After returning from rebirth, the eldest sister of Hou family destroyed her household registration b

Xiao Jinzhi was startled for a moment and looked at Chu Huanyan, as if seeking confirmation.

Chu Huanyan's eyes deepened, and after a moment, she looked at Xiao Jinzhi and sighed helplessly.

"My chess game is indeed the worst. I have never beaten anyone in my sect."

"It didn't mean now." Xiao Jinzhi regained his playful expression, "Miss Chu, why don't you give it a try, so that I and you can watch the excitement."

Chu Huanyan frowned and asked Mu Feng, "Senior brother, are you willing?"

The smile on Mu Feng's face has not faded yet, "If junior sister is willing, I have no objection."

Soon, the bet was decided.

With Nuanyu Chess as the bet, one game determines the outcome.

If Chu Huanyan wins, Nuan Yuqi will be returned; if she loses, she will dance on the high platform.

While Xiao Rongxuan asked people to prepare the chessboard and everyone stood up, Xiao Jinzhi walked to Chu Huanyan's side.

"Miss Chu, please do it well."

After speaking with a smile, Xiao Jinzhi lowered his voice again.

"Winning or losing doesn't matter. Try to delay as much time as possible. I will think of a way to let Qin Li destroy the high platform first."

Chu Huanyan glanced at Xiao Jinzhi, "This is the Third Prince's Mansion after all. It should be difficult for His Highness to do something without leaving any trace."

Xiao Jinzhi didn't speak, and it was impossible to leave no trace. However, in the final analysis, what happened today was caused by him, so he would not really let Chu Huanyan take the risk on that high platform.

"In this case, Your Highness doesn't need to do anything." Chu Huanyan said in a low voice, "Even if I am really forced to go up that high platform, or even fall from the high platform, Your Highness must leave it alone."

Xiao Jinzhi frowned.

"Your Highness knows very well that if you take action, I'm afraid my daughter will be in even more trouble in the future." Chu Huanyan's eyes were calm.

Xiao Jinzhi was stunned for a moment. Did Chu Huanyan not want to have anything to do with him?

An indescribable loss flashed through his heart, but Xiao Jinzhi also knew that letting it go was the best way.

only……

"Too dangerous."

"My daughter has her own sense of proportion."

After saying that, Chu Huanyan felt blessed, raised her voice, and said respectfully.

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I will do my best."

The chessboard and positions have been arranged, and Chu Huanyan and Mu Feng took their seats respectively.

Chu Huanyan held the white chess piece and made the first move.

Everyone gathered around to watch. Liu Zhaoran was worried and asked Liu Qianran.

"Brother, do you know this Mr. Mu? How is his chess skills?"

Liu Qianran's brows narrowed slightly, "He is Mr. Shen Xi's eldest disciple. He has been in the sect for the longest time. I heard that his chess skills are the best among his sect."

Liu Qianran paused, lowered his voice, and added another sentence.

"I once played a game of chess with him, and with just one stick of incense, I couldn't resist him anymore."

Mu Feng's chess is very different from what he gives people. The chess style is fierce and decisive, like a ferocious tiger that bites and tears, constantly attacking, but at the same time, the defense is meticulous, making it difficult to leave anyone behind. Chance.

On the chessboard, just after a dozen moves were played, Mu Feng's offensive was revealed. On the other hand, Chu Huanyan's moves looked increasingly lukewarm and lackluster.

Many people around him had almost sentenced Chu Huanyan to death in their hearts.

"With the same sect, the difference in chess style is too big!"

"That's right. With Miss Chu's chess skills, I'm afraid that after half a stick of incense at most, she will throw away her armor and surrender."

Listening to the slightly mocking words of the crowd, Liu Zhaoran and Pei Zhaoqing both frowned and felt worried.

Chu Huanyan, on the other hand, still sat there expressionless, moving slowly.

"Junior sister, you still remember that when the teacher taught you to play chess, he was most... attentive."

"Senior brother, you want to say that it's the biggest headache." Chu Huanyan smiled.

Mu Feng raised his eyes and glanced at Chu Huanyan, acquiescing to this statement.

After retracting his gaze, he continued: "I still remember the teacher's evaluation of my junior sister's chess skills back then - she is obsessed with the appearance and it is difficult to see the inside."

"The teacher is right. At that time, I was often confused by the superficial situation of the chess game. By the time I came back to my senses and realized the opponent's layout, the situation was already over and there was no way to recover." Chu Huanyan fell down, neither lightly nor seriously. Zi, stop Mu Feng's most violent attack.

Mu Feng stared at Chu Huanyan's position, shook his head and said, "It's been five years, and it seems that junior sister still hasn't made much progress."

If you continue to intercept your superficial offensive, you will only be led by the nose.

Originally, he was thinking that maybe Chu Huanyan had made some progress after not seeing each other for five years, but looking at it now, apart from his chess style becoming slightly more stable, there was still no progress.

"I haven't played chess for a long time." Chu Huanyan laughed, "After all, I don't have the leisure and time."

"What books has Junior Sister read recently?" Mu Feng asked casually.

"Read it." Chu Huanyan nodded, "Ledger."

Those shops have opened recently, and what she reads most in her spare time is the account books.

There were a few sneers from the onlookers.

Mu Feng paused while holding the chess piece, then looked at Chu Huanyan again. Seeing that the other party's expression was sincere and not joking, after a moment of silence, Luo Zi spoke.

"If the teacher knew, I'm afraid he would be very disappointed."

"I also think that the teacher is probably disappointed with me, but it's not because I read the account books." Chu Huanyan picked up a white jade chess piece and still looked at the chessboard intently, "After all, whether it's a book or an account book, even though it's a It is the wisdom of the sages, and the other is the livelihood of merchants and people, but who said that the latter must be vulgar and meaningless."

Mu Feng frowned, "There is a difference between one with white snow and one with the smell of copper."

Chu Huanyan continued to place her child, "The lotus is noble, but it is rooted in the mud. Everyone praises the character of the lotus and hates the filthy mud. But if there is no mud under the feet, how can its fragrance be far away and clear, and it will not spread or branch."

"If there were no farmers to farm, raise silkworms and reel silk, and if there were no merchants to trade and run the business properly, how would there be food, clothing, and all kinds of utensils? Even the paper and pen and ink used to write books would mostly come from merchants. sell."

"Classics and historical articles and ancient books can open up people's wisdom, spread culture, and educate people. These are good. But if everyone in the world only values ​​literature and despises or even dislikes farmers and merchants, thinking that farmers are vulgar and merchants are smelly, Everything you see is contempt and disdain from above. Not to mention the consequences of such thoughts, people who have such thoughts may not even understand the book."

Chu Huanyan's tone was gentle, with a smile on her lips, and her unhurried words seemed to be just casual chatting, but every word was exceptionally sharp.

Like a gust of wind in spring, it seems to revive everything and melt the ice and snow, but inside it is filled with the chill of spring.

As the words fell, Chu Huanyan picked up a chess piece again, finally raised her head, and looked at the frowning Mu Feng with a smile.

"Also, senior brother, you are going to lose."
