Zhou Xuan and his father-in-law, Dr. Qin, sent everyone out together, but Lin Hanyun wanted to stay alone, but her father blew his beard and stared at her, so she had to follow her father out aggrievedly.

Xu Tingshi looked at the officials inside and outside the Qin Mansion, and said loudly: "Colleagues, Zhou Gongzi's noble body has not yet recovered, so don't bother more, and go back to the yamen." ”

Zhou Xuantuan clasped his fists and thanked everyone for coming to visit.

The officials dispersed, Zhou Xuan returned to the inner courtyard, remembering that he hadn't practiced the five poultry opera today, and immediately said loudly: "Needle, finch, let's practice the five poultry opera together, don't practice hand life for a day." ”

As soon as the curtain of the sewing needle door was lifted, his face was red, and a white and tender finger was placed on his ruddy lips, making a "shhhhhhhh

Zhou Xuan wondered, who else was in the room? Is it the one who came to visit him? How did you run into the sewing room!

The door curtain was lifted again, and two people came out, one was Qin Que, and the other was a palace beauty Feng Ajian.

Feng Ajian smiled and said: "Doctor Qin really rejuvenated, Zhou Gongzi came down from Lushan yesterday and was almost unconscious, and he was alive and well overnight, the inner garden of the palace really needs such a female imperial doctor, I still want to bring Qin Que into the palace, Zhou Gongzi is willing to agree?" ”

Zhou Xuan was taken aback, and looked at Qin Que, Qin Que just had a slightly red face, and there was no different color, so he smiled: "The first time I met Feng Ah Jian in the criminal court, to be honest, I felt that Feng Ah Jian coldly rejected people thousands of miles away, and at that time, he also tried to severely punish Wan Sheng, but I didn't think that after Feng Ah Jian listened to Wan Sheng's true confession, he immediately turned to justice for Wan Sheng, and Wan Sheng knew that Feng Ah Jian was a very kind-hearted and compassionate person, and that kind of cordial feeling was like a late elder, as if she was a late sister. ”

Feng A couldn't help laughing out loud, thinking: "This Zhou Xuan, one mouth can really speak, dare to say anything, but it sounds so comfortable." said: "Okay, don't confess your true feelings anymore, I won't take Miss Qin away, there are lovers in the world who want to become dependents, but I do want to ask Zhou Gongzi for two things - that is, the portrait that Zhou Gongzi painted for Miss Qin and that little girl." ”

Zhou Xuan said with a smile: "It turned out to be two paintings, even if Feng Ajian took it, Feng Ajian also likes calligraphy and painting?" ”

Feng Ajian said: "I don't like calligraphy and painting, I only love the dress style of the person in the painting, and the queen likes strange clothes, I am ready to take these two portraits back to the palace to present to the mother." ”

After sending away Feng Ajian, Qin Que did not let Zhou Xuan practice the five bird plays, saying that typhoid fever should not be more active, and asked Zhou Xuan to go back to bed and lie down.

Zhou Xuan said: "Okay, I'll sit, I see the two of you practicing, it's not okay if you don't practice, you haven't practiced for two days." ”

How could the two little wives not understand the intentions of the husband, the husband is watching the two of them practice the five poultry opera as a dance, then practice, even if it is Bofujun laughing.

Zhou Xuan smiled and watched the two daughters imitate the tiger, bear, ape, deer, and bird, what kind of action is done by a beautiful woman is so good-looking, the tiger pounces on the deer, and the ape leaps and the bird is delicate and cute.

The two daughters also glanced at Zhou Xuan frequently, and looked at each other again, the smile in their eyes became stronger and stronger, and they couldn't help laughing.

Zhou Xuan touched his face: "What are you looking at, what are you laughing at, my face is engraved?" ”

The two little wives couldn't laugh even more, stopped practicing, and ran back to the room.

Zhou Xuan was inexplicable, what he didn't know was that when Fang Cai Feng Ah Jian saw Qin Que and the needle, the female official in the palace had poisonous eyes, and saw that Qin Que and the two were still virgins, Feng Ah Jian felt very strange, so he asked Zhou Xuan euphemistically if he had a hidden disease, if so, she had a palace secret recipe to recommend, the second daughter was so embarrassed that she died, it was not good to say that Zhou Xuan was not sick, let alone that he was sick, and finally told the truth that he would wait for the father of the needle to be mourned for a year before entering the cave room together. Compared with the lustful and shameless princes and nobles, Zhou Xuan is really noble.

Zhou Xuan saw that the two little wives ran back to the room, he also went back to the room to rest, feeling that his body was still a little weak, just lying down, the servant woman came to report, and Xu Tingshi came again.

Xu Tingshi has already left the Nine Lotus Fang by car, think about it and step back, today is the ninth day of the first month of August, the three-state chess battle will start tomorrow, the six chess players of Qi and Shu Erzhou have arrived in Jiangzhou under the leadership of their respective governors, and Feng Yuan, who was originally scheduled to play in Jiangzhou, was beaten away by Zhou Xuan, and Zhou Xuan, who played instead of Feng Yuan, was sick again, how is this good? Gu Liuquan alone absolutely couldn't stand it, because Shuzhou also hired a master this time, surnamed Zhanyuan, ranked seventeenth among the eighteen great chess players, and his fame was even greater than Gu Liuquan.

Xu Jianshi saw that Zhou Xuan's complexion was not bad just now, so he wanted to come back and ask Zhou Xuan if he could participate in the three-state chess battle?

When Zhou Xuan heard this, he said: "Of course I want to participate, this is to defend the honor of Jiangzhou Go, how can I not lose to other state capitals." ”

Dr. Qin dissuaded: "Virtuous son-in-law, this is not very proper, Go is the most energy-consuming, and the Sanzhou chess battle is not the next game, but to play for eight consecutive days, one game a day, you are not well yet, you are not suitable to participate in such a chess battle." ”

Zhou Xuan was about to explain the reason to persuade the old man, Qin Que came in, and said to Xu Shili: "Lord Xu, my husband can't participate in this chess battle, he yesterday supported the sick body and the thief three idiots for more than three hours, and his body has been greatly damaged, this so-called essence of the qi change, if not immediately recuperate, it will lead to the weakness of the body, husband, not the finch alarmist, if you are not cured of the disease, you will try your best to play, maybe there will not be any big discomfort on the surface, but after a long time, the disadvantages of losing consciousness will appear, You will feel that you can't gather your spirit, you will get dizzy after thinking for a long time, and your chess strength will be greatly reduced. ”

Qin Que can speak much better than her father, and the most important thing is to say that Zhou Xuan's chess strength will retreat, which is more scary, Xu Tingshi didn't dare to force it anymore, and confessed: "It's Xu who is reckless, Zhou Gongzi is good at recuperating from illness, and Xu is leaving." ”

Not letting Zhou Xuan play chess was more difficult than not letting him eat, and he hurriedly said, "Lord Xu, please wait." He said to Qin Que: "Que, then you say that I can recover in a few days before I can play chess?" ”

Qin Que thought for a while and said, "At least five days." ”

Zhou Xuan said with a smile: "It doesn't take five days, I've always been strong and healthy, and Que'er's medical skills are excellent, it definitely won't take five days, three days should be enough, okay?" ”

Qin Que smiled secretly in his heart: "Husband is really, even this has to bargain, even if it is a day or two early, you will not be able to participate in the chess battle." In order to make Zhou Xuan happy, he nodded and said: "Husband, the gentleman is healing relatively quickly, and the high fever will subside after a dose of Xiao Chai Hu Tang, and the average person needs at least three doses." ”

Zhou Xuan turned to Xu Tingshi and said: "Your Excellency can say to the chess players of Qi and Shu Erzhou that a major incident happened in Jiangzhou yesterday, and Lord Duhu and Lord Xu were both frightened, so the chess battle will be postponed to the 12th, and the two states will not dare to have objections." ”

Xu Tingshi nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, Zhou Gongzi is really resourceful, why didn't Xu think of it!" This thing is easy to do, Xu will go and inform them to delay the chess battle, haha, what will be solved in front of Zhou Gongzi. ”

Zhou Xuan was not praised for being fluttering, and thought: "Hehe, what kind of resourcefulness is this, is it that you only know how to stick to the rules, and you can't change the day after the start of the tenth day of the new year, stupid!" ”

After Dr. Qin sent Xu Tingshi out, Qin Que complained: "Husband, since you want to delay, wouldn't it be better to delay it for two more days and completely recuperate before you go to play chess?" ”

Zhou Xuan said: "If you postpone it for too many days, others will complain, and I am also anxious to play chess." ”

Qin Que shook his head, no way.

On this day, Zhou Xuan was recuperating in bed, Qin Que didn't go to the medical office, stayed with him, gave him a pulse every two hours, and added a few flavors of medicine to Xiao Chai Hu decoction according to Zhou Xuan's physical recovery, and brought a bowl of thick and thick one, personally supervised, Zhou Xuan had to drink.

In the evening, Abu, Liao Yin, and Tang Xiaosan came to visit Zhou Xuan, saying that they would come over in the morning, and the messengers of the state government acted as the family members of the Qin Mansion, blocking them from entering, and they were still good-looking.

Abu brought the bronze puppet of "Heavenly Dragon Scales", saying that he had asked a clever craftsman to repair it, and asked Zhou Xuan to hand it over to Miss Lin Er.

At this time, the righteous brother Lin Heishan came, and after a conversation, he brought the "Heavenly Dragon Scales" back to the Duhu Mansion to Lin Hanyun.

In the afternoon of the next day, Xu Jianshi took Gu Liuquan and another chess player who was selected to participate in the war to Qin Mansion to discuss the chess battle with Zhou Xuan.

Xu Tingshi said: "Qizhou is insignificant, it has always been at the bottom, Shuzhou is aggressive this time, not only invited Shang Zhanyuan, but the other two chess players are also very strong, should be stronger than Mr. Fu." ”

The chess player who came with Gu Liuquan was named Fu Yannian, and he looked more simple, Xu Tingshi said to his face that he was inferior to others, and he was not ashamed, and nodded again and again and said, "Yes, yes." ”

Xu Tingshi continued: "This means that we must defeat Shang Zhanyuan, according to the rules of chess warfare, it is not allowed to use the Tian Ji horse racing strategy, the three chess players in each state must be divided into three categories: A, B, and C, A to A, B to B, C to C, can not be changed arbitrarily, according to the regulations, Mr. Gu should be ranked in Class A, which must be against Shang Zhanyuan, if Mr. Gu is ten years younger, then defeating Shang Zhanyuan is naturally not a problem, now, Mr. Gu himself admits that it is difficult to gain the upper hand, Mr. Gu is not?" ”

Gu Liuquan stroked his white hair and sighed: "Yes, Lian Po Lao, the key to victory and defeat this time is all on Zhou Gongzi, Zhou Gongzi, the old man wants to see your game with those three idiots yesterday." ”

Zhou Xuan led the two of them to the small study, and the jade chess pieces he got from the three idiots were placed there, and such a precious chess set had never even seen Xu Tingshi, and he couldn't help but admire.

Zhou Xuan showed Gu Liuquan the painstaking game and move, Gu Liuquan saw that Zhou Xuan's white chess was encircled and could not see the way to live, so he said: "This chess is bad, this chess is bad, Zhou Gongzi, are you a white chess?" ”

Gu Liuquan didn't believe that Zhou Xuan could reverse the tables in such a difficult situation!

Zhou Xuan smiled and didn't answer, and continued to play chess until the big dragon fool survived, and said: "At this point, the three idiots admit defeat." ”

Gu Liuquan opened his mouth for a long time, took a deep look at Zhou Xuan, and said sincerely: "Zhou Gongzi's chess, the old man is willing to bow to the wind, the old man is here, I wanted to play a game with Zhou Gongzi, if Zhou Gongzi can win against the old man, then Zhou Gongzi will face Shang Zhanyuan as a class A chess player, but now after watching Zhou Gongzi support the sick body, the old man knows that he doesn't need to play, the old man asks himself that the chess strength is not weaker than Zhou Gongzi, but Zhou Gongzi's courage and determination in the line are beyond the reach of the old man!" - Lord Xu, with Gongzi Zhou to deal with Shang Zhanyuan, the odds are very high. ”

Lord Xu twisted his beard and was happy, and a stone fell to the ground in his heart, saying that he would personally come to pick up Zhou Xuan early in the morning of the 12th to go to the "Forget Worries Hall", so he said goodbye to Gu Liuquan and Fu Yannian.

Zhou Xuan sat alone in the small study, knocking on the chess pieces, obsessed, estimating how much his chess strength had grown, it turned out to be an amateur strong fourth section, and now there should be a strong fifth section, and the strong fifth section and modern professional chess players can also fight-

Zhou Xuan's heart was so excited that he didn't even notice that Qin Que had come in.

"What is the husband thinking?"

Zhou Xuan turned around and said with a smile: "Of course I miss my finch, I really want to come true, as soon as I think of you, you came to me." ”

Qin Que blushed, hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke, "Will the husband complain about me?" ”

"Huh?" Zhou Xuan was surprised: "What do I blame you, the finch is so good to me, why does the finch ask like this?" ”

Qin Que listened to Feng Ajian yesterday, and felt that he had become a relative to Zhou Xuan but did not have sex with him, and felt guilty for the first time in his heart, so he asked this, worried that Zhou Xuan would complain about her, and at this time, seeing that Zhou Xuan had no guilt, he felt that his husband was good, and changed the topic and said: "By the way, husband, Que Er heard that Daddy said that Lord Du Hu wants to send you a mansion, which square is that the mansion is in?" ”

Zhou Xuan replied: "It is said that it is Vermilion Bird Fang, and Vermilion Bird Square is also close to here, but it is only two miles. ”

Qin Que looked at Zhou Xuan and said cautiously: "Husband, Que Er heard that the mansion turned out to be the dowry prepared by Lord Du Hu for Miss Lin. ”

"It turned out to be a dowry, haha." Zhou Xuan laughed: "But Miss Lin is now a monk and cultivates, and she doesn't need a dowry, so Lin Duhu will give it to me - Qi'er, is there anything wrong?" Zhou Xuan saw a strange expression on Qin Que's face.

Qin Que said: "My husband asked me before why Miss Lin became a monk, but didn't Que say it to my husband?" ”

Zhou Xuan thought to himself: "If I ask you, you don't say it, if you don't ask, it seems that you have to say it." Said: "Well, I didn't say it, whatever, everyone pursues differently, Miss Lin Er pursues free and easy play, but Miss Lin thinks about cultivating the Tao and becoming an immortal." ”

Qin Que shook his head and said: "No, husband, Que'er told you, in fact, this Miss Lin is quite pitiful, she has been married three times, and three husbands have died, and the people of Jiangzhou have secretly rumored that the eldest lady of the Duhu Mansion is destined for Kefu, and whoever marries will die, so no one dares to marry again, and Miss Lin left home in heartbreak." ”

"Ahh Zhou Xuan was shocked: "I've been married three times!" Thinking of the beautiful silhouette behind the screen and the white and slender jade hand sticking out of the car window, I felt lost, no wonder Lin Hanyun was annoyed when she heard that her sister was asked why she became a monk, and she has been married three times, this and this is too much!

Qin Que said again: "I said that I was married three times, but in fact, I didn't marry once. ”

Zhou Xuan was confused.

Qin Que added: "Every time Miss Lin didn't pass through the door, the fiancé died, and three in a row were like this. ”

"I see!" Zhou Xuan deeply sympathized with Miss Lin, it turned out that Lin Daoyun became a female crown not because she was ugly and couldn't get married, but because she died three husbands in a row before she passed the door, and since then she has been accompanied by green lights and yellow scrolls, such a fate is really sad, especially a stunning beauty like Lin Daoyun, which really makes Zhou Xuan too pitiful.

"So, does Que Er think that the house of Suzaku Fang is unlucky?" Qin Que said what she really wanted to say.

Zhou Xuan didn't believe in these, even if there were these, everyone had their own lives, how could they generalize, and said with a smile: "Que'er, you have to figure it out, Lin Du's house for me was not given to me as her daughter's dowry, hehe." ”

Qin Que glanced at him coquettishly and said, "You don't dare to marry you." ”

In fact, Qin Que didn't believe in that, and Miss Lin's three husbands didn't die in that mansion, so they couldn't blame the head of that mansion, but her mother, Mrs. Qin, believed in this, and out of the idea of not wanting her daughter and son-in-law to move out, she asked Qin Que to tell Zhou Xuan.

Zhou Xuan said again: "This is Lin Duhu's good intentions, if we refuse because of those nonsense in the market, not only will it hurt Miss Lin's heart, but Lin Duhu will also be annoyed and angry, then I think we are in Jiangzhou and have to move to other states." ”

Qin Que was stunned, and hurriedly said: "What the husband said is true, the finch is wrong, and the husband has all the ideas." ”

Zhou Xuan took advantage of Qin Que's mistake and weak heart, took her hand and stroked it a few times, and when he wanted to touch other places inch by inch, Qin Que broke free with a red face and ran away.
