idle mistress

Chapter 80
This person is nothing more than feeling that he has a little relationship with the royal family, has some acquaintances, and has a high social status.

The letter didn't mention Zhang's family and Shanniu at all. Xu Weiqiu simply replied to the letter, persuading her sister to marry, so she should let go of her prejudice and stay at her in-law's house with peace of mind.

She persuaded her, but whether Xu Xiaoke would listen or not was out of her consideration.

After dismissing the sender, Xu Weiqiu became more and more worried, so he wrote another letter with some silver taels, and entrusted someone to deliver it to Erniang, and the matter was settled.

Some people are born to work hard, and on the fourth day of confinement, Xu Weiqiu couldn't sit still, and she couldn't help thinking of the books in the Prince Cheng's mansion that the book dealer said.

After many inquiries, she finally found out the location of Zangshu Pavilion.

Originally, as the wife of the eldest son of the palace, it is understandable to go to the library to find a few books, but she knows that her character in the palace is a dull village girl who does not know how to read. If she suddenly asks to read books, she will definitely Aroused a lot of criticism.

Not wanting to cause trouble, so one day, she changed into an inconspicuous outfit, told Haitang that she was only wandering around the mansion, and then sneaked into the library in the palace.

This Book Collection Pavilion is very large and messy, many books inside are covered in dust, which is incompatible with the cleanliness of Prince Sheng's Mansion.

This place, if it's not that the servants of the palace are lazy, or it has been abandoned for a long time.In her opinion, it should be the latter, because after she came in, she didn't see a single person in the library.

Xu Weiqiu looked around, and sure enough, as those book sellers said, most of them were medical books.In addition to the traditional essential prescriptions and medical treatises, there are also many collections of miscellaneous arts from other races.

What is this called, this is a blessing in disguise.

Xu Weiqiu searched inside for half an hour as if he had found a treasure, and chose two herbal scriptures to hide in his inner garment, intending to go back to the East Courtyard to study them carefully.

After exiting the Library Pavilion, passing through two pavilions, one enters a courtyard that has not been repaired much. Walking along, one can see two elders on the right side of the arch, using a stone slab as a table, and under the shade of green trees, they are playing chess attentively. .

The scene in front of her couldn't help but remind her of her grandfather.

Back then, what my grandfather liked most when he had nothing to do was to sit under a tree with a few peers and play chess in the shade.

She couldn't help but leaned forward and watched the chess from the sidelines.

Seeing the onlookers coming, the two elders raised their eyes and looked at her, but neither made a sound.

Xu Weiqiu just stood on the sidelines carelessly, but seeing that the two chess skills were quite equal, the battle was quite fierce, with horses jumping pawns, chariots attacking and bombarding.

The elder with the goatee on the right is quite cunning, and he only digs traps for the opponent. Fortunately, the elder on the left is not stupid, and can see through the opponent's tricks after several rounds.

The two fought fiercely, but when the elder on the left raised his cannon, anyone with a discerning eye could see that he could eat the opponent's horse with just one checkers.

However, at this moment, he was hesitant, and finally put the cannon in an innocuous position.

This makes Xu Weiqiu on the side look so annoying.

Adhering to the principle of watching the chess without speaking, she can only worry on the sidelines.

But looking at it, she felt that something was wrong, but saw that the elder on the left had missed the opportunity to capture the ball several times.

In the end, she still couldn't hold back, and said: "Uncle, if you walk this way, you can surround his pawn, but you just walk over there."

The elder glanced at her, but he just ignored her and continued to play his own chess.

Obviously he can eat the opponent's face directly, but he is hesitant,
At first Xu Weiqiu thought it was because this person was too good at chess, but later she finally realized that this person was playing tricks on purpose.

Seeing that he messed up a good game of chess, Xu Weiqiu was quite speechless. Seeing that he was about to make another mistake, Xu Weiqiu couldn't hold back anymore, and couldn't help but stop him: "Uncle, wait a minute."

The elder looked up at her, and she began to point to the chessboard.

Seeing her gesticulating, the elder on the right took out a crutch out of nowhere and hit her calf.

"Oh, old man, you can play chess as long as you play chess, why are you beating people?"

The elder glanced at her: "If you have the ability, come and play a game of chess with me. If you don't have the ability, don't just sit around and talk nonsense."

This sentence immediately aroused her desire to win: "Come, come, whoever is afraid of whom."

Hearing this, another elder gave up his seat to her immediately.

Xu Weiqiu sat down, and the two of them set up the chessboard. The elder looked down on this young man, but he didn't expect that the opponent's chess pieces would always be placed in unexpected places if he didn't follow the routine. .

He saw the opportunity, and was about to ambush the opponent's car, but was shot back by the opponent.

The two went through a round of fierce fighting on the chessboard.

However, Jiang is still old and hot, and the elder made a high-level chess move, turned over and fought hard, and almost ate up all her chess pieces.

Seeing that his handsome man was surrounded by opponents, Xu Weiqiu spread his hands and said, "Stop playing!"

"Why, admit defeat." The elder looked at her and asked,
It is true that I lost, and I lost badly, but Xu Weiqiu is a dead duck with a stubborn mouth: "I haven't played for a long time." Even if she was beaten to death, she would not admit that her chess skills are not as good as others: "Uncle, return this set to you. ,I gotta go……"

The elder felt that although the girl was a bit reckless, she was still clever and interesting, so he couldn't help asking: "Which courtyard does the girl belong to?"

"Ah?" Xu Weiqiu was stunned for a moment, and then flattered: "I'm just a cleaning girl."

Seeing that she was avoiding her intentionally, the elder turned his head and glanced at the deputy standing aside.

Although the maids in the palace don't wear exactly the same clothes, they are only divided into three levels. Although her clothes are simple and elegant, she can be recognized at a glance as not being the maids of the mansion.

After the people left, Prince Cheng asked, "This doesn't look like a girl from the mansion."

Yu Guanshi nodded and replied: "Return to Your Highness, she is the wife of Shizi!"

"Ah?" Prince Cheng was stunned: "Didn't it mean that the wife of the son is not only ugly but also extremely stupid?"

Guanshi Yu smiled: "Isn't it ugly or stupid, Your Highness didn't see it with your own eyes?"

After hearing this, Prince Sheng picked up the picture from the chessboard that he took a lot of effort to eat, and fell into deep thought.
-
Haitang squatted on the ground looking at the small white creature in the cage.

She has seen cats and dogs, and birds and crickets, but she has never seen anyone specially raise mice at home. Her wife is very strange, but she did not expect that her preferences are quite strange. .

However, this white mouse is indeed uncommon.

I don't know if I fed the wrong food. The little thing that was alive and kicking a few days ago suddenly stopped eating or drinking. The day before yesterday, it just lay there directly, and there was no movement for two whole days.
