Chapter 297: A Moment Is Worth a Thousand Dollars

On this day, Zhao Kuo taught He Jin to play chess as usual, and the little guy in the house suddenly came to report.

"General, there is a person outside who said that he came to see him on the order of the prefect of Nanping County, and I hope you will go out to meet him."

He Jinzhi, who was learning energetically, frowned and waved his hand unhappily.

"What prefect doesn't know? No, no, no! Let the man go! ”

Then he looked at the person opposite with a flattering expression.

"Come, Zhao Kuo, continue to teach me how to play chess. You don't have to pay attention to the irrelevant idle people outside. ”

"This ......" the little guy looked embarrassed and stood at the door at a loss.

Glancing at He Jin lightly, Zhao Kuo got up and walked to the door.

"Where is that man now?"

"It's still outside the house."

"You go and get him to the antechamber first, and I'll go after that."

"Yes, the minions are retired."

After the little guy left, Zhao Kuo also prepared to go to the front hall.

Seeing his posture, He Jinzhi was anxious.

"Huh! Zhao Kuo, where are you going? Chess is not finished yet! ”

"Senior, I'll go to deal with some official business first, and then I'll come back to teach you how to play chess after I'm done with official business."

After speaking, no longer giving He Jinzhi a chance to stop him, Zhao Kuo raised his feet and left the room.

By the time He Jinzhi put on his shoes and chased him to the door, he was about to walk out of the courtyard.

"Zhao Kuo, you come back for me!"

"If you don't come back, I'll poison your daughter-in-law!"

Qiao Jinyu, who was leaning on the soft chair and reading a book, stroked her forehead when she heard this.

Is it really good to say in front of her that you want to poison her?

When Zhao Kuo walked away, He Jinzhi walked back in a huff.

"Girl, you husband is unacceptable, he actually left you and ran away alone!"

Qiao Jinyu raised her eyebrows.

When it comes to the ability to open his eyes and tell nonsense, this He Jinzhi is also a person she admires.

Putting down the book, she said: "Senior, my general is going to deal with official business, not to eat, drink and have fun. ”

"You'll speak for him!" He Jinzhi grunted dissatisfiedly.

Looking at the chessboard on the coffee table, He Jinyi's face was sad.

"What now? Your husband is busy, and I don't know when I will be able to finish it. ”

"Should be back soon."

said so, but in fact, Qiao Jinyu didn't know it in her heart.

The prefect of Nanping County?

She had never known before, and her general had dealings with officials from surrounding counties, nor did she know what was going on.

He Jinzhi looked at her and suddenly said, "Girl, do you know how to play chess?" Why don't you play the next game with me? ”

"No, it won't."

"I'll teach you!"

"You don't know much about it yourself, how can you teach others?"

Glancing at He Jin, Qiao Jinyu picked up the book on her lap again and read it slowly word by word.

"What a poisonous girl, she knows how to poke my old man's heart!"

Muttered dissatisfiedly, He Jinzhi was bored, so he grabbed the chess pieces in the chess box and played.

He grabbed a handful of chess pieces and held them in the palm of his hand, and then fell high, and the chess pieces fell into the chess box one by one, smashing them with a clanging bell, and making a terrible noise.

Qiao Jinyu knew his temperament, and he didn't bother to stop him, so he let him play there alone.

After a long time, Zhao Kuo came back, and He Jinzhi was overjoyed and beckoned to him happily.

"Oops! You're finally back! Come and teach me how to play! ”

Qiao Jinyu looked at Zhao Kuo's face and asked, "Then what is the prefect of Nanping County looking for you for?" ”

"It's not a big deal. It was that there were mountain bandits in Changning County who provoked and caused trouble, causing trouble among the people, and he wanted to ask me to send reinforcements to suppress the mountain bandits who were making trouble. ”
