang Xiu was stunned when he heard his granddaughter's words. Then he shook his head and said, "No." It is because of this Zhao Yan that Wanling has suffered so many grievances, although Zhao Yan has changed a lot now. But you can't forgive him so lightly, let people notify the giver of the gift, and pull those cabbages back! ”

However, as soon as Ouyang Xiu's words fell, he was stopped by Ouyang Wanling again and said: "Grandfather, although the original incident was all because of Zhao Yan, but in fact, he was also the victim of that incident, and now that the other party has taken the initiative to resolve the grievances between the two families, grandfather, you can't be too stingy, it's better to accept the gift of the King of Guangyang, and see each other in the future!" ”

Hearing Ouyang Wanling's words, Xue Shi also opened his mouth to persuade at this time: "Master, since Wanling has said so, then it is better to accept the gift, I heard that after the county king got married, the whole person seems to have changed as if he was a different person, and now His Majesty is so young, and the prince has not been fully established, in case ......"

"A woman's opinion!" Before the Xue family finished speaking, he was interrupted by Ouyang Xiu in a loud voice, and at the same time glared at his wife fiercely, speaking of which, the Xue family is good at everything, but it is not important to speak, this kind of thing is just said in private, saying this in front of so many people, if it spreads, it will definitely fall into the hands of people.

Seeing Ouyang Xiu's anger, the Xue family had no choice but to shut up at the moment, but saw Ouyang Xiu be silent for a moment, and finally changed his mind and said: "Since Wanling said so, then accept the gift, but it is all because of this Zhao Yan that your reputation has been damaged, and you still can't find a suitable person, grandfather, I am also uncomfortable!" ”

Hearing her grandfather's words, Ouyang Wanling smiled slightly and said: "Grandfather doesn't have to worry about me, some time ago, the princess of Guangyang County advocated remarriage at the age of seventeen, and also established a late marriage club, many aristocratic women who have not been out of the cabinet have joined the late marriage club, and the granddaughter and a few little sisters also joined it last month, I am only sixteen years old after the New Year, and I am not yet the marriage age advocated by the late marriage club." ”

Ouyang Xiu has also heard about the Late Marriage Society, and even the imperial court advocates that women get married after the age of seventeen, which is said to reduce the danger of women's childbirth, of course, there are still very few people who really obey, and even Ouyang Xiu himself is a little dissatisfied with this, but now Ouyang Wanling uses the Late Marriage Club to comfort him, which also makes Ouyang Xiu feel a lot better.

On this day, not only Ouyang Xiu's mansion ate cabbage, but almost all the tables of the nobles of all sizes in Tokyo City had a dish made of cabbage, it can be said that it only took one day's work, the name of cabbage has spread all over Tokyo, which also made Wang Qi the next day when they went to various vegetable markets to sell vegetables, they encountered a more crazy scene than the first day, although the cabbage of four hundred yuan a pound is expensive, but there are many people who can afford to eat, Wang Qi and their cabbage were almost robbed in the blink of an eye, and there are many people who directly throw the money into the car to book, Crooked Wang Qi's happy mouths.

Wang Qi and their tenants counted the money until their hands cramped, Zhao Yan and Cao Ying also took the opportunity to send out most of the cabbage, and gained a lot of favors, which can be regarded as their own gains, and there is another month is the Spring Festival, Zhao Yan thought that he could spend the first New Year after the crossing peacefully, but he didn't expect that just a few days later, he met one after another guests to visit, and everyone has a great background, it seems that Zhao Yan will not stop this year. (To be continued!)
