"What?! He's dead?! When Gu Yanyao received the news, he was shocked, "How did you die?" ”

His subordinates reported, "Not long after he came out of the imperial study, he was poisoned and died in the prison, but ...... The imperial doctor and the servant are vague, and the subordinates guess that it may be an order from His Majesty......"

"Father? Where did he offend his father? "Although Shen Pan is not a smart person, he is not a stupid person, at least he has always been the best at slapping horses, and he will never do anything to anger the emperor in the imperial study.

The subordinate truthfully informed the ladies in the backyard of the Xie family who had inquired about what had happened between them.

After hearing this, Gu Yanyao was furious, "Old Mengtou's good daughter! Bring the woman to the king! ”

There is a noodle shop on the street, the shopkeeper's surname is Meng, everyone calls him Lao Mengtou, he is a short but extremely enthusiastic old man, and the neighborhood relationship is very good. After a little inquiry, I found out that in fact, Lao Mengtou had not opened a small noodle shop there for a long time, and he used to push a small cart to sell noodles in the streets and alleys, and the business was not good.

may have met a noble man by fate, he met Gu Yanyao, Gu Yanyao gave him a sum of silver, helped him buy the shop, and opened a noodle restaurant. Lao Mengtou is really doing business, the ingredients are fresh and sufficient, the price is not expensive, and it is not bad to do business.

That shop is a prime location, the only way to go to many places, how long Lao Mengtou has opened a noodle shop, he has helped Gu Yanyao keep an eye on how long people come and go.

When Shen Pan passed by the noodle restaurant, Lao Mengtou did send this bowl of noodles with kindness, and what happened afterwards was not deliberate.

But after coming and going, he got acquainted, and he reported to Gu Yanyao.

His Royal Highness the Third Prince has a reputation for being virtuous and talented, what can be better used than a poor scholar who is helpless and has no power behind him but is greedy for wealth and nobility? Give him a little bit and he will be able to wag his tail and beg to be the dog in front of you.

The most important thing is that from beginning to end, no one will think of His Royal Highness the Golden and Jade Third Prince and a Tanhualang who has no background. Even Tanhualang himself would never have imagined that Lao Mengtou was Gu Yanyao's person, let alone that he would have a reason why Tanhua in high school also had Gu Yanyao operating behind the scenes. He only knew that the third prince was a person who loved talents, but he never thought that there were thousands of talented people in the world, how could the person coveted by fate happen to be himself?

It's just that...... If you are not careful, you will lose all the games.

Gu Yanyao himself didn't think that the henchmen who had worked so hard to support him would be completely ruined by a few words from a woman.

……

In the afternoon, the old man of the Xie family came to Shi's house in person, got off the carriage, and saw Uncle Lin and the housekeeper waiting at the door early, saluting respectfully, "Old general, are you okay?" ”

They are all acquaintances, and Old Man Xie didn't have a fight, so he waved his hand, "You two old guys, one old general, you are not used to calling the old man!" And what about the old thing? I'm going to play chess with him! ”

As soon as the old man heard that you were coming, he was hiding chess. Uncle Lin held back a smile and led the person in, "The old man knows that you are here, and he cooks tea himself, saying that he wants you to taste his skills over the years." ”

"Huh, I don't know him yet?" Old Man Xie strode inside, "He made me tea?" I'm afraid that as soon as I hear that I'm coming, I'll hide the chess with all my might! This trick has been used for many years, and every time I go back to such a few places, he is not tired, and I am tired of looking for the old man. ”

Uncle Lin's laughter couldn't be held back. Old Man Xie stretched out his hand and nodded at him, "Look, I know you didn't run away with your expression!" That old thing has lived for most of his life, and he is still so naïve......"

In the courtyard, the voice was strong and unconvinced, "Aren't you naïve?" If you don't win, you will be pushed! Who's playing with you! ”

The old man's age was there, but his ears were good, and his voice was loud, and he shouted out violently, "Old man, I have played chess all my life, and my chess quality is so bad that I will meet you like this." ”

"You know a ball!" Boss Xie strode into the house, "The art of war is cloudy, and the soldier is also treacherous." If you know you can't win, why can't you mess up the game? Anyway, you didn't win, at most it was a tie. Those who know that they can't win and still hold on to their deaths are not good brains! ”

Taifu, who has adhered to the literati style all his life, has never won against Xie Lao in the matter of bickering, snorted when he heard this, and pointed to the tea in front of him, "Drink tea, there is." Playing chess, don't even think about it, I'll throw it under the lake to feed the fish! ”

Old Man Xie took out the chess box from his sleeve pocket, smiled and had a very good temper, put it in front of the Taifu, and drank the tea leisurely, "Well, good tea...... I know that you old thing is doing this trick again, just your chess, you won't be thrown into the river if you kill it, that's what your precious granddaughter gave you, I don't know? But I'm too lazy to look for it, so ...... Bring it yourself! ”

Taifu ...... The corners of his mouth twitched, and he looked at the chess box with an expression as if he was going to eat it.

Old Man Xie drank tea, set up the chessboard with a smile, pushed the white characters to Taifu, took the sunspot himself, and waved his hand, "Come on, come on, let's start...... What do you do with grinding and chirping? Do you really think that I worked so hard to come to your house just to play chess, and no one in my Xie family can play? Do I have to find you a stinky chess basket? I have something for you! ”

Taifu glared at him, "Who is the stinky chess basket?" What about your face! But in the end, he waved his hand and let the subordinates go out, leaving only Uncle Lin.

Xie Lao Luozi never thought about it, and only after falling into a son, did he say, "In front of you, what do you want that face to do...... Lao Lin, Tea ...... Old thing, let me ask you, your proud student, that martial arts is really useless? ”

Saying that, he didn't look at the chessboard, only looked at Taifu.

Taifu squinted at him, and said angrily, "With so many imperial doctors' witnesses, can you still be bluffed?" I've almost confessed my life several times, how many times has the eldest princess's mansion been prepared, are you talking to me about martial arts now? ”

It looks like he's really angry.

Xie Lao retracted his gaze and pondered, what this old man cared about the most and was most uneasy was Gu Ci, the student. Over the years, they have occasionally exchanged letters, and this old man has been asking Gu Ci most of the time, and he is really distressed.

Afterwards, he also asked Xie Jiang on the side, and the answer he got was the same as that of Taifu.

Can...... At that time, in his own yard, the speed of Gu Ci and the murderous aura at that moment...... Can't do it. Even if he was stopped by Shi Huan's words, no one noticed it except himself in a hurry, but ...... He was sure he wasn't dazzled.

Thinking of this, he seemed to have gossip, lost the sunspot in his hand, got up and leaned over on the stone table, and asked the Taifu in a low voice, "I said...... Your granddaughter, what does it have to do with Gu Ci? ”
