Mrs. Gu smiled and nodded, "He is playing chess with your grandfather. You can definitely find him when you go to your grandfather now."
"Mr. Shi's chess skills, are you afraid of losing face in front of your grandfather?" Xie Yunqing blurted out.
Zhenniang answered, "When have you seen Mr. Shi afraid of embarrassment?"
Well, Xie Yunqian nodded.
Luo Hui wondered in her heart, why look at this look, this Mr. Shi and the Gu family seem to have a close relationship? But before Luo Huixin had time to ask anything, Zhenniang led them to Gu Pingzhang's yard.
It had just fallen snow, and servants were cleaning the snow on the road with broomsticks. The firs and green pine are covered by frost and snow, looking far away, a piece of jade tree with branches. The snow was slippery, and a few people walked calmly. Zhenniang introduced Luo Huixin to Gu's courtyard, talking and laughing, and she arrived at Gu Pingzhang's courtyard without knowing it.
"Grandfather's chess is always unpleasant, let's go directly in." Zhenniang said.
Luo Huixin became more and more curious. Gu's family of poems and rituals should have very strict rules. As a junior, how could Gu Zhenniang go in and out of Mr. Gu's yard voluntarily? When I was with Mrs. Gu, the atmosphere was particularly relaxed and lively. Luo Huixin couldn't help but envy her. This kind of atmosphere was something she hadn't experienced in more than ten years of her life.
A few people walked straight in, and there were servants along the way, smiling and greeted Zhenniang and the others, and they continued to work on their own affairs.
When she finally arrived in front of the house, Zhenniang turned her head and said to Luo Hui, "My grandfather lives here." Then she opened the door and entered.
Don’t you need to knock before entering? Luo Huixin speculated.
There was no brazier inside, and the room temperature was similar to that outside. Luo Huixin raised his eyes and saw an old man with white beard and hair sitting face to face with the doctor, and the two were playing against each other.
For the few people who appeared at the door, neither the old man nor the doctor seemed to hear any movement, and their attention remained on the chessboard.
Zhenniang walked over lightly, and instructed the young man to bring the Xiaoxiaozi and Xiaoji over, and then prepare refreshments, and asked her maid to fetch charcoal and a brazier.
Several people sat down around the short couple, holding tea cups to warm their hands. The maid brought the brazier, and within a short while, the room had become much warmer, and a few people put the tea cups down.
When Luo Huixin saw the old man playing chess intently, he looked at the old man with great interest.
The person in front of her is the famous Hongru Gu Pingzhang, who is always mentioned by her grandmother, who is full of admiration.
She grew up listening to Gu Pingzhang's deeds.
It is said that when Gu Pingzhang had not yet been crowned, he fought against the seven bachelors with one person, so that the seven learned bachelors were full of praise.
When the relationship between the Great Zhou and the Southern Qin was bad, the King Rui of the Great Zhou was detained in the Southern Qin as a proton, and Gu Pingzhang served as an envoy to the Southern Qin. In the capital of the Southern Qin Dynasty, Gu Pingzhang was not timid at all, and his words were generous and powerful, so that the monarchs of the Southern Qin Dynasty were speechless. In the end, Nan Qin agreed to release King Rui and shook hands with Da Zhou.
Over the past few decades, the apparent harmony between Da Zhou and Nan Qin has been maintained.
Sometimes the princess also worried that the reason why Nanqin and Da Zhou lived in harmony, and no war happened for so many years, was simply because Da Zhou Wen had Gu Shoufu and Wu Jingguo.
Yasukuni is now sick and wounded, and he has long been unable to lead the war. Gu Shoufu is also very old and he does not know when he will be an official.
In the event of a war in the Southern Qin Dynasty, where would Da Zhou have the ability to parry
Luo Hui was fascinated by her thoughts. Seeing Gu Pingzhang lost her mind, her thoughts no longer knew where to go.
Zhenniang pursed the corners of her lips. It seemed that the young county owner admired her grandfather very much.
The two of them had their own thoughts, and Xie Yunqing watched the two play seriously and shook his head from time to time.
"Do you see what famous hall is coming?" Zhenniang asked softly.
Xie Yunqing said: "Mr. Shi should have been defeated a long time ago. Grandfather has been letting him go, but he hasn't found it yet."
"Let chess?" Luo Hui was stunned and glanced at Gu Pingzhang again. It was really unimaginable, why would such a handsome and powerful scholar deliberately make a move.
You know, when playing against people, the most important thing is to respect your opponent. Blindly giving in to the opponent will only make the opponent feel that he is underestimated.
Luo Huixin's chess skills were taught by the princess. In order not to undermine her self-confidence, the princess also deliberately let her win her by a few pawns.
At first, Luo Huixin would still be complacent, and felt that in a while, his chess skills would be equal to that of his grandmother.
Until one day, Luo Huixin saw his grandmother and aunt playing against each other.
At that time, Luo Huixin knew what a gap was. My sister-in-law was a chess idiot, and her chess skills were top-notch in Luo's family. When grandmother and sister-in-law played chess, she didn't lose the slightest bit of wind, and finally won a few sons of her sister-in-law. It was also at that time that Luo Huixin realized that her grandmother had been letting her.
At that time, she naturally felt that she was despised by her grandmother, she was very wronged in her heart, and she also resisted touching the chess piece again.
Later, when she grew up a little bit, Luo Huixin learned of her grandmother's good intentions, but she no longer liked playing chess, so she was relieved.
Elder Gu wouldn't be ignorant of this truth, so why have you been letting Doctor Shi continue to do so
Xie Yunqing said: "If the two of them are finished playing together, we don't even have to eat dinner."
"Are you paying attention?" The two looked at Xie Yunqing together.
Xie Yunqing blinked and stood up.
"Don't mess around, what if the old gentleman gets angry?" Luo Hui said anxiously.
When a person concentrates on doing things, the most taboo is to be disturbed. The three of them entered the house, and the maids and servants were busy everywhere. Mr. Gu and Doctor Shi ignored them, knowing that they were devoting themselves to the game.
If it disturbs the two of them, it will be very bad. She is here to thank, but not to offend people.
Luo Huixin cast her gaze on Zhenniang, but saw that Zhenniang was just looking at Xie Yunqing with a smile, without saying a word. Seeing Zhenniang so indifferent did Luo Huixin feel a little relieved.
Xie Yunqing walked to the side of Shi Mingguang, and his fingertips fell on the chessboard.
Shi Mingguang raised his head and glanced at Xie Yunqing. Although he was disturbed, the person who disturbed him was Xie Yatou. Even if there was a stomach of fire, he couldn't make it out.
"Qing girl, you go and wait first, wait for me to finish the game first, and then talk to you."
Xie Yun smiled without saying a word, and looked at Gu Pingzhang again, "Grandfather, if you don't go out, I will let the people knock down all the snow on the trees."
What does this mean? Luo Hui scratched her hair in confusion.
However, Mr. Gu, who had always been amiable, changed his expression suddenly. When he was about to throw the chess piece in his hand into the chess basket, he was about to get up and walk outside.
Xie Yunqing sat in the original position of Gu Pingzhang, and smiled with her cheeks supported: "Don't worry, grandma, I have ordered someone to collect the snow water."
Gu Pingzhang breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a stern face: "You girl, how come you are not big or small like this?"
"If you don't do this, where does my grandmother notice our existence?" Xie Yunqing was not afraid of Gu Pingzhang, and said naturally.
Gu Pingzhang snorted, but didn't mean to blame Xie Yunqing.
"Ahem, since it's okay, let's finish this round before we talk?" Shi Mingguang said timely.
"Mr. wants to play chess, can I replace my grandfather with you in the next game?" Xie Yunqing said with a smile.
Shi Mingguang seemed to be frightened, and quickly waved his hand, "No, I've been sitting for a long time, and I'm feeling uncomfortable all over, let's rest first."
"Oh, this is a rare opportunity," Xie Yunqing pretended to sigh, "Then let's make an appointment first, and then the next game, right?"
Seeing Shi Mingguang showing a bewildered look, Luo Huixin felt both amused and curious.
Zhenniang Xu saw her doubts and explained with a smile: "Mr. Shi loves playing chess, but his chess skills are really mediocre. If he loses chess, he will cry bitterly. Therefore, when his grandfather played against him over the years, Will deliberately let him. And A Qing, never let Mr. Shi, Mr. Shi always meets A Qing, can not please, every time he cries. Over time, Mr. Shi will not be willing to play against A Qing. ."
Was it such a reason? Luo Huixin's mouth twitched. She really couldn't imagine what a big man's crying nose would look like.
Thinking of this, Luo Huixin couldn't wait to see the scene when Xie Yunqing and Mr. Shi played against each other.
However, the two of them did not have the same intentions as Luo Hui's heart. Shi Mingguang cleaned up the chess game and asked angrily: "Ice and snow, what are you doing here?"
Xie Yunqing said: "Mr. awakened the eldest princess. The county lord came to thank you on the order of the eldest princess."
"You don't need to thank you. It's been a blessing to be able to see the princess in just a few lifetimes. How dare you ask for the princess's gratitude?" Shi Mingguang didn't have any enthusiasm, and he returned the words of the doctor Sun come back.
Luo Huixin felt a fever in her ears. Mr. Shi rescued his grandmother, and the Luo family inherited Mr. Shi’s kindness. However, Luo Huixin didn't dare to forget the cynicism of his aunt and the doctor Sun to Mr. Shi.
She was not upset about Mr. Shi's indifference to her. People with great abilities have their own tempers. Luo Huixin still knows this truth. Furthermore, this was originally not their Luo family.
Luo Hui was a little embarrassed in her heart, but she still said, "Mr. was coldly received in the mansion. It is because our Luo family did not entertain him well. If my husband is free, can you give me a face and let my grandmother and I entertain him?"
Originally, Shi Mingguang was just suffocating, but now he heard the little girl say this, and he was not embarrassed to hear it. He has lived for several decades, so where does he care about the cold words of Dr. Sun and Madam? Now that a little girl who is old enough to be his granddaughter apologizes to him, how can Shi Mingguang dare to show his face
I saw Shi Mingguang, who was still cold, and the next moment his face was already full of smiles.
Luo Hui was puzzled, how this person turned his face like turning a book.
However, Shi Mingguang said indifferently, "Go back and tell the princess that I will accept her gratitude, and nothing else will be mentioned."
"Mr. Gaoyi, I deeply admire it. However, since my husband saved my grandmother's life, my grandmother would like to thank him in person. If it is not convenient for him to go there, I will arrange a carriage for him?"
Luo Huixin was also a little embarrassed. Thinking of her grandmother's words, her grandmother told her to ask Mr. Shi to go over.
For so many years, Luo Huixin had never seen her grandmother be curious about a stranger so far.
Shi Mingguang was slightly annoyed, he was already unrestrained, and the most annoying was going in and out of these noble mansions. Xie girl wrote to invite the princess to see a doctor. Now that people have been rescued, where are you still willing to step into the Grand Princess' Mansion
Shi Mingguang gave Xie Yunqing a look, meaning that he was only responsible for saving people, but he was not obligated to visit other people's houses.
Xie Yunqing pretended not to see it, and turned around to discuss with Gu Pingzhang how to store the snow water, so that the tea brewed would be more mellow.
Shi Mingguangqi got liver pain and rubbed his head.
"Mr. Shi always has a tofu heart with a knife, and you should go back and reply to the princess. We will naturally prepare the carriage and our Gu Mansion." Zhenniang smiled.
Shi Mingguang: "..." This Gu family will never take another step! He thought bitterly, then glared at Gu Pingzhang.
Gu Pingzhang didn't know, so he gave Shi Mingguang a puzzled look. Shi Mingguang let out a cold snort and raised his chin proudly.
When the goal was achieved, her grandmother was still waiting for her reply, and Luo Huixin turned down the Gu family's meal and prepared to go back.
"You go back first, I'll accompany my grandmother to say something." Xie Yunqing took Luo Huixin's hand and asked Su Wen to escort Luo Huixin back to the Grand Princess's residence.
Luo Huixin glanced at Su asked expressionlessly, can she refuse
Watching Luo Huixin's carriage disappear in the corner of the alley, Xie Yunqing turned around and returned to Gu Pingzhang's yard.
The little maid was bending over, preparing to remove the brazier.
Seeing that Xie Yunqing had turned back, Gu Pingzhang asked the little maid not to take off the brazier.
Shi Mingguang curled his lips, "Quickly remove the brazier and freeze her to death."
The little maid stepped back with a smile, and treated Shi Mingguang's words as if she hadn't heard her.
"My cousin is right." Xie Yunqing suddenly said such a sentence.
Shi Mingguang didn't understand, so he changed his mind to what Zhenniang had just said, and his face suddenly became dark.
Knife mouth tofu heart...
The girl who lost Zhenniang would describe it!
Xie Yunqing smiled and said, "I think my cousin makes a lot of sense. By the way, I have time right now, so why don't I have a game?"
"Yes, that's right, I'm indeed a tofu-hearted person." Shi Mingguang said quickly, "Qing girl, in such a cold day, you should drink a bowl of ginger tea to get rid of the cold. We'll talk about other things later. "Speaking, I ran out in a hurry.
Xie Yunqing smiled and looked at him almost fleeing, is it really so terrible to play against her
"You came to me, it should be something important, right?"
Just as Xie Yunqing looked at Shi Mingguang's back, Gu Pingzhang asked.
