Ye Buhui's eyes widened and he watched without blinking.
After a moment, she raised her head happily: "How did you come up with such a chess move? It's really unexpected. It makes me feel very inspired. It's different from what Uncle Du inspired me."
Su Ziji suddenly laughed and thought to himself: "This is Lin Yuqing's chess skills, and he is also a person with the title of chess saint. Moreover, the gold mine has not been dug out yet, so we can dig deeper."
"By the way, I can ask Jian Qu to go to the Xie Mansion on my behalf later to express my gratitude. First, to explore the situation, and second, to ask if there are any martial arts records."
Neither of these two parties may have true goodwill toward him, but even if they are fake, taking this opportunity to explore more and dig out the gold mine will not be regarded as a waste of money.
After playing chess, the banquet brought by the restaurant was set up in the front yard. Ye Buhui went to change clothes. Su Ziji waved his hand, took out the first letter and showed it to the wild Taoist.
After reading this, the wild Taoist frowned slightly: "I didn't expect Lin Yuqing to have such a big background and power. This is just what the person who wrote the letter told us, and there may be many more privately."
"And this letter seems to be a reminder, but it is sent at this juncture and sows discord. The person behind it may not have good intentions."
Su Ziji nodded: "I think so too."
Putting the letter away again, Su Ziji continued: "So you can't follow other people's steps - you wrote to Zhou Yao in the name of not regretting, saying that you want to ask for piano lessons."
After thinking for a while, he added: "In my name, I will send a greeting card to Lin Yuqing, saying that I want to ask for advice on chess skills."
"Also, the little fox is very fat. Now you can let it work. Let it contact all the fox friends in the city to find out some information."
The wild Taoist nodded. Although he didn't understand why the master wanted to learn the piano from Miss Zhou, since it was Su Ziji's order, he would do it accordingly.
After March, spring was warm and flowers were blooming. One morning, an ox cart, driven by a driver, was traveling from an area where government officials gathered. After walking through six or seven long streets, there was a noise in front of it.
A little maid and a mother-in-law were sitting in the bullock cart with Zhou Yao. They were both a little curious, but they remembered their duties and did not dare to lift the curtain to take a look.
The mother-in-law used to serve Zhou Yao, but now she sits quietly with a respectful expression.
The originally gentle lady gradually became somewhat powerful after her fiancé passed away.
In the past, the housekeeper who was ordered by Zhou's mother to go out with the young lady could still say a few "hard words" and advise the young lady on her words and deeds, but now she is just sitting in the same car and looking at the lady sitting upright with her eyes downcast.
Miss, a chill that I don’t know where to come from spreads in my heart.
Zhou Yao seemed to be aware of her mother-in-law's gaze, but she just pretended not to know that Shao Sisen was gone, and she felt a long-lasting sadness that could not be relieved.
Zhou Yao lowered her eyes and looked at her hands. Now she seemed to have lost most of her interest in some of the things she liked. Even if she continued to learn the piano, it was only because of the mysterious voice in her heart that asked from time to time.
This is not possible.
If your heart is as dead as water and you are like a walking corpse, how can you treat your parents?
"Shao Lang, if one day I can no longer think of you, but I just happen to be a little dazed when looking at the scene, don't blame me for being ruthless."
"How can I make my parents sad? I will forget you one day."
But when I passed by the chaos in front and could hear excited shouts and discussions while sitting in the car, real disgust suddenly welled up from the bottom of my heart.
"Is there anyone beheading today?" The woman, who was originally silent, had to lift the corner of the car curtain this time, cautiously glanced outside, and then immediately put it down.
"I wouldn't have taken this road if I had known it. The front is already crowded with people. I'm afraid it will take a while to get past."
Those people outside were crowded to watch the beheadings. The bullock cart was already cumbersome. In such a chaotic situation, let alone being unable to pass, even if it could barely pass, the cart driver did not dare to go directly for the safety of the young lady in the cart.
Go over there, lest you startle the oxen pulling the cart and cause any trouble.
Feeling the bullock cart stop, Zhou Yao's originally expressionless face showed a hint of impatience.
She didn't want to pay attention to what was going on outside, but the sounds from outside kept coming in.
When she heard someone shouting that the person to be killed was Qian Zhidong, the commander-in-chief of the southwest, Zhou Yao frowned her beautiful eyebrows. Since ancient times, heroes and beauties were not allowed to see their heads grow old, and she suddenly felt a sense of sadness that a rabbit would die and a fox would die.
"Can't we continue walking?" Seeing this, the mother-in-law hurriedly asked the driver in front of her.
The driver was helpless: "We can't go yet, the road ahead is already blocked."
"Just wait, don't rush, it's useless." Zhou Yao said lightly.
"Hey, I just happened to encounter this when I was traveling. It's a bit unlucky. It doesn't hurt to wait a while. It's still early." The mother-in-law said with a sigh.
Zhou Yao said: "Dead people are not unlucky. What is truly terrifying is the human heart."
What he said was a bit world-weary. After hearing this, the mother-in-law secretly complained in her heart.
Although the young lady has been favored by Princess Xinping and has been going out to banquets recently, she is still silent and unwilling to speak at home. The madam asked her, who has been serving the young lady for several years, to give her some comfort, but it doesn't look like this.
He looked sad and lifeless, and there was nothing he could do to persuade him.
Just at this moment, the road ahead suddenly opened and the ox cart started moving again.
Seeing that the young lady had fallen into her own world again, the mother-in-law glared at the useless little maid and could only sigh silently.
Ever since the young lady vomited blood at the pier, the number of maids accompanying her has been changed. Although those who were not punished before, they can no longer accompany her.
Naturally, the new one was even more cautious, fearing that he would also be scolded by his wife.
In this mother-in-law's opinion, it's better to use it before, at least we grew up together, want to persuade, and have some affection.
But how can a servant like her make the decision? They can only pray in their hearts that the young lady can talk to the Mrs. Su they are about to meet. If they hand over multiple handkerchiefs, they can get out of the gloom as soon as possible.
"Ahead is Peach Blossom Alley." When the ox cart slowly stopped in front of an alley, the driver said in front: "The alley is narrow, and it may be difficult for the ox cart to enter..."
"Just get off the car here." After hearing this, Zhou Yao said directly, and got off the bullock cart with the help of her mother-in-law and maid.
When I looked up, I saw that the surrounding environment was pretty good. Although it was not as dense as Zhou Mansion, where there were many high-ranking officials and busy traffic, the trees here were green, the roads were clean, and most of the surrounding houses were made of green bricks and tiles.
"Miss, the courtyard where Mrs. Su lives is in this alley. Would you like me to go in and inquire about it first? This will avoid running into something and bumping into the lady," the mother-in-law asked.
Zhou Yao shook her head: "No need, the people living here are all innocent families, and Mrs. Su is Mr. Su's wife, so there is no need to be so careful."
