This room was cleaned by the servants and is decorated in the same antique style. In fact, it is not much different from the old man's room.
It seems that Old Master Cao doesn't particularly care about these things, Tang Xiaobao looked around.
Cao Ying took out a set of shirt and trousers from the closet, even shoes and underwear.
"Sister Ying, why do you have men's clothes here?" Tang Xiaobao laughed strangely.
After spending a long time with Cao Ying these past two days, Tang Xiaobao's previous awe has gradually decreased a lot, and he even dares to make jokes.
Cao Ying said calmly, "I bought this for you in advance."
"Oh, Sister Ying is really thoughtful." Tang Xiaobao took the clothes and compared them, praising: "Well, the size is right, but -"
"Just what?" Cao Ying frowned.
Tang Xiaobao said hesitantly, "I wore shirts when I was a kid, why do I feel so awkward about it?"
Cao Ying said, "It's good to have something to wear. Go take a shower quickly. You can leave your dirty clothes there later."
"I'll wash it myself, so Sister Ying won't have to worry." Tang Xiaobao touched his nose.
Oh my god, sister wants to help me wash my underwear?
Go away, it’s too evil, the picture is too beautiful, I dare not imagine it.
The smile on Tang Xiaobao's face became a little evil.
Cao Ying laughed and scolded, "You still want me to help you wash? I'll give you three words."
"Don't say you love me." Tang Xiaobao said quickly.
"You wish."
Cao Ying walked to the door and said, "The servant will wash the clothes. I'll wait for you outside."
The manor was so huge, with so many pavilions and towers, that it was easy to get lost. Cao Ying didn't walk far and sat down by the rockery outside the house.
Not long after, Tang Xiaobao came out of the shower. He looked at Cao Ying a little embarrassedly and asked, "What do you think?"
Cao Ying stared at Tang Xiaobao, a strange color flashed in her eyes, and she didn't say anything for a long time.
Tang Xiaobao was a little nervous: "Is it really ugly? I know it. I am not suitable for wearing shirts."
"Didn't you look in the mirror?" Cao Ying was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
"I looked in the mirror, but I can't tell if I'm handsome." Tang Xiaobao said honestly: "Even if I think I'm handsome, it's up to others to judge. What's more, I really feel a little awkward in this outfit, as if I'm no longer myself."
Cao Ying sighed, "It seems you'll have to wear more shirts in the future."
Tang Xiaobao asked curiously: "Why?"
"Because shirts really suit you. I'm not lying to you this time, they really look good on you. You are a natural clothes hanger. If you were taller, you could even be a model." Cao Ying praised.
Tang Xiaobao said in a foxy tone, "You are not kidding me, are you?"
"Do I need to tease you?" Cao Ying asked back.
Tang Xiaobao laughed: "You have good taste, hehe, it's so rare to hear such compliments coming from you. But forget about being a model. If I had to choose a career, I would never go into the entertainment industry or the fashion industry, even if I had to die."
"Why?" Cao Ying was also a little curious.
Tang Xiaobao laughed and said, "If I act in a movie, I'm afraid of sacrificing my first kiss. I can't devote myself to art. If I become a singer, I'm afraid of the paparazzi. There's no freedom, no space. Modeling is even worse. I'm walking around on the stage by myself with a bunch of people watching. I'd feel like a monkey."
Cao Ying was speechless.
After a while, she said angrily, "I think you are just saying sour grapes because you can't eat them."
Tang Xiaobao laughed dryly: "Hey, Sister Ying, you really understand me."
Lunch was simple. The whole family and Uncle Fu sat down, including several servants. There were just a few side dishes and two bowls of soup.
After taking a bath, Old Master Cao felt much more energetic. He smiled at Tang Xiaobao and said, "Xiao Tang, let me tell you, ordinary people can't enter my manor. I heard that many people outside want to come in to add glory to themselves.
But in my opinion, they've been kicked in the head by a donkey. Look, the living standard here is no worse than yours. Here, there are no such things. Everyone sits together, and no matter who you are, you're all considered a member of the family. Haha, don't be polite, just be casual..."
As one of the four great families in Jiangnan, the Cao family was undoubtedly wealthy and powerful, with wealth and power unmatched by ordinary people. However, Tang Xiaobao was surprised by Old Master Cao's mentality. Of course, he also really admired him and said, "Old Master Cao is approachable and lives a simple life. He is worthy of learning from us young people."
"Well, even if you are flattering me, it's the right kind of flattery. I think my thinking is pretty good.
Behind closed doors, we are a happy family, how wonderful it is. Why do you have to act like an idiot and feel that you are so great?
In fact, how great a person is is not what he says or pretends to be. It depends on what he has done for society and for others, and how others evaluate him. This is the most important thing.
You know, the leader once said that the eyes of the masses are sharp." Old Master Cao was in a good mood and spoke freely.
Tang Xiaobao agreed repeatedly. On the one hand, he really thought that Old Master Cao was a good person, and on the other hand, he didn't want to make him unhappy.
He is nearly ninety years old and it is rare for him to be so happy. From now on, I have to count the days carefully and not make him unhappy.
Everyone enjoyed the meal.
The servants cleaned up everything, and Tang Xiaobao was taken fishing by the old man.
The two brothers of the Cao family stayed with him and did not leave. At night, before going to bed, Tang Xiaobao gave Old Master Cao another acupuncture treatment.
This time, a lot of toxins still seeped out of Old Master Cao's body, but compared to the morning, it was much less.
For three consecutive days, Tang Xiaobao stayed with the old man in this manor, fishing, playing chess, chatting and taking walks.
