Cao Shuo moved out of the Cao family and bought another house in the city.

The news quickly spread in Xudu officialdom.

Many officials did not have the opportunity to contact Cao Shuo on weekdays, knowing that he had moved to a new house, and thought that the opportunity to curry favor had come.

In the evening of the same day, someone sent a generous gift to Cao Shuo.

was accompanying a few beauties to dinner, and a maid came to the door: "Childe, there are too many people who come to give gifts, Captain Cai asked the slave maid to ask Childe, do you want to find some people from elsewhere to help?" ”

"How many are there?" Cao Shuo asked.

"There is a long queue outside the gate!" The maid said, "The slave and maid took a look, and there was no end in sight. ”

"Tell Captain Cai." Cao Shuo said: "I can't do this little thing, and I have to ask my son to find someone to help from outside, and in the future, the streets of Xudu will be handed over to him to sweep alone." ”

The maid was stunned and did not walk away immediately.

"Why don't you go soon?" Cao Shuo urged.

The maid who came back to God answered and ran away quickly.

"So many people give gifts, don't you go to see it?" Zhen Mi asked Cao Shuo.

"What's there to see." Cao Shuo said: "I transferred Cai Ji from the military camp just to deal with them. I have to face everything, why do you want Cai Ji to come over? ”

Zhen Mi didn't say anything more.

Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao are not familiar with the environment, and they are not familiar with Zhen Mi and others, so the sisters just lowered their heads and ate silently.

Jia Pei glanced at Zhang Chunhua from time to time, and almost couldn't hold back his laughter several times.

The most calm is Wang Yan.

It didn't seem to matter to her what happened outside, she was eating by herself, and the expression on her face was the same as usual.

"With so many people giving gifts, Gongzi doesn't come forward, I'm afraid they will gossip." After a while, Zhen Mi said.

"They gossip?" Cao Shuo smiled: "Zhen Ji, you are still too naïve. ”

Zhen Mi looked at Cao Shuo blankly.

Cao Shuo said: "Why do you think they gave me gifts? ”

"Isn't it because Childe moved to a new house?" Zhen Mi asked.

"They wanted to send it for a long time." Cao Shuo said: "I just gave an excuse to move to a new house, and if I went to receive it in person, I just fell into their hands." Only let Cai Ji go, who sent what, I don't know at all. Tomorrow, when the banquet is held, I invite them to dinner, and it is not my rudeness to exchange courtesies. ”

As soon as Cao Shuo said this, Zhen Mi understood why he refused to go out.

Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, who bowed their heads to eat, inadvertently looked up at him at this time.

Cai Ji, who was busy in the front yard, learned from the maid that Cao Shuo didn't plan for his lover to come over to help, and his head was suddenly full of black lines.

There were not only officials of all sizes who came to give gifts, but also many wealthy businessmen and gentry.

was full of depression, but Cai Ji could only greet the people who came to give gifts with a smiling face.

"Quite a few people!" Cai Ji was busy, and a voice floated into his ears: "Why isn't Childe here?" ”

"Childe is busy, let me take care of everything." didn't even look at the person who spoke, Cai Ji replied casually.

"Captain Cai is busy, I'll go to the backyard to find him." The person who came dropped a sentence and walked directly to the backyard.

"Wait ......" The other party was going to the backyard, Cai Ji was about to stop him, but he swallowed back before he could speak, and immediately said with a smile: "It turned out to be Guo Gong'......"

It was Guo Jia who was going to the backyard, and Guo Xin was accompanying him.

"What? Can't go to Childe? Stopping, Guo Jia asked Cai Ji with a slight smile.

"If others can't do it, can Guo Gong still do it?" Cai Ji said with a smile on his face: "I'll let people go through!" ”

"It's also a courtesy!" Guo Jia said: "Trouble Captain Cai!" ”

"If you don't go to Gongzi soon, just say that Guo Gong is here!" Cai Ji instructed the maid on the side.

Not long after coming out of the backyard, the maid ran back again.

"Guo Gong, I'm too busy here, so I won't accompany you!" After the maid left, Cai Ji said to Guo Jia with a flattering smile.

"Captain Cai is just busy with you, I'm looking for a son!" Guo Jia dropped a sentence and walked to the backyard with Guo Xin.

Following behind Guo Jia, Guo Xin glanced back: "Brother, Cao Zirong has a good connection, and so many people give gifts when he moves a house!" ”

"If these people just come to give gifts, will Childe not show up to meet them?" Guo Jia asked with a smile.

"I know why." Guo Xin said: "I just didn't expect that there would be so many people. ”

"It's right if there are a lot of people!" Guo Jia said: "The son is like the sky, Cao Cheng values him, who doesn't want to stammer." ”

"Everyone else wants to stammer, why doesn't my brother want to?" Guo Xin said: "You see those people are giving gifts in boxes and baskets, but my brother came empty-handed. ”

"What do you think Childe likes?" Guo Jia asked.

"Of course he doesn't like it." Guo Xin said: "I just pity those who give gifts. ”

"What pity do they have?" Guo Jia asked with a smile.

"The gift was given, the wealth was broken, but it only added some more wealth to Cao Zirong's family, and there was no benefit at all, isn't it pitiful?" Guo Xin said: "Holding a banquet with great fanfare, isn't it just telling the officials and gentry of the whole city to come and give gifts!" ”

"I'm really worried that you won't like Childe if you marry him in the future." Guo Jia shook his head.

"He doesn't like me, and I don't like him yet." Guo Xin said: "I haven't been serious all day long, I have weak legs when I see a beauty, if I really marry him, I don't know how many women I have to rob my husband with." ”

Guo Jia smiled slightly and didn't say anything more.

Walking not far along the path, Guo Jia's brother and sister saw a person running towards them.

The distance was getting closer and closer, and the brother and sister saw that it was Cao Shuo who ran over.

"Why is Guo Gong here?" When he came to the front, Cao Shuo arched his hands and said, "Miss is actually here too, what a rare guest!" ”

"Listening to Childe's tone, it doesn't seem like he wants me to come." Guo Jia and Cao Shuo saw each other, and Guo Xin said angrily: "Then I'll go first, don't be here to hinder the eyes of the son." ”

"Don't!" Cao Shuo hurriedly said: "I mean Miss is here, the cold house is suddenly blooming, and even the plants and trees are back in spring!" ”

"Flim Flam!" Rolling his eyes, Guo Xin turned his face to the side.

"Childe, there are a lot of gift-givers outside!" Guo Jia said: "Just now I saw that Captain Cai was very busy. ”

"Among the people under me, Cai Ji is the most tactful." Cao Shuo said: "If Sima Zhongda is asked to do such a thing, it will be too much to exalt those people outside." Thinking about it, I think only Cai Ji is suitable. ”

"When others give you gifts, you are disgusted!" Guo Xin said angrily: "I haven't seen anyone like you." ”

"You can't rely on me!" Cao Shuo said with a bitter face: "Miss doesn't know, those people's purpose of giving gifts is very direct, they just want to have a relationship with me." I'm really too close to them, there are only villains around me, how can I achieve anything big! ”
