Of course Xu Shu guessed that the person sitting in front of him must be the old master of the Qin family, Qin Yuanshan.
He also had some information about Qin Yuanshan. Qin Yuanshan, who was in his mid-seventies at the time, looked like he was only in his early sixties.
Qin Yuanshan did not have any outstanding achievements. He only served as editor of the Hanlin Academy in the imperial court of the Zhou Dynasty. His most prominent status was that of the Prince's Young Master, the Confucian classics teacher of the last emperor.
Of course, what people at the time paid more attention to was that the ruler had studied under him.
After the last emperor succeeded to the throne, under the orders of the empress dowager, Qin Yuanshan also served as the ruler and lecturer of the last emperor.
Nowadays, Qin Yuanshan has been idle at home for many years, and the Qin family has not produced many talented and talented children. Although there are many officials in the government, they are all in the civil service system and their influence is not great.
But with Qin Yuanshan here, the Qin family's prestige will never fade, otherwise it would not attract the Nalan family, a top family, to want to marry the Qin family.
Qin Yuanshan's harmless elder appearance, in Xu Shu's eyes, was completely the incarnation of an old fox who had become a spirit through cultivation.
After the battle just now, Xu Shu believed that if he hadn't activated the Tiantian Gong, Qin Yuanshan would never have stopped.
At this moment, the old guy is attacking Qin Bing again and wants to be his cheap grandfather. How can Xu Shu fall in love?
Xu Shu cupped his hands and said, "This junior has recognized too many relatives recently, and most of them are ruthless people. I really can't bear to have any more relatives."
After being clearly rejected by Xu Shu, the smile on Qin Yuanshan's face remained undiminished, "I have heard about the affairs between you and the Xu family. Why, you don't plan to return to the family?"
Xu Shu said, "This junior has nothing to do with the Xu family. In a few days, the Xu family should figure it out for themselves and make it known to the public.
The old timer has left me here, but I don’t know what advice he can give? "
Qin Yuanshan's eyes flickered, Xu Shu's words clearly told him that the Xu family had settled things down.
He couldn't understand how the Xu family could let Xu Shu escape so easily, let alone what method Xu Shu used to escape from the murderous weapon of filial piety.
"I have long heard that there is an astonishing talent in Dongdu. When I see him today, he is well-deserved. Now that you have entered my house, I, as the master, cannot avoid you at all."
Qin Yuanshan said cheerfully.
"Senior, that's a ridiculous compliment. If nothing happens, senior, I'll take my leave."
Qin Yuan Mountain is like a bottomless cold pool. Even if Xu Shu activates his observer power, he cannot see through Qin Yuan Mountain.
Xu Shu felt like he was sitting on pins and needles after staying with such an unfathomable old guy for a while.
"What's the rush? I'm not a man-eating monster."
Qin Yuanshan knocked on the chessboard, picked up a Go piece and said, "Anyone who can compose that kind of poetry, who can break the game with poetry, must be a genius of the world, with extraordinary intelligence. Do you dare to play a game of chess with me?"
Xu Shu's mind was spinning and he couldn't guess what tricks Qin Yuanshan was playing.
"Why, young people don't even have the courage to do so."
A flash of contempt flashed in Qin Yuanshan's eyes.
Xu Shu leisurely chanted, "Who can use black and white to enter the mysterious world? The body of thousands of reincarnations has a radius.
Buddhists say that the eternal sand calamity should be the first to laugh all the year round. "
"Good sentence, good sentence!"
Qin Yuanshan said, "In the past, I always thought it was an exaggeration to speak out words, but today I can finally see it. It's worth staying up all night."
Xu Shu said, "The seniors have won prizes, and the juniors can only be considered as proficient in the art of chess. However, the juniors have been poor since childhood, and they have always competed with others for the sake of rice.
If the seniors are willing to play chess, the juniors are happy to accompany them, but if they don't gamble, they always feel unhappy. "
"Be bold!"
The man in a hat snorted coldly.
Xu Shu ignored the man in the bamboo hat and just stared at Qin Yuanshan with a smile.
He couldn't figure out why Qin Yuanshan asked him to play chess, so he simply added a bet to muddy the waters.
"What do you want to bet on?"
Qin Yuanshan tapped the chessboard lightly, and the smile on his face became stronger.
"Senior, should you know what I want?"
"This old man is helpless. The marriage between the Qin family and the Nalan family was decided by Quanzi, and I approved it. The day after tomorrow is the engagement period. The marriage between the two families is related to the two families. How can it be ruined by a game of chess."
Qin Yuanshan's answer did not surprise Xu Shu.
"In this case, it's okay not to play this chess."
"It seems that my little friend's gambling habit is really serious. So, except for what you asked for just now, you can make other bets according to your heart. This addiction to chess will happen sooner or later, but now it happens."
Xu Shu became more and more curious as to why Qin Yuanshan insisted on playing chess with him. He wanted to refuse immediately and then left.
Suddenly, a flash of light flashed through, "In that case, I just want to accompany you."
As he spoke, Xu Shu opened his big hands, and a jade box appeared in his palm. When he opened it, a white demon core was quietly stored in it.
Qin Yuanshan's eyes lit up, "The innate demon core is still white. It can be called a rare treasure. It seems that my little friend has quite a lot of experience in playing chess."
Xu Shu said, "This junior has nothing but courage. He can still afford to lose with a white demon core. May I ask, senior, what will you bet on?"
Qin Yuanshan frowned, "I do have a few treasures, but they are either not as good as your demon core, or far better than them. It hurts me to take the expensive ones; I suffer from the cheap ones. It's really difficult."
"The seniors are old and virtuous, so naturally they will not let the juniors suffer."
Xu Shu can talk cheaply.
Qin Yuanshan shook his head, "You kid, don't try to trick me. There is no big or small on the gambling table. If you are willing to suffer a loss, I am not willing to suffer a loss. I will use this thing to gamble. Do you have something suitable?"
Then Qin Yuanshan took out a stone the size of a fingernail. The stone was all faceted, with sharp edges and corners, a light green color, and a moist texture.
"Qi Shi?"
Xu Shu raised his eyebrows.
He has seen azure stones, all of which are dark in color and irregular in shape. The one in front of him has a warm texture, a nearly regular shape, and is light cyan, making it look very agile.
"The black one is just a low-grade one. It's not considered a treasure. It's just rare right now. When the Qi coins are released, it won't be a big deal. Although this coin is of the lowest grade, it is a high-grade one after all. At the moment, there are only a few of them on the market. , a rare existence.”
Qin Yuanshan said with a smile.
Xu Shu said, "Senior has to hold the chessboard even when boating at night, which shows that he is an expert. In this bet, I am destined to lose more and win less. It is really unethical for senior to raise the stakes like this."
"This won't work, that won't work either, the young man won't be happy."
"You won't give in an inch, and you will fight for every inch of ground. The old gentleman is so generous."
"Hahaha……"
Qin Yuanshan said, "Forget it, I will use this stone to block your demonic core."
Xu Shu waved his hand, "It's true that I like to gamble, but I never take advantage of others, so I used this stone to bet on the jade pendant on my senior's waist.
The bright yellow Dongge Nuan Jade must be a gift from the emperor. Although it is not an extraordinary treasure, it can be worn by a senior, so it is a rare treasure.
There are many extraordinary treasures in the hands of this junior, but there is no royal gift from the emperor. How about betting on this jade pendant? "
Qin Yuanshan took off the jade pendant and rubbed it carefully, "You have a really vicious eye. This jade pendant was given to me by Emperor Ming Jade when he worshiped me as the prince's young master. I have been with me for almost forty years.
Well, instead of taking advantage of my unworthy son a hundred years later, why not take it as a bet and have fun for a while now? "
