"Huh? Hehe, you really can't brag. Seeing Yuan Lang's moves, Mrs. Liu smiled and put the chess pieces that had been pinched in his hand back into the chess piece - he was going to use one son for two purposes, aiming at the opponent's two weaknesses and making a killing move, but he didn't expect that the killer weapon with high hopes was easily resolved by others, and it was obvious that Yuan Lang's praise just now was really just to make the old man happy, otherwise how could it be cracked so easily? Although the situation at this time is not completely unable to persist by relying on the huge advantage of the previous Liuzi, the confidence has been lost, and it will be boring to go down again.

At this moment, a subordinate hurriedly walked to the pavilion from outside the garden, "Old lady, Teacher Su asks to see you." The next person reported.

"Uh, really?" After listening to the report of the subordinates, Mrs. Liu secretly wondered in her heart, and subconsciously looked at Yuan Lang - the so-called peers are enemies, and the so-called literati are light, Yuan Lang and Su Quan are not in harmony with each other, and there are very few people in the town who don't know about it, and the Liu family's status in Meilong Town is transcendent, and every move is easy to cause discussion among the townspeople, so the Liu family is also very cautious when dealing with the relationship with these two school teachers, a bowl of water is even, and I don't want outsiders to have a feeling of favoritism. Therefore, when the Go class is opened, the two schools also provide chess equipment, and when learning chess, the two of them take turns to invite them to the house. I don't know what's going on, do you have to rush to come today? Could it be that Su Quan forgot that Yuan Lang must have been there at this time?

Yuan Lang smiled faintly, "Hehe, I heard that the old lady has collected a lot of out-of-print books, can you let Yuan pay a look." He smiled and bowed his hand, and found an excuse to leave, not wanting to embarrass Mrs. Liu.

"Hehe, it's okay, take Teacher Yuan to my study." Old lady Liu understood Yuan Lang's intentions, borrowed the slope to get off the donkey, and ordered his subordinates to take Yuan Lang away, and he went to the living room to see Su Quan.

In the living room, Su Quanzheng was admiring the calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall with his hands behind his back - these are all collected from all over the country by the Liu family for several generations of business, traveling from south to north, and many of them are meticulous works of famous calligraphers and painters of previous dynasties.

Hearing the footsteps coming from outside the door, and knowing that it was Mrs. Liu who had arrived, Su Quan turned around and saw Mrs. Liu walking into the door, so he hurriedly bowed his hand and greeted him.

"Hehe, Teacher Su is not teaching the children in Wanjuanlou at this time, what is the matter that is in a hurry to come to me?" Old lady Liu asked Su Quan to sit down, and she asked with a smile after sitting down.

"Heh, the matter is not very urgent, but it is very important, please forgive me for disturbing the old lady's rest." Su Quan replied with a smile - in fact, what he thought in his heart was the opposite of what he said, the things he wanted to ask for from Old Lady Liu were not important, but he was in a hurry, if he didn't act at the first time, the meaning would be greatly depreciated after tomorrow.

"Oh? Hehe, what's that going on? Old lady Liu asked with interest.

took out a ring from his sleeve pocket and put it on the coffee table, Su Quan's expression was a little ashamed.

Old lady Liu was very surprised-Su Quan encountered something difficult, and he urgently needed capital turnover to cash in this thing? With the relationship between the two parties, is it necessary to use this? If you can borrow money for turnover, you don't need any collateral, but if you can't borrow money, what's the use of giving yourself a ring? Could it be that with his own family background and financial resources, would such a gadget be rare?

Holding the ring in his hand and examining it carefully, Old Lady Liu felt even more strange - wasn't this the one he gave to Su Jing yesterday? Although the ring in his own collection is not very valuable, it has been with him for more than ten years, even if he is old and dizzy, it is impossible to admit his mistake.

"What does this mean? This is a gift for a child, do you want to give it back to me? Looking at Su Quan again, Old Lady Liu asked, with a little dissatisfaction in her tone - for an old man like him, money is a foreign thing, face is more important than money, and the gift given out is returned, doesn't that mean that he doesn't care about himself?

"No, old lady, don't get me wrong. It's not that I want to give it back to you, but Jing'er really doesn't have the face to accept it. Su Quan smiled bitterly.

Su Jing's solution to the question of life and death and the reward of Old Lady Liu have been spread by Pang Laosi, at this moment the ring is no longer a symbol of honor, but an existence similar to a laughing stock, and continuing to keep this ring will only be looked down upon. In addition, there are a lot of people in Liu's house, and not all of them stay in the house every day to serve the old lady, even if the housekeeper Ah Fu is strict and does not pass on small words, who can guarantee that the other subordinates will not spread the news they heard to the ears of the old lady Liu, of course, with the status of the old lady Liu, he will not be annoyed and angry, ask his own teacher, and let himself have to give an explanation, but if he does not understand human feelings and pretends to be deaf and dumb, it will inevitably make the old lady Liu look down on himself and have a bad heart, and it will be too worthless to lead to such a result for the sake of a ring.

"What's shameless? I'm happy to send it, and children like it too, where is the talk about this? Old lady Liu said strangely when he heard this--if Su Quan said that the gift was too expensive, it was reasonable to be worthy of Su Jing's dedication to solving the problem, after all, the value of the ring was always more than a dozen taels of silver, the problem was that Su Quan's reason was 'no face to accept', such words would be too much, right?

"Huh? Hasn't Butler Afu told you yet? Su Quan pretended to be surprised and asked--The housekeeper Ah Fu has a lot of things to do in Liu's house, and he only heard the news from Pang Laosi when he went out at noon, and he may not have time to tell Old Lady Liu, the reason why he knew that Yuan Lang was also in Liu's Mansion at this time but still came to visit Old Lady Liu instead of waiting until tomorrow when it was his turn to enter the mansion to teach chess, was to explain to Old Lady Liu in person, not through a third party, although there was no difference in terms of results, but the psychological feelings of the parties concerned may be diametrically opposite.

"Say what?" Old lady Liu asked--Learning chess in the afternoon, this has almost become his recent habit, and everyone in the Liu Mansion knows that if it weren't for some great event, a clever person like the housekeeper Ah Fu would definitely not report to himself at this time and disturb his own Yaxing. "The question you asked Jing'er to do yesterday, the answer Jing'er gave was wrong, that question was not a robbery, but a black death before nothing, a net death." Su Quan replied very seriously.

"Uh, isn't it robbery?" Hearing Su Quan's answer, Mrs. Liu was stunned for a moment, and then understood why the other party wanted to return the ring - he gave the ring because he had successfully solved the problem, and now that he had solved the problem wrongly, the reason for accepting the reward was naturally lost.
