Chapter Ninety-Six: Life Is Like Chess (3)

The old lady's courtyard is in the Qingsong Garden in the northernmost part of Shangguan's mansion, and it is exactly in the major key with the Qingyin Courtyard in the southernmost Ah Jiu.

However, although it is one south and one north, although the two courtyards are also very clean, but the old lady Shangguan Qingliu is much cleaner and more elegant here, and the decoration is also full of low-key luxury, and there is no large cemetery.

Riding in a small sedan chair, Ah Jiu traveled for a quarter of an hour to reach the door of Qingsong Garden from Qingyin Temple.

However, as soon as she got off the sedan chair, a few burly servants came out of the Qingsong Garden, and led another sedan chair carrying Shangguan Feng to the corner gate on the side.

Obviously, they already knew what the state of Shangguan Feng carried in the sedan chair was.

Ah Jiu was not surprised that they knew this, what she wanted to know most now was what her grandfather, who was already in a semi-secluded state, wanted to do next!

While thinking, led by a white-haired old servant, Ah Jiu walked slowly along the zigzag corridor towards the Haizi Hall of Qingsong Garden. It took about a pillar of incense before she was led to the door of Haizi Hall.

After the old servant went in to report, he invited Ah Jiu in.

However, as soon as he entered the room, Ah Jiu saw an old man with white hair sitting in front of a mess, as if he was thinking about something, it was from childhood to adulthood that Ah Jiu had only seen Shangguan Qingliu a few times.

Ah Jiu was struggling with how to greet her long-lost grandfather, but she didn't want to wait for her to speak, Shangguan Qingliu said without raising his head: "Jiu'er came just in time, I can't break this game after thinking about it for a long time, you just come to help me take a look." ”

That kind of voice, that kind of tone, as if Ah Jiu was very familiar with him, his favorite granddaughter.

Ah Jiu's eyes flashed, and then he slowly stepped forward, glanced down at the endgame, and said with a slight smile: "Grandfather really thinks highly of me." Ah Jiu can't play chess. ”

At this time, Shangguan Qingliu raised his head, he frowned slightly and glanced at Ah Jiu, and twisted his long beard hanging on his chest: "No?" Isn't there anyone teaching you in King Su's Mansion? Aren't you memorable and well-read? Haven't you seen a chess game? ”

Ah Jiu smiled again and said lightly: "Don't grandfathers think it's too stupid to play chess alone?" ”

Shangguan Qingliu was stunned for a moment, his eyes flashed, but he nodded with a smile and said, "It's true, it's a little lonely, but if there is no opponent, wouldn't it be even more lonely?" ”

"Want an opponent? That's not easy. Ah Jiu smiled slightly, looked down at the endgame on the chessboard, and said, "But you want to solve the dilemma for white chess?" ”

"Exactly." Shangguan Qingliu narrowed his eyes.

"That's not easy." Ah Jiu took out a few white pieces from the chess box and replaced all the black pieces on the endgame, and immediately the situation of the chess game was reversed, and it turned out that the black chess pieces were forced into the end.

Ah Jiu threw the black chess pieces into the box, clapped his hands, looked at Shangguan Qingliu with a smile and said, "Look, this is not solved." ”

Unexpectedly, Ah Jiu's solution turned out to be this, Shangguan Qingliu was stunned, but shook his head and smiled: "You are not solving the problem, you are cheating!" ”

"Cheating?" Ah Jiu snorted coldly, "It is said that life is like chess, everyone can drop the bag, let alone a chess piece?" ”

Looking at Ah Jiu's flat expression, the smile on Shangguan Qingliu's face finally put away, and then raised his eyebrows and said: "Guifei Niangniang really hasn't let go yet, if you have any requirements, you can say it's okay......"
