Although Cao An had just become an official, he also knew the rules of the officialdom.
He smiled and said: "It's understandable that you want to stand out after serving as an official. As long as Mr. Wang can sit upright, Cao doesn't mind the beauty of adulthood."
As long as you do your job well, as for promotion and wealth, that's your business...
"Yes, I will remember your instructions carefully!"
Wang Tian didn't feel at all that it was embarrassing to be lectured by a fifteen-year-old boy.
Instead, he nodded helpfully without any displeasure.
Then, he smiled and said: "It's so difficult for you to come here. I don't have anything to entertain you... I have specially prepared a table of thin wine. I hope you can appreciate it."
"Forget it about eating."
Cao An didn't want to participate in this kind of utilitarian entertainment, it was boring.
But Wang Tian didn't want to miss this opportunity, lowered his head and whispered: "Xiaguan knows that Cao Sijian has an extraordinary background, and even Prime Minister Lu takes good care of you... Xiaguan naturally does not dare to make friends, he just wants to take advantage of the landlord It’s just a matter of friendship, please give me some advice from Cao Si.”
A rogue who was afraid of others suddenly turned into a seventh-grade Sijian.
With a position like this, the future is bright!
and……
He was promoted by Lu Yijian. How noble is that?
"In that case, it's better to be respectful than to obey."
Cao Anxin smiled and said solemnly: "Just ordinary meals, don't be extravagant! Otherwise what will happen to Mr. and Mrs.'s donation this time... Outsiders will criticize you."
"Yes Yes Yes!"
Wang Tian nodded repeatedly and smiled happily: "I know what to do!"
…
Cao An wants to stay for dinner.
Jian Yuerong naturally found it hard to accompany him, so he left Futian Courtyard early.
Later, wine and food were served one after another.
Wang Tian smiled and poured a glass of wine for Cao An, and whispered: "Cao Sijian will come later, I will have a surprise for you."
"Forget it, so-and-so..."
Cao An knew what he was going to do, it was nothing more than that...
I run a brothel, what haven't I seen?
Just when he was about to refuse, he saw a beautiful-looking woman walking in slowly.
"Liu Ruyan?"
Cao An read the name subconsciously.
Liu Ruyan, with a smile on her lips, bowed generously and said, "It's been a long time, Mr. Cao. Last time I had a quick visit, I didn't expect you to remember the name of the slave family."
Haha, are you sure it was last time?
Cao An smiled inwardly, but didn't point it out: "Ms. Liu is so beautiful and beautiful, what mortal can't be moved by it? It's just that I was in a hurry last time and neglected the beauty... It's a sin, a sin!"
"It is truly a blessing for the slave family to be remembered by Mr. Cao."
Liu Ruyan was filled with happiness: "But I don't know that Mr. Cao is now Cao Sijian. The slave family congratulates you!"
"Ha ha!"
Wang Tian couldn't help but smile and said: "It turns out that Cao Sijian and Madam Liu have known each other for a long time. This introverted official will introduce you two again. Come on, Madam Liu, please take a seat."
During the dinner, the three of them laughed constantly.
Wang Tian kept introducing Liu Ruyan: "Cao Sijian didn't realize that Mrs. Liu is also a kind person! Not only does she often help those orphans, but she also holds classes in Futian Courtyard to teach them how to read. This is a great merit!"
"Lord Wang, I am very complimentary. The slave family was also born in a lonely family. Naturally, I understand the hardships faced by these children... I dare not talk about high-level education. Even if it allows them to have the capital to make a living in the future, the slave family is worth it."
Liu Ruyan was born into a poor peasant family since childhood, and she and her widowed mother had each other.
But the temperament between her brows and her generous and elegant conversation are much better than many brothel girls.
You can even quote scriptures as soon as you open your mouth, which is really amazing.
Cao An also had no intention of eating, and his thoughts were racing in his heart.
Who is this Liu Ruyan?
She seems to be from a poor family, but she has an air of otherworldliness.
There is a proud temperament that cannot be concealed in every gesture.
Poor people don't have this kind of aura.
He put down the tea cup with a smile and said casually: "I heard that Mrs. Liu was the steward of Yichun Tower before?"
"yes."
Liu Ruyan lowered her head, and there was a bit of sadness in her words: "My mother is seriously ill, and the family has little savings. The slave family has no choice but to commit themselves to a brothel, which makes you laugh."
"What are you talking about..."
Cao An waved his hand and joked: "Speaking of which, Cao is also from a brothel, so we can be considered half of the same business."
What you said...
The two people around him were stunned at the same time.
Officials cherish their feathers the most. Can you tell a joke about being born in a brothel?
Cao An was also a little embarrassed, forgetting that his identity was different now...
Then he smiled and said, "Cao admires Mrs. Liu for having such filial piety."
Liu Ruyan smiled gratefully: "Thank you, Si, for your advice and love."
"Cao has a question..."
Cao An suddenly changed the topic: "Wang Hu, do you know Mrs. Liu?"
"do not know."
Liu Ruyan shook her head without hesitation.
"hehe……"
Cao An looked at her and said half-jokingly: "Wang Hu is a well-known gangster on the street. He has conspired with Jia Changjun before. Ms. Liu really doesn't know Cao?"
When normal people hear the name Wang Hu, they should probably say; I don’t know, I’ve heard of it...
But Liu Ruyan's reaction was too decisive and seemed a little happy.
Liu Ruyan's smile froze for a moment, then quickly returned to normal: "The Nu family is just a singer. She doesn't know what's happening on the street. Cao Sijian should not blame her."
"Haha, it doesn't matter. I just asked casually."
Next, it’s just chatting…
Although Cao An was probing inside and outside his words, Liu Ruyan could always find a topic to talk about.
A very enjoyable meal.
At least Wang Tian was happy and felt that he had left a good impression on Cao An.
Maybe it will be helpful to your career in the future.
…
street corner.
Cao An looked back at Liu Ruyan's back and suddenly smiled.
Arhat couldn't help but ask: "Why is Langjun laughing?"
"Someone can tell... Liu Ruyan has many secrets hidden in her."
"Her? Just a shepherd."
"Have you ever seen an honest man look at people like this?"
Cao An raised his eyes slightly, with a bit of pride on his face...
"A woman from a poor background had no choice but to commit herself to a brothel because her mother was seriously ill. Normally, most such people are cautious..."
"But look at her."
Cao An's eyes were long: "Is it normal to have such a proud aura?"
"Do you want me to send someone to check?"
Arhat doesn't understand this. He only knows that people whom Lang Jun values should be investigated clearly.
Cao An nodded and warned: "Be careful, this woman is not simple!"
"Yes! Don't worry, Mr. Lang."
…
Political Hall.
The three prime ministers and assistants were all sitting in the main hall, with different expressions on their faces.
The atmosphere is somewhat inexplicably thick...
Zhang Zhibai lowered his head and felt it, suddenly feeling the same as when the late emperor died.
At that time, the atmosphere in the political hall was as tense as it is today...
Everyone is always on edge, fearing that something will go wrong if they are not careful.
After a long while, Wang Zeng sighed.
"Three thousand guan to buy a charity, what a generous act!"
Snapped!
Lu Yijian, who was silent, finally broke out and slammed the table: "Old man, what do you mean!"
"Why is Prime Minister Lu so excited? Is it possible that what the outside world says is true?"
Wang Zeng looked at him coldly and said with a smile: "Cao An spent three thousand coins to repay Prime Minister Lu for his support. He even used the name of a female prostitute to cover up Prime Minister Lu. Such a sensible person, Officer, I am so envious!"
"you……"
Lu Yijian was so angry that he wanted to hit someone.
But he was Zaifu, so he could only endure it.
"Okay, no matter what, this kid is just messing around."
Zhang Zhibai opened his mouth just in time, shook his head and said: "Prime Minister Lu promoted Cao An, which is something the Queen Mother and Your Majesty have tacitly approved of."
Zhao Zhen said personally that day that he would take care of the descendants of the Cao family.
Although the methods used by Lu Yijian were a bit ugly, the results were good.
After Cao An entered the court, he not only showed his majesty's great care for his ministers, but also catalyzed the unity of many people in the court...
But no one expected that Cao An would not follow the procedure.
He beat gongs and drums to deliver three thousand guan to Futian Yuan, and secretly expressed that he was inspired by Lu Yijian.
What about you...
Not to mention Lao Lu being angry, anyone else would have gone berserk!
He, Lao Lu, is just a mercenary villain...
Just because you, Cao An, are rich, do you give me more support?
