Chapter 167 Framed: Roll Down the Stairs (1)
"Well, let the heart-warming girl take you there in the afternoon!" Mrs. Jun suggested.
"Okay, anyway, I have nothing to do this afternoon." Before Tang Shishi could agree, Jun Nuanxin immediately opened her mouth and agreed for her.
Tang Shishi gave Jun Nuan a sideways look: Xiao Mian, you are more impatient than me!
"Then it's settled. It just so happens that the heart-warming girl is also studying. The Bai family will definitely post a post for you." Seeing that Tang Shishi had no objection, Mr. Jun said.
"Well, I got it." Jun Nuanxin felt a little weak when she heard Mr. Jun's words, she wanted to participate too!
The matter of the Go tournament was finalized like this.In the afternoon, Jun Nuanxin drove Tang Shishi to Ling's mansion. Before leaving, Mr. Jun told her again with worry that if the Ling family bullied them without knowing what to do, they should call quickly. kill the past.
Tang Shishi smiled and nodded in agreement, Jun Nuanxin finally said impatiently: "Grandpa, you can really think!"
Mr. Jun glared at Jun Nuanxin angrily, and said nothing more in anger.In fact, he also knew that old man Ling would not let Tang Shishi suffer, so he was worried that Lin Meijuan would do something wrong again!
Old Master Ling received the news early in the morning that he was overjoyed to hear that Tang Shishi was coming, so he asked Geng Changsheng to bring out the meeting gifts he had prepared these days, and then changed into decent clothes, which were solemn but not grand. It was difficult for people to get close, and in the end, he kept pacing back and forth in the living room, looking out of the gate from time to time, and asked Geng Changsheng to look at the front door several times!
Mrs. Ling's tossing made the whole family nervous. Lin Meijuan couldn't stand Mrs. Ling's flattering face, so she hid in her room angrily, not going to come out, out of sight and out of mind.
As for Ling Weiguo, it was the exact opposite of Old Master Ling's performance. He concentrated on carving small wooden statues in the living room, using the materials Tang Shishi gave her.
"Changsheng, why don't you come here? You call again!" Old Master Ling said impatiently.
"Dad, didn't you just call and say you're on the way? Don't rush, and don't wander around anymore, it makes me dizzy." Ling Weiguo said after taking a look at the restless Old Master Ling.
"Could it be that something happened on the road that delayed it?" Geng Changsheng guessed, "It may also be a traffic jam."
In fact, the distance between the military compound and Ling's house is a bit far, so it's normal that we didn't arrive this time.
"Maybe it's a traffic jam!" Old Master Ling also felt that his behavior was too out of character, so he sat on the sofa in the living room and said loudly.
After waiting for a while, just when Old Master Ling was about to lose his temper, he heard news from the front door that the car was about to enter the yard.
Old Master Ling stood up excitedly, raised his legs and walked a few steps towards the door, but stopped abruptly, turned cold, and walked towards the study.
Geng Changsheng and Ling Weiguo were confused by the sudden change of Mrs. Ling, and they looked at each other with puzzled faces.
Isn't this just waiting for people to come?Why did this person come and put on such a face again?
Sensing the confusion between Geng Changsheng and Ling Weiguo, Old Master Ling snorted coldly, and said in a pretentious manner: "How can there be any reason for the elders to welcome you personally? That girl is here, let her come to the study to find me!"
Geng Changsheng and Ling Weiguo held back their laughter. It turned out that this old man still couldn't save his face! This is it!
Tang Shishi and Jun Nuanxin got off the car, and Geng Changsheng was already at the door to greet them, and brought them into the house, Tang Shishi greeted Ling Weiguo.
"Uncle." Although there was a lot of trouble at the gate of the Military Medical General Hospital a few days ago, it is still a little awkward to see Ling Weiguo now, but Tang Shishi still has a good impression of Ling Weiguo and respects him very much.
"Shishi, come and take a look. This is the set of engraving tools you gave me last time. I have already carved two of them." Ling Weiguo looked at Tang Shishi and said eagerly, and put the two pieces he had carved One was shown to Tang Shishi, a little monkey, and a q-version portrait of the little seventh-rank sesame official.
Looking at Ling Weiguo's works, Tang Shishi found that Ling Weiguo's techniques were indeed a little rusty, and the carved things were rough, but the eyebrows and eyes were well-crafted and looked vivid, especially the q version of the seventh-grade sesame Guan, with curved eyebrows and smiling eyes, is quite cute.
"Very good." Tang Shishi said pertinently.
Ling Weiguo watched and listened to Tang Shishi's words, and the lines on his face softened a lot.This child is not one of those flattering people, he is very down-to-earth, and he has a good temperament.
The two chatted in the living room for a while, Jun Nuanxin sat down to drink tea, watched Tang Shishi chatting with Ling Weiguo, but found no sign of Mrs. Ling, and felt strange.
"Ahem!" Old Master Ling's voice came from the study upstairs, very loud.
Both Tang Shishi and Jun Nuanxin moved their gazes curiously to the half-closed door upstairs, where the voice just now came from.
The expression on Ling Weiguo's face was a bit embarrassing, Geng Changsheng came over and said to Tang Shishi: "Young Madam, the old lady is waiting for you in the upper study."
"Oh, uncle, then I'll go upstairs first." Tang Shishi greeted Ling Weiguo politely, then signaled Jun Nuanxin to wait for her for a while, then followed Geng Changsheng upstairs to the study.
Geng Changsheng knocked on the door, and heard Mrs. Ling say in a muffled voice, "Come in!"
Geng Changsheng pushed open the door and signaled Tang Shishi to go in. After Tang Shishi entered, Geng Changsheng gently closed the door of the study.
Tang Shishi recalled when she was in Jun's house, when she entered Mr. Jun's study, she couldn't help sighing, there are so many rules in this Ling's house!
When Tang Shishi went in, she saw Mrs. Ling half lying on the teacher's chair. She didn't know whether he was closing his eyes to rest or was angry. When he said that the sound came in, Tang Shishi could hear that there was anger in his tone.
"Grandpa Ling!" Tang Shishi called out lightly, her attitude was neither warm nor alienated, so light that people couldn't hear her emotions.
Old Master Ling opened his eyes upon hearing the sound, glanced at Tang Shishi, and said dissatisfiedly, "Finally willing to come?!"
Tang Shishi suddenly didn't know how to answer the conversation. She didn't like to come to Ling's house, and now that she came, she didn't want to make excuses in front of Mrs. Ling, so she simply didn't speak.
"Hmph! I haven't learned anything else from Kid Rui, but I've learned [-]% of the ability to make people so angry that they don't pay for their lives!" Seeing that Tang Shishi didn't speak, Mrs. Ling didn't know whether to be relieved or angry, this girl Can't you just say a few soft words, give yourself a step down, and coax yourself?
Tang Shishi looked at the old man Ling with a serious face on purpose, and his beard was up and down when he spoke, which was quite amusing. She felt that the old man was not as hateful as when they first met, and he didn't think he was as bad as the rumors said. It's scary, and I feel much more comfortable than when I entered Ling's house for the first time.
"Are you dumb? Why don't you talk?" Seeing that Tang Shishi kept silent, Mrs. Ling felt a little anxious.
Could it be that he acted too harshly and frightened her? Looking at her expression, it doesn't look like it!
He didn't forget Tang Shishi's domineering and fearless appearance when she came to Ling's house for the first time!
Could it be that this girl is still angry with herself?
Or did Tang Guoduan tell her something?
Old Master Ling was not sure about Tang Shishi's temperament, so many thoughts popped up in his mind, especially the last one, which shocked his heart. Looking at Tang Shishi, his eyes became much more complicated.
"What do you want me to say? It's better to just stand and listen to you, and I'll leave!" Tang Shishi looked at Old Master Ling and said amusedly.
"You can say whatever you want, and I haven't restricted your freedom of speech!" Old Master Ling said after listening to Tang Shishi finally willing to talk to him, straightened up from his chair.
"I have nothing to say." Tang Shishi said lightly again.
Old Mrs. Ling was so angry that she almost fell back again.
"Are you always like this with old man Jun and have nothing to say?" Mrs. Ling asked sourly.
"Of course not. Grandpa Jun is very kind and talkative. There are many topics between us." Tang Shishi said truthfully.
"Hmph! He just knows how to flatter horses!" Old Master Ling said with gusto.
"Grandpa Jun is a very upright person." Tang Shishi looked at Mrs. Ling with displeasure on her face.
"You mean to say that I'm old and cunning?" Mrs. Ling became upset.
"You said it yourself, I didn't say it." Tang Shishi secretly laughed in her heart. Does this person always have such a childlike temperament when he is old, and he loves to compare.
"You—" Old Master Ling realized that he had gotten himself involved, and couldn't help cursing angrily, "Damn girl!" His tone was no longer awkward as before, but rather intimate.
"Smelly old man!" Tang Shishi replied unceremoniously.
"You dare to scold me?! It's not big or small!" Old Master Ling narrowed his eyes and raised his eyebrows, with a dangerous expression on his face.
"You scolded me first!" Tang Shishi pointed it out lightly, and said, "When I was going out, Grandpa Jun said that I can't suffer from you!"
"Hmph! Just listen to what he says! You all turn to him!" Old Master Ling said bitterly, with a very unfair tone.
"For my own good, I will listen." Tang Shishi stood a little tired, and walked to a soft chair in front of the desk and sat down, feeling much more comfortable.
Mrs. Ling's study room is completely different from Mr. Jun's layout. Mr. Jun's study room gives people a solemn feeling, while Mr. Ling's study room makes people feel comfortable and relaxed and want to sleep.
Tang Shishi raised her eyes to see the big tumbler on the desk, stretched out her hand and pushed it, seeing how he was swaying, she felt better again.
Old Master Ling had no objection to Tang Shishi sitting down by herself. In fact, it was quite laborious for him to talk to Tang Shishi just now with his neck raised.
"What do you think of this Go tournament?" Feeling embarrassed, Mrs. Ling brought the topic on the right track.
"Boring!" Tang Shishi replied simply.
"Are you sure you will win?" Old Master Ling frowned because of the disdain in Tang Shishi's tone, and then asked.
"There is no competition, how do I know?" Tang Shishi felt that such a topic was uninspiring, so she couldn't help but really yawned a little.
This is very impolite, Tang Shishi is naturally aware of this, and hastily covered her mouth.
Seeing Tang Shishi's appearance, Old Master Ling asked with concern, "Didn't you rest well? Did Old Man Jun order you to work?"
"No!" Seeing that Mrs. Ling didn't scold herself, Tang Shishi put down her hands and said.
"Hmph! This old man Jun, if you let me know that he treats you harshly—huh!" Old Master Ling didn't say the result, but used a displeased cold snort, covering thousands of words.
"Grandpa Jun can't!" Tang Shishi couldn't help defending Grandpa Jun, thinking to herself, you are the fiercer one!
"What do you know! You know people, you know the face, but you don't know the heart!" Old Master Ling scolded Tang Shishi displeasedly when he saw Tang Shishi turned to Mr. Jun again.
Tang Shishi simply stopped talking. If this kind of quarrel continued, there would be no results for a few days and nights. She would not do such time-wasting and meaningless things.
"From now on, I will send a driver to pick you up every afternoon, and you come to play chess with me!" Seeing that Tang Shishi didn't speak, Old Master Ling said on his own initiative.
"Every day? I don't want it! How can I have so much time to do these boring things?" Tang Shishi immediately refused when she heard Old Master Ling's words.
"We can't lose this competition!" Grandpa Ling said angrily regardless of Tang Shishi's objection!
"Then you don't need to come every day, do you?" Of course Tang Shishi didn't want to lose, but she didn't play chess with Mrs. Ling every day, so she felt that it was really unnecessary.
What's more, she really can't compliment Old Master Ling's chess skills!
"Young people, guard against arrogance and impetuosity!" Old Master Ling saw through Tang Shishi's thoughts, and a trace of embarrassment flashed across his old face, but in order to achieve his goal, he still behaved solemnly and said with a serious attitude: "I Although your chess skills are not as good as yours, I have fought against the girl of the Bai family many times, so I still have some understanding of her moves."
Tang Shishi looked at Mrs. Ling with a strict face, so she nodded.
In fact, Tang Shishi didn't have much reluctance. What old lady Ling said was not unreasonable. She must win the match with Baimo!Whether it's for himself, for Jun Nuanxin, or for the face of the Jun family and Ling family!Her goal is not to be the champion, but to defeat Baimo!
Seeing Tang Shishi nodding, Mrs. Ling felt complete.A big stone that had been pressed in his heart for many days was removed, and he felt indescribably relieved.
