No, gentlemen also guard against

Chapter 583 How to skillfully hide a beautiful woman in a golden house [ask for monthly tickets! ]

Ouyang Rong touched his chin.

After all, it was the first time to "hide a beauty in a golden house", so I was a little unexperienced.

Today, I was almost bumped into by my "cheap brother-in-law" Wang Caozhi.

Although it was also due to Yuan Huaimin's heartless big mouth, some problems were still exposed.

For example, there is still room for improvement in terms of personnel selection.

For example, if we now introduce Pei Shisan Niang, who is also a businessman, and then look at the anxious reactions of Wang Caozhi and others below, he will immediately realize that this is a good means of checks and balances.

This is not to say that grain merchants such as Wang Caozhi are not united with Ouyang Rong.

No.

Rather, it means that the people under his command should not be allowed to form a complete group, otherwise sometimes the interests of their small group will in turn hold him hostage and affect him.

Wang Caozhi always liked to call him brother-in-law. Regardless of Ouyang Rong's likes and dislikes, Wang Caozhi used this to get closer to him and regard himself as a direct descendant.

Among them, the two's initial interest connection was Xie Lingjiang, or the Chenjun Xie family.

Wang Caozhi appeared to be smiling playfully on the surface, but Ouyang Rong could see that he was actually very arrogant.

The reason why he was convinced and joined the partnership in advance was that Ouyang Rong had done a great job since he came to Longcheng, which impressed him.

Also because Ouyang Rong was Xie Xun's favorite disciple and also Xie Lingjiang's senior brother, when he later arrived in Xunyang City, he also received high-profile endorsement from the Xie family of Chenjun - he was the designated son-in-law of the Xie family.

This is a golden signboard in addition to outstanding personal abilities.

As a descendant of the Wang family, Wang Caozhi was convinced by this. Only a poor scholar who could marry a noble lady from the Xie family could make a descendant of a noble family like him sincerely convinced.

At the same time, the same was true to a greater or lesser extent for the other big businessmen behind him who were involved in the Zheyi Canal and Xunyang Grottoes.

If it weren't for Wang Caozhi being the leader, or if it weren't for being on good terms with the Xie family of Chenjun, or if it was simply a white glove business of the Xie family of Chenjun, it would have invested in it early on when the Xunyang Grottoes were started and raising funds.

To make an analogy, in short, junior sister Xie Lingjiang, mentor Xie Xun, and Xie Xue'e who represents the direct line of Chenjun Xie family, are the original shareholders when Ouyang Rong started his business!

To put it in a more fashionable way in the previous life, he was an angel investor, and Xie Lingjiang directly brought capital into the group.

Of course, this does not mean that Xie Lingjiang, Xie Xun, and Xie Xue'e can teach Ouyang Rong how to do things and control him.

There's no control over it at all, and there's no need to do so.

Not to mention Xie Xun and Xie Lingjiang, father and daughter, even the nosy noblewoman Xie Xue'e was well aware of the taboo of this matter. For a man like Ouyang Rong who was decisive, strong and opinionated, she could only persuade him but not teach him.

Moreover, if Ouyang Rong and Xie Xue'e have some disagreements, Wang Caozhi and others will probably not stand on the side of Chenjun Xie's...

Because he came from Longcheng, Ouyang Rong's prestige was built up by the trust accumulated from his repeated victories.

However, if it involves matters between men and women in the harem.

If someone or something threatens Xie Lingjiang's position as the queen, Wang Caozhi and others will definitely stand on Xie Lingjiang's side.

And it's not just Ouyang Rong's cooperating merchants such as Wang Caozhi.

Including Yan Liulang, Diao County Magistrate and other subordinates who followed Longcheng all the way, they all respected and recognized Miss Xie.

The same is true for Xunyang Prince Li Xian and Crown Prince Li Dalang. As for Li Guoer, it should be the same, after all, she is a half-best friend. By the way, there is also Aunt Zhen Shuyuan, who is also very satisfied with Xie Lingjiang.

Seeing this, it was numb that Ouyang Rong was surrounded by "Junior Sister's people".

Of course, Yan Liulang is a little special. He has a lord-friend relationship with Ouyang Rong. He honestly serves as an execution tool and never interferes in the private affairs of the Ming Mansion.

But looking at it as a whole, Xie Lingjiang is definitely a transcendent existence beside Ouyang Rong. He calls him "Big Brother, Big Brother" every day, but everyone knows that the title may become two words one day.

It's just that Xie Lingjiang admired and respected his elder brother very much. He kept to himself and did not oppose his elder brother at all, nor did he interfere with his decisions.

She was even the first one to stand up and support every time.

Including accompanying Ouyang Rong back to Xunyang City overnight from the southwest front.

We share the same ideals.

But Xie Lingjiang’s influence on Ouyang Rong’s subordinates should not be underestimated.

It can also be said that the more virtuous and helpful Xie Lingjiang is, the more firmly entrenched her status as the first wife is in the eyes of the public.

I don't know if my aunt Xie Xue'e gave me any advice...

An example of this is last night when Ouyang Rong was called away by Rong Zhen and Xie Xue'e sent Wang Caozhi to follow him.

Before returning home last night, Wang Caozhi patted his chest in front of Ouyang Rong and promised that he would not say anything nonsense about his good brother-in-law and another woman's suspected shopping parade. But who knows, after returning, this guy might give another tactful explanation in front of Xie Lingjiang and Xie Xue'e.

Moreover, Wang Caozhi helped him to hide the matter. It is very likely that he felt that Ouyang Rong really had nothing in common with Rong Zhen, so he decided not to say anything and escalate the conflict.

But at this moment, if Wang Caozhi had discovered the matter of the embroiderer just now, then the nature of this matter would be completely different, as the model brother-in-law had kept another woman outside and had a "secret concubine in a golden house".

Ouyang Rong was not sure whether he could shut Wang Caozhi up.

The shock and impact caused by this... He was not actually mainly worried about his junior sister. After all, she had known for a long time that he had a child bride. It would not be difficult to reconcile the situation, and he could convince his aunt to take the embroiderer back as a family member first... Although it seemed that there were still some grudges about the childhood incident.

But I was afraid that if I scared the embroiderer away unilaterally, then it would be all over. The embroiderer didn't seem to want to see my aunts and the others, and didn't want too many people to know her.

Even Ouyang Rong had to go around in circles and settle her in a quiet courtyard where no one would disturb her, just like raising a shy kitten...

In short, Pei Shisanniang, as a newcomer, played a prominent role at this moment.

She was not influenced by her junior sister's friendship, and naturally did not get along with Wang Caozhi's group of merchants.

This kind of clean background is exactly what Ouyang Rong needs at this moment.

The most important thing is that Pei Shisanniang can only cling to his thighs in Xunyang City...

Inside the luxurious carriage, Ouyang Rong frowned as he lowered his head in deep thought.

He rubbed the right side of his cheek.

At this time, Pei Shisan Niang boarded the carriage leisurely and asked carefully:

"Why are you frowning, sir? Did Shopkeeper Wang say something about my business that has caused you trouble?"

She said in a low voice, "That's true. At the beginning, I was bewitched and helped the tyrant to do evil... It's normal for Manager Wang to dislike me."

"It's not this matter, Madam Pei, there's no need to think too much about it."

Ouyang Rong raised his eyelids and glanced at Pei Shisan Niang, but did not say anything. Wang Caozhi actually wanted to share with him some experiences on how to train mature women in depth, but he righteously refused.

Ouyang Rong groaned: "Mrs. Pei did a good job this time."

"Thank you for your compliment, it is my honor to be able to share your worries."

Pei Shisanniang's eyes lit up with joy.

Ouyang Rong glanced at her and suddenly asked:

"What was the dream you were going to tell Ms. Rong about when you first woke up?"

Pei Shisanniang's body froze for a moment, and after a while, she whispered, "Sir, I don't dare to think about it anymore, and I almost forgot about it..."

He uttered a word calmly: "Speak."

"Okay." She lowered her head obediently: "I...I dreamed of a blue moon, and I also dreamed that under the moon there was a... a..."

Ouyang Rong leaned forward and narrowed his eyes: "One what?"

Pei Shisanniang raised her head, her face full of seriousness: "A figure that is extremely tall, upright, and handsome."

Ouyang Rong:......

About half a quarter of an hour later, Ouyang Rong jumped off the carriage.

He waved his hand behind him and sent away Pei Shisan Niang, who was ready to see him off respectfully.

The dream was finally clarified. The beautiful woman did not have any concrete evidence. It was just a dream that expressed her subconscious. It was useless even if she reported it to Ms. Rong. Although it seemed that she was very superstitious about the dream and believed it without a doubt. Later, Ouyang Rong used both kindness and force, and used Wang Cao to beat Pei Shisanniang. The crisp sound of the wooden fish in her ears proved that she had no other intentions.

Ouyang Rong let her pass and let her be in charge of Xingzifang from now on. Pei Shisanniang burst into tears of gratitude again and expressed her loyalty wholeheartedly...

"Just like that prince, you both like to dream, right? But... it's pretty accurate. He is indeed handsome and extraordinary."

After a little complaint, he walked into the quiet courtyard.

"Longling——" The crisp sound of jade attracted a lonely and slender figure in the courtyard to stand up.

Seeing her quietly basking in the sun in the yard, Ouyang Rong suddenly felt relaxed.

"Why don't you eat?"

He walked closer, glanced at the food box brought by Yan Liulang on the table, and asked in a concerned tone.

Zhao Qingxiu grabbed his hand and lowered his head to write:
【Didn’t the young master ask me to cook?】

Ouyang Rong slapped his forehead and coughed to make amends: "Today is an exception. I want you to sleep a little longer. After all, you came back so late last night."

"Ah."

Zhao Qingxiu smiled lightly, with a dimple on her cheek, and stopped writing. She gently slapped away his hand that was reaching for the food box. She carried the food box to the kitchen, added firewood to the fire, and prepared to heat up the food.

Ouyang Rong turned around and went out to find Pei Shisan Niang.

"Is this yard under your name?" he asked.

Pei Shisan Niang nodded hurriedly: "Yes. Sir, would you like me to go there..."

"No need. Just keep it under your name. If someone else asks about her, do you know how to answer?" He asked with his eyes lowered, and turned aside the door that was blocking the entrance.

This time, there was no taboo about letting Pei Shisan Niang see Zhao Qingxiu.

Pei Shisan Niang looked up timidly and quickly glanced at this courtyard that she had previously thought was extremely mysterious. She immediately saw a virtuous figure busy in the kitchen.

"Let's say... this noble lady is my niece?" she asked tentatively.

Ouyang Rong nodded: "Oh, your niece, so that's how it is."

Pei Shisan Niang was slightly stunned and couldn't help laughing. At this time, Ouyang Rong ignored her, turned and went into the kitchen, helping Zhao Qingxiu bring the heated dishes to the open-air stone table one by one.

After sniffing the aroma of the rice, Ouyang Rong pinched a piece of meat with his fingers and put it in his mouth, but Zhao Qingxiu slapped his hand away and pushed him on his back to wash his hands. Ouyang Rong grinned.

The two sat down at the table to eat. Pei Shisan Niang stood guard at the door and did not look at them at first.

Later, I couldn't help but glance at the two people who were quietly eating simple meals not far away.

Especially the look he gave to the blindfolded, pretty mute girl was very complicated, mixed with envy and surprise.

This girl looked pitiful and blind, but she was really blessed. She could make the governor of a state, the scholar of Xiuwen Academy, and the guest of Xunyang Palace, who was rumored to be a guest, come to eat with her on time in the middle of the day, and even order him to serve her the plate and wash her hands...

Zhao Qingxiu suddenly stood up, groped forward, and handed a bowl of hot white rice to Pei Shisanniang, who had a dazed look on her face.

The beautiful woman at the door was immediately flattered: "Thank you very much, sir."

Zhao Qingxiu pulled her sleeve. Pei Shisanniang glanced at Ouyang Rong's expression, but found that he was concentrating on eating, as if he didn't care about anything.

Pei Shisan Niang timidly followed Zhao Qingxiu and sat down at the table with half of her buttocks resting on the stool. She held the bowl in a proper posture and ate rice in small bites, glancing to the side from time to time.

Ouyang Rong took a bite of food and said without raising his head: "Why are you looking at me? Is there something on my face?"

"No, it's just that my lord's kindness is increasingly difficult to repay." Pei Shisan Niang said seriously.

Ouyang Rong said without even raising his eyelids: "Why should you report to me? The embroiderer's meal was treated to you by her. You should report it to her according to etiquette."

"Yes, yes, yes." During the meal, Pei Shisan Niang kept glancing at the pretty girl's eyes covered by the ribbon.

Zhao Qingxiu seemed to sense something and tilted her head to look: "Ah ah?" as if she was puzzled by her abnormality.

Just as Ouyang Rong was about to raise his head, Pei Shisan Niang immediately praised:

"The jade hairpin on Miss Xiu Niang's head is so beautiful. Was it a gift from your sweetheart?"

Zhao Qingxiu bent her neck and lowered her head, her little face almost buried in the bowl in her hands, her ears turned red.

Ouyang Rong picked up a piece of food for her and said calmly, "Don't talk while eating."

Pei Shisan Niang immediately lowered her head and ate her meal.

After lunch, Pei Shisan Niang tactfully left. Ouyang Rong took the initiative to go into the kitchen to wash the dishes, but was driven out by Zhao Qingxiu.

At the kitchen door, she grabbed his handwriting and wrote:

[She seems to be very afraid of the young master]

"I owe her money, so of course she's afraid that I won't pay it back. Don't be polite to her. Ask her for help. If you need anything, just tell her. Put it on my account."

Ouyang Rong spoke casually and with reason.

Zhao Qingxiu nodded subconsciously, and then her face looked a little confused. How come it was the uncle who owed the money?

After walking around the yard and finding nothing to do, Ouyang Rong said hello and left the quiet courtyard...

Xunyang Palace, study.

Ouyang Rong found Li Dalang and asked him directly about Li Guoer's dream.

"Amei's dream? I've never heard her mention it, let alone heard of her asking any master to interpret the dream..." Li Dalang was completely confused.

"Perhaps Your Highness is joking." Ouyang Rong said calmly, without asking any more questions, and returned to the Huaiye Lane mansion.
In the study of Yinbingzhai, Ouyang Rong took out the relic midnight pearl again and looked at it carefully. After a while, he walked to the wardrobe and opened the door.

"Hey, do you have anything you want to say to Xiaoxuan? Write it down and send it along."

Miaosi turned over and changed to a comfortable position, with his butt facing someone, and muttered lazily:
"Write this letter to me, saying that you abused me, and ask her to come and rescue me as soon as possible."

"Are you sure you're not picking up a little ancestor?"

"Your ancestor."

“He is indeed quite old.”

"You!" The little black spirit immediately straightened up his upper body and regained his consciousness.

But with a "bang", someone slammed the cabinet door and turned around to write a letter.

Ouyang Rong wrote a letter, sealed it with wax, and sent it to Shangqing Sect. There are some things...why not ask Xiaoxuan.

She is now a direct disciple of the Shangqing Sect's Patriarch Hall.

In the study, Ouyang Rong continued to pick up the night pearl and look at it carefully. The sunlight passed through the pearl, and the light became hazy. He felt vaguely familiar with it, but after thinking for a while, he still had no clue, and it did not trigger any blessings.

Some things are like this, when you don’t think about them, they come by themselves, but when you think about them carefully, you forget them.

"Am I overthinking it? Is this just a dream?"

Ouyang Rong shook his head, put away the night pearl temporarily, took out a string of ordinary Buddhist beads from the cabinet, put them on his palm to play with, and strode out.

Ouyang Rong planned to go to Xunyang Grottoes in the afternoon. Most of the female officials of the Supervisory Office were guarding there.

Deputy Supervisor Song and Ms. Rong were also sitting next to the Buddha head. The Supervisory Office in the city was almost empty.

Therefore, Ouyang Rong had to check on him often and give some advice. As one of the most wanted "traitors", it was not excessive for him to always be aware of the progress of his wanted case. He couldn't be arrested without knowing why.

But with that rigid Nanny Song around, every time Ouyang Rong goes there, he has to bring this little thing that grants him immunity from death, which was given by the current sage...

What a hell joke.
