The bronzed-complexion and sunny Fan Yan raised his sword eyebrows, and his narrow eyes smiled wantonly, "Ah Yan, I'll take you to Dongshi to play, do you want to go?" ”

"Of course!"

"Okay, sit tight," Fan Yan pulled the reins of the horse, and the horse Herod raised his hooves, walked the horse Zhangtai, and went all the way to Dongshi.

Zhang Yan sat on the back of Fan Yan's horse, listening to the noise of the market on both sides of the street, and gradually put aside the depression in her heart, and looked at the dazzling market and the bustling crowd.

Fan Yan saw a figure peeking out of the mullioned window on the second floor of Qiongyang Restaurant, reined in his horse, and shouted, "But Ah Kai is above?" ”

The young man upstairs glanced out of the window and said casually, "Fan Dalang, come up!" ”

Fan Yan responded, "Hey,"

He dismounted in front of the restaurant, threw the reins to the little guy who stepped forward, and said to Zhang Yan with a smile, "Ah Yan, I'll take you to meet a wonderful person!" ”

He staggered up to the second floor of the restaurant. Zhang Yan followed behind her, and at a glance she saw a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy sitting on the bamboo couch in the window, as if his heart was hit by a boulder, and he was stunned for a while, unable to move.

At that time, it was nearly noon, and the bright sunlight shone in from the window lattice, shining behind him, and she couldn't see the faces of the guests on the floor clearly, only seeing a person in front of her. It was as if the whole restaurant had made a background in an instant, and the boy raised his head, like a heavy brush in an ink painting, standing out from the gloomy background color. The outline, the eyebrows and eyes, all look like a person, her brother in her previous life.

How so?

Zhang Yan trembled.

Could it be that she is sick with her thoughts, and God is pitiful, so that Guan Er also came here to accompany her, or is this just a joke played by fate on her?

Zhang Kai picked up the wine bowl, looked at the male and female clothes beside Fa Xiao, was slightly surprised, and asked, "Ah Yan, what is this?" "There is still a thin crimson on his face.

Fan Yan smiled, "This is my little niece, she was born beautiful, right?" ”

He turned to Zhang Yan and said, "Ah Yan, this kid's name is Zhang Kai, he also has a sour number, called Yan Yin, although he was not born very well, but it can be regarded as your uncle and my uncle, if you want, you will call uncle, if you don't want to, just treat it as if you didn't see it!" ”

Zhang Yan lowered her eyes and smiled, "Got it." ”

- It turns out that it's not Guan'er.

- Also, how can it be Wan'er?

She smiled softly and withdrew her gaze.

When he looked at himself, his eyes were clear, and there was a faint strangeness and alienation in his eyes.

She wouldn't look at her like this.

Wan'er won't make her sad, won't look at her helpless appearance, won't let her find her direction in a daze. - He has been brave enough to protect himself until fate separates them!

"It's a good day," Fan Yan picked up Zhang Kai's wine jug and persuaded her, "How can Ah Kai drink alone again?" Could it be that your big brother is embarrassing you again? ”

"Nothing." Zhang Kai was categorical, paused, and said, "It's just that I'm in a bad mood, Ah Yan, don't say it, since you're here, accompany me to drink a bar!" ”

"Cousin," Zhang Yan called suddenly, "you can also order a pot of wine!" ”

She desperately needs a bowl of wine to get drunk now!

Baiweizhi wine is clear, with the aroma of a hundred flowers, Zhang Yan drank it, and the wine was sweet in the mouth, covering a tear she fell.

"The eldest prince," a little servant of the Fan family rushed up from downstairs like a burning buttocks, and said hurriedly, "Madame ordered the slave maid to send you a letter, saying that the Hou Ye found out that his butcher's knife was hidden by you, and he hurriedly carried the family law all over the street to find you!" ”

"What?" Fan Yan jumped up in shock, and hurriedly slammed her black leather boots under the curtain, "Ah Kai, I'll go hide from the limelight, you can help me send Ah Yan back in a while!" ”

"That old man," he grumbled, turning over and jumping down from the second floor of the restaurant, "he has already become a marquis of ten thousand households, and he still uses the former dog butcher knife as a treasure, and he is not afraid of outsiders looking at him, and touching it is like asking for his life!" From a distance, I heard a burst of angry scolding from Wuyanghou on the long street, and the sound of horses' hooves gradually faded away!

Rao is Zhang Kai was depressed for a while, and was also amused by Wuyang Hou's father and son.

He poured a bowl of Guanzhong Baiben, brought it to his lips and drank it all, looking at the girl left behind by Fan Yan out of the corner of his eye. She was only five or six years old, with snowy skin and beautiful eyebrows, sitting on the side of the hall, looking up at herself from time to time, that gaze was very strange, not like a childish child of this age, but with an indescribable obscurity, as if she had suffered for many years, she couldn't help but feel a little strange in her heart, and asked,

"Little lady's surname?"

Zhang Yan was stunned for a moment and replied, "My surname is Zhang, and my single name is Yan." ”

"It turned out to be the eldest lady of the Xuanping Hou family!" Zhang Kaidao, took the fragrant wood chessboard placed aside, and asked, "Would Mrs. Zhang be willing to play a game of chess with me?" ”

Zhang Yan lowered her eyes, "I want to do what I want!" ”

She picked up her clothes and sat down on Zhang Kai's desk, with an elegant posture, looking up at the chessboard in front of her.

Although the Go system in the early Han Dynasty is in the same vein as later generations, there are some differences, with 17 vertical and horizontal lines on the Xianghua wood chessboard in front of them, and 19 in later generations. And it is different from the black first in later generations, but the white son first.

Zhang Kai said, "You are young, why don't I let you have eight children." ”

"No need," Zhang Yan looked up and smiled, "Young Master Yanyin, I got a chess game in the past, which is quite wonderful, how about putting it out to compete with you?" ”

Zhang Kai and the chess path are extremely high, very proud, and said with a faint smile, "Listen to it!" ”

Zhang Yan took the black and white clay pot placed aside, and took out the chess pieces one by one and put them on the chessboard.

She was slow to place.

In Go, she has not studied intensively, but Waner is a senior chess fan, Waner once learned a chess game, and held her hand in the middle of the night to explain it carefully, very excited. She was sleepy, unconsciously asleep, and now that she thinks about it, the days at that time were really happy, and that chess game is deeply imprinted in her memory for some reason.

Because of the need to convert the chess game from the nineteen boards in later generations to the seventeen boards today, she was very cautious, and it took a quarter of an hour to set up the chessboard and arch her hand, "Please." ”

Zhang Kai looked at the chessboard for a while, took a particle from the white clay pot, and landed on the chessboard.

He was careless at the beginning, and the chess pieces fell very quickly without thinking, and he went to the middle of the game, and slowly realized the mystery of this chess game, and couldn't help but be cautious, and held the chess pieces between his fingers before he fell, but there was no power to return to the sky, the left and right were weak, and the chess style was faintly restrained, and the chess game on the board was like an ocean, no matter where the generals fell, they were like a whirlpool, and finally had to be swept away.

When the game was about to end, Zhang Kai smiled bitterly, pushed Ping to admit defeat, and looked at the girl in front of him with a look of surprise and solemnity, "Since I became a seven-year-old chess player, I have never lost so badly except for losing a few games in my father's hands." ”

Zhang Yan pursed her lips and smiled, "Young Master Yan Yin is polite, in fact, Ah Yan is only a little familiar with Go, and she was able to win this game, just because someone once taught me a strange score!" ”

"Oh?" Zhang Kai asked curiously, "I don't know who is the person who taught you this chess game?" ”

Zhang Yan stared at him deeply and lowered her head, "I can't see it anymore!" ”

Zhang Kai was silent for a moment, "I'm sorry." ”

"It's okay." Zhang Yan smiled, "Although he is not by my side, I know that he has always cared for me, and that is enough!" ”

Zhang Kai smiled slightly, brushed off the chessboard and said, "It's not early, I'll send you back to the Xuanping Marquis Mansion!" ”

Zhang Yan nodded, "It's okay." When he got up, he suddenly felt that his eyes were dark, and he almost fell to the side, Zhang Kai helped her and asked worriedly, "Are you okay?" ”

"It's fine." Zhang Yan smiled and shook her head, "Maybe I was in a hurry when I got up, but it will be fine after a while." ”

A round of red sun hung on the horizon, under the thin twilight, the Tongbi carriage stopped in front of the Xuanping Marquis' Mansion, Zhang Yan got out of the carriage, and bent her knees with a smile at Zhang Kai, "I'm home, Brother Yanyin will go back first!" ”

"Well," Zhang Kai nodded slightly, "You go in first." ”

He stood in place, watching Zhang Yan's curling figure disappear into the gate of the Hou Mansion, Fang turned around and ordered the royal people, "Let's go!" ”

Zhang Yan walked through the front yard of the Hou Mansion, entered the corner gate of the inner courtyard, looked at the twilight, the sky dimmed, the lights in the house had not been lit for a while, and there was no figure in the huge courtyard, she breathed a sigh of relief, and gently tiptoed up the corridor, wanting to quietly rush back to Mingyue Garden, and suddenly heard a light "cough" behind her, and the palace lamps hanging under the corridor were all lit up in an instant, Princess Lu Yuan walked out from behind and asked, "Where did Ah Yan come from?" ”

Zhang Yan was stunned for a moment, turned her head, and said with a flattering smile, "A-Niang." ”

Princess Lu Yuan looked at the men's clothes on her body, and scolded with a straight face, "What did you go out to mess around with today?" ”

"Where?" Zhang Yan raised her neck, "I walked around Chang'an City casually today, and then I went to Huayang Street, and Uncle Fan took me to visit the East Market, and when the sun went down, I came back." ”

"Ah Yan," Lu Yuan's face was dignified, and his eyes were slightly solemn when he looked at his daughter, "You are also a big child, Ah Niang and Ah Weng feel sorry for you, and let you go in and out at will, so that you will not be restrained." You should also watch yourself and don't do anything that worries you and me! ”

Zhang Yan felt a trace of guilt in her heart, and threw herself into Lu Yuan's arms and said, "A-Niang, I know it's wrong." ”

She drank a lot of wine today, and her body was naturally contaminated with some alcohol, and she couldn't smell it when she was far away just now, but now in Lu Yuan's arms, Lu Yuan naturally smelled it, and glared at her beloved daughter fiercely,

"This time it's your cousin of the Fan family who is messing around on the street, I will go to train him, but you don't have a plan yourself, just follow him to mess around, you dare to drink outside at a young age, fortunately nothing happened, if something really happened, see how you end?"

Zhang Yan pursed her ears, "A-Niang, I really know that I was wrong," raised her hand and swore in her ear, "Never again!" Just let me go. ”

This little girl, Lu Yuan looked at her delicate appearance, his heart softened, and he reached out and rubbed her hair, "Look at you are embarrassed, why don't you go back to the garden to take care of it!" ”

"Hey," Zhang Yan ran a few steps and looked back, Lu Yuan stood in place, staring at herself, and the bright palace lamp behind her reflected her gaze more and more quietly and gently.
