Chapter 1167 Chapter 1167
In the game of Go, which has six black and white pieces each, he explained the simple rules, "Whoever can force the other into a dead end will be considered to have captured the dead piece. One step is counted from the intersection point to the next intersection point. The live pieces do not leave the board, and the dead pieces are taken away. Do you understand?"
Qin Ge'er and Ling Ge'er understood immediately and repeated it again, "It is very simple when you put it this way."
Simple?
Hey! Let’s try it!
Xu Lingqiao and Qi Yueniang were also attracted to the front. Xiao Bei and Pei An stood behind, looking at this simple chessboard, wondering what kind of storm could come from it.
Watermelon chess is a small puzzle game for children.
At the beginning of the game, Qin Ge'er and Ling Ge'er were not used to it yet. There were twelve chess pieces in total for both sides, but Song Guanzhou ate four of them in just a few moves.
"Alright! You lose."
Although Huan Ge'er was young, he could still count. "Aunt Si, there are still two."
"There are no more two of them, you two brothers have lost." He turned his head to look at Qin Ge'er and Ling Ge'er, "Come again, my dear nephew, you go first."
The two young boys were full of fighting spirit. They came with great excitement but returned defeated.
Song Guanzhou was already familiar with the situation, and she urged the two children quickly, leaving no time for thinking, so it would be a miracle if she could win.
After several rounds, Song Guanzhou did not feel the slightest bit of shame for bullying the children and was quite pleased with himself.
"Are you satisfied?"
Qin Ge'er and Ling Ge'er looked at each other, both of them were stubborn.
"Dissatisfied!"
Haha——, another three or five rounds. A game of Go can take as fast as a stick of incense, or half an hour or an hour at the slowest. But this little game is very fast.
In the end, Xu Lingbai couldn't bear it any longer. "Think slowly, don't panic when your fourth aunt urges you."
"UI!"
Song Guanzhou drove Xu Lingbai away, "A true gentleman watches chess without saying a word. If you are not convinced, come and fight me later."
Xiao Bei and Pei An shook their heads, especially Pei An.
"Guan Zhou, this chess game is very simple."
"Silang, don't be so arrogant. Beat me first." He was provocative. Everyone, young or old, male or female, saw this and drew a chessboard, and faced off in pairs.
Qi Yueniang and Xu Lingqiao, Xiao Bei and Xu Lingbai, but Pei An and Pei Chen waved their hands.
One is to disapprove, the other is to dislike this matter.
The two brothers drank tea and chatted casually, "Silang, father is going out to visit friends in July, do you know about this?"
"My father mentioned it, but I don't know the details."
Pei An looked over and asked, "Where are you visiting friends?" My father didn't have many close friends, but they were all far away. There was not a single person in the capital.
"I'm afraid I have to go a long way. I just said I'll go to Mo County first to visit my uncle."
Since my aunt Pei passed away more than ten years ago, my uncle was exiled, so he decided to retire and returned to Mo County with his entire family.
He resigned from his official position and retired, but he was reluctant to give up his talent and knowledge.
He simply opened a school in Mo County, and changed from a court official to a headmaster. After more than ten years of hard work and teaching, he became a little famous and achieved fruitful results.
"Brother, do you want to go with me?"
Pei Chen leaned lazily on the back of the chair and shook his head slowly, "Father is not here, I have to take care of all the big and small things in this mansion. Shuyu from my second uncle's family is getting married this year, and there are a few illegitimate sisters, maybe they can marry them."
Hearing this, Pei An frowned slightly.
"Shuyu is promised to Uncle Mei's cousin. I heard from Brother Hua. How come the other sisters are also getting married so soon?"
My second uncle was fertile and had three or four younger sisters who were of the same age as me, with a difference of only two years at most.
"It was all Second Aunt who made the decision. She picked out a few decent families in the capital and arranged marriages for my three younger sisters before the results were announced."
"The rich and powerful families in the capital have always had the beautiful story of catching a son-in-law from the list, but Second Aunt doesn't like these."
Pei Chen agreed with Mrs. Mei's approach. "They picked a poor scholar from a poor family. Our daughters, regardless of whether they are legitimate or illegitimate, are all spoiled girls. They can manage a family, but they can't make a living like a poor family. Second Aunt knew this, so she simply looked for a family she knew well. Even if the official position is low and the foundation is shallow, it is better than exploring the fog."
Hearing this, Pei An seemed to be thinking, "Does my second sister have any plans for marriage?"
Pei Qiuyu rejected the Xiao family. Although other families later sent matchmakers to propose, they were still far inferior to the Xiao family.
"Father, you can make your own decision. My uncle's family is a well-educated family, so let's take a look at Sanlang."
Pei An frowned, "Zhou Jin?"
"Some time ago, my second uncle came to talk about my sister Shuyu's affairs and asked about her marriage. That's what my father said, but we have been far away and have not been in touch for many years, so I don't know what Zhou Jin looks like now."
"Well, father thinks more appropriately."
Pei An swallowed his doubts, and after a moment he looked at Pei Chen, "You already have a lot of girls in your house, why bother to provoke them?"
"…Who told you this?"
Pei An looked at Xiao Yinxiu who was entering the room and felt a bit of pity.
"Second sister-in-law and you are childhood sweethearts, and you have a deep affection for each other. She is not against your family. Aunt Qiao is also pregnant, so you should be content."
Whoops!
Pei Chen sighed softly, "Who would complain about having too many children? It's not like the mansion can't afford to raise them. Now the third child has disappeared and converted to Buddhism. It's extremely difficult to expect him to have more children. And look at you two - tsk tsk, aren't you the only one who can help your brother?"
He speaks in an upright manner, but in fact he is a scoundrel.
Pei An wanted to speak a few words to persuade him, but Pei Chen waved his hand to stop him, "Second brother has no other ability, he can only guard the mansion and have more children. In the future, you can take Guan Zhou with you to serve as an official in other places, so it won't be surprising if you don't see him often. How about that?"
"Second brother..."
Pei An laughed angrily, stood up and greeted Xiao Yinxiu who was approaching him. Xiao Yinxiu turned sideways and accepted a half-salute, then looked at Pei Chen, who was still leaning back in his chair, not even looking at Xiao Yinxiu.
Xiao Yinxiu glanced at him lightly, and the couple ignored each other like strangers.
Xu Lingqiao and the others, as well as the children, stood up and greeted her when they saw her coming. Xiao Yinxiu reluctantly went over to greet them, lowered her head to look at the chess pieces that everyone was playing with, then grabbed Huan Ge'er and brought him over to ask a few questions in a soft voice.
A loving mother and filial children bring joy to the family.
When Zhang Fanghui saw that everyone was present, she asked someone to serve the food. She still separated the tables into two for men and women, but there was no screen in the middle today.
Qin Ge'er and Ling Ge'er wanted to pester Song Guanzhou to talk, but Xiao Yinxiu scolded them, "You are all growing up, hurry up and take your brother to your second uncle's table."
After chasing away the two older ones, the little Huan Ge'er also climbed down from her lap, "I'll go too!"
With her calves on the Hot Wheels, she threw herself into Xu Lingbai's arms.
"Be careful not to hurt your cousin uncle, you little rascal!" Xiao Yinxiu couldn't understand why her two children loved the Song and Xu siblings so much.
Especially Huan Ge'er, in the past, whenever Song was around, he would always stay close to her.
Now Song’s legs and feet are not good, and she is scolded by her elders. She dares not get too close, so she turns to get close to Xu’s brothers and sisters.
Who is this child's biological mother?
