Chapter 22 Chess Game(1/2)

Please give me a monthly ticket

****

Yang Shao was in his early forties, not tall and handsome. "≤, he not only came by himself, but also brought Yang Xuanrang. The father and son came to the main hall and sat down, and first worshiped Mrs. Ji.

Yang Shao's attitude was not enthusiastic, but he was modest and polite, and he showed great respect to Mrs. Ji.

At this point, Master Ji Er believed Ji Xiaotang even more. Mr. Yang was immersed in government affairs for decades. Even if he was full of luck, he could achieve the position of Mr. Gong, at least he was smart and conscious of the current affairs.

Even Mrs. Ji must feel something in her heart when she looks respectful and valued.

Even so, Old Mrs. Ji still refused to take Old Mr. Yang's car, but she no longer choked when she spoke, but showed her simple side.

"The old woman has received this kind of heart, but her identity is not easy to overcome. The old woman is used to living in the countryside, and her body is not that delicate, and she can ride in any car."

Yang Shao repeatedly gave in, and Old Mrs. Ji refused again and again, and in the end everyone came out to smooth things over.

Yang Shao and Yang Xuan asked Yang Ge Lao's carriage to lead the way, and everyone's carriages were behind. Ji Xiaotang's carriage was lined up in the middle and slightly behind. She only placed half of the county lord's carriage, so she would not be rude to the Yang family or be arrogant, and would not be arrogant and surpass her elders.

Yang Shao was in front of him, but he had already known that Ji Xiaotang had half a car, so he couldn't help but nod. He came to pick up Mrs. Ji, and there were many people just now. Although he was careful, he did not see Ji Xiaotang clearly. However, just looking at Ji Xiaotang, he knew that he was a girl who acted safely and was very sensible.

This is the only thing that is very respectable.

Yang Shao thought so in his heart, and then glanced at Yang Xuan.

Yang Xuanrang's eyes were looking back, and he didn't know who he was looking at.

Yang Shao coughed dryly, and Yang Xuan asked him to hear it and immediately turned around.

"Be more stable." Yang Shao reminded his son, and told him, "I'll talk about everything when I go back."

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, people came and went on the streets of the capital. Yang Ge Lao's carriage was driving the road in front. Except for meeting the carriage of Prince Su's mansion at the Yulan Bridge, he went smoothly to the Yang Mansion.

Mr. Yang and his wife Qin led the whole mansion to greet each other at the two gates, and kept greeting everyone to the main hall of the Mr. Gong's mansion and sat down and talked.

Old Mrs. Ji was naturally given up to the seat.

After a few greetings, Mr. Yang saw that Mr. Ji was not good at talking and did not like socializing, so he didn't say much. After sitting for a while, he let everyone rest in the warm room behind him.

"It's warm. I'm all my family and I feel much more comfortable when speaking." Mr. Yang said with a smile.

Everyone stood up and sat in the warm room behind.

The warm room is very spacious, with several open rooms divided by mahogany carved partitions. Old Mrs. Ji was allowed to sit inside and sat on a concubine's couch. Qin and Old Mrs. Ji sat opposite each other with a short table, and the other women also sat down together.

Only then did Ji Xiaotang have the time to carefully examine the Yang family members.

Mrs. Qin, the wife of the old man, is over 60 years old, and her head is almost white. Because of her sparse head, she wears a fake bun on her head. She is a thin and dry old woman. She sits there and seems to be unable to support her head and body.

Qin's health was not very good, and she would cough after saying a few words.∏∈, her two daughters-in-law and several granddaughters were sitting below, and they did not come forward to serve. The girls in the room were only on the periphery and conveyed something.

Standing beside Qin's side, he was a middle-aged beautiful woman. She was very smart in her hands and feet, served very diligently and caringly.

This middle-aged beautiful woman, who is five or sixty-six times similar to Mrs. Ji’s biological mother, Mrs. Yang Ge Lao’s favorite concubine, Aunt Zhong.

Ji Xiaotang had heard of Aunt Zhong's name, but when he met for the first time, he was still secretly surprised. Based on Mrs. Ji's age, Aunt Zhong is still fifty years old. However, looking at her appearance, she is only about thirty years old at most. Even if she stands with Mrs. Ji, she is easily regarded as a sister of about the same age as her.

Aunt Zhong's appearance and demeanor are much better than Mrs. Ji. Her face is as white as jade, her eyebrows are thin, and her eyes are as if she is a painting of the Jiangnan water town with misty rain.

After seeing Aunt Zhong, Ji Xiaotang realized where Mrs. Ji’s gentle and romantic style that was different from northern women was inherited from.

Such a woman who is not young but still beautiful and is extremely favored in front of Yang Ge Lao, serves Qin. She not only does not have the slightest arrogance or pretentious attitude, but shows her true feelings and concern.

Before she could talk to Aunt Zhong, Ji Xiaotang knew that if Mrs. Ji's appearance was only five-tenths that of Aunt Zhong, then she would only only one-tenths of this kind of mind as a human being.

Qin didn't say much. After a brief conversation, her eyes turned to Ji Xiaotang.

In terms of identity, Ji Xiaotang is the most noble among today's guests, but she is a junior, and she is clearly unwilling to surpass her seniority, so she only sat on the chair under the bed.

Even so, the Yang family did not dare to neglect. Ji Xiaotang's chairs, chairs, footworks, and even teacups and bowls were different from others. This did not seem beyond the reach, but also showed the Yang family's respect for Ji Xiaotang's identity.

"Mr. Anle County..." Qin called Ji Xiaotang the county lord.

"The old lady doesn't have to be so polite. Just call me Xiaotang." Ji Xiaotang said with a smile.

Qin smiled and really stopped calling Ji Xiaotang the county lord.

"...Pianpian often mentions you in my ear, saying that you are good or not, I have wanted to invite you to come to see you in the mansion, but my body is... cough cough," Qin coughed twice before continuing, "I finally saw you today."

Qin asked Ji Xiaotang to sit closer.

Yang Pianpian immediately brought the little girl to come over, brought a chair for Ji Xiaotang, and then helped Ji Xiaotang sit down again. Then she didn't sit back and stood beside Ji Xiaotang, with a rare smile on her face.

Yang Pianpian is a famous Leng Beauty in the capital.

Everyone in the room looked at Ji Xiaotang's seat far away. Seeing Yang Pianpian being so intimate and attentive to Ji Xiaotang, she felt sad, so she pouted slightly, stirring the veil in her hand unconsciously, and her eyes remained unavailable for a moment.

Ji Xiaoqin sat down at Ji Xiaolian's start again. This was a little girl with a very weak presence. She was a little nervous in this kind of occasion and was unconsciously stirring the veil in her hand. Her eyes seemed to be looking around, but in fact she didn't notice anything.

Aunt Xiao is not in good health these days, so she hasn't come with her today. The room is full of people, but Ji Xiaoqin feels lonely when she sits there.

Seeing Ji Xiaotang sitting close, Qin sat up and straightened his body, squinted his eyes slightly and looked up and down, nodding while looking.∏∈,

"I have lived for decades, and this is the first time I have seen such a Zhou Zheng child." Qin said that Mrs. Ji and Mrs. Ji Er were blessed. Then he asked Ji Xiaotang about his birthday and zodiac sign, and what he did at home.

Yang Pianpian also spoke with him and asked Ji Xiaotang what books he had read.

"I said it last time my elder sister came back, and my grandfather was very happy." This refers to the "Tang Poems and Brocade" written by Mr. Yang.

Mrs. Yang sat not far away. While talking to Mrs. Ji Er, she looked at Ji Xiaotang from time to time, looking very carefully.

Ji Xiaotang had already heard the wind, but he knew what was going on, but he refused to show it at all.

"Xiaotang likes to read poetry. In addition to our grandfather, the best poetic talent in our family is Xuan Rang." Yang Pianpian said.

"The only one who loves me is Xuan Rang the most. Our two families are closest relatives, so let Xuan Rang come and meet Mrs. Ji and the second wife." Qin continued to speak.

This is obviously a long time ago. I want Mrs. Ji and Mrs. Ji Er to take a closer look at Yang Xuanrang.

Old Mrs. Ji and Mrs. Ji Er were not easy to shirk. Someone went out and took Yang Xuan in a moment.

It seemed that because the room was full of female relatives, Yang Xuanrang felt a little embarrassed as soon as he came in. His face turned a little red. Qin's eyes were not very good. Before he could see it, Mrs. Yang saw it and gave Yang Pianpian a wink.

Yang Pianpian walked down and pulled Yang Xuanrang up.

"Apart from the elders, they are all their sisters, so don't be so restrained." Mrs. Yang reminded Yang Xuanrang again, and the kindness on her face was fully revealed.

Yang Xuanrang met Old Lady Ji, Mrs. Ji Er and others again, and was then taken to Ji Xiaotang to salute Ji Xiaotang.

Ji Xiaotang was nothing. Yang Xuanrang seemed cramped. He wanted to see Ji Xiaotang, but he was embarrassed. He looked at him secretly, but he was nervously flawed everywhere.

There was a faint, kind laughter in the room.

"I have studied Grandfather's "Jiaojin" since I was a child. Which one do you like the most, sister?" Yang Xuan asked Ji Xiaotang to talk to him in a hurry.

Yang Xuanrang was only twelve years old, with a face similar to his father Yang Shao, and his body was similar to Ji Xiaotang. He was a young man who had not yet grown up. Ji Xiaotang didn't care about him, but he didn't want to be friendly with him. Therefore, after a brief answer, he cleverly changed the topic.

Although the Yang family found an excuse to ask Yang Xuan to come over, it was difficult to keep him among the female family for a long time. So in a while, Yang Ge Lao beat someone to give Yang Xuan over.

Old Mrs. Yang, Qin, seemed to be in a very bad state. After sitting for a while, her face showed obvious fatigue.

"My grandmother is old and in poor health, so she only needs to be kept in the back hall. Even if the guests come to the house, she can't come out to meet. Today, Mrs. Ji, the county lord, you are here. Grandma is happy, so that she can last until now." Yang Pianpian told Ji Xiaotang.

"It's better for me and Mrs. Ji to go inside. Let's talk casually. You are young, let's play freely." Mrs. Yang suggested.

Everyone naturally obeys.

Mrs. Yang stood up with Aunt Zhong's shoulder and went inside with Mrs. Ji. On the Ji family, Ji Xiaoyun and two girls followed her in to serve.

Outside here is Mrs. Yang, and Mrs. Yang II brought people to entertain Mrs. Ji Er, Yao and others. Mrs. Ji and Grandma Ji are both aunts of the Yang family, so they are naturally more casual.

Yang Pianpian invited Ji Xiaotang out and said that he wanted to take her to the garden for a walk.

Yangfu Garden covers a large area, with many strange flowers and trees, clear springs and strange rocks. Although it is a cold winter season, there are some places to see, especially the plum forest in a corner of the garden, which is also very famous in the capital.

Yang Pianpian brought Ji Xiaotang to enjoy the plum blossoms.

"...It only took one snow, and my grandfather told people not to sweep the snow. I kept it there. Although it was not as good as in previous years, it would be more attractive." Yang Pianpian told Ji Xiaotang while walking slowly.

The sparse shadows in the plum forest are slanted, reflecting the white snow, and the artistic conception is quite good.

Ji Xiaotang smiled and nodded, and she could see that the snow in the plum forest not only had not been swept, but should have moved the snow elsewhere here. The scenery in the plum forest is half natural and half artificial. And the artificial is very exquisite.

It can be seen that the owner is a very elegant person.

Walking slowly, a small hill appeared in front of the plum forest, and a small pavilion with green tiles and red railings appeared on the hill.

From the hill down to the top of the mountain is a bluestone path, and people serve every few steps along the path. Obviously, there is someone in the pavilion on the mountain at this moment.

Ji Xiaotang slowed down without a trace. At this moment, she could already see that at the foot of the mountain, it was Yang Xuanrang who was standing with a group of people.

Yang Pianpian took her into the plum forest not only to appreciate the plum blossoms, but also to let her meet Yang Xuanrang again.

Yang Xuanrang also saw Ji Xiaotang and Yang Pianpian at this moment, and immediately came up with people.

"... Grandfather was in the pavilion on the mountain, asking the county lord sister to go up the mountain to talk." Yang Xuanrang bowed.

"So grandfather is here. That's fine." Yang Pianpian was surprised and deliberate, but joy was not pretending. "Xiaotang, grandfather heard that I talked to you and my elder sister, and he had long wanted to invite you to meet and talk, saying that you are his confidant in the book. Although he had not seen you, he had already regarded you as a friend of his age."

Ji Xiaotang then realized that it was not Yang Xuan who asked to see him, but Yang Ge Lao and others who wanted to see her here.

I just entered Yang's mansion and everyone had already met each other in the main hall. At that time, Mr. Yang only greeted her a few words. At this time, he specially arranged a meeting, and I thought he wanted to have a good talk with her.

Ji Xiaotang was also a little curious about Yang Ge Lao, and he had already arrived in front of the mountain, so he naturally could not refuse. Ji Xiaotang nodded happily, and followed Yang Pianpian and Yang Xuan to accompany his siblings. Follow the bluestone path to the pavilion on the mountain.
To be continued...
