"Yes. Although I haven't met that kid yet, I have already seen the game of chess that he and Li Qiu gave birth to, and the chess sense and aura he showed in the chess game can be called a genius, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is one in a thousand, and such a child may not be able to produce one in decades, so I said that Zhou Shaokang was unlucky when he met him. Zhao Yanwu said with a smile.

"What? Are you saying that he was the kid who gave birth to backgammon with Li Qiu? It turns out that this is true. Liu Tienan was surprised, although he had vaguely felt that the rumors in the market were related to Tan Xiaotian before he came, he couldn't help but be shocked when he heard it with his own ears.

"Huh? yes, I thought you should have known about it a long time ago. Zhao Yanwu looked at Liu Tienan with some surprise - everyone went to the Yaqu Chess Gym, and my cousin didn't know it, this was really a bit out of standard.

"Don't stare at me with that kind of look, I have a lot of news there, but most of it is hearsay, I don't know how many hands I have turned, every time I turn it, I have to be polished with oil and vinegar, and in the end, three out of ten can match the truth It would be good." Being stared at by his cousin very uncomfortably, as if questioning his own intelligence, Liu Tienan defended himself angrily.

"Hehe, I didn't say it was your problem, why are you so reactive? Drink. Seeing that his cousin was a little anxious, Zhao Yanwu smiled faintly, raised his wine glass, and said that there was no need to delve into this topic.

"This trick again, I really don't understand, how did my brother and sister stand you." Liu Tienan said stupidly, complained, and finally picked up the wine glass and touched a glass with his cousin, and continued to drink and chat.

"Excuse me, is this Zhao Yanwu Zhao's home?

After clinking glasses, before he could put the wine in his mouth, there was a sudden sound of inquiry outside the courtyard gate.

Uh, a guest?

The two of them glanced at each other, and invariably turned their eyes to the courtyard gate, where a middle-aged man in his thirties and forties stood outside. Wearing gray cloth trousers, there is a carriage parked behind it, the car is very gorgeous, carved and inlaid with copper, it is not a commodity that ordinary people can afford, the horse pulling the cart is strong and fat, snow-white from beginning to end, not even a single variegated hair, and the handlebar type is standing aside with a horsewhip in his arms. The chest is protruding and the belly is protruding, and it looks clean and neat.

"What's the matter with you?" Zhao Yanwu opened his mouth and asked--it seems that the person's costume is still the same. seems to be the manager of a big family, but Zhao Yanwu has always been high-minded, and he will not have a good face just because the other party is big.

"Oh, you are Teacher Zhao, I am Li Quan, the housekeeper of the Zhou Mansion, and I was ordered by the master to invite Teacher Zhao to come to the mansion as a guest." When that person saw Zhao Yanwu answer, he bowed his hand to show his intention.

"Which Zhou Mansion?" Zhao Yanwu asked indifferently - Yangzhou City has a population of hundreds of thousands. Among them, there are thousands of people with the surname Zhou, who does not report the name of the head of the family and only mentions a surname, who knows which way you are an immortal!

"Uh, head of the house, Zhou Peide." Li Quan replied.

"Zhou Peide?. I don't know. Zhao Yanwu thought for a while, shook his head and said.

"Uh", Li Quan outside the courtyard, Liu Tienan in the courtyard almost didn't fall when he heard it. Li Quan's expression was even more embarrassed.

"Cousin, you really don't eat fireworks in the world. Zhou Peide is the big boss of the Xinji ticket number, don't tell me that you haven't used the silver ticket of the Xinji ticket number! "It's hard to get over. Liu Tienan reminded his cousin with a smile and a smile.

"Huh? Is it? Of course I have used the silver ticket of the Xinji ticket number, but in addition to the face value printed on it, I didn't pay much attention to anything else, why, is there the name of the owner of the ticket number on it? Zhao Yanwu seemed to think about it very seriously, and then asked uncertainly.

Forget it, why am I fighting with you about this kind of thing, when you have time, you can find the silver ticket of Zhang Xinji's ticket number and study it carefully. Now that people are sending someone to invite you, can you give them a response first? Liu Tienan wanted to talk about his cousin, but when the words came to his mouth, he shook his head and changed his mind - the so-called country is easy to change, and his nature is difficult to change, and Zhao Yanwu has not become like this recently, and what he said is in vain.

"What is there to respond, I don't know Zhou Peide, and I don't plan to know him." Zhao Yanwu said disapprerovingly.

"Don't you know the truth that many friends have many roads, multiple enemies and many walls? Even if you don't plan to get acquainted with Zhou Peide, and someone specially sends someone to invite you to the house, you should at least ask why your family invited you, right? Liu Tienan sighed - his cousin, fortunately, he teaches people to play chess, if he enters the court as an official or goes to the sea to do business, he is afraid that he will make hundreds of enemies, and he doesn't even know when he offends people.

"Oh, yes. Steward Li, I don't have a relationship with your master, why did he suddenly invite me as a guest? Regarding his cousin's opinion, Zhao Yanwu was as good as a stream, and immediately asked the housekeeper of the Zhou Mansion outside the courtyard gate.

"Well, back to Mr. Zhao's words, I'm just a subordinate, my lord just asked me to invite you to come over the house as a guest, because I didn't say anything, and the villain didn't dare to speculate on his intentions, here's an invitation here, please Mr. Zhao take a look." Li Quan was also a little unhappy in his heart, thinking that although he was just a housekeeper who ran errands, but the so-called seven-rank official in front of the prime minister's door, his master was a big businessman in Yangzhou City, who wanted money and money, and wanted to be famous. I had the heart to leave with my sleeves, but I was afraid of delaying my master's affairs, so I had to explain patiently.

"That's it", it turns out that there is an invitation, then you have to see, Zhao Yanwu got up and left his seat and came to the courtyard gate, the courtyard gate of his house is very low, strictly speaking, it is a more delicate fence wall, the height is only about half a foot higher than the side, it does not need to be opened, the inside and outside can communicate, Zhao Yanwu obviously did not mean to invite the other party in, and stretched out his hand to Li Quan through the low door.

I've never seen someone who doesn't know how to be hospitable, and although he's just an errand boy, he doesn't even let the door in, which is too much, right? Is it a stinking beggar, or a terminally ill dying man, who brings disaster when he enters the courtyard?

With a blushing face, Li Quan handed the invitation card to Zhao Yanwu through the door.

Taking the invitation, Zhao Yanwu glanced at Li Quan, how could he not see the change in the other party's expression at such a close distance, and with a cold snort, he opened the invitation. (To be continued......)
