Chapter 97 The old man playing chess
What a strange old man.

Looking at the back that was gradually going away, Ye Chu muttered in his heart, and then walked towards the other direction of the street.

Because he was going to attend the Qin Manor's dinner tonight, and as his first visit, Ye Chu had to arrive early whether it was due to politeness or family acquaintances.

Therefore, he didn't intend to run far today, but just took Xiaochan around.After all these days, Ye Chu is still a little unfamiliar with everything around his home.Since I'm free this morning, let's take a good look, don't be embarrassed if the neighbors in the street see you but don't know each other.

The street where Ye Mansion is located is called Xishui Street, and there are less than ten families in front and back, and his Ye Mansion is right in the middle.

Going east along the street, every time she passed a house, Xiao Chan would tell Ye Chu the general situation of the house, occasionally mixed with some rumors that she heard from nowhere.

For example, the family next door to Uncle Wang is full of daughters and there is no male, or Aunt Li's family gave birth to a very beautiful twin and so on.

Soon, Ye Chu and the two reached the end of the street.

"Young master, those two old grandpas are playing chess again." At this time, Xiao Chan suddenly pointed to the front and cheered a little.

Looking in the direction Xiaochan pointed, I saw two old people sitting under a big tree not far in front of them. Judging by their clothes, they should be from wealthy families.

"Why, Xiaochan knows them?" Hearing this, Ye Chu asked a little strangely.

In the past two days, at least he has passed by here more than a dozen times, but he has never seen it before.

"Well, the two old grandpas are great. A few times before, when Xiaochan came out to buy pens and ink for the young master, the grandpa in white gave Xiaochan a lot of candy. He also said that if he wanted to eat in the future, he would Come here." Speaking of this, Xiao Chan was obviously a little embarrassed.

Hehe, with a few candies, you can make him a good person.He usually looks very clever, but when he sees candies, he becomes silly.

Ye Chu shook his head speechlessly.

It seems that the safety education of the little girl should be strengthened.Otherwise, you will be kidnapped by a bad sorghum in the future, and you will foolishly count the money.

Having nothing to do, Ye Chu walked over.

At this moment, the two old men were playing chess concentratingly, and it seemed that they didn't notice anyone approaching.

And Ye Chu didn't bother deliberately, but just quietly stood behind one of them and watched.

These days, ordinary scholars mostly play Go, and what they pay attention to is the kind of masterful posture of strategizing.

Although chess incorporates Confucianism and has too much hierarchy, ordinary people are keen on it because of the passionate atmosphere of deploying troops on the battlefield.So the streets and alleys can be everywhere.

"General!"

As the old man in white pulled the 'car' to the position of the opponent's 'phase', the red side finally became a dead game.

The other gray-clothed old man stared at the chessboard for a long time, but couldn't think of a way to crack it, and finally gave up somewhat unwillingly.

"Hmph, today you are lucky to win."

"You stubborn old man, if you lose, you lose. Why did you win by luck? I haven't seen you for two months, and I still have that bad temper." Seeing the other party's unconvinced look, the old man in white laughed a little.

And Ye Chu, who was next to him, couldn't help grinning when he saw the two old people whose combined age was over a hundred years old, arguing there like children.

"Hey, the little girl is here." At this time, the old man in white seemed to have suddenly discovered the two of Ye Chu, and then he stopped arguing, but looked at Xiao Chan kindly and said, "Did you come out again to buy it for your young master?" something?"

After hearing this, Ye Chu touched his nose in embarrassment.

And Xiaochan smiled sweetly at the two old people, and said very well: "No, Xiaochan came out with my young master today. Now, this is my young master."

Hearing this, the two old men looked at Ye Chu, and then nodded slightly.He didn't act too cold, but he didn't show much intimacy. It seemed to be entirely out of etiquette.

"Late-born Ye Chu, I met two old people." Ye Chu stepped forward and said respectfully.The reason for being so polite is actually mostly because of Xiao Chan.

"Oh, you're the Ye Chu who's been making a lot of noise lately?" The gray-clothed old man said in surprise when he heard Ye Chu's name.

But the old man in white didn't react much, he just looked at Ye Chu curiously when he saw his friend's surprised eyes.

In the past two months, he went to Bianliang for business, and he didn't come back until yesterday.Didn't he just come back, and was pulled out by the old guy to play chess today.

"It's just me, how dare you ask the two old people their respectful titles?" Ye Yu felt a little uncomfortable being looked at by the two.

"Hehe, Jiang Gong, it seems that you didn't come in vain today." The gray-clothed old man didn't answer Ye Chu's words, but suddenly smiled at his friend and said, "Although this little friend is young, he can see more You should be more thorough."

"Hehe, then today I need to ask for advice." The old man in white, known as Jiang Gong, said with a kind smile on his face when he heard the words.

"Wan Sheng dare not, Wan Sheng is afraid." Ye Chu hurriedly waved his hands.

Just kidding, he heard it very clearly, the old man in white is called Jiang Gonglai.

In today's Great Zhou Dynasty, all those who can bring Mr. X and the like are people with status and status.And when you meet this kind of person, it's better to show some respect, at least you won't suffer a disadvantage.

"Sit down, don't be so reserved, just call me Mr. Jiang, he, hehe, just call him old man." Mr. Jiang has a good self-cultivation, and he doesn't have much airs when he speaks, and said with a pleasant face.

Ye Xiu also understood immediately. He was afraid that the identity of the old man in gray was greater and it was difficult to disclose it.

Both of them are well-cultivated people. Although Ye Xiu's status is not as high as theirs, the whole process of chatting made him feel very comfortable. Unlike the previous time when he went to Shen's mansion, the old master Shen brought him such a big threat. pressure.

After all, it was the first time they met, Ye Chu spent most of his time quietly listening to the two old men talking.As for Xiao Chan, while eating candy, she patted the shoulders of the two old men, and Ye Chu felt jealous when she saw it.

Slowly, Ye Chu also knew that Mr. Jiang lived nearby, and he should have been an official before, but now he is an official at home.As for the gray-clothed old man, Ye Chu still couldn't tell.

"So many things from ancient to modern times are just jokes. If this old man has such a broad-mindedness and freedom, why did he end up in such a situation." After listening to what his friend said, Mr. Jiang sighed, looking a little lonely.

"If you ask me, Mr. Jiang, you are too concerned about those gossips. The merits and demerits will be judged by future generations, not what those people say." The gray-clothed old man shook his head.
