Chapter 433 Retention
After dinner, Qin Huiyin and Tang Yichen played Gobang in the study.
That’s right, it’s Gobang.
Go was too complex for her. She could play, but she always lost to Tang Yichen, and the more she played, the more frustrated she became. Gomoku was different. She and Tang Yichen split the winning and losing points equally, which made the game more interesting.
Chen Yu watched the two people playing chess from the side and laughed secretly from time to time.
Tang Yichen raised his eyes and looked at him.
Chen Yu immediately lowered his head, not daring to look around.
In fact, given their master's intelligence, he must have already figured out such a simple chess strategy. How could he lose like this? He simply figured out the Second Young Lady's strategy. He played three games and let her win two. Then, when she was in high spirits, he made her lose one, and then another. And he had to lose in a decent way, so that she would feel that she could win if she persisted a little longer. Only then would she continue to play.
Their master really has good intentions in trying to keep them here.
Tang Yichen touched the teapot and realized it was a little cold, so he signaled to Chen Yu.
Chen Yu understood what he meant and immediately changed to a hot pot.
"Miss." Zhilan walked in from outside. "Someone sent a wedding invitation."
"Wedding invitation?" Qin Huiyin was curious. She took the invitation, opened it, and said in surprise, "It's Brother Chen Yong's wedding invitation."
Tang Yichen dropped a child and said, "Chen Yong is getting married?"
"Yes!" Qin Huiyin said excitedly, "I heard that it was the girl who took the initiative to pursue him!"
Seeing her happily talking about the relationship between Chen Yong and Miss Li, Tang Yichen's bright eyes were full of light, and his eyes were also full of smiles.
He had no thoughts about the brothers around Song Ruize, neither hating nor liking them. However, as long as they could make Yinyin happy, they would exist.
"Before, the commander of West City deliberately made things difficult for them and even tried to take Miss Li as his concubine. Now it seems my brother has taken care of it. Brother Chen Yong and Miss Li can finally be considered a couple."
"When is the wedding?"
"After half a month."
"Send a gift on behalf of the Tang family when the time comes. I won't go."
"it is good."
Qin Huiyin lowered her head to look at the chessboard, called out twice, and pulled Tang Yichen to stop him from making a move: "I just looked left, it doesn't count, this one doesn't count, I want to make a new move."
"Once you make a move, there is no regret. You can't cheat!" Tang Yichen put down the chess piece.
"Brother, you're bullying me." Qin Huiyin raged. "I think you should find a more aggressive wife to keep you in check. I'm done playing. I'm leaving."
As soon as Qin Huiyin left, Chen Yu looked at Tang Yichen who was packing up the chessboard and said, "Master, you clearly want to stay with the Second Miss for a while, why don't you give her some leeway?"
"She couldn't sit still the moment she received the wedding invitation. She wanted to go to the Song family to take a look. Instead of forcing her to stay here, it would be better to let her go. That girl can't hide anything on her face."
Chen Yu muttered: "If you want to keep her, there are plenty of ways. The Song family has no chance of competing with you."
This guy is the legitimate older brother, so what does the Song family guy count for? Apart from those close to them, no one else knows the relationship between the Song family guy and the second young lady. Who acknowledges that they are brother and sister?
"The most important thing is Yinyin's happiness." Tang Yichen said calmly, "As long as she likes it, she can go wherever she wants."
Qin Huiyin put on her veil and rode to Song Ruize's house. However, when she arrived at the house, she found out that Song Ruize had left Beijing for work and would not be back for a few days.
"I just received Brother Chen Yong's wedding invitation. I wanted to ask, but it seems I can't. The wedding date on the invitation says it's in half a month. Can my brother come back in time?"
"I will be away from Beijing for three days and will not be back until three days later. Because I left in such a hurry, I didn't have time to say goodbye to the eldest lady. Deputy Commander Chen is on leave because of his wedding, and he has to be busy with the wedding banquet during this time, so this time I only brought Deputy Commanders Zhou and Zhang, and left Deputy Commanders Jiang and Jiang behind to help Deputy Commander Chen."
"Okay, then I'll go back too." Qin Huiyin felt a little disappointed when she didn't see Song Ruize.
Now that she was out and it was early, she took her maid to stroll around the night market. As they were strolling, she suddenly heard the melodious sound of a zither. The image of Master Bai Qiu playing the zither emerged in her mind.
For some reason, she always felt that Mr. Bai Qiu looked familiar.
"Miss, where are you going?" Song Yi saw that Qin Huiyin was not heading back to the Tang family, nor to the Song residence, so he hurriedly followed her.
"This is not..." Song Er and Song Yi looked at each other.
"The master is not in the capital. Who can we complain to now?" Song Er asked.
Song Yi sighed, "With that person not here, it's useless to complain to anyone. We can't possibly go to Young Master Tang to complain, right?"
"What should we do now?"
"What else can we do? We can only follow! As long as this little ancestor is fine, we can pretend that what happened today never happened. If anything happens to her, neither you nor I will be able to save our necks."
Qin Huiyin stood by the lake, searching for the most dilapidated flower boat among the many flower boats. Her eyesight was very good, and even in the dim light, she still found it among the many flower boats.
only……
It was now stopped in the middle of the lake, a little far from the shore.
"Uncle, can you take me there?" Qin Huiyin asked when she saw a small boat parked nearby and an elderly man rowing the boat.
The old man looked in the direction she pointed and nodded in agreement: "Okay, one hundred coins."
"No problem. Thank you for your help." Qin Huiyin got on the boat.
Song Yi and Song Er followed him onto the boat.
The old man was very energetic. After a few strokes of the oar, the boat moved a long way. Qin Huiyin stretched her neck to look in the direction of the flower boat. Seeing that it was circling in place and not moving far, she breathed a sigh of relief.
If that ship left, a small boat like theirs wouldn't be able to catch up. But what were the people on that boat doing? Why were they not only spinning in circles but also shaking so violently?
"Miss, we're here." The old man drove the boat to the side of the flower boat, put up a plank, and let Qin Huiyin get on the flower boat opposite.
As she boarded the boat, she saw a bearded man emerge from it. He was tying his belt with a satisfied look on his face, and when he saw Qin Huiyin, he squinted his eyes and looked at her.
Song Yi and Song Er's expressions changed drastically and they looked at each other warily.
The other party curled his lips and said, "This Bai Qiu is really seductive, he's popular with both men and women!"
Qin Huiyin's cheeks flushed, and she glared at the man angrily. As soon as the man reached the side of the boat, another boat came to pick him up. He stepped on the wooden plank that the other party had set up and walked up. At this time, Qin Huiyin stomped hard on the hull of the boat, and the plank slipped. The rude man screamed in fear and fell into the water with a splash, flopping in the water and shouting "Help!"
