Yan Qing was very bored today, drank tea, and after dinner, he looked at Xu Zizhou who was sitting opposite him, and felt that it was good for someone to drink tea and chat with him like this, so he didn't want to leave.

So, he said to Xu Zizhou, "The next game of chess?" It's still early in the morning anyway. ”

Xu Zizhou held back and almost asked, "Do you know that Miss Ling taught me to play chess?" So you deliberately want to play chess with me? He looked at Yan Qing and didn't see what he was thinking in his heart, he only saw that he looked lazy, looking like he didn't want to move after eating, so he nodded with self-restraint, "Okay, I'm not good at playing chess, I'm afraid it's not as good as the little marquis." ”

Even if he was a Dengke Tanhualang three years ago, even if he was now an official Jingzhao Yin Shaoyin, even if he soon became the youngest Jingzhao Yin Mansion Yin in Houliang, even if he followed Ling Hua to learn chess skills for a few days, but for Yan Qing, he didn't dare to say that he was proficient in chess.

The things before the little marquis of the banquet were still sighed by others, and everyone mentioned it, it was a compliment, amazing and gorgeous. It is said that he was proficient in the six arts of a gentleman, learned literature and martial arts, and was known as the only star in the Later Liang at that time.

He came to Beijing for the imperial examination three years ago, so naturally he had not seen a banquet for more than four years, but it did not prevent him from humbly seeking advice.

Seeing him say this, Yan Qing curled the corners of his lips, "It's just to pass the time, Xu Shaoyin has to teach my fiancée chess for a few days, don't be modest." ”

Xu Zizhou's heart "chuckled", his mind suddenly fluctuated greatly, and he barely suppressed it, and asked tentatively, "Miss Ling told the little marquis that she was teaching me chess skills?" ”

Yan nodded lightly, his face relaxed, "Yes." ”

Xu Zizhou didn't know what it was like for a while, in short, the taste was not very pleasant, looking at Yan Qing's face, saying that he didn't care, he was drinking tea with him today and saying that his fiancée's tea was better, and he was playing chess with him and said that he knew that his fiancée taught him to play chess, saying that he cared, he couldn't see it on his face, he was lazy, he just said it so casually.

He took a deep breath and smiled, "Since Miss Ling told the little marquis, you must also know Miss Ling's plan for the East Palace?" ”

Now that Chen Qiaoyue has been beheaded by His Majesty, Qian Geng, a close minister of the East Palace, has been beheaded by His Majesty, and the matter has come to an end, and he is not afraid to mention it.

"Yes. She said it too. Yan nodded lightly, not too concerned, "I'm not interested in what she is planning, so she just tells me casually." ”

Xu Zizhou smiled, "Miss Ling really trusts the little marquis, tell the little marquis everything, you know, her plan is a little leaky, and if the East Palace knows about it, she will lose all her money." ”

Yan raised his eyebrows lightly, "I'm a gentleman, and I'm not an aunt who is talking around, whether she says it to me or not, it's all a result." ”

"But ......," he smiled, "I'm glad she could tell me, at least knowing what my fiancée does every day." ”

Xu Zizhou was quite surprised, "It seems that the little marquis likes Miss Ling very much?" ”

"Like?" Yan lightly savored these two words and shook his head honestly, "Generally!" ”

Xu Zizhou was stunned, he wanted to ask Yan Qing, he took the initiative to mention his fiancée in front of him, and then he played tea and chess, and said that his fiancée told him something, and he was also happy, knowing what his fiancée was doing every day, isn't this a liking?

So what should his liking look like?

It was probably because Xu Zizhou's expression was too complicated, Yan Qing took the initiative to talk to him, "I like this, I don't understand it very well, Xu Shaoyin understands it very well?" If you know a lot, you might as well give me some pointers. ”

Xu Zizhou's mood was more complicated, he felt that his suspicion was right, Yan Qing was probably deliberate, and now he went around in a circle, and he liked him, and asked him to point him out, where did he dare to point? Does he want to tell him that I like Miss Ling and your fiancée?

If he had just walked in and had done nothing, not even a sip of tea, and had asked him straight to the point about liking it, he might have told him the truth. But he first said that the tea made by Yunxiangzhai's tea master was not as delicious as her fiancée, and then pointed out that his fiancée taught him to play chess, and then said that his fiancée even told him about the plot of the East Palace, and asked him to speak?

Xu Zizhou's heart seemed to be blocked, and he regretted that he shouldn't have come to drink tea with Yan Qing today, he would rather he send him the most valuable thing in his house to give him a thank you gift, than to be roasted by him on the fire now.

He was silent for a moment, and shook his head lightly at the banquet, "I like this matter, I don't know much about it, I really don't have anything to point out about the little marquis, but I think Miss Ling should like the little marquis very much." ”

"Oh? How so? Yan Qing seemed to be interested in hearing about the topic.

Xu Zizhou said aggrievedly, "If Miss Ling is unwilling, even if there is such a ridiculous thing as a marriage contract transfer, she has a way to deal with it, and she will not agree to marry the little marquis at all." ”

"She said that if I don't marry her, it will hurt her, no one dares to marry her, and she will not be able to marry for the rest of her life." Yan said lightly, "I did something wrong, I can't help it, I can't harm others, so I agreed to marry her." ”

Xu Zizhou felt uncomfortable, but he couldn't show it on his face, "What Miss Ling said is not right, even if the little marquis doesn't marry her, there are many people in this capital who want to marry her." ”

Yan Qing didn't seem to believe it, "Who?" Xu Shaoyin knows? Is there a list? ”

Xu Zizhou: "......"

He also reasonably suspected that if he really said it, the little marquis would invite people to tea one by one. Although this tea is a good tea, it is really not very easy to digest when you drink it.

He looked at Yan Qing, "Little Hou Ye wants to know what the list does?" ”

"Let's take a look at them one by one." Yan Qing was very sincere, "Are they all crooked melons and cracked dates?" That's why she doesn't like it? ”

Xu Zizhou: "......"

Suddenly, I felt that there was a connotation.

He didn't want to speak for a moment.

Yan Qing didn't let him go, "Is there anything good?" ”

Xu Zizhou held his breath and asked, "In the eyes of the little marquis, what kind of people are good and what kind of people are bad?" ”

Yan Qing has a lot to say, "The long-looking ones are good-looking and the long-looking ones are not good-looking." ”

Xu Zizhou: "......"

Disrespectful, it turns out that you are also a color-loving person. In that case, no one in the capital is as good as you.

He was tired and didn't want to discuss this with Yan Qing, so he asked him, "Little Hou Ye, are you still playing chess?" ”

"Down." Yan Qing's attention was quickly diverted back, and he instructed to the side, "Yunluo, go find a game of chess." ”

Yunluo nodded and turned to go.

Yan Qing continued to say to Xu Zizhou, "Is there anything wrong with this? ”

Xu Zizhou shook his head, "No, the little marquis is high." ”

Yan Qing was very happy, "My fiancée likes everything good-looking, good-looking clothes and jewelry, good-looking treasures, good-looking things, of course, including people. Not only that, she wants the best to eat, drink and have fun, whatever she wants. ”

"So, what does the little marquis mean, he is willing to marry you, is he taking a fancy to your face?" Xu Zizhou really didn't want to say this, he was really going crazy after being tortured by Yan Qing.

Yan nodded lightly, "Huh?" ”

He looked at Xu Zizhou and commented to himself, "My face is the best-looking, isn't it?" ”

Xu Zizhou: "...... Right! ”

This cannot be refuted, and no one can refute it, the facts are here.

Yan Qing seemed to have found a reason, "That's right, she is willing to marry me, just because I am good-looking, and when I was drunk and promised Qin Huan, she took my handle and grabbed me, she felt that it was enough, as for those crooked melons and cracked dates who lined up to marry him, she couldn't look down on them." ”

Xu Zizhou didn't just want to speak, he didn't want to hear it.

Yan sighed lightly, sad to himself, "Hey, why am I so good-looking!" It's really burdensome! ”

Xu Zizhou: "......"

He couldn't sit still, he didn't want to play chess, he wanted to quit now.

Yunluo came back with the chessboard, silently put it on the table, silently helped the two of them lay out the chessboard, opened the chessbox, and silently stepped aside, as a shadow.

Yan chuckled and asked, "Xu Shaoyin, do you like white or black seeds?" ”

"With the little marquis, it doesn't matter."

Yan Qing picked up the sunspot, "Since that's the case, Xu Shaoyin please." ”

Xu Zizhou silently picked up the white child.

Yan Qing finally stopped talking, and the two of them went back and forth, and got up.

Yan Qing has no chess style, it really looks like he is playing chess to pass the time, the whole person is still lazy, there is no sitting posture, the chess is very messy, east and west, which makes people scratch their heads.

Xu Zizhou didn't dare to take it lightly, he didn't dare to underestimate the banquet before, but now after today, he has seen his torture great, and he doesn't dare to underestimate him, he is a poor student, smart and persevering, three years of officialdom training, if there is no real talent and learning, he will not sit in the position of Jing Zhaoyin, not to mention three years steadily, and now under the promotion of Ling Hua, he will soon become the youngest third-grade member of Houliang.

So, he's also amazing.

His chess skills may not have been good before, it was a shortcoming, but after a few days of Ling Hua's mention, he didn't dare to say that he had no opponent, but he could definitely be called a good chess skill.

But that's it, with his full effort, he played against Yan Qing, and the result was a draw.
