Chapter 34 Chess Tournament
The third lady's aggrieved expression froze, she didn't expect this old immortal to react so quickly. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Then she had to adjust her strategy.
The third lady adjusted her expression, her eyes widened in astonishment, and said: "Mother, wronged, daughter-in-law doesn't! Daughter-in-law has never thought about it like this, besides, mother, you are so shrewd, what kind of detours are you not like a mirror, how dare your daughter-in-law get an axe?"
"It's best if you don't have it. The old lady glanced at her, obviously not convinced.
The eldest lady pouted in her heart, who didn't know the careful thinking of the third brother and sister, when the little girl was in the Zhuangzi, the third brother and sister didn't forget to grind others, this is back, but you have to think of a way to torture.
"Mother, it doesn't matter if she never asks for my consent from filial piety, the important thing is that how can she leave the house without permission at this hour?"
As if she couldn't understand the old lady's eyes, the third lady began to analyze Gu Ruxuan's behavior of leaving the house with a serious face: "Mother, now I really want to let her out, I won't say that she is young and ignorant, but only that my mother-in-law is negligent in discipline and deliberately connived at my sister's daughter, and my stepmother has always been embarrassed, she is trying to trap her daughter-in-law in injustice, mother!"
Speaking of which, it's not for her own reputation, the old lady and the eldest lady said at the same time in their hearts.
"What's more, the outside will say that we Gu Fu...... The family style is corrupt!" "The third lady finally used a killer move, you don't care about my reputation, I don't believe in the reputation of the entire Gu Mansion, and you don't care either."
Sure enough, the old lady plucked the hand of the Buddha beads, and the eldest lady wiped the hand at the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief after taking a sip of tea.
The third lady was secretly proud in her heart, and continued: "The young lady in whose house is not knowledgeable, and she does not step out of the door, and occasionally goes out by carriage, covering her face with a scarf, which ...... I'm afraid that it will affect the family affairs of the Jiaojiao people in the house, and if it spreads, even the Yun'er in the capital will be affected!"
If you move out of the reputation and family affairs of the daughters of the Gu Mansion, especially the matter of Gu Ruyun, the second-room concubine in the capital, I don't believe you can still sit still.
"Presumptuous! she dares!" Sure enough, the old lady's expression was still calm, but when she heard the words behind her, her eyes immediately turned red with anger, "Mother Yu, you go to find someone to see if the wild girl really plans to leave the house!"
The third daughter-in-law said well, she can't even have this idea, she still has to beat Gu Ruxuan's wild girl!
I have to say that the third lady still knows the old lady very well, if it only involves her face image as a mother-in-law, of course the old lady will not care, but when it comes to the family style of the Gu Mansion, the family affairs of the Jiaojiao, especially the family affairs of Gu Ruyun, who is expected to be far away in the capital, this is definitely poking at the weakness of the old lady Gu.
And before Yu's mother received the order, she ran into a little girl in a panic outside and reported loudly: "Oh no, no, old lady!
"Smack!" The old lady fell to the ground with the Buddha beads in her hand, stood up on the ground, and her angry lips trembled: "It's the opposite, it's the opposite!
The old lady's anger was rushing in her chest, and the two eyeballs were about to fall off angrily: "Go! Go to the whole steward of the eldest master's side, let him take someone there, and tie up the evil obstacle back to me!"
In fact, the sun had not yet completely set at this time, and there was still some hour before the so-called darkness.
Gu Ruxuan's master and servant walked leisurely on the lively main street[10], lined with shops.
The twilight sunset lazily sprinkled on the red bricks and green tiles, and even the signature cloth sails swaying in the wind were dyed with a faint poetry.
Passing by, there are faces that are indifferent, hurried, joyful, or sorrowful, of course, there are basically no young ladies who travel alone, occasionally passing by one or two women, all of whom cover their faces with thin gauze, and hurried by.
It is really rare to see a young lady like Gu Ruxuan who is calmly dangling on the street.
"Mingfu, do you know what is the fastest money around here?" asked Gu Ruxuan.
She didn't want to wake up and face a yard like that, but if she wanted to clean up that dilapidated yard, she had to have silver first.
Qiu Mingfu thought about it, hesitated a little, and finally said truthfully: "If you want to say that the money is the fastest, of course it is gambling, but it is just ......" The master is a girl after all, how can she go to that kind of mixed place, and besides, gambling, those who have the ability can make money quickly, and those who don't have the ability will lose faster.
"It's just that I don't want to gamble. "I don't want to, it's not that I won't, besides, she doesn't even have a silver gambling book, what to bet on.
"Is there any other way?"
Qiu Mingfu thought about it seriously, and immediately saw the silver, except for gambling, there were only all kinds of lottery heads.
"Speaking of which, there is really one item, there is a chess tournament in Juxian Building, and the lottery head is 1,000 taels of gold. ”
In the east of the city, there is a former dynasty champion Lang Chen master, recently added a new grandson in the house, baptism three ceremonies do not want to be conventional, in the city Juxian Lou wrapped two floors, ingenious held a chess conference, for three days, today is the last day.
Legend has it that the winner will receive a manuscript from Master Chen, or a thousand taels of gold.
Of course, anyone who is knowledgeable knows how to make a choice.
Master Chen's beautiful handwriting was quite famous in the capital at that time, and it was unique in Linzhou City until now.
It's just that there are very few handwritten books from Master Chen, which can be regarded as hard to find, and now that such a colorful head is set up, the scholars and talents in Linzhou City are ready to move.
Chen Zhuangyuangong's beautiful handwriting, it's hard to find! Who doesn't want to win it back if he has the ability?
In this way, it can also be imagined how exciting and intense the chess competition was.
Of course, there are still some laypeople who go for money, such as Gu Ruxuan and his party who are discussing this matter.
"Now that we have passed, we should still be able to catch up with the final competition of the chess conference, but ......" Qiu Mingfu paused, and said with a somewhat ashamed expression: "It's just that the chess skills of my subordinates are limited, so I'm afraid of ...... I'm afraid that if I go, I won't be able to come out on top and share the worries of my master. ”
After saying that, he regretted it again, his brain was hot for a while, and he told his master what he was doing, saying that there was no way to get the first place, and the thousand taels of gold were still watching, and they couldn't reach the master's hands.
It's better not to say it.
The corners of Gu Ruxuan's mouth lifted lightly, revealing a shallow smile: "It's okay, I'll teach you." ”
Zhengjie [10]: The meaning of street, there was no street in ancient times, and it was divided into official roads, main streets, alleys, and alleys.
