fake prince

Chapter 30

Look at the near, travel far, wait for the boat to approach the painting, it is already night.

Looking closely, the painting boat is quite large, with carved beams and painted columns, and even the windows are all filled with expensive colored glaze. , You can also see the singer dancing.

"The host of the chess tournament is really rich and powerful." Su Ziji thought to himself, "Living on such a boat is better than staying in a classy inn."

Hurrying back to the cabin, I saw Ye Buhui lying on the table, already asleep, she was not yet 15 years old, and when she was sleepy, Su Ziji didn't laugh at her, but just tweeted: "No regrets, wake up!" Come, here we are."

Ye Buhui rubbed her eyes and straightened up, stayed for a moment before realizing that she had fallen asleep just now, she blinked, and her face turned red all of a sudden.

"Why didn't you call me earlier? What time is it?" She glared at Su Ziji and snorted.

"Don't worry, we came just in time. It is said that the organizers said that the days are short and the nights are long, so why not swim with candles. The ancients were good, so they played chess at night with candles."

"You can sign up now."

Su Ziji pulled her up and walked towards the deck. When Guo stood here and looked over, he saw several boats rowing towards the painting boat not far away.

There were a few servants standing on the boat, who had just lowered the ladder to pick up the chess players, and saw another boat coming, and Yu Lv who was awakened was also standing on the deck, yawning, and it was a little unclear who was going to compete.

One of the middle-aged men in gray robes cupped his hands: "Three, chess rules, chess players can only bring one unrelated person on board, I don't know which one is the chess player? Is there anyone traveling with you?"

"I'm a chess player, and he's my companion on the boat!" Ye Buhui answered bluntly, and pulled Su Ziji to his side.

It is not uncommon for women to participate in chess games. The middle-aged man just glanced at her, opened the roster in his hand, searched up and down, and asked after a while: "Miss Ye?"

"Exactly."

"That's right, please get on board." Saying that, a hanging ladder has been put down.

Su Ziji was afraid that Ye Buhui would be timid, so he was about to help her up, but unexpectedly, the girl climbed up quickly without any help, during the process, the ladder shook, which seemed a bit dangerous.

When she turned around, she stretched out her little hand proudly, and said with a smile, "Su Ziji, I'll pull you up!"

The villain's success was vividly interpreted by this girl, Su Ziji laughed, just grabbed it, and climbed up the painting boat even faster.

"Hmph!" Ye Buhui immediately withdrew his hand and snorted heavily.

Su Ziji felt that he had already gotten used to the dog-faced temper of his little aunt, so he was not angry, and he still had the leisure to shout to the people on the boat who were gradually drifting away: "Brother Yu, please come and pick us up tomorrow!"

Yu Lv waved his hand at him, his voice was a little indistinct, he was probably cheering Ye Buhui up and waiting for good grades.

"I am one of the stewards of Huafang. My surname is Hu. You can just call me Steward Hu." The middle-aged man who had spoken just now smiled and stood aside, and then he spoke again.

Su Ziji saw that although he was mediocre and middle-aged, his eyes were clear, and he couldn't help but look at it a few more times.

Manager Hu was leading the two into the cabin, his eyes fell on the distance, and he was stunned: "Hey, it's coming so soon..."

The latter words seemed to be scruples, and he swallowed them.

Su Ziji looked in the direction and saw a painting boat that was much smaller. The distance was neither too far nor too close. This painting boat looked familiar.

Just as she was thinking about it, she saw a servant girl on the deck of the painting boat, and soon a girl wrapped in a light green cloak came out of the cabin, combing her sideburns, embellished with emerald jade, standing in the wind under the moonlight, like a fairy.

Su Ziji was slightly taken aback: "It's her?"

"I saw her in the mist, she should be faster than us, but why did she fall behind, what is the principle?"

Su Ziji's eyes were real, and even though he was far away, the girl still looked at him with a frown, but when she saw Su Ziji standing on the boat participating in the chess competition looking at her, she was also stunned.

How can I always see this young man, so entangled with evil fate?

"Miss?" The servant girl reminded in a low voice.

Thinking of the third aunt's advice, the girl lowered her eyes: "Nothing, let's go back to the cabin to get ready, and then go to the boat to watch one by one."

Just went back straight away.

"Su Ziji, what are you looking at?" On the deck of the painting boat, Su Ziji, who was thinking about it, suddenly felt a pain in his waist. When he turned his head, he saw Ye Buhui questioningly looking at him. Twist.

"What are you looking at? Are you thinking of a bad idea? You laughed so strangely just now!" Although he didn't know who Su Ziji was looking at, Ye Buhui just got angry. ".

"I'm just thinking about something, but you, the competition is about to start, and you're not ready yet?" Su Ziji said half-truthfully.

Sure enough, the next moment I heard Ye Buhui hum: "You are allowed to see it, but I am not allowed to see it?"

Su Ziji smiled, and when he turned his head, he met Guanshi Hu's thoughtful gaze.

Manager Hu didn't realize that Su Ziji had turned around suddenly, so he hurriedly restrained his expression, turned back into a mediocre manager, and said with a smile: "You two, it's getting late. In this chess game, seven ships are divided into seven divisions. The lottery has been drawn in advance, and I will send you to the arena."

"What if someone is late?"

"The competition is divided into seven days. You can participate in the preliminary competition in the first four days, and one competition a day for the next two games. There will be a big banquet on the last day. If you are late for the first four days, you will not be able to participate in the competition."

Manager Hu said with a smile: "You come early, after the preliminary competition, you can have more fun in the painting workshop. There are running seats at noon and evening, and it's free."

If you want to eat a big meal, you have to order it yourself, Su Ziji nodded repeatedly, these seven painting boats have dozens of rooms, large and small, if no one leads them, it is easy to go to the wrong place.

"It's time for Laohu to take care of things."

It's just that on the way, Manager Hu made indirect remarks, and seemed to be more interested in Su Ziji, the accompanying person. Su Ziji gradually became suspicious, and he only smiled perfunctorily.

Ye Buhui was not stupid, and soon realized that Guanshi Hu's attitude was wrong, so he simply pulled Su Ziji to talk, seeing her like this, Guanshi Hu didn't ask any more questions, and took her to a rather large cabin, and left first.

"This place is very big." Ye Buhui entered and said in a low voice.

"It's very big!" The cabin is [-] square meters, it should be the largest part of the boat, there are dozens of people inside, apart from obviously chess players or accompanying spectators, there are also servants wearing uniform uniforms, it should be a chess match The person who organized the party.

Anyone who needs refreshments can be said, Su Ziji saw a plainly dressed student talking to one of the servants.

"Please show your number, both of you." A young man greeted him and said.

Ye Buhui showed it and followed to the location, attracting many people's attention.

At first, Su Ziji was regarded as a chess player, but it was not until he sat down on the field that he realized that the contestant was this young girl who hadn't reached the level yet!

Immediately, several people showed disdain. Although they didn't speak, they obviously looked down upon Ye Buhui because of his age and gender.

This is also human nature, even with Ye Buhui's temper, he held back and didn't get angry, just glanced at him bitterly.

Hmph, if you meet me later, I will kill every single one of you!

First of all, a young gentleman came over. Although his appearance was mediocre, he was upright and his eyes were clear. He saluted Ye Buhui and Su Ziji and said, "I've met you two! Since we are sitting next to each other, why not just wait and see?" Sai, why don't you talk first?"

"I'm not Su Ziji, but my sister's surname is Ye." Su Ziji made a bow: "Since Brother Zhang said so, it is naturally very good."

Zhang Modong was quite famous among these people, when he came, several people nearby also came over, greeted Su Ziji and Ye Buhui, and chatted casually.

Through chatting, Su Ziji learned that among the dozens of people present, only a dozen were chess players, and the others were all accompanying them to watch the game.

And Zhang Modong is not only a chess player, but also a scholar, no wonder he is sought after.

Although many chess players are scholars, some are children who have been unable to pass the exam for a long time, and some are not even children, and they are engaged in other jobs.

Only Zhang Modong was young and had a good family background. It was only natural that such a person would be sought after.

"Brother Su is here to participate in the government examination? With Brother Su's talent, he will definitely be admitted as a scholar this time." Knowing that Su Ziji was only 15 years old, he won the Tongsheng, Zhang Modong looked differently, and his attitude was a little better.

"Huh, I'm showing off again." Ye Buhui became the background, Su Ziji took over the scenery, snorted coldly, but frowned again, and realized carefully that he didn't seem to be too angry in his heart, and gave birth to something A faint pride that made her even unexpected.

It is the same hatred, so it is unanimous to the outside world?

She was still thinking that some people saw that Zhang Modong treated Su Ziji and Ye Buhui quite politely, they were a little puzzled, and even more annoyed.

One of them learned that Su Ziji was a child student, and he came to Fucheng to accompany his sister to participate in the chess game and take the exam at the same time. He couldn't help leaning over and said "faithful advice": "On the eve of the government exam, you still accompany my sister to the chess game? It's not good to be distracted like this." , young people have to concentrate."

Su Ziji glanced at it, and said lightly: "The chess game comes first, and the government test comes later, so there is not much distraction."

The other party refused to let go: "It didn't take long. Linhua County is not a major county for imperial examinations. Since you are a child student, if you don't work hard to get a scholar, how can you be worthy of the gentleman of the county school?"

"Your Excellency is actually a scholar? Disrespect, disrespect." Su Ziji said suddenly.

"Why did you say that?" The other party choked, "I'm not a scholar."

Of course Su Ziji knew that this person was not a scholar. After all, he chatted with him just now, and he knew that among these people, only Zhang Modong was a scholar.

Su Ziji deliberately flattered the other party first, and then replied: "Since this is the case, your Excellency should take the exam. If you have time to take care of my affairs, why don't you go and study more by yourself. You must know that strict self-discipline and lenient treatment of others is what a gentleman should do. "

The other party was stunned for a moment before realizing Su Ziji's meaning, blushed immediately, and stretched out his finger: "You!"

As a result, he said "you" several times, but he didn't think of any words to refute, so he flicked his sleeves and left directly.

Su Ziji didn't take a look, why bother, such a stupid person, if he said one more word, his wisdom might be demolished.

Just when Su Ziji picked up the teacup and was about to take a sip, a young girl's chuckle suddenly sounded in his ear, and he paused with his hand, but when he listened again, the sound was gone.

Looking around, everyone in the cabin had a natural expression, as if they heard laughter.
