Chapter Twenty-Four: Life Is Like Chess
In the last game, Chang Yuan accidentally lost, and this time, he has to win back a game. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The two of them went back and forth, not letting each other go, and both looked at the chessboard intently.
Yin Yaxuan came in with tea for the second time, and neither of them looked up.
She put the two cups of tea in the hands of the two of them, Yin Mingzhao took a sip of the teacup, and couldn't help but raise her eyes to look at her sister standing beside her.
Yin Yaxuan raised her eyebrows and looked at her brother, smiling without saying a word.
What she brewed for Chang Yuan was the West Lake Longjing, but what she could brew for her brother was still the medicinal tea sent by Chi Yao.
Yin Mingzhao raised his eyebrows, didn't say anything, and continued to play chess intently.
In this game, Chang Yuan won.
"Brother Yin, I agreed. "Chang Yuan won the chess and was in a good mood.
Yin Yaxuan watched quietly, this young man is young, his chess skills are so exquisite, and he is also a talent.
"Brother, lunch is ready, I'll let Xi'er come in. Yin Yaxuan saw that the two of them had finally finished playing, and said loudly.
On weekdays, Yin Mingzhao's meals are eaten in his own room, and presumably today, lunch will be placed in his brother's room.
"I asked Aunt Zhao to come over and eat too. After speaking, Yin Yaxuan walked out of the room.
After Chang Yuan heard the girl call Yin Mingzhao his brother, he was a little confused.
"Brother Yin, who is this girl?"
"Little sister Yin Yaxuan. ”
"It turned out to be Brother Yin's sister, no wonder. "No wonder it's so good.
Yin Mingzhao is as gentle as jade, with a handsome face, and can be called a handsome son, but unfortunately, he suffers from leg disease.
After Xi'er set the meal, Aunt Zhao and Yin Yaxuan also sat down, and the four of them had lunch together.
Yin Mingzhao didn't have anything to say, and there was silence at the dinner table for a while.
Chang Yuan's eyes always looked at Yin Yaxuan, and Yin Yaxuan gradually felt uncomfortable, so she simply raised her head and looked back.
Chang Yuan peeked at Yin Yaxuan being caught, and lowered his head to eat in a panic, but the chopsticks were not clamped steadily, and the rice fell on the table before he could eat it.
With a snort, Yin Yaxuan couldn't help laughing.
"Xuan'er, don't make trouble. The corners of Yin Mingzhao's mouth raised slightly, and he glanced at his sister.
"It's okay, Sister Xuan'er is lively and cute, I don't care. Chang Yuan also smiled, there was a stupidity in this smile.
His voice of Xuan'er's sister was extremely natural, as if she had called it a thousand and eight hundred times, and Yin Yaxuan was stunned when she heard it, and a mouthful of soup was stuck in her throat and choked.
"Ahem......" Aunt Zhao patted Yin Yaxuan's back and glared at her son.
Yin Mingzhao smiled and diverted the topic.
"Chang Yuan, how are you preparing for next month's exam?"
"It's not good, that's it. ”
Chang Yuan is young, smart, and his grades are good, but he lacks a trace of hard work.
Speaking of the exam, Yin Yaxuan couldn't help but look at her brother.
The reason why my brother went home at noon today was because the afternoon class was riding and shooting, and my brother's legs naturally couldn't go, so he went home.
But why didn't Chang Yuan come to the house instead of class?
"Brother, you won't skip class with others, right? ”
Chang Yuan listened, and hurriedly put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand and explained: "No, I took leave from my master." ”
If you don't attend class, you take leave and come to their house to steal time, isn't this skipping class?
"Chang Yuan is a good boy at first glance, and he must have taken leave because of something. Aunt Zhao took a chopstick dish and put it into Chang Yuan's bowl with a smile.
Chang Yuan took it, thanked him, and buried himself in eating.
Somehow, Yin Yaxuan felt that this Chang Yuan was stupid, but Aunt Zhao seemed to like him tightly, and she served Chang Yuan with chopsticks and chopsticks.
After the meal, Aunt Zhao and Xi'er went down to wash the dishes, Yin Yaxuan ate snacks and watched her brother and Chang Yuan play the third game of chess.
"Didn't eat enough just now?" Yin Mingzhao asked when he saw that a plate of dim sum had bottomed out.
Yin Yaxuan looked at the chessboard and said with a full mouth: "I'm full, but Aunt Zhao's craftsmanship is so good, I can't stop eating it." ”
Chang Yuan looked at Yin Yaxuan and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, Sister Xuan'er is at the age of growing her body, so she should eat more." ”
"Yes. Yin Yaxuan agreed.
In this game of chess, Chang Yuan lost again.
However, Yin Yaxuan felt that the reason why he lost should be because he was next to him, so he couldn't concentrate on playing chess.
Something on her face?
"You play chess, you play chess, it always depends on what I do?"
At the beginning of the fourth game of chess, Chang Yuan didn't know what was wrong, it was not at the same level as the first two games, Yin Yaxuan couldn't help but ask.
Chang Yuan's face turned red again, as if it was about to drip blood.
"It's almost time, Chang Yuan, your family's affairs should be taken care of. Yin Mingzhao saw that this chess should not be able to continue.
"It should ...... Yes, then I'll go. Chang Yuan got up almost immediately when Yin Mingzhao's words fell.
"Thank you Brother Yin for your hospitality, and thank you Sister Xuan'er for your hospitality, Sister Xuan'er likes to eat jujube mud cakes, the jujube mud cakes made by my mother are delicious, next time I come to bring some, Sister Xuan'er will try it." After Chang Yuan finished speaking in one breath, he immediately turned around, rubbed his hands and left.
"Wu Si, send Chang Gongzi. Yin Mingzhao said.
Wu Si, who had been waiting outside the door, immediately appeared and sent Chang Yuan out.
After Chang Yuan left, only the two brothers and sisters were left in the room, and there was a game of chess.
"Xuan'er, what do you think of Chang Gongzi?" Yin Mingzhao asked for no reason, and Yin Yaxuan was stunned.
"Isn't he your friend, ask me what to do?" Yin Yaxuan blinked and ate the last piece of jujube cake.
"It seems that you don't like this Chang Gongzi anymore. Yin Mingzhao took back the chess pieces on the chessboard one by one.
Yin Yaxuan chewed again and again until all the food in her mouth was swallowed, and then she said, "No, I just think he is stupid." ”
"Xuan'er, you're still young. Yin Mingzhao looked at his sister with a faint smile in his eyes.
Yin Yaxuan sighed in her heart, what does this mean, brother?
Chang Yuan looked at her reaction, obviously a teenager who was just starting to fall in love, but she was not a child who didn't understand people, so she couldn't see it.
This Chang Yuan, she will still avoid it in the future.
"Come, accompany me to the next game. Putting away the last piece on the chessboard, Yin Mingzhao suddenly spoke.
Yin Yaxuan's body stiffened and said, "Brother, I don't know how to play chess." ”
"It's okay, I'll teach you. Yin Mingzhao waved his hand and motioned for her to sit opposite him.
Yin Yaxuan did where Chang Yuan was sitting, picked up a white piece in her hand, and gently landed on the chessboard.
Her chess skills are not superb, but they are not bad either.
In the qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, she didn't like to play chess the most and found it boring, so she didn't put much effort into it, but just studied with the chess master for a few years, at least worthy of the identity of the prime minister's daughter.
But now, when she picks up the chess pieces again, she has a faint impulse.
Isn't her current life like a huge chessboard, but is she a chess player or a chess piece on this chessboard?
