If Su Fengnuan's chess style is ever-changing, Ye Chang's chess style is ever-changing, the two of them played chess, it was really a match for each other.
He stated that he watched the chess without blinking his eyes. Halfway through the game, he held his breath, fearing that his breath would disturb the two of them, but one of the two sat casually with a wine glass in their hands, and the other played with it. Playing chess pieces, carelessly, quite leisurely.
The fight on the chessboard was fierce, but the wind outside the chess was light and calm, the sound of the chess pieces was mixed with the strong aroma of red plum wine, and the uninterrupted voices of the two of you talking to each other.
In the house, the stove was burning vigorously, and the charcoal fire was crackling.
The snow was falling slowly outside, and the night wind blew up the snowflakes on the branches of wintersweet, exposing the fresh stamens, and then, it was covered by falling snow again, and the snow on the ground fell a foot deep without being cleaned. Wherever the night falls into the eyes, there is a vast expanse of white color.
When the last two pieces were left in a chess game, it was Su Fengnuan's turn to move first. She looked at Ye Chang with a smile, "Guess who of us wins and who loses?"
Ye Chang raised his eyebrows, twisted the chess piece in his hand and smiled back, "Wouldn't you know after you try it?"
Su Fengnuan turned his head and asked the statement, "What do you think? Who of us wins and who loses?"
The statement was originally sure that Ye Chang would lose, but after watching the game from the sidelines, he found that the two were fighting inextricably, which almost made him wonder if these are the two people he likes each other? For those who don't know, they think that these are two enemies who meet each other on a narrow road. Hearing Su Fengnuan ask him, he raised his head, glanced at Su Fengnuan, then at Ye Chang, scratched his head, and shook his head again.
Ye Chang sneered, "He's just an idiot, you can't ask him anything?"
Chen Chen nodded and said honestly, "Yes, I'm just an idiot."
Su Fengnuan laughed, and said to the statement, "You can set up a bet and bet on which of us will win and who will lose. If you make the right bet, I will give you something as a bet."
Statement immediately widened its eyes.
Ye Chang raised his eyebrows at Su Fengnuan, "Since when did you have the habit of giving away things to others? Why didn't I know? Could it be that the wind in Yanbei is blowing so badly that you can't tell the difference between east, west, and north?"
Su Fengnuan glared at him, "The wind in Yanbei is special, especially the wind in Fengkou Mountain. I have lived in Fengkou Mountain for a year. You are right. I have been blown for a long time and I can't tell the difference between east, west and north." It's over." After finishing the sentence, he added, "I have a habit of giving away things to others since I was a child, otherwise, where did all the good things in your Rong'an Palace come from?"
Ye Chang snorted lightly and said, "No!"
Su Fengnuan laughed, "You know what I'm giving, so you won't allow it?"
Ye Chang said, "No matter what to give, I won't allow it."
Su Fengnuan was speechless for a moment.
I understood the statement, and when Ye Chang heard that he had made the right bet, Su Fengnuan wanted to give him something and he was jealous, so he immediately said to Ye Chang, "Miss Su gave Xu Yunchu a sable cloak as a thank-you gift, but you didn't even fight it." Turn the vinegar pot, now you come to my brother, you will not be so stingy, right? How can I say that I am also my own, and I am closer than Xu Yunchu."
Ye Chang glanced at the statement, "How do you know that I didn't overturn the vinegar pot when he gave Xu Yunchu the sable cloak?"
Statement choked, looked at him and snorted, "No way? When Xu Yunchu took over the cloak at Wuliting outside the city, I didn't see that you were jealous?"
Ye Chang said, "If you, an idiot, could see it, wouldn't Xu Yunchu see it too?"
The statement was immediately speechless.
Su Fengnuan laughed angrily, and said to Ye Chang, "Statement is absorbed in watching chess, you and I drank the plum wine cooked in warm wine, but he didn't drink half of it. In my opinion, it's not only hard work, but also a bit of a loss." Panic, if he bets right and you don't want me to give it to you, then you can give it to him."
It was only then that the statement remembered that he was really engrossed in watching it. He didn't drink any wine. He looked back and saw that the jug was dry. drink?"
Ye Chang looked at the statement and saw that he was holding an empty jug with a gloomy expression on his face. He nodded in agreement and said to him, "Okay, you come to gamble. If the bet is right, I will pay the bet. If the bet is wrong, Deserves no alcohol."
Chen Chen became entangled when he heard the words, looked at Su Fengnuan, then at Ye Chang, and after a while, put down the empty jug, and said with determination, "I bet Miss Su wins."
Su Fengnuan hooked the corner of his mouth.
Ye Chang raised his eyebrows, looked at the statement, "Are you sure?"
Statement gritted his teeth and nodded, "OK."
Ye Chang snorted lightly.
Su Fengnuan looked at Ye Chang, and said with a smile, "Your word is fast, you have already agreed, so you are not allowed to go back on it." After saying that, she dropped the last chess piece on the chessboard.
Statement immediately stared at Ye Chang's movements with wide eyes.
Ye Chang threw the chess piece casually, and the chess piece rolled onto the board. He stood up and said to Chen Chen, "You go back first, tomorrow I will order Qianhan to send you the betting money."
Chen Chen looked at the two with a bewildered look, "I won the bet?"
Ye Chang snorted softly and entered the inner room.
Su Fengnuan stated with a smile, "That's right, you won the bet and he lost." After saying that, she took out a jug of wine from the side of the stove and handed it to him, "I left a glass for you, here, It's snowing outside, go back and look at the road, don't slip and fall."
Chen Chen took the flagon and thanked him happily, "Thank you girl!" After saying that, he looked at the chessboard for a long time, but still didn't understand, "Miss Su, please advise, he has no choice but to take this step. The way? Where did you lose? I don’t understand.”
Su Fengnuan stood up with a smile, and said to him, "If you hurt the enemy a thousand, you will hurt yourself by eight hundred. If you hurt your roots, you will lose if you win. Retreat without hurting yourself or your foundation, and stand firm in the world. Losing is also winning. What is winning or losing? It is superior to the enemy, but also checks and balances with wisdom, excels in wisdom, ingenious in merit, tolerates in the sky, and pervasive in the earth. The long-term safety of all things is the only way to win."
The statement was like enlightenment, and he immediately held the jug and gave Su Fengnuan a deep salute, "Thank you, Duo Niang, for your guidance, I understand." After saying that, he straightened up, laughed at the back room, and said to Ye Chang, "Don't forget I paid the wager, and I will wait for Qianhan to send it to me tomorrow morning." After saying that, he happily left the painting hall with the jug in his hand.
It was windy and snowy outside, and he forgot to put on his cloak. He was blown by the wind and snow, and it was chilly, so he quickly folded it back, took the cloak, wrapped himself tightly, and then went out again.
Qian Han heard the movement and sent him out of the yard with a lamp.
Chen Chen walked out on the snow and said to Qian Han, "Qian Han, do you think I'm stupid?"
Qian Han glanced at Chen Chen and said, "Second Young Master is not stupid."
Statement shook his head, "Wrong, I'm very stupid."
Qian Han shook his head, "It depends on who the Second Young Master compares with. If you compare with my family's eldest son and Miss Su, you will naturally be incomparable. How many people in the world can compare? If you compare with others, you are naturally smart, otherwise you will not be able to compare." It won’t be burning his two granaries behind Prince Beizhou on Tuesday.”
Chen Chen thought for a while and said, "Your words are also reasonable. How many people in the world are smarter than the two of them? There are also a few."
Qian Han nodded.
Holding the jug, Chen Chen said again, "Your family's son is too unkind. Since I was a child, I have spent more time with him than Miss Su, right? But I really didn't find out what skills he secretly learned. I thought it was just that he was smarter than me. Especially the matter between him and Miss Su, if I hadn’t heard Miss Su talk about it after I came to Yanbei, I would have been kept in the dark by him.”
Qian Han said, "Second Young Master, please don't blame my eldest son. The eldest son has been living in Beijing these years under the eyes of countless people. How many people are staring at the Rong'an Palace, he dare not be careless. It's not that he doesn't trust you."
He stated with a smile, "I know, he was secretly plotted against, and he was poisoned with heat from it. After all these years, it was not easy to survive by gritting his teeth. If I were him, I'm afraid I wouldn't survive So big."
Qian Han nodded.
The statement was full of joy and authenticity, "Miss Su is amazing. She has won against your family's heir. I will wait to see what good things he will give me tomorrow."
Seeing that he admired Su Fengnuan very much, Qianhan opened his mouth to say something, but closed it again, and stopped speaking.
After the statement came out of the yard, he waved to Qian Han and told him not to see him off. Holding the flagon, he happily returned to the yard where he lived while reminiscing about the chess game between the two.
In the room, Ye Chang saw that the statement had left, and asked Su Fengnuan, "What do you want to give him?"
Su Fengnuan looked at his unhappy face and smiled, "Didn't you just lose a game of chess? Why are you acting so unhappy? It's not like you haven't lost before."
Ye Chang snorted softly, "It has nothing to do with chess."
Su Fengnuan came to the bed, pinched his face, "Are you really jealous?"
Ye Chang snorted again, "You haven't answered my question yet."
Su Fengnuan smiled and said, "It's a letter left by my master before his death. I think it will be useful to him if I give it to him."
Ye Chang raised his eyebrows, "Are you even willing to send out your master's letter?"
Su Fengnuan smiled and said, "Senior brother and I have already left the teacher, and you can be regarded as a teacher. There is no need to use this thing. The master's handbook is very useful. It is just a dead thing to keep. It is given to those who need him. For Nan Qi To cultivate a talented person, the spirit of the master in the sky should also be pleased, thinking that I have ruined his things for nothing."
Ye Chang stretched out his hand to hold her hand, and said with a good taste, "You are very good at presenting."
Su Fengnuan laughed, "He is very interesting and quite likable. My family Sese used to think that his status was not worthy of him, but now that Duke Anguo's house is full of robbers, he should have no such worries anymore. Sese will protect you for me I have been depressed in Beijing for many years, and I can't treat her badly. Wouldn't it be best for her to give her a well-polished statement?"
When Ye Chang heard the words, his depression disappeared, and he put his arms around her and said, "It's not in vain that I lost you a game for him today."
Su Fengnuan was overjoyed and said triumphantly, "Who told him to bet on me to win? You forbid me to give it away, so you can only lose. If you lose, he can bet on it, right?"
Ye Chang snorted softly, "I shouldn't have lost, but now I lost, you have to make up for me."
Su Fengnuan looked at him, "Are you a child? Still fighting for this? Tell me, what compensation do you want?"
Ye Chang pushed her onto the bed, leaned over her, kissed the corner of her mouth, and whispered, "I'm afraid I want you before I get married. Is this compensation okay?"
