Jiangshui City is the capital of Jiangnan Province. There are seven long rivers rushing by, so this name is given.

This city has a long history and was once the imperial capital of all dynasties with a profound heritage.

If the Li family is new to it within decades, then the Chen family in Jiangshui City is an old family with a long history.

The Chinese people pay the most attention to inheritance. This family that has been passed down for hundreds of years has long been deeply rooted here.

At this time, at the foot of a mountain, on the wooden pavilion, the breeze and dew are not luxurious, but they have a different kind of elegant taste.

Tick!

On a bamboo, water droplets slid on the rock below, and the rock had long been polished and lost its edges.

At this moment, the sound of steps sounded from the pavilion.

On the open-air balcony, there were three people, one of whom was Wang Yu, standing quietly beside him.

Close to her was a very elegant girl.

The girl's hair is simply tied with a red rope, she is wearing a slightly thin Hanfu, and her small red lips are slightly pursed, which is a very beautiful curve.

The girl stared at the chessboard, knelt on her knees, but her back was very straight. When the wind blew, she felt a sense of tranquility and distance.

Except for a string of silver jewelry on the left wrist, there were no decorations on the whole body.

Her face looked gentle and calm, and her brows frowned because she was thinking were very beautiful. She was the eldest daughter of the Chen family, Chen Wanqing.

The girl is like a painting, quiet and beautiful.

And the person who can play chess with her is naturally extraordinary.

Opposite her, an old man with white hair looked at the chessboard and said slowly: "Since you were a child, you have been more active in chess, but the older you grow, you will become more and more orderly."

Chen Wanqing smiled bitterly, and she looked very beautiful even with her frown, and her whole body shone in the gentle sunshine.

"Master Luo, I lost again."

Master Luo’s original name is Luo Jingkang, and he is a guest minister of the Chen family. He has lived in his last century to the present, but he is becoming more and more energetic, and the wrinkles on his face are full of charm.

"In the past, even if you were just a good person, you could hold on for a while in my hands. Today, you seem to have something to worry about."

Master Luo is a master, but no one knows his specific strength, because he hasn't shown it for a long time.

Rumors have reached the level of a grandmaster, but it is not clear after all.

Chen Wanqing is a little more serious today. If she had been put before, she would have shown a girlish side: "Master Luo, you have been in the Chen family for hundreds of years than us young people, and you should know the Chen family better than me."

"What do you think of our Chen family now?"

Master Luo looked at her deeply, then looked around, and sighed: "Before me, my father was the servant of the Chen family. If I push him up, my grandfather is also working in the Chen family."

"Now, I'm still at Chen's house."

"But this dynasty has changed several times. The Chen family is still the Chen family, and it has not fallen even when it is windy and rainy. And in your generation, I have a premonition that it will be stronger."

Chen Wanqing smiled slightly: "The reason why our Chen family can exist safely for hundreds of years is because we follow the rules."

"Master Luo, look at the stones in the yard. If they are very sharp, they can easily hurt people. I am afraid that they will remove them, and they will lose value."

"And the reason why it stays is because it is polished and round."

"The master thinks that my chess plays more and more rules, because I know the importance of rules."

Chen Wanqing lifted the hair that fell in her ear with her hand: "Many people say that the rich second-generation nouveau riche has no quality, but if our family that has been passed down for hundreds of years has no quality, it would have been gone long ago."

"Because we know the rules well, we respect the rules, we have them ourselves, and we do not break the rules of others."

Master Luo smiled slightly: "Girl, are you talking about what happened back then?"

Chen Wanqing gently held a cup of tea: "The ancestral teachings of our Chen family are to never interfere in official matters and only do business, but the second uncle's family had broken the rules back then."

"He actually wanted to marry Chen Manman and one of the Li family."

"And grandpa is also obsessed with the wickedness, and he even agreed. Only some people can see clearly, which is contrary to the ancestral teachings."

"No matter how great the benefits are, they cannot violate the ancestral teachings."

"We had no choice but to do that, but fortunately, my second uncle is much more stable now. Although my second aunt died and my second aunt's family has also suffered a devastating blow, my second uncle is still alive and has a new wife and descendants."

Master Luo listened quietly without saying anything. He knew that the family that had been passed down for two or three hundred years must have its own foundation, and of course it is also very complicated inside.

"Outsiders always say that I was jealous of Chenmanman, but I was only eight years old at that time, and ten years later, I was only eighteen years old, so I didn't have any jealousy."

"Although I know she is very good, she speaks early, can recite poems at the age of two to make grandpa happy, can write at the age of three, and can speak eloquently at the age of four."

"But I'm only eight years old after all, and I haven't even attended elementary school. Who knows what jealousy?"

"It's just that their family broke the rules..."

"Girl, you are restless today. It seems that things have changed back then." Master Luo could guess naturally.

Chen Wanqing lowered her head: "Wang Yu saw Chenmanman in Tianbei City some time ago. I knew what happened back then was not simple. Second Aunt probably had prepared a way out."

"I just didn't expect that this hiding would last for ten years."

Master Luo frowned: "Have you sent someone over?"
