Cao Yi thought of it and did it, and asked people to reply immediately, and he would go to Daming Temple on time for spring in two days. Then he asked Red Sleeves to return to the Zhizhou Mansion at night, and he brought ten jars to get drunk, and he wanted to bring them over to Steward Xu, after all, the rest of the matter still depends on him to make a final decision.

After Cao Yi and Red Sleeves returned to Zhizhou Mansion for dinner in the evening, Cao Yi took Yu Youwei, followed by a few small servants holding ten altars of Taibai drunk and came to the door of Steward Xu's small courtyard. The Zhizhou Mansion is already very large, and Steward Xu is really senior, and he also has the status of one person in the Zhizhou Mansion and above ten thousand people, and he only needs to listen to Fei Haomiao in the entire Zhizhou Mansion, and everyone else has to listen to him.

Of course, except for Cao Yi and Yu Youwei, after all, these two are Fei Haomiao's younger brothers and sisters, and they are closer to Lord Zhizhou. Steward Xu naturally wanted to take the two of them to heart, but he didn't hear the people below say that these two came to visit, so he didn't care that he was still soaking his feet at this time, and he didn't dry them, so he immediately put on clogs and ran out.

Cao Yi looked at Steward Xu's posture and said jokingly: "Steward Xu is really outward, you are greeting each other upside down!" ”

"Hahaha, Childe laughed, I don't know what wind has blown Childe and Miss Youwei into my broken yard today, it really makes my place shine." Steward Xu hurriedly welcomed the two of them to the front hall.

After the three of them were seated, Cao Yi stopped Steward Xu from arranging for someone to order tea, and said, "The two of us just finished eating, so we won't drink some tea. ”

"Childe and Miss are polite, if there is anything to be told, what do you want or not, if you let the adults know, you will have to punish me." Steward Xu said in an exaggerated tone.

Cao Yi laughed a few times, pointed to the wine jar brought by the little servant and said: "Steward Xu, this is the Ten Altars Taibai Drunk, I know that you usually drink a few glasses, so this will be given to you as a reward, what about me, I also hope that Steward Xu can go to the Daming Temple on the outskirts of the city at midnight the day after tomorrow, and you don't need to do anything, just go to the past and watch a good show by the way!" ”

Steward Xu was naturally excited about the ten jars sent by Cao Yi to be too drunk, he had drunk this wine before, and it was still rewarded by adults, the taste, don't mention it, now that he thinks about it, he is still salivaing, but at this price, he can't stand it, not to mention that the Drunken Immortal Building has not opened yet, he just can't buy it if he wants to.

So as long as Cao Yi doesn't mention anything that is very excessive, he will do things that damage the reputation of the Zhizhou Mansion or damage the reputation of adults, but listening to what Cao Yi said just now, compared to these ten altars too drunk, what he wants to do seems to be ...... It's too simple.

"Gong ...... Childe, this ...... Is it really just to go to Daming Temple to watch a play the day after tomorrow? Steward Xu was still a little incredulous, and asked nervously.

Cao Yi showed a smile on his face: "It's really this thing, there is no aftermath, my original intention is to think that Steward Xu can arrive at Daming Temple at that time the day after tomorrow, maybe you will see some things, maybe you can't see it, if that thing happens, Steward Xu only needs to be able to tell the events you see in the future to confirm its true existence, which is equivalent to being a witness." ”

Steward Xu still had a puzzled expression on his face, in his mind, there was only one thought at this time, and that was - these ten altars are too drunk and too easy to earn!?

Cao Yi looked at the expression on Steward Xu's face at this time, and knew that he must still be full of doubts in his heart, so he explained again: "Steward Xu, you really don't need to do anything, and even you need to dress up a little to make yourself appear less conspicuous, it's best that no one can recognize you as the governor of the Governor's Prefecture, mainly because I guess that someone will be unfavorable to me at that time, if this really happens, I just hope that you can testify to me as a witness at that time." ”

"If that's the case, then I'll definitely come forward to testify for my son, but ...... Childe, is there really someone who is not good for you? Do you want to go down and talk to the adults......" Steward Xu said worriedly.

"No, no, senior brother, he has a lot of opportunities, how can he waste time on such trivial matters, not to mention that I am just guessing that someone may be unfavorable to me now, as for whether it will be at that time, I am actually not very sure, so it is possible that Steward Xu You still have a trip in vain......" Cao Yi shirked again and again, and then said with a smile.

"Hahaha, how can there be anything that runs in vain, not to mention that this season, it is also the time to go to Daming Temple to go to the green and incense, and I can just go over to relax myself, not to mention that you also gave me ten altars so politely to get drunk, not to mention just let me go to Daming Temple for spring that day, even if you let me stay in Daming Temple for two nights, I am willing!"

"Steward Xu laughed, you seem to be washing your feet just now, then Youwei and I won't bother you, you continue, we will retire after we finish talking, Steward Xu can drink some wine at night, and you will tell me when you finish drinking, hahaha!" Cao Yi saluted to Steward Xu, and Yu Youwei on the side also got up and said a blessing.

"Ten altars are enough, Childe is too polite, I'll send Childe and Miss!" Steward Xu also hurriedly stood up and sent the two to the gate of the courtyard, where they were persuaded by Cao Yi and Yu Youwei to go back.

At this time, the sky and night scene dimmed, but there was a moon hanging in the sky, the moonlight was relatively bright, and the governor's mansion was not too stingy with lights, and there were lanterns hanging on the main corridors, so that you could see clearly even at night. Yu Youwei raised her head and looked at Cao Yi on the side, and asked softly, "Childe, is it really possible that Chu Mingxuan will be unfavorable to you the day after tomorrow?" ”

"There is a great possibility, although it is still inconclusive, but in the past two days, everyone has been discussing, saying that they want to deprive Chu Mingxuan of the name of the four great talents in Yangzhou, and it was also rumored that his teacher Wei Mu was going to expel Chu Mingxuan from the division, which is definitely a great blow to Chu Mingxuan, who has been smooth sailing since childhood." Cao Yi raised his head and glanced at the bright moon hanging in the night sky, and said lightly.

And in any case, although the most fundamental reason for these two things is that he ran away directly after losing the competition, and did not fulfill the promise of the good negotiation before the competition, which is equivalent to breaking his promise. But in Chu Mingxuan's mind, he would definitely put all the faults on my head, and he definitely hated me to the core, so it was very normal to do it to me. ”

Cao Yi said in a flat tone, analyzing other people's things that may be unfavorable to him is like talking about other people, and there are no mood swings at all.

"Or ...... Childe, don't you go, right? Since there will be a greater danger, why bother to take risks in person, if the gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, you can completely ignore Chu Mingxuan. Yu Youwei said anxiously.

Cao Yi shook his head and smiled faintly, explaining: "Now public opinion is unfavorable to Chu Mingxuan, because he broke his promise, which damages the morality of a talented person, not to mention that the four talents of Yangzhou represent many talents in Yangzhou to a certain extent, which is a matter of collective shame for the talents of Yangzhou, so he will be criticized by so many people and attacked by a group." So the day after tomorrow, he can say that he realizes his mistake and wants to apologize and ask for forgiveness, if I don't go, he will definitely make a big fuss, and at the critical juncture when our restaurant is about to open, don't get angry. ”

"That childe's safety ......"

"It's okay, since I have decided to let Steward Xu come forward as a witness, then I will also have a way to deal with it to ensure my own safety, you can rest assured, I am not afraid that he will retaliate against me, I am afraid that he will not show it." If I don't give him a chance, then he will most likely turn around and deal with the people around me, then Redsleeves and you are the number one targets, rather than the two of you being attacked, it is better to do it for yourself, so that I can still know in my heart. ”

Yu Youwei stopped when she heard this, looking at Cao Yi, who was still walking forward, the more she looked, the more she felt that Cao Yi's back had become very broad, as if she could shield herself from any damage.

Red Sleeves then reacted, trotted forward quickly, walked parallel to Cao Yi, and called softly: "Childe! ”

"Huh?" Cao Yi replied calmly and turned his head to look at Yu Youwei.

However, Yu Youwei still looked straight ahead, and did not turn her head, but the slightly upturned arc of the corners of her mouth reflected that she should be in a very good mood now.

"Childe, you're so nice!" After Yu Youwei said this, she sped up, blushed and ran into the courtyard with Xiaolian steps, and ran straight to her room.

Cao Yileng froze in place, her eyes fixed on Yu Youwei until she entered her room...... Cao Yi shook his head slightly, a faint smile appeared on his face, and then he also walked into the courtyard.
