Ouyang Xiu hasn't seen his eldest daughter for almost three years. For the sake of the eldest daughter, even the eldest son has a great opinion on him and it is rare to go home once a year. Ouyang Xiu was extremely regretful, but he never admitted it. No student is allowed to talk about his eldest daughter Ouyang Qian or Fan Ning, otherwise he would be furious.

However, after his wife Xue received some money from Fan Ning, her family became much more prosperous. She has not bothered her husband in the past two years. Ouyang Xiu usually went to the History Museum to attend court and trained some students. His life was very calm and his eyesight gradually recovered. He could barely see the words when he put them in front of him.

But in the past two days, Ouyang Xiu's heart was a little confused. Yesterday the emperor summoned him and asked him about a lot of things, praised him for having a good son-in-law, and hinted that he was going to be promoted to a direct bachelor of Longtu Pavilion. This undoubtedly caused a huge uproar in Ouyang Xiu's heart.

Ouyang Xiu is currently a fourth-rank official, and because of his poor eyesight, he has been compiling classics in the History Museum. This fourth-rank official has troubled him for nearly ten years and has not been able to break through. Just when he was no longer hopeful, the emperor suddenly hinted that he would be promoted to a direct scholar from the third-rank Longtu Pavilion, which made him overjoyed.

However, what made Ouyang Xiu sleepless all night last night was not because he was promoted, but because the emperor spent most of his time talking to him about Fan Ning, which made Ouyang Xiu feel very uncomfortable.

Although Ouyang Xiu did not allow others to mention Fan Ning in front of him, it did not mean that he did not understand Fan Ning's situation. Fan Ning returned to his hometown and returned to serve as the prefect of Yingtian and the pacification envoy of Jingdong Road. He fought with Zhang Yaozuo again. Zhao Zhongzhen took office. He served as the secretary of the Eastern Palace. He was only 25 years old and was already a second-rank county minister. He became a third-rank silver and green Guanglu doctor. According to this trend, it is a foregone conclusion that he would become a prime minister before the age of 35.

In fact, Ouyang Xiu was very satisfied with Fan Ning's son-in-law and was excellent in all aspects. Although he could not inherit his literary talent, no one could match his career in the official career. It's a pity that his daughter did not marry him as a wife, which made Ouyang Xiu's heart full of regrets and hatred.

But when the emperor told himself that Taichang Temple was preparing to grant his daughter the imperial edict as a third-class Sutra, Ouyang Xiu immediately understood that it was the emperor who was persuading peace.

For a moment, Ouyang Xiu's heart was in a mess.

This morning, Ouyang Xiu finally made up his mind to make peace with his eldest daughter. Fan Ning could not see him for the time being, but he wanted to meet his daughter and granddaughter he had never met.

In the room, Ouyang Xiu wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes with a scarf. He was still immersed in the joy and sadness of reuniting with his daughter.

He didn't meet his daughter for long, but his daughter knelt down and called him Daddy. Ouyang Xiu burst into tears. The years of dissatisfaction and resentment disappeared at that moment. The lively and cute granddaughter made Ouyang Xiu like it very much. He even gave his poems and manuscripts to his granddaughter as a meeting gift.

At this time, the sound of his wife's footsteps came from outside. Ouyang Xiu quickly wiped the tears clean. He was very cautious about his wife Xue and did not want her to grasp his weakness.

Last year, Ouyang Xiu secretly gave his eldest son some rental subsidy, but was discovered by Xue. He had a big argument with him in front of many students, which made Ouyang Xiu completely cold to her. If she hadn't been the mother of his four children, she would have divorced her long ago.

"Master, they are gone!"

Xue walked in with a smile on her face. Her attitude towards Ouyang Qian was no longer as cold and hostile as before. On the contrary, she flattered herself in every way and praised Ouyang Qian's daughter Fan Zhener like a fairy, as if something had never happened before.

Ouyang Xiu understood what she wanted, picked up the Sanqian Guanzi from the table and handed it to her, "Take it! What A Qian gave it to me, you can use it to subsidize the household income."

Xue quickly took the money and smiled and said, "That Mrs. Zhu is so generous! She gave her a gift of 1,000 yuan for the first time when she came to her house. Especially when she was close to A Qian like her sisters, I have seen so many of them. Few women understand things as reasonably as her. It is really a blessing for A Qian to meet her."

Seeing her husband's expressionless face, she tentatively said: "Mrs. Zhu hopes that Aunt Fan can come to see the master. When does the master think it's appropriate?"

Ouyang Xiu knew his wife so well. She was so enthusiastic about Fanning coming to the door, but Fanning was profitable. Ouyang Xiu said lightly: "It's not the time yet, wait and talk about it!"

Xue was a little unwilling to accept it and said, "I heard from Mrs. Zhu that Aunt Fan is going to buy a manor outside the city to give it to her daughter. Master, that's..."

Before she could finish her words, Ouyang Xiu interrupted her coldly, "The child's surname is Fan, but not Ouyang, don't make this idea."

"But that's a manor! Where will we move after the master retires from office?"

Ouyang Xiu glanced at her and said lightly: "This house is no longer an official house, the official family has given me."

Xue widened her eyes, "You didn't lie to me! When did this happen?"

"Yesterday morning, when the official summoned me, he officially gave it to me. In two days, someone will send the house deed and land deeds."

Xue shouted excitedly and hugged her husband, "I'm just saying it! We finally have time to do it. You have been promoted and you have a house. Your daughter is back, thanks to you having a good son-in-law!"

Ouyang Xiu pushed her away. Although she was right, it was because of Fanning that he was working, but this sentence changed completely from his wife's mouth, which made him feel deeply disgusted.

He said calmly: "I know Dalang can't get this house. With you there, it must be for Erlang to inherit it. But I want to say some things in front of it. My ancestral home in my hometown is for Dalang. In addition, I give Dalang ten-min money to housing subsidy every month, you have no objection!"

Of course, Xue had no objection. This five-acre inner city house is worth at least 30,000 guan. How much subsidy can be obtained? More than 100 guan a year and only more than 1,000 guan in ten years is not comparable at all. As for the ancestral home, it is not worth anything at all, and she has never taken it to heart.

She repeatedly said, "Yes! Yes! It's totally up to you."

"You go! Let me be quiet for a while."

Xue was extremely excited. She wanted to find the housekeeper to show off this matter, so she turned around and left.

Ouyang Xiu heard her footsteps go away, and then took out an envelope from the drawer. It contained a house deed and land deed. This was also given to him by his daughter. It was a three-acre house located in Dongwaicheng.

This small house was the yard that Fan Ning bought for Ouyang Qian. Later, Fan Tiege bought two pieces of land in the yard and expanded it into a three-acre small house. It was Ouyang Qian's private property. Ouyang Qian wanted to give it to her brother Ouyang Hua who rented a house in the capital, but Ouyang Hua refused to ask for it, so Ouyang Qian planned to transfer it to her elder brother through her father.

Of course Ouyang Xiu would not let his wife know about this small house. His house could only be given to his second son. What should he do if his eldest son? He is now a small eighth-rank official, and he can't afford the house in the capital with his salary. Ouyang Xiu didn't want to be wronged by his eldest son. As soon as his daughter gave him this small house, he could finally comfort his eldest son.

My daughter is still caring!

Ouyang Xiu never felt that his daughter was so considerate and filial as he is now.

At night, the clouds and rain in the Hongluan tent had just stopped, and Ouyang Qian leaned in her husband's arms and whispered: "Husband, I am really happy today, and I have never been as happy as I am today."

Ouyang Qianheng's knot in her heart was finally untied. She reconciled with her father, which made her very happy. This meant that her father finally accepted the fact that she married Fanning.

Fan Ning was funny in his heart. When Zi was a peacemaker himself today, how could Ouyang Xiu not give this face?

"Then when will I come to see my father-in-law?"

"Should you wait!"

Ouyang Qian apologized: "Give dad some time. I want to go to greet dad during the New Year, so it will be natural."

"Of course I have no objection, just because I am afraid that your stepmother will be anxious and force your father to see me."

Ouyang Qian snorted disdainfully and said, "She wishes you would come to the door tomorrow because you will definitely not be empty-handed when you come to the door, but I don't like her. I will tell my father in a few days that our family will go to greet him during the New Year."

Speaking of not being empty-handed when he came to the door, Fanning remembered something and said with a smile: "Why did your father give the manuscript to Zhen'er? Are you not afraid that she will tear it down?"

Ouyang Qian glanced at her husband coquettishly, "Where is it for Zhen'er, it is clearly for you. Don't you understand?"
