As soon as Xiang Fu finished speaking, the chess piece in Yan Jin's hand slipped from between his fingers and finally fell on the chess board with a crisp sound.
She suddenly felt a little flustered.
Yu Fang didn't like to interact with strangers, so after placing the tea, Yan Jin asked the little maids to wait outside the house.
As soon as Yu Fang left, only Yan Jin and Shen Yanshan were left.
She and Shen Yanshan have never avoided suspicion.
Yan Jin has long been accustomed to this way of getting along.
Just my father's side Yan Jin secretly sighed inwardly, but still pretended to be calm on the surface.
The next moment, the thick curtain was pulled up from outside the house, and Yan Jichang walked in.
During this period, the Ministry of Works was too busy with official duties, and Yan Jichang rarely returned to the mansion.
Of course, there are other reasons why he doesn't want to come back.
Yan Jichang never expected that he would receive a message from someone from the Xiao Yu family early this morning, saying that the eldest son of the Shen family had arrived at the Yan Mansion and had something to discuss with him.
At that time, after Lu Cun accidentally overheard, the look in his eyes was a bit solemn.
Lu Cun sighed and said softly, "What does he want to do again?
Didn't he say he was going back to the border?"
Yan Jichang had no choice but to remain silent after hearing this.
His mentor Lu Cun was a very kind person, but when it came to Shen Yanshan, Lu Cun rarely mentioned this child.
The Lu family and the Shen family have been on good terms for many years, and by the time of Dingguo Duke Shen Chengxiu's generation, the two families were even related by marriage.
Lu Cun is Shen Yanshan's grandfather, but during the years that Shen Yanshan was at the border, Lu Cun never took the initiative to contact this child.
It was as if he didn't know he existed.
The relationship between the Lu family and the Shen family seems to be strong, but in fact it is not as perfect as it seems.
It is said that Shen Chengxiu and Mrs.
Lu have become strangers to each other for a long time.
There are other reasons why they still maintain their relationship as husband and wife.
Although Yan Jichang understood, he often pretended to be confused about things that his mentor did not want to mention, and it was difficult for him to ask questions.
"That's all, you go back home first and take a look."
Lu Cun frowned, then shook his head, "Go early and come back early."
The Ministry of Industry is busy with affairs.
Lu Cun and several adults.
I haven’t been home for a long time.
Especially Lu Cun.
After winter, Lu Cun fell seriously ill.
As a result, he recovered from the serious illness and hurried back to the Ministry of Industry.
Start reviewing batch after batch of official documents.
Yan Jichang felt sorry for his mentor.
So I have been helping Lu Cun these days.
He nodded.
He turned around and put on a fox fur cloak and rushed home.
However, Yan Jichang never expected that Shen Yanshan was not in his father's study.
But in his daughter's yard.
Yan Jichang frowned and walked over in a hurry.
He remembered that when he first met Shen Yanshan, the child was still very young, and his immature face was full of indifference.
Shen Yanshan always hides in dark corners, like a hunting leopard, lurking silently.
When he saw the child, he knew that this boy would not be a simple person in the future.
As a result, it didn't take long for Shen Yanshan to be sent to the frontier by Duke Dingguo.
When I saw Shen Yanshan again, they returned from overseas together.

Heavy snow blocked the road, and his trip was delayed for a few days because of the heavy snow.
It just so happened that when Shen Yanshan returned from the border, he saw him off for a while.
At that time, Shen Yanshan's face was the same as before, cold and with a slight sense of alienation.
His words were direct and without any disguise.
Yan Jichang has been in the officialdom for so many years.
This is the first time he has seen such a person.
However, Yan Jichang has to admit that he does not feel too tired talking to Shen Yanshan.
That person was too ignorant of the world and spoke directly without leaving any room for change.
When Yan Jichang came back to his senses, he saw Yan Jin standing up from the stool.
She smiled calmly and said, "Dad, you are back."
"Yes."
Yan Ji nodded when he saw that his daughter didn't look embarrassed, then walked into the room and said softly to Shen Yanshan, "It's my fault that I didn't entertain the prince well today, isn't it?"
Shen Yanshan put the chess pieces in his hand back into the chess box, and said calmly, "Master Yan is out of sight.
It's my presumptuous visit to disturb you."
"How could it be possible?"
Yan Jichang looked at the chess game on the chessboard, and then looked slightly startled.
He has always believed that his chess skills are not bad, and over the years, he has never been defeated by anyone.
However, Yan Jichang regrets that his two daughters did not inherit his talents and were terrible at chess skills.
What a mess.
However, today's chess game is a bit strange.
Yan Jichang knows better than anyone what Yan Jin's chess skills are like.
However, the chess game in front of them is evenly matched.
It's more like a guided game of chess.
Yan Jichang secretly smacked his tongue.
When he and Yan Jin played chess, he would find it very difficult to guide chess.
But looking at Shen Yanshan, it looked like it was easy.
Yan Jichang has been studying chess for many years, and he suddenly felt like he had met his opponent.
Yan Jichang smiled and said, "I'll make the prince laugh.
My little girl's chess skills are not good.
Thank you prince.
I'm willing to guide her."
"Master Yan, you're welcome."
Shen Yanshan looked at the chess pieces on the chessboard, still expressionless, "If Master Yan doesn't mind, can you teach me a game?"
Shen Yanshan said what Yan Jichang wanted to say, and Yan Jichang naturally nodded immediately, then sat down and started playing chess with Shen Yanshan.
In the end, Shen Yanshan held the black piece, while Yan Jichang held the white piece.
Yan Jin looked at the scene in front of him, somewhat surprised.
The sun shines in through the carved window lattice, making the room bright.
Shen Yanshan concentrated on placing the chess pieces on the chessboard with an elegant and calm posture.
Although her father was gentle, his temperament was a little weird, especially his innate sense of alienation, which always kept people around him at a distance.
Therefore, my father did not have many friends around him over the years.
However, today, Shen Yanshan just said a few words casually, and her father sat down to play chess with Shen Yanshan.
Occasionally, he said a few words about the chess game that she did not understand.
It seemed that everything was harmonious.
Although her father liked playing chess, he rarely showed such an expression.
This scene made her think for a moment that he was in a dream.

Peaceful and peaceful.
Yan Jin narrowed his eyes slightly and couldn't help but glance at his father.
I saw that my father, who rarely smiled on weekdays, actually raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and then said softly, "Your Majesty, this step is indeed a wonderful one."
"This is a move I saw in the endgame of a chess book."
Shen Yanshan did not hide it.
"I will send someone to deliver it to Mr.
Yan another day."
Yan Jichang was slightly surprised when he heard this.
If a chess record is a unique copy, its price cannot be measured in gold or silver.
Moreover, although it was not the first time that he and Shen Yanshan met, they were not as close as before.
Yan Jichang raised his head and was about to decline when he heard an auspicious voice coming from outside the house.
Jixiang said outside the house, "My uncle is not good, there is a commotion over at Huilanzhai":
