Tu Lichun stood in front of the second gate to greet the visiting Cao Xin.

Originally, Cao Xin thought that Li Ze would definitely stand in front of the second gate and greet him enthusiastically, and he even thought about whether he should answer if Li Ze called himself uncle affectionately. Along the way, he was still very entangled in this problem. Should or shouldn't, for him, it's really a question.

Before, he pretended to be deaf and dumb, and there were things he could do, but he could never say them. Just like this time Li Ze's visit was sneaky, when he saw Li Ze, he also came secretly in the middle of the night.

If an identity like theirs is spread out and put under the sun, it will cause a political incident.

Responding to this title means that Cao Xin acknowledges Li Ze's identity.

Now Cao Xin found that he was really worried, don't say anything about not calling him, Li Ze didn't appear in front of the second door at all, when Cao Xin breathed a sigh of relief, he was faintly annoyed in his heart.

You're here to beg for help!

When you came to Yizhou, you wanted to get my help, so as to get more capital to compete with your eldest brother, couldn't you even make such a gesture as Corporal Lixian? Not to mention greeting each other, it's not too much to greet yourself in person, right?

"What is Gongzi Li busy with?" Cao Xin looked at Tu Lichun and asked.

Tu Lichun was very embarrassed, and said in the future: "Son, he... He's busy!"

Looking at Tu Lichun's appearance, Cao Xin was noncommittal, Li Ze came to Yizhou, the main purpose was to see himself, what else could he be busy with?

It wasn't until he stepped into the door that when Cao Xin saw Li Ze, he found that Li Ze was really busy.

There were a lot of bottles and cans on the table, Li Ze held a copper mortar in his hand, and just as he was rushing the ground, the room was filled with a fragrance, and the most eye-catching thing was a large pile of peach blossom petals on the table and some other things that seemed to be dried flowers and herbs.

"Cao Gong is here, please sit down, I still need a little bit of work here, it will be fine right away, if I stop now, the hour I was busy with in front of me will be all in vain." Li Ze smiled at Cao Xindao.

did not call Cao Xin his uncle, nor did he call Cao Xin the official name of the assassin of Yizhou, just such a sentence of Cao Gong, but Cao Xin's eyes lit up. Ignoring the embarrassment of Tu Lichun and Wang Mingyi beside him, he walked to Li Ze's side, stared at him who was busy and said, "Is this making rouge?"

Reaching out and pulling at the materials on the table, he actually named some of them.

Li Ze was also a little surprised, and looked at Cao Xin with a smile: "I don't want Cao Gong to be an expert, could it be that he has done it before?"

Cao Xin smiled, "When I was young, I was a Jinshi and stayed in Chang'an for a while, so I was naturally proud of the spring breeze at that time, and for the sake of the Pomeranian people, such a thing was indeed done. However, unlike Li Gongzi, who used so many materials, I don't recognize many things here, and I don't know their efficacy."

"I'll give Cao Gong a copy of the recipe when I go back." Li Ze was busy with his hands quickly, and said.

Cao Xin laughed: "I'm old, it's past the time to use this to please the beauty, but if Li Gongzi has more finished products, you might as well give me some, I'll give them to my wife, presumably she is very happy, speaking of which, I haven't bought these things for her for many years."

Li Ze smiled slightly, poured the paste in the copper mortar into another container, wrapped it in a sand cloth, tightened it, watched a drop of juice flow from the inside into a white porcelain cup, and said with a smile: "Cao Gong was originally a real celebrity and self-style, but now he is wearing armor and hanging a knife, which is a pity."

"I don't think so." Cao Xin sat beside Li Ze by himself, and stretched out his hand to help Li Ze tinker with the dried flowers and hay on the side, "Drunk and lying on the knees of beauty, waking up and killing human rights, this is the real happy life. Cao was self-disciplined and taught, a gentleman with six arts, but he never dared to despise that item."

Li Ze turned his head to look at Cao Xin, and found that this man was indeed an expert, but he probably hadn't done these things for a long time, and the technique was a little rusty at the beginning, but slowly he became more and more proficient, he didn't know the use of some herbs, and he didn't interfere indiscriminately, just did something for Li Ze. But it also made Li Ze's entire progress speed up a lot.

Sure enough, he is also an expert, much faster than when Tu Lichun and Li Mi helped him, those two people don't understand at all, and most of the time they are adding chaos.

Soon the two of them swept away the things on the table, and Li Ze sealed the final product, some pasty-like things, into small bamboo tubes, and then clapped his hands and said with a smile: "It's done."

Cao Xin was a little confused, "Doesn't rouge use paper media?" Li Gongzi, what is this new approach?"

Li Ze laughed and said to Li Mi: "Li Mi, take out one of yesterday's finished products."

Li Mi took out a bamboo tube from a small box in the corner of the room and presented it to Cao Xin with both hands.

Cao Xin took the small bamboo tube, his eyes swept over Li Yu's hand, the palm was slender, and the ten nails were bright red, it must be Li Ze's masterpiece, but these slender hands were calloused, obviously the hand that had held the knife for many years. Looking at Li Mi's walking posture again, you will know that this woman who looks very beautiful must not be bad in kung fu.

Also, if it's bad, Li Ze won't take it with him.

Li Ze also took one and held it up in front of Cao Xin, his hands slowly rotated at the bottom of the bamboo tube, and Cao Xin saw that the red rouge paste slowly poked out from the top of the bamboo tube, and the front end of the rouge cut out a section, and Cao Xin understood it at a glance.

"It's so much more convenient than paper media." Cao Xin was full of praise.

"Of course. Li Mi, show Cao Gong how to use this thing, right?" Li Ze looked at Li Yu with a smile.

Li Mi's face suddenly flushed.

Cao Xin waved his hand again and again: "This is a warrior, how can he do such a thing. It's a clever design, but you can see how to use it at a glance."

Li Ze laughed: "Cao Gongfa has no rules. Don't look at Li Mi as a woman, but she is one of the most powerful people under me. Alright, Li Mi, put all these things away. Li Gong, you go back and bring a box back, these bamboo tubes are what I asked Tu Lichun to make in the past two days, after you bring them back, you might as well let the skilled craftsmen carve some exquisite patterns outside, and then paint the colors, the whole thing can be regarded as high-end and high-grade, not as rustic as it is now."

"It's more rustic and closer to nature, and I prefer what I'm looking for." Cao Xin said with a smile.

Li Ze waved his hand, Tu Lichun and Li Mi immediately quickly cleaned up the things on the table, Wang Mingyi also hurriedly came up to help, Li Ze wiped his hands and said: "It's a pity that not all people in the world can see through the essence at a glance like Cao Gong, and the prosperity is naturally more pleasing."

"Li Gongzi is right." The two walked to the other side and sat down, Cao Xin looked at Li Ze under the light seriously, the fifteen-year-old boy in front of him was a little taller than himself, although his face was childish, but those eyes were far and deep, facing himself at the moment, the confidence revealed in it made Cao Xin nod secretly.

Wang Mingyi personally brought fragrant tea, and all the irrelevant people here were taken away by him, so he could only do the work of serving people.

"I heard that Cao Gong was a little frightened in the Deep State this time?" If the two had already tested each other before, at this time, Li Ze went straight to the point.

"Cao Mou doesn't know how many turbulent waves he has experienced in his life, this little turmoil is nothing, not to mention, this is just a little dirty between his own family, it is really nothing." Cao Xin smiled. Li Gongzi is such a sensitive news."

"It's just a little wrong love from Mr. Gongsun." Li Ze waved his hand and said, "Gong Cao knows it well, so you don't have to laugh at me. Speaking of which, a person as generous as Cao Gong is becoming more and more rare now."

A seemingly unintentional sentence contains many layers of meaning. Li Ze explained the essence of this matter, but Cao Xin directly rejected the meaning of Li Ze's words.

The affairs of your own family can be solved internally by your own family.

Is Li Ze now considered his own family? Now it's two ways to go.

"Speaking of which, the source of this matter is still on Li Gongzi." Cao Xin fought back quietly, "I don't know what Gongzi Li has planned?" I look at Li Gong, but now it is very contradictory. It's a dilemma!"

Li Ze took a sip of tea and covered the tea bowl with a ding: "I was originally devoted to the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch!" Over the years, I've been honest and I've never thought about anything, but I can't make people kick their noses in the face, over and over again, over and over again! Cao Gong is in Yizhou, he should know about me."

Speaking of this, Cao Xin couldn't help but sigh. From the very beginning of Li Ze's arrangement, he did not seem to have the intention of competing with Li Che, but now, it is completely different.

"Brothers are against the wall, and outsiders are insulted, and there is always someone to back down." Cao Xin looked at Li Ze and said.

"Why me?" Li Ze smiled and asked rhetorically. Cao Gong followed Jiedu all the way, and he knew that the problem between me and Li Che now was not just a problem between the two of us, but mixed with the grievances of the Su and Wang clans, and whoever retreated would die. Cao Gong, I don't want to die."

Cao Xin sighed: "Gongzi Li, the sky is high and the birds fly, the sea is wide and the fish swim, Gongsun Changming once told me about the original ambition of the child, I think that's pretty good."

Li Ze laughed, "People will change, I'm a person, no one bullies me, I won't mess with people, but I will think a little more for others, but if someone thinks I'm a good bully, they call the door, I always return a tooth for a tooth, blood for blood. Cao Gong, say one thing to let Cao Gong know, after the beginning of the year, a person named Gao Xiangsheng actually came to my door. Does Cao Gong know who this Gao Xiangsheng is?"

Cao Xin's pupils contracted, and his eyes pierced people like needles, "Gao Xiangsheng!"

"Not bad."
