Xu Dashi took out the chess.

Aunt Feng's husband and wife watched the bird chess, and listened to how to play, they all laughed, and thought it was beautiful and fun, not to mention their own girls, as long as they were little ladies, they would like it.

Xu Shi mentioned a few more words to the brother and sister.

Xu Lanzhou said with a smile, "Thank you for your cousin's reminder, a pair of chess, we don't dare to embarrass our uncle." It's just that I heard that the Min family was collecting things from the little lady everywhere, so I thought that this kind of chess might be able to get into her eyes. As long as Miss Min likes the chess we offer, even if we are orphans and widows, no one dares to bully us. ”

It turned out that the orphans and widows were afraid of being bullied and wanted to have a relationship with the county master's family, which is understandable.

Aunt Feng smiled, "I'm not very old, but I still know the height of my eyebrows." Let's go, I'll take you to Steward Tang. If this chess really enters the blue eyes of the big girl of Min, if someone dares to bully you in the future, Steward Tang will also help to speak. He said knowingly, "Don't look at Steward Tang as a subordinate, he has more face than the master in front of the county master, and he is the so-called seven-rank official in front of the prime minister." ”

Xu Dashi smiled and complimented Uncle Feng on being well-informed.

Xu Lanyin followed him out of the door.

After crossing the back street, I went directly to the west corner gate in the backyard of the county government. The front is the place where the county government office is located, the backyard is where the family lives, and the west corner gate is where the people enter and exit. Aunt Feng whispered a few words to the gatekeeper, and a few people entered the door, it was a small courtyard, and several of the housekeepers were working here.

Steward Tang happened to be absent, and the little guy said that he had gone to see the uncle.

Aunt Feng's heart was overjoyed. He didn't dare to see Uncle Min when he had nothing to do, this was his chance to show his face. smiled, "You guys wait here, I'll take the chess directly to Uncle Min to see." These days, the uncle has also been looking for things for the eldest girl, if he is interested, your benefits are indispensable. ”

Xu Dashi and the others hurriedly thanked them again, and watched Aunt Feng leave with the package containing chess.

More than a quarter of an hour later, Aunt Feng ran back with a red face and said with a smile, "Let's go, Uncle Min likes that chess game very much, and he wants to see you." ”

A few people followed Aunt Feng to the east, and after a moon gate, it opened up. Shaded by beautiful trees, the courtyard is deep. After another three months, I came to a quiet courtyard.

Entering a side room, there was a young man of about twenty years old, who looked white and clean. He was fiddling with birds on the table, smiling brightly. Behind him stood a small servant, and next to him stood a lean man in his forties.

Xu Lanyin and a few people went in to greet Uncle Min Shan.

Minshan was a talent in the middle of the year before last, and Minxian Ling felt that he was not ready to take the exam, so he had been studying at home and taking care of some general affairs.

Min Shan raised his head and asked, "Where did you buy this chess?" This is the first time I have seen it. He said to Steward Tang again, "Now that you know the place, go buy two more pairs." ”

Xu Lanzhou said with a smile, "Uncle Min, this chess piece was made by my sister and I by ourselves, and it was not sold elsewhere." He didn't dare to say that his sister came up with it alone.

Min Shan's eyebrows raised, and he looked extremely surprised, "You guys came up with it yourself?" ”

He didn't believe it. How can it be!

Xu Lanyin said with a smile, "It's true, I don't dare to deceive Uncle Min, this is what we came up with on the basis of stone chess." My brother and I are not very good at drawing, so we only write words on the chess pieces. If you draw various birds directly on the chess pieces, it is more intuitive and beautiful. Also, if the chess pieces are made round, the color will be brighter, and it will be more beautiful. ”

Min Shan looked down at the chess and said with a smile, "This is true." ”

He asked Xu Lanzhou to go over and play a game with him, and laughed, "It's so fun, my little sister will definitely like it." ”

The soup housekeeper on the side followed the goatee and asked, "Little brother of the Xu family, have you ever given this chess to others?" ”

Xu Lanzhou hurriedly said, "No, we just made this chess yesterday, and we took it today." ”

Steward Tang smiled with a wrinkled face, and whispered a few words to Uncle Min, which means that his own shop can do this business, and let the Xu family sisters and brothers stop doing this kind of chess to others or selling it.

Min Shan shook his head. This chess can't make much money, others will do it when they see it, so why bother to grab this bit of wealth from the ordinary people. He whispered, "We can do it, and don't stop them." ”

Steward Tang nodded in agreement.

Min Shan said again, "Steward Tang will reward them with five taels of silver, it's almost noon, and then leave them for a meal." ”

Several members of the Xu family hurriedly bowed down to thank them. Xu Lanzhou and Xu Dashi thought that the Min family might reward some money, but they didn't expect to give so much. Xu Lanyin secretly regretted that this was an invention.

Min Shan got up with a chess piece and went to the backyard. Steward Tang led the Xu family and Aunt Feng back to the small courtyard where he was working, and took five small silver ingots of one tael and handed them to Xu Lanzhou.

Several members of the Xu family thanked them, and Xu Lanzhou took out a tael of silver and presented it.

Steward Tang waved his hand, he didn't look down on this amount of money, and asked Aunt Feng to take them to a guest room for dinner.

Xu Lanzhou took another ingot of silver and stuffed it into Aunt Feng's hand, but Aunt Feng humbly gave in and accepted it.

Aunt Feng's eyes were crooked with a smile, not only did he get a tael of silver today, but he also helped bring the bird chess into the mansion, and he earned enough face in front of Uncle Min and Steward Tang.

After a short effort, four dishes and one soup were served, and a small pot of white rice was served, one of which was a thick and bright braised pork.

And Min Shan hurriedly went to his sister Min Nan's yard.

Mrs. Min was also here, and the meal was already on the table next to the couch, and Mrs. Min persuaded her daughter to eat more.

Min Nan is 10 years old this year, and at the beginning of the month, he accidentally broke his left leg due to mischievousness. She is usually active, and these days she either stays in bed or stays on the couch, which is very uncomfortable.

Mrs. Min gave birth to two sons-in-law, and the concubine also gave birth to a concubine, and there was only one girl in the family. Min Nan looks very much like the beautiful Mrs. Min, with bright eyes and bright teeth, pretty and lovely, and is loved by all the parents, brothers and sisters-in-law in the family. Especially Lord Min, she is simply spoiled to the sky. It's a pity that there is a small black scar in the middle of the chin that affects the overall beauty.

Mrs. Min asked the girl to scoop a small bowl of bone broth and feed her, "Good girl, what to eat and what to supplement, drink more elbow soup, and your legs will be better faster." ”

Min Nan's small mouth was upturned, and he twisted his body and said, "Eat these all at once, and I want to vomit when I smell it." ”

Mrs. Min was so frightened that she hurriedly held her down, "Don't move, beware of hurting your legs." ”

Min Shan walked in quickly and said with a smile, "I have something fun, my sister must like it." ”

Min Nan's mouth curled higher, "Big brother says it's good every time he brings something, but none of them are really good." ”

Min Shan smiled, "This time is really good, my little sister will definitely like it." He also asked people to temporarily remove the food from the table and put the birds on the table.

He saw the curious eyes of the little sister as he wished, and said how to play, so he called the other two girls, and the four of them played a game.
