Ouyang Xiu's residence, Hu Su and Cai Xiang stood in the courtyard and looked at the sky. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Cai Xiang shouted into the house: "Uncle Yong, this is a good weather, if you don't go out to play, what are you hiding in the house?" I was fine in the pavilion just now, don't pretend to be sick! ”

Ouyang Xiu in the study was about to say that he was sick, but when he heard Cai Xiang's last sentence, he had to swallow the words back into his stomach and said in a muffled voice: "You just have to go, I will study at home by myself!" ”

Cai Xiang laughed out loud: "Isn't Uncle Yong still angry with Xu Zhizhi?" If you have something to say, I respect you as a man! But if someone says it, you will be haunted by it, like a woman, and you will look down on it! ”

Hu Su also said: "Minister Xu waits for the system, what you said at that time is indeed true. Xu Beizhi just enlightened you, and didn't treat you well, which is also rare and generous. The ancients were guilty of pleading, speaking of which, you should go to the Xu Mansion to thank you and wait for the system. How can you be like this, hiding and not daring to see people? ”

Ouyang Xiutiansheng was a scholar in the eighth year of Jinshi and the second, and he served as the secretary of the provincial school secretary Lang to stay in Xijing, and when his term expired, he was promoted to the evaluation of Dali and the pavilion proofreading. I think that back then, Xu Ping was a junior high school, and he was awarded the title of general as a supervisor and a general judge in Yongzhou, which was higher than the current Ouyang Xiu's official rank. According to the order of official seniority, Ouyang Xiu still has two terms and six examinations before he can make a general judgment. Now, the two of them are one heaven and one underground, if it weren't for Ouyang Xiu's status in the literary world, Xu Ping could be regarded as a teaching from a superior to a subordinate at that time. To put it mildly, ordinary petty officials of this level have not had a chance to teach Xu Ping a few lessons.

In the eyes of Hu Su and these people, where does Ouyang Xiu have any face in front of Xu Ping? If you don't have face, naturally there is no such thing as losing face, just listen to what you say, and do what you have to do.

Ouyang Xiu didn't think so. In the first year of Tiansheng, he was sixteen years old for the first time to take the Suizhou Liberation Test, and the article was very good at that time, especially the sentence "The inner snake fights and the outer snake hurts, the new ghost is big and the ghost is small" was recited for a while. It's just that he accidentally rhymed and was dethroned, but he also became famous.

In the fifth year of Tiansheng, Ouyang Xiu passed the liberation test, and he fell first in the provincial test. It was in that year that Ouyang Xiu saw Xu Ping for the first time, and he was in the same examination room as himself. As a result, Xu Ping, who was three years younger than him, went to high school all the way, although his ranking was not high, but he passed the palace examination smoothly, and when he was still in the roll call, he appeared in Ruiguang and chose a first-class jinshi.

After Ouyang Xiu fell, he was appreciated by the nobles, and first Xu Yan married his daughter to her and taught him personally, so that his knowledge improved by leaps and bounds. In the eighth year of Tiansheng, he was a scholar and the first, and when he arrived in Luoyang, he was appreciated by Qian Weiyan, and traveled with Yin Zhu and others.

After Mrs. Xu died, she was appreciated by Yang Daya, the commander of the military department, and married her daughter to him.

After that, Qian Weiyan was demoted, Wang Shu was in charge of Henan Mansion, and Ouyang Xiu was appreciated by Wang Shu and recommended to enter the pavilion.

It can be said that Ouyang Xiu has been smooth sailing in the past ten years, with the help of nobles all the way, coupled with the flattery and flattery of his literati colleagues, he can't help but be fluttering and his heart is extremely high. Ouyang Xiuwen's style is ancient, and his articles learn from Han Yu. In fact, he not only learned Han Yu's articles, but also took Han Yu at this time to take responsibility to inherit the sage and open up a new generation of Confucianism.

Han Yu is a Buddha, and Ouyang Xiu is also a Buddha, and he goes one step further to cut off the root of Buddhist thought. After the Northern Song Dynasty, Confucianism completely overwhelmed Buddhism, and Ouyang Xiu's contribution can be said to be the first. Han Yu preached Taoism, respected Mencius, and Ouyang Xiu did the same, denounced other schools of Confucianism as pseudo-learning, and spared no effort to criticize them.

Appreciated by nobles, famous in the world, and self-appointed to follow the learning of saints, Ouyang Xiu at this time can be said to be looking at the world and has no spare children. Suddenly, Xu Ping criticized his head and face, but he pointed to his sore feet again, he really didn't understand the study of Jishi, and he didn't know where to start if he wanted to refute it.

Cai Xiang and Hu Su are outside, you say a word to me, it seems that Ouyang Xiu can't go out, they won't leave.

Ouyang Xiu sighed, looked at the eight words that he hung in the study when he came back that day, "With its faintness, it makes people visible", and shook his head. Mencius is Mencius, and after a thousand years, a sentence is still so overwhelming that people can't hold their heads up.

I don't understand it, but I still want people to understand, isn't this nonsense? If, if he can say one, two, three, four in the money law, Xu Ping can still say this about himself? It seems that we will really have to work on these ways to help the world in the future.

Tidying up his clothes, Ouyang Xiu walked out of the door and said to Cai Xiang and Hu Su: "The two of you have been waiting for a long time. ”

Cai Xiang smiled: "Usually you have the thickest skin, why can't you hang it so hard this time?" Let me tell you, Xu Zhizhi is not in the house, and he took people back to Zhuangzi in Zhongmu Township. We're going to meet in his house, and you don't have to worry about him calling you over to talk about it. There is scenery in the house, and there is wine and food, and Xu Chang and others in his family treat us with respect, where else can we find such a place in the capital? ”

Hu Su interjected on the side: "Speaking of which, Xu Zhizhi is really good to us pavilion personnel. If Uncle Yong hadn't said too much a few days ago, Xu Zhizhi wouldn't have been angry with you. ”

"Let's go, let's go, the ministers in the capital, except for Fan Zhizhi, it is Xu Zhizhi who is the best to speak. Uncle Yong, you will have a snack when you talk in the future, don't talk anything but brains! ”

Cai Xiang said as he pulled Ouyang Xiu towards the door.

Hearing this, Ouyang Xiu couldn't believe that it came out of Cai Xiang's mouth. I can't talk by myself, Cai Xiang is the least qualified to say this, okay? He is going from talking about things to talking about people, Cai Xiang is looking at who is not pleasing to the eye, and he sprays directly, and he is not even in the mood to put the facts and reason. In the past, Cai Xiang was by Ouyang Xiu's side, and he was always afraid that the world would not be chaotic, why did he change his personality this time, and he should pay attention when he speaks?

To say that among the pavilion officials at this time, Ouyang Xiu, who spoke ugly, was still not as good as Cai Xiang. Ouyang Xiu is good at writing, Cai Xiang is good at writing, and the two of them love to put on a shelf, which is the same. When the Empress Dowager Liu was still there, Cai Xiang had just been admitted to the Jinshi and wanted him to write a letter to make a screen in the palace, but Cai Xiang ignored it.

Ouyang Xiu is appreciated by nobles, Cai Xiang doesn't need it. Xianyou Cai's family is one of the few famous families in the south of the Yangtze River, and a few jinshi are no longer enough to describe their family, and there are countless officials in the court. Cai Xiang Guozi was the first to take the exam, and the tenth-place jinshi and the first in the nineteen-year-old palace exam, except that Ouyang Xiu was the provincial yuan, and he pressed Ouyang Xiu in both the release test and the palace test.

The two of them are the same arrogant, and they speak without scruples, and no one can say anything about this point. The difference is that Cai Xiang does not regard himself as a contemporary Han Yu, does not point out the country in academic thought, and does not cause trouble everywhere like Ouyang Xiu.

Whoever talks about himself, Ouyang Xiu feels that it is acceptable, this time he is indeed reckless. It's just that I never thought that even Cai Xiang, who can't speak and behave better than himself, can criticize himself?

What kind of world is this? I offended Xu Ping this time, how did I feel that everything around me had changed? (To be continued.) )
