Chapter 253: The Cao Family's Elves

"Little prince, Cao Yin and Master Cao are here."

The old man had just left, and Hongqing had only stretched halfway through his lazy waist, when he saw Li Minxing striding out from behind the screen, rushing to the front, bowing down, and hurriedly saying a word.

"Resignation."

For Cao Yin's arrival, Hongqing was not surprised at all, there was no side, the place where he lived belonged to the Cao family, and the officials who came to ask for peace were all gone, so it was Cao Yin's turn to come forward, right? Although he was tired and panicked, he still had to see what he should see, and Hongqing didn't think much about it, so he agreed directly.

"Xiaguan, Jiangning Weaving Langzhong Cao Yin knocked to see Lord Qincha."

Soon after Li Minxing promised to go, he accompanied Cao Yin, who was dressed in a neat official uniform, and turned in from outside, seeing Hongqing sitting on the top, Cao Yin didn't dare to slack off a little, walked a few steps, grabbed the front, and respectfully saluted and worshipped.

"Lord Cao doesn't have to be polite, please calm down."

Without waiting for Cao Yin's big salute to be in place, Hongqing had already gotten up and walked to the front, very politely stretched out his hand to help him, and called out kindly.

"Lord Xie Qincha is gracious, the lower official has prepared a thin wine, and he also asked the little prince to move away."

Cao Yin's ability to win the absolute favor of the old man is certainly due to fate, but it is also extraordinary because he can be a man, no, as soon as he saw Hongqing so polite, Cao Yin's face immediately showed gratitude, bowed humbly, and issued an invitation carelessly.

"It's okay, then it's going to talk to Lord Cao."

Since he arrived at Cao's house, Hongqing has not been able to be idle, and has always been busy meeting with local officials, at this time, after noon, he is inevitably sleepy and hungry, and he really doesn't want to go to a wine feast, but since he has stayed in Cao's house, no matter what, he has to give Cao Yin, the master, a face, and Hongqing is still counting on Cao Yin to make a big contribution to the rectification of salt affairs, and it is even more difficult to refuse Cao Yin's invitation to a banquet, so he can only cheer up and agree with a smile.

"Harubaelor, please!"

Don't look at the Cao family is now extremely expensive, but Cao Yin has never dared to take it lightly, not for anything else, just because he knows very well that everything now comes from the old man's love, once the old man goes, the Cao family's such a big family business will inevitably be spied on, if you can't stand in line with the princes, the consequences are unimaginable, because of this, Cao Yin has to be careful and careful, in the past, he never had private dealings with his brothers, but since the last private meeting with Hongqing, Cao Yin was shocked by Hongqing's wisdom, It's really a heart to cling, but it's just that I can't get close, this time it's rare for Hongqing to come to Liangjiang, Cao Yin has already thought about it, I'd rather offend Ba Xi again, but also invite Hongqing to his own house, this time I rushed to invite Hongqing to the banquet, naturally I also want to be closer to Hongqing, and when I saw Hongqing, I was overjoyed, and hurriedly turned to one side, and said "please" with a smile.

"Lord Cao, please!"

With Hongqing's astuteness, he can detect Cao Yin's intentions, but Hongqing doesn't care, just because in Hongqing's opinion, it is not a good thing to pull the henchmen and cronies of the old man like the Cao family into his own camp, but it will arouse the old man's unwarranted suspicion, but it is also a good thing to be able to have a good relationship with him, at least in the matter of salt, it is really inseparable from the help of the Cao family, because of this, Hongqing accepted Cao Yin's hospitality very calmly, responded with a smile, and walked out of the living room slowly, Talking and laughing with Cao Yin, he walked to the inner courtyard of the Cao family.

"Knock on Lord Chincha!"

The Cao family has a big business, but it is not prosperous in terms of children's rest, and there are only two families in the south of the Yangtze River, Cao Yin and his brother Cao Quan, each with a son, of which Cao Yin's son is named Cao Hao, who is only fifteen years old; and Cao Quan's son is Cao Fu, who is only thirteen years old; However, there are a lot of daughters of the two families, each with ten daughters, in addition to the adults who have been married, there are more than a dozen people in the house, and then counting the large and small wives of Zhu Cao, the whole Cao family is really a bit of a yin and yang decline, this is not, when Hongqing and Cao Yin turned a courtyard gate, Yingying Yanyan's invitation to be loud, really made Hongqing a little unable to turn for a while, no side, although the Manchus do not pay much attention to the defense of men and women, but there are few times when the ladies come forward when welcoming guests, it is obvious, Cao Yin's stammering heart is really too eager.

"Excuse me, please get up quickly."

Hongqing has gone through countless big scenes, although there are some muttering in his heart, but he quickly came back to his senses, and then raised his hand kindly, and called out warmly.

"Sergent grace."

The Cao family has taken over several times, and they are very familiar with the etiquette of the imperial court, and when they heard Hongqing call, the voice of gratitude was really neat, but the Wu people spoke softly, how to listen to it like a group of larks chirping, which really made Hongqing quite uncomfortable, but fortunately, the city was deep, but it would not be brought to the face, but it was looked at by dozens of pairs of beautiful eyes, but the smile on the face was inevitably a little stiff.

"Sunny Belle, please inside."

Cao Yin is an old and sophisticated person, and he can see that Hongqing is a little uncomfortable, but he is afraid that Hongqing will be strange in his heart, so he doesn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly stretched out his hand and let Hongqing go inside.

"Well, Lord Cao, please."

I think when Hongqing mixed with the society in his previous life, he practiced his face to the thickness of the city wall, and he did not do much to see the beauties on the street, but at this time he was seen as a rare thing by all the beauties, but it was called Hongqing very uncontrollable, and it seemed that some of them were going back more and more.

"Smack, smack!"

Perhaps because he was aware of Hongqing's discomfort, Cao Yin set up a banquet and did not let the ladies participate, just accompanied his brother Cao Quan left and right, as for his son and nephew waiting in the hall, there was a lot of good wine and good food, and a lot of good things were said.

Well? This piano ......

Seeing Cao Yin laughing so weirdly, Hongqing couldn't help but be stunned, and before he had time to ask, he listened to the sound of the piano behind the screen in the corner of the hall sounded leisurely, and it was a famous song through the ages - "Yangchun White Snow", this song Hongqing can also play it, and he is very familiar with it, just listen to it and know that the piano player is quite good, and the interpretation of the artistic conception is quite in place, but the technique is a little lacking in some heat, it is obvious that this player should not be too old, and it is not too long to be immersed in this way, It's just the level of ordinary musicians in the palace, of course, if it is taken to the market, it can be regarded as a good hand, but for Hongqing and other children of the heavenly family who are used to listening to famous music, it is obviously not enough, the problem is that Cao Yin launched this person so mysteriously, his intention should not be to offer ugliness?

"Shuang'er, hurry up and see Sunny Baylor."

Just when Hongqing muttered in her heart, but after listening to a few strings, the sound of the piano had stopped, and in the aftermath, a little girl in a cyan dress had come out from behind the screen with Tingting, not very old, estimated to be about ten years old, tall and tall, melon seeds and eyebrows on the face were picturesque, although they had not yet grown, but at a glance it was a little beauty fetus, without waiting for Hongqing to understand what was going on, but saw Cao Yin, who was sitting on his side, waved with a smile and summoned the little girl to the front.

"The little woman Cao Shuang'er has seen Qing Baylor."

Hearing Cao Yin's greeting, the little girl didn't dare to slack off, walked slowly to the front of the table, and greeted Hongqing is blessing in a soft voice.

"Miss Cao is polite."

As soon as she heard that this little girl was also surnamed Cao, Hongqing's heart couldn't help but move, and she faintly understood Cao Yin's intentions.

"Qing Belle, this is the little girl Cao Shuang'er, who is good at piano dancing, and let her dance a song, can you toast Qing Belle?"

Cao Yin has been peeking at Hongqing's face, and seeing that Hongqing has no displeasure at this time, he is more enthusiastic about "selling".

I'll go there, the doll in the Beijing division is still hanging there, this guy is here again, yes, it's really over!

Hongqing is a shrewd individual, Cao Yin just sold it, Hongqing is more determined in the previous guess, and his head is inevitably a little bigger, but this time there is still a lot of Cao Yin's help, it is really not good to lose Cao Yin's face at such a time, so he can only pretend to nod and nod and say: "I don't dare to ask for ears." ”

"Come on, play music!"

As soon as he heard Hongqing approve his proposal, Cao Yin was overjoyed, high-fived with a red face, and shouted loudly, and then saw a team of female musicians in costumes holding various musical instruments from outside the courtyard gate.

As soon as the dance music sounded, Cao Shuang'er's small body, which was originally standing quietly in front of the hall, twisted, the two water sleeves were already fluttering, the waist was soft as boneless, the eyebrows were expressive, dancing with the music, the body was flashing, sometimes like a little elf among the flowers, circling and flying, sometimes like a petrel in the rainstorm, fighting in the wind and waves, sometimes like a green pine in the snow, no matter how big the wind and snow were, it was unyielding, what did it really look like, even if it was a well-informed person like Hongqing, he was also shocked by the dance of the little girl for a while, and suddenly, The mind flies with the dance, and I forget about things for a while, the wine is not intoxicating, and people are drunk!
