Chapter 47

Just like Ran Wen in Princess Anhe's mansion that day, Feng Zhou played Rao Ziqi with Yijia when he came up.

Yijia didn't say much, she took the sunspot and dropped one first.

Feng Zhou was a little underestimating the enemy at first, and Yijia's first move was random, so he shook his head in his heart, secretly thinking that it would be really difficult to draw a tie in this round.

It is necessary to let go, but also to let go without leaving a trace.

But facing a novice like Yijia, who can win a chess game with his eyes closed, how can he let it go?

Yijia's moves seem to be disordered, but step by step, he steadily enters the opponent's power. Feng Zhou thinks highly of himself and underestimates the enemy, so he doesn't defend or attack. Instead, he seems to be playing with Yijia. Falling, truly disorderly.

Yijia sighed secretly, it seemed that it would be difficult to even a tie in this round.

By the time Feng Zhou found out that something was wrong, the general situation had already been settled.

It was Yijia who showed mercy again and again, so Feng Zhou's loss in the end was not too ugly.He looked at the chess game stupidly, his face turned red and turned pale, feeling extremely ashamed.He has always been conceited about his talent and fame, how could he think that it's okay if he can't compare with Uncle Liang today, but he can't even compare with a girl like Yijia.

Feng Zhou was not reconciled, and Yijia played another round with him.

This round, Feng Zhou put all his thoughts on the chessboard, and only got a draw.

Feng Zhou couldn't save face, and felt that Liang Mingzhi's smile was a mockery, so he aggrievedly asked for another round.Liang Mingzhi interrupted: "Yijia, go out and have a look. The guests are probably coming. It's not good for you, the master, to keep hiding."

Although Yijia controlled his strength in these two rounds, he still had a lot of fun.

Especially in front of Liang Mingzhi, using the chess skills he taught, he was a little bit complacent psychologically.It is said that famous teachers produce outstanding students. From Liang Mingzhi's expression, Yijia can tell that he is also amazed at his own chess skills, and he is a qualified student.

But it's not interesting to go any further, and it's time for her to go out and have a look.

"Okay, cousin, stay with Uncle Shi first, I'll go out and have a look." Yijia followed Liang Mingzhi's words.

Feng Zhou couldn't sit still, how could he have the nerve to sit down with Liang Mingzhi again, it was such an ugly loss.

Moreover, the grandmother's family will return to Tianjin Wei after her birthday. This is a rare opportunity to stay with Yijia.Immediately he said: "I'll accompany you to meet the guests. I'm afraid there are so many people today that Cousin Xuan and Cousin Qi are too busy." Then he asked Liang Mingzhi, "Uncle Liang Shi, you can go alone later. ?"

Yijia was not happy with Feng Zhou's attitude towards Liang Mingzhi, but she couldn't say anything, so she looked at Liang Mingzhi and asked for his opinion.

Liang Mingzhi was extremely displeased with Feng Zhou's calling Liang Shishu, but his expression remained unchanged, and he said, "You guys go together, I'll go there by myself later."

Feng Zhou showed joy on his face.

Yi Jia said: "Then Liang Shishu, you should rest for a while, the banquet will start soon, I will call someone over to invite you."

Liang Mingzhi nodded, leaned back in the chair, and took the book next to him to read.

Yijia and Feng Zhouyi went out of the study together, and walked towards the door left behind after the two houses were separated.

"Cousin Jia, when you are free, come to my house as a guest!" Feng Zhou said: "You have never been to Tianjin Wei! You have gone, I will take you to the street to see lanterns, Tianjin Wei has many delicious food Yes, you must like it."

Yijia said: "There are also lanterns in the capital, but I don't want to see them. Besides, I'm not young anymore, neither my father nor my mother will allow me to go out. Of course, I don't want to go out myself. It's too hard to ride a carriage. "

The enthusiasm on Feng Zhou's face dissipated a little, and he became in a bad mood.

After walking a few steps, he said again: "Cousin Jia, do you have any objections to me? During the few days I've been here, you never come out to play with me except at my grandmother's."

"Cousin, we are all grown up, and we can no longer play together like when we were young." Yijia felt that he had to speak clearly. Although Feng Zhou was good at reading, he was really amazing in other aspects Annoyed.

She clearly saw that she didn't want to get involved with him too much, but she still wanted to break the casserole and ask the end.

"But..." Feng Zhou stopped and said, "But, we grew up together, you treat me..."

"I have the same feelings for you as my sister has for my brother." Yi Jia was afraid that Feng Zhou would say something that shouldn't be said, so he was too busy to interrupt him, "But even brothers and sisters, it's not easy to be together every day when they are older. What's more, we are only cousins. Cousin, if I want to go inside to meet the female relatives, I will go first."

After Yi Jia finished speaking, before Feng Zhou could react, she waved to Bai Lu who was behind her. The master and servant walked quickly a few steps past the reopened door and entered the East Mansion.

Feng Zhou was stunned for a moment, but Daxi, who had been following him all this time, came up and pushed him, and then he came back to his senses.

"Eldest young master, what's the matter with you?" Daxi asked seeing Feng Zhou in a daze.

Feng Zhou shook his head and said, "It's nothing."

Although he was sad in his heart, he couldn't say anything to a young servant.

Daxi kept Feng Lian's advice in mind, and said in disbelief, "Really? Miss Second Cousin, didn't you say anything?"

Feng Zhou shook his head bitterly, "No, I didn't say anything, she went to entertain guests."

"Oh." Daxi said: "Then let's go quickly, I have heard the voices of the two young masters, there must be a lot of guests here today, the young master is also going to help."

Feng Zhou followed Daxi into the East Mansion, and after a short detour, he saw Zhou Chengchi and Zhou Xuan Zhouqi who were welcoming guests.

After a hasty greeting, he stood beside Zhou Xuan, looking devastated.

Zhou Xuan saw it, and when most of the guests had arrived, he greeted Zhou Qi, pulled Feng Zhou aside, and drove Daxi away.Only then asked in a low voice: "Cousin, what's wrong with you? You look lost, who took your soul away?"

It's fine if he doesn't say anything, but when he did, Feng Zhou's face drooped.

Zhou Xuan pulled him, pushed him onto the stone bench, and put on a posture of a good brother, "Cousin, just tell me if you have anything to do. Although I am your cousin, I always treat you As a real brother, tell me if you have anything, and I will help you solve it."

Feng Zhou hesitated a little.

Although he doesn't have much insight, he knows that he can't speak out about Yijia's affairs casually.He's fine, but for a woman, it's about fame.

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Zhou Xuan guessed, "Is it for Sister Jia?"

"You...how do you know?" Feng Zhou looked at Zhou Xuan dumbfounded.

Zhou Xuan lowered his voice, and said, "I've seen it for a long time, you and Sister Jia have been in love with each other for a long time. What's the matter, did you quarrel?"

As soon as Zhou Xuan said what he said, Feng Zhou felt his heart beating wildly like a drum. He grabbed Zhou Xuan's arm and stammered, "You... you said, Sister Jia... she also has me in her heart?"

"That's natural!" Zhou Xuan said with a natural expression, "It's not just me, even my elder sister can see it. Cousin, you are very knowledgeable and talented. You became a scholar at the age of 13, and you are so handsome. , may I ask how many girls don't like it?"

Feng Zhou was ecstatic, and then thought of Yijia's words just now, and felt a bucket of cold water poured down his head.Pulling Zhou Xuan, he told Zhou Xuan about Cai Yijia's attitude.

Zhou Xuan couldn't help being happy after hearing this, and there is nowhere to find it after breaking through the iron shoes, so it doesn't take much effort to get here!He leaned on Feng Zhou's ear and said a few words.

Feng Zhou was startled again, and said after a while, "This... is this really okay?"

Zhou Xuan patted his chest and assured, "Just trust me, there will be absolutely nothing wrong!"

Although Zhou Chengyan's official position is not high, he is a very popular figure in Beijing.Even without mentioning his teacher Kang Zhengfang, relying on the name of Guozijian Jijiu, there are countless old disciples. In addition, there are some who are not from the best family background but want to send their children to the Guozijian to study, that Zhou Chengyan's mother It's my birthday, but I have to come.

The male customers are fine, but the female customers are different.If someone's wife comes, she will definitely bring her daughter or daughter-in-law with her, so before the banquet starts, there will be no room to sit in the flower hall of Zhou's East Mansion.Fortunately, the Zhou family made two-handed preparations every year. After celebrating the birthday of Mrs. Zhou, the wives and wives stayed in the East Mansion, while the young daughters-in-law and young ladies all went to the West Mansion.

Mrs. Ran and Mrs. Song joined hands to entertain the wives and wives of the East Mansion, while Zhou Xinrong brought his daughter and two nieces to entertain the wives and ladies of the West Mansion.

Mrs. Ran San came with her son and her niece. Regarding Liu Wanru, Mrs. Ran San was very conflicted.The Liu family is not as good as each year, but the niece is not only well-born, but also very virtuous and courteous. Of course it is good for such a girl to be a daughter-in-law, but it can't bring any benefits to her son.

She has paid too much for her natal family, and she really doesn't want her son to have to drag her natal family for the rest of her life.Moreover, even if she wanted to, Master Ran San would not agree.

So Mrs. Ran San must take Liu Wanru with her whenever she goes out.I just look forward to winning the face of some wife and wife so that I can find a good family for my niece.

Ran Wen also followed Mrs. Ran over.But when she saw Yijia, her nose was not her nose, and her eyes were not her eyes.When I arrived at the second room, I found a few little sisters who were good at daily play and sat and chatted, hiding away from Yijia.Yijia felt that it was good for Ran Wen to be like this, good or bad was shown on her face, so that she didn't have to worry about some tricks in the dark, instead she received Ran Wen and Liu Wanru very warmly and politely.

The Zhou family’s meals are very good. They ordered [-] tables of big dishes from the Dexing Building. There were not enough cooks in the two houses, so they specially invited four cooks from the Dexing Building. Soon the tables were filled with delicious food. delicacies.

Zhou Xinrong accompanied the daughters-in-law of each family, and Yijia and his younger sister Yiwan sat at a table with the daughters of his father's family.Zhou Yihan and Feng Lian also each served a table of guests, that is, Ran Wen and Liu Wanru, because of the in-law relationship between the Ran family and the eldest family of the Zhou family, they also helped serve a table.

The girls drank fruit wine, which had a faint taste of wine, but they didn't get drunk.

Yijia had just had two drinks with her when Wenxue, who was in front of Ran's, came over to call her, saying that something happened to Xiao Song's side, and she asked her to go and have a look as soon as possible.

Yijia immediately thought, could it be that Mrs. Ran made Xiao Song look bad in public?
On a day like today, she is so courageous!

But thinking of Xiao Song's temper, Yi Jia was afraid that something might have happened in her confusion.On a day like today, if she has something to do with it, my father's face will be completely lost.

"What happened?" Yijia asked.

Wenxue shook her head, and said: "Second Miss, go with the servant, you will know when you arrive."

Yijia glanced at her suspiciously, but Wen Wenxue blinked at her indiscriminately.

It turned out there was a problem!
It seems that Xiao Song's accident is fake, and it is true that someone couldn't help but make a move. This time, what does Ran want to do?
However, Wenxue is the eldest maid of the eldest aunt, why did she give her a hint?

But no matter what, she was going to figure it out.

Yijia ordered Bailu to find Xiaoyu to find her father quietly, and went back to the flower hall to hand Yiwan to her aunt. She took the opportunity to glance at Zhou Yihan whose mouth was raised high, and then left the flower hall with Wenxue, heading towards the East Mansion. go.
