Ling Ba lowered his eyes, finished washing the horse, and began cleaning the stable.
Inside the courtyard, Gu Qian was still tidying up the yard with the three children, completely unaware of Ling Qi's return.
He didn't have high hopes for the two of them; he was just giving it a try.
Actually, there's not much to tidy up in the yard.
At best, he's just a babysitter.
Before long, Qiu Ling'er took out a Go set and placed it on the stone table outside the courtyard.
Despite the bitter cold, the sun was shining brightly today and tomorrow. Qiu Ling'er had just finished cleaning the yard with Gu Xiaoran, so she didn't feel cold.
She was taught Go by Song Jiao. Now, she has taught her brother.
Seeing this, Qiu Xu quickly sat down opposite his sister.
He has recently become fascinated with Go.
Seeing that Qiu Ling'er had started playing chess again, Gu Xiaoran felt extremely bored and went to find her beloved dog by herself.
Of course, it was the same dog that Qiu Dayu had caught before.
What used to be a cute little puppy now looks fierce.
Qiu Ling'er looked at her brother across from her and shook her head at him, "I want Brother Gu to accompany me today."
She was clearly the master, but her brother always won against her.
Therefore, she has absolutely no desire to play chess with her brother right now.
“Okay, Brother Gu will accompany you.” Gu Qian, having been called upon, pulled Qiu Xu aside. “Ah Xu, you should think of a way to persuade Master. I will stay with Ling’er.”
Qiu Xu was forced to stand up. "If even my senior brother can't convince me, then my words are even less effective."
Seeing Qiu Ling'er place a black piece in the center, Gu Qian followed suit with a white piece, saying, "How will we know if we don't try?"
Originally, he thought of sending his master back to Shangjin, where the mansion had already been unsealed.
But thinking about it, it's obvious that his master rejected him.
Now, he has come to enjoy rural life and no longer mentions what he said before.
But right now, all he wants is for his master to have a better life.
But I was still rejected.
His master's rejection left him feeling frustrated.
Qiu Xu shook his head. His master was a man of his own mind, and he couldn't help with this matter.
"Senior brother, why is there always such a lukewarm relationship between you and Master?"
"Is that so?" Gu Qian feigned ignorance.
Qiu Xu replied earnestly, "Yes."
Gu Qian: "That's not true. You're just making things up."
"Hey brother, don't disturb our chess game anymore." Qiu Xu's question didn't affect Gu Qian, but it did affect Qiu Ling'er.
She frowned as she looked at the Go board on the table. It was one thing to be unable to beat her brother, but how come she couldn't even beat Brother Gu?
"Lightning, don't run!" With a child's voice, suddenly, with a whoosh, a huge black dog pounced on the stone table.
Lightning was the name Gu Xiaoran gave to the black dog.
Because of the black dog's movements, the Go stones on the table crashed to the floor.
Qiu Ling'er clenched her fists and glared angrily at the dog.
The black dog barked twice, quickly got off the stone table, and hid behind Gu Xiaoran.
Gu Qian and Qiu Xu looked up at the same time, only to see Gu Xiaoran's face stiffen.
"I...I'm taking Lightning outside to play."
...
The stream in front of the door
When Qiu Dafu and his servant Jiang Liu first came to do laundry, there were already many young women and wives here.
They would glance at Qiu Dafu every now and then, and then at Jiang Liu and her servant.
Qiu Dafu is not good at talking, and today he seemed a little sullen.
The women rarely spoke to Qiu Dafu, but seeing him, a grown man, washing clothes today surprised them, so they couldn't help but ask him a few questions.
The women were always talking, and they started chatting with Jiang Liu.
