After two days, Cao Yi's father Cao Bin sent to pick up the Korean lady Gao's personal guards finally arrived, although after a long journey, there was a lot of dust on the armor and clothing, but all of them were burly and upright, their eyes were resolute, and they did not show any fatigue on the road, and they had an iron-blooded atmosphere.

Cao Yi personally arranged accommodation, let them take a good bath and rest first, and then serve good food and drink, so that they could nourish their spirits and set off again on the second day.

The leader is Deputy Lieutenant Zhenwu, Duyu Marquis Xu Yuanqing. He has been following Cao Bin, the Duke of Lu, to fight in the south and the north, and he has won the trust of Cao Envoy, so he specially sent him to pick up Mrs. Han this time.

Cao Yi naturally respects these people who protect the safety of his mother along the way, and he is his father's personal soldier. Let them rest for a while, and then lead the team of 100 people to the Drunken Immortal Building to eat and drink.

No matter what era, the military is the most upright, and a person can naturally distinguish between good and bad to them, not to mention that Cao Yi, as the boss of these people, Cao Yi, can not take care of them, but now he not only personally arranges their accommodation, but also brings them over to eat wine and food that he has never tasted before, and he is naturally very grateful in his heart, and he has a very good impression of this little man.

What Cao Yi didn't expect was that Liu Baiqing, Gongye Yuanzhou and the other five brothers heard that Xu Yuanqing came to pick up his wife, and they all rushed over, since leaving the army, it was rare to have the opportunity to meet again.

On this day, they ate and drank late in the Zuixian Building, and Cao Yi drank a few glasses with him at the beginning, and then retired. said that I would accompany my mother for dinner today, and I don't know when it will be next time to eat together. Everyone naturally understood, and stood up to toast Cao Yi.

……

"Mother, I'm here!" Cao Yi came over sweating profusely, followed by Red Sleeves, Musk Moon, Autumn Pattern, Bi Jin and others, all holding vegetables in their hands.

"You're so old, you're sweating like this!" Although Mrs. Gao was reproachful, her tone was full of love and pity, and she wiped the sweat on Cao Yi's forehead with a silk handkerchief.

"Mother, I'm not running, this is going to the dining room to cook dinner for my mother, my mother is going to leave early tomorrow morning, and today is the last time I will eat with my mother in Jiangning, and I don't know when and when I will eat together next time." So the child cooked a few dishes by himself, and if it was not delicious, the mother should not scold the child. Cao Yi said happily.

"Really? Is it really all made by Yi'er? Mrs. Gao asked in surprise. At this time, Mrs. Gao didn't care about the saying that 'a gentleman cooks far away', her son could cook dinner for herself, even if her seven sons had never done it before, and at this time the younger son could do this, she felt very warm, and a little moved.

Waiting for the red sleeves and they set up the dishes, Cao Yi hurriedly grabbed a chopstick braised pork and gave it to Mrs. Gao: "Mother, come, eat this, this is called braised pork." ”

Mrs. Gao opened her mouth and ate it, her eyes lit up: "Well, I didn't expect it to be so delicious, sweet and soft, and melt in your mouth." Then he used chopsticks to pick up other dishes, and praised each one for being delicious.

"Yi'er, my good boy...... I really didn't expect you to cook dinner for your mother today, mother...... Will remember it for a lifetime! Mrs. Gao said movingly, and a few tears came out, and then she picked up the silk handkerchief and wiped it.

This dinner, the two of them ate for a long time, at first it was Red Sleeves and Qingzhao, two maids and cloth vegetables, but later Mrs. Gao and Cao Yi asked the two of them to sit down, and the four of them had a meal together. Qing Liang is going to go to the north with Mrs. Gao to find the master, and the two girls who have been together since they entered the Cao Mansion don't know when they will meet again, and after eating, Qingzhao and Red Sleeves still get together and talk about it for a long time.

Early in the morning of the second day, everyone got up earlier than usual, and Cao Yi also exercised early, bathed and changed clothes, and went to Wenshu Garden to have breakfast with Mrs. Gao. After that, he didn't leave an inch, and helped his mother all the way to the main gate of Caofu, where Mrs. Gao and Qingzhao's carriage were parked.

After a while, even Yang Jue, the prefect of Jiangning, rushed to see him off, and was talking to Mrs. Gao in a low voice at this time, and the two looked at Cao Yi from time to time, presumably Mrs. Gao asked Yang Prefect to take more care of Cao Yi.

And Qingzhao and Red Sleeves hugged each other and cried bitterly, which made Cao Yi feel a little infected, and his heart was a lot more miserable. After they finished crying, Cao Yi whispered to Qingzhao: "Work hard all the way, help me take care of my mother!" Qingzhao bit his lip and nodded silently, with tears in his eyes.

Liu Baiqing, Gongye Yuanzhou and the other five brothers also arrived at this time, followed by three carriages, and said goodbye to Xu Yuanqing.

Cao Yi came to Xu Yuanqing and said: "Xu Duyu, please entrust the safety of my mother to you this way, as for these three carriages, please Xu Duyu also ask Xu Duyu to bring my father, one is too white drunk, one is Qinglian wine, as for the remaining one, it is a special ham made in recent days, I heard that the border environment is difficult, and the materials are not abundant, so I specially marinated the pork leg to dry, which is a little filial piety that Cao Yi dedicated to his father, and I hope Xu Duyu will bring it." ”

Xu Yuanqing also handed over his luggage: "Childe has a heart, Yuanqing will definitely bring it, as for protecting the safety of Mrs. Han's itinerary, it is our natural duty, please rest assured." ”

Cao Yi nodded and continued: "If the conditions on the road are difficult, Xu Duyu will take out the ham and cook it, and share it with his brothers. ”

"Then Yuanqing will thank the son for the brothers." Xu Yuanqing hugged his fists again and thanked him.

When it was time to hurry, Cao Yi took the red sleeves and a group of maids all the way to the gate of Jiangning City, and waved goodbye to Mrs. Gao who lifted the curtain and looked here.

"Mother, when you get to your father, send a letter to the child!" Cao Yi put his hands around his mouth and shouted loudly, seeing Mrs. Gao nodding from a distance.

"Nephew Zhaozhengshi, Mrs. Shicai Han will take good care of you in the future, if you have any things or difficulties in the future, come directly to the house to find me, don't be polite." Yang Gong, the prefect of Jiangning, walked up to Cao Yi at this time, patted him on the shoulder and said.

Cao Yi hurriedly turned around and thanked Yang Gong, "Junior, thank Yang Gong!" ”

"Well, nephew Zhaozhengshi, the old man is busy with official business, so he will go first, and you should go back early." Yang Gong and Cao Yi said a word, and left first.

Cao Yi climbed up to the city tower with red sleeves and a group of maids at this time, and watched his mother's team walk on the post road from a distance until he could no longer see it.

"Childe, let's go back!" Red Sleeves whispered to Cao Yi.

"Well, let's go back," Cao Yi replied unconsciously.

At this time, Liu Baiqing, Gongye Yuanzhou and the other five people were still there, Cao Yi also said hello to them, saying that he would go to the villa tomorrow, and let Liu Baiqing arrange it at that time, Liu Baiqing nodded and said goodbye.

Cao Yi returned to Cao's Mansion with Red Sleeves, Raiders, Musk Yue and other maids, at this time there was a group of people missing from the family, Mrs. Gao In addition to Qingzhao, she also took away some old mothers, rough maids and little maids who were usually alone in Wenshu Garden.

Cao Yi walked to Wenshu Garden, there were two old mothers who were packing their luggage, and when they saw Cao Yi, they hurriedly put down the work in their hands and saluted Cao Yi: "Son! ”

"What are you doing here?" Cao Yi pointed to the luggage he was packing.

"Childe, the old slave can't walk with his wife because of his old age and his family in Jiangning, and now there is no owner in Wenshu Yuan, the old slave feels that it is useless to keep it, and he is planning to pack up his luggage and retire to the steward!"

"No need, you two just stay here and don't have to leave, just clean Manjushri Garden every day, the monthly money is the same as before, and I will come here often in the future." Cao Yi looked at the empty Manjushri Garden and said to the two old mothers.

"Thank you, Childe, thank you!" The two old mothers hurriedly bowed down and thanked them, which was equivalent to raising two idlers in Manjushri Garden.

Cao Yi waved his hand and walked back to his Qingyun Pavilion.

When he met Red Sleeves and was taking the other seven maids to the Drunken Immortal Tower, he saw Cao Yi, and Qi Qifu saluted: "Son! ”

"Hmm", Cao Yi responded in a low voice, staggering past them, leaving Red Sleeves and the others looking at each other.

"Childe is a dutiful son, and he should miss his wife at this time." Tan Yun is the most innocent, and said like a little adult.

Cao Yi, who had already walked over at this time, suddenly turned around, glanced at them, and said, "You should come back early in the evening, and we will have dinner together." ”

"Yes, Childe!" Red Sleeves and the crowd hurriedly replied.
