Early this morning, Cao Yi accompanied Yu Youwei, Jin'er and Red Sleeves, with Gongye Yuanzhou and a group of guards, to see the suitable yard, and wanted to buy one, after all, renting in Tongfu Building for a long time is not a matter after all, not to mention that the daily rent is expensive, not to mention, there are always people coming and going in front of Tongfu Building, and it is still not very good to live there.

If you buy a yard, it doesn't matter if it's smaller, as long as everyone has a foothold, and Cao Yi and the others are estimated to stay for a few more days after the opening, at most half a month, and when everything is stable, they will return to Jiangning, and the courtyard here is estimated to have fewer people, so Cao Yi planned to buy a small one at the beginning.

However, it is not good to go to a few places early in the morning, either the location is not good, or the whole yard layout, modeling, etc. are a little cheesy, in this regard, Red Sleeves and Yu Youwei have raised objections. They don't care about the location, as long as it's not too far from the drunken fairy building, but there are still certain requirements for the quality of living.

Near noon, I didn't find a favorite yard, everyone was a little tired and hungry, so I simply ate in a big restaurant nearby, the scale was slightly smaller than yesterday's Biyun Building, but it also looked magnificent, and there were many people eating inside. Because it was already noon when Cao Yi came in, the restaurant was already full of people.

After asking if there was a seat, Cao Yi had to ask the shopkeeper to find them a table near the window. Because the wine tables in the lobby are all Eight Immortal Tables, and they are only so big that they can only be used for four to six people at most, so Gongye Yuanzhou and the guards simply separated and sat at a separate table.

At this time, Cao Yi had already ordered the dishes, waiting for the dishes to be served, and the voices of others discussing him came from his ears.

"Brother Li, do you know? The one who made a big fuss in Biyun Tower yesterday turned out to be Cao Yi, the number one talent in Jiangning! ”

Cao Yi and Yu Youwei, Red Sleeves and others glanced at each other, both of them gave Cao Yi a look, and then bowed their mouths, signaling that someone behind them was discussing you, and Cao Yi also made a boo gesture at them, wanting to hear what others said about him.

"Huh? Isn't it just a little scholar? And it is also our Yangzhou's No. 1 talent Shi Chengxuan said personally, is it possible that there is something hidden in the middle? ”

"Actually, that little scholar is Cao Yi, but it is said that at the beginning, he was afraid of causing the siege of our Yangzhou geniuses, so he pretended to be a little scholar, and felt that there was no talented scholar to compete with him when he became a little scholar, who knew that there was such a big noise at noon yesterday! Basically, half of our talented people and rich sons in Yangzhou City went to surround them. ”

After the man took a sip of wine, he continued: "Fortunately, Cao Yi was just impersonating Cao An at that time, falsely claiming to be a little scholar, and Shi Chengxuan came forward to testify, so that he could escape, otherwise Brother Li, you said, such a foreign Jiangning first-time talent, with five beautiful wives and concubines, will we Yangzhou many talented scholars let him go?" ”

"Probably not...... After all, as long as Cao Yi is defeated, it can be said that our Yangzhou talents are more talented than their Jiangning talents, and no matter who defeats Cao Yi, they will surely be appreciated and favored by the major Qinglou Oiran in Yangzhou, and it is not impossible to kiss Fang Ze at that time...... Hahahaha" came from the other with a slightly lewd laugh.

"Haha, Brother Li is really a man of temperament, and I have thought about this, but I only hate that I am not very talented, so I can only think about it."

"Brother Liu, tell me about it, how did you know that the little scholar was Cao Yi?"

"This one! It's time to talk about our first talent, Shi Chengxuan, and our first Oiran Compassion Moon! After the man finished speaking, he stopped talking, took a glass of wine and took a sip, then picked up the chopsticks and ate the vegetables, obviously hanging the appetite of the scholar surnamed Li.

"Oh, Brother Li, tell me, why are you involved with our first genius and first Oiran again?"

After the scholar surnamed Liu heard the questioning of the scholar surnamed Li, he drank the wine in the cup with satisfaction, and said: "This is to praise Cao Yi for pretending to be very good before, completely deceived Shi Chengxuan, and then under the organization of Shi Chengxuan, our four talents in Yangzhou, as well as Cao Yi, of course, participated as a little scholar, and held a party in the courtyard of the first flower in Huamanlou. ”

"If he was a little scholar who attended the party, then Xinde and Chu Mingxuan didn't mock him to death, just a little scholar, how could He De attend the gathering of the four great talents and the first Oiran there...... Oh, by the way, could it be that Cao Yi later directly said that he was the first talent in Yangzhou, so it spread like this? ”

"How can it, according to what I said later, it should be a close friend of one of the four great talents anyway, it is said that Cao Yi did not indicate at that time that he participated as a little scholar, and he was very polite to Chu Mingxuan and Duan Xinde at the beginning, and kept saying some words of admiration and worship, but Brother Li, you also know the temper of Xinde and Chu Mingxuan, not only did not admit it, but also mocked it to death......"

The scholar surnamed Liu first looked left and right, and made sure that there were no Duan Xinde and Chu Mingxuan and the people who supported them, so he continued to speak, but he also unconsciously lowered his voice and said softly: "Later, that Cao Yi, after enduring it once, twice, and three times, finally couldn't hold it back, after all, it was only three, then Cao Yi asked angrily at the time, I don't know who asked Chu Mingxuan and Duan Xinde, anyway, it means that their teacher didn't teach them how to be a person before teaching them to learn." ”

"This ...... That Xinde and Chu Mingxuan shouldn't be able to bear it, right? The scholar surnamed Li responded.

"That's for sure, they had a conflict on the spot, and they wanted to compete, but Cao Yi was also tough, and he actually picked the lyrics that Duan Xinde was good at, and the pair that Chu Mingxuan was good at, and he wanted to pick one against two!" Second Chinese Network

"So powerful? The result? Who is the best talent on both sides of our Yangzhou and Jiangning? The scholar surnamed Li asked curiously.

"Hehe, I feel ashamed to say it, two of our four great talents in Yangzhou can't even compare to Cao Yi alone."

"Both of them lost both pairs and lyrics?" The scholar surnamed Li exclaimed, and then saw that many people were looking at him, and then he shut up embarrassedly and raised his glass to the people around him to apologize.

"Well, Cao Yi first paired with Chu Mingxuan, Chu Mingxuan made four upper links in a row, Cao Yi was instantaneous and downlinked, without thinking about it at all, and then it was Cao Yi's turn to come out of the upper link, which is good, then Chu Mingxuan didn't think about it......"

"Chu Mingxuan also came out in an instant?"

"How can it! What I said Chu Mingxuan didn't think about was that he thought of the end of the party, but he hadn't come up with the next link, isn't this the same as not thinking about it, he didn't think about it for so long, didn't he think about it, didn't he just think about it! The scholar surnamed Liu said with a smile.

"......" Cao Yi and Yu Youwei looked at each other with red sleeves with a speechless expression. The story in the middle, Cao Yi as the party concerned has already told both of them last night, and the details are more detailed than what this scholar surnamed Liu said, but if it is said to arouse the interest of the audience, lay the groundwork, attract questions and other means, Cao Yi is far inferior to this scholar surnamed Liu, which leads to Cao Yi just stating the facts, while the scholar surnamed Liu is telling the story, and it is told quite well, at least even Cao Yi himself is attracted.

Cao Yi glanced at the scholar surnamed Liu, and thought in his heart that in the future, when Zuixian Mansion opened, he invited others to talk about the story, whether he would invite him to come and talk about it......

"Is it so difficult for Cao Yi's four uplinks? Chu Mingxuan didn't even come out right, this shouldn't be! The scholar surnamed Li continued to ask.

"Don't talk about Chu Mingxuan, even the other three talents, their four talents together didn't come out!"

"Huh!? It's so hard! Which four Shanglian, I want to see how difficult it is for our four talents in Yangzhou. ”

"Well, but I don't remember which four up-links are specific, let's take a good look at them when we go back, in case one of the down-links comes out, then wouldn't the two of us be smarter and more talented than the four talents of Yangzhou? Hahaha, when the time comes...... Oiran, Brother Li, you know, hehehe......" The scholar surnamed Liu and the scholar surnamed Li then let out a lewd smile that all men understand.

After that, the two of them discussed Cao Yi's "Nian Nu Jiao", but the scholar surnamed Liu remembered the poem Nian Nu Jiao, and recited it with a shaking head, and commented on some of the clear words and beautiful sentences one by one, a picture of the appearance of the Word Dao Grandmaster, which made Cao Yi feel weird to hear.

After some explanation, Cao Yi exclaimed in his heart: "Su Shi didn't think like this at the beginning, and it wasn't annotated in the Chinese textbook, he really just wrote casually, not as complicated as your analysis......"

After Cao Yi and the others finished eating, they got into the carriage and continued to look at the house, and in the carriage, Red Sleeves and Yu Youwei also teased Cao Yi, "The first talent in Jiangning singled out the four talents of Yangzhou and defeated them one by one, it's really amazing, my son." Cao Yi made a gesture to hit them, causing a burst of screams and exclamations.

……

“…… Although this place is not very big, but in Chongya Lane, this Chongya Lane is a famous rich area in Yangzhou, and the rich salt merchants and wealthy families who are basically famous are here, and at present, only this one house is left for sale in Chongya Lane, or the son of the owner's family is in Beijing High School, and their family wants to move to the capital to live before it is put up for sale...... Although it is not big among the many mansions in Chongya Lane, there are four courtyards, and the main hall is also spacious, next to it is a guest house, and the main residence at the back, in fact, the scenery in the courtyard is also very good, but no one has cleaned it for a long time, so it looks a little barren and messy......"

In the afternoon, they found three more, and finally this yard Cao Yi they saw quite like, whether it was the layout or the location and size, it was just right, everyone liked it very much, but this price, everyone didn't like it, and the price was as high as 60,000 taels of silver, even if it was Cao Yi, who spent money like running water, he gasped, and finally could only give up in pain, and the broker confessed and retreated.

It's just that I just walked out of the gate of this courtyard, and I haven't walked a few steps when I hear a lewd voice coming from me.

"This girl, you and I are destined at a glance, the red thread I hung around my waist was suddenly broken and was blown down by the wind under your feet, doesn't it mean that I am destined to marry in two days, or the girl will go with me to sit at home today, let's get to know each other and study what the child's name should be......"
