Chapter 35: Playing Chess
Emperor Jiuxiao was a little apprehensive in his heart, and regardless of the eyes of the people around him, he took Mu Xueran into his arms, lowered his head and rubbed lightly on her head, "Mu Mu." ”
Mu Xueran heard his uneasiness, and felt funny about his childish behavior, thinking that the emperor grandfather was still there, he quickly pushed him away, and whispered with some shame: "Grandpa is still watching." ”
The old man emperor and the others watched their grandson's young master's series of actions, and their eyes widened in shock.
Emperor Jiuxiao knew that she was not unhappy, so he was relieved, and introduced Wu's mother and Zhang's mother to her one by one. Then he said to the old man with a serious and serious face: "Grandpa, Mu Mu and I have already received the certificate, I love her, so grandpa don't introduce me to messy women in the future, and bring them into the house." ”
The old man was surprised and delighted, this stinky boy actually received the certificate without saying a word, and then there was a burst of grievances, for fear that his daughter-in-law would think too much, so he quickly explained, "I don't know how she knew that you were coming, and I sat here for an afternoon, and I couldn't drive away." ”
Emperor Jiuxiao's words made Mu Xueran's heart warm, and she heard the old man's voice with grievances, and the look between his eyebrows and eyes was exactly the same as that of Emperor Jiuxiao, and he was a little closer to him.
Mu Xueran took out the box in her handbag, opened it and turned to the old man, "Grandpa, this is a picture of the ancient city in autumn, I don't know if you will like it." ”
The old man was immediately attracted by the content of the painting, and he didn't pay attention to what she said in the second half of the sentence.
This is an ink painting, the scattered and orderly pink walls and tiles, the mottled blue-blue stone road, the drying rack, the round plaque is full of harvest fruits, red, yellow, white, green, all kinds of crops and black roofs overlap, very spectacular. At a glance, it is clear that the painter likes this simple and leisurely life.
It is as if looking at this painting can return to the middle of the picture, away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Like the old man of the emperor, who has lived in the intrigue of the shopping mall for most of his life, he yearns for this quiet and leisurely life in his later years, so he likes this autumn picture very much.
Seeing that the seal in the lower right corner was indefiled with fine dust, the old man emperor's eyes widened, he had carefully studied the painting skills and painting style of unstained fine dust, so he would not doubt its authenticity at all.
"Dye girl, I've always been concerned about not dying the dust, how come I've never seen this painting, but I can be sure it's real. ”
Hearing him say this, Mu Xueran was very happy, but Grandpa Di didn't seem to hear what he just said, and said with a smile: "Grandpa, this painting was painted by me only last month, and it was not exhibited. ”
"What do you say?!This is what you painted? You, you just don't stain the dust?" The old man was shocked and surprised, his own granddaughter-in-law was not stained with dust? That genius painter who is a national treasure in the art world is his granddaughter-in-law?!
"Grandpa, you have a bad heart, don't get too excited. "Emperor Jiuxiao supported his forehead.
"Can I not be excited? Hmph, stinky boy, did you already know that you didn't tell grandpa, I am still not your own grandfather. The old man pretended to be angry.
"Didn't you ask?" Emperor Jiuxiao played with Mu Xueran's little hand and said lightly.
"You... Hmph!" is nothing wrong with that.
Mu Xueran glanced at Emperor Jiuxiao, what was so interesting about her hands.
Looking at the emperor's angry look, Mu Xueran actually felt a little cute, "Grandpa, you have to like it, I still have a few in my apartment, and I'll bring it to you next time." ”
"Okay, good, my granddaughter-in-law is still good to me, not like that stinky boy. But it's enough for you to have this heart, as long as you come, grandpa will be happy in his heart. The old man smiled, and his mood was very comfortable.
After dinner, because of the sudden rain, the emperor let the two stay.
On the sofa in the living room, the old man wanted to play chess on a whim, so he asked Mu Xueran: "Dye girl, do you know how to play chess?"
Mu Xueran thought for a while, nodded and said, "It will be a little." When she was a child, her grandfather often pulled her to play chess, explaining to her while playing, she learned quickly, and would draw inferences.
The old man ordered someone to set up the chessboard, and waved his big hand, "Come, girl, accompany grandpa to play two games." ”
Because he hadn't touched the chessboard for several years, Mu Xueran had some difficulty at first, but then it was the emperor who struggled.
At first, the old man thought that she just knew the rules and was not very good at chess, but slowly he became interested and serious. The more he went to the back, the more shocked he became.
The most powerful thing about the old man is to see people's eyesight, the more he looks at Mu Xueran, the more he feels that this girl is really unusual, the more he looks at it, the more wonderful it is, there is a sense of nobility and temperament on his body that he has never seen in any woman, and he is long and beautiful, he is a blessed good look, but he has lost a little weight.
After a game, it took almost an hour, and in the end, Mu Xueran lost two sons.
The old man's heart can no longer be described as shocked. His granddaughter-in-law is really not simple, not only is her identity not simple, but her family background is definitely extraordinary. "Dye girl, who did you learn this chess from?"
"My grandfather. ”
"Oh, who is your grandfather?"
"Mu Jianhua. ”
"General Mu, you are his niece. "The old man of the emperor also dealt with Mu Jianhua when he was young, he has never admired a few people in his life, Mu Jianhua is one.
"Hmm. Mu Xueran nodded.
"No wonder you can raise such an excellent child. The old man sighed.
Mu Xueran smiled embarrassedly.
At nine o'clock, the old man was a little tired, so he went upstairs to rest. Emperor Jiuxiao also took Mu Xue to his bedroom.
Different from the Chinese-style design of the courtyard house, his room is more European-style. The gray and white style is in great contrast with the warm color of the apartment, but Mu Xueran feels that this is in line with his character.
She had seen that gray symbolized a kind of loneliness and loneliness.
Gray is a kind of boundary line, it means that it is not stimulated by all sides, it is neutral, it is not nervous, it is not compromised, they are not inhibited. They erect a high wall around themselves to isolate themselves from others. They are not interested in socializing, and even if they occasionally participate, it is not out of their own wish.
People who like gray are calm and stable, not alarmed, think twice before they encounter problems, and can calmly deal with unexpected situations; they are good at controlling their emotions, whether they are excited or sad, they behave as usual.
Mu Xueran couldn't help but ask, "Emperor Jiuxiao, why is your apartment warm in color?"
Emperor Jiuxiao was slightly stunned, looking a little embarrassed, "Cough, it's all Wen Liao looking for someone to decorate." ”
Without your order, Wen Liao will make his own decisions? Mu Xueran looked at Emperor Jiuxiao with some doubts, thinking that he took the initiative to approach him at the beginning and live next door to him. He decorated the room in warm colors because he expected that he would live in it, and he wanted to make himself feel warm.
This person is really scheming.
"Emperor Jiuxiao, thank you. ”
"Silly girl, you and I never need to say thank you. Emperor Jiuxiao stroked her soft hair, and he knew that with her clever little head, he would definitely think of the reason. "Do you want to take a shower first?"
"Okay, though, these don't have my pajamas. "She didn't expect to stay here tonight, and she didn't bring a change of clothes.
Emperor Jiuxiao pointed to the location of the bathroom, "You go wash first, I'll go downstairs and ask." ”
"Hmm. ”
