Chapter 18 Mid-Autumn Festival
Ouyang Xiu is still busy.
I was busy with researching before, but now I am busy with historical research.
The four Ouyang Bian brothers are also busy.
On the one hand, my daily studies are already quite busy, and I have their own interests and hobbies.
In addition to being busy with his studies, Ouyang Fa was busy with his studies and buried his head in the pile of books given to him by Ouyang Bian.
Ouyang Yi buried his head in his set of joy.
Ouyang Bian didn't know what was fun, he really didn't understand the world of otaku.
Ouyang Yi was the cat owner who served him.
Humph, a cat slave without self-esteem!
Humble and lowly!
In addition to taking care of the whole family's food, clothing, housing and transportation, Mrs. Xue also had to take care of the flowers and plants in the courtyard.
Anyway, it's very busy, but everyone enjoys it.
Ouyang Bian follows his brothers to school every day, and after school, he pays attention to the matters in the ice room.
The ice room has been opened one after another, and I was a little busy in the early stage, mainly because the staff are not familiar with it, but after the strengthened training, it is much better.
Xu Fu is indeed a business genius. The shops he bought were either in the tram or in the fireworks and willow alleys, and were all rich and leisurely.
Especially the young ladies in Fireworks Alley, 500 cents are really nothing to them, and the sluts are happy to win the hearts of beautiful women with a cup of milk tea.
Although the business of these stores is good, there is no way to compare with the Daxiangguo Temple. The traffic of Daxiangguo Temple is not comparable to that of other places.
The early investment will take some time to recover, but this time will not be too long.
Ouyang Bian’s daily job is to check the statement and then wait to collect the money.
Ouyang Bian was satisfied. This is the correct way for time travelers to open it!
In the busy life, the festive atmosphere gradually became stronger.
Ouyang Bian then woke up in shock - the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming.
The day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Ouyang Bian was awakened by the noise outside early in the morning.
When I got up, I found that Xu Fu sent many kinds of food, such as crabs, pomegranates, pears, dates, oranges, etc.
Near noon, Zhang Qi sent someone to deliver a batch of good wine.
There are both aged wine and new wine.
Among them are Liuke Hall produced in Huzhou, Qiyun Qinglu and Shuangrui produced in Suzhou, all of which are famous wines.
Ouyang Bian curled his lips. All these were the only ones to be cheaper than that old drunkard Ouyang Xiu. He was a gentleman in his previous life, but now he is definitely not able to drink.
It was about to celebrate the festival, and Ouyang Bian could not be idle either. He asked Xu Fu to find someone and made some decorations for the family to adapt to the situation.
However, Ouyang Bian was staring at Ouyang Xiu, thinking about following Ouyang Xiu to see the gathering of literati in this era.
In the past, the specifications were still a little worse in Yingzhou, and Bianjing was the cultural center of the Song Dynasty.
People here can play!
Sure enough, after Ouyang Bian's soft and hard work, Ouyang Xiu agreed to take him there, but his face was a little unnatural.
Ouyang Bian smiled sneeringly.
These old porns.
For the scholars and officials of the Song Dynasty, visiting brothels was not something that people were ashamed of, but a very common phenomenon.
Of course, officials like Ouyang Xiu would not go to brothels blatantly, but there are many women who are invited to sing and perform at the banquets.
If it is a more private banquet, there will be some scenes that are not suitable for children. Just like men in later generations go to nightclubs, there is no difference between ancient and modern times.
To be honest, no matter how romantic a man is, it is still a bit unnatural to take his son with him.
Fortunately, I went to a serious place this time.
The banquet was held by Ouyang Xiu's teacher Yan Shu. Ouyang Xiu and Yan Shu had a very good relationship, but this time it was probably Ouyang Xiu was away for many years, and the distance was beautiful, so the relationship between the master and the apprentice has been somewhat eased.
Yan Shu originally took office in Henan Prefecture, but at the beginning of the year he returned to Beijing to treat his illness.
The weather got a little cooler and his body was getting better. Yan Shu felt that he had no time and everyone he wanted to meet wanted to invite him to meet, so the scale of this banquet was quite large.
Ouyang Xiu, Song Qi, Han Qi, Wang Gongchen, Prime Minister Liu Han, Fan Zhen, Wang Chou, Song Minqiu, Lu Xiaqing, Wang Yaochen and others all came, and there were many other officials.
After all, Yan Shu was the former prime minister, and he was willing to reward talents. The famous scholars of the world, such as Fan Zhongyan, Kong Daofu, Wang Anshi, etc., all came from his disciples;
Han Qi, Ouyang Xiu and others were all cultivated and recommended by him, and they were all reused.
He also knows Fu Bi in the cold and marrys his daughter to him.
When Yan Shu was in power, Fan Zhongyan, Han Qi and Fu Bi were all valued, and the Tai Pavilion had more talented people.
Such people hold banquets, and the invited people will only treat them as glory and will not be absent.
Ouyang Bian put on the new clothes that Xue had prepared for him and followed Ouyang Xiu to attend the banquet with a gaze.
In the carriage, Ouyang Xiu taught me: "After going, you must be polite, be sweeter, and don't look lazy.
Don’t say anything strange about not liking to study, otherwise I won’t take you there next time.
You are also a child who is about to grow up, you have to learn to…”
Speaking of this, Ouyang Xiu suddenly stopped and suddenly remembered that his youngest son was not an ordinary child.
According to his current business, he has accumulated over a year or two, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a wealthy businessman.
The methods of controlling his subordinates are very familiar. He was told to keep his teeth like a sperm, and he often asked for advice early and evening.
"...Hey, don't make trouble anyway."
Ouyang Xiu was a little depressed.
It is a good thing for a young man to have a future, but it also lacks a lot of fun in tutoring his son.
My youngest son was very good, and he was stupid every day, but why did he change when he came to Bianjing?
Ouyang Bianxi smiled: "Don't worry, I used to just eat and drink and not delay things."
Ouyang Xiu laughed: "You have to be polite."
"I know, I know!"
Ouyang Bian looked at the bustling streets greedily.
Although the clothes and clothing are different, the urban temperament of the residents in Bianjing is too similar to those of later generations.
This made him feel very intimate, as if he had returned to the later era, which was something that could not be compared to in Yingzhou.
The Song Dynasty was the dynasty that loved to celebrate the most. It had more than 70 festivals a year. There were always holidays on holidays, ranging from six to seven days to two to three days. There were two days of holidays on the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The Tokyo Dream Lianglu described the events of the Northern Song Dynasty Mid-Autumn Festival:
"On the 15th of August, the Mid-Autumn Festival, the moonlight on this night is brighter than normal, and it is also called the moonlight.
At this time, the golden wind is refreshing, the jade dew turns cool, the olive fragrance floats, and the silver toad is full of light.
The princes and grandsons, rich families, all of them climbed the dangerous building, played in the moon, or climbed the wide pavilion, listing the tortoise banquets, zithered zithers, drinking wine and singing, and enjoying the joy of the evening."
Alas, this is the Song Dynasty.
Ouyang Bian is simply fascinated by this era.
When it comes to playing, the Song people are unique.
Ouyang Bian exclaimed.
