The old man's courtyard is in Qingsong Garden at the northern end of Shangguan Mansion, which is exactly the same as Ajiu's Qingyin Courtyard at the southern end.

However, although they are one south and one north, although the two courtyards are also very clean, the old lady Shangguan Qingliu's place is much cleaner and more elegant. The decoration also reveals low-key luxury, and there is no large cemetery guarding it.

Riding in a small sedan, Ah Jiu walked for a quarter of an hour from Qingyin Yuan to the entrance of Qingsong Yuan.

However, just as she got off the sedan, several burly young men came out from Qingsong Garden and led another sedan carrying Shangguan Feng to the corner gate on the side.

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

Ah Jiu is not surprised that they know this. What she wants to know most now is what her grandfather, who is already semi-reclusive, wants to do next!

While thinking about it, Ah Jiu was led by a white-haired old servant, walking slowly along the winding corridor to Haizi Hall in Qingsong Garden. It took about a stick of incense to lead her to Haizi Hall.

Hall entrance.

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

However, as soon as he entered the house, Ah Jiu saw an old man with white hair and beard sitting in front of a plate of game. He seemed to be thinking hard about something. Ah Jiu had only met Shangguan Qingliu a few times since he was a child.

Ah Jiu was struggling with how to greet her long-lost grandfather, but before she could speak, Shangguan Qingliu said without raising her head: "Jiu'er came at the right time. I have been thinking about this game for a long time but I still can't break it.

You just happened to come and help me take a look."

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

Ah Jiu's eyes flashed, then he slowly walked forward, looked down at the end game, smiled slightly and said, "Grandpa really thinks highly of me. Ah Jiu can't play chess."

At this time, Shangguan Qingliu raised his head, frowned slightly and glanced at Ah Jiu, twirling his long beard hanging on his chest: "No? Isn't there no one in Prince Su's Mansion to teach you? Aren't you?

You have a photographic memory and are well-read? Have you never read chess records?"

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

Shangguan Qingliu was stunned, his eyes flashed, but he smiled and nodded: "Indeed, it is a bit lonely, but wouldn't it be even more lonely if there were no opponents?"

"You 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 help white's trouble?"

"Exactly." Shangguan Qingliu narrowed his eyes.

"That's not easy." Ah Jiu took out a few white stones from the chess box and replaced all the black stones on the end game. Immediately, the situation of the chess game was completely reversed, and it turned out that black was forced to the end.

Ah Jiu threw the black chess piece into the box, clapped his hands, looked at Shangguan Qingliu with a smile and said, "Look, this is solved."

He never expected that Ah Jiu's solution would be this. Shangguan Qingliu was stunned, but shook his head and said with a smile: "You are not solving the problem, you are cheating!"

"Cheating?" Ah Jiu snorted coldly, "They say life is like chess, everyone can cheat, let alone a chess piece?"
