Yusui Chang'an

Chapter 30
Thinking about this, Lin Jinyan already made up her mind that she would have more contact with An Zhixian.

Lin Jinyan made up her mind and greeted with a smile: "Great knowledge, broad knowledge and open-mindedness, Boss An is a good name."

An Zhixian's eyes lit up when he heard this: "You are worthy of being Taifu Lin's granddaughter. To have such insights at such an age is disrespectful."

Lin Jinyan pretended to be curious about the chess game and walked into the pavilion and said with a smile: "Boss An is so complimentary. I wonder who holds the black piece in this chess game?"

Gu Yichen smiled and said: "Brother An holds the black piece."

An Zhixian looked at the child in front of him and smiled and said, "Looking at how young Miss Lin is, she must also know Go."

Lin Jinyan smiled and said: "I often watch my grandfather and father play chess. I can't say that I understand it, but I only know a little bit about it."

An Zhixian asked: "Miss Lin, tell me about this game of chess. What can you tell?"

Lin Jinyan looked at Gu Yichen and smiled, "You can tell that my cousin is definitely going to lose."

Gu Yichen took a step forward, supported the stone table with his hands and looked carefully: "Where are we going to lose? Why didn't I see it? Could it be that my cousin is not as good as you, a girl who is less than nine years old."

Lin Jinyan stood beside Gu Yichen with a smile: "Although Boss An is at a disadvantage now, he has a long-term plan. Although my cousin is in a good situation at the moment, there will be more dead moves in the future."

An Zhixian's eyes flickered, and his probing eyes fell on Lin Jinyan's face.

Lin Jinyan's expression remained motionless after noticing her gaze, and she still maintained her childlike smile.

Gu Yichen changed direction and walked to An Zhixian's side and took a closer look: "It's true, my father has always said that I am too aggressive in playing chess. Brother An, I am willing to lose this game."

An Zhixian smiled and said, "We don't know the outcome of this game yet. Yichen, you are being humbled. But your sister is so surprising. Did you just say that she is less than nine years old?"

Lin Jinyan smiled and met An Zhixian's gaze: "I will be nine years old in a month."

An Zhixian praised: "That's really stupid of Mr. An. Just now he didn't believe that Miss Lin could play chess. Miss Lin is clearly an expert. I don't think it's strange that Mr. An underestimates Miss Lin because of his appearance."

After saying that, she bowed her hands and saluted, Lin Jinyan said with a smile: "Boss An is so flattering, don't blame me for ruining the chess game with my words. Boss An is the master, I can understand but can't play such a subtle game."

Then he said to Gu Yichen: "Cousin, you play chess with Boss An. I will go to the inner courtyard to find my aunt. After talking to my aunt, I will come out to watch you play chess. I will definitely watch the chess without saying a word."

When he said the last sentence, he covered his mouth, making Gu Yichen laugh out loud: "Go ahead."

Lin Jinyan bent down and saluted the two of them before being taken to the backyard by her servants.

An Zhixian looked at Lin Jinyan's back and said, "Yichen, your sister is not simple. She has such knowledge at such an age. She will definitely be a talented girl famous in Tai'an when she grows up."

Gu Yichen had a proud smile on his face: "That's natural, my sister must be the best."

After entering the inner courtyard, Lin Jinyan was thinking about how to contact An Zhixian without leaving any trace.

To others she needed to hide her clumsiness, but to An Zhixian she had to attract his attention and catch his eye in order to have the possibility of making friends with her, so she deliberately showed off her talent.

In her previous life, she was good at playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she was known as a talented woman after she got her hair. What's more, she was still a child at this time, which would definitely impress An Zhixian.

In his previous life, this person was able to help the Gu family in times of crisis. No matter who he was, Lin Jinyan would make friends with him.
