Jinbuju was in a state of harmony. In the kitchen, Yao Si and Yan were making plum blossom cakes. Lan Xin helped to remove the petals and Yan was kneading the noodles. Yao Si was injured and sat in front of the stove to burn the remaining buns in the morning.

After the noodles were settled, Yan washed his hands, looked at the buns, and it was all hot, so he picked up a few and put them on the plate, "Lan Xin, bring them there. It's past meal time, and I should have been hungry."

Lan Xin said, put down the plum blossoms, ran out with the buns, and then turned back after a few steps: "I'll bring a pot of tea over again." Then she ran out with the teapot.

Yan smiled and said, "This Lan Xin is really well-behaved, diligent, obedient and simple. I'll feel relieved to be by your side."

Yao Si smiled helplessly and said, "Mom, I'm not a spoiled girl. At most, I can't help myself when I'm free." She didn't feel nobler than Lan Xin, and naturally she didn't feel that she deserved to be served by others.

But what she didn't expect was that her father and mother were very adept at using the girl, and she didn't feel any awkwardness, which made her strange. However, she didn't take such a small matter to heart, and she just thought about it and passed it.

Lan Xin came back soon, "The master and Mr. Qiu are still playing chess. They haven't even drunk the cup of tea before, so they're serious."

Yan couldn't help laughing: "It seems that one chess fool met another chess fool."

After Qiu Ji helped Yao Si pick the plum blossoms, Yao Si and Yan were busy in the kitchen, so he went to play chess with Yao Zhengyu. From the beginning to now, they have been playing for almost half an hour, and they are becoming more and more fascinated.

"Changwen is really good." Yan praised sincerely. Thinking about his identity, he didn't know what he was, he asked, "Which young master is Changwen?"

Yao Si knew that this question would be asked by her parents sooner or later, and she was also hesitant to tell her parents Qiu Ji's identity.

Actually, when I think about it, there seems to be nothing that cannot be said. However, at the beginning, Qiu Ji did not explain her identity, so she subconsciously thought that Qiu Ji didn't want to say it. Since the parties involved didn't want to say it, would it be appropriate for her to tell it?

"Si'er?" Seeing her stunned, Yan couldn't help but repeat: "Changwen is the son of a noble family in Beijing?"

Yao Si smiled and said, "I don't know you even though I said it. I'm just a high-ranking official anyway."

"How can I know if you don't say it? I may not know it if you say it---even though the news in the countryside is blocked, I have never heard of the people and affairs in Beijing."

Yao Si knew that since her mother was asking about Qiu Ji's identity, she must have already felt some recognition in her heart. She was not sure yet, and she didn't know what she was with Qiu Ji.

Reason told her that it was impossible for her and Qiu Ji to be, at least now, but in the past few days, Qiu Ji's thoughts on her can be said to be very obvious. He seemed to be completely careless and did not avoid it. Instead, he met his parents. In the countryside, these behaviors can be regarded as engagement.

She didn't want to disappoint her parents. Once they decided that Qiu Ji was a good candidate, but the two of them couldn't go the same way in the future, how disappointed would they be?!

Perhaps, letting my mother know what kind of pride Qiu Ji is, so that she can see the reality more clearly.

"He is the eldest son of the current supporter."

"Pa----" Yan's hand relaxed when he held the dough, and the dough fell into the wooden basin with a bang, making a muffled sound.

Yao Si looked up, but saw that Yan's face was as pale as paper and looked frightened. She was anxious: "Mom, what's wrong?"

Yan trembled slightly, held the stove, lowered his head and remained silent for a long time before he forced a smile and said, "It's okay, I haven't had a good rest these days, I'm so tired."

Although Yao Si was suspicious, his mother didn't look tired, but was frightened. What was she frightened? She just mentioned Qiu Ji's identity? She was surprised because of his identity and was indirectly frightened again?

She was full of suspicion, but she knew that Yan would not tell the truth, so she pretended to be relieved and said lightly: "Mom, don't put too much sugar."

Yan was holding the stove, her chest was undulating. She slowly picked up the dough. Although she tried her best to restrain her, Yao Si could see clearly. She knew that her mother must have something to hide from her, so she silently recorded it. She couldn't ask any questions today. After a few days, she would be slower and she would not be too late to knock on her.

Qiu Ji picked many plum blossoms, and the five trees were not picked except at the top, and the ones below were almost picked. The originally beautiful plum blossom trees also looked bare and deserted.

Yan said that the plum blossoms could not be picked for a long time, but the plum blossom cakes were OK, so he simply made all the plum blossoms into plum blossom cakes. When the three of them finished their work, it was more than two hours later.

The three of them were carrying a plate of plum blossom cakes and Lan Xin came to the main hall with a pot of tea. However, they saw Yao Zheng and Qiu Ji still playing chess. They did not notice the movements of the three people entering the room.

Yan looked at Qiu Ji, for some reason, and his eyes were complicated and Yao Si couldn't understand.

She knew that the problem must be Qiu Ji's identity, but she couldn't figure it out. Even if Qiu's family was unattainable, her mother's reaction was a bit too extreme.

Qiu Ji was the first to come back to his senses. Suddenly, he turned his head slightly and smiled at Yan.

Yan Shi shook her mind and opened her eyes almost panic, but she smiled and said, "You two should talk about it, it's time to have a meal."

Yao Zhengyu was still unwilling to leave the chessboard and asked Qiu Ji: "Is there anything else to do in the afternoon of Changwen? If you have nothing to do, let's play a few more games?"

Yao Si knew that his father loved playing Go, but in the past, no one in the village knew how to play, so he went to a fortune teller in the town when he was free. Often, he didn't know the time at once, and sometimes he only knew how to return home when it was dark.

When they met Qiu Ji this time, they looked like they were chess skills, and each had their own winning or losing. Yao Zhengyu was very happy. As soon as he got into the chess, it was difficult to suppress it.

Qiu Ji smiled and said, "My uncle is skilled and I am naturally happy to be able to play chess and write long articles with him. If I hadn't met in the afternoon, I wouldn't have left."

Yao Zhengyu was a little disappointed. He rarely met a person who could play chess. Thinking of his elders pestering the younger generation to play chess, he couldn't help laughing, "I'll come often in the future and continue next time."

Yan said angrily: "What are you waiting for next time? Don't be embarrassed. What are you doing with your child? We will go back in a few days."

Qiu Ji's eyes moved slightly and he sat on the table with a smile.

After dinner, Qiu Ji said that he had made an appointment with someone and said goodbye, and promised to come back to play chess with Yao Zheng and Yao at noon the next day.

Yao Zheng and Natural were very happy. He forgot everything if someone played chess. Yan's smile was a little reluctant.

Yao Si thought about it and sent Qiu Ji out of the door until he couldn't see his back.

Qiu Ji returned to Qiu's mansion, Wei Zha was waiting for him to wait. When he saw that he was back, he quickly stepped forward, half teasing and half happy in his tone: "Have you forgotten the time in Jinbuju? The young man couldn't wait any longer and could not wait, and he was anxious."

Qiu Ji went straight back to the house, Wei Zha followed in, and his tone couldn't hide his happiness: "Everything was as expected by the young master. Jingzhao Yin did not catch the young master of the Yi marching, and the Ministry of Justice also targeted the hiding place of the Yi marching, and captured about twenty people."

"Yeah, I understand." Qiu Ji picked up the book and read it again.

Wei Zha knew that the young master was reading books when he was idle and he didn't like to disturb him, so he consciously left the house.

After leaving the house, I couldn't help but sigh, "You'll have to make your master angry in the future, otherwise you won't have a good ending."

Take this for example. He thought the young master had forgotten the incident of encircling and suppressing the bandits in Mu'anshan, but he didn't expect to keep thinking about it. He was marching by the charity and left the account of the three Guan Ba ​​brothers, and he finally got it back today.
