Cao Yi had never been to Liu's Mansion before, and the last time he talked about cooperation with Liu Defa, he was also in the courtyard of Mingyulou, so this time it was the first time to come, and as soon as the three of them entered the palatial gate, they felt a little shocked.

Even Cao Yi has seen the Forbidden City of the Forbidden City in Beijing in his previous life, and still thinks that the mansion of the richest man in Yangzhou in front of him is too tyrant, not to mention the rest, the floor height on their side alone seems to be much higher than that of ordinary people. You can see when you enter the gate that the roofs of the corridor are very high, and Cao Yi has not seen anything taller than him since he crossed over, and there is not even a little lower than him.

Cao Yi thought about it in his heart, and he didn't understand the reason why Liu Mansion was so high, not to mention Liu Baiqing and Tan Yun, one is from a military background, since the founding of the Great Yan Dynasty, the army was formed according to the recruitment system, and it was the former homeless or people who couldn't live would choose to be soldiers, of course, those who have a military background in their own family are another matter. And Tan Yun is a complete rural child, and he will only be sold by his original parents if he can't live anymore, so the best mansion they have seen is Jiangning Cao Mansion and the Zhizhou Mansion here in Yangzhou.

Originally, the two of them thought that the Zhizhou Mansion was already big and luxurious enough, but now they just walked in from the main entrance of the Liu Mansion, and they felt that their cognition was about to be refreshed. Whether it is the grand scale and grand type that can be seen at present, as well as the attention to the materials and materials, the word luxury will be vividly explained.

The three of them remained motionless after entering the door, although they were indeed quite surprised, but not to the point of staying where they were, because they did not know the way, but after the porter welcomed them to the door, he seemed to have forgotten to give them the way in front or to send someone to guide them, but stayed aside with a smile on his face.

Cao Yi clenched his right hand into a fist and covered his mouth, coughed a few times, and wanted to prompt the porter to lead the way quickly.

Originally, he looked at Cao Yi and the three of them in amazement at all the porters in Liu's mansion, and quickly restrained his expression, every time a new guest outside entered Liu's mansion, it was the most anticipated time for him, expecting others to see all this in the mansion, or stunned, or amazed, all kinds of performances can make him feel a kind of pride and pride, which is also the most satisfying part of his life in addition to being able to get a lot of monthly money.

"Bang Bang!" The porter clapped his palms, and then a few small servants appeared carrying three seats, each seat was cushioned, Cao Yi looked at it, and instantly understood that the corridor and the roof of the house were built so high, it turned out that it was in Liu's mansion, and he even had to sit on this kind of soft chair carried by two people back and forth. I don't know if the people in Liu's Mansion are really luxurious or because Liu's Mansion is really too big.

But then the porter had clearly told him that the reason was the latter, and the porter explained proudly: "Three distinguished guests, because our Liu Mansion is too big, if you just walk, it will take a long time, and it will make the distinguished guests feel tired, so our Liu family always has this kind of soft chair at the door for distinguished guests to ride, and the three of you please sit down, and they will treat you to the side of the head of the house." ”

After finishing speaking, the porter deliberately looked at the faces of the three people, and the stunned appearance of Liu Baiqing and Tan Yun made him feel great psychological satisfaction, but when he saw Cao Yi's side, he saw that Cao Yi just smiled and nodded to him, and sat on the soft chair parked at his feet. However, Cao Yi's heart was not so calm on the surface, but the waves were turbulent and very shocking.

Although the operation of Liu's house is too extravagant, it will not make Cao Yi reach this level of shock, Cao Yi is shocked by the speech demeanor and tone of this concierge, as if he is like a TV shopping host in his previous life, he has been boasting about the goodness of Liu's house, and it is almost said that this soft chair is a "stainless steel non-stick chair" and "Thai latex cushion" and "eight hearts and eight arrows" The noble enjoyment, sitting is earning......

Cao Yi dispelled the thoughts in his heart, and at this time, the three of them were already sitting in the soft chair carried by the little servant and shuttling around the Liu Mansion, even if they were already mentally prepared, they were still surprised by the huge scale of the Liu Mansion. At this time, Cao Yi sat on the soft chair, his body rose and fell with the soft chair, and he even thought in his mind that it would be better if there was a tour guide at this time.

While Cao Yi was thinking like this, he seemed to suddenly see something out of the corner of his eye, and hurriedly turned his head to take a look, only to see a figure flashing by. A smile appeared at the corner of Cao Yi's mouth, if he was not mistaken, the person just now seemed to be the young master of this mansion, Liu Chengze, who had a serious conflict with himself, but judging from his initiative to retreat just now, it seems that this rich boy brother was severely reprimanded by his father, or "friendly" education, knowing that Cao Yi was a guest today, so after seeing it, he took the initiative to retreat......

Although Cao Yi doesn't know what the specific reason is, in Liu Chengze's own home, he can see that he still takes the initiative to retreat in his own home field, which at least shows some attitude. At least for now, Liu Chengze does not want or is not allowed to conflict with himself again. Then on the Liu family's side, the current cooperation is still stable and safe.

Cao Yi shook his head, no longer caring about Liu Chengze, but watching the mansion and garden landscape of this Liu Mansion by himself, it seems that the Lingering Garden and the Humble Administrator's Garden in later generations are not as large and magnificent as the current Liu Mansion, Cao Yi sighed, sure enough, if you have money, you can do whatever you want.

At the same time, Cao Yi was also quite shocked in his heart, because along the way, in addition to seeing those magnificent Xuanju, the front building and the back hall, and the beautiful garden scenery, he also saw the guards with knives at the entrance and exit of each corridor, he and Liu Baiqing glanced at each other, and saw the frightened look in the eyes of both sides, the strength of these guards and the momentum on their bodies, each of them should not be underestimated, and it is indeed worthy of being one of the four great families of the Salt Gang that has been inherited for nearly a thousand years, plus the unparalleled wealth, there are guards with this strength to protect the courtyard, It's also a normal thing.

At the same time, Cao Yi was also a little afraid in his heart, he only brought over fifty guards before, and they were also distributed in the Zuixian Building, the warehouse, the two workshops and his own people, just looking at it all the way, there were already at least seventy or eighty guards, Cao Yi believed that he was just taking the nearest road from the door to Liu Defa's courtyard in the Liu Mansion, if calculated according to the scale of the Liu Mansion, the number of guards is not at least two or three hundred.

Fortunately, I thought about it comprehensively at the beginning, and chose to negotiate peace and cooperate with the Liu family, otherwise, if I really fought to the death at that time, I might be able to escape and ensure safety, but others, like Yu Youwei and **, Qingwen, Qifei and others, if they don't pay attention, they will definitely be taken away or even killed by the Liu family's concentrated forces. If the Liu family is determined to die, then it is estimated that it will be very dangerous. Unless he stays in the governor's mansion all the time.

After a long while, Cao Yi and the three of them finally arrived at the center of the backyard of the Liu Mansion, which belonged to the courtyard of the head of the Liu family. As soon as the three of them got off the soft chair, Liu Defa had already greeted him.

"Cao Gongzi! You can't go out to meet you, please forgive me! Liu Defa clenched his hands into fists and let out a hearty laugh.

Cao Yi hurriedly stepped forward and gave Liu Defa a junior salute, although Liu Defa currently asks for him and always has a relationship with his peers, but the age of others is over there.

Moreover, Liu Defa has always been polite and courteous to Cao Yi since he met Cao Yi, so that Cao Yi can't find any grooves.

After Cao Yi finished saluting, he pointed to the wine jar that Liu Baiqing was carrying in his hand and said to Liu Defa: "Master Liu, the first time I came to visit you, there is nothing to bring, I brought two jars of Taibai drunk and two jars of Qinglian wine, although it is not much, but it is still enough for the head of the Liu family to drink in these six days." ”

"Oh? Cao Gongzi, what else do you have to say in the past six days? Liu Defa really deserves to be the richest man in Yangzhou, and he immediately discovered the key point in Cao Yi's words.

Cao Yi smiled at Liu Defa, "Master Liu, this is the reason why I came today, I am here to tell you, you let your fleet accept the 50,000 jars of Taibai drunk and 20,000 jars of Qinglian wine at the dock in Jiangning in six days, of course, you are also ready for half of the market price that was said before, and we will pay the money with one hand and deliver the goods with the other." ”

"Really!?" Even though he has become the richest man in Yangzhou, Liu Defa, who has seen all kinds of big scenes, still stood up excitedly when he heard this, and exclaimed.

Cao Yi didn't answer, just looked at Liu Defa and smiled.

Liu Defa also realized his gaffe, smiled unnaturally, and sat down again: "It really surprised Zaixia, I originally thought that it would take at least half a month to deliver the goods." ”

Cao Yi also laughed: "The head of the Liu family has become the most distinguished guest of honor in our winery, so let the winery work day and night, and now it can be made in advance." This has just reached the delivery quantity of this month, so I immediately came over to inform the Liu family master, but the Liu family master can rest assured, although he is working day and night, the quality of the two wines is absolutely guaranteed, so the Liu family master does not need to worry about this. ”

"I don't worry about Cao Gongzi doing things, although saying this may make Cao Gongzi unhappy, but Cao Gongzi has such a good family background, and he can start from scratch, and create such a large-scale industry at his current age, it can be said that he is young and promising, compared with my unsuccessful son, it is really different. No, before you came, I taught him a very good lesson, so that he could either reconcile with Cao Gongzi and you, let go of his mentality and study hard with you. If you still can't help it, then you will hide as far away as you are, and if you still have a conflict with you, I don't ask the reason, just smoke him. Liu Defa looked at Cao Yi and said with a smile.

Cao Yi combined Liu Chengze saw his performance just now, and realized in his heart that what Liu Defa said should indeed be true, and said with a smile at the moment: "The head of the Liu family has won the award, I am just lucky, I only brought four jars of wine this time, and I still don't want to go, but in six days, the master of the Liu family will have a lot more wine than me." ”

After saying that, the two of them laughed out loud at the same time......
