Chapter 46: Playing Chess
Shen Xiu was not restricted from moving, she could go out of the house or go to the back garden for a stroll.
As for walking out of the Yongshou County Palace, she didn't plan to leave, and naturally she wouldn't try.
"Girl, this is sent by the eldest prince." The little girl came in with a jewelry box.
At the age of thirteen or fourteen, when he is the most naΓ―ve, he is jumping and walking when he speaks.
"Oh, I have a heart, put it there." Shen Xiu said, his expression was indifferent, and he couldn't say that he was happy or worried.
It's been the fifth day since he was robbed that day.
Han Rong arranged her in the east wing of the former study, sending girls, clothes, and jewelry, showing the character of the domineering boy brother to the fullest.
It's just that every time she sees Han Rong's face, she will have a helpless and funny emotion.
Too young, a fourteen-year-old little kid, and born in a rich family, a little kid who hasn't suffered anything.
"Girl, it's all foreign goods, don't you want to take a look?" Que Er said, looking at Shen Xiu with some curiosity.
Now everyone in the house says that the new girl is very strange.
The way it came was strange, as if it was snatched from the street. Han Rong seemed to like her very much, but instead of placing her in the backyard, he put her in the front study.
Han Rong is fourteen years old, and he has reached the age of discussing relatives, so it is not surprising to have a waiter by his side.
But the young lady in front of her who came from an unknown origin really doesn't look like an ordinary person, but like the daughter of a family.
"I'll see later." Shen Xiu said.
Before he finished speaking, he heard Han Rong at the door: "Why, don't you like what I sent?" β
Que'er hurriedly greeted him, bowed his head and said, "The eldest son." β
"You get out." Han Rong waved his hand and said, looking at Shen Xiu.
Shen Xiu's expression was indifferent, he neither got up to greet him, nor did he move, but just sat safely and looked at him with a smile.
Han Rong couldn't say the emotion in his heart, if he had changed to a big name like a girl, he would have beaten someone a long time ago.
But with Shen Xiu, her appearance, her temperament ......
It doesn't seem like that's a big deal.
"What I gave you, don't you like it?" Han Rong said.
I changed my new clothes, but I ...... dress up
I can't say it's bad, I can only say that it's normal and natural, and I didn't wronged myself or deliberately dressed up.
As for the things that were given to her, where they were put anyway, she didn't say she didn't like it, but she never showed joy either.
"Why, my daughter's family will like it." Shen Xiu said with a smile.
Han Rong clasped his hands to his chest and said with a bit of fault: "I don't see how much you like it." β
"The fifth generation of the Shen family is noble, and as the young lady of the Shen family, I had a lot of these things back then." Shen Xiu said, "Even if I became a slave later, the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion is also a rich family, and I have seen a lot of these things." β
Han Rong was dumbfounded, Shen Xiu was not a poor girl from a village flower, a young lady of the Shen family, or her family was defeated, and she had seen it in the world.
He was too naΓ―ve to use these things to please her.
"I already know the mind of the eldest prince." Shen Xiu said, got up and saluted, "Thank you." β
Han Rong looked at Shen Xiu, who was polite and indifferent, and infinite frustration welled up in his heart, but he felt as if something was grabbing his heart, which made him even more uncomfortable.
He likes Shen Xiu, a gentle and elegant lady, although he is three years older than him.
But older women, he seems to prefer some.
Shen Xiu is very good, he really likes it, but like this Shen Xiu, he doesn't know what to do at all.
And the more Shen Xiu made him feel at a loss, the more he felt that a hundred claws scratched his heart.
"Actually, my daily life is very simple." Shen Xiu said suddenly, as if pointing to Han Rong, "If the eldest prince is worried that I am bored at home, you can ask someone to send pen, ink, paper and inkstone, I want to practice calligraphy." β
"I'll order it to be delivered in a moment." Han Rong said immediately.
As he spoke, he suddenly felt that something was wrong again.
What does this mean, is Shen Xiu instructing him on how to please himself?
There seems to be something wrong with this trend.
"Thank you, eldest son." Shen Xiu said with a smile, seeing that Han Rong didn't mean to leave, he said, "If the eldest prince is fine, how about playing chess?" β
Han Rong really wanted to stay and play chess with Shen Xiu, but he felt that this direction was not quite right.
It stands to reason that he is the eldest prince of the Yongshou County Palace, and Shen Xiu is just an official slave, so he should be the leader. But this kind of trend is fundamentally Shen Xiu grasping the dominance, and he has become the obedient one.
But he really wanted to play chess......
"If Childe has anything else, then ......," Shen Xiu said.
Han Rong said: "I'll give you a chance to see my chess skills." β
"Okay." Shen Xiu said with a smile.
Han Rong personally brought the chessboard, placed it on the Luohan bed by the window, sat down on the left side, and said, "This son asked you to hold the sunspot." β
"Uh......" Shen Xiu paused slightly, sat down on the right hand side, and said: "My chess skills are from my grandfather's true inheritance, and after the age of nine, it is difficult to find opponents. β
"What, are you worried I'm going to lose?" Han Rong said with a smile.
Shen Xiu looked serious and said, "No, I'm worried that the water will be released too much, so that the eldest prince will notice it." β
"......" Han Rong went crazy almost instantly, "Who asked you to release the water, if you dare to release the water, I will definitely not spare it." β
Shen Xiu's expression was helpless, and he said, "Okay then." β
As he spoke, Shen Xiu picked up the sunspot and put his hand first.
If you don't have enough time for a cup of tea, Baizi will go away and have no power to return to the sky.
Han Rong only felt even more crazy, his brain seemed to freeze instantly, he raised his hand to lift the chessboard, and shouted, "One more game." β
Shen Xiu seemed to have already been conscious, and the moment Han Rong lifted the table, he got up and retreated, otherwise he would have to be scattered by the chess pieces.
"Ahh......h
Shen Xiu said: "Are the eldest princes sure they want to play another game?" β
"You, you're ......" Han Rong was almost about to vomit blood, and he felt like he was being seriously tricked.
But looking at Shen Xiu, he seemed to be angry again.
Something must be wrong, there must be something wrong.
Why did he fail miserably, he didn't win or lose in chess, he didn't take the lead. But if you lose like this, where will you put your face?
What is more important now is how he can restore his dignity.
"If the eldest prince is unwilling, I will definitely let you win the next game." Shen Xiu said with a smile, his expression extremely sincere.
It seems that Han Rong can't stand it anymore. I didn't want to save my dignity, and I didn't dare to look at Shen Xiu, so I threw my sleeves and was about to leave.
"The eldest prince ......" Shen Xiu suddenly stopped him.
Han Rong paused for a moment, and said viciously, "What are you doing." β
"If the eldest prince really keeps me, please send a convoy into Beijing as soon as possible, and only say to the outside world that he has sent me to the capital." Shen Xiu said, his expression calm, "As for myself, I'm afraid I can't stay in the Yongshou County Mansion anymore." β
Han Rong's originally violent face instantly became serious.
Looking back at Shen Xiu, I saw that her expression was calm and calm. If he hadn't heard it with his own ears, he wouldn't have believed that Shen Xiu in front of him said this.
"Cheng Shaomu is coming back." Shen Xiu said.
Han Rong's face was extremely ugly, different from the sullen anger just now, he felt even more humiliated at the moment, and said, "What, are you worried that I won't be able to fight Shaomu?" β
"I know Cheng Shaomu very well, and I know his feelings for me very well." Shen Xiu said, "My surname is Shen, and my identity is too warm. The eldest prince is not wise at this moment to have a dispute with someone because of the daughter of a criminal minister. β
Although Cheng Shaomu's personality is not strong, he still has some feelings for her.
Even if he didn't love for that little bit of affection, for the sake of blood, he couldn't bear to let her be left out and become a plaything of the palace.
When the time comes, Han Rong doesn't have any position. Her deed is still in the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion, and in terms of blood relationship, she and Mrs. Cheng are also aunts and nephews.
Not long after Han Xiao took the throne, Princess Cheng was trying to find Han Xiao's fault. If Han Rong caught her at this time, he would say that he was robbing people and slaves at worst, and at worst, he would be colluding with the Shen family.
That's right, Princess Cheng can also find out what is wrong. What's more, this matter was originally Han Rong's fault.
When the time comes, she doesn't know how Han Rong will be, and her end will definitely be miserable.
Cheng Shaomu may really like her, but his handling of everything is also destined that he will not think too much about her before doing things.
"You're reminding me?" Han Rong was a little surprised, and looked at Shen Xiu suspiciously, "You and Cheng Shaomu are cousins, and you have been in love for the past few years, you should want to go back to the Plains Hou Mansion." β
Although he liked Shen Xiu very much, he was not confident that Shen Xiu fell in love with him at first sight, so he really followed him.
From Shen Xiu's point of view, returning to the Plains Marquis Mansion should be what she wants.
Shen Xiu shook his head and said, "Pingyuan Hou Mansion...... There's no place for me, and I don't want to be there. β
Even if Tao is fierce, as long as she curries favor with Cheng Shaomu, it is not difficult to win a place.
But......
Just be a girl for a lifetime, even if you have a child, you can't raise yourself, where is the meaning of life?
Her surname was Shen, and her whole family was exterminated. Carrying so much on her back, and letting her live such a life again, no matter how you think about it, is desperate.
If it is not broken or standing, it may be dangerous to leave the Plains Hou Mansion. But after the danger, maybe it's a different world.
"Cheng Shaomu, did you make you sad??" Han Rong tilted his head and said.
Cheng Shaomu had spoken outside before, and he didn't want to marry Yunyun, which must be because of Shen Xiu.
Now that Cheng Shaomu is married, his wife is such a strange thing. Shen Xiu was first emotionally hurt, and then met such a housewife, and it is understandable that she was disappointed and wanted to leave.
But with Shen Xiu's current identity, following Cheng Shaomu can be regarded as a rare good result.
"No, it's not." Shen Xiu shook his head and said, "Uncle Cheng has always treated me very well, but I want to leave." β
Han Rong looked at Shen Xiu and faintly felt a little understood.
A peaceful life is not what she wants, that is to say, what she asks for is greater.
"Of course, if the eldest prince doesn't want to keep me, he can send me to the capital, or send me back to the Plains Marquis Mansion." Shen Xiu said.
Han Rong smiled and said, "Since I dare to rob, I dare to stay." β
