Baili Changfeng said with a smile: "Girl Yuan Qiu, since you want to cook for Yao'er, you can also cook two for me. I haven't eaten the food you cooked these days. You see, grandpa has lost a lot of weight." "
Everyone was amused by Baili Changfeng's humor, except Zhao Yonghe who had a thoughtful smile on his face.
Baili Heng said: "Mother, what's wrong with you? Are you still worried about losing the ring?"
Zhao Yonghe shook his head hurriedly: "No, no, I just kept distracted."
Baili Yunpo said: "Madam, with Yuan Qiu here, we will definitely find the thief who stole the ring. Just relax."
Zhao Yonghe nodded, the smile on his face was still very forced, and his eyes were very tangled and confused.
Xia Yuanqiu saw it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart. He said nothing and just said goodbye with Baili Heng.
Back at Bamboo Residence, Zhu Yan had just finished processing a few official documents from the capital, most of which were military matters related to the Northwest Army. As soon as the carrier pigeon flew out of Bamboo Residence and skimmed into the blue sky, Xia Yuanqiu and Baili Heng stepped in.
"Who are you sending letters to?" Xia Yuanqiu joked.
Zhu Yan raised his eyebrows and glanced at Bai Liheng who was following Xia Yuanqiu, and laughed loudly: "There is such a person, why? Are you jealous again?"
Xia Yuanqiu said with a smile: "I like to eat oil and salt sauce, but I don't like to be jealous, it's too sour!"
Zhu Yan also smiled, looking past Xia Yuanqiu, cupping his hands towards Baili Heng and saying, "How can a busy man like Brother Heng have time to come to Zhuju today?"
Baili Heng bowed his hand in return and said, "My cousin and I made an appointment to deliver food to Yaomei for a while, and asked her some questions, so we came over together. After not seeing each other for a few days, His Highness the Crown Prince became more and more cheerful."
Seeing the two of them chatting politely, Xia Yuanqiu said, "You guys chat first, I'll go cook."
After Xia Yuanqiu's figure disappeared in the direction of the kitchen, Zhu Yan said to Baili Heng: "If nothing happens, how about we play a game of chess?"
Baili Heng nodded: "Of course it's good."
The so-called chessboard is like a battlefield. During the game, you can see the character and strategy of each person. Some are eager for quick success, some are deep in the city, some are brave and violent, or some are good at dancing.
Zhu Yan has always been good at chess. Whether in the palace or in the military camp, he rarely encounters opponents.
Today, I played against Baili Heng. I didn't expect that the opponent was actually a strong opponent. His opponent made steady moves and was able to deal with his unexpected moves with ease. This shows that the opponent's character is also a calm and confident person.
Thinking of Baili Changfeng and Baili Yunpo, with such a grandfather and father, it is natural for Baili Heng to be outstanding.
The two of them didn't know how to play chess, and they ended up in a draw. Their chess skills were evenly matched.
Zhu Yan clasped his fists: "Brother Heng is brilliant."
Baili Heng also clasped his fists and replied: "Brother Yan deserves the prize. If Brother Yan hadn't meant to tie the last piece, I, Baili Heng, would have lost." The situation between the two remained stalemate until the last piece. Zhu Yan clearly had a chance to win. He was about to die, but he didn't. Instead, he turned the tables and saved his face, which he admired in his heart.
Zhu Yan smiled and said: "I am not as noble as you think. This is how I originally planned to play chess."
Baili Heng also laughed. Since he didn't recognize it, he wouldn't argue.
The two put away the chessboard, moved to the stone table in the courtyard, drank freshly brewed tea, and chatted all over the world. The more they chatted, the more they became speculative, and the more they chatted, the more they felt like they regretted meeting each other so late.
Some people may not become true friends after being together for a lifetime.
And some people, with just a few words, know that the other person is their true friend.
Because they share the same path, they have the same will.
