Mr. Cao was about to get up, "Xiaoyue, I sent the letter, you better go back and rest more." ”

Xiao Yue stood up and stopped: "Master, it's not easy for you to come here, how can I let you go." She turned to Yun Yan and said, "Go and get some of the pastries made by Linglong, and let Master and Xiaoyu taste them." ”

Mr. Cao shook his head and said, "I see that your body has not recovered, your face is pale, and you are not very stable when you walk, I am afraid that you are weak and weak, so we will not bother, and we will talk about it when you recover." ”

An Pu stood beside Xiao Yue and said reluctantly: "Brother Yue, you have to take care of your illness, you are getting thinner and thinner." Just now she threw herself into Xiao Yue's arms, and found that her brother Yue was really scary.

Xiao Yue smiled disapprovingly and said: "I'm so young, this illness is nothing, it's just a little cold, and it will be fine in a few days." She turned her head to look at Mr. Cao, still having some doubts about his origin this time, "Master, my body is really fine, do you have anything else to tell me?"

Mr. Cao was a little hesitant, "Xiaoyue, can you still hold on?"

Xiao Yue nodded with a smile, and at this time, Yun Yan came in with a box of pastries, walked up to Xiao Yue, stuffed her with the hand stove that had just been filled with charcoals, and then took out the pastries and brought them to Mr. Cao and An Pu.

"You try it, this is made by my cook, the craftsmanship is good, if you think it is delicious, when you leave, I will bring you a few more boxes." Seeing that they were still a little restrained, Xiao Yue took a piece first, and said with a smile: "I'm really a little hungry, so you're welcome." Then he ate to himself.

Seeing him like this, Mr. Cao glanced at An Pu, and each took a piece and ate it.

"Well, this pastry is delicious. An Pu praised as she ate.

"Well, Xiaoyu likes to eat, I'll ask someone to pack a few more boxes in a while, and you can also give it to Shiniang to taste when you bring it back. ”

An Pu couldn't close her mouth with a smile, "Brother Yue is so good!"

In fact, while Xiao Yue was talking, she observed Mr. Cao next to her, and always felt that he had something to say. As soon as he saw him finish eating the pastry in his hand, he asked Yun Yan to pour hot water for him, "Master, it's very pleasant to drink tea after eating the pastry." ”

"En," Mr. Cao nodded, "Xiao Yue is really thoughtful. ”

"Master, why do you and I need to be so polite, I think Master seems to have other things, so it's better to say it and let the apprentice hear it. ”

Mr. Cao stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Hey, I can't hide anything from your eyes, this matter is actually not a big deal, I just want to take advantage of this letter to inform you by the way." As he spoke, he took out another boxy piece of paperhead from his bosom and handed it to Satsuki.

Xiao Yue put Lord Wang's letter in her arms, took the thin letterhead, slowly unfolded it, and found that there were only four names written on it, she asked puzzledly: "Master, this list... ”

"Hey, the old man is also looking for trouble, after leaving the official school, I wanted to return to the mountains and forests, but the place where I live is not far from Hualong Academy, the dean of the academy, Bai Aoki, is my old friend, he often comes to visit me, sometimes he will bring a few students to come over to see, and slowly get to know some young people. The four people on the note are the four students recommended by Hualong Academy to study at the official school this time, I know all four of them, and they are not good seedlings. ”

Xiao Yue was still a little puzzled and asked: "I'm not the master of official learning, nor am I the official of the imperial court, so the master gave me their list, this is... ”

Mr. Cao stroked his white beard and explained: "These people are basically children of poor families, and it is very rare to be recommended to official schools. I know that you are not an official in the court, and I know all those officials in the court now, but I don't think there is anyone who can compare to you, and I hope you can give them some guidance when you have time. ”

Xiao Yue was a little embarrassed and said, "How can I give me? I don't have a position in the official school." ”

Mr. Cao smiled and said: "This official school also has a holiday, if you want, they can come to the door to ask for advice!"

Xiao Yue was just about to resign, but Mr. Cao continued: "Don't be modest, don't shirk, now the imperial court is the time to employ people, it is rare to have talents, and it is beneficial to serve the country and yourself." ”

Xiao Yue looked at the old Mr. Cao with blazing eyes, and really couldn't find a reason to refuse, but she didn't really want to get too involved in this world, especially the affairs of the court, it was okay to earn some money and prepare for the passage home, but if the affairs of the court were not good, she would lose her head.

She lowered her head, thought about it, and knew that Mr. Cao was working hard, these newcomers who had no foundation in the imperial court, if they could take it for their own use, then in the future, whether they were officials or businessmen in Great Britain, the situation would be very different. Although she was bent on leaving herself, it was good for these people to leave Wen Youyou, so she made up her mind and nodded, "Okay, Master, I know, these people will pay attention in the future." ”

After Mr. Cao saw that she agreed, he also smiled, "En, the old man knows that Xiaoyue is a smart person." He took a sip of tea, looked at the house, and said with some emotion: "Actually, I have been to your house before." ”

Xiao Yue heard it and was about to ask why, but Xiao Qi didn't know when she broke in, staggered, and rushed straight to herself, her mouth kept saying, "Daddy, Daddy, you're up, you can play with Xiao Qi for a while." ”

Xiao Yue hugged Xiao Qi who was about to fall, looked at Xiao Lan who was standing at the door with a helpless face, and Mr. Cao who was shocked by his beard, she was just about to open her mouth to explain, but she heard An Pu next to her yell, "What? Daddy!"

Xiao Yue turned her head to look at An Pu with an incredible face, and quickly explained: "Master, Xiaoyu, this is my son Xiao Qi. He said to Xiao Qi again: "Hurry up and call Grandpa Shizu, and Aunt Xiaoyu." ”

Xiao Qi found that there were other people in the room, he looked up at Whitebeard's grandfather, and called out in a milky voice: "Grandpa." Mr. Cao, who was still shocked, looked at such a small person and said, "This son is even smart, Xiaoyue is really blessed." ”

Xiao Qi was praised for being happy, but when he was about to call Aunt Xiaoyu, he suddenly stopped talking, because An Pu's eyes were already red and swollen at this time, and he was so frightened that he hid in Xiao Yue's arms.

An Pu looked at Xiao Qi resentfully, choked up and asked, "Is he your father?"

Xiao Qi nodded timidly.

Mr. Cao found that An Pu was a little out of shape, and shouted in a low voice: "Xiaoyu, this is your brother's child, don't scare the child!"

An Pu didn't seem to hear Mr. Cao's question, and then asked, "Then where is your mother?"
