Baoyu sighed before she finished, and Sister Feng came over early and said with a smile: "Yo, this early in the morning, Brother Bao has such a big Yaxing, chanting poems to the air, but your sister Lin has only been gone for a few months, and you have a soul to hook you from the wet society." ”

Baoyu hurriedly smiled: "I don't know when Sister Lin will come back from Yangzhou, if she comes back, and then call Sister Xiangyun, plus the 'Xiaoxiao Jushi' who just came and her, it will be enough to make up a club." ”

Sister Feng quipped: "Which one is she? Who is she? I think, she should be called Miss Miaoyu." Your mind is also a little cranky, let me tell you seriously, Aunt Xue and Mrs. Xue just talked about you and Miss Bao over there, why don't you think about her. Also, what is the 'smiling and smiling layman', I think it should also be called 'smiling girl', you still compare people to what plum blossoms in the three friends of the old and cold, are you ashamed or not? If these words are known to your wife and your sister Bao, see what they say about you!"

Baoyu blushed and said: "This is all a temporary joke, how can it be taken seriously, but I don't know why she went suddenly." ”

Sister Feng poked Baoyu's forehead and said with a smile: "What do you compare to other people's 'evergreen and ageless pine', don't you just say that she is old and yellow!

Jia Baoyu suddenly stomped his feet and scolded himself hatefully, "It's really a dog that can't spit out ivory in its mouth, how can I offend her unconsciously." ”

Jia Baoyu was remorseful.

Sister Feng smiled and said: "Okay, the wife over there is talking to you, your sister Bao and Aunt Xue are here, I'm afraid that there is something important to tell you, you go quickly, I will find someone to explain something." ”

Sister Feng said and went.

Although Jia Baoyu regretted it, she had to come to Mrs. Wang's side in despair.

said that Lin Xiaoxiao came to the Beijing Palace, and Caixia finished her errand and went back.

Lin Xiaoxiao looked around, only to see the deep mansion courtyard inside, the green tile and red wall, the faint number of pavilions and pavilions are brilliant, the flowers and willows are fragrant, and the servants and maids are very rigorous.

A few deacons and grandmothers came early to greet them, and led Lin Xiaoxiao, Meiren, and Jiahui all the way through several verandahs and went straight to the back garden.

The gate of the back garden is a building plaque with a golden plaque on it, which reads the words "Water Residence Courtyard".

Lin Xiaoxiao said secretly: "It's strange that he called himself 'Shuijushi' in that Baihualou, it turns out that he is not only called Shui Rong, but there is such a place, but I have never heard of a surname in these hundred family names, and it seems that there has never been such a royal relative in the history of the Qing Dynasty, it seems that he really has a lot of secrets, but I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in this gourd when he invited himself this time." ”

Lin Xiaoxiao was thinking about her thoughts, and the leading grandmother smiled: "The prince ordered, please let the layman go in alone." ”

Mei and Jia Hui listened to it, and they didn't know what to do for a while.

Lin smiled and said, "You don't have to worry. ”

Meiren and Jiahui had to follow Mama and turn around.

Lin Xiaoxiao came into the garden alone, only to see begonias, chrysanthemums and other colorful flowers competing with each other, and a road in the sea of flowers, I don't know where it leads.

Although Lin Xiaoxiao was a little apprehensive in her heart, she had already come, so she had to walk forward along the Huayin Road.

Along the way, the bee butterfly dances, the fragrance of flowers is fragrant, all kinds of exotic flowers and plants are dazzling, the vines are stacked, and the rockery fountain and the pavilion complement each other.

Lin Xiaoxiao walked through the shade of flowers, only to see that the front suddenly opened up, a large lotus pond appeared in front of him, all kinds of residual lotus scattered and scattered, the forest of flowers, and the mandarin ducks playing in the water.

As far as the eye can see, an attic with a biwa zhulan in the middle of the water stands like a big ship floating on the water.

A gust of golden wind is cool and sparkling, and the big ship-like attic seems to be breaking the wind and waves in the lotus pond.

This lotus pond has about twenty or thirty acres of water, but there is only one nine-song verandah leading to the attic.

Lin Xiaoxiao looked at the verandah, remembering that night in the Kao Pavilion, there were vaguely eight or nine points of resemblance, and he hesitated for a while, whether to go over or not.

Lin Xiaoxiao was hesitating to herself, only to hear someone behind her: "Farewell to Kao Pavilion, don't come to Xiaoxiao, classmates don't come to harm, if you come, you will be safe, why not go to the bridge, go over and find out." ”

Lin Xiao was startled, and when he turned to look, it was King Beijing who was standing behind him with a smile, he was still so graceful and polite, but there seemed to be an inexplicable melancholy and depth in his eyes.

Lin Xiaoxiao sneered: "Since you invited me to come, why are you so sneaky." You don't even dare to tell the truth, what kind of idea did you want? ”

"Listen to the truth, come with me. As he spoke, King Beijing went up to the bridge.

Lin Xiaoxiao had to follow the bridge.

King Beijing said with a smile as he walked: "That day, after a while in the Huawang Pavilion, the incident happened suddenly, and Xiao Wang had to leave in a hurry, I'm really sorry." ”

"I'm sorry, but I don't have to, but when it comes to this, tell me honestly, who was the person who attacked me that night? Why are you a prince of Beijing, but you are also being plotted by someone? And your letter and payment make me wonder who you are?"

King Beijing laughed and said, "Since you have so many questions to ask me, it is difficult for King Shu to explain them one by one for a while, so it is better to sit down and talk slowly." ”

King Beijing said, and the two of them had already passed through the verandah and entered the attic.

The attic was built on all sides of the water, and the two entered a private room by the window, only to see that there were four Nanmu Eight Immortal Tables inside, and each of them had a set of chess on it, but they were all endgames. On the coffee table next to it, there is a pot of fragrant tea and two small porcelain cups from Ru kiln.

King Beijing said with a smile: "Today, this king took the liberty to invite you to come, and he had no other intentions, he just wanted to play chess and drink tea with you." If someone wins, you can ask the other person a question, and the other party will promise that there is no lie, and laugh at what the classmates think. ”

Lin Xiaoxiao looked at the four endgames, which were clearly "Seven Star Gathering", "A Thousand Miles Alone", "Earthworm Descending Dragon", and "Wild Horse Field", all of which she had already matured.

I remember that Lin Xiaoxiao was in the first year of junior high school, his father Lin Weimin was also a chess puzzle, and occasionally in his spare time, he had already taught Lin Xiaoxiao these famous endgame solving methods one by one, although after many years, Lin Xiaoxiao occasionally fought against netizens on the Internet, and his chess skills were naturally good. It's just that I don't know something, how do you know I can play chess?"

King Beijing smiled: "This is also a question, if you want to know, let's talk about it later." If you are lucky enough to win the four games of Xiaoxiao's chess today, you will only have one reluctant request, and I hope Xiaoxiao will agree. If you win a game, I'll answer your question. ”

When Lin Xiaoxiao heard this, he was immediately a little amused, and said with a smile: "You want to win four games against me?" Lin Xiaoxiao was quite conceited about her chess skills, so she made a gesture of please.

King Beijing smiled: "It's better for you to invite first, this opening and red and black chess pieces are up to you to choose." ”
