After Cao Yi finished thinking about everything, Cao Yi remembered that he would go downstairs to distribute opening envelopes to all employees this morning. According to traditions and customs, it should be the seventh day of the first lunar month before the seventh day of the first lunar month. However, Zuixianlou’s reputation in Jiangning City is so great and popular. Many people have made reservations before the New Year, and they have made reservations from the first lunar month to the Lantern Festival. This is also a new membership honor that Cao Yi proposed for those VIP card customers before the Spring Festival.

Any VIP card customer who reserves a normal seat or a seat in advance will withhold the money in advance in advance in the VIP card. If it arrives as promised, the money will be deducted for subsequent consumption. If it does not come within an hour after the reservation time, the money will be deducted directly. Of course, these are written clearly in black paper and white. Cao Yi also specially prepared a manual for this - "Zuixianlou VIP Convention", and asked someone to make thousands of plates and print them to give them to each VIP customer.

The opening profit Cao Yi distributed to all employees in the morning was that everyone was the same, without a distinction between size and number, and was treated equally and the amount was not large, just to make everyone happy. Indeed, these waiters can basically be said to have a rest all year round, and they only have the opportunity to take turns to make rest when they are not busy. However, in order to make more money, no one has been given a rest yet.

At noon, Hongxiu suddenly came up and said, "Young Master, there are a noble young masters downstairs. The leader holds a VIP card belonging to Prefect Yang and says he is here to drink with you..."

Cao Yi looked at Hongxiu in confusion: "Magistrate Yang's VIP card...Naughter? It's Brother Xingwen!"

Cao Yi said to Hongxiu happily: "Hurry! Hurry! Please come up quickly..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately changed his words: "No need, I'll go down and ask for it myself!"

When they went down the first floor, Cao Yi saw Yang Xingwen standing among a group of people, one by one, either rich or noble in terms of dressing, but Yang Xingwen should be the highest position, because everyone was talking and laughing around Yang Xingwen.

Cao Yi quickly stepped forward and smiled heartily: "Brother Xingwen, are you here? If you don't introduce me, these young heroes are all..."

"Brother Yi, come on, let me introduce you to Zhang Lin, the son of Lord Zhang, the chief judge of Jiangning, Liu Chen, the son of Lord Liu, the son of Lord Wang, the son of Lord Wang, the son of Lord Wang, the son of Lord Wang, the son of Lord Ding, the son of Lord Ding, the son of Lord Chen, the governor of Jiangning, and Chen Du, the son of Lord Chen, the governor of Jiangning." Yang Xingwen greeted Cao Yi to come and introduce them one by one.

Cao Yi naturally greeted each other respectfully, and then invited Yang Xingwen and others to the third floor. First, let Yang Xingwen sit in the upper seat, and then the others were arranged to the upper seat, and he was the last one. It was not that Cao Yi was afraid of them, but because Cao Yi was the youngest among all, he naturally gave him enough courtesy. Moreover, because the visitors were all friends of Yang Xingwen, Cao Yi gave him enough face and treated them with the politeness of his elder brother.

Cao Yi also asked Hongxiu to arrange a table of Zuixianlou's signature dishes in the kitchen, but before the hot dishes came, the waiters brought a few cold dishes, including Fugui.

Egg. When these people saw Fugui Egg, they did discuss it. They had eaten this Fugui Egg with auspicious meaning at home these days, but they didn’t know where they bought it. Now, after listening to Cao Yi’s introduction, they realized it was the signature dish of Zuixianlou.

The children of officials brought by Yang Xingwen were generally much older than Cao Yi, basically 25 or 26 years old, and they were not in Jiangning City before. Yang Xingwen went to Hangzhou to make up for his actual flaws because he passed the palace examination. Most of the others went to the Imperial College in Beijing to study. They could even be considered as disciples of Mr. Lu, so when they talked about relationships with Cao Yizhen, they were also considered brothers of the same sect.

"... I have not made a name for myself in the Imperial College in Beijing. I have not made a name for myself in the past two or three years. I have been betrayed Master Lu and felt that I am ashamed of my teacher's kindness. I have been back in Jiangning for so many days, but I still dare not go to Master Lu's mansion to pay New Year's greetings..." Chen Du said sighingly at this time.

"Brother Chen, you dare not go to Master Lu's mansion to pay homage, so we are even more afraid to go..." Wang Ji said with a wry smile.

"... But Master Lu was also considered a master of a master this time. Judging from the literary talent of Cao Yi, he is still staying in Jiangning City and never visited other places, and his talent has spread all over the world. The entire capital is also widely spread to the junior brother's "Shuitu Songtou" and "Autumn River Flower Moon Night". Those literati and poets and brothel courtesans often take out poems to discuss. And from my perspective, because Cao Yi, you don't live in the capital, there is no direct competition and suppression on the influence of those talented men and beautiful women. They also admit that you are very talented and amazing..."

"... But if you really go to the capital, you will be able to jump out again and take the opportunity to suppress you. No matter what, the younger brother is like us, and how can the romantic talent in the capital lose face and be taken over by the younger brother. Moreover, if you defeat the younger brother in the poetry competition, you can also improve your fame and reputation. Such a multi-killing thing will definitely be rushing to do..." Liu Chen said with a smile.

Everyone nodded in recognition, and Cao Yi naturally refused to say something wrong with his brothers. Although Cao Yi was almost a round younger than them, everyone was considered speculative after talking during the meal. With Yang Xingwen's human nature, the friends he made were all very good-character people, and everyone really treated Cao Yi as his junior brother, so the atmosphere was very harmonious and everyone was very happy to talk. Except for Yang Xingwen, the other Wang Ji, Chen Du, Zhang Lin, Liu Chen, and Ding Yu were not pedantic nerds. Of course, they did not have the arrogance and playboy habits that other officials were born with. They were also in a state of speaking and chatting, and they were not fake.

Ding Yu raised his glass to tell everyone to chat with him, and said with a wry smile: "We were considered good at Shilin in Jiangning City. Not to mention the unparalleled literary talent, at least they were considered to be high-level and high-level. However, when we arrived in Kaifeng, Tokyo and entered the Imperial College, we realized what it means to have heaven and people outside of us. Naturally, during this period, we were criticized and made some jokes because we were not local people in the capital. The family background of our Jiangning was not as good as those in the capital, and there was no talent that could suppress them.

They have always looked down upon me, but fortunately, after the Mid-Autumn Festival, my junior brother, you passed on a pair of poems, words and poems, and only then did we make a little regain the situation for the talented men in Jiangning, and the children of officials in the capital restrained a little bit of momentum."

Everyone nodded with empathy, and Zhang Lin sighed: "This is indeed the case. Maybe we will rely on you, junior brother, to help us find the place again in the future, so you must study hard. After passing the test in the future, go to the Imperial College in Beijing to give us Jiangning scholars a good face, so that those who are usually well-behaved and stinky will have a good understanding of the talent of our Jiangning No. 1 talented man."

It has been several days since they returned to Jiangning from the capital, so naturally they found Cao Yi's name as the number one talented man in Jiangning from their parents and people around them. Before, they did not spread it so in detail or in detail when they were in the capital. They only knew that a talented man named Cao Yi had published a couplet, wrote a poem, and wrote a poem. As for how old, how good he looked, or how his family background was, it was just in line with a later generation of opera that people were not popular.

"After that, when the junior brother arrives in the capital, we are the senior brothers, but we must welcome you well. I tell you, this capital is indeed more charming and charming than our Jiangning. Then we will take you to the Alum Tower to experience it. The courtesan competition there will be really spending thousands of dollars. We don't even dare to think about the big money of buying flowers and giving flowers..." Wang Ji said with a smile.

Then everyone talked from the top courtesan building to the eight major stores in Jiangning City, and then from the top of the eight major stores to the first courtesan carpenter in Jiangning. During this period, Zhang Lin suddenly asked: "We have just been here for a few days. It is said that the first courtesan carpenter in Jinfeng Tower was redeemed after turning back, but I don't know who was redeemed by the fish mysterious. When we came back last year, we met several times at Jinfeng Tower and supported us several times. Indeed, whether it is the talented or the appearance or posture, it is a top choice. Speaking and chatting is even more wonderful. You have been staying in Jiangning. Do you know the specific details of Yu Xuanji's redeem?

Cao Yi touched his forehead and didn't know how to answer. At this time, a knock on the door outside the house, and then the door of Yazu was pushed open. It turned out to be Yu Youwei and Jin'er, the master and servant. It seemed that he was walking around the restaurant as usual. He felt tired while listening and learning, so he came back to Yazu to rest. Then, as soon as the door opened, he smiled sweetly and shouted, "Young Master!"

Finally, I noticed that so many people were having dinner inside, and Yu Youwei and Jin'er were stunned for a moment.

“…”

“…”

Yu Youwei and Jin'er outside the Yashita, Cao Yi and others inside the Yashita stared at each other, especially Zhang Lin, who had just asked Cao Yi whether he knew Yu Xuanji's condition, widened his eyes and looked like he couldn't believe it. After a moment, Yu Youwei reacted first, said to Cao Yifu with a gentle tone, and said in a gentle tone: "Young Master, I'll bother you, I'll take my leave..."

After saying that, no matter what the people inside were in, he quickly closed the door of the elegant seat and fled...
