"Brother Cao is rare to come here today, is it ......" Sikong Ye looked at Cao Yi and said with a smile, he knew that Cao Yi was very busy now.

Cao Yi also showed a faint smile on his face, and asked softly, "Can't you come over if there's nothing?" I don't know how Brother Sikong prepared for this year's autumn exam? ”

"I don't dare to say that I am sure of nine out of ten, but I will definitely do my best......" Sikong Ye smiled and said, and then said gratefully to Cao Yi: "This is also thanks to your generous assistance, Brother Cao, allowing me to live in Cao's Mansion and study with peace of mind, so that I can concentrate on preparing for the scientific examination." ”

"Brother Sikong, don't say this kind of thing in the future, just have a few more drinks with me tonight." Cao Yi turned his face and pretended to be angry and said.

"Haha, okay, since Brother Cao doesn't like to listen to it, then I won't talk about it in the future, but Brother Cao's autumn exam is about to start, is Brother Cao really not going to take the exam?"

"No!" Cao Yi shook his head.

"You know that I'm not suitable for being an official at all, you said that I, a money-greedy person who thinks about how to make money every day, can I be an official, even if I really become an official, I am also a corrupt official who only thinks about how to make money." Cao Yi said with a smile.

"No, Brother Cao is a good person, and when he becomes an official in the future, he must be a good official and a clean official who cherishes the people and is dedicated to the people!" Sikong Youyi, who was reciting the Analects on the side, raised his head at this time, looked at Cao Yi with a serious face and said.

"Okay, good, Youyi said that I am a good official, and I am a good official!" Cao Yi said along Sikong Youyi, and then turned his head to look at Sikong Ye.

"Brother Sikong, I'm going to leave Jiangning for Hangzhou in a few days, maybe you will be busy with your studies in the next few days and won't have a chance to meet, so I can say goodbye to you in advance today."

"Hangzhou?" Sikong Ye didn't reply yet, but Sikong Youyi answered, and his tone was still full of that look of yearning and expectation.

"What? Youyi, do you want to go to Hangzhou too? Cao Yi asked with a smile.

"Hmm!" Sikong Youyi nodded: "I want to go to see Leifeng Pagoda, and I also want to go to see the West Lake, where there are the White Lady and Xu Xian that Brother Cao said......"

Sikong Ye smiled and patted his sister: "What Brother Cao said is just a strange story, you still take it seriously!" At present, while your brother is still in Jiangning, you study a little more, if my autumn test results are not bad, I will leave for Bianjing to participate in next year's spring festival, do you think your brother and I did not do well in the autumn exam, continue to stay in Hangzhou......

"How can there be ......" Sikong Youyi showed the mentality of a little daughter in front of her brother, and pouted coquettishly.

Then it seemed that he had done something again, with a quirky look on his face, and asked with a smile: "Brother, if you pass the autumn exam, do you still have time to take me to Hangzhou?" ”

"This ......" Sikong Ye looked at his sister's expectant expression, and fell into hesitation for a while, not that he didn't have time, but now...... He had to prepare in advance for going to Bianjing to take the Spring Exam, including money. After all, it is the capital of the country, and at the feet of the Son of Heaven, all prices are the most expensive.

He knows that it is not easy to live in the capital, and if he goes to Hangzhou to play, he will be stretched thin by the time of the time.

"Youyi, it's okay, if your brother doesn't have time at that time, I'll take you to Hangzhou to play, if your brother takes you there, I'll also contribute, I'll take all the food, clothing and housing you go to Hangzhou!" Cao Yi said with a smile.

As soon as Cao Yi said this, Sikong Youyi instantly understood what Sikong Ye's previous hesitation was, and in an instant, her face and eyes became ruddy, she lowered her head, and said in a low tone: "Brother, I'm sorry, I'm too ignorant......"

Cao Yi gave Sikong Ye a look, the latter smiled bitterly, then touched Sikong Youyi's forehead, and said softly: "Silly girl, what are you sorry for your brother, but my brother is sorry for you, but didn't your brother Cao say it, if I have time, he will also contribute, and when the time comes, we will be covered for food and clothing in Hangzhou......"

Sikong Youyi raised his head and glanced at Cao Yi, and then said to his brother, "But ......"

"Nothing...... Could it be that Brother Sikong is your brother, and I am not? Don't worry about this matter, and Brother Sikong, when you go to Bianjing to take the exam, I can't help much, but I have prepared a thousand taels of silver for you, so that you can live and live in the capital......"

"Brother Cao, this is not necessary......" Sikong Ye hurriedly postponed.

If because of his sister, he and his sister's food and clothing in Hangzhou were covered by Cao Yi, for his sister's sake, he would not dwell too much on this, but when he went to the capital, he would be himself, he was confident in his autumn test, so he had already saved money early, and when the time came, he would go to Bianjing to save some money, and he believed that he could still last in the capital until the spring of next year.

"What's the need, I consider you my friend, do you value money?" Cao Yi asked.

Sikong Ye shook his head, and Cao Yi continued: "That's right, you don't value money, and I don't value it either, or do you think our friendship is not as important as this thousand taels of silver?" ”

Sikong Ye shook his head again.

"So, don't let me down on my kindness, take the test hard, it's best to come back with a top prize, so that it can be regarded as the best feedback for me!" Cao Yi said with a smile on his face.

Sikong Ye opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything, and finally could only shake his head helplessly.

And Sikong Youyi on the side, look at Cao Yi, and then look at his brother, there are shiny things in his eyes, perhaps, this is what the book says, the confidant relationship between Ziqi and Boya, right? Sikong Youyi thought in her heart......

---------------------------------

At the beginning of the morning of the second day, a very nice voice suddenly came out of a small courtyard in the Nixia Tower in the east of Jiangning City: "What's the matter? I'm not saying I don't want to see guests today. ”

"But......," said a maid outside, hesitantly.

"It's nothing, but it's not necessary, I said that I don't want to see guests today, whether it's a beating in Zhizhou or a distinguished guest from the capital, I will push it off, just say I'm sick and can't see guests!" The sound in the courtyard came again, and then there was no sound outside the door, and it must have retreated.

"Miss, what's the matter? It stands to reason that you said that you don't want to see guests today, and usually Liu's mother will push all the guests away, why does Xiaohong still come to report to you? "What he said is Weiyue, who is famous in Nixia Building, because he is a popular head brand in Nixia Building, and he is also the personal maid of Jiangning's Eight Great Oiran Gongsun Yourou, so the identity of the person she calls Miss can be guessed at once.

Gongsun Yourou turned over on the soft collapse, and then said lazily: "Who knows? Maybe Liu's mother was busy, so she didn't care about this matter just now, or Xiaohong privately collected other people's benefits, so she ran over to say something. ”

"If that's the case, then I'm going to have to beat Xiaohong well!" Weiyue said through gritted teeth.

"It's not too much of a problem, just let her go, it's not harmful anyway, she can find a way to make money by herself, and it's her ability......" Gongsun Yourou said casually.

"Okay!" Weiyue pursed her mouth slightly, obviously still very resentful of Xiaohong's approach, and felt that it was ugly.

The two of them were chatting in the main hall, and there was a knock at the door of the courtyard again, Gongsun Yourou's brows furrowed slightly, although she didn't mind Xiaohong making a little money by relying on her own intelligence, but she repeatedly harassed herself because of this, which was very annoying.

"Who?" Gongsun Yourou said coldly.

"Good girl, it's me!" The business year outside the door came again.

Gongsun Yourou and Weiyue glanced at each other, and there was a look of surprise in their eyes, in the Nixia Building, the only one who dared to call Gongsun Yourou a daughter was Mother Liu, the person in charge of the Nixia Building.

When Gongsun Yourou and Weiyue discussed before, they also talked about Liu's mother, thinking that it was because she was busy, so Xiaohong came to push customers, how was it said that after being retired, this time it was recommended by Liu's mother.

"Mom, come in." Gongsun replied softly.

Then I heard the sound of the door being opened, and then a woman who walked up and swayed, and walked in.

"Mom, are you coming?" Gongsun Yourou was also direct, and the other party sat down and asked.

Mother Liu had a wry smile on her face and said complainingly: "It's not because your daughter said that you refused to see the guests today. ”

Gongsun Yourou was one of the eight great Oirans in Jiangning, and naturally had a very good level in receiving people and things, and immediately realized that she must be a very powerful person who asked her to accompany her this time, otherwise she would not have been dissuaded by Liu's mother again after Xiaohong's failure.

"What? This time it's a big guy who can't be refused? Gongsun Yourou frowned slightly, looked at Liu's mother and said.

Mother Liu nodded, and then shook her head, this behavior made Gongsun Yourou even more confused.

"It's a big shot, it's not that you can't refuse, it's just that I think it's better for you to meet your daughter, this son-in-law, I've never heard of going to the Qinglou, I was stunned when I saw it just now, if Xiaohong didn't know what the other party's identity was, otherwise I really wouldn't recognize it." Liu's mother said with a smile.

"Who the hell is that?" Gongsun Yourou became even more curious and asked.

"Jiangning's first talent, Cao Yi!" With a hint of a smile on the corner of her mouth, Mother Liu looked at Gongsun Yourou and said word by word.

"What!?" Gongsun Yourou was originally lying on the soft couch, but now he suddenly sat up and exclaimed.

"You heard it right, the first talent in Jiangning, Cao Yi!" Mother Liu nodded, looking at Gongsun Yourou with a smile on her face. When I first heard the identity of the other party, it wasn't like this expression.

The main reason is that Cao Yi is a talent, but he is very different from other talents, or completely different from other talents, and even a little out of place, because Cao Yi never participates in elegant events held by various talents and beauties, let alone comes to Qinglou.

For such a long time, I have never heard anyone say that Cao Yi has gone to the Qinglou, so just now I suddenly heard the other party report that it was Cao Yi, Liu's mother was so surprised, but fortunately, Xiaohong next to her finally testified that the other party was indeed true.

"Ahh Hurry up, please! Gongsun Yourou said excitedly.
