When I came out of the martial arts hall, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon before I knew it. Passing through the square in front of the Lord's Mansion, the Department of Construction is already building an office for the newly established Department of Public Security.
Back at the lord's mansion, Ouyang Shuo found Gu Sanniang. As the chef of the lord's mansion and the close friend of the lord's younger sister Mu Qingsi, Gu Sanniang actually seems to be playing the role of the housekeeper of the lord's mansion.
To Gu Sanniang, Ouyang Shuo would not put on airs of a lord, and said cordially, "Sanniang, our yard is getting bigger and bigger, and you can't do all the work by yourself. I think we should hire another one." Two handymen. By the way, find a maid for Yingyou and Qinger to take care of daily life."
Gu Sanniang said with a smile: "I'm still busy now, but I will follow my lord's orders. With the treatment of the lord's mansion, I believe many people will apply for the job. If it is a maid, don't you need to arrange one for your lord? My lord You are busy with business, and you need a caring person who serves tea and water."
Ouyang Shuo waved his hand and said, "I don't need it. You have to remember that the maids you recruit must be honest and responsible. I don't want to disturb the peace in the backyard because of such a trivial matter."
"Understood. Even if the adults don't say anything, I will take care of this." Sanniang nodded.
"Then I don't worry, you go to work!"
Back in the office, Ouyang Shuo picked up a copy of "Zi Zhi Tong Jian" and read it with relish. Suddenly, a system prompt sound broke his thoughts.
"System prompt: Congratulations to the player Qiyue Wuyi, who has improved his comprehension by 1 point through continuous reading."
This was a pleasant surprise. Since the beginning of the second-level village, Ouyang Shuo has also read a lot of ancient books. Finally, his hard work paid off, and he finally improved his understanding value a little.
Thinking that he hadn't checked his personal attributes for a long time, he simply took a look.

Speaking of it, I was really blind to this set of equipment on my body. Since the last territorial defense battle, I have never fought again. I have been nesting in the territory all day, and my body is almost moldy.
Seeing the savage suit, Ouyang Shuo remembered that when Qing'er was promoted to a master tailor last time, he hadn't handed him the leather armor sewed with the fur dropped by the boss. This little girl is heartless, and she doesn't know how to take the initiative to give it to him. Even if he doesn't need it, she can reward it to the general in the army.
"Brother, eat!" Qing'er shouted outside, really saying that Cao Cao Cao Cao is here.
"Qing'er, come in for me."
The little girl bounced into the office and muttered, "What are you doing!"
"What are you doing? Let me ask you, why didn't you give me back the furs dropped by the previous bosses after I handed them over to you?" Ouyang Shuo glared at her.
This little girl is not afraid of him at all now, and said slyly: "Hee hee, big brother is stupid. I just remembered to equip it now, and people have been waiting for you to ask."
Ouyang Shuo patted his forehead and said helplessly, "So you haven't forgotten it, so why didn't you take the initiative to give it to me? It's been almost a week."
"Hmph, big brother, don't forget, you haven't paid the processing fee yet, how can you give the equipment to you!" The little girl said confidently, still plausibly speaking.
This little money fanatic, why didn't he realize that Qing'er still has such qualities, "Didn't the eldest brother give you a set of dark gold-level tailoring kits, what more do you want in return?"
"Then how can it be the same? The tool bag is the reward that you promised to give someone to be promoted to a master. It cannot be deducted from the processing fee!" This girl is quite clear-headed, so it is not easy to fool around.
Ouyang Shuo was convinced by this little money fan, "All right, I'll give you the processing fee, and remember to bring the equipment to me tomorrow."
"Hee hee, no more, no less, two gold coins!"
Ouyang Shuo took out two gold coins, handed them to the little girl, and said dotingly: "Let's go, little money fan, let's eat."
Xiao Nizi put the gold coins into her purse with a smile, and followed Ouyang Shuo bouncingly, like a victorious little fox.
After the meal, Ouyang Shuo went back to his bedroom in the backyard and went offline.
In reality, it is already the twenty-eighth day of the lunar calendar, and the night after tomorrow is New Year's Eve. Ouyang Shuo thought that he should go out and buy some New Year's goods today, otherwise it would be too late. When I came back from the run, Bing'er hadn't gotten up yet. The little girl was really exhausted yesterday, so he wondered if he would just go shopping for new year's goods by himself today.
Putting down the breakfast he bought, Ouyang Shuo walked into Binger's room. Open the curtains of the room, the winter sun is warm. After being exposed to the sun, Binger opened her eyes in a daze, and whispered: "My brother is bad, Binger still wants to sleep..."
Ouyang Shuo pinched her little face and said, "Honey, even though it's winter vacation, you can't sleep in every day. Go to bed so early last night, if you don't wake up again, your head will hurt if you sleep for a long time."
The little girl reluctantly got up, put on her cute little slippers, and went to wash up.
While eating breakfast, Ouyang Shuo mentioned to Bing'er that they were going to buy new year's goods. "Baby, you were so tired yesterday, today my brother went to buy new year's goods alone, and you stayed at home by yourself, okay?"
As soon as she heard that she was going out for a stroll, the little girl's eyes lit up, her little head shook like a rattle, "Bing'er is not tired, Bing'er is going to accompany my brother to buy new year's goods, the bad brother can't let the lovely Binger alone Stay home."
There is really nothing to do with this little monkey, he thought, what evil did he do in his previous life, to be tossed by Qing'er in the game, and to be haunted by Bing'er again in reality. These two younger sisters are cute, but none of them is reassuring.
Walking on the street of traditional New Year's goods in Jiaozhou, you can see all kinds of New Year's goods. Both sides of the street are filled with festive red lanterns and various Chinese knots, bringing a strong New Year flavor to the face.
The Chinese New Year is inseparable from the word "eat", and food accounts for a large part of the New Year's goods. Traditional egg powder, crispy corners, rice cakes, fried dumplings, as well as jiaozhou people's favorite foods, such as cow ears, smiling dates, and almond cakes, are the foods that most evoke people's memories of the New Year.
In the shops on both sides of the street, there is an endless stream of people who come here to buy New Year's goods.
Compared to Ouyang Shuo's love for traditional delicacies, Bing'er obviously likes sweets more. Crisp candies, fruit candies, chocolates, jellies, lollipops and other hundreds of candies make the little girl dazzled, she wants this and that. Fortunately, the merchant is considerate and allows various candies to be mixed and matched. Otherwise, the little girl is really hard to choose.
In addition to these ready-made delicacies, Ouyang Shuo also had to prepare some dry goods for the New Year's Eve dinner. Dried oysters, dried shrimps, mushrooms, squid, scallops, etc. are all ingredients that make up your mind. In addition to these, he also bled a lot and bought a lot of high-end dry goods such as fish maw, fish maw, and sea cucumber.
Of course, in Lingnan, how can there be no bacon on the New Year’s Eve dinner? In addition to traditional sausages, cured duck kidneys, money slices, duck sausages, and soy-flavored pork belly bacon are also indispensable.
After buying these miscellaneous foods, Ouyang Shuo already had five or six bags in his hands. This is not over yet. For the New Year, of course, items such as Spring Festival couplets, Chinese knots, and zodiac dolls are indispensable.
As soon as the brother and sister walked out of the food store, they heard someone shouting from behind. Ouyang Shuo turned his head and saw two girls waving at him not far away. Dingqing saw that it was her junior high school classmates Tan Xiaoli and Meng Feifei.
It's really the Eighteenth Change of Girls' College. The yellow-haired little girl in junior high school has grown into a slim figure. If it wasn't for Ouyang Shuo's amazing memory, she wouldn't be able to recognize her for a while.
Ouyang Shuo took Bing'er by the hand and walked up to greet the two of them. Tan Xiaoli is a slightly fat girl with a cheerful personality. Meng Feifei was petite and dainty, with a shy personality, a bit reluctant to let go.
"Hey, old classmate, I haven't seen him for so many years, but he's still so handsome!" Tan Xiaoli said with a smile.
Ouyang Shuo is no longer the junior brother he was in junior high school. At that time, he would blush when talking to girls, "Well, I'm still the same. On the contrary, the two beauties are getting more and more beautiful."
Tan Xiaoli's eyes lit up, "Hey, the little nender back then has become glib and even dared to tease my sister." Glancing at Bing'er next to her, she asked hesitantly: "This cute little girl, isn't she Will it be your daughter?"
Ouyang Shuo coughed, "What are you talking about, this is my sister Ouyang Bing."
This can't be completely blamed on her, after all, when Bing'er was born, he was in the third year of middle school. Most of the junior high school classmates didn't know that he had a younger sister. Thanks to the development of modern medicine, women can freely choose the age of childbearing. It is very common for families to have a second child at the age of 34.
"By the way, this class reunion has been confirmed to be on the fourth day of the first lunar month, will you go?" Tan Xiaoli asked instead.
"I'll probably go. I haven't seen you for a long time. It would be nice to get together."
"That's good, this street is not a place to chat, let's see you at the party!" Tan Xiaoli was a straightforward person, she pulled Meng Feifei and was about to leave.
Ouyang Shuo naturally wished for it, and he hadn't finished shopping for the New Year's necessities yet. Saying goodbye to the two, the brother and sister continued the journey of sweeping up new year's goods.
