The noble boy likes to play chess

Shu Jing didn't expect that the Second Prince would be so forthright to help arrange a meeting with Dong Tianyou, and even asked Sheng Jing's somewhat famous Mr. Shen to help guide the way. Shu Jingyuan played a game of chess with this Mr. Shen in the Huanyue Tower. I just found out today. This Mr. Shen is named Shen Rufeng, and he is the small boss of Yazhu Chess Club.

When Shu Jing arrived, Dong Tianyou was already there. He seemed a little tired and his complexion was not very good.

"Mr. Shu, it's really hard to find you!" Dong Tianyou didn't say anything when he saw Shu Jinglai, but his expression of anticipation was clearly expressed.He chose Heizi first, and made a 'please' gesture to Shu Jing, and the two chatted while playing chess.

Shu Jing smiled and said, "Sorry, I couldn't notify you when I wasn't at home."

"Why did you suddenly live with the second prince?" Dong Tianyou was a little puzzled. The second prince was not in Shengjing all the year round, and few people knew his temper and preferences. In Shengjing, there seemed to be not many officials who walked with the second prince, but The second prince gave people the feeling that he was not like the idle and willful person in the rumors.

"Maybe it's fate, there's nothing wrong with living there." For a while, Shu Jing didn't know how to explain it. It was originally a misunderstanding and a series of coincidences, but now...

Dong Tianyou thought about the previous incident, and said: "Yes, it's good, at least it won't happen like before." Last time, Dong Tianyou went back and checked it secretly, and even asked the third prince for verification. I didn't admit it personally, but I definitely couldn't get rid of it.The purpose of the third prince is also very clear, to suppress the fourth prince, even though the fourth prince is hardly a threat to the third prince.

"Indeed." Shu Jing heard that the fourth prince was grounded later. In fact, for the fourth prince, it might not be a bad thing. He does not have the strength to compete for the crown prince, so withdrawing completely can save himself and those around him.

"How are you recently?" Shu Jing asked him with a smile.

"I still don't want to be the same as usual." Dong Tianyou replied lightly.

It's different, Shu Jing can feel that when he first met him, he was more confident and cheerful, and it's been a long time since I saw him, and a feeling of melancholy lingers for a long time, the chess game is unclear, and his level has dropped greatly.This open and covert battle involves a wide range of people. He is the right-hand man of the third prince. How can he not be affected? This is inevitable. Shu Jing said weakly: "Many things may not be changed or avoided. Then, why not?" Looking at it from another angle, it may suddenly become clear.”

"What if it is clearly avoidable, but not done?"

"It's good for you to have a clear conscience. There are various things happening in the world all the time. Some you know, some you don't. Just do what you want and what you can do. If you don't have the ability to take care of extra things, just leave them alone." Shu Jing didn't know what it was, but it must be something Dong Tianyou didn't want to see, that's why he was so melancholy.

Dong Tianyou paused for a while, and said: "I really hope it can be like what you said, but things will never be as easy as they say."

"If you talk about one thing alone, there is always a clear edge, but people are different. People have feelings, thoughts, concerns, and selfishness. When people think about things, they often don't talk about one thing alone. There are many factors. Taking it all into consideration, everything is complicated and troublesome, and I didn't expect that this gifted scholar in Shengjing would be stumped one day."

Hearing Shu Jing mention Shengjing talent, and looking at the chess game that had been lost in a mess, he blushed and said, "God Bless is just a vain name, Mr. Shu is the real talent, but Mr. Shu, you don't want people to know that's all." .”

"Mr. Dong's talent is recognized by everyone, so you don't need to be modest, but your reputation as a talented man may attract the public, and under the current situation, you will cause a lot of trouble." Shu Jing said realistically.

Dong Tianyou smiled helplessly, and said: "Although Mr. Shu is not in the game, you can see it very clearly."

"It's all for the bystanders." Seeing that Dong Tianyou didn't get to the point for a long time, Shu Jing asked bluntly: "Listen to Lin Fang, you went to see me a few days ago, what's the matter?"

Dong Tianyou laughed a few times and said, "Can I play chess with you?"

"If it's just playing chess, Shu Jing welcomes you at any time. I'm afraid Mr. Dong is busy with his affairs and doesn't have time to play chess with a boring person like me."

"I hope you don't pursue the matter of the fourth prince any further." Dong Tianyou said with a serious expression.

If those people don't come to make trouble anymore, Shu Jing doesn't bother to investigate further, no matter what the facts are, the result won't change much, the important thing is not the past, but the present and the future.

Dong Tianyou was very surprised that Shu Jing agreed so readily, and he was relieved. He was not so worried at first, after all, Shu Jing was just a talented commoner, but after knowing that he lived in the Second Prince's Mansion, his uneasiness continued to expand. No matter what the outside rumors are, the second prince is a prince after all, and his intervention will make things more complicated.

Shu Jing and Dong Tianyou continued to play a few games of chess, which was much more enjoyable than playing chess with Lin, and today it was even more addictive.

When leaving Yazhu Chess Club, Dong Tianyou was much more relaxed, and Shu Jing was also much happier.

Back at the Second Prince's Mansion, Shu Jing happily made three-color dumplings, white, green, and yellow. In a small town in the south of the Yangtze River, whenever there was a happy family, they would make this kind of dumplings. Relatives and neighbors mean to get along well and not to quarrel. It's sweet and Wen Yang likes it. I hope this little Yuanzi can make the young couple in the other yard get along well.

In the evening, when the second prince came back, Shu Jing thought that he would ask about Dong Tianyou, after all, he was asked for his help, and Dong Tianyou belonged to the third prince, as a result, it seemed that he didn't know about the second prince.

In the end, it was Shu Jing who asked: "Second Highness, don't you ask me what I talked about with Dong Tianyou this afternoon?"

"Just say what you want, I won't suspect that you are from the third brother's side because of this matter." The second prince said while eating the three-color ball, "The size of this thing is good, it just fits one bite, and the color should not be so complicated. No, it's not a child."

Shu Jing snickered, and said: "In a small town in the south of the Yangtze River, this is a snack for children. It means not to quarrel. I made it for Wen Yang and his wife."

The second prince took a look and said, "Unfortunately, they don't know that this thing has such a meaning."

"Take your time, it takes time for two people to go from stranger to familiarity." Shu Jing said lightly.

It takes time to go from unfamiliar to familiar, so what do you do to me?Why, I haven't met a few times, and even hurt you, why do you still take care of me so carefully?

In the end, Shu Jing still told the second prince everything about Dong Tianyou, because it was closely related to the recent battle for the crown prince.

The second prince just listened quietly, and patted his head when he finished speaking.
