Feng Siyao originally thought that it would be easy to win this game. After all, his brother, who was outstanding in everything, had been defeated repeatedly when playing chess with him.
He never thought that the calm and elegant woman opposite him would actually be able to draw with him...
There was a hint of unwillingness and surprise in Feng Siyao's eyes, but more of a suppressed excitement:
"On the day of the flower party, Miss Lin said that she was only proficient in painting skills. I still believed her. After all, it takes a lot of time to practice such wonderful paintings, and naturally she will be inferior in other aspects. I don't think it's because I have a shallow knowledge, Miss Lin. The intelligence of nature is unparalleled."
Gu Ruizhou, Gu Yichen, Ran Gongzi, Lin Jinan and Lin Wanrong, although they did not speak after hearing this, their faces were more or less proud and complacent.
Lin Jinyan said with a smile: "Miss Feng is overly praised. If Miss Feng and the Crown Prince hadn't allowed me to go first and gain the upper hand, I would have been defeated long ago."
Feng Siyao said seriously: "With your chess skills, even if you hold the white piece, you will not lose."
An Zhixian: "Okay, you two, I've made some new tea. If you two continue to be so humble, the tea will get cold."
After hearing this, the two stood up with a smile and sat down at the tea table again with everyone else.
A group of people started teasing about the impending good news between Gu Yichen and Princess Yanling, and joked about the fact that the doorstep of the Lin Mansion had been lowered by three inches recently. They also talked about whether Mobei would give something in exchange for Gewei, and whether they should go to Qin Zongheng's wedding. feast……
Even Lin Wanrong, who usually remained silent without asking any questions, took the initiative to chat for a few words.
We had a great time chatting, and we bought wine and food from outside for lunch, and ate it late at night. It wasn't until it was getting late that everyone went home, still not satisfied.
Before leaving, Feng Siyao asked Lin Jinyan: Can he go to the Lin Mansion to play chess with her?
Lin Jinyan smiled and said: "I wish you could do it. Miss Feng can come anytime she wants, and I'll be waiting for you anytime."
On the carriage back home, Feng Siyao said:
"I finally understand why I like to get along with them. In this crowded Kyoto, it is indeed a blessing to have a group of friends who can forget their identities and have fun while drinking."
Feng Sinian smiled and said, "I feel really comfortable getting along with them. I see that you have a very good impression of Miss Lin, otherwise you wouldn't have said that you want to go to the Lin Mansion."
Feng Siyao nodded: "It's rare to meet an opponent in chess. Although we are not friends yet, I feel that she is not as boring and hypocritical as the daughter next to me. I can play with her."
Feng Sinian sighed: "If father and mother knew that you had made friends, they would also be happy."
Having said this, the brother and sister both fell silent and felt a little depressed.
After Qin Zhixu was enlightened by his uncle's wife, he finished his business in the Duke's Mansion and returned to the Marquis Mansion early. Under the guidance of his dowry, he cooked a few dishes himself and waited in the courtyard.
As soon as the brother and sister stepped into the courtyard, Qin Zhixu, who had been waiting for a long time, greeted him with a smile:
"Brother Si Nian, sister, I spoke a little harshly this morning. I just made a few dishes with my own hands to apologize. I am waiting for you to come back and have dinner together."
Feng Siyao bowed and said calmly:
"Thank you, sister-in-law, I've eaten outside and will go back to my room first."
After that, he went straight back to his yard. Feng Sinian also went back to his study on the pretext that he had eaten.
Qin Zhixu was so angry that he almost tore the handkerchief in his hand, but remembering what his wife said, he suppressed his temper.
After waiting for the time, he cooked another soup and took it to the study. Although Feng Sinian had a cold face, he kept the soup.
When Qin Zhixu saw this, he felt relieved: what his mother said was indeed true, brother Sinian was indeed kind-hearted and soft-hearted.
At the same time, I became even more determined that I would never let others take away Feng Sinian.
