old grace

Zuan Zuan had just stayed in the side hall for one night, and received an order the next day to move her to the main hall for shelter.

"There's a vacant room for you over there. You just need to rest well and don't worry about anything else. My eldest brother and I will visit you often." Fu Chuan couldn't say it too blatantly, so he could only hint at it around the corner. , even if she lives in the main hall, "Chen Qi" will not harass her anymore and let her move there with peace of mind.

Having had such a terrible experience in the main hall, he was only one step away from death, how could Zuan be at ease?It's just that the prisoner has no right to resist. She obediently packed up the only two pieces of clothes, and soon moved to the nest with the servants in the main hall who came to pick her up.

Fu Chuan secretly discussed with Xie Qinghe: "Is this bad luck? You have to move after you live here, and you are alone in fear."

Xie Qinghe shook his head: "The tenth generation is fortunate to be able to live under the same roof as Master, how can it be considered unlucky?"

"According to the records I have seen, those who continue their lives with the soul of respecting their relatives, everything goes wrong. Some people drowned in a basin, some fell to their death on a three-inch high couch, and there were not a few people who died of food and drink dreams. She Diet and daily life are the same as usual, not only is there no bad luck, but I am lucky to live in front of my teacher's lap, this matter..." Xie Qinghe was deeply puzzled, "It's strange."

After thinking about it, Fu Chuan also felt that it made sense, it was as difficult for ordinary people to see the master, and Zuan thought she was moving to live with Chen Qi, but in fact, Shangguan Shiyi was living with her, so this is not what the unlucky child should be. There are fairy fates.

Xie Qinghe patted his head, and said regretfully: "Master said, the four stacked table screens told him to give it to Mrs. Jiang."

It is a table screen specially carved by You Jing for Fu Chuan. It has eight sides in total, divided into two landscapes. The blue clouds and flying cranes are used as the bottom, and the young man captures the dragon as the side. If the table screens are stacked, only the front and back sides are left. It is the meaning of Feihe's love for youth.This is You Jing's love for Fu Chuan.

Fu Chuan was also very reluctant, and said: "If I have time, I will go to Wangyue Palace for a walk, and if I can't say it, I will ask for it."

Xie Qinghe meant exactly that.After all, he was old, so he was too embarrassed to pester Mrs. Jiang.Junior brother, a ignorant brat, is just right for doing shameless things.

During Xie Qinghe's soul-splitting period, Shuang Ling and Fu Chuan spent every day in the main hall, and their daily arrangements were adjusted.

Shangguan Shiyi is very strong, his goal is to play the role of "Chen Qi" independently, to be familiar with the life in the enchanted world, and he doesn't need his disciples to follow him around to help him at all.Xie Qinghe and Fu Chuan were used to staying with the main hall during the day, but they were suddenly driven back to the side hall to stay there, and nothing happened for a while.

Xie Qinghe seldom wastes time, after sitting for a while, he prepared the book case and prepared to annotate the book.

Fu Chuan took out the chessboard: "Let's talk about a game?"

Xie Qinghe was about to pick up the pen and then put it down again, put the cut paper aside, asked Fu Chuan to put down the chessboard, and said with a smile: "Okay."

They rarely sit down to play chess.

First of all, Fu Chuan knew that his chess skills were not good enough, so he was not worried about making a fool of himself, but worried that he would play too badly and make the senior brother feel bored.Secondly, Xie Qinghe seems to have endless things to do, whenever he rests, Fu Chuan wants to hurry up and get closer to him, how dare he disturb him?

If Xie Qinghe had already sat down and prepared to annotate the book if he had no experience with You Jing, how could Fu Chuan dare to suggest that you stop being busy and come and play?

The chessboard is set up, each according to the piece.

Fu Chuan has seen Xie Qinghe play chess with Shangguan Shiyi, the unfilial disciples often kill the master so that the master has no power to fight back, and the chessboard is a mess.

When it was time for him to play against Xie Qinghe, he suddenly found that his chess strength was slightly weaker, as if... the difference was very limited?Soon he realized that he was led by the nose by the elder brother, no wonder he took every step comfortably, was it all a trap by the elder brother?

However, the purpose of the senior brother's trap was not to kill his son.

At the end of the game, the two drew.

Fu Chuan gathered the chess pieces, Xie Qinghe asked with a smile: "Is it fun?"

"It's the first time I played chess as a lantern." Fu Chuan recollected his feeling, even though he was being led along the whole way, the feeling was the same as the feeling that a single arrow would surely blow out a lamp.The chess game is no longer a competition for victory, but a way to communicate with the big brothers.

"Although you can't win, it's still fun." Fu Chuan asked Xie Qinghe curiously, "Don't you feel bored, big brother?"

Xie Qinghe shook his head: "You are sitting next to me, and I don't feel bored."

Fu Chuan knew that he would get this answer, so his face flushed with excitement, and he moved closer to Xie Qinghe for a kiss.

"Then...the next game? Or just let me play a few games. It's better to make a small kill!" Fu Chuan likes fighting with senior brothers, and prefers to fight hand to hand.Even if he loses to the senior brother, he doesn't feel ashamed to be depressed.

Xie Qinghe smiled and said: "Okay. How many do you want to let go?"

"Three..." Fu Chuan quickly resumed the previous game and changed his words, "Seven is enough."

"Then let you seven." Xie Qinghe was very generous.

"Actually, I think three or five are evenly matched. I want to give in to seven, and the senior brother will also give in? Maybe the senior brother will lose badly!" Fu Chuan pressed the chess basket excitedly, gearing up .

Xie Qinghe was very calm: "Try."

The two were having a good time, when suddenly a servant came to report: "When the girl went out, she fell and knocked her face, shed a lot of blood."

No matter how close Xie Qinghe observed the unlucky situation of Zuan, it was impossible to sit and sit with Zuan, so he picked two smart and beautiful maidservants from the side hall, ordered the mission, and followed Zuan at close range.Zuan is moving, and Xie Qinghe is not easy to follow, who knows that something happened to Zuan not long after he went out.

"I'll go and have a look." Xie Qinghe got up immediately.

"I'll go too." Fu Chuan sealed the chess game with a chess cage, and ordered the maidservant who followed, "Don't move the chess game, you have to play again when you come back."

The two of them put on their clothes and hurried to the main hall. Zuan Zan was placed in a relatively remote side hall. After all, it was the residence of the main hall. Everywhere was grand and spacious, and the threshold was correspondingly high—Zan Zan was in When going out, for some reason, he tripped over the threshold and fell headlong.

The blood on her face had stopped, and the maid was wiping her face with the towel, but her mouth was damaged and swollen from the fall.

The maidservant explained to Xie Qinghe from the side: "Everything has been set up, hot water was brought to wash, the girl walked flatly, but she jumped down when she passed the door... It's all because the maidservant didn't come to support her."

Xie Qinghe didn't feel any abnormality from Zuan, so just in case, he ordered: "Saw all the thresholds in the hall. The sharp corners of the tables, chairs and beds are wrapped with soft cloth. Go to the library to find a Look for thick lichen, the ground is paved."

Zuan Zuan's status is embarrassing, and Xie Qinghe is also worried that the servant will complain that she is troublesome, and that she is not dedicated enough to serve and take care of her.

——If there is really a scourge from heaven and the people around you carelessly add to the chaos, zan zan will be very dangerous.

Xie Qinghe asked the two maidservants from the side hall to mainly take care of her, and gave an extra generous reward to all the servants and maidservants who took care of Zanyan, and specially told him: "Be more careful these days."

After the arrangements were made, Xie Qinghe took Fu Chuan back to the side hall and continued to play chess.

Fu Chuan always felt that the elder brother's attitude was very strange, but he couldn't tell what was so strange, he kept thinking in a daze, that a game of chess was lost, and he had no choice but to throw in the middle of the game: "There are several mistakes..."

Xie Qinghe smiled and said: "How about playing with the back of the hand?"

Fu Chuan shook his head incessantly: "If you don't play, you don't play." He made it clear that he was going to deliver food, and he could still have back and forth when playing chess.

"One more game. Let me have seven pieces." Fu Chuan picked out the pieces and cleared the board.

Xie Qinghe took the chess basket and nodded with a smile: "Okay."

At the end of the round, Xie Qinghe deducted the seven pieces that Xie Qinghe had agreed to give up in advance, and Fu Chuan lost one piece.

This made Fu Chuan stuck on the verge of winning, he blinked and looked at Xie Qinghe.

Xie Qinghe smiled and said, "Let's play another game. One more pass?"

"No. Just let seven!" Fu Chuan's confidence swelled, and he only felt that the road ahead was smooth, "I know how to fight! I made a mistake with No. 70 six moves, and I won't make the same mistake again."

Xie Qinghe tapped the chessboard, and Fu Chuan's eyes lit up: "Yes, that's what I think!"

Xie Qinghe ordered another place.

Fu Chuan was suddenly dumbfounded, tilted his head and thought for a while, and asked Xie Qinghe: "How about letting ten?"

Xie Qinghe couldn't help but want to laugh, so he nodded: "Okay."

……

Due to time constraints, Fu Chuan and Xie Qinghe played four games of chess, and the more they played, the more they doubted life.

When it was time for dinner, the two went to the main hall to pay their respects and had dinner with Shangguan Shiyi.When Xia Shang brought the servants to set the meal, Fu Chuan went to the back room to rummage through the boxes, found the chess table and brought it out, and asked, "Father, can I have a game with my son?"

Shangguan Shiyi just felt baffled: "Eat first."

"Oh." Fu Chuan returned to the table and sat down.

After all, he is a real master, and Shangguan Shiyi can see the hidden smile under Xie Qinghe's calm and calm face with a sideways glance.No matter what the little apprentice did, he had a good time with the elder apprentice, the elder apprentice was in a happy mood, and Shangguan Shiyi was very pleased.

The meal is ready.

When Shangguan lived in the middle, Xie Qinghe and Fu Chuan were on both sides, and Fu Chuan mainly served food and drink.

In fact, Xia Shang brought his servants back and forth to serve them, so there was no need for Fu Chuan to bring cloth and vegetables to add soup, but the two of them came to serve the meal in name, and there was always a formality.Fu Chuan Shangguan Shiyi scooped up the broth, but before he melted the meat, Shangguan Shiyi ordered: "Go and eat."

"Yes." Fu Chuan handed over the bowls and chopsticks to the servants, and went back to sit down.

Xia Shang was not without confusion.

Some time ago, Youjing didn't mention it when he took over Chen Qi's skin. When Chen Qi's deity was around, Xie Qinghe and Fu Chuan had never been so meticulous and considerate to him.

From Xia Shang's point of view, since the sudden death of Emperor Qin Ting, Mr. Xiao Lang and Mr. Jun Xiao Lang have [-]% respect for the Patriarch, and they are kind and respectful when getting along. He didn't dare to be negligent.

Outsiders may not be able to see this very subtle difference, but Xia Shang knows it well.He felt something was wrong and didn't know what to do.

Shangguan Shiyi took two mouthfuls of rice, and then ordered: "Go."

Xia Shang and the servants all pricked up their ears, in the past?Where are you going?

I saw Mr. Juan picking up a bowl of rice with chopsticks, stepping on the warm ground with his little feet, happily sitting down on Mr. Fork it into Mr. Juan Xiaolang's bowl.

Xia Shang hurriedly took his servants to help Mr. Jun Xiaolang move the table.

Shangguan Shiyi gave another instruction: "Put them together in the future so as not to have to move them back and forth."

Xia Shangwei promised, and his heart became more confused.A few days ago, Mr. Juan was still sitting at the host table to eat, while Mr. Jun was sitting far away alone.The seat was changed suddenly, is this... Has Mr. Jun Jun fallen out of favor?However, judging by Jun Jun's expression, it doesn't look like he's fallen out of favor, does he?

After a meal, Fu Chuan ran to play chess with Shangguan Shiyi, Xie Qinghe flipped through the bamboo slips that had just been delivered when he had nothing to do.

Shangguan Shi Yi said casually: "The gentlemen from the East Building will be here tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."

Xie Qinghe lowered his head and wrote on the bamboo slips, and said: "Let's discuss the sudden death of Emperor Qin first. In the past six months, there will be no military action. The only major event is spring farming. Bai Xianrui is fine if he is idle, just send him more."

Chen Qi had his own civil and military teams in charge of the military and administration, and had an early holiday in Qingzhou for the Chinese New Year, and these two teams also wisely did not come to harass him.

The concubine's precious weapon used spells to kill the concubine's envoy, and the sudden death of the emperor caused the staff's holiday to end early.

They rushed to Qingzhou one after another. Once they arrived in Qingzhou, Chen Qi's vacation would end early.In other words, the days when Shangguan Shiyi wanted to continue lying still in the Ziyang Palace, let his apprentices look at the bamboo slips every day, and remote control thousands of miles away--the days are numbered.

Chen Qi has been traveling outside for so many years, and his life is actually very hard, living in tents in the wilderness all the year round.

Even if there is no war now, he has been patrolling all over the place without stopping.

Xie Qinghe felt that the master might not be able to bear such a toss, but fortunately the world is almost at war, and the strategic focus of the Chen family can also begin to tilt towards the governance of the world.No matter whether the base camp is temporarily placed in Shuzhou or moved to Qingzhou, the staff of Donglou should not raise any objections.

But, don't worry.Let's pass the Lantern Festival first, let Master get used to it, and it won't be too late.

Shangguan Shiyi didn't speak.

He frowned and stared at the chessboard, undecided.

... was stumped.

At this moment, Xia Shang bowed and brought a maid into the door, and reported to Xie Qinghe: "My concubine stepped on the air when she went out, and broke the old wound on her mouth, bleeding profusely."

Xie Qinghe closed the bamboo slips and asked, "Takong?"

The servant girl replied: "Mr. Xiao Lang just ordered to saw off all the thresholds in the hall. The young ones dare not neglect, and immediately sawed off all the thresholds in the hall, large and small. The concubine was thinking about when she was thrown by the threshold and wanted to step on it." She went out by the threshold, but the threshold was sawn off... She stepped on a gap and fell headlong..."

This statement stunned Shangguan Shiyi and Fu Chuan who were playing chess, how could there be such an inch?

Xie Qinghe put down his brush and said, "Father, son, go and have a look."

Fu Chuan followed suit and got up: "I also..."

"Don't go." Shangguan Shiyi grabbed Fu Chuan, "One more game!"

Fu Chuan had no choice but to sit down: "Yes."
