"What are you doing here?" One of the guards said, "My lord has prepared tea for you at the tea house opposite, please." ”

These people surrounded Xie Fuyi, like guarding a stove in the cold winter, and they were not warm enough, and they were reluctant to leave.

The guard took the lead and said: "My lord also said that he will not be polite to people who come uninvited and have to give an inch. ”

When these words came out, the people surrounding Xie Fuyi suddenly wilted.

Xie Fu Yi looked at the guard, smiled, and bowed slightly.

"Master Xie, please." As soon as the guard stretched out his hand, he wanted to invite Xie Fu Yi inside.

"Young lady!" Full Moon hurriedly pulled Qi Yan's sleeve and urged, "Young lady, if you don't hurry up, Childe will go in......"

The little full moon was very anxious, but Qi Yan was very calm.

"Young lady, hurry up." The full moon is in a hurry, and the sweat is coming.

Qi Yan slowly stood up: "Okay, let's go." ”

As she spoke, she walked unhurriedly in the direction of Xie Fuyi.

"Stop." At this time, one stopped Qi Yan, "Didn't you say that?" Your Excellency, please go over there for tea. ”

The people who stopped Qi Yan regarded her as the people who surrounded Xie Fuyi just now.

Qi Yan said: "I can't get used to drinking tea over there. ”

When the other party heard this, his eyebrows furrowed: "You are toasting and not eating and drinking, right?" ”

As he spoke, the saber on his waist had already been drawn halfway, threatening Qi Yan clearly.

Qi Yan still had an unhurried attitude, plucked out his ears, and said lazily: "What, you want to do it with me?" ”

"If you don't know what's wrong, don't blame me for being rude!" As the guard spoke, the saber was drawn.

He made a move that alarmed many people.

Among them, there is Xie Fuyi who wants to enter the restaurant.

"Wait." Xie Fuyi saw that Qi Yan was threatened with a knife, and walked in front of her in two or three steps.

"Gongzi Xie." The guard who threatened Qi Yan wanted to explain, and said, "She ...... this person."

"She's my wife." Xie Fuyi said.

The guard was stunned.

Xie Fuyi looked at Qi Yan: "Why are you here now?" ”

Between his words and demeanor, he was not surprised at all by Qi Yan's arrival.

Qi Yan borrowed the slope to get off the donkey: "I came a long time ago, but you were surrounded by people just now, and I couldn't squeeze in." ”

"Here, let's go." Xie Fuyi smiled and took Qi Yan's hand.

Qi Yan didn't struggle, and obediently let Xie Fu Yi lead him.

…………

…………

The husband and wife walked into the private room of the restaurant, and the host was already prepared.

"Gongzi Xie, are you here?" Zhou Qian, who had white hair, stroked his beard and stood up with a smile.

Xie Fu Yi arched his hand: "See Lord Zhou." ”

"You don't have to be formal." Zhou Qian waved his hand, smiled kindly, and said, "Today is a reception banquet for you, and all of you here are friends. ”

After that, Zhou Qian introduced the people present to Xie Fuyi one by one.

Xie Fu Yi was at ease and greeted everyone present.

Qi Yan stood in front of Xie Fuyi with a smile on her face, her eyes had swept over everyone present, and more than once, she remained silent, looking for Doctor Zhang.

"Gongzi Xie, this last ......" Zhou Qian's gaze fell on the last young man.

Qi Yan also secretly looked at the young man.

Dressed in white, with a clear appearance, it seems that eight or nine are not far from ten, it should be......

"This is Lin Xu, who is in the cloth business, although he is not very old, he is young and promising, and Dongtai Buzhuang is his business."

Qi Yan: "......"

Isn't it Doctor Zhang? How did it become what Lin Xu?

Zhou Qian had already introduced everyone present, but none of them were Doctor Zhang.

Qi Yan Nahan, however, can't ask openly. Just when she was distracted, Xie Fuyi was already familiar with everyone in the re-audience.

"This is the insider." Xie Fuyi said, looking at Qi Yan who was distracted.

Qi Yan suddenly crashed into Xie Fuyi's eyes, slightly stunned.

"It turned out to be a young lady......"

Everyone present greeted Qi Yan.

Qi Yan looked down and responded with a smile.

"The young lady and Mr. Xie are so affectionate, let us be envious......"

"The two of you standing together, it's really made in heaven......"

“……”

And then there was a bunch of polite, broad and uninspired compliments.

The corners of Qi Yan's mouth were a little stiff when he smiled, but Xie Fu Yi was comfortable talking and laughing with the people around him.

Three rounds of drinking.

Qi Yan already wanted to leave the table, she looked at Xie Fu Yi beside her, and heard that he was still talking to Zhou Qian about business.

Zhou Qian was so enthusiastic about Xie Fuyi, and he also held a special reception banquet, not just for drinking.

Qi Yan listened for a long time, and also roughly understood what Zhou Qian meant, Zhou Qian wanted to make Youzhou's business bigger and make Youzhou richer, so Xie Fuyi, who was an imperial businessman, was particularly important.

Qi Yan had no interest in Xie Fuyi drinking and talking about business, she just wanted to go to Doctor Zhang, and since Doctor Zhang was not here, she didn't want to stay.

It's just that...... There is no suitable reason.

The reception banquet is not just a casual dinner at home, it is not that Qi Yan can leave the table if he wants to, the people sitting here are all people with heads and faces in Youzhou, as well as Zhou Qian, the current future minister of Youzhou, Qi Yan doesn't want to leave a bad impression on the other party.

How do you leave...... Qi Yan was thinking secretly in his heart while responding to the people around him.

"Fu Yi!" Zhou Qian's voice pulled back Qi Yan's distraction.

Qi Yan couldn't help but glance at Lord Zhou, so quickly changed from calling "Gongzi Xie" to "Fu Yi"?

"Lord Zhou, I'm just saying it casually...... I can't match you. Xie Fuyi replied with a smile.

Zhou Qian's chess addiction was committed, he laughed loudly, and said: "No matter what, in short, whatever you say, you have to play a game with me!" ”

Xie Fuyi still smiled and waved his hand, continued to shirk, and said: "Speaking of playing chess, in fact, my wife is also very good. ”

"Oh?" When Zhou Qian heard this, he looked at Qi Yan.

Qi Yan, who was originally listening on the side, didn't expect that she was pulled in, she smiled and said, "It's just a little bit of a skin." ”

"Young lady, don't be modest." Zhou Qian said, "I know that Fu Yi's chess is good, since he praises you well, then you must be good!" When we're done eating, we'll play the next game! ”、

"I ......" Qi Yan still wanted to shirk, but he didn't say anything, and looked at last week's earnest gaze...... The words that refused to shirk were swallowed by her.

When a chess idiot talks about playing chess, just like a person who has been hungry for several days sees a table of big fish and meat, Zhou Qian is full of interest, and Qi Yan really can't shirk it.

In the end, the meal was finished, the guests and hosts were happy, and Zhou Qian didn't care whether it was late or not, he had to play a game with Qi Yan.

Qi Yan followed Zhou Qian to the chess room, and whispered to Xie Fuyi beside him, "What do you mean?" ”

Xie Fuyi looked innocent: "What...... What do you mean? ”

"Why do you want me to play chess? You don't know my chess skills! ”

"Didn't you mention it casually?" Xie Fu Yi was even more innocent and said, "Who knew that Lord Zhou was so insistent." ”

Qi Yan: "......"

Xie Fuyi smiled and pressed Qi Yan's shoulder: "Don't worry, this is just a pleasant feeling, no matter whether you win or lose, don't take it seriously." ”

Qi Yan's eyebrows pressed his eyes fiercely, and he glanced at Xie Fu Yi dissatisfied.

She originally came for Doctor Zhang, but who knows, now she is being pulled by Zhou Qian to play chess, what is this!

…………

…………

Qi Yan and Zhou Qian's game, when they fell at first, they were a little distracted.

Xie Fu Yi coughed lightly and smiled at Qi Yan: "Don't be afraid, Lord Zhou is just playing chess with you, not to win or lose with you." ”

Qi Yan turned his head to look at Xie Fu Yi beside him.

Xie Fuyi smiled.

"Fu Yi is right, I just want to learn chess skills with others!" Zhou Qian said, the sunspot in his hand had already fallen.

Qi Yan took a deep breath, cheered himself up, and concentrated on the chess game in front of him,

Zhou Qian on the opposite side fell into the air, and it was Qi Yan's turn......

“……”

The game was very smooth at first, and Zhou Qian made a quick move, clean and neat.

Qi Yan doesn't care about winning or losing, and he doesn't drag his feet when he falls.

The time of a stick of incense has passed......

Qi Yan looked at the chess game in front of her, the weirdness in her heart became more and more serious, and she looked at Xie Fu Yi when Zhou Qian was thinking about it on the other side.

Xie Fuyi turned a deaf ear, as if he was also thinking, and stared at the chess game seriously.

Qi Yan's gaze was not answered, and he could only land his gaze on the chessboard again.

Zhou Qian, who was on the other side, pondered for a long time, and finally dropped the chess piece.

Qi Yan's pupils constricted, she stared at the place where it fell, and looked at Xie Fu Yi again.

This time it was no longer an inquiring and puzzled look, but a shocked surprise!

Why was Qi Yan surprised? Because the place where Zhou Qian fell on the opposite side was exactly the same as Xie Fuyi a few days ago, not only that, but the most shocking thing was that the chess game had become the chess game on the carriage outside at this time!

The chess game that trapped Zhou Qian!

Qi Yan had always had a strange feeling lingering in her heart when she was in the land before, and she couldn't say anything for a while, until the feeling became stronger and stronger......

Zhou Qian's style on the opposite side is almost exactly the same as Xie Fuyi.

Qi Yan learned to play chess, which was taught by Xie Fuyi, she didn't know what level she was, but she knew Xie Fuyi's chess path very well, and Zhou Qian and Xie Fuyi at this time almost coincided.

The chessboard in front of you is the "dilemma" on the carriage.

As for the way to solve the dilemma, Qi Yan is also clear, because Xie Fu Yi taught her!

For a while, Qi Yan's heart turned upside down, she looked at Xie Fuyi next to her, and then looked at the chess game in front of her......

Is this a coincidence?

Qi Yan pinched the chess pieces and slowly fell.

As expected, Zhou Qian on the opposite side fell into contemplation again, and after a cup of tea, the chess pieces in his hand fell.

The position is exactly the same as Xie Fuyi's previous position!

Qi Yan almost didn't have to think about it to know where the chess pieces would land......

When she landed, Zhou Qian on the opposite side straightened his back suddenly, and the chess pieces in his hand made a crisp landing sound!

"Ahh I see! I see! Zhou Qian stood up excitedly as he spoke, he seemed to be so excited that he could only rely on walking back and forth and staring at the chessboard to make himself look less crazy!

"I see!" Zhou Qian arched his hand, bowed, and saluted Qi Yan, "Young Mrs. Xie!" Teachable! It's teachable! You've solved one of my heart problems! Thank you! Thank you! ”

Where could Qi Yan afford such a big gift from Zhou Qianxing, he hurriedly stood up and said, "Lord Zhou, it's just a game of chess, you are being treated like this." ”

"Young Mrs. Xie, you have really helped me a lot!" The gratitude and excitement in Zhou Qian's eyes were genuine.

Qi Yan was in a complicated mood and glanced at Xie Fuyi beside him.

Xie Fu Yi smiled at her, looking like he was just happy for Qi Yan, and he couldn't see anything else.

Zhou Qian was still excited, and he didn't recover for a long time, he said to Qi Yan: "I Zhou said that if anyone can solve my chess game, I will definitely treat him as a benefactor!" Mrs. Xie, you go first to solve my chess game, if there is anything in the future, as long as I am within my ability, you can speak! ”

Qi Yan was still very happy to get Zhou Qian's promise, but ......

She looked at Xie Fu Yi again.

It doesn't just happen.

…………

…………

Qi Yan was sent out of the restaurant by Zhou Qian, and the current Zhou Governor's Mansion, the future Prime Minister, waved at Qi Yan.

Until he got into the carriage, Qi Yandi still had a sense of unreality in the clouds.

"Are you happy?" Xie Fuyi on the other side asked.

Qi Yan paused, and then came back to his senses.

"Did you arrange this?" Qi Yan asked.

"I arranged it?" Xie Fuyi looked left and right, and looked confused and looked real, "What did I arrange?" ”

"Today's chess game."

Xie Fuyi said: "You play chess with Governor Zhou?" ”

"Or else?"

"Why do you think I arranged it?" Xie Fuyi was a little crying and laughing.

"You teach me to play chess...... Qi Yan paused, and continued, "The chess path is exactly the dilemma of Lord Zhou, and the reason why I can win today is because you have been deliberately training me to play chess like this, just to win Lord Zhou!" ”

Xie Fu Yi didn't answer, but asked rhetorically: "Why did I let you win Lord Zhou?" ”

Qi Yan was stunned.

Yes, after winning Zhou Qian, the person Zhou Qian thanked was her...... It has nothing to do with Xie Fuyi.

"And." Xie Fuyi said again, "Today, I didn't expect you to come." ”

Qi Yan was speechless, and there was no way to refute Xie Fu Yi for a while.

"Last question......" Xie Fuyi said, "why are you here today?" ”

This time, Qi Yan was asked.

She coughed dryly: "I happened to be passing by." ”

"Passing by?"

"Yes." Qi Yan's heart was crossed, she had already thought about it before, so she simply tried her best to find reasons and excuses, it was better to just be perfunctory!

If Xie Fuyi wants to know, let him check it.

"Okay." Xie Fuyi sighed, and when he faced Qi Yan, he would always be helpless to take care of him, "You say it's passing by, it's passing by." ”

Xie Fuyi didn't pursue the question of Qi Yan's "coming to the restaurant", but Qi Yan didn't let go of the chess game with Zhou Qian just now.

She didn't believe it was a coincidence at all.
