Ouyang Xiu hadn't seen his eldest daughter for almost three years, for the sake of his eldest daughter, even his eldest son had great opinions about him, and it was rare to go home once a year, Ouyang Xiu was extremely remorseful in his heart, but he would never admit it, no student was allowed to talk about his eldest daughter Ouyang Qian or Fan Ning, otherwise he would be furious.

However, after his wife Xue got a sum of money from Fan Ning, the family was much more prosperous, and he didn't bother his husband in the past two years, Ouyang Xiu usually went to the history museum to go to the court, and then trained some students, and the days were very peaceful, and his eyesight gradually recovered, and he could barely see the words in front of him.

But in the past two days, Ouyang Xiu's heart was a little confused, yesterday the Son of Heaven summoned him, asked him a lot of information, praised him for having a good son-in-law, and hinted that he was ready to promote him to the rank of Longtu Pavilion Straight Scholar, which undoubtedly caused huge waves in Ouyang Xiu's heart.

Ouyang Xiu is currently a doctor of the fourth grade, because of his bad eyes, he has been compiling classics in the history museum, this fourth rank has been bothering him for nearly ten years, and he has not been able to break through, just when he has lost hope, the Son of Heaven suddenly hinted that he will be promoted to a straight bachelor from the third grade Longtu Pavilion, which simply made him overjoyed.

However, what kept Ouyang Xiu awake last night was not that he was promoted, but that the Son of Heaven was talking to him about Fanning most of the time, which made Ouyang Xiu feel very uncomfortable.

Although Ouyang Xiu did not allow others to mention Fan Ning in front of him, it did not mean that he did not understand Fan Ning's situation, Fan Ning Ding was worried about returning to his hometown, and came back to serve as the pacification envoy of Yingtian Governor and Jingdong Road, and then fought with Zhang Yaozuo, Zhao Zhongzhen took the position, he served as Zhan Shi of the East Palace, he was only twenty-five years old, and he was already a second-grade county duke, from the third-grade silver Qingguanglu doctor, according to this trend, it is an ironclad thing to enter the phase before the age of thirty-five.

In fact, Ouyang Xiu is very satisfied with Fan Ning's son-in-law, he is excellent in all aspects, although he cannot inherit his literary talent, but he is unmatched in his career, but it is a pity that his daughter is not married to him, which makes Ouyang Xiu's heart full of regret and hatred.

But the Son of Heaven told himself that Taichang Temple was going to entitle his daughter as a third-class lady, and Ouyang Xiu immediately understood that this was the Son of Heaven persuading peace.

For a while, Ouyang Xiu's heart was in turmoil.

This morning, Ouyang Xiu finally made up his mind to make peace with his eldest daughter, Fan Ning could not see him for a while, but he wanted to see his daughter and his granddaughter who had never met.

In the room, Ouyang Xiu wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes with a linen towel, and he was still immersed in the joy and sadness of reuniting with his daughter.

He didn't see his daughter for a long time, but his daughter knelt down and called him daddy, Ouyang Xiu suddenly burst into tears, and several years of dissatisfaction and resentment disappeared at that moment, and his granddaughter's liveliness and cuteness made Ouyang Xiu like it abnormally, and he even gave his granddaughter his poetry manuscript as a meeting gift.

At this time, there was the sound of his wife's footsteps outside, Ouyang Xiu hurriedly wiped away his tears, he was very defensive of his wife Xue, and didn't want her to catch his weakness.

Last year, Ouyang Xiu secretly gave his eldest son a little rent subsidy, but when Xue found out, he had a big quarrel with him in front of many students, which made Ouyang Xiu completely cold to her, if she wasn't the mother of her four children, she would have divorced her a long time ago.

"Master, they're gone!"

Xue walked in with a smile on her face, her attitude towards Ouyang Qian was not as cold and hostile as before, on the contrary, she flattered her in every possible way, praising Ouyang Qian's daughter Fan Zhen'er like a fairy, as if nothing had happened before.

Ouyang Xiu understood what she wanted, picked up the three thousand guan huizi on the table and handed it to her, "Take it!" Ah Qian gave it to me, you use it to subsidize the family. ”

Xue Shi hurriedly took the money and said with a smile: "That Mrs. Zhu is the atmosphere!" The first time I came to the door, I gave a meeting gift of 1,000 yuan, especially she and A Qian are like sisters, I have seen a lot, there are few women who understand things like her, and A Qian is really blessed to meet her. ”

Seeing that her husband was expressionless, she said tentatively: "Mrs. Zhu hopes that Aunt Fan can come to meet the master, when does the master think it is appropriate?" ”

Ouyang Xiu knew his wife too well, she was so enthusiastic about Fan Ning coming to the door, it was nothing more than Fan Ning's profitability, Ouyang Xiu said lightly: "It's not the time yet, let's wait and talk!" ”

Xue was still a little unwilling, and said: "I heard Mrs. Zhu say that Aunt Fan is going to buy a manor outside the city and give it to her daughter, master, that's it"

Without waiting for her to finish, Ouyang Xiu coldly interrupted her, "The child's surname is Fan, not Ouyang, don't fight this idea." ”

"But it's a manor! After the old man retires, where are we going to move? ”

Ouyang Xiu glanced at her and said lightly: "This mansion is no longer an official mansion, and the official family has already given me me." ”

Xue's eyes widened, "You didn't lie to me!" When did this happen? ”

"Yesterday morning, when the official summoned me, they officially gave it to me, and in two days someone will send the house deed and the title deed over."

Xue Shi shouted excitedly and hugged her husband, "I just said it!" We're finally up and running, you've been promoted, you've got a house, and your daughter is back, thanks to a good son-in-law! ”

Ouyang Xiu pushed her away, although she was right, it was because of Fan Ning that she came to work from time to time, but when these words came out of his wife's mouth, they completely changed tone, which made him deeply disgusted.

He said calmly: "I know that Dalang can't get this house, with you, it must be inherited for Erlang, but there are some things I want to say in front, my ancestral house in my hometown is for Dalang, in addition, I give Dalang ten yuan housing subsidies every month, you have no opinion!" ”

Of course, the Xue family has no opinion, this five-acre inner city house is worth at least 30,000 yuan, how much can the subsidy be, more than 100 yuan a year, only more than 1,000 yuan in ten years, there is no comparison at all, as for the ancestral house, it is not worth anything at all, she has never taken it to heart.

She said repeatedly: "Yes! OK! It's all up to you. ”

"There you go! Let me be quiet for a moment. ”

Xue was so excited that she wanted to find her housekeeper to show off about it, so she turned around and left.

Ouyang Xiu heard her footsteps go away, and then took out an envelope from the drawer, inside was a house deed and title deed, which was also given to him by his daughter, a small house with three acres of land in the eastern outer city.

This small mansion was the yard that Fan Ning bought for Ouyang Qian, and later Fan Tiege bought two pieces of land in the yard and expanded it into a three-acre mansion, which was Ouyang Qian's private property, Ouyang Qian wanted to give it to her brother Ouyang Hua, who was renting a house in the capital, but Ouyang Hua refused to ask for it, so Ouyang Qian planned to transfer it to her eldest brother through her father.

Of course, Ouyang Xiu will not let his wife know about this small mansion, and his own mansion can only be given to the second son, so what should the eldest son do? He is only a petty official from the eighth rank now, and he can't afford to buy a house in the capital at all, and Ouyang Xiu doesn't want to wronged his eldest son, so his daughter gave him this small mansion, so that he can finally appease his eldest son.

It's still a daughter's intimacy!

Ouyang Xiu has never felt that his daughter is so caring and filial like now.

At night, when the clouds and rain in the Hongluan tent first stopped, Ouyang Qian crouched in her husband's arms and whispered: "Husband, I am really happy today, I have never been so happy as today." ”

Ouyang Qianheng's knot in her heart was finally untied, and she reconciled with her father, which made her heart extremely happy, which meant that her father finally accepted the fact that she was married to Fan Ning.

Fan Ning was amused in his heart, when he was a peacemaker in person today, how could Ouyang Xiu not give this face?

"Then when will I go to visit my father-in-law?"

"Wait a little longer!"

Ouyang Qian said apologetically: "Give Daddy a little time, I want to go to Daddy to pay New Year's greetings to Daddy during the New Year, this is very natural." ”

"Of course I don't have an opinion, I'm afraid that your stepmother will be anxious and force your father to see me."

Ouyang Qian snorted disdainfully and said: "She wishes that you would come to the door tomorrow, because you will definitely not come empty-handed, but I don't like her, I will tell my father in a few days, and our family will go to his old man's house to pay New Year's greetings during the Chinese New Year." ”

Speaking of not coming to the door empty-handed, Fanning remembered something and said with a smile: "How did your father give the manuscript to Zhen'er, aren't you afraid that she will tear it up?" ”

Ouyang Qian glanced at her husband with disgust, "Where is it for Zhen'er, it is clearly for you, don't you understand?" ”

Fan Ning hugged his wife and said with a smile: "Since my father-in-law has a heart, those of us who are juniors have to be sensible, and when I have time in two days, I will find a big bookstore to engrave it, which is called "Drunkard Poetry Collection", I believe it will be popular all over the world." ”
