If you don't go to the house, you are not a gentleman

light snow.

Anle was lying on the stone table in the backyard, the cold penetrated into Anle's bones through his clothes, but he just looked at the plum tree in front of him, there were no longer sparse buds of plum blossoms on it, there were already two or three plum blossoms shy A hole opened up.

The county magistrate frowned at An Le's figure, and he walked forward.

"If you want to sit on a stone bench, put a cushion first."

An Le was startled, and quickly got up and said, "Good morning, magistrate."

The county magistrate glanced at him and found that An Le was holding the hand stove but not wearing a sable fur.

"Why don't you put on a sable fur?"

An Le was taken aback again, "I'm afraid I won't be able to return it to the adults if it gets dirty."

The county magistrate chuckled and said, "I think you never thought of paying it back."

An Le smiled awkwardly, he glanced at the magistrate's shoulder, and found that the magistrate actually had another sable fur.

"..." Then he really won't pay it back?

The county magistrate glanced at the direction An Le was looking at earlier, and the plum tree was already exuding a faint fragrance.

The county magistrate turned to leave, An Le blinked, "Why is he here?"

Not long after, the county magistrate came back again, holding two cushions in his hand and laying them on the stone bench.

An Le was shocked.

After sitting down, the county magistrate saw that An Le had not been seated for a long time, so he said, "Why don't you sit down?"

An Le bent down to look at the magistrate and said, "My lord, are you feeling unwell?"

The county magistrate raised his eyebrows and said, "...why?"

An Le sat down and said, "Adults are usually not so gentle."

The county magistrate: "..."

An Le said again: "And the adults have started to use soup, and the sweetness of the sweet-scented osmanthus cake has also faded, but they still come to the backyard in such a cold day."

The county magistrate said: "Is it strange?"

An Le nodded and said, "It's really strange."

The county magistrate rubbed his hands together and said, "Maybe it will always be so strange in the future."

An Le was speechless, he looked at the frozen red hands of the county magistrate, and handed out the hand stove in his arms.

The county magistrate raised his eyebrows and said, "What?"

"Aren't your hands cold?"

Seeing that An Le was shivering from the cold, the county magistrate got up and took off the mink fur on his shoulders and put it on An Le's shoulders.

An Le blinked, "My lord?"

The county magistrate sat down with a hand stove in his hand, "how is it?"

"...Your Excellency is really cold-tolerant."

"..."

An Le looked at the sable fur draped over her shoulders, and thought with some anxiety, wouldn't the magistrate's sable fur finally end up in his hands?

The county magistrate muttered, "The plum blossoms are about to bloom."

An Le said with a gentle smile, "The more it blooms, the more you can make tea."

The county magistrate gave Anle a look, "Do you still remember?"

An Le's smile grew stronger, "Naturally I remember, how could I forget what I made an agreement with my lord?"

The county magistrate looked at An Le's serious smile, and chuckled unconsciously.

"I don't know if there is wine made from plum blossoms."

An Le thought for a while and said, "I haven't seen it yet."

The county magistrate looked at the hand stove in his hand and said, "If you see it, buy it back."

An Le smiled and said, "Your Excellency, would you like to try it?"

The county magistrate looked at An Le and smiled, "I want to try it with you."

An Le was stunned.

The county magistrate sat for a while and said, "Anle."

An Le returned to God and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Do you have a chess board here?"

An Le said clearly: "My lord, do you want to play chess?"

The county magistrate smiled speechlessly.

An Le got up to get the chessboard.

In fact, Anle has never played chess with the magistrate, but Anle has always wanted to play a game with him, seriously.

So, guess what, the county magistrate is in charge.

An Le hesitated at the first move, it was his habit to make the first move in Tianyuan, but he didn't want this habit to be discovered by the county magistrate, so he thought about it, and he played the chess in a regular manner, taking the corner first.

Both of them didn't need to think for a long time to play chess, and An Le played very comfortably. Although the county magistrate would induce him to go to his own trap, An Le could always bite back with a sharp turn of the blade.

The county magistrate had seen Anle's chess power on the boat on Guhu Lake, the chess moves were changeable and difficult to fathom, especially when his first move fell to Tianyuan, he couldn't figure out his purpose at all.

While the county magistrate was thinking about it, he saw that An Le made a drop, crisp and powerful.

but--

That was a bad move.

In any case, it was a bad game.

The county magistrate frowned and didn't move.

Looking back now, it seems that when An Le meets an opponent with better chess skills, he will always drop a bad piece, and then...then, this bad piece becomes the beginning of an excellent game of chess!

The county magistrate raised his eyes, and what caught his eyes was An Le's half-cunning, half-serious smile.

The county magistrate thought for a while, and decided not to deal with this bad piece, and continued to connect to the big dragon in the center.

An Le chuckled lightly, "Your Excellency, don't you care?"

The county magistrate said: "Haven't you always lured opponents into your trap like this?"

An Le raised his chess hand for a moment, then laughed and said, "Your Excellency really understands."

The county magistrate felt that An Le's words had other meanings.

Not long after this game of chess, the county magistrate felt a bit strenuous, but An Le looked at the county magistrate with a leisurely smile.

The county magistrate was a little elusive about An Le's intentions. Although the bad piece did not hinder his chess moves, it was an eyesore.

An Le made his moves in an orderly manner. The county magistrate swept the chessboard and knew that he had no chance of winning.

An Le looked at the lord, "Are you ready to admit defeat?"

The county magistrate threw the chess piece in his hand into the chess jar, "Is this bad piece just to disrupt my chess?"

In fact, he didn't guess the meaning of this chess piece until the end, turning from a bad chess piece to a good one, which made him give up blocking this chess piece, but An Le calculated it deeper and farther than him, he expected that he would guess this chess piece It is also expected that he will ignore this chess piece and carefully avoid it, causing himself to lose all games in the end.

An Le also put the chess piece back into the chess jar, and he chuckled, "Your Excellency counted the first step, but didn't guess the second move. This chess piece is indeed a bad move, but it's just to confuse the audience. , there is no deeper meaning."

The county magistrate laughed and said, "What if I stop it?"

An Le said: "Then I'm afraid I'm powerless."

The county magistrate said: "Such a gamble?"

An Le said: "But I'm sure my lord will give up on this step."

The county magistrate quietly looked at An Le's smiling eyes, "Why?"

"Because I know my lord."

The county magistrate smiled, got up and said, "Go back to the house."

An Le got up after him, trying to touch the chessboard with both hands, but found that the hand stove had returned to her at some point, and when she looked up, the adult was nowhere to be seen.

After sorting out the chessboard again, he put away the white pieces first, but found that the black pieces are arranged in a unique way, towards a word.

An Le was taken aback for a moment, and then saw that Heizi made the word "wine".

Putting the chess pieces into the chess jar, An Le was stunned again, there were three copper plates in Heizi's chess jar.

Adding all these up, does it mean that he should use these three copper coins to buy plum blossom wine?However, where is a pot of wine worth only three pennies?

Anle couldn't help smiling.

……

The county magistrate stood in front of the study, and there was also a plum tree in front of the door. Although it was not as good as the one in the backyard, the fragrance was still refreshing.

When he heard An Le mention the plum tea appointment, he was overwhelmed with uncontrollable joy.

How else?

Lost, completely lost.

The man in black stood behind the county magistrate, and said, "Anle seems to be leaving the house—"

The county magistrate said, "You don't have to follow."

The man in black said in astonishment: "My lord?"

The county magistrate said: "No need."

Although the man in black didn't understand why your lord has been abnormal recently, he still responded and expressed his obedience.

The county magistrate looked at the plum tree, and he sighed secretly.

This game of chess has made him understand very well, no matter how hard he tries to figure it out, An Le will always be more ruthless than him. Since he can't win on the chessboard, how can he win him in other things?

He spared no effort to put the word "wine" in chess with him, secretly put three copper plates in the chess jar, and let him go out of the house alone for a while.Guess he's just going to buy a drink, guess he's standing behind her instead of in front of her, guess he has feelings for himself too.

But for the rest, he really didn't dare to gamble any more. He only put in three coins, just to remind himself not to invest more, whether it was silver taels or others, he couldn't afford it.

There are secrets behind both An Le and himself. The two test each other and provoke each other. As for who dug out whose chess move in the end, it's hard to say, but at least they don't want to be the one who is seen through.No one wants to be the other's prey, let alone the adults who are always in the position of hunters?

Don't want to lose, can't bear to lose, dare not lose, can't lose.
