As Mr. Xu Er said, the Minister of Revenue is an old fox. Even if he has a lot of resentment towards the old man, he still does a lot of effort on the surface.

After welcoming the two of them into the living room, he ordered the servants to serve tea and asked, "I wonder what the old man has to do today?"

The old man has always been clear and has no connection with any official in the court, let alone the official's mansion.

"That's it..." The old man went straight to the point, "The emperor transferred Song Si to the Ministry of Revenue and served as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. I brought him here today because I wanted Lord Shangshu to take care of him in the future."

The Minister of Revenue was slightly stunned, "When is this happening, why don't I know?"

He is the Minister of Revenue. If there is any personnel transfer, he will be the first to know, but he has not received any news yet.

"Just after Song Si and Yue'er donated silver to the Ministry of War."

The Minister of Revenue suddenly realized.

After Song Si and Song Wanyue donated one million taels of silver, everyone was speculating on how the emperor would reward them, but there was no news in the palace that it turned out that Song Si was transferred to be the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, which was Wen Zhong's original position.

Thinking of Wen Zhong, the Minister of Revenue thought of the second daughter who lived in a villa outside the city with his two children. He looked at Song Si a few times and speculated about the emperor's intention to be transferred to the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, but said, "Why do you need to go for such a small matter yourself? Just send someone to tell me, and I will naturally take care of you."

"Thank you, Lord Shangshu."

"You are polite, Mr. Song Sina is the top scorer in the undergraduate degree. With his knowledge, I will also look up to him."

The old man nodded, "Song Si, haven't thanked Lord Shangshu yet."

Song Si got up and gave a big gift.

The Minister of the Ministry of Revenue helped him with shame, "If you encounter any problems in the Ministry of Revenue in the future, or if you don't understand anything, please ask me, we are a family, so don't be polite."

"Thank you, sir."

...

The Minister of Revenue personally sent the two out. After seeing them get on the carriage, he turned around and returned, and his face calmed down. When Wen Zhong was still appreciating the old man, he didn't see the old man come to give him gifts for him. Now he is just a relative who is turning around. The old man actually leans down and takes him over in person.

"Come!"

The housekeeper comes here.

"Twist the things they brought today on the street!"

The butler probably called two servants, went to the living room, picked up the things on the table and threw them on the street outside the side door.

The old gentleman and Song Si naturally didn't know what happened after they left, so they returned home in a carriage.

Song Wanyue was playing with her sleeve arrow happily.

The old man saw at a glance that it was the one Xu Yan made back then, and said with a smile, "This is the treasure that your uncle has under his chest. It seems that he has lost."

"It's not just a loss, it's a loss."

Xu Yan said this, but the smile in his eyes could not be concealed.

His chess skills inherited the old man, and few people played him, but Yue'er beat him in a quarter of an hour, even more prodigy than a prodigy.

"oh?"

"It didn't take a quarter of an hour."

The old man was surprised. Yue'er won in less than a quarter of an hour? So, did this girl hide tricks when she played chess with her before?

"It was my uncle who lost intentionally, so he wanted to send me a sleeve arrow."

Xu Yan was stunned and then laughed, "You girl, you really know how to give your uncle a face, but your uncle doesn't accept your affection. If your uncle loses, he will lose. If he loses, he will be convinced."

The old man was itchy when he heard this, so he immediately asked Xu Liang to put the chessboard, "Girl, come, accompany my great-grandfather in the next game. If you beat me within a quarter of an hour, my great-grandfather will agree to you with a condition."

"Great-grandfather, you are just lying to the child..." Song Wanyue accused, "With your chess skills, I'm afraid that no one in the world will win you within a quarter of an hour.

Several people in the house were amused, and even Xu Liang, who was standing at the door waiting, couldn't help laughing.

"You girl...", the old man smiled docilely, "Then it's only two quarters of an hour, no more, no more, no more great-grandfather will not agree to your conditions."

Song Wanyue thought seriously for a while before nodding cautiously, "Great-grandfather must keep his word. As long as I win, you must agree no matter what conditions you put."

"That's natural...", the old man couldn't wait to sit down, "Come here and start."

Song Wanyue sat over, Xu Yan and Song Si moved a stool and sat on both sides to watch.

Song Wanyue used his own chess strategy, and he showed his sharpness as soon as he came up, pressing him step by step, and the old man faced the battle calmly.

A quarter of an hour passed, and half of the black and white pieces on the chessboard were all, and I couldn't see the winner.

But Song Wanyue took a few more chess pieces in her hand, and while playing with her, she looked at the chessboard. The old man looked solemn and stared at the chessboard.

Song Wanyue combined her and Gu Yi's chess paths together, and the old man couldn't understand her routine for a while.

Seeing that two quarters of an hour were coming, Song Wanyue held the chess piece in her right hand and gently fell down, surrounding the black piece, "I won."

Not only the old man, but even Mr. Xu Er and Song Si were unbelievable. They sat aside and didn't even see when Song Wanyue formed a siege.

"It's really wonderful."

The old man praised the remaining chess pieces in his hand into the chess box, "Why is my grandfather willing to accept the loss from the bet? Tell me, what conditions do you want to put forward?"

"I want to go home tomorrow."

When Song Wanyue finished speaking, the room was silent.

The smile on the old man's face faded away.

The emperor planned to ask the fourth prince to perform the apprenticeship ceremony on the eighth day of the first lunar month. This is a major event. He must be present at that time, but today is only the second day of the first lunar month, and there are still six days left before the eighth day of the first lunar month.

"I want to let the Gu family be buried earlier."

Song Wanyue said this, and the old man swallowed it back. The dead are the most important, but the Gu family members have no peace after their deaths, so they followed them to the capital. Now that things are happening, they should be buried in peace.

"Let your parents accompany you back. After the ceremony of apprenticeship, I will take Xu Liang over."

Song Wanyue shook her head, "You are old and only Xu Liang is with you. We are worried. Let my parents stay with you and go back together. I'll go back alone."

"no!"

The old man refused without thinking about it. How could he say that she was still a child? What should he do when he encountered danger on the road?

"I have sleeve arrows."

"That's not OK. Either let your parents go back with you, or we'll go back together after the eighth day of the lunar month."

"You just said that as long as I win, you will agree to me."

"I regret it now..." Lao Xian's attitude towards the whole world was firm, "Anyway, you can't go back alone."

"Big Brother."

Song Wanyue asked for help from Song Si.
