promised to say goodbye to Ye Niangzi, and when he came down from the top of the mountain, the crabs were steaming by the stream, and the fragrance was overflowing. Xu Promise is a good hand at peeling crabs, picked the three largest ones and peeled them for the Lu family, and peeled one for the Zhong family's eldest son Xu Shilang, and in order to show filial piety, he had to peel one for the Zhang family.

Until Shen Shi went down the mountain, he didn't see anyone from the Wang family, obviously because he got the news that the Xu family was on the mountain and avoided it.

On the way back to the house, he promised to share a car with the Lu family, took the Lu family's hand and asked, "Mother, do you know what kind of person our new general judge is?"

Lu Shi turned his head to look at Xu Yue, seeing the curiosity in her eyes, the corners of his mouth turned slightly, and he took a grape from the silver plate on the table and stuffed it into her mouth: "You kid, don't ask if you shouldn't ask something?"

"Mother, do you know what the child is going to ask?" Xu asked while chewing the grapes, with an innocent face.

Lu Shi found a comfortable posture and leaned against the wall of the car, and said with a light smile: "Ye Niangzi's family business is excellent, you and her master and apprentice, although you can't attend her wedding, prepare a congratulatory gift." ”

promised to find out that his mother was really not a gossip person, and he didn't even say it to her until now.

"Congratulatory gift children will be well prepared, but you can tell me about this Liu Tongju, how does he look?"

Father and mother are a perfect match, what are you thinking!

Lu Shi glanced at the promise, her daughter asked the general judge so clearly about her appearance, could it be that she was a person who valued her appearance?

"Ye Niangzi is such a wonderful person, the husband she chooses must be excellent, don't you believe her vision?" Although the Lu family has seen this Liu Tongju. But she didn't want to discuss others behind her back, not to mention that person was about to become Ye Niangzi's husband, so she avoided answering.

He asked twice but didn't get an answer, and he didn't ask about anything else. In his heart, he was planning to sneak out one day to take a look, what kind of character could make Ye Niangzi change her mind.

A few days later, Xu promised to leave Suzhou under the pretext of leaving. I'm going to go out for a day. Lu arranged a carriage and asked Chuntang and July to accompany her out.

Promise naturally found a place for the carriage to stop, and he changed into men's clothes in the car. Let Chuntang wait for her in the car in July and go directly to the government office.

Where Xu Gucheng used to work, Xu promised to be very familiar with it, and he found Liu Tong's judgment after a while.

In a four-cornered pavilion. She saw two people playing against each other, the man with his back to her wearing official robes. Naturally, it was Liu Tongju, and the other person was Zhu Shang.

Xu Promise thought disdainfully in his heart, the new official just came, and Zhu Shang came over to flatter. Is it to open up the relationship with his business?

In order to see Liu Tongju's appearance clearly, she cautiously went to the other side, hiding behind the bushes to open a gap.

Liu Tong judged thick eyebrows and long eyes. He has a short beard on his jaw and an angular face. The gaze is calm but extraordinarily profound, obviously having experienced the vicissitudes of the world.

promised to feel that he was worthy of Mrs. Ye at the moment.

In the quadrangular pavilion, the victory and defeat have been divided.

Liu Tong judged and conceded. Zhu Shang squinted and said with a smile.

Liu Tongju also gave his hand: "More than a year ago, my chess strength was not as good as Mr. Beijiang, and now the gap between you and me is even farther, ashamed and ashamed." ”

Xu Promise has a good ear, squatting in the bushes and listening to the conversation between the two, if it was many years ago, when Zhu Shang was only a teenager in his early tens, did he have such chess skills?

This Liu Tongju is also too modest, and Ye Niangzi doesn't like people who are too modest.

"Where is this, Liu Tongju is a court official for the people and the country, a certain is just a small businessman, and he often does nothing on weekdays, so Liu Tong is ashamed to say. Zhu Shang flicked the dust on his sleeve, and said lightly. …

Liu Tongju has such an identity, why do you still call Mr. Zhu Shang, he is just a businessman.

"Mr. Beijiang should not be humble, but Mr. really will never go to Bianjing again? Liu Tongju took a sip of the teacup and said with pity on his face.

Zhu Shang's eyes that had been squinting opened slightly, and he squinted again in an instant, and his voice was a little lower: "There are some things, I hope you don't mention it again, and it is time for so-and-so to return." ”

Liu Tongju hurriedly got up and said with a smile: "Thanks to Mr. Beijiang this time, if there is no Mr., it is not certain where this general judgment will be." "If you can't come to Suzhou as an official, Ye Niangzi will not agree to marry him.

"There's nothing to worry about, you've paid it back. Zhu Shang said and turned to leave.

Liu Tongju also left.

Xu Promise squatted in the bushes with a puzzled face, why did the conversation between the two just now give people such a strong sense of disobedience?

Obviously, Liu Tong sentenced Zhu Shang to be ten years old, why did the two feel that Zhu Shang was an elder when they talked, and he was an elder who was twenty or thirty years older?

Where does Liu Tongju's respect for Zhu Shang come from?

In curiosity, he promised to find that the people in the courtyard were all gone, so he went into the pavilion and looked at the chessboard, and at a glance his heart turned up in turmoil.

Her chess skills are very good, and she can see that the black pawn has an absolute advantage in the game just now, and she actually won ten white pawns after calculating it.

Winning ten discs alone wasn't enough to surprise the promise, the point was the cunning of black's chess, and the sense of strategizing kept her eyes off it for a long time.

Zhu Shang turned out to be such a master?

If there is such a chess skill, the word Mr. can also be called.

Promise to quickly jot down the game, prepare to study it when you get back, and then pull out your legs and run out.

Liu Tong's words just now lingered in her mind, and she will never return to Bianjing again? Thanks to Mr.

What kind of person is Zhu Shang, does Hu Ling know?

I was stunned just by looking at my face, and I didn't know if I was sold when the time came.

Outside the mansion, Promise hijacked Zhu Shang.

"Yo, Xu Liu, what a coincidence. Zhu Shang was walking with his hands in his hands, and suddenly there was a short guy in front of him, and as soon as he looked down, he saw the promise.

Xu Promise smiled, stretched out his hand and made a gesture of please, and the two of them walked together to a restaurant not far away.

After entering the private room, he promised to start with the first sentence: "I watched the game of chess just now." ”

Zhu Shang smiled even more when he heard this: "It's not enough for the six ladies of the Xu family to jump over the wall and window at night, and now they are doing it during the day?"

"You know what I'm asking, but you can choose not to. Xu promised's curiosity about Zhu Shang was not only because he was alone, but also because he was familiar with Fang Jing and Xiao Yuan.

The square mirror table word Jingping, twenty-three years old.

What kind of person is he, he has clearly seen the memory of the original owner, qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, or swordsmanship, martial arts, and even sic bo, he can be praised for taking out anything at will, but he is very low-key, what kind of heart must be taken to maintain this.

As for Xiao Yuan, he has a bad reputation, but he is also thriving in Bianjing, as long as he is in public, he will always have a cynical attitude, but his skills, chess skills, and even painting, promises have been seen, and he is definitely not a Cheng dù that ordinary aristocratic children can achieve.

Zhu Shang himself, Xu Promise has always thought that he is only good at business, but now judging from his chess skills, he is also an extremely well-educated person and has a wide range of contacts.

The heirs of ordinary families, even if they are talented, will not have such an excellent appearance.

"Then I choose not to say it, I heard that you are going to that place in Bianjing, today I have a treat and let you have a good meal. Zhu Shang leaned lazily, squinting and smiling.

The refusal is so direct!

Xu Promise is not the one who breaks the casserole and asks to the end, at least he will not be difficult, but he also unceremoniously seized Zhu Shang's rare opportunity to be willing to bleed, and ordered a whole table of the most expensive dishes in this restaurant. …

After the dishes came up, he didn't stop talking about the chopsticks, but Zhu Shang only used a little of each.

When they were leaving, a little guy came up, the corners of his mouth were about to crack to the root of his ears, and said to Zhu Shang with a smile: "Shopkeeper, what do you think of our new dish?"

"Okay, these prices can be set higher. Zhu Shang had a little more seriousness on his face, and ordered a few dishes with his fingers.

After Xu Promise, he learned that this restaurant was newly opened by Zhu Shang, and he was originally going to try it, but he just called her by the way.

I know that Zhu Shang is an iron rooster, how can he pluck his feathers for no reason?

After saying goodbye to Zhu Shang, he promised to buy some random things and go to meet Chuntang and them.

On September 20, the Lu family organized the birthday of Mrs. Xu, and then returned the affairs of the family to the Ding family, and began to pack the things to be brought to Bianjing.

A group of maids in the Promise Courtyard vied with each other, and they couldn't wait to be dangling under the nose of the promise all day long, and they were all counting on going to Bianjing, and the promise was annoyed, so he directly said that when he left, he only took Chuntang and July, and the rest of the people stayed.

A group of handmaidens wilted directly.

It is inconvenient to travel long distances, and then bring a group of maidservants, all kinds of exquisiteness along the way, no matter how big or small, will inevitably delay the trip, and promise to prefer to travel lightly.

Although it is likely that he will not come back after leaving this time, he promised not to bring anything more, but he took the plaque of the Ming Hibiscus Pavilion with him.

Some of the jewelry that she didn't use much in the future, as well as other ornaments, she gave to the maids who had served her for more than half a year, just to appease their hearts about not being able to enter Beijing.

When everything is ready, it's time to set off.

In addition to Lu's, Xu Promise, Ji Xuan, and a family of four in three rooms on this trip.

Xu Gulei proposed to congratulate his father-in-law, Mrs. Zhong, on his birthday.

Although the mention was in a hurry and a little abrupt, the Zhong family had not returned to his parents' house for many years, and the Zhang family thought about it and agreed.

As for Xu Qian, she stayed in the house.

She will marry in August and October next year, according to Xu Gucheng's meaning, let her come to the capital again next year and before the time, and then marry directly.

Halfway through the walk, the crowd changed into jackets.

Xu had conceived many times in her mind that there was a robber in her mind to protect the Lu clan from danger, but unexpectedly, the carriage went all the way safely and steadily, without giving her a chance to show it.

In fact, Xu Gucheng ordered the guards selected by Su Ye to be top-notch, and if there was anything, it would be solved in advance, and the promise on the carriage would not be noticed. (To be continued)
