Chapter 118 Divination of Marriage
When he realized this, Pei Du was sitting with Zhao Yungui playing chess under the pavilion of the Zen courtyard.
On the pavilion, there are green trees and swaying shadows.
Under the pavilion, two handsome men, one holding black and the other holding white, sat opposite each other under the chessboard, not saying a word, just looking down and playing chess.
The mottled light and shadow reflected on their faces, making them sharp-edged and smooth.
Pei Du is playing fast chess.
Without thinking, one step and three calculations.
In fact, playing fast chess also means giving the opponent a sense of urgency. Whenever Jiang Jinshuang plays fast chess with others, the opponent's players will unconsciously become nervous and make mistakes because of her increased speed.
On the opposite side, Zhao Yungui was calm and didn't seem to care much about someone's pressing steps.
Looking from a distance, it looks like a gorgeous scene.
Xiaozheng went to prepare meals.
Jiang Jinshuang smiled and walked towards the pavilion.
She didn't say anything, she just stood next to Zhao Yungui and watched the chess game very naturally.
I don't know if it was Jiang Jinshuang's misunderstanding. When she stood next to Zhao Yungui, Pei Du's chess style became more intense.
Both of them have a steady and steady chess style, but compared to Zhao Yungui, Pei Du has gained her true inheritance, and his chess style will be more treacherous and changeable.
Just looking at the current situation, it seems that Zhao Yungui has the advantage.
Jiang Jinshuang raised her eyebrows and bent slightly to take a look at Zhao Yungui's position.
He curled his lips.
It was Zhao Yun's turn to take over again.
"Zhao Yun returns."
Jiang Jinshuang spoke softly and looked at him with a smile.
There was a slight pause in the chess game.
The hand holding the chess piece stopped in the air, and he raised his eyes slightly to look at her.
——She was telling him to think twice.
Pei Du lowered his eyes and just looked at the chess piece in his hand without looking up at the two of them.
Zhao Yungui paused for a moment and said lightly: "Your Highness, watch the chess without saying a word."
Jiang Jinshuang shrugged and gave up.
No regrets for making a move.
Seeing Zhao Yungui's missing son, Jiang Jinshuang knew that Zhao Yungui's situation was difficult to save.
Although he still had an advantage in the chess game, the too steady layout prevented him from making changes.
You will suffer a loss.
Sure enough, within half a stick of incense, the situation was reversed.
After Pei Du made his last move, Zhao Yungui glanced at the chessboard, picked up two chess pieces, and placed them on the table.
The outcome is decided.
Only then did Jiang Jinshuang speak, smiling and saying to Zhao Yungui: "Look, I advise you to come."
Zhao Yungui's tone was clear and calm: "Your Highness has not eaten this morning. If you are hungry, you can have some snacks first."
Jiang Jinshuang was not hungry. She sat on the chair between the two of them and did not speak.
Pei Du silently cleared the chessboard, and Zhao Yungui also stretched out his hand to return the chess pieces to their positions.
"Do you have anything to talk about?" Jiang Jinshuang smiled, "I'm going to play with Xiao Zhengze first. You guys can talk."
With that said, Jiang Jinshuang stood up and left the pavilion.
——From beginning to end, Pei Du didn’t even look at him.
Pei Du lowered his eyes, and the black chess piece reflected with his white finger bones, showing a somewhat deserted crystal.
Zhao Yungui sat upright and said coldly: "Why are you always playing fast chess these years?"
If he had had his previous chess style, the game just now might have ended earlier.
Ever since Zhao Yungui played a game of chess with Jiang Jinshuang last year, he didn't like playing chess much anymore.
So in the past three years, he rarely played against Pei Du. I saw his chess style today, which was very different from previous years.
The finger bones of picking up the chess piece paused slightly, and Pei Du said quietly: "I'm used to it."
Just like the difficulty he had when he changed to fast chess, if he really changed it, he found that it had become a habit.
Zhao Yungui lowered his eyes: "I can't give you the answer your Majesty wants."
Pei Du was not surprised by Zhao Yungui's answer: "I will make it clear to you together with your Majesty."
Zhao Yungui said: "A white rainbow shines through the sun, and it is true that a disaster star strikes the moon. But I haven't figured out where the disaster star is yet, so I can't marry the wrong person."
Zhao Yungui and Pei Du both know who His Majesty thinks the disaster star is, or who he wants to blame.
"I understand." Pei Du said calmly.
Zhao Yungui took three white stones in his hand.
Turn it over a few times in the palm of your hand and spread your fingers to check.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
The long eyelashes tremble slightly.
"I just made a little hexagram for myself," Zhao Yungui said in a clear voice, "The hexagram says that if you make the wrong decision today, you may suffer a bloody disaster."
As he spoke, Zhao Yungui raised his eyes slightly and looked straight at the handsome and distant man in front of him.
"Master Chief Assistant, if I just said that the disaster star is her, will you kill me?"
Pei Du stopped picking up the chess pieces.
He put all the black stones in his hand back into the chess jar, then raised his eyes and met Zhao Yungui's gaze.
"The Imperial Preceptor has misunderstood. A humble minister would not do such a thing," after a pause, Pei Du continued, "What's more, I know very well that the Imperial Preceptor will not talk nonsense."
Zhao Yungui's eyebrows did not move, still looking at him.
Pei Du's eyes followed his and slowly fell on the three white chess pieces he had just used for divination.
"I have heard that the imperial masters of the past dynasties are not allowed to make divination for themselves."
Zhao Yungui fiddled with the three white chess pieces in his hand: "Yes, so I divined this hexagram for Mr. Pei."
If we talk about close relationships, Zhao Yungui and Pei Du can be regarded as the mainstays of the Wanjin court. Both of them are gentlemen, and they can also be called "good friends".
But for some unknown reason, when they met today, the two of them seemed to have some vague hostility.
Zhao Yungui stared: "I just arranged a marriage for you without permission."
Pei Du said nothing and still looked at him.
Zhao Yungui spoke calmly and calmly: "The person who is destined by your Majesty does not have the air of a royal family."
……
As soon as Jiang Jinshuang entered the kitchen, she smelled the fragrance of food.
Through the steam of the pot, Jiang Jinshuang caught a glimpse of Xiao Zhengze cooking in front of the stove.
"Sir, how can you have such a big stove?"
It doesn't look much higher than the stove.
Zhengze frowned: "What are you doing here?"
If he wants to stir-fry chili peppers, he will choke.
I just want to drive people away.
Jiang Jinshuang blinked with an aggrieved look on his face: "Sir, I haven't eaten meat in the Huguo Temple for two days."
Hearing this, Zhengze put his hands on his hips and lectured: "Killing is prohibited in the Huguo Temple. Do you still want me to break the precept?"
"No, no," Jiang Jinshuang smiled and waved her hand, "I mean, Mr. Zhengze, you are such a good cook. After lunch, can you accompany me to the back mountains to hunt some game?"
Before Zhengze could glare at her, Jiang Jinshuang hurriedly swore and promised: "I will only set up a fire in the back mountain to eat, and I will never bring it to Huguo Temple!"
——She just took a fancy to Zhengze's cooking skills and took him to the back mountain to catch game. She would definitely make it delicious!
Zhengze has been following the Imperial Master since he was a child, and Zhao Yungui has been practicing Taoism. Although he can't help but eat meat, he doesn't eat much on weekdays.
It's just that his daily diet will not be imposed on him. Children are growing up, and they can't do anything without eating meat.
Therefore, Xiao Zhengze eats a lot of meat.
He came to Huguo Temple earlier than Jiang Jinshuang, so he had many more days without meat than she did.
It's okay if he doesn't want to, but now that Jiang Jinshuang has hooked him like this, Xiao Zheng looked at the shiny green leafy vegetables in the pot and suddenly felt less appetite.
