Now that everything has been said, Jialan needs to respond no matter what.
Of course, he could actually just laugh it off like Xiang Ling's topic just now, but such a perfunctory approach would undoubtedly betray Qingwen's sincerity and go against Jia Lan's original intention.
So after thinking about it, Jia Lan opened his mouth and said to Qingwen: "Look at me, Xie Yuan, seems to be a good enough person, but you don't know that the Jia family is not peaceful now."
Qingwen was surprised: "How could it be? Isn't the situation in the house just right now? The empress has just been promoted, and Mr. Zheng has also been promoted. No matter how bad things go, you can still maintain stability for a while. Why is there so much peace?"
"That's not bad." Jia Lan heard the key points in Qingwen's words and couldn't help but praise her.
Accompanying Jia Lan to travel around, Qingwen's horizons have also broadened a lot, and her perspective on things is different from many people in the house.
"The word "stability" seems to be real, but in fact it is very ethereal. For a person like the eldest brother, there will be joy and sorrow, let alone the Jia family with a big business?"
"You mean, someone is targeting us?"
Jia Lan's eyes moved, he glanced at a certain place, and then said: "It's not necessarily a target, but the world is in turmoil, disasters are everywhere, and the current situation is like this. It is not easy for the Jia family to be alone. Don't look at us.
It seems to be detached from the world, but when it is time to enter the game, you still have to enter the game."
Thinking of what she saw along the way, Qingwen nodded, but she was still very puzzled by Jialan's urgency: "That's it, the masters are responsible for everything, so Brother Lan, you don't need to push yourself too hard.
Be careful that working too hard may damage your health.
The younger generation in the house, Brother Ying is not yet one year old, and Brother Huan is said to be promising, but he is still young, and Mr. Bao is careless, so I will have to rely on you in the future."
Qingwen had heard that Jia Lan's father, Jia Zhu, was in bad health due to excessive exercise, so when she saw Jia Lan working so hard, she paid special attention to it.
Jia Lan burst into laughter and reminded kindly: "What are you relying on me for? You are not allowed to say this kind of thing again in the future. It is taboo for such words to fall into the ears of caring people."
Qingwen stuck out her tongue and responded obediently: "Oh."
Jia Lan's eyes moved: "Second Uncle Bao seems to be unruly, but he is a blessed man and has a good temper. If he hires a sister-in-law with both ability and political integrity, he will be safe for the rest of his life."
"That's true. Mr. Bao lacks nothing but a virtuous wife." Qingwen nodded her head in agreement.
Anyone who is not blind knows that Jia Baoyu will be a rich and idle man in this life. If he wants to have any future, he can only look at his future wife.
After thinking about it, Qingwen raised the corner of her mouth slightly and turned to look at Jia Lan: "Sir, look, does the old lady prefer Miss Yibao in the end? Or Miss Yun?"
"Ah?" Jia Lan was startled for a moment. At this time, he heard a gasp of air coming from somewhere. It was soft and almost inaudible. Qingwen didn't notice it. Only Jia Lan could do it with his own spiritual sense.
Perceived.
Jia Lan looked at Qingwen with a wry smile: "How could I know?"
Qingwen obviously didn't believe it: "Based on what you said just now, Master, you must have thought about this matter." She glanced around, "Since there is no one around, just tell me, at least it will make me feel confident." Qingwen looked over with something cunning in her eyes.
"This..." Jia Lan hesitated for a moment, but soon he said with relief: "Since you want to listen, let me tell you that both Aunt Baochai and Aunt Xiangyun are actually excellent candidates, but if
You ask me which one I prefer..."
He pondered for a moment, showing a thoughtful expression.
From the side, the sound of heavy breathing came again.
"I choose Aunt Xiangyun."
Qingwen looked very surprised: "How could it be? Haven't you always admired Miss Bao so much?"
Jia Lan shook his head and said with a smile: "There is no conflict between the two."
"Is it possible?" Qingwen pretended to be suddenly enlightened and pointed at the tip of Jia Lan's nose: "Brother Lan, what do you think of Miss Bao?!"
Before the stunned Jia Lan could react, Qingwen giggled and ran forward with the lantern in her hand.
Seeing her naughty expression, Jia Lan smiled and followed her briskly.
At the end of the day, his eyes pretended to glance towards somewhere inadvertently.
Then look back.
"You should walk slowly and don't fall!"
What responded to Jia Lan was Qingwen's highly recognizable laughter.
After a long time, until the lantern shining on Qingwen and Jialan could no longer be seen, several figures walked out of the woods not far away.
One of them took a long breath and was frightened for a while: "Girl, that glance just now by Brother Lang was staring at me as if he saw everything through! It's so scary. Is this the person after Wenquxing came to earth?"<
/p>
It turns out that the people in the forest are Xue Baochai and her maids Yinger and Wen Xing who are returning to Hengwuyuan.
Baochai made a serious face: "I asked you not to eavesdrop, now people can see you clearly."
Wen Xing cried sadly, "Girl, I know I was wrong, wasn't I just curious for a moment... I thought the lantern was still in Sister Ying'er's hand, it was so dark, how could I have imagined that Brother Lan was so powerful?"
As she talked, she even scared herself to tears, "Girl, what should I do? I have offended Wen Quxing, am I going to be punished by God?"
Baochai couldn't help but laugh at this time: "Silly girl, how could Lan Geer see clearly that it's you from so far away?"
Wen Xing suddenly turned from sadness to joy: "Really?"
Ying'er held up a lantern and lectured: "You little girl is so ignorant. You actually listened to the corner of the wall. Don't do that next time!"
"I know I was wrong..."
The three of them walked to Hengwu Garden. Baochai told Wen Xing: "No matter whether you heard clearly or not what Brother Lan said just now, no one can tell it. Even if my mother asks, I can't tell you. I know."
What?"
Baochai said this very solemnly, and Wen Xing, who was still a little frightened, nodded obediently, and even Ying'er's original curiosity was dismissed.
"Girl, are you okay?" Ying'er looked at Baochai's face carefully and asked tentatively.
Baochai didn't speak, shook his head calmly towards his maid, and just walked slowly.
In fact, her heart is not as peaceful as it seems.
Although it was an inadvertent eavesdropping, Baochai was a little concerned about what Jia Lan just said.
She frowned slightly, with a bit of worry on her face, and her big, smart eyes flashed, quiet and far-reaching.
……
In a deep mansion somewhere in Shenjing.
"The people over there have moved?" A man in rich clothes stood behind the desk. After listening to the report from his subordinates, he seemed a little surprised. He even forgot to put down the brush in his hand.
