"This is..." Yuan Huaimin was stunned.

"Take it and sneak over here early in the morning. Just remember to feed the horse and you won't eat it yourself, right?"

"Lianghan..."

Half of the cake was warm, and his voice was a little choked.

My friend is still cold-faced and warm-hearted.

"Stop being so stupid, go back and order on time. Also, remember not to mention the cake to anyone in the lobby, especially me and Rong Nushi. This is a disciplinary issue."

Ouyang Rong warned.

"Okay, okay."

Yuan Huaimin nodded gratefully and was about to leave. Suddenly he realized what he was doing and turned around to ask:

"Lianghan, aren't you going back? What are you doing here? Miss Shi, by the way, why are you two here... Didn't you say you are not allowed to run around and do anything unrelated to official duties during duty hours?"

He finally reacted and looked at the two of them and the cake in his hand with a suspicious expression.

Ouyang Rong's stern face:

"I'm not here to catch you. If I don't find you, you will be late. If you don't care, who will care about you? It's really worrying.

"Okay, Rong Nushi and I have something to talk about. This is also business. You should go back to your duty quickly and don't waste time."

"Oh oh oh, okay. Brother Lianghan is really loyal and a good friend of mine."

Yuan Huaimin didn't think much, took someone's leftover hot pie and left with a grateful face.

After he left, Ouyang Rong turned to look at Rong Zhen, then walked to the carriage and brought back a food box.

"Are you not angry when you give the cake you bought to others? In fact, I am full and have some leftover..."

"Everyone eats the same, it doesn't matter."

Rong Zhen curled his lips and said again:

"You have a good relationship with Yuan Sima. He's not even angry when you kick him like this."

"It's okay. Here, here it is."

"This is……"

Ouyang Rong said calmly:

"If you treat me to breakfast, I have to treat you to some in return. I saw that you liked the newly brewed chicken soup, so I stewed some more."

Rong Zhen pursed his lips.

"But while you were making soup, I didn't know that I would buy you cakes this morning."

"They're not all the same."

Ouyang Rong looked confused.

"It is the same?"

"Is it different?"

"Okay, same."

Rong Zhen silently accepted the food box without saying anything else.

The two discussed business matters, but Ouyang Rong found that Rong Zhen's originally harsh tone had softened.

At the same time, the crisp sound of small wooden fish sounded in his ears from time to time.

Ouyang Rong breathed a sigh of relief.

This is a new merit gift package, don’t offend me.

After a while, after the business conversation was finished, and before leaving, Ouyang Rong suddenly called out to the cold and cold girl in palace clothes:

"Rong Zhen, please don't come here again in the morning."

"Oh, okay, if you hadn't told me earlier, there was no need to do so much preparation just now."

She nodded and handed back the chicken soup.

Ouyang Rong shook his head:

"No, what I mean is that it is inconvenient and against the rules for you to come here. You have greater authority, so I should go find you in person."

He touched his chin and sincerely suggested:

"Let's do this. If you have anything to do, don't come over suddenly. I, I will take time to go see you every morning. Let's talk again."

Rong Zhen suddenly stared at his expression and said nothing.

Ouyang Rong touched his face, "Is there something on my face?"

"what ever."

Rong Zhen suddenly turned around and left, but took the box of chicken soup with him.

Before leaving, he left one sentence:

"In the morning, at the second quarter of the first lunar month, the Supervisory Yuan is waiting for you."

"Okay."

Ouyang Rong agreed, and then found that the sound of wooden fish in his ears became louder.

Hey, it’s gone up again?

He glanced at the back of Rong Zhen as he left, and then at Ali who was obediently feeding his horse in the distance, as if he hadn't heard anything.

Finally done!

Ouyang Rong breathed a sigh of relief and left with satisfaction.

However, he did not return to the main hall immediately, but ran to get a pass for his junior sister.

He took it back to the main hall and handed it to the junior sister.

"Why is Senior Brother coming back so late? Does it take so long to apply for a certificate?"

"Go to the stable to get some fodder for Dongmei."

Ouyang Rong said seriously:

"Little junior sister, I don't know. Dongmei has been very tired from pulling carts recently. She needs to eat more and gain some autumn fat instead of being a skinny horse in winter."

Arriving at the spot not far away, Yuan Huaimin, who was quietly eating cakes to replenish his energy at his seat, couldn't help but raise his head and look at the back of a friend opposite.

Ouyang Rong sat down next to Xie Lingjiang and carefully helped her organize her things.

"That's it." Xie Lingjiang smiled lightly, took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat on his neck: "No wonder you sweat so much."

Xie Lingjiang sniffed, pointed at the cuff of his extended palm, and frowned slightly:

"But why are there so many oils on your sleeves?"

"Yuan Sima bought a piece of cake and split half of it when he saw me. It's not easy to shirk it." He sighed.

"Oh, next time you are hungry, tell me and I will bring it to you. We will not eat other people's food randomly, and the cakes on the street are not hygienic. Friends are friends, don't imitate him." She was concerned.

"Okay. Brother Huaimin is actually feeling guilty. He is afraid that I will mark him down for being late. Well, actually it doesn't matter whether he delivers the cake or not. I am not an unreasonable person."

Ouyang Rong frowned and sighed:

"I've told you many times that you can't eat during official business hours. Forget it, let him go. He won't blame him for it."

"Senior Brother, you are so kind." Xie Lingjiang sighed.

"...??" Yuan Huaimin.

Ouyang Rong did not look at his friend with sad eyes behind him and warned him carefully:

"By the way, junior sister, I'm going to Xunyang Ferry later. You can pack up and accompany me there. Since I'm a staff member again, I have to follow closely most of the time and don't waste time. Do you understand?"

"Yeah, I understand. It's all up to you. Do whatever you need to do. Don't let me disturb you. I'll just take a look and help you share the burden..."

"What's the trouble? Junior sister can come and help. I'm very grateful. However, I still have to do a good job as a staff member. I can't let people gossip and do things according to the rules. For example, it's not convenient to bring a staff member to report some things to superiors. So, Xiao

Junior sister..."

"Don't worry, I understand. I'm always with you when nothing happens. If you have something important, just talk to me. I'm not an unreasonable woman."

She waved her hand tolerantly and said softly.

"With junior sister like this, what can senior brother ask for?" Ouyang Rong sighed.

The two brothers and sisters talked quietly and joked from time to time.

Yuan Huaimin, who was opposite him, lowered his head and looked at the half piece of leftover cake under the table, and suddenly felt that he was not the only one who was not human.
