After Cao Yi thought about everything, Cao Yi remembered that he had to go downstairs this morning to distribute red envelopes to all employees, according to tradition and habits, it should have been the seventh day of the first month and then distribute the opening of the door, but the reputation of Zuixianlou in Jiangning City is too big and popular, and many people have already made an appointment for a place before the year, and they are full of appointments from the first day of the first month to the Lantern Festival. This is also a new kind of membership privilege proposed by Cao Yi for those VIP card customers before the Spring Festival.

All VIP card customers, in advance to book an ordinary position or a private seat, then will be in the VIP card in advance to withhold the consistent money, if as promised, then the consistent money will be deducted from the follow-up consumption, if the appointment time within an hour does not come, then will be directly deducted this consistent money, of course, these are written clearly in black and white, Cao Yi also specially prepared a manual for this - "Drunken Xianlou VIP Convention", and let people make thousands of copies of printing, given to every VIP customer.

Cao Yi distributed the door opening profit to all employees in the morning, but everyone is the same, there is no difference between size and quantity, no discrimination, the amount is not large, just to make everyone happy. It is true that these waiters can basically be said to be open all year round, and only when they are not busy do they have the opportunity to take turns to take a break, but at present, in order to make more money, no one has taken a break until now.

At noon, Red Sleeves suddenly came up and said: "Son, there is a group of noble sons downstairs, and the leader is holding a VIP card belonging to Governor Yang, and said that he came to you for a drink......

Cao Yi looked at the red sleeves suspiciously: "Governor Yang's VIP card...... Your son? It's Brother Xingwen! ”

Cao Yi happily said to Red Sleeves: "Quick! Fast! Hurry up and ask Brother Xingwen to come up and ......"

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately changed his words: "No need, I'll go down by myself, please take it!" ”

When he went down to the first floor, Cao Yi saw Yang Xingwen standing in a group of people, all of them looked rich or expensive from the way they dressed, but it should still be Yang Xingwen's highest status, because everyone was talking and laughing around Yang Xingwen.

Cao Yi stepped forward quickly and smiled heartily: "Brother Xingwen, are you here?" Don't introduce me to them, these young heroes are all ......"

"Brother Yi, come on, let me introduce you to this is Zhang Lin, the son of Master Zhang of Jiangning's Tongju, this is Liu Chen, the son of Lord Liu, the son of Lord Liu, the son of Lord Wang, the son of Lord Wang, the son of Lord Ding, the commander of the Jiangning regiment, Ding Yu, and this is Chen Du, the son of Lord Chen, the assassin of Jiangning." Yang Xingwen beckoned Cao Yi to come over and introduce the past one by one.

Cao Yi naturally greeted them respectfully one by one, and then invited Yang Xingwen and others to the elegant seat on the third floor, first let Yang Xingwen sit on the seat, and then the others were also arranged to the top position, and he accompanied him at the end, not that Cao Yi was afraid of them, but because Cao Yi, as the youngest of everyone, naturally did enough courtesy, and because everyone who came was Yang Xingwen's friend, Cao Yi gave enough face, and they were all treated as brothers.

Cao Yi also asked Red Sleeves to arrange a whole table of Zuixianlou's signature dishes in the back kitchen, but before the hot dishes came up, the waiters first served a few cold dishes, among which there were rich and noble

Egg. These people saw the rich eggs, and they really discussed it, and they had eaten this auspicious rich egg at home in the past few days, but they didn't know where to buy it, and now after listening to Cao Yi's introduction, they knew that it was the signature dish of the Drunken Immortal Building.

This time, the children of these eunuchs brought by Yang Xingwen are generally much older than Cao Yi, basically twenty-five or sixteen years old, and they have never been in Jiangning City before, Yang Xingwen went to Hangzhou to make up for a real gap because he passed the palace examination, and most of the others went to the capital Guozijian to study, and several of them can even be regarded as Lu Lao's disciples, so when it comes to the relationship with Cao Yizhen, they can also be regarded as brothers in the same sect.

“…… In the capital, Guozijian has not made a name for himself, and his reputation has not been obvious in the past two or three years, but he has been cultivated by Master Lu, and he feels ashamed of his teacher's kindness, and he has returned to Jiangning for so many days, and he still does not dare to go to Master Lu's mansion to pay New Year's greetings......" Chen Du said with a sigh at this time.

"Brother Chen, you don't dare to go to Master Lu's mansion to meet you, so we don't dare to go......" Wang Ji said with a wry smile.

“…… However, Lu Shi can be regarded as a famous teacher this time, judging from the literary style of Cao Yi's junior brother, now he is still only staying in Jiangning City and has never been to other places, and his talent has been widely spread all over the world. In the whole capital, it is widely spread that the little junior brother's "Water Tune Song Head" and "Autumn River Flower Moon Night", those literati and ink writers and Qinglou Oiran will take out the poems from time to time to discuss. And from my point of view, because you don't live in the capital, junior brother Cao Yi, there is no direct competition and suppression on the influence of those talented and beautiful people, and they also admit that you are brilliant and amazing......"

“…… However, if you really go to the capital, these talented people with low eyes and masters will jump out again, and they will take the opportunity to suppress you, no matter what, the little junior brother is also an outsider like us, how can the local romantic talents in the capital lose face and be taken advantage of by the little junior brother. Moreover, if you defeat the junior brother in the poetry competition, you can also improve your fame and reputation, and there will definitely be a large number of people rushing to do it......" Liu Chen said with a smile.

Everyone nodded in approval, and Cao Yi naturally modestly shirked and said some words like false praise from the brothers. Although Cao Yi's age is almost a round younger than them, but after the conversation during the banquet, everyone is also speculative, with Yang Xingwen's personality, the friends they have made are also very good people, and everyone does treat Cao Yi as a little junior brother, so the atmosphere is very harmonious, and everyone chats very happily, in addition to Yang Xingwen, other Wang Ji, Chen Du, Zhang Lin, Liu Chen, Ding Yu are not pedantic nerds, of course, they do not have the innate arrogance and squirting habits of other official children, The conversation and chat are also sincere and not pretended.

Ding Yu raised his glass and gestured to touch a glass of wine with everyone, and said with a wry smile: "At the beginning, these people were also considered to be good at Shilin in Jiangning City, not to mention the unparalleled literary talents, at least they were at the upper middle and upper level. However, when I arrived in Kaifeng, Tokyo, and entered the national prison, I knew what it meant to have a sky outside the sky, and there were people outside the people, and during this period, I naturally suffered some criticism because I was not a local person in the capital, and I made some jokes.

has always been looked down upon by them, but fortunately, after the Mid-Autumn Festival, your poems and words were passed on to the past, and it can be regarded as a little bit of a situation for our Jiangning talents, and those children of the Beijing officials and eunuchs have slightly restrained their momentum. ”

Everyone nodded with empathy, and Zhang Lin sighed: "This is indeed the case, maybe we will have to rely on you to help us find the field in the future, so you must study hard, and after passing the test in the future, go to the capital Guozijian to give us Jiangning Shizi a long face, so that those who are usually high-eyed and low-mouthed and smelly can have a good look at the name of our Jiangning No. 1 talent." ”

It has been a few days since they returned to Jiangning from the capital, and naturally from their fathers and the people around them, they found out the name of Cao Yi Jiangning's first talent. When they were in the capital before, they didn't spread it in such detail and specificity, they only knew that a talented man named Cao Yi had a couplet, wrote a poem, and wrote a poem, as for how old he was, what he looked like, and what his family background was, he didn't know anything.

"Having said that, when the little junior brother arrives in the capital, when the time comes, a few of us will be senior brothers, but we have to take the little junior brother to pick up the wind and wash the dust, little junior brother, I tell you, this capital, is indeed more elegant and meteorological than our Jiangning, when the time comes, we will take the little junior brother you to the alum building to see, the Oiran competition there is really a lot of money, among which we don't even dare to think about the big money of buying flowers and sending flowers...... Wang Jibei said with a smile.

Then everyone chatted from the top brand of the Alumlou to the eight heads of Jiangning City, and then from the eight heads of the eight lines to the first Oiran fish mystery in Jiangning, during which Zhang Lin suddenly asked: "A few of us have just been here for a few days, and it is said that the first Oiran fish mystery freshly baked in Jinfeng Building was ransomed when he turned around, but I don't know who redeemed the fish mystery." When we came back last year, we also went to Jinfeng Lou to meet a few times, and we had a few times, it is true that whether it is Quyi talent or appearance, it is the best choice, and talking and chatting is even more wonderful and lovely, little junior brother, you have been staying in Jiangning, do you know the specific details of Yu Xuanji's redemption?

Cao Yi touched his forehead and didn't know how to answer, at this time there was a knock on the door outside the house, and then the door of the private seat was pushed open, it was Yu Youwei and Jin'er's master and servant, it seemed that they were walking around the restaurant as usual, and they felt tired while listening and learning, so they came back to the private seat to rest, and then as soon as the door opened, he shouted with a sweet smile when he didn't see the situation inside, "Childe!" ”

In the end, I noticed that so many people inside were eating, and Yu Youwei and Jin'er were stunned for a while.

“……”

“……”

Yu Youwei and Jin'er outside the private seat, and Cao Yi and others in the private seat stared at each other, especially Zhang Lin, who had just asked Cao Yi if he could know the situation of the fish mystery, his eyes widened even more, and he looked incredulous. After a while, Yu Youwei reacted first, blessed Cao Yifu, and said in a soft tone with a hint of wisdom: "Childe, I'm bothering you, the slave and maid are ...... retire."

After speaking, no matter what happened to the people inside, he quickly closed the door of the elegant seat and fled......
