Qin Jiyan is the eldest grandson of the emperor. Several of his younger grandsons are married. Qin Yunchu almost had a child. Compared with his cousins, Qin Jiyan is really far behind...
The emperor mentioned Qin Jiyan's marriage several times. The concubines chosen for Qin Jiyan were all of extraordinary origins. Marrying any one of them would bring huge benefits, but Qin Jiyan rejected them all...
Qin Jiyan has repeatedly disobeyed the emperor, and even if the emperor favors him, he will still be dissatisfied. The case of Liumen is a lesson the emperor taught Qin Jiyan, letting him understand that a single tree cannot make a forest, and he wants to make achievements in the court.
, you must compromise.
It's a pity that Qin Jiyan is an arrogant and stubborn person at heart. He refuses to compromise at all. There is no help from the court, so he does it himself...
After Gu Chengyi's case was decided, everyone in the Gu family was waiting for King Qin to take action, but no action was seen from King Qin. The third uncle and the third wife were almost crazy with anxiety, and the old man also looked worried.
Ever since Gu Qiancheng went berserk at the wedding, the Gu family's reputation has plummeted, and the empress and the fifth prince in the palace have also been affected. If the case of Gu Chengyi's murder can be overturned, the Gu family's reputation can be restored to some extent.
After waiting for three days with no results, the old man finally couldn't hold himself back anymore and called Gu Qiancheng to his yard, saying he wanted to play chess with him.
As for whether Gu Qiancheng can play chess, it doesn't matter at all. The old man has never thought about playing chess with a little girl.
At this time, Gu Qiancheng's good psychological quality was revealed. After being summoned by the old man, Gu Qiancheng didn't feel anxious even though he knew what was going on, and slowly brought a chessboard over.
"Grandpa, I know you love to play chess, so I dug out this chessboard specially. The dowry my mother left for me, I heard from Mother Sun, was made of white marble. It was an old thing from the previous palace. I don't know how to appreciate it.
I brought it here specially for your grandfather to appreciate." Gu Qiancheng ignored the old man's dark face and put down the chessboard and chess pieces.
"Grandpa, are you holding black or am I holding black?" The black stone was played first, which gave him an advantage. Gu Qiancheng dared to ask this, so he obviously had extraordinary chess skills.
He was born in the third generation of the red generation and could study well, but if he wanted to coax the old man in his family, he had to have some skills. In modern times, Gu Qiancheng was doing a job that his family did not agree with and still being protected by his family, but he didn't have any skills at all.
In a big family, fairness is never important. If you have something to do, you will have status in the family. If you can catch the eye of the head of the family, even if you have no ability, he can pave a path for you and become the focus of the crowd.
In his previous life, Gu Qiancheng refused the arrangements of his family. He did not engage in business, politics or the military. He worked as a forensic doctor, which was of no benefit to the family. However, his status in the family was not low at all. It all depended on the favor of the old man in the family.
As for now?
Gu Qiancheng had not thought about coaxing the old man, but she knew very well that old man Gu was completely different from her grandfather.
Her grandfather is very satisfied with the current situation. He does not seek further progress for the family, but only wants future generations to be successful. He truly loves the children in the family. Old Mrs. Gu has retired on the surface, but he still longs for power in his heart. The children and grandchildren in the family mean nothing to him.
Whether it is available or not.
Maybe Mr. Gu will really like a certain grandson or granddaughter, but Gu Qiancheng knows that this child must not be her. Because she cannot be obedient and contribute to the Gu family as Mr. Gu wants.
Gu Qiancheng laid out the chessboard and waited for the old man to speak. The old man was stunned for a long time before he realized that Gu Qiancheng was serious. He looked at Gu Qiancheng carefully. Only then did the old man realize that he had never seen through this granddaughter.
Just when he thought Qiancheng had only this ability, she showed another side...
I have to say that the old man really likes Gu Qiancheng.
No one hates smart and capable children.
"You hold black." The old man was still very graceful. He put the white piece in front of him and motioned for Gu Qiancheng to go first.
"Grandpa, you're welcome." Gu Qiancheng took the lead in making the move. After the old man made the move, Gu Qiancheng immediately followed without thinking. The old man once thought that Gu Qiancheng couldn't play chess, but...
When the black and white chess pieces were staggered on the chessboard and Gu Qiancheng's moves were still neat, the old man realized something was wrong.
It’s not that this granddaughter doesn’t know how to play, she’s just very good at it.
"Who did you learn this from?" The old man became more and more frightened as he played. He focused all his attention on the chessboard and had forgotten the original intention of calling Gu Qiancheng here.
"Learn from books." It's good to have a good mother. Gu Qiancheng pushed everything she knew into the pile of burned books.
"Those books you burned?" Gu Qiancheng was fine not to mention the books, but when he mentioned the old man, he felt his heart aching.
"Yeah." Gu Qiancheng fell down again.
A little stimulation will help circulate the blood first, and the elderly will be in better spirits. Look at how filial she is.
"Prodigal!"
"It's better to be a loser than to die in the cold." Gu Qiancheng muttered in a low voice. The old man snorted and continued to stare at the chessboard with his head lowered. The old man's face didn't look good at this sight.
How come in the blink of an eye, a large number of his chess pieces were blocked by Gu Qiancheng?
"Wait a minute, where did you place the chess piece just now?" The old man asked Gu Qiancheng to take out the chess piece she had just played. Gu Qiancheng pointed to a position: "Here, the previous move I just made is here.
Grandfather, you left your son here. Grandfather, if I were you, I would not take such a step, I would leave here..."
Gu Qiancheng's fingers were pointing back and forth on the chessboard, and his tone was brisk, like a little girl acting coquettishly with her elders, without any fuss at all.
The old man was also very generous and resolutely followed Gu Qiancheng's instructions and regretted his move: "Qiancheng is right, my grandfather made the move like this."
"No, Grandpa, how can you regret the chess move? You are bullying others." Gu Qiancheng stopped him quickly. Like a child being bullied, the old man also fought against Gu Qiancheng, determined to regret the chess move: "Grandpa is old.
What's wrong with regretting a move?"
The old man smiled kindly, like a kind elder, but there was a sparkle in his eyes.
The ancients said that those who are good at chess are good at planning. He did not believe that this granddaughter did not have a city.
Gu Qiancheng just pretended not to see it and nodded reluctantly: "If you regret it, regret it. It's just this once, it won't happen next time."
"Okay, okay, just this time." The old man nodded with a smile, urging Gu Qiancheng to play quickly. However, when encountering the same situation later, the old man would still regret the move, and Gu Qiancheng also stopped him, and then showed his identity after the old man
After threatening, he nodded reluctantly and added at the end that this is the last time.
The grandfather and grandson were not bothered by it. Every time they regretted playing, there would be a scene, which attracted the servants in the old man's yard to keep looking in, wanting to see what the eldest lady was capable of, and how she could coax the old man into winning.
So happy.
The old man is not someone who is easy to coax. In the past, Miss Qianxue and Master Chengzhi were often frightened to tears. Even the Duke and his wife were often scolded by the old man until they could not lift their heads...
