Chapter 60 Playing with the old man
Suddenly, when he bumped into this group of people at the door, Lin Shuangyu turned slightly, nodded, and then walked towards Songge.
From beginning to end, you don’t look squinted and your steps are steady.
As a male, Lin Hongtu should have avoided the female guest, but fortunately, he was still young and imitated Lin Shuangyu's appearance, lowered his head and bowed his hand slightly to follow Lin Shuangyu's footsteps.
The eldest wife of the Liang family and the Madam Ying couldn't help but pause and thought to themselves, "I'm so bold."
But I didn't ask much, but the girl from a certain house in the Lin family was just a girl. As a woman, she had a bigger step, and this etiquette... It seems that the rules of the Lin family are just like this.
Knowing that there are guests here and the elders have not summoned them, the younger generation should avoid them.
"It's the eldest lady and the fifth young master in the house!" The second wife whispered, smiling a little embarrassedly.
The eldest wife of the Liang family glanced at the second wife and said nothing. She took the girl and the woman to stop. Madam Ying still smiled and responded to the second wife.
The eldest wife of the Liang family deliberately made a fuss. She was a serious second-rank official wife. Although she came on behalf of the old lady of the Hou Mansion, she was just a slave after all.
"Big sister, the one just now should be the guest of the eldest lady of the Liang family and the Marquis' Mansion." Lin Hongtu followed Lin Shuangyu and reminded in a low voice.
"Chenghou Mansion?" She had some impression of this. Just like the Mo family, the old and new dynasties were still rich and prosperous.
Thinking of this, he smiled and changed his nature. This hereditary title should not have stood firm. It is conceivable what role did the Chenghou Mansion play in the fall of the Jin Han country back then.
"In May this year, the fifth lady from Chenghou Mansion discussed hiding with her elder brother. I'm afraid that this happened..." Lin Hongtu was not sympathetic, but just lamented that things were impermanent. When the elder brother got such a marriage, it was a high point. Among them, the Liang family's handling was inevitable. Now... I'm afraid the marriage will be ruined.
In fact, what Aunt San did was even more angry with him was what Aunt San did to his elder sister.
Come and leave the marriage? There is such a mother-in-law, and the lady from the Hou Mansion is willing to marry him? Besides, the Hou Mansion agreed to this marriage, but I was afraid that it would be said something.
Most of the ladies from this wealthy family are looking forward to marrying high, but not many of them are willing to marry low.
"You know a little bit of a man and a big man, how much do you know about this Cheng Hou Mansion?" He raised his foot to the corridor and asked casually.
Lin Hongtu smiled and said, "It was all told by the gentleman. Although Chenghou Mansion is still a marquis, it is no longer hereditary. Therefore, the Chenghou Mansion is no longer as good as before. The princes of the Marquis' Mansion have earned fame and fortune by themselves."
Those with titles are outside the ranks and different treatments are received by different titles. Some even have fiefs, but they are generally not in court and do not participate in politics, but have the right to face the saint directly.
They say they are making fame and fortune by themselves, but their family has a foundation, with big and deep roots and mixed roots. They can reach the top with just a little effort. There is never the so-called absolute fairness in this world.
Lin Shuangyu nodded, and it was true that if Chenghou’s Mansion was still hereditary, then his ability would be extraordinary. Anyone who inherited his titles would either have made great contributions to the country or royal relatives.
The Chenghou Mansion did not occupy both ends, and it was difficult to continue to be hereditary.
"It seems that your gentleman has taught you a lot." The intention behind what this gentleman taught is worth exploring. These fifth brothers are not allowed to leave their homes, but they are a little clear about the situation in Kyoto.
The old man looked for the gentleman. It seems that the old man is quite concerned about this grandson.
"Well, Mr. Mei is knowledgeable and has a wide range of knowledge. Big sister, here."
As they were talking, the brother and brother had already arrived at the gate of Songge. Changsheng and Fangxiang behind him stopped and stopped moving forward.
"Miss! Fifth Young Master." The servant standing at the door was stunned for a moment when he saw the visitor and hurried up to see the greeting.
"Dongfu, go and say to my grandfather, my elder sister and I are here."
"Yes, the fifth young master, please wait a moment!" Dongfu was the old master's servant, and Lin Shuangyu recognized it as the one who delivered the message for the old master last time.
Inside the room, Lin Hengchong was sitting in front of a short table, holding a book in his hand, but his eyes were not on the book. After hearing Dongfu's words, he looked up at the outside of the room, put down the book, and let him in.
"Add another pot of charcoal fire." This is about Lin Hongtu's body being weak.
Dongfu took the order and left, and the siblings entered the house and went to the windbreaker.
Seeing that the brother and brother were about to salute, Lin Hengchong waved his hand, "Forget it, no outsiders, come and sit here, warm up first."
"Grandfather, my elder sister said I'll come to play chess with you." Lin Hongtu was not as reserved as other juniors in front of the old man, and it could be seen that the grandparents and grandchildren were more intimate on weekdays.
"Oh? Play chess?" Lin Hengchong raised his eyebrows and looked at Lin Shuangyu. He had to let Shi Tong pass on the words, but she didn't expect that she would actually come.
Lin Shuangyu sat down as he spoke, met the old man's gaze, and nodded slightly.
The old man's cheeks moved slightly, his brow raised, and he ordered Dongfu, who was fiddling with the carbon fire.
Dongfu immediately got up and went out.
There were three grandparents and grandchildren in the house. The old man lost his usual head of the family, and the chessboard was placed on a low table, "Then let's go."
Lin Shuangyu glanced at the chessboard, adjusted the position, and sat down opposite the old man, "Since there is an endgame, why not just continue to finish it."
"How can I do it? Play again." Lin Hongtu, who was watching the chess, spoke first, for fear that his elder sister would suffer a loss.
Lin Hengzhuo was somewhat surprised to protect his grandson like this. After hearing what the people below said, Xiao Wu, who has always had few relationships with others, likes this eldest sister who has just returned. It is true.
Lin Hengchong didn't say anything, just looked at Lin Shuangyu. He knew that the endgame was his, no matter what she chose to play, she would suffer because the chess game was decided.
Does she really understand chess?
"No need, just play like this." The world's pattern can be broken, let alone a game of chess?
The so-called situation is that all the changes are all the secrets of heaven. Who can determine the pattern in one word?
"Okay, let's choose your son, big girl!" From now on, Lin Hengchong looked at the eldest granddaughter carefully.
In terms of appearance, if you ignore the scar on your forehead and keep it for a while, it will be outstanding. It has changed a lot from the first time, and it is indeed a bit similar to the eldest son between his eyebrows and eyes.
However, his whole body was a rare one among the many younger generations he had seen. In front of him, he was even more calm and surprised.
This girl is only fourteen this year. Even if Mr. Nanshan teaches her well, some things are innate! What a pity!
Lin Shuangyu was not polite after hearing this. She rolled up her sleeves and took the chess without thinking. Her movements did not stop and she did it in one go, "Please, old man!"
Bai Zi!
Staring at the chessboard, Lin Hengchong's expression gradually became serious. Bai Zi was obviously at a disadvantage. Why did she choose Bai Zi so decisively and make such a quick move, but she really saw the chess game clearly?
Bai Zi's situation was the one who had put the endgame to know the most, but he couldn't help but look at Lin Shuangyu. This glance had the intention of inquiry, and he picked up a black spot and slowly fell down.
