"No way!"
Listening to Kong Qiuyue's words, Xiao Yunu looked at him shyly again.
But Kong Qiuyue looked at Xiao Yunu helplessly, thought for a while, and finally said nothing.
After another three quarters of an hour, the carriage finally stopped in front of a vermilion-green gate.
The plaque on the gate clearly bears the word "Confucius Mansion".
This is the residence of Kong Lingda, a great scholar who is famous throughout Daliang, and it is also the home of Kong Qiuyue.
Looking at the door of the house that was close at hand, and then at the sky above her head, Kong Qiuyue turned to look at Xiao Yunu who had just stuck his head out and said: "Your Highness, my father compiled ancient books late at night last night, and he is probably not awake yet. , I will ask Xianju to let you go to my residence later, and you wait for me there. I will go to the study to get the chess records and then go find you."
Although Kong Lingda was a famous scholar in the five Central Plains countries in Beiliang at that time, he was also quite proficient and obsessed with chess.
Therefore, apart from classics, the most abundant items in his house were chess records.
"Oh, sister Qiuyue, can you not learn chess records?"
Upon hearing Kong Qiuyue mention the chess records again, Xiao Yunu's brows suddenly furrowed into the character "Chuan" and she looked at Kong Qiuyue aggrievedly.
"That won't work. This is something that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Concubine Ling have personally handed down. I can't make the decision."
Kong Qiuyue stretched out her hand and gently pinched Xiao Yunu's small and white nose, looking at Xiao Yunu with a teasing look.
"Oh, it's fatal."
Hearing this, Xiao Yunu sighed again.
But she still walked obediently and with the maid of Kong Mansion towards Kong Qiuyue's room.
Seeing Xiao Yunu walking towards her room, Kong Qiuyue smiled helplessly again.
She didn't know whether it was a good or bad thing for Xiao Yunu's naive temperament to marry Da Qian.
But the only thing he knew was that Zhao Dingshi didn't seem to be that easy to get along with.
"Miss."
Watching Kong Qiuyue walk towards the study, an old man who looked like a butler walked over.
Seeing the old man approaching, Kong Qiuyue asked: "Uncle Zhou, is my father still awake?"
"not yet."
The old man smiled helplessly.
"Okay, then I'll go there by myself."
Listening to the old man's words, Kong Qiuyue also smiled helplessly.
My father didn't care about anything, but he was particularly obsessed with the compilation of this ancient book.
He took the maid and walked alone towards the attic in the back garden of Confucius' mansion where the chess records were hidden.
However, the two of them hadn't left for long.
The maid beside Kong Qiuyue suddenly exclaimed: "Miss, look over there!"
"What's wrong?"
Kong Qiuyue asked with a frown, looking in the direction of the maid's finger.
In the pavilion not far away, there were two figures in loose clothing sitting opposite each other.
An old man with gray hair and a young man with elegant temperament.
The young man has an elegant and handsome appearance, a temperament as gentle as jade, and looks very bookish. There is also a trace of laziness between his eyebrows, which gives people an unforgettable feeling of being fond of him at a glance.
Kong Qiuyue was born in the Confucius family, a scholarly family. She had been working in the palace since she was a child. The young talents she had seen were like crucian carp crossing the river, but now she could not help but feel a little lost when she saw this young man.
"Miss, miss..."
It wasn't until the maid next to her called several times that Kong Qiuyue came back to her senses.
Seeing her like this, the maid beside her couldn't help but smile foolishly and said playfully: "In the past, the young masters from other princes and noble families lost their minds when they saw the young lady, but this time it was the other way around."
But when she said this, the maid pursed her lips and smiled again: "But that young master is indeed good-looking, and the servants are very tempted~"
Being teased like this, Kong Qiuyue's fair face was stained with two red clouds.
He reached out and pinched the maid's cheek, and said with some embarrassment: "You are becoming more and more presumptuous now. You even dare to tease me, young lady, right?"
"Miss, I was wrong."
Although the maid begged for mercy, she still looked at Kong Qiuyue with a smile on her face.
My young lady is a well-known talented woman in Beiliang. Even Xu Ruoyun is no worse than Zhao Qian. Over the years, countless people from the entire Beiliang gentry circle have come to propose marriage, but all of them have been politely rejected by my young lady in the name of the master. .
Now I saw that my young lady actually saw a man in a trance.
This is really an unprecedented first time.
After the two made a fuss, Kong Qiuyue clapped her hands and said, "Let's go over and have a look."
"ah?"
The maid's eyes widened and she looked at her young lady in surprise.
She didn't expect that her young lady would be so bold.
However, Kong Qiuyue smiled slightly, pointed to her clothes, and casually put the hat in her hand on her head.
The official uniform, which was already somewhat neutral, suddenly looked more neutral after being paired with this hat.
But even so, it still couldn't hide the heroic spirit between Kong Qiuyue's eyebrows.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, spring hasn't even arrived yet, Miss Ye, are you starting to miss spring?"
The little maid looked at Kong Qiuyue with a teasing expression.
"Go! Go! Go."
Kong Qiuyue glared at her maid angrily, and then corrected her: "What are you thinking about? I meant to go over and watch them play chess!"
As she spoke, Kong Qiuyue rolled her eyes and glared at her maid.
He turned and walked towards the pavilion.
She already loved chess, otherwise she would not have been dragged by Xiao Dingxuan to teach Xiao Yunu's chess skills.
Now looking at the two people playing chess, and Xiao Yunu having been properly arranged, naturally he couldn't help but want to watch.
Of course, she also wanted to see who the young man in white robe was.
In her memory, there seemed to be no such person among the gentry circles in Luoyang City.
There is no one who looks so...good-looking...
On the other side, the two people in the pavilion were playing chess intently.
"Draw a cart and eat a horse."
Zhao Ding gently knocked down a chess piece, then picked up the red "horse" on the chessboard in front of Yang Fu, pointed at the "handsome" behind the horse and said with a smile: "Old Master, it seems that this game I win again.”
The two of them originally came to see Kong Lingda, but Kong Lingda hadn't woken up yet, and Yang Fu, who was already old and half a student, didn't want to disturb him.
So I sat down in the pavilion.
And when I was bored, I could only play chess.
Looking at the black "rook" on the chessboard in front of him, which directly killed him, Yang Fu lowered his head and looked at the chessboard for a long time, and finally sighed helplessly: "My lord, your chess skills are really superb. The national champion, the veteran is willing to bow down."
Yang Fu said with a wry smile.
What they are playing is not Go in the traditional sense, but chess.
This was something Zhao Ding came up with when he was bored on the road.
At first, Yang Fu didn't pay much attention to this simple chess game with only thirty-two pieces, thinking it was too simple.
But as he played, he was attracted by this new chess game called "Xiangqi", but after playing with Zhao for a long time, he never won a game.
All results were lost.
Today they came to visit Kong Lingda, and this chess piece was also a gift that Zhao Ding planned to give to Kong Lingda, intending to use it to promote Zhao Qian's culture.
But no matter what, Kong Lingda hasn't woken up yet, so he has no choice but to pass the time here by playing chess.
Zhao Ding put away the chess pieces and said with a smile: "I have only been exposed to the old master for a short time, and it is already quite remarkable to reach this level."
In his previous life, he was the provincial chess champion. If he couldn't even beat the novices, then Zhao Ding would be really embarrassed. ,
"One more!"
Yang Fu rubbed his hands in a very graceless manner and looked at Zhao Ding with a challenging look in his eyes. He had not encountered such a challenge for a long time.
"Come!"
Zhao Ding was too lazy to refuse, so he arranged the chess pieces and started a new game.
The two people's concentration was not simple either. At this time, someone had already arrived in the pavilion.
