The morning light is faint.Outside the soup house.

The carriage came to a steady stop, Youbai jumped down to help Zhao Liangyue get off, turned around and picked up the prepared gift, and just as he turned his head, he saw the servants of the Tang Mansion had already greeted him.

"Master Zhao, the master is watching fish, please follow me."

Zhao Liangyue nodded to signal, and brought Youbai into the mansion with him.

The Tang Mansion was bestowed by the late Emperor, so it is elegant and elegant, and it is one of the best mansions in Kyoto. However, during Zhao Liangyue's stay, he felt that something was missing - except for the guards outside the gate and the servants who led the way. It was too deserted to see any family servants and servants, and nothing else to bring vitality.

After walking through a straight corridor and outside the main hall, the sound of birdsong and running water gradually came into my ears, the servant did not go any further, and asked Zhao Liangyue and Youbai to go in by themselves.

The two of them walked inside, and when they looked up, they saw that the entire hall was packed to the brim, with all kinds of thrushes flopping back and forth, and below was a pond that took up most of the hall, and there were several goldfish and koi in it. In the hollow above the pool is a grape vine shed, which has just sprouted new green in late spring, which makes people feel comfortable and comfortable.Zhao Liangyue couldn't help thinking that the first time he saw Tang Lao, he used a grape vine to tie his hair.

Seeing someone coming, the parrots rushed to call out.

"There's a guest, there's a guest, get up, old man! Get up!"

Youbai leaned close to Zhao Liangyue's ear and whispered: "Master, when I came last time, I ate here. After a meal, the parrots will meet as I said. The little things are very clever."

"Who is it?" After a while, Tang Kang's voice came from inside, and it sounded like he had just woken up.

It was only then that Zhao Liangyue noticed that there was a bamboo rocking chair on the side of the grape vine shed, and Tang Kang lay on it for a rest.

Zhao Liangyue hurriedly stepped forward: "It's the junior Zhao Liangyue who came to pay respects, unexpectedly disturbing Mr. Tang, and looking at Haihan."

"It's you." Tang Kang smiled, raised his hand to let them sit down, caught a glimpse of the box in Youbai's hand, and asked, "Could this be a gift for the old man?"

Before Zhao Liangyue could speak, Youbai rushed up to Tang Kang, opened the box and handed it to him, saying happily: "We asked Wei Xinglin to Master Wei, Grandpa Tang must like it!"

grandfather?Zhao Liangyue was stunned for a moment, wondering when Youbai and Tang Lao got so close.

Tang Kang uncovered the brocade cloth in the box, picked up the jade wrench finger carved with a little monkey inside, stroked his beard with a smile, and said: "Among the old people in the dynasty, only Wei Xinglin understands my preferences best, you guys Really asked the right person."

Zhao Liangyue stood up, bowed respectfully to Tang Kang, and said: "The junior was brought to the Jinluan guard last time, thank you Mr. Tang for asking the junior for an explanation afterwards."

Tang Kang waved his hand and said with a smile, "I'm just helping you through the process."

When Zhao Liangyue heard the words, he knew that Tang had already seen Xing Shuo's tricks, but he still acted out the act together.

"Okay, okay, get up and sit down." Tang Kang stretched out his hand to help Zhao Liangyue get up, and said, "I knew you would come, and I have been waiting for you to play chess with me. I have been holding back for a long time."

Zhao Liangyue replied: "It's just that the younger generation is not good at chess, and I'm going to disappoint Mr. Tang."

Tang Kang laughed twice, and said: "No, the one who taught you is not an ordinary person."

Zhao Liangyue was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Tang Kang, Tang Kang was also looking at him with a smile, his eyes were full of composure.

Before Wang Yu was alive, whenever he could not sleep at night, he would ask Zhao Liangyue to play chess with him. Zhao Liangyue never won in three years, but later he was able to hold on for a long time. Therefore, Zhao Liangyue felt that his chess skills were poor, until later he played chess with all kinds of talents. Zhao Liangyue realized that it wasn't that he was too weak, but that the teacher was too strong.

When the teacher was still in the capital and was still in the position of the emperor's teacher, he must have played chess with Tang Kang no less than a thousand times. The two of them were young, energetic and talented.

Tang Kang summoned his servants to set up the chessboard. Youbai knew he couldn't understand it, so he got Tang Kang's permission to go for a walk in the backyard to play.

At the beginning of the chess game, Zhao Liangyue went all out and did not dare to slack off. Tang Kang also became interested, and before he knew it, an hour had passed.

When the dual-active situation was on the chessboard, Tang Kang made a clever move to resolve it, killing Zhao Liangyue and being caught off guard—at this moment, Zhao Liangyue felt as if he had returned to Maozhou a year ago. He beat himself again, smiled lightly, picked up a chess piece and looked at it for a long time, as if he was recalling something.

"Your teacher, when he set out from the capital to repel Tu Yuan, he threatened to return to the capital on the day he would be undefeated against me. On the surface, I pretended not to care much and waited for him to leave , I looked for people to play chess everywhere to improve my chess skills, but I found that no one could be regarded as an opponent except him. So I was very bored. I hoped that he would come back, thinking that Tu Yuan was just a barbarian in the southwest, Fan Qiguang And he brought people there personally, why has there been no news of the class teacher returning to the court?"

When Tang Kang said this, he rubbed the chess pieces in his hands, and couldn't help sighing and laughing: "But no one thought that the news of his treason came back in the end, and I will never have a chance to play against him again."

It seems that Tang Kang has already seen his identity, and Zhao Liangyue no longer hides it, and said bluntly: "During the treason case, did Mr. Tang know other secrets?"

Tang Kang shook his head, dropped the chess piece in his hand, and said, "But I can tell you why he chose to flee to Maozhou."

Zhao Liangyue subconsciously squeezed the chess pieces in his hands tightly.

"When the treason case happened back then, he went back to Beijing to seek justice, but was given a glass of poisoned wine by the late emperor. Fortunately, Wei Xinglin and I managed to save him. When he woke up, his family was ruined." Tang Kang sighed, "We can't stay in Beijing any longer. When I asked him where he was going, he was already ashamed and a little crazy, and finally raised his finger and pointed in the direction of Maozhou, and I understood."

"Wang Yu's first wife is a member of the Zhao family in Xuanshan, Maozhou."

Zhao Liangyue knew it was impossible, but he still couldn't help asking: "Is it true that no blood was rescued?"

"No." Tang Kang sighed, "But he risked his life, but left behind a little blood of Marquis Wu'an. In the whole capital, except me, only the Xiao family knows about this." Tang Kang said, Looking towards the backyard.

Zhao Liangyue looked in the direction of Tang Kang's gaze, just in time to see Youbai running towards him with an orange cat in his arms, he couldn't help being shocked, and looked back at Tang Kang in disbelief, Tang Kang nodded to him.

Therefore, from the very beginning, the Xiao family had such an unreasonable attitude towards Youbai, just because they knew...

"My lord, why do you have such an expression?" Youbai clicked his tongue and said, "I just wandered around Grandpa Tang's yard, looking at the flowers and grass, and cuddling the cat who is much better than Ah Bai, but I didn't cause any trouble! "

Zhao Liangyue lowered his head, and the hair in front brushed down, covering the emotions that were temporarily difficult to restrain on his face.

How can I tell Youbai so that he won't suffer so much after knowing the truth?He is obviously not an abandoned orphan, his father is the Marquis of Wu'an who is admired by thousands of people, he should have parents who love him very much, not...

Tang Kang smoothed things over with a smile: "Your son, I lost the game of chess with the old man. I'm just unhappy, and I'm playing childish temper."

"I don't believe it!" Youbai immediately retorted, "My young master has always been prudent, so you must have offended him because of your disrespect."

Tang Kang groaned, and said with a smile: "Just now, I just took a bite of Grandpa Tang's, but now I've turned my face? Come on, give the cat back to the old man."

Youbai gave the orange cat to Tang Kang with disdain, jumped to Zhao Liangyue's side, and said, "My lord, tell me if there is something wrong!"

Zhao Liangyue forcibly pressed his emotions back, put on a smile and turned around, saying: "It's true that I'm not as skilled as others, and I'm also petty and angry."

Youbai let out an ah at first, and then said with a smile: "It's okay, he lived decades longer than you, it's normal to beat you, when the young master reaches this age, he must be better than him."

Zhao Liangyue staggered his eyes, not looking at the carefree smile on Youbai's face.

Tang Kang looked at the sky and said: "It's almost lunch time, you should hurry home and eat."

Youbai immediately yelled: "Don't let us have a meal, are you so stingy today?" As soon as he finished speaking, Youbai suddenly realized that Tang Kang was a highly respected figure in the capital. Didn't he start to act presumptuously because of his kindness?Young Master must teach himself a lesson again.

Youbai looked carefully at Zhao Liangyue, but Zhao Liangyue seemed to be thinking about something and had no time to take care of him.

Tang Kang glanced at the two, got up and yawned, and said, "Go back, Wei Xinglin and Xiao Rong should be waiting for you in your courtyard."

Zhao Liangyue got up and bid farewell to Youbai.

On the way back, Zhao Liangyue was speechless all the way, Youbai thought that he was really upset that he lost the chess game, so he began to comfort him.

"Young master, it's really all right. He sees his old hair is white, his teeth have fallen out, and he eats more salt than we can walk. What's wrong with playing a few more games of chess?"

"Besides, son, you are... ahem, I forgot to say it, anyway, son, you are much better than him, and in a few days it will be the official selection test, when you will be an official of the court, but he is a half-official None."

"My son, my son? Why don't you pay attention to me? How about I sing you a song, but my singing is the same as your writing. One has no eyes to see, and the other has no ears to hear."

"Forget it, I'll sing anyway."

"The road is far away, the lake is clear, and I ran into a shepherd boy riding a cow. The mountain is high and the sky is clear. The scholar only asked the way back. There is not a single family with the scholar's surname."

"It's over, it's so ugly, but son, do you still remember, we sang it together when we were young, you learned it first, and then taught me, but you don't sing it yourself, old love asks me to sing it, look at me ashamed! "

While Youbai was talking to himself, he had already arrived at the gate of his own yard. As expected, Uncle Song was waiting there. As soon as he saw the carriage stopped, he came over and said, "My lord, Mr. Wei and Mr. Xiao are here."

Youbai helped Zhao Liangyue get off the carriage, saw that the corners of Zhao Liangyue's eyes were red, and hurriedly asked, "Master, what's wrong with you?"

Zhao Liangyue glanced at him, raised his hand and patted his forehead, and said, "I was confused by the bugs, you were singing outside just now, very cheerful, you didn't even hear me call you."

Youbai groaned, and said, "With my extraordinary hearing ability, it's impossible!"

Zhao Liangyue walked to the courtyard with Uncle Song, and left a sentence: "It must be that you have been slackening in your practice recently."

Youbai was stunned for a moment, and thought guiltyly, recently, he has indeed been lazy in his practice, but he didn't expect that it would affect his hearing?

No, no, I decided not to be lazy anymore!
