"Mr. Ning, let's go slower so as not to disturb Youchu and the others' thoughts on playing chess."
Ji Jin didn't forget that Youchu wanted to give him a surprise.
Regardless of whether it was successful or not, since she wanted to help with this favor, she had to help her to the end.
"I'm still thinking about stealing some art."
Ning Wuyang joked, seeing that Ji Jin was unmoved, and slowly moved to block half of his body in front of him.
Had to give up.
Carrying food boxes, the group of people suddenly felt that they were about to walk five miles away from the five-hundred-meter road.
Until the sun jumped out from the clouds and its light shone thousands of feet high, they finally reached the courtyard where they usually receive guests.
Standing at the door, I saw Shen Youchu standing under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, jumping and flapping butterflies.
Hua Yi, on the other hand, was sitting on the stone bench, staring at the chessboard on the stone table, tilting his head, looking horizontally and vertically, left and right, his lips trembling from time to time, and he didn't know whether he was talking about the quintessence of Chinese culture or the quintessence of Chinese culture. Interjection, anyway, he doesn’t look too good.
You can tell at a glance who loses and who wins.
"Master Ning, you are finally here. Is the food ready? I'm already hungry."
Shen Youchu held a colorful butterfly, jumped to Ji Jin's side and bit his ear.
Ji Jin's face suddenly showed a hint of disappointment.
"I can only settle for the next best thing. That's fine. Master Hua, that old fox, won't be fooled..."
Ning Wuyan only heard Shen Youchu's complaints at the end.
He heard a little confused.
Didn't Shen Youchu win?
Why did Ji Jin look disappointed?
Could it be that Hua Yi didn't agree to treat his injuries?
Full of doubts, Ning Wuyang walked towards the stone table and asked tentatively: "Master Hua, are you going to eat in the courtyard or go inside?"
"I don't like to eat with others. Bring me my share. I'll eat here while I advise."
Hua Yi didn't even raise his head. He held a black piece in his hand and his eyes were still glued to the chessboard.
Regarding such a request, Ning Wuhao didn't think that Hua Yi was disrespectful, so he directly asked Ji Jin to hand over the food box.
In order not to disturb Huayi's chess viewing, he had someone move a small table that was about the same height as a stone table, and put the fried mushrooms, side dishes, and rice on it.
"This rice is new rice that ripened early in the two days before Zhuangzi. The farmers just pounded the rice and sent some."
Ning Wuyang made a special introduction.
Hua Yi finally raised his head, smiled and nodded at Ning Wuchang, accepting the farmers' thanks.
But then he lowered his head again, observing the black and white stones on the chessboard, and his fingers were still gesturing on the chess moves just now.
Ning Wuhuang was not proficient in Go. He was just getting started. He could not see how exquisite the game was. He only knew that judging from the gap between the two sides, Heizi lost miserably.
It's no wonder that Hua Yi doesn't even think the food in front of him tastes good.
Eat it if you like.
Respect other people's choices.
"Miss Shen, Miss Ji, you are hungry, hurry up and eat."
It wasn't until another table's food box was opened that the aroma of food wafted over.
Hua Yi swallowed and heard Yun Fei's cheerful sound of eating. His mind was in a mess. He threw the black pieces in his hand into the chess box and opened the food box in a depressed mood.
I felt relieved all of a sudden.
"I thought the fried mushrooms were served by Miss Ji and would be unsatisfactory, but I didn't expect that the cook in Zhangjiazhuang is really good at it."
The unexpected joy made Hua Yi feel that he had just lost a game of chess, and he didn't feel so uncomfortable anymore.
Looking at the injured Ning Wuyan, it was much more pleasing to the eye.
Anyway, there are chefs in Zhangjiazhuang, and it is also close to Hanshan Temple.
When he had nothing to do, he could finish the meal and prescribe the medicine, then go to Hanshan Temple to find Xu Zhizhen to hone his chess skills. Sooner or later, he would defeat Shen Youchu and accept him as his disciple.
As for Shen Youchu's statement that he wanted to recommend others to be his disciples, Hua Yi chose to ignore it.
"Master Hua, please clean your hands."
The boy next to him saw Hua Yi put down the chess pieces and quickly brought the copper basin and handkerchief.
Hua Yi waved his hand and said no, walked to the pool in the yard, scooped water from the bucket and washed his hands, picked up the chopsticks, and started to eat happily.
When Ning Wuhao saw this, he asked the boy who was serving Hua Yi to leave. He also became more interested in Master Hua, who was doing his own work and having enough food and clothing.
"Master Ning, don't worry, I will make Master Hua your master sooner or later."
Shen Youchu suddenly said this, successfully making Ning Wuyan divert his attention.
Um?
Find him a master?
Ji Jin also didn't expect that Shen Youchu would tell the truth if he didn't succeed.
When Shen Youchu saw Ning Wuyao's puzzled look, he looked at Ji Jin in surprise: "Jin'er, you didn't tell Mr. Ning?"
"without……"
"I thought you weren't good at lying. You would tell Mr. Ning when he asked. If I had known, I wouldn't have told you. It would be embarrassing if things didn't work out."
"..."
Ji Jin simply buried his head in his job and pretended not to know this good friend.
She is indeed not good at pretending in front of Mr. Ning, but in order to satisfy her friend's wish for a surprise, she is willing to lie against her conscience.
I feel as if I have been underestimated by Youchu.
Although she didn't tell the truth, it was because Mr. Ning didn't get to the bottom of it.
Ning Wuyan waited for the two to finish the riddle, staring straight at Shen Youchu's face with a half-smile.
Shen Youchu, who also wanted to bury her face in the rice bowl, felt a wave of fever on her face, and finally finished half the bowl of rice. Seeing that Ning Wuyan still didn't look away, she could only put down the bowl and pouted.
"Okay, I said, this is it..."
She tried to use her chess game to win over Huayi, and wanted Huayi to accept Ning Wuhuang as his disciple. However, Huayi didn't agree, so she had to settle for the next best thing and let Huayi agree to treat the injury and tell the truth.
Afraid that Ning Wuyang would think her troublesome, Shen Youchu specifically pointed out the benefits of becoming Hua Yi's apprentice.
"Although Master Hua can only be the fifth-rank supervisor of Qintian Prison, your Majesty has great trust in him, and he is indeed capable. No matter he is a high-ranking official or a commoner, as long as he is a familiar person in the capital, They all recognize him, and I think if Mr. Ning becomes his disciple, if nothing else, at least Zhou An will not dare to bully you like before."
Shen Youchu was protective of his shortcomings.
But she also knew that Mr. Ning had his own dignity and was unwilling to ask her for help in everything. He simply wanted to solve the problem from the root.
Since Mr. Ning is not willing to rely on the power of the Shen family, he should find someone else to support him.
"Thank you, Miss Shen, for planning this for me."
Ning Wuyan bowed his hands solemnly, making Shen Youchu even more embarrassed.
She failed again.
"It's already amazing that you can let Master Hua heal my injuries. Master Hua doesn't want to accept me as his disciple. It can only be said that we are not destined."
Ning Wuyan really wanted to get acquainted with Master Hua. There are many ways to make friends.
But he never thought about being someone else's apprentice.
In this etiquette society where "one day is a teacher, life is a father", finding one more master is equivalent to finding one more father.
Huayi's reputation and status would indeed be beneficial to him, but he really didn't need it.
Shen Youchu understood it all at once and sighed with mixed emotions: "Since Mr. Ning doesn't really want to be this apprentice, then forget it. You will never have to play chess with this stinky chess player again. After seeing so many The remaining score is still not improving.”
Good guy, Miss Shen, your words are somewhat level, but more of a bit poisonous.
Ning Wuyang complained secretly: Is it because you were rejected by Master Hua and the matter didn't get done, and now you don't have to do it anymore, so you deliberately provoked Master Hua?
But in front of the client, Master Hua, he naturally couldn't ask questions, so he could only put a piece of tender fish belly meat into Shen Youchu's bowl to block her trouble-making mouth.
It's a pity it's too late.
