After Wen Wenya turned on her cell phone, she received a call from Zhou Tianyu. Zhou Tianyu enthusiastically shared Xia Ruya's scandal with her and then hung up. After a while, Wen Wenya received a call from her grandfather. Her grandfather's voice sounded very anxious. It was obvious that Gu Junlin had told her grandfather that she had secretly run away from the Gu family yesterday.
Si Yiyan quickly sent her to the Mo family.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Si Yiyan sent her to the Mo family and left without showing up.
Wen Xinya turned around and went into the Mo family's second floor. The door of the study was ajar. Wen Xinya looked through the crack carefully, but could only see rows of bookshelves.
At this moment, the door of the study was suddenly opened. Wen Xinya was startled and subconsciously took a step back. When she looked up, she saw her grandfather standing at the door of the study, looking at her indifferently.
“Grandpa…” Wen Xinya shrank her neck, and the tail of her voice was drawn out, with a hint of coquettishness and guilt.
"Come in if you're here. What are you doing peeking at the door?" Old Master Mo looked at the little girl in front of him. Her bright eyes flickered around, but she didn't dare to look him in the eye.
Wen Xinya stuck out her tongue at her grandfather, and quickly stepped forward to hug his arm, showing a flattering smile: "Grandpa, you are so awesome, how did you know I was outside?"
Old Master Mo took her into the study, where the scent of ink was strong. It was obvious that grandpa was writing.
Mr. Mo glanced at her calmly and said, "Come and play the next round with me!"
"Hehe! OK!" Wen Xinya couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Fortunately, her grandfather didn't ask about what happened last night, otherwise she really didn't know how to explain to her grandfather.
After a few moves, the scorn on Grandpa Mo's face was replaced by seriousness. His previously somewhat immature chess style unexpectedly became sophisticated in a short period of time. His layout was meticulous and his steps were profound, and he already had the style of a master.
but…
"Grandpa, this piece is mine, you can't eat my piece!"
"Grandpa, no, no, you can't get off here, otherwise all my hard work will be in vain."
"Grandpa, I saw it wrong just now, let's go through it again!"
In such a short period of time, his chess quality had deteriorated to a level that he couldn't bear to watch...
But he didn't know that his granddaughter's chess skills were spoiled by Si Yiyan.
As the black and white pieces on the chessboard spread out in a dense pattern, Mr. Mo's expression turned cold. "Where did you go last night? Xiao Gu came to ask me early in the morning if I could contact you. There has been a bloody storm in the capital recently. How dare you go out alone?"
He had thought that this child was always sensible and methodical, and he gave her as much freedom as possible, letting her do whatever she wanted and not interfering in her life, but...
He looked at the black and white chess pieces on the chessboard. He thought that there were some things that he should take care of and not just leave them alone.
Wen Xinya lowered her head, hesitating whether to tell her grandfather about Si Yiyan. She was reborn and her mental age was 25 years old, so she accepted Si Yiyan so easily.
But in the eyes of her grandpa and others, she is just an underage girl. The relationship between her and Si Yiyan is considered puppy love in the eyes of others, and they will not recognize or understand it.
"It's related to Si Jiu, right?" Mr. Mo asked sternly.
“Grandpa…” Wen Xinya’s eyes widened, obviously frightened, but she was so shocked that she forgot to refute.
Her silence was a tacit agreement in Mr. Mo's eyes. His expression became solemn. "Don't forget that I taught Si Jiu. I know his chess style like the back of my hand. But you... my granddaughter, your chess style is different from mine. But your layout is 80% similar to Si Jiu's. Even if I am confused, I can still see that."
He found it strange when Si Jiu suddenly moved to Mo's house. Later, Si Jiu was very careful in getting along with Xinya, and he vaguely sensed something was wrong. However, Si Jiu knew how to behave, so it was difficult for him to interfere. After Si Jiu left, he put this idea behind him. As a result... they were actually secretly doing something under his nose.
Wen Xinya lowered her head and admitted her mistake: "Grandpa, I was wrong. I shouldn't have kept it from you."
Her voice was filled with tears, her red eyes were full of tears, and her pitiful expression made people feel pity for her. His heart softened inexplicably: "You are a smart child and you know how to behave. I taught Si Jiu personally, so there is no need to say what kind of person he is. You two can both know how to behave. I don't think there is anything wrong with falling in love prematurely."
Wen Xinya raised her head, her eyes flashing with joy and excitement: "Grandpa..."
Old Master Mo stretched out his hand to stop her from speaking, looked at her seriously and said, "You know, since ancient times, those who can really shake the foundation of a country are always those powerless scholars. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many tragedies of burning books and burying scholars in the past dynasties. People call me a great scholar of the time, but it's just a false name. They also respect me only because I have many students all over the world. Si Jiu is not a simple person. He is scheming, playing tricks, calculating people's hearts. His world, even I can't interfere."
Wen Xinya looked at her grandfather. She didn't understand what he was trying to say, so she could only lower her head and listen to his lecture.
Mr. Mo said calmly, "If you really stay with him, if something happens one day, neither I nor the Wen family can protect you. You are still young, so think carefully about whether he is your best choice."
"Grandpa, I will think about your words seriously." Wen Xinya's eyes suddenly became moist. It might be because she had been living away from home for fifteen years. In order to make up for the emotional loss of fifteen years, grandpa had always been extremely tolerant and patient with her. Even though premature love was intolerable in the eyes of outsiders, he always maintained an understanding attitude, looked at the matter from the perspective of an elder and analyzed the pros and cons with her. She was deeply moved.
Old Master Mo touched her head with pity. It was not that he did not want to interfere, but he had no reason to. She was among the top students in the academy and had made rapid progress in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. The fact that this relationship had not affected her study and life proved that she and Si Yiyan were both knowing how to act properly, so it was not right for him to interfere blindly.
She has been missing out on love for fifteen years, so now we should give her more tolerance and trust!
Even if something terrible happened in the future, as long as he was still alive, he would be able to protect her from the wind and rain.
Mr. Mo was so annoyed that he glared at her and said, "Don't be so sarcastic. If you do something wrong, you must be punished. Don't think of getting away with it. I will punish you to copy the "Mo Family Instructions" twenty times. Do you accept it?"
Scholarly families all have their own set of family precepts to teach their descendants, which are a collection of the insights and experiences of their predecessors. The Mo family precepts mainly teach their descendants how to conduct themselves in the world, cultivate their moral character, and study with a righteous mind.
There are ten chapters in the whole book, with a total of ten thousand words. Twenty times means two hundred thousand words...
This punishment is not light!
When Wen Xinya heard this, her bright eyes dimmed and her head drooped: "I know, Grandpa!"
