The two returned to the courtyard and went to the chess room to watch the four brothers play against each other.

Li Congxin said that he wanted to help Gu Huanyi "take revenge", so he pulled Cui Jingxuan to play against him, and Cui Jingxuan lost so much that his face turned white.

"I haven't played against the second brother for a long time, and your chess skills have improved too fast, I really can't resist it, beg the second brother to let me go."

On the other side, Wu Lie played chess with Jin Ying, and Wu Lie smiled heartily: "I didn't expect that there would be a day when I won the fourth brother." ”

Jin Ying was obviously absent-minded, and only arched his hand and said, "It's the eldest brother who has improved." ”

Cui Jingxuan is the best at making trouble, he said: "Our four brothers know their chess skills well, and it's not interesting to play any further, why don't you invite my wife and Miss Gu to play a game, and let's watch it on the sidelines, how about it?" ”

Qiao Jingyun is everyone's best girl, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are not a problem.

Cui Jingxuan lost face at Li Congxin, so he wanted his daughter-in-law to help him get it back.

Gu Huanyi raised his eyebrows and said, "Cui Shizi is clearly going to bully people?" ”

Li Congxin smiled: "What are you afraid of." ”

Regarding Gu Huanyi's chess skills, Li Congxin knows in his heart, no matter how bad it is, he is still there.

Gu Huanyi and Li Congxin glanced at each other, and said, "Okay, come on!" ”

Although Gu Huanyi doesn't like to read, her chess skills are indeed good.

She controls the overall situation, plans before acting, and plays chess routines one by one.

Just over halfway through the chess game, Qiao Shi said to Cui Jingxuan with a bitter face: "I'm afraid I'm going to admit defeat." ”

Cui Jingxuan didn't believe in evil, and said on the side: "Don't panic, don't panic, let me take a look!" ”

Li Congxin said with a smile: "Watching chess is silent, a true gentleman." ”

Cui Jingxuan retorted: "This is called husband and wife concentric!" ”

Gu Huanyi held his chin and smiled: "Okay, then change Cui Shizi to convince you." ”

The house was playing lively, and Mama Miao suddenly ran over in a hurry, and whispered in Gu Huanyi's ear: "Miss Xiangjun secretly took a few young ladies out to play, I don't know where she went, the eldest lady was very anxious, and sent someone to ask if she was here." ”

Gu Huanyi's face sank slightly, and he took Mama Miao out to talk.

"You first appease the person who is questioning, and let Steward Song Ping go to the Qilin Club to find someone. If they find them, they bring them back to me, and my aunt and uncle say that I will leave them to play at home. If you don't find it, you will quickly send someone to help the Song family find it together. ”

Mama Miao got the order and hurried to arrange it.

Butler Song Ping went to the Qilin Club to take a look, and sure enough, Song Xiangjun took several sisters from the Xu family and the Liu family to cheer for Feng Huajun.

They were invited back by Song Ping, and Gu Huanyi met Song Xiangjun alone in an inn.

She dared to run out to play today because she knew that Jiang took a few wives to the City God Temple to visit the market, but Song Xiangjun didn't expect her mother to go home early.

She heard about it on the way to Gu's house, and she was so frightened that she couldn't do it, and when she saw Gu Huanyi, she begged: "Cousin, help us, just tell my mother that I am a guest at your house today, okay?" ”

Gu Huanyi collapsed his face and said: "You are so bold, I didn't know that I would be at home, so I took the guests out of the house secretly, I heard Song Ping say, you didn't even bring a girl, how to explain if something happened?" ”

Song Xiangjun pulled his handkerchief and said: "The subordinates don't say anything, as soon as my mother loses her temper, they will recruit everything, how dare I take ......"

Gu Huanyi had a little headache, and Song Xiangjun clearly didn't know anything wrong.

Gu Huanyi said solemnly with her: "If you just like quyi and advocate music and etiquette, I won't stop you, and it doesn't matter if you cover up a thing or two." But you obviously have other thoughts about Feng Huajun, how dare I connive? ”

Song Xiangjun was poked by her and bowed her head embarrassedly, but thinking that only Gu Huanyi could help her, she simply said: "Feng Huajun is extremely talented, another talent, it is normal for me to admire him, why not?" ”

Gu Huanyi said: "Feng Huajun is quite famous, and many dignitaries praise him, but this is just the appearance, he is just a servant after all. Since you were a child, you should know that the status of a servant is no different from that of a prostitute, and that your heirs are not allowed to study and enter the ranks, and you are not allowed to sit at the same table with us, so how can your family agree to you being together? ”

At the beginning, in order not to hinder his brother's career, Feng Huajun refused to let outsiders know about their relationship, which shows that he knows very well what his identity is.

Song Xiangjun said unconvinced: "The heirs can't study, we can teach ourselves, and we will never let the children become white dings, maybe it is better than what is taught in the academy." It doesn't matter if you can't get in, our family is in business, and we don't pay attention to any three religions and nine streams in the business field, and there are not so many rules. ”

She's thinking pretty well!

Gu Huanyi sighed, he never expected that Song Xiangjun would not take etiquette and the eyes of the world to heart so much for the sake of Fenghua.

Gu Huanyi tried to persuade: "If it's just your business, then it's fine!" The Song family has always been a long-term house, the second room is in charge of family affairs, and the rest of the houses are in charge of business. You are the young lady of the Song family's room, you don't care about etiquette, what about your brother? ”

Although the Song family is not mainly engaged in politics, it cannot be without a little officialdom.

Song Xiangjun's elder brother Song Jinjun is preparing for the imperial examination, and he is the heir who has been selected by the family a long time ago, and it is all up to him to inherit the official career.

Song Xiangjun was a little depressed and said: "The rules are dead, people are alive, can't they be changed?" Besides, I am me, he is him, what does I have to do with him after I marry......"

It's a little selfish for her to think like this.

Gu Huanyi shook his head secretly, not wanting to say any more.

Song Xiangjun looked enchanted, it was useless to say anything now, not to mention that it must be her unrequited love now, Feng Hua listened to Gu Huanyi's reminder, and would not dare to have any thoughts about Song Xiangjun.

Let's talk about it when she's emotionally frustrated......

"Today, because there are sisters from the Liu family and the Xu family with you, I will help you fulfill the lie, so that they will not be scolded with you, but there will never be a next time."

Song Xiangjun was immediately happy and said, "Great, I knew my cousin would help me!" ”

Because Li Congxin and other foreign men were still guests at home, Gu Huanyi didn't want to bring these young ladies over, so he set up a separate table and ordered Song An and Miao Mama to take care of them to eat at home.

Song Xiangjun suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly grabbed Gu Huanyi, who was about to leave, and said: "That's right, that's right, I met Xianwang Shizi and Fang Yurong in the Qilin Club today, their wing room is next door to me, although I don't know what they said, but it should be a quarrel, and the cups and cups were smashed to the ground, making a lot of noise." ”

Gu Huanyi was a little surprised, so he asked Xingyun to go to the Qilin Club to ask about this matter clearly.

Before dinner, Xingyun came back and reported separately: "The prince of Xianwang and Fang Yurong said it alone, and I don't know what they talked about, but when Feng Huajun went to say hello to Li Chengxu, he heard him say to the people around him, 'I have to dig three feet into the ground and find out the people for me', he should be asking Fang Yurong who he wants." ”

Gu Huanyi understood.

It is estimated that Li Chengxu also noticed that Lin Youhai had entered Beijing, and he had a disagreement with Fang Yurong on this matter.
