Wang Xuan couldn't help but wonder if he really didn't know how to play chess before.
When the third set was lost again.
He finally understood that it was not that he did not know how to play chess, but that his opponent was too strong. He did not know what was going on in her mind, but she was able to use many strange tricks such as luring the enemy and trapping him to capture his pieces at the fastest speed.
By the time he reacted, the base camp had almost been raided.
This isn't some Duke Yang of Qi in the business world; he's clearly a great general killing enemies on the battlefield!
"I lost again."
Wang Xuan finally stood up, cupped his hands, and bowed obediently to Yang Zhao at a full ninety degrees. His attitude was completely devoid of any contempt, and instead was filled with unprecedented respect: "I bow down to you."
"Are you coming again?"
Yang Zhao asked.
Wang Xuan shook his head decisively this time: "I am truly no match for Duke Yang of Qi. I will stop showing off my skills, so as not to disturb Duke Yang of Qi's good mood."
Having said this, Wang Xuan paused for a moment before continuing, "I really couldn't answer Duke Yang of Qi's question earlier. However, when I return this time, I will convey this to Grandfather, and Grandfather will surely give Duke Yang of Qi an answer."
Upon hearing this, Yang Zhao raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "Young Master Wang is indeed a wonderful man. He is indeed as intelligent as the rumors say."
intelligent?
Wang Xuan knew how people outside evaluated him: he was good at getting along with everyone, slippery, cunning and treacherous.
Duke Yang of Qi actually gave these two nice words some "face".
Of course, Wang Xuan did intend to go back and tell his grandfather about this matter, so he didn't stay long and went straight back to the Wang family.
"Where's Grandfather?"
As soon as Wang Xuan returned, he found that the whole mansion was full of joy, as if something great had happened. The servants smiled and had strange looks in their eyes when they saw him.
Wang Xuan was not in the mood to care, so he caught a servant and asked him.
The servant replied with a smile: "Congratulations, young master. The master of the family is in the ancestral hall! He said he was preparing to worship the ancestors."
"Why are we offering sacrifices to our ancestors?"
Wang Xuan was puzzled, but without waiting for the servant to say anything, he turned around and walked quickly towards the Wang family ancestral hall.
At this time, it is the Wang Family Ancestral Hall.
Wang Mingren was having people prepare the things for the ancestor worship. There was a large table filled with fish, meat and all kinds of delicious food, as well as some written notes and yellow paper, which were to be burned for the ancestors later.
"grandfather."
As soon as Wang Xuan arrived at the ancestral hall, he saw his grandfather muttering something in front of the ancestral tablet, and the other relatives also had happy faces.
Seeing him coming, everyone's eyes lit up.
"Brother Xuan is back!"
“It’s been really hard work.”
"Why so soon? Will Duke Yang of Qi be dissatisfied? But it's good that you're back. It's a good opportunity for us to worship our ancestors together."
Wang Mingren's old eyes were filled with tears as he looked at Wang Xuan with a look of satisfaction. "Xuan'er, you've worked so hard. You've truly made a great contribution to our family. Our Wang family will definitely remember your contribution to our family today. Come, come, kneel down before our ancestors..."
What the hell?
What contribution?
What else is Duke Yang of Qi not satisfied with?
Wang Xuan was completely confused at first. He was still confused when Wang Mingren pulled him to kneel in front of the ancestral tablet. It was not until he saw the contents of the notes on the edge of the yellow paper that his face suddenly turned red.
Now he finally understood what his grandfather meant to his clansmen.
So...it was thought that he slept with Duke Yang of Qi, so he was praying to his ancestors to give birth to a son!!
"Grandfather, you..."
"Okay, Grandfather knows you've worked hard. Look at your baggy and messy clothes. I'm afraid you should go back and rest. But don't be in a hurry. First, kowtow to the ancestors and ask for their blessings."
Wang Mingren held Wang Xuan's head and made him kowtow.
Wang Xuan felt numb all over.
He knew his grandfather's temper. He was as efficient in front of outsiders as he was decisive at home.
After pressing his head and making him kowtow several times, he shouted at people to start the ancestor worship ceremony.
And Wang Xuan was forced to kneel on the mat.
After all the hard work was done and even the stack of notes was burned, the ancestor worship ceremony was finally over.
When the tribesmen left, their faces were filled with joy.
Wang Mingren was also grinning from ear to ear, and then he prepared to have Wang Xuan sent back to Yuanzhong to have a good rest.
"grandfather."
Wang Xuan, who finally had the chance to speak, shouted helplessly.
"Don't keep calling me grandpa. Grandpa knows you've been working hard. Go back and rest."
Wang Mingren patted him on the shoulder, but in the end, he couldn't help but smile and said to him, "You don't know, when the news of the Song and Su kids being kicked out came out, the two old men in the Song and Su families were so anxious that their eyes turned red. Especially when they heard that you were favored by Qi Yanggong, they were so angry that their noses were almost crooked. They even said with envy that you were lucky, haha..."
"Even if I'm lucky, it's still better than them being worthless."
"Xuan'er, don't worry. From now on, our Wang family will definitely surpass the four major families in Yujiang and become the hegemon of Yujiang..."
"grandfather."
Wang Xuan really didn't want to break his grandfather's beautiful fantasy, but if he didn't say anything, he was afraid that his grandfather's "beautiful dream" would fly away.
"Nothing happened between me and Duke Yang of Qi."
Wang Mingren's expression, which had just been smiling, froze. His old face seemed to be frozen as if he hadn't reacted yet. He asked an extremely insulting question: "What do you mean? Could it be that... you can't do it?"
His grandson really... seems to have never lived with a woman.
Now he's eighteen, but still refuses to get married. He thought his grandson was so devoted to the family that he couldn't even take care of his own life, but he didn't expect that he was just unable to...
Wang Mingren's old face turned pale.
"Ancestors, this, this is all my fault. I shouldn't have let this child busy himself with business matters, and asked him to work hard for the family all the time, but forgot about such important things as offspring. Woohoo, this is all my fault. Our Wang family is going to be cut off..." In fact, the Wang family also has other descendants, but Wang Mingren only recognizes him as his grandson.
Wang Mingren knelt down, crying with tears and snot.
Wang Xuanzhen was so angry at his grandfather that he almost laughed.
"Grandfather, I'm in good health. Please don't say these nonsense in front of our ancestors." Otherwise, our ancestors would have to open the coffin lid and get up.
"Xuan'er, stop comforting your grandfather."
Wang Xuan said helplessly, "Grandfather, my health is really fine. This is mainly because... Duke Yang of Qi doesn't even like your grandson."
"How is that possible? Those guys from the Su and Song families clearly said that Qi Yanggong had called you up, and the way they looked at you was so disgusting..."
