Fantasy: Starting out as a gigolo, born a Confucian sage

Cao's house.

"Isn't today the hairpin banquet? Your lover is a top scholar, so he will definitely go."

"Why are you still sick and not going?"

Cao Zijing leaned back in his chair, slowly brewing tea for himself, fanning himself with a folding fan.

"What am I going to do?" Cao Zhuyu rolled her eyes.

After Chu Youyi spoke frankly yesterday, she felt embarrassed and stayed at home early in the morning.

She really didn't know how to face Shen Wuming. If she said she didn't like him...

She definitely liked him a little.

But to say that they could "live a good life with three people" now was too exaggerated.

Cao Zijing looked at her with disdain, "Believe it or not, within three days, you will run to Shoutinghou Mansion again."

"No, Dad..."

Cao Zhuyu was speechless, "Didn't you have a lot of opinions about Mr. Shen before? Why do you seem to be eager for me to get married now?"

"I have no opinion."

Cao Zijing shook his head, "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. I am old and can't care so much..."

"Tsk!"

Cao Zhuyu was too lazy to care about him. She walked towards her room with her hands behind her back, leaving Cao Zijing alone in deep thought.

"Boss, the young lady is..."

Old Zhang, the deputy shopkeeper of Cao's workshop, who had been standing by but seemed to be non-existent, suddenly spoke up with a somewhat inexplicable expression.

Although he was just helping Cao Zhuyu, he was only responsible for a small workshop like Zhongshan County.

But he was actually Cao Zijing's confidant. Otherwise, how could he help Cao Zhuyu?

"It's obvious that there's someone in your heart."

Cao Zijing's mouth twitched. Although he acted open-minded just now, it was impossible for him not to feel resentful.

The little cabbage that he had raised for more than ten years has grown up to be so beautiful. How could he bear to marry her off?

But seeing Cao Zhuyu like this, she almost married herself off.

Old Zhang sighed, "Then why don't we use some tricks to break up this pair of mandarin ducks?"

"What mandarin ducks?" Cao Zijing's face had turned ashen. "The mandarin ducks are the first talented woman in Zhongshan."

"Zhuyu, this girl, is also a..."

Speaking of this, he couldn't help shaking his head, and thinking of Old Zhang's question, he also sighed.

"Do you think I don't want to break them up? But Zhuyu's mother died early, and I... don't want her to be unhappy."

"But as parents, we should plan for our children in the long run." Old Zhang still wanted to insist.

"Don't pretend." Cao Zijing looked at him with contempt, "You treat this girl like your daughter, she is closer to me than me, how can you bear it?"

Old Zhang laughed twice and scratched his head. He actually wanted to see Cao Zijing's attitude.

After all, he has no children. Cao Zhuyu was brought up by him. She is not a daughter, but she is the same as a daughter.

It doesn't matter if Cao Zijing wants to break up the couple, but if Cao Zhuyu is unhappy, then he, Old Zhang, will have an opinion.

"Okay, Sanbao!"

Cao Zijing slammed the folding fan on the table with a "snap", "Let the young people do whatever they want!"

"I am an old man, I can't keep up with the thinking of the young people, and I am too lazy to worry about it."

"But you keep an eye on me. If Shen Wuming dares to let my daughter down, I will make him know what regret is."

When he said the last few words, Cao Zijing exuded a powerful aura.

Zhang Sanbao also looked stern.

Others only say that Cao Zijing is the richest man in the world, but for people in the business world, their strength is proportional to their wealth.

It is conceivable that Cao Zijing's strength is so terrifying that it can even be said that he is one of the strongest people in the business world in history.

…

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of banquet.

The guests of the hairpin banquet have also dispersed, and Ye Qingchen and Zhang Taisu have also returned to the inn.

At this time, there is no one else, Zhang Taisu follows behind Ye Qingchen with a little respect.

"That boy is a talent..."

Ye Qingchen paused, knowing who the boy he was talking about, and sighed, "I just thought he was a Confucian genius."

"But at the hairpin banquet today, someone also mentioned several articles he published in the official newspaper."

"His understanding of the Mohist way is far better than that of ordinary people, and it is the stuff of my Taoism..."

Ye Qingchen did not continue, but Zhang Taisu also knew what she meant.

Just a casual question stumped their little Tianshi of Tianshi Dao, which is not something that everyone can do.

You know, Ye Qingchen has a Taoist bone, follows the old Tianshi, and is familiar with the three thousand Taoist scriptures.

He is known as the dragon and tiger of the time!

If not, how could she be appointed as the next Tianshi of Tianshi Dao as a girl?

"Yes, this kid is a versatile person." Zhang Taisu was also thoughtful, thinking of the policy discussion that Wang Xiu and Shen Wuming had just discussed.

"His policy discussion is all about reform. In fact, this thing is not only useful to the court."

"My Tianshi Dao has come to this point, seemingly prosperous, but in fact it has always been feared by the court!"

"Including other Taoism in the Central Plains, it is also because of the previous... It's time to reform."

The main idea of ​​Taoism is to be unrestrained, if the road is not flat, someone will shovel it, if things are not fair, someone will take care of it.

So since the birth of Taoism, hundreds of large and small uprisings have broken out.

This made the courts of various countries a little scared when they saw Taoism, so they suppressed it in various ways.

Although they were not to be wiped out, they were still very wary of them gathering together and worried about an uprising.

In particular, their Tianshi Dao had a dark history, and they were always jealous of the Han court.

This time, Ye Qingchen, a little heavenly master, came out to take charge of the world. He had the intention of establishing a good relationship with the imperial court.

"When the time comes, little Celestial Master, you go to the court and send the mithril..."

Zhang Taisu was thoughtful, but Ye Qingchen waved his hand.

"Don't worry, Zhongshan County is quite interesting, and Shen Wuming... is also quite interesting."

"Stay a few more days..."

…

Cao Juyu sat in front of the lamp, flipping through the account books and calculating various accounts. This is also the way of practice for merchants.

During this process, she could feel the slow growth of her cultivation.

After finishing the accounts, she planned to write about the car plan.

Although Shen Wuming gave the production ideas, the options needed to be implemented. From production to operations to sales, she had to oversee every link.

As she started writing, she couldn't help but surprise flashing in her eyes.

"this……"

She felt that the merchant's mana in her body was expanding rapidly, more than three times faster than when she checked the accounts just now.

"Can this thing have such a big boost to the business world? Wouldn't that be..."

Cao Juyu was thoughtful. She could basically conclude that cars would be a big industry in the future.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside. She put down her pen and opened the door to see that it was Shen Wuming.

"Shen...Mr. Shen, why are you here?"

Cao Juyu's hands were trembling slightly, and she pursed her red lips, feeling a little at a loss.

Yesterday, Chu Youyi took off her fig leaf, and Shen Wuming came over at this time...

Is it possible...

Just when Cao Juyu's thoughts were racing, she saw Shen Wuming hand over a lotus leaf package.

"You didn't go to the Hairpin Banquet today. I asked Mr. Pei and said you were feeling unwell."

"I just came over to take a look and brought you some food for the Hairpin Banquet."

Cao Juyu took the lotus leaf package, her face was reddish, her head was slightly lowered, and the arc of her heavy clothes was extremely graceful.

"Thanks."

"It's okay, don't worry, everything is clean!" Shen Wuming added, fearing that she would mind.

"It's just been served and before everyone has eaten, I'll pack it for you."

Feeling the still warm lotus leaf wrap, Cao Juyu felt warm in her heart.

Shen Wuming asked her about her body again and made sure she was fine, so he just assumed it was her relative.

Without saying anything else, he said goodbye and left.

When he reached the door, he paused again and turned around.

"If it's...menstruation, drink more brown sugar water, or you can boil brown sugar ginger water or red dates!"

"Then I'll leave first."

Looking at Shen Wuming's back, Cao Zhuyu's face was a little complicated, but thinking of the last instructions, she couldn't help but feel shy.

He stamped his feet and groaned.

Just as she was about to close the door, Cao Zijing walked out of nowhere.

"Hey, I brought you some food. Tsk tsk tsk, it's good to be young... Don't you plan on giving me some?"

Cao Juyu rolled her eyes, "Didn't you have dinner? Go to bed early."

"Bang."

After closing the door, Cao Zijing spat, "My little cabbage, my juicy little cabbage..."
