Cao Yi looked at the red sleeves who had been listening to the side, and said apologetically: "Red sleeves, I have to work hard for you again in the past two days, in addition to the matter of the Taibai Chamber of Commerce, the opening of the Zuixian Building, and the yard on the side of Chongya Lane also needs you to arrange for people to clean it inside and out, and then go to buy some local old mothers and maids, servants and servants, and then go to purchase some things for daily life after the personnel are complete, and then you will let Qifei and Qingwen both accompany you, oh, by the way, you are also called by the Taitai Mingde, and you can use it as you want." ”

Red Sleeves showed a gentle smile, blessed Cao Yifu, and said softly: "What did the son say, this is what Red Sleeves should do, how can there be any hard work." And even if Childe doesn't say it, Red Sleeves plans to take the time to arrange that side in the next two days, so that Childe can go over and live when he wants. ”

Cao Yi said with a smile: "Sure enough, the red sleeves know me best, the manpower over there in the Zuixian Building, if there is any free, let them go to the newly bought yard to help clean it, and the remuneration will be paid separately, anyway, it is also empty over there, and we will also need money to find someone to clean it again, so we will take the lead in using the Zuixian Building first, and then the protective arrangements such as the nursing home of the new courtyard, you will inform Brother Gongye separately later, he knows how to arrange the manpower, how many guards are needed, duty time or something, You just let him take full responsibility for this. ”

"Well, Childe, I know, but there is one more thing to ask Childe, what should we write on the plaque at the gate of the courtyard?" Redsleeves asked.

Although everyone in Jiangning is called Cao Mansion, but in fact, what is written on the door plaque is the Lu State Mansion, or the current official family personally wrote, before because of the defeat of Qigou Pass, the head of the family at that time Cao Bin was demoted to the right Xiao Wei General, and later because of the meritorious service in Xiongzhou, he became the envoy of the military festival in the service and Wuning, guarded Xiongzhou, and led the military affairs of Xuzhou, Sizhou, Haozhou, and Suzhou, and was named the Duke of Lu, so there is a plaque of Jiangning Cao Mansion now.

However, because the Cao family was hung in Jiangning before, it was Cao's Mansion, and other people's titles were also Cao's Mansion, at most, they were called General Cao's Mansion, but the Luguo Mansion was rarely mentioned, so Red Sleeves specially asked.

"Just Cao Mansion, anyway, it's just a few of us who live." Cao Yi said nonchalantly.

Then the three of them went to the side hall for dinner together, and after dinner, Cao Yi ran to find Fei Haomiao and told him about moving to the new courtyard in a few days. Naturally, Liu Defa's compensation and reconciliation were all recounted.

Fei Haomiao didn't say much else, after all, this is the safest way to act at the moment, as for Liu Chengze's side, it is the collection of evidence, the verification of verification, and it is always good to prepare in advance, and when he feels that the time is ripe, he can take it out at any time to deal with Liu Chengze, at this point, Fei Haomiao naturally has his own thoughts as the governor of Yangzhou. The game and balance in officialdom, although Cao Yi can understand it, he doesn't want to get involved, it's too complicated and laborious, and everything has to be considered, which is also the reason why he is unwilling to gain fame, so Cao Yi didn't say much about Liu Chengze's violation of the law with Fei Haomiao, and it was completely up to Fei Haomiao to decide.

But Fei Haomiao has a big opinion on Cao Yi's move out of the Zhizhou Mansion, and feels that after moving out, he will not be able to fulfill his senior brother's responsibilities like now, and he is sorry for the care requirements mentioned in the teacher's letter. In the end, Cao Yi shirked it on the grounds that it was not convenient to enter and leave the Zhizhou Mansion every day, and there would be people coming over there in Jiangning in a few days, and so many people would live in the Zhizhou Mansion at that time, and said that he would often bring Yu Youwei to visit the Zhizhou Mansion in the future.

Fei Haomiao thought in his heart, since Cao Yi now has a yard, it can't always be empty, so Fei Haomiao had to agree later, but specially reminded Cao Yi to pay attention to safety.

Cao Yi also agreed and said that he would not let his guard down. He also told Fei Haomiao about his business cooperation with the Liu family, but Fei Haomiao didn't say anything, but he just felt that his junior brother was indeed a demon, and he behaved like an old man in his fifties and sixties, not like a sixteen-year-old boy at all. The two brothers chatted until late that night, and Cao Yi also told and discussed the future planning and business philosophy of the Taibai Chamber of Commerce with Fei Haomiao for the first time.

This junior brother is too demonic, not only is the poetry and talent amazing, but now it seems that he has an extraordinary talent in the way of business management. Of course, it is not always Cao Yi who is talking, Fei Haomiao also gave a little suggestion to Cao Yi with his own experience and experience in the planning of the Taibai Chamber of Commerce, and Cao Yi also readily accepted it, after all, what Fei Haomiao proposed can indeed make the whole plan more perfect and refined.

……

The next morning, the weather in Yangzhou looked very good, and today the red sleeves took Qifei and Qingwen to receive the yard, and let people go in to clean it, and the people to be used in the yard were complete, so it was natural to find the Yapo in Yangzhou to buy it.

Cao Yi, Yu Youwei, and Jin'er were also preparing to go out after breakfast, but they were neither going to Zuixianlou nor to the newly accepted Chongya Lane mansion.

The three of them went to the largest painting boat on the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal today - Xiaoxiang Fang, because today is the day when Diaosuo invited the six major Oiran of Yangzhou on behalf of Yusuo, and the invitations of Diaosuo before were sent by Duan Xinde one by one, there was no way, the teacher agreed to help Cao Yi do this thing, so as a disciple of Diaosuo, he could only come out to run errands.

But fortunately, the six Oiran finally agreed, after all, Diaosuo's status in Yangzhou's literary world is there, and there are also the current four talents in Yangzhou and Lu Xiaofeng and Wang Honghua among the four talents of the previous generation, as well as Cao Yi, the first talent in Jiangning, who has long been rumored to be in Yangzhou, will all be present.

This is already a first-class event for Yangzhou's literary circle, and usually only during the Mid-Autumn Festival or Lantern Festival, so many heavyweight talents may be gathered. However, in the end, Diaosu was still not ready to participate in this gathering, so he asked his disciple Duan Xinde to come over and bring a message, saying that you young people should do this event by themselves, he is old, so he can't come......

Except for the six major Oiran and Chu Mingxuan, who didn't know about it, several other people who had participated in the previous dinner in the Zhizhou Mansion knew that today's "prosperous era of the literary world" organized by Diaosuo was only held because of a bet with Cao Yi. It's not like Fishing has lost, but Cao Yi has fulfilled all the conditions he proposed, so he naturally agreed to do a good job for Cao Yi and invite the six major Oiran to participate in a grand event.

For the six Oiran, on the one hand, it is the appointment of Diaosuo, even if the people present at that time are like Diaosuo, Chen Gong, Wen Gong, who are already fifty or sixty years old, they will gladly go to the appointment, not to mention that there are so many young talents on the scene now, among the six Oiran, perhaps except for Minyue, the others still hope to be able to use this event, or with the help of the fame of these talents can achieve each other.

Min Yue is mainly because in another month, she will leave for Bianjing's alum building, so the talented people here in Yangzhou, unless they go to Bianjing to study in the future, they will rarely have the opportunity to meet again. Hua Manlou has always had the support of Alum Lou behind it, and it was the same before, generally after Hua Manlou's popular head card won the title of Yangzhou's first Oiran, he would be sent to the Beijing Alum Tower, retrained in the Alum Tower in the capital for a period of time, and then after the selection, he restarted his career as a famous actor in Bianjing......

And all over the country, there are more than a dozen green buildings like Hua Manlou that provide all kinds of famous artists and Oiran to the alum building, so the alum tower can always occupy the reputation of the first green building in the capital in Bianjing. Because it continuously selects excellent Oiran from all over the country, and then selects three to four of these Oiran to become the top façade of the alum building. In addition, everyone is often the best choice for each of them, and they can often have their own skills, and they can attract topics and attention as soon as they appear in the capital.

When the time came, Cao Yi, Yu Youwei and Jin'er got into a carriage from the gate of the Zhizhou Mansion and drove all the way along the stone road at the gate towards the direction of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal. At this time, the spring breeze in Yangzhou city is warm, and the bright spring light shines on the bustling streets, and also shines on the willows on both sides of the canal. The grass on both sides of the whole canal grows and warblers fly, the silk silk blows the embankment, whether it is willow or low bushes, the new branches on it are covered with light green and even bright yellow buds, and some of the flowers that will bloom in early spring are already budding at this time, and the air is filled with all kinds of floral fragrance and the unique bright breath of spring.

After a while, the carriage traveled to an open canal wharf, but at first glance, this wharf is usually used to dock this kind of green building or rich people's painting boat, the wharf is dressed up around the flower flags, the flag is fluttering, there is no kind of freight wharf that is Cao Yi when they came to Yangzhou by boat, the wharf is dirty and messy, and the air is not the smell of fishy, but I feel fragrant.

Walking on the pier, among the colorful flags around, there seems to be an illusion of being in a sea of flowers and full of warblers.
