The fragrance of tea is curling, and the light mist is clear. The leaves in the small courtyard are flying, the cool breeze is light, and the casual words dissipate in the air, and there is no voice for the time being, only the chess pieces in the hands of the remaining girls are on the plate, which is extremely crisp.

The people in the courtyard looked at each other, and their eyes fell on her again.

The girl standing leisurely is closing the scroll with the foreshadowing, and placing the scroll in her hand on the stone table next to her at will, her long eyelashes are slightly drooping, her thin lips are slightly pursed, but her eyes are on the chessboard, her eyes are clean and indifferent, and it seems that her attention is not attracted by the side objects at all, but she is just paying attention to the chess game.

After a moment of silence, An Ting couldn't help but speak: "Xiu'er, you... Do you know what you're talking about? She stared at Gu Mingxiu tightly, and there was an inexplicable trace of strangeness in her heart, "You ..... what did you mean by what you just said?" ”

"Huh?" Gu Mingxiu responded, raised his eyes to look at An Ting, as if he had just come back to his senses, blinked his eyes, and his eyes were slightly confused, "Did I just say something?" ”

"You said you were going to kill him...."Anting swallowed and reminded her.

"yes." Gu Ming bowed his head and generously admitted, and before An Ting jumped up, he lowered his head again, pointed to a corner on the chessboard, and analyzed slowly, "I originally wanted to keep this place for a cover, I didn't want it to be a cover in the first place, why don't you break this chess piece and kill him off guard." ”

Anting: "......."

She looked at Gu Mingxiu in a bit of a daze, and her expression was suddenly a little indescribable: "Xiu'er, you... You're talking about chess, huh? Seeing that the other party nodded as a matter of course, An Ting suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and then became angry again, "Xiu'er, you are more serious!" We're still worried about you, why, how can you still be idle - oops! I'm so! ”

After admiring Anting's jumping feet for two seconds, Gu Mingxiu smiled and comforted her: "Cousin, don't worry, it won't be so serious after all." The third sister just reminded her with a few words, but Gu Qingyuan might not be able to do it, after all, where is there such a lax guard in the General's Mansion? ”

As soon as he heard the mention of the General's Mansion, An Ting naturally became proud instantly: "That's nature!" Our General's Mansion is the most powerful, that is, a sweeper on the road can hit a few feet! ”

Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Gu Mingxiu's smiling and silent appearance, and some complicated emotions surfaced in An Ting's heart.

Stamped his feet, An Ting coughed lightly: "What, I still have something, Xiu'er, little cousin, I'll go back first, and I'll come to play with you tomorrow!" But as if he was afraid of being stopped, he pulled out his feet and slipped out quickly.

Looking at the direction in which An Ting was leaving, Shen Qingqing looked back at Gu Mingxiu: "What's wrong with her suddenly?" ”

Qiao Wu squinted his eyes and pulled a bunch of grapes down: "I guess, she must have gone to sue." After all, Miss Gu is too careless, she must be attentive to Miss Gu. Saying that, after eating a few pieces, Qiao Wu glanced at Gu Mingxiu, "Run faster, so as not to be seen by you and stop her, but I guess, you already know." ”

The corners of his lips hooked a little smile, Gu Mingxiu picked up the pen, spread out the rice paper and replied seriously.

Gu Liyi glared, a little nervous: "Then, what should I do?!" Sister Xiu, are we going to stop it-"

Immediately laughed at Gu Liyi's words, Qiao looked at her with no joy: "Hey, I said you two sisters, it's too weird?" Someone wants to kill your sister, and you are not only not afraid, but you are afraid that someone else will prevent you from being killed? ”

Gu Mingxiu, who had already finished writing a reply, foreshadowed it, and quietly waited for the ink to dry before instructing Mozhu: "Tell Agarwood to send the letter back, don't delay." ”

Mo Zhu blessed his body: "Yes." ”

"It's okay, wait until she goes tell her grandfather about them." Gu Mingxiu looked back and saw Gu Liyi's worried appearance, and couldn't help but smile slightly, "There have been a lot of changes recently, and I can't take care of Gu Qingyuan for the time being, besides, the third sister and Ah Jing are still in the Gu Mansion, and we need to wait a few more days." ”

"Gu Qingyuan can't bear his temper, his grandfather will let him endure it." Gu Mingxiu's tone was cold, with a hint of imperceptible killing intent, "When the third sister of Dao and Ah Jing left the Gu Mansion, he wanted to stay, but I may not be willing to let him go." ”

Gu Liyi just wanted to ask what the change was, Qiao Wu raised his eyelids and glanced at her with a smile: "You have too many calculations, and more and more people are involved, but you are not afraid of the enemy getting more and more?" ”

"I don't hurt anyone, but people don't necessarily come to hurt me." Gu Mingxiu replied to him casually, the two of them collided, Gu Mingxiu smiled slightly, and there was a deep meaning in his tone, "Besides, it's just a report and a report, isn't it?" ”

Joe replied to everything.

Shen Qingqing noticed a little strangeness, but he couldn't express it, so he simply got up and pulled Gu Mingxiu and said, "You have been watching it for a long time, can you solve this chess game?" She looked left and right for a long time, and said with a smile, "You always say that you want to change it, so how to change it, how to solve it, but you don't tell me?" ”

Gu Mingxiu groaned: "Abandon the son to make a game." ”

Shen Qingqing was slightly stunned, and subconsciously looked at the chessboard in front of him.

……..

The Shen family soon chose a place in Yilan Garden to set up a chess club, in order to choose a son-in-law for Shen Qingqing. Governor Shen has long said that as long as he solves the sixteen games of chess set up by Shen Qingqing, as long as he is not a great evil person and does not have a wife or concubine in the family, he can marry the Shen family regardless of whether he is born rich or not.

The news spread quickly, and within half a day of the opening of Yilan Garden, the chess club had already gathered a full house.

There was once a Gu Changge in Yangzhou who was very talented, but he also had the limelight of others. Shen Qingqing's family background is good, although she has a reputation for being lonely and arrogant, she looks like a first-class beauty. Moreover, Shen Qingqing is very protective of his confidants and friends, and after contacting the fourth miss of the Gu family several times, he has seen the friendship between the two, and the limelight of the Shen family has also been pushed to the top for a while.

Of course, Shen Qingqing naturally didn't know this.

The sixteen endgames were placed vertically on the chessboard and circled around the lobby. Everyone gathered in the hall, staring closely at the chess game and thinking about it, the first six games were the most people, after the seventh game, there were about ten people gathered, and after the tenth game, there was no one.

After glancing at the crowded appearance of the people below through the bamboo curtain, Shen Qingqing snorted: "Look, if this is a chess game, I want to try them one by one, where is the kung fu to drink tea with you here?" She glanced at it a few times, quite contemptuous, "It's ridiculous that even a defeated general dares to come to chess." ”

Ning Fei glanced at it, and couldn't help but smile: "This, it shows that Qingqing has a lot of admirers, if it were me, I am afraid that there would be only ten people." ”

"Self-indulgence." Shen Qingqing frowned, glanced at Gu Mingxiu, who was smiling and silent, and asked, "You're not in a hurry at all, but your family is not in a hurry about your marriage?" She thought for a moment and said, "Now that you have returned to the General's Mansion, you are afraid of more relatives, so you should be careful." ”

Gu Mingxiu smiled and said nothing, and Ning Fei quipped: "Look, it's obvious that she is choosing a husband today, but she wants to talk about you." Ning Fei blinked, quite playful, "Isn't Qingqing Mo shy?" ”

Shen Qingqing chuckled, not caring at all: "I'm ashamed, I don't think anyone can break that chess game." ”

Ning Fei saw that she was full of confidence, and was a little speechless for a while: ".... Are you here to choose a husband, or are you here to embarrass others, it seems that you don't want anyone to solve that chess game at all. She shook her head, looked at Gu Mingxiu on the side, and said with a smile, "It's just that Mingxiu is not in good health, and she has always suffered in the past. ”

Pursing his lips and smiling lightly, Gu Mingxiu said: "If it is according to the Gu family, the second sister and the third sister have not yet been married. If it is according to the general's mansion, my cousin has not yet married, so why worry about me? She smiled slightly, "I'm not in a hurry at all, if I can accompany my mother for a lifetime, it's good not to marry." ”

"What are you talking about....." Before Shen Qingqing finished speaking, he was interrupted by the noise downstairs.

In the tenth game, a young man with a sharp beak stood next to the chessboard, pushing all the things on it to the ground. He glared at us, very displeased, and said loudly: "I see, it's just to take us!" This game of chess is a dead game, where can it be solved?! ”

"The Shen family is a big family in the end, but it's like this to make us happy?! Bah! ”

The man was full of anger, glaring at the Shen Mansion family members who came up around him, and shouted regardless of the big victory. There was a lot of discussion among the people below, and there were also helpers on the young man's side, but they all stopped the Shen family who came up to stop them.

Shen Qingqing sneered: "I don't know, this chess solution doesn't collect accounts and doesn't sign, so where can I make them happy, and come here to make trouble in the daytime?" She got up and said, "I'll go down and take a look, you two wait here." ”

After she finished speaking, she pushed the door downstairs with a cold face, Ning Fei couldn't help but get up worriedly when she saw this, and said softly: "Mingxiu, it's a little messy down there, just sit here, I'll come back with Qingqing in a while." ”

Gu Mingxiu put down the teacup and quietly watched them go out. She got up and walked to the window, carefully looking at the crowd downstairs through the bamboo curtain. Quietly swept around, Gu Mingxiu's gaze fell on one place, and he couldn't help frowning.

She turned around and pushed the door open.

He had just gone out, and for a moment a sense of foreboding expanded in his heart, and the killing intent rose from behind. She quickly ducked to the side, and felt something light on her head. The step on his hair was cut in half by the blade, and the crystal beads fell to the ground.

Gu Mingxiu leaned back, his back against the door.

She saw the scene in front of her clearly.

Three men in black stood in the doorway, each holding a long knife in their hands, glaring at her fiercely. The beads were scattered between her and the man in black, and one of them had not stopped rolling, and it rolled to the feet of one of the men in black. The man glanced down at the beads under his feet and sneered, "Offended, Miss Gu." ”

Gu Mingxiu looked at them for a long time, and suddenly spoke: "Is it the prince?" ”

The man in black paused, and the murderous intent burst out from his eyes.

He stepped on the bead and slashed with his sword—

Reading is exciting, reading is wonderful!
