Just arrived at the door, the old housekeeper who had been waiting for a long time greeted him, greeted Qi Rui, and then said to Murong Shuqing, who was surrounded by a group of people: "Miss Shuqing, the master invites you to the study." Miss. His face was very bad, could he be sick again
Qi Zhonglin was looking for her as long as she expected, but he was so embarrassed, how did he see him, and where did he get the energy to deal with him? Sighing lightly, Murong Shuqing said lightly, "I know, I'll go over later."
Entering the inner room, Murong Shuqing asked Lu Yi to find a long lavender dress. Now she is really not suitable for wearing a white shirt and green clothes. In order to make her face look more rosy and energetic, Murong Shuqing also asked Lu Yi to put a light makeup on her, and after some elaborate dressing, she finally made her look no big difference from usual.
Murong Shuqing asked Lu Yi to stay in the courtyard, and followed Yu Jian to Qi Zhonglin's study alone. On the birthday banquet, she knew that this wise old man must have seen something, otherwise she would not let her perform any talent. It's just that she didn't expect that he would find her so soon. He should have checked it out. Today, she will meet the first prime minister who moves the world for a while.
When he came to the door, the door of the study was open, and Qi Zhonglin was sitting on the low table beside him, playing chess attentively. The whole study was very large. The bamboo curtain divided the study into two, and behind it was a whole bookcase. In front of the bamboo curtain, there is a large red sandalwood desk on the left, and a small platform on the right, on which is placed a short table and Go.
The wall of the study was covered with calligraphy and paintings of famous calligraphers. Murong Shuqing leaned against the door and watched it comfortably. Looking closely, on the inner wall, the couplet she wrote during her birthday banquet was actually hanging. Murong Shuqing was a little surprised. She didn't expect that Qi Zhonglin would frame it and hang it in the study.
"Come on, play chess with me." Qi Zhonglin didn't look up, still focused on the chessboard in front of him.
Murong Shuqing stepped into the study and stopped beside Qi Zhonglin. The black and white chess pieces were densely packed on the chessboard, and the white pieces had clearly emerged from the encirclement, and the victory was in hand. She has always been inexperienced in Go. Although the rules are simple, she has a very large space to make moves, which makes Go a lot of changes. In the past, she played against her grandfather, and she had never won. Now, facing Qi Zhonglin, who is already a chess master, she could only reply: "I won't."
A white piece fell, and the outcome was already decided. Qi Zhonglin raised his head, with a smile in his sharp eyes, he met Murong Shu's leisurely face, and said boldly, "It doesn't matter, you can go down as you please. Since you are a successful businessman, you would not A terrible opponent."
She was not as ordinary as she appeared to be. In three years, she had controlled half of EAST's economy, and no one knew that there was Murong Shuqing. He has seen so many amazing people in his life, but it is only in his life that he is so graceful at such a young age.
Murong Shuqing raised her eyebrows lightly, and sat opposite him with a smile. Since he has already checked it out, she doesn't need to be hypocritical. It doesn't matter if she wins or loses!
Go is an intellectual game, and Murong Shuqing has only played it superficially. After playing a few moves, he felt Qi Zhonglin's superb chess skills and ability to strategize. No wonder Go is also called "hand talk". On the chessboard, the ability and charm of a person can already be seen between the chess pieces.
Well, you can't lose too badly. Murong Shuqing thought for a moment. There is a saying in Go that there is a "golden corner and silver edge grass belly", so she should find a way to occupy the corner.
It's a pity that Murong Shuqing found out that Qi Zhonglin had also changed his method after only a few shots. Not only did she not occupy the corner, but she also lost the edge. Judging from the situation on the chessboard, she has quite a few black stones, but unfortunately almost all of them are dead. Murong Shuqing raised his head to look at Qi Zhonglin, who was facing him. He was sipping the fragrant tea lightly.
Murong Shuqing didn't leave until Heizi, Qi Zhonglin held the tea's hand for a moment, and said with a smile, "Are you going to give me your child!" She went down like this and committed suicide.
"If you want to take it, you must first take it!" Murong Shuqing didn't care, she couldn't win this chess game, just don't let yourself lose too badly, to break the rare game is not to break it up first Road, destroy first and then build, she also learns from it.
Her unique play made Qi Zhonglin's eyes shine. Although there were a lot less sunspots on the chessboard, it did open up another world for her. It was just that this didn't make Murong Shuqing turn defeat into victory. A white piece fell beautifully, and Murong Shuqing's black piece had nowhere to go. Murong Shuqing withdrew his hand and said with a smile, "I lost."
"It was a great loss." He has played chess for so many years, and no one has ever played chess in this way.
Great loss? ! Murong Shuqing had nothing to say. Is this a compliment
Qi Zhonglin got up and went to the couplet that Murong Shuqing wrote for him on the birthday banquet. He was very handsome and elegant, and he couldn't write such a character without ten or eight years of skill.
"Who are you?" As he stroked the delicate silk paper, Qi Zhonglin's vigorous words were loud and clear, and he was not allowed to be misunderstood or deceived.
Murong Shuqing didn't intend to hide it at first, and replied calmly: "I'm not Murong Shuqing. I didn't belong to this place, it was just an accident, and when I woke up, it was Murong Shuqing's body. Find a way back."
"What about Qing'er?" Qi Zhonglin sighed and closed his eyes in pain. He had already guessed that the woman in front of him was not Qing'er, but hearing it with his own ears still made his heart hurt like a needle. Yue'er had already left him. Could it be that Qing'er, who continued her blood, couldn't accompany him
"I don't know." This kind of travel is also unknown to her. The real Murong Shuqing may travel to another time and space like her, or she may have already died. Seeing Qi Zhonglin's sad look, she really does not know. Have the heart to say it.
Murong Shuqing wanted to say something to comfort the sad old man, but he had no position. Maybe it would be better not to see her. Murong Shuqing said in a low voice, "Tomorrow I will move out of Qi Mansion."
It's not that Qi Zhonglin hasn't heard of such a bizarre thing, but it just happened to Qing'er, and he still can't let it go. Although the elegant woman in front of her is not Qing'er, she can see Yue'er's talent and splendor, as well as her own unique calmness. He admires and likes this woman, Qi Zhonglin sighed: "Since you will come here, you must You have a relationship, Yue’er’s Pinecui Lodge is very suitable for you, stay here.”
Saying anything at this time didn't make much sense, Murong Shuqing got up and said goodbye. Qi Zhonglin had calmed down his sadness and waved to her. The two sat down a few short distances, fragrant tea and water, and were speechless for a long time.
"The battle between Cang Yue and Dongyu is inevitable, and the Murong family will definitely be involved, are you prepared?" With the current situation, he had to worry about her. War has never been just a battle of tactics on the battlefield, fighting and sprinting, but also a contest of national strength. No matter how powerful a general you are, no matter how powerful an army is, it will be impossible without food and grass.
As the largest owner of grain and cloth in the East, the Murong family has kept a low profile, but its strength has become the target of the court's attention. If the Murong family has any reservations, it will definitely cause dissatisfaction in the court; if they help, then the strength they show will become a problem for the royal family, and they must be eliminated quickly.
This is very likely to put the Murong family in a dilemma, is the little girl ready
What Qi Zhonglin said, Murong Shu had thought about it in the early morning, "From the time I took over the Murong family, I knew that there would be such a day, and I would not let it become a disaster for the Murong family. On the contrary, if the opportunity is right, this will be It will be the Murong family's death-free gold medal. The emperor is also a wise man today, and he has decided to mobilize the national treasury food. If it is not necessary, don't disturb the people, so the Murong family will not face the court for the time being. "
Water can carry a boat and capsize it. The Murong family's family business may be feared by the royal family, so she can also make it a force that the royal family has to rely on. Only in this way, the relationship between the Murong family and the royal family will become complicated.
"You have even arranged people around the emperor!" It is difficult to arrange a few people in the court and the palace, and it is even more difficult to arrange one person among the people close to the emperor. Regarding the mobilization of food and grass, the emperor secretly summoned the prime minister to discuss matters last night, but she already knew that Qi Zhonglin had to treat her differently.
Looking at Qi Zhonglin's thoughtful, complicated eyes, Murong Shuqing gently stroked the rim of the cup and replied lightly, "The court situation is unpredictable."
Good gentleman is unpredictable! With pride and praise, Qi Zhonglin said aloud, "Okay, she deserves to be my Qi Zhonglin's granddaughter."
Murong Shuqing was slightly stunned, didn't he already know that she wasn't...
Seeing that she was still dumbfounded, Qi Zhonglin pretended to be angry and said, "Why? Don't want to?"
Did he admit that she was also his granddaughter? Murong Shuqing came back to his senses, hurriedly bowed his body, and said in a low voice with excitement and choked sobbing, "Thank you, Grandpa!" On Qi Zhonglin, Murong Shuqing could feel his grandfather's breath, and Qi Zhonglin's care and affection were inadvertently revealed. , and he can speak freely like a teacher and a friend, Qi Zhonglin's admission brings warmth to her heart.
Qi Zhonglin laughed heartily, picked up a white stone, and said in a provocative tone, "Next game?" It's not because of how good her chess skills are, or if she plays chess with her, she can always play chess with some ingenuity.
Murong Shuqing looked at Qi Zhonglin's childish smug expression with a funny look, and sure enough, there was only a thin line between the old man and the child. Murong Shuqing came to the table, grabbed Heizi, sat down opposite him, and replied simply, "Why not." He dropped Heizi neatly.
Outside the house is already the branches of the moon, and in the quiet courtyard, the old and the young in the shadow of the simple window are still enjoying themselves.
