In order to meet you - Sand Sea

Unpack the house.

Wreaths and white flags and elegiac couplets decorated the mourning hall in plain white, but the expressions of the people around were all watching a show, without a trace of pain.

At the stone table under the tree, Du Ruo was propping his chin to watch Elder He play chess with Zhang Rishan. When he saw that Elder He was about to make a move, he pointed at the chessboard and said, "It's not right there. here."

Zhang Rishan smiled wryly: "Ruoer..."

Elder He looked at it and smiled: "Senior Sister Du's chess skills are praised by Master Jiu, it's really not easy."

"That's right," Du Ruo said without being modest, squinting his eyes, "Jiuye has a lot of good things in his hands, and every year I count on him for Master's birthday present."

Zhang Rishan looked at her from the side: "I only remember the thing about Master Jiu preventing you from wiping the chessboard."

Du Ruo covered his face, "Just once, don't remember this kind of dark history so clearly."

In fact, Du Ruo didn't know that Master Jiu was giving way to her, otherwise, let alone wiping the chessboard, she would lift the chessboard, and Master Jiu would put the chess pieces back one by one, and tell her how to get there step by step.

"How can you not remember clearly?" Mr. He said although his face was steady, but his eyes were full of teasing: "I'm afraid Adjutant Zhang remembers everything about Senior Sister Du clearly."

Zhang Rishan just smiled and said nothing.

Just as Du Ruo was about to speak, he heard a man's voice next to him: "The two elders didn't forget to play chess at the funeral. It's really leisurely."

Du Ruo followed the voice and saw a middle-aged man in a brown robe standing there with a smile. Although the man looked older, he had clear eyebrows, a refined temperament, and a pair of long eyes that were bright and energetic. For no reason, he thought of Xie Jiuye whom he had met in his previous life. (Forget the second uncle in the play)

Zhang Rishan turned to look at the person, "Erbai is here too."

He then turned to Du Ruo with a smile and said, "This is Wu Erbai, the fifth master's second son."

Wu Erbai smiled and cupped his hands at Du Ruo: "This is the Senior Sister Du that Mr. He said last time, right? In terms of seniority, I should call you Auntie."

He has called Zhang Rishan uncle since he was a child, and with his appearance in front of him, the name of aunt is quite easy to pronounce.

The last time she went to Wu Shanju, she just watched the excitement and didn't see the owner's house, so this was the first time she saw Wu Erbai. Du Ruo rubbed her nose, endured a little embarrassment and recognized the name, smiled and pointed Pointing to the stone bench opposite: "Sit down and talk."

Wu Erbai looked around at the people around him, then walked over and sat down.

He sat down and looked down at the chessboard, "Is it Lao He's turn?" He tapped the chessboard and said, "Let's go here, even though we're about to lose."

Elder He looked at the position he ordered, and said with a smile: "Isn't this the position that Senior Sister Du ordered just now? You will also play a game in a while, and you will meet your opponents."

"Really?" Wu Erbai became interested, "I must ask my aunt for advice if I have the opportunity."

Du Ruo smiled and said, "I'm afraid I won't be able to win against you." She looked at Zhang Rishan and said, "If you don't tell me, I would have thought he was the son of Master Jiu. I can't win against Master Jiu most of the time." .”

Master Jiu is good at attacking, and he is tricky in planning every step of the way. Du Ruo can only occasionally beat him a few times by digging holes everywhere to catch him by surprise. It really takes a lot of brainpower.

"You're not the first to say that," Zhang Rishan said, "Fifth Master said this himself, and I'm afraid that Erbai will get a headache if he puts too much effort into it like Jiu Master."

"No," Du Ruo said with a smile, "The Wu family won't have as many troubles as the Xie family did back then."

"That's right." Zhang Rishan smiled, looked around and said: "Back then, there were so many branches of Xie's family, and they could make up several tables for playing mahjong. Who would have thought that Xie Yuchen is now a single seedling in a thousand hectares of land."

Wu Erbai smiled: "It seems that the elder doesn't believe that Xiao Hua is dead either."

Zhang Rishan curled his lips: "Is it important whether we believe it or not? The important thing is whether they believe it or not."

Wu Erbai turned his head to look at the families standing in the yard in twos and threes, and sighed, "It's going to be chaotic."

Zhang Rishan glanced at him, and said coolly: "Now that the Nine Schools are in trouble again, your Wu Xie's contribution is indispensable."

Wu Erbai smiled, "This kid doesn't know what he's busy with. If there's something wrong, just pass it on and let him go."

Du Ruo smiled, she was so righteous in defending her shortcomings, she deserved to be the second uncle of the Wu family.

Just as she was talking, Huo Youxue in a black dress came over. When she saw Du Ruo and Zhang Rishan sitting together, she knew that Du Ruo didn't listen to what she said that day. She looked at Du Ruo with her arms crossed and said, "There is a saying that day I forgot to tell Ms. Du that Zhang Rishan told me that day that the doctor surnamed Liang is his girlfriend."

Du Ruo slightly raised her eyebrows and looked at Zhang Rishan: "Girlfriend?"

"No." Zhang Rishan narrowed his long eyes, glanced at Huo Youxue, looked at Du Ruo and changed his smile again: "I'm talking about friends."

Turning around to settle accounts with you again, Du Ruo glanced at him as he was playing with a chess piece in his hand, looked up at Huo Youxue and said, "Thank you for caring about me so much."

Huo Youxue glanced at Zhang Rishan, who had a bad expression, and said, "Even if he said he was a friend, those photos are true. President Zhang is so half-hearted, isn't Ms. Du angry?"

Du Ruo hooked her lips and looked at Zhang Rishan with a half-smile: "Angry, I'm very angry, what do you think?"

"Ruoer..." Zhang Rishan shook his head and smiled, half helpless and half doting: "Ruoer can do whatever he says."

"Then you will be fined for cooking at night." Du Ruo put the chess pieces on the board, tilted his head and smiled, "Is that okay?"

"I'll listen to you."

Du Ruo nodded in satisfaction, Yubai stretched her small hand back, and Du who was standing behind her put a photo in Du Ruo's hand respectfully. , the photo escaped from her finger, and flew towards Huo Youxue in a strange trajectory.

"The sage taught us that coming and going is not indecent." Seeing Huo Youxue catching the photo in a panic, Du Ruo's voice cooled down, "If you have time to care about me, why don't you review yourself, and don't be afraid if you do this kind of thing Lost the face of the ancestors."

Huo Youxue glanced over the photo and hurriedly covered it up, her face turned blue and white several times, looked around, but finally said nothing, stepped on her high heels angrily and left.

He Lao shook his head and sighed: "Huo Xiangu doesn't know how to teach people."

"Well, that's not true," Du Ruo said, "The same rice feeds a variety of people, and Xiuxiu is pretty good."

A few days ago when Huo Xiuxiu returned to China, they had already met her, she was a very lively girl, and they were quite right-tempered.
