An Ran sat upright, glanced at Chu Kang, turned his eyes to look at Nan Ling Ye, and smiled slightly. Nan Lingye bowed slightly at her, her face was still indifferent, but her eyes were extremely hot.

An Ran played a tune, and as soon as the tune started, Chu Kang, who was originally a little careless, suddenly looked down, raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at An Ran.

After the song was played, An Ran said modestly: "Ah Ran is ugly. ”

"I didn't expect that Miss An's piano skills are so high, which makes Chu impressed today. Chu Kang rarely praised anyone, and his evaluation of An Ran this time was very high.

It is normal for ordinary families to be proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but An Ran's piano skills are comparable to those of the celebrities of Fengxian Ju.

"Thank you Uncle Chu for the compliment, Ah Ran is ashamed. An Ran smiled and said modestly.

"Miss An came with King Lie today, she shouldn't have come to visit Chu, let alone to enjoy tea and flowers with Chu, right?" Chu Kang said directly.

An Ran pursed the corners of his mouth, smiled lightly, first motioned to the subordinates on the side to take the piano away, then picked up the folding fan on the table, and said: "I really can't hide anything from Uncle Chu, but before Ah Ran explains the reason, please don't be so polite, just call me Ah Ran." ”

Chu Kang bowed slightly, "Yes." ”

"Ah Ran came this time, he actually wanted to worship Uncle Chu as a teacher, I don't know if it's okay?" An Ran made his intentions clear, and his attitude was not humble or silent.

Hearing this, Chu Kang raised his eyebrows, looking a little surprised. He thought about many reasons, but he never thought that An Ran came this time because of this.

But he never took disciples, nor did he like them. He is used to being free, and he does not like the fetters of anyone or anything.

"I never take disciples. Chu Kang said bluntly, glanced at An Ran, paused, and then continued: "What's more, you and I have special identities, and it would be really inappropriate for me to accept you as an apprentice." Again, although you are good at the piano, what I really love the most is chess. ”

An Ran is the eldest lady of the An family, and he is a member of the Chu family. If he accepts An Ran as an apprentice, it will inevitably make people feel that the An family and the Chu family are one party, and to put it more ugly, it is he who climbed the power of the An family and tried to regain the position of the head of the Chu family.

Hearing Chu Kang's words, An Ran just smiled, and the calmness on his face made Chu Kang have to look at An Ran with admiration.

The woman in front of her, her temperament and demeanor, not to mention the daughter of the family, is the Langjun of the family, which is difficult to compare.

"Uncle Chu's words are wrong, your identity and I are not a problem, I worship you as a teacher, but because I admire your personality and want to learn chess and the way of life with you. It has nothing to do with the interests of the family. How outsiders want to judge, we can't stop it, let alone ignore it. As for Uncle Chu's chess skills, why don't you take advantage of it now and play a game between Ah Ran and Uncle Chu?"

Hearing An Ran's words, Chu Kang liked An Ran even more in his heart, no one had ever dared to play against him in such a big tone.

An Ran is the first!

"Ah Ran said so, if I don't promise you, won't it seem that I'm stingy?" Chu Kang said with a smile, and then ordered someone to bring the chessboard, and the two immediately played against each other.

I thought that An Ran would lose soon, but I didn't expect that there were more and more chess pieces on the chessboard, and the two of them almost forgot about themselves.

An Ran and Chu Kang played chess, and they forgot about it, and they didn't notice it, I don't know when, Nan Lingye had already left.

Finally, a game of chess was played, and the final result was that An Ran lost to Chu Kang.

The two smiled when they met, and An Ran said: "Uncle Chu really deserves to be a chess saint, Ah Ran really admires it." ”

"You're not bad either, you're by far the strongest opponent I've ever faced. I have to say, you're really extraordinary. This is Chu Kang's sincere words, An Ran's chess skills are very high, which makes him admire.

With such understanding and wisdom at such a young age, Chu Kang likes An Ran from the bottom of his heart.

An Ran smiled, only to find that Nan Lingye was gone. Asked the subordinate next to her, only to find out that when she was playing chess with Chu Kang just now, Nan Lingye left first if she had something to do, because seeing her and Chu Kang playing so selflessly, it was not easy to disturb them, so she only said to the subordinate person, and let her tell An Ran when the time came.

Nan Lingye probably felt that Chu Kang should be willing to accept her as an apprentice, so he left with confidence.

"King Beichulie can actually be your finger wrapper, Ah Ran, you are really not simple. Chu Kang quipped.

An Ran smiled a little shyly and said, "Ye Lang is very good to me. ”

A simple sentence actually contains a lot of affection.

"You can see it. Chu Kang said with a smile. Then he asked, "Why do you want to worship me as a teacher?"

"Please hold back for now, there are some words, Ah Ran and Uncle Xiangchu will talk about it alone. An Ran said.

Chu Kang glanced at her, and then sent the people back, leaving only him and Chu Kang in the courtyard.

"Say anything. Chu Kang said.

"Uncle Chu's question, Ah Ran can answer you now, because I want to become stronger. Uncle Chu is known as the chess saint, and Ah Ran hopes to worship you as a teacher and learn chess skills from you. An Ran said heartily.

Hearing this, Chu Kang just smiled slightly, disappreciating, and then looked at An Ran and said: "Because I am a chess master, I want to worship me as a teacher to learn art, so if you want to improve your piano skills, do you want to worship the qin saint as a teacher?"

"Uncle Chu is right, Qin Saint Du Qingfan is Ah Ran's master. An Ran did not shy away from admitting.

When Chu Kang heard her words, he looked at her with some shock, he heard it right just now, An Ran said that Du Qingfan was her master?

At the beginning, the matter of Fengxian Julin Yufeng was so sensational, and Du Qingfan accepted Lin Yufeng as an apprentice in public. And as far as he knows, Du Qingfan has only one apprentice, so An Ran said that Du Qingfan is her master, is she ......

"I'm Lin Yufeng!" An Ran knew that Chu Kang must want to ask this, so she admitted it directly.

As soon as the words came out, Chu Kang was shocked, but he didn't expect that An Ran was Lin Yufeng!

"I didn't expect that you would be Lin Yufeng. Chu Kang exclaimed, not only did he not expect it, but the people of the entire Fengdu did not expect it.

An Ran smiled lightly, holding the folding fan in his hand, playing with it.

"Ah Ran, to be honest, I really want to take you as an apprentice, but ......" Chu Kang stopped when he wanted to speak.

An Ran knew what Chu Kang was avoiding, if he really accepted An Ran as an apprentice, it would be difficult for the other side of the Chu family to be afraid of it, after all, An Ran was the eldest lady of the An family, and the An family was the largest family in Dasheng.

Chu Kang lives leisurely in this courtyard, never participating in the affairs of the Chu family, just because he doesn't want to get involved in those deceitful struggles for power and profit, which An Ran understands very well.

However, even if Chu Kang does not fight or win, the other side of the Chu family will never let him go in the future, because no matter what, Chu Kang represents half of the Chu family, and what he has is also half of the Chu family's power.

"Does Uncle Chu really think that if he accepts me as an apprentice, he will be involved in the political family struggle, and if he doesn't accept me as an apprentice, he can stay out of the matter?" An Ran asked directly.

Chu Kang didn't speak, he was silent as if he was pondering something.

Seeing that Chu Kang was silent, An Ran continued: "In the current world, Uncle Chu must know better than me that the weak eat the strong, everyone wants to fight for the greatest power, and no one can stay out of it. Even if you have no intention of fighting with it, will others think so? Only when you are strong can you be able to protect yourself and the people you want to protect. Doesn't Uncle Chu understand this truth?"

Hearing An Ran's words, Chu Kang seemed to understand something, looked at An Ran with some surprise, and then showed a look of appreciation on his face.

"You really deserve to be Yuhan's daughter, one day, I think you will be able to surpass your father and take charge alone. Chu Kang appreciated.

Hearing Chu Kang's praise, An Ran just smiled lightly, and probably understood in his heart that Chu Kang was already willing to accept her as an apprentice.

"Uncle Chu has an overreputation. An Ran said with a smile.

"Isn't it time to change this title?" Chu Kang asked with a calm expression.

An Ran naturally heard his voice, then knelt down and saluted, and said sweetly, "Apprentice to see Master." ”

Chu Kang smiled, then helped An Ran up, asked her to sit down, took out a jade pendant from his arms, handed it to An Ran, and said, "This jade pendant is given to you for the teacher." From now on, you will be my Chu Kang's apprentice. ”

"Master Xie. An Ran took the jade pendant, held it in his hand and looked at it, the mutton fat condensed jade, the texture is excellent, engraved with a Chu character, presumably this jade pendant must represent Chu Kang's identity, An Ran looked at Chu Kang and was very grateful.

Chu Kang is a very trustworthy person, and An Ran is really happy to be able to worship Chu Kang as a teacher.

After staying in Chu Kang's courtyard for a day, it was close to evening before An Ran returned to An's house, she did not go back to Qinhuang Courtyard, but went directly to Laiyin Pavilion.

An Jin happened to be there, and when he saw An Ran coming, Lin Yin asked people to prepare an extra pair of dishes and chopsticks, and asked An Ran to stay in the Laiyin Pavilion for dinner.

"I heard that you went to Chu Mansion today. An Jin asked casually, seemingly unintentionally but intentionally.

"Hmm. An Ran bowed slightly, not intending to hide it.

"You're going to see Chu Kang, right?"

"Yes, Ah Ran has already worshipped Chu Kang as his teacher, and he will be Ah Ran's master in the future. An Ran said truthfully.

Hearing this, An Jin and Lin Yin were not surprised, they both knew how long An Ran had worked hard for today, and today finally got what he wanted.

It's just that what they didn't expect was that An Ran worshiped Chu Kang as a teacher, and it would be so smooth. Chu Kang's temperament is a little withdrawn, and he is arrogant by nature, he must really like An Ran very much, which is why it is so smooth.

An Ran took out the jade pendant that Chu Kang gave her and said, "This is the jade pendant that Master gave to Ah Ran." ”

An Jin looked at the jade pendant, his eyes narrowed slightly, and then said: "You have to put away this jade pendant, and if necessary, you can mobilize half of the forces and troops belonging to Chu Kang." ”

Hearing An Jin's words, An Ran was surprised, she thought that this was just a jade pendant representing her identity, but she never thought that the jade pendant given to her by Chu Kang could still mobilize soldiers and horses, and this apprenticeship gift would not be too big.

"It seems that Chu Kang really accepts you as an apprentice and admires you very much. When An Jin said this, his eyes were full of pride.

An Ran smiled, she was also happy in her heart, she didn't expect that the first time she saw Chu Kang, she could get such a high evaluation and love.

"Cherish this mentoring relationship. An Jin said.

"Father rest assured, Ah Ran understands. ”

Not long after finishing dinner in the Laiyin Pavilion, An Ran returned to Qinhuang Courtyard. Nan Lingye had already returned, and when she heard that she had dinner in Laiyin Pavilion, she ate it at Qifeng Tower.

Nan Lingye was waiting for her in her room, and when she saw her come in, her eyebrows were raised, and her eyes became gentle.

"It's back. Nan Lingye said lightly.

An Ran bowed slightly, sat down next to him, and leaned on his shoulder a little tiredly.

"Is everything going well?" asked Nan Lingye. At that time, seeing her and Chu Kang playing chess, he looked completely forgetful, and he thought that if he continued like this, Chu Kang should be accepted by An Ran as an apprentice, so he left first.

"Well, I've already succeeded in apprenticeship. An Ran replied. Close your eyes and close your eyes.

Hearing An Ran's words, the corners of Nan Lingye's mouth hooked slightly, and he was happy for her in his heart.
