After dinner, Cao Jun quickly took over the defensive command of Gaofu's inner house.

In fact, there were only seven or eight servants under him.

Because it is an inner house, except for Master Gao, all the women who live in it are dependents.

Even if it was a servant, it was inconvenient to enter it, and it was only scattered around the inner house by Cao Jun, playing a role of warning and errands.

He himself fell directly on the roof, a pot of wine, a plate of peanuts, facing the half of the crescent moon, drinking alone.

It's just that his eyes swept over the Gao Mansion from time to time, taking in all the clues in the Gao Mansion.

Gaofu covers an area of more than 10 acres in total, which is divided into a front yard, a middle courtyard (main house) and a back yard.

The front yard was inhabited by servants and guards and butlers, and the main house was a place where the Gao Mansion held meetings, among which Master Gao's study and meeting room were also among them.

The backyard is the inner house.

In addition to the female dependents, there are also some maids and old mothers who serve the ladies closely.

Cao Jun was on the roof of the main house in Gaofu at the moment.

The terrain here is the highest, so you can take the whole picture.

Cao Jun rested his head on the stone pillar on the roof, with tiles under his feet and the night sky above his head, holding a pot of turbid wine in his hand, pouring a sip from time to time, but he was thinking in his heart whether the flower-picking monster would come.

and what has changed?

It's a pity that Nanshan Daoren is not around, otherwise it would be better to consult him than to speculate by himself.

The night quietly envelops Huangshan County.

The front yard of Gaofu is still brightly lit.

And half of the houses in the inner house are also lit up.

According to Cao Jun's previous instructions, there is no need to be nervous, let them do everything as usual, but the doors and windows should be closed tighter, even so, it still makes people panic.

Everyone knows that the flower thieves in Huangshan County may be eyeing Gaofu.

There are even many female relatives who go back to their rooms early to rest after dinner.

The world here is still the Ming Dynasty, under the rule of feudal thought, the requirements for women's names are particularly strict, if it is the happy woman, after being patronized by the flower thief, it is also a big loss, not to mention the female dependents of a large family.

I'm afraid that when the time comes, I can only die with my full name, otherwise it will affect the family's reputation.

Thinking of this, Cao Jun's mind slid past Miss Gaofu's graceful figure again.

"It would be a pity for such a woman to fall into the hands of a flower thief."

Even if he didn't reach a consensus with Master Gaofu, if he met him, he would definitely take care of it.

Maybe it was the alcohol that played a role, Cao Jun's heart gradually became hot, and he couldn't help but compare Miaoguanren's clever mouth with Miss Gaofu, and his breathing became much heavier for a while.

He was single in his previous life, and he also talked to a girlfriend in college, so he didn't know much about women.

In the three worlds he has experienced, Pan Jinlian's charm, Miaoguanren's dignity and temperament, and the outstanding appearance of this Miss Gaofu have left a deep impression on him.

What are the differences between the latter and the first two?

That's the unique delicacy of a cardamom girl and the aura of a big family.

Cao Jun shook his head and quickly dispelled these thoughts.

It's impossible to be with this Miss Gaofu, and it's in vain to think about it.

Just as Cao Jun was in a reverie, a quarrel suddenly came from outside the gatehouse in the front yard.

Cao Jun immediately rolled over from the roof.

"Go and see, what's going on outside?"

Immediately, two minions with sticks emerged from the shadows, one of them remained where he was, and the other ran quickly outside, bringing back the message in a short time.

"Master Yucao, it's a group of people from the county government who are arguing with the housekeeper over labor fees, and it has been dealt with now."

"Labor costs?"

Cao Jun was stunned, and quickly understood.

Gaofu is the largest household in Huangshan County, naturally there is no shortage of money, although it can be transferred from the county government to arrest the fast nursing home, but the hard money that should be given will definitely not be less.

He would definitely not anger Xing Zhutou of the county government in such a trivial matter.

In this way, after he promised Gaofu, he made this group of people unemployed?

Oh no, I should say that I lost the opportunity to make extra money.

"Hehe......"

Cao Jun sneered twice, and when Xing Zhutou returned, there would be surprises waiting for him, so he was not in a hurry.

"If there is any movement, you can call me directly, if I am too far away or can't find me, you can raise the fire as a signal, draw two circles in the air, and I will come to meet you as soon as I see it."

After Cao Jun gave an order, he jumped and returned to the roof.

"Yes!"

The two servants below followed Cao Jun's figure, revealing a look of envy and admiration.

It is the dream of many men to fly the eaves and walk the rivers and lakes, and I have only heard of these masters who have come and gone without a trace in the storytelling before, but I didn't expect that there is one in front of me at this moment.

If you can learn a trick and a half, won't you be able to be a hero in the future?

Cao Jun ignored the thoughts of these servants, and after he returned to the roof, he looked around again, and suddenly looked at the attic where Miss Gao was.

The lights were already lit in the room, and outside the papier-mâché doors and windows, one or two graceful girls flashed from time to time.

In addition to Miss Gao, there should be a personal maid in the room.

Cao Jun's eyes rolled, and he suddenly jumped along the courtyard wall with the wine jug to the roof of the small attic of the inner house.

"If the other party comes to Gaofu, the target is this Miss Gao, this time she is closer, and she can focus on taking care of it."

After thinking about it like this, Cao Jun found a roof and sat down with peace of mind.

The night was getting darker.

Outside the street of Gaofu, there was a faint sound of a husband beating a watchman.

And the front yard of Gaofu, which had been busy for a day, gradually quieted down.

At this time, most of the people who were still walking in the front yard were the guards and porters who were on duty at night.

Cao Jun blew a breath boringly, and secretly estimated the time in his heart, it was about 19~21 o'clock, if in the previous life, the street would have been bustling with people coming and going, or accompanying his family to shop and watch movies, or inviting friends to eat food stalls on the street, which was as calm as now.

In ancient times, the common people were extremely lacking in spiritual entertainment, and after dark, they could only close the door and turn off the lights and go to bed to make a man.

Gaofu, on the other hand, was shrouded in the shadow of a flower thief, and lost its interest in entertainment.

Cao Jun thought about it for a while, and was attracted by a noise from the front yard.

He returned to the main house from the roof of the inner house, this time without waiting for Cao Jun's orders, a servant had already brought back the information, "Master Cao, there is a scholar who is begging for accommodation outside, and after the gatekeeper tells the housekeeper, he plans to arrange it in the wing room in the front yard, and I have come to inform the master." ”

"Scholar?"

Cao Jun's eyebrows suddenly raised, "In the past few days, the whole mansion will be under martial law at night, why would you take in a scholar?" ”

The servant may have received a reminder from the butler, and replied unhurriedly: "Master Cao, I have always been a scholar in Gaofu, and I have always made good connections, and I have always given preferential treatment to scholars with meritorious reputations, but I just asked for a night's stay, and I arranged it in the front yard, so it should not be in the way. ”

The family is the master's family, he was just invited to work, and the master's family agreed, what else does he, a worker, have to say?

Letting a servant take the initiative to inform him is already a sign of respect for himself.

Cao Jun thought about it, directly abandoned the servants, and returned to the roof of the main house in the middle courtyard, just in time to see that in the corridor in the front yard, a subordinate carrying an oil lamp led a man who looked like a scholar to shuttle inside.

Cao Jun just glanced at it, and quickly withdrew his gaze.

If the flower thief finds Gaofu today, it will be exactly as he wants.

Otherwise, three days later, the Gao Mansion sent someone to invite him, and it would be bad to delay it, and it would not be good to refuse at that time, and it would be even worse to accept it.

After such a delay, the front yard was completely quiet.

Occasionally, a few yawns can be heard from servants on duty on the ground.

Cao Jun directly pillowed his hands, lay on his back on the roof, and closed his eyes into a half-asleep and half-awake state of steady.

In a side room in the front yard, the scholar who had been staying overnight suddenly walked out of the room.

He stood in the shadows outside the door, listened for a moment with his eyes closed, a wicked smile flashing at the corner of his mouth, and he knew the position of the servants arranged by the Gao Mansion to be on duty at night.

To his surprise, there was a person on the roof.

Could it be that this is a hidden pile? Or is it a master invited from the people?
