A mandarin duck jade hairpin from a period of time.

Pei Shisanniang herself borrowed this mandarin duck jade hairpin from a jewelry store and sold hundreds of them.

The one she is wearing right now is special.

Because the young master threw it to her during the last Lantern Festival, so he kept it.

In addition, Pei Sanniang has also taken off the black gauze she wore on her face for more than half a month.

Thanks to the ointment that the young master silently sent from behind, the red marks on both of her cheeks have largely dissipated, leaving only a little rosiness, which no outsider can tell.

Pei Shisanniang couldn't help but touch her cheek, feeling a little lost.

Pei Shisanniang was not included in this meeting at the governor's office.

She came here early today, and after entering, she went straight to a side hall next to the meeting hall, where she sat down, drank tea, and waited quietly.

This is not the first time Pei Shisanniang has come to this Governor's Mansion.

In her previous words, she had been deceived by lard before, and when she was still a lost lamb, she was used by Wang Lengran and Lin Cheng to cooperate, and she also came to the Governor's Mansion several times.

Even once at the gate of the Governor's Mansion, Pei Sanniang and Shen Bingqiang, who had "sacrificed a heroic sacrifice", met the young master's carriage...

All gone.

But this time she came here, her feelings were really different from those she had experienced before.

In other words, it was turned upside down.

From the moment she got off the carriage at the gate of the Governor's Mansion to the time she arrived at the side hall next to the meeting hall.

The officials at all levels in Jiangzhou she met along the way were all warm and kind to her, and some even had a hint of respect in their smiles.

He also addressed her as President Pei, instead of the previous title of "Mrs. Pei" which favored the weaker wives.

Pei Shisanniang had mixed feelings in her heart, and her waist gradually became straighter.

In fact, the reason for this status difference is very simple.

She is from Ouyang Rong.

All smart people in Jiangzhou official circles knew that she was working for the young governor.

It stands to reason that if a business woman like Pei Shisanniang gets close to a young official, she will definitely have a lot of sexy gossip. Maybe it will be concocted from a teahouse in the market the next day and spread throughout the state.

.

But not this time.

She and Ouyang Rong did not.

Because he is Ouyang Lianghan.

He is a gentleman with a reputation all over the world, a direct minister of this dynasty who refuses to obey orders, and the youngest bachelor of Xiuwenguan.

Everyone knew that it was him who was reforming her, not some bribe.

Ouyang Rong's character style and style do not give this kind of romantic gossip the slightest chance to survive.

And this is indeed the case.

In the side hall, Pei Shisanniang was holding a tea cup in both hands, looking a little lost in thought. Thinking of this, she freed up a hand, touched her right cheek where the palm print on her chin had disappeared, and kneaded it.

The beautiful woman in purple and gold, whose status had undergone earth-shaking changes, sighed lightly for some unknown reason.

The door to the side hall was open, and the morning sunlight falling on the floor at the door slowly shifted.

After waiting for a long time to drink tea, Pei Shisanniang realized that her colleague Wang Caozhi was nowhere to be seen.

It stands to reason that Wang Caozhi would also come from Xunyang Grottoes and wait with her in this side hall for the Young Master's meeting to end.

Strange, where did the person go?

Moreover, I haven't heard anything about the meeting in the conference hall next to it. It seems that it hasn't started yet.

Pei Shisanniang hesitated whether to go out and take a look.

Just then, she heard footsteps coming from the corridor outside.

There was a familiar step among them, the rhythm was fast, and you could tell that the owner of this step was vigorous and resolute. When Pei Shisanniang heard it, she immediately stood up and went out to greet him.

As soon as I reached the door, the team on the corridor had already passed the side hall.

Walking at the front was a young man in crimson official uniform with a tall and straight posture.

The morning sunlight stretched his slender figure on the ground in the side hall.

The handsome side face was covered with a layer of gold rim by the sunlight, as if it was glowing.

Pei Shisanniang was slightly enlightened.

By the time she reacted and came to the door, Ouyang Rong had already passed the door of the side hall. He strode towards the meeting hall in front without looking sideways, without even looking at Pei Shisanniang.

"Sir?"

Pei Shisanniang subconsciously wanted to pursue her, but an upright palm appeared in front of her, indicating that she should not step forward and give in.

"Get out of the way." Someone yelled.

Pei Shisanniang turned around and saw that it was Yan Liulang and Wang Caozhi, plus a team of tall and stern police officers, who were clearing the way for the young master, following closely behind him and strictly prohibiting anyone who blocked the way from approaching.

"President Pei?"

Yan Liulang glanced at Pei Shisanniang hurriedly and realized it was her. He took back his palm, said nothing more, and continued to lead the people to follow.

Wang Caozhi next to him slowed down slightly, looked at Pei Shisanniang's face after taking off the black gauze, and said with a half-smile:

"President Pei's complexion has improved a lot, but it's better to keep the black gauze always on hand, just in case it needs to be used again someday?"

Pei Shisanniang looked away from Ouyang Rong's back in front of her and glanced at the smiling short young man.

She hummed softly.

Although the two of them were working under Ouyang Rong, they had some trouble getting along because they were both merchants and they came in different orders. One considered himself an old man and the other was a newcomer. Naturally, they both looked down on each other.

Wang Caozhi said teasing words, but did not stop for a moment. Pei Shisanniang asked from behind:

"What are you doing, Shopkeeper Wang? Why are you running around?"

Wang Caozhi had already suppressed his smile, ignored the beautiful woman, and quickly followed the team in front.

When Pei Shisanniang saw this, she immediately went out and followed him instead of staying in the side hall.

In front of the door of the conference hall, Chen Shenjun was looking forward to it.

Seeing the arrival of Ouyang Ren and his party, he immediately greeted them: "Mingfu, you are here!"

Ouyang Rong passed by him, tilted his head slightly and asked, "Is everyone here?"

Chen You followed closely behind Ouyang Rong. He was tall and bent slightly: "Everyone is here."

Ouyang Rong said without looking back: "Let's have a cup of tea."

Chen You was just about to say that the hot tea had been poured, but when he was sitting in the seat of the meeting hall, he saw Yan Liulang turning around and leaving, taking a few catchers and a baggage with tea leaves and tea sets to get hot water to make tea.

, looking at their movements, they are very skilled.

Chen You immediately shut his mouth.

Wang Caozhi, Pei Shisanniang and others looked sideways, and they immediately understood that this was a safety measure, especially at this juncture, when such a big shot had to bring his own tea utensils and have a dedicated person inspect them, so nothing could be done carelessly.

They stopped at the door and waited in place, watching Ouyang Rong's back enter.

I saw two soldiers standing in front of the door opening the door, and the young governor strode into the meeting hall.

The officials sitting on both sides of the hall, led by Magistrate Diao who stood up first, all stood up to greet him.

Everyone in the audience looked at him one after another.

Ouyang Rong strode forward, lowering his head slightly, as if thinking about something. Halfway through the hall, he seemed to remember that everyone was still standing. He looked around and said softly:

"Everyone, please sit down."

But no one sat down first.

Wang Caozhi, who was guarding the door, saw that it was not until the young governor sat down that all the officials put their butts on the stools.

After Li Dalang delivered the ginseng soup with a smile, today's discussion began.

After listening outside for a while, Wang Caozhi couldn't help but sigh:

"My brother-in-law's back and aura are so handsome. He is an extraordinary man. This is what a real man should do, swaying vertically and horizontally, scolding Fang Qiu."

He also did not forget to tease Pei Shisanniang behind him:

"President Pei, how can you ladies, ladies and gentlemen, look at such a man and not be obsessed with it? If I were a young lady, I would have thrown myself into my arms long ago..."

After waiting for a while and not hearing the businesswoman's quarrel in response, Wang Caozhi turned around strangely and found that Pei Shisanniang had disappeared.

Before he could think about it, he caught a glimpse of something from the corner of his eye. He turned around and saw Pei Shisanniang's graceful back on the corridor in front, as if she was waiting for something.

At this moment, Yan Liulang returned, holding a bowl of hot tea and happened to pass by the corridor. He was stopped by Pei Shisanniang. She seemed to say a few words. Yan Liulang was stunned for a moment and nodded. Pei Shisanniang was cautious.

Holding the tea cup, he turned back.
