The two parted again in disagreement.

The internal atmosphere of the three departments and regulations was somewhat depressing, and the argument between the two bigwigs had reached their ears.

Most of the people in the Regulations of the Three Divisions were Ouyang Bian in the same year, and many of them were Wang Anshi's students, such as Lu Huiqing and Zeng Bu, but they were not considered as a team. However, now Ouyang Bian does not want to withdraw from the Second Guarantee Law, and Wang Anshi wants to promulgate the Second Guarantee Law, so other people have to express their attitude.

Support Wang Anshi or Ouyang Bian?

This is a problem that everyone in the three departments has to face.

But something happened soon, which made them feel sad, but also felt relieved because there was no need to take sides.

Ouyang Xiu is seriously ill and almost dying!

After forcibly suppressing the great sadness, Ouyang Bian handed over the work, he quickly took leave and went home to take care of Ouyang Xiu.

Ouyang Xiu's sudden physical deterioration actually had symptoms. He has been unable to afford to get sick recently, but he just didn't expect it to be so suddenly.

As for Ouyang Xiu's condition will suddenly worsen, Ouyang Bian also speculated.

After several years, the fifty volumes of "The Collection of Lay Buddhists" were finally completed. While Ouyang Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, the last string in his heart also relaxed.

People are very strange. When they are working, they will be in good spirits and will not have too many problems in their bodies. Once they are completely relaxed, they will age very quickly and their bodies will often have problems.

In recent years, with the help of Ouyang Bian, Ouyang Xiu has compiled old works. In order not to delay future generations, each work compiled into the collection has been carefully reviewed and revised repeatedly. Often, one article has been dozens of days, and it has been difficult to decide.

He wrote a lot in his life, and he carefully wrote and kept striving for excellence. It is conceivable that most of the work was completed by some editors of the Song Dynasty Weekly, but even so, Ouyang Xiu often had no time to spare.

Ouyang Bian hurried to his home, and the three brothers Ouyang Fa, Ouyang Yi and Ouyang Fen were all here.

Ouyang Xiu was bedridden, and the doctor who Ouyang Bian asked him to tell him in advance, so Ouyang Bian called back his third brother Ouyang Fen, who was in Hedong. Ouyang Fa and Ouyang Yi were both in Bianjing, so there was no need to ask for leave on purpose.

Ouyang Bian quickly entered Ouyang Xiu's room. The three Ouyang Fa brothers quickly gave up their seats. Ouyang Fa said, "Young brother, come quickly, my father is waiting for you."

When Ouyang Bian heard this, tears suddenly came down. As soon as he heard this, he knew that Ouyang Xiu was already in his dying state.

Ouyang Xiu's face was bloodless, and his age spots were covered with his entire face. Ouyang Bian called out a few times before Ouyang Xiu opened his eyes slightly. Seeing that it was Ouyang Bian, Ouyang Xiu grinned: "My little monk is here."

Ouyang Bian burst into tears.

Ouyang Xiu held Ouyang Bian's hand in his cold hand and comforted him: "Little monk, this is the first time that my father saw you crying. When he was a child, you didn't like to cry or talk. At that time, my father thought you had a bad mind, but later he found out that you are actually very smart. Haha, we were all deceived by you."

Ouyang Xiu's voice was low, which means that the house was quiet, so that he could hear it clearly.

Ouyang Bianqiang nodded with laughter.

Ouyang Xiu smiled and said, "Okay, I should leave some last words for you, boss..."

Ouyang Fa hurriedly said, "Dad, you said."

Ouyang Xiu said: "You are the eldest brother. Although you are not very smart and your career is average, I recognize your father's moral character..."

Ouyang Fa looked ashamed, but his father was right. Compared to his third and youngest brothers, his mind was indeed not enough, or he did not focus on his career.

"...As the boss, you must always remember to maintain your family tradition. You must keep an eye on the family tradition of the Ouyang family!"

Ouyang Fa shouted: "Don't worry, Father, I will definitely be optimistic!"

Ouyang Xiu nodded and looked at Ouyang Yi, and suddenly sighed: "Second."

Ouyang Yi said: "Dad."

Ouyang Xiu sighed, "You loved to drink and have fun when you were a child. You have been fully focused on your body and mind over the years. Alas, you are not doing your job properly, but your father is not good at criticizing you. I didn't have a good start, either. Oh, just do it like this, just live the life you want."

Ouyang Yi also looked ashamed.

Ouyang Xiu looked at Ouyang Fen and showed some smiles on his face: "The third brother is so dark and strong, but he is almost the same as the youngest. Not bad. He has a promising future for the country to defend the border, but don't really treat yourself as a warrior."

Ouyang Li nodded quickly.

Finally, Ouyang Xiu looked at Ouyang Bian and his face turned rosy: "Boss, second and third, you all have to help the youngest in the future. It's not about anything in the career, but about not worrying about family affairs."

The three Ouyang Fa nodded quickly.

"...Younger, you have to take good care of your three brothers, and you have to take good care of your children and nephews in the future, and you have to find a future for them."

Ouyang Bian nodded and said, "Father, don't worry, the Ouyang family has so many industries. Even if they don't go to the official career, such a large industry will be enough for them to lose."

Ouyang Xiu nodded: "Just look at the arrangement. I just talk about your father. With you here, I don't have to worry too much about this family. You arranged your three brothers to start a family and start a business, and your nephews' study and other things. You are also worried about your father. I always instruct you to do this and that... Haha."

Ouyang Xiu smiled mockingly.

Ouyang Bian said: "Dad, don't say that. Isn't it okay for the father to instruct his son to do work?"

Ouyang Xiu couldn't help laughing: "If someone asked me what I am most proud of in my life, I would definitely not think it was a reform literary style, a high-ranking minister, a sect leader of the literary world, or something like that, but I gave birth to a son named Ouyang Bian."

Ouyang Bian was amused and crying.

The three Ouyang Fa brothers smiled bitterly.

Sure enough, my father is still the same father, and he is still so partial to his younger brother after he is here.

Ouyang Xiu glanced at the three brothers of Ouyang Fa and snorted: "Don't be dissatisfied with you three. I really told you three, is my care for the little monk wrong?"

Ouyang Fa's third brother Ku looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes, but to be honest, there was no such thing, because the three brothers also particularly liked their younger brothers.

Putting aside the career and money, although Ouyang Bian has always been flirting with them since childhood, it has always caused them to be beaten by Ouyang Xiu and his wife, but Ouyang Bian understands their thoughts. Whether it is their hobbies or some secret thoughts, Ouyang Bian can always take good care of himself, speak nicely, and take care of their feelings. Who wouldn’t like such a younger brother?
