After Cao Yi finished speaking, he didn't say anything more, but beckoned Tangtai Mingde and Tangtai Yunlan to enjoy the food, but Tangtai Mingde did not move his chopsticks, but was still pondering, and Tangtai Yunlan seemed to know that waiting for his brother's answer would determine the life of the two of them, so he also stopped at this moment, blinking two big eyes and looking at his brother nervously.

Tangtai Mingde took a deep breath, raised his head and glanced at Yunlan Lan, showed a pampering smile at her, then stood up, and first saluted Cao Yi: "Tangtai Mingde has seen Gongzi!" ”

Then he made a disciple salute to Wang Zhiyuan: "Meet the teacher!" When the teacher recognizes Mingde and feels that Mingde can be the true disciple of the teacher, the disciple will give a generous gift and perform three bows and nine bows! Then he smiled sheepishly, "If the teacher accepts the disciple now, the disciple will not have the money to buy gifts." ”

Wang Zhiyuan and Cao Yi laughed when they said this, Wang Zhiyuan stroked his beard and smiled: "This apprenticeship is still required, haha, I will make up for it later, I will inspect you for a while, you should also inspect me for a period of time, apprenticeship is a very important thing for both of you and me, one day as a teacher, a lifetime as a father, so we need to be more cautious." Shantai Mingde nodded deeply and agreed

"Haha, then I'll congratulate the two of you in advance on receiving a good apprentice and a good teacher, let's continue to eat and drink, come and come!" Cao Yi said with a smile.

After that, Shantai Mingde used tea instead of wine to toast Wang Zhiyuan and Cao Yi, and even Shantai Yunlan obediently came over with a teacup to serve tea, but at the beginning, he still called Wang Zhiyuan his grandfather and let her brother preach, and finally changed his mouth and called the teacher with the seniority of Shantai Mingde, which is naturally also selfish, but Wang Zhiyuan and Cao Yi don't say through it, so many maids in Qingyun Pavilion originally called Wang Zhiyuan as a teacher, and it doesn't matter if there is one more.

After lunch, Cao Yi asked Red Sleeves to find someone to make some winter clothes for Shantai Mingde and Shantai Yunlan, and then arranged to live in Cao's mansion, Shantai Yunlan lived in Qingyun Pavilion, and Tangtai Mingde lived in Wang Zhiyuan's Qinghui Garden, and Red Sleeves promised to leave.

The maids of Qingyun Pavilion were very happy about the arrival of Yunlan, especially Tanyun, a little girl, finally there was someone younger than her, plus the two of them had the word cloud in their names, they felt even more intimate, and after a while, the two were very familiar with each other.

Cao Yi saw it in his eyes, and he didn't know whether to be happy or worried about Yunlan, with such a small devil attribute of Tan Yun, although it was easy to blend into everyone's circle, it was also easy to be taken crooked by Tan Yun. I'm really afraid that when the time comes, Yunlan will learn from each other and become naughty.

Red Sleeves knows that his son-in-law still values Tangtai Mingde, and this person is likely to become his little junior brother in the future, so Red Sleeves still plans to do it himself for the things that his son explained just now. immediately took the two of them to Cao's Mansion, and before going, they also went to the place where the two brothers and sisters settled before, an unmanaged land temple in Jiangning City, and it was usually up to the neighbors to come and clean it by themselves, so no one drove them away.

In fact, they don't have anything extra to bring at all, and the two of them came here this time just to bring one thing, what Yunlan wanted to bring was a shabby rag doll, which was said to be made according to the appearance of her mother when she was alive, so Yunlan didn't throw it away even if she had been wandering for more than a year. What Yutai Mingde wanted to bring back was the broken bowl that he had taken out during the soup kitchen before, and it was missing a hole.

Red Sleeves was already a little strange when he saw the rag doll, after all, in this era, the rag doll is generally combined with witchcraft and curses, so few people will make any rag doll dolls for their children, but maybe there is something else hidden, so Red Sleeves didn't say much.

However, when she saw the broken bowl brought by Tangtai Mingde, she couldn't help but ask more, whether it is Caofu or Zuixianlou, there are many bowls that are much more exquisite than this, are you sure you want to bring them?

"Although this bowl is broken, but for more than a year, it has allowed our two brothers and sisters to survive, so for me, this bowl is very commemorative, I took it away in the hope that I can see him often in the future, always remind me of the previous suffering and dilemma, and work hard for the future life...... "Tantai Mingde explained lightly,

Red Sleeves nodded, then didn't say anything more, and took the two of them straight to Cao Fuzhong. First of all, he asked the tailor to measure the size of Yun Lan and Mingde, in addition to the size of the body height and other dimensions, he also measured the size of the footsteps, and it was indeed necessary to make a few pairs of better boots in such a cold winter. Then they took the two of them to take a bath, and each of them gave a piece of flower soap, so that they could use it in the way of bath beans or soap horns, and wash it well, which can be washed slowly and cleanly, and it just so happens that even if their clothes are made urgently, it will take a little time to make.

Cao Yi didn't have anything to do in the afternoon, so he asked Wang Zhiyuan if he wanted to go to the Xinghuo camp to have a look, a while ago, Gongye Yuanzhou and a few of them had recovered from their injuries and were already able to walk on the ground, and they thought it was too boring to stay in Cao's mansion, so they went to the Xinghuo camp together to mingle with their brothers, and after resting, they could also see the training of those little babies, and they could also pass on their rich experience orally.

Wang Zhiyuan thought it was okay when he heard it, he hadn't been there once, so he just went over to find out what he felt in the barracks before, and left

It has been nearly six or seven years since the barracks opened, and it was decided to leave in the afternoon.

Before Cao Yi set off, he first asked people to buy a lot of cooked foods such as roast chicken, roast goose and braised beef, and put them in another carriage, and he and Wang Zhiyuan set off in the same car, naturally bringing the guards in charge of transporting Yin Liang to the secret camp this morning, because only they have the pass token and know today's pass password. Even if Cao Yi is the owner of the secret camp, if he doesn't know the pass code of the day and doesn't have a pass token, he can only wait at the door and let people go in to report, and only Liu Baiqing and one of the five leaders will come out to pick him up and let him in. This is a rule that Cao Yi has set from the beginning, even if it is himself, he cannot break or change it.

However, Wang Zhiyuan didn't know about this matter, and before he left the mountain, he had been staying in Cao's Mansion as a stable steward. After leaving the mountain, he has been busy taking disciples, or going out to handle many matters of the Taibai Chamber of Commerce, such as going to Yangzhou and Hangzhou, but the Xinghuo secret camp that is seven or eight miles away from Jiangning City has never been there, and no one has ever mentioned some good doorways in the middle to him.

Wang Zhiyuan looked out through the small window of the carriage, pointed to the land enclosed by a fence, and asked in surprise, "This enclosed land...... It's all ours? ”

"Well, it's all ours."

"How much does it cost?" Wang Zhiyuan blurted out subconsciously.

"It's not worth a lot of money, it's all barren land that no one wants, and you can't grow any crops." Cao Yi shrugged and said.

"That ......"

"But it will be planted in the second half of next year, and some land can even become fertile land." Cao Yi said with a slight smug smile.

"What's going on?"

"Hehe, you'll see it when you go in." Cao Yi pretended to be mysterious and rich.

"If you don't say it, don't say it, I'll see for myself later...... But we're not a training base, so why are we still thinking about farming? Wang Zhiyuan suddenly remembered this.

"The widows and orphans of the old Zhending army, when the time comes, I will arrange for them to live in the fields, the periphery of the camp, these are the fields that are cultivated for them, and those who are willing to cultivate will give them the right to use the fields, and the income from them is their own, and we will collect them according to the market price, if they do not want to farm, I plan to provide them with food and lodging, and give them a pension every month, so as to support them well. Didn't I always ask Uncle Wang to arrange this matter before, let those old and orphans come over, I don't know how it is going now? Cao Yi asked.
