Chapter 454 Please stick to your persistence(1/2)
After lunch, Zeng Yi was embarrassed to stay any longer. She had a deeper understanding of Li Mo. No wonder Professor Yu strongly recommended him. Perhaps Li Mo was the only hope to decipher the clues to the treasure left by his ancestor Zeng Guofan.
"Brother, are you going to the courtyard this afternoon?"
"I haven't visited grandpa and grandma since I came back. I'll go there in the afternoon." Li Mo said while clearing the table, "You can have some snacks on what classmate Zeng Yi said."
"I remember, let's go back to school first. Sister Yingying, let's go shopping together when we are free."
"Okay, bye."
After seeing the two of them off, Liu Yingying helped them clean up together: "Are you coming back to stay at night?"
"Not necessarily. Are you okay?"
"It's okay, I'm just asking. If you don't come back, I will go back to the dormitory. Anyway, the news from the crew is that they are temporarily disbanded. I don't think those roommates will keep asking to the end."
"You have nothing to do in the afternoon anyway. Why don't you come with me to my grandpa's house to meet you? They have always wanted to see you. It just so happens that my parents are coming to Shanghai in the afternoon and we will have dinner together in the evening."
"Isn't it appropriate for me to go?" Liu Yingying's eyes changed slightly.
"Are you afraid that you won't be allowed in or something? My parents haven't seen you for a long time, and maybe they will be very happy to see you. I will clean up here by myself, and you can go change clothes."
Only then did Liu Yingying put down any worries in her heart, smiled and quickly walked into the cloakroom and started picking out her clothes.
About twenty minutes later, Liu Yingying came out wearing light makeup and light green embroidered casual clothes. She turned around in front of Li Mo and asked anxiously: "Is this okay?"
Li Mo put down the book in his hand and looked up at her, feeling a little dazed for a moment.
"Isn't it a bit expensive? Don't you want me to change it again?"
"No, this one is pretty good. I've never seen you wear this style before. When did it look so fashionable and avant-garde?"
"Really?"
Liu Yingying was still worried and checked again and again.
Li Mo snapped his fingers and said: "Let's go."
Two cars had been parked at the entrance of the Shijia Courtyard. When he saw the license plate, Li Mo knew that Mr. Qin was coming. There was another car that he didn't know whose name it belonged to, maybe it belonged to some big boss he had never met before.
After getting out of the car, Li Mo looked back at Liu Yingying, who was still dawdling, and said with a busy smile: "This is my own home, why are you so nervous?"
Liu Yingying opened the door and got out of the car, looked up at the door of the courtyard, and whispered: "I'm a little panicked. I heard from dad that your grandpa is an old general and has a very strong aura."
"This is the first time I've seen you so nervous. Just stand next to me later. When you meet my grandparents, you will find that they are really kind and approachable. Don't be affected by what is shown on TV.
, which made me a little nervous. Take a few deep breaths and tell yourself that you are the omnipotent little superman Liu Yingying."
Liu Yingying took a few deep breaths, calmed herself down and said, "Xiao Mo, let's go."
The two walked into the yard. The aunt at home was setting up a rack in the corner, and the white-haired grandma was helping.
"grandmother."
Professor Yu looked back, smiled and stretched out his hands to him: "Let grandma give me a hug to see if she has lost weight."
"I'm not thinner, just a little darker."
The two hugged each other gently, and Li Mo put his face close to her and said, "Grandma, look at the skin on my face. It's almost peeled off due to the sun."
"Hahaha, it's good for a man to tan a little." Professor Yu pinched his face, "He said he's not thin, and he can even pinch out a layer of skin on his face. In the evening, grandma will make you soup. Eh, so beautiful.
Who is your baby?"
Professor Yu looked at Liu Yingying who was standing aside, and his eyes lit up. This girl was comparable to Qin Sirui. Since she came with Li Mo, her relationship must be relatively close.
"Grandma, let me introduce to you, this is Liu Yingying."
"Ah, your master's daughter Liu Yingying?" Professor Yu took a few steps forward, took her hand and said with a smile, "This baby is really beautiful. They say that women in the Jiangnan water towns are more judicious. Look at her appearance.
, you can squeeze out water with just a pinch."
Liu Yingying was very embarrassed when she was praised.
"Yingying, just call me grandma."
"Hello grandma."
"Okay, come on, let's go into the house."
In the living room of the main room, there were three old people drinking tea and playing chess.
"Old Shi, look who this is?"
Shi Lao's thoughts were interrupted and he turned around to look. His eyes swept over Li Mo and landed on the woman who followed him.
"Liu Yingying, the daughter of Master Xiao Mo's family."
Professor Yu will introduce it.
"Yingying, this is my grandpa." Li Mo introduced one of the old men to her.
"Hello, grandpa, my name is Liu Yingying."
"Okay, welcome." Shi Lao also smiled and said, "Sit anywhere, just like at home."
"Yingying, this is Grandpa Qin."
When Liu Yingying heard that his surname was Qin, she immediately thought of someone and shouted respectfully: "Hello, Grandpa Qin."
Mr. Qin nodded gently with a smile on his face.
Li Mo looked at the last old man. He was very strange. He had never seen him before.
"Xiao Mo, this is your Grandpa Fang." Shi Lao introduced him and pointed out his identity. It turned out to be Fang Wenjing's grandfather.
"Hello, Grandpa Fang."
"Hello, Grandpa Fang."
Liu Yingying followed Li Mo and shouted politely.
"Yingying, let's go to the study next door to chat. Let them continue playing chess here."
"Okay grandma." Liu Yingying also felt embarrassed to stay here. Professor Yu was really considerate.
"Yingying, you and grandma go and have a chat. I'll stay and watch chess."
After Liu Yingying and the others left, Mr. Qin looked at Li Mo and said, "A true gentleman is watching chess without saying a word. If your hands are itchy, you can play a game with your Grandpa Fang later."
"Grandpa Qin is right, you can watch chess, but you can't make a sound." Shi Lao also warned him that this kid is too strong in chess. He had played several games in the Qin family compound before, and both of them were killed.
He was killed and his armor was thrown away. This kid said innocently that he had never won a game of chess.
"Mr. Qin, is this kid very good at chess?"
Mr. Fang heard that Mr. Qin's tone was a little unusual. His chess skills were quite famous in the circle, and he was considered a top-notch master. Even he was afraid of Li Mo's chess skills, which meant that Li Mo's level was not ordinary.
of cleverness.
"I don't have to say whether you are strong or not. You will know after this game is over when you play a game."
Li Mo moved a chair and sat aside, watching and saying nothing, but no matter who made a move, there would always be an enigmatic smile on his face, which made the two old people have to think carefully about themselves again.
Is the chess move in the wrong position?
After about ten minutes, Shi Lao threw the chess piece away and admitted defeat.
"Shi Lao, you are very good at chess."
After winning a round, Mr. Qin began to feel proud.
"What can I do if I win? Why don't you and Xiao Mo also have a game?"
Li Mo nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, I'll do it."
Unexpectedly, Mr. Qin also threw away the black chess piece in his hand and said angrily: "I am old and have no energy. I'd better play a game with you next time when I have nothing."
"Grandpa, how about we play a game?" Li Mo turned to look at Shi Lao, looking forward to it.
"Who is playing chess with you? I want a drink of water. Mr. Fang, you and Xiao Mo can play a game to kill time."
"Okay, let me test how strong Xiao Mo's chess skills are." Mr. Fang still felt that the two of them were exaggerating, and they actually wished they could stay away from him.
After setting up the chessboard, Li Mo called and a new battle began.
After the courtesy, Mr. Fang took the first step, and the start was very regular, without so much fancy. Li Mo didn't think about it, and followed up in the formation.
The battle between the red and black sides, Chu and Han, was quite fierce. Old people all have the same habit of playing chess. They pick up a piece and hold it up high, and then with a crisp sound, the chess piece falls on the chessboard. Not to mention, this
The momentum is quite intimidating.
Li Mo didn't take it to heart, and continued to push forward lightly. The two went back and forth, devouring each other's chess pieces, but only ten minutes had passed, and a chess piece picked up by Mr. Fang could not fall for a long time.
"Shi Lao, your grandson is quite evil. I lost this game of chess. Xiao Mo, how about we play another game?"
"Stay with me to the end."
After another ten minutes or so, Mr. Fang and Mr. Qin just threw away the chess pieces in their hands and said listlessly: "It's such a big blow. It's really a big blow. Xiao Mo, who did you learn this chess game from?"
"My master, I never won a single game of chess with him, so I always thought that my chess skills were too bad."
"Your master is really a strange person, an incredible master in the world."
Since Li Mo had caught up, there was no need to continue the chess game. A few people sat at the coffee table and started drinking tea and chatting.
