Don't make trouble, let's build infrastructure!

The little tiger clings to Tong Ran tightly all night. Tong Ran tried to coax him away at first, but then he really lost his temper and let him cling to him.

The people present were all well-known in Chuzhou, so there were sources of news about Tong Ran, even if they didn't, after such a banquet, they could learn a lot from the people around them.And everyone has also seen the domineering, capricious and picky little tiger raised by Mr. Tong in the legend, and several people even cast quite sympathetic glances at Tong Ran.

Back in the room at night, Tong Ran breathed a sigh of relief, the calmness on his face collapsed, he patted the little tiger's buttocks and said, "You're not good."

But the little tiger didn't seem to feel the master's anger at all, jumped up, ran a few steps down the ground and jumped onto the bed, then found a gap and got into the bed, and fell asleep directly.

Tong Ran was speechless, his family is very human, did he know that he made too much trouble, so he slipped away?

Forget it, I can't bear to punish it.Tong Ran thought helplessly.

Today's banquet went smoothly. He recognized all the prominent families and big merchants in Chuzhou Prefecture, but he didn't show any particular closeness to any of them.Through close observation of them, Tong Ran personally verified some of the information Gu Lan gave him. In addition, he also saw that not only Master Fengle, Chu Min, was quite popular in the local area, but also his prostitute Chu Shuang, who was at the same age, was very popular. Among the nobles and official women, they are also quite prestigious.

This prestige may not come from her father, but Tong Ran does not know the source for the time being. After all, it is inconvenient to inquire about the female relatives, and Gu Lan has no corresponding information.

Halfway through Tong Ran's thinking, there was a flicker of light around his waist. He stopped thinking, drew righteousness from the altar, and poured it into the jade pendant.Soon, Yu Peili came out with a voice: "Ready to sleep?"

"Hmm." Tong Ran drew a smile on the corner of his mouth, quickly took off his robe and got into bed, and said to Yu Pei, "How are you doing today?"

The two are used to talking before going to bed, and what they say is not meaningful, but Tong Ran is very happy to have such instant communication every day. He will tell Chu Jun what he does every day, and he will also ask Chu Jun what he did .

Chu Jun talked about what happened to him in the palace. In fact, he wanted to ask Tong Ran why he kept peeking at Chu Shuang, but this would reveal his secret. Chu Jun tried his best to suppress his curiosity.

He tried to guide Tong Ran to talk about what happened tonight, but Tong Ran was sleepy after a few words, and their contact had to be interrupted.

Not long after the jade pendant darkened, the little tiger opened his eyes. With the tiger's excellent night vision ability, he found Tong Ran in the dark and got under his arm through the gap. The whole tiger got into his arms, and then fell asleep again. .

The next morning, when Tong Ran woke up, the little tiger was in his arms, which made him feel better.

After dealing with the yamen affairs in the morning, Tong Ran planned to personally go to the villages on the outskirts of Chuzhou Prefecture to collect some chickens for the little tiger, and by the way, check the living conditions of the villages.

In order to conceal his identity, Tong Ran dressed up as the son of an ordinary rich family, and only brought Little Tiger and Dongqing with him.

Today's weather is good, Tong Ran was originally not happy with the little tiger, after all it likes basking in the sun so much.Who knew that the little boy fell asleep again not long after getting in the car, and he didn't feel the joy of going out at all.

"It doesn't look like a cub at all!" Tong Ran complained in a low voice, poking the furry face of the sleeping tiger cub.

Dongqing lowered her head to hide the involuntary corners of her mouth, and said to Tong Ran in a low voice after a while: "My little one has already inquired. There are many people who raise chickens, geese and sheep in Taro village not far ahead."

In order not to waste time, Dongqing had already done her homework after receiving Tong Ran's order.

"Well, then go to Taro Village." Tong Ran nodded.

The carriage stopped not far from the entrance of Yutou Village, and Tong Ran got out of the carriage with the little tiger in his arms and walked.He was holding the tiger, and he had a new face, and the people he met on the road would look at him more or less.

Tong Ran also looked at the people around him.

These people seem to be doing well, at least better than the people in Wu's Village when he first became Tiangan.There is flesh on the face, the patches on the clothes are sparse, the feet are wearing straw sandals, and the arms that carry or carry agricultural tools are also very strong.

"Brother." Tong Ran randomly called someone on the road and asked, "Which one here sells live chickens?"

Because the man had never seen Tong Ran before, he gave him a slightly wary look, pointed to the thatched hut not far away, and said, "Old Mrs. Liu's house over there." After speaking, he left in a hurry without stopping.

Tong Ran didn't think it was so strange. There are few strangers in the village, so it's normal to be wary of unfamiliar faces.

Tong Ran walked towards Mrs. Liu's house in the direction pointed by the man. As soon as she approached the courtyard with only two thatched roofs and mud walls, she heard low sobs.

"It seems to be crying." Dongqing also heard it, and said to Tong Ran, "Young one, go and have a look first."

He quickened his pace and approached the yard first.

The courtyard door was open, and behind the wooden door stood a somewhat familiar figure.Holly looked at the girl in the pink dress in front of her, feeling a little familiar, but she didn't know where this familiarity came from.

But one thing is certain, the girl's dress is not high-end, but it is not something that such a farmer can afford, but it is similar to her own, like a servant of a rich family.

"Wait, who are you?" the girl stopped him.

Dongqing asked back: "Who are you?"

Tong Ran was not too far behind, and he also arrived at the door at this time, he was about to ask, but saw the girl who was a little domineering just now retracted the arm that blocked Dongqing, blessed him with a very standard, and said: "Master Tong. "

"Who are you?" Tong Ran also saw the identity of the servant of her wealthy family, and guessed that it was the personal maid of a family who attended the banquet yesterday, but she couldn't guess which one it was.

The maid said frankly: "Your Excellency, the master of this maid is a young lady from Lord Fengle's family, and she is visiting Mrs. Liu inside right now."

Lord Fengle?

Chu Min's daughter.That is, Chu Shuang, who is very prestigious among girls?

Tong Ran immediately understood the identity of the person inside.

He asked again: "Your lady knows Mrs. Liu?"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a shrill cry, Tong Ran frowned, and walked quickly into the house with the little tiger in his arms.

The room was short and damp, and there were even clumps of mushrooms growing under the corner far from the door. On a wooden board that looked like a bed, an old woman half stood up and cried, "It's my life!"

"Didn't I tell you to wait outside?" The woman sitting on the edge of the bed patted the old woman's back, then turned her head and said.

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw that the person at the door was not her personal maid, but a young man.Several thoughts crossed Chu Shuang's mind, thinking of what happened in this house, she subconsciously became alert, but it took only a moment for her to see clearly the person at the door through the faint light.

"Master Tong?" Chu Shuang asked with some doubts.

She didn't question the identity of the person in front of her, not to mention anything else, even the tiger in his hand was memorable enough that she wouldn't admit it.She was just wondering, why did the dignified governor suddenly run to a farmer's house in Yutou Village?

"Miss Chu." Tong Ran couldn't hold the tiger, but bent slightly.

It was also inconvenient for Chu Shuang to salute, so she nodded in response.

Tong Ran didn't greet her politely, and directly stepped forward and asked, "What's going on? Who is this old man?"

He originally wanted to ask if it was Chu Min's relatives, but thinking of the status of the Chu family, he rejected the idea.

"This is Mrs. Liu." Chu Shuang said, without explaining her relationship with Mrs. Liu.

That shouldn't be related, just met by chance?Tong Ran guessed.As Chu Shuang, she really didn't have much chance to meet the old women in the countryside.

After Chu Shuang finished speaking, she cast a puzzled look at Tong Ran.

Tong Ran understood that she was asking her why she came here, so she murmured to the little tiger, "Little bastard, let me buy some good chickens for him. I heard from the villagers that Mrs. Liu raises chickens."

"There are chickens outside." Chu Shuang said, she raised her voice to call her maid, and ordered, "Take Master Tong to pick chickens outside."

The maid had obviously been working in a wealthy family, and she had never done such things before, so her face turned pale immediately, probably because she was afraid.

"Holly, go and have a look at the back." Tong Ran said, asking Dongqing to watch.

The pale-faced maid took Dongqing to the chicken coop, while Tong Ran walked a little further into the house.Old lady Liu's crying had stopped, but Chu Shuang still persuaded her in a low voice.Tong Ran saw that there were several packs of medicine on the only intact small stool in the room.Judging from the condition of the house, Mrs. Liu had no money to buy medicine, which was probably brought by Chu Shuang.

Without asking, Tong Ran poured out all the money in the purse, left a few broken pieces of silver and a handful of copper coins beside the bag of medicine, and said to Mrs. Liu, "Grandma, I will keep the money for the chicken on the stool." gone."

Mrs. Liu didn't know if she heard it, she said something, and she seemed to be crying.

When Tong Ran went out, Dongqing had already caught two chickens and said, "There are two hens in the pen, which can lay eggs, but I didn't take the small one."

Tong Ran nodded, approving his approach.He wanted to know more about Mrs. Liu's situation here, but Mrs. Liu's current state was really not suitable for disturbing, so Tong Ran had no choice but to leave first, planning to find out about Chu Shuang if she had a chance.

Before he went out, he heard Chu Shuang calling him.

When Tong Ran turned her head, Chu Shuang had already left the thatched hut, and came quickly with her skirt on.

She stood still one meter away from Tong Ran, blessed her body and said: "Can the girl go back to the city with the adults?"

Tong Ran glanced at the carriage parked at the other end of the room, nodded and said, "Miss Chu, please."

Because she was coming to the countryside, the carriage Tong Ran used today was relatively small, and after Chu Shuang got on it, her maid had no room to sit.Seeing this, Chu Shuang sent the maid to take her own carriage, and boarded Tong Ran's carriage without any timidity.

Tong Ran raised her eyebrows. This Miss Chu was indeed different from other ladies who had never left the court, but she didn't know why she was looking for him.

Tong Ran also carried the little tiger into the car.

Chu Jun had just finished approving the paperwork, remembering that Tong Ran was going to the countryside to find a good chicken for him, the corners of his lips curled up slightly, and he went back to the dormitory to take a rest.

He quickly fell asleep and woke up in the tiger's body.

As soon as he matched with the tiger's perception, he heard a soft female voice say: "Master Tong, thank you for allowing me to get in the car."

The little tiger's ears immediately pricked up, it got out of Tong Ran's arms, and recognized the girl in front of him at a glance - Feng Le's first daughter, Chu Shuang.

Why is she in the car?

Didn't Tong Ran come out to buy chicken?

The little tiger turned his head, only to find that Tong Ran didn't look at it, but said to Chu Shuang, "If Miss Chu has anything to say, just say it."

say what?

What's there to say?

The little tiger was undecided for a while, should it wait and see what happens, or scare Chushuang first and swear its ownership?
