Chapter 153: Solicitation of Opinions

"The younger Sun Dong gave the old lady, and the eldest master gave a gift." Sun Dong respectfully greeted the two.

"Hehe, you are a guest, you don't need to be called a big master, I am older than you, Uncle Sheng should not be wronged by you, right?" Liu Wenxiong asked with a smile.

One sentence brought the distance between the two sides a lot closer, and it was really an old Jianghu-Sun Dong thought in his heart.

"The little nephew gives his uncle a salute." Sun Dong saluted again, he was not stupid, of course he would not let go of the opportunity to get closer.

"Hehe, okay, good, since you called me uncle, I can't let you call in vain, all blessings." Liu Wenxiong shouted loudly and loudly to the butler who was waiting next to him.

The housekeeper has probably followed Liu Wenxiong for a long time, and a tacit understanding has already been formed between the two of them, and without waiting for Liu Wenxiong to say more, he has already taken out a red envelope from his arms and handed it to Sun Dong respectfully with both hands.

"It's a little meaning, one is to be a meeting gift, and the other is to thank you for playing chess with my father a few days ago to relieve boredom, not much, it's just a little bit of my heart." Liu Wenxiong said with a smile.

Not many? Well, it's not much? Sun Dong sighed secretly in his heart - the red envelope is made of paper, and it is not bulging, which means that it should be filled with something like a silver ticket, and in the Great Zhou Dynasty, the lowest denomination of a silver ticket is also five taels, in other words, Liu Wenxiong gave a meeting gift of five taels of silver as soon as he met, and as an eight-grade chess player, such a shot is really generous beyond imagination, even if it contains the meaning of the remuneration for guiding Mrs. Liu to play chess, it is also a rich mess.

"Playing chess with the old lady is something that juniors should do, how dare you be such a heavy gift to your uncle." Sun Dong was busy shaking his hand and refused, but how could the greed that flashed in his eyes escape the eyes of Liu Wenxiong, who had been rolling in the business for decades.

"It's all said, since you call me uncle and father, what is this little money? Isn't it too little, and you don't plan to come to my house to play chess with my father in the future? Sinking his face, Liu Wenxiong asked with a pretended dissatisfaction.

"Well, since Uncle Du said so, the little nephew has no choice but to be disrespectful." looked at Mrs. Liu, who was looking at herself with a smile, knowing that she would act if she pretended to be any longer, so she politely said a few words, accepted the red envelope, and put it in her arms.

Accepting the red envelope, Liu Wenxiong invited Sun Dong to sit down, and the two housekeepers also stood behind the two Liu family masters, guessing from the position where they stood, it is estimated that the two have their own division of labor in Liu's mansion, one is responsible for daily management, and the other is next to Liu Wenxiong to take care of business.

Liu Wenxiong began to chat with Sun Dong, one sentence in the east and one sentence in the west, mainly talking about Sun Dong's experience, from how he became obsessed with Go when he was a child, to going out to study in his hometown, to the decay of his family, and the death of his parents, all the way, until he recently accepted the invitation of the Su family and came to Meilong Town to teach Su Jing chess skills, these things are basically not hidden, Sun Dong almost told it all, because he has determined that Liu Wenxiong is an old man who is old in accidents, and his boldness is only the appearance, but the inside is extremely fine, and his own little Taoism can fool ordinary people. If you want to hide from Liu Wenxiong, you can't do it at all, and if you can't gain the trust of the other party, then the red envelope in your arms is the first, I'm afraid it is also the last, right?

"Hehe, for the sake of his nephew, Mr. Su can be regarded as regardless of the cost. If Su Jing can win the championship in the competition, the prize money is fifty taels of silver, and your honorarium is forty taels, so you can only get ten taels at most, which is really not a good deal. After listening to Sun Dong's story, Liu Wenxiong said with a smile - when he went out to do business, opened up joints, and got closer to each other, he would give away dozens or hundreds of taels of silver, without even blinking his eyelids, and this little income was really not worth mentioning.

"Heh, you can't say that, Su Quan has a good face, but if you don't have the heart to win, what is the difference between horses, cows, pigs and sheep in the world? Although it was a bit of a fuss to invite Xiaodong to Qingyun City for a small competition, I still appreciate his mentality. If it weren't for my age and lack of energy, I would have really invited a master like Xiaodong from Qingyun City to tutor me in playing chess. Old lady Liu said with a smile - since Sun Dong is commensurate with his son and nephew, his title will naturally change.

"The old lady has a ruddy complexion, is in good spirits, where will he be low in energy, if he doesn't think Sun Dong's chess ability is low, Sun Dong is willing to come to play chess with the old lady often to relieve boredom." Sun Dong hurriedly expressed that just by playing a game of chess, he would get five taels of silver in return, so if he became Old Lady Liu's playmate, how much benefit would Tianda get?

"Hehe, of course it's the best, but I'm afraid that the old man will be confused, and when the time comes, you will be in a hurry." Old lady Liu said with a smile.

"Heh, how can it be, I can accompany the old lady to relieve my boredom and solve my worries, Sun Dong can't ask for it." As soon as he heard his own request for a play, Sun Dong raised his eyebrows and hurriedly said.

"Hehe, then it's decided, I won't have to trouble you during this time." Old lady Liu said with a smile - the real rich people will not talk about any remuneration and hardship like ordinary people, it will be too vulgar, Sun Dong will not take the initiative to ask this kind of question stupidly, I also know that when I want to return to Qingyun City at the end of the year, I only need to go to Liu's mansion to say goodbye, and I am afraid that the Liu family will not give me a generous amount of travel expenses?

"By the way, you should have been in Qingyun Town for three days, right?" Liu Wenxiong asked.

"Well, counting today, it's been four days." Sun Dong replied.

"So you've been teaching Su Jing for a while, how do you feel about that kid? Is it possible to become famous in the future? Liu Wenxiong asked again.

"That kid" Sun Dong's face showed embarrassment, he didn't know what Liu Wenxiong's purpose was in asking this, whether he was asking casually, or asking for his own opinion? You must know that Su Quan and the Liu family have a good relationship, and they will come over as guests from time to time, and they will talk casually, in case it reaches Su Quan's ears, wouldn't it be very embarrassing?

"Hehe, if you have something to say, you might as well say it directly, this question is naturally my purpose, I won't tell you first, I don't want you to have concerns first, you can't speak freely, and after you finish speaking, I will naturally tell you. As for what we are talking about, don't worry, we won't tell anyone about it. Seeing what the other party was worried about, Liu Wenxiong said with a smile.

I see

Sun Dong breathed a sigh of relief - since the other party's question is not untargeted, it is more credible to guarantee that the situation of the conversation will not be spread, besides, he will only stay in Meilong Town until the end of the game, and he will return to Qingyun City before the holiday, by then Su Quanzhi does not know, what does it have to do with him?
