Wen Ming and Xia Youmian climbed the mountain as usual the next day and came back to wash.

Wei Penglan also came on time, and pulled Wen Ming to prepare to go out: "Let's go, let's go to breakfast together." ”

Wen Ming didn't get up, looked at Wei Penglan and said, "I'm sorry, I have an appointment with the dean today." ”

Since the last riding and archery class, after admitting to Wei Jiyan that she had a relationship with the dean, she didn't plan to hide with Wei Penglan anymore.

"Wang Xiaoming, you hid it deep enough, you actually had breakfast together, it seems that the friendship is extraordinary." Wei Penglan shook off the sleeve of Wen Ming, who had just been pulled, and said angrily.

For this sudden refusal, she naturally wanted to make fun of it.

"I don't have a deep friendship with you, after all, we eat breakfast together almost every day." Wen Ming smiled at Wei Penglan.

Wei Penglan was really useful: "For the sake of such a deep friendship, I will let you go for the time being, and I will leave." ”

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Wen Ming knew that Qu Yan didn't go back to the princess's mansion yesterday, and he was going to have breakfast today, but he didn't make an appointment.

When Wen Ming came, Mu Bo had just come out with breakfast.

"Mu Bo, today's breakfast is enough, I came here to rub the rice. If it's not enough, I'll have to rob Mr. Wen Ming said with a smile at Mu Bo.

"Miss Xiaoming, what's the use of robbing Mr., I'll make you some more delicious food, and it will be fine right away." Mu Bo was very happy to see that Wen Ming rarely came in the morning, and immediately turned around and went to the kitchen again with food.

"You are always treated better than me, and the old man prefers young and beautiful little girls." Qu Yan looked at Mu Bo, who was so enthusiastic, and couldn't help but joke.

"Sir, don't have self-pity, as the so-called man is forty-one flowers, you are the age of a flower." Wen Ming sat down casually opposite Qu Yan.

"Where do you come from?" Qu Yan is happy, this girl always has a lot of fresh words.

"What Mr. has never heard of, it is all created by students." Wen Ming replied seriously.

"You still know that your husband is well-informed, and he didn't make up any ancient clouds." Qu Yan always heard the ancients from Wen Ming's mouth, and every time she asked which ancient person said it, she said that it had become ancient, and who remembered.

"Naturally, I always knew that Mr. was well-informed, otherwise how would I have worshipped Mr. as a teacher." Wen Ming looked respectful.

"Say, what's the matter with being so flattering early in the morning?" Qu Yan stared at her funny.

"I'm a little hungry and want to have breakfast." Wen Ming avoided answering and changed the topic.

"It's okay to talk about it after breakfast, or how about playing a game first, thinking more is good for a clear mind." Qu Yan took the road of playing chess with Wen Ming at every turn.

"How about two rounds? If I am still hungry, I will waste my energy, if I can get lucky enough to tie with my husband, what is the reward? Wen Ming didn't directly refuse the first time.

"Oh? Didn't you never want to play chess, and always said you wouldn't? Let you learn, but you say that you spend your brains and refuse to learn. Qu Yan became interested.

Qu Yan is good at playing, and he also likes to find someone to play chess, every time Wen Ming comes, he has to ask, but Wen Ming always refuses.

"I always say no, and my husband doesn't invite me to play chess every time." Wen Ming said helplessly.

"It seems that this time the plan is very big, and I am willing to do such a brain-consuming thing, let's say, what reward do you want if you are flat?"

"The picture is not very big, but there are some questions I want to ask Mr., I hope Mr. can know everything." Wen Ming replied truthfully.

"The tone is not small, so let's calm down first." Seeing that Wen Ming seemed to have a draw in hand, Qu Yan was in high spirits.

The chessboard was carved on a stone table in the courtyard, and the two quickly set up their formation.

"You hold the sunspot?" Qu Yan tentatively took a moment.

"Thank you, sir, for your courtesy." Wen Ming did not postpone it, and soon settled.

"It's really rare to see such a rude student!" Qu Yan said, looked at the position of her fallen son, it was very weird, and I didn't understand what kind of chess move this was.

Qu Yan also fell behind.

In this way, every time Wen Ming fell, it was fast and casual, without thinking at all.

And Qu Yan thought carefully at every step, because Wen Ming was too undisciplined.

In this way, black and white alternated, each fell thirty-four pieces, and the chessboard was scattered, and Qu Yan finally found the problem.

"You really don't know how to play chess?"

Although Wen Ming has always said that she can't, Wen Ming reads quickly, has a good memory, writes well, is smart, and has flexible ideas, saying that she can't play chess at all, he doesn't believe it very much.

But looking at the current situation on the chessboard, apart from the most superficial explanation of not being able to play chess, he can't think of a deep understanding.

"Of course I won't, haven't I told my sir many times? How could I lie to Mr. Wen Ming had the tone of a good student.

"And how are you going to tie with me?" Qu Yan is even more curious about this, if a person who doesn't know how to play chess wants to tie with you, naturally there are strange tricks.

"Didn't you say two games? Naturally, it is a game of Mr. and a game of mine. I'll teach my sir a way to play. ”

"It seems that the set has been set up a long time ago, waiting for me to drill it." Qu Yan looked at Wen Ming with a well-behaved appearance, and when he had a bad idea, he became angry.

"It's the gentleman who wants to play chess with me."

"Okay, let's talk, what's the way to play?" Qu Yan waved his hand, too lazy to listen to her quibble.

"It's very simple, it is also the side that each side holds black and white chess pieces, and the first side to form five consecutive chess pieces of the same color in the horizontal, vertical, and oblique direction of the chessboard wins." Wen Ming explained simply.

"It's as simple as that?"

"It's that simple!" Wen Ming nodded.

"This time sir first." Courtesy is still exchanged, she wants to be a good student of courtesy.

Qu Yan will not postpone the fall.

Wen Ming still fell quickly, and Qu Yan was still very slow.

Soon Qu Yan lost.

No matter how clever the ancients were, they couldn't be smarter.

Although Qu Yan said that he lost, he felt that this move was also very interesting: "One more game!" “

Wen Ming watched Mu Bo come out with breakfast.

Put away the chess pieces and put them in the chess box: "Sir, it's time for breakfast." ”

"Let's finish eating." Qu Yan's interest at the beginning, where did it disappear so quickly.

"Sir, remember we've had a draw." Wen Ming reminded.

"You girl, will I still deny it, if there is anything you want to ask, you ask, and then we won't count." Qu Yan knocked her on the head.

"Okay, I'll ask after eating." Wen Ming rubbed her head and said.

Mu Bo's craftsmanship is very good, specially for Wen Ming branded the purple cabbage cake, cooked green vegetables and salted egg porridge, because Wen Ming does not like sweetness, the buns were steamed before.

The breakfast was delicious and the smell of tea was very satisfying.

After the meal, Fauber served refreshments.

Qu Yan likes to drink tea after meals, and only likes to drink boiled water.

Wen Ming drank a few sips of water and asked, "Sir, what happened in the eighth year of Sheng Xi?" ”

Qu Yan took the tea in his hand, and then put it to his mouth and took a sip.

His expression was as casual as ever, and he replied: "A lot of things have happened in the eighth year of Sheng Xi, which one do you want to know?" ”

Wen Ming naturally noticed Qu Yan's reaction.

Then he said, "Sir doesn't want to answer, so I won't ask about it." ”

I asked you what happened, you asked me what I wanted to know, what I knew, how could I ask you, naturally I didn't want to answer.

"Knowing too much about some things isn't necessarily a good thing." Qu Yan put down the teacup and said lightly.

"Got it, sir." Wen Ming didn't ask any more.

Then he changed the question: "The family in the capital, the Xun family, the Shen family, the Song family, what do you think?" ”

Qu Yan smiled and asked meaningfully: "Why don't you ask the Su family?" ”

"Teaching and educating people, people who can be as famous as Mr. must not do anything dirty behind their backs." Wen Ming replied calmly, and patted a sycophant by the way.

"So you're trying to ask me who of these families is more likely to do dirty things behind their backs?" Qu Yan felt that the questions asked by this girl were ill-intentioned.

Wen Ming took two bites of dim sum, nodded, and said, "It can be understood so." ”

Qu Yan did not refuse this question, and talked eloquently: "The Xun family looks like a pool of tranquility, no matter how the outside world changes, it does not move at all?" It shows that it is hidden very deeply, since you ask so, it means that you have discovered this dirty thing, theoretically speaking, if the Xun family did it, ordinary people can't find it. But my disciples are not ordinary people, and it is not surprising to find out. ”

"Let's talk about the Shen family, it can be said that it is the first family now, with power, prestige, and connections, it has the ability to stand in the light when it does dirty things. But it is not excluded that everyone has a few people who like to move behind the scenes. ”

"The Song family is also very calm, but it is drifting with the tide, so it can't make any waves, since you asked, it means that you still don't know the reason for this dirty thing, under normal circumstances, the Song family can't do anything profound, but there may be something buried I don't know."

Qu Yan said while drinking tea, said a lot, and felt that there was no direction.

Wen Ming listened to Qu Yan's words, and had to say that her husband was a talent, he excluded every family for you, and said that every family was suspicious.

Wen Ming asked again: "What kind of person is Old Man Huaiguo Gongliu?" ”

Qu Yan took a sip of tea and said slowly: "He is a person who judges the situation." ”

"Sir is really well-informed." Wen Ming praised.

One meal, two games of chess, a lot of people.

Wen Ming knew that what happened in Sheng Xi's eight years can't be said, everyone has a behind-the-scenes business, and Old Man Liu is a powerful person.
