Mrs. Murong wanted to get close to Yuan Jiaojiao, but she had no way.

Ji Yanning didn't want to help her at all, not to mention that it was just a family matter of Murong Mansion, but if Yuan Jiaojiao was willing to be close to Murong Mansion, she could understand it to some extent, but Yuan Jiaojiao had already made up her mind to be in Yuan Mansion, as a friend, how could she shake her choice?

No matter how they got to this point in the first place, it was all caused by the people of Murong Mansion.

Murong Yixue's current appearance seems to be just out of hard work, wanting to fulfill her mother's wish to beg Ji Yanning like this, if she doesn't want to say it anymore, it seems that she is deliberately embarrassing Murong Mansion.

Before Ji Yanning could speak, Ji Lang, who was on the side, said: "Why do you want to ask Sister Yuan what she likes to eat?" Sister Yuan has never been a picky eater, she said that she used to be a beggar, she had eaten all the leftovers and dirty buns thrown by others on the side of the road, and she didn't do anything like grabbing food in the dog's mouth, so as long as there was food, she would be very happy. ”

When Mrs. Murong heard Ji Lang's words, her face changed greatly, and her sorrow came from it.

She knew that her daughter must have suffered all these years, but she didn't expect that she would still live such a hard life, snatching food from the dog's mouth?

The thought of this made her heart hurt so much that she couldn't breathe.

Ji Lang continued: "Maybe it's because this Murong sister lives a life of fine clothes and fine food, so she is qualified to pick and choose. But Sister Yuan and Sister Murong look so similar, why did she live so miserably before?"

The little boy seemed to be just a simple question, but it made Murong Yixue's face a little embarrassed.

Isn't this just accusing her in disguise?

"Lang'er, don't be rude. Ji Yanning Zhengse interrupted Ji Lang's words.

Ji Lang looked at Ji Yanning with a puzzled expression, and obediently closed his mouth, but his mouth was cocked high, as if he was a little aggrieved, as if he didn't know what he had done wrong.

Ji Yanning said to Murong Yixue: "I'm sorry, my younger brother is young, some of his words are just unintentional words, if he collides with Miss Murong, I will make amends on his behalf, and I hope Miss Murong doesn't take it to heart." ”

When Mrs. Murong heard their words, she was even more thoughtful.

If it weren't for Yixue's mistake, Jiaojiao wouldn't have suffered so much, and now she doesn't even recognize her relatives, in comparison, Murong Yixue has lived a rich life for so many years, and she is obviously a twin sister, and her circumstances are indeed so different.

Mrs. Murong didn't know why, she could suddenly feel why Yuan Jiaojiao rejected herself so much.

Her heart ached.

Seeing her mother like this, Murong Yixue looked at the two sisters and brothers, and said, "Jiaojiao suffered so much before, it's all my fault. That's why my mother and I thought we should try our best to make up for her, and as a good friend of Jiaojiao, you should also want her to have a better life, right?"

"Sister Murong's words are so unreasonable. Ji Lang said, "Sister Yuan is doing well now, why should she make up for it? If she doesn't show up when she needs it most, what's the use of making it up when she doesn't need it anymore? It's like a person who has survived the winter in rags and has sent him a thick padded jacket in the summer, which is just a burden to him." ”

Being scolded by a child like this, Murong Yixue's face was a little embarrassed, and she scolded lightly: "What can you understand as a child!"

Ji Yanning said: "Mrs. Murong, Miss Murong, I'm really sorry, we still have something to do, so I won't bother you." ”

Saying that, he saluted slightly, took Ji Lang around them, and went in the direction of the guest house.

Leaving their mother and daughter standing in place, each with their own thoughts.

Ji Yanning took Ji Lang to the guest room arranged in the temple, and the little monk quickly asked people to deliver a meal.

This room is a place for pilgrims to rest in the temple, and it is quite quiet.

Ji Yanning and Ji Lang sat down, and she asked Ji Lang, "Did you do it on purpose today?"

The words he said made Mrs. Murong's mother and daughter a little unable to get down the steps.

Ji Lang said indifferently: "My sister doesn't like them, and I don't like them either, they want to deliberately embarrass you, so I won't let them get their wish." What's more, they keep saying that they want to be good to Sister Yuan, but in fact, it's just for their own selfish desires. That lady wanted to reassure herself, and that Miss Murong wanted to maintain her reputation, others couldn't see it, and her sister must know it. ”

Ji Yanning listened to his analysis, but it was a little unexpected.

She stretched out her hand and touched Ji Lang's forehead lightly, and said, "How can Lang'er see so clearly?"

He is eight years old this year, and he is already much smarter than ordinary children, but Ji Yanning still has a faint worry about his intelligence.

I don't know if this is good or bad, but the Ji family really needs an excellent heir.

Ji Lang said: "I said that I would work hard to become stronger, so that I could protect my sister." ”

Ji Yanning chuckled and nodded with satisfaction.

Today is the death day of his parents, Ji Lang's mood is very low, Ji Yanning can see that he misses his parents.

It has only been a year since Ji Tingsheng and Liu Xi'er died, and it is normal for Ji Lang to miss him like this.

After the meal, Ji Yanning and Ji Lang walked around the temple together, the temple is the place of Buddhism, listening to the chanting of the monks, it can make people calm down.

Ji Yanning was very familiar with Huguo Temple, so he was not afraid of getting lost when he walked with Ji Lang, and kept walking in the direction of the back mountain.

"Sister, there's a pavilion in front, let's go rest for a while, shall we?" Ji Lang was young in the end, and he was a little out of breath when he left.

Ji Yanning bowed his head and walked towards the pavilion with him, Ziyu and the little servant.

The pavilion is halfway up the mountain, and the wind blows, giving people an extremely cool feeling, and if it is summer, this is a great place to escape the heat.

"Sister, there's a game of chess here. Ji Lang entered the pavilion and saw a chessboard on the stone table, he stepped forward to take a closer look, turned back to Ji Yanning and said, "It's an endgame." ”

Ji Yanning took a closer look, and sure enough, it was a chess game that had not yet been played, she said: "Xu is someone else's chess game has not finished playing, come back and continue to play later, don't move." ”

Ji Lang nodded obediently, sat on the stone bench, and looked at the game of chess seriously.

White and black are criss-crossed, and it was also after a fierce battle to form the current situation, and now white is balanced, as if it is a dead end wherever it goes.

Ji Lang couldn't help frowning slightly, and he couldn't think of a solution to this situation.

Ji Yanning looked into the distance, a little distracted, and suddenly heard Ji Lang say: "It seems that this white son is bound to lose." ”

His chess skills were taught by Ji Yanning himself, although he is not very good yet, but he already has a certain insight into the chess game.

Ji Yanning came back to his senses, looked down at the endgame, chuckled, and said to Ji Lang: "Baizi may not lose. ”

"Sister has a way?" asked Ji Lang with some surprise.

Ji Yanning said: "How does my sister teach you on weekdays? From the style of chess, you can see the general temperament of the chess player, these two chess players are aggressive, you always have this momentum of not admitting defeat in your coming and going, and you are easy to be taken away by their chess path when you watch chess." It is said that bystanders are clear, if you can jump out of the limitations, you may be able to find another world. ”

She is used to teaching Ji Lang to play chess on weekdays, but when he asks him like this today, it seems that she has restored the momentum of a teacher, although it is gentle, but every word can make people listen carefully.

Ji Lang was said by him and nodded: "Lang'er knows." To deal with such a strong person, we should adopt a roundabout method, the enemy advances and retreats, and then tries to trap him into his own trap, so that the chess game can be broken. ”

Ji Lang couldn't help but say that, so he held the white child in his hand and fell to an inconspicuous position.

And throughout the game, the pattern began to change.

"Good!" came a clapping voice behind him.

Ji Yanning and Ji Lang, who were resting in the pavilion, were slightly stunned, and glanced back at the two brocade young men standing outside the pavilion.

One of them, Ji Yanning, knew that it was the second prince Rongyu.

And the other man, who looks younger than the second prince, about seventeen or eighteen years old, sees that he is dressed extraordinarily, and can stand side by side with the second prince, and his status is not low.

She got up and saluted the second prince and said, "The people have seen His Royal Highness the second prince. ”

Ji Lang followed Ji Yanning and saluted.

The second prince glanced at the pair of sisters and brothers, with a faint smile on his face, and said: "No need to be polite, my fourth brother and I are just idle to walk here, this chess game is what we just played, and it was already in a stalemate, but I didn't expect Miss Ji and Ji Xiaogongzi to be superb in chess, but it makes me ashamed." ”

He pointed out the identity of the four princes, and Ji Yanning immediately saluted the four princes.

She said: "Your Highness has praised it falsely, but it is just opportunistic, and Your Highness doesn't blame us for using the chessboard without permission." ”

Ji Yanning spoke neither humbly, nor arrogantly, nor flatteringly, and seemed to have a hint of alienation, but the fourth prince asked with interest: "Which house is this girl from?"

The second prince said: "She is a cousin who lives in the Shilang Mansion of the Ministry of War, it seems that she is from Jiangzhou, and the blindfolded immortal carrying the sword at the last poetry meeting was done by this Ji girl, but I didn't expect her to not only throw pots well, but also to be so superb in chess." ”

Speaking of the pot throwing game at the poetry meeting that day, a girl used a blindfolded immortal back sword, which surprised many people, so many people knew about it.

The fourth prince had heard of this, but now when he saw Ji Yanning, there was no way to compare it with the person who could use the immortal sword in his imagination, because in his imagination, if he could have such skills, he should be a relatively thick general.

But Ji Yanning looks extremely weak, and she doesn't look like she knows martial arts, maybe it's really as rumored that her luck is extremely good.
