Chapter 644 Don’t bully a virgin! [Please vote for me!]
"Sister, what are you looking at?"
"Shh..."
"Didn't that outpost be demolished? Why are you so excited? Are those detectives here again?"
In the lobby of the quiet courtyard, Fang Shengnan, who was practicing sword dancing, turned back curiously and raised his sleeves to ask Fang at the door.
Fang Jixiu stood behind the closed door, bending slightly and looking through the crack in the door to examine the scene outside.
When questioned continuously by her sister, she kept her back turned and shook her head without answering.
"strangeness."
Fang Shengnan stopped dancing, sheathed his sword, and stepped forward with the sword in his hand.
Two days have passed since the police outpost by Xingzi Lake was removed and the two women quietly went to Chengtian Temple pretending to be pilgrims.
In the past two days, the two sisters from the Fang family did not go out again. They accompanied the virgin Zhao Qingxiu. Except for eating in the evening and going for a walk by Xingzi Lake to eat, everything was as usual.
It's noon now.
Mr. Ouyang usually only comes in the evening, but today he told him in advance that he would come for lunch at noon, so Zhao Qingxiu bought the ingredients in advance and started cooking in advance.
Leaving her sisters in the lobby and living room, she was busy in the kitchen.
Fang Shengnan came to the door with his sword in hand. He first glanced curiously at his sister who was peeking at the crack in the door. She also leaned over, squeezed forward, and both looked through the crack in the door to the outside.
"Hey, Mr. Ouyang? Why don't you come in yet?"
"Shh, keep your voice down." Fang raised his sleeves, frowned, and pinched Shengnan's waist.
"oh oh."
Fang Shengnan looked through the crack in the door and took a few more curious glances, finally understanding what his sister was looking at.
Far outside the yard, a luxurious car was parked, and it was unknown how long it had been parked.
The two women knew each other, including the owner of this carriage with luxurious curtains.
Previously, when Your Excellency Yue Virgin went out to buy fruits, vegetables and cakes every three days, he would be transported back and forth by this luxurious carriage. The mistress of the carriage was a beautiful woman who loved purple and gold silk hanging on the floor. She smiled sweetly and was very friendly to Excellency Yue Virgin.
The Fang sisters and this beautiful woman met several times after picking up and dropping off, but this beautiful woman didn't seem to be very interested in them. She was only familiar with Mr. Yue Virgin, and Mr. Yue Virgin was speechless. Naturally,
There was no way to introduce each other, so the two parties were half strangers.
Fang Shengnan actually curiously asked Zhao Qingxiu who this beautiful woman was. Zhao Qingxiu simply wrote a few words to introduce her, saying that she was Tan Lang's friend, whose surname was Pei. On weekdays, when Tan Lang was away, this Aunt Pei would stand in for her.
He accompanies her to go shopping.
Fang Shengnan and Fang Juxiu just looked at each other and said nothing.
However, compared to Zhao Qingxiu who didn't care much about such minutiae, the Fang sisters were obviously more thoughtful.
After all, the two women were half of the Tiannan Jianghu rebel accomplices. They had brought Yun Meng Ling into Xunyang City before, and even now they were hiding in a quiet courtyard, and by some strange combination of circumstances, they were protected by Master Ouyang.
But after all, we are doing something to kill our heads, and we are in a dangerous situation, so we naturally need to be more cautious.
There are some strangers or abnormalities around you that you need to try to figure out.
It was the same at this moment. Fang Shengnan understood what his sister Fang Juxiu was looking at.
Aunt Pei, who loved the purple and gold silk hanging to the floor, was sitting in the carriage as usual, and her silhouette could only be seen faintly through the gauze-like curtains.
But there was another silhouette inside the car, sitting opposite Aunt Pei.
It's Mr. Ouyang.
She thought for a moment and asked directly, lowering her loud voice:
"Sister, tell me, what's their relationship?"
Fang raised his sleeves and frowned slightly, saying nothing.
Looking at this scene, she didn't know what she was thinking.
After a while, the two girls saw Mr. Ouyang walking out of the luxurious car. Aunt Pei was sitting on her knees in the car. She opened the curtain and waved her hands enthusiastically. She said a few words, as if
It’s the reluctance to say goodbye.
Mr. Ouyang's performance was as indifferent as ever, he just waved his hand and walked towards the quiet courtyard.
Fang raised his sleeves and Fang Shengnan looked at each other, quickly left the door and returned to the lobby...
Backyard, lunch.
At the familiar stone table, Ouyang Rong, Zhao Qingxiu, and the Fang sisters gathered around the table to eat.
"Does Mrs. Fang have something to say? She seems to be hesitant to speak."
Ouyang Rong put down the bowl and asked with a smile.
Fang Jiuxiu, who had already quickly straightened his eyes, chuckled when he heard the words:
"Master Ouyang seems not to be very busy recently."
"Well, I'm not as busy as the previous days."
"What is Mr. Ouyang busy with in the government office on weekdays?"
Ouyang Rong gave Zhao Qingxiu, who was holding a small bowl of rice, a chopstick dish, and said with lowered eyes:
"There are many vacant lots in Xingzifang that were abandoned after demolition of old houses. Mrs. Fang must have seen them before."
"Um."
"I have been busy with this matter for the next few days. On behalf of the Jiangzhou government, I contacted some merchants who own land to deal with these vacant lands for the benefit of the people. I handed over a batch of houses in the past two days, and initial results have been achieved..."
"It turns out that he is in charge of people's livelihood in Xingzifang."
Fang raised his sleeves, nodded thoughtfully, and took a bite of food into his mouth.
Fang Shengnan suddenly interjected: "I heard that the focus of the Jiangzhou government is now on Shuangfengjian. Are you familiar with it, Mr. Ouyang?"
"That's right." Ouyang Rong nodded, with a somewhat suspicious look on his face: "Nvxia Fang suddenly asked why this was done. Did she hear someone say something?"
Fang Shengnan was about to speak, but was pinched by his sister and quickly shut up.
Fang Juxiu shook his head:
"Master Ouyang, don't listen to her nonsense. This girl has been very curious since she was a child. The more taboo things are, the more interested she is. She dares to ask anything.
"There have been some rumors in the city recently, but she was bold enough to ask the young master directly. The young master does not need to pay attention to these."
"It's okay, it's a good thing to be curious."
Ouyang Rong smiled.
Fang Juxiu pondered for a moment and asked:
"I see that every time Miss Xiu Niang goes out, she is picked up and dropped off by a woman named Aunt Pei. This woman... has a good relationship with Mr. Ouyang, right?"
"Um."
Ouyang Rong's answer was relatively brief:
"Mrs. Pei is a wealthy businessman from Yangzhou. A lot of land and houses in Xingzifang are under her name. I have some contact with her due to public affairs."
Fang Juxiu glanced at Ouyang Rong's plain and ordinary blue Confucian shirt, then at the elegant, exquisite and beautiful courtyard, and suddenly said:
"Is this courtyard also under the name of Mrs. Pei?"
"Well, that's right."
Ouyang Rong nodded and didn't hide anything.
Under the watchful eyes of the two sisters, he calmly picked up vegetables and ate.
Fang Juxiu took another look at Ouyang Rong. Fang Shengnan didn't seem to think anything of it and started to praise:
"Brother Ouyang is quite well-connected. As expected, you officials have a lot of people to fawn over."
"Just a minor official."
"Zhima Guan is also an official, and he can be so prestigious in front of the people, which is great." Fang Shengnan nodded and affirmed.
Ouyang Rong smiled helplessly and did not answer.
Just like her sister said, Fang Shengnan had no clue. She was a little dissatisfied with his silent reaction and slapped her sword on the table:
"Hey, Brother Ouyang, you seem to be honest and kind to the embroidered girl. You are warm and considerate. You are not like that evil official. You shouldn't have done anything to bully men and dominate women, right?"
Fang Shengnan looked suspicious and looked at him carefully.
But before she finished speaking, she heard Ouyang Rong say something:
"I dare to bully Xiu Niang every day."
"..." Fang Shengnan.
"..." Zhao Qingxiu.
Fang Shengnan didn't notice that Zhao Qingxiu's head was lowered and her ears were a little red. She looked at Ouyang Rong, who looked flat and wanted to ask, do you know who you are bullying? She is the future Yuanjun, Your Excellency Yue Virgin.
, giving you another hundred years of Taoist skills will not be enough... But receiving the stern look from the other party who raised his sleeves secretly, she suppressed her words.
"It's okay to joke, but you can't really bully me. Miss Xiu Niang is a soft-tempered girl, but my sister and I won't agree to it."
Fang Shengnan waved his fist:
"In addition, Brother Ouyang, although you are a nice person and have entertained me and my sister for so many days, friendship is friendship. You must not become a bad official who preys on the people, do you understand? Otherwise, this heroine will
I won’t spare you.”
Ouyang Rong glanced at her little fist and nodded:
"OK."
Then he said softly:
"Actually, I have always felt that no matter how big or small your official position is, you must do something for the people. Even if the environment is dirty and you can't do it, you must at least have a sense of compassion. This is conscience."
"Master, if you really think so, it is true and kind."
The curve of Fang Shengnan's stern face softened a lot.
Ouyang Rong glanced at this Fang heroine with a strong sense of justice and smiled:
"As expected of Fang Nuxia, it is her duty to eradicate violence and keep good people safe. She is considered a great hero."
Hearing the sentence "The great chivalrous man", Fang Shengnan's eyes lit up and his heart was filled with joy. However, he suppressed the curvature of the corners of his mouth and glanced at his frowning sister. She tried her best to say modestly:
"The great chivalrous person is overrated. In fact, my martial arts skills are not very good and I am still practicing. Although it is easy to defeat a weak scholar like you, but it may not be enough to be seen in the world. This female chivalry
I'm still self-aware, so don't praise me too highly, but you can still call me "Fang Da Nvxia", I can bear it.
"However, my sister and I have recently been striving to join a powerful sect. Once we join, we will learn powerful martial arts. If Brother Ouyang encounters any dark officialdom, just tell me and I will help you to deal with it.
It’s fair.”
Ouyang Rong looked awe-struck: "Definitely."
Fang Shengnan wanted to say more.
However, Fang Juxiu grabbed him under the table and had to shut up.
Not long after, lunch was over.
Ouyang Rong accompanied Zhao Qingxiu to clean up the dishes as usual.
Fang Shengnan and Fang Juxiu actually wanted to help. After all, they were being served by a virgin, so they couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.
However, he was politely declined by Ouyang Rong and Zhao Qingxiu.
The second daughter grew up in a privileged environment, she was the eldest lady, and she didn't know how to wash dishes, so she had no choice but to give up.
But I don't know if it was an illusion, so Fang Juxiu turned back and took another look in the direction of the kitchen.
She found that Mr. Ouyang was very enthusiastic about washing dishes recently.
Every time, I and Mr. Yue virgin go to the kitchen to wash the dishes.
And I just washed the dishes. I even closed the door halfway, so I could only faintly hear the sound of dishes and chopsticks being washed over there.
Another thing worth noting is that Your Excellency Yue Chuzi has been smiling a lot more recently, and his skin is also somewhat radiant.
I don’t know if it’s because he’s in a happy mood, but he’s full of vitality, which is rare. In the past, this little master always had a quiet, melancholic and lonely temperament...
But no matter what, this is a good thing. It’s good to smile more.
Fang raised his sleeves and nodded gently.
"What are you looking at, sister?"
Fang Shengnan turned back curiously.
"Go back to your room."
Fang raised his sleeves and walked towards the west wing, calling his sister back who was as curious as a baby.
"Sister, are you sleepy?"
"Shh."
As soon as the two entered the west wing, Fang raised his sleeves and closed the door tightly, locked it, turned around and scolded:
"Katsuo, please don't say anything nonsense."
"oh oh."
Fang Shengnan happily asked:
"Sister, the martial law has been lifted this time. We have returned the letter and the Yunmeng Token to the senior. What should we do next? Do we have to go back for business?
"Bring back the news about Lord Yue, will we have a chance to join Jianze together?"
She sounded expectant.
Fang Juxiu was silent for a moment and shook his head gently: "That's not what the senior meant."
"Then senior didn't say anything?" Fang Shengnan was puzzled: "He just raised one finger, like a mute."
Fang Juxiu sighed: "But I said nothing. We can't leave yet."
"What's the meaning."
Fang raised his sleeves and pursed his lips, walked onto the bed, prepared to take a lunch break, and started talking quietly.
"Then what happens next..."
"We have to advise on matters involving virginity."
"Actually, I think Mr. Ouyang is quite good. He can also wash dishes and accompany the young master. There are very few men who can cook and pamper women. Our father can't cook, and our mother dislikes him.
"Sister, actually, we can also match them up. The young master will definitely go back, but it's not impossible to bring one more. We just have to work harder and escort more people..."
Fang raised his sleeves and frowned, silently, and another scene of Mrs. Pei sending someone off enthusiastically flashed before his eyes.
"Look again, anyway, the biggest prerequisite for this matter is not to offend the little master. Otherwise, even if we enter Yunmeng, we may be blamed by the little master. We must not do it."
"good."
The two girls said that and fell asleep.
I don't know how much time passed, but Fang Shengnan was drowsy in sleep, dreaming and dreaming, when he faintly heard the clear and crisp sound caused by the intermittent collision of jade stones.
Somewhat familiar.
"Long Ling—Long Ling—Long Ling—"
This familiar crisp sound was very rhythmic at the moment, one after another, sometimes heavy, sometimes light.
"Who..."
Fang Shengnan turned over in a daze and muttered after being woken up.
"Long Ling—Long Ling—"
It was just a nap, but once I woke up, I couldn't catch up on my dreams.
Fang Shengnan opened his eyes, turned his head vaguely, glanced at his sister's sleeping figure, didn't call her, got down, put on his shoes, and walked towards the door.
Fang Shengnan pushed open the door and walked out. The corridor was empty, and the yard was also empty. Only the warm afternoon breeze blew through the leaves.
"Long Ling——"
The soothing rustle of leaves blown by the wind between the sky and the earth has a rhythm that is not consistent with the jade crunching sound that is sometimes light and sometimes heavy. It is obviously not the cause of it.
The wind blew against his face at noon, and Fang Shengnan sobered up a lot. He finally remembered this crisp sound. It seemed to be a white jade hairpin pendant that His Excellency Yue virgin loved. The special crisp sound it made when it hit it was highly identifiable.
"Little Master?"
Fang Shengnan turned his head and cast his gaze in the direction where the rhythmic crisp sound came from... it seemed to be the kitchen.
She rubbed her groggy eyes and walked curiously towards the kitchen. At the same time, she looked up at the sun and saw that noon had passed.
Strange, haven't the young master and Mr. Ouyang finished washing the dishes?
