Chapter Ninety-Four: Solving the Dead Chess
Hearing this, Fang Xiaoxiao was a little relieved. It seems that they should have come to the right place today, this Su Juren doesn't seem to be the kind of mercenary villain, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to say such a thing.
After taking two steps, she sat down at the stone table and carefully admired the chess game on the table. Although it is only halfway through, it is not difficult to see that the battle between black and white is very fierce, and it seems that it is an opponent. Judging from her previous experience, this is definitely not the strength that a beginner in a chess game should have.
"Is this a chess game between students?" Fang Xiaoxiao asked casually.
This kind of chess game is not the strength that a student should have. If the woman dared to say yes, it proved that Su Juren was also of bad character. As the old saying goes, if you have a mother, you must have a son!
If that were the case, there would be no need for them to wait here for anyone.
"It's not." Aunt Wen went in and made them a pot of tea just now, and now she walked out with a plate. Then she put the plate on the stone table and poured a cup of tea for Fang Xiaoxiao and the three of them one by one.
"The humble house is simple, and there is no good tea to entertain everyone. I hope the girls don't dislike it, please drink tea. Being treated so politely, Sanya and Liu Que'er were simply flattered. To be honest, for their status, they have never received such courtesy before.
Now they not only enjoy being treated with respect, but the other party is still an old woman with so many of herself. For a moment, the two of them had mixed feelings in their hearts. It's not, it's not either. The look of panic and anxiety is that at first glance, she is a little woman who has never seen any big scenes.
But Fang Xiaoxiao is completely different from them. I saw her take the tea and take a sip of it elegantly, such an elegant posture was full of deterrence. looked at Aunt Wen and was stunned.
In Aunt Wen's eyes, although the girl in front of her was wearing coarse linen clothes, she had an innate temperament. That kind of temperament can't be imitated by others anyway. And her tea-drinking movements are really good-looking, a hundred times better than anyone she has ever seen before. It doesn't seem to be any different from the lady in the palace.
Just as Aunt Wen observed the three of them, Fang Xiaoxiao had also been observing Aunt Wen. When she saw Aunt Wen seeing Sanya and Liu Qi'er showing a cramped and uneasy expression, her cloudy eyes did not reveal any unkindness or make Fang Xiaoxiao feel unsatisfied.
The face that has aged because of the passage of time, and even those eyes have a faint smile in them. The smile is gentle and peaceful, and it is very comfortable.
This eldest lady is Su Juren's mother-in-law. As the old saying goes, if there is a mother, there must be a son. Every word and deed of the mother indirectly affects the child, and when the mother is like this, the character of the son will naturally not be bad.
So because of this, even though he hadn't seen Su Juren at the moment, Fang Xiaoxiao had already developed a good impression of him.
"Aunt Wen, I remember that you just said that Su Juren is also teaching children the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting? That's why I saw that there were several chessboards here, and I thought it was a game of chess between the students! ”
Hearing this, Aunt Wen smiled, and then replied truthfully: "Speaking of which, the chess games of these other tables are indeed played by the students. But this game was the only one played by my son and his close friend. It's just that this chess game was half a month ago, when the two of them were fascinated and inseparable. So at this point, they froze, and after so many days, neither of them had thought of a way to defeat each other. So the game is over. ”
Fang Xiaoxiao stretched out her finger and just wanted to touch it, but saw Sanya tugging at the corner of her clothes, "Sister Xiaoxiao, we are new here, in someone else's house, don't touch other people's things!" Otherwise, it would be a bit too rude. ”
"Don't worry, Sanya, this Su Juren is not only a lifter, but also generous, I don't think he will take such a little thing to heart." After speaking, Fang Xiaoxiao raised his hand and held a black chess piece and put it in a position. Then the other hand raised a white piece and placed it in another position.
The two hands crossed back and forth, and after a game of chess had gone dozens of steps, they stopped.
"What's next? Isn't it a girl, and she doesn't know what to do, right? A suave voice came from the side.
Sanya and Liu Que'er realized that there was a man standing next to them. And this man doesn't know when he was standing here, how long he has been standing here...... The two of them were stunned like wood, and they didn't feel it at all.
The man was dressed in white and looked like he was in his early thirties. He wore his hair tied and bearded, and his square face looked very gentle, and he looked like a master.
Those eyes looked very similar to Aunt Wen, and there was a gentle and kind look between them. Although he has a hooked nose, he can't see anything unusual. As soon as he appeared, his eyes were staring at the chessboard tightly, dizzying, until Fang Xiaoxiao suddenly stopped moving, so he was a little anxious, and he couldn't help but speak out for a while.
In fact, he has been standing here for a long time.
"Sir said with a smile, of course I have a way to crack it. But whether it is left or right, it is always my own brain, my own thoughts. Even if the left hand or the right hand wins, what does it mean to me? I'll never be able to beat myself. So if it goes on like this, it will never come to fruition, so I think it's okay if this game of chess is not played. Fang smiled and said lightly, that expression was neither humble nor arrogant, which was moving.
"I wonder where the girl's chess skills came from?" The man in white was Su Juren, Su Runzhi, and looked at Fang Xiaoxiao with a very fiery gaze. At this moment, his eyes only have the supreme admiration and obsession for chess, and there is no other meaning at all, nor is it mixed with any impurities. With such a pair of upright eyes, it is difficult for people to be disgusted.
"If I tell Childe, I don't know how to play chess. Childe's letter, please? Fang Xiaoxiao stared at him motionlessly, deliberately teasing him.
"Nature is believed."
Su Juren still looked calm and composed, and his eyes were clear and not mixed with any impurities.
