Chapter 297: Cai Gongchen

"You girl, skinny!"

The old man pretended to glance at her when he heard this, but the smile on his face became more and more intense.

On the other side, the middle-aged man looked at the two young men who suddenly appeared and looked at them curiously, but did not speak.

Ning Hongxiang walked up to the old man and said with a smile:

"Isn't that Grandpa Cai used to me? Otherwise, how dare you make up red? ”

Cai Gongchen sighed and said:

"Yes, who told me to have no children and no daughters all my life, and I have always treated you little girl as my own granddaughter, otherwise who would dare to treat me so little or not?"

After speaking, he looked at Ning Hongxiang and asked:

"By the way, how is your grandfather's old thing, is he still alive?"

Ning Hongxiang didn't get angry when she heard these words that slandered her grandfather, but replied:

"Thanks to you, my grandfather is in good health."

"Don't, your grandfather's life is harder than mine, the last time I saw him, he was almost gone, I was ready to eat, who knew he would be fine again."

Cai Gongchen shook his head and said.

recalled the last time he saw Ning Rulong, it was more than half a year ago, when he learned that Ning Rulong's health was deteriorating, it made him anxious.

Don't look at his mouth damage, but after all, the two old brothers were born and died together at the beginning, and whoever left first would not feel good about the other party.

"Grandpa Cai, if you want to have a banquet, you can arrange red makeup at any time, why wait for my grandfather?"

Ning Hongxiang replied with a smile.

"You don't understand, it's not the same......"

Cai Gongchen shook his head, as if he wanted to say something, but finally held back his next words, and then looked at the middle-aged man opposite and said:

"Zhongren, let me introduce you, this is the granddaughter of Ning Rulong's old guy, Ning Hong's makeup."

After speaking, he said to Ning Hong:

"Ning girl, this is the newly appointed head of our Jiangnan Province, and he is also the student I brought out by hand, Zhang Zhongren, you can call Uncle Zhang."

The new provincial governor?

Ning Hongxiang was shocked when she heard this, and then hurriedly took the initiative to stretch out her hand to look at Zhang Zhongren and said:

"Hello Uncle Zhang, junior Ning Hong, please take care of me."

"Hehe, Miss Ning is polite. I have long heard of your grandfather's name, the god of war of the Jiangnan Military Department, and a national hero! It stands to reason that I should visit his old man's house, but I just took office and have a lot of things to deal with, so I delayed it, and I hope that Miss Ning will explain to Ning Lao after she goes back. ”

Zhang Zhongren stretched out his hand and shook it, and said modestly.

"Uncle Zhang is polite, I will definitely bring your words."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Cai Gongchen and said:

"Old Cai, since that's the case, then I won't disturb the two of you chatting, I'll leave first, and I'll come to see you again when I have the chance."

Cai Gongchen nodded:

"It's okay, Zhongren, it's still the same sentence, if you don't make decisions for the people, it's better to go home and sell sweet potatoes! The interests of the country and the people are always paramount, although the words are rough but the reason is not rough, you must remember it, you know? ”

Zhang Zhongren bent down slightly and nodded and said seriously:

"Zhongren will definitely take it to heart!"

After Zhang Zhongren left, there were only three of them left in the pavilion.

At this time, Cai Gongchen noticed Jiang Tian, who had not spoken all the time.

"Hey, who is this?"

He looked at Jiang Tian curiously and asked.

Ning Hongmakeup introduced:

"Grandpa Cai, this is my friend, his name is Jiang Tian."

"Friends?"

Cai Gongchen smiled thoughtfully and teased:

"It can't be your boyfriend, right?"

Swish!

Hearing this, Ning Hong's little face suddenly turned red, and he hurriedly said:

"Grandpa Cai, you misunderstood, he's just my ordinary friend!"

Cai Gongchen smiled when he saw this, and then said to Jiang Tiandao:

"Sit down, young man."

Jiang Tian was not polite, nodded, and then sat opposite.

Cai Gongchen didn't seem to be in a hurry to ask why Ning Hongxiang came to him, but looked at Jiang Tian with interest and asked:

"Young man, do you know how to play chess?"

"I understand it."

Jiang Tian glanced at the chessboard in front of him and nodded.

"So let's kill a game?"

Cai Gongchen's eyes lit up.

Jiang Tian shook his head and said, "No, this time Miss Ning is looking for you on business, so don't waste time." ”

Cai Gongchen said:

"Eh, I'll talk about it later, Ning girl won't mind!"

Jiang Tian frowned and glanced at Ning Hongxiang, and when he saw that the other party was also smiling helplessly, he didn't say anything anymore, and set up the chess game and killed.

However, what Cai Gongchen never expected was that he was known as the first chess god of Qiushui Villa, and he actually lost in the first round!

He looked at the chessboard that had become a dead game, and his old face couldn't believe it.

"Old man Cai, I agreed."

Jiang Tianhe interrupted his gaze from the chess game, and said with a light smile: "Next, isn't it time for you to talk about business?" ”

"Eh, don't go to chess."

Cai Gongchen hurriedly intervened to stop it, but he was still a step too late.

"How could it be, I was obviously playing steadily just now, why did I lose in a blink of an eye?"

He frowned and looked at the already chaotic chessboard, and then said unconvinced: "Come again, do it again!" Best of 3 games! ”

Jiang Tian stretched out his hand and pressed the chessboard and said, "Old Man Cai, just now you said that you would only kill one." ”

Cai Gongchen frowned and said:

"Young man, how can there be a reason to play chess? I was careless just now, I won't let you do this! ”

Jiang Tian smiled: "Of course I know that you are good at chess, but we are not here to play chess this time. ”

"I know, in this way, let's do it again, as long as you can still win me, we'll talk about business!"

Cai Gongchen is stubborn.

Ning Hongxiang next to him couldn't stand it anymore, so he walked up to Jiang Tian and whispered:

"Jiang Tian, you can accompany him, he is a chess idiot, he will not let go if he doesn't play cool, just help me, okay."

Jiang Tian groaned for a moment when he heard this, and for the sake of Ning Hong's face, he put it on the chessboard again.

This time, Cai Gongchen was obviously a lot more careful, and he thought for a long time about almost every next step.

On the other hand, Jiang Tian was able to react quickly.

As the two of them went deeper and deeper, gradually Cai Gongchen seemed to notice Jiang Tian's law, and saw him laugh and say:

"Young man, you play chess very fiercely, but you only attack but don't defend, don't you know, it's easy to fall behind?"

Jiang Tian sat opposite with a calm face and said:

"Why guard? It's a good situation, why should I waste my time? ”

"A good situation? Are you sure? ”

Cai Gongchen smiled, and then looked at Jiang Tiandao: "Young man, then if I come here, how should you deal with it?" Your big tent of the Chinese army is about to be gone. ”

After speaking, he even picked up the teacup next to him and took a sip and continued:

"To be honest, your chess skills are indeed good, but you are too aggressive, and sometimes, young people have to learn to be more restrained."

Ning Hongxiang next to her couldn't read chess, but when she heard this, she also knew that Jiang Tian must have lost this game.

Seeing that Jiang Tian was silent, Ning Hongxiang hurriedly comforted:

"Jiang Tian, Grandpa Cai has been immersed in chess for decades, and even many chess masters recognize him, you are not ashamed to lose."

"Lose? Who said I lost? ”

Hearing the inexplicable words of the two, Jiang Tian smiled faintly.

The next second, he picked up a chess piece and landed in an unexpected position.

"Old Man Cai, then if I come here, how will you deal with it?"

He looked at Cai Gongchen with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Poof!"

Cai Gongchen, who was originally still a sure winner, after seeing Jiang Tian's hand, he couldn't help but squirt out a sip of tea.

He didn't care about any face, he hurriedly put down the teacup and leaned over to look at the chessboard on the table, muttering to himself:

"How is that possible, how can this be?"

Jiang Tian stood up amusefully and said:

"Okay, Old Man Cai, you lost again, let's talk about business!"
