Jing Chen said, "Grandma, please don't lie to me. I came back this time with a surprise for you."
The Queen Mother smiled and said, "Really? Did you find some fun little gadgets to give to Grandmother?"
Jing Chen said, "No, Grandma, I found 500-year-old ginseng. Your illness can be cured!"
The Queen Mother's eyes lit up when she heard this. Who would want to die if there was a way to survive?
Gui Mama also said excitedly: "Third Prince, is what you said true? That's great, this is a great joy!"
The Queen Mother's eyes were red as she said, "Thank you for your hard work, Chen'er. You are such a good boy!"
Jing Chen shouted outside: "Ye Feng, come in!"
Ye Feng walked in and saluted the Queen Mother, saying, "Greetings, Queen Mother."
The Queen Mother smiled and said, "You're welcome. Did you have a smooth journey?"
Ye Feng said, "My Queen Mother, there were no accidents along the way! It went very smoothly!"
Jing Chen said, "Go and have someone boil the ginseng and bring it over. Remember, don't let anyone else interfere. Keep it secret!"
"yes!"
When the night breeze subsided, the Queen Mother smiled lovingly and said, "You have been cautious since childhood, and that's right. In this palace, if you don't harm others, someone will. Chen'er, you must be careful!"
Jing Chen replied: "Yes, grandson remembers it all, grandma don't worry."
The Queen Mother smiled and touched Jingchen's head and said, "I see that you haven't lost weight after your long journey. Instead, you seem to be getting healthier!"
When Jing Chen heard this, a pale, tender, and slightly chubby little face immediately appeared in his mind. He said gently, "I saw a lot of things this time. Plus, I've found the ginseng that grandma needs. I feel relieved. Without any worries, my health will certainly get better!"
The Queen Mother smiled and said, "After going out, I found that you have become more talkative. Tell me, what interesting things happened outside? Since entering the palace, Grandmother has not seen the outside world."
Upon hearing this, Jing Chen told his grandmother about the interesting things he encountered outside. The Queen Mother also listened to her grandson's story with a smile on her face, which was a picture of deep love between grandparents and grandchildren.

After dinner, Qibao and his family went to his grandparents' room to find a place to hang the painting.
After searching for a long time, I still think that the wall on the right side of the entrance is suitable. There are more than a dozen people in the painting, and the area is not small. This wall happens to be empty, so it is just right to hang it.
Uncle Xu Da and Uncle Xu Er stood on the table and hung the painting on the wall. They pulled it and found it was quite firm, so they got down from the table.
The family stood together looking at the paintings on the wall, Xiao Ba and the two white wolves also joined in the fun.
Xiaoliu said, "When my brothers come back, I'll bring them to see it. They'll definitely be very happy!"
After hanging the painting, everyone left the room. Since it was not suitable to go out on a rainy day, the family sat in the front hall and chatted about family matters.
Qibao was feeling bored. Seeing that his grandfather and uncle had nothing to do, Qibao said, "Grandpa, how about I teach you a new trick?"
This sentence aroused everyone's interest, and the old man asked: "Qibao, what's fun?"
Qibao said, "How about we play Gomoku?"
The old man said, "Gobang? I've never heard of it. I've only heard of Go, and grandpa can't play it!"
Qibao said, "It's okay. Gobang is very simple, much simpler than Go. I'll teach you!"
As he spoke, he pulled out a Gomoku set from the study in the space and said, "As long as you can ensure that your five pieces can form a straight line without any opponent's pieces blocking the way, you will win. The straight line formed by the five pieces can be vertical, horizontal, or diagonal."
The old man listened carefully to Qibao's introduction and said, "I roughly understand it. Let's try it first!"
Qibao agreed with a smile. The old man played the black chess piece, and Qibao played the white chess piece. The old man made the first move, but ended up placing it on the edge of the chessboard. Qibao reminded him, "Grandpa, it's better if you place your first chess piece in the middle. If you do that, I can just block one end and you won't win."
The old man quickly took back the chess piece and said, "That's right, Grandpa made a wrong move. I'll take it back and put it back again."
Qibao smiled and nodded. Under Qibao's constant guidance, the old man gradually learned some tricks. This time, Qibao definitely won.
The three Xu brothers were watching. When the game finally ended, the third brother said, "Qibao, let Dad play a round. I understand everything."
Qibao said, "Okay, then you and Grandpa can play! But if you lose, you will be punished!"
Xu Laosan said, "Don't be afraid, I will definitely win. Didn't your grandfather just learn it too? I will definitely win against your grandfather, just watch out, my girl!"
The old man was immediately upset when he heard this and said angrily, "You? You still want to beat your father? Today I will let you see that your father is your father. You still want to beat me? No way!"
The two men began to argue with each other, and sometimes they would quarrel. The quarrel became so intense that Uncle Xu and Uncle Xu II were fanning the flames. Suddenly, Third Xu was so bullied by the old man that he dared not say a word. Seeing his eldest and second brothers gloating behind their father, he looked at his two brothers with resentment in his eyes.
Seeing the quarrels between the masters, Wang scolded them with a smile, "That damn old man, he's already grown up, and he's still making a fuss with his sons. He's really going backwards!"
Qibao said with a smile: "I think this is very good, Grandpa. Grandpa doesn't have much to do normally, and playing chess can make his brain flexible. Look how happy Grandpa is playing!"
Wang said, "He is happy. It is your father who is suffering, and the eldest brother and the others are still helping your grandfather!"
The three sisters-in-law sat aside and started sewing clothes. Looking at the noisy scene and listening to the conversation between mother-in-law and Qibao, they all laughed out loud.
This battle between father and son lasted until dinner time. If Wang hadn't taken the chessboard away, I guess we wouldn't even want to eat.
After dinner, Qibao had nothing to do, so he washed up and went back to his room. Qibao flashed into the space and saw Xiaoling sitting on the grass with two little white wolves lying beside it.
Seeing his master coming in, Xiao Ling immediately went to greet him happily. Two little white wolves also followed Xiao Ling, running over on their four short legs.
Qibao patted Xiaoling's head and said, "These two white wolves have grown quite a bit. They're plump and their fur looks even shinier than their parents'!"
Xiao Ling said, "Of course. I raised them by myself. Since they are still young, they are improving faster than their parents. As long as they drink the spiritual spring water and grow up, they will be even more powerful than their parents in the future!"
Qibao smiled and said, "That's great, thank you for your hard work, Xiaoling!"
Xiao Ling said, "It's not hard. I get bored staying in the space anyway, and having them around helps me keep myself company! By the way, why didn't Bai Shuang and Bai Xue come in?"
Qibao said, "Those two are the ones who are most compatible with my grandfather besides me. I guess they went to play in my grandfather's room."
