Lao Cao nodded again and again and said: "Lord Ye has the grace of reinvention to Cao, and he will definitely repay the kindness of this help!" ”

Ye Zhiqiu smiled and said: "What kind or unkind, as long as Master Cao and Master Cao have a bright future in the future, I will be satisfied." ”

This sentence has reached Lao Cao's heart, with a safe person like Ye Zhiqiu to check for our Lao Cao family, and the future will be prosperous, it is really just around the corner!

On the other hand, Ye Zhiqiu quietly entered Cao's mansion and lured Lao Cao with words to finally move the mind of eavesdropping on the wall, and on the other side, the prince Li Chongyan and Cao Xiwen entered the Winter Warm Pavilion together and sat down.

The people had already taken the first step to turn the charcoal fire in the stove vigorously, and added a few soft pillows on the couch. Li Chongyan has been here a lot of times, and sometimes he will take advantage of the situation for a while when he drinks too much, so the subordinates of Cao Mansion are very clear.

Li Chongyan looked around the room, there were no calligraphy and paintings on the wall, there were no ornaments, only two bows hung empty, and the four treasures of the study room on the desk under the window were complete, but they looked like they had not been used for a long time, and they were so neat. Only two half-boiled pots of daffodils were placed next to the table, which finally added some life to the room.

When he was looking, Cao Xiwen suddenly poked his head into his chest and sniffed.

Li Chongyan was startled, pushed his head away and asked, "What are you doing?" ”

"Strange, how can I smell blood on you." Cao Xiwen wondered.

Li Chongyan smiled dryly: "Nonsense, it must be that you have been stained by mutton after staying in the kitchen for a long time, and it is up to me to come." ”

Cao Xiwen shook his head, "Even if the mutton is bloody, it is still a little bit, and what you have on your body is clearly the smell of human blood." ”

Li Chongyan saw that he was right, so he had to feign anger and said: "You dog-nosed, you want to eat meat and want to go crazy?" Fill me with wine, it's not easy for me to run in the cold! ”

Cao Xiwen is a good wine, and when it comes to eating wine, he smiles and puts aside the smell.

"Oh, it's thanks to you that you came to me for a drink, otherwise I'd be suffocated to death."

"Why, there are so many fun places in the imperial capital, and they can suffocate you?"

"Yes, I want to go out for a walk, but my dad doesn't allow it, and you don't know when you will come over, and it will be bad if you make yourself empty. So, they locked me up at home. I said you kid

Where did you come from such a big face, you came to me to drink, if I wasn't there, I wouldn't be there, how big is it? ”

Li Chongyan heard that Lao Cao locked his son at home in order to cater to him, although he felt that Cao Xiwen was a little pitiful, but the cause was his own, so he could only smile.

Cao Xiwen glanced at him and said: "Actually, I'm not stupid, I can't understand my father's personality anymore, he said that he respects scholars and is very polite to you, but I can see that he is not only polite, he is simply treating you as an uncle." ”

"Fuck your uncle!" Li Chongyan scolded with a smile, "Have you ever seen such a young uncle?" ”

"I can tell you, even if my father didn't say it, I guessed it."

"Guess what?"

"You must not be a county official. Or rather, more than just a county official. ”

Li Chongyan's heart tightened, "Then what am I?" ”

I secretly wondered in my heart, couldn't it be that Lao Cao finally couldn't hold back and leaked the news?

Cao Xiwen held back for a while and said, "Don't be annoyed when I said it." ”

"If there's a fart, let it go!"

"Is your old man a particularly big official in the court? Is it the kind that can cover the sky with one hand? It's either a generalissimo or a prime minister or something. My father must be jealous of your old man, so he is careful of you like a monkey. ”

Li Chongyan looked at him blankly for a while, and suddenly burst into laughter, which made Cao Xiwen laugh inexplicably.

"What's going on? Did I guess it? You just laugh and use it as a bird, if you guess right, you guess right, don't pretend. ”

"Yes, yes, you guessed it right, my dad is really big, uh...... One hand can cover the sky. ”

Cao Xiwen's face was displeased, and he solemnly persuaded: "Look at you, you also said that you are a few years older than me, and you are so arrogant when you speak." My dad just said that you have to keep a low profile. Especially when you just returned to the imperial capital, you don't know how small your official is, and when others say that your family is big, you have to be humble......"

Li Chongyan had never heard anyone persuade him like this, and he was more surprised than a sense of novelty, he pretended to cooperate and nodded: "Well, you said very much, I have to keep a low profile." In fact, the smile in his stomach was already blooming.

He asked again: "Then now that you know that my father is a big official, do you have a heart in your heart?" I remember

As you said, you don't like to deal with the powerful."

Cao Xiwen shook his head and said, "That's not it, you're you, and your father is your father." I said when I was in Xinyang County, even if you, the county official, were donated to you by your father, what you did was a hundred times better than those previous county officials. You can't erase your exploits just because your father is great, these are two different things. ”

Li Chongyan said this and was really indescribably comfortable, picked up the wine glass and said, "You are really an understanding person!" If you don't like to drink with you, come on, come on, let's go. ”

After a few cups, the mutton was served.

The pink and tender mutton has been smeared with some coarse salt and peppercorns in advance, and it is roasted on a charcoal stove, which is Cao Xiwen's favorite. Li Chongyan likes to eat shabu-shabu, he leaned on the couch and pointed to the mutton and said, "The water is boiling, come, make a few slices for me, I'm too lazy to move." ”

"Who gave you this thing you are used to? If you are too lazy to move, I am too lazy to move. Cao Xiwen didn't buy it at all.

"I'm so tired all day, you have to take care of me."

"My father's second-grade official didn't shout tired when he came home and gave me a barbecue, you are a bapine county official and a tired grandmother."

"Then you can call me dad, and if you call me, I'll roast you."

"Get out!" Cao Xiwen picked up a walnut from the dried fruit bowl on the side and threw it over, he was very accurate, and deliberately rubbed the edge of Li Chongyan's bun and swept it over. Although Li Chongyan has no martial arts, he is extremely skilled in throwing mud balls, and he knows that he doesn't want to hit him when he looks at Cao Xiwen's gestures.

Cao Xiwen picked up the long chopsticks and threw a few pieces of meat into the pot, and stirred it hastily a few times.

"Alright, let's eat."

Li Chongyan smiled, sat up and put the meat in the bowl.

This is the reason why he always likes to come to Caofu, where he can forget everything in the palace for a while, he can put down the high crown prince's crown, and he can joke as much as he wants.

The most important thing is that the person opposite will not regard him as a prince or have any scruples because of his status.

But what makes people especially paradoxical is that there is such a person who is not the prince who makes him like a treasure, what if everyone in the world does not treat him as a prince?

Thinking about the coolness of winter in summer, thinking about the warmth of summer in winter, people's hearts are so tossed.
