The holy decree stated that Tan Xiaotian should sign in to the palace within three days after receiving the decree, and the three days in the middle were used to deal with those things that should be done, and one of the things that must be done is to thank those who have helped him, and the most important thing in this is the three examiners during the three trials. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Among the three chief examiners, Cui Shilang is an official of the Ministry of Rites, and Gonggong Wei works in the palace and has no direct relationship with the chess world, so for the Zheng family, Jiang Dingshan is the most important one, plus today's big chess is the Jiang family's bull's ear, and Jiang Dingshan is the most likely candidate to become the next generation of the Jiang family's head of the family, both in the Hanlin Academy and in the chess world, so the Zheng family can't be sloppy at all on this trip to thank him.

The people who went to visit Jiangfu were headed by Zheng Jili, who had the same rank as Jiang Dingshan in the chess world, and was Tan Xiaotian's teacher, so it was most appropriate for him to take Tan Xiaotian to visit.

Jiang Dingshan happened to be with his wife when he saw Zheng Jili and Tan Xiaotian's visit, and heard that the genius prodigy of the same age as his deceased grandson that her husband talked about a few days ago came, maybe it was that longing and regret, Mrs. Jiang also had curiosity and wanted to see this child, so Jiang Dingshan ordered someone to take the guests to his residence.

Guests enter the courtyard gate, Jiang Dingshan and his wife come forward, salute each other, although Zheng Jili has not seen Mrs. Jiang before, but from Mrs. Jiang's speech and demeanor it is not difficult to guess the identity of the other party, a little strange in my heart, because according to the usual etiquette, guests visit, the main family greets, if the guest with family members, then the main family will arrange for the female family to receive, if not, then the female family of the main family will rarely take the initiative to show up, the so-called male protagonist outside, female protagonist is also, this time he did not bring Mrs. over, Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Dingshan appeared together, This made him a little surprised, but this is the Jiang family, as the saying goes, the guest is as the host, this is just a trivial matter, so he was just a little stunned, but he didn't take it to heart.

"Every day, greet Mr. Jiang and Mrs. Jiang." Zheng Jili instructed Tan Xiaotian behind him.

"Mr. Jiang, Mrs. Jiang, Tan Xiaotian greets the two of you." Tan Xiaotian took two steps forward, raised his hands high, and respectfully saluted the two of them.

"Hehe, this is Mr. Zheng's newly accepted inner disciple Tiantian, right? I have long heard from my grandson that Mr. Zheng has accepted a disciple, who is talented and talented, which has only been seen in the past 20 years, and looking at the entire territory of the Great Zhou, it is also rare, and there is no one in the world, and I often lament, why is such a genius boy not in the Jiang family. "Mrs. Jiang is from a large family of eunuchs, and has received an extremely strict education since she was a child, treats people with affairs, speaks generously and decently, and is very skilled.

"Madame, what are you talking about?" Jiang Dingshan couldn't help blushing a little, and hurriedly whispered a protest - of course he really said that, as a member of the chess world, who would believe the idea of seeing a talented and talented seedling and saying that he didn't accept it as a disciple in his heart? However, it always feels a little weird to talk about this in front of the master, you must know that the Jiang and Zheng families are both one of the four major Go families, and the relationship between them is competition and cooperation, and there may be more elements of competition, so it will be regarded as a joke between the two sides who have a harmonious relationship, but with the situation of the Jiang and Zheng families at this time, maybe it will make the other party wary.

"Hehe, Mrs. Jiang praised it falsely, this child's talent is indeed good, but it is not exaggerated to the point that it will make Mr. Jiang jealous, who doesn't know that the Jiang family has a big business and many talents, speaking of accumulation, if the Jiang family says second, who in the world dares to call it first?" After hearing this, Zheng Jili's face was as usual, and he smiled and said modestly-it is normal for Jiang Dingshan to have such thoughts, Mrs. Jiang is just telling the truth, showing the openness in her heart.

"Although I only know a little bit about the way of chess, but I have lived in the Jiang family for so many years, I can be regarded as more or less knowledgeable, talent is something that cannot be seen, touched, and it is not important to say that it is important, but to say that it is not important, it is self-deception, sometimes it is a little bit worse, but if you can't do it, you can't do it, no matter how hard you use it, it's the same. There are many children in the Jiang family who learn chess, but there is no one who will be said like that by his grandson, I know his temperament best, if there is no real material every day, he will not praise a word if you hold a knife on his neck. Mrs. Jiang shook her head and continued.

"Huh." Glancing at Jiang Dingshan, Zheng Jili smiled and said hehe, he couldn't continue to say this, of course he was happy to hear others praise his disciples for being excellent, but he also had to take care of other people's feelings. The husband and wife are deeply in love, and it doesn't matter how they tease and joke with each other, but where is it so easy for an outsider to grasp the proportions, and people don't know if they offend, so it's better to be safe, hehe.

"Every day, come here, let me take a good look." Zheng Jili didn't answer, Mrs. Jiang naturally turned her eyes to Tan Xiaotian, and this was what she wanted to do the most, stretching out her hand to say hello, with a smile on her face, full of kindness.

Tan Xiaotian took two steps forward as he said and came to Mrs. Jiang, Mrs. Jiang's smile was very kind, and the fine wrinkles on the corners of her eyes and eyebrows gave people a warm feeling.

"Hehe, that's good." With her hands on the child's shoulders, Mrs. Jiang half-bent down and looked at Tan Xiaotian carefully, she looked very carefully, as if she was looking at her grandson who was no longer alive, looking at it, her eyes turned red unconsciously, and she hurriedly withdrew her right hand, gently wiped the corners of her eyes, and wiped away the tears that were about to overflow her eyes.

"Mrs. Jiang, what's wrong with you?" Tan Xiaotian didn't know why, he couldn't understand why this kind old lady suddenly became sad, thinking that she didn't do anything, just stood here honestly and let the other party watch, why did this happen.

"Oh, nothing, nothing. I was happy in my heart. Hehe, Joyama, speaking of which, the appearance of this child is a little similar to that of Li'er when she was young, with curved eyebrows and big eyes, do you see if it is. Mrs. Jiang also knew that she had lost her temper, shook her head with a smile, raised her hand to stroke Tan Xiaotian's head and rubbed it twice, and then said to her husband. (To be continued.) )
