Waiting for Cao Yi and the others to put away the piano, it was time to eat at this time, because there was a lot of noise outside at noon, so dinner was solved in the courtyard rented by himself in Tongfu Building, Cao Yi ordered three tables of food, and asked Tongfu Building to send it to the hall in their courtyard, and everyone ate together in the hall.

Cao Yi himself is not so particular, and the rest of the place does not have so much space, so Cao Yi let those guards and rough maids and other things eat together, just start eating, when the meal is not completely complete, Wang Zhiyuan came back with Shantai Mingde, Cao Yi asked the two of them to add two pairs of chopsticks.

As soon as Wang Zhiyuan sat down, he subconsciously wanted to get wine, but when he saw Red Sleeves staring at him, he smiled, poured a cup of tea, took a sip, and said with a smile: "Cao Yi, a young man from other places who is now rumored to be fierce outside, five beautiful wives and concubines, is it just a few of you?" ”

Cao Yi smiled bitterly: "Has it been spread so much now?" Did you even hear that you have been busy moving goods at the docks? ”

"That's not it, at the dock, in our own restaurant, in the rented warehouse, I heard someone next to me discussing, you are really good, I was thinking about how to open up the popularity of our restaurant, isn't it very good, at least there is a ready-made one that can be used when the time comes." Wang Zhiyuan took a chopstick dish and laughed while chewing.

Cao Yi shook his head helplessly, and whispered: "It's really a good thing that doesn't go out, and bad things spread thousands of miles, but if you operate it later, it's not impossible to become a ...... help."

When he raised his head and saw that everyone was looking at him, he smiled faintly, "It's still an immature idea now, I'll tell you when I've thought about it and perfected it later." ”

Everyone continued to eat, today should be one of the few dinners that everyone can get together for dinner in the next period of time, and then except for Cao Yi, Yu Youwei and Jin'er, the three will be a little freer, and everyone else will be busy with their own work.

According to the previous plan, Yu Youwei and Jin'er will follow Cao Yi to various Qinglou to watch the style and characteristics of the song and dance performances here in Yangzhou in the early stage, apply what they have learned, and then buy some good seedlings from each Qinglou or Yapo, and then they will start to carry out hard and urgent singing and dancing training, and train into Zuixianlou's own performance team.

But fortunately, if the performance team in the early stage is not strong enough, she and Jin'er can still be on top, as for dance, after half a month of training, they can almost dance a few good dances, and it should be no problem to perform when the time comes.

And Cao Yi took Yu Youwei and Jin'er to visit the Qinglou in addition to watching performances, and one of the tasks was to find a spokesperson for Huayu soap, and the most suitable spokesperson was naturally the first Oiran in Yangzhou, but now Cao Yi still didn't know the red card corresponding to the six Qinglou that Min Yue said before

Who are the Oiran and the Oiran, I will have to inquire again at that time, and visit and negotiate one by one.

At the dinner table, Cao Yi looked at Wang Zhiyuan's greedy expression, smiled, and finally gave him a small pot of wine, although the red sleeves looked at Cao Yi with a little emotion, but after Cao Yi gave her a chopstick dish, some small emotions disappeared in an instant.

"Red sleeves, you and Uncle Wang will be working hard in the next few days, eat more, don't lose weight, it won't look good if you lose weight...... Uncle Wang, you can only drink a little bit every day to relieve fatigue from a day's work, so that you can sleep a little more soundly at night, but you can't drink too much, and eventually hurt your body. Cao Yi said sincerely, revealing concern in and out of his words.

"Hmm!" After answering shyly, Red Sleeves stopped talking, bowed her head and ate the dishes that Cao Yi sandwiched into her bowl with peace of mind.

And Uncle Wang secretly gave Cao Yi a thumbs up, and he could even think of drinking some wine to relieve fatigue and relieve fatigue after a hard day, and sleep more soundly......

"Ahem......" Cao Yi coughed dryly, but when he saw the bowl handed out by Yu Youwei, he had no choice but to clip a chopstick to her, looking at the other few people who were also eager to try, he hurriedly said: "After eating later, you can go outside by yourself for a while, but I want to remind you again, all girls must bring guards when they go out, and don't go out without a guard......"

Cao Yi turned around and said aloud to the guards at the other table: "Guard brothers, at night and in the next few days, you will have to work hard, you have also seen the things at noon, when these sisters go out, you have to help protect the point, we don't take the initiative to cause trouble, when we can bear to back down, it is better to do as much as possible, but when your sisters are bullied, then you don't need to endure it anymore, teach you a hard lesson, but you really have to ensure your safety in advance, come back here first, I'm going to take care of something anyway, you know? ”

"Got it!" These ten people have long been accustomed to shouting slogans in the Spark Secret Camp, and the sound of responding together at this time is even more imposing, startling those rough maids, but they also scared the shopkeeper who was about to knock on the door and fell backwards, letting out a cry of "ouch".

Cao Yi and the others heard the movement outside the door, and the maid near the door of the hall opened them, only to see the shopkeeper fall to the ground, and was rubbing his buttocks at this time and stood up, with an embarrassed smile on his face, and said with a smile: "Cao Gongzi, someone sent a letter, saying that it was for Cao An Gongzi from Yangzhou, and the villain thought that in our Tongfu Building, you are the only noble son surnamed Cao from Yangzhou, so I sent it to you......"

Cao Yi asked the maid to bring the letter in, and after thanking the shopkeeper aloud, he took out the letterhead inside and looked at it carefully.

The people at the same table were also looking at Cao Yi at this time, and they could roughly guess that it should be a letter sent by Shi Chengxuan, the first talented man in Yangzhou, to agree on the time and place of the meeting.

"Childe, how is it, is the appointment made?" Yu Youwei couldn't hold back the urgency in her heart and asked.

Cao Yi showed an interesting look on his face, and said slowly: "Tomorrow afternoon, the building will be full of flowers......"

"Flowers full of buildings?" Everyone knew that it ranked first among the six green buildings in Jiangning, but they didn't expect Shi Chengxuan to make an appointment there, but with his identity as the first talent in Yangzhou, he went to Huamanlou to meet his friends, at least either Oiran or Red Card came out to accompany him, so that Cao Yi's soap plan could also be realized.

"Well, it's that Hua Manlou, but in that case, Youwei and Jin'er, don't go with us tomorrow, I originally thought that no one knew you and you could pretend to be in the past, but now Shi Chengxuan and Qian Ji are going with a few of them, for fear that they will be recognized and have an accident, after all, it is not suitable for girls to be found to visit the Qinglou......" Cao Yi said.

Yu Youwei and Jin'er are not the kind of people who don't know anything, they nodded at the moment and said that they knew, anyway, there is enough time, even if they can't go together tomorrow, there will be time later, and they will go together when the time comes.

After eating, Cao Yi asked who was going out, and it turned out that Red Sleeves, Qi Hail and Qingwen all said that they would start to devote themselves to the preparation of Zuixian Building, Fugui Egg and Flower Language Soap tomorrow, so they had to rest early tonight, recuperate their spirits, and not go out.

In the end, only Cao Yi, Yu Youwei and Jin'er went out to walk around, of course, followed by Gongye Yuanzhou and the other three guards, Cao Yi just said at dinner that when the five girls of Red Sleeves and Yu Youwei went out, everyone had to follow at least two guards behind them.

Everyone walked out of Tongfu Building, along the Vermilion Bird Street to go forward, the street lights in front of the market are extended, the houses on both sides are lined up one after another, there are magnificent teahouses, taverns stand up, all the way to the city gate in the distance extends, the Vermilion Bird Avenue can be said to be the central longitudinal axis of the whole Yangzhou City, there is an artificial river from the moat on one side, but this river has already gone through hundreds of years of time, and it is not easy to say that it is an artificial river now.

The stone fence along the river looks full of traces of time, covered with moss, and in the middle of summer, it will be covered with green plants that resemble creepers. Cao Yi and a few people walked by the river, looking at the moon hanging high in the sky, and the faint moonlight sprinkled on the red bricks and gold tiles or the brightly colored pavilion cornices, adding a bit of hazy and poetic to the brilliant night scene of the prosperous Yangzhou City in front of them.

On one side is prosperous, on the other side is elegant and quiet, and the seemingly contradictory two exist in unexpected harmony under this moonlight......
