lying down

"Ah——" Ouyang yawned big, stretched his hands and feet vigorously.Rubbing his eyes, he saw that the sky was not only bright, but almost transparent.

"It's broken! I overslept!", Today is the last day of the holiday, and I still have a lot of things to do: I haven't seen the construction of the restaurant except for the first floor, and the placement of the blacksmith shop on the opposite side has not been completed. I haven't visited the small house I bought, and I haven't arranged for orphans...

Ouyang couldn't help feeling a little regretful, wishing that twelve hours a day could be broken into twenty hours.While muttering and scolding himself for oversleeping, he opened the door and walked towards the main hall.You don't need to wear clothes, they are ready-made, and you haven't taken them off since you came back last night.

"Mother, mother——" Ouyang yelled, and opened the curtain of the main hall, only to find that there were only three girls, Yunniang, Chu Xiang, and Hanxi, muttering there, and the other two girls even touched Chu Xiang from time to time. belly.When Ouyang came in, Chu Xiang was ashamed and blushed.

Yun Niang got up and laughed and scolded: "Stinky boy, do you still know how to get up? You didn't wake up until after noon!"

"Sister, I was exhausted last night, and several bones were broken. You still scolded me. My small body can't bear it!" Ouyang has a thick skin, and Quan pretended not to see the actions of the third daughter just now.Walked up in two steps and sat down on the low stool and chatted with Yunniang.

When the three girls heard the words, they all covered their mouths and laughed.They knew that Ouyang was a rascal, and sometimes they said a few indecent words, which made people laugh non-stop.

Yun Niang laughed for a while, then gave Ouyang a gouged look, turned around and went to the table next to the main hall, picked up a big food plate and said, "Mother is chatting with my mother in the inner room, if you have nothing to do, don't bother me. I know you suffered a lot last night, Here, this is the lunch that I told Jiang Tong to leave for you, you will like it if you have meat or vegetables." She said while carrying it, and started to walk towards Ouyang.

Ouyang's heart was warm, and he thought to himself that it was his sister-in-law who loved him.Smiling, she was about to reach out to take the food plate, but she didn’t want Yunniang to jump away like a frightened rabbit just now, she put the food plate on the low table beside her, raised her eyebrows and urged, “It stinks, what should I eat?” Hurry up and take a shower, you must have slept without washing after coming back last night!"

Ouyang scratched his hair, and felt a greasy feeling on his fingertips. He pretended to pick up his clothes and sniffed them vigorously, and said with emotion: "Sister, it doesn't stink! Smell——"

"Die!" Yunniang blushed slightly, smiled and pointed out, and she was about to point at Ouyang's forehead again.Ouyang had no choice but to run away to take a bath and change into clean clothes.

When they came back for dinner, there were a few more people in the main hall, the old ladies Li Wang, Xiao Zhou, and Chu Tian and Fu Sheng, whose eyes were as red as rabbits.

Ouyang saw the salute, went to the side and knelt down side by side with Fu Sheng, and waited for Yunniang to bring the food plate and start eating.

Chu Tian and Fu Sheng should have just woken up, but they obviously had a bath, clean and tasteless.Ouyang said while eating: "Uncle Chu, I'm going back to the army today, and I'll leave the iron and steel making to you! I have some blueprints of equipment in my room, and I'll send them to you later. After the steel is refined, give me the special equipment and weapons under my command. Please help me to have a look, and I will discuss it with you when I come back in a few days."

Chu Tian nodded and smiled. He didn't know what Ouyang was going to build. Besides, he had seen Ouyang's "talent" in design when he was in Yunzhou before. This time Ouyang gave himself a few similar things in the drawings, but he was very happy for a while.

Seeing that Chutian's side was fine, Ouyang turned to his adoptive mother, Li Wang, and said, "Mother, I'll leave it to you and your two sister-in-laws to take in the orphans. Sister-in-law Xiang is pregnant, so I'm afraid I'll have to work harder for my elder sister. It is difficult to take them in. You might as well see if you can buy some. Both men and women are required. Age, nine to 13 years old is the best. The number of people is 20 men and [-] women, so make up [-] people. And find someone to take care of the opposite and next door as soon as possible. After tidying up the house, the house on the opposite side belongs to Uncle Chu, and the house on the left, if Aunt Xiao likes it, it doesn’t matter if you live in it first.”

He said one thing as soon as he thought of it, expressing all the arrangements in his heart in a hurry, lest he forget it when he left, and it would take another few days.

"My son, it's not a problem to take in or buy it. It's just that a while ago, who can take care of it? What do you want so many people? Fifteen boys, five girls? You're not too old, and you can't do much when you come in. Don’t you eat food for free?” The old lady asked after thinking about it, Ouyang would tell her about everything, but she knew that Hachiro had decided on many things and it was a firm decision, and he had his own reasons.It's just that so many children come in at once, but I don't know the reason.

The others were all on the same mind, and they didn't understand what Ouyang meant by this move.

Ouyang glanced at everyone, put down the chopsticks he just raised, and said with a smile: "There is no other reason. If you are too old and have a mature mind, it is difficult to discipline if you are not good at education. I want people of this age to teach Some of their knowledge, among them, I will make good use of the excellent ones no matter whether they are in business, the army or others. Those with poor qualifications can stay at home to run errands, and they can also cultivate a loyal and usable person. Besides, now that our family is here, It's too troublesome for everyone to do chores, and I can't let the two sister-in-laws do everything, in the future, it's just them talking about it, and others will do the errands."

Ouyang knew what he meant by "buying". The "handmaiden" in the Tang Dynasty was a kind of slave, whose life and death were controlled by the master. In the early Tang Dynasty, there were still "parts" and "Kunlun slaves" The existence of these people, not to mention the children whose family members were sold by officials after breaking the law, are all slaves.He did not hold high the banner of "human rights" stupidly, let alone say anything about it. Since ancient times, even in his time, has there ever been real human rights and fairness?

The phrase "Natural selection, survival of the fittest" is enough to explain the existence of classes of all kinds of animals and plants. Since he came here, he must abide by the rules of the game here until he has the ability to formulate or change the rules one day. Will consider whether to touch the existence of this "slave".

The two old ladies are people who have seen a lot of things, and they nodded from time to time when they heard Ouyang's words.Mrs. Xiao Zhou patted Mrs. Li's hand and praised: "Balang is really kind-hearted. He is thoughtful inside and out. You are really lucky."

Li Wangshi smiled happily, turned to Ouyang and said, "Mother is worrying about you, and your sister-in-law Yun is also worrying about you. Don't worry."

Yun Niang had already laughed and talked there, and she couldn't help being happy when she heard Ouyang's words that she felt sorry for herself and Chu Xiang.Following Li Wang's words: "You and your elder brothers can work in the military camp with peace of mind. Just rest assured about the family affairs. My sister will let you know if there is anything she can't control. You don't need to worry about the rest."

Hearing this, Ouyang was half relieved.Nodded and quickly started to eat, if you don't eat, Wu Zang Temple will protest.

It wasn't until Ouyang Lin went to the barracks that he hurried to the restaurant to take a look.The craftsman skills of this era are really rare. The parts that don’t need iron nails are wooden sockets, not to mention carving and building. They have completed the things they ordered to [-]%, and they only need to carve and carve carefully before they can call it a day. .He only pointed out a few places that needed to be changed, and all others were approved. He praised the craftsmen a few words, ordered the wages to be paid in time, and then hurriedly turned to Bingzhou Daying with his seven brothers.
