The auspiciousness descended from the sky, and the sweet treasure from the farmer was fed by the who

Old Lin laughed out loud, "I'm still the loser even though I can draw with a little kid like you."

"Tianbao admires Mr. Lin's chess skills. Can I ask you to play chess with me next time?" Tianbao felt that she and Mr. Lin were a perfect match. It was the first time she met someone with such superb chess skills.

Mr. Lin happily agreed, "Of course, you can come to the Lin family to see me anytime, I'll be waiting for you anytime."

"Then I will not hesitate to bother Mr. Lin."

"You're welcome. The more you come, the happier I am." After saying this, Mr. Lin sighed again, "I haven't played a game of chess so happily for a long time. I'm very happy today."

"Me too." Tianbao continued with a smile.

Several masters of the Yuan family looked at the two with smiles and invited them to have dinner.

Only then did they realize that it was dark and it was already so late.

Old Mr. Lin refused to keep the meal for him, and after telling Tianbao that she could visit the Lin family anytime, he left with his granddaughter and apprentice.

Li Xiaoning and Mei Jingyan held her arms on the left and right, "Aunt, you are really amazing."

"Aunt, that's Mr. Lin, a famous scholar in Fanyang. He is outstanding in chess and piano skills and has a high reputation among scholars. Yet you fought him to a draw. Aunt, you are also a talented woman, a very talented woman." Li Xiaoning was very excited.

Tianbao patted her head and said, "Keep a low profile, keep a low profile."

Yuan Jiuniang also hugged her and said, "Aunt, you are so awesome." She also followed Mei Jing'an in calling Tianbao "Aunt." She had wanted to call her that for a long time.

Tian Bao pinched Yuan Jiu Niang's face and said, "Our Jiu Niang is also very powerful."

Yuan Zengrou and Yuan Sanlang were still studying their chessboard. After a while, Mei Dalang and Erlang also came. After knowing that Tianbao and Lin Lao were playing chess, they regretted not seeing it with their own eyes.

When the two found out that the chessboard on the table was the one that Tianbao and Mr. Lin had just left behind, they sat down next to it and began to study it.

Yuan Sanniang’s husband’s surname was Meng, and he was the second son of the Meng family. He and Yuan Siniang’s husband also squeezed in to watch.

From time to time, sounds of praise were made.

The group left Tianbao's yard very late. They hadn't figured out what was going on when they left and looked reluctant to leave.

Seeing them like this, Tianbao asked Yuexin to take the chess pieces to their yard intact.

Yuan Sanlang and the others were so happy that they were as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood. They all returned without Yue Xin having to do anything.

The next day

Because today was the day that Yuan Dalang and Zhu Ling'er were going to offer tea, Tianbao did not go. She was still lying in bed and taking a nap.

Li Xiaoning walked in from outside and said, "Aunt, the Yuan family just told us to have dinner later."

Tianbao hummed and rolled around on the bed. "I'm so sleepy. I won't go. You go."

Li Xiaoning thought for a moment and said, "If you don't go, I won't go either. We are not members of the Yuan family, and it would be embarrassing to go."

After a while, Li Xiaoning remembered the purpose of coming. "By the way, I just ran into Su Liaoyun. He asked me to ask when we will go back. He and Xuan Lei and Xuan Yu have been so idle these days that they are almost going moldy."

Tian Bao opened the quilt and showed his head. "It will take a few more days. I haven't finished reading the books in the library. I want to play a few more games with Mr. Lin."

After saying that, thinking that they must be anxious, he continued, "Let them go buy some things first, and buy more specialties from Fanyang to bring back."

Li Xiaoning nodded, "Okay, I understand."

At the Yuan family's side, Old Madam Yuan and the others were sitting and waiting for Yuan Dalang and Zhu Ling'er to come over and serve them tea.

Madam Mei and her daughter Mei Jing'an were whispering to each other and laughing from time to time. Yuan Sanniang glanced at them and smiled.

"Aunt, the last time you came, you brought cousin Ruolan with you, but this time you're a different person. Sigh... It's really fate that makes things different and people are no longer the same."

As soon as Yuan Sanniang finished speaking, the crowd who were laughing and talking suddenly became quiet.

Everyone looked at Yuan Sanniang, especially Madam Yuan, who looked at her as if she was sick.

I heard from Liuniang yesterday that Sanniang is still as mentally handicapped as before.

It seems to be more serious than before. Can't you see that all the Mei family members look unhappy?

What a stick.

"Ahem... Sanniang slept late last night, and her mind is still a little unclear this morning." Erlang of the Meng family quickly tried to make amends.

Mei Jilang chuckled a few times and said, "If your cousin is not thinking clearly, stay in your room and don't come out."

He would never give face to Yuan Sanniang. They didn't have a good relationship to begin with, and she was the concubine's daughter of the Yuan family's eldest wife. She had no self-awareness at all.

"I'm very clear-headed. I'm just expressing my feelings. Forget it. If you don't want to mention her, I won't say anything."

Yuan Sanniang seemed not to notice the sharp eyes of Mr. Yuan and Mrs. Yuan. She changed the subject and said, "This bride really doesn't know the rules. She made everyone wait on the first day.

In the past, the bride had to get up early to cook for the whole family to show her virtue...

I prepared a large table of food for my in-laws early in the morning. Although they said they didn’t want it, as a daughter-in-law, I still need to know my place.”

"Sanniang!" Madam Yuan couldn't help it and really wanted to slap her in the face.

She is just a concubine's daughter, but she still wants her sister-in-law to cook for her? How can she be so shameless.

"Third cousin, you can't say that. You said it was in the past, but the Yuan family is not the same as before. Besides, my eldest cousin is the granddaughter of the Minister's family. She is also a pampered child in her natal family.

It doesn't make sense to work so hard to be virtuous when you come to the Yuan family." Mei Jing'an almost said that she was not favored at home, so she was different from Zhu Ling'er.

"You...! People who didn't grow up around me are different. You're helping outsiders now."

After Yuan Sanniang finished mocking her, she continued, "That's right, she's the daughter of an assistant minister, you have to curry favor with her, just like you did with Ronghua County Lady.

Before, you were just a little farm girl, but you were able to curry favor with the county lady and ask her to take you with her wherever she went. I don’t have this ability, sister.”

Mrs. Mei's face turned ugly, and she really wanted to splash the tea on the table on her face.

"It's a pity that you can't curry favor with her. Not everyone can please my aunt." Mei Jing'an said coldly.

"Auntie is my daughter, does she have any problem with me when you say that?

And from what you said, you seem to be very upset about Mei Ruolan. If you can't bear to leave her, go find her. Otherwise, I'll talk to the county lady and have someone send you over to keep her company."

Mrs. May smiled ironically.

"Sanniang, if you don't want to come back, then don't come back. Do you look down on my daughter?" Old Madam Yuan said in a deep voice.

Yuan Sanniang's face suddenly turned pale and she quickly got up from her seat.

"grandmother…"

"The eldest master and the eldest mistress are here." The maid's report came from outside.

Old Madam Yuan raised her head and looked at her. "After breakfast, you can leave. Our Yuan family is too small to accommodate you."

This is a serious matter. If her natal family dislikes her, how can she gain a foothold in her husband's family in the future?

Yuan Sanniang looked at Master Yuan and Madam Yuan for help, but neither of them looked at her.
