But I'm a male fox

Because Li Cheng still knew too little about Cao Yueying, it was difficult for Li Cheng to speculate too much.

After talking for a while, Cao Yueying summoned the maid and led Li Cheng to the arranged room, while she and Cai He left first.

Li Cheng was led into a side courtyard. There were mountains and water outside the door. Inside the house, there were all kinds of beds, desks, pens, inks, papers and inkstones, and there was a small brass-colored incense burner in the corner.

In terms of refinement, it is much better than an inn. Although the area is not as large as the Dongfu in Shiwan Dashan, it is a prosperous area in the capital after all, and the rent is still zero.

"Sir, if you have anything to do, you can call me anytime."

"I have a question right now..."

Li Cheng stopped the maid who was about to leave, and asked about Xiao Wan'er.

"Miss Xiao and Mrs. Xiao are big celebrities in the capital now..."

While the maid chatted excitedly, Li Cheng had a general understanding of Xiao Wan'er's actions in the past few months.

It turned out that the boudoir friend Xiao Yumei had mentioned at the beginning was actually the wife of an uncle of Cao Yueying.

After the mother and daughter came to the capital, they settled down smoothly with his help, and with the support of Cao's family, they quickly put the improved wine-making method into practical use and made a lot of money.

Later, without any inspiration from others, Xiao Yumei discovered that perfume can be extracted in a similar way to distilled wine!

Needless to say, I made more money this time.

Xiao Yumei has become famous since then for being able to withdraw a lot of money from men's pockets and women's pockets at the same time.

And Xiao Wan'er's battle for fame came from Guozixue, which was established by the imperial court and was specially responsible for educating the children of aristocratic families. It not only taught classics and history, but also taught martial arts.

Not long after Xiao Wan'er came to the capital, she entered Guozixue, and then in a routine martial arts competition, she managed to achieve a one-vs-three success, which shocked all the onlookers including the teacher.

Cao Yueying met Xiao Wan'er in the Guozi School. Although the two had known each other for a short time, they became confidantes of each other, and Xiao Wan'er often visited Cao's mansion from then on.

That's why Li Cheng met her today.

After listening to the maid's narration, Li Cheng couldn't help but slap his mouth.

The mother and daughter left Feiyun Manor, it was really the right time to leave!

Finally, Li Cheng asked the general layout of the Cao Mansion from the maid again, intending to familiarize himself with the terrain.

As soon as he went out, he met two people dressed as scribes, talking under an apricot tree.

Those two people also saw Li Cheng, and the one with square face, wide nose and plain face was the first to salute with a smile, "Your Excellency is Brother Li Youxin?"

"Exactly."

"Haha, I just heard that the lord has found a new colleague, and unexpectedly I met him here." After the man finished speaking, he introduced himself and his companion.

"I'm Liu Kai, this is Wei Tong, we are also the disciples of Cao's residence just like you."

"Nice to meet you."

Since they are colleagues, Li Cheng is also willing to chat a few more words, but soon, something went wrong.

Li Cheng is not a serious scholar!

Since time-traveling, he has mostly worked in the marketplace as a storyteller, not to mention citing scriptures, and his language habits are still quite quack.

The guests in the restaurant like this taste.

But when compared with Liu Kai and Weitong, there is an immediate difference.

Liu Kai has a gentle temperament, which is okay. Wei Tong frowned halfway through the conversation, but asked, "Where did Brother Li go to school? And did he have a reputation as a scholar?"

He himself is a scholar, so when he asks, he automatically uses the scholar as the threshold. If he is a juren, then he has to ask my dear friend in which year he was elected.

Li Cheng replied according to the fabricated personality: "I used to study with my father when I was young, but I never passed the exam for fame. To be honest, I am not even a child. I have been living as a storyteller before."

As soon as these words came out, Wei Tong's eyes revealed contempt without any concealment.

"Storytellers and singers? Huh."

Ha ha you big head ghost!

..................

Chapter 120 Four, She Really Has Me in Her Heart

Ha ha you big head ghost!

Seeing that Wei Tong's nostrils were upturned, as if he looked down on him, Li Cheng directly rolled his eyes in return.

In the world of Xianxia, ​​the imperial examination is not so remarkable.

"you!"

Seeing this, Wei Tong's face was a little stiff, and after staring at Li Cheng's face for a while, he shook his sleeves and said, "My lord, why did you call people like you to be his staff? Seductive..."

"Brother Wei!"

Liu Kai opened his mouth first and Li Cheng stopped Wei Tong from continuing, and then said: "You and I should serve the lord as our main priority, how can we have a quarrel with each other?"

"I'm just afraid that Mr. Li will make the lord addicted to pleasure from now on, and he will not think about making progress..."

After Weitong finished speaking, he fell silent.That being the case, Li Cheng was too lazy to bother, and left in another direction alone.

The words are not speculative, and they are scattered.

When he had wandered about half of the courtyard and the sun was about to set, a maid came to him and said that Cao Yueying had arranged another banquet.

This dinner is definitely not for eating, but for Li Cheng to get to know other people in the mansion, so even if Li Cheng is not hungry at all, he is willing to go.

Cao Yueying set up a large table in the hall, she herself sat at the head, Cai He was beside her, and the rest, including Li Cheng, a total of five people sat around.

The five of them were all Cao Yueying's disciples. Apart from Li Cheng, Liu Kai and Wei Tong, there was also an old man and a young girl. The old man was an apricot grove master, and the young girl was an eighth-rank immortal cultivator with some heretical inheritance.

Under Cao Yueying's guidance, everyone introduced and praised each other, so they all knew each other.

It's just that in speech and demeanor, everyone except Liu Kai seems to be a little contemptuous of Mr. Li Cheng's storyteller's background.

Weitong, in particular, barely concealed his dissatisfaction, while Li Cheng smiled at him—after all, Miss Cao was at the top, and it was necessary to show face at such a time.

After drinking for three rounds, Cao Yueying narrowed her eyes to scan the expressions of the crowd, and suddenly recited the poem Linjiang Xian.

"Rolling Yangtze River eastward..."

As soon as the words came out, the four guests except Li Cheng showed surprise, and Liu Kai even served the wine and said: "Good words! Good words! Generous and tragic, full of soul-stirring, but in the end it is free and easy, my lord deserves this." Good words, when it comes to light!"

"I didn't write it, but Mr. Li wrote it."

Cao Yueying smiled, and took the lead to toast Li Cheng with a glass of wine, and also took the initiative to talk about the funny story of him catching the thief with oil flowers.

Everyone immediately complimented Li Cheng, and Wei Weitong's face became even uglier.

Late at night, the banquet ended and everyone dispersed.

Cao Yueying was walking in the courtyard, Cai He followed beside her and said, "At the banquet today, Mr. Wei seems to dislike Mr. Li very much."

"Wei Tong came from a poor family, and he studied poetry and books hard since he was a child. It's normal for him to be at odds with Li Youxin, who came from a lowly background. I guess they met by chance before the banquet. I'm afraid there is still a verbal dispute."

"Miss, shall we do something?"

"Of course, but not too directly."

Cao Yueying looked at the bright moon in the sky, and said calmly: "I believe I see people with eyes, the two of them just need a chance."

At this moment, the fox that Miss Cao said needs a chance is ready to go.

Others don't understand what Xiao Wan'er knocked on the head three times means, but Li Cheng, the famous porter, understands it all too well.

Isn't it just to ask him to find someone in the middle of the night!

Finally, when the time came, Li Cheng quietly opened the door, and walked towards the practice room relying on the memory of wandering around during the day.

Because he didn't know if Cao Yueying had arranged anything at home, he didn't dare to use spells, so he just leaned down and used the low flowers to cover up his figure.

Anyway, he is sensitive to five senses and has a strong figure, so he will usually not be discovered.

But just a few steps away from the door, when he was going around a rockery, his forehead suddenly bumped into something soft and unknown...

Dayton ↗ Dayton ↗ (sound effect~)

With a jolt all over his body, he immediately took two steps back, straightened his waist, and raised his head.

Xiao Wan'er and the blushing Xiao Wan'er looked at each other behind the rockery.

For a time, the atmosphere was a little awkward.

Li Cheng touched the forehead that had just crashed into the gap between the indescribable objects, and took the lead to break the silence: "Wan'er?"

Xiao Wan'er let out a breath, regained her composure, and said lightly, "Hmph, aren't you called Miss Xiao?"

"There was another reason before. Didn't I come here to explain to you? By the way, didn't I say I'll go to you at midnight? Why did you come out by yourself?"

Facing Li Cheng's question, Xiao Wan'er hesitated.

During the day, the girl was actually a little angry.

When this fox came to the capital, he didn't tell her at all, and even took refuge in another woman with big breasts, standing next to her and calling her Miss Xiao!

Ah this...

So she angrily knocked on the fox's head, on the one hand to ask Li Cheng to explain to her, and on the other hand, she wanted to vent her anger.

But toward midnight, her anger subsided and she began to regret it.

She was afraid that if Li Cheng really had to hide his name because of something important, would he be making trouble by doing so?

Besides, Sister Cao's mansion is different from other places, so it's not something you can just break into. Li Cheng sneaked out for himself, what if he was accidentally caught?

He is a seventh-rank monster, and it must be very hard and dangerous to come to the capital...

If the identity is exposed, it will fall into the hands of Sister Cao, the deputy commander of the night patrol department...

No, really don't worry!

Or go find him yourself!It just so happens that I am more familiar with this place...

So, the girl left the practice room, sneaked out, and ran into Li Cheng by accident.

Of course, Xiao Wan'er thought so, saying that it was naturally impossible to say that.

"I... I'm not afraid that you, a fox, are too stupid to find your way!"

"So, are you worried about me?"

Xiao Wan'er pursed her lips lightly, but did not reply immediately.

Seeing the girl's appearance, Li Cheng was suddenly happy.

Chen Youxi, Liu Shishi and Dugu Zhi couldn't see this kind of reaction!

"Thank you." Li Cheng blinked and said, "It's a bit cold here, and it's not suitable for standing for a long time, so...would you like to come in with me?"

"..."

"I have a lot to say to you."

"......Um."

Creaking, the door opened and closed.

While the candlelight was flickering, one person and one fox sat on the couch.

Li Cheng smiled and explained the purpose of the capital in the future, and then said: "So, I came to steal things, and I didn't go to you immediately, because I was afraid of hurting you."

"I'm not afraid......"

"Don't forget, there is your mother."

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Wan'er's momentum weakened for a moment.

But the girl rolled her eyes, and said again: "But you are now Sister Cao's retainer, if you are arrested, you will still hurt Sister Cao!"

Li Cheng grinned.

Well this...

The main reason is that I didn't have friendship with her before, and I didn't know that you were her friend!

"So~" Xiao Wan'er said with a smile: "The best way is for me to help you as much as possible so that you can successfully steal the pair of antlers, so as not to hurt others!"

You girl, wanting to break the king's law if nothing happened, you are really audacious!

However, for this reason, Li Cheng didn't think about how to refute it.
