Volume 3 Spring and Autumn Chapter 522 Condolences to the old and orphans

Before the three of them said goodbye and left, Cao Yi said to Sikong Ye: "From tomorrow, you should go to Jiangning Mansion early in the morning to learn classes, and I, I will also go to Taibai Villa tomorrow, and then I will go to Ziji Mountain, it is estimated that I will stay there for three or four days, in the days when I am not there, you can go directly to Red Sleeves if you have anything, Brother Sikong, you must know that you are not alone now, you can't settle, and Sister Youyi, she is also my sister, no matter what, my sister can't endure hardships......" Cao Yi patted Sikong Ye on the shoulder and said.

He is too familiar with Sikong Ye, basically he can carry it down, or can bear it, he will never trouble Cao Yi, let alone go to find Red Sleeves, so Cao Yi will move Sikong Youyi out. Although Sikong Ye doesn't care about himself, he still cares about his sister very much, and he still hopes to give his sister a better life.

"I know, I know, Brother Cao, you are becoming more and more mother-in-law and mother now!" Sikong Ye said to Cao Yi with a smile.

Cao Yi was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he also gave Sikong Ye a punch with a smile, and scolded angrily: "Hurry back and have a good rest, you will have to study hard again from tomorrow, you stupid people are like this, how can you be like me, a genius, don't be so diligent, you are the first talent!" ”

"Yes, great talent! You can rest well, and we'll go in first! In the face of Cao Yi's sarcasm, Sikong Ye was not angry, he didn't even have mood swings, he waved his hand to Cao Yi with a smile, and took Sikong Youyi into the courtyard of their brother and sister.

When he entered the courtyard, Sikong Youyi said to his brother worriedly: "When Brother Cao beat you and scolded you just now, I thought you two really had a conflict." ”

"Haha, the relationship between us men is like this, don't worry!" Sikong Ye smiled and said to his sister.

After a while, Sikong Ye turned his head and said, "Youyi, if I really have a conflict with Cao Yi and scold each other, who will you support?" ”

Sikong Youyi frowned at herself, her smiling face was tightly wrinkled together, and she struggled with embarrassment for a long time, and in the end she didn't say why.

Sikong Ye looked at his sister like this, and there was a faint sense of loss in his heart, as if he was about to get married, originally she had always supported her unconditionally, but now that she is starting to think about it, this can already explain some problems.

"Hey, it's going to rain, girls are going to get married, this is a natural thing, what is so ......sour about me now" Sikong Ye complained about himself in his heart, shook his head, and continued to walk forward.

The next morning, Cao Yi got into the carriage early in the morning and set off for Taibai Villa, followed by a long queue, all of which had asked Red Sleeves to prepare the food and pork they had bought in advance yesterday, and planned to give them to the old orphans outside Taibai Villa.

Wei Chi Hongkuang had already reported to him before, and now there are a total of 231 families of widows and orphans living outside Taibai Villa, so Cao Yi prepared 231 pieces of grain, one stone of rice per household, five catties of pork, and the rest is two taels of silver per household.

One stone of rice is because these orphans and old people have just arrived this year, and the fertile land distributed to them is not expected to have any harvest today, and there will be no grain harvest until next year at the earliest, so one stone was sent, although for a household, one stone of rice is a bit less, but Taibai Villa itself will give them enough food every month, and what Cao Yi sent this time is completely extra, they can store it themselves, or they can sell it.

As for the five catties of meat, it is an era in which poor families have no way to store perishable food, unless it is the kind of rich and wealthy family, there is an ice cellar, which can ice fresh meat or something, and ordinary families in April, fresh meat is stored for two or three days and it is almost bad. First Chinese Network

However, they can be salted or dried by eye, and stored as bacon to be eaten slowly. Although Cao Yi sent more pork, but if you give a gift, it is impossible to set the tone too high all of a sudden, and it doesn't mean that you won't give it next time.

Cao Yi's plan is to give gifts to these old orphans during the New Year's festival in the future, especially during the Double Ninth Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival and spring, so there will be many times in the future, and the emphasis is on the long flow of water, rather than directly cutting off the source for the first time.

By the time Cao Yi arrived at the gathering place where the old orphans lived in Taibai Villa, several old people had already gotten up and sat outside to chat with each other.

Seeing Cao Yi leading more than a dozen carriages towards them, there was a puzzled look on his face, when they came, Wang Zhiyuan and Yun Qing were responsible for entertaining, because these people were basically the widows and orphans of the soldiers of the Lao Zhending Army and the Molin Army, plus Cao Yi was not there before, so no one knew Cao Yi.

Everyone is speculating, what is this young man doing with so many people?

No one thought that Cao Yi was the young general that Wang Zhiyuan and Yun Qing, the commander of the Mo Lin Army, told them before, and the young general in their minds should also be a young general with a tiger's back and a strong and brave waist, and the gap between Cao Yi's current outfit is still very big.

It wasn't until Cao Yi stepped forward, greeted them, and asked the people behind him to deliver rice, pork, and silver to the old man that the old man tentatively asked Cao Yi if he was the young general.

"I'm not a major general, I have neither an official position nor a meritorious name now, I'm just an ordinary young man, nothing more than a good reincarnation, born in the Cao family, and became Cao Bin's son, you can just treat me as an ordinary junior." Cao Yi said to the old men.

Originally, in this era, it was absolutely impossible for Dr. Cao to call his father's name, but because these old people were older than their father, it was understandable for them to call their father's name in front of them.

These old men who were chatting with each other outside, as soon as they heard that Cao Yi was General Cao's son, that is, the young general that the military advisor and Yun Commander were talking about, they all knelt down one by one and called the young general. Cao Yi knelt in front of him in front of the old man who could be regarded as his grandfather at the age of five or six, shouting the young general, and was a little embarrassed for a while, so he quickly asked the Taibai secret guard who followed behind him to help, and he himself stepped forward to hold up the old man.

"Old man, in the future, you don't have to kneel, you don't have to greet me or anything, just treat me as a junior, otherwise you will do this too much, but it will be my birthday!" Cao Yi hurriedly spoke out to persuade him.

Those old people naturally refused, and later Cao Yi said bad things, and finally persuaded those stubborn old people. Because there are a total of two hundred and thirty-one households, when each household is delivered, they have to say a few words, and the time spent behind is still very blocked, so Cao Yi didn't chat with these old people outside, let them lead the way, and the Taibai secret guard behind them helped them send food back to the house.

After all, a stone of rice also weighs a little more than a hundred catties, so don't embarrass these old people.
