Zhu Wen was eating dim sum, one plate in front of him had already been eaten, and he was about to bring the other plate to him, when he saw the two of them entering the door, he hurriedly swallowed the dim sum in his mouth, "Father, mother." ”

"Didn't you send someone to go to Xu's house for dinner with Xu Yu? How did you starve like this? ”

Mrs. Zhu asked.

"Don't mention it......"

Zhu Wen picked up the tea and drank it all, "I didn't dare to eat at Xu's house at all." ”

Don't dare?

Zhu Zhong's first thought was that this kid had made a mistake, and the trouble was not small, so he chuckled in his heart, and his voice lost his usual calmness, "What did you do?" ”

Hearing his voice raised, Zhu Wen knew that his father had misunderstood, and hurriedly said, "I didn't do anything, I just asked the old gentleman for some knowledge." ”

Zhu Zhihong was a little unconvinced, if he just asked for teaching, how could he not even dare to eat at Xu's house? "You'd better tell the truth, and if I let me know you're lying, you'll be fine."

Zhu Wen only swore to the sky, "I really didn't do anything, I don't believe that my father can send someone to ask." ”

Seeing that he didn't look like a lie, Zhu Zhihong relaxed a little and sat down on the chair opposite him, "Then why don't you dare to eat at Xu's house?" ”

"I actually wanted to go to Xu Yu's cousin to teach chess skills, who would have thought that the little girl was not there at all, and I couldn't tell the truth, I could only say that I went to ask the old gentleman for teaching, and the old gentleman also asked me to make an article and gave me an explanation, I was afraid that he would ask me after dinner, so I came back."

"Yes!"

Hearing that he was going to teach chess with a little girl, Zhu Zhihong was angry.

Zhu Wen is fourteen years old, he should know about the defense of men and women, this is the old gentleman does not know his intentions, if he knows, he must let people beat him out.

Mrs. Zhu also felt that her son owed consideration, "Wen'er, don't be so reckless in the future, the girl's reputation is very important." ”

"Where does my mother want to go, Cousin Xu Yu is only ten years ......old, oh, by the way, it's that Song Wanyue."

"Song Wanyue?"

Zhu Zhihong asked.

Zhu Wen nodded, "She played a game of chess with Xu Yu yesterday, and today Xu Yu came out of the game, it was so exciting, I couldn't hold back for a while, so I found a reason to eat and went to Xu's mansion." ”

"She's so good at chess?"

Zhu Zhihong was surprised, Xu Qingwan was taught by the old gentleman back then, and her calligraphy and painting were naturally good, and it was not surprising that her daughter, Song Wanyue, could play chess, but if she could win against Xu Yu, her chess skills would be quite good.

"Not only that, but she and the old gentleman also win and lose half when they play chess."

Zhu Zhihong didn't believe it.

The old gentleman has been immersed in chess for decades, taking one step at a time to see ten moves, the superb chess skills are unmatched in the entire capital, Song Wanyue can win or lose half with the old gentleman?

"Who did you listen to?"

"Of course it's Xu Yu, he reviewed the chess game between Song Wanyue and the old gentleman, you didn't see it, it's even more exciting than wonderful, I've never seen such a shocking chess game."

Seeing him talk about the chess game, his eyes lit up and his blood was boiling, Zhu Zhihong couldn't help but ask, "You might come back out?" ”

"Yes, I watched the whole lesson in today's chess class, and it was engraved in my mind."

Zhu Zhihong asked people to set up the chessboard, Zhu Wen held a black son in his left hand, a white son in his right hand, and a son fell, Zhu Zhihong became more and more excited the more he watched, and the more he watched, the more excited he became, and in the end he couldn't hold back, and the case was amazing, "Good chess!" ”

Mrs. Zhu also knows chess, and she can play a few games with her father-in-law on weekdays, and when she saw the chess game in front of her, she knew that women can play chess so much.

"This—Is this really the little girl playing against the old gentleman?"

"Surprised, huh?"

Zhu Wen put down the last chess piece, wiped his hands, took another piece of dim sum and put it in his mouth, chewed it quickly, and swallowed it, "I just saw this chess game, so I couldn't help but go to Xu's house, and wanted to play against that little girl, but unfortunately, he was not in Xu's mansion." ”

Zhu Zhihong didn't speak, and his eyes couldn't take his eyes off the chessboard.

The housekeeper came in and said that the meal was ready, Zhu Wen asked them to bring it in and put it on the table, and the maid came in with it, and just about to put it down, Zhu Zhihong shouted, "Take it away!" ”

The maid's hand shook, the bowl in her hand was almost thrown out, and she looked at her wife cautiously, and Mrs. Zhu motioned to another maid to move a small table, put it on the bed, and let Zhu Wen go there to eat.

Zhu Wen was really hungry, he ate quickly, and when he finished eating, he saw that his father's eyes hadn't left the chessboard, so he leaned over, "Dad is free another day, why don't you go to Xu's house, maybe you can meet that little girl, and you can ...... with her then."

Zhu Zhihong came back to his senses from the chess game, "You're right, it's time for me to visit the teacher, madam, you prepare a gift, I'll go tomorrow." ”

"I'll go too!"

"You can't go, even if she's only ten years old, she's still a girl."

After saying that, he called the butler over and asked him to carefully carry the chessboard to his room. He followed back, sat directly at the table, watched most of the night, and when he went to Shangchao on the second day, he still had a chess game in his mind, and the whole morning court was absent-minded.

The emperor sat on the dragon chair and saw clearly, and gave Gonggong Huang a look.

After the early dynasty dispersed, Zhu Zhihong had just walked out a short distance when he was stopped by Huang Gonggong, "Lord Zhu, please stay."

Zhu Zhihong followed him to the imperial study, and stood up after saluting.

After the emperor finished approving a book, he put it aside and looked at him, "Zhu Aiqing, what's the matter with the cabinet?" ”

"Back to the emperor's words, no."

No?

When the emperor looked at him, Zhu Zhihong didn't know what the emperor meant, and asked tentatively, "What did the emperor hear?" ”

"I see that Aiqing is a little absent-minded this morning."

Zhu Zhihong hurriedly knelt down, "Please forgive the emperor." ”

The emperor leaned back in his chair, "Tell me, what made you like this?" ”

Zhu Zhihong didn't dare to hide it and told him about the chess game.

"You mean that Song Wanyue is good at chess?"

"The minister hasn't played against her in person, so I don't know if it's true or not."

"Huang De, go and call Xu Yan."

Huang Gonggong should be, and quickly called Xu Yan over.

"I've seen the emperor."

Xu Yan saluted.

"I heard that your niece is good at chess?"

Although Xu Yan was surprised that the emperor would suddenly ask about Yue'er's chess skills, he did not hide it, "Yes, the ministers are not her opponents." ”

"Oh?"

The emperor sat up straight, "She is so powerful at such a young age. ”

"Yes."

"I didn't see it, I thought she was just bold."

Xu Yan didn't answer.

The emperor didn't say anything more, waved them to retreat, and then went out of the imperial study and went to Kunli Palace in a sedan chair.

Since the loss of her child, Concubine Xiao Xian has not recovered, she is depressed all day long, and the emperor has tried his best to make her happy, but it has no effect.

"Your Majesty."

Concubine Xiao Xian saluted.

The emperor helped her to sit down, "I heard that Song Wanyue is good at chess today, and I want to announce her to come to the palace to accompany you to play a few games, what do you think?" ”
