Time flies like a white horse, and in a blink of an eye, it is July 26. The Xiao Mansion is very busy. But no matter when, this side of the plum garden is a quiet place, and Shen Guhong and Wen Yongjie's residence is next to the plum garden, so they naturally have some work.

Although Shen Guhong did not change into new clothes, he also washed his clothes very cleanly, and after cleaning up, he walked towards the plum garden. Mi Fang prepared a lot of good dishes and started working early in the morning. Shen Guhong came, but he couldn't help much, so he sat and played chess with the old lady in the house.

The old lady is already seventy years old, and although his hair is snow-white, he is in good spirits, and he is particularly proficient in chess. Shen Guhong played three sets with her old man, and he didn't win a game, and it was already the fourth game.

"Although playing chess is on paper, but the chessboard is like a battlefield, this is true, on the battlefield, can lead thousands of troops and horses to kill, that is the general, can control the overall situation is handsome. A person who is good at using soldiers is also extremely proficient in chess. Mrs. Liang said.

Shen Guhong grew up in Dakuang Mountain since he was a child, and is familiar with the three theories of Confucianism, law, and soldiers, but he has never really been on the battlefield, and the way of using soldiers is all theoretical opinions. ”

Liang Lao Taijun said: "Chess skills and the way of using soldiers, after the death of Yang Linggong, in the current Great Song Dynasty, I am afraid that no one will be that person's opponent." ”

Shen Guhong said: "What did you mean by Mrs. She?"

Liang Lao Taijun's expression froze, and said: "Yes, She Saihua is indeed a heroine among women, when we were young, we all fought on the battlefield, and I am naturally willing to bow to the subordinates when it comes to using soldiers." ”

When Shen Guhong heard this, he was secretly surprised, Liang Hongxiao and She Saihua were both heroes among the women in the world, and called "two women inside and outside the court", he really didn't expect that the white-haired old man in front of him had also fought on the battlefield, at this time he couldn't help but reverie, what would a person like Liang Taijun look like on the battlefield? If he was on the battlefield, what would he look like?

"Okay, you've lost again!" the old lady couldn't help but smile when the chess pieces were on the board. Shen Guhong's face was full of helplessness, and then in this game, he had already lost four sets.

"You don't need this expression, in this Xiao Mansion, you can play chess with me to such a point, you are the only one, even Jian'er is not as good as you. Mrs. Liang said with a smile.

Shen Guhong said: "The old lady has won the award, if you didn't let the juniors, how could the juniors go down so much?"

Mrs. Liang shook her head: "On the chessboard, I will never give in, compete in martial arts, and I will not cheat, you don't have to be modest." ”

When Shen Guhong heard this, he had to nod his head and accept it, if he said humble words again at this time, it would be hypocritical.

At this moment, Mi Fang walked into the house and said, "Today is Grandma's 70th birthday, Mi Fang doesn't know what gift to give, so she can only rely on her own meager skills, make a few small dishes, and invite Grandma to taste them." ”

Mrs. Liang saw Mi Fang busy in the kitchen early, but she didn't know that she was cooking for her birthday, and her eyes were full of relief at the moment, and she was very happy in her heart, and said with a smile: "What my Fang'er made must be tasted, go." ”

Mi Fang and Shen Guhong saw that Liang Lao Taijun was happy, and the two of them were even happier than Lao Taijun, and the two led Lao Taijun out of the hall and came to the dining room, and smelled the fragrance of those dishes from a distance.

"Well, I didn't expect my Fang'er to have such a craft, this smell makes me have an appetite!" said the old lady with a smile.

After the old lady sat down, Mi Fang began to pick up vegetables for the old lady. For as long as I can remember, Mi Fang has lived the life of an ordinary person, and after going to Dakuang Mountain, it is not much richer than when he was at home, and the ingredients that can be accessed are all ordinary ingredients. It's all simple home-cooked food that she can make, and it doesn't have many tricks of those chefs, but the home-cooked food she makes is much better than those chefs. When Lao Taijun was young, he walked the rivers and lakes, and he suffered all kinds of hardships and delicious food. But the table of dishes made by Mi Fang today is not only a table of dishes, but also a filial piety. When the old lady eats, it goes without saying that it is delicious, and of course there is another different emotion.

"Okay, Fang'er's craftsmanship is much better than that of the cook in the kitchen, well, not bad!" the old lady praised as she ate.

But at this time, Xiao Qing's voice came from outside the door: "Sister Mifang made something delicious, I smelled it from afar, grandmother praised it like this, well, it seems that it tastes better." ”

Mi Fang stood up, opened the door, and saw Xiao Qing and Ying Ting standing by the door, Ying Ting was quite uncomfortable when she saw Mi Fang at this time. Mi Fang pursed her lips and smiled, when she didn't see Yingting's embarrassment, she took Xiao Qing's hand and walked into the room.

"It's Qing girl who is here, come, eat some together, and taste Fang'er's craftsmanship!" the old lady smiled and was extremely happy.

Xiao Qing and Xiao Qing sat next to Shen Guhong, and when Mi Fang took the dishes and chopsticks, they had lunch in this plum garden.

After lunch, Xiao Qing helped the old lady into the house, and the old lady suddenly asked, "The young man who accompanied you today is good, what is his name?"

Xiao Qing said: "His name is Yingting, he is a disciple of Uncle Mo Qingfeng, and a friend of Shen Guhong and Mi Fang. ”

Mrs. Liang smiled softly and said, "I just asked him what his name is, but you said such a lot, it seems that you are interesting to others." ”

Xiao Qing's face turned red and said, "Grandmother knows that my grandson won't hide anything from you, yes, I do like him, I like his righteousness, and I like him to be stupid sometimes." ”

Mrs. Liang said: "I like a person, his good and bad, it's all good, Qing girl, you brought him to my plum garden today, are you afraid that your father will object?"

"My father worked hard for the Xiao family, but for his grandson's affairs, he said that it was all up to me, and I was afraid that the eldest brother and second uncle would oppose it. Xiao Qing's expression became serious, after all, her identity is different, the children of the family have always paid attention to the right family, and now Yingting is really a standard prodigal son in addition to martial arts.

Mrs. Liang said: "Don't worry about this, with your grandmother here, no one in the Xiao family will oppose you, my Xiao family's sons and daughters, you have to live your own style, who cares about the old rules of the world?"

Xiao Qing said: "In this way, the grandson will thank his grandmother first." ”

Mrs. Liang said with a smile: "Go and call him in, it looks good at a glance, but I don't know if I am worthy of my sunny girl, I have to test him." ”

When Xiao Qing heard this, she just smiled, and went out to call Yingting in. Yingting entered the house, bowed deeply to the old lady, and said, "Yingting has seen the old lady. ”

The old lady nodded: "Sit down!"

Ying Ting listened to the order, sat aside in a decent manner, and then said: "Ying Ting came to the Plum Garden today, first, to greet your old man, and second, to ask you to allow me to be with Xiao Qing." ”

The old lady muttered to herself in her heart: "Yes, the courage is not small." It's just that her expression is indifferent, and no one can see what she is thinking, so she just listens to her: "I can promise you to be together, but I don't know how you can take care of the girl in the future?" ”

Ying Ting was stunned when he heard this, his heart was already panicked, he forcibly suppressed the restlessness in his heart, and said, "I will use my life to protect her." ”

Mrs. Liang said lightly: "Anyone can say it with their mouths, but whether they can do it is another matter." ”

Yingting stood up and said, "I don't know how the old lady is willing to trust the juniors?"

Mrs. Liang also stood up at this time, walked to the table, took out a pack of paper-wrapped things, poured it into the teapot, and said lightly: "This is a broken intestine, if you are willing to drink this pot of tea, I will believe you." ”

At this time, whether the old lady was taking the test against Yingting, or taking this opportunity to remove Yingting, Xiao Qing had no bottom in her heart. Because in the Xiao family, although the old lady is a gentle elder, but at the same time, she is also a majestic and high-ranking person, if she is just lying to herself, the purpose is to feel at ease, then the kettle is naturally really broken. The more Xiao Qing thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong, and at that moment she stood up abruptly and shouted, "Grandmother, this tea grandson is here to drink." ”

Regardless of whether it is really broken and scattered, Xiao Qing believes that the old lady will not put her to death, it is because of her that she will compete for tea. It's just that she hasn't gotten the teapot yet, but she saw Yingting's figure flashing, picked up the teapot on the table, raised her head and drank it all, and said, "I've drunk it now, can the old lady believe it?"

The old lady said lightly: "If you drink the broken intestines, you are a dead end, how can you be with the girl?"

Yingting said: "I just want to prove to you that she is not wrong!"

Ying Ting said, blood was already flowing from the corners of his mouth, and the pain in his stomach came, it was really a pain of breaking his intestines. Seeing this, Xiao Qing's face turned pale suddenly, tears were already flowing in her beautiful eyes, and she kept trembling and said: "I hurt you! I hurt you! I was too naïve, I should have known a long time ago, how could I be free if I was born in a family like the Xiao family?"

Yingting smiled hard, blood continued to ooze from the corners of his mouth, and said, "It's okay, I'm willing." ”

When Yingting heard this, he smiled again, then closed his eyes, and then his body softened. Xiao Qing was really disillusioned at the moment, she stood up and said, "Please also ask grandmother to give her grandson death, right?"

Old Mrs. Liang said lightly: "You are the second lady of the Xiao family, is it worth dying for such a person?"

Xiao Qing smiled sadly and said, "He is willing to think that I will die, so of course I am willing to die for him." ”

The old lady nodded: "Well, yes, this is my Xiao family's children!"

Xiao Qing listened, but was stunned. The old lady couldn't help laughing at this time, and said, "Naturally, what he drank was not broken." ”

Xiao Qing was puzzled: "I obviously saw that he had a stomachache and vomited blood, and besides, his breathing was gone." ”

Mrs. Liang said: "If a person who eats 'holding his breath and inducing blood to disperse', if he doesn't have a stomachache, doesn't vomit blood, and has breathing, doesn't that prove that mine is a fake medicine?"

Xiao Qing knew that Liang Lao Taijun had never been the same, but for some reason, she was already worried, just like the old lady had told her that she just had to take the test against Yingting, but when she saw Yingting vomiting blood and falling, she still felt that everything was lost.

"Well, you don't have to worry, it won't take half an hour for him to wake up. Mrs. Liang said.

Xiao Qing nodded, sat on the ground with Yingting in her arms, and waited for half an hour. Seeing this, Mrs. Liang couldn't help but sigh slightly, women who moved their true feelings were very stupid.

Yingting opened his eyes and saw that he was lying in Xiao Qing's arms, so he hurriedly turned over and sat aside. Xiao Qing saw that Yingting was really awake, so she could still take care of other things, and she was speechless with joy.

"Okay, if you can go, go out by yourself, I still have to clean up this house!" Mrs. Liang couldn't help but say.

"Thank you for the grace of the old lady's life!" Yingting didn't know what the situation was, but he felt that he could come back to life, and it must be the antidote given by the old lady Liang, but he didn't know that what he drank was not poison at all.
