Twenty-six: Playing chess
The two games of chess were ugly, but they attracted the attention of the people next to them.
Liu Lingtong has always been known for being a talented girl Mingxiu outside, and she naturally understands how to play chess, and when she saw He Nianning so ugly, she couldn't help laughing, "Miss Nianning, I don't know this, I still think you deliberately lost to her, so I can't see such a big mistake." ”
He Nianning doesn't like Liu Lingtong, outsiders don't understand, but those who know the inside story know how Liu Lingtong is, to put it bluntly, it is a white lotus, and there is nothing to be angry about.
"The difference between this remark is that I don't know how to play chess, and Sister Qian'er is a middle and high master, so I naturally can't play against Sister Qian'er." He Nianning picked up the sunspots on the chessboard, "Miss Xuantong is full of confidence, why do you want to ridicule me here?" ”
Liu Lingtong was not to be outdone, "There are many chess masters in the capital, but I haven't heard of the name of the Qian'er girl, so who is this Qian'er girl?" ”
"Sister Qian'er is Su Qianyao, the daughter of Cheng Su Yao in the imperial history." He Nianning replied.
Imperial History? A trace of disdain crossed Liu Yutong's eyes.
It's just a fifth-grade official, can she still have her sister-in-law's ability? In the imperial history, Cheng is responsible for troublesome things, and if you are not careful, you will make mistakes and affect the whole family, and the hope of promotion is also very slim, what can you do in the future?
With such a daughter, Liu Juetong is not afraid.
"It turned out to be the sister of the Su family." Liu Lingtong flattered her mouth, but sat in He Nianning's position, "I also know a little bit about chess, sister, I wonder if my sister can reward me with this face?" ”
With such flattery, the people around him gathered more and more, as if they had determined not to let Su Qianyao go.
Liu Lingtong plans to do so, her name as a dignified and talented woman still needs to be confirmed, so today is an opportunity, and her hard work for so long cannot be in vain.
Su Qianyao didn't like the crowd, and she didn't like to be so clingy to her, so she said in a low voice, "The girl doesn't know, I'm not in good health, I'm a little tired now, and I want to go back to the table to rest for a while." ”
"What's the point of the next set?" I don't know which woman next to me said, "Liu Juetong is a famous talented woman in the capital, aren't you afraid of her?" ”
"If you don't want to play, go down, occupy the position of the chess pavilion and don't play chess, can't you come to play together?"
The endless stream of voices around her were beating Su Qianyao, as if the chess pieces weighed a thousand pounds and she had to pick them up again.
Liu Lingtong wants this effect, she has superb chess skills, and the eldest princess of Jin Yi has found someone to teach her specially, but it is not a casual woman who can make her defeat.
He Nianning was a little angry and said, "What does it have to do with you?" Sister Qian'er is not in good health, and you can do it yourself if you have one more nonsense! ”
The He family is worthy of being born in a martial arts family, and as soon as these words came out, the girls who were usually flamboyant and eager to take off their chin and look at people stopped a lot.
Su Yunyao also felt inappropriate when she watched from the side, but this was not the place for her to speak, He Nianning was the concubine of the Hou Mansion and her waist was naturally hard, but her Su family was just a fifth-grade official, and it was a little inadequate compared to these celebrities in the capital in front of her.
After sighing lightly, Su Qianyao knew that today's game of chess was also played, and if it was not played, it was also played, so she pinched a white child and said, "Since this is the case, girl, please go first." ”
There was a moment of contempt on Liu Xuantong's eyebrows, and a sunspot fell in the center of the chessboard.
The game between the two was very exciting, and in a blink of an eye, there were few places on the chessboard, and Su Qianyao was a little uncomfortable in the middle, coughing twice, Liu Lingtong took advantage of the situation to kill her by surprise, and she fell behind as soon as she covered her mouth.
Relying on this method, even if he wins the chess game, it is not clever, Su Qianyao quickly adjusted his mentality, and landed the white son in his hand in a trap specially set by Liu Yutong.
Sure enough, seeing that she stepped into the trap, Liu Lingtong chuckled, and the tension disappeared in an instant, thinking, "This seems to be a powerful Su Qianyao." ’
When she lost another son, Su Qianyao also followed suit, and the victory and defeat were obviously opened.
Liu lost the game.
She paid full attention to the trap she had set, but she unknowingly fell into the trap set by Su Qianyao, and she didn't know that she had lost after a few unintentional ridicules.
Realizing that she was seriously filled with anger, and there was a sudden silence among the people around her, followed by a burst of talk.
"Why did Liu Xuantong lose? Isn't she a good chess player? ”
"I heard that her name as a talented woman is just an empty name, but I didn't expect it to be true."
"Does the Su family still have such a daughter? How come you've never seen her? But the Su Yunyao next to me I've seen twice. ”
"Su Qianyao's chess skills are really exquisite, don't look at Liu Xuantong is pressing step by step, in fact, I can't figure out when she lost."
This kind of discussion is endless, and Liu Juetong's face only feels hot, which is more uncomfortable than being slapped by others.
"I'm not in good health, I'll go down here today, the girl's chess skills are good, I just narrowly won." Su Qianyao said neither humbly nor arrogantly, and turned around to leave.
Su Yunyao and He Nianning hurriedly followed.
A man in the crowd walked quickly, following behind a few people, She Nianning could distinguish the footsteps behind him since she was a child, and turned around and said, "How long are you going to follow us!" ”
Sheng Changyu hurriedly stopped and explained, "I just saw that girl in the chess pavilion with excellent chess skills, so I wanted to ask her for advice, but the girls left in a hurry, and I didn't know how to speak for a while. ”
He Nianning looked at him, although the two knew each other but were not familiar with each other, he was the sister-in-law of the county lord's mansion, and the county lord of Shuyang had always been high and could not get along with others, so Sheng Changyu did not have many friends around him.
Su Qianyao also looked at him seriously, his appearance was not bad, his first impression was a lady and gentleman, the weather was sunny today, he was wearing a light cyan robe, and there were some dark bamboo patterns on his chest and sleeves, which made him look gentle and elegant, and the jade pendant on his waist was engraved with a sheng character, which not only showed his origin, but also showed his identity.
"Childe has won the prize, today is just a narrow victory over Miss Liu, chess skills are not superb but just lucky."
Sheng Changyu saw her speak up, and first made a gesture, "Girl's words are inappropriate, I can see it clearly, there have been a few times when you deliberately exposed flaws to her, which made her survive to the current situation, if you didn't have the heart to let her, she would have lost to you as early as the double ten." ”
Su Qianyao is often bored in the house and doesn't often come out and walk, so it's rare to see people who are good at chess, but the man in front of her seems to have a lot of insights into chess, which makes her interested.
"If Childe thinks so, it's true."
"Then I wonder if Miss Su can play a game with me?"
Su Qianyao turned her head to look at Su Yunyao, saw her nodding and glanced at He Nianning again, He Nianning grabbed the corner of her sleeve and whispered, "He is Sheng Changyu, the son of the county lord of Shuyang, and his chess skills are not bad." ”
"In that case." Su Qianyao looked at Sheng Changyu with a smile, "Will you see you at the chess pavilion for a while, or will you wait for the prince at the He family's table?" ”
Although it is a little inappropriate for men and women to see each other, but in places where there are many people, especially where the elders are, there will be no gossip, Su Qianyao thought about it briefly and agreed to his request.
Even Su Yunyao was a little surprised, her fifth sister was good, but she was a little cold, she didn't go out often because of her poor health, and she was even more reluctant to socialize, what happened today?
Qin Manhuai chatted with the Gao family too much, and remembered that the girls he brought were gone, leaving only Su Qingyao and Su Jinyao eating fruit and saying a few words from time to time, but Su Yunyao and Su Qianyao were gone.
Gao said with a smile, "Ning'er is a naughty child, I don't know where to take the two girls to play at this time, don't worry about it." ”
The He family is a martial artist, and her officials are also military generals, although they have the intention to train their children to become civil servants, but they always follow their father. He Muchen dances with guns and sticks from time to time, although He Muhuai only occasionally practices martial arts, but he always likes martial arts, as for his daughter, he has a headache when he mentions her Gao.
The military general is going to go to the battlefield, the sword and sword shadow on the battlefield are not long-sighted, and there is no certainty in life and death, but even if she doesn't want to, it is difficult to correct the thoughts of the children who have come.
The banquet of the He family and the banquet of the eldest princess's family were close to each other, and at this time they saw Liu Juetong angrily returning to the banquet, the eldest princess did not come today, but the horse brought her.
As soon as he sat down, he didn't wait for Liu Binhong to ask what the last sentence was, but I saw Liu Lingtong angrily throwing the handkerchief in his hand, "I will never give up on today's matter, let me make such a big ugliness in front of everyone, I am not finished with her!" ”
Many of the people around her frowned at her, and she also noticed it, retracted her displeased tone, and whispered something to her brother Liu Binhong.
Gao Shi showed an intriguing smile and reminded, "This eldest princess's mansion is really not easy to mess with, don't look at Liu Juetong is famous for being a talented woman, but the name of this talented woman is worth a few dollars, who doesn't know who is looking for people in the capital?" It's just the title that the eldest princess gave her. ”
The voice was not loud, but Qin Manhuai heard it clearly.
Su Yunyao and the others returned to the table, but they didn't expect Liu Lingtong to also sit nearby, and after looking at each other for a while, they had to take a seat.
Su Qianyao didn't want to be bad with people, but the matter had come to this point, and she couldn't help it, at this time, Liu Lingtong couldn't rush over to quarrel with her, right?
simply said a word to Qin Manhuai, but it is not difficult to see through Qin Manhuai's expression that she is not only in the limelight today, but also a bad symbol.
Before going out, Su Yao reminded him a few times not to cause trouble, although Su Qianyao and Su Yunyao felt that this was not trouble, but when they returned home, they didn't need to guess what their father thought.
"Mother, this bowl of sherbet is so delicious!" Su Yunyao changed the subject.
Qin Manhuai sighed slightly, "It's okay if you make an appointment with the son of the Sheng family, today's incident will definitely make your father angry, and next time you will teach you a lesson." ”
Su Yunyao was about to say that Liu Juetong took the initiative to make a chess appointment with the fifth sister, but Qin Manhuai didn't give her a chance to speak.
