The days passed, Jia Mengle talked about chess and chess with everyone in Lu Mansion all day long, and his life was comfortable, but in Guo Xueqin's opinion, this was a waste of time, "Childe, are we really here to play chess for Lu Yuanwai?"

"Yes, we're here for Lu Yuanwai's chess tournament. Jia Mengle said unabashedly.

"But ......" Guo Xueqin wanted to speak late, he wanted to remind Jia Mengle not to forget the purpose of this trip to the capital, but he was afraid of hurting Jia Mengle.

"What's wrong? It's not your character to spit out, you just say anything. Jia Mengle knew what she was going to say, "You want to remind me not to forget the big thing!"

"Yes, I really don't understand, what is the use of us here, except for playing chess with these people all day, we haven't done anything!" Guo Xueqin finally said what was in her heart.

"Yes, but what can I do besides playing chess? Could it be better to ask directly, this chess tournament was originally organized by Meng Xiaoyun and Lu Yuanwai, and he will come here sooner or later to check the preparations for the tournament, and then we will have a chance to contact him before we can start investigating from the side." Jia Mengle said confidently.

Where did Guo Xueqin think about it so much, she saw that yes Jia Mengle had nothing to do, how could she have thought that he had already arranged this matter in an orderly manner in his heart.

"Well, I've never thought about these things, I'm just a little anxious. Guo Xueqin was a little uncomfortable for her recklessness, and said softly.

"Everything is like a chess game, one step or two steps are not good chess, every step must consider the overall situation, take one step to see five moves, that can be regarded as a master in chess. "Jia Mengle combines things with the chess game seamlessly.

"Okay, I can't talk about you. Guo Xueqin sincerely admires Jia Mengle, his knowledge and personality are very perfect in her opinion.

"Everything in the world has its own laws of development, how can it be ...... according to your personal wishes?"

"Brother Jia, brother and sister!" When Jia Mengle and Guo Xueqin were talking, Lu Yuanwai shouted outside the door, and mistook Jia Mengle and Guo Xueqin for a couple, Jia Mengle hurriedly stood up and opened the door.

"Outside!"

"Let's go, I'll take you out into the streets and get some clothes. "Since Jia Mengle defeated Yu Shengshou in a game of chess, Lu Yuanwai attaches more importance to him, and invites him to walk on the street whenever he is free, which is a kind of respect for him, no, it is an exaggeration to say that respect, the most fundamental thing is to use it, leave him in Lu Mansion, and the chess competition will be more exciting.

"Okay, I'm also thinking about going around the capital!" Jia Mengle didn't ask Guo Xueqin's meaning, and walked out of the door, Guo Xueqin was a little embarrassed, she never thought that Lu Yuanwai would see herself as Jia Mengle...... What does this make him embarrassed?

Yes, Jia Mengle is sacred in her heart, just like the legendary prince, he is so perfect and so tall, but when Sun Xiangyuan was there, she watched them grinding their ears and temples, getting along day and night, and couldn't help but retreat, seeing him as her own brother, amiable, respectable and lovely, and hiding the love between men and women deep in the depths, maybe this is the greatest love.

"I said outsider, this is my sister, she is good friends with my brother, you can't joke around!" Jia Mengle whispered to Lu Yuanwai.

"I know this, but judging from her every move, he loves you!" Although Lu Yuanwai's words were whispered, Guo Xueqin could hear them clearly, "Otherwise, it would be impossible for people to come all the way to the capital with you." ”

Guo Xueqin listened, there was an indescribable feeling in her heart, at the beginning, she gave her heart to me Jia Mengle, but since she saw Sun Xiangyuan, she gave up completely, because she didn't want to make Jia Mengle and Sun Xiangyuan difficult because of herself, but now? She personally went to ask Sun Xiangyuan, and saw with her own eyes that Sun Xiangyuan resolutely rejected Jia Mengle, she didn't know why she came to the capital, but she knew one thing, although the enemy didn't talk much, she and he could communicate heart-to-heart, and they had already known each other's state of mind, but the life in the valley, the valley master, that is, the mother of the enemy of the world, was so arrogant and arrogant, and Guo Xueqin's ideal was far from Guo Xueqin's ideal. She left the Valley of Despair just to avoid her.

"I said brother and sister, go faster, it'll be dark in a while. "Lu Yuanwai is a person who has come over, and he is interested in combining Jia Mengle and Guo Xueqin.

"I'm not going, you can go!" Guo Xueqin said with some displeasure.

"What's wrong?" Jia Mengle couldn't help but be shocked when he heard that she wasn't going, and hurriedly turned around and walked over, asking in a low voice of concern.

"It's nothing, you guys go!" Guo Xueqin didn't know what to say, Lu Yuan had a "younger brother and sister" outside the sky, and a "younger brother and sister" made her feel uncomfortable.

"You don't say that you are in this mansion all day long, how can you find out about Meng Xiaoyun? Now that you have the opportunity to go out, how can you play a child's temper?" Jia Mengle knew Guo Xueqin's mood at this moment, so that she was bored in the mansion alone. "Let's go, Lu Yuanwai is such an informal person, don't take it to heart. Jia Mengle almost pleaded.

Guo Xueqin was at a loss, so she could only follow, they walked through the compound, and everyone cast envious glances, "Hello outside!" "Childe wants to go out?...... The greetings made Jia Mengle a little uncomfortable, he won the respect of everyone with his own strength, respect for others can't give you, you can only rely on yourself to fight.

The servants hurriedly left the Lu Mansion and walked towards the bustling street, the foot of the imperial city was different, bustling, people and merchants were shuttling through the streets, and the noisy shouting and selling made the atmosphere very lively.

"How's that? Tell me what you like. Lu Yuanwai saw that the two liked it, and he couldn't help but feel proud.

"Thanks, nothing, we're just looking at the fun. Jia Mengle said a little embarrassed.

"Oh, don't be polite to me, if you don't like it, it doesn't mean that Miss Guo doesn't like it either!" Lu Yuanwai knew that he was joking a little big when he went out, so he had to change his name to Miss Guo at this time.

"Thank you, I'm just looking at it. The two of them had to walk away from the shop after being reminded by Lu Yuanwai.

"You guys, what's this, just say it if you like, don't be polite to me. Lu Yuanwai was a cheerful person, but he didn't think much about it, and said bluntly.

"Don't joke outside the staff, let's just see the excitement, let's go!" Jia Mengle said, walking through the crowd with Lu Yuanwai, strolling from Dongcheng to Xicheng, and suddenly a scene flashed in front of him that attracted Jia Mengle.

It was a secluded corner, an old man in tattered clothes was squatting on the ground, his hands were in his sleeves, trembling, and there were two blurred calligraphy and paintings in front of him, Jia Mengle stepped forward, looked at the paintings on the ground, looked at the old man squatting on the ground, and couldn't help asking. "Old man, you want to sell this painting?"

"The family lives in the east of the city, there are no children in the family, and now the wife is sick in bed, so I am helpless, so I take out the two calligraphy and paintings handed down by my ancestors, and see if I can sell them for a few dollars to treat my wife. The old man trembled and stammered, but he understood the meaning.

"How do you sell these two paintings and calligraphy?" Jia Mengle came back to his senses and looked at the two paintings and calligraphy on the ground again.

"I'm a farmer, I don't know if it's a 'one' when I put it down, this is handed down by my ancestors, and I don't know how much it's worth. The old man wiped the snot that was about to fall to his mouth and said.

"That's it, old man, I have fifty taels of silver here, you take it, how about giving these two paintings away?" Jia Mengle said with a smile.

"This ...... This ......," the old man continued, "if it weren't for my wife's illness, I wouldn't want to sell my ancestors' things and become this unworthy descendant." ”

"Old man, what you said is wrong, I didn't say that you sold it with you, I gave you fifty taels of silver, and you gave it to the next two pictures, each with its own income, how can you say that you are not a descendant and sell the things of your ancestors?"

"But, these fifty taels ......" The old man obviously thought that there was less silver, so he said this.

"Old man, you have to have pity on me, I am also a foreigner, and I don't have much silver taels on me, these fifty taels are all my belongings. Jia Mengle pleaded.

"Oh, I said you old man, aren't you just two broken paintings, how much is it, hurry up, what is not a good thing, make a price, since my brother likes it, I will buy it." "Lu Yuanwai is a hearty person, and he doesn't know anything about calligraphy and painting, so he took the painting with one hand, looked at it and looked at it, but he couldn't see where it was valuable.

The old man looked at the servant in front of him, and cautiously stretched out his index finger, "One hundred taels? You still have a hundred taels of broken paintings, are you really robbing people?" Lu Yuanwai looked at the old man, and then at two pieces of tattered paper.

"No, you misunderstood, officer, it's not a hundred taels, it's a thousand taels!" the old man said in a low voice.

"What? 1,000 taels? You really take these two broken paintings of yours as treasures, don't you? It was my brother who saw that you were pitiful, so he gave you fifty taels of silver, and I don't want to pay one tael of silver, and one tael of silver on the street can buy a large turn of new paper, in my opinion, the new paper is much stronger than your broken paper. Lu Yuanwai looked like a person who did business, crackling is a pass, and said that the two paintings were worthless, "In this way, it's just one hundred taels, my brother likes it, you like to sell it or not, don't sell it and pull it down." ”

Lu Yuanwai said, put the painting in his hand back to its original place, and stood up, "I didn't expect my brother to like this, go, I'll take you to Haowen Pavilion, where it specializes in selling all kinds of calligraphy and paintings." ”

Jia Mengle hesitated a little, looked at the two paintings on the ground repeatedly, and reluctantly followed Lu Yuanwai over.

"Three guest officers, come on, there is no way, you need money urgently, just one hundred taels!" they walked about ten steps, and the old man shouted behind them.

Lu Yuanwai smiled evilly at Jia Mengle, with a treacherous smile in his eyes, turned around and walked up, "You old man, it's true, you didn't sell it just now, okay, it's just one hundred taels." Lu Yuanwai took out a hundred taels and handed it to the old man, picked up the paintings on the ground, and disappeared into the crowd with Jia Mengle.
