Jiangshui City, the capital of Jiangnan Province, has seven long rivers rushing through, hence the name.

This city has a long history and was once the imperial capital of all dynasties, with a profound heritage.

If the Li family is new in a few decades, then the Chen family in Jiangshui City is an old family with a long history.

The Chinese people pay the most attention to inheritance, and this kind of family, which has been inherited for hundreds of years, has long been deeply rooted here.

At this time, at the foot of a mountain, on the wooden pavilion, the breeze and dew, although not luxurious, but there is a different kind of elegance.

Tick!

On a bamboo, water droplets slid down on the rock below, which had long since been polished and lost its edges.

At this time, the sound of falling children sounded in the pavilion.

On the open-air balcony, there were three people, one of whom was Wang Yu, who was standing quietly beside him.

Near her was a very elegant maiden.

The girl's hair is simply tied with a red rope, and she is wearing a slightly thin Hanfu, and her small red lips are slightly pursed, which is a very beautiful curvature.

The girl stared at the chessboard, kneeling on her knees, but her back was very straight, and when the wind blew, there was a sense of tranquility and far-reaching.

Except for a string of silver jewelry on his left wrist, there were no ornaments on his body.

Her face was gentle and calm, and the frowning brows she wrinkled because she was thinking about it were beautiful, it was the eldest lady of the Chen family, Chen Wanqing.

The girl is picturesque, quiet and beautiful.

And the person who can play chess with her is naturally extraordinary.

Opposite her, an old man with white hair looked at the chessboard and said slowly: "Since you were a child, your chess path has been more active, but the more you grow up, the more you become more and more decent. ”

Chen Wanqing smiled bitterly, she even frowned, and her whole person shone in the gentle sunlight.

"Master Luo, I've lost again. ”

Master Luo's original name was Luo Jingkang, he was a guest of the Chen family, he lived from the last century to the present, he is more than a hundred years old, but the whole person is more and more energetic, and the wrinkles on his face are full of charm.

"In the past, even if you were decent, you could hold on to my hands for a little longer, and today you seem to have something on your mind. ”

Master Luo is a grandmaster, but no one knows his specific strength, because he hasn't shown it for a long time.

The rumors have reached the point of the Great Grandmaster, but they are not clear after all.

Chen Wanqing is a little more serious today, if she was placed in the past, she would still show her girlish side: "Master Luo, compared to us young juniors, you have been in the Chen family for hundreds of years, and you should know the Chen family better than me." ”

"What do you think of our Chen family?"

Master Luo took a deep look at her, looked around again, and said with emotion: "Before me, my father was the servant of the Chen family, and further up, my grandfather was also working in the Chen family. ”

"Now, I'm still in the Chen family. ”

"But this dynasty has changed several rounds, the Chen family is still the Chen family, the wind and rain have not fallen, and when it comes to your generation, I have a hunch that it will be even stronger. ”

Chen Wanqing smiled slightly: "The reason why our Chen family has been able to exist safely for hundreds of years is because we talk about rules. ”

"Master Luo, look at the stones in that courtyard, if they are very sharp, it is easy to hurt people, I am afraid that if I hurt people, I will remove them, and it will be worthless. ”

And the reason why it was left is because it was polished with brilliance and roundness. ”

"The master thinks that the more I play, the more I play, the more rules I play, because I know the importance of rules. ”

Chen Wanqing stroked the hair that fell from her ears with her hand: "Many people say that the rich second-generation nouveau riche has no quality, but in a family like ours that has been inherited for hundreds of years, if the descendants have no quality, they will be gone long ago." ”

"Because we know the rules, we fear the rules, we have our own rules, and we don't break the rules of others. ”

Master Luo smiled slightly: "Girl, are you talking about what happened back then?"

Chen Wanqing gently held a cup of tea: "The ancestral motto of our Chen family, that is, never meddle in official affairs, only do business, but the second uncle's family has broken the rules back then." ”

He actually wanted to book Chen Manman and one of the Li family as a baby. ”

"And grandpa is also a ghost, and he even agreed, only some people can see it clearly, which has violated the ancestral teachings. ”

"No matter how big the interests are, you can't go against the ancestral teachings. ”

"What happened back then, we were also forced to do so, but fortunately, now the second uncle is much more stable, although the second aunt died, and the second aunt's family also suffered a devastating blow, but the second uncle is still alive and has a new wife and offspring. ”

Master Luo listened quietly and did not speak, he knew that the family that had been inherited for two or three hundred years must have the foundation of its existence, and of course the interior was also very complicated.

"Outsiders always say that I am jealous, but I was only eight years old back then, and ten years later, I am only eighteen years old, where can I be jealous. ”

"Although I know that she is very good, she can speak early, she can recite poems to make her grandfather happy at the age of two, she can write at the age of three, and she can speak well at the age of four. ”

"But I'm only eight years old after all, and I haven't even gone to elementary school, so who knows what jealousy is. ”

"It's just their family, breaking the rules......"

"Girl, you are restless today, it seems that things have changed back then. Master Luo naturally guessed.

Chen Wanqing lowered her head: "Wang Yu saw Chen Manman in Tianbei City some time ago, and I knew that it was not simple, and the second aunt was probably prepared to retreat." ”

"I just didn't expect that this collection would be hidden for ten years. ”

Master Luo frowned: "You sent someone over?"
