    Wen Wan walked all the way and looked at the scenery of the Duke's mansion. Although it was not as exquisite as the one in Prince Zhao's mansion, it was still pleasing to the eye.  I admired in my heart.  This is the real family.  It seems simple, but in fact, if you look carefully, it requires extremely deep knowledge to do it.  Although the mansion of Duke Pingguo is as famous as him, the Ping family has abandoned what they depend on for survival.  The Taira family made their fortune through military exploits, but now they want to take the path of being a scholar. How could they not be defeated and end up in their current situation?  The Zhenguo Duke's mansion has always maintained their original features.

    However, Wen Wan suddenly thought of a question and looked stern.  Why are the people of the Taira family incompetent and the people of the Luo family lustful? Both the Duke's houses have enough shortcomings.  What's even more strange is that for so many years, the two families have not had anyone outstanding enough to take the lead.  When she looked at the people of the Heng family in the past, she didn't think much about it, thinking that the old lady had taught her son bad things and ruined the atmosphere of the Heng family.  But looking at the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion, why didn't such a family produce any outstanding talents?  The things here are worthy of discussion.  Thinking back to what King Chun did sometimes, Wen Wan no longer thinks about it.

    Of course, these are not things she should consider yet.  What she should consider now is how she can have enough foundation. Only by having her own power can she protect herself, not be threatened by anyone, and not live by the looks of others.

    Luo Shouxun led Wen Wan and Yan Qixuan to the main courtyard, where they saw a middle-aged man with a sturdy build and a strong back.  With that appearance, Luo Shouxun is 50% or 60% similar.  It seems that this is the Duke Zhenguo whom Wen Wan has only heard of for so many years but never seen in person.

    The man saw a group of people.  stood up.  He smiled very kindly at the three people who came in.  Just like the uncle next door, he makes people feel friendly.

    Wen Wan looked at the man who looked 60% like Luo Shouxun.  The appearance of Duke Zhen Guo was completely beyond Wen Wan's expectations.  This is not the domineering person Wen Wan thought, nor is he someone who looks wily and cunning.  At first glance, you would think he was a harmless old man.

    The first impression that Duke Zhen Guo gave Wen Wan was that this person was definitely not a simple person.  Although he looks ordinary on the outside, he doesn't appear to be shrewd.  He seems to be a steady but not boring person, natural and not artificial or ostentatious, and you can even feel his cordial inquiries all the time.  But the more people like this.  The more careful you have to be.  I can live well until now under the hands of people like Xian Fei, Mr. Luo Liu.  It proves this person's secretiveness.

    Wenwan looked at Zhen Guogong and knew that she still had a lot to learn.  What she has learned now is only superficial.  And people like Zhen Guogong are the real masters.

    The Duke of Zhen looked at Wen Wan and Yan Qixuan who walked in.  Smiling very kindly, "I didn't expect, I really didn't expect Mr. Jiang to come here. I thought it was my Shouxun who coaxed me?"

    Luo Shouxun felt very embarrassed and muttered, "Dad. When did I lie to you?"

    The Duke of Zhen Guo seemed to be in a very good mood.  He smiled cheerfully and said, "I haven't lied to you. I haven't lied to you. It's just that I heard that Young Master Jiang has been in Prince Chun's Mansion all this time. I didn't believe it when I heard this kid from my family say that you would come to my house as a guest."  That's all. Mr. Jiang, I'm good at chess. I don't know if I can play a game with Mr. Jiang. Of course, if Mr. Jiang is not in the mood now, I will force him to do it again.  ¡±

    Wen Wan saw that Duke Zhen Guo had no airs in front of his son.  He can be so easy-going in front of these children.  Regardless of the nature, this attitude is very rare in this era.  In this era, everyone pays attention to respecting the father, and fathers always have a straight face.  In front of his son, he is like the King of Hell.  This poor kid Luo Shouxun is really lucky.  I have such a good father.  It is a very happy thing.

    Wen Wan nodded with a smile, saying that it was okay.  It's just a random game of chess.  For her, it was just a pastime.  Now that I'm here, I have to give the owner this face.  Moreover, Wen Wan also wanted to play two games with him.  In this way, at least I feel a little confident.

    When the Duke of Zhen Guo heard that Wen Wan agreed to play chess with him, he was overjoyed and immediately called his servants to bring the chess board.  Since that day's competition, the young chess king has been hiding in the palace and not going out.  He knew this.  Before, when his son said that he could invite Mr. Fuxi to his home, he was still half-convinced.  I didn't expect it, but it's true.  Now, I can also get addicted to handwriting.

    ¡°The study room.¡± He said with a gentle smile, ¡°Study.¡± In other words, he did not plan to get off in the living room, but to a quieter place where no one would be noisy.

    The Duke of Zhen naturally agreed to all the requests.

    Wen Wan entered the study of Duke Zhen Guo.  There is very little furniture inside, except for a large desk and bookshelf, and a round ebony table with six chairs around the table.  There are no other objects placed in the room. It seemsVery wide.

    Wenwan glanced at Zhen Guogong¡¯s desk and bookshelf.  There are ink, inkstones, paper, pens, etc. on the desk.  The square ink is finely made, and the whole body is lacquered. It is dark and shiny, giving it a very luxurious air.  Duan inkstone is engraved upside down, extremely solemn and solemn.  These things were okay, but the only thing that caught Wen Wan's eye was the hanging rhinoceros-heart-shaped writing brush.

    This pen is decorated with corresponding heart-shaped patterns from top to bottom on the pen cover, and the curly grass pattern is used as a protruding joint at the grip of the pen. It feels comfortable in the hand, coherent and orderly, and completed in one go, without any sense of being abrupt and far-fetched.  This pen is about 20 centimeters long. It is made of black paint as the topcoat and two lines of red paint in the middle. The color is stable and deep. It is smooth and smooth with a knife, and it is polished smoothly and precisely.  Lacquered vessels often crack due to the difference in shrinkage between the body and the surface of the vessel. However, this pen does not suffer from cracking, making it particularly rare.

    What Wenwan has always advocated is low-key luxury.  Although there are no valuable antique calligraphy and paintings placed in Zhen Guogong's study, such a random brush fully reveals the charm of a century-old family.  No one who comes here would call it shabby or shabby.  On the contrary, you will think that you have feasted your eyes and increased your knowledge.

    Looking at the bookshelf again, in addition to books on the art of war, there are also practical books such as history books.  Wen Wan smiled and said nothing.

    After the Duke of Zhen saw Wen Wan come in, although he didn't show it on his face, the Duke of Zhen could tell that Wen Wan was looking at the layout of the room.  There was scrutiny and consideration in those eyes, and more importantly, admiration.

    Duke Zhenguo smiled and said, "Master Jiang, like this rhinoceros heart-patterned brush? If Master Jiang doesn't mind that I have used this brush, please accept it."

    Wen Wan shook her head and said, "A gentleman never takes what others like." Looking at it hanging on the pen holder, it must be something that is often used.  Since it can be used frequently, it must be something that is handy and something that I like.

    The servant brought the chessboard.  Wen Wan sat down with Duke Zhen and started playing chess.  After a while, Wen Wan nodded secretly in her heart.  Duke Zhen Guo plays chess very steadily and is good at layout.

    If nothing else, just this calm chess game shows that Duke Zhen Guo is a person who puts stability first.  It seems that as the old saying goes, the true meaning can be seen in chess, but playing chess can reveal the true nature of a person.  This Duke of Zhen was more calm than he thought.

    Luo Shouxun and Yan Qixuan were also watching without making a sound.

    After nearly an hour, Duke Zhen Guo saw that Wen Wan had wrapped him around him.  At this time, Wen Wan was holding a white piece in his hand. As long as he put down the piece, winning or losing would be determined.

    Duke Zhen Guo praised, "Young Master Jiang is indeed a peerless genius who is rarely seen in his lifetime. I lost." The person in front of him was tied with Hai Lao.  There is no shame in losing.

    Wen Wan looked at the white chess piece in her hand and found that it had not fallen.  And he smiled and said, "My lord, I will keep this chess piece as a souvenir for me. I don't know if my lord can agree to this request of this junior."

    The Duke of Zhenguo looked at Wen Wan strangely, "If Nephew Jiang likes it, I can give this chess set to Nephew Jiang." After a game of chess, Master Fu Xi suddenly became his nephew.  And Wen Wan had no objection to this title.

    Wen Wan smiled and shook her head: "I only want this chess piece. I wonder if the Duke is willing to part with it?" Wen Wan didn't want to complete the chess piece.  She just wanted to take away this chess piece.

    Luo Shouxun looked at Wen Wan's expression.  He didn't know what Fu Xi was doing with this chess piece.  But I know that Fu Xi has always been a weirdo.  He said just one.  Keep the rest and give them to him when he wants them. "Dad, since Fu Xi said so, I'll do this. Dad, it's almost noon now. I took Fu Xi to my yard to take a look.  Look, come over for lunch."

    The Duke of Zhen Guo smiled and nodded, "Go ahead. I have already ordered people to eat in the main courtyard at noon." In the Duke of Zhen Guo's Mansion, although there are also some kinds of filthiness.  But he is still the one in charge.

    Luo Shouxun nodded and said, "I understand, dad. After I took Fu Xi over to have a look, I brought Fu Xi over for lunch.

    After the group left, Duke Zhen Guo looked at the unfinished chess game.  He called someone in and asked, "Tell me, what does Jiang Shouwang mean? I don't quite understand?"

    The person who came was an old man with a gray beard.  Looking at the chessboard, he shook his head, "The Duke of Guo has been playing chess with this person for so long. What can you tell? Is it true that he is a very wealthy person as the rumors say?"

    The Duke of Zhen nodded, "He has a lot of talent inside, he is thoughtful, and he is determined and motivated. He is a rare talent. I would like to recruit such a person. But now the rumors outside, I think there is a 10% chance that they are true."  . Since he is the illegitimate son of Prince Chun, how could he be recruited and used by me? However, what makes me strange is that he seems to have been secretly sizing up my plans.  Yes, what did he do with a chess piece?"

      This point made him unable to figure it out.  (To be continued)
