The wooden window is half-hidden, and the snow color is translucent, reflecting Gu Mingxiu's half of the small face. She shrunk into a soft velvet cloak, her long eyelashes drooped slightly, and she stared intently at the chess game on the table, with a bit of a quiet atmosphere flowing from her eyes.

Smoke came out of the tea, and the green smoke was carried away by the wind. Mo Zhu stepped forward with tea and food, and respectfully placed it on another small table. The maid wanted to help her young lady into her seat, but when she looked up at her young lady, she stared at the girl playing chess without blinking, and she knew a little in her heart, and quietly took a few steps back.

Gu Mingxiu didn't seem to notice that someone was standing beside him, and he was still half-twisting his eyes with white eyes. After a moment of silence, her long eyelashes suddenly lifted, her gaze fell on one place, and then she fell lightly.

"It's a dead end." The young lady standing couldn't help but speak, she frowned at Gu Mingxiu's chess move, shook her head and said, "You didn't take the right step." ”

Gu Mingxiu was not angry, but smiled slightly: "According to what you said, this is really a dead end?" ”

Without waiting for the young lady to answer, she took out the sunspot and walked two more ways. When Bai Zi fell, the young lady's expression suddenly turned surprised, she took a closer look at the chess path, and was very shocked: "If you push it down again, this chess game will be alive...." ”

"If you have nothing to do, you just mess around at will." Gu Mingxiu said.

The young lady looked at Gu Mingxiu, a little doubt flashed in her eyes, she sat down opposite Gu Mingxiu after a moment of silence, and said with a faint smile: "It's boring to play a game alone, it's not as good as me, how about it?" ”

Gu Mingxiu smiled: "It's very good." ”

Staring at the slightly raised corners of the young lady's lips in front of her, the smile in Gu Mingxiu's eyes was a little meaningful.

She actually recognized who the official lady in front of her was.

Shen Qingqing, the eldest daughter of the governor's family.

In her last life, she had a two-sided relationship with this Miss Shen.

The first time they met was at the banquet, Gu Changge was in the limelight, only Miss Shen disdained to be in the same stream, but frowned when she saw her being excluded, reminding her that she and Gu Changge were not all the way.

When she said goodbye, she was married to that person, and the nobles in Beijing laughed at her flying on the branches and becoming a phoenix, but it was still the Miss Shen family who pulled her in ridicule, bluntly saying that the person was not a good person.

Later, she heard that Governor Shen's official luck was not good, and Miss Shen prayed for her to encounter bandits on the way. Although she was rescued safely by the officers and soldiers, her name was lost, her fiancé's family disliked her and quit her family, and Miss Shen hanged herself in the room with a white silk.

The woman in the palace passed a few words and used them as a pastime to joke. On the contrary, she felt full of sadness, and she was bound by fame and fortune all her life, Shen Qingqing was, and so did she.

But this is a later story, and in her first life, she doesn't know how this Miss Shen will live.

Now, however, she needs to borrow Miss Shen to play this first move. There are various circles among the nobles in Beijing, and they usually have to hand over posts to get together and talk and laugh.

Although Shen Qingqing is arrogant in the circle, he is even more convincing because of this. If the same words are said by others, they may not be true, but if they are Shen Qingqing, the meaning is very different.

Shen Qingqing likes chess, learned from a famous family, and is known as "the first chess in Yangzhou". Back then, she was married to someone, and it was also because she lost to that person in a game of chess, so she was her fiancé.

Although Shen Qingqing's talent in Yangzhou is not as famous as Gu Changge, her status is beyond Gu Changge's reach.

Gu Mingxiu is now going to borrow Shen Qingqing's hand to prepare for returning to Yangzhou and give her sister a meeting gift.

"Yangzhou Talented Girl"?

"A must in Yangzhou"?

Gu Mingxiu raised the corners of her lips silently, and a little cold emotion appeared in her eyes. She calmly dropped a son, her long eyelashes half-drooping to hide the indifference at the bottom of her eyes.

Gu Changge, in the previous life, you regarded me as mud and a stepping stone for you to ascend to glory. Now in your first life, you will taste for yourself what it feels like to be muddy, and you will taste the pain of falling from a great height.

Gu Mingxiu's face was not revealing landscapes, and his demeanor was shallow, but his chess moves became more and more aggressive.

Shen Qingqing twisted his son for a long time, was silent, and only after a long time did he put down the chess pieces, straightened up and said, "I lost." ”

"I don't believe that it was your chess, after all, you look like a little girl who has not yet reached the end of the game," Shen Qingqing looked at her and smiled again, and his expression lost his original arrogance, "Now I am really convinced of you." ”

She didn't have any scruples when she spoke, Gu Mingxiu didn't care, and said with a smile: "The bamboo shadow outside the window is very beautiful, and it looks like a chess move on rice paper." I ponder alone when I have nothing to do on weekdays, and it is also very interesting to be able to play against others today. ”

"Don't say anything modest, your chess skills are indeed much better than mine." Shen Qingqing frowned, and then followed Gu Mingxiu's gaze to look at the bamboo shadow outside, and a little surprise flashed in his eyes, "I didn't even notice it, it's really good-looking." She pondered for a moment and said with a smile, "Compared to the chrysanthemums that those young ladies specially raised, this place is very beautiful." ”

Gu Mingxiu didn't say anything with a smile, just lowered his eyes and meditated.

"I've heard the name of Chongming Temple, and Master Hui'an, but I've never seen it, so I feel like I'm just a person with a false name, have you seen that master?" Shen Qingqing saw that she didn't say much, so he asked her again.

Gu Mingxiu pursed her lips and smiled: "You're right, that's indeed a false name." ”

Mo Zhu's face changed when he said this, and he looked at his young lady a little anxiously.

They had seen that master, and they were kind and kind-eyed, and they did have a bit of immortal spirit. The master's reputation is outside, and the young lady has been recuperating in Chongming Temple for so long, if this word spreads, her young lady may be accused of being a barbaric person and tarnishing the master's name.

Then Gu Mingxiu had already taken it slowly: "Master Hui'an is a person who cultivates meditation, how can he care about these blessings and reputations." He looked down on the floating life in the red dust, but he was also a person who had a Buddha in his heart. ”

She has a Buddha in her heart, so she will teach those wicked people to repay cause and effect with the heart of a Buddha.

Gu Mingxiu smiled coldly in her heart.

The Buddha sat on the lotus platform and saw the suffering of everyone, that is, when he saw the suffering of everyone, he could feel compassion? There is a theory of reincarnation in the world, and there is also a law of cause and effect. The cause and effect of the previous life are all paid today.

Shen Qingqing turned his head to look at her, and nodded approvingly: "What you said means a little, I haven't heard her say it, and when I heard you say that today, I want to see that master." ”

"Don't look at fate. If you are lucky, you will be able to meet that master one day. Gu Mingxiu said with a smile, she slowly picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip gently.

Her eyebrows seemed to blur between the heat of the tea, and the warm tea moistened her lips into a light red, which looked quite bright and moving.

Shen Qingqing was slightly stunned and said seriously: "You are a beauty." ”

She hadn't looked at Gu Mingxiu seriously before, but now she took a serious look at it. Her tone was full of seriousness, as if she had really thought it through. When Mo Zhu Mulan and the maid heard this, they were a little speechless. The maid's eyes were a little embarrassed, and Mo Zhu and the two looked at each other and were a little speechless.

was suddenly praised by an unknown woman for being good-looking, Gu Mingxiu was not half different. She poured two cups of tea, pushed one of them towards Shen Qingqing, and then smiled slightly.

Shen Qingqing pursed her lips and said, "Have you ever heard Yangzhou's unique Gu Changge?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Mozhu Mulan was stunned, and they looked at each other in surprise.

Shen Qingqing didn't notice this, she took a sip of tea and said to herself: "Everyone in Yangzhou says that she is a beauty, I have seen it a few times, beauty is beautiful, but she is a femme fatale." She sneered, and said it very politely, "With her sister, they are all pretending to be high-minded and coy, and I feel bored every time I see them." ”

"Miss!" The maid was in a hurry, and as soon as the words came out, she was glared at by Shen Qingqing.

"What's your name, what's there to be afraid of." Shen Qingqing pursed her lips and snorted coldly, "Since she dares to pretend, why don't I dare to say it." ”

The maid's face was pale, she silently shut up, and secretly glanced at Mo Zhu and them.

"But now that I look at you, you're ten times more beautiful than her." Shen Qingqing didn't care at all, and turned her head to look at her, "You don't pretentious, I'm comfortable when I look at it." ”

Mu Lan laughed out loud with a "poof", and when she saw a few people, she immediately stuck out her tongue and put away her laughter, but she didn't dare to say more. Mo Zhu glanced at her, but she also felt a little funny in her heart: every time she heard praise for Gu Changge, she felt uncomfortable in her heart. I didn't expect that there was such a frank and straightforward person in Yangzhou, and I felt a little more fond of the young lady in front of me for a while.

"Again?" Gu Mingxiu didn't answer, just set up the chessboard, spread out her palms, and asked her with a smile.

"It's better to be respectful than to obey."

When the carriage was repaired and everything was in order, the little servant came to respectfully invite someone. In the room, Gu Mingxiu and Shen Qingqing happened to end another game, Shen Qingqing rubbed the corners of his forehead, and let the maid come up to support him. She stood up and looked at Gu Mingxiu, and said, "I am Shen Qingqing, a member of the Shen family, the governor of Yangzhou. ”

Mo Zhu Mulan was taken aback, and subconsciously looked at Shen Qingqing.

Gu Mingxiu blinked her eyes and stared at Shen Qingqing, and shook her head with a smile: "Miss Shen, meeting on a snowy day can be regarded as a kind of fate, if there is a fate, we will naturally meet again." ”

Shen Qingqing originally thought that she would be taken aback when she heard her identity. But when she took a closer look, she could only see Gu Mingxiu's calm and indifferent expression, and she knew a little bit in her heart. Now that I heard her call herself Miss Shen instead of Miss Shen, she knew that she only knew the girl who was just talking chess, and did not involve the governor of the Shen family.

She nodded, "We'll see you again." ”

After that, they were helped out by the maid, and Mozhu went to guide them. Seeing Shen Qingqing leaving, Mu Lan's expression was anxious, and she opened her mouth to say something, but she couldn't hold back. She glanced back at Gu Mingxiu, who was careless, and was very anxious but didn't dare to say anything.

She was still anxious that Gu Mingxiu was far away in Chongming Temple, and she didn't have any friends in Yangzhou, even if she returned to Yangzhou in the future, she didn't have many friends to make friends with. Now that she has the opportunity to get acquainted with the governor of the Shen family, such a good opportunity was pushed by the young lady, how can she not be in a hurry.

"Miss....." When the figures of several people were gone, Mu Lan stomped her feet and looked at Gu Mingxiu anxiously.

"Mulan, I'm sleepy, let's go back." Gu Mingxiu casually dropped the white child in his hand on the chessboard, and looked up at Mu Lan, with a faint tiredness between his eyebrows.

Seeing this, Mu Lan didn't want to say much, called someone to pack up her belongings, and hurriedly stepped forward to embroider and tighten her cloak for Gu Ming.

Gu Mingxiu hung her long eyelashes, the corners of her lips rose slightly, and she smiled a little carelessly.

Naturally, she knew what Muran was thinking.

But what's the hurry? She thought. If she doesn't tell Shen Qingqing who she is, will Shen Qingqing really wait for the next goodbye.

The young lady of the Shen family is very "well-behaved".

As Gu Mingxiu said, in the carriage that went away, Shen Qingqing lifted the curtain and glanced back in the direction of the Bamboo Blue Pavilion, and ordered the maid beside him: "Go and find out who that girl is." ”

"Yes." The maid replied.
