The purpose of Master Feng and Mrs. Feng in inviting Gu Qiancheng here today was to hold a banquet to thank her. In order to satisfy Gu Qiancheng, Master Feng specially borrowed a cook from the imperial dining room and prepared a table full of dishes.
…
It doesn’t seem to be of any use!
Master Feng and Mrs. Feng looked at each other in confusion. They glanced at the already empty tea cups. Mrs. Feng said a little embarrassedly: "The old man should be able to take care of the food, right?"
"Probably..." Lord Feng glanced at the hourglass and said uncertainly.
It seems that this time is well past lunch time, and the old man is not in the habit of eating snacks. If someone wants to send snacks over, I wonder if it will disturb their conversation?
Forget it, let's not give it away and eat it after Gu Qiancheng comes out from the old man's place.
Just as Mr. Feng and Mrs. Feng thought, Mr. Feng would never have thought that his son and daughter-in-law would invite people to dinner, but they would be hungry all the way. Therefore, when Gu Qiancheng came over, Mr. Feng only had tea here.
Tea again!
Holding the tea served by his servant, Gu Qiancheng burst into tears...
She got to know tea today.
"What? You don't like the tea I have here?" Mr. Feng pretended to be dissatisfied when he saw Gu Qiancheng holding the tea but not drinking it.
"Master, don't scare me." Gu Qiancheng quickly picked it up and took a sip, "Master, the tea here must be excellent."
"That's pretty much it." The old man nodded and waved to Gu Qiancheng: "Come here and play the next game with me." He came to Gu Qiancheng today to inquire about news. It's really not good to scare people.
.
Gu Qiancheng stepped forward obediently...
"You hold the black piece." Mr. Feng moved the black piece in front of Gu Qiancheng, but Gu Qiancheng refused, "Old man, please first..."
It's not that Gu Qiancheng deliberately gave way, but as a person who only knows how to play chess, it would actually be a disadvantage to play first. If it was normal, Gu Qiancheng would forget it. She didn't care about winning or losing in the chess game, but today...
Mr. Feng suddenly called her over, but he didn't ask about Feng Sijin's stay in the northwest. This showed that what Mr. Feng wanted to ask about must not be a trivial matter.
To be on the safe side, she decided to wait for Mr. Feng to make the first move.
"The little girl is young and has a lot of thoughts on her mind." The old man could see through Gu Qiancheng's little thoughts at a glance, but he didn't have any dissatisfaction. After all, he was the one who planned the plot, and Gu Qiancheng was just fighting back.
"The old man is joking, how dare I show off in front of you." Gu Qiancheng smiled apologetically and held Heizi in front of the old man flatteringly, "Old man, please..."
The old man did not refuse. He moved the piece and Gu Qiancheng immediately followed. The old man made another move. The speed was so fast that he almost didn't need to think. Gu Qiancheng did the same. He just glanced at the chess board and dropped the piece.
For a person who relies on chess records to play chess, as long as he stays focused and keeps thinking about the chess records in his mind, he can make moves very quickly, so no matter how fast the old man moves, Gu Qiancheng can keep up without being affected.
On the chessboard, black and white pieces are staggered, and most of the chess pieces have fallen. However, the speed of the two of them has not slowed down. In front of people who do not know how to play, they would think that the two of them are joking, but people who know chess know that this is
It's a master's game...
Soon, beads of sweat broke out on the old man's forehead, and Gu Qiancheng was not much better. Although he would not be hungry if he skipped a meal, mental work was very physically demanding, and even memorizing chess records was extremely wasteful.
Gu Qiancheng's face quickly turned pale as he thought about the matter in his head.
However, the two people who were addicted to the chess game did not notice this. The old man's eyes were half-closed and he was making moves quickly. His aggressive momentum could crush people.
If Gu Qiancheng hadn't been used to Qin Jiyan and the pressure from superiors that he showed from time to time, he might have been affected at this time.
Half an hour later, the chess game ended. Gu Qiancheng breathed a sigh of relief, "I lost three pieces."
This was the most tiring game of chess for her, and also the most enjoyable one, even though she lost.
"There is progress." Mr. Feng was also tired, but his eyes were brighter than usual.
It is a pleasure to meet an opponent in chess.
"Thank you for the compliment, old man." Gu Qiancheng didn't get up, not because he didn't want to but because he couldn't.
She has done too many mind-numbing things today and is very tired.
Mr. Feng didn't care about such a trivial matter. Seeing that the tea in the cup was cold, he said: "Come here, bring some tea."
Drinking tea again?
Gu Qiancheng burst into tears and wanted to say to Mr. Feng, could you give me some snacks? If there are no snacks, you can give me a candy bar. She needs to replenish energy now, but...
Before Gu Qiancheng could think of how to speak, Mr. Feng spoke up, "Qiancheng, I came to you today because I have something to ask you."
Mr. Feng had a serious look on his face, which showed that what the old man wanted to ask was by no means a simple matter.
Seeing this, Gu Qiancheng had no choice but to put away the idea of getting some snacks and said solemnly: "Excuse me, old man. I will tell you what I can."
"Can you tell?" Mr. Feng smiled helplessly, "You still say you don't have any evil intentions, but I see that you have more and more evil intentions."
"Forgive me, sir." Gu Qiancheng smiled bitterly, saying that he had nothing to do.
At this time, the servant just brought tea. The old man did not say anything. He waited until the servant retired and then asked gently: "Why did His Highness the Emperor Taisun suddenly return to Beijing this time?"
"Master Feng also knows about this." Gu Qiancheng did not answer directly, but he did not refuse coldly.
There is no need to ask me about things that your grandson knows.
But the old man did not give up and said with a smile: "Sijin is not in the capital."
"It's not easy for the old man to contact Mr. Feng. I haven't seen Mr. Feng in the northwest and received news from Beijing." Gu Qiancheng lied with his eyes open.
Feng Sijin was indeed able to receive news from Beijing in time, but Gu Qiancheng didn't know this, she just inferred.
"Okay, I won't embarrass you little girl. Since Sijin knows the reason, it won't be too troublesome." Mr. Feng had an open-minded look on his face. Gu Qiancheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the old man gave up questioning, but she was happy.
Too early.
Old Master Feng said again: "Where were you and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince when they disappeared? Don't use that trick. Why did you prepare gunpowder to deceive me? Although I am old, I am not blind."
This question...
Gu Qiancheng looked sad and said depressedly: "Old man, these questions are getting harder to answer each time. How do you want me to answer them?"
"To be honest, why can't you even trust me?" Mr. Feng didn't say a single harsh word, but even so, Gu Qiancheng still felt tremendous pressure.
Gu Qiancheng sighed helplessly, "Old man, this is the question you want to ask today, right?"
The previous step was just a foreshadowing. When asked why His Highness Qin came back, she refused, and the old man did not pursue it. But on this issue, the old man did not accept her refusal and concealment, and of course it could not be a deception...
