There was a look of overjoyed on his face: "This is a great thing, it is the glory of our Gu family! Playing chess with Duke Yan and others, none of the ladies in Kyoto have such an honor. I think the old Duke was a great chess player back then.
Even the emperor has to express his admiration for his existence."
Not to mention Jin Yu is the destined phoenix girl, even Jin Yu has never had such qualifications.
What's more, the ladies and princesses of White Deer Academy.
Regardless of winning or losing, as long as it is recognized, the recognition of the Duke of Yan is already crucial, and it is also the honor of their Gu family.
It's something she can show off in front of a group of older ladies.
"Today we still have to prepare soup and look for some very nourishing soup." The old lady said, "If you are still with Jinyan, don't mention this matter. Don't put too much pressure on Jinyan or give her too much pressure."
pressure."
Aunt Ying nodded quickly.
Speaking of which.
The old lady was still a little uneasy, and continued to warn: "Jinyan is telling you this, this is trust, so try not to reveal this matter to anyone, especially Zheng, who has never seen her looking forward to Jinyan."
Say something nice."
The old lady has no confidence in Zheng at all.
I have no idea what Mr. Zheng was thinking.
After thinking about everything carefully, the old lady felt at ease.
It's been a long time since I had such a mentality, as if I was planning something for my daughter.
On the second day, their game became much more anxious, and they even stopped chatting. The three of them were seriously facing the unpredictable chess game. The real competition was also cruel, and no one would give in to anyone.
"Tomorrow's competition, Meng Yun, you need to have a good attitude. Your chess skills have improved a lot during this period, but it's a little difficult to completely defeat those old guys. It's no problem to win one or two. Now at the beginning, your
Keep your mind at ease, you will go first tomorrow." Xiao Yuheng began to make careful arrangements and instructions.
Also treat this matter as a big deal and arrange it.
"Miss Gu Er, you should be able to win tomorrow, but if you face the old prince, you still have to be more modest. A draw is the best," Xiao Yuheng said.
Although I strive to win this chess game, no matter what, I cannot show off my edge.
"Are you so optimistic? You actually think Jinyan can beat his grandfather?" Meng Yun asked in surprise.
Xiao Yuheng nodded.
When Gu Jinyan plays chess, she doesn't look like a little girl at all. Every move she makes is a trap. She looks gentle and mediocre, but there is a huge murderous intention hidden inside.
He actually felt that he and the old prince might really be able to defeat the emperor.
But winning now is not suitable for her at this age.
Hiding oneself at the right time is also a strategy.
Meng Yun began to look forward to it.
Over the years, she has learned and played chess just to silence the crowd.
Those old guys taught her how to play chess and played against her, but in their hearts and in their occasional words, they still felt that women like her played chess just to kill time. Meng Yun could compare with other women and
A man who is not proficient in chess, but a man who is proficient in chess, she has no chance.
She wants to prove this, but she can't at the moment.
Is it okay if I say so?
Meng Yun looked at Gu Jinyan with sparkling eyes.
I can't wait to start competing right away.
The second day.
Meng Yun's dress was also more serious, and Gu Jinyan was also dressed neatly. Meng Yun was still the same. He first picked up Gu Jinyan, and then took her to introduce her to everyone in the Duke's Mansion.
The regent Xiao Yuheng was already there. He did not participate in the chess game and was regarded as a witness.
"By the way, this is my grandfather, this is my father Duke Yan, this is Duke Xian, this is the elder of Qiange, this is the Minister of Guanglu Temple, and this is the Weiwei of Weiwei Temple."
Meng Yun introduced them one by one.
Gu Jinyan bowed every time, neither humble nor overbearing, and his manners were generous.
I was a little nervous in my heart, but it didn't show on my face.
The old prince looked at Gu Jinyan, who was thin and small. In front of his granddaughter, he looked even more like a gentle young lady.
Is that chessboard her handiwork?
I really can't tell.
In today's battle, I feel like I'm being bullied.
He only knew that she was the daughter of a minister, and that Gu Kaiji was rough and stingy. He didn't expect that his daughter was such a delicate and frail young lady.
He came to take care of Gu Kaiji's formation.
The old man secretly poked Meng Yun: "Are you okay? You can't bully a little girl to cry, right?"
Meng Yun looked at his grandfather and couldn't help complaining in his heart. It was hard to say who would cry when the time came.
On his face, he said calmly: "Jinyan is not the kind of person who can't afford to lose. You can play whatever you want. If we lose, we just accept the bet and accept it."
"Girl Meng Yun, we are all people with important positions. So many people came here today just to fight for a moment for you, a little girl. We can't waste our time in vain. Since it is a competition, it is
Don't you want to add some luck?" Mr. Qiange said.
Meng Yun curled his lips.
What Lao Ge Lao said about having an important position is really empty talk.
With so many people, he was the only one who had nothing to do at home.
"Lao Ge Lao, what kind of bonus do you want?" Meng Yun asked.
"You little girl have always boasted that you are young and cannot compete with us. You have never admitted it. If you lose today, you will admit that you are not good at chess." Lao Ge gave a shrewd and calculating smile.
Meng Yun nodded sharply and agreed.
but.
She promised it was her promise.
Meng Yun looked at Gu Jinyan: "Jinyan, what do you think, how should I say the lottery?"
"I always lose when I lose. This bet is okay, but it's not interesting." Gu Jinyan said.
Lao Ge Lao didn't expect that the little girl was so young and had a louder tone than Meng Yun. He suddenly became interested: "Tell me, little girl, what kind of bet do you want?"
"Ten thousand taels of silver bet, I mean ten thousand taels per person." Gu Jinyan said.
After saying that, Gu Jinyan secretly wondered if he could earn some money today.
Otherwise, so much time would have been wasted.
????
Lao Ge Lao looked confused.
Why is this little girl even weirder than this girl Meng Yun?
Want some silver?
As a little girl, she wants to ask for favors or a good marriage, which one is not better than money?
"Sure." Laoge Lao responded.
Others also agreed.
Ten thousand taels is a lot, mainly because they don't think they can lose.
Now that it's settled.
Duke Yan then began to explain the rules: "We are on one side, and you two little girls are on the same side."
"Let's play chess, one against one. The loser will give ten thousand taels to the winner. There are more of us, so we are bullying others, so you can choose your opponent."
Meng Yun decided to go first.
She wasn't someone who wanted to save face and suffer hardship, so she directly chose Lord Wei, who was more successful.
"Little girl, my chess skills are weaker, but you can't beat me. If you two can beat me in a game, I will express my admiration." Sir Wei Wei said.
