Chapter 66: Old Friends
Seeing that he had eaten the wrong vinegar, Cao Yu was a little embarrassed, and seeing that there was nothing to clean up in the house, he took Ling Lingxiu'er to the street.
The streets of the capital are really bustling.
Ling Lingxiu'er originally thought that Xianggong would take her out to buy things for her life, but she was pulled into a jewelry store.
The jewelry shop in the capital is much larger than the small county town where Cao Yu and the others lived before.
"Oh, whose handsome son is this?" A fat woman dressed in a bright color ayara and wearing all kinds of jewels twisted her waist, she should be the proprietress of the shop.
"I'm going to buy some jewelry for my lady to wear." Cao Yu took Ling Xiu'er's hand and walked into the shop and began to look at each other.
The fat woman twisted her waist and leaned towards Cao Yu, such a handsome son is really rare in her shop.
The proprietress had a heavy smell of fat powder, so smoked that Cao Yu didn't dare to speak, her fat face was brushed with a thick layer of fat powder, and when she smiled, the powder began to fall, Cao Yu was afraid that she would choke on the powder as soon as she opened her mouth.
"Childe, do you have a wife? I really can't see it. The fat woman was about to pounce on Cao Yu with a fan.
Seeing that he had eaten the wrong vinegar, Cao Yu was a little embarrassed, and seeing that there was nothing to clean up in the house, he pulled Ling Xiu'er to the street.
The streets of the capital are really bustling.
Ling Xiuer originally thought that Xianggong would take her out to buy things for her daily life, but she was pulled into a jewelry store.
The jewelry shop in the capital is much larger than the small county town where Cao Yu and the others lived before.
"Oh, whose handsome son is this?" A fat woman dressed in a bright color ayara and wearing all kinds of jewels twisted her waist, she should be the proprietress of the shop.

"Childe, do you have a wife? I really can't see it. The fat woman was about to pounce on Cao Yu with a fan.
Cao Yu took the lady to dodge away from afar, covering her mouth and nose with her sleeves, and raised her hand holding Ling Xiu'er and said, "Open your eyes wide, my lady is by my side." ”
pounced, the fat proprietress begged for gas and glanced at Ling Lingxiu'er with disdain.
Although Ling Lingxiu'er was uncomfortable being looked at like this, she didn't say anything, she didn't want to ruin Xianggong's intention to bring her to the jewelry store.
"Na, the best jade bracelet is priced at thirty taels of silver." The fat woman didn't know where to take out a box and open it for Ling Xiu'er and his wife.
This bracelet has been in good condition for a few times, and there are cracks, Cao Yu is not a fool, he is about to leave with Ling Xiu'er.
But he saw a person in front of him, and it turned out that Wang Huan had brought a concubine to buy jewelry.
The two used to be classmates, Wang Huan saw Cao Yu very kind, and said with a smile: "I said how the magpie knocked on the door today, I was going to meet Brother Cao, I was very happy."
Cao Yu was also a little happy when he saw Wang Huan, and pulled Ling Xiu'er and said, "Yes, I came with a clumsy thorn." ”
Wang Huan looked at Ling Lingxiu'er carefully, and there was a plan in his heart: "Brother Cao is so blessed to marry a good wife." ”
Seeing that his little wife was praised, Cao Yu smiled.
Wang Huan pulled him and went to drink.
When the proprietress over there saw that Lord Wang Huan and Cao Yu knew each other, she immediately took out the jewelry and shouted: "Hey, don't go, son, I still have good jewelry here, show it to Mrs. again." ”
Wang Huan, who was shouted back by the fat woman, looked at the jade bracelet on the counter, where else did he not understand, he was also a human spirit, and then mocked at the proprietress: "Snobbish dog thing, my friends dare to bully too?" That's how your business works? ”
The fat woman secretly scolded herself for causing trouble, so she had to pay for it again and again.
The little wife pulled Cao Yu's sleeve, Cao Yu understood what she meant, and said to Wang Huan: "Lord Wang, since she knows that she is wrong, then forget it." ”
Wang Huan stopped when he heard this, and then pulled Cao Yu to the restaurant.
At the wine table, Wang Huan drank too much, and kept telling Cao Yu that he would definitely be able to win the first place and so on.
Cao Yu saw that Wang Huan was drunk, and he was very helpless, so he had to ask the restaurant to send him home with his concubine, and he also went back with Ling Xiu'er.
Speaking of the year when Wang Huan rushed to take the exam, it was actually the year when Huang County ordered to find someone to kill the reader, and he was going to harm Wang Huan after killing Cao Yu, but because Cao Yu saw through the trick of Huang County's order, Wang Huan escaped and fell into Tanhua.
The Cao family and his wife went home, but they didn't know that someone had been secretly following them.
The next day, the list was released, and Cao Yu took Ling Xiu'er to see the list early.
The result was that although Cao Yu won the list, but outside the top three, he looked at the list on the wall, a little lost, he thought he would be the champion.
How could Ling Xiu'er not feel the loss of her father-in-law, she didn't hope that Cao Yu could really win the top prize, and the two of them were safe and sound.
"Xianggong, it doesn't matter, it is a happy event for the Cao family to be able to win the first." Ling Xiu'er stopped Xianggong's arm, hoping to comfort him.
Cao Yu was silent.
Right here, two people came in the distance, it was Wang Huan and Zhang Ze.
"Brother Cao, I'm so happy. I'll just say you can win. Wang Huan said with a smile.
"What Master Zhang said is very true," Cao Yu said with a smile.
Zhang Ze originally wanted to say something, but seeing that Cao Yu's face was not good-looking, he knew that he was afraid that he would not be satisfied that he had not entered the top three. He didn't speak.
Wang Huan didn't notice Cao Yu's displeasure, and asked: "Brother Cao, the Qionglin banquet is about to start, you can go with us, and we can also join in the fun with you newcomers." ”
After speaking, he smiled heartily, but he was dazzled by Zhang Ze beside him, and he was puzzled: "Zhang Ze, what's wrong with your eyes." ”
Zhang Ze was angry with this elm, and instead pulled him to Cao Yu and his wife: "Brother Cao, we still have something to do, so it's inconvenient to disturb, you are free." With that, he took Wang Huan away.
"Hey, what are you pulling me for, I haven't had two drinks with Cao Yu yet." Wang Huan was very reluctant to be dragged away, and in his imagination, he should not be drunk with Cao Yu today.
What the hell is this Zhang Ze doing?
It's just that, I still don't expect Wang Huan, an elm to open his head, and I don't know how he was admitted to Tanhua.
Cao Yu knew that Wang Huan was unintentional, and he was not angry with him, but he couldn't let go of it for a while.
"Let's walk around." Cao Yu knew that his little wife was worried about him, and he didn't want to take him around because he was uncomfortable for his little wife.
Hearing that Xianggong was going to take him around, Ling Xiu'er was very happy, walking around, maybe Xianggong's mood would be better.
Over there, Wang Huan was pulled by Zhang Ze and reprimanded: "Didn't you see that Cao Yu's face was not good-looking?" ”
"Ah, I'm looking at it, okay, aren't you still talking and laughing with us?" Wang Huan touched his neck, he really didn't see it, if he saw it, he wouldn't be like that in front of Cao Yu.
This elm, Zhang Ze sighed and shook his head.
"I told you something, it is related to Cao Yu, if you do it well, I will give you a promotion." Zhang Ze instructed Wang Huan.
Wang Huan responded: "I will naturally handle the things that Master Zhang ordered, not to mention that Cao Yu and I are fellow villagers and classmates, so we are naturally very concerned." ”
Ling Xiu'er saw that Cao Yu was still sullen, so she wondered if she could find a way to make him happy.
Coincidentally, in front of it was a place that sold high-end pen and ink, and Ling Xiuer pulled Cao Yu to choose, and Cao Yu also followed Ling Xiuer's meaning to choose.
As a result, someone came from behind to talk about the champion this time: "Hey, do you know, this Jinke champion is Gao Lianci, the second character of Gao Shangshu." ”
"Hey, haven't I heard of him, he is a child on weekdays, obsessed with women, and he doesn't seem to be a person who can read, which of the nobles in this capital has something to do with our people in the market, and I have never heard of him having the ability to do learning." The other person responded to the Tao next to him.
The previous man lowered his voice: "Hey, you also said that people are nobles, and we small people can guess." He grabbed the man beside him and said mysteriously, "The water here is so deep." ”
The words of the two fell word for word, and all went into the ears of Cao Yu and his wife.
