Cao Xiangnan knew from the smell of alcohol that this was his wine. He would get drunk if he touched this kind of high-concentration liquor, so he never dared to drink it. Chuchuyu offered him a drink, and he held it in his hand. He didn't know whether to drink it or not. Chuchuyu

raised his head and drank a glass. Seeing Cao Xiangnan still sitting there with the wine in his hand and staring at him, he frowned and asked, "Why don't you drink it? Do you look down on me?"

How come both of them are his brothers? Cao Xiangnan wanted to cry but couldn't.

"No, no, how could Xiangnan look down on Brother Nian. This is because I can't drink much, and I'm afraid I'll get drunk if I drink. I think I'd better drink tea instead." Cao Xiangnan reached out to grab the teapot, but his hand was grabbed. Looking at the person holding his hand, he laughed dryly.

What this person fears most is meeting a gangster, especially when this gangster seems to be unreasonable after drinking two glasses of wine.

"This winemaker can't drink?" Chuchu Yu was surprised and turned to ask Jiang Dongyi.

Jiang Dongyi didn't say anything, and was obviously thinking about this question.

Who stipulates that winemakers can drink? Cao Xiangnan complained in his heart, don't you see where this is? If he was at home, he would really accompany you to drink a glass, but this is a brothel. If he gets drunk and falls asleep, who will be responsible? He hurriedly begged for mercy, "My little brother can't drink well, please don't blame me, big brother."

For his own integrity, Cao Xiangnan felt that it was necessary to humble himself appropriately.

"Old Yu, I'll drink with you, just let this kid go." Jiang Dongyi did say a good word to help.

Chuchu Yu snorted, looking at Cao Xiangnan with a look of contempt. How could a man not drink? Or is he not a man at all? Since he brewed the wine, he let him go. He let go and said, "Go back and practice your drinking capacity. Come drink with me next time you meet me."

"..." Cao Xiangnan thought to himself, "I will definitely not come to you next time." He smiled and said, "Yes, yes, definitely."

He saw that the boy was just perfunctory. Chuchu Yu liked the boy after he knew that the good wine was brewed by this boy. It was rare for him to meet Jiang Dong, and the two had a lot to talk about. Chuchu Yu traveled a lot in the south and had not been to Fengdu for a long time. Naturally, he didn't know the situation in the capital.

As soon as he heard the current situation in the court, he knew that the Li family army was gone and Zhenmen Pass was also seized by that slave. Chuchu Yu cursed the old emperor, but he did not avoid Cao Xiangnan who was sitting here at all, as if he treated him as his own.

Cao Xiangnan sat here listening, not saying a word, drinking his tea.

It has been a long time since he last saw their master. Chuchu Yu asked about their master, and Jiang Dongyi just said "there are a lot of things over there". He came from Fengdu and met his master. Jiang Dongyi didn't say much about some things.

It was said that Fang Ziye had not been to Nanyang City for a long time, and he had been detained in Fengdu City by King Yi.

Thinking of the current situation in Fengdu City, Chuchu Yu could understand that they were afraid that their master could not get away.

They followed Fang Ziye, so they naturally knew who their master was working for. Their caravan could travel smoothly all the way, which was more or less related to that master. But if possible, they didn't want their master to have too much involvement with the court. Once involved with the court, it would not be so easy to get out of it later.

The old emperor would not live for many more years. If that master became the emperor, it would be fine. If his other brothers became the emperor, it would not be a good thing.

Two people were drinking wine and one was drinking tea, and they were quite harmonious. After

going to a brothel and drinking a bellyful of tea, Cao Xiangnan, a man, didn't even dare to look at the other boy's face twice. He was severely ridiculed by Chuchu Yu, but he was proud of it. If you have the ability, don't become a house cat in front of that boss! But he didn't dare to say this to Chuchu Yu.

"Come and play again next time, brother will treat you to a drink." Chuchu Yu said.

A slap on the shoulder almost knocked him down, Cao Xiangnan stood up straight.

"Okay, okay." Bullshit! Who likes to go to a brothel to drink for no reason? It's not like he wants to die, Cao Xiangnan complained in his heart. But this was the first time he met Chuchu Yu, and he still liked this unrestrained man in his heart.

After he and Jiang Dong left, Chuchu Yu naturally stayed in the brothel overnight. He now lives in Qingfeng Building, and he is still relying on the boss.

Liu Qinghong was helpless about the people who came. They had been entangled for many years, year after year. People's hearts are not made of steel, and they will always be moved. But he also knew his own situation. Not to mention his broken body, he was several years older than Chushuyu.

He still had some looks now, but after a few years when he was old and ugly, would this person still look at him again? He was also a little concerned in his heart. If

he couldn't get rid of him, he had to let him stay with him. Liu Qinghong didn't dislike this person in his heart. He also allowed the selfishness in his heart. If this person still had a part of him in his heart, he should let him come to Qingfeng Tower.

At night, the boss kept the man in his house, and the two of them were naturally infatuated and affectionate.

The night passed quickly.

The morning sun shone on the bluestone-paved road. The long street was full of pedestrians from the beginning to the end. Yipinzhai's business was very good early in the morning. Regular customers came to the upstairs to drink tea. There was an endless stream of customers at the door. The waiter took the customers from one end and hurried to take the customers from the other end.

Shopkeeper Fang stood at the door, counting the day's bills with beads. When he saw someone leaving, he asked, "Go out, where are you going? Let the carriage take you there."

Cao Xiangnan replied, "Yes," but refused Shopkeeper Fang's offer to let him take the carriage. He said, "No, I can just walk." It was just a few steps away and he had to take a carriage. There were so many people on the street that it would be faster for him to walk.

Shopkeeper Fang waved his hand to let the person go, and he lowered his head to count his bills. Cao Xiangnan took the Liu family boy out the door. Liu Yuan followed behind his master. The child ran around with the master, and he also developed a bit of calmness, which made him look like a real person.

Walking down the street, looking at the pedestrians in long gowns, most of the men are big and strong, while the boys are slim. Cao Xiangnan can roughly distinguish the men from the boys by feeling. When he first came here, he didn't have any time to adapt to the role and quickly immersed himself in this role. Cao Xiangnan didn't expect that he would play this role so well.

Since you are here, you should make the best of it.

He also has to thank God for arranging him to come to this world, so that he can meet the person who is worth cherishing for his whole life. After not seeing each other for a few days, Cao Xiangnan really misses the man and children at home.

The hawkers' cries are in his ears. There is a war in the north, but the people here still live in peace. He hopes that everything here can always remain like this.

"Boss, how much is this hairpin?" Passing by a stall, Cao Xiangnan was attracted by the wooden hairpins on the stall. The carvings on it were detailed and lifelike. It was not his forte to polish such small things by himself.

Bending down, he picked up a simple and elegant wooden hairpin, thinking about how Wanfeng would look wearing it on her head. This was the one he wanted. The hairpin was not expensive, and it was all handmade. He only had to pay a few cents for it. He paid with copper coins, "Wrap it up."

"Okay, sir, take it."

Cao Xiangnan put the wrapped hairpin in his arms, thinking about giving it back to the man at home. He would definitely be very happy. Every time he came to Nanyang and saw small things, he would bring some small things for his wife at home. From simple wooden hairpins to small and exquisite jade pendants, they were not fixed. As long as he liked it and thought it was suitable for his wife, he would buy it and take it back.

There was a small box on the table in the room, which Qi Wanfeng used to store the small things that her husband bought for her. As long as it was bought for him by her husband, it was a very precious gift in his eyes.

"Yuan, boy, is there anything you want to buy?" Cao Xiangnan, the old man, is quite nice.

"No, no." These are hairpins for boys. Liu Yuan, an unmarried boy, doesn't need to buy these things.

Liu Yuan is already at the age to get married, but he is a slave sold to his master. His master won't arrange a marriage for him, and his father and mother can't arrange one for him either. Besides, all of them are slaves, and no boy is willing to marry him.

Cao Xiangnan looked at the shy look of the half-grown boy, and remembered that people in this era got married early. Many boys got married early, and the two boys of the Liu family were already at the age to get married.

Thinking about the people who sold themselves into slavery in this era, the children they gave birth to were all slaves of the master's family, which was probably not a good thing. When Cao Xiangnan bought Liu Guizhong's family, he also made an agreement with them that if they could pay back the money they used to buy them, he would be willing to get rid of their slavery and restore their freedom.

The Liu family worked for him, and he would pay them wages every month, and there would be extra rewards during the New Year. I think they should have saved some money. Thinking of this, Cao Xiangnan wanted to go back and talk to Liu Guizhong about this.

On the way, Cao Xiangnan asked Liu Yuan if he had any boys he liked, and the boy blushed. Cao Xiangnan smiled and said, "If you like someone, just tell me and I'll ask a matchmaker to find you one."

He also told the boy that he should look for a hardworking partner so that they can live together easily. He was most afraid of finding someone who was lazy and unwilling to do anything. That would not be good. He explained the criteria for choosing a spouse to the boy.

Liu Yuan listened carefully to the master's words and kept them in mind.

However, at Liu Yuan's age, it would not be too late to get married in two years. He could talk about it after he returned home and there was no rush.

They soon arrived at the store. The boy, who blushed all the way, reminded him, "Master, we're here."
