It was already midnight when Hong Xiu came back, with a tired look on his face. It was already the cold weather in late autumn, and there was a layer of fine beads of sweat on his forehead.

Tan Yun quickly poured her a cup of hot tea and sweetly shouted, "Sister Hongxiu, please drink some tea first."

Hongxiu took it and took a sip. There was no ladylike temperament, but she choked because the temperature was a bit hot. Cao Yi rolled his eyes, it seemed that he was indeed thirsty and exhausted. When he learned that he had not even used dinner, Cao Yi

Yi then told Qiu Wen to arrange for the dining room to get some food.

"No matter how much you have to do, you can't go without food and drink." Cao Yi said in a slightly reproachful tone, but the expression on Hongxiu's face was quite happy, which showed that her son cared about her, which was a very happy feeling.

.

"Sir, Qingfeng Building has been cleaned up, but it is estimated that it will not be open for business in a short time. We are extremely short of manpower." Hong Xiu reported to Cao Yi while eating the pastries brought in by Qiu Wen.

"I have informed Ya Po and asked her to contact other Ya Po tomorrow to take people directly to Qingfeng Tower. Do you want the young master to go together tomorrow? I'm afraid that I can't make the choice by myself, which will delay the young master's important event."

"I'll go if I have time. Anyway, I have to work out their induction training with you." Cao Yi continued to write something on the paper and said without raising his head.

"Induction...training?" Hongxiu swallowed the cake in her mouth, then looked at She Yue and Tan Yun next to her, and found that the two of them also looked confused, so they knew that the young master had said something they didn't understand again.

"Sir, what is the induction training?"

"Oh, it means providing relevant training and guidance based on their different job divisions so that they can work skillfully." Cao Yi raised his head and explained, then looked at the names written on the paper and asked: "

The name Qingfeng Tower must not be used anymore. I have thought of a few restaurant names here, including Hongxiu, Tanyun, and Sheyue. Come and see for me, sir, which name is better?"

The three maids came up, and for a moment various fragrances mixed together and hit his nose. It made Cao Yi's nose itchy and he stepped back so that they could take a closer look.

"Sir, I like Zuixianlou." Tan Yun is the youngest, the liveliest, and the fastest to express his opinions.

"Master, the wine we sell is Taibai Zui. I think it would be better to call it Taibai Lou." She Yue's voice is also very nice, soft and waxy, but she must be a newbie here, so when she speaks, she is serious and has

There is a slight sense of distance, but it may get better once we get to know each other better in the future.

"What about Hongxiu, which one do you think is better?" Cao Yi saw Hongxiu tilting her head and thinking but never said anything. He tapped her forehead with his hand, causing the latter to squeal.

Hongxiu brushed the hair that was messed up by Cao Yi with her hand, and said softly, "Master, I think Taibai Tower and Zuixian Tower are both good, but Zuiyun Tower and Xuanyun Pavilion are not as good as the first two."

"Well..." Cao Yi pondered for a while.

"Then I'll listen to Tan Yun and call it Zuixianlou." After saying that, he pinched Tan Yun's fleshy little face. This made Tan Yun nervous. He wanted to hide but didn't dare, so he had to

He turned to Hong Xiu and She Yue for help.

"Master, how can you bully Tan Yun? She is so cute!" Hongxiu couldn't stand Tan Yun's pitiful eyes, so she had to come out to seek justice, which made Cao Yi laugh. She Yue looked on with a trace of her eyes.

He had envious eyes, but a smile appeared on his lips, forming a perfect arc.

…

After that, they were laughing and joking for most of the time. Looking at the engraved copper pot, it was already midnight, and Cao Yi was ready to take a rest.

After Tan Yun and She Yue sent Cao Yi out of the study, they returned to the desk, inserted the book that Cao Yi had just read with a bookmark, put it back aside, and poured out the excess ink in the inkstone.

, the messy papers on the table were tidied up, and then they blew out the lights, walked out of the study, locked the study door, and then walked back to the west wing on the right. Their work came to an end today.

"Sister Ying'er, do you think our young master is a good person?" Tan Yun was lying on his bed, looking at the roof, and asked dreamily. As a result, She Yue slapped her leg hard, scaring her to the point of falling.

Got up.

"Tan Yun, don't call me sister Ying'er anymore. Remember to call me She Yue. You can call me sister She Yue in private, but in front of the young master, you should still call me She Yue. Do you understand?" She Yue said sternly.

, Tan Yun nodded blankly.

"Young master bought all our deeds and gave us new names. Then our previous names can no longer be used. If outsiders find out, we will suffer. Do you understand?"

She Yue still spoke with a straight face, but after speaking, she still sat down and put her arms around Tan Yun's shoulders. "Young Master must be a good person. You see he is so good to Sister Hongxiu, and we just came here today, so let's do this

We have been given monthly money for each month, and I heard that every three months, we are given three days to go home to visit our relatives. At that time, Xiao Tanyun and I will go back to Xilan Village to see our family, okay?"

Tan Yun's little eyes lit up when he heard this, and he nodded like a chicken pecking at rice. Then he took out the things wrapped in a handkerchief from his arms, clicked his lips, and said with afterthought: "Well, sir.

You gave me all the remaining pastries today. Sister Sheyue, let’s eat them together. They’re delicious!” Then he pouted in distress, “It’s a pity that the pastries can’t be kept for that long, otherwise you can take them back.

I will feed it to my father, mother and brother, and my brother will definitely like it very much."

"Silly girl, you can buy some delicious food in the city and take it back with you!" She Yue said to Tan Yun lovingly.

"That won't work. I have 500 yuan every month, and I can save 1,500 yuan in three months." Tan Yun counted with his little finger, and continued: "I plan to give 1,200 yuan to my father and mother."

Money, and another two hundred dollars to buy some gifts for Mother Li. Mother Li has been very kind to us these years. There is still a hundred dollars left. Tan Yun also wants to buy some rouge, gouache and so on. Sister Hongxiu said that in the future

You must dress up in front of the young master, otherwise you will be punished by the steward!"

She Yue touched the tears that fell from the corner of her eyes, put her forehead against Tan Yun's head, and said softly: "Yeah, we, Tan Yun, are the kindest and cutest ones. Young Master will definitely treat you well."

…

Putting aside the conversation between She Yue and Tan Yun in the room, Cao Yi walked back to the main room from the study and found that Xiren had already boiled hot water and was waiting for him to take a bath.

Maybe I have never done anything related to this before. Although Hongxiu has sent someone to teach me, in the end, I have forgotten everything. At this moment, I look at a loss, with a small face flushed nervously, and two hands grabbing my body.

The clothes on both sides were held tightly, and he looked like he was about to cry.

Cao Yi thought it was funny and thought of teasing her on purpose. He immediately stared at Xiren with a straight face and said, "Huh? What! Do you want me to take care of you?"

Xiren was so frightened that his face turned from red to pale and bloodless in an instant. He knelt on the ground and cried, "I don't dare, I don't dare..."

Hong Xiu, who was standing next to him, couldn't stand it any longer. He glanced at Cao Yi, helped Xiren up and comforted him in a low voice, "Xiren, don't be afraid. The master is deliberately trying to scare you. You see, the master is not angry at all." Cao Yi was also embarrassed.

The attacker waved his hand.

He kept mumbling that these people were too careless and frightened, so he had to talk to them carefully in the future.

Hongxiu taught Xiren step by step how to help Cao Yi bathe, wipe his body, and put on a clean nightgown. Both Hongxiu and Cao Yi were so used to this process that they didn't feel embarrassed. This was the first time Xiren saw a man's body.

His face turned red. Finally, at Hongxiu's signal, he went to make the young master's mattress and lay down in it to warm the bed. When it was almost warm, Cao Yi happened to have done it, so he came out to help Cao Yi lie down.

, covered him with the quilt, blew out the lights in the room, quietly returned to his bed outside, sat there holding his chest and panting.

What happened tonight was still a big challenge for her who had never experienced it before, but she was already mentally prepared to sacrifice her body. She was originally in Jinfeng Tower

, it was almost time for her to groom her, but now that Cao Yi had bought her back and arranged her to be a maid, it was only a matter of time before it happened.

The night slowly grew longer, except for Cao Yi and Hongxiu who slept peacefully as usual. However, the seven maids who had just been bought into the Cao Mansion by Cao Yi from Jinfeng Tower today were all looking at the circle outside the window with their big eyes open in the dark night.
