Zhangjia Jinzhi

Chapter 34
Li Taiwei's chess move is due to her five years in Xiliang.

Her little uncle, Prince Xiliangdun, has an unknown hobby of collecting all kinds of ancient books.

There is a library in Prince Dun's Mansion, and the chess books alone fill two rooms, with a total of 690 volumes.

During those five years of depression, she often stayed in the library, sitting for the whole afternoon.

The house where the chess records are stored is on the west side, next to a bamboo forest. When the window is opened, the eyes are full of fine leaves flying.With her eyes closed, the rustling sound reminded her... of her home in Shengjing...

To pass the time, she read one book after another.

Her father once said that she was talented and intelligent, but she was impetuous and always restless.Only when she lost everything did she realize the helplessness of life, and reading books became the only way to forget the troubles in the world.

She has read more than 3000 chess books for three years. At the beginning, she carefully polished each one, but later she mastered them, and she can read several books a day.

When he finally achieved something, he also lost the excitement of his youth.

With her natural beauty, she is an invincible opponent in Xiliang.Even his little uncle, Prince Dun, who flipped through the chess records while making moves, was no longer her opponent.

……

Li Wenxiu's face turned pale for a moment, he stared blankly at the sunspots on the chessboard, feeling shame and despair for the first time in his life.

Yes, desperate.

His heart skipped a beat, and he didn't understand why these two words suddenly flashed in his heart.

Since his enlightenment, he has always moved forward with the envy of others. With this chess skill, he claims to be able to be proud of the world!

But now, he actually lost to a girl of cardamom age...

If he hadn't experienced a fight just now, he would never have believed that there are such capable people in this world!His chest suddenly seemed to be hollowed out, and he was a little uncontrollably flustered.

Li Wenxiu looked up at Princess Chonghua who was sitting in front of her. She clearly had a smile on her face, but he could hear the contempt and ridicule hidden in his flesh and blood in that resignation.Like a slap across the face, it slapped him loudly on the face, but it made him have nowhere to hide!

Satisfied, Li Taiwei took Li Wenxiu's embarrassment into his eyes, stroked the corner of his skirt, and said with a light smile:

"Mr. Li...do you want to play another game?"

Li Wenxiu's eyes trembled, but he got up and bowed, and said with a wry smile:

"Li's clumsy skill, I'm willing to bow down!"

Li Xiang clapped his palms and burst out laughing.The two cousins ​​stood aside, their eyes were shining as they stared at the chessboard, and they praised it very well!

Dafu followed with a smirk, she never knew that the princess is so good at chess!

Li Taiwei stood up, glanced at Li Wenxiu who was leaning over, and murderous intent appeared in his eyes.

In this life, she will chop these villains one by one... Slowly!
……

Yunshui lived in the house, Zhaohe and Zuo couldn't wait for Li Taiwei to come, so they asked Nian Xia to go and remind him in person.

Nian Xia ran to Fangfei Garden but was in vain. When she turned back, she met a few maidservants who were standing in the corridor talking. After a little inquiring, she found out that Li Taiwei just won against Mr. Wenxiu in a game of chess.

This is amazing!
Although Nian Xia didn't understand the game of chess, when he heard that Master Xiang was defeated by Mr. Wen Xiu, he was amazed in his heart. Doesn't this really correspond to the old saying, a tiger father has no dog daughter!
Just as they were rejoicing, several figures approached with laughter, and it was Li Taiwei and his party.

Master Xiang couldn't stop smiling, while the Eldest and Second Young Masters were full of surprises, Mr. Wen Xiu still had a smile on his face, but looked a little forced.

Only Li Taiwei, who won the chess game, had lowered eyebrows and a calm demeanor.

Nian Xia recited Amitabha Buddha in his heart, hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and said to Li Taiwei:
"Princess, Ma'am, please invite the princess to come over. The eldest and young mistress has been waiting in the room for a long time."

Li Taiwei nodded, saluted with Li Sheng and his party, and followed Nian Xia to Zhaohe's dormitory.

In the inner room, there are fresh roses inserted on the dressing table, which are bright and dazzling.Zhaohe is resting on the couch to raise her baby, and Nanny Jin is serving her to take anti-fetal medicine.

Zhao Mengjing, the sister-in-law in the hall, got up from the stool when she heard the sound, and was very surprised to see Li Taiwei's appearance, and hurriedly bowed to her.

Li Taiwei returned the courtesy and called out sister-in-law.

Zhao's skin was fair, and she immediately blushed, smiled and agreed, and wrapped another big gift for her.

Li Taiwei thanked her, and asked Dafu to take a Wanfu jade Ruyi, and handed it to Mrs. Zhao as a return gift.

When Zhao saw it, she was startled, and hurriedly waved her hands and said:

"How can this be done? This... this is too precious"

Li Taiwei has been thinking about Li Wenxiu's matter in his heart all the time, only after hearing the sound came back to his senses, and said with a slight smile:

"Sister-in-law is being polite to me. You and elder brother gave me such a heavy gift, and I also express my heart. This is just a good fortune. I hope sister-in-law and elder brother will be safe and successful, and have a good relationship for a hundred years."

Zhao's face turned red immediately, even though she was a concubine in the family, she had seen ornaments in the hands of her aunt.

This jade ruyi is crisp green all over, and its color is extraordinary, it is enough to offer it to the empress dowager, how can she bear it?
But Li Taiwei looked at her kindly, so she couldn't say no to it, so she could only look at Zhaohe with embarrassment.

Seeing that Li Taiwei took out the Ruyi handle, Zhaohe was also startled, and smiled for a moment, and said to Zhao:

"It's rare to see my family, A Luan, being so generous. It can be seen that he is very satisfied with your sister-in-law..."

"You don't have to refuse. There are many good things in her house. If she gives you anything in the future, you can just accept it. We are a family, so don't go out!"

Mrs. Zhao was very moved when she heard the words, and Chao Zhaohe and Li Taiwei blessed each other as thanks.

Li Taiwei also had a smile on his face, and joked:
"Since my sister-in-law has accepted my gift, if my grandmother punishes me for copying books in the future, my sister-in-law can't stand by and watch!"

"In the past, when my eldest brother was not on a job, he would copy some "Women's Commandments" for me to save when he was free. Now he is so busy that he can't see anyone all day. From now on, I can count on my sister-in-law!"

When Zhaohe heard this, he almost laughed out loud, and scolded Li Taiwei for being naughty!
Mrs. Zhao also laughed, but she responded with all her mouth, and was only cautious when they saw each other again.

The three chatted and laughed, Nian Xia stepped forward to change the tea, and casually told about Li Taiwei killing Mr. Wenxiu today.

Showa was surprised when he heard this.

"But really? When did Ah Luan become so good at chess?"

Nian Xia smiled and said:

"My lady didn't see it, but our prime minister never stopped laughing! Even the eldest son and the second son kept praising our princess! Especially the second son, who has been relying on our princess, saying that he must pay homage to us." The princess is your teacher!"

"Hey! It's a pity that the maidservant doesn't know how to play chess, otherwise I might be able to tell my wife about our princess' game of chess!"

Mrs. Zhao also learned some chess when she was in her boudoir, but she was not proficient in it. Every time she lost to Li Rui, in her heart, Li Rui's chess skills were superb enough.

But Li Rui said that his level was not half as good as Li Xiang's!Now Li Taiwei has actually won against Mr. Wenxiu who is even stronger than Li Xiang... Mrs. Zhao immediately felt a little respect for Li Taiwei in her heart.

"Aniang, don't listen to this girl's nonsense, my chess skills were taught by my father himself!"

Li Taiwei played with the silk sash tied under the round fan, seemingly casually said:
"Today, I saw Mr. Wenxiu's mediocrity. The few times my father lost chess, maybe he took advantage of it. This chess game also pays attention to luck. Don't you see that I won him easily today?"

Bai Shifang came from Hua'an Hall, and just stepped into the inner room of Yunshui Residence, when he heard Li Taiwei's words, he couldn't help but pause, and looked over while clutching his handkerchief.
