Chang'an is good

"What is taught in the Imperial College is better than nothing." The girl's tone was very casual.

"In the Imperial College, there are professors of rites, music, poetry, calligraphy, painting, chess, riding and archery—" Song Xian's eyes seemed to see through the girl's intentions: "Is Mrs. Chang trying to compare calligraphy and painting?"

After all, the most admirable thing about this girl from the Chang family is the picture of a tiger walking in the mountains and forests.

Although he has not seen it yet, he also knows that she has some abilities in calligraphy and painting, but if she wants to compare with this, he will not be afraid.

After all, what is best for women is different from what is best for men.

Song Xian looked calm.

But the girl shook her head.

"It's not more than calligraphy and painting." She said unexpectedly: "It's also not more than riding and archery. I am very good at and talented in both. Even if I win, I won't feel guilty."

She looked like she "doesn't want to use her talent to bully others".

Song Xian almost sneered after being startled.

"At that time, we will have four of us to stabilize the situation!"

Seeing the closed door, he affirmed it again: "It's worthy of the demeanor of the nobles. When you are so angry, you still don't forget to close the door."

Since he agreed to compete with the opponent, he has no reason to shrink back.

Did she really think that she had made a painting and received a lot of recognition and praise, so that she could look down on Song Juren, who was most favored by Chunwei in the coming year?

But Ya Le heard about it back and forth, but playing chess with others is something new.

Watching those people leave, Yuan Xiang couldn't help feeling: "This is rejuvenation, everyone is angry like a grandson..."

The chessboard is also a world. It is not only the skill that is tested, but also the mind, thinking, decision-making and vision of the chess player.

But there was no contempt in the girl's eyes.

Cui Jing still didn't look back, and his words were cold and forceful: "Besides, Xuan Ce Army is not owned by Cui Jing, but was created by His Highness the former Crown Prince. Cui Jing will never agree to any move that uses this as a knife to shake the stability of the country."

Someone stood up and pointed angrily at the young man's back: "You are in vain as the eldest grandson of the Cui family...you don't care about the prosperity and decline of the whole family!"

Cui Jing was unmoved: "The rise and fall of the gentry cannot be reversed by me alone. If you really want to survive, it is not the most difficult thing. The unsolvable thing is that what you want is not only for survival—"

"Then Song Juren may soon have a teacher." The girl looked at him and said, "If you lose, you can ask me to be your teacher, how about it?"

There was a sudden noise all around.

As the news spread in the music hall, more and more onlookers came here.

Frankly speaking, he didn't think such a flamboyant young girl could understand this.

Song Xian looked at her.

Why did the master suppress both himself and the Juju club?He didn't want to lose his home in the Imperial College!
Chang Suining disagrees: "Without betting, it's neither painful nor risky, what's the fun in it?"

Although playing chess is more gentlemanly than musical instruments, but unlike many musical instruments, learning chess only requires a chess record, a chessboard, and a brain willing to study - his family is not rich, and apart from reading since childhood, He almost always plays chess, which is one of the few elegant hobbies that can improve his self-cultivation temperament without spending too much.

"You can go out of this gate and enter the palace, and tell us what we have said today, so that you can make more contributions!"

Cui Jing's expression was calm: "You have lived in the capital for a long time, and your eyes are only in the court hall. You can see that the overall situation of the world has changed a lot. Do the so-called four families still have the power to calm the chaos after the chaos? , you should be clear."

"Dalang, you... hey!"

Is this exposing scars and showing off that you have worshiped Qiao Jijiu as your teacher?

The faces of those people changed for a while: "That's precisely because of the suppression after the discovery, as long as the removal of the disclosure, everything will be the same..."

While everyone was thinking about it, they saw the girl raised her hand and pointed to the stone table beside her: "Why don't you play chess?"

He has always liked rhythm and music, and he would come here to sit for half a day every ten days.

So he raised his hand: "Miss Chang please first."

But Heizi did not gain the upper hand as everyone expected.

"Brother Song, don't bother with such absurd proposals."

In this situation and the situation, the two sides are humble and show off their demeanor to each other. At first glance, they really have the demeanor of literati.

The chessboard was quickly set up, and Song Xian had already sat down.

"No, so what?"

No matter how absurd it is, it can't be true anyway, so it can only let the other party show off their prestige verbally.

He didn't mean to bully her. After winning, he would admit that he was invincible in winning her a woman. He would not really force her to fulfill the bet just now, whether it was leaving the Imperial College or disbanding Wuershe.

With more and more onlookers, Song Xian gradually began to feel uneasy.

With a soft "click", the chess game is a square, and the chess pieces are round. Between the square and the circle, a world is opened by the girl's white pieces.

As he spoke, he walked behind the young man and reminded him, "General Governor, everyone is done walking, you should go back and sit down."

This chess game has become a battlefield.

"What is that better than?"

"...Is Chief Cui actually listening to us?"

There was a suppressed voice of dissatisfaction in the elegant room.

After all was quiet, everyone in the Xunmei Club changed their faces.

"Who is playing chess with whom?"

The members of the poetry club behind him or the literati who came to participate in the poetry meeting also looked at each other in blank dismay, and someone in the crowd sneered instead of Song Xian.

He has nothing to bet on.

Facing the girl's words, at this time, it would be inferior to sarcasm, so Song Xian said sternly: "Okay, since that's the case, then it's no better than poetry."

It's just based on the original relationship, what's there to show off?
Song Xianwei straightened the corners of his mouth: "What does Mrs. Chang want to say?"

"you……"

Someone in the Xunmei Club who knew Song Xian's chess skills let out a sneer.

Chang Suining was not polite to him, he raised his hand to take the white piece.

He will never be a knife.

But the sense of tension between the two parties is still tense.

Song Xian was noncommittal about this, and only asked Chang Suining: "Then what if Song loses?"

Song Xian's whole body silently rose to alert: "What kind of bet does Mrs. Chang want—"

Woo...he suddenly understood how A Niang felt when she saw him in the past!
"Master..."

He's not the aggressive type.

Cui Jing had already changed into his regular clothes, and he was standing in front of the window, without turning his head, he just said: "Cui Jing has just made it very clear, what you say, Cui Jing is hard to obey."

"That Song Xian and Song Juren... and a girl!"

Not only Song Xian and others were surprised by this, Cui Lang and others were also shocked.

"The Empress Dowager of the Ming Dynasty took power, and in order to eradicate dissidents, he willfully carried out the act of killing and relegating. If things go on like this, the Cui family will also be in danger..."

No more pretending to look out the window.

"Since you hold the military power of Xuan Ce's army, and the defense of the capital is under control... If you act as a military remonstrance and force the empress of the Ming Dynasty to return the power to the crown prince, you can restore the Qingming and stability of the country and the court!"

The sound of flicking sleeves and the sound of pushing the door to leave sounded one after another.

There is nothing valuable on him... Could it be that the other party wants to use this to humiliate him in public?
But I heard the girl say: "Win or lose shall prevail. If I lose, I will never set foot in Guozijian again, and Wuershe will be disbanded."

"According to this, Song Juren never really worshiped anyone as his teacher, and there is no teacher, right?"

This little girl is not very old, but she is just showing her fame, and her tone is not small at all!

"How does it compare with a girl?"

It seems to be praise, but it is actually setting people up, leaving no room for repentance.

Amid the persuasive voices of the crowd, Song Xian said: "Then let's bet on it."

He couldn't see the details on the chess board, but from the expressions and reactions of the people around him, it was clear that she played chess very well.

And it is impossible for him to make Xuan Ce army a knife to satisfy this selfish desire.

But after careful consideration, one can know that such a rapid road to fame has been achieved by few people throughout the ages.

Therefore, playing chess can be self-cultivating, and it is also a practice.

"Since it's a competition, it's interesting when each wins." Chang Sui Ning said.

There were several middle-aged men sitting in the room, all wearing long gowns, one of them was an elder of the Cui clan, and he was the one who invited Cui Jing to come here today.

"Master, this..." Cui Lang leaned over and said in a low voice, "Is this too risky?"

"You Cui family really raised a good man!"

But the rituals learned by men and women are different. It is said that they were taught by the Imperial College, but Mrs. Chang has never actually entered the Imperial Academy, so she is still a bit of a bully...

Anyone who teaches, or the literati elders who have the grace to know each other and help each other, can certainly be called a teacher, but there is indeed no one who seriously offers a cup of apprenticeship tea.

He just needs to prove that his dissatisfaction is qualified, he just needs to frustrate her self-righteous publicity.

They would like to thank him for his consideration, and they are merciful!

"you!"

"Is Mrs. Chang really going to play chess with Song?" He asked.

It can be called quiet all around, and the branches and leaves of the ginkgo tree beside it rustle softly with the wind.

Song Xian almost laughed.

"Li Le?"

Cui Lang wanted to cry but had no tears, his mouth was pursed and he was very wronged.

Hearing those heartbroken words, Cui Jing finally said: "The prince is young and his heart is not firm. If I really remonstrate rashly, it will only make people with ulterior motives sneak in. Therefore, I will never agree to this matter."

Only in this way can his dissatisfaction be justified and well-founded, so that he is qualified enough to say those words, not as if he dared to talk about her, a little girl, behind his back.

The two sides finalized this, and Cui Lang urged Yihu: "Hurry up and get someone to fetch the chessboard!"

The young man by the window on the second floor is always looking at the girl playing chess.

Song Xian realized that this was also a kind of psychological conflict, so he reminded himself to deal with it calmly.

Her figure was straight but she didn't do it deliberately, she raised her hand and dropped it, as if she was forming a formation and building a universe.

He wanted to say more, but he saw the girl glanced at him, as if she was saying——If you talk too much, you will be crushed together.

Will this be an accidental brilliance?
"Come on, let's go and have a look." He picked up the flute by the table and got up slowly.

There were also some people who were just watching the show, such as Tan Li, outsiders who came to participate in the poetry meeting, started talking in a low voice at this moment.

The opponent is a lady of the capital, learning chess is also a compulsory thing, but above the chess game, superficial skills are just an introduction.

"Well, let's compare it to this." She said, "I'm pretty good at chess."

"That lady Chang!"

The word demeanor has always been difficult for a little girl to have such an intuitive feeling.

The implication is that poetry is his specialty, and he can't bully people—especially a girl.

"Your hearts are never hidden. If this discussion has not been made, why should I inform you?" The young man standing in front of the window with his hands behind his back said seriously: "If I have the heart to make meritorious service, I should pretend to agree to your proposal first, and then turn back at the critical moment." Water, so that you can't retreat—”

In the private room on the second floor, someone was standing in front of the open window lattice, just in time to see the scene in the backyard.

He didn't bother to compete with a little girl in public, but his dissatisfaction with the other party had just been made public. He needed to compete with the other party, and he needed to win a game with dignity and effort——

Song Xian looked at the stone table.

He looked at the chessboard in front of him, and the young girl sitting quietly and playing chess opposite.

"It's still led by you Cui family——"

Sure enough, he is still arrogant and arrogant, he doesn't know the seriousness, and he only cares about sensationalism to attract people's attention!
"This is obviously just talking to Song Xiandi..."

Several middle-aged men almost fell on their backs with anger.

As for musical instruments, here is a music hall...

Chang Sui Ning smiled and nodded: "Okay."

Later, he was able to get to know more people who were good at chess, and he became a Juren step by step, went to the capital, entered the Imperial Academy, surrounded by more good teachers and helpful friends, and his chess skills improved day by day.

The girl was always unhurried, no matter whether the other party was in a hurry or slow, the timing of each move was almost the same, as if she didn't need to think too much, and seemed to be looking at the overall situation at all times.

Cui Lang felt a pain in his heart when he heard it - of course you can gamble, but betting on other things will put the family on the line, isn't this the work of a proper rich and prodigal son?

Although this may be negligible, he must at least know the other party's plan.

"He keeps saying that he is concerned about the overall situation of the country. If he is really so, how can he be willing to be an eagle dog for the future!"

"It's not an ordinary girl, it's that ordinary lady..."

He was ready to win, and he was also ready to show the gentlemanly demeanor a man should have after winning.

The two first set down two seats at opposite corners, and then Chang Sui Ning went first with Bai Zi.

"You...You are a dignified son of the Cui family, are you really going to become a minion of the Empress Ming?"

Chang Suining: "I heard that Song Juren wanted to worship sacrificial wine as his teacher before—"

One by one the chess pieces fell, and as the chess surface became increasingly tense and dangerous, almost no one spoke, but there were occasional sighs of surprise.

Hearing these voices, Prince Rong's son in regular clothes couldn't help but smile slightly: "From the sound of 'that Mrs. Chang', we can know that Mrs. Chang has really moved the capital in just a few months, and everyone knows it."

If everything goes as he expected, the more witnesses the better, but right now...

The youth ignored him.

"There's no need to talk to this Zhuzi any more!"

Moreover, that contempt must be put away.

The girl is wearing a silk-colored silk skirt, her figure is slim and upright, and the embroidered crane cloak flutters slightly with the wind when she raises her hand, making her posture more casual and even graceful.

It is the arrogant selfish desire that still wants to be above the imperial power and stand on the top of all things.

On the contrary, she seemed to be expressing her respect very seriously, trying to make the match as fair as possible.

"Playing well" is not enough to play against Song Xiandi!
Song Xian didn't see those ups and downs anymore: "If that's the case, let's play chess."

"Very good, Mrs. Chang has courage, which is admirable!" Someone from the Xunmei Society praised her.

Hey, isn't the governor just pretending?
Yuan Xiang looked curiously.

He also vaguely heard someone playing chess early in the morning, but it's not unusual to play chess in this kind of place.

It's just...it turns out that the person playing chess with others is actually Mrs. Chang?

No wonder the governor took it so seriously - that was the governor's only friend playing chess with others, roughly speaking, it was equivalent to the governor sitting there and playing chess with others!
But why did it suddenly become noisy? This is the winner, right?
