When Song Yuehua returned to You Mansion, Zhang Rushan was still chatting with Zhou Xiaohu.
"Hello, you're back." Zhang Rushan sat back on the stool and waved at Song Yuehua.
Song Yuehua found a stool and sat down, then let out a long breath.
"What's the matter? Did your wallet fall?" Zhang Rushan asked.
Song Yuehua twisted her neck and said, "No, it's just that the shopkeeper of Jinyutang found me and wanted to play black chess."
"Hahaha!"
Zhang Rushan laughed and said, "Meng Feiran is crazy. Instead of looking for you, I might as well go find someone to play chess with."
At this point, Song Yuehua suddenly realized, "Little monk!"
When Song Yuehua, Zhang Rushan and Zhou Xiaohu hurried to Dongfu Inn, Jiesexing was no longer in the stable.
After asking the shopkeeper, I found out that Jiesexing was called out by several people and never came back.
Song Yuehua was anxious and couldn't think of where he would go.
"Let's go back to the chess hall and take a look." Zhang Rushan said.
When Song Yuehua and her companions ran back to the chess hall, they found the little monk meditating in the corner.
"Quitting masturbation, how are you doing?" Song Yuehua asked worriedly.
The young monk stood up, put his hands together and bowed, saying, "I met some people who didn't follow etiquette. In order to avoid causing trouble for the owner of Dongfu Inn, I am waiting here so that we can play the last game of chess tomorrow morning."
"Are you injured?"
Jie Se shook his head, "I know a little bit of boxing and kicking, no one can hurt me."
"Let's go. I'll take you to the agreed place to live." Song Yuehua said.
After bringing the man back to You's house, Zhou Xiaohu asked the little monk, "Little Master, do you want to take a bath?"
"Is it too much trouble?" Jiesexing asked.
Zhou Xiaohu waved his hand and said, "It's no trouble, it's just a matter of a pot of water."
"Then I'll trouble you, benefactor."
The two went to the kitchen to boil water and take a bath. After Song Yuehua found some bedding and made the bed, she asked Zhang Rushan for an oil lamp to put in the room.
Zhang Rushan asked her what she was planning.
Song Yuehua rolled her eyes at him, but still explained, "The little monk is going to attend the Hailin Banquet. There are still two months left. Let him be a chess teacher in my chess hall, and then I will take him with me."
Zhang Rushan leaned against the door and said, "His chess skills are much better than Xiang Chen's. If he can stay, it will definitely be of great benefit to your chess hall."
Song Yuehua sighed softly, "He is a chess practitioner. If I really keep him here, it would be a waste of his time. If he were older and had smaller ambitions, I might have let him stay."
Zhang Rushan nodded, "Well said."
The next day, the sixth round of the Tianyuan Award.
Jiesex arrived at the chess hall early.
I took a bath and had a good sleep last night. After getting up in the morning, I ate some vegetable dumplings and drank some porridge.
Now he just feels full of energy.
After arriving at the chess hall, Jiesexing was very considerate and offered to help clean up.
"Young Master, don't be in a hurry," Song Yuehua stopped him and said, "In half an hour, we will start the fight against Yi. You should rest and recuperate first."
Jie Se shook his head and smiled, "Mr. Song is worrying too much. The chess player can just be calm about Yi. Thanks to you all, I had a good rest last night, so I don't mind a little while longer."
Since that was the case, Song Yuehua would not stop him any further.
Come to think of it, we won even though we slept in the stable the other day.
It was the last chess game of the day, and everyday chess players had already secured a good position early on.
After Leng Suxue came over, the match finally began.
Xiang Chen was still explaining the chess game outside.
Zhao Xiaofu also stretched his neck to stare at the chessboard. Song Yuehua asked, "Who are you betting on today?"
"Same old."
Song Yuehua said, "You really like the little monk."
Zhao Xiaofu smiled and said, "I'm loyal to one person."
"What about Xiaoyu?"
Originally, one of them favored Jie Se and the other favored Leng Su Xue.
"It's the same as always," Zhao Xiaofu said again, "but even if we lose this time, we won't lose money."
It's best to know your limits.
Today, Zuo Siye and his three companions, as well as Lu Cheng and a few others, all ordered set meals early.
After they left, Zhao Xiaofu showed the menu to Song Yuehua, "They probably lost money. The four of them didn't order any extra dishes."
"Lost money?"
Several people stared at the chessboard with serious expressions, and Song Yuehua immediately had an idea in her mind.
Soon, the chess hall was packed with people inside and outside.
Song Yuehua asked Zhao Xiaofu, "Why didn't Erguotou come today?"
"The shop has been busy lately, so he probably doesn't have time to come over," Zhao Xiaofu said, "He can't understand it anyway, so all he needs to know is who wins in the end."
That’s true.
Song Yuehua stood up to refill tea for the guests and was busy for a while before she stopped.
"Miss Song." Xiao San waved at him while he was still outside the door.
"Xiao San."
Xiao San walked to the counter and started talking to Song Yuehua.
"I just came back a few days ago and won't go out to sea anymore. I met Brother Jia the day before yesterday and heard him talk about it. I didn't expect Miss Song to actually open a chess hall."
As he spoke, Xiao San looked around the chess hall and said, "And the business is so hot, it's really unbelievable."
“It’s not like this on weekdays.”
Song Yuehua explained it and Xiao San nodded.
"I usually play chess with my friends when I have nothing to do on the boat. It seems I won't have to worry about finding chess friends in the future."
I didn’t expect Xiao San could play chess.
Song Yuehua thought of what Erguotou said yesterday, and said a few auspicious words to Xiao San, congratulating him on his marriage.
Xiao San smiled sheepishly, "The reason for this marriage is because my wife looks like an old friend. To be honest, it really has some bad intentions."
Song Yuehua, "..."
Xiao San didn't notice Song Yuehua's expression and was still talking about the scene when they met.
"My wife was originally the daughter of a fishing family, but when she got married, her Yue family prepared a generous dowry for her. After seeing this, I finally came to my senses and dared not ignore my wife anymore."
Song Yuehua couldn't stand it any longer. "Have you told anyone else about this?"
Xiao San was stunned for a moment before he said, "That's not the case, but I can't tell you?"
Song Yuehua took a breath and said, "You should keep this to yourself from now on and don't tell anyone. If your wife hears it, she will feel so uncomfortable. Haven't you thought about it?"
Looking at Xiao San's confused expression, this kid probably really hasn't thought about it.
After everyone left, Song Yuehua held up her face and tapped the table impatiently with one finger.
What can I say about Xiao San? He is not a bad person, but he is not a good person either. The innocent malice in him is really annoying.
But what he just said kept lingering in Song Yuehua's mind.
Once again, she realized how important a dowry is to a woman.
Liu Xue got engaged in a hurry a few days ago, and as her master, Song Yuehua would definitely add to the dowry.
She had originally thought about buying some cloth and clothes, and she had also considered giving away a few pigs, but now it seemed that all those fancy things were out of the question.
Still have to give gold.
