Free-spirited Illegitimate Son

Living in the thatched hut in the east of the river, there are always many inconveniences in life, especially the Zhao Dahu couple, who always fight so loudly that Ye Chunqiu can't sleep well.

Every now and then, the Ye family would send some things. Ye San has been having a heated fight with the dealers recently, and Ye Chunqiu didn't bother to pay attention to it. He was thinking about the test at the house, so he didn't move around anymore, let alone go to the Taoyuan.

But on the afternoon of the third day, someone came from Taoyuan. It was the servant who laughed at Ye Chunqiu at first. Is it? My master is looking forward to Master Chunqiu going to Taoyuan day and night, I wonder when Master Chunqiu will be free?"

Ye Chunqiu had already forgotten about this matter, he never thought that the old man was still thinking about him, he couldn't help but smiled wryly, and said: "I want to study, the exam is about to start, if my father knows that I am here to compete with others, I will You can't beat me to death."

The servant's expression turned gloomy immediately. The master's mess can't be solved no matter what. He's already thinking about it day and night. He looks forward to trying again with this young man. Now that he doesn't come, he also said that he has business to do. Do it, Nima, why did you go so early? When you were driven away, didn't you insist on studying chess with the master?

"This... just take a moment to see it, it won't take much time." The servant looked at Ye Chunqiu pitifully with a bitter face.

Ye Chunqiu shook his head and said: "This is impossible. If I pass the government examination, it's fine. If I fail, wouldn't my relatives blame your master for ruining my studies?"

The servant couldn't help but feel disappointed, so he had no choice but to say: "Then I will stop bothering you and leave."

He left the hut with a disappointed expression on his face, and couldn't help muttering a few words: "What's the air, you think your Ye family..."

How did he know that Ye Chunqiu in the thatched hut heard his complaints for real.

This man's mouth is really cheap, if he doesn't meet your master, he will speak evil words, his character is corrupt.

After thinking up to this point, Ye Chunqiu couldn't sit still, he pushed open the firewood gate, and called the servant: "Wait a minute."

The servant was about to leave, but when Ye Chunqiu called him to stop, he came back excitedly: "Master Chunqiu...could it be..."

Ye Chunqiu looked at him with some cold eyes, he hated this kind of evil slave who looked down on others the most, and said: "Since your master is looking forward to learning chess with me, but I can't come to ask for help in person, It might as well be like this, I will draw a few pieces of the endgame, and have a look with your master."

The servant's spirit was shaken, this person surnamed Ye refused to go, it was really hard to explain when he went back, now Ye Chunqiu was willing to use letters to discuss, and finally he could give the master some comfort, so he said happily: "This is the best, thank you, Master Chunqiu."

Ye Chunqiu wanted to laugh in his heart, you idiot, originally your master was dying because of one endgame, and didn't think about food and drink, now you give him a few more endgames, this is obviously tiger wolf medicine, you are still very happy, I really thought you would pick him up! What's cheap?

Uneducated... It's terrible.

Of course...it would be good for you, a wicked servant, to learn a lesson.

Without further ado, Ye Chunqiu went back to the thatched hut and prepared a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, drew a few pictures of the mess, and edited a book. Naturally, he was extremely polite in the letter, saying that he was ashamed and couldn't ask for help in person, and hoped to forgive him.

To deceive people is to deceive others, but etiquette must be comprehensive.

Handing the letter to the evil servant, the evil servant smiled happily, thanked him in a hurry, and left happily.

…………

In the early morning of the next day, Ye Chunqiu woke up laughing, this is a rare day, Zhao Dahu and his wife who lived nearby did not quarrel, Ye Chunqiu only got up after three poles.

After he washed up, he saw a few strong men slowly approaching in the distance with a rattan sedan chair. When the rattan sedan chair approached, the old man came out from the parked sedan chair. The old man looked tired and his eyes were sunken. Apparently he hasn't slept well these few days. When he saw Ye Chunqiu washing up in front of the thatched cottage, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "But nephew Ye Xian? How is nephew Ye Xian doing his homework? Oh... the old man just Pass by here, drop by and take a look."

Still passing through here... Ye Chunqiu wanted to laugh in his heart.Of course Ye Chunqiu understands why the old man came here. He was already fascinated by one endgame, and now he has sent several copies. I am afraid that the old man will go crazy by this time.

Ye Chunqiu said with a look of surprise: "Mr. came from a long way, but the boy didn't meet him from afar, I really deserve to die."

The old man was speechless, but the young man was very polite, but he always had the look of rejecting others thousands of miles away, unable to warm up, he said awkwardly: "I don't know if nephew is free now? Why don't you play a game with me."

"Ah..." Ye Chunqiu said with a look of surprise and regret, "I still need to study, the government exam is getting closer and closer, and I really don't know what to do, but..." He continued in embarrassment: "But if Mr. Seriously, as a junior, even if you waste some of your studies occasionally, you should be with me."

It sounds nice, but it's a soft nail. Do you want to play chess?It's okay, I won't study anymore, can I accompany you?

Are you sincere?Of course very sincere.

It's just... the old man's old face couldn't help twitching. He's an old man, how dare he let a young scholar play chess with him instead of doing his job?

If it spreads out, it will make people poke their spines, the old man said awkwardly: "Ah... no... no... this old man is just saying it casually, you are good at studying, don't let down the expectations of your parents, brothers and grandparents, the old man just said that , just passing through here, uh...the business is important."

He said this in his mouth, but he couldn't move, his heart was itchy, his mind was full of the mess, and he couldn't stop.

But it's not easy to bother me, so I finally gritted my teeth and said: "I'm so hardworking, I still have to visit my old friends, so I'm leaving."

He walked away with mixed feelings and regrets in his heart.

Instead, Ye Chunqiu couldn't bear it anymore. He had never been obsessed with anything, but he knew the feeling of a person who is addicted to a certain hobby. Ye Chunqiu almost wanted to call the old man to stop, but the old man who was going far away was taken by the old man with him. The evil servant supported him, and the evil servant said: "Master, this Ye family's..."

I can't hear the words behind clearly, but Ye Chunqiu also knows that the man can't utter good words, so he can't help laughing in his heart, he's hungry, it's more important to feed himself, what does his master have to do with me if he can solve those messes? ?

……

The old man had already got on the rattan sedan chair, his face was gloomy, and he had the urge to go crazy. Seeing that the young man had returned to the hut, he knew that today he was going to return empty-handed. Hey... It seems that he will have to think hard for a while again tonight. Thinking of this, I feel inexplicably irritable, why can't I solve it, why not...

With a thought in his mind, he said, "Laifu."

"What orders does the master have?"

Sitting in the sedan chair, the old man brushed off the dust on his filial piety, and said calmly: "Go home, oh, these few days, you go to Nanjing, the old man wants to revise a book, and ask Brother Songshan for some chess skills."

Lai Fu hurriedly said: "Yes." He knew in his heart that the master was helpless, so he had to ask his own chess friends for help, thinking that the young man actually used several endgames to make his master forget about eating and drinking, he couldn't help feeling a little annoyed.
