When Cao Yi and the others came back from Lu Mansion, it was almost evening, and now the people of Qingyun Pavilion no longer got together to eat, mainly because there were too many people, so basically everyone ate their own food, but these days are a special time period, and half of all the people will leave for Yangzhou in a few days, so since yesterday, they decided to get together to eat, because there are too many people, so they found a big elegant seat that can put two tables to eat.

I don't usually get together but I don't have such an intuitive feeling for the number of people, since last night's dinner, I counted carefully, there have been as many as fifteen people, Cao Yi, Red Sleeves, Musk Yue, Raider, Tan Yun, Qi Hail, Bi Jin, Qing Wen, Qiu Wen, Sikong Ye, Sikong Youyi, Yu Youwei, Jin'er, Tangtai Mingde, and Shantai Yunlan So many people are basically full even if they are divided into two tables.

Because this afternoon in the courtyard, Cao Yi accompanied Lu Lao to drink a jar of wine, so he didn't drink it when he ate at night, and only three of the people present were men, except for Cao Yi, only Sikong Ye and Shantai Mingde, the latter was still young, and he didn't drink if he could, and Sikong Ye was not a good drinker, so everyone at the banquet replaced wine with tea.

Originally, Sikong Ye also planned to go on a study tour with Cao Yi, of course, he just thought about it, after all, he still had to take care of his sister Sikong Youyi, and he thought that his talent was far inferior to Cao Yi, so it was better to stay in Jiangning Mansion and study hard, so he gave up his previous idea.

Musk Yue and Raider stayed here because they had their own arrangements and work, while the others were basically the same kind of work in pairs, one stayed to continue to be responsible for the corresponding work arrangements, and the other went to Yangzhou to open up, so everyone has no opinions, except for the people who did not go will be a little reluctant in their hearts, as for Yunlan, one is still young, and the other is for her, Tan Yun, a close young lady, has not left, and she is with her, so I don't think my brother will be reluctant to leave, Besides, she and Sister Youyi were going to stay in class, so they didn't say much.

Only Tan Yun has the biggest opinion, if it weren't for the fact that Musk Yue didn't leave, otherwise she would definitely be coquettish and cute, and she would have begged Cao Yi to take her to Yangzhou with her, but under Musk Yue's persuasion, she seems to have recognized this reality, but since last night, she has been looking at Cao Yi with tears in her eyes, just like a kitten abandoned by her owner, pitiful and helpless.

Cao Yi had to promise to wait for Yangzhou to come back, and specially bring her back with gifts, so that Tan Yun had a little smile on his face.

After dinner, everyone else went back to Cao's Mansion in advance, because Musk Yue and Raider were going to manage the Drunken Immortal Building alone, so they had to stay and stare at the moment, and Cao Yi and Red Sleeves also stayed to accompany them, so that if there were problems, they could ask questions and communicate face-to-face to solve them. Cao Yi also pulled the two over and told them not to panic if they encountered something they couldn't solve.

According to the priority, when necessary, go directly to Yang Gong, the prefect of Jiangning, he has already said hello over there, and he will definitely help take care of Zuixianlou and other industries, and if necessary, he will come forward to help solve the problem.

Hearing Cao Yi say this, the mood of these two people calmed down a little, they were afraid that Sister Red Sleeves and Gongzi were not there, but because they did not manage well, there was a big problem, and now at least there is a backbone or someone who can backing and backing the two of them in Jiangning, and their hearts are not as panicked as before.

Some of the shopkeeper's work before, Red Sleeves should have taught them, and Musk Moon and Raiders should have learned, and in the past few days, they have just carefully checked themselves in all aspects, checked and filled in the gaps, and raised directly what they didn't understand or weak links. Especially in this part of bookkeeping and accounting, there is also the sales volume to be counted every month, such as liquor, rich eggs and Huayu soap, the flow of sales agencies of these products, such as cooperative restaurants and Qinglou, these institutions must provide the purchase price, the purchase quantity, the selling price, the number of sales, the musk moon and the raider must learn to audit and count, and learn to judge whether the account books they pay once a month are fraudulent.

On this one, it was Cao Yi who handed over the knowledge of modern accounting and finance to the red sleeves before, and now he was transferred to them by the red sleeves, which can be regarded as a kind of inheritance of the first generation of shopkeepers and the second generation of shopkeepers, of course, there will be three or four generations in the future, and finally every maid in the entire Qingyun Pavilion will play a very important role in the Taibai Chamber of Commerce. This is an arrangement planned by Cao Yi in advance, but each of them must first work in a grassroots position, and finally recruit personnel such as professional shopkeepers to assist them, and finally let each of them stand alone and manage as a whole.

When I returned to Cao's Mansion in the evening, it was already late, and Cao Yi originally just wanted to wash up hastily and go to bed, but apparently there was one person who didn't plan to do so. Cao Yi sat and lay in the bath, soaking in the warm and comfortable hot water in the cold winter season is indeed a thing that makes people feel physically and mentally comfortable, and there will always be a maid responsible for kneading and massaging you during the process. Originally, there was a special person to do this work, but Red Sleeves was not at ease, so he went into battle by himself and did it himself, and he also served Cao Yi to bathe for several years in the middle.

However, after Mrs. Gao gave Cao Yi eight personal maids, this work increased by one place, there is a raider who is responsible for sleeping and taking care of daily life, if the weather is hot and there is no need to warm the bed, the raider will serve Cao Yi from beginning to end to bathe and wipe clean, put on clean bedclothes, and then only need to be responsible for covering Cao Yi with the quilt to extinguish the lights and candles and leave to rest on his own.

If the weather is cold, the attacker will bathe and change his clothes early, and then bathe Cao Yi with the red sleeves, but when he is halfway washed, he will leave first, lie on Cao Yi's bed, and warm Cao Yi's bed with his body

, when Cao Yi lies in again, the whole quilt is really worthy of the word nephrite warm fragrance.

But the general maid is not just like this, when the master sleeps in, she gives the warm bed to the master, and then she can't leave immediately, she needs to lie down to the other end to sleep, responsible for warming the owner's feet, how to warm it? It's simple, put the owner's feet on the soft spot of your chest. As recorded in later history, Yan Song, known as one of the six traitors of the Ming Dynasty, was over eighty years old and needed two girls to warm the bed every night.

This is still for the kind of people who do not sleep with the hostess, if the host and the hostess sleep together, the maid needs to keep vigil on the side, responsible for covering the quilt, serving tea and pouring water, and when the weather is hot, they also need a fan to relieve their fever, and they can be served at any time if there is any need at night. And generally the maid has grown up with the master since childhood, although the relationship between the two is the relationship between the master and servant, but also get along for a long time and have some trust, so after adulthood, the maid also has a task is to sleep with the male host, even if it is married, when the hostess is sick or not very convenient, it also needs the maid to go into battle on behalf of the hostess.

Like the attacker, since she became Cao Yi's maid, her identity has been ranked second among the maids in Qingyun Pavilion, only a little lower than the position of the chief maid with red sleeves, because the nature of her duties can be regarded as Cao Yi's closest and closest person, and she naturally ranks high among many maids, but correspondingly, she also needs to take on the role of a real "maid". So on the first day she became a maid, she was already ready to dedicate herself, not that she had other ideas from the beginning, but that the whole society has been like this for hundreds of years, and even the raider herself felt that this was something she should do. If Cao Yi hadn't had this idea all along, she wouldn't have maintained her virginity now.

Only tonight, she seems to have made up her mind in this regard. When I took a bath and wiped my body on Cao Yi, it was not the same as usual. After a few months of adaptation, the attacker was already the same as the red sleeves, if he just wiped his body unilaterally, his face would not be red and his heart would not beat. After all, Cao Yi has to take a bath every day, and after more than four months, he has seen his body hundreds of times, and he has long been accustomed to it. But tonight, not only did the attacker blush on his face, but even when he kneaded his body, his hands were trembling, although Cao Yi felt that the attacker was a little different when he pinched it, but he didn't take it too seriously, because he was enjoying the service of the two with his eyes closed, so he didn't see anything, only the red sleeves looked at the attacker with a pair of beautiful eyes.

As usual, after kneading and massaging Cao Yi, the attacker got up in advance and left to prepare to warm Cao Yi's bed......
