When Jiang Yanling went back with a snack, the play also came to an end. He bowed to a few people, wiped his sweat and retreated.

Mu Xiao'er had no intention of watching the play, her mind was all on Xie Yingyun, her cheeks were as red as the lip she was biting, and her fingers were twisted in the corners of her sleeves, looking like a girl with spring. Jiang Yanling sighed gloatingly, but it was a pity that the little grandfather Xie didn't ...... at all

Xie Yingyun suddenly looked at her sideways.

She was excited, and said that this person had a third eye or could read minds, so she quickly pretended not to see it and walked to Xiao Douding's side.

"Xiao Ling'er, how do you see my orange peeling?" When Douding saw her coming, he excitedly spread his palms to her to ask for credit.

She glanced at the orange that was peeled like a sunflower, and exclaimed: "I never thought that your cultural attainments are average, but your artistic attainments are expected in the future." ”

He lifted his chubby chin: "That's nature. ”

Xiao Er greeted him with a smile: "The play is over, I wonder how many distinguished guests can have the heart to answer a little question here?" ”

Madame raised her eyebrows: "What little question?" ”

"Mrs. Hui, this is our new program, and we will draw up a small question every month for diners to tell after dinner. If any guest answers well and well, how much silver taels are eaten at this meal, how much will be returned to that guest. ”

"Tell me about it."

Xiao Er's jaw answered, and at the end he straightened up slightly, clearing his throat decently:

"A guest plays against an unknown person. Your chess skills are superb, but you didn't play well that day, and you see that you are going to lose, I don't know what your guests will do? ”

Madame was not interested, and her tone was flat: "If the difference between abnormality and noness is not large, then it doesn't hurt to lose." ”

Xiao Er sneered: "Madame is so generous." ”

Mu Xiao'er hurriedly said: "Exactly." Xiao'er also thinks that the gentleman is upright, has no regrets when he loses, and plays abnormally or not, and is also in winning or losing......" He added, "And the so-called chess is a leisurely state of mind, so why pay too much attention to winning or losing?" ”

Jiang Yanling secretly rolled his eyes. The words are not wrong, but she said them, how can they be heard and sarcastic.

"Mu Qianjin also has a gentleman's style." Xiao Er also flattered Mu Xiao'er perfunctorily, and looked at Xiao Douding again, "What does Young Master Mu think?" ”

Douding was originally gnawing on oranges, but when he heard it, he was stunned for a moment: "Me? I thought with my head. According to his playful personality and fear of learning, he probably began to wander as soon as he heard the word "answer".

Mu Xiao'er smiled unceremoniously with her lips covered.

Xiao Er was also stunned when he heard it, and then he found a word to praise: "The young master is really ......."

Dou Ding blinked and looked at him, and then looked at Mu Xiao'er who was smiling over there, and then realized that he had said the wrong thing, and his little face became bitter.

"Children have few thoughts, don't worry." Mrs. Xie unexpectedly made a round and looked at Jiang Yanling with a smile, "It's you who serve." How do you deal with your master? ”

Jiang Yanling was originally deserting without caring about herself, and she was confused when she asked, her first reaction was not to say that her chess skills were superb, Xiao Douding's mental skills were estimated to be not good at even flying chess, and she didn't need to deal with this kind of unwarranted situation......

But she certainly can't be so black about her master. If you follow the crowd and say something righteous and awe-inspiring, I'm afraid it won't please you.

She turned her eyes to Dou Ding for help, only to know that he was also looking at her pitifully.

She broke out in a cold sweat as she quickly went through the script she knew. The chess game will be lost, how do the heroines deal with it?

Play chess. There seems to be a plot in the previous script, saying that the male protagonist will lose a chess game, and the female protagonist lifts the entire chessboard in order to protect his face, but the male protagonist not only does not blame, but also loves her even more...... Something.

"Girl?" Xiao Er saw that Jiang Yanling didn't speak, so he called her again.

She was a little sure in her heart, so she straightened out her expression and said, "The master loves cats, and at the end of the year, he will ask the master for one and keep it in the back room." ”

"This ...... What does it have to do with playing chess? Xiao Er was dumbfounded, wondering if the two masters and servants were not very good at their brains.

"I'm not done yet. If the master loses a chess game, I will pluck the cat and make it overturn the board. Jiang Yanling was calm and composed, "In this way, the master will not lose the chess, and the opponent will not deal with the beast, so there will be no loss or win in this game, and it will be over." ”

Xie Ying's eyebrows moved slightly, and he raised his eyes to look at her.

"It's really a villain's opinion." Mu Xiao'er sneered, "The chessboard is about fairness, and it's a shame that you can come up with such a method." Do you know what to win and lose? ”

Jiang Yanling tried not to provoke her: "Ling'er doesn't understand winning or losing chess games, but she understands winning and losing the overall situation." ”

"Oh?" Mrs. Xie suddenly laughed, but there was no smile in her eyes, "Tell me, what is the overall situation of winning or losing?" ”

"Since the opponent is not familiar with the master, he must not know much about the master's chess skills. If it is an acquaintance, it can be seen that the master is playing abnormally, but if an unfamiliar person sees it, I am afraid that the master's chess skills are so poor. ”

"So what, it's not good to come back next time, so you have to make such indiscriminate means?" Mu Xiao'er naturally wouldn't let her go easily.

"There are two purposes for playing chess, one is to discuss chess, and the other is to discuss things in chess." Jiang Yanling said, "If it's just the former, it's true that as the eldest lady said, it can be confirmed with strength next time." But when playing chess with people you don't know, the latter is still the case.

"If you talk about chess, your opponent will not only look at the chess method, but also the strategy. It's just that the chess technique is underestimated, and it doesn't hurt, but if the master is looked down upon, I'm afraid it's going to be ruined, and I'm afraid there will be no second chance. ”

After her words fell for a moment, Mrs. Fang slowly stroked her palms twice, and Xiao Er's gaze changed from surprise to approval.

She let out a long sigh of relief, knowing that these masters were about satisfied.

"What if I didn't have that cat." Xie Yingji's eyes burned, "If you don't have that cat to stir up the situation for you, what should you do?" ”

"Then Ling'er used the excuse of serving tea and went to overturn the chessboard by herself." Jiang Yanling said casually, "The lord is honored and the master is humiliated, and the master knows Ling'er's intentions, so he must not make the opponent too embarrassed Ling'er." ”

His eyes were playful, but he didn't say much.

"You girl is interesting," Mrs. Xie slowly withdrew her gaze and smiled at Xiao Douding, "I don't know where the little young master got the treasure from." ”

Douding was embarrassed to get up: "...... in the garden of the house"

Mu Xiao'er was already at odds with Jiang Yanling, but when she saw that she was appreciated, she was so angry that the corners of her sleeves were clutched into dried pickles, and she had to endure it on her face: "This maid is a little more verbal, and she doesn't know how rude she is on weekdays." ”

Madame smiled noncommittally. She originally looked at Jiang Yanling with only a trace of doubt in her eyes, but now she has a little more estimate.

"What an ingenious girl." Xiao Er said and looked at Xie Yingyun, "I don't know what Grandpa thinks?" ”

The latter is breezy and calm: "I don't know how to play, so I don't need to think about it." ”

The cigarette that has just finished a long speech: "......"
