Chapter 204 The avenue is long, why should you stick to this one?
"The Duke's wife invited me to come over? But what happened?" Xie Yixiao was surprised, thinking that something might have happened.
The maid said: "I don't know this either."
Xie Yixiao nodded: "Then I'll pack up and go visit the Duke's wife. Do you want to go back now or come with me later?"
The maid said: "Thank you very much, Miss Xie. I will go back and inform Madam first, so I won't disturb Miss Xie."
Xie Yi smiled and nodded, then asked Ming Jing to send him out of the mansion. He turned around and said to the girls: "Everyone, I have something to do today. I need to go to Rong Guogong's mansion, so I can't entertain you. You still have to invite me."
Go back."
A girl suddenly thought about it and asked, "Are you going to Duke Rong's Mansion? I wonder if you can take us with you? I heard that Duke Rong's Mansion is very big, but I've never had the chance to see it."
Xie Yixiao said with a smile: "This can't be done. Since the Duke's wife only invited me, how can she bring others with her? You are almost done today, so go back first. Azhu, don't you still have something to do with Xie You?
You should go and do your own business."
Xie Zhu smiled tenderly: "My aunt still feels sorry for me, so let's leave first. Xie You, Xie Yue, let's go."
Xie You and Xie Yue are indeed a little thoughtful, but they are also smart. They know that the main house has been a little annoyed by these people recently, so they come here every day to help and chat. There are fewer and fewer people busy here.
The matter of Xie Yixiao and Xie Zhu.
Xie Yixiao was quite satisfied with these two people and planned to give something to the two girls after these people left. He would not let their hard work go in vain.
Several people knew that Xie Yixiao wanted to send these people away, so they hurried out the door. The girl from the Xie family in the mountain city no longer had any reason to stay, so she had to say goodbye and leave.
Xie Yixiao changed his clothes, and then took Ming Xin Ming Jing and Qing Luo with him in a carriage to Rong Guogong's Mansion.
Qingluo has a taciturn temperament and is a very aloof woman, but she has always done her duty. Although Xie Yixiao said that she does not need to follow him if he does not go out, but because there have been guests recently, it has been a bit chaotic, so she has always stayed aside.
Ming Jing was attentive and prepared everything for her and arranged her daily life. Although she did not have high requirements for life, she lived a comfortable life and felt good about it. Ming Xin knew that she was powerful in martial arts and even made trouble with her.
Learning martial arts is a bit noisy, but it's not annoying.
A few people get along pretty well.
Seeing this, Xie Yixiao finally felt relieved.
When the carriage arrived at Duke Rong's residence, a maid came to guide her. Xie Yixiao asked about the current situation of Duke Rong's wife: "How is Mrs. Duke recently?"
The maid who led the way said: "Miss Xie, I miss you. Madam is doing well recently. She is just thinking about Miss Xie and wondering when Miss Xie will come over to stay with her."
Xie Yi smiled and said: "That's not my fault. When I have free time in the future, I will definitely spend more time with the Duke's wife."
But that's all I said. She had nothing to do with Duke Rong's mansion, and she really couldn't run here often, lest word spread outside that she was in a hurry.
Everyone knows this matter well.
After she entered the door, someone led her to the side hall of the main room of Mulan Garden. Mr. Rong Guogong was sitting on the wooden couch near the window. In front of her was a table with camellias engraved on it.
A chessboard is placed, and the black and white chess pieces fall on the chessboard.
Beside the chessboard, there was a pot of tea, and hot tea was poured into a tea cup, with tea smoke curling up.
The room was quiet.
When Mrs. Rong Guogong heard the footsteps, she said, "Here you go, sit down."
"Thank you, Madam Guogong." Xie Yixiao gave a slight salute, and then sat down opposite her. Madam Rong Guogong wanted to pour her tea, and she reached out to take it, "I don't dare bother Madam Guogong, I will do it myself."
Mrs. Rong Guogong did not argue with her about this, and let go. Xie Yixiao poured herself a cup of tea, and then added some to Mrs. Rong Guogong.
Duke Rongguo said, "I haven't seen you for a long time. Come play a game of chess with me."
Xie Yi smiled and said: "Just right, I may not be able to stop for a long time."
So the two of them cleared the chessboard, one holding the black stones and the other the white stones, and started playing chess.
Mrs. Rong Guogong held a white seed in her hand and glanced at her. She saw her clear eyes and shallow smile, and then she dropped a white seed.
Xie Yixiao thought about it for a moment and then thought about it.
Duke Rongguo said: "Life is like chess, and one game is like a lifetime. Sometimes if you make the wrong move, you will certainly die, but it cannot be said that you have lost. After all, there is still a long life, and I have not played this game.
To the end."
"But if you make a mistake, you are wrong, and you can't go back and start over."
Xie Yi smiled and said: "The Duke's wife is right. When it comes to playing chess, the important thing is 'no regrets'. Even if you make a wrong move, you can't regret it, let alone look back."
"You still need to look forward in life. The road to life is bright and long. Why bother to be limited to winning or losing."
Mrs. Rong Guogong smiled: "You are in a good state of mind and can see things openly. In this regard, you are a bit like Master Huiyuan."
Xie Yi smiled and said: "How dare you compare with Master Huiyuan? I am just an ordinary person. Master Huiyuan is an eminent monk outside the world. I will not dare to compare with him even if I practice for decades."
"Monks are quiet and comfortable, and regard money and wealth as nothing, but I am different. I think money and wealth are a good thing, which can make me live a comfortable life. I also love to enjoy this life. I can't do anything to cultivate."
Mrs. Rong Guogong nodded and continued playing chess with her.
At the end of the game, Mrs. Rong Guogong lost.
She shook her head and smiled: "As I get older, I am not as quick-thinking as you young people."
"The Duke's wife agreed." Xie Yi smiled a little proudly, like a little fox, "The Duke's wife is old, I think she is still a forty-year-old lady. If she goes out, she will point out
Maybe others still say you are my mother."
"You can say these words to make me happy." Mrs. Rong Guogong laughed loudly and played a game of chess with her. Her irritable mood changed for the day, and it was no wonder that she was so popular.
If Rong Ci hadn't wanted to marry her, Mrs. Rong Guogong would have really wanted to recognize her as a girl.
"Why are you trying to trick you?" Xie Yixiao smiled mischievously, "You are already young, and you said that young people are quick-thinking, but I don't think it is right. Quick thinking only distinguishes between people, not young people and people.
Old people, at best, just don't like to use their brains."
"And people say that having an elder in the family is like having a treasure. After all, the elder lives longer than the younger generation, has crossed more bridges than the younger generation, has rich life experience, and will always be able to handle any problem better than the younger generation."
"Even if you are old, you are still the treasure of the family."
Mrs. Rong Guogong laughed loudly: "You, you, I can't speak to you, I can't speak to you."
Mrs. Rong Guogong has faced a lot of troubles these days, and it is rare to be coaxed into happiness. There is nothing she doesn't like about such a junior.
She smiled, and then talked about Gu You: "I came to you today because I want to talk to you about something. Your cousin came to my place today and said some nonsense.
