"It turns out that she lives in a side hall, so I'm relieved. Kang Liuliu knows Cao Mansion well, and the side hall is separated by two courtyards from Cao Jingshan's room, so there are not many opportunities for the two of them to meet.
In the end, she chose a room close to Cao Jingshan in the main hall, which could be close to the water and observe the correspondence between Ke Lei and Cao Jingshan. If Kerey wants to find Cao Jingshan, he must pass by his room.
At dinnertime, Ke Lei was called to dinner, and in addition to Cao Jingshan, Kang Liuliu, Tong Mu, and two middle-aged people she had never seen before.
"Miss Ke is here, sit down. A middle-aged woman saw her coming and hurriedly got up and invited her to take a seat. The years had carved marks on her face, and there were calluses on her hands, but the smile on her face, which she knew at first glance was a kind person, reminded Corey of her long-separated mother.
"Thanks, you sit too!" Korrey took her hand and sat beside her, feeling kindness in her smiling eyes.
"Miss Ke is polite, I have been in the Cao Mansion for nearly thirty years, and I have been favored by the eldest young master, so I didn't treat me as an outsider, so I had to eat at the table. Everyone calls me Guo Niang, if you have anything in the future, just look for me Guo Niang. Guo Niang took her hand and kept talking.
"Okay, the first time Miss Ke had dinner with everyone, you talked a lot!" It was a middle-aged man with a short beard who spoke, and the beard on his mouth shook when he spoke, but it was also a little funny, he pointed to Guo Niang and smiled: "Miss Ke, I am Uncle Li, I have a lot more time in Cao Mansion than her, if there is something in the future, talk to Uncle Li, don't be polite!"
"Guo Niang, Uncle Li, thank you, just call me Rey in the future. Although it was the first time they met, just a few words made Kerey feel extremely warm, she looked at Cao Jingshan, but saw that he was still the same iceberg appearance, and couldn't help but think to herself: "The person who can let the next person eat at the table together shouldn't be like this, right?"
"The little master is here!" the sound of a delicate face and a string of crisp bells sounded outside the door, and then a boy was seen running in.
"Guo Niang!" As soon as the boy came in, he drilled into Guo Niang's arms and forced the candy in his hand into her mouth, causing her to laugh dotingly.
He looked at it stunned for a while, then took out a piece of candy from his pocket and handed it to Corey silently, looking at her with big eyes.
"It's you!" "How could the boy not remember that it was the boy who followed her back to the inn, and she reached out to catch the candy in surprise, but as soon as her hand reached over, the boy took the candy back and asked in a milky voice, "What about the cat?"
"Cat?" Corey was tricked, crying and laughing, it turned out that what he wanted was Coke!
"The cat has gone to play, and when it comes back, I'll take him to play with you, okay?" When Correy saw him again, he thought it was very cute, and he was almost cute.
"Okay!" the boy smiled, gave the candy to Kerey, leaned into her arms, and said in a tender voice: "Sister, my name is Cao **, you will often play with me in the future." ā
Corey agreed, pinching his chubby little face, this kid felt much cuter than last time.
Cao ** climbed down from her, ran to Cao Jingshan's side, climbed into the chair by himself, grabbed the spoon and tilted his head to ask Cao Jingshan for instructions: "Big brother, can I eat?"
Cao Jingshan touched his head and nodded, although his face was still indifferent, the tenderness and doting in his eyes did not escape Ke Leiyi's eyes.
"**, look, the gift that Sister Liu Liu brought you, your favorite. Kang Liuliu handed a wooden man who could swing to Cao ** and shook it.
"Wooden people?" Cao ** just glanced at it and continued to eat, unmoved: "I have many wooden people, and my brother made it for me, which is much better than yours." ā
When Kang Liuliu heard this, he frowned unhappily, this kid has never given himself face!
"The county lord has a heart, the wooden man in the ** box can't be stuffed, the county lord should take it back. Cao Jingshan barely squeezed out a smile at her, but he didn't accept the gift.
Kang Liuliu embarrassedly took the wooden man back, and glared at Korey viciously.
"What's the matter with me?" Innocent was slapped in the eye, Ke Lei Yi reluctantly buried his head in eating, it seems that this jade lord is not doing well in Cao Mansion.
After dinner, Cao ** stayed by Ke Leiyi's side, and Kang Liuliu naturally stuck to Cao Jingshan.
"Rey, the eldest young master asked you to go over!" Guo Niang came over to pass the word, and wanted to take Cao ** away, but he insisted on following.
"What is he looking for me for?" Corey suddenly felt apprehensive, but the person had to bow his head under the eaves, and the master summoned him, so he naturally still had to go.
"It turns out that his room is so far away from me!" Guo Niang led the way, winding and turning along the way, no wonder I couldn't find it one night, and when I first entered Cao's Mansion, it was like entering a maze.
"Guo Niang, where is that direction?" With memory, Kerey pointed in the direction of the rockery that night.
"Hey!" Guo Niang looked at her hand, and hurriedly patted her fingers in fright, and saw that no one dared to whisper: "Rey, you have just arrived in Caofu, but don't ask around, and don't run around, if the eldest young master knows, the consequences will be unimaginable." In the past, there were ignorant subordinates who ran in, and were later executed alive by the eldest young master!"
"Executed!?" A chill suddenly rose behind Ke Leiyi, Cao Jingshan was so ruthless? So did he know where Cao Shanming's soul was?
Guo Niang nodded in a panic and motioned for her to stop talking.
Cao ** took advantage of the fact that the fruit girl in front of her was not paying attention, pulled down Ke Leiyi's body, and whispered in her ear: "It's the second brother who is inside." ā
"How do you know?" asked Corey in surprise.
"I've snuck in. Cao ** raised his little head proudly, "But the second brother has been asleep." ā
Corey nodded insightfully and looked in that direction, the doubts in his heart much heavier.
"It's here. Guo Niang pushed open the door, the room was large, but empty, except for the necessary tables and chairs, there was no extra decoration, if it weren't for the tables and chairs were polished, reflecting the shadow of money, this room would definitely look shabby.
"Young Master, Miss Rey is here. With a report from Guo Niang, the quiet room finally made some movement, and the sound came from behind a partition.
"Shhhhhh
