   Chapter 110 Temptation and Accidents

  The frosted paper is like frost, white and flawless, although it is not as valuable as the clear heart paper, it is also a rare thing.

  Su Luoyi couldn't help but take a deep look at Qiao Zhao, thinking: Just looking at this gift, this girl Li San is quite talented.

   For the girls in Shangshufu, sending ordinary jewelry, rouge gouache and other things just feels tacky. If a gift is given lightly, people will despise it, and if it is given too much, it will make people feel attached to it, and it will also make people despise it. Qiao Zhao's box of frosted paper is obviously just right.

   When he met someone who was in the right way, although Su Luoyi didn't know it, the corners of his brows and eyes softened quietly. He signaled the maid to put away the gift, pointed at the chessboard and said with a smile: "Li Sanmei, how about we talk about a game?"

   She asked directly, and Qiao Zhao replied happily: "Okay."

   This girl Su from the Minister of Rites is famous for her obsession with playing chess in the circle of noble ladies, which is why she chose Su Luoyi as the way to enter Fushan Society.

   With her current reputation, those ladies and girls in Beijing are obviously reluctant to deal with more, only those who are obsessed with a certain aspect will not care too much about the world.

   The two of them put their pieces on the chessboard, and Su Luoyi suddenly asked: "Lisan sister, I heard from my grandfather that you and him played three draws in succession, I think it is very strange."

  Qiao Zhao looked at Su Luoyi quietly.

  Su Luoyi dropped Heizi with a deep smile and winked mischievously: "Let's try it too, I haven't encountered a draw for a long time."

   Anyway, how should she play or how to play, if Miss Li San can really make a draw, then she will be convinced.

  Qiao Zhao curved his lips: "Okay, then try it."

   She is not sure what style this girl is. If she loses so badly and tears her nose, she doesn't plan to recommend her to Fushan Club.

   Playing chess pays attention to tranquility, neither of them have a detached temperament, and they fight back and forth.

  Su Luoyi was gradually startled.

This girl Li San is really good at chess, not to mention whether she can play a draw in the end, just look at now, every time she takes a step, the opponent's piece will fall quickly, not dragging on the water at all, and it's all clear His chess skills are brilliant.

   And playing against such a master is undoubtedly a joy for a person who is obsessed with this way.

  Su Luoyi was about to go down to the place where a maid in duck-blue armor came over and said, "Miss, Madam Huang is here. Madam, please come and meet me."

   Su Luoyi was suddenly interrupted, and a pair of willow leaves frowned. I heard that Mrs. Huang had no choice but to get up, and said apologetically to Qiao Zhao: "Li Sanmei, I'm sorry, my aunt is here."

  Qiao Zhao then got up: "Then I won't bother-"

   A bit of regret rose in her heart: people are not as good as heaven, and the other party's aunt passed the door, so today can only be a hasty conclusion, it seems that the matter of getting Miss Su's initiative to recommend to join the Fushan Society will be postponed.

   She was thinking like this, but Su Luoyi waved her hands again and again and said eagerly: "I didn't mean that, Li San sister, sit down, wait for me to come back and let's go down!"

  Su Luoyi didn't forget to look back when she walked to the door, and emphasized: "Lisan sister wait a moment, I'll go back when I go!"

   After speaking, Miss Su turned her head, her mind was filled with the depression of being interrupted, and her forehead suddenly hit the door frame while distracted.

   A muffled sound came, Su Luoyi covered her forehead and whispered, but she was too embarrassed to turn back, and her figure hurriedly disappeared at the door.

  Qiao Zhao laughed dumbly, picked up the tea on the high table beside him and wanted to drink it, but was stopped by the maid: "Miss Li, the tea is cold, the maid will change it for you."

  Qiao Zhao nodded: "It's time to work."

   Su Luoyi just left the door, and was led by the maid to the pavilion in the backyard.

   Looking at Mrs. Zhang sitting in the gazebo, Su Luoyi was taken aback: "Grandmother, didn't you say my aunt is here? Why are you here?"

   Mrs. Zhang smiled, motioned Su Luoyi to sit down, and said, "Your aunt didn't come—"

   Before she could finish speaking, Su Luoyi hurriedly stood up: "Since I didn't come, then I'll go back to the house, I'm only halfway through the game—"

"sit down!"

   "Grandmother?" Su Luoyi was still very well-behaved in front of the elders. Hearing this, he sat down with a puzzled face.

   Mrs Zhang smiled helplessly.

   This granddaughter of hers is usually good, but she becomes stupid whenever she encounters chess.

   "Grandma called you here on purpose."

"Um?"

   Mrs. Zhang reached out and touched her granddaughter's soft hair, and said with a chuckle, "What better way to show a person's character than when the host is away and the guests are alone? Let's wait and see."

   "Grandmother, this is not good—" Su Luoyi was a little disturbed when she heard this.

   For some reason, when I think of that girl with quiet brows, I feel that this is very unkind to her.

   Mrs. Zhang squinted at her granddaughter, unmoved at all: "Only in this way can grandma rest assured that you are dealing with her."

   Having said this, Mrs Zhang sighed: "Your parents have been in office for many years, and they only left you alone as an old lady like me. Grandmother can't let someone with bad behavior bring you down."

   "Grandmother, don't say that, my granddaughter feels blessed to be able to accompany you." Hearing what Zhang said, Su Luoyi hurriedly said.

   On the other side, the maid in Tsing Yi changed the tea and brought it in again, and said politely, "Miss Li, please use tea."

  Qiao Zhao stretched out his hand to pick it up, the maid in blue suddenly slipped, and the tea flew towards Qiao Zhao.

   At the critical moment, Qiao Zhao turned to the side without changing his face, and stretched out his hand to support the maid in Tsing Yi.

   At this time, Ah Zhu, who was standing beside Qiao Zhao, rushed out to block, and the tea was all splashed on Ah Zhu's dress.

  Under the successive changes, the maid in Tsing Yi was in a hurry, and subconsciously reached out to find support. While being supported by Qiao Zhao, she pressed her hand on the chessboard.

   After a while, the maid in Tsing Yi turned pale in shock and pleaded guilty: "Miss Li, please forgive me—"

  Qiao Zhao waved his hand, as if nothing had happened, and smiled lightly: "It's fine if you're okay, please take my maid to change clothes."

   The maid in green was still pale, obviously frightened.

Qiao Zhao looked at it coldly, originally thought that this accident was probably man-made, but now he is a little uncertain, and then saw the expression of the maid in Tsing Yi landing on the messy chessboard, he understood it, and said with a smile: " Hurry up, fortunately the tea is warm, otherwise I would have to trouble the mansion to show me this maid."

   The maid in green finally recovered, and after repeatedly pleaded guilty, she directed the maids in the house to clean up the mess, and took Ah Zhu to change her clothes.

   The maid in Tsing Yi took the opportunity to go to the gazebo.

"how?"

The maid in Tsing Yi glanced at Su Luoyi timidly, then lowered her head and said: "Reporting to the old lady, the maid pretended to accidentally throw the tea on Miss Li San, who knew that Miss Li San dexterously avoided it, but it was her servant girl. Loyal protector, rushed over to block, and all the tea was poured on her maid."

   "Oh? What did Miss Nai say?"

   The maid in Tsing Yi had lingering fears and her lips turned white: "Miss Li helped the maid and said that it's fine to say that the person is fine."

   Mr. Zhang nodded: "It's a generous one."

   She glanced at the trembling Tsing Yi maid in wonder: "Then why are you so panicked?"

   This move was originally intended to test Miss Li San. Of course, she would not punish this maid for this. How could she look at this maid, as if she really made a big mistake?

   Hearing the old lady's question, the maid in Tsing Yi finally couldn't help plopping down to her knees and pleaded guilty: "My maid, **** it! The maid didn't expect Miss Li San to help the maid, and when she was nervous, she accidentally pressed her hand on the chessboard—"

   "What?" Su Luoyi was shocked, "We messed up half of our chess?"

   When she just played chess, she tried her best to create problems for Miss Li San, and she didn't have time to spare. Now it's almost impossible for her to replay!

   "Grandma, I'll take a look!"

Su Luoyi put down these words, and hurried away with her skirt in hand. She stopped at the door and looked in quietly. She saw Qiao Zhaoduan sitting and drinking tea slowly, while the maid she brought was silent. Placing pieces on the chessboard.
