"These days, can't you get used to it?"

Ouyang Rong lay on his back on a bamboo chair, holding the scroll in one hand, and naturally stretched out the other, allowing the silver-haired maid to clean the wound on his index finger, which he accidentally poked when he tossed the sand table in the morning.

He looked at the vertical lines on the page and asked casually.

"Live...... Habitual stay. ”

Wei Lai's Yayan was a little rusty, she lowered her little head, a pair of misty gray blue eyes carefully looked at Ouyang Rong's right middle finger wound, pinched a hot towel and carefully wiped it, next to it was a hot water tray and untied blood-stained gauze.

"It is the luck of a slave to live with his master." The silver-haired servant murmured.

It has been two days since I came to Merlot Garden, and although Zhen said that he didn't like it, he still acquiesced, and asked the half-thin and other senior maids to take the silver-haired maid and teach her how to serve the master.

After all, it's something that Tanlang likes. Besides, every time the silver-haired servant girl went to call someone back for dinner, he came back to eat without delay and honestly......

What else can Zhen say, he naturally understands what his nephew wants to express.

"How many times have you said it, don't shout like that...... Weird. ”

I don't know if it's the Hu barbarians who call it that, and the silver-haired maid always habitually calls him master.

Ouyang Rong's face behind the scroll showed a helpless look, "It's okay to call me Langjun or Gongzi, it's okay to call me Tanlang like an aunt." ”

The silver-haired maidservant pursed her lips and didn't speak, and she didn't know if she had listened, so her face was focused on cleaning the wounds on her fingers.

She is dressed in a well-proportioned light blue maid dress today, and her silver hair is tied with two red strings to form a pair of sideburns, which seems to be rusty, and one of the single temples is a little crooked, but it looks even more clumsy and cute.

"By the way, I've been busy lately, I left early and came back late, if someone in my family bullies you, you can tell me." Ouyang Rong did not forget to advise.

Wei Lai's little face hesitated, swallowed her words back, and nodded her head.

Ouyang Rong put down the scroll, as if his eyes were tired, and turned to look at the silver-haired maid who was very close to him, who looked up and glanced at his face, and buried his head again, as if his ears were red, but he was not sure, because the candlelight on the desk behind her cast a light that shone through the small white and crystalline ear beads between her sideburns, revealing some capillary-like orange-red color.

Ouyang Rong happened to see it, raised his hand, as if he wanted to pinch it, and withdrew his hand halfway through.

Wei Lai, who always pays attention to her master, noticed it, but she was mistaken.

The silver-haired maid immediately tilted her head and raised her hand, pulled off the red rope that bound the temples, and the silver hair poured down like an avalanche.

Her hair was thick, silver but not dry, but soft and straight, with a youthful and healthy sheen, like silver silk satin.

Wei Lai obediently pulled her waist-length long silver hair to her left shoulder, and handed it to Ouyang Rong with a small face expecting to please.

The owner has said that he likes her hair, although everyone hates its color.

The corners of Ouyang Rong's mouth twitched, you little girl, why is your subjective initiative so strong?

He wanted to refuse, but he noticed the bright sparkle on the little face of the silver-haired servant, and seemed to be hopeful and happy...... A certain righteous gentleman coughed and touched the cold and silky silver hair beside his hand.

Just touch it, and it shouldn't be deductible.

Ouyang muttered in his heart, and after touching it, a slight wooden fish sound immediately sounded in his ears, but he didn't have a black face, but his expression was slightly stunned.

It is the crisp sound of a wooden fish.

Merit does not fall but rises.

“……”

Ouyang Rong couldn't help but look at Wei Lai, who was beside the bamboo chair and was slightly narrowed in blue eyes and small face after he stroked his silver hair.

It's like a noble and pure white cat infatuated with the caress given by its owner.

Ouyang Rong was slightly stunned, and couldn't help but twist the bunch of silver hair that was covered with heat on his belly, good guy, where is this silver hair, this is clearly a small gift package of experience.

Don't you have to touch it more?

He laughed, rubbing the docile little head of the silver-haired maidservant with his big hands, and the latter also stupidly stretched out his neck to rub him.

There was a slight pain in the wound on his finger belly, Ouyang Rong came back to his senses and looked at it, the silver-haired maid seemed to be distracted, the hot towel accidentally rubbed a little heavier, and his slightly red and swollen middle finger belly scar, and there were spots of blood that began to ooze.

"Yikes!"

Wei Lai was startled, and lowered her head in panic to pout the wind, her big eyes a little watery.

"Master, it's useless to be a slave, and I don't know how heavy my hands and feet are."

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm distracting you......"

Ouyang Rong's face was very embarrassed, but before he finished his apology, he suddenly felt that the middle finger of his right hand was wrapped in a gentle and wet mass, and the wound on the belly of his finger was even more taken care of by this gentle and extra care.

"Whoa."

Looking down, the little maid with silver hair scattered and caressed by him was holding his right hand, bowing her head and burying her face, her pink lips pursed, and she said vaguely in her busyness:

"Master, when I was a child, the slave was injured in the cage...... That's how Grandma treats wounds...... Good fast. ”

After speaking, her eyes turned upwards as if she was invited, and she looked at Ouyang Rong brightly, as if hoping that he would be happy.

Ouyang Rong, who was staring at her, found that it may be that the food in Merlot Park has been good these days, and Wei Lai's lips are no longer pale and bloodless as they were at the beginning, but pink and fleshy.

"Silly girl."

He shook his head and sighed, retracting his fingers, ready to have a good chat with her...... But at this time.

"Senior brother!"

Xie Lingjiang's crisp voice came from outside the house.

The master and servant in the house were stunned, Ouyang Rong took the lead in getting up and going out, Wei Lai hurriedly went to get a single coat, and trotted out to put it on him.

In the yard.

"Little junior sister, why are you here?" Ouyang Rong was curious.

"Didn't you say I'll send you ice, take it."

The girl from the Xie family, who was standing in place, handed over the box in her hand, she glanced at the petite maid with silver hair who was walking out of the house after her senior brother, and smiled lightly:

"Yo, shouldn't I have already entered the bed, that junior sister came at a bad time and disturbed my brother's dream."

"No, I mean, why did you suddenly appear here......"

Ouyang Rong ignored the joke behind him, he looked behind Xie Lingjiang, his face puzzled: "No one reported it, what about the aunts." ”

"Oh, I'm not going through the front door." Xie Lingjiang pointed to the merlin next to the courtyard, "Just try it casually, I didn't expect that it would be possible to walk through here, there is a small road." ”

Ouyang Rong was speechless for a moment, good guy, junior sister Chagang Road, right?

Spit and complain, he didn't have anything to be a thief, Ouyang Rong invited Xie Lingjiang into the study and sat down.

There was a strange girl here, Wei Lai was a lot more restrained, hurriedly tied up her long silver hair, trotted to move the stool and pour water, busy before and after.

"Usually no one comes, the hospitality is not good, don't blame the junior sister."

In the study, Ouyang Rong personally boiled water, cleaned the tea set, and prepared tea.

Xie Lingjiang didn't reply, looked at him for a while, and then turned his head to look at the silver-haired girl who was clumsily moving a stool in the living room not far away.

According to the order of a county, the study bedroom is empty and deserted.

Her face was a little moved:

"Didn't Senior Brother never think about personal pleasure and personal affairs?"

"What do you mean?"

Ouyang Rong's face was calm, and he lowered his head to make tea.

Xie Lingjiang looked at the young county magistrate in front of him, and all the words he wanted to say finally turned into one sentence:

"Senior brother is more frugal and simple than my father."

Ouyang Rong was a little stunned, he was not stupid, he probably understood the meaning of the expression of his junior sister, and looked left and right, but he couldn't cry or laugh:

"Didn't I already add a personal maid, I just live with a big man, and I have a maid to take a handle, isn't it enough?"

is also a delicate and eye-catching white-haired Lori, well-behaved and sensible to serve him...... Ouyang Rong thought about it, if he was placed in his previous life, he would be hung with a street lamp.

"Senior brother is really ......"

Xie Lingjiang withdrew his gaze from a silver-haired maid who was very unsuitable for her aesthetics, paused, and shook his head slightly.

Next door to the Su Mansion, even if the current situation is extremely desolate, the Su family's uncles and aunts, Da Lang and Xiaomei and others, there are at least seven or eight maids and servants in the room to serve; Even the guest room that Caishou had just arranged for Ying Niang was equipped with two maids;

And her father, even if he has a reputation for honesty and simplicity in the literary world of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there are several old servants around him to serve. Even Xie Lingjiang suspected that there were more servants in Yan Liulang's house than the senior brother, not to mention the white-haired barbarian girl chosen by the senior brother......

I don't know if she is serving her brother, or her brother is serving her, and the tea art is not as familiar as the senior brother.

A certain Xie noblewoman looked at Ouyang Rong, whose face was complacent, and her eyes were a little complicated.

Subsequently, the topic of the two turned to the affairs of the county government of tomorrow.

In the distance, the silver-haired and blue-eyed petite maid stood silently behind the curtain and looked at the smiling and confident Lang monarch in the study, and the noble girl with black hair and dark eyes and talking eloquently.

A look of inferiority and envy flashed on her fair little face...... This is a woman who can be worthy of her master.

……

The night was already dark, Xie Lingjiang didn't stay for too long, drank a cup of hot tea poured by his senior brother and left satisfied.

Ouyang Rong could see that the junior sister seemed to have something happy today, and she talked about sex well, but she didn't say anything about him, so she didn't ask much.

After sending his sister away, he casually touched the little head of the silver-haired maid who seemed to be a little silent, and went back to the room early to rest.

Nothing was said all night.

Ouyang Rong got up very early today, and the sky outside the window was bright, so he finished washing up and went out lightly, leaving only the silver-haired little maid who sat up stupidly with the futon in her arms, rubbing her sleepy eyes and being confused alone......

After Ouyang Rong and Yan Liulang met, they went to the West Market to eat a bowl of fragrant noodle soup, and Liulang, who was late, punished himself for treating.

The two then personally took the officials and scribes to count the grain sold to the county government by 16 grain merchants at the wharf, and in the morning, the grain of more than a dozen other village gentry was also delivered one after another, and by noon, the 300,000 stone grain was finally escorted to the Yicang of the Longcheng County Ya.

By the time Ouyang Rong and Yan Liulang returned to the county office, Xie Lingjiang had already led people to wait at the gate for a long time.

"Everyone's here?"

Ouyang Rong took the teacup brought by his junior sister, took a big sip, and asked without looking back.

"It's early, and many of the grain merchants and squires who sold grain yesterday have been invited, and now they are all drinking tea in the side hall, waiting for the senior brother."

Xie Lingjiang said confidently.

"What about the sand table?"

"Moved to the lobby."

"You can bring them over, and I'll change into my official uniform."

Ouyang Rong smiled at Xie Lingjiang and said, today's matter is quite important, he has to dress more formally.

"Okay." Xie Lingjiang went to get someone.

Ouyang Rong instructed again: "Liulang, guard the county government hall, and don't let anyone leave in advance without my permission later." ”

"Yes, Mingfu." Yan Liulang took the order and left.

Not long after, Ouyang Rong changed into a light green patterned silk official uniform in the back hall, pushed open the door, and walked into the crowded and noisy county government hall.

The hall of the county government, which was rebuilt after the flood, was originally very wide, and every previous meeting was not crowded.

Today's "crowded" is because there is suddenly a huge artificial sand table in the center of the lobby - on this sand table, there are mounds of soil simulating mountains and simulating the flow of rivers, which simulates some terrain and terrain vividly and clearly.

As for the "noise", it came from the grain merchants and squires such as Wang Caozhi, Ma Zhang, and Li Zhangbao who gathered around the huge sand table......

Not long after they walked into the lobby, they were all stunned at the moment, pointing at the strange objects in the center of the lobby, and exchanging heads.

Looking at their wonderful faces, compared to the peculiarity of this huge sand table, what surprised them even more was the content and ambition that was faintly revealed in this sand table.

Xie Lingjiang on the side was smiling with his hands on his chest, watching everyone's reactions with interest.

But she forgot that her expression after seeing the sand table for the first time and listening to her brother's explanation was not much different from the grain merchants and squires at the moment.

"Senior brother."

"Lord Prefectural Order."

Seeing the main lord enter the door, everyone saluted, and then stared wide-eyed, and after a short silence, there were gossip questions.

Wang Caozhi was the first to ask: "Lord County Commander, what is demonstrated above...... It can't be Butterfly Creek, right? ”

"Brother has good eyes." Ouyang Rong smiled.

"But how is it different from what I remember?" Wang Caozhi scratched his head and smiled awkwardly.

"That's why it's called New Construction." The young magistrate nodded, "We're just going to make it the same." ”

These bland but domineering words made Wang Caozhi, Ma Shopkeeper, Li Shopkeeper and other grain merchants look at each other.

Compared with the grain merchants who are not familiar with the local grain merchants in Longcheng, the squires such as Wu Bo and Cheng Yuanwai can naturally understand more, almost a little through.

Cheng Yuanwai smiled bitterly and pointed to the sand table: "Lord County Order, this shouldn't be true, right?" ”

"It's man-made." Ouyang Rong said softly.

Uncle Wu couldn't help but ask, "How much silver does this cost?" ”

Ouyang Rong smiled at everyone:

"Invest more, make more money, and you must know better about the business opportunities in it than this official."

Wu Bo and Cheng Yuanwai were speechless for a moment.

The new creation on the sand table in front of him made all the squires feel dry mouth, and even their bodies became hot.

Wang Caozhi and the other foreign grain merchants seemed to understand whether they understood or not, and they were itching to ask, but Ouyang Rong was very intimate, and turned his head and asked Xie Lingjiang to fetch dozens of paper rolls that had been prepared long ago, and the grain merchants and squires in the lobby had one each.

Even if they vaguely guessed in advance, after reading the well-planned new construction in their hands, many people were still shocked.

There was silence in the lobby for a while.

Facing the crowd with complicated expressions, Ouyang Rong clapped his hands and said:

"There is one point, it is necessary for this official to remind me warmly, the appearance of the county is 2. Huang Qiao, Huang Qiao, Fat Hairpin, You Xuan, Meng Zhong, Meng Zhong, Gan Chang, Gan Chang∥Γ, Gan Chang, Gan Chang, Huang Qiao

"And right now, the county government debt in your hands is the only admission ticket given by the county government's friendship, and the window of opening is only this time today, everyone, I am so worried."

After speaking, Ouyang Rong didn't say much, sat back on the Taishi chair above, lowered his eyes and drank tea, leaving only the hall full of people to face the familiar and unfamiliar butterfly stream sand table in front of him......

This time I didn't wait long, maybe I had yesterday's experience, and I had been trained and persuaded by the scumbag county order, this time, it was still the sixteen grain merchants who stepped forward first, and then Wu Bo took the lead, and the other hesitant squires also stepped forward......

Not long after, in the lobby, a young county magistrate who was too busy signing paperwork took the time to look at each other and smile at a certain female master.

But at this moment, there was a sudden violent drum sound of "dong dong dong" outside the county office!

The house was full of surprise.

Someone is beating the drum of injustice!

Ouyang Rong and Xie Lingjiang were stunned for a while, especially the former, who had been in office for so long, and had never heard the drums, because if there was any case, just go directly to the yamen to report it, and most of the drums were decorations, unless there was a small official in the yamen who stopped the case from reporting.

Ouyang Rong calmed everyone in the lobby and took Xie Lingjiang out, but as soon as they arrived at the gate of the county office, the two saw a frowning figure.

I saw Liu Zilin, who had not seen him for many days, leading a few entourages, taking the lead in beating drums, and the streets behind him were full of ordinary people who were attracted to stop and watch the play.

Seeing Ouyang Rong come out, the third young man of the Liu family had a very smiling face:

"The county magistrate has finally taken time out of his busy schedule, this time, you have to administer justice for the grass people!"

Ouyang Rong nodded calmly, "Is your leg good?" ”

"......" Liu Zilin's smile remained unchanged: "Does the county magistrate care about his legs, or do he care about justice?" ”

"Young Master Liu still needs this official to administer justice?"

"Isn't Ben Shao a citizen of Dragon City? Didn't the parents uphold justice for the people of Dragon City? ”

"Yes, but this drum can't be beaten randomly, if you find nonsense, you will be killed."

"No, no, no, there was no random knocking, absolutely no random knocking, the grass people are now unjustly dead, just waiting for the blue sky master to redress the grass people's grievances!"

"What's wrong, say it quickly." Ouyang Rong squinted.

The third young man of the Liu family looked at each other with the young county order for a while, and suddenly he poked his index finger at the county order in front of everyone in the audience...... Men's Girls Behind Us:

"The grass people want to sue your master!"

Inside and outside the county office, there was silence.

Xie Ling Jiang froze in place.

Ouyang Rong didn't look back, silently staring at Liu Zilin, who was showing his teeth.
