Chapter 148 Courtyard (1 / 1)



Jiang Yinqiu also noticed this about Old Master Chu, and quietly looked at Su Xinmu's expression. She found that she couldn't tell anything from her expression. She didn't have the solemnity of Old Master Chu, but instead looked more relaxed.

The bosses around did not leave either. They all watched the confrontation that had lasted for half an hour with frowns on their faces.

Suddenly, Master Chu had an idea and quickly moved the red car in his hand forward a step, pointing directly at Su Xinmu's general. At last, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but glance at Su Xinmu.

Jiang Yinqiu and several old men also noticed his change, as if he had already won the battle and was just waiting for Su Xinmao to admit defeat.

For a moment, everyone looked at Su Xinmi to see how she would react next.

She first frowned, then smiled, as if she had known he would do this and was well aware of his attempt to provoke her, but she was prepared.

The black cannon in her hand moved sideways, and her fingers left. The situation on the chessboard was obviously different, and she quietly resolved the crisis.

Old Man Chu looked at this play and exclaimed, "Great move!"

Jiang Yinqiu didn't know how to play chess. He just watched the other old men nod their heads repeatedly, and looked at Su Xinmi with admiration.

She also smiled, she knew that Mi Mi would not lose.

But it's not over yet, the two have not yet decided the winner.

After a fierce competition, Su Xinmao's chess piece broke through Mr. Chu's last line of defense and approached Mr. Chu's veteran.

Elder Chu showed a trace of helplessness on his face. He stared at the game for a long time and sighed heavily, "I lost."

But Old Master Chu laughed heartily. It had been a long time since he had met a chess worthy opponent. It was meaningless to play chess with a bunch of old guys like them.

Today was the first time he played chess with young people. They all had their own strategies, but it seemed like he had gained something new.

Several other old men sighed: "It is true that the younger generation always pushes the older generation forward. Today's young people are really amazing."

"Yes, this little girl is really good at playing chess, like a veteran."

"I've never seen this play before. It's like a revelation to me."

Su Xinmi did not show the slightest hint of pride when listening to the compliments from the elders.

She was not actually a novice in chess. Having experienced all kinds of things in her previous life, she had naturally improved a lot.

Old Master Chu looked at Su Xinmu and nodded with satisfaction, thinking that this girl was extraordinary, very extraordinary.

"You want me to agree to one condition?"

"What are the conditions?"

The others were also curious about what conditions the little girl had that required Mr. Chu to agree to.

Su Xinmi smiled and said, "Actually, I've been here for a long time, and I've been watching the grandpas playing chess."

"I just heard from Grandpa Chu that he has two houses. We also want to rent a house, so we were thinking about whether we could talk to Grandpa Chu."

Su Xinmu's words were clear and understandable yet not offensive.

Old Master Chu thought something strange had happened, but it turned out that he had just heard what he had just said about the house.

I looked at her carefully for a few times, "Why do you rent a house?"

"From your accent, you don't sound like you're from Kyoto?"

Su Xin felt that there was no need to hide it. "Yes, we are not from Kyoto. We are studying here. But we have been staying in a guesthouse for the past few days. At night, someone knocks on the door to disturb us. We think this is not a long-term solution, so we are thinking about whether we can rent a house."

There was nothing wrong with her explanation.

However, they had also stayed in a guesthouse before, so they naturally knew what was knocking on the door. They didn't expect that someone would still want to do that even though the beating was so severe.

"You got into college?"

It seems that Mr. Chu's focus is never on the right things.

She was also a little helpless, "Yes, we two just passed the exam."

Mr. Liu said, "You students can live in the school, why do you have to rent a house?"

It costs money.

But he didn't say it, after all, it was someone else's business.

In the eyes of the elderly, money should be saved wherever possible.

Su Xinmi sighed, "We can't go home every holiday in the future. We can't live in the school. There's no one there. We have to come up with food. We can only find a place to live, which is more convenient."

Mr. Chu asked them about their purpose of renting the house, thought about it carefully, and felt that it was not impossible to rent it out.

He is alone, and others tease him that he is a loner in his hometown, but he still has two houses to live in. He usually lives in one place to avoid having to clean both places every time.

Besides, Su Xin felt that the two girls didn't seem like random people and looked like decent people, so they shouldn't damage the house.

Su Xinmo saw what Grandpa Chu was thinking about, so he pulled Jiang Yinqiu aside and assured him, "Grandpa Chu, don't worry, we will protect your house."

"We can sign the contract. As for the price, can we go to your house to see it?"

The other old men felt that they had nothing to do and could just go home for dinner, so they did not stay and just said goodbye and left.

Jiang Yinqiu also spoke up, "Master Chu, if you don't trust us, you can let us stay for a while. If you are not satisfied, you can let us go at any time."

Finally, Grandpa Chu nodded and said, "Let's go. I really can't live in two houses. It's easier to clean if someone lives there."

Mr. Chu took them to see the house he didn't live in, which was an independent house with a courtyard.

After opening the door, I found that the house was quite large. Although it looked like no one had lived there for a long time, it was very clean and much better than the house Su Xin had found before.

"This is my son and daughter-in-law's house. They are now abroad and may not come back for a few years. It is usually empty."

Su Xinmi was indeed somewhat satisfied. The yard looked quite new, so she estimated that they had not lived there for long before leaving.

Walking on the bluestone road, the sunlight poured down, casting mottled shadows. They were now standing in the center of the courtyard, surrounded by houses on all sides. The courtyard was spacious and bright, with a few cypresses planted, and a pool of clear water. A few koi were swimming happily in it, with the sunlight pouring down, casting their shadows, clear to the bottom.

The east wing also exudes a unique Chinese style. Walking through the central hall and into the west wing, there is a large carved bed. When the window is opened, you can see the scenery in the courtyard, which is antique.

Two studios and a few other rooms, not bad.

It was a bit extravagant for her and Jiang Yinqiu to have such a big yard.

Grandpa Chu wanted to take them to see the yard where he lived.

Su Xinmi and Jiang Yinqiu looked at each other and saw satisfaction in each other's eyes.

So he said, "Master Chu, there's no need to look around. We are very satisfied with this house. It depends on whether you are willing to rent it to us."

Old Master Chu looked at the house and then at them.
