Chapter 26: Watching Chess Silently
Hearing that Ren Shimin said that he was going to the warm pavilion in the garden to taste tea and play chess, Ren Yaoqi came out of the verandah and walked to the path leading to the garden.
Ren's garden pavilions and pavilions, water pavilions and cornices are all in the style of the south, although because of the geographical reasons, many of the flowers and plants in the garden can not survive, but the seasonal flowers are also changed every season. Therefore, the garden is full of flowers all year round.
There is a lake pavilion in the garden, which is a good place to cool off in summer. However, because there are some seasonal flowers and plants planted around there, the lake pavilion in autumn and winter is either withered lotus branches or white, and the wind is permeable on all sides, and the cold wind is biting, so as soon as autumn arrives, the masters of the Ren family have left the pavilion and gone to the warm pavilion located in the plum forest in the northwest corner.
Although the warm pavilion is not big, it is burned with a ground dragon, and the windows on all sides are covered with cellophane, and you can faintly see the sparse shadows around it, which is delicate and elegant. Ren Shimin often comes here to paint.
When Ren Yaochi approached the warm pavilion, it was silent, but Ren Yaoqi still kept walking.
"Go and wait in the pavilion over there, and I'll come out after a few words with my father." In the pavilion not far away, two maids were roasting a fire around a charcoal basin, and it seemed that they should be the maids in charge of this warm pavilion, and they were reprimanded by the master inside.
Seeing that someone was coming, the two maids got up, and one of them was about to greet them, but Xi'er walked over with a smile without waiting for them to come. Sydney originally wanted to say something, but glanced at Ren Yaoqi, thought about it, and bowed and turned around and followed Xi'er.
Ren Yaochi raised his hand and lifted the curtain of the warm pavilion.
There was a low table in the warm pavilion, and Ren Yijun and a strange boy sat at both ends. Ren Shimin sat sideways, holding a small teapot in his hand and watching the battle while sipping. The three of them, whether they were playing the game or watching the game, were all engrossed, and they didn't even notice that someone had come in.
Ren Yijun's little servant, who was squatting aside, looked up, and when he saw Ren Yaochi gesturing at him gently, he squatted back again.
This is the first time that Ren Yaoqi has seen this legendary young master of the Han family head-on.
I saw that his fur cloak had been taken off, and he was only wearing a white robe embroidered with bluegrass on the cuffs and placket, black hair and eyebrows, a high nose bridge, thin lips, and a serious and silent expression with a slightly tilted head of thought, and from her point of view, I could feel his slightly lowered eyes and slightly raised tails.
This is a man with outstanding appearance and a calm temperament.
As if sensing Ren Yaoqi's gaze, he raised his eyes and looked over, his narrow eyes were as dark and deep as a winter night.
Ren Yaoqi lowered his eyes quietly, blessed in his direction, and then walked to Ren Shimin's side without squinting.
When Ren Shimin saw her at this time, he couldn't help but be shocked, but he still waved his hand at her lightly and signaled her not to make a sound yet, and to wait until the chess game was over. Watching chess is silent, and not disturbing the train of thought of the person playing chess, which Ren Shimin has always abided by.
Ren Yijun frowned and glared at her, with undisguised unhappiness on his face, and quickly turned his head and stopped looking at her.
Ren Yaochi stood quietly behind Ren Shimin, staring at the chessboard in front of him without saying a word.
The reason why Ren Yijun and Ren Shimin fell in love was because the two had similar hobbies. In addition to liking poetry, playing the piano and painting, he also loves to play chess, and both of them are considered to be good players.
However, despite this, Ren Yijun also showed defeat in this game of chess.
A quarter of an hour later, Ren Yijun let out a long breath and threw himself in the towel.
"I'm losing again!" Ren Yijun said this, but his tone was not half unhappy. Then he turned to Ren Shimin and said, "Third uncle, this guy is really powerful, I lost three battles and three times, so I should replace you on the field, right?" You're going to have to kill this guy's majesty! ”
Han Gongzi lowered his head and smiled, silently picking up the chess pieces.
Ren Shimin watched the game for a long time, he had already committed a chess addiction, and he was a little eager to try, he looked at Ren Yaoqi and discussed in a whisper: "Yaoyao, can you wait for Daddy to finish playing chess?" ”
Ren Yaochi nodded, and Ren Shimin immediately happily switched seats with Ren Yijun.
The battle began again.
Ren Yaochi still watched silently, with a low sense of existence. So no one thinks she's standing here in the way.
This time, Ren Shimin may have lasted longer than Ren Yijun, but he still returned with a feather and lost two sons.
Ren Yaoqi looked at the last chess game and thought thoughtfully.
Let's play another game, and the result is the same, this time Ren Shimin lost three children.
Ren Yijun smiled, stretched out his hand to pat Han Gongzi's shoulder, and said appreciatively: "You kid, it's really good!" ”
Ren Yaochi couldn't help but be slightly stunned, this was the first time she had seen Ren Yijun smile, and she was still smiling. With this smile, his originally gloomy temperament disappeared over time, and the young man's liveliness and vitality exuded, and he became a little more handsome.
Ren Shimin also looked at Han Gongzi with appreciation: "Yun Qian, I admit defeat!" ”
Ren Yaoqi looked at the two men of the Ren family, and finally understood why his father, who had never cared about the affairs of the backyard in his previous life, suddenly worried about his daughter's marriage on a whim, and he really hoped that this Han Yunqian would be his son-in-law. In his eyes, good drawing, good handwriting, and good chess are his criteria for choosing friends and sons-in-law.
Among the daughters, Ren Yaohua's age is the most suitable for Han Yunqian.
"Another plate?" Ren Yijun made an enthusiastic proposal.
Han Yunqian looked out and said with some apologies: "It's not too early, my mother and sister are afraid that they have already gone back." How about this for today? The next time I will be the host, I will invite the two of you to come over the house to taste tea and play chess. ”
Ren Yijun has a very strange temper, if he looks at you well, he will be very tolerant of you. On the other hand, if you annoy him, he will have trouble with you everywhere.
Han Yunqian was interested in his appetite, so he didn't feel annoyed when he rejected his proposal, but nodded and said, "That's fine, what do you say, third uncle?" ”
Ren Shimin is a very talkative person, and he doesn't force it, and said with a smile: "Then next time, I have to study the way to win today." ”
Han Yunqian got up to leave, and Ren Shimin also got up: "I'll accompany you out." ”
Han Yunqian hurriedly said: "You are an elder, how can Yun Qian send you off?" Yun Qian also had to go to the old lady to say goodbye. ”
Ren Shimin suddenly remembered that his daughter was still waiting for him here, and couldn't help but glance at Ren Yaoqi with some hesitation.
Ren Yijun waved his hand: "What do you care about these false gifts?" Can Yun Qian blame us for neglecting him? I'll let Duobao send him over. Third uncle, how about you sit down and discuss with me the previous chess moves? "I don't see anything at all.
Han Yunqian smiled and nodded, and waved to everyone again.
"Master Han, Duobao will send you out." Ren Yijun stepped forward and said.
Han Yunqian followed Duobao away, and Ren Yaoqi quietly stared at his back and disappeared into the warm pavilion, without saying a word from beginning to end.
"Third uncle, how about we review the previous chess game?" Ren Yijun was eager to try, and as he spoke, he set out to restore the chessboard, which was when Ren Shimin had just revealed his defeat in the previous game.
"Yaoyao, do you have something to do with your father?" Ren Shimin asked his daughter with a smile.
"Third uncle, it's the same if you have something to talk about later." Ren Yijun glared at Ren Yaoqi dissatisfied, very impatient.
Ren Yaochi winked at Ren Shimin, and then squatted down to help Ren Yijun review.
Ren Yijun glanced at her and saw that she was not wrong, so he went with her.
Ren Shimin smiled and touched Ren Yaoqi's head, and sat opposite Ren Yijun.
"I remember, it was here just now that you started to lose. Yun Qian's stroke is wonderful! Half of the country was settled in an instant. Saying that Ren Yijun fell into a son, it was Han Yunqian's chess path before, "Third uncle, how about giving you another chance to turn defeat into victory?" ”
Ren Shimin held the small teapot, touched his chin and pondered for a long time, and was about to drop the child, but saw a slender white hand suddenly stretched out next to him, took the white child in his hand, and put it on the chessboard.
Ren Shimin was stunned for a moment and didn't react.
Ren Yijun was angry, and was about to scold, his eyes swept over the chessboard, and his eyes immediately widened: "Second...... Recruit! ”
"That Han Gongzi is really that powerful?" Ren Yaoqi made a grimace while holding his chin, and said unconvinced, "I don't see it that way." ”
