In the next few days, everyone was busy cleaning up and tidying up, and the surrounding circle of people were all busy, but Cao Yi was alone leisurely and leisurely, anyway, his personal things had red sleeves for him to do, and he only made sure that he was in the middle of the time, this is the privilege of the children of the ancient eunuchs and noble sons, and there were maids and maids to serve everything.

However, in the past few days, it does not mean that Cao Yi has nothing to do, in order to go to Yangzhou with peace of mind, he has also done several things in the past few days.

first went to visit Yang Gong, and asked Yang Gong to take care of one or two more in Jiangning after he and Wang Zhiyuan both went to Yangzhou.

Whether it is the drunken fairy building, the production workshop of Huayu soap and rich eggs, or even the brewery outside the city, these places need Yang Gong's help to keep an eye on them, and they will naturally not bother with anything, but they are afraid that if something happens, Cao Yi and Wang Zhiyuan are both in Yangzhou, and the distant water will not be able to save the near fire, and the rest of the people will not be able to solve it, so it is necessary to find a backbone in Jiangning, so as not to lose the whole game when the dragons have no leader.

In addition, Cao Yi also asked for a letter of introduction from Yang Gong, which was written to Fei Haomiao, the governor of Yangzhou, and asked him to take more care of Cao Yi and Zuixianlou, so that after Cao Yi arrived at the boundary of Yangzhou, he could be regarded as having a backer in the officialdom, and he no longer had to be afraid of some means and oppression from the officialdom.

After going to Yang Gong alone, Cao Yi took Yu Youwei, Jin'er, and Sikong Youyi to Lu Lao's place, no matter what, in the next month, because Yu Youwei was not there, as a righteous daughter, she always had to inform Lu Lao, Mrs. Qin, and Ya Niang, because this trip to Yangzhou might also affect their ceremony.

"I know that what your kid said about the study tour is not so simple, in the final analysis, it is to make more money, you said that since you can be indifferent to fame and fortune, and have no intention of fame, why can't you see through this yellow and white thing?" Lu Lao and Cao Yi sat in the courtyard basking in the sun and playing chess, while Yu Youwei, Jin'er and Sikong Youyi were taken away by Mrs. Qin and Ya Niang to talk about some boudoir things.

Cao Yi took a break, raised his head and looked at Lu Lao and said: "I naturally know that these things outside the body are not brought to life and death, and to be honest, I am not very interested in making money itself, it can be said that I have never touched money, because money has always been in charge of red sleeves, but I like to spend money, especially to spend money on my relatives and friends, of course, if you want to spend money, you must have money, this is the starting point for me to make more money." ”

Lu Lao grabbed a flaw in Cao Yi, dropped the white son in his hand, took away Cao Yi's three sunspots, and said with a smile: "Evil sect crooked! ”

In the face of Lu Lao's laughter and scolding, Cao Yi was not surprised, and said lightly: "My teacher is Lu Lao." ”

"......" Lu Lao was still laughing, and he was almost choked by Cao Yi's words.

"You scoundrel, you don't respect the old and love the young at all!" Lu Lao glared at Cao Yi hatefully, paused, and continued: "Yangzhou has produced many literati since ancient times, and Lotte and Fan Chuan have both lived in Yangzhou or been officials for nearly ten years

And you still have the heart to tease Gongsun Yourou, right? As he spoke, Lu Lao suddenly looked at Cao Yi obliquely.

Cao Yi glanced back at the direction where Yu Youwei and the others were, she had only talked to her before, and no one else had said it yet, presumably Youwei had mentioned it to Lu Lao and them when she came by herself before, and it was hard to say that she was still complaining or complaining at that time.

Cao Yi smiled dumbly, shook his head, and said, "It seems that this Youwei is still a vinegar jar......"

On Cao Yi's side, like Red Sleeves and others, they are basically what Cao Yi says, and he will never make irresponsible remarks about the feelings of his son, and even if he has this heart, he is not qualified. As for Yu Youwei herself, her identity is currently embarrassing, with her former identity as the first oiran, and Cao Yi are naturally talented and beautiful, when they can be equals, of course, they are really open to say that Cao Yi's identity as the first talent is a little higher.

However, after she became the first Oiran, she was ransomed by Cao Yi with a lot of money, originally according to the convention, even if she couldn't become Cao Yi's wife, but she still couldn't run away if she became a concubine, but Cao Yi is not married yet, and since ancient times, there is no precedent for not marrying a wife and taking a concubine first. Although her deed of sale had already been returned to her by Cao Yi, and she was accepted as a righteous daughter by Ya Niang, she became the righteous daughter of Lu Lao, in terms of identity and status, it is equivalent to getting rid of her lowly status, but after all, she is only a righteous daughter, and the reputation of the Oiran is known to everyone in Jiangning.

Moreover, the Cao family is also a well-known giant in the Dayan Dynasty, and they naturally pay attention to marriage, so Yu Youwei also broke off the idea of becoming Cao Yi's wife.

But in the end, the small emotions that ordinary women should have and the reluctance to share their sweetheart Youwei naturally still have, she can't say Cao Yi herself at the moment, so she has to hope that Cao Yi's teacher, wife and others can say a thing or two, so there will be Lu Lao's question just now.

Cao Yi didn't look at Lu Lao, and said with a light smile as he got down: "If I say I'm just interested in her sword dance, I don't know if Lu Lao believes it." ”

"Believe."

"True faith?"

"What don't you believe, my daughter can't wait to give you her body and mind now, but you don't see any movement, besides, it's not the old man who praises my own daughter, in terms of talent and appearance, she dares to say that she is the first, no one in the entire Jiangning dares to call it the second, and Gongsun Youran can't do it. And the entire Jiangning Eight Leaders, I don't see you and a few other rumors, if it weren't for Youwei telling me, I wouldn't have found out that you have covetous thoughts about Gongsun Yourou. Since the talented Youwei is already the first, and you haven't provoked the others, then the answer is very obvious, and the only thing that can make you interested in Gongsun Yourou is undoubtedly her sword dance. "Old man Lu is an authentic analysis.

"The old man is really as wise as a torch, in fact, this is the case, worthy of being an important minister of the court before, I guess the old man was not the third prince before but also a minister of power such as Pingzhangshi, he should be very well-informed, the old man has ever seen a real martial arts master, that is, the kind that can fly the eaves and walk the wall, jump a few feet high, pick flowers and fly leaves can hurt people." Cao Yi said that this was interested, holding the chess pieces in his hand and not playing, he looked at Lu Lao with glowing eyes and said.

Lu Lao seemed to fall into memories after listening to Cao Yi's words, Cao Yi felt that there was a drama at a glance, if he hadn't seen it, Lu Lao could directly say that he hadn't seen it, it seems that in this world, there is really that kind of martial arts master, at this time he was quite excited in his heart, judging from the accounts in various official histories, there is indeed that kind of martial arts strong people in history, if you say that the origin and great achievements of the emperor Mingjun may be exaggerated in the historical records of all dynasties, but those strange people and heroes must have their own things, Otherwise, they are neither the victors who can tamper with the historical records, nor do they have the ability to make future generations of historians add color to them.

"When I was young, I went to Wudang Mountain on the way to study in Junzhou Wuding Army, and I did see the kind of master you said on the mountain, at that time, I saw him jump lightly, you can jump to the top of the three-zhang high hill, and use the wildflower petals on the ground as a tool to knock down the apricots on the trees, a dozen and a quasi, the petals can actually cut the branches of the apricots, and there is no miss......" Lu Lao said in surprise while reminiscing about the past, after so many years, he can still remember the details so clearly, Obviously, this incident hit him at the time.

"This is not the most amazing place, when I was looking at him in amazement below, he asked me if I want to eat apricots, I nodded and said yes, and then he smashed the apricots over, I was frightened at the time, because I just saw the magical power of his flying flowers and picking fruits, and when the apricots smashed over, the whistling sound, just sounded very sharp, I would have felt that I was hit even if I didn't die, I would be seriously injured, who knew that the apricots were almost in front of me, they could fall straight down, Lined up neatly in front of me. ”

"Deciduous balls?" Cao Yi exclaimed.

"What?" Lu Lao didn't understand very well when he heard it, and couldn't help but ask.

"It's nothing, that master should have used a magical way of exerting force when throwing apricots, which is why it will lead to this strange situation." Cao Yi explained.

"Well, maybe, don't look at him at the time he looked to be in his eighties, full of silver hair, but his complexion was ruddy, his skin was plump and smooth, and he didn't seem to have any wrinkles. And when jumping down from the three-zhang high hill, it was very relaxed, like catkins, it seemed that the force of falling was unloaded in the air, and it almost didn't make any sound when it fell to the ground. ”

Cao Yi listened to the look of fascination, and couldn't help but say, "It would be great if I could also see him with my own eyes." ”

Lu Lao laughed out loud and said: "I was less than twenty years old at the time, and that old gentleman was already in his eighties, and now I am in my sixties. ”

"Hahaha!" Cao Yi couldn't help but laugh when he heard it, this is indeed the case. However, neither of them could have imagined that not long after, Cao Yi really met the old man that Lu Lao met when he was young, and this person was not an old monster, or it would be more appropriate to be called an old fairy.
