Chapter 132 Playing Chess



As soon as Jiang Muyu returned to Qingyu Courtyard, he went straight to the study, but after flipping through it, he didn't see the so-called book of house rules.

"Yunyan!" she called loudly.

Yun Yan immediately ran in, "Madam, are you looking for me?"

Jiang Muyu stood in the middle of the study room with her hands on her hips and asked, "Where is the book of family rules you mentioned?"

"This..." Yunyan pointed to a large white bottle next to the bookshelf.

Jiang Muyu looked over and was stunned for a moment. Then he moved his eyes downward and found that there was a book under the bottle.

The corners of her mouth could not help but twitch, and then she squatted down and moved the bottle to the side. Sure enough, she saw four big words written on the cover of this dirty book - Liang's Family Instructions.

She picked it up and saw that the book was almost as thick as the "Xinhua Dictionary". She brushed off the dust on it, but ignored the unremovable stains for the time being.

She flipped it open and read for a while, then felt her head buzzing. She couldn't help but curse, "What a waste of thousands of family rules! How could he come up with this!"

Yunyan didn't dare to criticize, and could only say awkwardly: "The royal family has many more rules and regulations."

"Is this just a little bit too much? Look at these." She pointed to a line of words and said, "Don't be hasty, don't argue with others, don't glare at others. Is this something a human can come up with? Even the women in the harem want to strangle each other when they see each other, let alone glare at each other. If their eyes could hold bullets, they can catch up with M416."

Although Yunyan didn't understand what she meant, she knew from her tone that she was teasing her, so she stood aside and didn't dare to say a word.

Jiang Muyu wrinkled his nose, threw the Liang Family Instructions aside, and said, "Yunyan, continue to use it as a vase cushion."

"Uh... yes."

She clapped her hands and walked out of the study.

She sighed in her heart and said, "Forget it. If I go back to my parents' home, I will be criticized by others. It's better for me to continue to be the princess."

Apart from the fact that the Queen Mother and Liang Qingchen are a bit annoying, her precious daughter is still very cute.

Thinking of this, she immediately went back to her room, changed her clothes, asked the maid to comb her hair into a decent bun, and went to Tangxing Courtyard.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw Liang Qingchen sitting in the yard holding Tangtang.

She turned around and wanted to leave.

But Tangtang's voice came from behind: "Huh? Why is mom leaving right after she got here?"

Jiang Muyu suppressed her inner irritation, put on a friendly fake smile, turned around, and said, "Oh, Tangtang, Mom just remembered that she left something behind, and was just about to go back and get it."

Tangtang said, "Mom, why don't you ask Sister Yunyan to go back and get it?"

"Uh... forget it, it's not a big deal." Jiang Muyu walked over and sat down opposite them.

Only then did I see the chessboard on the table and Liang Qingchen was teaching Tangtang how to play Go.

Jiang Muyu didn't quite understand this thing, frowned, and said, "Can Tangtang understand Go at such a young age?"

Liang Qingchen held a black piece between his slender fingers and slowly placed it on the chessboard. Without even raising his eyes, he said, "Do you think everyone is as stupid as you?"

"Uh..." Jiang Muyu glared at him, "I'm not stupid. You may not be able to do what I can do."

"Oh?" He raised his eyes, curled his lips, and said, "Tell me, is there anything you can do that I can't?"

"Gobang, you've never heard of it?"

"Hmm..." Liang Qingchen smiled lightly with a hint of deep meaning in his eyes, "I have indeed never heard of it."

"Hehe..." Jiang Muyu was quite proud. She reached over and picked up the chess pieces on the table one by one and put them back into the chess cup. She said, "Tangtang, let me teach you a more interesting chess game. I guarantee you will learn it in one go. It's much more interesting than Go."

"Great, great." Tangtang was very supportive and said, "Mom, please teach me."

After clearing the chess pieces on the board, Jiang Muyu began to teach the father and daughter how to play Gobang.

"Like this, if you can connect five pieces of the same color in a line, you win. If one side connects five pieces, the other side loses."

Liang Qingchen looked at her serious explanation and smiled without saying anything.

Tangtang asked: "Can every direction be connected into a line?"

"Yes, east, south, west, north, northeast, northwest, southeast, and southwest are all acceptable."

"Okay, Tangtang has learned it."

"How about Mommy play a game with Tangtang first?"

"good."

Tangtang holds the white pieces and Jiang Muyu holds the black pieces. They play rock-paper-scissors to decide who goes first.

Jiang Muyu won the game of rock-paper-scissors, so he placed his piece on the board first, followed closely by Tangtang.

In this round, Jiang Muyu was obviously letting Tangtang win on purpose, otherwise Tangtang might have lost in just two minutes. Although Jiang Muyu won in the end, Tangtang was not upset about losing.

He clapped his hands and said, "Tangtang actually played more than ten rounds with mother!"

Jiang Muyu smiled and praised: "Our Tangtang is the smartest. She can learn it right away."

"Hehehe..." Tangtang looked up at Liang Qingchen and asked, "What do you think, Daddy?"

Liang Qingchen was a little absent-minded just now. When asked, he looked down at her and said, "Yeah, great."

Tangtang was in high spirits and persuaded Jiang Muyu to play two games with her. As they were playing, Jiang Muyu felt that there was a lack of excitement, so he suggested that the losing party should give the winning party a candied haws.

Tangtang had just won a game and was in high spirits. When he heard that the reward was candied haws, he immediately became full of fighting spirit.

However, Tangtang was no longer happy after that. She cried to Liang Qingchen with a bitter face: "Daddy, I have already lost three strings of Tanghulu."

"It's okay." Liang Qingchen smiled and said, "Daddy will help you win it back."

Jiang Muyu had been waiting for this moment. He raised his chin towards him and said, "If we compete, we have to change the bet. If I win, you give me the antidote. How about that?"

Liang Qingchen smiled and said, "Okay, if I win, you have to kiss me."

"No!" Jiang Muyu refused without hesitation.

"Oh? You don't want to take the antidote? Or..." He raised his eyebrows provocatively and said with a smile: "Do you think you will definitely lose to me?"

"Who said that? You haven't even played a single game yet. I've been playing Go for so many years, am I still afraid of losing to you?"

"Yeah, so what are you afraid of?"

Liang Qingchen's provocation was very effective. Jiang Muyu clenched his fist and said, "Okay, let's play a game. If you lose, give me the antidote. If I lose, I will kiss you. You can't regret it."

He nodded, "No regrets."

In this game, Jiang Muyu played with the white pieces and Liang Qingchen played with the black pieces. Jiang Muyu won right after the rock-paper-scissors game. She winked provocatively and placed the white piece in the center of the board.

Liang Qingchen looked at her smug little expression, a hint of interest flashed across his eyes, he curled his lips slightly, picked up a black piece with his slender fingers and placed it near the corner of the chessboard.

Jiang Muyu didn't expect that he would make moves that were not planned. Shouldn't he have placed his white pieces near hers at this time? She thought that maybe he didn't know how to play Gobang very well.

It looks like the antidote is about to be found.
