Hearing Chen Dequan say this, Hong Qian immediately said with a serious face: "Come on, just say what you say in front of me, don't let others hear it, otherwise it will cause a storm." ”

Hearing his words, Chen Dequan said angrily: "Don't worry, I still know this bit of proportion." Don't forget that I've been through the storm, so how can I not be vigilant at all. To tell the truth, that is, in front of you, if it were someone else, these words would not reveal a word to death. ”

Seeing Chen Dequan's reaction, Hong Qian couldn't help but smile and said, "I'm afraid that you've had too much time over the years, so I deliberately reminded you." It's been an eventful time in the court lately, and your status is very special, so you must be more cautious in what you say and do. ”

After listening to the reminder of his old friend, Chen De was moved wholeheartedly, but he said with a smile on the surface: "Don't worry, I am loyal to the Holy Lord, who can be unfavorable to me?" If there's one place where people can take advantage of it, it's my friendship with you. It's a pity that you're too principled and never take advantage of the friendship between the two of us, so that's the hardest point to take advantage of. ”

Hearing this, Hong Qian sighed softly, and then said with a smile: "So many people have befriended you, but you are relatively close to me, it turns out that it is because of this." ”

Seeing that he had the intention to joke, Chen Dequan immediately replied with a smile: "Haha, you only figured it out now, is it too late?" With your ability to react, how did you stay in officialdom for so many years? If you had met me a few years ago, I guess I wouldn't have the scenery I have today. Ha ha. ”

was teased by him, Hong Qian showed a helpless wry smile, and then pretended to be glad and said: "Fortunately, I didn't meet you in the early years, otherwise I wouldn't have today's scenery." In that respect, my luck seems to be good. ”

Walking into the study, Su Wen saw a letter and a set of chessboards on the desk at a glance. Without saying a word, she rushed over with an arrow and reached out to pick up the set of chessboards. She flipped the board over and over again, and finally found that it was just an ordinary chessboard. It looks like it's still been used.

Putting the chessboard on the table, Su Wen complained to Mo Yi who followed up: "Mr. is too stingy, saying that he brought me a gift turned out to be an ordinary chessboard, which seems to have been used by others." ”

Listened to her complaints. Mo Yi picked up the chessboard and looked at it for a while, then said with a smile: "Since you think this chessboard has been used, then just give it to me." It was my grandfather's birthday in a while, and I was wondering what to do as a gift, so you sent me such a chessboard. If I send this chessboard over, it will surely be able to overwhelm all the other gifts. ”

Hearing him say this, Su Wen's face showed a suspicious look, and he immediately took the chessboard in his hand again and weighed it, and after a long time, he was still puzzled and said: "I have been looking at it for a long time, but I really don't see any difference in this chessboard." That's it. You're better than this, and it doesn't look special. ”

Seeing that she didn't find the true value of this chessboard, Mo Yi immediately replied with a smile: "At first glance, you are a money fan, and you only know how to look at the surface. This chessboard is indeed very ordinary in terms of material and shape, but the value is extraordinary. ”

Hear this. Su Wen immediately opened his mouth with a puzzled face and asked: "The material is ordinary and the appearance is ordinary, but it is priceless, could it be that the origin of this chessboard is quite extraordinary?" can double the value of an ordinary chessboard, it can only be that the identity of the former owner of this chessboard is extraordinary, otherwise it is impossible to have such an effect. Ah, I see, is this chessboard used by the master of the Academy? ”

See Su and ask a little bit to get through. Mo Yi immediately replied with a satisfied face: "The first time I saw this chessboard, I saw that it was used by the master of the court. The last time you went to Haoran Academy, you used this chessboard to play against each other. ”

Hearing him say this, Su Wen immediately said with a look of annoyance: "I was patronizing the game at that time, where did I have time to look at the chessboard." I knew it was used by his old man, so I wouldn't have said that stupid thing just now. A chessboard used by a chess champion. That's really a lot of money. If you sell it to those literati, you will definitely make a lot of money. ”

Hearing this, Mo Yi immediately said with tears and laughter: "Come on, you snuff out this idea as soon as possible." If you let the master of the court know that you have sold the chessboard he gave you, the consequences will definitely be very serious. Maybe the gentleman won't be able to protect you. ”

was counted by Mo Yi, Su Wen immediately explained: "Don't take it seriously, I'll just talk about it." Even if I am a fan of money, it is impossible to exchange the gifts given by my elders for silver. Objects like this used by great figures will surely become priceless treasures in the future, and I plan to leave them to my children and grandchildren as heirlooms. ”

After listening to her explanation, Mo Yi was amused, but he didn't forget to say jokingly: "I said it in advance, if you really want to sell this chessboard, you must sell it to me, and you must not let others pick it up." ”

When Su Wen heard this, he immediately pretended to be dissatisfied and said, "Yes, you should die of this heart as soon as possible." Now that this chessboard has fallen into my hands, there is no reason to send it out again, and it is even more impossible to sell it out. Even if you have a good relationship with me, that's not okay, the treasure still has to be in your own hands to feel at ease. Hey. ”

Seeing her look like a miser, Mo Yi was secretly happy. He had already thought that as long as he could marry Su Wen home, then this chessboard would not fall into the hands of the children and grandchildren of the two of them in the future.

Raising his eyes and catching a glimpse of Mo Yi's stealing pleasure, Su Wen's face showed a suspicious look, and he immediately asked, "Say, what bad idea are you thinking?" Whatever you have in mind, stop thinking about getting your hands on this chessboard as soon as possible. If I find out that you have a mind that you shouldn't have moved, be careful that I am not polite to you. ”

was threatened by Su Wen, Mo Yi immediately pretended to be scared and said, "Your prestige is there, who dares to worry about it?" If anyone dares to play this chessboard, it is estimated that you will have to peel off a layer of skin in the end. ”

Seeing that he was so knowledgeable, Su Wen immediately smiled and affirmed: "Well, you are doing well, you can be regarded as self-aware." As long as you don't worry about the chessboard in my hand, we can discuss other things. This is the first time I have received such a precious gift from a chessboard used by a chess master. ”

Seeing her intoxicated expression, Mo Yi really couldn't stand it, so he had to look left and right and said to him: "Come on, the chessboard is already in hand, and you can study it at any time in the future." There's still a letter on the table waiting to be read, you won't forget it, will you? ”

Being reminded by him like this, Su Wen suddenly said, "Eh, if you don't say it, I almost forgot about it." I was studying this chessboard just now, and I forgot the letter aside. The surname Li is also really, and he wrote a letter to me, making me seem to know him well. ”

Hearing her words, Mo Yi felt a little proud in his heart. He knew that after Li Shouxin wrote a letter to Su Wen, he had been unhappy all the time, and at this time he finally got some relief.

For Li Shouxin, Mo Yi was hostile. Although he knew that Su Wen did not have the slightest affection for him, he still could not eliminate the hostility in his heart. In his opinion, Li Shouxin is full of danger. Even if he knows that Su Wen is very disliked by him, he will not easily choose to give up, unless someone better than Su Wen appears.

Of course, this better does not refer to the aspect of appearance, but more to the identity and conditions it has. Li Shouxin pegged Su Wen, and Mo Yi always felt that this was related to Su Wen's identity as a disciple of Hongqian.

Although the expression on Mo Yi's face was subtle, it could not escape Su Wen's eyes. She had already discovered the knot in his heart about Li Shouxin, so she deliberately forgot the letter just now and concentrated on discussing the chessboard with him. For her, Li Shouxin is just an irrelevant stranger, and Mo Yi is the person in front of her who should be cherished, and it is clear which is more important at a glance.

Seeing Su Wen's impatient look at Li Shouxin, Mo Yi immediately urged with a happy face: "Anyway, the letter has been sent, you always have to open it." By the way, do you want me to avoid it? ”

Seeing that although Mo Yi said that he wanted to avoid, but his footsteps did not move in the slightest, Su Wen was amused, and immediately pretended to be nonchalant and said: "Yes, just read a letter, there is no need to avoid it." is not familiar with Li Shouxin, and there is nothing to avoid in his letters. ”

Hearing that there was no need to evade, Mo Yi's eyes lit up, and he immediately urged with a look of impatience: "Well, since you took the initiative to speak, then I will stay for the time being." While you have time now, you can quickly open it and take a look. ”

When Su Wen heard this, he immediately picked up the letter from the table and reached out to tear open the envelope. She spread the letter flat on the table, ready to scan through it hurriedly. After she threw the letter open, Mo Yi's eyes kept glancing at the table, but she was afraid of arousing her disgust, so she acted very carefully.

Seeing this scene, Su Wen immediately said quite generously: "Come on, it's not a key letter anyway, if you're curious, just follow along." ”

Seeing Su Wen speak, Mo Yi immediately said with a smile on his face: "You took the initiative to bring it up, and I didn't ask for it." Since you've spoken, of course I'm not going to refuse, so I can only reluctantly glance at it. Rest assured, I've always been tight-lipped and will never reveal the contents of the letter. ”

Glancing at Mo Yi's cheap and well-behaved appearance, Su Wen immediately showed a look of disgust, and said unceremoniously: "If you don't want to see it, forget it, no one begs you." ”

Seeing that Su Wen was about to put away the letter, Mo Yi hurriedly reached out to stop it, and carefully apologized in his mouth: "I was wrong, I can't be cheap anymore and sell well." You promised me just now, how can you go back on your word? ”
