"It's beautiful. It would be even better if I could get a few and insert them into vases so that I can enjoy them all the time."
Looking at Shi Fuxin who answered freely and without being polite at all, the old Duke of Xiahou smiled: "Little girl, my lotus flowers are not that good."
Shi Fuxin tilted her head, as if thinking deeply, her almond-shaped eyes rolled around, and when she glanced at the chessboard, she smiled brightly: "If I can solve the chess game, my husband is willing to give me some purses and let me take them back."
Go home and honor your elders?"
The old Duke of Xiahou raised his eyebrows and had a meaningful smile on his face.
Taking the lotus flowers from the Duke's Mansion home, this little girl is quite smart.
"Can you play chess?"
Shi Fuxin nodded, then shook her head: "I know a little bit, but I'm not particularly proficient."
The old Duke of Xiahou smiled: "If you are not proficient, then you may not be able to solve this chess game."
Shi Fuxin smiled and said: "If you don't try, how do you know I can't untie it?"
The old Duke of Xiahou laughed and shook his head: "Little girl, it is a good thing to know how to fight for opportunities, but if you don't have the ability, you still have to show off your strength. Once things go wrong, it will not only be embarrassing, but also unpopular."
Shi Fuxin blinked: "Sir, nothing is absolute. Sometimes it is necessary to take risks."
The old Duke of Xiahou laughed and looked at the chessboard. Although he said nothing, his expression showed that he was willing to let Shi Fuxin have a try.
Shi Fuxin walked over and sat down with a smile, picked up the white piece naturally, then stared at the chessboard for a while, and then quickly made a move.
In the previous chess game, the old Duke of Xiahou held the white stone, and Dongfang Changqing held the black stone.
"you......"
The old Duke of Xiahou was about to say that Shi Fuxin was messing around, but when he saw the position where she landed, he shut up and looked at Shi Fuxin in surprise: "Why did you think of landing here?"
Shi Fuxin smiled: "Sir, I don't know much about chess, but I know that when playing chess, one is to prevent oneself from having no way to retreat, and the other is to make the opponent have no way to retreat."
"As long as I follow these two ideas, then the place I choose to move will be the best choice at this moment."
After hearing these remarks, the old Duke of Xiahou thought highly of Shi Fuxin.
The little girl's position is indeed good. She can break the hole Dongfang Changqing dug for him. Why didn't he think of it before?
But if this move would leave Dongfang Changqing with nowhere to go, he somewhat disagreed.
"Little girl, when playing chess, you can't just focus on the present. Come on, let's continue the chess game, and you will take over Chang Qing's position."
Shi Fuxin glanced at the chessboard, decisively refused, and said with a smile: "Sir, why don't you take over from Dongfang Changqing? This way you can change your mind and I'll take over your move."
The old man was almost surrounded to death by Dongfang Changqing. Continuing with the previous actions, she could block him without any way to go to heaven or to the earth in just two strokes.
The old Duke of Xiahou glanced at Shi Fuxin and heard the implication of her words. He immediately hummed in his heart. What an arrogant little girl dared to look down on him. OK, he would like to see how much she weighed.
.
"Come on then."
Immediately, the two of them started going back and forth.
Thanks to Dongfang Changqing's previous layout, the old Duke of Xiahou came down very smoothly at first, but slowly, his speed of making moves became slower and slower, and his expression became more and more serious.
At first, when Shi Fuxin drank two sips of tea, the old Duke of Xiahou could have a son; later, when Shi Fuxin drank a cup of tea, the old Duke of Xiahou did not have a son.
Why......
Seeing the old Duke of Xiahou staring at the chessboard motionless, the villain in Shi Fuxin's heart kept sighing. She was already very arrogant and deliberately left several loopholes, but the old Duke of Xiahou didn't know that he didn't see it.
, or deliberately refused to move, just stuck there motionless.
For a quarter of an hour or two quarters of an hour, Shi Fuxin could still sit still, but after half an hour, Shi Fuxin was a little ready to move.
Sometimes I get up to pour tea from the pot, and sometimes I look at the lotus flowers in the pond...
At the end of the day, Shi Fuxin wanted to get up and move her arms and legs.
On the way, Wang'er met the old Duke of Xiahou. Shi Fuxin had been staying in the pavilion. Worried that there was not enough water in the teapot, she came over to change the teapot. Shi Fuxin took the opportunity to ask for some snacks.
Just drinking tea made her hungry.
This was probably the first time Wang'er encountered a customer who asked for food. He was stunned for a moment, then looked at his master who was addicted to the chess game, and then nodded with a smile.
Soon, several plates of exquisite pastries were served.
Seeing that there was bird's nest and red date cake among the snacks, Shi Fuxin suddenly smiled and narrowed her eyes.
She really likes eating bird's nests, but unfortunately, high-quality bird's nests are hard to come by. Without connections or money, she can't buy them. She only ate them once in the uncle's house.
The Duke's mansion is so wealthy that he casually entertains guests with bird's nests.
Now that she had something to eat, Shi Fuxin was not so bored. She was eating cakes and admiring the lotus flowers in such a leisurely manner that Wang'er was a little dumbfounded.
Master Shi Wu’s little sister is really amazing!
After eating something, Shi Fuxin saw that the old Duke of Xiahou was trapped in the chess game and could not get out. She was kind-hearted and suggested: "Old Master, how about we start the game again?"
"No, I have to break this game."
The old Duke of Xiahou refused without thinking, and even said: "I don't believe it anymore. Even if I can't seduce that boy Changqing, I can't seduce a little girl like you."
Hearing this, Shi Fuxin was a little unhappy: "Sir, I'm not discriminating. What you said makes it seem like I can't compare to Dongfang Changqing."
Mr. Xiahou, who was obsessed with breaking the game, didn't hear this, but Wang'er on the side heard it.
Wang'er looked at Shi Fuxin with great admiration.
This sister of Mr. Shi Wu......
In one word, awesome!
She actually wants to compete with Mr. Dongfang!
The old Duke of Xiahou's chess addiction was beyond Shi Fuxin's expectation. In the end, he couldn't break the chess game anymore, so he reopened the chess game, and then pulled Shi Fuxin to play game after game.
When Fuxin arrived at Duke Dingguo's Mansion in the morning, she was surprised that she was still in the waterside pavilion when the sun went down.
Looking at the setting sun in the west, Shi Fuxin held her chin numbly on the stone table.
She swore that she never wanted to play chess with the old Duke Xiahou again.
It’s so torturous!
She came to the Dingguo Palace to get the access token to the Ministry of War. Who would have thought that she would be detained here for a whole day.
Just when Shi Fuxin was thinking about leaving, Xiahou Huanyan came over with Qiao Xinyu.
"Grandpa!"
The old Duke of Xiahou didn't even raise his head: "Don't bother me, I will break the chess game soon."
Xiahou Huanyan knew about Xiahou's old Duke's chess addiction, so it wasn't surprising. He just smiled and said: "The martial arts test is over. Grandpa, don't you want to know the result?"
Hearing this, Shi Fuxin's expression suddenly perked up and she looked at Xiahou Huanyan hurriedly.
The old Duke of Xiahou finally raised his head, glanced at Shi Fuxin who was anxious to know the result, and then asked: "How is Shi Wulang's performance today?"
Xiahou smiled happily and nodded: "It's very good. The emperor went to watch the martial arts test and praised three people during the period. One of them was Tokigoro. In today's martial arts test, Tokigoro was able to take the top three."
A look of satisfaction flashed in the eyes of the old Duke of Xiahou, but he just said "oh" and said lightly: "It's barely acceptable." Seeing Shi Fuxin's face with a happy face, she added, "In the martial arts assessment, I can finally pass it."
If you can’t be on the list, it depends on your overall score. There is still one subject that you haven’t passed, so don’t be too happy just yet.”
Shi Fuxin took over: "My brother is the best."
The old Duke of Xiahou glanced at her: "There are a lot of talents in the capital. Don't just go for the best. You have to know that there are people outside the world."
Shi Fuxin didn't answer, just nodded and said quickly: "Honey, my brother has finished the exam. I have to go back. Let's stop playing this game here."
When the old Duke of Xiahou thought that he was surrounded by this girl in front of him, he felt a little uncomfortable. He really wanted to win the game, but seeing that it was getting late, he didn't stop him.
"I see that you have some talent in chess, so let me come to Duke Dingguo's mansion often when you have nothing to do in the future, so that I can give you some pointers, and maybe I can train you to become a great player."
"...."
Shi Fuxin laughed in her heart. A person who was able to block herself even when she kept draining water, actually wanted to give her advice?
When Xiahou Huanyan and Qiao Xinyu heard this, they quickly glanced at Shi Fuxin several times.
Obviously, both of them could see that Shi Fuxin had fallen in the eyes of the great-grandpa (her husband), and they both took the initiative to invite people to the house.
"Huanyan, let's send your sister Fuxin out of the house."
Xiahou Lao Guogong spoke, and Xiahou Huanyan left the pavilion with Shi Fuxin.
When she was about to leave the waterside pavilion, Shi Fuxin suddenly stopped: "Sister Huanyan, my husband promised me to pick some lotus flowers and take them away."
Xia Houhuan looked surprised: "Really?"
Grandpa is very stingy. Every year when the lotus flowers are in full bloom, there are many people who want to beg for lotus flowers, but not many of them are willing to do so.
Shi Fuxin nodded: "Really, if you don't believe me, you can ask Wang'er."
Xia Hou smiled happily and said, "I believe you." After saying that, he asked the maid next to him to ask his mother-in-law to pick lotus flowers.
Shi Fuxin quickly stopped: "It doesn't have to be so troublesome, I can just pick it myself."
Then, Xiahou Huanyan and Qiao Xinyu saw Shi Fuxin flying into the lotus pond like a dragonfly. Her light figure tapped the lotus leaves, and after a few jumps, there were many lotus flowers in their hands.
In the pavilion, the old Duke of Xiahou also saw the scene of Shi Fuxin picking lotus flowers. He was amazed when he saw that the lotus leaves stepped on by Shi Fuxin hardly swayed at all, and even the water surface did not ripple.
This little girl's light kung fu has obviously reached its peak!
Shi Zheng and this family are really all martial arts wizards!
Wuchang Uncle Mansion... After so many years, the most correct thing the Shi family has done is to bring Shi Zhenghe and his family back.
Here, Shi Fuxin has already come ashore with more than ten lotus flowers.
"Sister Huanyan, I picked this lotus specially for you. I hope you like it."
After giving a budding lotus to Xiahou Huanyan, Shi Fuxin gave another fully bloomed lotus to Qiao Xinyu: "This one is yours."
"You little girl, you are very generous to others."
Xiahou took the lotus flower with a smile, took the opportunity to pinch Shi Fuxin's chubby cheeks, and quickly touched it.
So soft!
So slippery!
Qiao Xinyu saw it: "..." She wanted to cover her face again.
Fuxin ate cousin Huanyan's tofu in the morning, and now cousin Huanyan is eating it back.
Yes, neither party suffers.
...
Shi Fuxin brought a basket of lotus flowers back to the uncle's house. At this time, Shi Dingxuan had returned. When they learned that the emperor had personally praised him, everyone in the Shi family was very happy.
"Sister Xin, where did your lotus flowers come from?"
Mrs. Shi Qi liked lotus the most and was the first to discover the lotus brought back by Shi Fuxin.
Shi Fuxin: "This is a gift from the old Duke of Xiahou."
As soon as these words came out, the room fell silent. Even Shi Dingxuan looked over and looked at his sister with some suspicion: "Is this a gift from my husband?"
The old Duke of Xiahou was also a lotus lover. The lotuses from Dingguo's mansion were easily given away, so how could he give them to his sister?
Shi Fuxin was unhappy: "Brother, what's that look in your eyes? Your sister is loved by everyone. The old Duke of Xiahou likes me. What's wrong with giving me some lotus flowers?"
In order to close the relationship with Duke Dingguo, she made a big sacrifice today.
A whole day's work was wasted, and a few lotus flowers were lost.
Shi Fuxin brushed off the matter of skipping classes and took Qiao Xinyu to Duke Ding's mansion, where she told her about playing chess with old Duke Xiahou.
After hearing this, the family members quickly looked at each other.
Mrs. Shi looked at Shi Fuxin. She knew the old Duke of Xiahou well. Not everyone could catch his fancy. He could let Sister Xin play chess with him, which showed that Sister Xin's chess skills were not bad.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! How many surprises does this girl have waiting for her?
Although the old Duke of Xiahou promised to mentor Wu Lang, in the past few months, there was no sign of getting close to the Shi family. When this girl came out, she actually brought back the lotus that the old Duke of Xiahou loved.
Is this a communication signal sent by Duke Dingguo?
After dinner, Shi Fuxin deliberately left a little later than others.
Mrs. Shi looked at her sixth granddaughter and asked with a smile: "But there is something else."
Shi Fuxin nodded and told Mrs. Shi what she learned about the draft from Xiahou Huanyan today.
"What? All girls over the age of fifteen must participate?"
Shi Fuxin nodded: "Grandma, won't my sister also want to participate?"
Mrs. Shi frowned: "It's already August now, and your sister's birthday is in October..." After a moment of silence, she looked at Shi Fuxin, "Don't be anxious, even if you run for election, there is still a way.
Lost in advance."
Hearing this, Shi Fuxin breathed a sigh of relief.
Mrs. Shi: "By the way, don't spread this matter outside. Miss Xiahou said it in front of you, so she trusts you. You must live up to this trust. Once people break their trust, they will not make friends with others sincerely."
of."
Shi Fuxin nodded and saw that there was nothing else to do, so she left Yixiang Hall.
After she left, Mrs. Shi entered the inner room and sighed softly to Mr. Shi: "Every girl over fifteen years old must participate in the talent show. Zhengkun's wife did not disclose this at all."
Mr. Shi was a little silent, and after a while he said: "Zheng Kun has separated from our family after all." After saying that, he patted Mrs. Shi's hand, "Fortunately, Zheng Kun has become much closer to his family and the people in the house, and we can't
