The winter sun is shining brightly, shining on people through the glass, making people drowsy.
I was sitting there dozing off when I heard the father and son arguing.
"If you regret your move again, I won't play anymore." Yan Gui pinched a chess piece, frowned and said angrily.
General Yan held a white piece on the chessboard tightly with his hand and argued, "I just put it in the wrong place, it's not a regret."
Wei Yang turned sideways and glanced at the chessboard. Yan Gui's black pieces were in full force, while the old general's white pieces were clearly losing.
"Tsk." Yan Gui snorted coldly, and showed no mercy in front of Wei Yang: "Even if I make you regret this step, you still lose."
"When have I ever lost?" The old general was so angry at Yan Gui that he slammed the table.
Yan Gui held a black chess piece between his slender fingers and gently placed it on the table: "Of course you have never lost. You overturned the chessboard before you lost the game. Who can beat you?"
The old general argued: "I call it war by deception."
Yan Gui sneered, "You can make a scoundrel sound so refreshing and refined, what else is there to say?"
The old general rolled his eyes, turned around and saw Wei Yang deep in thought at the chessboard, and quickly handed the chess pot to Wei Yang: "Girl, come here and beat this little bastard for me."
"It's useless even if you call Wei Yang. The defeat is already decided. How can she come back to life?" Yan Gui stretched out his hand to stop him: "Wei Yang, don't listen to him. If you lose, you lose. He always cheats."
Weiyang squatted down in front of the chessboard, blinked her big eyes and asked: "If I win, can we eat?" She pointed outside the greenhouse, where the kitchen manager had been standing outside for a while.
"Of course." General Yan smiled happily and raised his eyebrows at Yan Gui. He thought, look at the wife your father found for you, a beauty trap is enough to make you surrender.
Yan Gui couldn't help but hold his forehead and was about to give up the piece and admit defeat when he saw Wei Yang reach out and pick up a white piece from the chess pot held by the old general, and it fell on the chessboard with a "pop".
The father and son looked at the chessboard together, and the old general was almost speechless. Yan Gui looked at the chessboard in disbelief. The chessboard was still the same chessboard, and the chess pieces were still the same, but there was an extra white piece in the upper left corner.
One move decides everything, and the team turns defeat into victory. There is no chance for the black piece to make a comeback.
Yan Gui stared at the chessboard for a long time without saying a word. After a while, he reached out and threw the chess piece in his hand into the chess pot, and sighed: "I lost."
The old general smiled brightly upon hearing this.
"You, how could you do it?" Yan Gui asked and then felt ridiculous. It would be strange if the daughter of the Su family didn't know how to play chess.
"Can we eat now?" Wei Yang pouted mischievously, "I'm so hungry now that I can eat a pig."
"Okay, okay, let's eat roasted pig today." General Yan clapped his hands and laughed, and shouted to the steward to prepare wine and food, he wanted to drink three bowls. This round was more satisfying than his own victory.
In the dining room, the old general sat at the top, with Yan Gui and Wei Yang sitting on his left and right.
The huge dining room usually feels cold and empty. Today, with only a little girl, it seems to have suddenly come alive. The maids coming in and out, the servants busying around. The burning charcoal pot, the roasted suckling pig, the aroma curling, the steam rising.
After the meal, the old general forced Wei Yang to play a game of chess with him before he got up and went back to his room to rest, still unsatisfied.
He is old, and he has to leave space for his son. He also wants to have a grandchild soon. Although the little girl is still young, it is not wrong to cultivate feelings early.
