Chapter Eighty-Nine: Suppression
Once Qing'er gets acquainted, she will become a lot of talkers, pulling Ren Xin to say a lot, introducing Ren Xin to all the people and things she knows in the capital, after Ren Xin heard it, she couldn't help but be impressed, it is worthy of living next to the princess's mansion is that a woman like Qing'er knows so many things. Ren Xin wanted to know more, maybe she could find some news of the stones, but Qing'er urged her to rest earlier and refused to say anything more.
Fortunately, Ren Xin was also tired, fell on the bed, and fell asleep not long after, until the next day, when the sun was on three poles, she turned over and opened her eyes slightly to meet a pair of clean eyes, and she was not awake She seemed to see Ling'er in a trance, she smiled softly, "Ling'er, early." β
"Who is Ling'er?" The boy's voice asked curiously, Ren Xin was awake at this time, the child in front of him was not Ling'er, Zhan Yue and Ling'er's eyes were so similar that she recognized the wrong person again, rubbed her eyes, and saw Zhan Yue squatting on the ground, two little hands supporting her little face, looking at her quietly.
Qing'er walked into the house with a basin of water, and saw that Ren Xin wondered why Zhan Yue was here, so she explained, "Zhan Yue woke up early. I was going to wake you up, and I happened to meet you, so I brought him with me, but when I entered the house, he saw that you were asleep, and he refused to let me call you, saying that he wanted you to have a good rest. β
"What a sweet child." Ren Xin pinched Zhanyue's little face, cleaned up with Zhanyue, and had breakfast, just as Chu Qingchen came, Zhanyue and Qing'er were also compatible, Ren Xin relieved Zhanyue to Qing'er to take care of, and followed Chu Qingchen to Xu's mansion.
Xu Fuzi's residence in the capital and Yicheng's residence, the building is almost exactly the same, when standing at the door and watching, Ren Xin has a strong sense of familiarity, as Chu Qingchen enters the house, walking between the corridors, she even has an illusion of revisiting the old place, if it is not for the people who come and go to ask for peace are all strange faces, Ren Xin will really think that he has returned to Yicheng. Chu Qingchen told Ren Xinyi that the Xu Mansion in Yicheng was built according to the master's mansion in the capital, and after Xu Fuzi left Beijing in anger, the empress often sent people to take care of this mansion......
"It seems that the empress really respects her master, otherwise, the remnants of the previous dynasty who refused to obey the change of dynasty should have been ...... and extinguished.
"Yes, however, the master is special, his master's name was given by the emperor, not only because he was the emperor's teacher, but also because he had many protΓ©gΓ©s, it can be said that the world is full of peach and plums, and now those disciples are scattered all over the city, doing different things, and the ministers of the court and the central government also have many disciples of the dead master......"
Chu Qingchen's explanation completely subverted Ren Xin's long-standing image of Xu Fuzi, an old stubborn man who loves to play tricks, and instantly felt that he was instantly tall, Ren Xin even put on some hermit masters to deliberately hide his illusion, and began to look forward to what Xu Fuzi would look like after returning to the capital, but he didn't think about it......
The housekeeper greeted him and said that Master Xu was waiting for the two of them in the chess pavilion in the back garden, Chu Qingchen said that he knew, so he sent the housekeeper to take Ren Xin with him.
As soon as he entered the garden, he looked at the stone table with chess pieces in the pavilion from a distance, Xu Fuzi stood with his hands in his hands, his back to the direction of Ren Xin, looking up at the sky at a forty-five degree angle, and the appearance of the fairy wind bones felt very literary. It's different, it's really different, it's really a retired master, and he has been pretending to be so many years! The emperor of the first emperor should have such a temperament.
Ren Xin was full of expectations for Master Xu, who had been reunited for a long time, Chu Qingchen didn't understand why Ren Xin's eyes lit up, and he approached Master Xu with Ren Xin in confusion, and saw that Master Xu was in a daze. Then he asked softly, "Master?" Ren Xin arrived. β
"Xin'er, please say hello to the master, I haven't seen you for a few months, how is the master lately?" Ren Xin wanted to come to the courtesy in front of Master Xu for a few weeks.
Xu Fuzi was pulled back to his senses by Ren Xin's voice, turned back with a bitter face, and saw Ren Xin's familiar face, he was instantly overjoyed, and even with a smile on his face, he hurriedly pulled Ren Xin to look at the chess game on the table, "Xin'er, you can be regarded as coming, come on, how do you solve this game of chess on the table?" β
Chu Qingchen was left aside by Xu Fuzi like that, looking at Xu Fuzi's enthusiasm for Ren Xin, he complained in his heart that Master Zi was eccentric, he had always been partial to Ren Xin, took two steps forward, looked at the chess game on the table, and sneered, "You haven't cracked such a simple chess game yet, and you dare to boast to me before......
"This game seems simple, but in fact it hides a mystery, and Xin'er can't understand it for a while, can you ask the master to explain it to Xin'er, and then think about how to solve the game." Ren Xin saw Master Xu's expression gradually darkening, Ren Xin shook between Chu Qingchen and the master, glared at Chu Qingchen, and hugged Master Xu to get back some face for him.
"Well, since the girl doesn't understand, the old man will explain it to you." Xu Fuzi proudly explained the chess game to Ren Xin, in fact, many places don't make sense, but Ren Xin still listened patiently and secretly snickered in his heart, negating the previous illusion of Xu Fuzi, the master is the master, never changed, never pretended, he has always been such a face-loving little old man.
Chu Qingchen saw that these two people were here again, and he bored himself to the side to find a place to sit down, his heart was full of disdain, he just didn't like Ren Xin's sleek appearance.
Xu Fuzi talked for half an hour, Ren Xin was about to fall asleep when he listened, he couldn't hold back the feeling of wanting to yawn, Ren Xin pulled the corners of his mouth to stop Xu Fuzi's words, "Master, Xin'er understands, do you think Xin'er is like this." With that, Ren Xin picked up a piece and landed lightly on the chessboard, and the whole chess game immediately became enlightened, and even reversed the disadvantage of Kuroko.
Chu Qingchen watched from the side, his eyes lit up, and he looked at Ren Xin incredulously, the step he thought of was just to make Heizi come back to life temporarily, but he didn't think that Ren Xin turned the situation around, he didn't play chess with Ren Xin, but he had played with Xu Fuzi countless times, every time this old man who didn't have chess lost and wanted to regret chess, he would say that it was boring to play chess with him Chu Qingchen......
Every time he heard Xu Fuzi talk about how he defeated Ren Xin, Chu Qingchen secretly despised Ren Xin's chess skills, and ridiculed that only two stinky chess baskets could be played together when they touched each other, but he didn't think that he was underestimating Ren Xin too much, how could he forget that Ren Xin was such a sleek and thoughtful person, and it was not impossible to deliberately let Xu Fuzi.
Xu Fuzi looked at the chess game, his heart was overjoyed, he wrote down the place where Ren Xin fell, turned around happily and ran, "Qingchen, take Xin'er around the house, I will go to the palace and come back soon!" β
Looking at the master's appearance of trotting all the way behind his back, Ren Xin had a little headache, how did he feel that the master was becoming more and more unstable, but ...... Is this what it should be like to be reunited? Excited, happy, tearful...... It seems that these feelings of the master are just going towards that game of chess, and it seems that he has never been separated from Ren Xin.
However, it's also good that no matter how long it takes, we won't feel alienated when we meet again.
"That game of chess wasn't played by you and your master, right?" Ren Xin asked Chu Qingchen lazily.
"How so?" Chu Qingchen studied the game of chess on the table without raising his head.
"If you play with the master, the master has been completely defeated, and there is no chance of resurrection, not to mention, according to the master's character, if this game is played with you, then this game will not be left at all, he will regret the chess a long time ago, and the master will enter the palace as soon as he unlocks the chess game...... It's the empress...... "Only this one guess works, after all, if it weren't for the empress's chess game, Chu Qingchen would have already broken the chess game in front of his master.
Ren Xin sat down opposite Chu Qingchen, holding the white son in her hand, intending to finish the game with Chu Qingchen, she also looked at the chess game, guessing what the empress was thinking.
The two of them stopped talking, you come and go, finish this game, because Ren Xin's son had the opportunity to fight back, the sunspot was suppressed by Baizi again and again, and unconsciously, the sunset was slanting westward, Chu Qingchen saw the trend clearly, and the abandoned son stopped playing.
"From the beginning, I should have chosen Shiroko." Chu Qingchen was not convinced, Ren Xin smiled slightly, "Baizi is not suitable for you." β
"Why?"
"Because you can't control this game so far."
"What, is it ......" Chu Qingchen looked at the chessboard, looking at the overall situation, and then looking at Ren Xin was full of surprise, could it be that she was trying to figure out the empress's mind from the beginning to play this game of chess? Chu Qingchen was convinced, "You really should meet the empress, and you will definitely be cited as a confidant." β
"Perhaps." Ren Xin also wanted to see who this empress was, she thought that the empress must be thinking of Lu Pheasant, Wu Zetian is a brave and resourceful, ruthless person, but looking at this game, the empress is strategic, but she is also benevolent, Bai Zi firmly suppresses the sunspot every time, but she will not put it to death, but deliberately leaves a room for sunspots to breathe.
"However, with Master's chess skills, I'm afraid he has lost now, and it is really harder to maintain a draw than to let him win." Chu Qingchen guessed that Xu Fuzi was holding the sunspot, and he was a little funny.
"No, it's going to end up like ours." What Ren Xin said was a matter of course, Chu Qingchen felt that Ren Xin was unfathomable for the first time, and he didn't understand how Ren Xin could say that.
"Because, in some ways, the master is very similar to you, hehehe~ However, should I say that she is kind, or is she black-bellied? Completely playing with people in applause...... "Ren Xin slowly put away the chess pieces on the table with Chu Qingchen. Chu Qingchen was full of disdain for Ren Xin's words.
The next person came and told Ren Xin and Chu Qingchen that Xu Fuzi had come back from the palace and was waiting for Ren Xin and Chu Qingchen to eat together, Ren Xin then remembered that he had been playing chess with Chu Qingchen before, and he didn't eat lunch.
