"Mingtang...... Mingtang, please stay! ”

Diao Xiancheng chased him out, and finally stopped someone who was resolute.

"What do you command?"

"Don't dare to be a ......"

Diao Xiancheng panted, helped his crooked official hat, and said helplessly:

"How can you let Mingtang spend money on a treat, Mingtang came all the way to Longcheng to take up his post, and the local squires should have done their best to be landlords, let them invite them, how can they bother Mingtang."

Ouyang Rong thought for a moment and asked, "You mean I'm a guest?" Are they the Lord? ”

"Right...... No, it isn't. Diao Xiancheng hurriedly waved his hand, "The lower official said that the squires and elders greeted their parents, this is the fine tradition of this county, and the previous county orders all followed this process, and Mingtang didn't need to be so polite, and paid out of his own pocket......"

Ouyang Rong shook his head, "I'm not polite at all, just let them not be too polite." ”

He looked at Diao Xiancheng, who had a look in his eyes, and said softly:

"Actually, I don't hide it, this time I invite everyone to eat in Yuanming Building, in addition to wanting to know all the sages of the country, there is also a thing for the country and the people... For their business. ”

"Mingtang is talking about ......"

"That's right, the official will hold a water conservancy fundraiser after the banquet that day, and the official will take the lead in donating grain."

Diao County Cheng wanted to speak and stopped.

Ouyang Rong's face was calm and said:

"You also saw the official document sent by Jiang Zhou that day and the advice of the imperial court, and the official also thought about it for a few days.

"At present, the food for disaster relief is generally sufficient, and with the 3,000 stone of rice brought from Jiangzhou in the future, it is not a problem to maintain the stability of the 24 disaster relief camps on the outskirts of the city for three months......

"But now there is an urgent matter in front of us - the water conservancy project, including the Di Gong Gate, must be built as soon as possible, otherwise the flood in the rainy season expected by the official will be another tragedy in Dragon City.

"Lord Diao, this matter is by no means just a matter of the tens of thousands of disaster victims on the outskirts of the city, but a matter of the safety of everyone inside and outside Dragon City. You are the county prince of Longcheng, the oldest in the yazhong, and you are more familiar with the squires and rich people in the county, you go to clarify these interests for the official, and tell them the difficulties of the court and Jiangzhou. ”

Diao County Cheng sighed, "Mingtang really did his best for the people of Longcheng. ”

"It's just a matter of duty."

Diao Xiancheng hesitated, and couldn't help but remind: "Mingtang, the suggestion that the official gave you that day, in fact, you can also consider it...... It's not impossible to hold a fundraising banquet, but if you want to have a good fundraising effect, it's best for Mingtang to have a separate banquet for the Liu family before that, and discuss it well......"

Ouyang Rong suddenly interrupted: "Lord Diao has a good relationship with the Liu family? Speak for them all the time. ”

Diao County Cheng Zhengse said: "Mingtang misunderstood, the lower official didn't speak for the Liu family, but for the sake of Mingtang, so he made these shallow suggestions." ”

Ouyang Rong looked at him for a while before he nodded and said:

"Thank you, Lord Diao, no need. This fundraising banquet will be open to all the squires and wealthy businessmen in Longcheng County, and the official is not asking for food, but is sincere and sincere.

"You go and tell them about the tax benefits after the fundraising mentioned in the official documents of the imperial court, although the official is stubborn, he is not an unkind person, and he will implement it as appropriate, as long as they actively raise donations...... In this ruthless natural disaster, we officials and the people are united and will be able to get through the time together, and this is not a matter of one family. ”

In the last sentence, Ouyang Rong glanced at Diao Xiancheng meaningfully, turned around and left.

Diao Xiancheng sighed, looked at his back and said:

"Xiaguan...... Compliance. ”

……

Just when Diao County Cheng went from house to house in Longcheng County to contact the squires and convey the invitations and promises of the young county order one by one.

Ouyang Rong silently walked into the office of the official office and checked the county's financial and tax account books over the years.

He had already arranged the affairs of today's disaster relief camp in advance yesterday, so he could go later today and come to the county government office to do something more important.

The young county magistrate dismissed the respectful scribes on the side, sat alone in the small room, and quietly flipped through the pages.

When Xie Lingjiang came looking for a two-layer locket, Ouyang Rong was still looking down and checking it carefully.

"Senior brother."

"Hmm."

"I brought you some pastries, Aunt Zhen asked me to bring them."

"Okay."

Seeing that he was still concentrating on the official document without raising his head, Xie Lingjiang quieted down, put down the pastry box, sat on the side and waited to get up, during which he looked at someone from time to time.

Xie Lingjiang has always felt that men look better when they are serious and focused, and her father is like this.

After a while, Ouyang Rong temporarily closed the book, kneading the bridge of his nose with two fingers, and looked up to look at the white clouds and blue sky outside the door to relieve his tiredness, but the little junior sister suddenly stood up, handed over the open pastry box, stretched out her hand and bent over, leaning forward......

Ouyang Rong, who was caught off guard, suddenly felt that his eyes were no longer tired.

Thin branches hang fruits.

Such a sentence popped up in my mind inexplicably.

And I don't know if he just saw too much dense small characters, and his eyes have a trance that he sees everything big and small...... This wave is superimposed, and the king is fried.

"What is the senior brother leaning back?" Xie Lingjiang asked crisply.

"I didn't ...... It's okay, stretch out. Ouyang Rong said quietly.

He is not the kind of person who can't control his eyes, but the little junior sister is indeed too rich, and his behavior is decisive and neat, and he dangles in front of his eyes, even if he changes to a strong man with chest muscles of the same weight in front of Ouyang Rong, he can't help but look at it, and his subconscious reaction is just a subconscious reaction.

And it can be seen that she should be wrapped very tightly around her chest, and she pays great attention to this matter on weekdays, and it is very well fixed, because when she sees her actions on weekdays, there is no exaggerated wave in the bulging and taut fabric.

"What is Senior Brother looking at?"

Ouyang Rong suddenly panicked a little, but he reacted quickly, as if he didn't ask this.

"The financial expenditure of Longcheng County in the past two years, and the tax collection of some wealthy households."

The elder brother of a certain upright gentleman is the color of the road.

"Oh."

Xie Lingjiang nodded, reached out for a piece of pastry, and then bent down closer by the way, looking curiously at the books on his desk.

She seems to be quite interested in whatever this senior brother has done recently, and she doesn't know if it's because of that "qi".

"Did the senior brother find anything?"

Ouyang Rong nodded, picked one of them and said, "In the first half of this year, the Longcheng County Ya only had more than 50 yuan in savings last year. However, the flow of expenditure is more than 2,000. And the year before last, too, the financial balance of more than 40 savings ......"

The more Xie Lingjiang listened, the more he frowned, "Isn't this just the right amount of income to spend every year, and there is not much left?" Such a coincidence? ”

Ouyang Rong glanced at the scribes and officials who came over in the distance outside the door, "And every financial expenditure every year is very detailed, even how many door gods and couplets need to be pasted on the yamen on the first day of the Lunar New Year are clearly written...... If you count it, it really took so much, and there is no error. ”

Xie Lingjiang's brows furrowed even more.

He smiled, "Leave that alone. ”

The young county magistrate casually closed the financial book, threw it aside, and shook a bell on the table as if nothing had happened, and immediately summoned a few respectful scribes, and he asked the scribes to take back the books on the county finances for filing.

After the scribes left, Ouyang Rong's face was as usual, and Xie Lingjiang couldn't help but ask: "Is it just that, don't check the yamen?" ”

He said in a calm tone: "It's over for the time being." Now there is something more important. ”

Ouyang Rong gestured to the remaining thick book on the table involving the taxes of Dragon City, which was the focus of today's visit.

Xie Lingjiang was silent for a while, nodded slightly, and turned to look at the remaining books on the table curiously, as if he wanted to figure out his senior brother's intentions, and even forgot to eat the pastries in his hand.

At the same time, because she was too focused, her upper body subconsciously leaned forward more and more......

A beautiful woman approached, and Ouyang Rong, who was about to taste the pastry, suddenly smelled a fragrance that was more fragrant than the pastry.

Although he knew that the little junior sister was unintentional, he still silently avoided suspicion and moved his position backwards for her to lean.

Ouyang Rong went to pinch a piece of pastry, bit it lightly, and said secretly in his heart:

"Little junior sister really doesn't treat me as an outsider."

She is a senior brother who is not guarded against righteous men and gentlemen at all...... The feeling of being trusted by his junior sister made him quite relieved, and he silently decided to control his eyes in the future.

However, Ouyang Rong suddenly discovered a little more, sometimes he looked at something when his eyes were lost, and he didn't seem to have deducted merit, and he didn't know if it was because the other party didn't find out......

In this regard, he was just simply curious, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at the verification again.

At this moment, there was a sound of "bell", and a dull sound of wooden fish sounded in my ears.

Merit deduction one.

Before Ouyang Rong could face black, he saw that Xie Lingjiang, who had been leaning forward sideways and carefully looking at the text book on his desk, stood up abruptly, holding the pastry in his left hand, and hurriedly grasping the hilt of the sword with his right hand, with his back to him, and walked quickly to the door without looking back.

It's not so much a "quick step" as an escape.

However, Ouyang Rong still saw with sharp eyes that a small part of the white skin exposed between the collar of the back of the little sister's neck and the cloud temples was flushed at the moment, like a maple leaf drunk by the warm wind.

It's just that this noble daughter of the Xie family, who wanted to escape, seemed to react to something, and when she walked to the door, she hurriedly stopped, as if she stopped to look at the scenery, turned her back to the "improper" bastard brother in the door, shook her head, looked left and right, and after a while, she couldn't see her expression, only heard her lower voice and dropped a sentence, "It's too hot in the house, I... I'll breathe," and the shadow disappeared in the doorway.

The little sister ran away with the pastry.

“……”

Only Ouyang Rong was left in the room, who wanted to speak and stopped...... Well, can you hear me explain?

"It's over, my image of a righteous gentleman in my little sister's heart is gone."

A certain senior brother is sad.

But...... Although it was a misunderstanding, but there was one thing to say, he never expected that the little junior sister who used to be old-fashioned and serious and serious, when she occasionally blushed shyly, was actually stupid and quite cute.

This wave,It seems to be called contrast cute.。
