A hint of coldness flashed in Aunt Ren's eyes, and then she disappeared and nodded with a smile. "From now on, Gongzi Lu will be our honored guest. Your first time here, there are some rules, I want to explain them. ”

Cao Miao nodded. "Please."

"Actually, there are no complicated rules, to sum up, there are only two: out of this courtyard, none of us know anyone. In this courtyard, we respect each other, and no one is allowed to be strong. She paused, then added, "Especially for my daughters." ”

Cao Miao laughed silently. "The eldest lady has such a charm, presumably your daughter is also a national color."

"I don't dare to be a national color, but I have the posture of a Chinese person, and I just have a little talent. So, did Lu Gongzi agree? ”

Cao Miao nodded. "The people in distress are already grateful to be taken in by the eldest mother, how dare they cause trouble." He paused, and then said, "It's just that we came in a hurry, and my brother didn't bring any money, so it's ......."

"It doesn't matter." Aunt Ren smiled and waved her hand. "Thanks to my friends, so far, no one has defaulted on their debts."

"That's good." Cao Miao thought about it and asked again. "Can I add a condition?"

"You say."

"I like to be quiet. Without my permission, you'd better not enter this courtyard, lest you cause unnecessary misunderstandings. ”

Aunt Ren's delicately trimmed eyebrows were lightly raised, and then she nodded with a smile and agreed.

After a few more cold words, Aunt Ren retired. Cao Miao glanced at Qingtao and Ah Hu. Qingtao and Ah Hu immediately split up, checking inside and outside the courtyard, especially in the bedroom, to see if there were any secret doors, secret passages, etc., to familiarize themselves with the terrain.

Cao Miao sat alone in the hall, slowly tasting the snacks and drinks sent by Aunt Ren, looking at this quiet courtyard. Of course, he will not be fooled by the silence in front of him, the scoundrels and idlers outside the courtyard, and the figures hidden in the side courtyard, are telling him that this place seems to be a paradise, but in fact it is in the eye of the storm.

One gold a day is very expensive, but it is worth the money, even the best value for money.

Could the legendary House of Huiren be here? Aunt Ren's Ren, will it be Ren's Ren?

There are two oldest professions in the world: one is a prostitute and the other is a killer, both of which are profiteering industries. The prostitute didn't say anything, she made money while lying down. Killers not only kill people, but also rob money, how can there be more money than this? He robbed and killed the king machine this time and made millions of profits, which was much easier than Xiahou Mao's business.

Of course, if Aunt Ren's name is Hongchang, it will be more fun.

can have a hiding place in Luoyang City, and it is not far from the powerful area, these people are not simple people, not to mention that their hands and eyes are open to the sky. Naturally, being able to consume here is either rich or expensive, Xiahou Mao and his ilk thought that this was their gold cave, but they didn't know that they might have become a fish caught by others.

What the children of the powerful are talking about is not only the wind and snow, but also the secrets in the courtyard of the deep mansion, and even the major choices related to the imperial court. To them, these news are just braggadocio and fall into the ears of those who have a heart, but they may decide the rise or fall of the world.

If that's the case, I'm afraid that Aunt Ren already knows who he is. Even if you don't know now, you can't hide it for a few days.

Is this a self-defeating trap?

In a dangerous situation, Cao Miao can't be careless. He asked Aunt Ren's people not to enter this courtyard casually, that is, to show Aunt Ren his vigilance, not to act rashly, so as not to cause unnecessary conflicts.

Qingtao and Ah Hu finished the inspection and did not find anything suspicious.

Cao Miao didn't say anything more, let them sit down, and reviewed the incident of chasing and killing Wang Ji, and reviewed the gains and losses.

This incident is mainly divided into two parts: one is acting in Luoshui, deceiving Longlou and luring Wang Ji; The first is to hunt down the king. The previous thing was that the intended goal was generally completed, but there were many minor problems, especially Ah Hu, who was attacked by the Dragon Tower and almost messed up. On the contrary, Qingtao was calm, injured Longlou, and saved the opportunity for Ah Hu.

But Ahu's progress is also obvious. In the attack on Wang Ji, Ah Hu's performance was perfect, and Qingtao had no chance to show it.

After commenting one by one, Cao Miao arranged a new training program for them. Since you are going to stay here for ten days, you can't waste time, just strengthen the relevant subjects and prepare for the next stage of the battle.

After more than half a month in Luoyang, they encountered more trouble than in Yongqiu for half a year, and their opponents became stronger and stronger, so Cao Miao did not dare to slack off.

——

Yun Niangren is beautiful, the craftsmanship is really good, the lunch is very rich, and the taste is beautiful.

Xiahou Xu devoured and ate with a mouth full of oil, not only swept away the food in front of him, but also snatched some from Cao Miao's case. While eating, he praised Yun Niang's good craftsmanship, and he couldn't wait to eat even his own fingers.

Cao Miao didn't eat much, tasted two bites of each thing, and put down the chopsticks.

Yun Niang was a little surprised, and took the initiative to ask: "Master Lu, the food doesn't fit?" ”

"Okay." Cao Miao said lightly: "It's just that the knife work is slightly inferior." ”

Xiahou Xu said angrily: "Yunliang, what are you pretending?" Have you ever eaten such a good dish, and you are still a knife worker. Do you think this is a cow solution? This is cooking and does not require anything to enter without thickness. ”

Cao Miao smiled and didn't speak. Yun Niang saw it in her eyes, became more curious, and bowed slightly. "Can you please explain a thing or two to Gongzi Lu?"

Cao Miao said a few words modestly, Yun Niang was even more curious, and asked again and again, Xiahou Xu saw it, although he felt that Cao Miao was suspected of pretending to be forced, but he couldn't bear to see Yun Niang disappointed, so he pouted Cao Miao and said quickly. Cao Miao pretended for a while, and then reluctantly opened her mouth.

"In fact, Yun Niang's knife work is already very particular, but the strength is slightly worse, the knife is not accurate enough, and there is a slight fly in the ointment. For example, this mutton, you cut it as evenly as possible, but you can't do it neatly, and the size is still obvious, far less uniform than vegetables. ”

Yun Niang nodded again and again. "What Gongzi said is very true, although concubines often enter the kitchen, after all, the strength in their hands is insufficient, and it is inevitable that they will lose their proportions when they go under the knife."

"That's just one aspect." Cao Miao picked up chopsticks, took out two pieces of mutton from the kettle, and put them on a plate. "You see, although these two pieces of meat come from the same sheep, but the parts are different, the thickness of the skin, and the fat and thinness of the meat, they are different, but you cut them about the same size, and they are steamed together in a kettle, how can the taste be the same? This piece of meat is obviously very tender, but because it has to accommodate other meats, it is cooked. ”

"Really?" Xiahou Xu was dumbfounded, took chopsticks, came to Cao Miao's case, picked up the piece of meat, and tasted it. "I can't taste it."

Yun Niang rolled her eyes, if she thought about it, she picked up the chopsticks again, picked up two pieces of meat from the kettle, tasted the product, and then nodded convincingly. "It seems that Lu Gongzi is also a glutton, and he is good at esophagus. I don't know if the concubine can be lucky enough to take a look at Lu Gongzi's craftsmanship. ”

Cao Miao smiled and shook her head. "I can only eat, I can barely say a word, but I can't do it."

Yun Niang's beautiful eyes flashed, and her face was even more delicate. "Then can you ask the son to give some advice, so that the concubine can know when to be thin and when to be thick? If the son does not give up, Yun Niang is willing to cook every day and make soup for the son. ”

Cao Miao was still hesitating, and Xiahou Xu was already in a hurry. "Yunliang, what are you hesitating about, hurry up and agree."
