Jian Xilai also noticed something was wrong with Jian Qingxuan and asked, "Xuan'er, are you unhappy? Why do you look so worried?"
"ah?"
Jian Qingxuan finally came back to his senses, shook his head hurriedly and said: "No."
"Your eyes are straight, and you still say you haven't?" Jian Xilai blinked at Jian Qingxuan, "Are you thinking about a young man from some family?"
With a loving look on his face, he said with a smile: "I'm old enough now. Let me tell you which hero you like."
Jian Qingxuan suddenly blushed with embarrassment and said coquettishly: "Grandpa makes fun of me. How can I think of a young man?"
Jianxi came and said, "What's the shame? At your age, if you don't miss the young man, do you miss me, a bad old man, every day?"
"Yes, I just miss grandpa every day." Jian Qingxuan said: "Xuan'er will not marry, Xuan'er will always stay with grandpa."
Jian Xilai pointed at Jian Qingxuan and laughed loudly: "You girl, what are you talking about?"
Although he knew that his granddaughter could not stay with him forever, her words still made Jian Xilai very happy.
Jian Qingxuan asked: "Grandpa, where is the second grandpa? Why didn't you come over for dinner?"
Since Jian Xizhou came back, he would come over to eat with Jian Xizhou basically every day. The two brothers would have a drink and talk about things.
"Your second grandfather has something to do today." Jian Xilai said with a smile, "You miss him after not seeing him for a day?"
Jian Qingxuan smiled and said: "I have a surprise for Grandpa Second."
"Oh?" Jian Xi came and asked, "What's the surprise?"
Jian Qingxuan said: "I won't tell you."
Jian Xilai laughed loudly: "You still keep it a secret from your grandfather?"
Jian Qingxuan snorted.
She was planning to show off the restored Rubik's Cube in front of Jian Xizhou.
At the beginning, Jian Xizhou promised her that every time he recovered a Rubik's Cube, he would give her a gift from the barbarians.
Seeing Jian Qingxuan's distracted look, Jian Xi came and said, "Okay, if you don't have an appetite, don't force it. Go back and rest."
Jianxi came and said, "It's okay. I'll sit with you, Grandpa Yun, for a while longer. You can go back."
"Okay, then I'll go back first."
Jian Qingxuan stood up, saluted, and asked to leave.
Jian Yun, who was standing beside him, sent Jian Qingxuan out.
After Jian Yun returned, Jian Xilai pointed to the opposite seat where Jian Qingxuan had just been sitting and said, "Skinny man, sit down."
People in the northern Jedi are generally tall and burly, but Jian Yun has been an exception since he was a child. Jian Xilai has called him "skinny" since he was a child.
The two of them grew up together. They have been friends for many years and have a tacit understanding with each other. Of course, there is nothing to be polite about.
Jian Yun nodded and sat down opposite Jian Xilai. Immediately, a servant came forward and replaced Jian Yun with new tableware.
Jian Yunping dismissed the servant and filled the wine glasses for the two of them himself.
The two of them drank a glass of wine, and Jian Xilai casually asked, "What have Xuan'er been busy with these two days?"
Jian Yun said: "I'm not busy with anything, I'm just playing with the gifts that the second master gave her."
After saying that, Jian Yun suddenly remembered what happened to Xiao Bai, and continued: "By the way, the young lady asked me for a handyman to look after the warehouse in the outer courtyard. She wanted the handyman to go to the inner house to help her take care of the golden retriever, but I refused.
"
Jian Xilai raised his eyebrows: "How could she know the handyman from the outer courtyard?"
Jian Yun said: "I checked, it was Jin Maohuan who sneaked out and ran to the warehouse. For some reason, he was very close to the handyman, so the lady had the idea of letting the handyman feed Jin Maohuan. I refused.
Finally, the lady left the golden retriever in the warehouse for the handyman to take care of."
Jian Yun smiled and said: "Other than that, there hasn't been anything special happening around Miss recently, and I haven't seen any strangers."
"You left the golden retriever in the outer courtyard?" Jianxi came and said, "Why don't we just transfer that handyman to her courtyard? A mere handyman can't stir up any trouble."
Jian Yun said: "It's not that a handyman has the ability to cause trouble, but this hole cannot be opened. If this hole is opened for the young lady, and other people in the inner house also propose to stuff people into the inner house, I will not be able to do it."
I refused. If there are too many people who don’t know their character, it will be detrimental to the safety of the city lord’s palace.”
Jianxi came and said, "I just said casually, it's better for you to worry about these things."
Jian Yun said: "Although this is the rule of the City Lord's Mansion, the City Lord's Mansion is still the City Lord's Mansion. As long as the City Lord speaks, I will naturally obey it, but I have to check the details of that handyman first."
Jian Xilai shook his head: "If he really had ulterior motives, how could it be so easy for you to find out the real details? I'm afraid what he finally finds out is what he wants you to see."
Jian Yun filled Jian Xilai's wine glass: "The city lord is right."
Jian Xi came and said, "However, since we are close to Xuan'er, we still have to investigate."
"Don't worry, City Lord, I have already arranged manpower to investigate."
Jian Yun responded and continued: "If the city lord is worried that someone will approach the young lady again with ulterior motives, why not just deal with him directly to avoid future troubles?"
Jian Xilai sneered: "Even if he really has ulterior motives, are we still afraid that he will turn things upside down under our noses?"
He picked up the wine glass and threw it into his mouth, and said quietly: "This person sometimes has to suffer in order to grow up. We can't keep guarding her all the time. Now we can let her suffer some small losses within our control.
It would be better for her to suffer a big loss than if we are all gone."
After saying that, he added: "It's not just about suffering a loss, it's also about cheating and taking advantage. It's all the same."
Jian Yun suddenly understood, nodded and said: "City Lord, I understand, don't worry, I will keep an eye on it and won't let the young lady suffer a big loss."
Jian Xilai smiled: "Communicating with you will save you worries. It will be clear in just one point."
Jian Yun also smiled: "After all, we have a tacit understanding for so many years."
The two looked at each other, laughed, raised their glasses together, and drank the whole drink.
…
During dinner in the evening, Queer happily sat next to Chu Tianshu.
Seeing this, no one approached Chu Tianshu anymore.
Not long after, Wuhe also came over with rice.
He originally wanted to move closer to Chu Tianshu and Que'er, but Que'er gave him a sharp look, so he didn't dare to go forward and found a seat nearby.
Chu Tianshu took a few mouthfuls of rice and said in a low voice: "Que'er, you'll go to my place later."
Que'er nodded: "I'll go after dinner."
Chu Tianshu shook his head: "A little later, after everyone else has gone to bed."
"ah?"
Que'er looked at Chu Tianshu in astonishment, and her heart jumped like a deer.
Wuhe's ears twitched and he suddenly stared at Chu Tianshu.
"Is there any problem?" Chu Tianshu looked at Que'er and said, "If you don't want to, forget it, I won't force you."
