The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 736

Chapter 736: 341 Talent (Sixth Watch)_2

This innate talent was quite terrifying.

The old beggar asked again, "Have you ever played against a chess master?"

Gu Jiao thought for a moment, "Hmm... I guess I have?"

Her godfather should count as a master, she’s never beaten him after all.

The old beggar secretly breathed a sigh of relief, she had practice against a chess master, but if her skill was cultivated solely by playing against herself, that’s quite frightening.

However, even with experience playing against a master, discerning such skills wasn’t simple.

What a gifted child.

The old beggar looked at Gu Jiao appreciatively and was about to ask her name and where she lived when Gu Jiao beat him to it. "You said that if we tie, it counts as your loss. The silver!"

The corner of the old beggar’s mouth twitched.

Could she not break the atmosphere at such critical moments?

The old beggar, with a sullen face, took out several broken silver pieces from his crumpled money bag. The total was nearly ten taels. This was all he owned.

He thrust it toward Gu Jiao, "Take it! Take it! Take it all!"

Gu Jiao counted it and weighed it, then picked out the smallest piece and returned it to him, "I told you I wanted exactly ten taels."

No deception between the old and young!

With the silver in hand, Gu Jiao stood up and left.

The old beggar shouted to stop her, "Hey! Wait! You haven’t told me your name! Are you coming back tomorrow?"

Gu Jiao had already walked far away.

"Ten taels for each game!"

Gu Jiao came back.

The old beggar: "..."

...

Gu Jiao returned to the medical hall and changed her clothes.

Little monk Minmin ran into her courtyard, "Jiaojiao, Jiaojiao!"

He had been running so fast that he’d fallen over again.

Fortunately, Minmin’s reputation for taking a tumble was well deserved, he held his head and rolled across half of the courtyard, like a small winter melon, until he reached the steps in front of the house.

Gu Jiao looked at him... at the non-existent wounds, washed his face and hands, "Alright, I’ll rub it for you." _{free𝑤ebnovel.com}
