Chapter 173: Revealed
Rong Jun was very happy to listen to the words of the general's wife, she liked her mother the most, and heard others praise her mother for being beautiful, and said that she was eight points similar to her mother, so her heart was naturally beautiful.
She is also the least good at observing words and feelings, so what the general's wife said, she only listened to the superficial meaning.
"Madame's praise, my mother's beauty and Ajun can't match it."
When the general's wife heard her words, she just nodded, looked back at Rong Wan again, and her tone was even more gentle than Fang Cai, "You guys are tired of shopping in the mansion, so sit down and rest first!" β
Rong Wan answered, glanced at Rong Jun, and the two sat aside.
Qin Moyang didn't speak when he looked at this scene, the atmosphere was frozen here, Murong Yurao was watching from the sidelines, a little stunned, so he had to cough dryly twice, and said sweetly to the general's wife, "Uncle, I heard Ah Yang say that you love to play chess." β
The general's wife smiled, "It's not much love, it's just an interest." β
Murong Yurao nodded, and then said, "Among our juniors, Ah Wan's chess skills are the best, my aunt is not as good as Ah Wan's next game, and my mother also praised Ah Wan's good chess skills!" β
The general's wife looked at Rong Wan lightly, and said without saltiness or lightness, "Really?" β
Murong Yurao nodded hurriedly, for Rong Wan, she was sincere, so as long as Rong Wan showed up and was beneficial to Rong Wan, she was more positive than Rong Wan.
The general's wife turned her head, as if she remembered something, looked at Murong Yurao, and said with some uncertainty, "What has your mother been busy with lately?" How do I remember that she seemed to be running a girls' school? β
Not long after she returned from Luoyang, she didn't know much about Bianjing. And Mrs. Changping Hou opened a women's school, she seems to have only heard some rumors, and whether it is true or not, she doesn't know at all, it just so happens that Murong Yurao is here today, and when she thinks of it, she asks, which is better than the people outside know.
Murong Yurao nodded, looked at Rong Wan without a trace, and then patiently replied, "I don't know much either." It may be that the mother is a little boring in the house. That's when I thought of starting a girls' school. β
The general's wife understood, so she didn't ask anymore, turned her head to look at Rong Wan, and said directly. "I probably haven't played chess in a long time. Since Auntie's mother praised you for your goodness, I will also come to meet you. Luckily? β
Rong Wan stood up, "Thank you, Madame, for your love." β
She was not humble, after all, Mrs. Changping Hou praised her. If she is not humble and bad, she will lose the face of Mrs. Changping Hou.
And when she heard Mrs. Fang Cai call Mrs. Changping Hou as A's mother, you can hear that her relationship with Mrs. Changping Hou is not shallow, so she has no reason to refuse.
When the general's wife saw that she responded, she looked at Qin Moyang, who was silent, and at this time, Qin Moyang had already been distracted for a long time, and he had no idea about the back and forth in the house.
"Ayan." The general's wife said in a soft voice.
Qin Moyang was stunned, looked at the general's wife a little suddenly, and said softly, "What's the matter, mother?" β
The general's wife looked at her quietly, and only spoke for a moment, "Ah Yang, I plan to play a game with the lady of the Luo family, you go and order someone to move the chessboard over!" β
Qin Moyang didn't rush to agree, just looked at his mother in a daze, seeing that his mother had been looking at her with soft eyes, with a faint color in her eyes, but there was sadness that seemed to be nothing.
Qin Moyang's heart suddenly twitched, she turned her head away, her eyes fell to Rong Wan's face, maybe seeing that Rong Wan was looking at her with a scrutinizing demeanor, she let go of the frowning brow, came back to her senses, and nodded at the general's wife, "Mother wait a minute." β
With that, he went out of the house.
Qin Moyang's abnormality Murong Yurao saw in her eyes, she had known Qin Moyang for so many years, except for the matter of the general's wife, Qin Moyang would be sad, there was no other emotion that would provoke her sadness.
But Qin Moyang's complexion was very different from the past, as if his strength had been punctured for many days, and he was looked at by others, but he put away his feelings in time, and he was as indifferent as before.
Murong Yurao thought in her heart, she knew that something must have happened to Qin Moyang.
And the general's wife, who was Qin Moyang's mother, Fang Cai's gentle eyes that turned to her seemed to know.
The general's wife turned her head and met Murong Yurao's thoughtful face, Murong Yurao saw the general's wife looking at her, as if her heart had been punctured, she couldn't help but blush, and hurriedly lowered her head.
The general's wife disagreed, and explained with a smile, "Ah Yang will leave tomorrow, maybe thinking that he will not see me for a few days, it is inevitable that he will feel a little sad in his heart. β
It stands to reason that the general's wife, as an elder, is too polite to talk to them like this, and a few of their juniors naturally can't stand it, so they hurriedly stood up.
Murong Yurao was embarrassed to speak because she had just been arrested, so only Rong Wan spoke, "Madam Yan zhΓ²ng, it is an honor for our juniors to be a guest in the mansion." β
The general's wife turned her head, looked at Rong Wan gently, and said with a smile, "You are all sensible children, sit down!" β
Several of them answered and sat down again.
When Rong Wan saw the general's wife a few days ago, her face was pale, and she couldn't support it after sitting on the side for a short time, but today she stayed for a long time than before, and although her face was not ruddy, her pale color also faded.
For a moment, there was relative silence in the ashram.
A voice sounded outside the house, and first Qin Moyang walked in and said to the general's wife, "Mother, the chessboard is here." β
After speaking, after a little sideways, the two maidservants behind him came over with the chessboard and carefully put the chessboard down.
The chessboard is made of rosewood, and the noble Cheng dΓΉ is visible, while the black and white sons are made of black jade and white jade, which is very different from the chessboard used when Rong Wan played against Qin Moyang that day.
Rong Wan looked up at Qin Moyang in some amazement, but Qin Moyang didn't squint, and her face was even more unwavering, and she couldn't see anything from her face at all.
After the chessboard was placed, Qin Moyang walked to the general's wife. picked her up with Murong Yurao and slowly walked in the direction of the chessboard, and although the general's wife was supported, she did not see the usual frailty of the sick and weak, and she still walked dignified and elegant, as if the two people beside her were just supporting her.
After the general's wife sat down, she looked up at Rong Wan slightly, "You can sit too." β
Rong Wan nodded and sat down opposite the general's wife.
The general's wife holds the white son. She holds the sunspot.
Kuroko goes first. As soon as the chess game opened, the surroundings fell silent, just looking at the movements of the two people and the tense chess game.
The general's wife looked weak, but she was actually very aggressive. And Rong Wan's offensive is not as good as her. The defense is still very good.
The general's wife did not give her a chance to attack. And she didn't give the general's wife a chance to eat her children.
I saw that the black and white chess pieces on the chess surface were equal, and the chess surface was more and more full, and there were very few gaps. The spectators on the side were very anxious, but the two sides of the chess game were like old men sitting still, very calm.
After half an hour has passed, the black and white chess pieces have already intersected closely, and there is no gap on the chessboard.
Rong Wan slowly stood up, bowed to the general's wife, and said, "Madame's chess skills are exquisite, and Awan is willing to bow down." β
The general's wife glanced at Rong Wan deeply, a little hot, but for a moment, it calmed down, making people feel that Fang Cai's fiery eyes were just an illusion.
"You're only so old, and your chess skills are so exquisite, but you're a chess talent." The general's wife's eyes did not hide her admiration for Rong Wan.
Rong Wan bent down and saluted again, "Madame's praise." β
Murong Yurao came to Rong Wan's side with a smile and said to the general's wife, "Auntie, how is it, it's not me who is boasting, Ah Wan's chess skills are very good." β
The general's wife shook her head helplessly with a smile, and took Murong Yurao's words and said, "It's good, in the future, I will play against talented people and study carefully, and I will have great results." β
Then, he looked at Rong Wan and said, "What else will you do besides playing chess?" β
Rong Wan shook her head, "The others just know a little about the skin." β
She learned chess skills from Luo Qian, since she was a child, she played against her father, right or wrong, her father would carefully explain, and in her previous life, after her father died, she became a husband, and often played with other talented gentlemen, so after this competition, chess skills are naturally more proficient.
Compared with playing chess, other things such as piano painting and the like, she is only a little dabbling, and she can play some simple piano scores, but if the fingering is more difficult, she can only bow to the wind.
Rong Wan is not modest, everyone present can see it.
The general's wife paused, and then asked, "Your mother, she didn't teach you to play the piano?" β
Rong Wan shook her head, as if defending her mother, and said, "Ah Wan didn't like to play the piano since she was a child, and she would have a headache when she heard that she wanted to play the piano, so she was abandoned. β
No one can see whether this is true or false, and naturally no one will verify it.
The general's wife seemed to be thinking about something, paused, and when she came back to her senses, she happened to see Rong Jun's figure beside Rong Wan, and immediately said, "Your mother's piano skills are good, can the little lady inherit your mother's mantle?" β
Rong Jun heard that he was being ordered, so he stood up, leaned forward, glanced at Rong Wan, calmed down a little, and then took the words of the general's wife, "Mrs. Hui, Ah Jun only knows a little about the skin." β
What Rong Jun looks like, Rong Wan knows in the end.
Rong Jun has no sense of poetry and books, and even less of chess, but she is still good at the piano, she has followed Qi's to learn the piano since she was a child, and she played well when she was eight years old, and she would often listen to Rong Jun play the piano at that time.
But when she came back from rebirth, there were many things, so she no longer paid attention to Rong Jun's piano skills.
At this moment, listening to the general's wife, she can also think that in the years when her mother was closed, Rong Jun would often go to the main courtyard, and according to her mother's temperament and Rong Jun's piano skills, she would definitely catch it with one hand.
But since she hadn't heard it again, she didn't know much about Rong Jun's piano skills.
Speaking of which, the two sisters are biased towards their father and the other towards their mother, and as for her brother, none of them have anything to do with it, but looking at the temper of the martial arts, they have learned ten out of ten with their uncle Luo Yin.
When the general's wife heard Rong Jun say this, she naturally didn't ask anymore, looked around the room a few times, and then spoke, "I'm a little tired, so I won't accompany you, you happen to be the same age, go down and play!" β
After saying a word, several people in the room got up one after another, and after saluting the general's wife, they withdrew.
However, Qin Moyang is still in the inner room, and he wants to settle the general's wife before leaving.
Murong Yurao was familiar with Qin Moyang's boudoir, so after getting Qin Moyang's words, she spontaneously led Rong Wan and Rong Jun to her courtyard.
And Qin Moyang was standing in the inner room at the moment, looking at the general's wife with a worried face and said, "Mother, I should be tired after sitting for so long today!" β
The general's wife still looked at Qin Moyang with a gentle smile on her face, and after thinking for a while, she said, "Ah Yang, are you unhappy?" β
After asking a sentence, he saw Qin Moyang's expression frozen, but Qin Moyang moved, walked to the bed, turned her back to the general's wife, and made the whole bed, she never lied to her mother, so although it was difficult to say, she still said word by word, "Mother is really good to Luo's Rongwan." β
The general's wife was silent for a long time before she spoke, "If Ayan doesn't like it, her mother won't see her again." β
Qin Moyang's body stiffened, slowly turned around, looked at the general's wife in disbelief and said, "Mother, what you said is true?" β
The general's wife nodded, "Ah Yang, over the years, it has been you who have been with me, among the graces and graces, although the kindness is the most important, but the adopted daughter is the dearest, Ah Yang, you have always been my favorite daughter, always." β
When Qin Moyang heard this, his heart was mixed, his eyes were sour, and he inadvertently left tears.
She was in the house just now, she didn't say a few words, she was watching her mother's interaction with Rong Wan the whole time, especially her mother's eyes looking at Rong Wan, although it looked no different from usual, but only she knew that every trace of her mother's smile was just right, not cold, not eager, only occasionally when she couldn't control it, emitting a blazing light.
She looked at it at the time, not jealous, but heartache for her mother, so many years, how much torment her mother's heart has been in, so that at this time, she has to deliberately hide her emotions, just to prevent others from seeing it.
As a result, she knew that even if her mother had not raised Rong Wan for a day, her mother's love for Rong Wan would not be less, and it might even be more because of the debt in recent years.
If Rong Wan wants to rob her mother with her, can she still keep her mother?
But she obviously forgot that Rong Wan also had another mother, and it was unknown whether Rong Wan loved her mother or her mother, not to mention that Rong Wan didn't know about it at all.
Qin Moyang calmed down, wiped away his tears, and smiled at the general's wife, "Mother is wrong, Ah Yang doesn't dislike it, she just feels sad for her mother, as long as Ah Yang can see her mother happy, it's the best." β
The general's wife reached out and touched the top of Qin Moyang's head, and said gratefully, "Ah Yang, thank you." (To be continued.) )
