So I play chess

Chapter 170
As soon as Tang Mingyi's rather meaningful meal of broiled mutton was used up, the young servant in the center came to give him a message.

"Young Master Tang, gentlemen, Missy ordered you to report to the Inspection Department, Craftsmanship Department, Mr. Hua, and the Head Office of the Outer Court from tomorrow."

When the boy came in, Tang Mingyi had already finished talking about his serious business for a long time, and everyone just ate and drank, and casually chatted about what they had only heard about Tongcheng.

During the conversation, Tang Mingyi was quite sure of Liu Zhu.It can be seen from the hustle and bustle of Nanshi that under such a special situation in Tongcheng, Liu Zhu's ability to make the people live and work in peace and contentment is already very remarkable.

Moreover, although the public inspection of entering the city had cheated him severely, the matter itself was good, and the prefect's aunt was probably the only one who hindered it.

Tang Mingyi was not afraid of being overheard, so he said it generously. The boy didn't know if he heard it, but there was nothing unusual in his expression anyway.

At the same time as the news came, two people even brought over a large jar of wine, they only said that the eldest lady had ordered that you seldom drink alcohol after working on errands, and you can drink as much as you want today, as long as you don't miss tomorrow's errands.

Tang Mingyi led the guards to thank them together, the words had been delivered, and the boy turned to leave without further words.But Tang Mingyi stopped him and said: "I've been living in the courtyard these days with nothing to do, your eldest lady still took good care of me, since I'm going to start working now, I want to thank you in person first, and please help me Brother, go report one or two."

Hearing the words, the young servant said directly: "Missy has an order, if Mr. Tang wants to thank you, please come with me to see her."

Tang Mingyi thought to himself, "That's true", but on the face he just responded happily, saying "I'm sorry", and then stopped the guards who wanted to go with him, straightened their clothes, and followed the boy. .

The boy who answered the question and the boys who brought the wine just now led the way, Tang Mingyi followed behind, passing through the outer courtyard and the inner house, the scene was no different from that day, and he arrived at Wen Gu's courtyard after a while.

Tang Mingyi first looked up, but saw that there was not even a gate in the courtyard, so he asked the boy, "I wonder if there is a name for this place?"

"I don't need any name." The boy replied politely, "The eldest lady's yard is the eldest lady's yard. It would be petty to use any name to cover it."

Tang Mingyi nodded secretly even if a boy in Juli could reply like this.But I didn't say much, the boy went to report first, and then came out after a while, leading him to see Wen Gu.

Wen Gu's behavior in his spare time is actually the same as that of his these days, nothing more than eating, drinking and reading, and occasionally dressing up Zhixia with jewelry sent or handed over from various places.

At this moment, she was reading a book, knowing that Tang Mingyi had arrived, she didn't make any gesture of greeting, and only said: "Mr. Tang is here?"

Following this sound, the servants and maids in the courtyard retreated, leaving only Zhixia and Tang Mingyi talking together.

The young servant also left on his own, Tang Mingyi didn't think too much, stepped into the inner hall, and asked first: "Why did Lady Liu change her address today?"

Wen Gu smiled and said, "Why does Mr. Tang care so much about names? Is there any explanation?"

"A casual question." Tang Mingyi waved his hand, "All the people I brought have made a living. I wonder what Madam Liu wants me to do?"

Wen Gu was not in a hurry to reply, and first motioned for him to sit down.Tang Mingyi was not too polite, he walked up to Wen Gu and sat in the seat closest to her.

Wen Gu put down the book and only talked to him: "I arranged for them only because I knew what they could do, but I didn't arrange for Mr. Tang, because I still don't know what Mr. Tang is capable of. So now it's just a matter of me I asked, what would Mr. Tang do?"

Tang Mingyi smiled calmly, and said: "They do have their own strengths. Although I don't know much, I know a lot. If Mrs. Liu asks for specifics, she can only say what I can do. It depends on Mrs. Liu. What do you want to do?"

Wen Gu replied: "The future will be long, Mr. Tang will naturally know what I want to do. Now that we don't have any ideas, I just have a vacancy here. I just don't know if Mr. Tang is willing."

"please say."

"Originally, Mr. Li was supposed to play chess with me, but there might be guests at home in a few days, so I asked him to help prepare some meeting gifts. But the people next to me were either too good or too bad, and they always played against me. I can't go anywhere. Since Mr. Tang has nothing else to do, I don't know if he would like to play chess with me."

Wen Gu said it quite seriously, Tang Mingyi only thought that she had other plans in the future, so he simply replied "Of course."

Hearing his answer, Wen Gu was very happy, but the more she acted like a little girl, the more Tang Mingyi felt that she was putting on an act for another purpose.

Zhixia took the chessboard over, and the two really started playing chess in the inner hall.

"Ms. Liu's yard, doesn't it have a name yet?" Tang Mingyi asked casually.

Wen Gu touched the chess piece, and immediately became serious. Seeing that he asked an irrelevant question, he also casually replied: "The naming is the most difficult. There are so many yards in the house, and I can't count on others, so I just didn't get any of them." .”

Tang Mingyi laughed: "I really like the name Bushiju. I thought I didn't want to do these things because Mrs. Liu felt that I would live here soon. I didn't expect it to be such a reason."

"My nephew is here, where else can I go if I don't live here?" Wen Gu said without thinking, "Mr. Tang also thinks this name is good?"

"certainly……"

The two chatted back and forth on this name for a while, but they were all talking nonsense, and neither of them said a word of usefulness. Afterwards, the situation of the chess game gradually came to an end, and it was unknown who would stop first, and the topic fell to the ground. Suddenly interrupted, only fighting on the chessboard.

This was just half an hour, no matter what the situation was during this period, Wen Gu didn't take the initiative to introduce some new topics, and Tang Mingyi didn't want to talk about it anymore, so the two of them gradually focused on the chess game, you come and go, for a while It's hard to tell which is better.

At the height of the battle, Tang Mingyi stared at the chessboard, and touched the chess box with his hands, but felt a different kind of touch.

Tang Mingyi didn't think much about it, but subconsciously turned his head away, wanting to see what was different about the chess piece he had grabbed, so he was unprepared and saw the chess piece he was holding in his hand at this time, which was the same as Zhao Zhao's chess piece. In Huadian Shangling Guangjun's hand is the same glazed chess piece.

At this time, Wen Gu was immersed in thinking about how to make the next move, but finally seemed to think of something, and he pursed his lips and gave a soft "hmm".
