Xie Yi smiled and swallowed melon seeds, drank flower tea, and listened to them talk about these interesting things, and was in a good mood.

It was lively, it didn't seem so cold, and the moon was not as bright as August 15, but a full moon hung in the sky, and the bright moonlight sprinkled on the ground, and the brilliance was pure and clean, like an inch of frost that seemed to be touched, and it was also extremely beautiful.

When it was almost time to disperse, Xie Yixiao asked Mingjing to send everyone money and silver for the holiday, the second-class maidservants were two taels, and the Spiegel Qingluo was five taels.

Xie Yi smiled and felt that if the people around you betrayed you, if they didn't approach with a purpose or didn't have the right mind, it might be that the feelings were not in place or the money was not in place.

As long as you are kind to them, but if you have a conscience, you will not do such things as betraying you, and to put it mildly, that is, if you want the horses to run, feed them more grass.

At night, when she lay on the bed, she was also very sleepy, and turned the sandalwood Buddhist beads placed under the pillow and fell asleep.

。

In the early morning of the next day, Rong Ci asked Cao Shizi to have tea in Fan Yuelou.

Cao Shizi was only slightly surprised, and then was invited to go, and the two met in the private room of Jinguang Building in Fan Yue Building.

Cao Shizi smiled when he saw someone: "It's really rare, I thought you didn't care about anything outside, but I didn't expect to invite me to tea, but I don't like tea, let people bring wine." ”

The people of Fan Yuelou were busy preparing wine and food, the two sat down to drink and eat, Cao Shizi ate two pieces of meat, drank a little wine, and squinted his eyes: "This day is so good, happy." ”

Rong Ci drank two glasses of wine with him, and then sat there and watched him eat, without speaking.

Cao Shizi also knew his cold and desolate appearance, and he didn't care much, and after eating for a while, he felt comfortable, so he asked him: "You came to me, but what's the matter?" Is it for the sake of the horse team? ”

"Horse team?" Rong Ci raised his eyebrows, "What horse team?" ”

When Cao Shizi heard this, he knew that he didn't know about it, but since he mentioned it, he also said: "It's not the third child of the Xie family, and he wants to form a horse team, so Xie Jin found me, saying that he wanted the two families to cooperate, and they were responsible for other things, and our side was responsible for people, so I thought it was okay, so I handed over the matter to the third child of our family." ”

Excuse: "......"

He knew that the third child of the Xie family probably referred to Xie Yu, but the third child of the Cao Guo Mansion, he thought for a while, and then remembered that it was Cao Jiankong, who was not in good shape and took the path of Wenchen.

"But there were some disputes when they negotiated the conditions, and they haven't negotiated them yet." Cao Shizi laughed twice, "Let them toss these things, I don't care." ”

Even if they are brothers, they have to settle accounts clearly, especially in this kind of cooperation, all the conditions have been negotiated in advance, so as to save the pull and pull in the future, as for who of the two has better interests, it depends on their respective abilities.

He and Xie Jin didn't care.

"But the idea of this horse team is really good, if this is really formed, it will make a lot of money." Cao Shizi said, "If they are allowed to come out and arrange to run for a few years and earn a sum of money to go home, it is also extremely good." ”

People in the army are almost replaced every three years, and when they are old, they have to arrange to leave, or arrange new jobs, or be dismissed and return home.

If they can make some money and go back, their lives will be more stable in the future.

Rong Ci did not have words, he is now taking over the Dingbei Army, and he has indeed encountered this problem, these people joined the army when they were young, served the country, and when they are old, they have to leave, how to arrange it is a big deal.

If someone wants to return home, they will give them some money to return, and if they are more capable, they can also arrange an errand for them, such as an official or a local official.

However, there are too many people, it is not easy to arrange errands, and there are not many severance pay, if it is a normal person, it is just that, and there is still strength to go back, can work, and life is still passable.

The most feared thing is that there are injuries or defects on the body.

In the early years of the war, it couldn't be arranged, and these people were also raised by various mansions, such as the guards in their mansions, the guys in the shops, and the people who helped in the grange, and a large part of them were these people.

"Forget it, don't talk about it, I'll be sad when I say it." Cao Shizi took a sip of wine, and then asked Rong Ci, "Since it's not for this, why did you come to me for?" Isn't it really possible to ask me for tea and drink? ”

Rong Ci poured himself a glass of wine, and then said: "I came here today to ask one thing, the one whose mansion is going to help King Huainan marry the Marquis of Changning?" ”

Cao Shizi's face changed, and he suppressed his voice and asked, "How do you know about this?" ”

Rong Ci explained: "He also came to ask my mother before, wanting my mother to help, my mother refused, I told Miss Xie about this before, when I went to Xie's house yesterday, your sister told her about it, and she told me about it. ”

Cao Shizi nodded when he heard this, indicating that he understood, and he himself felt a little worried about this matter: "You are looking for me for this?" How? When did you like to care about these things? ”

Rong Ci glanced at him, and then said: "The Duke of Cao Guo Mansion shouldn't go to this troubled water, no one can tell who is this kind of thing, and King Huainan... It really shouldn't be to marry such a woman. ”

There are so many women in the world, which one of the kings of Huainan doesn't marry, how can he marry a woman who has the 'destiny of the heavenly phoenix'?

Cao Shizi also had a headache: "I also know that it shouldn't be, but he seems to really like the Gu girl, I heard my mother say that when he begged my mother, he was also very sincere, and he didn't marry the Gu girl, my father and mother couldn't bear it when they saw him like this." ”

"And my father and mother don't want him to marry the daughter of the Shen family, I'm afraid that if he continues to mix with the Shen family, he will go the wrong way in the future."

The Duke of Cao Guo's Mansion looked at the face of Prince Zhaoming, and also wanted to be good for King Huainan, since he liked Gu You so much, and even did such a thing as robbing relatives for Gu You, and now he wanted to marry someone like this, which was enough to make them hesitate.

Rong Ci asked him, "Do you think King Huainan is stupid?" ”

Isn't this question a little strange, Cao Shizi was a little confused, he reached out and grabbed a handful of hair, and after a long time, he spoke: "It shouldn't be stupid......

"If you're not stupid, why would you want to do something stupid? Could it be that he really likes this Gu girl so much, and for this Gu girl, he can't care about any future in the future? ”

"Or does he think it's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?"
