Early the next morning, Ye Lan shook Shen Mu up, as if she was afraid that this guy would regret it.
Naturally, Shen Mu kept what he had promised. He chose the clothes that he thought looked best and even washed his hair, which made Ye Lan quite satisfied.
Since he was going to meet his elders, Shen Mu thought he should buy some gifts, but after Ye Lan handed the thirty-year-old black Er tea cake into his hands, he gave up the idea.
According to Ye Lan, what good things has his grandfather never seen?
What I have been thinking about most during this period is the Thirty Years of Black Er Er, and no gift could impress my grandfather more than this.
Shen Mu didn't show any pretense about this. Anyway, he won the black Er by his own ability, so he had nothing to be embarrassed about.
The two of them were driving towards a certain place. When they arrived at the destination, Shen Mu's eyes couldn't help but become extremely strange, and his expression became serious unconsciously.
Especially when she saw the row of guards standing straight at the door, Shen Mu suddenly regretted coming with Ye Lan.
What the hell is this place, and why does it look a little scary?
"Please show me your ID!"
One of the guards stepped forward and saluted the two people in the car with a standard military salute in a very serious tone.
Shen Mu had never seen such a scene in his life. He was a little at a loss for a moment, until he saw Ye Lan reaching out to him.
Only then did Shen Mu understand the reason why Ye Lan asked him to bring his ID card when he went out. At that time, he had thought a little wrong.
For such a process, Ye Lan is obviously familiar with it.
Moreover, the guards obviously knew this man and did not check him too strictly. They mainly looked at Shen Mu, a strange man, a few times.
For some reason, even though he knew that the guards were just doing routine work, Shen Mu still saw something strange in the other party's eyes.
It seemed a little strange that Ye Lan suddenly brought a young man here, but they abided by their duties and naturally they wouldn't say anything more.
After entering the door, the journey was smooth, and soon we arrived at the entrance of a large courtyard.
"Xiaolan is back?"
After the door opened, an old man who looked like a butler was full of joy, but the next moment his face became a little embarrassed and asked: "Why don't you call back first? The chief is not at home!"
After the old housekeeper finished these words, he immediately turned his attention to Shen Mu.
Looking at this handsome young man, the light in his old eyes was even stranger than the guard at the door.
At least in the old housekeeper's impression, it seems that Ye Lan has never brought any man into the family since she became an adult, right?
This boy is truly blessed through several lifetimes of cultivation.
"Uncle Xiao, where has grandpa gone?"
Ye Lan couldn't stand the look in the old housekeeper's eyes, so she asked directly. In fact, when she asked, she already had some answers in her heart.
"Where else can we go, of course the Go Academy!"
Uncle Xiao's eyes never left Shen Mu. After answering casually, he asked with a smile: "Xiao Lan, why don't you introduce this young man to Uncle Xiao?"
"His name is Shen Mu, he is my friend!"
Ye Lan's face was slightly red, but she still briefly introduced Shen Mu's name, not at all as tough as when she teased Shen Mu before.
"Meet Uncle Xiao!"
Shen Mu did not dare to neglect him. Although this person was dressed as a butler, he knew that he must not treat the other party as a servant. Otherwise, how could the other party dare to call Ye Lan "Xiao Lan"?
“The young man is good-looking and very polite!”
Uncle Xiao looked at Shen Mu with admiration, and the words he said seemed to be like the father-in-law looking at his son-in-law, which made both Ye Lan and Shen Mu feel a little uncomfortable.
"Uncle Xiao, let's go to the Go Courtyard to find grandpa. I'll come back to drink tea with you another day!"
Ye Lan glanced at Shen Mu, and the two of them disappeared in the same direction as if they had fled, leaving Uncle Xiao dumbfounded.
"Oh, it looks pretty good. I hope it's not just an embroidered pillow!"
Looking at the back of the sports car, Uncle Xiao suddenly sighed softly, and then murmured: "The old chief's vision is quite high!"
…………
"Sister Lan, is it too late for me to regret it now?"
After coming out of the heavily guarded gate, Shen Mu felt a cold sweat on his back and suddenly asked.
To be honest, when Ye Lan talked about his grandfather yesterday, he didn't feel this way yet.
I even thought it might be a kind-hearted old man, so there was nothing to be afraid of.
But now, Shen Mu could see an invisible aura from where Grandpa Ye Lan lived and from the old housekeeper named Xiao.
Even though Uncle Xiao had a great attitude and even had a smile on his face, Shen Mu still felt a little stressed.
This is just an old butler. If he really wants to meet his real master, he wonders what kind of pressure he will have on him. Will he be able to speak out?
"It may still be too late before I meet Uncle Xiao!"
Ye Lan glanced sideways at Shen Mu and heard her say: "Do you think Uncle Xiao will tell my grandpa the fact that I brought a man home?"
Ye Lan's meaning has been made very obvious. She is the treasure of her grandfather. She has never brought a man home before. This matter is probably considered a big deal in the Ye family.
"Don't worry, although grandpa is a little serious, he won't eat you!"
Ye Lan was still in the mood to joke. Seeing that Shen Mu was still nervous, she laughed again and said: "An ugly daughter-in-law always has to meet her parents-in-law. Isn't it the same if she meets her parents-in-law sooner or later?"
"Don't talk nonsense, what an ugly daughter-in-law is, at most she is a frivolous son-in-law!"
Shen Mu blurted out, but as soon as he finished speaking, he realized that something was wrong, but he couldn't take it back. The atmosphere in the car was awkward for a while.
The Weiqi Courtyard is not too far from the compound where the Ye family is located. It takes about half an hour to get there, of course provided there is no traffic jam.
"You two, please register here!"
The guard at the entrance of the Go Courtyard saw the two of them and greeted them directly.
Although the Weiqi Courtyard is not as tightly guarded as the front courtyard, not just anyone can enter.
At that moment, Shen Mu and Ye Lan obediently registered and were put into the Go Courtyard. Along the way, Shen Mu was looking at the furnishings and style of the Go Courtyard.
"Sister Lan, you should come to this place often, but why don't you know anything about Go?"
After entering the Go Courtyard, Shen Mu couldn't help but ask.
Your grandfather often comes to the Weiqi Courtyard, so you should come often too, right?
When I was at the Gao family, I didn't see you standing up to save the situation.
"Didn't I tell you before that I'm not interested in Go? I spend all my energy on the tea ceremony!"
Ye Lan explained angrily, and she heard her say: "Besides, I have never been to a Go courtyard. I get a headache when I see those black and white chess pieces."
Even though Ye Lan's grandfather is a master of chess and even often comes to play against professional chess players from the Go Academy, he has never been able to cultivate Ye Lan's interest in Go, which makes her grandfather quite helpless.
You can't force yourself to love this thing. That person often regrets that his children have not inherited his Go talent.
"Little miss, this way!"
Just when Shen Mu was about to ask something, a voice suddenly came from somewhere, but the voice was a little low, as if he was afraid of disturbing others.
Shen Mu looked around and saw a pavilion not far away. There seemed to be two elderly people playing chess in the pavilion.
As for that voice, it was made by a middle-aged man in Chinese tunic suit outside the pavilion.
It was obvious that this man in Chinese tunic suit was Grandpa Ye Lan's personal bodyguard.
His figure was upright, and even though he was so far away, Shen Mu felt an invisible aura from his body.
Apparently Ye Lan had called this person in the car just now. This person also knew that she would come, but he didn't know that she had brought an outsider with her.
Therefore, the middle-aged man's eyes kept looking at Shen Mu.
This made Shen Mu even more uneasy than the look from Uncle Xiao, the steward of the Ye Mansion, in the courtyard before.
It was like a scanner scanning Shen Mu's whole body. He felt that even if he was wearing clothes, there was no secret in his body.
"Uncle Long, this is my friend Shen Mu!"
Seemingly sensing Shen Mu's discomfort, Ye Lan walked closer and introduced him, which made the person's aura calm down and made Shen Mu breathe a sigh of relief.
"Huh?"
At this moment, when Shen Mu turned his gaze to the pavilion, he saw a familiar face, which made him couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise.
There were two people in the pavilion, and one of them was probably nearly eighty years old. He should be Ye Lan's grandfather Ye Chengtian. This was the first time Shen Mu had seen him, so he was naturally quite unfamiliar.
But the person who was playing chess with Ye Chengtian looked familiar to Shen Mu. He was the professional six-dan Go master whom he had seen at Longdu Yipin yesterday: Ge Yunhe!
At that time, Ge Yunhe had always been brooding over the fact that Shen Mu Tianyuan had defeated Gao Cheng.
Even though Shen Mu later conquered this man at the tea ceremony, he must still have a grudge against him.
It's just that Shen Mu didn't expect that the two sides would meet again so soon, and he didn't know if this was a sign of enemies.
"Xiaolan is here?"
Just when Shen Mu was thoughtful, Ye Chengtian turned his head and glanced at Ye Lan, but after saying something, he turned his attention to the chessboard again.
Obviously this is the critical moment for the game between the two. You must know that Ge Yunhe is a professional sixth-dan player, so he is not considered a weakling in the entire Go world of Dragon Kingdom.
This also made Shen Mu look at Ye Lan's grandfather with admiration. It turned out that Ye Lan's chess skills were not low, but he was not so low?
Because Shen Mu clearly knew that with Ge Yunhe's arrogance and expertise in Go, ordinary low-level professional chess players might not be able to catch his eye.
Since Ge Yunhe will play chess with Ye Chengtian, in addition to the latter's special status, I am afraid that this person's chess ability is also extraordinary, at least in the middle of the professional level.
This made Shen Mu feel quite curious, and he subconsciously followed Ye Lan into the pavilion to observe the competition between the masters.
