After Lin Jinyan finished speaking, she calmly dropped the black piece and waited for Master Yao to do so with a smile. His desire to win was clearly visible on his face.
Grand Master Yao looked at her for a long time and saw that she was confident and didn't worry about her rejection at all. He couldn't help but feel funny:
"Yanqing, this girl's mother-in-law is indeed a brave and capable Gu family. She can actually use the art of war."
As he spoke, Master Yao took out the white seed and dropped it.
Lin Yanqing looked at her granddaughter playing chess with a loving smile:
"She doesn't know anything about the art of war, but since she is a junior, you will be more lenient."
Chu Chengping and Feng Sinian looked at each other and raised their eyebrows:
Lin Jinyan had made the right calculation. Grand Master Yao couldn't bear the thought of her granddaughter being trapped in the boudoir all her life, mourning and hurting herself, so she gave Yao Huining a chance to leave the palace through a bet, without letting Master Yao openly owe any favors.
She laid her plan out in the open, letting everyone understand it, but there was no objection at all.
An Zhixian: This little fox became friends with Master Yao through Yao Huining.
It was a rare occasion when Taishi Yao was being squeezed like this. The corners of Pingyang Hou Le's mouth almost cracked to the base of his ears, and he gloated:
"Since Yan Yatou is betting against the Grand Master, it's boring for us to do it. Why don't we also bet on the lottery? I'll bet Yan Yatou to win a hundred taels."
Lin Jinyan stared at the chess game, and the smile on her lips deepened. Feng Siyao also placed bets like this during the last horse race. It seemed that he had inherited it.
After saying that, seeing no one taking action, Marquis Pingyang urged:
"Si Nian, Ping'er, Yao'er, hurry up and take custody. Yan Qing, Jin'an, why don't you support your own people?"
Grand Master Yao's expression was indifferent, but there was a slight smile in his eyes:
"This is a chance for you to bet on one person. Even if you win, no one will pay you any money."
Pingyang Hou: "Hahahaha... It doesn't matter whether you win or not. You are playing chess with a little girl, and no one thinks you can win. I feel happy, hahahaha, and you have today, hahaha."
Everyone:...
Master Yao: "Even if I lose to a three-year-old, I can beat you effortlessly. What's the point of being silly?"
Pingyang Hou: "You! Yan Yatou, kill him without leaving any trace of him!"
Lin Jinyan: "Master Hou, I also want to do this, but I can't do it..."
At the end of the game, Taishi Yao was "unfortunately defeated" as expected.
Lin Jinyan stood up and saluted. After thanking Grand Master Yao for his success, she gave up her seat to Marquis Pingyang.
Taking advantage of Taishi Yao's happiness at losing chess, Marquis Pingyang asked Lin Jinyan to tell her about a favorite object that he wanted to give to her.
Lin Jinyan didn't show up either, and she went to Marquis Pingyang to ask for an inscription for the school.
Qin Xian joked: "Girl Yan, you have defeated the Grand Master. It will definitely make people sit up and take notice."
Lin Jinyan shamelessly asked for the reward, and Qin Xian happily agreed to write the inscription.
Chu Chengping looked funny:
"You have gained a lot from this trip."
Lin Jinyan: "I almost forgot about His Royal Highness the King of Qi and the Crown Prince. Both of them are well-educated and talented people, and they are role models for countless students. If my daughter's primary school is blessed with words from both of them, it will definitely inspire the students to study hard."
Feng Sinian shook his head and laughed:
"Can you make ends meet with so many inscriptions?"
"I'm thinking of engraving all the inscriptions on Qiu Lai into a plaque and hanging it in the school. Firstly, it is to encourage students to study hard. Secondly, when others see it, they will know that I have a strong support and they will not dare to come to the school to cause trouble. I am just an intermediary. Nvliu, I want to use your reputation to show off your power."
