Chapter 570 Pei Shisanniang sincerely returns her heart and makes an appointment with the embroiderer for the Lantern Festival [Please vote for me!]
Pei Shisanniang felt flattered to be called to help by Ouyang Rong.
On the day Su Xing was released from the Supervisory Yuan, Ouyang Lianghan's reaction was very mediocre after he "crouched down and recognized his master" on the carriage.
At that time, he said that we would talk more about it another day and asked her to go back and wait for the call.
But Pei Shisanniang waited in her luxurious house for several days, thinking day and night, tossing and turning on the bed covered with precious silk from the Western Regions.
It's just that I can't wait for the call of a certain young new master.
Pei Shisanniang was uneasy and did not want to eat or drink.
Even in the past few days, I have been panicking... Could it be that this young new master, who is kind-hearted but has thunderous methods, does not need her?
Or maybe he doesn't like her and she is not qualified to be his white glove?
Pei Sanniang was very flustered and frustrated.
Not being needed is not only the greatest contempt, but also a sign that she is cheap or even worthless.
Cheap and worthless things are usually swept into the trash or sent out as waste.
It's no wonder that Pei Shisanniang thinks too much. Now her fate is in the hands of Jiangzhou's new governor, Ouyang Rong.
In Jiangzhou officialdom and Jiangnan Dao officialdom, discerning people all agreed that she and Shen Bingqiang, a group of wealthy businessmen from the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce, were the winners of the battle over the location of the Giant Buddha, and were Ouyang Lianghan's trophies.
Let him handle it.
So for the time being, no colleagues came to add insult to injury and take advantage of her; so after leaving the Procuratorate, everything was calm. Jiangzhou Governor's Office and Jiangzhou Hall returned all the properties under her name in full, as if nothing happened... …
But smart people all know whose label she is now stamped on, just like the fresh pork leg at the Caishikou pork stall, stamped with the stall owner's seal.
The formation of this tacit understanding is actually very simple.
That day, the person who helped Pei Sanniang and others go through these procedures and send them safely out of the Supervisory Yuan was Yan Liulang, a member of the Judicial Service of Jiangzhou.
Everyone knows whose confidant Yan Canjun is.
Everyone understands this tacitly.
Previously, the backers of Pei Shisanniang, Shen Bingqiang and other merchants in Xunyang were Wang Lengran, the governor of Jiangzhou, and Lang Lincheng, the Xiaguan Lingtai who supervised the construction of the Xingzifang Buddha.
During those days, under the leadership of Pei and Shen, the power of the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce rapidly expanded in Jiangzhou, a major water transport and trade state in the south of the Yangtze River, and even swallowed up most of the land in Xingzifang.
It was in the limelight for a while, but it also accumulated a lot of complaints from all sides.
However, they were powerful at that time, so these voices were not heard and were suppressed to death.
But privately, I don't know how many people I have formed conflicts with, and it may even be just the jealousy of my colleagues who don't like it.
It's a pity that the flowers are blooming and the fire is cooking the oil.
This is the fate of these white-glove businessmen. Once their backer falls, if they don't immediately climb up to a new backer, they will be fat and anyone can take a bite of them.
At present, Vice Chairman Shen Bingqiang was buried with Wei Shaoqi, Wang Lengran, and Lin Cheng. Pei Shisanniang, who survived alone, was not only released safely, but also was safe after all her property was recovered safely. All alive till now.
If the face of Jiangzhou's new leader hadn't come into play, would everyone think they were vegetarians?
Even though the new acting governor's image in front of the public has always been that he is kind and loving to the people, and he has a clean mind, everyone initially acquiesced to this convention.
If it is discovered, the new governor Ouyang Lianghan is really just letting Pei Sanniang go in a formal manner and returning the property in the normal process.
Everyone was filled with admiration, and they were sure to strike faster and more ruthlessly than the last.
Pei Shisanniang and the Yangzhou Chamber of Commerce have lost their big backers. Not to mention the female officials with imperial titles in the Supervisory Yuan, any small official in the transportation department at Xunyangdu Wharf can take a huge amount of money and find them.
There was a reason to block the ultimatum, preventing her from safely evacuating Xunyang City...
It is precisely because she understands the logic that Pei Shisanniang is so panicked when Ouyang Lianghan ignores her in the past few days.
Wherever the surroundings are calm, there are clearly dangers lurking around, and there are evil dragons hidden in the still waters and green pools.
Moreover, when she first woke up in the Control Council, Pei Shisanniang hesitated and struggled before she decided to tell a certain dream to Rong Zhen, the female history officer, in order to pray for the protection of the female history officer of the Control Council.
Looking at it now, it's a pity... No, it's not a pity, it was the blessing of the ancestors. Fortunately, I didn't say it! Otherwise, my life would not have been saved.
Anyway, that evening, after seeing Ouyang Lianghan walk into the ward with a concerned look on his face, Rong Zhennvshi, as the messenger of the saint, had close trust in him and even praised him... Pei Shisanniang, who shut up in a panic, was really frightened.
Fainted.
Not to mention the dream, let’s just say that it was also the scene that impressed Pei Shisanniang the most about that day after she woke up:
That round of "Blue Moon" bypassed her alone and killed Shen Bingqiang, who was not as important as Wei Shaoqi, Lin Cheng, and Wang Lengran, in an instant. Blood spattered all over her face... Take a closer look.
Thinking about it, the only difference between her and Shen Bingqiang is that she didn't offend him, and she even helped support the Xie family's birthday party...
All the clues and judgments were connected in series. After Pei Shisanniang was frightened, she became more and more convinced of a certain truth.
Black, so damn dark.
The deaths of Mr. Wei, Mr. Lin, and those buried with him, including Governor Wang, Shen Bingqiang and others, were not unjust at all.
The methods of this frail young man are simply frightening.
After realizing this, how could Pei Shisanniang not keep secret, how could she not kneel down after leaving the Supervisory Yuan?
She is not a man, she is just a little woman who loves doing business and making money.
But now, she has become a low-key child, but the master has not used her for a long time.
Pei Shisanniang naturally panicked and looked sad all day long.
I even couldn't help but wonder if he thought she was useless and wanted to give her away, for example as a favor... to the noble lady Xie of Chen County to please her noble daughter Xie. It just so happened that the noble lady also
Over in Yangzhou, Xie's Chamber of Commerce business is run.
Of course, this is still a good result. What I'm most afraid of is that... if this master really has business matters and doesn't need her to do anything, then she really won't be able to leave Jiangzhou.
Thinking of this, Pei Shisanniang couldn't help but shudder.
And now, today, the young new master finally called her again and boarded her carriage!
Although... the request is a bit strange.
But it’s also to help him, right?
If you can do things for him, it means you belong to him!
In the luxury car, Pei Shisanniang burst into tears of gratitude. She lowered her head and wiped the corners of her reddish eyes, then covered her mouth, seemingly smiling away.
After receiving his order, he saw the beautiful woman sitting there alone and having fun.
Ouyang Rong looked at her with strange eyes.
Although the crisp sound of wooden fish that continuously sounded in his ears just now confirmed Pei Shisanniang's sincerity of devotion and made him relax a little.
But at this moment, Ouyang Rong couldn't help but wonder in his heart, could it be that this business woman really has Stockholm Syndrome?
Like to find a master?
However, the fact that he is so handsome does give her an advantage, even though he has no such habit at all.
But, respect and understand.
Ouyang Rong sighed and checked the merit value after it rose.
[Merit: One Thousand Nine Hundred and Twelve]
Nothing seems to be going on at the moment, the two people are staring at each other in the luxurious carriage.
Pei Shisanniang asked in a weak voice:
"Excuse me, sir, if you have any other instructions, please don't be polite to me."
Ouyang Rong shook his head and prepared to get out of the car.
"etc."
His face suddenly dawned, and he remembered something. From the baggage he brought with him, he took out a crumpled purple and gold silk, which Pei Shisanniang had left in his carriage before.
Ouyang Rong threw this charming purple and gold silk fabric to Pei Shisanniang.
"Take it and put it on."
Who would have thought that one end of the purple gold silk fabric accidentally fell on her shoulder and neck, and the other end fell on Ouyang Rong's feet.
Both of them were stunned for a moment.
At this moment, Ouyang Rong happened to be sitting upright in his seat, while Pei Shisanniang remained in the same position as lying on the carpet, not getting up yet.
They maintained their standing position, and the atmosphere in the car became silent.
Pei Shisanniang seemed to understand something instantly, her almond-shaped eyes widened, and her round face suddenly turned red.
After three breaths, the beautiful woman slowly lowered her head, raised her hand to grab the purple and gold silk on her shoulders, tied it around her neck several times docilely, and tied it with a loose knot. Then, she walked forward on her knees.
Picking up the other end of the purple and gold silk at his feet, she buried her head deeply, held it in both hands, and handed it to the young man sitting upright above.
Ouyang Rong:......
After a while, a purple and gold silk was thrown out of the car, and it was thrown far away.
The car curtain was opened angrily by a big hand.
Inside the car, a beautiful woman with the blush on her face looked blankly at a young man in scholar's shirt who jumped out of the carriage with a straight face, his back a little hurried.
…
It's approaching evening, by Xingzi Lake.
At the end of an old street, there is a quiet and elegant courtyard.
The quiet courtyard is not far from Chengtian Temple. It is also one of the few courtyards by Xingzi Lake that was not demolished due to the Xingzi Lake construction site.
In the past, the property rights of this courtyard seemed to belong to an official family from another continent in the south of the Yangtze River. They stayed temporarily when they came to Xunyang City to worship Buddha on special days every year.
The courtyard has three entrances and exits. There is also a screen wall and flower screen in the front hall at the entrance, which is engraved with the sounds of birds and flowers. The decoration is quite stylish, reflecting the taste of the original owner.
However, in Ouyang Rong's opinion, the most praiseworthy and satisfactory thing about this home is the steps and the relatively small threshold. It seems that it was specially designed by an elderly couple who were the original owners of the care home.
Now it is convenient for the mute embroiderer to carry out her daily activities.
Ouyang Rong is very satisfied with this hospital. Pei Shisanniang is very reliable and useful. She quickly found such a rare courtyard and completed the check-in procedures in one afternoon...
This business woman's ability is still acceptable, except for the tendency of being a bit masochistic. Otherwise, she would not be able to hold the position of president of a large chamber of commerce, even if her family is rich.
The sun sets in the west and the sun sets at dusk.
The carriage driven by Ali was parked at the entrance of the quiet courtyard. There seemed to be a woman sitting in meditation, waiting for something together.
A carriage covered with precious silk from the Western Regions was also parked in a small alley not far from the quiet courtyard.
In the alley, Ouyang Rong and Yan Liulang took the key and land deed from Pei Shisanniang, thanked him, and turned to leave.
Pei Shisanniang, who was sitting on her knees making tea in the car, opened a corner of the curtain with her little finger and looked curiously at the carriage in front of the quiet courtyard.
In the carriage, there seemed to be a faint sideways shadow of a slender and pretty girl, motionless.
Yan Liulang, who was following Ouyang Rong, suddenly turned around.
His cold look frightened Pei Shisanniang and she quickly put down the curtain, lowered her eyebrows and looked down, not to look at anything inappropriate.
However, in her heart, she was still extremely envious of the young lady whose name and identity she did not know.
It is really a blessing that has been cultivated in eight lifetimes. I can be favored by the young master and take care of him personally...
"Miss Xiu Niang, do you still like me?"
Ouyang Rong walked into the quiet courtyard and smiled at the azure blindfolded girl who turned her head left and right as if "looking around".
"This time I specially picked one with a small threshold to prevent you from tripping."
"OK."
Zhao Qingxiu couldn't sit still. She touched a circle of mahogany furniture in the front and back of the hall, nodding her little head.
Not long after, her slender figure stopped in the open space in the center of the courtyard. In the evening breeze, she pulled back her hair that was flying in the wind around her ears. She spun around in the wind, her skirt whirling, and then slowly stopped, her eyes covered with azure ribbons.
The girl tilted her head slightly and placed her palms next to her ears, as if listening to something.
Ouyang Rong crossed his chest, leaned against the door panel, and watched this scene silently... At this time, Yan Liulang, who was guarding the door, came in. Without squinting, he cupped his fists and whispered:
"In the Ming Dynasty, the abbot of Chengtian Temple came to visit with the monk in charge of Beitian Nursing Home. He said he was concerned about the accommodation situation of the blind and mute girl."
Ouyang Rong raised his eyebrows. In name, this was a routine visit, and it was blameless. The Beitian Nursing Home had to prevent strange men from adopting orphans who were disabled and took poor care of them... But these monks from Chengtian Temple were fawning over each other.
Yes, both parties know it.
Ouyang Rong looked calm, and went out to pick them up. After dealing with it for a while, the abbot of Chengtian Temple and other old monks walked around casually. Of course, they did not dare to make things difficult, and he had already been told by Ouyang Rong to only call him Ouyang Sima throughout the process... Finally
, the two parties had a very happy conversation.
However, while entertaining these monks, Ouyang Rong discovered that there was a short, chubby little novice monk among them. His eyes were often looking in the direction of Xiu Niang, with a chubby face, and he seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Zhao Qingxiu sat on the stone bench, facing the courtyard, motionless, as if in a daze, but at a certain moment, under the caring look of the young novice, she shook her head slightly;
The young novice breathed a sigh of relief, and then his eyes became a little complicated. He quietly looked at Ouyang Sima, who was chatting and laughing with the abbots, with a look of panic and fear in his eyes.
Ouyang Rong greeted everyone with a smile throughout the whole process without showing any signs of strangeness.
Half an hour later, at the entrance of the quiet courtyard, Ouyang Rongmu saw off the group of monks from Chengtian Temple and left. Yan Liulang came closer and asked in a low voice: "Mingfu, something is wrong with that little monk..."
Ouyang Rong shook his head, and Yan Liulang immediately stopped talking and retreated silently. Only Ouyang Rong and Zhao Qingxiu were left in the courtyard.
Without waiting for him to turn around, Zhao Qingxiu went straight into the kitchen, crackling——! Suddenly there was a sound of pots and pans coming from the kitchen door.
Ouyang Rong was stunned, looked at the dim sky, hesitated for a moment, and shouted:
"Miss Xiu Niang, forget it today, my aunt is still waiting for me to go back for the Lantern Festival dinner. She may be very busy in the evening. You have just settled down, so rest first..."
The sound in the kitchen suddenly stopped, and after a while, a girl with a sky-blue ribbon blindfolded her eyes walked out of the kitchen with her head lowered, and stood there, holding a few fingers together.
"Um...ah..." The voice sounded like she agreed, but when Ouyang Rong saw her, she still didn't take off her apron and just stood in front of the door without speaking.
The atmosphere in the hospital became quiet.
At this time, a few fireworks exploded in the sky in the distance, and the lively fireworks of the Lantern Festival began.
But it also highlights the loneliness of this courtyard.
When Ouyang Rong saw her missing little finger, his heart softened and he gritted his teeth and said:
"How about this? You... you wait for me. I'll go back first to finish dinner and take care of things there. Then... stop by at night. How about you make me a midnight snack? Well, there's no curfew anyway, so it's okay then.
Take you out for a walk..."
The girl who was blindfolded with a sky-blue ribbon suddenly had a happy face, and she made a "babble" in her mouth. She ran forward, pushed his back with both hands, and pushed him out the door.
I want him to leave early and come back early.
After Ouyang Rong walked out a few steps, he looked back at the waiting girl who was resting her chin on the stone bench in the courtyard, staring at the fireworks in the night sky... He slightly regretted agreeing in advance.
