The Daily Life of the Daughter of a Minor Official Chapter 242

Chapter 242 Failed to play chess

　　There has been a curfew in the capital recently, and patrols and guards are taking turns on duty in the streets and alleys. Zhao Lan, Fan Yanjia, and Xue Wulang all lived in the Su family and did not go back.

After dinner, they went to Su Yanli's study. Fan Yanjia was going to play chess with Zhao Lan. He was not in the mood, so he took a book to read.

Fan Yanjia was angry that he was ruining the game, but she had no choice but to play with Su Dalang, while Xue Wulang stood by and watched.

At first, Fan Yanjia didn't take Su Dalang's attention at all, and acted carelessly. Slowly, he was eaten by him several times. He suddenly became excited, "Hey, An Zhi, it's okay!"

Su Anzhi smiled modestly, "It's just a fluke."

After living in the Imperial College, Su Anzhi spent more time with his master and classmates. During leisure time after class, Su Anzhi talked with Ren Shou Tan (Shou Tan is another name for the game of Go. It is called "Shou Tan" because of the When playing Go, both players need to be silent and use only the **** and index finger of one hand to move the pieces on the board to compete with each other.) His chess skills improved greatly, which surprised Fan Yanjia, who originally thought his chess skills were average.

Fan Yanjia chuckled, rolled up half an inch of his sleeves, quickly got into the mood, and soon ate Su Anzhi's chess piece.

Under the oil lamp, the two of them stared at the chess game, concentrating on it. Either you eat me, or I eat you. They met their opponents and played the game heartily.

After cleaning up the inside and outside, Su Ruojin brought in chrysanthemum tea and poured a cup for each young man. In the night, under the soft light, some were reading and some were playing chess. The Su family, which had been empty for a long time, suddenly became Get lively.

The first cup was given to Zhao Lan. He reached out to take it and took a sip, "All have chrysanthemums?"

Su Ruojin smiled back, "This year's new chrysanthemums were dried by the concierge for me. They taste pretty good."

Zhao Lan nodded, "Yeah." He took another sip.

Su Ruojin turned around and gave Fan Yanjia and the other three a drink each.

Xue Wulang quickly stood up and took the cup, "Thank you, Ajin."

"You're welcome." Su Ruojin reminded with a smile, "Sit down."

Xue Wulang blushed, smiled shyly and sat down.

A few steps away, Zhao Lan saw everything.

As if he felt something, Xue Wulang turned his eyes and met the faint eyes of Prince Zhao. Between his lips, he suddenly looked away and looked at the chess game. It seemed that nothing happened. In fact, he was already panicking in his heart. Horses are in chaos.

He was unexpectedly caught by Prince Zhao. For a moment, he didn't know what to do. He...he didn't think of doing anything, just...just take a look at Ah Jin.

After pouring tea for the young men, he placed the teapot on half the table. He glanced at the servants at the door and signaled them to come in and refill the tea if their master ran out of it.

The boys at the door nodded at the same time.

Su Ruojin smiled and left his father's study.

Zhao Lan put down the cup and followed her out.

When Su Ruojin turned around, she didn't see Zhao Lan get up and follow him out, so she didn't know yet. She was going to the kitchen to prepare some midnight snacks. She would definitely be hungry when her brother and Young Master Fan finished playing chess, so she would give them something to eat.

Seeing the two people leaving one after another, Xue Wulang withdrew his peripheral vision, his eyes seemed to fall on the chessboard where Fan and Su were playing against each other, and he seemed to be looking into the void, feeling empty in his heart.

The Su family's new house was relatively large. To go to the kitchen, she had to walk through a long corridor and a corridor. She hummed a tune as she walked. In October, it was quite cold at night. She couldn't help but shiver. As soon as she reached out to gather her clothes, she was taken into a warm room. embrace.

"Brother Jin!" Su Ruojin raised her little face and shouted sweetly.

Zhao Lan stretched out his other hand and tapped her little nose, "What are you doing?"

"Prepare a midnight snack for you."

"What are you going to do?"

Zhao Lan hugged the young lady and walked towards the kitchen together.

"Brother Jin, what do you want to eat?"

"what you up to?"

"I want to make small wontons and put them on the table. When you are hungry, I will ask Sister Chunxiao to serve them to you."

"You want to sleep?"

Su Ruojin nodded sincerely, "I'm sleepy and want to sleep."

The sleepy little lady had a nasal voice that was sweet and glutinous. Zhao Lan palpitated when she heard this. He wished he could marry her home right now. He finally controlled his heartbeat and hugged the little lady to the kitchen.

Watching the young lady making and kneading the dough, Zhao Lan also wanted to help. Su Ruojin didn't mind him making trouble and taught him how to roll out dough and wrap wontons.

No matter what you do, as long as you are together, it is the happiest thing.

Mr. Yang came out of the palace and got into a luxurious carriage. The carriage was surrounded by dozens of guards in a majestic formation.

Dark clouds cover the moon, and the palace lanterns are dim. Yang Jingzi sat in the carriage, closing his eyes and concentrating.

The sound of horses' hooves and the rolling wheels of carriages floated on the huge imperial street. When the patrolmen and watchmen encountered his carriage, they automatically avoided it.

The carriage moved forward without any obstruction.

Suddenly, there was a sound of wind blowing in his ears. Just as Yang Jingzi suddenly opened his eyes, there was a 'swish' sound, and the arrows sank into the carriage. He tilted his head and dodged, and then fell down in the carriage.

Swish, swish... countless arrows were shot towards the carriage.

The chief guard shouted, "Protect your lord." He drew his sword to block the man in black who was rushing towards him.

In the blink of an eye, there was a fight.

After struggling for more than half an hour, Su Ruojin finally wrapped the wontons and opened her mouth, "I can't stand it anymore, Brother Jin, I'm going to sleep. You can go to the guest room to sleep too."

"I send you."

Just at home, what do you want to give? She couldn't help it, she was so sleepy and laughing that she even burst into tears. She wiped her tears with one hand and waved her hand to stop her, "No need, it's really unnecessary."

Zhao Lan smiled and said nothing and just followed her.

It's really a sweet burden, okay, if he wants to give it, let him give it.

Zhao Lan stretched out his hand.

She looked at his slender hands and raised her eyes again.

He raised his hand a little higher and smiled.

Everything is left unsaid. Su Ruojin's eyebrows curved and she offered her hand.

The boy held the girl in his arms and walked side by side through the corridor to her courtyard.

In the long corridor, in the cold night, Su Ruojin's slightly cold hand was held by Zhao Lan with warmth and reassurance. She couldn't help but shake their hand, and suddenly she thought, "It would be great to live forever like this." good.

"Yes."

Su Ruojin turned to look at the noble master in surprise, "Did you hear that?"

"Um."

Uh...she didn't say it just now, did she?

Zhao Lan had a smile on his face, as if he knew what you were thinking.

Deserve a fight.

Su Ruojin deliberately shook off his hand, and the two of them were laughing and joking, and soon arrived at Su Ruojin's yard, "Good night, brother Jin."

Zhao Lan didn't want to and looked towards her courtyard.

The little lady snorted, and when she got the chance, she turned around and ran away, without giving anyone a chance to come in and sit down.

Mao Ya carefully and quickly closed the courtyard door.

Finally no longer tired of it.

Santai hurried forward and said in a low voice, "Master, there is news over there that their plan has failed again."

A gentle smile instantly froze at the corner of his mouth.

"How many times this month?"

"Return to the master, this is already the third time."

With long legs and long strides, Zhao Lan quickly left the little lady's yard, "How is the investigation over there?"

"Master, I finally have some clues."

Zhao Lan looked around, quickly arrived at his guest room in Su's house, and waited until the door and window were completely closed before letting Santai speak.

"In order to devour our Yin Dynasty, the Liaoxia Kingdom began to learn Chinese culture forty or fifty years ago and intermarry with educated Han people. According to research, outstanding Han people were reused by the Liaoxia King. One of the family's surname was Gou. He had a high status in the Liaoxia Kingdom and became the governor. Most of his sons served in the Liao Dynasty. Their looks were very Chinese and even somewhat similar to Mr. Yang, so our people focused on this to investigate. I discovered that one of the dead sons of the Gou family died in a very strange way. He was originally fine, but he died as soon as he said he was going to die. Moreover, the Gou family dismissed many slaves in the year of his death. "

"Then find these dismissed slaves and dig out the secrets."

"Yes, Master, I will deliver the message to the north immediately."

The assassination failed, but the man in black was either killed or committed suicide by biting his tongue. Yang Jingzi did not get a single survivor. He squinted at the body lying on the cold ground and said, "Tonight, all the patrolmen on this street will be killed."

"Yes, sir."

"Replace with someone new."

"Yes, sir."

In a dark little room, a thin, disfigured young lady put her ear to the dark room, listening carefully, and finally heard a few words clearly, "Failed again."

Outside the dark room, someone said quietly: "His fate is really great."

"Master, I heard that Prince Zhao has a magical weapon. If he uses this magical weapon, will he kill the man named Yang?"

The man turned his head and said, "Since he is the only one who has it, if the man named Yang dies, who will you look for?"

"Yes, you are stupid."

"Has Carpenter Zhang not been found yet?"

"Return to the master, not yet."

The man seemed to have lost his patience, "Then arrest the man named Xue. If you can't dig out the drawings in his mouth, then kill him."

The attendant nodded and bowed, and carefully reminded, "Master, the one named Su is a bit evil. She seems to be able to protect those who are related to her. I'm afraid..."

Protect?

The man turned his head and looked at the dark room, and said slyly, "Then why didn't you protect this?"

Attendant:…

In the dark room, the little lady felt as if she was being stared at by a venomous snake. She was so frightened that she retreated to the other wall, trembling all over.

Outside the darkroom, the man asked: "Did Xue see her last time?"

"Go back to the master, I think Xue saw it."

"Why hasn't that Su come to the rescue? Is she useless?"

"this…"

The next day, Su Dalang and others went to school. Zhao Lan left Su's house. Before leaving, he specifically said, "Don't go out. If something happens, wait for me to come and go with you."

Su Ruojin nodded, "Okay, get busy."

After everyone left, Su Ruojin asked the concierge to bring all the pepper seeds he had collected and prepare them for planting in Weizhou County next year. After next autumn, there will be a lot of seeds. Year after year, unknowingly, Once chili becomes popular, it will be the same as ordinary dishes.

It's incredible to think about it, she is the promoter of this product!

Isn't that amazing?

The concierge father saw the little master smiling wildly and couldn't help but ask, "Second Lady, is this spicy thing really so good?"

Awakened by the sound, Su Ruojin realized that she was giggling.

"Of course, next time I'll make a pot..."

Before Su Ruojin finished speaking, her father waved his hand, "No, no, I can't eat spicy food."

Su Ruojin:…

Can a life without eating spicy food still be called life?

Dad: ...What's the point?
