Ling Ce's mood was like a messy wind, and the chess game began to be defeated by Cui Ning, and he quickly gathered his mind and dealt with it seriously.
Fu Yuan looked down at the chess game, but Wei Qian's gaze was always on Cui Ning. When she plays chess, she is completely different from usual, not innocent, nor pretending to be dignified, but revealing calmness from her bones.
This kind of silence is not demure, it is a kind of calm and calm after experiencing strong winds and waves.
Wei Qian couldn't figure it out, she usually looked like she was lively, and it didn't look like a disguise, but what was going on with this kind of temperament? It is said that Cui Ning grew up in wealth, and the biggest setback she has experienced so far may be the death of the old lady and the dissolution of the marriage contract with Ling Ce, can these two things make her what she is now?
A game of chess lasted for an hour and a half.
"Ha! win!" Cui Ning clapped her hands and said happily, "My cousin has conceded!"
Ling Ce arched his hand and said, "My cousin is superb in chess. ”
In fact, if it was a fair game from the beginning, Ling Ce might not lose, he was a little distracted at first, and then after gaining the upper hand, he was entangled in whether to let her go back, and when he found that her chess strength was not weak and decided to deal with it with all his heart, he might as well be blocked by her tricks to retreat, and then he was defeated and retreated, unable to return to the sky.
"It's not early. Wei Qian said.
This game of chess is indeed a bit long.
"Thank you, Little Brother Cui, for your hospitality. "Fu Yuan is a very considerate person. Today's banquet was quite attentive, and he guessed the meaning behind Ling's family, "There will be a poetry meeting in Lotte Curie the day after tomorrow." Junior Brother Cui is coming to a party?"
Lotte Ju is also a restaurant where they opened several together, and they were pitted more than a thousand times that day.
"By all means. Cui couldn't help but be excited, he used to play with older people from time to time, but they had never invited him to a poetry party.
The three of them said that they were about to leave.
Cui Ning pursed her lips and followed Cui Jing out of them.
It happened that Wei Qian was walking at the back, Cui Ning couldn't help but tug at his sleeve and whispered. "Wei Changyuan Langjun, can you take a step to speak?"
Wei Qian made a backhand move. Cui Ning thought that he was going to break free, but he couldn't help but be disappointed, but he didn't expect his big sleeves to shake slightly, covering his movements. She felt that her palms were hot, and there was an extra note in her hand in the blink of an eye.
And he walked away with the others as if nothing had happened.
Cui Ning took advantage of their inattention to sneak away, ran to a no-man's corner to open the note, and saw a few words on the back of the paper: Tomorrow at noon, Lotte Ju.
Cui Ning was overjoyed, and immediately thought, when did he write the note? Could it be that it was ready when he first came?
"Say hello tomorrow. Cui Ning's heart was settled, and he decided to try all the treasure knives sent by Ling Ce today. If not, she will go to worship Wei Qian as a teacher tomorrow and ask him to teach her how to find clues and then follow the vine.
Cui Ning went back and told Ling that he was going out at noon tomorrow. At first, Ling disagreed, but when she moved her grandfather out, Ling readily agreed.
After settling the Ling family, Cui Ning went to ask Cui Xuanbi to let him go, saying that his mother had agreed and arranged it, so Cui Xuanbi didn't ask much.
I had a good time booking for tomorrow's trip. When I returned to the house, I found nine long wooden boxes in the hall. Cui Ning froze suddenly, and then his heart began to beat uncontrollably.
Knife......
"Lady, this is something that Xiao Langjun just sent me. Qingxin handed her a letter, "This is the gift list." ”
Cui Ning took the gift list, "You all go out and close the door." ”
"Yes. Qingxin led a few maids who were cleaning up in the house out.
The door closed, and the light in the room suddenly dimmed a lot, Cui Ning covered her heart, and her eyes became wet all of a sudden.
Cui Ning wiped away her tears, opened the gift list and took a look, which introduced the name, history, and who owned each knife.
Putting down the list, she took a deep breath and walked over to the boxes, stroking the cool wood with both hands.
After calming down a little, she took out all the nine knives and put them on the Hu bed, took out two Pisces jade pendants and began to try.
Once, twice, three times......
With each sword, she became a little nervouser, and by the last one, her heart was in her throat!
However, when the two jade pendants still did not react, she was not surprised, and even felt that she had expected it a long time ago, but she couldn't accept this result, and sat paralyzed as if her whole body had been drained of her strength, her eyes were full of confusion.
Cui Ning couldn't explain her current mood.
Obviously, everything has been thought of, and even Wei Qian's alternate way out has been prepared.
There were knives on the bed, and she sat in the center holding two jade pendants in a daze.
I don't know how long it took for her to suddenly come back to her senses, and when she wanted to try again, she found that it was already dark.
Qinglu, who was guarding outside, heard the movement and asked, "Lady, do you want the slave to light the lamp?"
"Light the lights. Cui Ning spoke, only to realize that his voice was hoarse.
Qinglu came in and turned on the lamp, and couldn't help but be surprised when he saw the situation in the house, "Isn't the lady sleeping?"
When Qingxin changed shifts with her, she only told her not to disturb her mother for the time being, and she didn't say anything, and she also whispered to Cui Ning in the middle, but she didn't get an answer, she thought her mother was sleeping.
"You go out and don't disturb me. Cui Ning said.
Qingxin saw that her face was a little pale, and said worriedly, "The lady is not feeling well?"
"It's okay, you go out first. Cui Ning said.
Cui Ning giggled all day long, and it was rare for her to be so strict, Qingxin didn't dare to refute it at first glance, and retreated silently.
"It must be the wrong method I just tried. Cui Ning told himself, it must be like this!
So she took the two jade pendants and tried them again and again, and even tried them one by one after unsheathing all the knives, but there was no response.
Qinglu asked outside several times, but she didn't hear it.
A few hours passed, and the lights in the house were like beans and were about to go out.
Qinglu couldn't help but say again, "Lady, it's the second watch, let's rest early?"
Cui Ning watched as the lights slowly weakened, and then the room fell into darkness.
"Lady?" Qinglu shouted, but still did not respond, so he added, "If you don't squeak, the slave will go in." ”
After not getting a response for a long time, Qinglu gently pushed the door in.
The light of the lantern on the porch shone in, and Qinglu let out a low cry of fright.
Cui Ning sat on the Hu bed, her hair was slightly messy, her eyes were red, her face was pale, she didn't react at all when she saw her come in, she looked like a ghost in the dim light.
"Lady?" Qinglu approached in horror, and said in his heart, isn't these knives clean?
"Qinglu, light the lamp. Cui Ning said slowly.
Qinglu hurriedly agreed, and changed the light again.
The room slowly lit up, and Cui Ning said, "You go back and rest, I want to be alone today, I don't want you to be on duty all night." ”
"Is the lady really not uncomfortable?" asked Qinglu.
Yes She felt like she was going to collapse...... But no one could help her.
Cui Ning was extremely helpless, but she could only force herself to answer, "No." (My novel will have more fresh content on the official WeChat platform, and there will be a 100% lottery gift for everyone!Open WeChat now, click on the "+" sign in the upper right corner to "add friends", search for the official account "qdread" and follow, hurry up!)
