After the Spring Festival, the first year of Jiayou entered.

This year, Ouyang Bian was ten years old.

According to the original year number, this year should have been the third year of Zhihe, not the first year of Jiayou.

The reason was that after the Spring Festival, Renzong suddenly fell ill and became very ill.

On the first day of the first lunar month, according to traditional practice, all civil and military officials must attend the New Year's Day ceremony.

On this day, all the officials walked into the Daqing Hall in the snow to meet the annual New Year's Day ceremony.

However, it was on this grand day that something no one expected to happen.

When all the officials were listed, and the eunuchs on both sides had just rolled up the reed curtains, Emperor Renzong, who should have been waiting for all the officials to congratulate, suddenly fell to the side of the dragon throne.

The eunuchs quickly placed them on the curtain and helped Emperor Renzong up, and some pinched the people with their hands.

The officials in the hall could only worry below, and no one dared to step forward, because if they came forward at will, it would violate the etiquette system.

After a while, Emperor Renzong calmed down, so he rolled up the curtain again and accepted the salutes of all the officials.

On the fifth day of the first lunar month, a banquet should be held in the palace as usual.

Emperor Renzong held a banquet in Zichen Hall to entertain all officials and Khitan envoys who came to congratulate New Year's Day.

Prime Minister Wen Yanbo held the wine glass and climbed up the steps to celebrate Emperor Renzong's birthday. Unexpectedly, Emperor Renzong said directly: "Are you unhappy?"

Wen Yanbo said this according to Emperor Renzong. He knew that his condition had not yet recovered and he didn't know what to say in a hurry, so he smiled and said nothing.

The next day, the Khitan envoy entered the palace to bid farewell to Emperor Renzong and held a banquet in Zichen Hall again.

As soon as the Khitan envoy walked into the court, Emperor Renzong suddenly shouted: "Summons to the palace quickly, I don't want to see you!"

The eunuchs on both sides saw that the emperor was incoherent and knew that they must have been sick again, so they quickly helped them inside.

The Khitan envoy who stayed outside was stunned and was stunned for a long time without knowing what the situation was.

Prime Minister Wen Yanbo could only use the excuse of Emperor Renzong drinking too much yesterday to host a banquet for the ministers and award the letter of state on their behalf.

These news were a piece of information Ouyang Bian learned from Wang Anshi, and based on the history he knew, he inferred a rough idea.

The atmosphere in Bianjing City suddenly became a little nervous, and there were more guards at the city gates everywhere.

When Ouyang Bian went out, he saw many soldiers patrolling, which added a little solemnity to the Spring Festival.

Emperor Renzong's condition became more and more serious, and the imperial physician had no choice but to do so. Some ministers proposed to implement a general amnesty to pray for blessings and safety for the emperor.

In response, the ministers of the two prefectures held a special meeting to discuss, and finally unanimously passed the amnesty order and burned incense day and night in Daqing Hall.

That's it, another week passed.

This week, Emperor Renzong was still like this, and there was no improvement. It was not until after the 14th day of the first lunar month that Emperor Renzong gradually woke up, but he could no longer speak.

It took more than a month like this, and it was not until the end of February that Emperor Renzong finally recovered.

So, the third year of Zhihe came to an abrupt end and became the first year of Jiayou.

The tension in the court had nothing to do with Ouyang Bian. Ouyang Xiu returned to Bianjing from Liao Kingdom on February 22, which was the major event of the Ouyang family.

After finishing the long journey of thousands of miles of Huang Ai and returning to the warm home, Ouyang Xiu felt particularly comfortable and comfortable.

After four months of traveling in the bitter cold winter and returning again, Ouyang Xiu felt like he was a different life.

After not seeing each other for four months, he felt that his four sons were much older.

He looked over one by one.

The eldest son Ouyang Fa became steady, and Ouyang Xiu nodded with satisfaction. It seemed that Hu Yuan’s teachings were effective.

The second son, Ouyang Yi, was so crazy that he wrote a passage to his family members on the road.

[Not being carved, no weapon can be formed, and people do not know without learning. However, jade has the unchanging virtue of being a thing. Even if it is not carved, it is still not harmful to jade. A person's nature will be moved by things. If he does not learn, he will abandon a gentleman and become a villain. How can he not remember it? Fu Yi.]

This son is dull and introverted. Although he is smart, he cannot be used without decorating it, so he gave some instructions.

The third brother Ouyang Fen is full of energy and loves reading. He has shown his literary writing skills and is very talented.

This third brother Ouyang Xiu is quite appreciated. In terms of inheriting his knowledge, this third brother is the most likely to do it.

Whenever he writes in the study, Ouyang Fen would stand by and watch with relish. He liked to watch his father's writing, and he liked to think about the words written by his father's essays.

As for the fourth brother Ouyang Bian... Ouyang Xiu frowned.

Ouyang Bian tied up his hair and his body was much taller than four months ago.

Yet, this kind of person attaches great importance to food. He eats and drinks every day and has a particularly pleasant surprise. In the middle of winter, he has to look for various vegetables.

The winter in Bianjing is not without vegetables, but it is too expensive, so expensive that ordinary wealthy people dare not eat it because they are all grown from greenhouses or even watered with hot spring water. However, such a child has to eat vegetables every day, which is even more expensive than him.

In addition to the habit of eating vegetables, I also have to drink milk and goat milk every day, eat eggs, river fish, cashews, peanuts, etc. and other kinds of foods, called "balanced diet", and let everyone in my family eat this.

Not that it's not delicious, but actually... it's quite enjoyable.

Under this kind of diet, the four sons did grow up very quickly, each with strong body, much older than children of the same age.

only……

"What's wrong with your blue lips?"

Ouyang Xiu slipped Ouyang Bianti into the study and asked with a frown.

In his impression, Ouyang Bian looked red with red lips and white teeth, and was as delicate as jade.

Why haven't I seen each other for four months? Although I have grown a lot, my face is pale and blood-colored, and I have panda eyes.

Could it be... Ouyang Xiu couldn't help but be furious.

It’s because I’m not at home, so I’ve gone there, where did this kid go? Could it be—Yuxianlou?

At such a young age, just doing things like this will lead to death!

Ouyang Bian rubbed his drooping eyelids and forced a smile: "I'm too busy recently."

"What are you busy with?"

Ouyang Xiu was a little dissatisfied.

Ouyang Bian smiled bitterly, and then broke up his fingers and counted one by one: "There are too many, I will be as busy as you have been on the mission.

Daily homework is the most time-consuming, and the three teachers run in turn to class, which takes up most of the time.

Then when you are not here during the Chinese New Year, I will give you enough etiquette to help your family. You can't be away from home, and the Ouyang family will be rude.

Don't worry, I have basically visited your colleagues with my elder brother, and so are our relatives, so there will never be any omissions.

Then I need to confirm the year-end account, annual meeting, summary, employee salary adjustment, bonus, etc. of industries such as Ice Room, East-West Fire, Chengyuan, and West Lake City. Although they will do it for me, they cannot let it go.

The key is that I also combined these industries, formed Jiayuan Group to coordinate and adjust the structural and dig deep into industrial upgrading. This is the most laborious thing. I worked hard for two months, and this is a little bit obvious..."
