In the end, Cao Yi left from the Drunken Immortal Building alone and went to Cao's Mansion, because Red Sleeves had just returned, and both Raider and Musk Yue had to report everything to Red Sleeves in the past month, so these three people couldn't leave in the first place.

As for Tan Yun, she was also directly rejected by Cao Yi, and let her stay in Zuixianlou to study hard with her three sisters, and it was time to take on more responsibilities.

When Cao Yi arrived at Cao's mansion, he found that the porter had been standing outside the door and looking out, as if waiting for something.

"Uncle Liu, what's wrong? What are you looking at? You can't wait for me, right? Cao Yi got out of the carriage and said with a smile.

"Childe! The old slave is waiting for the son at the door, the lady of the family first went to the master's side, and then the son and the red sleeve lady also went to Yangzhou, this walk is a month, the original old people in the house, there is only the old slave left, the old slave is looking forward to it day and day, thinking night and night, I hope that the son you can return safely as soon as possible. The porter wiped tears from his eyes at the door and said excitedly.

"Yesterday, I finally saw Miss Red Sleeves and Miss Yu they came back, I thought that Childe you would arrive soon, who knew that they said Childe you went to the villa outside the city, the old slave missed Childe so much, so early this morning, I was waiting at the door, I hope to see you Childe as soon as possible!"

"Uncle Liu, don't get excited, take a good rest, aren't I coming back, and I should have been in Jiangning for the past two months, Uncle Liu, I haven't taken a bath since yesterday to today, and I sweated again in the morning, and now my body is very sticky and uncomfortable, I'll go take a shower first, and I'll have two more drinks with you when I have time!" Cao Yi smiled and comforted.

"Good, good! The old slave will not delay you, son, you have all the opportunities, don't pay attention to the old slave, the old slave is old, and loves to nag! Uncle Liu hurriedly excused himself, how dare he let his son drink with him!

Cao Yi shook his head, and then walked quickly into his yard, and he was in a hurry, thinking that Red Sleeves had been specially cleaned yesterday, but there had always been several maids in Cao Yi's yard, even if Cao Yi was gone, they were cleaning every day.

Seeing Cao Yi appear, they all saluted and said hello, Cao Yi nodded, and ordered two people casually, asking them to hurry up and prepare the hot water for the bath, he will take a bath later, otherwise in this era, there is no hair dryer, and the water absorption of the wiped fabric is not very good, and it is difficult to dry the hair after washing.

So if you want to go to see Lu Lao with Yu Youwei after lunch, then he has to speed up his movements.

Today's weather is very good, Cao Yi didn't bother to go into the study while waiting for hot water, so he simply basked in the sun in the yard, thinking about some plans for the future.

After a while, the two maids who were about to take a bath and hot water said loudly: "Childe, the hot water is ready, you can go and bathe......"

Cao Yi got up and walked to the bathhouse, and found that the little maid who had just been notified was still following behind, Cao Yi turned his head and looked at the latter strangely, the maid's face was flushed at this time, and she looked down at her toes.

"What's wrong?" Cao Yi asked puzzled.

The maid replied in a mosquito-like voice that was almost inaudible: "Childe, Sister Redsleeves and Sister Raider have not returned, you need someone to take care of you for bathing and changing clothes......

Cao Yiwan smiled: "No, I can wash it myself, you are busy with your own......"

After finishing speaking, Cao Yi left on his own, and the maid stayed in place, with a complicated face...... It was a long time before he turned to leave.

After Cao Yi took a shower and cleaned his clothes on the boat, Yu Youwei and Jin'er rushed over, and Cao Yi entertained the two of them in his study.

"Why did you come here so early, didn't we just go in the afternoon?" Cao Yi asked with a smile.

"I'll come over to see if you're back, Childe, and see if you want to cancel today." Yu Youwei responded with a sweet smile on her face.

Cao Yi smiled and shook his head: "If you don't go today, wait until the next time Lu Lao asks, when will we come back, but as soon as you answer a few days ago, it won't be over, he will definitely blow his beard and stare at me, saying that I have no conscience!" ”

Cao Yi's words made Red Sleeves laugh out loud, what Cao Yi said is really possible, if they didn't go to Lu Lao's side today, even what Lu Lao would say afterwards would be similar to what Cao Yi imitated.

"Childe, what gifts did your stepfather and two mothers bring?" Yu Youwei asked with a smile.

"What about you?" Cao Yi asked rhetorically.

"Me? I brought a quick famous inkstone to my father-in-law, and brought good Suzhou embroidery and Hangzhou silk to my two mothers-in-law, what about you, son? Yu Youwei asked with a smile.

"I brought two Yangzhou lacquerware to Lu Lao, but I didn't bring anything good to the two masters, which were wooden combs made of two small leaves of rosewood...... Cao Yi said with a little embarrassment.

Indeed, it is still very good to buy gifts for Lu Lao, literati just like those elegant things, but the two are masters, but Cao Yi has never had any concept, and asked Red Sleeves, but Red Sleeves couldn't answer, saying that the status of the two masters and wives of the son is too high, and it seems that no matter what, they feel that others have already seen it.

In the end, Cao Yi had no choice but to buy two sandalwood combs with the best materials, thinking that women, regardless of age, love beauty after all, and dressing up is indispensable, so he bought this.

Then Cao Yi asked with some concern: "Youwei, do you think it's okay to send combs to the two masters?" ”

"Of course you can, in fact, there are still things that the teacher and the teacher and the wife have not seen, they have long passed the age of pursuing high-end objects, and we, as juniors, can meet them as soon as possible, give them gifts, and express our hearts, and don't care about the rest at all." Yu Youwei explained with a smile.

Cao Yi thought about it carefully and found that this was really the case, he was obsessed with his appearance, but he didn't think as thoroughly as Yu Youwei.

"Hahaha, it's still Youwei who is a blue heart, and the words you say are different." Cao Yi teased,

"Childe, you are the first genius in Jiangnan, why do you still make fun of me as a little girl."

The three of them spent the morning in Cao Yi's courtyard, and after having lunch casually, the three of them took a carriage to Lu Lao's mansion.

Lu Lao's porter naturally knew Cao Yi and Yu Youwei, one was the closed disciple of his master, and the other was the righteous daughter newly accepted by the lady, but they were all the favorites of the lady, so he didn't dare to slack off at the door, and quickly welcomed Cao Yi and the others in, because Cao Yi and Yu Youwei both brought gifts, especially Su embroidery, silk and Yangzhou lacquerware are relatively large, so they still need someone to help carry them, and the porter hurriedly asked the little maid to come forward to help.

"Uncle Zhang, thank you!" Yu Youwei bowed to Uncle Zhang and thanked him.

"Miss, I can't help it, I can't help it!" Uncle Zhang hurriedly shook his hand and retreated, in the face of Uncle Zhang's behavior, Yu Youwei smiled slightly, and did not say anything, just express her gratitude.

Cao Yi was big, Yu Youwei and Jin'er followed, followed by a few small servants carrying things, and the group came straight to the backyard from the gate of the Lu Mansion, and sure enough, in the garden of the backyard, they saw Lu Lao, Mrs. Qin and Ya Niang basking in the sun over there.

Lu Lao was reading, Ya Niang was ordering tea, and Mrs. Qin was slightly closed her eyes and pretending to sleep, but it was also very harmonious, the three of them looked happy, but there was no tension between ordinary wives and concubines.

The three of them stopped their actions when they heard the dense footsteps, and at the same time turned their heads to look at the road, and then all three of them stood up excitedly.

"Youwei, you're here!" It's not one person who says it, but all three of them are voices, and they are very tacit.

Yu Youwei trotted forward quickly, threw herself into the arms of her two mothers, and whispered her longing, while Cao Yi touched her nose awkwardly in the back.

I was at the forefront just now, and when I saw Lu Lao, a smile was already on my face, who knew that Lu Lao and the two masters and wives would express their thoughts to Yu Youwei in unison, and completely left Cao Yi aside.

No, when Yu Youwei, Mrs. Qin, and Yaniang were hugging each other, Lu Lao was waiting on the side and had nothing to do, so he had to turn his head to look at Cao Yi with a smile on his face.

But Cao Yi didn't eat this, his embarrassment just now has not subsided until now, and he also pretended to talk to Jin'er behind him, and turned his head not to look at Lu Lao.

"Okay, okay, didn't I just talk to you first, Youwei is my daughter, and even more so your junior sister, what's the matter, you still have to be jealous with your junior sister." Lu Lao said angrily.

What kind of scene he hasn't seen, what kind of turmoil he hasn't experienced, so at a glance, he can see that Cao Yi is careful in his heart, and he directly breaks it at the moment.

Cao Yi couldn't disguise it anymore, so he stepped forward, saluted Lu Lao, and said respectfully: "Teacher, Xiaosheng is polite!" ”

"Okay, okay, it seems that after some people become the number one talent in Jiangnan, they feel that their former teachers are not qualified enough, right......" Lu Laoqian looked at Cao Yi obliquely, and said in a flat tone.

Cao Yi couldn't pretend anymore: "Old Lu, what you said is not right, when did I have this idea?" Don't frame me! ”

"Look, isn't that right, what did you just fake being polite to me?" Lu Lao glared at Cao Yi, then looked at the empty chair on the side and said, "Sit down!" ”

But this time Cao Yi ignored him, but walked to the side of the three people who were wrapped in a ball, and after they let go, Cao Yi hurriedly greeted Mrs. Qin and Yaniang.

Mrs. Qin and Yaniang were originally very kind to Cao Yi, and now they recognize Yu Youwei as their daughter, so they are naturally even more close to each other, in addition to treating Cao Yi as their master's closed disciple and their youngest protégé, now looking at Cao Yi with another look in their eyes, that is, the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, and the more she looks at it, the more satisfied she is.
