Xin Yi didn't know how he was blindfolded and sent back to Xin Mansion by a sedan chair. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Until she returned to Yutang Pavilion, when Xin Qi stood in front of her with a stern face, she was still in a trance.

"Ziqing, the old lady wants to see you. Come with me quietly. Xin Qi rarely called Xin Yi's small characters, and there was deliberate flattery and unconcealed suspicion between his eyebrows.

"Daddy......" Xin Yi subconsciously echoed.

"Don't ask, don't be quiet. Tonight, in order to celebrate the old lady's return home, everyone was happy at the banquet. And I commanded every room to rest early. So is the green butterfly. Xin Qi lowered his voice and led Xin Yi away alone.

I didn't see a little slave along the way. The entire Xin Mansion was a little strangely deserted.

Cilan Hall is the residence of the old lady of Xinfu. The house is not luxurious, but it is in a transcendent position in the Xin Mansion. Not only because Xin Qi is a dutiful son, but also because the old lady is the only foreign woman in Xin Mansion who has a title.

The old lady Xin Zhou is of the same family name as Xin Qi's wife Zhou. The old lady lost her husband at an early age, and never remarried, but was obsessed with chess, and repeatedly defeated the famous chess masters of the Great Wei Dynasty at the age of 60. The emperor named Xin Zhou's "Guangping County Jun", which was ranked among the five foreign women.

When Xin Yi walked into Cilan Hall, there was only the old lady on the couch, and there was not half a shadow of the slaves and maids around.

The incense burner of the gilt silver beast is burning with sandalwood, and the incense mist is straight.

"Mother, the sixth girl is here. Xin Qi closed the doors and windows, and stepped forward to whisper to the old lady.

"Greetings to Grandmother. Xin Yi finally came to his senses and knelt down to salute in a regular manner, but he couldn't stop looking at Xin Zhou's family.

Growing up, Xin Yi didn't see much of his grandmother. Because Xin Zhou was obsessed with chess, he always traveled abroad, looking for hermit chess players to play, and sometimes even returned home for a year and a half.

Xin Zhou, who was leaning on the couch, was in his early sixties, with a well-maintained face and a healthy complexion, a stone blue carved silk brocade on his head, and a circle of gray squirrel hair on the side. The silver background on her body is embroidered with treasure flowers and narrow sleeves, outlining her slightly plump figure.

It seems that the summer heat is just right, and Xin Zhou's is still a little sick, and he raised his hand weakly: "Get up." ”

"Grandmother's illness is cured?" Xin Yi asked in a proper manner.

"No problem. Took Langzhong's prescription. Thank you. Xin Zhou's words were not salty or light, but Xin Yi's eyes flickered: "Grandmother's words can make her granddaughter die." When the granddaughter learned that her grandmother was suffering from summer heat, she was worried day and night, and prayed to the Buddha. ”

"Really?" Xin Zhou's face was full of the kindness of an elder, but there was no trace of warmth in the words he spoke, "If you really miss my grandmother, how could you make such a big deal during my visit to Zhong Nanshan? ”

"It's the granddaughter who is young and reckless. Xin Yi responded, his face so flat that it seemed that he had nothing to do with himself.

"That's it?" Xin Zhou's mouth curled, and his tone became more and more kind, "The matter is a foregone conclusion, and I won't pursue it." Just ask Ziqing, what did you say to that adult?"

Xin Yi was slightly stunned, and immediately realized that Xin Zhou was talking about being summoned by Li Jingting. But it was a secret summons, and Xin Zhou's methods could not be detected.

Xin Yi looked at Xin Qi with a puzzled gaze, and the latter waved his hand again and again: "It's none of my business! I just announced that you were suffering from a disease, and I didn't say anything more." ”

"It's my own guess. Xin Zhou's eyes crossed the bottom of the puzzled, "When I was named the king of Guangping County, the emperor didn't want me to enter the palace to thank him, as long as I set up a chess game in Qujiangchi and defeated a royal heir." At that time, I was already famous in chess, and the princes did not want to lose face. This drudgery fell on the head of the Third Highness. At that time, His Royal Highness sat on the sedan chair, which was satin-covered and embroidered with silver beads and gold-winged birds. ”

Xin Zhou paused, and Xin Qi immediately served Lu'an tea with both hands. After Xin Zhou's mouth was moistened, he continued.

"It wasn't until this morning that I picked up the curtain on my way back this morning and saw the sedan chair again. The sedan chair is high from the ground, and the people in the sedan chair are light, so women and children must be seated. His Royal Highness is not yet married, and he does not like to associate with young children on weekdays. At that time, I was curious about what kind of mysterious woman she asked Her Highness to pick her up in her sedan chair. ”

Xin Yi listened carefully, and there was some amusement in his heart.

Li Jingting, together with Xin Qi, bothered to arrange a secret summons, and even blindfolded her when she was carried to the mansion. was guessed by Xin Zhou, who met by chance.

Sure enough, people are not as good as heaven. No matter how good the chess game is, I dare not say that it is seamless.

Xin Zhou's voice continued to linger: "When I returned to the mansion, I knew that you were taken by the Lu family and inexplicably contracted the disease." I thought about it again, the Lu family and the Third Highness got close, and you were only retired by the Lu family, and the sedan chair of the Third Highness carried the woman to the ...... Eighty percent of you were secretly summoned by His Highness. ”

"Mother is really clever! my son can't hide anything from my mother!" Xin Qi laughed with a flattering face.

Xin Yi was nervous. Xin Zhou, who is over sixty years old, is thoughtful, and while she admires it, she is more vigilant.

Li Jingting is right, who is the chess piece and who is the chess player, at this point in the chess game, she must pay more attention.

"Grandmother has a good idea. Xin Yi followed Xin Qi's words, floated a light smile, and bowed down.

"Pour me less ecstasy soup. My wife is old, but her brain is not ambiguous. Xin Zhou looked at Xin Yi and grinned, "Ziqing, tell me, what did His Highness say to you?"

"It's just that he was taken off by the Lu family, and His Royal Highness appeased him. Xin Yi also smiled, like an ordinary woman chatting with her grandmother.

"Appeased?" Xin Zhou was stunned for a moment, obviously not guessing the answer.

"Exactly. Although the divorce is due to the granddaughter's confusion, it has to be counted on the head of the Third Highness. If His Royal Highness didn't intend to present his granddaughter's anthology to the queen, where would there be a turmoil about marriage?"

Xin Yi's smile became more and more tame, and the candle flame rippled in her autumn eyes: "Your Highness rewarded her granddaughter with a chess piece." If my grandmother doesn't believe me, you can see it. ”

Xin Yi took out the chess piece. Tribute Kunlun jade carving, carved with a mosquito-sized "thunder".

With this word "thunder", no one in the world dares to doubt the authenticity of this thing. Xin Zhou's is no exception.

She didn't speak, just looked at Xin Yi quietly, with a kind smile on her lips. Xin Yi also looked at her, and there was no trace of waves in her eyes.

But Xin Qi was beside him and didn't dare to come out. He always felt that the daughter he had raised for fifteen years was becoming more and more unfamiliar.

Finally, Xin Zhoushi stretched out his hand with a smile and patted Xin Yi's face affectionately: "I have always known that Ziqing is good at poetry and writing, but I don't know when you will play chess?"

Xin Yi's smile was not the slightest different, and he said softly: "Naturally, it won't." But sometimes it's forced, and a few people are left behind. ”

"Does Ziqing want to learn to play chess?"

"Ziqing is stupid. Even if you can, I don't know if I'm playing chess by myself or helping others, but I'm mistaken by 'will', so it's better to 'can't'. ”

The two of them came and went, and Xin Qi next to them had already heard anxiously: "Mother, what are you talking about! The sixth girl has only been taught some deviant things by Xin Bai since she was a child, where can she play chess!"
