Before the city lord arrived, the old butler went into the house.

When you have distinguished guests, some basic hospitality is necessary.Steward Li has been by Ah Jiu's side for many years, how could he not know that his young master never considered these complicated and trivial matters.

If the old housekeeper hadn't prepared everything properly, by the time the city lord appeared, he might not even have a glass of water.Such a scene is too embarrassing.

What's more, Ah Jiu, who has always been too lazy to deal with these trivial matters, unexpectedly stopped the housekeeper, and he asked the old housekeeper to bring more pastries or other delicious food.

Therefore, the old butler quickly brought some pastries and tea.

The difference between the two is that Ah Jiu prepared all the pastries for Pu Xiaoding.As for the pot of hot tea that was just brewed, it was reserved for Ah Jiu and the city lord to drink.

Although the butler had already realized that there were other people in this room besides his son.

However, when this other person appeared in front of the housekeeper as Ah Jiu's partner, and the other party was a very inconspicuous little monster, even the always calm old housekeeper, he couldn't help but have a flash of surprise in his eyes.

The old butler knew that some emotions should not be revealed outside, especially that the little monster was the partner whose identity was revealed by the young master himself, which meant that it was an absolutely true fact.

From then on, the housekeeper will treat Pu Xiaoding as the second master of the family.He will be very polite to Pu Xiaoding.

In the past scene of Pu Xiaoding in the courtyard, he had met the old housekeeper, and he was full of affection for this old man who managed Ah Jiu's mansion in an orderly manner.

When he saw the cakes of various flavors brought by the old butler, he suddenly felt his eyes light up.Wangcheng is really different from their small village, the pastries here are extremely exquisite.

Although Hanamura and Yaocun have never been short of fresh ingredients, everyone is used to keeping everything simple. It is delicious and convenient to cook, which is what everyone pursues.Therefore, everyone will not excessively pursue the appearance of the pastry and the exquisite patterns.

Plus, these pastry serving plates are extraordinarily beautiful.

Pu Xiaoding secretly made a comparison, comparing with Pu Xiaoding's best Jiupu Cake, even in terms of ingredients, Pu Xiaoding has already used the best ingredients within his ability.

However, judging from the final effect, Pu Xiaoding's Jiupu cake and the pastry brought by the housekeeper belong to two realms of rough and exquisite.

Pu Xiaoding immediately made up his mind that he will continue to work hard to make Jiupu cakes better and better, not only delicious, but also beautiful.

Even if it can't be as good as these pastries, it is more or less better than the previous Jiupu cakes.

After Pu Xiaoding made his decision, he moved on to other issues. He looked at the pastries on the plate repeatedly: "These are all for me?"

This is not a plate of pastries. The butler prepared a large amount of pastries in a short period of time. There were more than ten plates and placed them on the small table next to him.

Ah Jiu nodded in response, and he looked at Pu Xiaoding with a softer look: "Eat it, the cakes in Wangcheng are not bad."

He was going to talk to the city lord later, he was worried that Pu Xiaoding would be bored, so he prepared some food for Pu Xiaoding.

Previously, since there was no old housekeeper by Ah Jiu's side, Ah Jiu could only give Pu Xiaoding small things like stonefish that could spit bubbles.Although Pu Xiaoding had a lot of fun every time, Ah Jiu couldn't help thinking whether he had wronged Pu Xiaoding a little bit.

Ah Jiu has always been satisfied with the old butler's ability to handle affairs. The old butler has been by his side for a long time, and he understands his orders best.

As long as Ah Jiu said a word, the old housekeeper knew what he should do and what he should not do.

Ah Jiu could see clearly that the old housekeeper just knocked on the door and refused to enter the house just because of Ah Jiu's precautions.

Ah Jiu had an accident a year ago, and he had just returned. When Ah Jiu arrived in this room, he was vigilant as one can imagine.If the butler appeared in front of him rashly, it would definitely affect Ah Jiu's trust in him.

So, the steward chose another way. He first revealed his identity, and then waited for Ah Jiu's decision.If Ah Jiu is willing to see him, he must express something.

Ah Jiu really believed in the old housekeeper who had taken care of her for many years, and it was beyond the old housekeeper's expectation. Telling the housekeeper to prepare pastries was simply too rare and abnormal.

The old butler didn't dare to hesitate, he handled everything as quickly as possible, and delivered it to Ah Jiu himself.Apart from looking at his young master's situation, he also wanted to see who was the one who could make the young master say such things.

Here, only the old butler is guarding, and no one else will come and go. The old butler is quite careful.

After hearing Ah Jiu's words, Pu Xiaoding happily picked up a piece of pastry and stuffed it into his mouth.

As early as he saw these pastries for the first time, he wanted to taste them.He was worried that this was food for entertaining guests, and he was too embarrassed to stretch out his hand.

Now that Ah Jiu said that these were all for him, he stopped being polite and started eating contentedly.He ate a piece, and he didn't forget to take a piece to Ah Jiu's mouth: "Ah Jiu, this is really delicious, try it."

The next moment, under the surprised gaze of the old housekeeper, Ah Jiu took a bite of the pastry that was handed to her mouth.

It has to be said that this was the first time the old housekeeper saw someone dare to treat his young master like this, but Ah Jiu accepted it completely, without any reluctance or anger.

The housekeeper once again judged Pu Xiaoding's existence in his heart.This partner is a lifelong partner in the true sense, not a superficial identity to repay some kindness, nor is it a marriage identity with a relationship of interest.

In an instant, the housekeeper's emphasis on Pu Xiaoding increased a bit.

As a simple villager, Pu Xiaoding received such delicious food, and he also expressed his gratitude to the old housekeeper. He smiled at the old housekeeper: "They are so delicious, thank you."

What he said surprised and delighted the old housekeeper. The young master's partner had a good temperament and was easy to get along with. This was undoubtedly good news for the whole family.

The old housekeeper was very relieved that despite his haste, the young master did not randomly choose a partner.Even though the old housekeeper couldn't figure out why Ah Jiu and Pu Xiaoding were together for a while, there must be a reason for the young master to do so.

He won't ask too much about the young master's personal affairs, as long as Pu Xiaoding himself has no major problems, then that's enough.

Pu Xiaoding's attention to food didn't last long, and the city lord came.

For this exceptionally powerful city lord, Pu Xiaoding had already learned from the monsters in the restaurant how powerful this city lord is.However, there is always a difference between what you see with your own eyes and what you hear.

The female city lord's expression was a bit indifferent, but her temper was not too bad. She noticed Pu Xiaoding's curious gaze, and she didn't feel offended, but looked at Pu Xiaoding calmly.

Her gaze fell on Pu Xiaoding, without a suffocating sharpness, it was enough to show goodwill.

This time, the city lord did not come to see Ah Jiu alone, but a young general followed behind her.The last time Pu Xiaoding saw this person in the underground mansion, it was this man who had conflicts with many families in Wangcheng. He insisted on carrying out the order of the city lord to demolish Ah Jiu's mansion.

So Pu Xiaoding was equally impressed with this man, and couldn't help but look left and right, and the other party nodded to him politely as a greeting.

The attitude of the young general is not enthusiastic, but in a place like Wangcheng, as a person next to the city lord, he can do such a thing, which is quite a face for the little monster.

Pu Xiaoding knew that he might not understand what Ah Jiu was about to discuss with the city lord.

He wouldn't speak casually, he would honestly eat pastries by the side while listening to their conversations, Ah Jiu made the pastries prepared by the old housekeeper come in a timely manner.

Pu Xiaoding thought, he can't act too ignorant in front of everyone, he will eat hard, pretending that he understands, he can't let Ah Jiu lose face.

However, to everyone's surprise, the city lord's visit this time was not just for Ah Jiu alone. The first thing she said was: "I am here this time to negotiate a deal with you."

She said "you", not "you", and Ah Jiu immediately understood that the other party's purpose was not only on her.

If it has nothing to do with Pu Xiaoding, Ah Jiu is willing to give it a try even if the city lord proposes difficult conditions.Once Pu Xiaoding was involved, Ah Jiu immediately became unhappy.With Pu Xiaoding's current cultivation base, Pu Xiaoding was involved in danger, how could he survive.

The moment he heard the city lord's words, Ah Jiu frowned.

Seeing this, the city lord was not in a hurry, she said slowly: "It's not a difficult matter of competing in cultivation, it's a problem that I can't start with."

If this is not the case, the city lord will not seek help from outside.

Ah Jiu raised his eyebrows. He was thinking about the difficulties that made the city lord feel helpless.He weighed it over and over again and asked, "What's the matter?"

As far as he can, he doesn't mind cooperating with the city lord. In the final analysis, Ah Jiu also needs others.

The city lord's eyes swept over Ah Jiu and Pu Xiaoding quietly: "I want to find someone. I have been looking for him all these years, but unfortunately I can't find any news about him at all."

When Ah Jiu heard this, her expression became a little serious.It was a coincidence that Ah Jiu and the others were also looking for someone, and they wanted to find out the whereabouts of Lan Luo's younger brother and sister.On the other hand, people who the city lord can't find, Ah Jiu and the others probably can't find them even more.

Ah Jiu didn't see the slightest panic, he signaled the city lord to continue talking, only by knowing more details can he be sure whether this transaction can be negotiated.

The city owner is not someone who likes to beat around the bush. She said bluntly, "The person I'm looking for, you know, is the old gentleman who helped you."

Hearing these words, not only Ah Jiu's face changed when he looked at the city lord, Pu Xiaoding also shifted his eyes from those pastries to the city lord.

Whether it is Ah Jiu or Pu Xiaoding, the old gentleman is a very important and very special person.

For Ah Jiu, the old gentleman opened up a way for him to live, and in Pu Xiaoding's heart, this old gentleman is the old fairy of the village. With the old fairy's garden and medicine garden, there are two villages today.

At the same time, it was also the old gentleman who handed the dandelion seeds to the former Wang Cheng Jiuxiao.

Ah Jiu and Pu Xiaoding would not agree to anything that might be detrimental to the old man, even if the person in front of them was a city lord with extraordinary abilities.

The young general caught sight of the dangerous glint in Ah Jiu's eyes, and he immediately became vigilant, with a hint of hostility inadvertently.

However, before the trace of hostility was fully formed, the city lord waved it away, and she signaled him not to mess around.

The city lord was as calm as ever: "You don't need to be so nervous. The old gentleman is also very important to me. I will not hurt him. The inner alchemy I gave you was given to me by him."

How could Ah Jiu not understand how important the fake inner alchemy that sealed his own shadow was.It is not surprising that the old gentleman gave the inner alchemy to someone, asked the other party to keep it for Ah Jiu, and delivered it to Ah Jiu at the right time.

But even so, Ah Jiu still couldn't help doubting whether the city lord was trustworthy.

Did the city lord snatch this fake inner alchemy from others just to let them help find the old man's whereabouts?

At the same moment, Pu Xiaoding's eyes also fell on Ah Jiu, he couldn't figure out what the city lord's purpose was.After a while, Pu Xiaoding heard Ah Jiu say: "This person is very difficult to find, and it is very likely that we will not get any news for a long time."

The city owner had no clue, and Ah Jiu and Pu Xiaoding still didn't know where the old gentleman was.

The reason why Ah Jiu didn't reject the request of the city lord on the spot was because Ah Jiu would have to find the old man sooner or later to find the answer to the doubts in his heart.

He doesn't mind making inquiries now, but if he finds out that the city lord is not trustworthy, he will not tell the city lord the truth.

The city owner saw clearly that Ah Jiu was wary of her, but at the same time, she also saw that Ah Jiu intended to cooperate.

The next thing is to discuss again between the two sides, what kind of request Ah Jiu will use to exchange with the city lord.Obviously, the difficulty of finding Lan Luo's younger brother and sister in the Lan family is the same as finding someone who is missing and powerful, but it is far from the same level.

The author has something to say: Pu Xiaoding: Looking forward to the face, Ah Jiu, Ah Jiu, can I bring the cakes back to the village for everyone to eat?

A friend: Old housekeeper, prepare more pastries
