Chapter 178: Tell the Truth
But where should she go?
Zhou Shaojin stared at the chessboard carefully.
No matter where her son falls, there is no way to eat Cheng Chi's son.
Zhou Shaojin looked at Cheng Chi blankly, at a loss.
Cheng Chi endured it and didn't touch his forehead.
Learning Go usually starts with eating pieces, so people who have just learned Go usually eat pieces wholeheartedly regardless of the head and tail when they play chess.
Playing chess with such a person at Cheng Chi's level is like a strong man and a baby wrestling their wrists, and there is no question of victory or defeat at all.
Could it be that he really taught this little girl to play Go?
Cheng Chi sneered disdainfully in his heart.
His second brother wanted his son to let his brother study with him several times, but he felt troublesome, not to mention teaching a little girl with no foundation to play chess!
But he never pushes people into a corner, and if he pushes people into a corner, it's a situation where he never stops.
Therefore, Cheng Chi smiled: "Okay, that's all for today......"
Could it be that she has already lost?
Zhou Shaojin knew that her chess skills could not be compared with Cheng Chi at all, but she looked at the large empty chessboard in the lower right corner, and couldn't understand why she lost!
However, Uncle Chi must have a point in saying this.
She let out an "oh" and obediently cleared the chess pieces.
Cheng Chi glanced at Zhou Shaojin.
Is she still ready to play another game with herself?
With the difference between the two, what is the difference between the next game and the next ten? Unless he gives her twenty sons. No, even if she lets twenty sons, she may not be able to win against him.
Cheng Chi said with a smile: "You have learned Go with Aunt Shen for more than ten days to know how to eat seeds, and you are still quite talented." I think you might as well follow Aunt Shen to study for a few more days, and we will talk about it again, and I will also just see if you have improved......" It's just that before he finished speaking, Old Madam Guo walked out of the inner room.
The old man wore a very homely Qinglian pigmented Hangzhou silk armor, his gray hair was neatly coiled in a bun at the back of his head, and he wore gold-inlaid emerald ears, looking radiant, and smiled with interest: "How is it?" Which of you won? ”
Zhou Shaojin hurriedly got up to salute Mrs. Guo, but Cheng Chi smiled and said: "It's just fun, what kind of victory and defeat!" ”
"Looks like you won!" Old Madam Guo smiled when she heard this, "You are an uncle, and I don't know how many children to let Shaojin have." Is it embarrassing to win the juniors like this? ”
"I'm sorry." Cheng Chi said with a smile, "As the saying goes, ambition is not in old age." Gan Luo was twelve years old. How do I know how my niece of the Zhou family is at chess? You want me to make a move here, I think you just want to see me lose, so laugh at me! ”
Mrs. Guo laughed.
It was the first time for Zhou Shaojin to see Mrs. Guo so happy, those smiles were all revealed from the bottom of her heart, which could make people feel her happiness.
What else could she say?
I had to look towards Cheng Chi.
Cheng Chi didn't look at her, while collecting the chess pieces, he was talking to Mrs. Guo: "...... You, don't be embarrassed little girl, she still has to copy the scriptures for you! ”
Zhou Shaojin heard the sound and knew the elegance, and hurriedly got up to say goodbye.
Mrs. Guo beckoned to her and instructed Pearl: "Go, take the jade plaque in my mirror platform, the little girl's family lost the chess, you can't just leave empty-handed, take a jade plaque and wear it." The last sentence was said to Zhou Shaojin.
Zhou Shaojin's face was swollen and red, and he hurriedly said, "No, no." I...... I just accompanied Uncle Chi to lay a few seeds......"
She knew that Mrs. Guo had misunderstood her, but Uncle Chi was trying to make Mrs. Guo happy, if she told the truth, Uncle Chi would definitely be angry with her.
Zhou Shaojin looked at Cheng Chi as if asking for help.
Cheng Chi didn't feel anything.
The silver is for the spent. It would be a good thing to be able to buy happiness with money.
He said: "The elders give it, and you can't say goodbye." Give it to you, and you will take it! ”
"Yes." Mrs. Guo was in a very good mood, and in addition to the jade plate, she was temporarily rewarded with a pair of coral beads. Not to mention that the jade card is flawless, the two magpies jumping on the plum branches are lifelike, as if they want to fight for the jade card and fly out. Let's talk about the pair of coral bead flowers, the red coral is the petal, the yellow beeswax is the core, made into the style of pomegranate flowers, the size of a wine glass.
Coral is limited by the material, and beads the size of lotus seeds are already precious, not to mention petals the size of fingernails.
Zhou Shaojin felt heavy.
It would be fine if she really accompanied Uncle Chi to play a game of chess, but she was just making a show at all, how could she accept such a valuable gift from Mrs. Guo.
"Old lady!" Zhou Shaojin took a deep breath and decided to tell Mrs. Guo the truth. Even if it will make Cheng Chi unhappy because of this, it is better than deceiving Mrs. Guo like this - there is no impermeable wall in this world, it is better to take the initiative to tell Mrs. Guo than to let Mrs. Guo hear it from other people's mouths.
But as soon as she spoke, she was interrupted by Cheng Chi: "Mother, she is still a child, you give her such a valuable thing, but it makes her feel honestly afraid, she will play chess with me in the future, is it better to win or lose?" If you want to reward her, it is better to reward her with some food, playthings, stickers, and even pen, ink, paper, and inkstone. ”
Zhou Shaojin nodded gratefully.
"Look at me!" Mrs. Guo patted her forehead and said, "I often interact with many ladies and wives, but I forgot that Shaojin is still a little girl." Forget it this time, the main thing is that these two things are very suitable for this little girl, next time if you win your Uncle Chi, on the sixth day of the sixth month of June, I will take you to Jiming Temple to see the scriptures? ”
Then she is destined to go to Jiming Temple!
Zhou Shaojin had tears in his heart, but he still had to make a happy appearance on his face and respond to "good".
Mrs. Guo smiled and nodded, and asked Biyu to serve her to copy scriptures in the Buddhist hall, and she talked to Cheng Chi about her parents.
For the whole afternoon, Zhou Shaojin only copied two pages.
When she went back in the evening, she went to Aunt Shen to make up for it.
Aunt Shen said: "You have just started to learn, you are greedy and not refined, and laying a good foundation is the most important." ”
Zhou Shaojin pestered Aunt Shen: "Isn't there a saying called high-level construction?" The more I know, the better I must have played. ”
Aunt Shen has taught three students in Cheng's family, and Cheng Sheng is excellent in all aspects, but she was taught by Mrs. Guo, and she is just a face-saving gentleman for her. Cheng Ji is very smart, but unfortunately he is too bad, Jiang's requirements for her daughter are not high, and of course she will not be bored. Zhou Shaojin is very talented in everything, but she doesn't care much, and because of her embarrassing identity, she wants to find an elder to remind Zhou Shaojin that she doesn't know who to talk to. As she went back and forth, she had to get by with these students.
The same is true at this time.
Obviously, she felt that Zhou Shaojin was too early to learn the formula, and maybe the complicated formula would discourage her enthusiasm for learning chess, but after a little consideration, she still took out a chess book and told her all kinds of chess paths.
Zhou Shaojin didn't even touch the door, just like an enlightened child listening to "Spring and Autumn", naturally the more he listened, the more confused he became, and the more he listened, the more he didn't understand.
She often interrupted Aunt Shen's speech and asked her a lot of things she didn't understand.
After half a month like this, she admired how she dared to play chess with Cheng Chi in the first place...... And Cheng Chi didn't know if he was busy or felt that playing chess with her was a waste of time, and he didn't mention playing chess for a few days, so she naturally didn't meet him again.
Zhou Shaojin couldn't help but ask Ji Ying.
Ji Ying also heard that Zhou Shaojin was playing chess with Cheng Chi, and she said, "What are you asking him for?" Do you still want to play a game with him? I advise you to accept it when you see it, right? He didn't know which one was wrong at the time, and you were given three rounds under him. Don't think you'll be able to play chess with him every time! ”
Three rounds under Uncle Chi?
Zhou Shaojin's face was hot, and he said, "Are you mistaken?" I just accompanied Uncle Chi to make a few mistakes...... How can I have that level to play chess with him! ”
"Oh?" Ji Ying said curiously, "Didn't everyone say that you almost won Uncle Chi in a game of chess, so Mrs. Guo rewarded you with a lot of things?" ”
Zhou Shaojin was taken aback and hurriedly said, "Who said this?" I was defeated by Uncle Chi after only a few fights with my uncle, how can I say that I almost won Uncle Chi? What would Uncle Chi think if he heard this? ”
Maybe she thought she blew it out herself?
Ji Ying was obviously also aware of the Yan zhòng nature of the problem, and she pulled Zhou Shaojin to the upper room of the Liyin Pavilion: "You have to explain to the fourth master, he is a relatively small person, if you think that you step on his reputation and take the position, it will be bad!" ”
Zhou Shaojin was even more anxious when he heard Ji Ying say this, and he didn't care about being dragged by Ji Ying and stumbled, so he went to the upper room with Ji Ying.
Cheng Chi was talking to Huaishan, and when he heard that Zhou Shaojin and Ji Ying asked to see him, he asked the little maid to bring them in.
Zhou Shaojin stood in the study with books piled up on the four walls, looking at Cheng Chi who was sitting on the Taishi chair behind the big bookcase, and then he felt a little reckless.
She just ran over after hearing Ji Hotaru say this, and she didn't know what happened in detail, if Uncle Chi asked she only knew how to shake her head, Uncle Chi was afraid that she would think that she listened to the wind and rain, and her temperament was boring, so naturally she wouldn't pay attention to what she said.
Zhou Shaojin was very nervous, and his hands couldn't help but hold together.
And it is also very natural and graceful to hang down on the abdomen with hands intertwined.
Cheng Chi had a smile in his eyes.
He said softly, "What are you looking for me?" ”
Zhou Shaojin had no choice but to look at Ji Ying.
Since Ji Ying came back from Cangzhou, she has been much more honest. But the habit is hard to change, looking at Cheng Chi's kind and pleasant appearance, her courage grew again, and she crackled and told Cheng Chi all the rumors she heard, and said: "Fourth master, you have to believe Miss Second Cousin, she is not the kind of person who likes to take advantage of others......"
"I see!" Cheng Chi lightly interrupted Ji Ying's words and said, "Rumors stop at the wise. Just leave it alone. After a while, it will naturally disappear. ”
That's it!
Ji Hotaru's words before he finished were blocked in his throat.
Zhou Shaojin breathed a long sigh of relief.
It's good that Uncle Chi doesn't believe it!
The two of them pushed me out again.
Ji Ying found Qin Ziping and said, "You say, the fourth master won't do it, right?" ”
Qin Ziping glanced at Zhou Shaojin, who was as slender as a flower, and said, "Just like her, can the fourth master commit a black hand?" ”
Ji Hotaru laughed.
Zhou Shaojin was very dissatisfied.
She's like that!
What's wrong with her?
Uncle Chi is not the kind of person they say is not good at all! R1152
