Yan Tong was still a little incredulous, but Ping'er had already snorted and walked away ignoring him.

Obviously, he wanted to ask, but she said that he didn't believe it!

Ping'er also breathed a sigh of relief.

She walked to the bottom of the wandering gallery and saw Huanxi coming over with a vase, and couldn't help muttering a few words to her, "Do you say that Mr. Yan is a strange person, he asked me where Mr. Jing came from, I told him that he was brought back from the Lantern Festival, and he didn't believe it, and asked me why I didn't believe it!" ”

Huanxi was taken aback, she didn't know what Ping'er said to Yan Tong.

"What did you say to Mr. Yan?" Huanxi asked her in a low voice.

Ping'er glanced at her, "I only said that Miss won the chess game and brought it back, and I didn't say anything else." ”

Huanxi breathed a sigh of relief and poked her forehead hard, "Go to work quickly, and talk to Mr. Yan less in the future!" ”

Steward Kong and Mr. Yan are both human spirits, and it would be terrible if they heard something catty.

Ping'er is open-mouthed again, although it has been much better after Qinglan's training, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be any loopholes.

"I know what to say and what not to say." Ping'er whispered in her ear, "Don't worry, I've grown up." ”

Huanxi couldn't cry or laugh.

Yan Tong turned his head and went back to find Mr. Jing.

He thought it was incredible.

"Old gentleman." He said tentatively, "I heard that you have a chess game that was broken by our third lady, I wonder if there is such an honor in the game that you can enjoy this game?" ”

Jing Dan raised his head, a pair of cloudy eyes blazing.

"You want to see it?" He looked Yan Tong up and down, and laughed after a while, "Are you worthy?" ”

Yan Tong was irritated by his words, and his face turned red and white for a while.

This old gentleman really doesn't give him any face.

"Old man, my chess skills are indeed inferior to yours, but I humbly ask you for advice, how can you be so deceitful?!" He said loudly with a red face, not knowing whether he was angry or annoyed, or to hide his embarrassment.

"Deception?" When Mr. Jing heard this, he stared at him suspiciously, "You said that the old man is a deception?" Where am I deceiving people? ”

He's just telling the truth. Where did you bully him?

Yan Tong's face turned even redder.

"You say I don't deserve to watch your chess game...... "What is this not deception?

He didn't say the rest of the words.

Mr. Jing suddenly realized.

"Oh, did I bully you when I said you didn't deserve it?" He looked at Yan Tong, his white beard swaying as he spoke, "Your chess skills are not as good as a three-year-old child." How can you say that I deceived you? ”

What the? Not even a three-year-old child?!

Yan Tong was really angry this time.

"You're still not convinced?" Mr. Jing waved his hand and said, "In this case, you go to your young lady, if you can win your young lady, then you can come to me again." ”

He said. didn't look at Yan Tong, but continued to fiddle with the black and white chess pieces in front of him.

Yan Tong was so angry that he threw up his sleeves and went to find Qiu Ci.

He really didn't believe it, even if the third lady was talented, it was impossible for her to beat him!

He has been playing chess for decades, and the third lady is not yet twelve years old, how can he not even win against a little girl?

Yan ventilated and rushed to the West Cross Courtyard, and suddenly stopped before he felt that something was wrong.

He's just a subordinate, how can he ask the third lady for advice?

Huanxi was fiddling with flowers and plants in the yard, and when he saw him coming in in a hurry, he added what Ping'er said before. She'd guessed most of it.

"Mr. Yan." Huanxi saluted him and said, "Is there anything wrong with you?" ”

Yan Tong was thinking about what to say, but it happened that Huanxi spoke first, so he continued to speak.

"It's the Huanxi girl." He smiled and said, "Actually, it's nothing, just now I saw an old gentleman playing chess outside the door, he is very skilled in chess, and he is full of praise for the third lady between words." ”

When he said this, Huanxi knew his intentions, and probably came to learn chess skills from their young lady.

"I heard that the third lady also broke the old gentleman's endgame at the Lantern Festival. Yan Mou was also quite interested in the endgame in his life, so he took the liberty to come and ask for advice. ”

It is said that a subordinate should not come to the young lady for advice, but Yan Tong was mad just now. Since he rushed in, he simply said it in one breath.

Huanxi smiled, "I wonder how Mr. Yan wants to ask?" ”

Yan Tong immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

This Huanxi has decent words and deeds, generous manners, and even does not lose to the big girl cultivated in the Hou Mansion between conversations, now listen to her tone. He had a good chance of seeing Miss Three, and he might see the endgame.

He hurriedly said that he didn't dare, "As long as Yan witnesses the endgame of Mr. Jing, his remaining wishes are enough." ”

Huanxi looked at him, nodded and said, "Mr. Yan, please wait, I'll go and report to Miss." ”

Yan Tong returned the salute, "There is Miss Lao Huanxi." ”

When Huanxi entered, Ping'er was talking to Qiuci, and her eyebrows were dancing.

"Miss." Huanxi stepped forward and said, "Mr. Yan is out asking to see you." ”

Before Qiu Ci could speak, Ping'er had already covered her mouth and laughed, "Miss, look, I said it well, right?" Mr. Yan came to the door immediately. ”

Huanxi suddenly understood, Ping'er was talking about this just now.

She glared at Ping'er and said, "Who told you to chew your tongue in front of Miss." “

Ping'er grimaced at her.

"What is he here for?" ”

"He said he wanted to see Mr. Jing's endgame." Huanxi said.

Qiu Ji pondered for a moment, "Let him wait in the main house." ”

There was a fire in the main room, the whole room was warm, and a large vase was placed on the table next to the window, with a few plums on it, and snacks and tea were prepared on several tables.

Yan Tong sat in the room for a long time and drank a few cups of tea, only then did he see the vermilion curtain at the door move, the figure flashed, the curtain was provoked, and a moon-white figure walked in.

He hurriedly got up and saluted.

"Third Miss."

Qiu Ci put on a moon-white fox fur coat, the neckline was also a pinch of soft and pure white fox fur, and a thick hat was worn on her head.

Yan Tong had already suppressed his surprise - the third lady's outfit couldn't be bought without two hundred taels of silver, and the fox fur coat alone would cost more than one hundred taels to say the least!

Two hundred taels, almost three years of his annual salary!

Qiu Ci sat down on the upper seat, picked up the teacup in his hand and took a sip, and then said slowly, "I heard Huanxi say that Mr. Yan wants to see the endgame, right?" ”

"Yes, Yan has the courage to trouble the third lady." Yan Tong said with a bit of sneering, "It's really Yan's love of chess and obsession, and I hope that the third lady will be successful." ”

Another chess-loving man?

Wouldn't that be a pair with Mr. Jing?

Qiu Ci suddenly became happy.

If the two of them play chess, will Mr. Jing forget her master?

"No trouble." Although Qiu Ci was happy in her heart, her face was still calm, and she instructed Huanxi, "Huanxi, take chess." ”
