Xi Feng thought about it and firmly asked Xi Tongfang to take Suping with her.

Cheng asked Xi Tongfang and Ruan to talk to. Jiang Zhenfeng and his son were not good at entering the inner courtyard, so they must stay outside the second gate to wait. If someone from the big room bullies Xi Tongfang and Ruan, there will be only Su Xin around him, and I am afraid that they will not be able to protect them.

Suping is a maid, so she followed her into the inner courtyard. There were two people protecting the Ruan couple, and she was not afraid that the people from the big house would bully them.

Also, Su Ping is a maid of the Chu family. Wang and Cheng have seen each other. With her around, Cheng dared not do too much.

After seeing off Xi Tongfang Ruan's family, Xi Feng lost the mind to practice martial arts and went to Pomegranate Garden to talk to Xi Ming.

All the family affairs were kept from Xi Ming.

Xi Ming knew nothing.

The weather is good today, the sun is shining, and the sun is warm all over. After Xi Ming finished breakfast, he sat under the pomegranate tree in the yard and played chess with A Meng. Xiaojiu watched from the side, watching and learning.

Xi Feng walked in, looked at Jingyi's peaceful A Ming, and smiled, "A Ming, you are teaching Xiaojiu to play chess again."

"I have been studying for many days, but I can't play chess pieces." A Ming curled his lips and glared at Xiaojiu.

Xiaojiu said aggrievedly, "Young Master, if you ask the slave to wash clothes, cook, clean and make beds, you can do anything, and even let the slave sew clothes, quilts and shoes, you won't even blink your eyes. But playing chess, young master, this is something that only the masters can do. How can a servant learn this if he is a servant?"

"Ameng can do it." A Ming hummed, thinking that Xiaojiu didn't study hard.

Xiaojiu was so aggrieved that he explained, "Young master, A Meng can recognize words and write, but the slave cannot even recognize the words on the chess piece. How to play chess, Young master, you should spare me. Otherwise, let me do more work and do all A Meng's work, and the slave is willing to do it."

He would rather work than stand here to learn chess.

How can I learn if I don’t even recognize chess pieces?

The young master taught him many times, but he just couldn't remember it.

Seeing Xiaojiu who looked aggrieved, Xi Feng smiled and said to A Ming, "Isn't A Meng playing chess with you? Just let Xiaojiu go. Since he doesn't like it, let him do more work, so A Meng can also spare time to play chess with you."

"Sister, I'll get tired of playing chess with A Meng." Xi Ming glared at Xiaojiu with a grudge against him. However, for the sake of A Sister's plea for him, A Ming waved his hand and said, "Okay, go and make a pot of tea for the lady, so I won't let you learn chess. From now on, you can be harder and do more work."

"Thank you, the young master, for sympathizing with the slave. I will definitely work hard in the future." Xiaojiu was grateful and bowed to Xi Feng again, "Thank you, Miss, for pleading with me."

"Well, go ahead, I'm really thirsty."

"Yes, Miss."

Xiaojiu ran away as if afraid that Ah Ming would change his mind.

Xi Feng sat on the free chair, watching A Ming and A Meng playing chess, no longer making a sound.

When Xiaojiu brought the tea over, Xi Feng drank the tea quietly, watching A Meng and Xi Ming fighting each other on the chessboard with equal competition.

So, one morning passed like this, Xiangming came over and asked, "Miss, it's lunch time, should the food be placed in the eldest master's yard or go back to the peach garden?"
