Kowloon wins

Chapter 252

"My lord, Cao Yin and Master Cao are here."

Mr. Ba had just left, and Hong Qing just stretched halfway, when she saw Li Minxing strode out from behind the screen, rushed to the front, bowed, and hastened to report.

"Announce."

For Cao Yin's arrival, Hong Qing was not surprised at all, nothing else, this place belongs to Cao's family, and all the officials who came to pay their respects have disappeared, so it is the turn of Cao Yin, the master, to come forward isn't it?Even though she was exhausted, she still had to see what she should see, Hong Qing didn't think too much about it, and agreed directly.

"Your Majesty, Jiang Ning weaving doctor Cao Yin kowtowed to the Imperial Envoy."

Not long after Li Minxing left as promised, Cao Yin, who was in a neat official uniform, turned in from the outside again. Seeing Hong Qing sitting at the head, Cao Yin didn't dare to be negligent, and walked a few steps quickly, grabbing When I got close, I paid respectful salutes and paid homage.

"Your Majesty Cao, you don't need to be too polite, please be at peace."

Before Cao Yin's salute was in place, Hong Qing got up and walked to the front, very politely stretched out her hand to give her a hand, and called out warmly.

"Thank you for the kindness of the envoy, the lower officials have prepared bouillon, and I would like to ask the young prince to move over."

It is true that Cao Yin was able to win the old man's absolute favor because of chance, but it was also because of his ability to behave. No, when he saw Hongqing being so polite, Cao Yin's face immediately showed tears of gratitude, and he bowed humbly, The invitation was sent out casually.

"Okay, let's talk about Mr. Cao then."

Since arriving at Cao's house, Hongqing has not been able to relax, and has been busy receiving local officials. At this moment, it is already past noon, so she is sleepy and hungry, and she really doesn't want to go to the banquet. But since he has settled in Cao's house, no matter what, he has to give face to Cao Yin, the master. Moreover, Hongqing also expects Cao Yin to make great efforts in the rectification of salt affairs, so it is even more difficult to refuse Cao Yin's invitation to a banquet, so he can only Neng Shiqiang pulled himself together and agreed with a smile.

"Qing Baylor, please!"

Don't look at the fact that the Cao family is very expensive now, but Cao Yin never dared to take it lightly, not for anything else, because he knew very well that everything now came from the old man's love. Once the old man left, the Cao family would be so big The family business is bound to be watched by others. If you can't stand against the princes, the consequences will be unimaginable. Because of this, Cao Yin has to be more careful. He never had any private contacts with his brothers in the past. However, since the last private meeting with Hongqing, Cao Yin was shocked by Hongqing's wisdom, and he really started to cling to him, but he couldn't get close. But he had thought about it early on, and he would rather offend Ba Xi again than invite Hong Qing to his house, and now he hastened to invite Hong Qing to the banquet, naturally thinking that he could get closer to Hong Qing For some, seeing Hong Qing graciously agreed at this moment, they were overjoyed, turned sideways quickly, and said "please" with a smile on their faces.

"Lord Cao, please!"

With Hongqing's astuteness, she could sense Cao Yin's intentions to flatter her, but Hongqing didn't take it seriously, because in Hongqing's view, it was nothing to pull the confidantes of the old man like the Cao family into her camp. It's a good thing, but it will arouse the old man's unreasonable suspicion, but it is also a good thing to have a good relationship with him. At least in the matter of salt affairs, it is really inseparable from the Cao family's help. Because of this, Hong Qing accepted Cao Yin's hospitality very frankly, and responded with a smile, then walked out of the living room slowly, chatting and laughing with Cao Yin, and walked towards the inner courtyard of the Cao family.

"Kowtow to the imperial envoy!"

The Cao family has a great career, but it is not prosperous in terms of children. In Jiangnan, there are only two families, Cao Yin and his younger brother Cao Quan, each with a son. Among them, Cao Yin's son is named Cao Yong, who is only fifteen years old; The son of Quan is Cao Fu, who is only thirteen years old; however, there are many daughters in the two families, each with ten daughters. There are so many wives and wives in the Cao family, the entire Cao family is really a bit like a yin and a yang decline, no, after Hongqing and Cao Yin turned around a courtyard gate, Yingyingyanyan's greetings were loud, It really made Hong Qing feel a bit overwhelmed for a while, and there was nothing beside him. Although the Manchus don't pay much attention to the defense of men and women, they seldom let all the female relatives come forward when welcoming guests. Obviously, Cao Yin is such a flatterer. The heart is really too eager.

"Forget it, please hurry up."

After all, Hong Qing had gone through countless big scenes. Although she was a little bit guilty in her heart, she soon came back to her senses. She raised her hand warmly and cried out in a warm voice.

"Thank you, Mr. Chin Envoy, for your kindness."

The Cao family picked up the driver several times, and they are very familiar with the etiquette of the imperial court. When Hongqing called out, the voice of Xie En was really neat. It was just a soft language of Wu people. It really made Hong Qing quite uncomfortable, but luckily the city was deep, so it wouldn't bring it to her face, but being looked at by dozens of pairs of beautiful eyes, the smile on her face was unavoidably a little stiff.

"Qing Baylor, please come inside."

Cao Yin is a sophisticated person, so he could see that Hong Qing was a little uncomfortable, fearing that Hong Qing might be offended, he didn't dare to neglect him, so he quickly stretched out his hand, and moved Hong Qing inward.

"Well, Mr. Cao, please."

Thinking back when Hongqing was in the society in her previous life, she developed her face to be as thick as a city wall, and she did a lot of things like squatting on the street to see beauties, but now she is seen by all beauties as a rarity Calling Hongqing was a bit unbearable. It seemed that some of them were going back more and more. This time Cao Yin gave in, and he really felt a sense of relief. He responded casually, and hurriedly walked to the yard. If the footsteps are still calm, then there is a posture of running away.

"Crack, crack!"

Perhaps because he sensed Hong Qing's discomfort, Cao Yin hosted a banquet without allowing the female relatives to participate, but just accompanied him with his younger brother Cao Quan. Quite a lot, and a lot of good things were said, chatting about wild anecdotes, but the host and guest enjoyed themselves, after a short while, the wine had passed three rounds, but Cao Yin smiled mysteriously, stretched out his hand and struck twice palm.

Um?This song...

Seeing Cao Yin laughing so strangely, Hong Qing couldn't help but be taken aback. Before she could ask any questions, she heard the sound of a piano playing leisurely behind the screen in the corner of the hall. Hong Qing can also play this piece, so she is very familiar with it. Just listening to it, you can tell that the player is quite good, and the interpretation of the artistic conception is quite good, but the technique is a little lacking. Obviously, This performer should not be too old, and he has not been immersed in this way for too long. He is not considered an excellent player. In the market place, it is considered a good player, but for Hong Qing, who is used to listening to famous sonatas, it is obviously not enough. The problem is that Cao Yin introduced it so mysteriously. This person, shouldn't his intention be to make a fool of himself?

"Come on, Shuang'er, hurry up and meet Qing Baylor."

Just when Hongqing was muttering in her heart, after hearing several strings, the sound of the piano had stopped and the lingering sound was lingering, and a little girl in a long blue dress came out from behind the screen gracefully. He is not very old, maybe around ten years old, tall and slender, with picturesque eyebrows on his melon seed face, although he has not yet opened, but at a glance, he looks like a beautiful fetus, before Hong Qing can figure out what is going on However, Cao Yin, who was sitting beside him, waved with a smile on his face and called the little girl to him.

"Little girl Cao Shuang'er has met Qing Baylor."

Hearing Cao Yin's greeting, the little girl didn't dare to neglect her, she walked slowly to the front of the table, facing Hong Qing, she greeted Yingying with a blessing in a soft voice.

"Miss Cao is too polite."

Hearing that this little girl was also surnamed Cao, Hong Qing's heart couldn't help being moved, and she vaguely understood what Cao Yin's intentions were. Dixu raised his hand and cried out warmly.

"Qing Bei Le, this is the little girl Cao Shuang'er, who is good at piano and dance, let her dance to a song, how about toasting Qing Bei Le?"

Cao Yin has been peeping at Hong Qing's face, seeing that Hong Qing is not displeased at this moment, he is more enthusiastic about "sales".

Damn it, the baby girl in the capital is still hanging there, and this guy has done something like this again, well, it really is endless!

Hongqing is such a shrewd person, Cao Yin just promoted it, and Hongqing became more sure of her previous guess, and her head got a little bigger because of it, but this time, she still needs Cao Yin's help. It's not good to embarrass Cao Yin at such a time, so he can only pretend to be ignorant and nod his head and say: "I will stick to my wish, I dare not ask for it."

"Come on, play music!"

Hearing that Hong Qing agreed to his proposal, Cao Yin was overjoyed, clapped his hands with a blushing face, shouted loudly, and soon saw a group of female musicians in costumes holding various musical instruments coming out of the courtyard. Filed in, and after saluting together, they took their seats. After a cloud board, the dance music started leisurely.

As soon as the dance music played, Cao Shuang'er, who was standing quietly in front of the hall, twisted her small body, her two sleeves fluttered up, her waist and limbs were as soft as bones, her eyebrows and eyes were vivid, and she danced with the music, her figure flickering In it, sometimes it looks like an elf among the flowers, hovering and dancing, sometimes it looks like a petrel in the rainstorm, fighting against the wind and waves, and sometimes it looks like a green pine in the snow, no matter how big the wind and snow are, it will not give in, what is it really about? Like, even a well-informed person like Hong Qing was shocked by the little girl's dance for a while, and suddenly, his mind fluttered with the dance, and he forgot both things and me for a while, the wine is not intoxicating, and people I'm drunk!
