"You have no regrets when you make a move. I have never seen anyone regret a move and cheat on it!"
Xie Yun stroked his beard.
Shen Moran saw the ceremony and said: "The prodigal son turns back, abandons evil and does good, and finds his way back, all of which are urging people to turn back. This game is not over yet, and the winner is not decided, so naturally he can regret it and start over again."
"I've never seen this before, sir. It's just that the people around you are all gentlemen. Naturally, you don't see such villainous behavior very often."
Xie Yun thought what she said was interesting, and asked: "Miss Shen, do you want to be a villain who regrets her son and comes back again?"
Shen Moran was not ashamed, picked up the black stones on the chessboard and put them back into the porcelain jar containing the chess pieces, then picked up another one and dropped it on the chessboard.
"The sage said: Only women and villains are difficult to raise. The behavior of the little girl is just as the sage said, and it is natural." She raised her eyes and looked at the young master opposite, and said with a smile, "Sir, it's your turn."
The young master looked at the drastically changed situation on the chessboard, picked up the white piece and dropped it.
This game of chess has been changed beyond recognition, and the result has no value or significance.
Shen Moran still lost.
"What is the significance of Miss Shen's move?"
The weather was too hot, so Xie Yun fanned herself vigorously with her cattail leaf fan, but the sweat on her forehead still disappeared. On the other hand, the young man opposite had a face that was pale and bloodless, and there was not a drop of sweat on his forehead or neck.
Shen Moran accidentally touched his sweaty palms, pursed her lips and chuckled: "The variables of one chess piece can affect the layout of the entire chess game. Although I lost two pieces, it also disrupted the chess game, no matter what the outcome is. , I didn’t lose either.”
Xie Yun shook his head and smiled: "Jin Yi, what do you think?"
The young master raised his hand and said: "Miss Shen looks at the problem from the perspective of a chess piece. For the person behind the scenes, the outcome is the most important."
Shen Moran retorted: "From the time a baby falls to the ground, to the time when two feet step into the coffin, some people's life is only a few days, but some people can live a hundred years. Everyone's ending is the same, and life's difficult circumstances are not worth mentioning. ? "
"In that case, why don't you just choose the ending?"
The young master choked and was laughed at by Xie Yun: "You have today too!"
Xie Yun was in a very good mood, not afraid of the scorching sun, and invited: "How about the next game between Miss Shen and me?"
"my pleasure."
The young man gave up his seat and sat aside.
Shen Moran wiped his sweat with a handkerchief, glanced at him from the corner of his eye, and asked tentatively: "Isn't the young master hot? He doesn't have a drop of sweat, and his face is so pale. Is there some hidden disease?"
There wasn't a drop of sweat on his face, but his palms were moist. She was sure that this person was wearing a mask.
Of course, Zhou Zhan is hot under the mask, but he still has to endure being connoted by her.
"Miss Shen cares so much about me. Aren't you afraid that your fiancé will be jealous?"
Shen Moran stopped playing chess and turned to look at him.
"Young Master, do you think my tone just now sounded like concern?" She smiled lightly, her eyes fell on the chessboard again, and the black piece fell, "Young Master and I have never met, it was just a few polite words, Young Master, there is no need to be grateful."
Sharp teeth and sharp mouth!
Zhou Zhan was silent for two breaths, and there were already changes on the chessboard.
Shen Moran's chess moves were inexplicable, and he couldn't figure out the clue at all.
It wasn't until the second half of the game that he saw the trick.
She didn't have a layout at the beginning. She dug a hoe in the east and dug a hole in the west. It was very casual. But if you look closely, you can see that every move was cleverly arranged. She made adjustments at any time according to the opponent's chess path. In the end, she actually showed an encirclement pattern. trend.
If polished, it will definitely be a good game!
It's a pity that chess players don't care about gains and losses, so they are forced into a tight siege by white.
"You lost." Xie Yun stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Miss Shen's chess style is very novel. I really want to play a few more games!"
The young man who led Shen Moran over raised his hands and said, "Sir, the food is ready."
Xie Yun stood up and straightened his clothes. The cotton gown he was wearing was soaked with sweat and stuck to his body.
"I'm sorry." He ordered while waving the cattail leaf fan, "Zi Yan, take a few guests to the guest room to settle in. When it gets cooler after sunset, I will invite two distinguished guests to drink tea."
Shen Moran presented the box.
“Mr.
""Picture of Rivers and Mountains"?" Xie Yun was eager to give it a try, "I'm sorry, Ziyan, please put the painting away properly! I'll appreciate it after I take a bath and burn incense!"
"this way please!"
Xie Yun accepted the gift, and Shen Moran breathed a sigh of relief, but felt that it seemed too easy.
His guests today are also a bit strange.
"Miss……"
Bi Tao followed Shen Moran closely and came to a strange environment. She felt unsure.
The coachman was the escort arranged by Si Yiluo for her, and he followed them every step of the way. Shen Moran patted the back of Bi Tao's hand to comfort her, and looked up at the back of the young master, feeling a little familiar.
"This is the courtyard for receiving female guests. Just don't worry, Miss Shen. The food will be delivered to the room by servants later."
Shen Moran said thank you.
The room was in simple condition, but it was very clean. Bi Tao brought a basin of water, and Shen Moran washed her hands and washed her face. After a while, a little maid dressed very simply brought the food to her.
Ordinary farm side dishes.
It's hot at noon, and it's like a stove outside.
After dinner, the maid came in to clean up, and Shen Moran took the opportunity to ask her about it.
"What's the name of the young master today?"
The little maid shook her head and said, "I don't know."
Xie Yun called him Jin Yi today, and his tone of voice was intimate, which shows that the relationship between the two is unusual.
"Then does he come often?"
The little maid frowned and thought for a while.
"I don't come here often, maybe once every month or two. However, that young master always gives gifts to our husband during holidays. He must be his student. The slave came late, so I don't know for sure."
"Thank you."
Si Yiluo glanced at Bitao, who took out a broken piece of silver from her purse and handed it to her.
"Do you, sir, have many students?"
The little maid was very happy to receive the reward.
"I only know that there are many people coming to study, but my husband rarely accepts students. I will resign."
"Miss, please take a nap for a while." Bi Tao made the bed and said, "My servant will watch over you."
Shen Moran shook his head and chuckled, saying nothing.
On the other side, Zhou Zhan showed his true face and bowed his hands to Xie Yun.
"Sir, the time has not come yet? Are you not planning to go out yet?"
Xie Yunzheng is studying the "Picture of Rivers and Mountains".
"It is indeed the original work of the prince. Your fiancée has made full preparations to win over me. It is very good."
Zhou Zhan paused and sighed: "Sir, don't be deceived by her appearance."
Shen Moran used his name to recruit talents, and he didn't know whether to cry or laugh. If his father found out that she was secretly befriending courtiers, the blame would definitely be placed on him.
However, she may not be of the same mind as him.
"You are the direct grandson of the old Lord Protector. You have been in a difficult situation these years. I see it, but I can't do anything for you. You have to cross the hurdle from behind the scenes to the front of the stage. She may be your opportunity. !”
Zhou Zhan raised his eyes.
"Sir, he speaks very highly of her. But I'm worried that Shen Panxing has another agenda..."
"A woman obeys her father at home, her husband when she gets married, and her son after her husband's death. For most of her life, it is not her father, but her husband who establishes herself. Shen Anxing's calculation is nothing more than that you are weak. After helping you to seize the throne, the throne will fall. In the hands of the young emperor, he wanted to hold the emperor hostage and order the princes."
"But are you really frail?"
"Is this Miss Shen really willing to be her father's pawn?"
