She was afraid that Gu Jinyan was not familiar with Duke Yan's palace and that the servants would look down on her. It was the first time that Meng Yun had a friend who admired and liked her so much. She had the same style as Duke Yan's palace. Because of this, she was particularly interested in her.
.
It was also the first time for Gu Jinyan to go to another mansion alone, and it was the Yanguo Duke's mansion. He was still a little nervous at first, but when he saw Meng Yun, those worries were gone.
Meng Yun took her hand: "Jinyan, let's go to my yard. I have already said hello to my grandfather, grandmother, and father and mother."
Gu Jinyan breathed a sigh of relief again.
Otherwise, she would be really nervous when facing the elders of Duke Yan directly.
"Ayun, why did you call me here today?" Gu Jinyan asked.
"Do you remember the chessboard from that day? My grandfather saw it and didn't believe it was the work of a boudoir lady. My father and some of his friends were also there. Everyone thought so. I argued hard and finally decided that the two of us would play
Those old stubborns give it a try." County Master Meng Yun said with an expression of reluctance to admit defeat: "Jinyan, don't feel pressured."
"We don't have to say that we will definitely win, just do our best. Grandpa and the others are not people who only look at winning or losing. As long as their chess skills are recognized, it is the same."
Gu Jinyan nodded. In fact, she was already prepared when she came.
In this life, no matter what she faces, she should not be afraid. This is the foundation of how she should behave.
"Just in time, I invited the regent to come over, and the three of us will practice for the next two days." Meng Yun had a serious expression on his face.
Xiao Yuheng?
He is quite a suitable person to play chess with.
In addition to her master, many of her chess skills were gradually improved through playing games with Xiao Yuheng.
Xiao Yuheng came over when they arrived at Meng Yun's yard.
My face looked a little stinky when I arrived.
Only when he went back yesterday did he realize that it was his own fault.
He insisted on recommending himself in front of Meng Yun to be his sparring partner, but Meng Yun's personal maid hurriedly came over yesterday, and Xiaochun interrupted him.
That's why he felt very depressed.
I haven't finished what I wanted to say.
"Jinyan, don't mind. He has been like this since he was a child. His face looks stinky as if someone owes him something, so at such an old age, there is no woman to marry him." Meng Yun explained.
Gu Jinyan couldn't help but laugh.
Ayun’s description is so apt!
Xiao Yuheng glared at Meng Yun.
Who says he has no woman to marry?
Isn't there someone in front of him who likes him very much?
It's just that this woman is timid and doesn't dare to say anything if she likes it.
He didn't bother to expose that this woman was sometimes thick-skinned and sometimes thin-skinned.
Meng Yun took out the chessboard.
The three people began to exchange opponents and play chess.
After eating a few dishes, Gu Jinyan felt a little hungry, so she ate snacks in small bites. The snacks in Yan Gongguo Mansion were very delicious, but the snacks given to her by Zheng were not delicious. The ones from her grandmother's place were also delicious, but maybe she didn't like them very much.
When eating these, there are few changes, but the ones here in Ayun have many flavors.
When Gu Jinyan was full, it was her turn.
Xiao Yuheng looked at the snacks on the plate with disgust. What's so delicious about these snacks? This woman still eats them with gusto?
I really can't figure it out.
However, Xiao Yuheng's hands were more upright than his heart, and he unconsciously took one in his mouth.
Before I knew it, I ate several.
Gu Jinyan happened to come down and was speechless when he saw Xiao Yuheng...
Such a big man.
He also said that the regent, who was decisive in killing people, acted like a child, eating snacks and still getting dirt on his mouth.
Reluctantly, he took out his handkerchief and handed it to Xiao Yuheng.
Xiao Yuheng looked at this brocade handkerchief with words embroidered on it. He was stunned at first, and then his face turned red.
When A Niang was still alive, she told him that if a woman likes a person, she will give him her veil.
Is this woman Gu Jinyan giving her a veil?
Is this because I can't help but express my feelings?
That’s all.
She was so proactive, how could he not accept her offer?
He stuffed the handkerchief directly into his arms, stood up and sat down on the chessboard.
Good guy!
Gu Jinyan just wanted to say something nice!
He was too embarrassed to wipe it off, so why did he just take his own brocade handkerchief? Is there a shortage of brocade handkerchiefs in the Regent's Palace?
Gu Jinyan's eyes widened.
Xiao Yuheng frowned slightly, why are there so many people here?
Do you want to respond to something yourself?
It doesn't matter if he's a man, but it's not too bad if she's a girl, right?
Xiao Yuheng nodded slightly, signaling her to be patient and he would give her an answer.
Gu Jinyan was speechless.
Pointing to the corner of his mouth, he looked really embarrassed.
For such a grown-up person, it’s okay to touch his mouth and just take the handkerchief away.
He sat down angrily and continued eating snacks.
The tea at Yanguo Gongfu is also delicious.
I want to come and play with Ayun more often in the future!
This is what it feels like to make friends.
Gu Jinyan found it very strange. She had never experienced it in her previous life, and when she tried to experience it later, she could not get out of Zhuangzi.
The three of them played chess until dark.
Meng Yun then quickly asked them to go back.
Come back the next day.
Gu Jinyan was also so tired that her back ached.
It's been a long time since I had such a long time to play chess.
After returning to Zhangzhu Pavilion, Aunt Ying came not long after, bringing soup: "Second Miss, the old lady is afraid that you will be hungry at night, so I brought you some soup to make up for it."
"Grandma prepared soup for me?" Gu Jinyan was overjoyed and surprised.
It was the first time someone prepared soup for her.
My father treated her well, but he was a rough man. His good thing was to arrange loyal servants for himself and to choose a husband for her.
I don't think about these detailed things.
So Gu Jinyan felt that this feeling was surprising and warm at the same time.
She feels like home.
In front of Aunt Ying, Gu Jinyan drank all the soup.
"Aunt Ying, thank my grandmother for me." Gu Jinyan said with tears in her eyes: "Tomorrow I have to go to County Master Meng Yun, and the day after tomorrow I have to play chess with Duke Yan, old Duke, and Duke Yan's friends.
, I will practice hard with Meng Yun tomorrow."
"I can't spend time with my grandmother these days."
Gu Jinyan also politely rewarded Aunt Ying.
But she didn't have much money, so she gave her a piece of jewelry that Aunt Ying could use.
Aunt Ying was unwilling to accept it, so Gu Jinyan said, "Aunt Ying, you look good wearing this."
Aunt Ying had no choice but to keep it.
When he returned, he told the truth.
The old lady glanced at her and said, "Don't tell me, Jin Yan has a good sense of taste and it does look good on you."
Aunt Ying looked at the bronze mirror.
When giving rewards to servants, the masters reward them based on their value.
This is the first time a second lady has done this, because it is suitable for her.
This second young lady is really a wonderful person.
"The second young lady said that she can't come to accompany the old lady these days. She will compete with Duke Yan, old Duke and others in chess the next day," Aunt Ying conveyed.
"What?" The old lady sat up from her stool in shock.
