"Little junior sister knows that I'm not this kind of person."

"I don't know now."

"Little junior sister doesn't believe me?"

A girl who stupidly runs to the rice shop every day to ask the price, and occasionally the price of rice drops a little bit to enjoy it for a few days shakes her head:

"If I hadn't heard about this in Dongshi, I wouldn't have known that you had released the food restriction order."

Ouyang Rong said seriously: "I didn't fill my pocket, money is not important to me, justice is important to me." ”

"Your justice is to let food prices rise arbitrarily?" Xie Lingjiang took a deep breath, "If you do this, you might as well open a porridge shed in the Liu family." ”

Ouyang Rong frowned, "The porridge shed opened by the Liu family...... The junior sister really doesn't know or not. ”

"It doesn't matter if I know it or not, I only believe what I see now." Xie Lingjiang turned his head, pursed his lips, and after a while, said again: "People can at least make a show, what about you Ouyang Lianghan?" ”

Ouyang Rong was slightly flustered, looked at the little junior sister who seemed to be angry for a while, and asked:

"Senior sister knows that what I did must be for the good of the people of Dragon City in the end...... So why do you still say these angry words? ”

"Who said the angry words? Let's not mention what you are doing with the liberalization of food prices, I ...... I'm not as smart as you in this regard, and I can't figure it out for a while. ”

Xie Lingjiang turned his head and glared at him with disgust:

"But Ouyang Lianghan, every time you have any plans, you don't discuss them with others in advance, and you look too lazy to say anything, are we ...... Companion, am I still your staff? ”

"Forehead ......"

Ouyang Rong vaguely understood some women's brain circuits, but he only understood a little, just like seven tricks through six tricks, and none of them knew anything.

"Why don't I talk to you now?" He scoffed.

In fact, if the little junior sister didn't mention it, someone really forgot that he had a staff member. What, the little junior sister turned out to be a staff member? Isn't she in charge of force, and her staff is in charge of intelligence......

"No need!"

Xie Lingjiang raised his white little chin and categorically refused:

"You don't need to say it, I'm not that stupid, I'll think about it myself...... However, Ouyang Lianghan, have you ever thought that the current increase in grain prices will affect how many people in Longcheng will be affected in the short term? Perhaps this became the last straw that overwhelmed a certain family. ”

Ouyang Rong was silent for a while, this was a question he had been silently avoiding in his heart for the past few days, so he kept urging himself to move fast and ruthlessly.

He said seriously: "The disaster relief camp outside the city has been providing food and clothing on the food and clothing line. ”

Xie Lingjiang silently looked at the young county magistrate who seemed to suddenly show some fatigue for a while, she sniffed and turned to leave.

Today, she is dressed in red, coming and going quickly.

It's the same as the character.

"Little junior sister."

Ouyang Rong suddenly shouted at the fiery back.

"Sometimes, justice comes at a price." He was stunned.

Xie Lingjiang paused.

"I ...... Disagree. ”

The woman stubbornly left.

……

"Sister Xie has something on her mind?"

After the dinner in Sufu, on the flower path back to the residence, Su Bao'er carried a small lantern and asked without looking back.

Xie Lingjiang glanced at the graceful back of her long skirt dragging to the ground.

"Sister Su doesn't eat well, why are you staring at me?"

"Sister Xie's mood is all written on her face, which is naturally conspicuous."

Xie Lingjiang asked: "Sister of the Su family, do you know that sometimes what you say is quite annoying." ”

Su Bao'er was not annoyed, her back was facing Xie Lingjiang's back, and Yun Sideburns nodded her head:

"But I'm telling the truth."

Xie Lingjiang was silent.

Su Bao'er asked, "Is it related to your senior brother?" ”

Xie Lingjiang actually didn't talk much with this little girl of the Su family, perhaps because of the natural arrogance and rejection between excellent women, the two often had conceptual disputes before, and then they simply stopped fighting, after all, they lived under the same roof and tried to talk about some topics that were compatible.

However, the aunt of the Su family is a very hospitable person, and treats Xie Lingjiang like her own daughter, which makes Xie Lingjiang, whose mother died early, feel very warm in her heart, and the aunt of the Su family told her just after dinner that she has time to talk to Su Bao'er, who has few friends with her.

Xie Lingjiang walked quietly for a while, and with some indignation, he said a little indignantly about the senior brother's release of grain prices.

But what she never expected was that after listening to it, Su Bao'er nodded directly and asserted:

"This son has a different talent and a sense of experience. Sister Xie doesn't need to worry about the price of food? ”

Xie Lingjiang was speechless for a moment, "Didn't Sister Su say that my senior brother was arrogant a few days ago?" ”

Caishou, who was following behind the second daughter, also had a surprised face, and looked at her young lady with a puzzled face...... Hmm, didn't you say that the new county order was a hypocrite last time?

The little lady of the Xie family is new, maybe I don't know, but Caishou is clear, her own lady has always liked to evaluate characters in private, and she has always looked at people very accurately.

So on the surface, outsiders only know that Miss is a pampered young girl who is pampered by the Su family, but they don't know that Miss has the right to suggest and even decide on many things in the Su Mansion.

It's strange, but it still happened, the old man of Su Mansion and the eldest young master don't seem to think that there is anything wrong with the woman's interference in family affairs, but they are quite convinced......

Regarding Xie Lingjiang's doubts behind him, Su Bao'er's face was as usual: "He can indeed be arrogant." ”

Back to the courtyard of the Water Pavilion, they said good night to each other, and the two daughters separated.

Su Bao'er returned to the boudoir, did not wash up immediately, but turned around and walked to the desk, grinding ink and laying paper, brushing up her long sleeves, and drilled out a small white hand, nail powder, and five fingers, and pulled out a slender sheep's hair.

She tilted her head to look at Merlin outside the window, and the end of the pen gently touched the white chin of the goose egg face.

"Ribbons."

She called.

"Miss, what's the matter?"

"Give me a message to Brother Af."

Su Bao'er lowered her eyes and put down her pen, and her pink lips lightly opened: "Don't send people, go to the county government in person in the past two days......"

In the study, the young lady who bowed her head and wrote carefully advised, and the little maid with a bun face nodded and tried to write it down, and then scratched the head of the double maid with her little hand and went out to pass the word.

The study room is quiet again, the girl who painted plum blossom makeup between her eyebrows has already put down her pen and returned to the house to sleep, and on the rice paper that is casually inked under the bookcase, there is undried pen and ink: Ninety-four, or jump in the abyss, no blame.

This is the ninety-fourth hexagram of the first hexagram of "Zhou Yi". If Ouyang Rong, who "understands a little" about everything, happens to be here, he will be able to understand some of the general meanings:

The dragon may be trapped in the abyss, but the strength has been accumulated, just move forward or backward according to the situation, there is no mistake, you can try...... One step forward.

It's just that I don't know if this is written to the young county magistrate or to this Su Mansion.

……

Su Bao'er didn't believe in fate very much, but later believed it, and even specialized in the metaphysical I Ching.

Tonight, she dreamed again of the warning words of the Taoist priest after helping her:

"Your Royal Highness's dragon eyes and phoenix neck, the extreme of nobles, but there is still a noble person destined to meet before soaring into the sky."

"Where is the nobleman, and how shall I find him?"

"This person is in the abyss, and the bright moon comes out, and he will be an official in this county and resign, and write the resignation of the official retirement, and the poems and the bright moon will finally be given to His Highness, at that time, His Highness will be able to take off for nine days, but do not be, in addition to sharing hardships, this person must also be rich and noble, in order to stabilize His Highness's life."

She frowned and said coldly: "I'm not like a rich and noble person?" ”

Xiangshi lowered his eyebrows: "I don't know." ”

……

There is a piece of gossip that spreads all over the grain shops in Longcheng County:

The county government did not have enough food.

It is rumored that Jiangzhou is short of grain, and the newly arrived Ouyang County Commander lent a lot of reserve grain from the disaster relief camp to Jiangzhou in order to curry favor with the supervisor Lord Shen.

And now, the market vendors have also discovered that there is a group of people suspected of being yamen collecting grain at high prices.

I don't know if this news is true or not, but the Longcheng County Ya has never refuted the rumors, which is very suspicious, because if it is false, you must refute the rumors, if it is true, then it is even more necessary to refute the rumors, as for not refuting the rumors, isn't that a default rotten?

It's not a deliberate effort to inflate food prices, is it? Even if it is deliberate, the grain merchants will do it.

Anyway, on the second day, the price of rice in the east city of Longcheng County jumped into the sky like fireworks, and at the most exaggerated time, the rice bag of a rice shop in the east city was replaced by three price cards in one day.

The news of the crazy rise in food prices is that a few families are happy and a few are sad, but they have not yet gathered into too many waves, and another thing at the moment is to make the people and businessmen of the city enthusiastic, that is, the Dragon Boat Festival dragon boat festival a few days later.

The old wharf of Penglangdu, which has not been repaired for a long time, has been renovated and expanded by more than half with the help of several wealthy water transport businessmen in the county government and the city, and the new county order has come to celebrate the ribbon cutting in person after the completion of the construction.

And now the new port after expansion has ushered in an endless stream of foreign ships.

The news of the Dragon Boat Festival in Longcheng has spread throughout many counties and prefectures in the upper reaches of Yunmengze and the Yangtze River downstream, and many wealthy officials and businessmen have come to play with their wives and children to participate in the only Dragon Boat Festival event in Jiangzhou.

However, the tourists who walked down from these tall luxury boats on the wharf were not all Jiangzhou people who were unable to spend the Dragon Boat Festival due to flooding in their hometowns, and there were also some wealthy businessmen from other states......

Under the noon sun, Peng Langdu was slowly docked with a strange merchant ship with the word "Wang" written on its hull, but the strange thing was that the merchant ship docked for a while, put down a few people, and left soon after.

Among the few people who put down the ship, the one who walked in front was a short young man, and a few small servants behind him seemed to be escorts.

"I love this place."

The short young man wore a soft-horned head, a narrow-sleeved round-necked robe, a black leather belt around his waist, and black boots.

"The ferry port is convenient, the water transport is developed, and the city tax is cheap...... You smell it, and it's all the smell of silver. ”

A follower behind him couldn't help but say: "Young shopkeeper, didn't we go to Hongzhou, why did we stop here in Jiangzhou?" ”

Wang Shao's shopkeeper smiled: "I will go wherever I can make money, go, go to the street to see if it is really the same as the rumors." ”

The followers behind were puzzled, but after Wang Shao's shopkeeper took them back from a tour of the grain shops in Dongshi in person, these followers were all forbidden:

"Mother's legs, what kind of place does this Longcheng County live, and food is so expensive? Nineteen dollars a bucket? Are all the people who live here so rich? More nobles than Hongzhou City? ”

"Normal, the Jiangzhou flood has caused a lot of trouble in Gangnam Province recently, haven't you heard of it? It is normal for food prices to be more expensive during disasters. ”

"It's not so exaggerated to be more expensive, and the price of grain in our business has directly doubled. Compared with these peers in Longcheng County, our firm is simply doing charity, which is too much of a loss. ”

Shopkeeper Wang Shao smiled and listened to the discussions of the followers behind him, and did not speak, but he quite agreed with the saying "not a big profit is a loss".

As a member of the family, although he can't study in a private school, he likes to wander outside since he was a child, and he has some business acumen.

Disembarking through Dragon City today is a decision made after capturing some news yesterday.

After another walk, the shopkeeper Wang Shao said slowly: "And you see, the bustle of this county is not at all like the flood has just passed, there are no homeless people on the street, and there are not a few beggars, and it seems that the Dragon Boat Festival will be held in a few days." ”

A follower was eager to ask: "Young shopkeeper, let's go back and sell the grain immediately, right?" ”

"It feels a little weird...... Don't worry, let's see. ”

Shopkeeper Wang Shao thought for a while and shook his head.

After walking around a few times and inquiring about some of the local officials and wealthy businessmen, everyone was ready to find an inn to rest and eat, and came to a restaurant in the downtown area with a thriving business.

Wang Shao's shopkeeper had sharp eyes, caught a glimpse of a rather familiar silhouette, was stunned, and blurted out: "Sister Xie? ”

At the door of Yuanming Building, Xie Lingjiang, who was about to enter the door, paused, turned around to look, and saw a group of short young men.

"You know me? Wait, you are ......" she frowned and thought, faintly remembering a certain meeting at the gathering of Wang Xie in Wuyi Lane, Jinling, but she still didn't think of the name, mainly because there were too many children of the two families, and there were only a few dazzling ones, such as her, according to the ranking, it should be Xie Seventeen Niang.

Xie Lingjiang's face was apologetic: "I'm sorry, Brother Shi, your name is ......"

Wang Shao's shopkeeper stepped forward to introduce himself very familiarly:

"Sister Lingjiang, little brother Wang Caozhi, you shouldn't remember the little brother, but Sister Xie I am very familiar with it, the elders in the family talk about it every day, and often say that none of us Wang family boys are good at reading, which makes our children a little embarrassed, I'm fine, mainly because I like to see those brothers who read with stinky faces hahaha."

Xie Lingjiang's face was expressionless, he was not amused, and Wang Caozhi coughed twice, a little embarrassed.
