Shen Qiqi did not expect that the visitor would be Ruan Haosheng. She was startled at first, and then quickly stood up from the bed. The little hand that was covered by the palace mat naturally broke away.

Gong Xi's expression was always calm, as if nothing in the world could affect him. Feeling Shen Qiqi withdraw his hand, he lowered his eyes slightly, looked at his empty palms, and smiled helplessly, He raised his eyes and looked silently at the man at the door.

He had seen that man before, just a few months ago, when he was standing on the podium speaking, and he himself was in the queue below.

From the moment he entered the army, his ears were often filled with stories about Ruan Haosheng, the youngest major general in the history of our country. His illustrious military exploits were often the talk of the town in their dormitory. All the men admired him. He regards him as his idol and also hopes to become the second legend!

Indeed, the palace minister had to admit that such a magnificent man was born to be jealous!

"Uncle..." At this time, Shen Qiqi seemed a little embarrassed. Perhaps she was afraid that Ruan Haosheng would see the previous scene. She was a little uneasy and lowered her head slightly, but she couldn't help but carefully look at the man's expression.

Ruan Haosheng was silent for a long time, and his dark eyes were full of changes, as deep as the vast sea at night. Under the seemingly calm sea, there were hidden undercurrents that could never be detected.

Shen Qiqi's scalp was numb when he saw Ruan Haosheng, and his head was so low that his chin almost touched his chest.

"Come here." Finally, the man's voice came out low and deep. It was very powerful but could not be ignored.

In fact, how dare Shen Qiqi be disobedient now?

She walked slowly over, raised her eyes secretly, carefully noticed the expression on the man's face, and finally stopped in front of him.

Ruan Haosheng lowered his eyes, looked at the girl in front of him, and suddenly raised his hand.

Shen Qiqi was startled and closed his eyes suddenly.

However, the big hand just landed on the top of her head, and then Ruan Haosheng's voice continued to ring in her ears: "You go out first and let me have a good talk with Gong Xi."

"Ah?" Shen Qiqi suddenly opened her eyes, raised her head, and looked at the man in confusion, surprised: "What does uncle want to say to Gong Xi?"

Ruan Haosheng frowned, he didn't like Shen Qiqi caring about that boy!

"Children, stay away from adult matters and get out!" Ruan Haosheng's voice turned cold almost instantly, and he retracted his big hands.

Shen Qiqi shrank her shoulders and nodded obediently: "Oh."

After saying that, she took a step forward, brushed the man's arm with her shoulder, and walked out the door.

The door was closed behind her. When Shen Qiqi turned around, she could only stare at the door panel in front of her.

What secret conversation does uncle want to have with the palace lady?!

Shen Qiqi was full of curiosity and leaned close to the door. She was about to gently lean her head there...

"Miss Seven!"

A voice suddenly sounded from behind. Shen Qiqi was frightened and stood up straight. When she turned around, she saw it was Aunt Chen!

"Aunt Chen, what are you doing? You almost scared me to death!" Shen Qiqi was so frightened that she quickly touched her chest, looking shocked.

Aunt Chen is not stupid either. She happened to see Shen Qiqi's movements just now and made it clear that she planned to eavesdrop on the conversation in the room.

However, she didn't point it out, she just smiled and said: "It's almost dinner time, and I wanted to come up and ask if Master Gong Xi has anything in particular that he wants to eat!"

"If he wants to eat anything in particular, just make him some porridge or something." Shen Qiqi frowned and walked downstairs after saying this. After walking a few steps, she looked like As if remembering something, he turned to look at Aunt Chen who was following behind, and asked, "Where is grandpa?"

"The old chief hasn't come downstairs, he should still be in the study." Aunt Chen replied.

"Oh, I understand." Shen Qiqi nodded, changed direction, and walked towards the study again.

"Hey, Miss Qi, are you going to find the old chief? Just in time, please help me send the brewed Biluochun in."

When Shen Qiqi knocked on the door and entered, the old man was sitting on the desk reading documents, with old-fashioned glasses on his nose. Behind him was a brightly polished floor-to-ceiling window. It was still snowing outside, and the window glass was covered with a light layer. White mist.

"Grandpa." Shen Qiqi walked in, carefully holding the tea cup in his hands.

When the old man heard the sound, he looked up and saw his precious granddaughter holding tea with a nervous look on her face.

"Hey, hey, be careful, be careful!"

"Don't worry, it'll be fine." Shen Qiqi smiled slightly, staring closely at the tea cup in his hand until he finally placed it on the desk.

The old man was frightened, shook his head and complained: "You girl, just let Xiao Chen do things like delivering tea. Why are you joining in the fun? If you get burned somewhere, what will you do to grandpa? Alas..."

"Don't be so exaggerated, I'm fine!" Shen Qiqi smiled, slipped behind the old man, squeezed his shoulders, and continued: "Besides, I'm not afraid of grandpa. Are you thirsty? That’s why I eagerly bring you tea!”

"Sweet!" The old man smiled heartily, raised his hand to pick up the tea sent by Shen Qiqi himself, opened the lid and took a sip, then nodded and praised: "Not bad, Xiao Chen's tea making skills are good. It’s getting better and better!”

"Hey, maybe I brewed this tea. How can you say it was Aunt Chen..." Shen Qiqi was very dissatisfied and deliberately looked at her cheeks.

"How much does your girl weigh? Does grandpa know?" The old man didn't give Shen Qiqi any face. He shook his head and continued: "It's a tea and a shoulder squeeze. You, don’t go to the Three Treasures Palace for anything!”

Hearing this, Shen Qiqi was stunned for a moment, and then started to giggle again. Without being polite at all, she nodded and said, "Grandpa is so smart, I can't hide anything from you!"

"Your grandpa hasn't become an old fool yet!" The old man looked back at the girl, then quickly brushed away her little hand that was squeezing her shoulders, and asked very vigilantly: "Tell me first, what trouble did you cause again?!"

Shen Qiqi's face dropped and she looked innocent: "Grandpa, I didn't do anything bad outside. I've been very good lately!"

The old man raised his eyebrows, showing interest.

"You didn't cause any trouble? Then what do you want to do today?"

Shen Qiqi laughed again, and approached the old man very flatteringly, saying: "Grandpa, ** once said, study hard and make progress every day! So, I want to sign up for a cram school for the college entrance examination. Anyway, there is nothing to do during the holiday. , I might as well go to class!”

"College entrance exam cram school?" The old man probably didn't expect the girl to say that. He was stunned at first, then frowned, and said strangely: "Did something happen to you girl? Why have you fallen in love with her more and more recently? I’ve learned a lot, I’ve never seen you with such energy before!”

"I was too young before, but now I have realized it, so I want to take advantage of the opportunity to study more so that I can get good results in the college entrance examination!" Shen Qiqi nodded solemnly, seeing the old man's disbelief, She patted her chest again and promised: "Grandpa, I promise that I will get good results in the exam and bring glory to you!"

Although it is a good thing to love studying, the old man does not want Shen Qiqi to be tired from studying. Besides, as long as this girl likes it, she can choose any school in Beijing, so why bother to take the hard exams?

Thinking about this, the old man shook his head and said disapprovingly: "It's a rare holiday. You can ask your uncle to take you out to have more fun. There is no need for cram school or anything like that!"

"Why is it not necessary!" When Shen Qiqi heard this, he immediately jumped up and said repeatedly: "If my grades are not good, how will I pass the exam? Besides, I..." She shut up and shook her head. Shaking his head, he quickly said: "I mean, I don't want to rely on connections to go to college. You can only go to college once in your life, and I don't want to regret it!"

The old man still shook his head and his attitude was very firm: "No, girls can't be too tired at home. Just take the exam casually when the time comes. If anyone dares to gossip about you, grandpa will take care of him for you!"

Shen Qiqi was helpless and grabbed the old man's sleeve pitifully: "Grandpa...Grandpa, please..."

The old man had no choice but to look at the girl and had to make some concessions. He just said: "Go and talk to your uncle and see what his opinion is. Anyway, this matter... forget it. Grandpa abstains. It's up to you." Give it a try!"

"That works!" Shen Qiqi laughed again.

"Get out, get out." The old man stopped and shook his head: "It's annoying, it's really annoying!"

"Okay, okay, I will disappear, I will disappear immediately!" Shen Qiqi said with a smile, turned around and left the study immediately.

However, as soon as she walked out of the study room, the smile on the girl's face disappeared immediately.

Tell her uncle? Oh, how dare she!

At lunchtime, the three generations of the Ruan family gathered at the same table again. Because Gong Xi was injured and unable to move, lunch was served by the nurse who took care of him and he ate directly in the room.

Today, Aunt Chen prepared a table of Shanghainese dishes, which were very rich.

When Shen Qiqi was eating, she felt something familiar. She suddenly thought of Shangguan Heyun. The last time Shangguan Heyun's mother came to Beijing, she also cooked a table of Shanghainese dishes for her!

"Xiao Chen, when did you learn Shanghainese food?" The old man tasted a few bites and thought it tasted good. Although the taste was a bit strong, it was generally good.

"Lao An is from Shanghai, he taught me." Aunt Chen stood nearby and waited. When she heard the old man's question, she immediately replied: "I practiced it several times in private until Lao An nodded. , I dared to make it and serve it on the table!”

"I am determined." The old man nodded and said, "I have worked hard for you for so many years."

"It's okay." Aunt Chen lowered her head and smiled shyly.

Shen Qiqi glanced at the old man, then at Aunt Chen, and finally raised her eyes to look at Ruan Haosheng secretly, but saw that the man just frowned slightly, and then continued to eat calmly as if nothing was wrong.

She was a little depressed and had to lower her head to fight with the food in her bowl!

"Qi Yatou, what happened when you told grandpa today, did you tell your uncle?" At this moment, the old man suddenly changed the topic to Shen Qiqi, and he couldn't stop talking about it.

Shen Qiqi was so frightened that she almost fell off her chair. She raised her head and met Ruan Haosheng's sharp and puzzled gaze as expected.

"Ahem... Well, this is not urgent, not urgent." Shen Qiqi laughed, then buried her head and continued to eat.

Ruan Haosheng looked at the girl and then turned his gaze to the old man: "Dad, what's going on?"

"This girl wants to sign up for a cram school, but I think it's almost the Chinese New Year, so what kind of cram school should she enroll in?" The old man shook his head and told the matter in detail.

Shen Qiqi immediately cried out in her heart. She should have asked her grandfather to keep it secret. It would be best to sign a confidentiality agreement!

After hearing this, Ruan Haosheng had a gloomy look on his face. He just turned his eyes and looked at the girl, his eyes filled with meaning.

Shen Qiqi had a ghost in her heart, so naturally she couldn't resist his glance. She shrunk her head and immediately made an ostrich posture, lowering her head and picking up the rice vigorously.

However, surprisingly, Ruan Haosheng just nodded and said calmly: "Xiaoguai's academic performance is not too bad. Doesn't she want to be a doctor? Beijing Medical College does not have the requirements for student performance scores. Gao, there’s no need to worry unfoundedly!”

"Yeah." Shen Qiqi responded vaguely and continued to lower his head.

Lunch was spent in conversation between the old man and Ruan Haosheng. After finishing her meal, Shen Qiqi put down her bowl and ran upstairs, looking anxious.

After going upstairs, she originally wanted to see the palace seats, but after thinking about it, she finally gave up, slipped back to her room, and turned on her computer to play games.

Regarding the cram school, it didn't seem to cause too much trouble. The old man just thought that the girl was afraid of poor college entrance examination results. Afterwards, he went to Shen Qiqi alone and had a deep conversation with her, telling her not to give it. I am under too much pressure, and my grandpa is taking care of everything!

After hearing these words, Shen Qiqi could only look like he wanted to cry without tears, but he did not dare to express his inner thoughts, so he could only nod his head.

As for Ruan Haosheng, he didn't seem to pay much attention to the matter. He had been staying at home these days, occasionally taking Shen Qiqi out to play, but most of the time he stayed at home and watched TV with her. The relationship between the two of them is only based on courtesy, and even they sleep in separate rooms at night.

The reason is that Shen Qiqi discovered that Aunt Chen seemed to like hanging around in front of her. She would always come to see her from time to time, using various reasons or excuses. She even came to her room on time every morning. Asking her to get up made Shen Qiqi very depressed, and although Ruan Haosheng didn't say anything, his expression had not been very good in recent days.

However, what is more gratifying is that Gong Xi's injury has finally recovered and he can get out of bed and move around.

Ruan Haosheng would handle some necessary official documents in the study every morning, and taking this opportunity, Shen Qiqi could find the palace seat.

In fact, Shen Qiqi still has a big question, where has Gong Xi's mother gone?

Since Gong Xi officially moved to Ruan's house, she has never heard anything about Gong Xi's mother. She didn't dare to ask Gong Xi. She just asked her grandfather in a circumstantial way, but the old man's answer was vague. He said that Gong Xi’s mother was from the south and missed her hometown relatives during the New Year, so she returned to the south.

After hearing this, Shen Qiqi felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell specifically what was wrong, so she just gave up.
