Chapter 112 Shocking (Part [-])
Ji Keran's expression was normal, and he smiled and said, "When I was admiring the flowers in the backyard yesterday, I dropped a piece of my favorite jade pendant. It was a birthday present from my father. After I went back, I couldn't find it anywhere in the yard, so I had to come to the backyard to touch it." Hit your luck."

Seeing him with a bit of nostalgia and sadness, as if thinking of the deceased elder, Ji Qingrou couldn't help comforting him: "Cousin, don't be sad, the jade pendant will definitely be found."

"Thank you Rou'er for your kind words." Ji Keran seemed to have recovered, and said again: "A small matter, but disturbed the Tai Tuo's elegance."

"It's okay," Xiao Xilin's cold voice sounded, "meeting is worse than meeting by chance. I heard that Mr. Ji has a picture of a hundred beasts, which is the work of Master Zheng?"

Ji Keran was taken aback, he didn't expect Xiao Xilin to bring up this matter suddenly.

The picture of all kinds of beasts was bought by him at the Ruyi Pavilion recently, and he originally planned to dedicate it to Mr. Tai Tuo, so as to get closer to each other.

It's just that he didn't find a suitable opportunity, so Xiao Xilin would take the initiative to propose it, so why would he not agree?
At that moment, Ji Keran smiled and said, "I'll ask the servants to go to the study room and send over the picture of the beasts. Is it the handwriting of Mr. Zheng? I'd like to ask Master Tai Tuo to appraise it."

"I don't dare to appraise it. It's just such a rare painting. I'm afraid it's a little careless for mere attendants to get it."

Xiao Xilin's words made Ji Keran raise his eyebrows, and couldn't help but glance to the side at Ji Qingrou, whose cheeks were flushed, and she was secretly looking at the Taifu.

Could it be that the Grand Tutor is really interested in this little cousin and wants to be alone, so he dismisses himself?

Of course Ji Keran would be happy to see Ji Qingrou take down the Grand Tutor, which is really a great thing for the Ji family.

So he replied with a smile: "Master Tai Tu is right, I will go back to pick up the painting in person, and Rou'er is here to accompany you around, so don't be negligent."

"Yes, cousin." Ji Qingrou was overjoyed, wishing that Ji Keran would leave quickly and let her and Xiao Xilin be alone.Even for a quarter of an hour, she was content.

Seeing her impatient look, Ji Keran couldn't help but smile helplessly, turned around and left the backyard.

Gu Yunxiao hid in the rockery, and felt that his stiff hands and feet eased up.Once Ji Keran left, things would be much simpler.

Xiao Xilin pointed to the front and said, "The flowers over there are in full bloom, Miss Ji, do you want to go and have a look?"

"It's natural, please, sir." It was the first time Ji Qingrou heard the gentle and considerate side of Master Taifu, how could she refuse, she took Wen Xing and walked a few steps forward, turned around and found that Xiao Xilin did not follow her On, can't help wondering: "My lord?"

Before Xiao Xilin could reply, a bird song rang out and roared over.

Ji Qingrou's face suddenly turned pale, and when she looked up, she saw Hai Dongqing, whom she was most afraid of, leaning down from mid-air, spread her wings and landed beside her, and couldn't help hiding behind Wen Xing.

Wen Xing also had a pale face, bravely waved her handkerchief, and said in her mouth, "Master Bird, don't come here, go away, go away..."

Hai Dongqing seemed quite satisfied with the sound of "Mr. Bird", and circled around the two of them. Ji Qingrou felt dizzy, but seeing Xiao Xilin walking away slowly, she stomped her feet anxiously. : "My lord, my lord..."

She called a few times, and when she saw that Xiao Xilin had entered the rockery, her face was immediately depressed.

But Ji Qingrou stood on tiptoe and looked around, unable to see clearly what interested Xiao Xilin on the other side of the rockery. Hai Dongqing's troubles from time to time had already distracted her, and she had no time to take care of it.

Hai Dongqing hooked her hairpin with his claws for a while, stepped on her shoulder for a while, and Ji Qingrou yelled "Wow wow" in fright, as if she thought it was funny, and flew around her face.

Ji Qingrou was almost frightened and cried, laying her face on Wen Xing's back, afraid that Hai Dongqing's claws would leave a paw on her cheek if she didn't pay attention, leaving a scar at that time, who would she be with? cry?
Wen Xing couldn't take care of it anymore, so she could only keep waving the handkerchief, but was teased by Hai Dongqing so that her bun fell off, like a crazy woman, quite embarrassed.

Xiao Xilin ignored the helplessness of the master and servant, and walked towards the rockery.

Ji Keran intentionally let Ji Qingrou and Xiao Xilin be alone, so all the guards retreated, and now there is nothing else in the backyard except the three of them.

He sensed that there were people in the rockery, their auras were chaotic, not warriors, probably not assassins.

Hai Dongqing reacted to this person, and Xiao Xilin guessed that it was Gu Yunxiao.

Seeing her shyly hiding in the rockery, seeing him showing a wry smile, he opened his mouth silently: 'My lord'.

Xiao Xilin nodded to her, and stretched out her hand to help Gu Yunxiao up: "They can't care about you, they can't see you, Miss Gu, please leave quickly."

Gu Yunxiao was eager to leave this place of right and wrong, patted the dust on his body, then raised his head and said, "Just now, Mr. Ji and Mrs. Gu had a chat here, and I happened to pass by."

The implication was that she heard terrible things, and Ji Keran was on guard so hard that she couldn't escape in time.

Xiao Xilin understood, and replied: "I'll go find the third girl later, and talk about it carefully."

Now is not a good time to talk, Gu Yunxiao lifted her skirt and tiptoed out of the backyard.

If Ji Keran comes back, she can't run away.

Xiao Xilin looked at the figure of Gu Yunxiao leaving in a hurry, and before she could tell this person, there was a small patch of black ash on her cheek, which contrasted with a pair of black and white eyes, which was very cute.

The corner of his mouth curled up, and he whistled, Hai Dongqing flew back with a lot of enthusiasm, and landed on Xiao Xilin's shoulder: "Kui'er is naughty, and Miss Ji is troubled."

"No...it's okay, it's lively, which is a good thing." The smile on Ji Keran's face was stiff. Being played with by a beast is really not a good experience.

If it was possible, she would like to catch this flat-haired animal, pull out all the hair, throw it naked into a hot pot, and then feed it to the dogs.

This damned bastard made himself look ugly in front of Xiao Xilin, more than once!

Xiao Xilin reached out to caress Hai Dongqing's feathers, and Kui'er rubbed his fingers comfortably, and each person and bird seemed to turn a blind eye to the resentment and annoyance in Ji Qingrou's eyes: "Miss Ji is really open-minded, don't worry gone."

When Ji Keran came back, he saw that Ji Qingrou's face was pale, and he didn't know what happened, so he couldn't ask, so he handed over the painting in his hand: "I don't know what Mr. Xiao and Rou'er talked about. Quite harmonious?"

"It's nothing, I just said that Hai Dongqing is very naughty." Xiao Xilin said, and then carefully looked at the picture of beasts: "It is indeed the handwriting of Mr. Zheng, which is really rare."

Ji Keran smiled and said, "If the Taifu likes it, this painting will belong to an adult. After all, a good painting should be in the hands of someone who knows how to appreciate it."

Xiao Xilin shook her head and said, "It's indeed a good painting, but I don't have the preference to win people's love. Mr. Ji spent thousands of dollars to buy it, so this painting must be your favorite."

The smile on the corner of Ji Keran's mouth froze slightly. This man even knew how much he spent to buy this painting. What is there in Beijing that he doesn't know?
Xiao Xilin seems to have more eyeliner than she imagined.

Ji Qingrou was frightened and didn't dare to stay any longer, so she hurried away with Wen Xing.

Ji Keran was rejected when he failed to give the gift, so he reluctantly exchanged some pleasantries, and Xiao Xilin thoughtfully took Hai Dongqing to leave quickly.

After sending the man out of the mansion, Ji Keran's expression suddenly darkened.

This Taifu lord has never been indifferent, which is really troublesome.Especially the half-smile look, as if seeing something in those eyes, which makes people feel a little uneasy.

It seems that it is not an easy task to win over Xiao Xilin, no wonder An Guohou tried it before and gave up soon.

Ji Keran soon felt relieved, and regained his usual gentleness and elegance.Since he doesn't want to drink a toast and wants to have a fine wine, I don't mind giving him the gift!

If you can't win over, you can only destroy it!
An Guohou is really too timid, otherwise, why should he pay attention to a mere grand master, and still be jealous everywhere?
Gu Yunxiao hid in hiding, afraid of being seen by the maids along the way. Fortunately, he didn't meet anyone along the way, and he returned to the yard smoothly, so he was relieved.

Seeing her coming back, Liu Xu couldn't help being shocked: "Where did the girl go, she's covered in dust?"

If it is possible, she really wants to ask her own lady if she has gone to play in the mud.
