By the time he left the dojo, it was already four in the afternoon. After passing through the plaza in front of the mansion, the construction department was already building a new office for the public order department.
Ouyang Shuo went to look for Gu Sanniang when he returned to the mansion. As the chef of the mansion and the close friend of the lord's sister, Mu Qingsi, Gu Sanniang played the role of the mansion's housekeeper.
Ouyang Shuo didn't put on the airs of a lord in front of Gu Sanniang. He said warmly, "Sanniang, our courtyard is getting bigger and bigger. We can't let you do all the work alone. I think it's better to hire two more odd-job workers. At the same time, find a maid for Ying You and Qing Er to take care of their daily needs. "
Gu Sanniang smiled. "I'm still busy right now, but I'll do as you say, my lord. I'm sure there will be many people applying for the position. As for a maid, don't you need one for you? My lord, you're busy with work, and you need someone to serve you tea. "
Ouyang Shuo waved his hand. "I don't need one. You have to remember, the maidservants you hire must be honest and dutiful. I don't want to disturb the peace of the backyard because of such a small matter. "
"Understood. Even if my lord didn't say so, I would have taken care of it. "Gu Sanniang nodded.
"Then I'm relieved. Go do your work!"
Ouyang Shuo returned to his office and picked up a copy of the Guide to Governance Encyclopedia, reading it with great interest. Suddenly, a system notification broke his train of thought.
System Notification: Congratulations to player 'Not Saying That Has No Clothes'. After reading continuously, your Perception has increased by 1 point.
This was a pleasant surprise. Ever since he started in the Level 2 village, Ouyang Shuo had read many ancient books. His hard work paid off, and he had finally increased his Perception by one point.
Remembering that he hadn't checked his stats for a long time, he decided to take a look.

Come to think of it, it was a waste of the equipment he had on him. Ever since the defensive battle in the territory, he hadn't been in a battle. He had been holed up in the territory all day, and his body was about to rot.
Seeing the Barbaric Set, Ouyang Shuo remembered that when Qing 'er had been promoted to Master Tailor, she hadn't given him the leather armor made from the boss's fur. This little girl was so heartless. She didn't know how to take the initiative to give it to him. Even if he couldn't use it, he could give it to the generals in the army.
"Big brother, it's time to eat!" Qing 'er shouted from outside. Speak of the devil.
"Qing 'er, come in."
The little girl skipped into the office and muttered, "What are you doing?"
"What are you doing? Let me ask you, after I gave you the fur that the boss dropped, why didn't you give me anything back? "Ouyang Shuo glared at her.
This little girl wasn't afraid of him at all. She said sneakily, "Hehe, big brother is so stupid. You only remembered to ask for equipment now. I've been waiting for you to ask. "
Ouyang Shuo slapped his forehead and said helplessly, "So you didn't forget. Why didn't you give it to me? It's been almost a week. "
"Hmph, big brother, don't forget. You haven't paid me the processing fee. How can I give you the equipment?" the little girl said confidently.
This little money grubber. Why didn't he realize that Qing 'er had such a special trait before? "Didn't big brother give you a Dark Gold Tailor's Toolkit? What else do you want?"
"How can that be the same? The toolkit is the reward you promised me for getting promoted to Master. You can't deduct the processing fee!" This little girl was quite clear-headed. It wasn't easy to trick her.
Ouyang Shuo gave in to this little money grubber. "Fine, fine, fine. How much processing fee do you need? I'll give it to you now. Remember to bring me the equipment tomorrow."
"Hehe, it's not more, not less. Two gold coins!"
Ouyang Shuo took out two gold coins and handed them to the little girl. He said dotingly, "Let's go, little money grubber. Let's go eat."
The little girl giggled as she put the gold coins into her purse. She skipped after Ouyang Shuo like a little fox that had won.
After eating, Ouyang Shuo returned to his bedroom in the backyard and went offline.
In reality, it was already the 28th of the lunar calendar. The night after tomorrow was New Year's Eve. Ouyang Shuo thought that he should go out and buy some New Year's goods. Otherwise, it would be too late. When he returned from his run, Bing'er still hadn't woken up. The little girl was really tired yesterday. He wondered if he should go out and buy New Year's goods by himself today.
After putting down the breakfast he bought, Ouyang Shuo walked into Bing'er's room. He opened the curtains. The winter sun was very warm. Under the sunlight, Bing'er opened her eyes in a daze. She murmured, "Big brother is bad. Bing'er still wants to sleep …"
Ouyang Shuo pinched her little face and said, "Baby, although it's winter break, you can't sleep in every day. You went to bed so early last night. If you don't wake up soon, your head will hurt. "
Only then did the little girl reluctantly get up. She put on her cute little slippers and went to wash up.
During breakfast, Ouyang Shuo mentioned to Bing'er that he was going to buy New Year's goods. "Baby, you were really tired yesterday. Today, big brother will go buy New Year's goods by himself. Can you stay at home by yourself?"
When she heard that she was going out, the little girl's eyes lit up. She shook her head like a rattle drum. "Bing'er is not tired. Bing'er wants to accompany big brother to buy New Year's goods. Bad big brother can't let the cute Bing'er stay at home alone."
He really didn't know what to do with this little monkey. He thought about what he did in his previous life. He was tormented by Qing'er in the game and then pestered by Bing'er in reality. These two younger sisters were adorable, but neither one of them was easy to deal with.
Walking on the traditional New Year's goods street in Jiaozhou, there was a dazzling lineup of all kinds of New Year's goods. On both sides of the street, there were festive red lanterns and all kinds of China knots. A strong atmosphere of New Year's goods assaulted one's face.
New Year's was inseparable from the word "food". Food was a big part of the New Year's goods. Traditional eggs, crispy nuts, rice cakes, fried dumplings, as well as Jiaozhou people's favorite food, beef ear dumplings, smiling dates, and almond cakes were the best food to evoke people's memories of New Year's.
In the shops on both sides of the street, there was an endless stream of people who came to buy New Year's goods.
Compared to Ouyang Shuo's love for traditional food, Bing'er obviously liked sweets more. There were hundreds of kinds of sweets, such as crisp candies, fruit candies, chocolates, jellies, and lollipops. The little girl was dazzled and wanted all kinds of sweets. Fortunately, the merchants were considerate and allowed all kinds of sweets to be mixed and matched. Otherwise, it would be really hard for the little girl to choose.
In addition to these finished products, Ouyang Shuo also had to prepare some dry goods for the New Year's Eve dinner. Dried oysters, dried prawns, mushrooms, squid, scallops, and other ingredients were all ingredients that he had come up with. In addition to these, he also spent a lot of money to buy a lot of high-grade dry goods such as flower gums, fish maws, sea cucumbers, and so on.
Of course, in Lingnan, how could the New Year's Eve dinner not have a trace of preserved food? In addition to traditional sausages, preserved duck kidneys, gold coin slices, duck intestines, and soy-flavored preserved meat were absolutely a must.
After buying all these miscellaneous food, Ouyang Shuo's hands were already carrying five or six big and small bags. This was not the end. For the New Year, of course, there were things like Spring Festival couplets, China knots, and zodiac dolls.
Just as the brother and sister walked out of the food shop, they heard someone shouting behind them. Ouyang Shuo turned around and saw two girls waving at him from not far away. When he looked carefully, it turned out to be his middle school classmates, Tan Xiaoli and Meng Feifei.
Girls really changed eighteen times between womanhood and womanhood. The little girl from middle school had already grown into a slender and elegant woman. If it wasn't for Ouyang Shuo's amazing memory, he really wouldn't have been able to recognize them.
Ouyang Shuo held Bing'er's hand and walked forward to greet the two. Tan Xiaoli was a slightly plump girl with a cheerful personality. Meng Feifei was petite and exquisite, and had a shy personality. She was a little shy and couldn't let go.
"Hey, old classmate, after so many years, you're still as handsome as ever!" Tan Xiaoli said with a smile.
Ouyang Shuo was no longer a virgin like he was in middle school. At that time, he would blush when talking to girls. "Don't say that, I'm still the same. On the other hand, the two beauties are becoming more and more beautiful. "
Tan Xiaoli's eyes lit up, "Hey, the little girl from back then has become a smooth talker. She even dares to tease big sister." Glancing at Bing'er beside her, she hesitantly asked, "This cute little girl, she can't be your daughter, right?"
Ouyang Shuo coughed, "What are you talking about, this is my little sister, Ouyang Bing."
This couldn't be completely blamed on her. After all, when Bing'er was born, he was already in the third year of middle school. Most of his middle school classmates didn't know that he had a little sister. Thanks to the advancement of modern medicine, women can freely choose their childbearing age. It was very common for families to have a second child at the age of 34.
"Oh right, this class reunion has been confirmed to be on the fourth day of the first month. Will you go?" Tan Xiaoli asked.
"I should go. I haven't seen you for a long time. It's not bad to get together."
"That's good. This street is not a good place to chat. Let's meet at the reunion!" Tan Xiaoli was a straightforward person. She pulled Meng Feifei and prepared to leave.
Ouyang Shuo naturally couldn't ask for more. He still hadn't finished buying his New Year's goods. After saying goodbye to the two, the brother and sister continued their shopping trip.
