"Just now...... The guy just now...... Is it a fish mystery? Zhang Lin looked at the brothers sitting on his left and right, and asked uncertainly.

The others also looked at each other uncertainly, and said hesitantly, "It should be...... Be...... Let's do it! ”

Then everyone's eyes looked at Cao Yi, Cao Yi touched his nose in embarrassment, and said curtly: "Hehe, brothers, that ...... Fish Mystery ...... Unfortunately...... It happened to be redeemed by my little brother. ”

Everyone laughed heartily at the same time, and Wang Ji said with a smile: "Yes, little junior brother, at a young age, he has already quietly pocketed the No. 1 Oiran in Jiangning. The others also nodded yes, and Yang Xingwen said with a smile: "Cao Yi, you tell us all about the stories of talented and beautiful people in the middle, so that my brothers can learn more!" It even provoked others to make a fuss.

At that moment, Cao Yi picked out some things that could be said about the matter between him and Yu Xuanji and told everyone, and the Shen family and Shen Yan were naturally involved in the middle. Shen Yan's personality was immediately spurned and scolded by these people.

"This is really a virtue in their Shen family! Sure enough, it's not a family that doesn't enter the door! Zhang Lin complained, and the others nodded yes.

Cao Yi's heart moved and asked, "Senior Brother Zhang, why did you say this?" ”

Zhang Lin shook his head, with a trace of anger on his face, and said excitedly: "Little junior brother, don't you know, when we were in Tokyo, at the beginning, Shen Yan's second brother Shen Xing was still active with us, they were all Jiang Ning Shizi, and when they went out, it was a matter of course for the fellow villagers to hold together, but our Jiang Ning Shizi has never had any say in Tokyo, and there is no one who can carry the banner in terms of talent or influence, so he is often suppressed by other groups in the capital, But this is also a battle of knowledge and sentiment between literati, and you also know that there is no first in literature, and there is nothing unfair about this kind of controversy and competition itself......

"That Shen Xing was with us at the beginning, and even their family itself was a merchant family, and they were even spurned by others, and we also gave him a head several times, but he didn't know how to repay the favor, so he went to other groups to deal with and suppress us in turn...... Little junior brother, you should also know that their Shen family is an imperial businessman, responsible for supplying the best cloth supply of the Dayan royal family, according to what my father said, their Shen family's palace introduction is still your Cao family's strength to get it, you see that it is such a palace introduction, so that their Shen family has jumped from the family of a small and well-known cloth merchant in Jiangning City to the throne of the richest man in Jiangning City. Naturally, there are some rights and interests obtained by relying on the royal family, so the Shen family naturally has a relationship with the royal side......"

“...... Their family has a lot of money, and Shen Xing is a good fart, so he has always liked to use money to open the way, and later hooked up with King Xiang, and did his best to grovel, it was really disgusting to watch, and in order to be able to completely climb the big tree of King Xiang, he actually used us as a vote and vice versa

Joined the local scholar group in the capital, and if you join, you can join, and you have to help others suppress those of us who came out of the same place, what a white-eyed wolf who can't be raised! Zhang Lin said with a snort.

"Humph! If it weren't for his shameless and desperate flattery, he would have become a registered disciple of the prince of the country, Jiu Chen Gong? It's not that Chen Gong sees that he is a person recommended by King Xiang, plus he is too good at pretending and acting. always pretended to be elegant, humble, and well-behaved in front of Chen Gong to deceive Chen Gong, and pulled his face down to say something that made people feel sick to his stomach, but some words that the old people love to hear, otherwise, with his own level and ability, and give him decades to study hard, he will not be able to become Chen Gong's registered disciple! Wang Ji said angrily.

Cao Yi was also dumbfounded when he listened to it, it seems that their Shen family is not Shen Yan alone, this Shen Xingguang's impression from now is not good, plus Cao Yi has indeed dealt with him before, I know what kind of person Shen Xing is, the two add up, Shen Xing's image in Cao Yi's heart becomes more three-dimensional, and it is really the kind of despicable villain who has bad quality, is mercenary, and forgets his righteousness.

Ding Yu suddenly exclaimed in hindsight at this time: "Cao Yi, I remember that during the Chinese New Year last year, this place was still called Qingfeng Building, and it still belonged to their Shen family, why did it change to Drunken Immortal Building now and become your industry?" It stands to reason that their Shen family won't sell it to you, and their family is not bad for money? The other people also echoed one after another, and Ding Yu didn't say that they really didn't notice this.

Cao Yi smiled proudly: "In this way, in fact, junior brother, I can be regarded as helping the brothers out of their bad breath in advance......" At that moment, Cao Yi recounted his conflicts with Shen Yan before the Mid-Autumn Festival poetry meeting to the shocking gamble at the poetry meeting, as well as a series of disputes with the Shen family in the future, including the private selling of wine in Qingyuan Building and Cuiwei Building, and then the things paid by the Shen family. Of course, Shen Yan asked the bandits of Soul Mountain to ambush the Drunken Immortal Tower's convoy Cao Yi didn't say it, after all, there were still secrets about the Spark Secret Camp involved, and the fewer people who knew about it, the better. Besides, Cao Yi is not a child, so it is obviously impossible to tell others the secrets of his heart when they meet for the first time.

"Hahaha, I really feel comfortable when I hear it, when I float!" Wang Ji said with a smile, shouting at everyone to toast to it.

Wang Ji toasted Cao Yi alone, and said with a smile: "The personality and character of the little junior brother are really my appetite for Wang Ji, little junior brother, I have identified you as a brother, if there is anything I need to help in the future, although you say, I don't dare to make too many guarantees in big things, but some small things in ordinary times, as long as I can do what I can help, I will definitely do a good job and never refuse." ”

The others stopped listening to Wang Ji's words, and complained one after another: "Wang Ji, what do you mean by this, you can help among us, we are all people who are not willing to help, what is the difference between what you say and that Shen Xing!" "They already knew each other very well, so some jokes naturally started. Wang Ji was so choked by everyone that he had to drink and beg for mercy, and punished himself with three glasses, and the purpose of the others was achieved, which was nothing more than thinking about all kinds of things

The reason to punish Wang Gido for drinking a few glasses of wine. Cao Yi watched them fight like this, but there was really a trace of envy in his heart.

Since the beginning of his previous life, Cao Yi has always been a bachelor at home. In this life, although there are feelings for him from Red Sleeves and Tan Yun, as well as Liu Baiqing and Gongye Yuanzhou's feelings for him, he can feel the warmth, but like Wang Ji and Liu Chen, they are friends and brothers. Ordinary men are eager to have such brothers and friends, they can play and play together, usually squeeze and bury each other, and when it comes to the critical moment, they can advance and retreat together.

After drinking, in fact, everyone has already drunk a little too much, half of it is because Taibai drunk and Qinglian wine itself is a high degree of wine, Yang Xingwen and Wang Ji and others only rushed back to Jiangning from outside before the Chinese New Year, and they have never drunk such strong wine before, so it is naturally easier to get on, on the other hand, they are indeed drunk, and the most important thing about drinking is who they are with, and they get along so speculatively, at this time, it is quite a bit of a feeling that everyone is drunk without being drunk.

After a while, Red Sleeves sent six heaven-level VIP cards, one for each of Yang Xingwen, Wang Ji, Liu Chen, Ding Yu, Chen Du, and Zhang Lin. Cao Yi handed out the VIP card, and said with a smile: "A few brothers, this is a little bit of the younger brother's heart, as long as you come in with this VIP card, all consumption can enjoy a seventy percent discount, and the brothers only need to let people hold this VIP card, come over and say in advance when you want to banquet a few people, whether it is a private seat or an ordinary seat, it will be reserved for several brothers." ”

Yang Xingwen and the others naturally thanked more than once, and originally wanted to excuse themselves, but when Cao Yi proposed that this was the junior brother's filial piety to the senior brother, everyone accepted it half-pushed. Cang Yi also asked Red Sleeves to prepare four small jars of Taibai drunk and four small jars of Qinglian wine for the five people, and each of them also gave eight additional flower soaps and thirty rich eggs. Cao Yi doesn't have anything to give away now, so he can only send some hot-selling products in the restaurant out, but even if it is just a regular product, Yang Xingwen and others are also very appreciative, and they appreciate Cao Yi's behavior, but everyone didn't say anything, just keep it in mind.

When Cao Yi sent these people away, it was already a moment in the afternoon, and Cao Yi also toasted a lot during the banquet, and was also toasted a lot. Let's not talk about the future development of these people for the time being, but let them bring home the gifts after eating, at least the parents behind them will more or less accept some affection, and those few things add up to almost more than twenty taels of silver, although it is not much, but it also expresses Cao Yi's goodwill, if these people pass on Cao Yi's kindness to their respective fathers after returning to their sons, then Cao Yi has earned it.

In the Great Yan Dynasty, local officials are changed every three years, so the parents of these people will almost change their posts in another place around the middle of next year, not to mention the promotion, even if it is just a flat transfer, then when he arrives in a new place, Cao Yi can be regarded as having one more way in that place, which is bound to provide strong help for the branch of Zuixianlou and the expansion of the Taibai Chamber of Commerce.
