"Is Mrs. Pei really from Yangzhou, how can she be like a know-it-all in Xunyang, and she has a clear grasp of the itinerary of the petty official."

Ouyang Rong smiled and praised.

Pei Sanniang's eyes were a little embarrassed, and her smile was covered:

"Where, where, it is not a jack of all trades, and there is no way to grasp this kind of statement, and the slave family will never dare to do this kind of tracking.

"It's just that Lord Changshi's heroic appearance can be seen from afar, and in the traffic crowd, it is like the bright moon in the night sky, which makes it difficult for slaves and people to ignore it."

At the entrance of the street not far from the Jiangzhou Hall, Ouyang Rong rode back from Hanlei Mozhai, and when he turned the corner, he met Pei Shisanniang's carriage waiting, who had been waiting for a long time with a smile, so Ouyang Rong pouted and teased a few words, and Pei Shisanniang hurriedly denied it.

"Say, what's the matter, give you a stick of incense, if it's still the last time Yunshui Pavilion talked about, it will be exempt, don't delay the time of both parties, Mrs. Pei should be very busy doing business."

Ouyang Rong shook his head and said.

Pei Shisanniang smiled:

"Lord Changshi is really humorous, last time on the second floor of Yunshui Pavilion, after listening to a little teaching from Lord Changshi's busy schedule, the slave family benefited a lot, such as Daigo empowerment.

"The slave family wrote down the words of the long history, and after going back, I thought about it carefully, weighed the words, and had some feelings, no, I have some new ideas and plans......"

Ouyang Rong lowered his eyes and touched the side face of Dongmei, who was stealing the grass on the roadside, and calmly reported: "Half a burnt incense." ”

Pei Sanniang immediately stopped her mouth, pursed her red lips, and immediately threw out an invitation:

"There is another thing to come over today, I am entrusted by someone, there is a luncheon, and I want to invite Lord Changshi."

Ouyang Rong shook his head: "The luncheon will be waived, and the petty officials will not bother ......"

"It was the invitation of the little girl's family who helped the lady of the Xie family yesterday, and I want to thank the nobleman."

Ouyang Rong paused, his lacquered eyes leaned down, and he glanced at the noble lady who was smiling softly.

"Oh." He nodded.

It was just one syllable, but Pei Sanniang heard two different tones, the latter one cold.

"Lord Changshi misunderstood."

Her tone was helpless, and she didn't feel dirty at all and grabbed the extra horse rope hanging from Ouyang Rong's hand, and her voice was so soft that it was even a little coquettish:

"The slave family happened to pass by when they came back from going out of the city to enjoy the maple yesterday, and found out that this thing happened that the eldest of the long history loved the people like a son, after the eldest of the long history and the noble daughter of the Xie family bought the red leaves, the little girl of the family was stunned, and saw that she had a wound on her hand, and the slave family saw it, and couldn't bear it, so let people help her bandage the wound.

But the little girl is kind-hearted, and she is reluctant to give up on the nobles, and wants to thank her for her kindness, but she keeps talking about it when she is injured...... Hey, the slave family's heart softened, so they decided to help her, so they wanted to go to Xunyang City to set up a table of wine to help her invite nobles. ”

The noble lady looked up at a well-maintained little round face, looked at the pouting young man on horseback, and said aggrievedly:

"But I didn't hide it from Lord Changshi that the slave family's move was indeed selfish, and I also wanted to take the opportunity to meet Lord Changshi more and enhance my feelings......

"But Lord Changshi, please rest assured, what the slave family said about enhancing the relationship is a serious friendship, well, the relationship between the government and the people is by no means a serious thing.

"Since the first time I saw that incident in Xunyang Building, the slave family has reflected deeply, repented seriously, and will never make those messy things again.

"And...... Hey, there is a noble daughter of the Xie family, and she doesn't dare to give the slave family 800 guts, and the lady Xie in Yangzhou has to tear up the slave family after learning about it.

"Therefore, I hope that Lord Changshi and the noble daughter of the Xie family will give the slave family a chance, and it can be regarded as a chance to give the little girl named Huang Xuan and her father who wants to toast and gratitude."

The time for a stick of incense has passed, Ouyang Rong rode on the back of the horse and did not move, his eyes staring at Pei Shisanniang for a while.

The latter was stared at for a long time, and there was some sneering.

In addition to stretching out his hand and not hitting the smiling person, if it weren't for the favor of Pei Shisanniang and Wang Caozhi who came forward to raise the price and give him face at the birthday banquet of the little junior sister, Ouyang Rong actually didn't want to pay much attention to her, and the businessman who was full of copper smell had nothing to talk about.

In the quiet atmosphere where the sweat on Pei Sanniang's neck gradually became tense, finally, Ouyang Rong spoke softly:

"Just once.

"After the next duty, at two o'clock in the afternoon, Wan Wan and I will go to Xunyang Building, don't tidy up the mess before, everything is simple, just have a meal and chat, understand?"

"Understood, understood."

Pei Sanniang breathed a sigh of relief and nodded with a bright smile: "It must be arranged properly, and I would like to welcome Lord Changshi and the noble daughter of the Xie family." ”

Ouyang Rong turned around to leave, but heard Pei Shisanniang add:

"By the way, Lord Changshi, yesterday I saw you helping others, and the slave family and some companions were also deeply informed, and decided to take out something and donate it for free......"

The tone is somewhat flattering.

Ouyang Rong waved his hand:

"This is your own business, it has nothing to do with the official, the non-governmental self-organization, the official supports it in principle, as long as it is through formal channels, remember to go to the Jiangzhou lobby to register."

"Okay, good, at noon, Xunyang Tower, welcome Lord Changshi and the noble daughter of the Xie family."

Pei Sanniang smiled and said, Ouyang Rong walked into the Jiangzhou lobby without looking back.

After the person left, the noblewoman's smile slowly retracted, turned her head and boarded the carriage again, and commanded:

"Return to Xunyang Tower."

Listening to his tone, he seems to be in a good mood.

The carriage came to Xunyang Building, Pei Shisanniang got off the car, and was immediately surrounded by a bunch of brocade merchants and warmly received.

They are all wealthy businessmen of Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce.

"President Pei, how is Changshi's side?" There is a wealthy businessman's tone of anticipation.

Pei Sanniang smiled slightly, and not long ago, the noble lady who was coquettish and flattering in front of a weak-crowned young man stood on the rosewood bench that got off the car and tiptoed, and glanced at her companions lightly:

"Lord Changshi said that it will be at two o'clock in the afternoon."

The wealthy businessmen showed their joy and patted their ass.

"It's still Mrs. Pei who is powerful, so she can invite that adult."

"President Pei has worked hard."

Pei Sanniang waved her hand and dropped a sentence: "Just behave well today, don't talk nonsense if you shouldn't say it, the concubine will open your mouth......"

"Yes, yes, yes."

Under a burst of compliments, Pei Sanniang walked into the building with a familiar car.

Along the way, the surroundings are full of people, and it is very lively.

Today's Xunyang Building, there are so many people who come that even the owner is at the door to receive distinguished guests.

If you look around, you will find that there are not only wealthy businessmen in Jiangzhou, but also famous gentry, as well as famous scholars...... They were invited to Xunyang Tower, as if to participate in a grand luncheon.

Where is this, everything is simple, and it is clearly a feast.

Pei Sanniang went upstairs and asked the maid next to her on the way:

"The father and daughter have arrived?"

"In the Narcissus box."

The maid's expression was about to speak.

Pei Sanniang glanced at it: "If you have something to say, say it quickly." ”

"They didn't live in the big mansion that Madame gave them last night, and they still lived in the original small courtyard."

"Huh." Pei Sanniang chuckled.

The little girl's vigilance is quite strong.

She shook her head, not caring.

The wood has been completed, and now that everyone has been invited, they have succeeded in taking advantage of the situation, which actually does not have much effect on the father and daughter, but before toasting in public, they still need to stabilize them and cooperate obediently.

Speaking of which, she didn't mean to hurt the father and daughter, the house was indeed sent away, and she wouldn't want it back, and she didn't bother to ask for it.

Pei Sanniang suddenly felt that her title of great benevolent person was well deserved.

Therefore, this luncheon to invite Lord Changshi can be said to be a win-win, and it is actually beneficial to everyone present, even if Lord Changshi comes, there is no reason to blame, and she is annoyed that she invited so many people.

When the time comes, it will be enough to toast and make amends, and speaking of which, so many people are famous for coming spontaneously, and it is not counting her invitation......

Pei Sanniang bowed her head and turned her head to look at the lively downstairs, where one by one the distinguished guests who heard the famous people in the long history came to cheer.

This is the power of the governor of Jiangzhou, right now in Xunyang City, who doesn't know that the words of the assassin may not be as effective as the words of the Changshi who is trusted by the king of Xunyang?

Anyway, as long as she can invite Lord Changshi here, she has thought of all the explanations and excuses at that time, and she will not make Lord Changshi so angry that she brushes her sleeves and leaves, Pei Sanniang will grasp a good degree.

In fact, this is also the advantage of the long-sleeved dancing woman, suitable for this kind of occasion, acting as a lubricant, so that men can have the opportunity to talk about "big things".

"It's true that there is no mess of things, just a meal, and there are more people......" She said to herself: "Since Lord Changshi doesn't like beauties and jewelry, then he always likes beauty, and he has to love one." ”

After a while, Pei Shisanniang walked into the narcissus box, and her tone was gentle, calming the father and daughter of the Huang family.

"Mrs. Pei, is it really just a toast?"

"Yes."

"Isn't it just a few of us, what's going on with those people outside?"

"I don't know, maybe someone else is holding a banquet."

"Will the nobleman really come?"

"Of course, the concubines are familiar with the nobles, and they have promised to come over at noon. When people come, they will talk about some things first, and then someone will call you, and you will go out to toast and thank Lord Xia Changshi for your help, just say anything. ”

"Oh......"

"Why is Xiaoxuan carrying an ink ingot?"

"Newly bought."

"Oh, I thought I was going to send it to Lord Changshi, but in fact, you don't have to send anything, Lord Changshi doesn't lack anything, you might as well not send it, just get your mind to it, for nobles, sincerity and honesty are the right way to get along, understand."

"Understand, it's not a gift."

"That's good, the children can be taught."

Pei Sanniang chatted with Huang Xuan in the box.

It's just that what she doesn't know is that in the hall on the next floor, there is a young man in a Taoist robe with a paralyzed face, since Huang Xuan's father and daughter arrived in this building, he has been sitting on a table in the corner of the hall drinking tea and listening to music, and the tea has been drinking for almost two hours.

It can be described as a cup of tea, and in the morning, stepping on the threshold of minimum consumption, beating to death does not pay more than a copper plate.

If it weren't for the proprietor's constant emphasis on quality and politeness, and not to drive away any paying customers, the shopkeeper who was in charge of this table on the first floor would really want to get out of this poor and eye-catching facial paralysis bull's nose.

Just when it was almost noon and the Xunyang Building luncheon was about to start, the shopkeeper finally got an excuse to empty the hall, he turned around and grabbed a menu, ran over with great interest, and was ready to pick up people, but when he looked back, his expression was instantly stunned.

The figure of the young man in the face paralysis robe was nowhere to be seen.

The shopkeeper looked at the empty seats and couldn't help muttering:

"You have the eye...... Hey, why don't you swallow the tea too, it's shameless. ”

I saw that the teacup on the table, there was not half a drop left, only a few chewed tea leaves left, and the tea shop Xiao Er cleaned it up with a disgusted face.

The action is fast, because today, the richest group of Yangzhou businessmen in Xunyang City want to feast on the well-known Jiangzhou Governor Shi, as if it is still a charity banquet, it is said that the Yangzhou businessmen feel the personality charm of Changshi and Dundun's teachings, and decided to donate money to the poor people in Xingzifang to solve their very worrying living conditions.

Although the shopkeeper didn't understand why these door-slamming businessmen suddenly felt great and donated kindly, it did not prevent him from earning a tip and rewarding silver today, even if a drop of oil and water flowed from the fingers of these wealthy businessmen, it was enough for ordinary people to eat for half a year.

The news of the charity luncheon seems to have spread all over the west of the city, and the distinguished guests who came to the banquet are like clouds, and the lobby will be vacated to set up tables and fill the seats today.

The shopkeeper quickly left the white prostitute nose behind, and the speed of cleaning up his hands sped up a little, and he didn't dare to slack off the upcoming big guys......

Ouyang Rong finished handling the morning's official business and went straight to the back door of the Jiangzhou lobby.

A carriage from the Xunyang Palace, quietly parked at the door, looking like it had been waiting for a long time.

Just in the morning, he had agreed with Pei Shisanniang for a banquet at noon, and Ouyang Rong immediately sent someone to Xunyang Wangfu to inform the little junior sister and call her to come over and gather to go.

Ouyang Rong boarded the carriage and saw that the little junior sister was sitting by the window, with a familiar bamboo basket on her lap, which contained poems, red leaves and folding fans.

Before he got into the car, she seemed to be looking down at the poems on the red leaves, and the autumn sun shone on a flawless face, with a bit of the quiet taste of time.

"Big brother."

"Waiting? Didn't you ask the messenger to tell you to come later? ”

"It's okay, I'm going to come over early, and it's okay in the morning."

"Oh."

The two chatted for a while, and the carriage slowly drove towards Xunyang Tower on the riverside.

They all went out lightly and went to the feast.

Ouyang Rong was wearing a felt hat, and the crimson official uniform in the morning had been changed, just like yesterday's dress, everything was simple.

On the carriage ahead, he and Xie Lingjiang explained the matter of the morning banquet, but the latter didn't care and listened to his arrangement.

Just when the carriage was approaching a street not far from Xunyang Building, it suddenly braked, the groom made a sound, and the carriage seemed to have been stopped, Ouyang Rong frowned, lifted the curtain, and looked out.

"What's going on...... Lu Daoyou? ”

Lu Zhuan boarded the car without changing his color, sat down unceremoniously in front of Ouyang Rong and Xie Lingjiang, and suddenly asked a question that surprised the two:

"Ouyang Gongzi, Xie Daoyou, where did Pei Shisanniang, who invited you two to luncheon, come from and what kind of business did she do?"

Ouyang Rong couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
