Chapter 14 Two Games of Chess ([-])

"Sir, please!"

Ma Qi can be a scoundrel, but Hong Qing has to respect his teacher. This is not just a matter of rules, but also because Hong Qing knows what kind of future Ma Qi will have. At that time, it was all worth it to say good things for myself in the ears of Mr. Kangxi. As for playing chess itself, it is really not a big deal. After all, there is still a full hour and a half of morning class today. Those boring scriptures that are about Zhe Ye, might as well just mix them up for entertainment.

"Okay, come again, come again!"

After a disastrous defeat, March didn't raise any handicap anymore, or even skip guessing first. He just grabbed a white piece and put it on the board. The self-awareness of being a teacher is like losing the impatient gambler.

Yo, the old clapper is really in a hurry, so, let me take care of you!

Seeing Ma Qi's virtue, Hong Qing was calm on the surface, but she almost burst out laughing in her stomach, but she was not all laughing at Ma Qi's embarrassment, but was more cheering for the success of her scheme ——Ma Qi is a capable minister, but also a straight minister. If a person like this wants to get his attention, he can't just rely on lip service. He must have real skills. Although Go is a small way, Ma Qi may lose Huge, not to mention anything else, at least let Comrade Ma Qi firmly remember that there is a person like Hong Qing, this is success, of course, everything is too much, the previous game can be a big victory, what next? , it's time to play evenly, otherwise, the good show will have to be played crookedly. Hong Qing understands this reason better than anyone else, so she won't make the mistake of getting carried away.

Ma Qi's chess is actually not bad. According to Hong Qing's estimate, it is roughly at the level of the early amateurs of the later generations, and is better than most people in this era. If this is true, he will play chess with a lot of caution. The offense and defense were also much tighter. Under Hong Qing's intentional guidance, the chess was played very carefully.

"Call to eat!"

Just as Hong Qing was fighting fiercely with Ma Qi, a game of Go was in progress in an attic near the pool in the back garden of Baye Mansion. Yinhu, who was dressed in lavender single clothes, was covering her forehead with her hands, her brows were furrowed tightly He uttered the word "Chuan", and a middle-aged scholar in green robes sitting opposite him had a calm expression on his face. He moved up and down a chess piece, a black stone was hitting an important part of the board, and a "Double call to eat" came out, Yinhu's already sad handsome face suddenly became a little more bitter.

"It's hard to handle. I'm afraid it's time for the starling to make a move. This chess, tsk tsk, can't be played."

As soon as the Qingpao scribe's chess fell, not only Yinhu had a headache, but also the old Jiu Yinhu, who was sitting on the sidelines watching the battle, couldn't help sighing. There is no doubt that he also believed that this game of chess Yinhu was absolutely helpless of.

"Brother is so elegant, this day is about to collapse, you still have time to play chess here, the younger brother is not grateful."

Yinhu was already struggling to think of a countermeasure, but when he heard what Yinhu said, the frustration in his heart suddenly deepened, he grabbed a handful of white pieces, and was about to throw them on the chess game to show that he would admit defeat, when he suddenly let out a cry Feeling aroused, I saw the old fourteen running in dripping wet.

"Hey, the fourteenth brother is here, um, why did you get this look? Did he fall into the porridge pot?"

Seeing that the old fourteen was in such a mess, Yinhu couldn't help being amused for a while, and didn't pay attention to the old fourteen's emotional words before, but joked with him with a smile.

"Hey, the old fourteen understands everything, but the starling said you are a rat shit, no, it must have ruined another good pot of porridge."

The old ten Yinyu always likes to be active and not quiet, and the most annoying thing is playing chess. He is holding a fishing rod in his boredom, fishing for fish intentionally or unintentionally. After fishing, he threw away the fishing rod in his hand, laughed and teased Old Fourteen, but the words were so vulgar that the veins on Old Fourteen's forehead jumped up.

"Brother, don't be joking, my little brother is worrying, hey, if mynah doesn't want to listen to the truth, then just go away."

Although the old fourteen was in partnership with Yinhu and others, he was a very proud person inside, especially the vulgar and ignorant Yinyu, who couldn't stand it, but because of face, he didn't want to be as knowledgeable as the old ten. In addition, he had something on his mind at the moment, so he didn't want to talk and laugh nonsense, so he waved his hands pretending to be angry, as if he wanted to leave.

"Okay, old ten, just stop talking a few words, and no one will treat you as dumb. Old fourteen, come on, sit down and talk, sit down and talk, what's the matter, we brothers discuss it, and decide It won't be bad."

Seeing that the old fourteen was about to kick his hoof, the ninety quickly stood up from the side, grabbed the old fourteen, and tried to comfort him.

"Brother Nine, this big event is about to start, won't you all be kept in the dark?"

The old fourteen didn't really want to leave at first, but he just wanted to discuss business quickly. Now that Yinzhen came forward, he wouldn't act recklessly, and he didn't care about the water stains on his body, so he just pulled a brocade to sit on it. When he finished, he groaned endlessly without surprise.

"What's the big deal? What's the big deal? Fourteenth brother, you have made your words clear. You have asked me to guess riddles all of a sudden, and I have to figure it out."

Hearing what the old fourteen said, the brothers were stunned for a moment, and after looking at each other, they still allowed Yinzhen to speak.

"This matter is really a charade. Hey, let me tell you, what did Huang Ama call the old fox Suo'etu to Texas?"

The old fourteen wanted to show off, but he didn't want to be in a hurry to reveal the answer, so he sneered, and told the mystery first, which meant that he wanted to know who he was.

"Tch, what's the point of guessing, isn't it just asking that guy Suo'etu to wait on that guy with shit and piss, and there's still a shit to do."

Old Ten had a simple mind, but he spoke quickly. Others were silently thinking about it, but he was fine, and he babbled nonsense with a look of extreme disdain.

"This..., it shouldn't be that simple, right?"

Yinzhen's brain is obviously much more alert than the old ten's. Although he couldn't figure out the answer to the mystery, he always felt that there seemed to be something strange inside, and he was afraid that the old fourteen would be offended, so he hesitated to interrupt.

"Mr. Lu, what do you think of this matter?"

Yinhu's mind is considered to be the most dexterous among the crowd, and he is also the most adept at seeing and hearing. He knew about Suo'etu's order to go to Dezhou, and he didn't pay much attention to it at first, but at this moment Hearing that Yinzhen raised it up so cautiously, there was a murmur in his heart, as if he had thought of something vaguely, but he was not sure, so he frowned, and tentatively threw the question to The green-robed scribe sitting in front of the chessboard standing on the ground despite the old god.

Mr. Lu, real name Lu Chunyan, style name, Shenzhi, name, Xiangshan Jushi, native of Cangzhou, Hebei, was born in the second year of Shunzhi, a scholar in the 16th year of Kangxi, and won the Juren in the next year, but since then, he has made no progress in the examination field , every time he missed the list, disheartened, he planned to waste his life on this, but by chance, he met Ba Ye who was on business in Cangzhou. Qing Ke, who is highly trusted by Baye because of his resourcefulness and good judgment, will generally consult with him whenever there is an unresolved official business.

"Ba Ye, please look carefully at this game of chess. If this piece falls here, the good situation is in danger of collapse."

Lu Chunyan did not answer Yinhu's question directly, but picked up a white piece, touched it on the chessboard, and said something meaningful.

"Huh? Sir, what you mean is..."

Chess was the most painful thing for Yinhu before, but this time, Yinhu's unfavorable situation suddenly presented a big reversal opportunity, but Yinhu's thoughts at this time were not on the chessboard at all, so he couldn't help it. He would be excited because the chess game had a chance of winning, but instead he frowned and spoke half of the words thoughtfully.

"I said, old Lu, don't play charades. If you have something to say, hurry up, we're so anxious!"

Seeing Yinhu pondering like this, Yinhu also became interested. With a thought, he seemed to have gained something, but he was not very clear, and he didn't dare to say it. Only Yinhu was brainless and impatient, which was full of dissatisfaction. He roared happily.

"Did Fourteen see it?"

Yinyu's voice was quite loud, but it was a pity that Lu Chunyan didn't pay attention to him at all, but turned to Yinzhen who was sitting calmly by the side, and asked with a smile.

"I have observed a little, but I dare not say everything, and I ask you to give me some advice."

Yinzhen was able to see that some tricks were not figured out by himself, but by Hong Qing's vague hints. Seeing that Lu Chunyan looked at him with obvious appreciation, he couldn't help feeling a little guilty, and felt a little guilty. It was hard to tell the truth, so I had to deal with it vaguely.

"Don't worry, watch the chess first, watch the chess first."

The matter is of great importance, and Lu Chunyan didn't want to hurry to find out the answer, so he smiled and waved his hands, and then, ignoring Lao Shi's beard and staring anxiously, he turned around, picked up a handful of black and white, Filling pieces on the chessboard unhurriedly, with a relaxed demeanor, as if he was playing a score, but in the eyes of the three Yinhu brothers, the meaning is quite different.

"Sudden decision will move the world, and it may be easier to plan slowly. Is this the truth that Mr. said?"

As the chess game progressed, both Yinhu and Yinhu raised their brows one after another, obviously they both understood what Lu Chunyan meant by not saying anything, and after a quick glance at each other, Yinhu asked Yinhu to ask.

"Jiuye is indeed extremely intelligent, and what he said is right, but although this principle is the law of heaven, it doesn't seem to be easier. Since ancient times, the heart of heaven is the most unpredictable."

Lu Chunyan nodded first, then shook his head, and replied in a deep tone. As soon as he said this, the smiles that the three Yinhu brothers had just shown froze again...
