Inside Jiazhuxuan

Xu Qingyang picked up a chess piece between his fingers and landed steadily on the chessboard.

"My grandfather is clear, and my eldest brother's chess was taught by my grandfather, so I naturally can't compare."

Xu Zhai stroked his beard and laughed, "Hahahaha, Qingqing is blaming his grandfather for being eccentric?" ”

After all, a chess piece is lost.

Xu Qingyang saw that the chess game was clearly won or lost, and he was not in a hurry to make a move.

Qingqing knew that he was not as talented as his eldest brother, so he didn't dare to say anything. For example, in this game of chess, Qingqing already knows that there is no way to live, if the eldest brother is here, he may be able to crack one or two. ”

How could Xu Zhai not know his granddaughter's thoughts, so he unhurriedly picked up a chess piece from Xu Qingyang and put it on the chessboard.

"In this way, Qingqing will win, the old man is invincible, and he is willing to admit defeat."

Xu Qingyang showed a sweet smile, his wish was fulfilled, and said slowly,

"Did my grandfather ever play against my brother? That day, I saw two people playing against each other in the big brother's room, and the chessboard was about to be full. ”

Xu Zhai began to collect his son, and Xu Qingyang also reached out to help.

"Well, that kid is gifted, and he will become a great man in the future. It's just a pity,"

"What a pity?" Xu Qingyang was interested and hurriedly asked.

Xu Zhai looked at his granddaughter playfully, and said mysteriously,

"He is a person over there, unless the world is unified, it will be very difficult for Qingqing to get this husband."

Although Xu Qingyang is young, he still sounds shy about getting married, and his face is red in an instant.

"Grandfather!"

The grandfather and grandson laughed, and the housekeeper Xu Xian walked in.

"The master of the house, someone from the palace, please come into the palace. The carriage and horses had stopped in front of the door. ”

Xu Qingyang was no stranger to Xu Xian being summoned into the palace late at night, so he got up and saluted Xu Zhai slightly.

"Since the grandfather has something to do, the granddaughter will retire first."

Xu Zhai nodded, "Okay, if my grandfather enters the palace and gets a reward, I will send it to Qingqing." ”

"How did grandfather know that His Majesty would have a reward?"

"At this time, His Majesty called me, probably to find someone to play chess to relieve his boredom, Your Majesty is happy, and there will naturally be a reward."

"Then how do you know that Your Majesty must be pleased?"

Xu Zhai stroked his beard and smiled, "Old man, you have your own way." ”

After Xu Qingyang left, Xu Zhai also changed into court clothes, and his face was not as relaxed as just now.

"Head of the house, it's time to go." Xu Xian reminded softly on the side.

Xu Zhai glanced at the chessboard. Then leave.

After leaving Jiazhuxuan, Xu Qingyang looked up at the stars in the sky, and his heart was inexplicably relaxed.

"There seem to be more stars today than in the past."

Xiangling took the cloak from the maid behind her, stepped forward to drape it for Xu Qingyang, and took a detour to the front to tie it.

"The slave maid thinks that this is probably because God knows that there are a lot of people in the house recently."

Raising his hand, Xu Qingyang touched Xiangling's button, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, "Let's go." ”

With an order, there was a maid on the left and right sides in front of Xu Qingyang, holding a silk lamp in her hand, and she lowered her body and placed the lamp less than two inches above the ground. Xiangling was followed by four people, and unlike the two in front, these four people were holding brocade boxes of different sizes in their hands.

The group was walking well, but suddenly heard a "rustling" sound from the trees on the side, Xiangling immediately became vigilant and said, "Who is it?" ”

A few little maidservants suddenly panicked slightly, but Xu Qingyang's expression did not change, and he said lightly,

"Come out, Mingqi."

Ming Qi appeared quietly in everyone's doubts, and then knelt down on one knee,

"The subordinates are guilty, and they scared the girl."

"It's okay, didn't I say it, you don't have to kneel in the future. What are you looking for me? ”

Ming Qi got up,

"It's just that I saw that the girl hadn't come back for so long, and I was worried about the girl's safety."

Xu Qingyang smiled slightly after hearing this, "This is my own home, how can it be dangerous, but thank you very much." Now that they're all out, I'll take you shopping. ”
