In the past few days, Lin Xiaozhu has been fascinated by Go, playing against Shen Ziyi during the day, reading chess books and studying chess games by herself at night, she is already a very smart person, coupled with day and night research, coupled with Shen Ziyi's unconcealed explanation, in just a few days of hard work, she can make a chess master like Shen Ziyi defeat, and she naturally has indescribable excitement in her heart. While she was happy, she didn't notice the strangeness in Shen Ziyi's eyes, and rearranged the chessboard with unfinished intentions, raised her eyes and smiled: "Come again." ”

Shen Ziyi's eyes rolled, and he blinked and said, "It turns out that you are not good at chess, if you bet, I will take advantage of you." Now that you can beat me, shall we play some prizes? ”

"I'm poor." Lin Xiaozhu raised his eyes and said.

"Naturally, it's not about using money as a lottery. Miss Lin is a superb cook, and she has never had a chance to eat your cooking. Otherwise, if you lose, you make a dish for me to eat; If I lose, I'll give you this book. ”

"Really?" Lin Xiaozhu's eyes lit up. She regretted that if she left Shen Yuan, she wouldn't be able to see this chess book. Now Shen Ziyi is betting on it, and he really likes it. Although she has little chance of winning, she is not afraid of losing, she has not cooked for a few days, and her forehand is itchy. Shen Ziyi has helped her so much, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a life-saving grace, and she has been very well entertained in the past few days, and it is also appropriate to cook a table of dishes to thank him. It's just that Shen Ziyi didn't mention it a few days ago, and she couldn't say it. After all, people also have imperial chefs, and they still cook dishes with the taste of the South China Sea, and she may not be eye-catching as a craftsman. Now this is the right time to show your heart.

"That's nature. But if you want to play chess, you have to win. Come on! Shen Ziyi picked up the chess pieces with great interest.

Guess first, white son first.

Lin Xiaozhu took a white piece and put it in the position where Xiao Fei hung on the upper right star, and said in a cheerful tone: "White chess first, go to the official." ”

Without thinking, Shen Ziyi used a black spot to make a low clamp on the white one that Xiao Fei was hanging. Said: "Go to the people's side." ”

Lin Xiaozhu stopped talking, but quickly fell again, but he went to an official position.

It doesn't take a moment. There were more than 30 pieces on the board, all of which were concentrated in the upper left corner of the chessboard, and a black piece of Shen Ziyi occupied the corner ground. Another black piece separates Lin Xiaozhu's two white pieces, one with two pieces. Three pieces of unlived lone chess rushed to the middle of the belly to fight and fight to the death.

Lin Xiaozhu's initial relaxation disappeared, and his face slowly became solemn. More than 50 chess moves have been played, and the upper right corner of the chessboard is densely packed, and the three pieces of chess are vying for survival, and the situation is very tight. She is now facing a difficult game, her two pieces are required to live, while black only needs to take care of one. Scattered forces are extremely difficult to deal with the enemy's large forces!

Lin Xiaozhu was frowning and thinking hard, but he heard Mama Zhuang come to report: "Fifth prince, the little guy outside came to say that Doctor Yuan asked to see him." ”

"Oh?" Shen Ziyi glanced at Lin Xiaozhu, saw that she was still staring at the chessboard, and didn't seem to hear Grandma Zhuang's words at all, blinked her eyes, knocked on the table with her fingers, and said to Lin Xiaozhu, who raised her head in amazement: "Your son-in-law is here." ”

Lin Xiaozhu frowned. pouted: "If you don't come sooner or later, you won't come at this time." We haven't finished this game yet. He said so, but he still stood up.

Shen Ziyi pondered for a moment and said to Mama Zhuang: "You let someone bring him here." "Turn your head to Lin Xiaozhu and say." Let's get off ours, anyway, he has to walk a long way from outside to this courtyard. ”

"Good, good." Lin Xiaozhu was worried about the chessboard, feeling that this method was really the best of both worlds, so he happily sat down again, turned his head to Grandma Zhuang and said, "Trouble Grandma to bring my son-in-law in." ”

"It is the duty of the old slave to bring guests in." Mama Zhuang smiled, turned around and walked out of the Youzhu Courtyard, her brows slowly furrowed.

At first, Mama Zhuang was disdainful of Lin Xiaozhu, after all, no serious girl would go to a young man's house like this and stay for a few days. But later, when she saw that the five princes not only came to accompany each other whenever they were free, but also had a very respectful attitude, she was always afraid of neglecting Lin Xiaozhu, so she re-evaluated Lin Xiaozhu. But this time, I actually heard the prince of my family say "your son-in-law", Lin Xiaozhu also said this, as if the son who asked to see outside was Miss Lin's master, and she muttered in her heart again.

followed the little maid who came to report to the second gate, and Mama Zhuang saw that the son sitting in the hall was not inferior to her own prince in terms of appearance and temperament, and she was even more curious about Lin Xiaozhu's identity, and smiled at Yuan Tianye: "Son, please come with the old slave." Seeing that Yuan Shi naturally followed Yuan Tianye inside, she endured and endured, and finally didn't say anything.

It stands to reason that the prince of his own family should receive guests in the front hall, which is in line with etiquette. But at this time, not only did he mess around in the courtyard where the girls lived in the back house all day long, but he also brought strange men to the back house. Although Shen Yuan doesn't have a hostess, it's too unreasonable to do this, right? Her own prince has no sense of proportion, and she naturally can't ask other people to stay outside the second gate at this time.

The more Yuan Tianye walked, the more he felt that something was wrong, looked at the buildings on the side of the road, and asked, "Mama, this should be the back house, right?" ”

"Yes. When Yuan Gongzi came, our five princes were playing chess with a girl. And that girl seems to be your acquaintance. So the prince asked the old slave to take the son directly to the courtyard where the girl lived. Yuan Gongzi rest assured, not only did our prince not marry a wife, but he didn't even have a side concubine, and he didn't pay much attention to this back house. "Mama Zhuang is very good at talking, and she makes up for her prince's rudeness in a reasonable way.

Yuan Tianye heard Shen Ziyi and Lin Xiaozhu playing chess in her yard, and Lin Xiaozhu didn't come out to greet him when he heard him coming, so his face darkened. Silently followed Mama Zhuang to Youzhu Courtyard, and as soon as she entered the courtyard, she heard Lin Xiaozhu's cheerful voice coming from the hall: "Ha, I finally turned defeat into victory." Wait, I'm going to win this game! Chess game, chess game, you have to be surnamed Lin. ”

"Don't be happy so early, it's not certain who loses and who wins." Shen Ziyi was unconvinced.

"Yuan Gongzi, please come in." Mama Zhuang knew that when her prince was playing chess with Miss Lin, she was the most annoying to be disturbed. Yuan Tianye's arrival had just passed, and at this moment she skipped a step and directly brought Yuan Tianye into the hall.

Yuan Tianye walked into the hall and saw that there was no one on the chair next to the Eight Immortals table in the center. On the left side of the room, next to a large window, there is a large wooden couch that is two meters long and one meter wide, on which is placed a small table, on which are a pair of chess pieces and two tea cups. And Shen Ziyi and Lin Xiaozhu were sitting cross-legged on the wooden couch facing each other, concentrating on playing chess. Lin Xiaozhu was wearing a purple and red silver pattern embroidered with a hundred butterfly flowers, and under his waist was a long skirt embroidered with goose yellow embroidered white magnolia. There are a few shiny white pearls embedded in the peach heart bun, a butterfly hollow jade hairpin is inserted obliquely, a few strands of green silk hanging on the temples are black and soft, the beautiful little face is radiant, the eyes seem to be brighter than usual, the nose is straighter, the lips are redder, and the delicate and smooth face like jade seems to be full of a layer of luminous light, which looks like people can't take their eyes off it. She seemed to have taken a wonderful step at this moment, with a triumphant look on her face, her big eyes bent, and a sweet smile: "Not convinced, right?" Then go down until you are convinced. ”

Yuan Tianye only felt that his heart sank suddenly. The clothes and jewelry on Lin Xiaozhu's body were not sent by him; Lin Xiaozhu, who is so smart and beautiful that people can't take their eyes off it, is something he has never seen before; And the smug expression on her little face has never appeared.

Has she always hidden her brilliance, or has she not given her a chance to shine like this?

Yuan Tianye, who was standing at the door, felt like he had knocked over a seasoning jar, and he had mixed flavors.

Seeing Yuan Tianye standing at the door as if he was stunned, his eyes staring at Lin Xiaozhu, the expression on his face was unpredictable, Mama Zhuang hurriedly stepped forward and said to Shen Ziyi: "Fifth prince, Yuan Gongzi has arrived." ”

"Oh." Shen Ziyi turned his head and saw Yuan Tianye, he quickly stood up and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, I'm obsessed with playing chess, and I'm not far away." Faux pas. ”

"Childe." Lin Xiaozhu also quickly stood up and greeted him.

Seeing these two people standing together, tall, short, fat and thin are all so harmonious, the same smiling face, the same behavior, as if they are husband and wife who have been together for many years, with tacit understanding in their actions, Yuan Tianye only felt that his mouth was full of bitterness and sourness, he didn't speak, only smiled stiffly.

"Come, Doctor Yuan, let's sit over there." Shen Ziyi moved Yuan Tianye to the table and chair in front.

"Nope." Yuan Tianye took a deep breath, walked to Lin Xiaozhu's side, stretched out a big palm, and held Lin Xiaozhu's hand tightly as if announcing ownership, and said, "I'll take her back." ”

The words "take her back" bites very hard.

"You ......" Shen Ziyi's eyes widened, staring at the two hands, one big and one small.

Yuan Tianye's big hand, which was slightly calloused because of his martial arts practice, was so powerful and warm, and when he held it like this, Lin Xiaozhu's heart suddenly trembled slightly, and she, who had always been calm, suddenly became a little flustered. She abruptly withdrew her hand, turned around sharply, and covered up, "Childe, I, I'll pour you a cup of tea." ”

Shen Ziyi didn't know what was going on with him, he only felt that his mood just now was suddenly gloomy as dark as night, and Lin Xiaozhu's withdrawal of his hand suddenly brought him back to the sunny day, and his mood instantly improved, and he said with a smile: "Yes, you are a guest when you enter the door, and it is not too late to have a cup of tea and leave." ”

She withdrew her hand, she withdrew her hand...... At this time, Yuan Tianye's heart was like someone had taken a piece of it, leaving a big hole, and the slightly cool autumn breeze blowing in from the window made him feel a chill in his heart. He closed his eyes and said word by word: "Xiaozhu, come home with me." (To be continued)
