Chapter 39: The Game
Holding the ginger soup is a pair of slender jade hands, behind the ginger soup is a beautiful face, a pair of big white eyes are staring at him at the moment: "Son, drink a bowl of ginger soup to warm your body." ”
The amiable and gentle voice is impossible to refuse.
Zhou Yan took the ginger soup, drank it all, and returned the bowl to the other party, and the maid behind the red-clothed girl hurriedly came up to take the bowl.
"Thank you, Miss." Zhou Yan made a big gesture, and listened to Xu Shaoye call him, "Ah Yan, let's go." ”
Zhou Yan raised his feet and followed Xu Shaoye in a little panic.
"Oh, miss, the slave and maid have said to let the slave and maid come, and see that your hands are all burned."
"Where's the heat? It's not hot at all. ”
"My hands are hot, and I still say it's not hot."
The complaint of the maid behind him and the soft voice of the woman in red came, Zhou Yan couldn't help but look back, and the woman in red also turned her head to look. The four eyes met, Ying Ying smiled, Zhou Yan was cramped, he tripped over something, and his body staggered, but fortunately, Xu Shaoye supported him.
"Ah Yan, what are you looking at, don't even look at the road under your feet?" Xu Shaoye complained.
"No, nothing." Zhou Yan hurriedly quickened his pace and walked side by side with him, the voice and smile of the red-clothed woman appeared in front of him for a while, he couldn't help but panic, and his feet tripped a few times.
Xu Shaoye said: "It seems that you are soaked in the water, I better find a place where you can sit and play without moving around." ”
Wen Yuanyi kept looking at the direction of Zhou Yan's departure until she couldn't see Zhou Yan's back, and she still had a spring smile on her face.
Zhang Ying stretched out her hand and shook it in front of her eyes before she came back to her senses.
"Oh, our Miss Wen seems to be moved by the heart of spring, why don't I go and arrest that scholar and present it to you." Zhang Ying joked, Wen Yuanyi glared at her, "Zhang Ying, don't talk nonsense." ”
"I'm talking nonsense, then what are you blushing about?"
"How can I blush?" Wen Yuanyi touched her hot cheeks and quibbled shyly.
"Yuanyi, Zhang Ying, what are you doing? Come and play on the swings. In the distance, five lively girls waved to them, and when Zhang Ying pulled Wen Yuanyi to join them, the clothes of the seven people happened to be red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple, and they looked as gorgeous as a rainbow from a distance.

In a large pavilion, King Qi was playing against Doctor Qing.
Doctor Qing was half defeated, and said to the king of Qi: "The king has superb chess skills, and the ministers are willing to bow to the wind." ”
King Qi pursed his lips and smiled: "Doctor Qing deliberately let Lonely." ”
"The king looks down on his ministers."
King Qi looked at the crowd watching the chess and asked, "Who can fight against Gu Zhen, instead of deliberately letting Gu go?" ”
King Qi's gaze fell on Wang Xiao's fitness: "Prince Wang, you come and fight Lone." ”
Wang Xiaojian didn't know how to play chess, but the king's order could not be violated, Wang Xiaojian had to sit in the position where Dr. Qing had sit, and the chess pieces on the chessboard were overturned and restarted, but soon King Qi felt bored, and it was not interesting to play chess with a master like Dr. Qing, because every step was in the opponent's calculations, and playing chess with a rookie like Wang Xiaojian was even more boring, and it was not an opponent at all.
Wang Xiaojian held the sunspot in his hand, and he couldn't fall on the chessboard for a long time, King Qi yawned, and the people watching the chess also frowned, Wang Xiaojian felt that the surrounding atmosphere was very unfriendly, and couldn't help but be anxious.
At this time, a young woman walked out of the crowd, she knelt down to King Qi Yingran, and pleaded: "The little woman knows a little chess, can she play a game with the king, and get the king to play on demand?" ”
When Wang Xiaojian heard this familiar voice, he forgot about his son and looked at the person kneeling on the ground, it was Li Yueshu.
What kind of limelight did she show on this occasion?
However, King Qi actually got it.
"Wang Gongzi, you are also tired, let your eldest sister-in-law continue the next chess game with Gu on your behalf." When King Qi spoke, Wang Xiaojian didn't dare not get up, just as he didn't dare not sit down.
The news of the young lady of the Wang family playing chess with the king of Qi soon spread in the courtyard of the Wang family, and many people rushed over to see the excitement.
When Xu Shaoye and Zhou Yan arrived, it was the most exciting time in the chess game, and King Qi was no longer sick and leaning crookedly, but sat up, and his spirit was better than at any time in the past.
Li Yueshu, holding the chess pieces in her hand, was full of energy.
The surrounding crowd of chess spectators also bowed their heads to Li Yueshu's chess game.
"I really didn't expect the young lady of the Wang family to be so superb in chess."
People whispered in admiration, and some people asked Dr. Qing: "I heard that the young lady of the Wang family is Mrs. Xu's niece?" ”
Doctor Qing did not deny it, and also admitted: "It's the niece of Uchiko's own family." ”
Listening to these voices, Wang Xiaojian's eyes also changed when he looked at Li Yueshu, in fact, his sister-in-law has always been a beauty, he only paid attention to her beauty, ignoring her talent, her talent is not only chess, but also proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Li Yueshu's qinqi, calligraphy and painting are naturally not learned in her mother's home, she is an orphan girl, her parents died, she grew up with her relatives, and naturally she can't drink the lives of other noble girls.
My sister-in-law has always been a smart woman.
Wang Xiaojian looked at Li Yueshu, who was playing against King Qi, and there was appreciation of the past in his eyes, and a smile appeared on his lips.
Li Yueshu's last son fell, and said with a coquettish smile: "King, the little girl won." ”
The crowd didn't dare to exclaim for a while, after all, even Doctor Qing didn't dare to win King Qi, and the young lady of the Wang family won King Qi like this, so that King Qi couldn't get off the stage, and I didn't know what King Qi would do with her.
King Qi was not displeased, but smiled warmly: "Reward." ”
On the side, the eunuch Feng Ji came out to standby, Li Yueshu had already gotten up and knelt on the ground, thanking King Longen, but King Qi said again: "What to reward you, I haven't thought of it for the time being." ”
What happened in the pavilion has been reported to Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Wang was in a complicated mood, and she was going to scold Li Yueshu for being in the limelight and not knowing whether she was alive or dead, but when she heard that King Qi was very happy and wanted to reward Li Yueshu, she couldn't scold her for anything, so she could only take Shen Changping's hand and say: "Ping'er, don't just serve in front of me, there are so many distinguished guests in the house, you go to entertain everyone, play with them, and you can also meet the king, so that the king can also see your goodness and reward you." ”
Shen Changping said: "But, mother, I don't know how to play chess. ”
"If you don't know how to play chess, you always have other talents." Mrs. Wang only urged Shen Changping to ask for a reward.
Shen Changping was silent in his heart, her talent is murder!
Shen Changping left Mrs. Wang, and led the maids to the garden, and Qin'er asked her, "Miss, what do you say, what will the king reward the young lady?" ”
What else could it be but gold and silver jewelry?
"You saved me, I want to reward you!" Vaguely, the sick child in the side hall of the palace said to her.
The woman in the armor asked with a smile, "What does Uncle Huang want to reward me?" ”
"I'm going to marry you!"
Shen Changping stopped suddenly, surrounded by ministers in front of him, and the miserable green young man who followed the eunuch next to him was none other than King Qi.
