On the evening of the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, in Cao Yi's exclusive seat on the third floor of the west building of the Zuixian Building, Cao Yi, Yang Xingwen, Zhang Lin, Liu Chen, Wang Ji, Chen Du, and Ding Yu gathered together, and also called Yu Youwei to accompany them. Tonight's meal can be regarded as a farewell banquet, because from tomorrow, except for Cao Yi and Yu Youwei, the others will go their own ways and go their separate ways.

Yang Xingwen went to Hangzhou to take up his post after the Lantern Festival holiday, while the remaining four people went to the capital together to report back to China.

"Brothers, my younger brother respects you a cup, I wish you a smooth journey tomorrow and a bright future, Brother Xingwen, your official fortune is prosperous, and the other brothers are all high schools in the gold list!" Cao Yi toasted with a wine glass.

"Haha, borrow your auspicious words, but among us, it is estimated that Chen Du will be able to pass the exam in the spring this year, and the four of us may have to study in the Guozijian for another year or two." Zhang Lin laughed and said not very confidently.

"Yes, I also think that Chen Du is a little bigger in the spring this year, and the remaining four of us are really up to luck." Liu Chen said with a wry smile.

"It's fate to be admitted, and it's fate to fail the exam, if you can't do it this year, then continue next year!" Ding Yu drank it all in the cup and said nonchalantly.

"Your father is a training envoy of the Jiangning regiment, and your family has been a military general for generations, but in your generation, he has become a scholar, your father didn't expect you to be in high school, of course you don't have any pressure, we are not the same, we are all scholarly families, we are very important to whether we can be lifted, and if you are not good, you have to take the same jinshi background." Wang Ji pouted and said.

"Scholarly family, what's wrong with the scholarly family, look down on our family of military generals, don't you look here, Chen Du, his father is still Jiangning's assassin history, isn't he also a military general, isn't he the most promising high school among us." As for Cao Yi, not to mention, Cao Jiang is an officer to a privy envoy, and the Cao family is the real generation of generals, just Cao Yi's seven brothers, six of them are military generals, but you look at Cao Yi, the first talent in Jiangning, how amazing, so whether a person is talented or not, there is no inevitable relationship with family background and family background, it all depends on talent and their own efforts, diligence can make up for clumsiness, not once, then twice, spend twice as much time and effort as others, I can also do a good job! Ding Yu was choked by Wang Ji and immediately began to reply, but he also said it reasonably, well-founded and restrained, which made Wang Ji, Liu Chen, Yang Xingwen and others stunned.

Even Cao Yi unconsciously glanced at Ding Yu twice at this time, and sure enough, Shi Bei was impressed by each other for three days, this Ding Yu couldn't say this level of words when they first met, but after only a few days, his speaking level and insight have improved by leaps and bounds.

Yang Xingwen saluted Ding Yu and said with a smile: "Ding Yu, you can do it, now you have a set of words, it's really amazing......"

Ding Yuhan touched his head with a smile and said, "That's what my mother said, isn't it powerful?" ”

The others all had stunned expressions, "You...... You...... What did your mother say? Zhang Lin asked suspiciously.

"Yes, when I went out, my mother also asked me to go to the capital this time, to study hard, but also to pay attention to relaxation, not to work too hard, to study hard when it is time to study, when it is time to rest, you must have a good rest, as long as you do the above two points, don't be nervous when you add the exam, play normally. The result is not so important, if you can get in, you can be admitted, and if you can't pass the test, you will come back next year, but you just want to be worthy of your heart. Ding Yu smiled, put a chopstick braised pork into his mouth, and continued while chewing.

"Then I said, our family has been a general for generations, but in my generation, under the strong request of your mother, I gave up martial arts and literature, but the background is not enough. Then my mother lectured me, No, the same thing I just said. ”

"......" Everyone looked at each other and was speechless for a while.

"Brother Ding Yu, your mother is really good-hearted, beautiful, and wise, and she is a strange woman with insight and bearing." Cao Yi couldn't help but praise it.

"That is, when my mother was young, she was also a very famous lady in Jiangning City, and she was still a talented girl, and she was somehow married back by the old man in our family." Ding Yu whispered.

"......" Everyone was speechless for a while, daring to say this about their father, this Ding Yu is also maverick enough.

But this was just a small episode in today's dinner, and then everyone was drinking and staggering. There is also Cao Yi, the host in control, Yu Youwei as a companion to play the piano and sing songs to help the fun, to really eat the farewell banquet into a farewell banquet, plus everyone is a young person, active in nature, there is not too much kind of sad spring and autumn parting feelings, a meal is also eaten by the guests happy, to the end of the banquet, everyone made an appointment tomorrow at three o'clock, gathered outside the Zhengyangmen gate, said to each other cherished and then went on their own way.

After sending the others away, Cao Yi said to Yu Youwei: "Youwei, you can also go with me tomorrow morning to send off your brothers." ”

"Hmm......" Yu Youwei glanced at Cao Yi, then lowered her head and responded like a mosquito, her face was flushed, and she didn't know if it was because she was drinking or because there were many people in the room before, so the air was stuffy.

……

At the end of the morning of the second day, Cao Yi took the red sleeves and Yu Youwei and Jin'er to the Zhengyangmen gate to wait, the four of them stood on the side of the carriage, and there were six rows of things on the ground, this is the practice ceremony prepared by Cao Yi for your brothers, ten small jars of green lotus wine per person, ten pieces of flower soap, and one hundred rich eggs, which Cao Yi asked the red sleeves to prepare in advance after the dinner last night, and let it be made in the morning

The waitress in the shop moved here.

When it was two o'clock, Yang Xingwen was the first to arrive, and when he saw Cao Yi and others in the carriage, he also got off the carriage and said with a smile: "Brother Xian, you have been here for a long time." Then I was stunned when I saw the six rows of things on the ground, mainly because these six rows of things were crowded together quite spectacularly and very conspicuous.

"We actually just came, Brother Xingwen, let your coachman move to your carriage, the six brothers are the same, after arriving in Hangzhou, you can drink if you want, if the wine is gone, write a letter over, I will immediately let people send it over, but by the time of the Dragon Boat Festival, the drunken fairy building in Hangzhou should be almost ready to open, and then you will help me in Hangzhou to take care of my little brother's business." Cao Yi said with a smile.

Yang Xingwen patted Cao Yi's shoulder and said solemnly: "I don't need you to say it, my brother will definitely do this!" ”

"Haha, Brother Xingwen don't have to take it seriously, little brother, I'm just joking, don't leave evidence of your party formation to your political enemies, otherwise your little brother can't afford it." Cao Yi hurriedly said.

"No, my popularity in Hangzhou is not bad, and the prefect of Hangzhou is a good friend of my father, and he takes care of me quite a lot in the officialdom, so you don't need to worry about this." Yang Xingwen said confidently.

"That's good, after the opening of Yangzhou Zuixian Building, I will go to Hangzhou to prepare for the opening of the restaurant, and then it will depend on Brother Xingwen." Cao Yi said with a smile on his face and clasped his hands at Yang Xingwen.

"Brother Xian, if you are so polite, you are really angry for your brother!" Yang Xingwen feigned anger.

"Hahaha...... Got it, Brother Xingwen, that in Hangzhou, maybe I really need your help, you know, Zuixianlou is an outsider to Hangzhou's restaurants......" Cao Yi also restrained his expression and said solemnly.

"Well, there are a few things, I will give you good news in advance after I go to Hangzhou, but with the liquor, rich eggs and flower soap in your drunken fairy building, they are all rare items in Hangzhou, and I have not seen them before, so I will definitely be able to open the Hangzhou market smoothly, you can rest assured." Yang Xingwen was very confident in Cao Yi's Drunken Immortal Building, and said with a relaxed face.

"I'm not worried about normal business competition, I'm afraid that some people in the officialdom or on the stage will jump out when the time comes......"

"You can rest assured of this, when you come, I will take you to see the prefect of Hangzhou, and my father also wrote you a letter of introduction before, and he also contributed when the restaurant chose a location to buy land, you will bring more Qinglian wine, rich eggs and soap or something, just say thank him for his help last time, don't you just recognize the door, and then have a little more personal contact, this matter will be easily solved......" Yang Xingwen patted his chest and said confidently.
