Apart from monetary support, to go along No.7 Research Institute’s industrial plan, he also needed to make some arrangements with the Nanjiang Governor-General House structure.

Ouyang Shuo wanted to wait till after the new year to gather the officials for a discussion regarding this point. After all, it was time for them to renew the current Governor-General House.

After receiving Ouyang Shuo’s promise, Liu Mo and the others were naturally delighted.

"At least I didn't waste a pot of good tea!" someone grumbled secretly.

"...."

Before leaving the research institute, Ouyang Shuo gave Liu Mo a requirement to meet. He wanted the No.7 Research Institute to work together with the Beihai Shipyard to modify the Dragon Head and add cannons to it.

Liu Mo and the others wanted to build up the industrial system. One of the reasons for this desire was their firearm research and crafting process. However, to achieve that goal, they still needed a period of time.

Hence, Ouyang Shuo wanted them to equip some old style cannons on the warship.

If one talked about the Dragon Head, Ouyang Shuo had only boarded it a few times when he explored Qiongzhou Island. As for the others times, it was just docked at Beihai Harbor.

It was Old Sun who treated the Dragon Head like his old lover. Every time he had any new ideas, he would test it out on the Dragon Head, treating it as a total guinea pig.

The current Dragon Head was entirely different from before.

Now, however, Ouyang Shuo suddenly wanted to modify the ship that he had shown no concern for previously.

No matter how one looked at it, it was unusual.

"Why do I think you have other intentions?"

Liu Mo took a look at Ouyang Shuo and said with uncertainty.

Ouyang Shuo smiled and did not say anything.

"Are you thinking about going out to sea?" Liu Mo was a busybody.

Ouyang Shuo did not care about him and just left.

"Just treat it like a normal matter!" Before leaving, Ouyang Shuo was still worried, so he threw down a sentence.

"Don't worry!"

Liu Mo returned to his workplace; he was still a little depressed about not obtaining any rumors or news from Ouyang Shuo.

Who said that research personnel did not care about gossips.

They only appeared quiet to the outside world.

……

After leaving the research institute, Ouyang Shuo did not go anywhere else. Instead, he simply returned to the Governor-General Manor where he accompanied Bing'er as she studied.

It was the 12th month, and the virtual school was not on holidays yet.

In the afternoon, it was the time for Bing'er to learn about ancient Chinese civilizations, no matter how much she hated it and did not want to.

Out of the four types of musical instruments, chess, books, and calligraphy, the little brat only liked calligraphy.

She did not have the slightest interest toward playing instruments or chess. Ouyang Shuo dissed her for not having any cultural genes.

One had to mention that her talent in calligraphy was exceedingly strong.

In just three months, her writing already possessed some standard.

In his last life, Ouyang Shuo had spent five years in the game, writing five years of brush writing. Although he could not be considered really good, he still had a little knowledge regarding the matter.

This brother and sister pair each one wrote a line and were immersed in the front.

"Brother, are you going to marry Sister Song Jia?"

While writing, the little brat suddenly raised her head and popped this question.

Ouyang Shuo was stunned, and he placed down the brush in his hand and smiled, “That's right. Why, are you unhappy?"

The two of them were simply too familiar with one another.

Any change in her tone would not be able to escape his ears.

A day ago, Ouyang Shuo had discussed with Song Jia about marriage matters.

This unexpected happiness had struck her down, and in a short while, the news had spread over the entire manor.

The entire Nanjiang Governor-General House had started to run and prepare for the marriage of the Lord. When the people of Shanhai City received the news, they were also delighted, and their joy was evident on their faces.

In just a day, the people sentiment rose by one point. Only then did Ouyang Shuo realize how important the marriage and the childbirth of the Lord was to the people.

This was a tough and personal question.

Under such a situation, Ouyang Shuo was not surprised that the smart and resourceful Bing'er obtained the news.

"A little." Bing'er seemed a little crestfallen and really pitiful.

"Why?" Ouyang Shuo asked.

"When Brother gets married, you won't be Bing'er's brother, and you won't dote on me anymore."

She grumbled; the way that she acted really made others uncontrollably adore her.

As she grew older, this little brat would not yearn for attention every day like before. She started to slowly grow independent, especially after training in the Wugou Heart Sutra.

Only at this moment did Ouyang Shuo realize that this little brat was still the little brat from before. Her reliance on her older brother had not changed a single bit.

Ouyang Shuo smiled, “Who did you hear that from? What kind of weird theories are you talking about?"

"The sisters are all saying that." Bing'er was annoyed.

"Silly girl."

Ouyang Shuo touched her little head.

If this was like last time, she would definitely feel unhappy, as she did not want her brother to treat her like a little kid. Only this time, she did not reject it.

Ouyang Shuo bent down to her eye level and said solemnly, “When brother gets married, not only will I still love you like before, you'll have the addition of a sister-in-law who loves you just as much. Didn’t you know that?"

"Really?" Bing'er was a little unsure.

"Bo!"

Ouyang Shuo flicked her head, “Why? Now you don't even believe what brother says?"

"Ouch!"

The little brat pressed her head, as she stared at her brother with annoyance. However, her eyes showed a trace of bliss and happiness.

"Write your words properly, stop slacking." Ouyang Shuo got up.

"Oh!" Only then did the little brat started being honest.

Ouyang Shuo sighed in his heart, This little brat has grown up, thinking about so much.

At that moment, Ouyang Shuo really did not know what he should be feeling.

12th month, 20th day, Fan Li and his group entered Shanhai City.

The Black Guards from the Black Snake Guards had escorted him along the way. Apart from Fan Li, there was another famous person that followed him. She was one of the four beauties of olden China - Xi Shi.

Everyone knew that the four beauties of olden china were Xi Shi, Wang Zhaojun, Diao Chan, and Yang Yuhuan. They were given the title of a beauty that caused fish to sink down and geese to fall, the moon hides her face at her beauty, and the flowers feel ashamed about their appearance.

The sinking fish had to do with the story of Xi Shi washing yarn on the riverbed.

The falling geese described the story of Zhaojun leaving her home country.

The moon closing her eyes discussed the story of Diao Chan praying to the moon.

The ashamed flower talked about the story of Yang Yuhuan getting drunk while viewing flowers.

The beauties of legend had finally appeared in the wilderness for the first time, letting the ordinary people witness their beauty.

Xi Shi was a girl that washed yarn. She had distinct features, a peach-colored face, with an extraordinary appearance. When she was washing yarn by the river, the reflection of the clear water made her look a lot more beautiful. The fishes in the river felt that she was too pretty and sank down into the river, ashamed to show their faces.

This was how the story of the sunken fishes came about.
