The 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, the Little New Year.

Chengyuan welcomed a group of guests.

The leaders in the industry were Ouyang Xiu, Song Qi, Fan Zhen, Lu Xiaqing, Wang Chou, Song Minqiu, Liu Xisou and others. As the boss, Ouyang Bian naturally had to be with him.

Song Qifanzhen and others were very curious about Ouyang Bian. This curiosity was naturally because of Ouyang Bian's water tune songs, and Ouyang Xiu would occasionally brag about how smart his youngest son was, so these colleagues were familiar with Ouyang Bian.

Ouyang Bin attached great importance to the visit of the guests this time and took them to Chengyuan in person.

Chengyuan was originally a typical northern style from the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, but after Ouyang Bian's transformation, it changed into a new look, which surprised the visitors.

The style of Ouyang Bian's transformation was the style of Jiangnan garden style in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Originally, it was difficult to have the conditions for this style in the north. Because the north lacks water, the biggest problem with the transformation into a southern garden is living water. However, Chengyuan is right next to the Bian River, so it is not difficult to divert water into the garden, which made Ouyang Bian's idea a reality.

After the renovation, the Chengyuan, not to mention the small bridges and flowing water inside have a Jiangnan style, just like this architectural style, Ouyang Bin has done a lot of work.

Most of the northern gardens are grand. Although they dare not use yellow tiles and red walls in violation of the rules, gold painting and Don Juan are indispensable, while the style of Chengyuan is blue bricks and gray tiles, and the original color of the wood is elegant and solemn, simple and moderate. It can be imagined for the attractiveness of these literati.

Fan Zhen and others praised him, and even Ouyang Xiu couldn't help but look at his youngest son, and deeply admired his youngest son's wonderful ideas.

The Jiangnan garden, which is quite in line with the aesthetics of literati, made these people excited about poetry. Several people wrote a few poems on the spot, and some of them were quite skillful. Ouyang Xiu also reluctantly wrote an ancient essay under Ouyang Bian's crazy hint. His literary talent was profound, but his expression seemed to be forced to open business.

Ouyang Bin shook his head and sighed, saying that he was very unscrupulous to his father's behavior.

Ouyang Bin wanted to set up a high-end restaurant, so naturally he could not have only one hot pot. He not only introduced stir-frying, but also brought in milk tea, barbecue, etc. If it weren't for the current transportation difficulties, he even wanted to bring in seafood.

The scenery is pleasant, the food is exquisite, and the people are smiling and laughing. It is a perfect party. The party produced several poems and articles, which even raised the party to a historical banquet.

Ouyang Bian secretly found a famous painting master in Bianjing, drew these banquet scenes, and recorded their poems. At that time, they hung them in conspicuous places to show the high standards of Chengyuan. How can this business not flourish and bring wealth to you?

Tsk, when it comes to business intelligence, Ouyang Bin thinks he is really great.

Fan Zhen and others rushed to Ouyang Bin and wrote poems, but Ouyang Bin politely refused. Such propositional essays are not suitable for him, after all, plagiarism must be done with the situation, right?

The development of Chengyuan has begun to show results, and Ouyang Bian also has many plans. He plans to promote more in the city and mobilize his network resources so that more people can know about it.

Ouyang Bin is very confident. As long as they come once, they will definitely want to come again. After all, there are no complaints except a little farther away, and there are many advantages. For these nobles, this is definitely not a disadvantage.

As for the inconvenience of transportation, it is inconvenient for some invited guests, Ouyang Bin even purchased several luxury cars, specifically used to pick up and drop off customers, if the host feels it is necessary to entertain the host.

By taking a multi-pronged approach, Ouyang Bian thought that there was nothing that could not be done in Chengyuan. After sending away the top literati from the Song Dynasty who was studying history, he turned his attention to teacher Wang Anshi.

"Teacher, please tell me, let me put the banquet location of your group club's end-of-year banquet in our Chengyuan. Where to go to eat and drink, it's not about eating and drinking. My place has beautiful scenery and exquisite food. The key is that I'm discounting it!..."

After listening to Wang Anshi's lecture, Ouyang Bian pestered Wang Anshi and kept talking nonstop. Wang Anshi looked impatient, and the rattan in his hand was loose and loose.

"Little monk, don't be so obsessed with money, okay? You are a scholar. If you want to do business, I won't stop you, but don't be so obsessed with it. Studying is the most important thing!" Wang Anshi said bitterly.

Ouyang Bin said seriously: "Teacher, do you still remember the four sentences I said?"

"... Establish a mind for the heaven and earth, establish a life for the people, inherit the unique knowledge for the past saints, and create peace for all ages?... Words are good words, but what does this have to do with you being so obsessed with money?"

Wang Anshi said in confusion.

Ouyang Bin took out a manuscript from his bag and patted it in his hand: "Look, look, I'm not doing business, I'm practicing in society. If I weren't doing business, I wouldn't understand these principles!"

Wang Anshi's face was happy: "Has the National Wealth Theory been written?"

He reached out and was about to come and pick it up. Ouyang Bin collected the book back and sighed, "How can it be so fast? This is just some ideas I have sorted out. Although it is not impossible to have the publishing industry, I finally feel that it is still a short time to ignite..."

Wang Anshi looked at Ouyang Bian's face carefully, which clearly stated - I want to see, agree to my request!

A rebellious disciple!

Wang Anshi sighed in his heart, and suddenly remembered that when he and Ouyang Xiu mentioned that they wanted to accept Ouyang as their disciple, Ouyang Xiu looked embarrassed.

At that time, he thought that Ouyang Xiu looked down on him. Later, after becoming a disciple, Ouyang Xiu told him the truth: "I am so smart and have a wide range of knowledge, but I am quite annoying. You have to bear it in the future."

At that time, Wang Anshi laughed. How annoying can a five or six-year-old child be? It’s just a small destruction. If you are angry, just use a rattan to reason. Why is it so difficult? Haha, how can you be so devastated by a kind father!

Now that I think about it, I am naive.

Wang Anshi tried hard to manage his expression, muttering in his heart: "For the general's way, we should first cure our hearts. Mountains of Tai collapsed before their colors remained unchanged, and deer rose to their left without looking instantly. Then they could control their interests and wait for the enemy... Hey, whose article is this? It seems that there was a guy named Su Xun in Sichuan, which makes sense."

After a psychological construction, Wang Anshi lifted the rattan, and Ouyang Bian quickly withdrew five meters away, threw the manuscript from afar, shouting: "Teacher, gentleman doesn't do anything, I'll give you the manuscript. My mother told me to go back early tonight for dinner, I have to leave!"

After Ouyang Bin finished speaking, he wanted to apply oil to the soles of his feet and ran away.

Wang Anshi was angry and said angrily: "Don't rush to run. I'll read this book first. I'll help you ask about your affairs, but don't give me too much hope. Lord Bao is not that easy to talk to!"

Ouyang Bin was overjoyed, but his steps did not stop. He hurriedly turned around and bowed, and then disappeared outside the door. At this time, the voice came: "Then thank you teacher, I love you..."

Wang Anshi: “…”

Wang Anshi couldn't help but feel a little regretful - he was so clever, he originally wanted to take the opportunity to draw him a few vines.
