bright moon goes west

"What are you talking about, so lively?" A gentle and sweet female voice came from the second floor.

Chen Xi threw away the chess pieces in his hand, and strode towards the stairs.

Chen Shaoxing stood up quickly, and said hello respectfully: "Auntie."

"Has Shaoxing come?" Heng'e's face was flushed just after waking up, with a smile on her face, and her bright eyes were like stars in the sky.

Chen Xi went all the way to meet the person on the steps, took him over from the hand of the maid, and smiled with his deep black eyes: "Why don't you sleep a little longer?"

Heng'e gave Chen Xi a reproachful look: "If you sleep any longer, it will be dark." Fortunately, it is summer now, and the sky is slowly getting dark.

"You are resting for our son now." Chen Xi raised her brows, and her eyes were filled with pride.

Chen Xi has always kept the great event of his wife's pregnancy a secret, but now, in front of his two closest confidants, Chen Xi can be considered to show off for a while.

Chen Shaoxing only took one look at Cui Hang'e, and he could see that she had a different figure. Now that he heard Chen Xi's words, he was finally able to congratulate him openly and honestly: "Congratulations to Uncle, Congratulations to Aunt, I will have a little cousin soon .”

Heng'e bent the corners of her lips, and there was a faint joy in her bright eyes.

"Shaoling, now we are here, you are the only one left who hasn't even resolved the major issues of life." Chen Xizhi said complacently.He obviously forgot that he was tortured by Cui Heng'e's indifference and almost collapsed, so he always went to Gao Ling for a drink.

Gao Ling didn't like Chen Xi's complacent look, and said meaningfully: "Don't our army assign wives? Why don't you assign me one too."

"I can't help you here, you have to ask your siblings." Chen Xi helped Hang'e to sit on the sofa, and handed him a cup of warm milk.

It turned out that these two people were waiting for him here.Heng'e smiled slightly, with a bit of difficulty on her face: "I'm not familiar with the ladies in the capital, so I might as well give it to Shaoxing's daughter-in-law. She must know a lot of ladies."

"Hi, Auntie." Wang Yunfeng came in from outside holding a bouquet of roses.Seeing Heng'e appearing in the living room, he quickly handed the flowers to the servants and saluted Heng'e respectfully.

"This really means that Cao Cao is here." Hang'e held Wang Yunfeng's hand cordially, and said with a smile, "Feng Niang came just in time. If you know an outstanding lady, you might as well help Director Gao lead the way."

Wang Yunfeng was stunned for a moment, not understanding the situation.

Gao Ling rubbed his nose, with a bit of embarrassment on his face: "Daughter-in-law Shaoxing, don't listen to your cousin's nonsense."

"Hehe, Shixiong, who asked Bo Yu and me to find you a wife just now?" Heng'e raised her eyebrows, and dared to say that she was talking nonsense, she would never let Gao Ling get her wish easily.

"Sisters and sisters, I am talking nonsense, you adults don't remember the faults of villains." Gao Ling also reacted now, the words just now offended Cui Hang'e again.

Heng'e snorted.His eyes fell on the nanmu embossed Ganoderma lucidum plate Chi Arhat couch, on which was a small kang table with a chessboard on it, most of the chess pieces had been collected, and there was only a leftover game.

"Hey, who is holding the white stone?"

Seeing that Cui Heng'e had diverted his attention, Gao Ling couldn't help secretly heaving a sigh of relief, and hurriedly replied: "Shaoxing holds the white pieces, Bo Yu holds the black pieces, Bo Yu hasn't played chess for a long time, he regressed, and lost to Shaoxing Yimu."

Heng'e covered her mouth and laughed silently.She can be regarded as knowing the level of Go of Chen Xi and Gao Ling.

"It's just a glance, next time we must convince Shaoxing to lose." Chen Xi said confidently after losing the chess, feeling a little embarrassed in front of Heng'e.

Heng'e was speechless for a while, and she gave a low cough. Although there was only an endgame on the chessboard, it was obvious that according to the formula of the first 24 moves, Chen Shaoxing had already won.

There should not be too much difference between a national player and a pure wild way. I don't know where Chen Xi's self-confidence comes from.

"Shaoxing, I made you laugh. It's really embarrassing for you to walk with your uncle, a stinky chess player, for so long." Heng'e said with a smile.

Both Gao Ling and Chen Xi were dumbfounded.These two people's chess strength is between five and five. Every time they pull Chen Shaoxing to play chess, there will be losses and wins, and both Chen Xi and Gao Ling have won more times than Chen Shaoxing.

No matter what Heng'e meant, the three of them are not in the same rank.

Heng'e knew at a glance that the two were used to being handed over. She took the initiative to walk to the chessboard, guessing Chen Xi's chess moves, and first replayed the sunspots.

"Shaoxing, I think your chess style is quite familiar. It reminds me of an old man who is called 'the number one official in the world'—Old Mr. Wang Weidian."

There was a flash of interest in Chen Shaoxing's eyes.His cousin guessed exactly what his cousin's chess move was just now.

Heng'e replayed the black pieces first, and after carefully looking at them, he placed the white pieces on the board one by one according to Chen Xi's chess moves.

Chen Shaoxing's eyes darkened, Bai Zi's current position is exactly the same as the position he just placed.

"See? In the first fifty moves, Shaoxing has already won." At the end of the replay, Heng'e changed the positions of the white stones a few times.

Chen Xi and Gao Ling were dumbfounded.

Heng'e gracefully covered Sakura~s lips with a handkerchief, revealing only a pair of beautiful eyes with crooked smiles: "I've never seen you two so stupid, you don't even know you've been let go."

"Shaoxing, you kid actually dare to tease your cousin! If you hadn't been pointed out by your cousin today, I don't know how long I would have been secretly laughed at by you!" Chen Xi punched Chen Shaoxing in the chest in embarrassment.

Chen Shaoxing was also a little embarrassed when his little thoughts were suddenly revealed.He lowered his eyes and said humbly: "It is said that a famous teacher produces a good apprentice. The reason why I am better than my cousin is because I have a good master."

Gao Ling knew Wang Wei Dian, so he immediately smoothed things out with a smile: "Old Mr. Wang is unparalleled in the country. Whether it is chess or learning, he is an antelope with horns, and there is no trace to be found."

Heng'e pursed her lips and smiled: "I have played chess records with the old man for two years, and I am still in the same school as Shaoxing. Let's compete some other day."

Given the Cui family's status in the cultural world, she was a girl who learned chess from Wang Wei Dian, and it took a lot of hard work to gain Wang Wei Dian's attention.

"Young Madam, the dinner party is ready, shall we start now?" Seeing that several people stopped talking, Fei Qiong hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

"It's getting late, let's start the banquet." Heng'e took Wang Yunfeng's arm, afraid that she would feel uncomfortable, and said with a smile: "The men are drinking and chatting, and we can't get in the conversation, so we simply don't join in the fun. The two of us are alone Take a seat."

Wang Yunfeng was very grateful to the cousin for her thoughtfulness and consideration.She was born in a small family, and these few people were chatting about Go just now, but she couldn't get in a word.

She is the housekeeper and director every day, taking care of the whole family. Chen Shaoxing has no shape at home. This is the first time she knows that her man can play Go, and he is so good at it.

Chen Shaoxing was a well-known stubborn master in the capital, and Heng'e guessed that he was tired of official banquets.

This time Heng'e brought back two chefs from Hangzhou, who are best at cooking Hangbang dishes.If Chen Shaoxing is used to eating, Heng'e plans to send him a cook, which is better than sending some antiques and curios.

After several people took their seats, Fei Qiong clapped her hands.

The brightly dressed maids filed in with trays.

Wang Yunfeng suddenly opened his eyes.

She thought that this cousin's treat was no different from the banquets she had attended in the past, but now she realized how wrong she was.Just the utensils with green as the main color, fresh artistic conception and depicting the natural scenery are exquisite and different everywhere.

Osmanthus rain over the Long, Three Pools Reflecting the Moon, Spring Dawn on the Su Causeway, Remnant Snow on the Broken Bridge, Orioles Singing in the Willows... The ten beautiful scenes of the West Lake are depicted on a set of 88 pieces of porcelain that are "white as jade, thin as paper, bright as a mirror, and sound like a chime". The extent is dizzying.

Heng'e asked the kitchen to prepare a total of [-] dishes: Longjing Shrimp, West Lake Vinegar Fish, Dongpo Braised Meat, Beggar's Chicken, Dry Fried Bell, West Lake Yuyuan, Honey~Juice Fire Fang, Southern Song Dynasty Crab Stuffed Orange, Cod Lion head, baked prawns with matcha, stewed duck with dried bamboo shoots, fragrant rice dumplings, Huaxi soft-shelled turtle, thousand island grilled fish face, sweet-scented osmanthus glutinous rice and lotus root, roasted pomfret, osmanthus crystal cake, crab roe dumplings, emerald siu mai, Longjing tea, Magnolia core.

Heng'e was pregnant and couldn't eat cold dishes, so the kitchen replaced the crab-stuffed orange and soft-shelled turtle with two other dishes.

"Aunt Biao, no wonder everyone says you are the most famous lady in Beizhili. I have never eaten such exquisite dishes or seen such exquisite utensils."

The men's wine was hot, and the dishes and dishes on the ladies' table had already been removed.Wang Yunfeng smiled and said compliments.

"I'm afraid Fengniang is not used to you. Since you like it, take the chef back. The salary I offer here is [-] silver dollars a month. You can just pay it accordingly." Heng'e also knows that Chen Shaoxing's family is a big business. He is the only son, and he can afford a chef's salary. If he changes to another house, this person will not be sent out casually.

Wang Yunfeng's eyes lit up. She is not a person who likes to be courteous, so she immediately thanked Cui Hang'e happily: "Thank you, cousin." Originally, she felt sorry that the elderly and children in the family could not eat this delicacy.

Heng'e likes women with a sharp temperament, and the smile on her face is a little more sincere when she hears this.

"This set of utensils is my dowry. Before I got married, my mother specially ordered hundreds of sets of utensils from Jingdezhen. A total of twelve sets of the Ten Scenes of West Lake were burned at that time. After you and Shaoxing go back, I will pack them for you. superior."

I have already got a chef, so how can I ask for anything.Wang Yunfeng quickly declined and said: "Cousin, Shaoxing and I are here as guests, where there is good food and food, please don't embarrass me, otherwise I will not dare to visit with Shaoxing next time."

"It's just a few sets of porcelain, don't be polite to me. You call me cousin, I'm not an elder for nothing." Heng'e said, her face darkened on purpose, "They are all from my own family, if you refuse again, you will be with me." I'm out."

The tables on both sides were not far apart, and Wang Yunfeng quickly gave Chen Shaoxing a look of asking for help.

Chen Shaoxing has been distracted listening to the movement here, nodded when he saw this, and said with a smile: "Since it was given by my cousin, you can take it, and we will honor my cousin and aunt after we have good things. "

After eating, several people sat on the sofa and drank tea together.Chen Xi wanted to sit next to Heng'e, but she was afraid that the smell of alcohol would smell on her, so she ran to the bathroom to brush her teeth, and called Gao Ling and Chen Shaoxing to come together.Seeing this, the two had no choice but to follow.

Chen Xi poured down a bowl of strong tea, with gleaming black eyes that were a little tipsy, and looked at Heng'e with a smile: "Speak, invite both Shaoling and Shaoxing, you sell them in this gourd. What kind of medicine is it?"
