Chapter Seventy-Two: Admitting Defeat
But since he came, he couldn't turn around and leave, Shen Anbei turned over and dismounted.
The head of the Xiao Mansion greeted him with a smile on his face, "The two young masters are here, please come in." ”
Shen Anbei smiled, turned around and waited for An Rong to be together, and then led by the chief manager into the Guogong Mansion.
An Rong's face was burning hot, in her previous life, after she retired from her family, she hadn't been to Xiao Guogong's Mansion for a long time, and then it was Qingyan's birthday, she had to come, and that time she was also caught by Xiao Jin'er with a gun and a stick, and she couldn't wait to ask her to burrow into the ground.
In this life, she still withdrew from her family, but Xiao Zhan and Qingyan who were harmed also withdrew from her family, An Rong felt ashamed, he lost his daughter-in-law in his previous life, and his daughter-in-law is gone in this life?
But now, she is more afraid of being recognized, she knows that Xiao Lao Guogong and the old lady love Xiao Zhan, she dares to look down on him, isn't this a slap in the face of Xiao Zhan?
Moving forward with trepidation, Shen Anbei felt that he could describe the current Anrong in four words: a turtle with a shrunken head.
An Rong thought that he would go to the inner courtyard to greet the old lady, but he didn't expect that he wouldn't need to, and it was estimated that the old lady would not be happy to see them.
I went to the outer study.
Outside the study, the scenery is beautiful, it is cold and cold, and it is also full of greenery.
Outside the study outside the station, the chief manager knocked on the door and said, "Young Master Shen has arrived." ”
The door creaked open, revealing a plump and handsome face, smiling like a flower.
It is the prince of Jingbei Hou.
An Rong was almost swallowed to death by saliva, his face was full of embarrassment, and he looked embarrassed.
When Hou Shizi of Jingbei saw An Rong from the window, he also froze slightly, he vaguely guessed that Zhou Shaoyi was smiling like a big girl, Second Young Master Shen was An Rong, but he didn't expect it to be really her.
He also knew An Rong's embarrassment, the last time he was in Qingyuxuan, he was afraid that his eldest brother would die of fear, and he almost fell downstairs, and it was not easy to come today.
Plain clothes were stupid and said, "This is Second Young Master Shen?" Sure enough, the talent is flying, and the vulgar is forgotten. ”
An Rong rolled her eyes.
Xiao Qian pulled away Lian Xuan and smiled at An Rong, "Cousin is reckless, Second Young Master Shen is not strange." ”
He is the one who invited them to come to today's post, Xiao Qian, the eldest young master of Xiao Guogong's Mansion, who is half a year younger than Xiao Zhan.
An Rong laughed twice, did she dare to blame the prince of Jingbei Hou, not to mention that he pretended to be a ghost to help her rob last time, and he still pinched it was his daughter's business.
Lian Xuan looked at An Rong threateningly, his eyes sparkled like stars with a smile, he liked this thing the most.
Xiao Qian wanted to pull An Rong in, but Lian Xuan took the lead, grabbed his hand, and pulled him in.
Shen Anbei was behind, looking at Lian Xuan's hand, his face gloomy and he wanted to chop it.
An Rong wanted to struggle, but Lian Xuan pulled it tighter, that moon appreciation was unsuccessful, it's okay to hold hands, hands are so soft.
Xiao Zhan sat there, holding a chess piece in his hand, and when he saw Lian Xuan dragging An Rong, his brows furrowed, and his eyes were obscure.
An Rong wanted to die in embarrassment.
Fortunately, when he made a salute, Lian Xuan let go.
Shen Anbei was very annoyed by Lian Xuan, the account of scaring An Rong with rats last time has not been settled, and he came to take advantage of An Rong again, is it good for men and women to kiss or not!
Xiao Qian saw that the atmosphere was a little weird, a little unclear, and he also knew that the two mansions were a little embarrassed because of the retreat, so he smiled and said, "My cousin has no relationship with the four girls in the house, and the matter of retreating from the family is over, so I will put it aside, I invited the two of you here today because my grandfather liked that poem very much, and I inquired in many ways, only to know that it was written by Brother Bei, I think you are also a chess master, you might as well have a discussion?" ”
"Isn't it tea?" An Rong asked.
Xiao Qian chuckled, "Playing chess and drinking tea at the same time, it doesn't hinder it." ”
Shen Anbei was pressed and sat down.
An Rong stood aside, and Lian Xuan stood beside Xiao Zhan.
Shen Anbei was speechless, he knew how to play chess, but he couldn't talk about being a master, just average, how could he be Xiao Zhan's opponent?
Xiao Qian said very directly, "Brother Bei cares about the society of the country and has the ambition of the world, that poem can reflect that the emperor is addicted to playing chess, and his grandfather has not listened to many admonitions, and intends to let the eldest brother win the emperor, but the eldest brother is not sure of winning, so he asked Brother Bei for advice." ”
Xiao Zhan said very little, so Xiao Qian did it for him.
Shen Anbei's face was full of black lines, and he asked him to advise, did they want to lose more?
immediately refused, but was mistaken for modest by Xiao Qian.
Lian Xuan smiled suspiciously, looked at An Rong, and then at Xiao Zhan.
The smile became more and more bright, "Why don't you try it the second young master, I will be a master when I see you." ”
Shen Anbei jumped again from the corner of his eye, it was better for him to play, An Rong was 108,000 miles away from him.
Jingbei Hou Shizi's eyes ...... Questions?
An Rong didn't want to agree, you must know that Xiao Zhan's chess, even Su Junze is not an opponent, she can barely make a draw with Su Junze, and the eldest brother will definitely not be able to win against him.
"Just win?" An Rong asked.
Lian Xuan smiled and nodded, "If you win brightly, you can't play tricks or destroy chess." ”
That chess, which sounded like a parent-by-child, made An Rong's scalp tingle.
Xiao Zhan looked at An Rong, his eyebrows tightened, and a smile flashed in his eyes, "You invite first." ”
An Rong didn't shirk either, picked up a black chess piece, and without the slightest hesitation, played directly in Tian Yuan's position.
A group of people was stunned.
There is a saying in chess called golden horn and silver edge grass belly.
Tian Yuan's position is the worst!
How did she play there, and can she play chess?
Shen Anbei felt that he was a little drunk, and he couldn't wait to drag An Rong up and let him continue.
Xiao Zhan raised his eyebrows slightly, and put down a white chess piece in his bony hand.
An Rong did not hesitate at all, and put down a black chess piece in the symmetrical place of the chessboard.
A group of people were stunned again, they had never seen someone playing chess like this, a rookie or a master?
After that, no matter where Xiao Zhan went, An Rong would follow.
The time for a cup of tea has passed, and the two sides have been evenly matched.
Well, it's not okay if you don't stand up, An Rong's chess method is very scoundrel, and even a little shameless, she will win as much as others win, even if she can't win, she will definitely not lose.
Lian Xuan had nothing to say.
Ask her for advice on how to win the emperor, well, he admits that this is indeed a good way to win and not lose, but he is not afraid of making the emperor angry and slashing the eldest brother?
Does she have a grudge against her eldest brother and want to kill people with a knife?
After another cup of tea, Lian Xuan was already drowsy.
Xiao Qian nibbled on the fruit and asked Shen Anbei with his eyes, your second brother is so shameless when he usually plays chess, doesn't he use his brain at all?
Shen Anbei looked back with a flushed face, and he was even more shameless when he was protective of his sister: This is called the strategy of not moving the enemy, and I will not move if the enemy moves!
On the chessboard, black and white are opposite, and there is a clear distinction.
Suddenly, An Rong put down a black chess piece and said with a smile, "I won a piece by luck, and I conceded." ”
Lian Xuan shuddered, swept over to the chessboard, and said in disbelief, "Big brother really lost." ”
Xiao Zhan's brows moved slightly, "I lost." ”
An Rong smiled with a smile in his eyes, winning him once, but he had more achievements than winning Su Junze, and he was a little fluttering.
But as soon as he raised his head and touched Xiao Zhan's eyes that were as deep as a cold pool, like a smile but not a smile, An Rong couldn't laugh, his face was stiff and he couldn't move, and he hurriedly stood up.
Because I was a little anxious, I was a little dizzy, and I heard an exclamation from the window.
An Rong turned his head to look and saw a delicate face.
Willow eyebrows, ice muscles and jade skin, smooth and crispy, because An Rong suddenly got up, she thought she was caught eavesdropping, she was a little panicked, and her white and delicate face was as white as jade, and she was beautiful.
An Rong didn't expect to see Xiao Jin'er in such a situation.
Xiao Qian's sister-in-law, the eldest girl of Xiao Guogong's mansion.
Xiao Jin'er's face was full of flying clouds, and she wanted to get into a hole in the ground and wanted to escape, but her feet couldn't move as if they were fixed by nails, and when she saw An Rong staring at her without any scruples, she felt that her face was burning hot.
Xiao Qian was a little annoyed by Xiao Jin'er's recklessness, but he was even more annoyed by An Rong looking at his sister-in-law so unreasonably, and he was too formless, and he still snickered!
Xiao Qian coughed heavily.
An Rong came back to his senses, and also coughed fakely, and said with a smile, "Sister Ling is very cute." ”
Xiao Qian looked at An Rong in surprise, and under normal circumstances, he would be embarrassed to talk about him, why did he praise Jin'er instead? Could it be ......?
Shen Anbei dragged An Rong for a moment, and said, "My second brother is straightforward, not intentionally colliding, but Ling Mei is very similar to my fourth sister, so the second brother thinks she is cute." ”
This time it was Lian Xuan who was snickering.
Xiao Jin'er fled with burning eyebrows.
An Rong secretly glared at Shen Anbei, who is like Xiao Jin'er, she is very calm, okay, An Rong smiled at Xiao Qianzuo, "I've tasted tea and played chess, it's time for us to leave." ”
Lian Xuan was speechless, did she play chess just now, I had never seen her use her brain, it was all the eldest brother thinking, and in the end, she was allowed to take advantage of the loophole and win with one son, it was really a move to determine the winner.
Putting aside the matter of Xiao Jin'er, Xiao Qian felt that An Rong was still very good, for no other reason, Lian Xuan's cousin was stubborn, but he was full of patience with him.
Lian Xuan coughed several times before he said, "Actually, it was my grandfather's intention to invite you here today, my grandfather felt that the person who mentioned the poem was superb in chess and had the world in mind, and wanted to play a game with him and talk about state affairs, who wrote that poem?" ”
An Rong was messy.
Shen Anbei didn't expect that it was Xiao Laoguogong's intention to invite them to play, and yes, because of the resignation of relatives, Xiao Laoguogong's attitude towards his father plummeted, if it was not for his permission, how could they dare to invite them to come, but how could they talk about state affairs with Xiao Laoguogong?
He didn't know who wrote the poem, but he knew that An Rong would never be able to write it.
Shen Anbei looked at An Rong, An Rong pulled the corners of her mouth, where did she know who wrote it, she just knew this poem.
As soon as he opened his mouth, a cauldron flew towards Shen Anbei's back, and he couldn't breathe, "The poem was written by my eldest brother, and half of it was lost on the ground, I think it's good, it's a pity to abandon it, so I added two sentences." ”
The implication is that the poem will be so good, it is the credit of the two of them, and it is common for brothers to exchange poems.
No one suspects that An Rong is lying, after all, it is a poem of admonition, written on a whim, and afterwards it feels inappropriate, and it is normal to throw it away, so it seems that her courage is greater than that of her eldest brother.
"I got half a poem a few days ago, although only this half is enough to call it everyone, but I didn't find the whole poem after looking through the ancient books, and I found out that it was circulated from the Wu'an Hou Mansion after many inquiries, and I don't know what the remaining half is?" Xiao Qian asked with a smile. R1152
