Chapter 37 It's not that he relies on us, but we rely on him!

The sister-in-law's faces became very ugly.

But Ouyang Bian continued: "The Ouyang family is a scholarly family, and its competitiveness is not inferior to any family. As long as the descendants study hard, they will never be inferior to any family.

My plan is like this. The Ouyang family will not become a royal family, but I will not impose any restrictions on the children of the Ouyang family. Things such as the fact that the children of the royal family cannot hold actual positions will not happen.

Therefore, the children of the Ouyang family will have greater freedom. As long as you have the ability, the Grand Marshal should be the Prime Minister.

Sister-in-law, don’t be angry. In fact, this way, we have more advantages. Although we do not have so-called privileges, we still have privileges after all. As long as we get well in the exam, we will be smooth sailing into the officialdom. It doesn’t matter if we have a poor ability. Don’t be able to go up without any mistakes. If you have outstanding abilities, it is natural to become a high-ranking official.

The Ouyang family wants to become a noble family, not a royal family. I have only heard of a thousand-year-old family. Where can there be a thousand-year-old dynasty? Brothers and sisters-in-law, do you think so?"

After hearing what Ouyang Bian said, the sister-in-law had nothing to refute, but Ouyang Fa and his brothers agreed.

That's all.

After several brothers and sisters-in-law left, Fu Jianjia also came back.

"Have you agreed with uncles?" Fu Jianjia asked, with a worried look on her face.

Ouyang Bian gently stroked his wife's hair. After so many years, Fu Jianjia looked a little richer, but she was still so beautiful.

"Yes, it's been a temporary perfunctory."

Ouyang Bian shook his head with a wry smile.

Fu Jianjia said puzzledly: "Actually, no one has opposed this matter, right?"

Ouyang Bian nodded: "Of course, this is what the question is, but I want to make a more thorough reform. I want to try it out. I am still young and I still have a lot of time to change, so there is no need to rush for a moment.

As for brothers and sisters-in-law, they can only do this for the time being. However, I am not kidding about the problem of children and nephews. They have to study hard and become the higher officials as they have. If they fail to study, it is not bad to be a wealthy and idle person."

"Then the aristocratic family you mentioned?"

Ouyang Bian smiled and said, "This is true. Look at the Qian family of Wu Yue, isn't it a good example? The royal family has fallen the fastest, but the oldest one is passed down through poetry and books. The Ouyang family should encourage reading. As long as you read well, it will not be bad. Instead, it may be passed down for thousands of years.

But the royal family is not good. When the dynasty changes, the direct lineage is likely to be destroyed by clans. The so-called evil committed by ancestors will have to be repaid in the last generation. Why is that necessary?"

Fu Jianjia nodded in approval.

...

The homes of Ouyang Fa and his brothers were nearby, and they were all homes of wealthy families. Because they were afraid that Xia Jun would catch them, they ran away early, so they were used to resettle officials.

When he returned home, Ouyang Fa and his wife Wu changed their clothes and prepared to fall asleep, but Wu began to complain.

"Why are you talking about Uncle Yao like this? This is obviously a chance for the whole world to ascend to heaven. Why does he insist on suppressing us? When he was young, I didn't treat him badly. How nice I treat him, and our children are very kind to him. Every time I see him, they belong to Uncle Yao, why is he so cruel?

I said you want to talk about him, he is so good to outsiders, and he is so mean to you brothers. Look at Su Zhe and Zhang Dun, one by one, you call the wind and rain, and your brothers sit on the bench. Uncle San is pretty good. You can go to the Ministry of War, you and the second uncle, one is reading old books in the museum, and the other is a mud-legged person in the Ministry of Works. You said..."

"Shut up!"

Ouyang Fa, who was about to lie down, was annoyed by his wife's rhyme and scolded him loudly.

Wu was startled, then lowered his head and started crying, and cursed while crying: "You have no conscience, your Ouyang family has no conscience!

People say that your wife is noble by your husband, and you are still the eldest son of your father-in-law and your father-in-law is the prime minister, but I have been with you for so many years, but I have not enjoyed any glory.

When my father-in-law was there, you said you could not ruin my father-in-law's reputation and asked me to act in a low-key manner. Your official position has always been these cold-headed father-in-law and didn't care.

Look at Uncle Yao, this is simply a success and has become the youngest priest in the Song Dynasty. And you, who have been dead for so many years, don’t dare to speak loudly with other officials!

Later, we were dragged down by Uncle Yao, forcing us to escape from Bianjing City. We were displaced. Uncle Yao finally became the emperor and thought that a good life was coming, but now we don’t even give him a title to the prince, so we still asked you to sit on the bench. Do you think that brothers are so mean?

What a thousand-year-old family is, but he just doesn't do it, he just wants to make his own reputation!"

Wu was still waiting to talk, but when he saw her husband, who was usually a nerdy person, standing in front of her and looking at her with gritted teeth, Wu was shocked.

Ouyang Fa took a deep breath and tried not to let his anger ejaculate. He took the cold tea on the table and drank it in one sip. He drank the cold tea, which allowed him to have the ability to think again.

"I'll tell you this truth tonight, listen carefully to me..."

Ouyang's voice was still so gentle, but Wu heard the anger contained in it. Wu, who had always been the leader at home, was a little scared.

"...Young brother has today, it depends on himself, and we have today, it depends on my younger brother. Can you understand this sentence?"

Wu didn't speak.

Ouyang Fa continued: "...I took us from Yingzhou to Bianjing City. Our family of six could only live in my uncle's house. Later, my father planned to rent a broken yard in the alley. He was poor at that time.

But at this time, my youngest brother, who was only eight years old, opened a milk tea shop, a restaurant, and did various businesses, so that we brothers could live a very good life.

Later, the yard we got married was given by my younger brother. After marriage, if my younger brother hadn’t given the land or the shop, would we live so well?

What did we do for our youngest brother?

You said that my father helped my younger brother but not me, haha, you completely messed up the cause and effect. My father once secretly told me that his promotion was largely because of my younger brother's young age.

The youngest brother made a lot of contributions and made great contributions. Emperor Renzong put great expectations on his younger brother and was unwilling to help him grow. Therefore, he added all the contributions to his father. It was our father who used his younger brother's glory, not his father to support his younger brother.

As for the youngest brother who can become the youngest priest in the Song Dynasty, haha, who can be the priest who you are?

The youngest brother is the top scholar, and his abilities are top-notch. Among the many smart people on the second year of Jiayou, he can surpass all the heroes. Look, Zhang Dun, Wang Shao, Su Zhe, Zheng Yong, Liang Tao, Lu Huiqing, Lin Xi, Zeng Bu, Zhang Yu, Su Shi, etc., who are not among the people, but they can only surrender to the youngest brother. Did you pick up the position of emperor as the youngest brother?

My youngest brother pretended to die and came to Daxia, defeated the Liang family, and made Li Bingchang abdicate willingly. Now he defeated the Song Dynasty and occupied such a large land of six roads in Shaanxi. Do you think these are all picked up?

If you don’t have the ability and talent of the great master, these things will fall from the sky?

In short, you have to remember that the youngest brother has never received any benefits from us, and our ability to have today’s good days is all because of the youngest brother. He will bear it if he is willing to give it to us. If he doesn’t want to give it to us, don’t say anything!”

Wu lowered his head and refused to speak.

Ouyang sighed.

"As for Yan'er and the others... they are still capable of studying, and they can take the imperial examination in almost two years. I ask someone to give them special training. It is not difficult to get a Jinshi. If you can't get a Jinshi in the Song Dynasty, can't get a test in Daxia?

As long as they get the Jinshi exam, even if I don’t want this old face, I will still have a good future for them. My youngest brother said that he would not stop him.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, what your younger brother said is still right. If the royal family really becomes a royal family and the royal family generally does not allow them to participate in politics, then if they all raise them, they will become waste.

On the contrary, like this, everyone has to work hard to pass on poetry and books. With such a good foundation, it is not difficult for the Ouyang family to become a noble family...madam!"

Ouyang Fa seemed to remember something, and suddenly shouted loudly, which scared Wu again.

"You're going to die, scare me."

Ouyang Fa's face was excited: "I know what to do!"

Wu said curiously: "What do you want to do?"

Ouyang Fa clenched his fists and said loudly: "From the generation of grandfather, the Ouyang family has been passed down from poetry and books. In the generation of fathers, they are even better than the generation.

In our generation, my younger brother has completed his transformation.

But our Ouyang family has not yet formed its own family tradition and family tradition. To become a thousand-year-old family, it must have consistent family tradition and family tradition.

My youngest brother is worried about the world and has no mind on it. As my father’s eldest son, I have to take on this matter!

My interest has always been in the ancient music theory of Zhonglu. I have also studied family traditions, institutions and cultural relics, astronomy, geography, etc. in previous dynasties, and I have actually studied family traditions and family precepts.

I should give full play to my advantages in this regard and establish a family tradition and family motto for the Ouyang family. In this way, even if the Ouyang family is not a royal family, they can truly become a noble family for thousands of years!"

Wu hesitated and said, "Is this necessary?"

Ouyang waved his fist: "Of course it is necessary! From today on, I will sort out the family tradition and family motto, and strictly require the Ouyang family's nephews. If they dare not listen, they will arrest them one by one and hit the board, hehe!"

Wu: “…”
Chapter completed!
