Chapter 369: Because I Want to Be the One Playing Chess
The carriage gradually stopped, the windows and doors opened from the inside, and Jiang Yueyang walked out from inside, bending over.
Lu Yunting reached out and pulled her out of the car. Seeing that the pear blossom hairpin he gave her was a little crooked, he raised his hand to adjust it.
"Ayue, where are we? Aren't we going to see my uncle?"
"This is a separate courtyard of the Lin family in the north of the city. My uncle didn't want to live in the general's mansion, so he always lived here when he was in the capital."
This place is far away from the center of the imperial city and a bit remote. It seems that no one lives in the houses nearby.
It gives people a quiet and peaceful feeling, very comfortable.
Jiang Yueyang turned her head to look at the door plaque, and saw the words "Lin Ju" engraved on it in an elegant and freehand font.
Lu Yunting gently shook her hand and said, "Let's go in. My uncle must be waiting anxiously."
Jiang Yueyang smiled brightly and teased him softly, "Is it my uncle who is getting impatient? Or are you getting impatient?"
"I."
Jiang Yueyang felt that it was a great feeling to have a boyfriend who couldn't wait to take you to meet his parents.
"Let's go." Lu Yunting took her hand and walked towards the door.
"Hey~ Wait, a gift."
Hearing this, Lu Yunting let go of her hand and went back to take the gift out of the carriage.
Go back to her side and go in hand in hand.
Lu Yunting took Jiang Yueyang to a yard in the front yard and called out "uncle". When he heard no response, he took her to the backyard.
"My uncle is not in his own yard, he should be in my mother's yard."
"When I was little, my mother told me that after they got into trouble and made my grandfather angry, they would sneak out here and stay for a few days, waiting for my grandfather to calm down before going back."
"When my uncle was little, he was clingy and timid. He always wanted to stay with my mother and spent more time in my mother's yard than in his own yard."
"..."
Lu Yunting smiled and told the story of his mother, father, uncle and others, and Jiang Yueyang listened patiently.
After a long while, Lu Yunting seemed to feel that he had said too much and stopped talking embarrassedly.
"Yangyang, am I too long-winded?"
Jiang Yueyang shook her head, "I like listening to you talk about these things, you look very nice when you talk about these things.
From now on, you can tell me anything you want to say. I will accompany you to recall those moments when you feel happy. "
Ah Yue must have wanted to tell others his true feelings countless times, but before this he had no one to whom he could completely open his heart.
"Yangyang, no matter what happens in the future, please don't leave me, okay?"
"it is good."
The two walked through the corridor and just as they reached the backyard, they smelled a faint fragrance of plum blossoms.
Jiang Yueyang looked up and saw a man in black brocade clothes standing with his back to the plum tree in the distance, looking up at the plum blossoms above his head.
It snowed in the morning, and the beautiful red plum blossoms put on their snow-white dresses. The white was rosy, and they looked delicate and beautiful.
【Host! 】
The system suddenly called her, with a hint of shock and urgency in its voice.
Jiang Yueyang paused and asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"
The system looked at the black mist and responded quickly: [I... there is a problem with my program, I need to fix it.
Don't talk to me later, or I might break down.
Jiang Yueyang frowned, [Is it so serious?]
[Right! So don’t talk to me later.]
Jiang Yueyang hummed in a muffled voice, then stood there for a moment, pondering, and then asked: "Little melon, you'll be fine, right?"
The system was stunned for a moment, then smiled proudly and said, "Of course! As long as I'm not interrupted during the repair process, I will be safe."
I will definitely not talk to you.
【Well, I'm going to start.】
Jiang Yueyang immediately stopped talking.
"Yang Yang?"
Hearing Lu Yunting's voice, Jiang Yueyang slowly came back to her senses and then forced a faint smile.
"I'm fine. Let's go to my uncle's place."
"Ah."
Lu Yunting held her hand slightly, as if to give her strength.
A moment later, when he was about five or six meters away from General Qiu, he seemed to feel someone approaching and looked back.
When General Qiu saw the two people holding hands, he was stunned for a moment, then forced a gentle smile.
"Ziyue, is this your sweetheart? The girl is so pretty, and she's a perfect match for our Ah Yue."
The two men stepped forward together.
Jiang Yueyang politely knelt before General Qiu and said, "Hello, General Qiu, I am Jiang Yueyang."
General Qiu nodded slightly and said, "Go in first. It's cold outside."
Then, the three of them went into the house together.
As soon as they sat down, General Qiu looked at Jiang Yueyang with a smile and said, "I heard that you two are engaged?"
Jiang Yueyang responded "yes" a little nervously, inexplicably worried that General Qiu didn't like her.
"Then you should follow Ah Yue and call me uncle."
Hearing this, Jiang Yueyang immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a little shy.
When it was just her and A Yue, she could easily call out "Uncle", but she felt a little embarrassed to call him that in front of her uncle.
Seeing that Jiang Yueyang was at a loss for words, General Qiu jokingly said, "Ayue, your charm has greatly diminished!
The little girl hasn't made up her mind to marry you yet. When you were in the frontier before, those little girls were..."
"Uncle!" Lu Yunting called him in a louder voice.
General Qiu stopped talking with an embarrassed expression, looked away vaguely, and did not continue speaking.
Although General Qiu didn't finish his words, Jiang Yueyang understood.
She reached out and pinched Lu Yunting's waist hard, then said with a smile, "Don't blame me, little uncle. I was just a little embarrassed just now. If nothing unexpected happens, Ah Yue and I will get married."
At the same time, Lu Yunting felt a pain in his waist and his face changed slightly. He met Jiang Yueyang's smiling gaze and didn't dare to say a word to quibble.
General Qiu looked over at the voice and said, "That's good. Ziyue likes you very much. He has sacrificed something very important for you."
Hearing this, the smile on Jiang Yueyang's face froze at first, and then gradually faded away.
Noticing her mood change, Lu Yunting took her hand and held it tightly.
"Uncle." Lu Yunting pushed the box in front of him towards General Qiu, "This is a gift Yangyang prepared specially for you."
General Qiu opened the box and found a set of chess pieces made of polished green and red warm jade. They were obviously worth a lot of money.
He picked up a chess piece and felt its texture. It was warm to the touch, and had the delicate feeling of being caressed by years.
The texture of the surface seems to tell stories of the past.
He could feel that this chess piece had been imbued with the aura of countless people and had gone through one fierce game after another.
Rising and falling on the criss-crossing chessboard, I have witnessed fierce fighting and ingenious layout.
Jiang Yueyang followed up Lu Yunting's words and said, "I heard that my uncle likes playing chess. I hope you like this gift."
General Qiu put the chess piece back in his hand with a light movement and said with a smile, "I like it very much."
After he finished speaking, he stood up, walked into the room, took out a box and handed it to Jiang Yueyang.
"I don't know what girls your age like. I hope you like it."
Jiang Yueyang opened the box and saw a red bracelet made of an unknown material. The beads on it were only the size of red beans and the design was very beautiful.
She said sincerely, “I like it very much.”
After General Qiu sat down, his eyes unconsciously fell on the chess pieces in the box.
Jiang Yueyang smiled when she saw this, "It seems that I chose the right gift. My uncle likes it very much."
"Yes, I like it very much. Little girl, do you know why I like playing chess?"
Jiang Yueyang shook her head.
"Because I want to be the one playing chess."
