Qin Yanran swallowed the food in his mouth, and then responded: "This fire is indeed committed by someone with a heart, I think, it should be that there is no way to stop it."

This batch of timber arrived only two days ago, because there is construction everywhere in the square courtyard, and there is no extra place to place it, so they are all piled up outside the courtyard.

Leisurely looked at him suspiciously, "Did you find anything?" Otherwise, how would my brother know that it was artificial? ”

"We found oil on the wood that wasn't burned, and we found a fire breaker." As he spoke, Mu Yan took out something wrapped in a handkerchief from his arms, and when he unfolded it, it was clearly the fire fold he was talking about.

I saw that the surface of this fire fold has been scorched black by fire, and if you don't look carefully, you can't see its original face at all, and it is likely to be mistaken for a small wooden stick or something!

"I thought he would do something unfavorable to our workers first! Security was redeployed during the day. Unexpectedly, the first thing he started was construction materials. Leisurely frowned her good-looking brows, with a depressed expression.

Mu Lan glanced at her amusedly, "It turns out that you are depressed because you guessed wrong, where did they attack first?" "Can she still focus on the point?

"I didn't." Leisurely put down the finished dishes and chopsticks, and said with a snug mouth.

Although she said negative words, her face was completely different. Mu Lan shook her head helplessly, looked at Qin Yuran with her eyes, and asked, "Cousin, is the loss serious this time?" Is there enough wood for this construction? ”

"It's so serious that you can't talk about it." Qin Haoran estimated for a moment, and then shook his head slightly, "What was burned this time is only a two-day supply, and I will send someone to find some more tomorrow." ”

After hearing this, Mu Lan put her mind at ease, "That's good, it's better not to delay the construction process than anything else." ”

Everyone nodded in unison......

On another day, it was already afternoon when I woke up. Stretched out her soft and white little hand and rubbed her hazy sleepy eyes, stretching lazily, this feeling of sleeping until she woke up naturally was so comfortable that she wanted to hum.

When you open your eyes slightly, you meet a pair of big clear and bright eyes; Youran was slightly stunned, blinked his eyes and dried the tears that came out of physiological reasons, and then he saw the whole picture of the big-eyed owner.

Gongsun Chenxi had already come over last night, and because he had gone to the north of the city leisurely, he let him pounce; waited left and right, and finally waited for her to come back, but before he could appear, he had already gone to meet with Zhou. Dawn had no choice but to continue waiting; That's why you can see him as soon as you open your eyes.

Chenxi saw that she opened her eyes leisurely and showed a bright smile, "Lord Xiaoran, have you woken up?" Morning...... Well, it's not early, so good afternoon? ”

Leisurely half got up, looked at the delicate little person lying beside her bed, and asked in surprise, "Dawn?" How did you get here? ”

"Lord Xiao Ran, have you forgotten?" Chenxi stood up, tilted her head and said, "Didn't Lord Xiao Ran say that he came to report to you every half a month?" Yesterday happened to be half a month, and because my father and mother were busy with something to do, they couldn't come over, so they sent me over to report to Lord Xiao Ran. ”

Leisurely raised her eyebrows, patted her smooth head, and then remembered that when she first came to the Southern Imperial Mansion, she sent out a lot of things for Ah Piao to do things for her.

Hurriedly got up, went down to the ground and opened the door, "Chenxi, you wait for me a little longer, I'll go wash first." ”

When I came back last night, it was almost dawn, and I didn't even take off my clothes because I was so sleepy that I fell asleep under the quilt, so now I have saved the time to get dressed. I washed my face with well water in the yard, and shivered all over my body from the cold; However, it also made her completely refreshed.

"Miss? Did you wake up? Wanyun came out of the kitchen, just saw the leisurely after washing his face, and walked over in a few steps, "Miss, on this cold day, how can you wash your face with this freshly dug well water?" ”

The newly dug well water is cool in the summer, not to mention that it is still in the depths of winter, so it is not like ice?

Leisurely wiped his face with a handkerchief, turned back to her and smiled indifferently, "It's okay, it's the hottest time of the day, and the well water is not very cold." ”

"But ......"

"Okay, I said it's okay and it'll be fine. It's a big deal that I won't do it in the future. Wanyun wanted to say something more, but was interrupted leisurely, "By the way, is there anything to eat?" I slept like this, and I was hungry. ”

Wanyun was told by her, and quickly skipped her attention away from this; nodded hurriedly and responded: "Yes, there are some of them, at noon, the kitchen made sweet and sour small ribs and braised prawns, and the eldest young master said that these are all young lady's favorite food, and specially ordered you to leave them."

The corners of Youran's mouth were full of smiles, or her brother was the best for her, and he loved her the most, "Then you can help me bring it into my room!" I won't go to the restaurant to eat. ”

"yes, okay." Wanyun nodded in agreement.

"By the way, what about them, brother?" Leisurely looked left and right at the unusually quiet courtyard, and asked strangely.

"The eldest young master, they have all gone to the north of the city, and now there are slaves and maids and Wanxue at home, and Wanxue is watching the porridge in the kitchen! The slave came out to see if you woke up, Miss. Wanyun replied with a smile.

nodded leisurely, "Then you and Wanxue will help me bring the food, and I'll go back to the room and wait first." ”

"Yes." Wanyun curtsied, and after turning around and entering the house leisurely, he went to the kitchen to look for Wanxue.

"Chenxi, wait a minute, my two personal maids will come over, you don't want to be discovered by them." As soon as she entered the room, she sat down on the round table in the outer room and said to the morning light who came towards her.

"Lord Xiao Ran, don't worry! If I hadn't been there for them, they wouldn't have seen me or heard me. Dawn nodded.

With a leisurely smile, she picked up the apple in the fruit bowl on the table and handed it to him, don't think she didn't notice his little eyes that light up when she looks at the apple.

In recent years, as she has grown older, she has found that she no longer has to go through the same trouble when giving them things to Dawn. Now as long as it passes through her hand, they can basically get it; In the past, they could only touch it after worship. For this matter, she also specially asked about black and white impermanence, and the answer they gave was that the Holy Flower of the Underworld was more and more appropriate to merge with her, and when the Holy Flower was completely integrated with her, she could command the hundred ghosts.

Leisurely silence: "......" (ー_ー)!! She seems to be the king of a hundred ghosts! Besides, she can also order the hundred ghosts to fight before she is fully integrated?

With a squeak, the door opened, and Wanyun and Wanxue each walked in with the food box. The two of them saluted leisurely first, and then stepped forward to set the meal for leisurely.

"Miss, this porridge was made by the eldest young master when he went out, saying that it was for the young lady to nourish her blood and heart, calm her nerves and help her sleep." Wanxue said, and took out a soup cup from the food box; When the lid is opened, a sweet smell wafts out.

took a small porcelain bowl, scooped a few spoonfuls of porridge and put it in, and then handed it to Youran.

"Longan peanut porridge?" Leisurely picked up the spoon and took a bite, and the aroma of longan and peanuts suddenly overflowed the whole mouth, "Hmm, it's delicious!" ”

"If you like it, Miss." Wanxue saw that she liked it leisurely, so she was relieved.

Eating spoonful after spoonful leisurely, Chenxi, who was sitting on the side, was very greedy, looking at her spoon of porridge without blinking, and swallowed her saliva silently.

After a pause in the action of eating, he leisurely took back his gaze at the morning light without a trace, and then said to the evening clouds: "Evening clouds, evening snow, you go and get the next table of chopsticks; Also, I don't need you to serve anything here for the time being, you go and do your work first, and I'll call you after the meal. ”

Wanyun and Wanxue glanced at each other before saluting leisurely and responding, "Yes, Miss."

After doing what they had leisurely instructed, the two of them exited the room together.

She stretched out her head and looked at them for a long time, and when she saw that they were already far away, she withdrew her gaze.

With a smile in his eyebrows, he put a bowl of porridge in front of Chenxi and said, "Come, eat!"

Chenxi's eyes widened in surprise, and when he saw the sweetness that Youran was smiling at him at this time, he realized that he liked Lord Xiao Ran a little more: "Thank you, Lord Xiao Ran!"

He moved his fingers leisurely, and it took a great deal of strength to resist the urge to rub his head; She hadn't forgotten that she couldn't touch them.

With a smile, he put a stewed prawn in oil into his bowl and said softly: "Try this again, it's delicious, this is my favorite!"

"Hmmm......"

This meal, Chenxi was satisfied, it was the first time he had eaten such a delicious meal! Spread lazily on the chair, a small meat hand rubbed the little belly he ate, and did not forget to chirp a few times in his mouth, so as to express his satisfaction.

"Xiao Chenxi, have you eaten enough?" Drinking tea leisurely, looking at him with a funny look, his eyes were full of doting expressions.

"I'm full." Chenxi opened her eyes, nodded with a smile and said, "Lord Xiao Ran's food is so delicious!" ”

laughed leisurely: "Hehe, then if you want to eat it in the future, come over, and I'll let them make it for you."

"Hmm!" Dawn nodded heavily in agreement.

After resting for a while, he remembered the reason for coming over this time, sat upright, and looked at Youran with a serious face: "Lord Xiao Ran, this time the big guy went to various places to investigate and came back, those old shops with a century-old name, most of them have a big secret, and only a small part of them are in line with the conditions you said at the beginning."

When they first came to the Southern Imperial Mansion, they were sent to various places in the vicinity to explore the shops or shops with century-old brands. See if there are any merchants who are clean and innocent, do not collude with officials and gangsters, and do not see profit, forgetfulness and treachery, and only know those merchants who do business honestly; After the completion of the shopping mall, it will be the first batch of merchants to move in.

"Is there a list to be counted?" She had already thought of this result, after all, profiteers, profiteers, and few people who were not treacherous and cunning in business, it would be strange if they could honestly open a shop!

And she is now looking for those merchants who are not too treacherous and will not cause trouble for the shopping mall in the future.

"Sorted out." Chenxi nodded and responded, "Lord Xiao Ran take a note on paper, and I'll listen to you." ”

"Okay." ……
