You still have time! She took a deep breath, sorted out her appearance, and walked over there slowly.
"...I am quite skilled at chess, I wonder if I am fortunate enough to play against the young lady?" Qi's father asked.
Before Zhang Fu's daughter could answer, she heard a voice from outside the pavilion: "It's a bit inappropriate for a young lady to play chess with a man, why don't a little girl accompany the young lady to the next game?"
"Rong'er?" Father Qi was stunned when he saw his daughter.
Qi Surong gave his father an imperceptible wink, and then continued to say to Zhang's daughter, "This is the father of a little girl. He loves playing chess so much that he has forgotten the difference between men and women. Please don't be surprised, miss."
The daughter of Zhang's family is also a chess lover, otherwise she would not have gone to this beautiful lake to study chess skills. She heard what Qi Surong said, but she didn't blame her, got up and smiled and said, "I don't know how you two are called?"
"Let's meet friends through chess today, so why should we care about names?" Qi Surong waved, "Miss, please."
The daughter of Zhang's family smiled and returned the ceremony, and they were all seated.
Qi's father is not a stupid person. Seeing his daughter's attitude towards this young lady, he has some doubts and guesses in his heart. He looked back into the distance, and the person who made the bet with him has disappeared.
He had to temporarily suppress his doubts, sit quietly and watch the chess game.
Qi Surong's chess skills are considered outstanding among noble girls, and the daughter of Zhang's family is not bad either.
"The girl has excellent chess skills, and the little girl is willing to be defeated." Zhang Fu's daughter smiled.
"Miss's reputation is just a fluke." Qi Surong returned the salute humbly, without the indomitable arrogance in the past.
Qi's father seems to have no knowledge of her. For the first time, he discovered that once his daughter had regained her vigor, she was so elegant, intelligent, and arrogant.
The daughter of Zhang's family obviously also had a good impression of her, and said sincerely: "I wonder if there will be a chance to play against the girl next time?"
Qi Surong thought about it for a while, then smiled and said, "How about coming here on the fifteenth of every month?"
Although this daughter of Zhang's family is not from an official family, but she has a wealth of wealth and a gentle and tranquil personality, it is very worthwhile to befriend. Of course, the premise is that she doesn't care about the downfall of Qi's family.
Qi Surong's father and daughter bid farewell to the daughter of Zhang's family, and when they returned home, Qi's father immediately asked about it.
Qi Surong replied: "I undoubtedly heard that someone was planning to frame Dad, so I rushed over to check the situation. The young lady I met today is not a Fengyue woman, but a rich family daughter. If Dad is rude, the consequences will be unimaginable."
Qi's father's eyes were angry, he punched the table, and shouted: "Who is so ulterior motive? Do you have to feel that you must kill them all?"
"Father, don't be angry." Qi Surong poured him a cup of tea and comforted him, "My daughter believes that the downfall of the Qi family is only temporary. As long as our family is safe, everything can be done again."
Father Qi gritted his teeth and said, "I don't know how long it will take?"
"Father, don't be in a hurry, and don't trust others. Stay in a corner for the time being and wait for the opportunity."
Qi Surong returned to his room a little tired, and after a hastily grooming, he was ready to sleep.
"Miss, are you all right? Would you like a servant to rub your shoulders?" Ping'er asked while making the bed.
"No need, you should go to rest earlier." Qi Surong threw herself on the bed and shouted while covering the quilt, "I really want to eat crystal lotus seed soup!" But she can't afford it now!
"..."
The next afternoon, Qi Surong came back from the outside and found a blue and white cup in the room. When she opened it, it was the crystal lotus seed soup she had been craving for a long time...
βγChapter 9 It's him
"Ping'er, where did this bowl of crystal lotus seed soup come from?" Qi Surong called Ping'er and pointed to the cup on the table.
Ping'er said: "Could it be that the lady prepared it for the young lady? I didn't see it when the slave servant came to clean up the room in the morning."
It is indeed possible that Qi's mother used to make lotus seed soup for her. Qi Surong looked at the transparent lotus seed soup, and couldn't help but take a sip, a coolness penetrated her heart, and the heat disappeared.
"Well, the taste is really good." Qi Surong took a few more sips with satisfaction, and said casually, "Ping'er, the two bottles of ointment last time worked well, where did you buy them?"
"To remove the ointment? What to remove the ointment? The slaves don't know." Ping'er looked puzzled.
Qi Surong paused, turned and walked towards the cabinet, took out two small porcelain vases from the drawer, and handed them to Ping'er: "Didn't you give this to me?"
Ping'er shook her head: "No, this slave has never seen these two bottles."
Qi Surong frowned. Only Ping'er knew about her injury. It was impossible for her mother to secretly prepare ointment for her without saying a word. Then who sent the ointment? And this cup of lotus seed soup, probably not what she had guessed before, it was prepared by her mother.
While eating, Qi Surong talked side by side about lotus seed soup.
Qi's mother said: "If you are really greedy, then ask someone to buy some ingredients, and mother will make it for you."
"No, my daughter is just talking about it casually. Let's wait until the family is more comfortable." Sure enough, it wasn't her mother. Looking around, everyone on the table looked as usual, obviously it had nothing to do with them.
Could it be that someone is trying to trick her in secret? Qi Surong's face changed slightly, and then he denied the guess. Whether it's the ointment from before or the lotus seed soup just drank, there is no problem. This person should have good intentions.
So, who will it be?
Qi Surong pondered this question until after the meal. This person seems to be very aware of her every move, wouldn't she be spying on her often?
Qi Surong couldn't help looking out the window, only to see an empty yard and mottled tree shadows.
In her memory, there was only one person who would do such a thing. He looks indifferent, but has a soft heart. It's a pity that she didn't know how to cherish it before, and she was prejudiced from the beginning, so that in the end she almost turned against each other.
Counting the time, still have a month or two to meet him, it shouldn't be him...
