Cao Nai originally thought that the Xu family was just an ordinary wealthy family, at best, the powerful family in the capital, otherwise why should I buy a book boy in Yunnan? It can be seen that the family lacks servants!

Unexpectedly, the Xu family was a first-class powerful man of the dynasty, with a large family and a strict family. Yuan's intention was nothing more than to match the young man she was targeting her husband. He was suffering from the fact that there was no young man she liked around him, and he made a temporary decision when he arrived in Yunnan and simply accepted a romantic scholar.

The first day, Mrs. Yuan and Aunt Li delivered food to him. When Cao Nai saw that there was wine, he said, "I am a little drunk. Please stay and have a bar together, two elders."

It just so happened that the two women were also greedy for alcohol, and were decent and not afraid of others' remarks, so they sat down to eat and drink.

Cao Nai said, "I am a newcomer and I don't know the best and the lowest level. I don't want to ask you two to deliver the meals. I'll pick them up by myself tomorrow."

Aunt Li said seriously: "No. The Xu family is strict. A man must not enter the inner house without summoning him. The food in the study has always been passed on by us."

Cao Nai said in surprise: "How dare I always bother my elders if I am a mere scholar? I think the kitchen must be located on the outside of the inner house. What's the big deal if I'm such a young age?"

"That's not possible." Mrs. Yuan shook her head and said, "Don't say that you are so old, even a child of seven or eight years old can't go in at will. Needless to say, in Jinling, the kitchen stove is on the west building, and the morning tea is taken from the house and left. You are a good child, and you can go to the stove in the outer alley to get it, because breakfast is simple. But you have to take turns waiting for lunch and night, and men are not allowed to come in and mix. Even if you are a girl and a wife, you are not allowed to walk alone in the dark when it's late, and you will be punished if you find out."

Cao Nai said disappointedly: "So that's it." Then he felt relieved again. This is a serious and wealthy family. If men and women contact each other casually, you can imagine how unbearable their family style is. Even if Miss Xu's family is as beautiful as a fairy, she would still respect Xie Bumin.

As he was talking, a servant brought in a basin of water. Cao Nai saw the lights at the door moving and asked, "Is there anyone outside?"

The servant shouted, "Sister Qing, why don't you come in?"

A clear voice came from outside, "Come here and pick up the things."

It turned out that Yuan sent her to deliver new bedding to Cao Nai. Sister Yuan knew her grandmother’s intention and walked out to pull her. She smiled and said, “What’s the shame? It’s about to become a couple. You have to put this bed on it.”

"Bah!" The red-faced man spat, threw the quilt on the empty chair next to him, grabbed his hand and left.

Sister Yuan smiled again and said, "What's there to be ashamed of? Forget it, I'll make a layover for you."

Cao Nai hurriedly said, "I dare not, let me do it myself."

"You are a man, you are clumsy, so I'd better do it." Mrs. Yuan smiled.

In the inner house, Xu Xiangyue was thinking about finding Xiao Yezi with her third uncle. Then she was very happy to travel in Zhejiang for a few days. This was an extremely rare opportunity. When she got married, it would be unavailable to go out casually. She couldn't help but envy Ripples. She was able to marry into her own family. She had such a reasonable third uncle couple. It was a good opportunity in all of thousands.

The close-fitting maid Cailu walked in with a smile and said, "Miss, Sister Qing has a husband."

Xu Xiangyue cursed: "What are you saying?"

Cailu said aggrievedly: "It was grandma who said she wanted to betroth Sister Qing to the new book boy. She is talented and beautiful. How could she not want to? This is what grandma said, not what I said."

Xu Xiangyue said curiously: "Really? Why didn't I come in and let me see it? I casually pointed out the marriage, and didn't ask Qing'er if she would like it?"

Cailu said, "He said he wanted to pay homage to the lady, but grandma said there was no need. Now she lives in the study outside."

"What's wrong with Madam? A newcomer can easily bring the girl out?" Xu Xiangyue shook her head in confusion.

When Cao Cao arrived, Qing'er brought tea in. Xiang Yue deliberately said, "Looking at your face full of spring breeze, it seems that there is something happy."

Jing'er suddenly turned red and shouted, "Girl, why do you say that? I don't understand."

Xiangyue said: "I just heard that my wife wants to betroth you to a new book boy. Is there anything wrong?"

"That was deliberately coaxing him. Who took it seriously?" Jing'er curled her lips disdainfully, "I know my wife has prejudice against me. At worst, I can go home, so why do I make jokes about others?"

Xiang Yue asked with a smile: "A woman is getting married sooner or later, you have to get married, right? Tell me, what about the character?"

Qing'er put down the teacup and said carelessly: "Ordinary."

Xiangyue observed her reaction and asked with a smile: "Do you dislike it?"

"What's the favourite or not? The girl is getting more and more gossipy." Qing'er suddenly laughed and said, "You will see it soon. You won't know when you see the girl? But in my opinion, he may not be in our house for a long time."

Xiang Yue seemed to understand something and said, "I was worried that I would mislead you, so I asked. If I could meet, I would have to see who it is."

The next morning, Cao Nai drank a few drinks last night, but didn't get up in time in the morning.

Mrs. Yuan really treated him as a brother, so she came in and called him up. Several servants living next door laughed and laughed in the yard.

Cao Nai hurriedly got up to dress. Mrs. Yuan was over forty years old, so she didn't avoid a young man under twenty years old. While helping him fold the quilt, she said, "I'm here to take you to the tea room outside to recognize the road. Next time you go get hot water and breakfast yourself, and take you into the kitchen to take a look."

In this way, Cao Nai followed her to the teahouse not far away. A group of men were brushing their teeth and washing their faces on the cement washbasin. He also stepped forward to wash his face, walked through a long alley, hit the side door and entered the inner house, and walked from the corridor to the large kitchen.

In the yard, there were a few women and girls. Sister Yuan introduced them one by one, pointed to the screen wall inside and said, "This place is not as good as Jinling. The tallest front building is grandma's bedroom, and the back building is the lady's boudoir. Now that people have not yet been raised, I'll take you out of it."

He was led through the pavilions and towers, and Cai Nai said, "It turns out that the inner house is so big, with houses everywhere, and you will get lost if you are not careful."

"This is where I went. Jinling is more than a hundred times bigger than here?" Mrs. Yuan chuckled.

"Ah!" Cai Nai was secretly shocked and said, "Sister-in-law, I didn't buy a comb box. I'll borrow it from any sister for me. I'll combed my hair and go to the street to buy it immediately."

Sister Yuan said, "It's easy, you go back to the house and wait for me."

It didn't take long. She took a rosewood box, which had a complete mirror comb and a small four-color bottle. Sister Yuan said happily: "This is all given to me by Sister Jing. She said that the bottle is the perfume and dew oil that the girl likes to use, and she has never used it. If you still want to ask me for it after using it, just ask me to take it again. If you don't have to take it back, you don't have to take it back. I'll give it to you."

After saying that, Sister Yuan left after she had something to do. Cao Nai looked at the comb carefully. It was used and there were still some traces on it, but it was cleaned up very clean, the fragrance of the clouds was still stagnant, and the marsh seemed to be. He sighed softly: "Sister Qing, you have deep meaning, Cao is grateful. If you can be destined to be a destiny man. If you are destined to be destined, how can I be bound by you? I will never dare to despise you and be a unfaithful man."

He sighed and looked in the mirror. He untied his hair bun, pulled out the hairpin used to fix his hair, and said in surprise: "I'm so careless. Fortunately, I was not seen by my wife yesterday. How could there be a poor man who sold himself with a purple gold ventilation hairpin? By the way, why not give this hairpin to Sister Jing, as a kind of gift to her."

After packing up and having breakfast, he reported to the housekeeper and said he wanted to buy something. After coming out, he met Qingshu who was strolling nearby.

Qingshu was holding the package in his hand, and Cao Nai asked, "What's it?"

Qingshu said: "The young master forgot to bring the things to comb, so I will take them today."

"You're more careful." Cao Nai took it happily, "I'm going to buy a dressing box and give it to a sister."

Qingshu whispered: "Young Master, you are rash, why did you send such objects when you just went in? It would be fine if they hide them, but if they take them out, wouldn't it be suspicious?"

"It makes sense." Cao Nai knew he was careless again, "Then he should return hers, I will use my own things."

But he still bought a handkerchief, three sweat towels and a mud-gold fan, sent Qingshu back, and returned alone.

As soon as he entered the study, Mrs. Yuan took the key and said, "Mrs. I told you to live in the Third Master's study before returning to Beijing. Good students will have great luck in studying. Remember not to read books randomly, as well as valuable scattered items."

Cao Nai said in confusion: "Third Master?"

Mrs. Yuan explained: "This time I came to Yunnan with my third master. My young master ranked fourth, and he is the legitimate son of the third master and his wife. The third master is the legitimate son of the second master. The entire Xu family has always been the third master."

"Oh." Cao Nai couldn't help but followed her to Xu Hao's study.

Xu Hao has always had many study rooms, and coming to Yunnan is no exception. This is the east study room close to the inner house and has never been used.

Mrs. Yuan opened the lock and pushed open the door. Cao Nai saw that the layout inside was very elegant and seemed to be no one living there. It was much better than the original study room, so he immediately went back and moved the bedding and other items over.

After a while of busyness, he took out a handkerchief and a sweat towel and wanted to give it to Mrs. Yuan, "I can't respect you, and I'll show my intentions."

Sister Yuan refused again and again, Cao Nai said, "If you don't accept it, you will not take care of me."

Seeing this, Mrs. Yuan had to say, "I will accept the handkerchief. Why are you, a child, spending money indiscriminately? Such a good sweat towel, why would you give it to Sister Qing."

"Isn't this good? Who knows the future?" Cai Nai said deliberately.

Mrs. Yuan smiled and said, "Look at the point where the wife means to fulfill her wishes. When she asks everyone for their opinions, I must agree. Her mother is my good sister, so this matter will be accomplished."

Cai Nai said: "Who knows what Sister Qing is thinking? She doesn't even want to say something to me."

Sister Yuan smiled. She originally planned to share the worries for Yuan and admire Cao Nai. Jing'er is also her niece. How could such a couple not work hard to achieve success? Besides, Cao Nai is a servant of the Xu family, and matching young people does not violate family rules.
