So I play chess

Chapter 156
The undercurrent drawn by the Sun Mansion had quietly dissipated when the sky was brighter.

During this period, several properties of the Sun family in the city collected money in various ways, and were led by people to arrange it inside and outside the city.

While Mr. Sun gave instructions with confidence, Bushiju and the Tongcheng government office were all as he expected, and he didn't notice anything unusual. The prefect aunt still acted according to her own temperament.

Just after the hour passed, a horse-drawn team gathered outside Bushiju that stretched all the way to the entrance of the square. This little lady didn't care about the observations of others, and let Li Xun, Hua Ji, and Zheng Bai three Surrounded by servants and maids, they got into the carriage respectively.

After that, Wen Gu, who had specially dressed up, stepped on the most conspicuous ride generously.

After that, a group of people recruited yesterday, either riding horses or driving cars, integrated into the team respectively.

This team of nearly a hundred people, including servants and maids, did not rush out of the city. Instead, they took the most tortuous road in the city. From time to time, the upstart in front of my aunt would lift the curtain to let the passing city people witness his demeanor with their own eyes.

It's not true that Zheng Bai really has a shocking appearance, but because of the blue eyes of the prefect's aunt, the people in the city who saw it with their own eyes will add some praise.Not long after the carriage team left the city, some exaggerated words spread.

The news in the city is guided by Li Mao, so Wen Gu doesn't need to think about it.She has nothing else to do today, if she says it's for fun, then she just has fun.

The team headed east, and within a short distance to the east of Tongcheng, there was a shallow and gentle stream running from north to south.It has been exhausted for many years, and even the name has been forgotten.

The torrent in Tongcheng that made Li Xun lonely and helpless, but because of flood control and diversion, and connection with the upstream waterway and many other reasons, this stream was refilled again, and because it was connected to Qianlong County, the people nearby lived here at will. It was named "Stone Brook".

After 20 years of changes, many new trees, flowers and plants have grown on the east and west sides of Shixi River, and there are fish and shrimp in the water. It has gradually become a good place for outing in Tongcheng.

Wen Gu led dozens of people from all over the house to rest here, sitting by the stream, setting up banquets, and even some family guards temporarily went to catch rabbits and fish to add some flavor to everyone.

And during the banquet, it was just admiring the flowers and composing poems, with the water flowing in the cup, a good appearance that was both extravagant and elegant.

"After today, Zheng Langjun's demeanor is known to everyone in Tongcheng."

Everyone sat casually, but it was different from when they were in the city, Zhixia Huaji sat next to Wen Gu on the left and right, Li Xun Zhengbai sat opposite Wen Gu instead, and the rest of the people lined up separately.

"Zheng Bai's success today is all due to the promotion of the eldest lady."

Compared with other people, Zheng Bai is really not very good at saying flattering words, so he has to try his best to appear cautious and sincere.After Wen Gu complimented him, he responded seriously. After finishing speaking, he held up the wine glass, saluted first, and then drank it down in one gulp.

Wen Gu was naturally happy, and responded by taking a sip of his drink.

"Zheng Langjun's demeanor is naturally true, but what matters is the eyes of the eldest lady. It doesn't matter what others say, but it is the greatest blessing for me to be in the eyes of the eldest lady." Hua Ji followed suit. After offering a toast, he looked at Li Xun on the other side, "Master Li, what do you think?"

Li Xun's complexion hasn't changed since he put up "Raspberries Difficult to Shine" at the intersection that day, and he was forced to come out again today. He was just sitting there quietly, but was pulled up by Hua Ji to speak , had no choice but to say reluctantly: "Mr. Hua is such a rare talent, he can speak so sincerely, it must be true."

Hua Ji was not angry, let alone ignored him, but whispered a few words to Wen Gu, then got up and dragged a few servants and maidservants aside to compose poems.

Hua Ji's poems are really unremarkable, but they are recited loudly, and can sometimes attract applause and kind chuckles from the people around them, Hua Ji just accepts them all and doesn't care.While Wen Gu was listening, he occasionally turned his head to the side and said "Yes", which made Hua Ji more and more complacent.

Hua Ji played well with a look of high-sightedness and low-handedness.Li Xun couldn't listen anymore, so he simply bowed to Wen Gu, then got up and went to another place to study something.

Zheng Bai watched from the sidelines, only felt that Hua Ji and Li Xun were at odds with each other, and felt that he had finally witnessed what it meant to be "jealous". He also thought that in the future, he would try his best not to offend anyone in the mansion, and to work for the prefect's aunt in peace, to please the prefect As long as my aunt is happy.

Then I thought that such a change of scene can be used to write in the story, but it is not suitable for children to listen to.Then he also thinks that his mother doesn't know how her life is now, since he has come here, Zheng Tong must treat her kindly, so that her life will not be worse than before.

As soon as I thought about it, I felt that I wanted to win a favor in front of the prefect's aunt.Only the taste of being controlled by others is really uncomfortable.

All these thoughts of his drifted away, and it was not until the prefect aunt called him twice that he regained his composure.

"Miss." Zheng Bai was afraid that he would be late and offend the master, so he hurriedly stood up to respond.

"Is there something on Zheng Langjun's mind?" Wen Gu, with a persistent smile on his face, motioned him to sit down again.

Zheng Bai sat down as he said, and said: "It's nothing, I just feel that the situation is completely different after one day, and I can't take it easy."

After speaking, he thought of Fang Caihuaji's attitude, and then added: "The eldest lady's kindness, Zheng Bai will definitely repay it."

Seeing his clumsy appearance, Wen Gu smiled even more intensely, and said: "How can there be any kindness, Zheng Langjun has talents, learning and skills, but there is a lack of opportunity, we just take what we need."

Zheng Bai didn't know his own level, and he knew his own shortcomings, which is really not outstanding in this Bushiju.

However, Hua Ji was tactful and Li Xun was mean, so he could only find a difference in this, so he went a step further and said: "No matter what the young lady orders in the future, Zheng Bai will definitely do his best to solve the problems for the young lady."

He will be the most sincere and serious person among them.

Wen Gu suppressed his smile when he heard this, and then sighed softly, leading him to drink again.

Zheng Bai couldn't guess what the prefect's aunt was thinking, and felt uneasy, but he only accompanied him with wine and dared not say much.

Wen Gu didn't make him wait too long, put down his wine glass, and asked, "Does Mr. Zheng know who are the people in my mansion?"
