It was really surprising that Wei Lichu could come up with such a good verse. Liu Yaoyu thought that apart from refining medicine and being a Taoist priest, he would not waste his energy on such pretentious things.
Yu Qizhe also looked at Wei Lichu deeply, and saw him getting closer to Yu Jiao again. It was unknown what the two were talking about. Yu Qizhe's hands hidden in his sleeves tightened slightly.
Wei Lichu is still pestering Yu Jiao, wanting her to read the medical book left by his master.
Yu Jiao was so annoyed that she had no choice but to agree perfunctorily.
Several young ladies from aristocratic families came up with a few more couplets, but none of them was as ingenious as the previous one, and soon someone matched them.
Yu Jiao listened absentmindedly for a while. Everyone was thirsty from talking so much, so the maids came forward to pour tea and brought over the chessboard. Perhaps it was because Mr. Meng, who had passed the imperial examination in February and was also going to take part in the spring examination, invited Yu Qizhe to play chess with him.
Yu Qizhe did not refuse. After the chessboard was set up, the two of them held the black and white chess pieces and started playing. A group of young ladies from aristocratic families watched from the side. For a moment, the pavilion became much quieter.
In the previous life, grandpa liked to play Go, and Yu Jiao was often dragged by him to play Go with him, but her Go skills were very poor. The old man was not satisfied with the game, so he would hit her on the head and scold her for being stupid. Every time this happened, her senior brother had to come to the rescue.
Whenever Yu Jiao thinks of these past events, a lingering warmth and a hint of sadness will emerge in her heart.
In a blink of an eye, the chessboard was already black and white. Compared to Master Meng, who had a frown on his face and had to think for a long time before making a move, Yu Qizhe opposite him was still as calm as when he sat down. He held a black chess piece between his bony, jade-like fingertips and played with it calmly.
As the saying goes, a true gentleman watches a game of chess without speaking. So no one spoke to disturb the two people's thoughts while playing chess. Even the rebellious Wei Lichu just shook his head slightly.
Yu Jiao glanced at the chessboard and knew that Master Meng was doomed to lose.
Yu Jiao couldn't help but look up at Yu Qizhe, and suddenly realized that she didn't know him very well. She had never seen Yu Qizhe play chess, but his chess skills were very good.
After a quarrel or friction, you will slowly discover that this person actually has many sides that you don’t understand.
Yu Jiao actually wanted to ask Yu Qizhe if it was over between him and her?
She doesn't like this kind of cold war. Two people like each other and are together because they are happy for each other. If they continue to be uncomfortable like this, there is no need for that.
Yu Qizhe seemed to have sensed something and suddenly looked towards Yu Jiao. Their eyes met. Seeing the grievance in Yu Jiao's eyes, Yu Qizhe tightened his grip on the chess piece.
Before Yu Jiao could think about it, Wei Min suddenly walked up to her and said, "Yu Jiao, I want to talk to you for a while."
Liu Yaoyu was a little sensitive because of Wei Min's repeated bullying of Yu Jiao. She subconsciously asked, "What do you want to say to my third sister?"
Wei Min looked at her defending Yu Jiao, smiled, and said bluntly, "Don't worry, I won't bully her again."
"There are too many people here and it's inconvenient to talk. Let's go somewhere else." She looked at Yu Jiao and said.
Last time in the Plum Garden, Wei Min drank three glasses of plum wine in a row and apologized to Yu Jiao solemnly. The two of them had forgotten their past grudges. Yu Jiao nodded, "Okay."
She stood up and followed Wei Min out of the pavilion. The back garden of the Liu Mansion was quite large. In addition to exotic flowers, there was also a bamboo forest. Yu Jiao accidentally heard Yao Yu say that her father planted this bamboo forest to help him abide by the rules and become an official as upright as bamboo.
The two of them went to the bamboo forest in the northwest corner. It was very secluded, so Wei Min sent her personal maid to guard it a little further away. She used her fingers to hook up the small branches growing from the bamboo joints. Without looking at Yu Jiao, she said softly, "I like Gu Yun. You know that, right?"
