Chapter 91: Fox

"Princess, can you go slower?" Ren Yaoqi's hand was pulled by her, he could only follow her pace, and couldn't help being helpless.
Xiao Jinglin paused, turned her head and glanced at Ren Yaoqi, and slowed down a bit.
Both were speechless along the way.
Xiao Jinglin took Ren Yaoqi towards the guest house of Bailong Temple. When he quickly reached a relatively large independent courtyard, Xiao Jinglin said to Ren Yaoqi: "Leave one or two people by your side, and the rest are waiting outside. I don’t like too many people waiting."
Xiao Jinglin said this very confidently. But it's no wonder that she doesn't have any entourage by her side, just her dress is so ostentatious, people walking outside will definitely not recognize her as the princess of Yanbei Palace.
Ren Yaoqi obeyed her very nicely, and said to the maids who followed him: "Sydney, go and tell Mother Zhou that I'm drinking tea at the princess's house, and Apple will come and serve the rest. People are waiting outside."
Everyone answered yes. Xiao Jinglin continued to drag Ren Yaoqi forward, and Apple quickly followed.
Compared with the one that Ren Yaoqi lived in last time, this guest house is not only wider, but the courtyard is just as you enter the door. Some flowers and grasses are planted in the yard, some are blooming, some are only a few. No species can be seen on a leaf.
There is also a grape shelf in the corner on the left. Under the shelf is a small table made of tree roots. There is a tea tray on the table. Inside the tea tray is a purple sand teapot and several small tea cups. There is also a bamboo beside the table. Rocking chair.
Xiao Jinglin took Ren Yaoqi and walked straight in, but when she reached the main house, she didn't stop, but went around the small opening on the left to the backyard.
After coming out of the cave door, Ren Yaoqi realized that his vision suddenly widened. There is no house in the backyard, but a place like a garden, but this "garden" seems to be unmaintained, with only some unfamiliar wildflowers and weeds growing, and no precious flowers or plants.
"Bah--" A strange cry made Ren Yaoqi turn his head in shock.
I saw a round table and stool made of rough stone on the right side of the back garden, and a little goat was grazing by the stool.
And on that stone stool. A white-clothed boy sat sideways to them.
The boy looked down at the goat eating the grass, his face seemed to be very focused, the soft spring sunshine hit his half of his face, the perfect contour of the face was so beautiful that people couldn’t bear to alarm him and ruin him at this moment. Enron leisurely.
Hearing the movement here, he turned his head and looked over. Seeing that it was Ren Yaoqi and Xiao Jinglin, he was not surprised. They only smiled when they saw them. The sudden smile made Ren Yaoqi's heart beat slightly.
Xiao Jinglin let go of Ren Yaoqi's hand and went to the boy's side by herself, seeing the little goat lightly pressing her head against the stone bench beside her as if wrestling. Xiao Jinglin bent down and grabbed the goat horn in her hand, and pulled it away, pulling it away.
"Hey--" The goat ran to the side. Turn around and bid down.
"This is for you to eat. Don't feed it too much." Xiao Jinglin clapped her hands and sat down with her robe, but it was a pity that she was wearing a skirt and this action could not be completed.
Ren Yaoqi looked at Xiao Jinglin's words and deeds, which seemed to be somewhat different from before. She walked over and bowed to the boy who was looking at her: "Second Young Master Xiao."
Xiao Jingxi smiled and nodded, and gently pointed to the stool opposite him: "Miss Ren Wu. Please sit down."
Ren Yaoqi bowed his head to thank, and sat down.
At this time, a young man dressed as a small servant brought a tea tray and gently put the tea in front of him without saying a word. Then he stepped back silently.
Xiao Jingxi's right thumb gently rubbed the tea cup in his hand, with a small smile on the corner of his mouth, quietly watching Ren Yaoqi.
Seeing him not speaking. Ren Yaoqi didn't speak, and seemed unaware of his gaze. He just bowed his head and drank a sip of tea, but actually only slightly smudged his lips.
The tea cup in his hand is a black glaze with a white peony pattern, which looks very elegant, but Ren Yaoqi knows that most of such tea sets are ancient artifacts and are worth a thousand dollars. The courtyard looks simple and unadorned. The two people in front of them are dressed in a simple and relaxed manner. The tea cups that are casually taken out for hospitality are expensive and luxurious.
Seemingly unable to bear the silence here, Xiao Jinglin patted the skirt and stood up. She frowned and looked at Xiao Jingxi and looked at Ren Yaoqi again, saying, "I'll go to the front yard. Walk around."
Xiao Jingxi turned his eyes and glanced at her, but did not stop speaking.
Xiao Jinglin took a few steps and then stopped suddenly, turned her head to look at the apple sticking behind Ren Yaoqi like a wooden stake: "You come with me too."
Apple glanced at her, then looked down at her toes, nothing happened.
Xiao Jinglin frowned and looked at Ren Yaoqi again.
"Go down." Ren Yaoqi ordered.
Apple lowered its head and followed Xiao Jinglin away.
For a while, only Xiao Jingxi and Ren Yaoqi were left in the backyard, and there was not even one of them waiting. This was originally out of date, but no one would stand up and say it was wrong.
"I've always been very curious..." Xiao Jingxi took the lead in breaking the silence. His voice was low, soft and dumb, not rushing, and his special rhythm could easily attract the attention of others.
Ren Yaoqi put down the tea cup and met his gaze. The bright and pure eyes are clear and clear, like a shallow stream that sees the bottom under the bright spring light.
Xiao Jing paused, and the corner of his mouth smiled slightly: "Ms. Ren Wu is good at walking lights, playing chess, guessing...what else?"
Xiao Jingxi said that the light array made Ren Yaoqi suddenly remember the carriage that he saw on the night of the Lantern Festival and the man in black who had not seen his face clearly.
She couldn't help but look at Xiao Jingxi carefully. The two of them were about the same size. The man was wearing a lot of clothes, so he didn't look thinner than Xiao Jingxi, but if Xiao Jingxi put on a thick cloak... the two looked a little alike and a little different .
However, Ren Yaoqi did not ask such words as "have we ever met before". It was originally because they met and passed by, it was not a friendship.
"Is Zhu Ruomei okay?" Ren Yaoqi asked directly.
Xiao Jingxi smiled slightly at Ren Yaoqi, but said nothing.
Ren Yaoqi thought for a while and said again: "I can also write and draw, all taught by my father."
Xiao Jingxi chuckled and said in a low voice: "He is fine, but he suffered some injuries and his right leg shin was broken.
Is this still good? Ren Yaoqi couldn't help being speechless. But finally she got a sigh of relief with Zhu Ruomei's exact news.
"Thank you Young Master Xiao for saving him." Ren Yaoqi sincerely thanked him.
Xiao Jingxi was noncommittal, but asked, "Why did you send him to Jizhou?"
Ren Yaoqi couldn't help being speechless.
Xiao Jingxi stared at Ren Yaoqi with a smile, and waited patiently without rushing.
"Sorry, this is my housework." Ren Yaoqi bowed his head.
Xiao Jingxi thought for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Let's play chess. If you win, I won't ask, I wish Ruomei go with you. If you lose, you must tell me why and I wish Ruomei will be me in the future. People, life and death have nothing to do with you."
His voice is still calm, gentle and leisurely. What he said made Ren Yaoqi stunned.
However, although the curvature of Xiao Jingxi's mouth was elegant and perfect, it was not like a joke.
Ren Yaoqi's heart was slightly angry, and the smile on his face became more gentle by three points: "Second Young Master Xiao, it's a bit difficult for you to be like this, right?"
Xiao Jing smiled and asked kindly: "Where is it difficult for a strong man? I rescued Zhu Ruomei, otherwise he would have fallen off the cliff and be dead. As for the housework you mentioned..."
Xiao Jingxi glanced at Ren Yaoqi with a smile.
Ren Yaoqi is speechless again.
Since she opened her eyes again, she hadn't eaten at anyone else. But this person is Xiao Jingxi.
Others describe him as being brilliant, brilliant and smart. But now Ren Yaoqi feels that this person must be the essence of fox cultivation for thousands of years.
Ren Yaoqi bit his lip secretly. Xiao Jingxi seemed to know that Ren Yaoqi had already responded. He smiled and said, "Bring my chess."
His voice was not loud, but the little servant who had brought the tea before heard it, and soon came out with a chessboard. There was a man of medium build who was dressed similarly to him walking behind him. Ren Yaoqi raised his head and opened a glance, unable to help but startled slightly.
Dongsheng walking behind the young man with two chess pots in his hand.
Both Dongsheng and the young man gently placed the things in their hands on the stone table without squinting their eyes, and then quietly stepped back. It's just that Dongsheng couldn't help but raised his eyes before leaving, and took a look at Ren Yaoqi.
Xiao Jingxi noticed Ren Yaoqi's gaze, and said with some playfulness: "My little servant Tongxi and Miss Ren Wu also have some connections."
Tongxi? Did he change his name to Dongsheng?
Ren Yaoqi took a few white chess pieces in his hand and looked at it for a while, and found that it was exactly the same as the clam "snow print" she had seen with the master abbot before.
"That's really an honor for the little girl." Ren Yaoqi replied indifferently.
Xiao Jingxi didn't think that he was a pestle, and smiled slightly: "Would it be good for you to hold on to the black?" It was actually with a child's indulgence.
Ren Yaoqi smiled back at him: "No, guess what."
She didn't dare to touch his cheapness, Zhu Ruomei was a lesson from the past.
Xiao Jingxi didn't care, smiled and signaled the beginning of Ren Yaoqi.
Ren Yaoqi casually grabbed a few more white seeds and glanced at Xiao Jingxi.
"Double." He slowly lowered his head and took a sip of tea, without looking at the authenticity.
Ren Yaoqi counted her hands: "It's odd." She held the black.
Mr. Pei is a chess idiot. In his previous life, Ren Yaoqi accompanied Mr. Pei to play countless rounds. He also studied some endgames recorded in the original book with him. The chess skill was honed overnight.
So Han Yunqian is not her opponent either.
However, after only a few moves, Ren Yaoqi felt that Xiao Jingxi was different from any opponent she had encountered before.
He made Ren feel a kind of power on every occasion, not aggressive, but it was inevitable.
