Chapter 291

Cai Jin expected that she would go to pick up the chess game, but that was the case.

She sat down by the bed and looked at the chess game halfway down. She couldn't help but be very surprised - it's too critical, isn't it?

Such a critical moment can get up and leave, this must be out of what deep and thick fatherly love?

No wonder Mr. Xu couldn't help swearing.

Cai Jinqi's skill has always been not weak. After a game, they didn't feel happy, so there was another game.

Xu Yun thought about how to settle the gap. Cai Jin quietly raised his eyes and looked at him.

Mr. Xu will not shave for another ten and a half months

However, in addition, it is said that they will bathe once a day. In terms of details, people are lazy, but fortunately they are not sloppy.

And when painting and playing chess, he is serious and focused, which is different from his usual unreliable appearance.

Recently, she even couldn't help thinking, is Mr. Xu hiding his real self because he has something unusual in his heart?

It's just that after hiding for a long time, I have to forget what I should have looked like.

Aware of her sight, Xu Yun sat down and looked at her: "what are you looking at?"

What do you think you've been staring at his beard? Can't you envy him for his thick beard?

"I'm just thinking, now that the weather is warm, when can Mr. Xu leave this quilt." Cai Jin said seriously: "when I passed the garden in the front yard today, I saw many flowers blooming and the scenery is quite good. Mr. Xu may also go to bask in the sun and enjoy the scenery."

Xu Yun said carelessly, "I'm tired of seeing flowers and grass..."

"But the flowers don't bloom the same every year. When Mr. Xu looks carefully, he will know that he is not bored at all." Cai Jinbian said.

Xu Yun smiled noncommittally: "I'm not as elegant as you young people..."

Seeing that he couldn't persuade him, Cai Jin sighed in a low voice and said, "yes, old and stubborn."

Xu Yun didn't bother to pay attention to it, but thought about how to play chess.

……

On the other hand, Xu Jin, who was forced to go out to visit friends, just came to the backyard of Beijing yamen with two "boys".

Ji Dong is having a headache over the case of the flower picker these days. There is such a rampant thing at the foot of the emperor. The thief's style can be called to rub the court's face on the ground. His majesty is very unhappy about this. He has been ordered to solve the case within half a month.

At that time, listening to this and thinking about the only clue of the case, adult Ji was desperate.

However, the good news is that Jishi Wei is also secretly investigating the matter under orders - it's not that Jishi Wei's joining has given him much confidence, but that someone is desperate with him, at least not alone.

"Come, come, what else..."

Invite your friends into the hall and Ji Dong sighs.

It's hard for him to say that he didn't leave anyone to eat when he brought something - what about a good confidant and friend? Isn't that a mess for him?

"You can't do without something..." Xu Jin whispered to his friend, "if the two children I'm taking today don't mention something, I'm afraid they don't act like enough..."

Doesn't look like you. Can't you use props?

Ji Dong listened to the word "child", his eyes changed and turned to look at it.

"This..."

……

Half an hour later, Xu Jin left the Yamen with the little boy.

When they came here, they brought something and drove two cars. At this time, Xu Mingyi and Cui Yunqing took the rudimentary one behind them.

There was no one else in the car. Xu Mingyi suggested, "from today on, I'll let ah Zhu accompany my cousin for some time until the flower picker is caught."

Just now in the yamen, I heard Lord Ji say something about the thief. Cousin Qing must be afraid more or less.

Moreover, such people are unpredictable. It's not easy to guess with the thinking of normal people. If they lost their hand last time, maybe they will go again for the second time to find face.

"I appreciate my cousin's kindness, but now Beijing is restless everywhere. If ah Zhu goes to me, isn't it around my cousin..." Cui Yunqing said, and his voice slowly decreased.

She wanted to say that when ah Zhu went to her, there was no one around her cousin, so it was dangerous.

But on second thought, which thief dares to break into the town government?

You have to look carefully before you go. Are the four big characters on the plaque on the door of the house "the town government" or "there is no return"?

I'm afraid as soon as the front foot steps in, the next knife will be put on the neck, right?

"Cousin, don't worry about me." Xu Mingyi said with a smile, "I'm looking forward to him coming -"

If this person bumps into her hand, she plans to scrap the other person's remaining arm. After all, she pays attention to good luck, which is the so-called good things in pairs.

Cousin is clearly laughing, and her smile is also very good-looking, but Cui Yunqing feels cold on her back for no reason.

The carriage drove slowly. When it passed a narrow road, it stopped for a moment and gave way to an official sedan.

Xu Mingyi glanced casually through the window and saw that the car curtain was a red tweed Wai - a regulation that only a senior official can have.

Not far away is Mingkang square.

The person who wants to come to this sedan chair should be Xia Tingzhen.

The soft sedan was indeed carried all the way into Mingkang square and landed steadily in front of Xiafu.

Xia Tingzhen stepped down from the sedan chair and went back to the inner courtyard instead of going directly to the outer study as usual.

When he returned to the courtyard, Xue was coaxing his little grandson in the inner room——

"Good, good... It's still like this. It hasn't changed at all..."

Xia Tingzhen wanted to frown when she listened to her wife coax her child patiently.

This is han'er's and LV's children. It's usually the most appropriate for them to grow up in obscurity, but it's just that his wife put the child directly beside him and even quarreled with him for this. It's crazy.

He had no intention of competing with a mad woman, so he seldom set foot in the yard now.

I came here today because I have something to tell you.

Xia Tingzhen sat down in the hall and asked the youngest daughter to come over.

"Father, mother."

Xia Xi saluted her parents sitting there, with a clever and smooth look and tone.

Although she is not quiet and timid, she has been most afraid of her father since she was a child. Especially after the second brother, the father and mother no longer respect each other as usual, and even very stiff. In this case, the father treats her more severely. Although she has no taste in her heart, she can only pretend to be more clever on her face.

But why did my father suddenly come to her today?

Is there anything that my father needs to tell her in person?

But recently, she has clearly followed the rules at home, except that she was angry and hurt a servant girl's face a few days ago - but her father never bothered about such small things.

Look at my father's face, there seems to be no sign of anger, so it shouldn't be a bad thing?

Xia Xi secretly analyzed it in her heart.
