Chapter 288: Playing Chess
The gift sent by the person in charge caused all kinds of speculation among the people in the Lin family, and also made the main courtyard of the Lin family extremely lively.
However, it is not clear why the person in charge gave the gift, Lin Zhongtian is not the kind of person who has no brains, although he also hopes that the person in charge will let people give gifts because he has a crush on the girl of the Lin family, but before he gets the exact news, he will not identify this matter.
So after everyone guessed for a while, he asked everyone to go back to their seats and continue the feast.
Lin Caiyi looked quite happy, as if he had already decided that he was taken by the person in charge, and he couldn't hide his spirit.
She would glance at Lin Xiaodie every once in a while, her eyes were full of pride, as if she wanted to press Lin Xiaode to the ground with her eyes.
Lin Xiaodie naturally felt a little inferior in her heart, after all, when Jiang Shuo said that these gifts were for her, she was still excited for a while.
But who would have thought that everyone said that these gifts were given to Lin Caiyi by the person in charge, and this gap naturally made her a little uncomfortable.
Not long after, after dinner, Lin Zhongtian began to talk to everyone about the current situation of the Lin family, summarized the performance of the past period of time, and then pointed out the problems of some people.
After this session, the atmosphere in the main courtyard also became a lot more relaxed, because the next few sessions were all entertainment sessions.
"Today we are fortunate to invite Huo Guang, a master of the Go world, to come to our home, I know that many of you juniors are interested in Go, today you will have the opportunity to compete with top chess players, if you are lucky, you may be able to be accepted as an apprentice by Huo Guang's seniors. Lin Zhongtian said to everyone.
Many people present suddenly became excited, Huo Guang does have a great reputation in the Go world, and the Lin family, as a big family, naturally attaches great importance to the cultivation of this aspect.
The descendants of the Lin family had to learn Go when they were young, and many of them would show great talent, and some could even make a name for themselves through Go, which would be a great benefit to the future division of family property.
After Lin Haotian heard Lin Zhongtian's words, an excited expression suddenly appeared on his face, he was the most talented person in Go among the younger generations of the Lin family.
Now his level of Go has reached a fairly good point, and he has considerable confidence to let Huo Guang accept him as an apprentice.
After Jiang Shuo heard the name Huo Guang, his face showed a trace of disdain, this Huo Guang does have a lot of fame in the Go world, but compared with Jiang Shuo's good national players, it is still much worse.
Jiang Shuo's talent in Go back then could almost be described as terrifying, but it was a pity that the Lin family didn't attach importance to him, so they didn't know his level in Go at all.
Jiang Shuo is not a person who likes to show off, even so, his uncles already hate him to the core, if he shows his talent again, I am afraid that he will really die back then.
Lin Haotian had seen Jiang Shuo fiddling with Go back then, and he knew in his heart that he also had a desire for Go, and now he was a little accomplished, and it was more than enough to show off in front of Jiang Shuo.
So he looked at Jiang Shuo and deliberately asked: "Jiang Shuo, Go is a skill that the younger generations of my Lin family must learn, I remember that you also liked Go back then, I don't know if you understand the rules of Go after so many years?"
Everyone burst out laughing.
Lin Caiyi even mocked directly: "Just him, I think he can also distinguish between white and black." ”
"I suggest that after Senior Huo Guang comes later, you hide yourself, lest he find out that our Lin family still has such a stupid person as you, and lose the face of our Lin family!" Lin Haotian sneered without scruples.
Jiang Shuo pursed his lips and said, "With Huo Guang's level, I'm afraid I'm not qualified to say that I'm stupid." ”
Lin Haotian's face changed suddenly, he didn't expect Jiang Shuo to say this about Huo Guang's seniors, it was a big rebellion!
"You damn thing, you dare to insult Huo Guang's seniors, I think you are looking for death!" Lin Haotian shouted.
Lin Caiyi also said indignantly: "It's really shameless, this kind of big talk is said, can he really take himself seriously?"
Everyone in the Lin family also glanced at Jiang Shuo with disdain, and they all felt that he was looking for a sense of existence, and even many people felt that Lin Yang's emotional intelligence was too low and he couldn't even speak.
Jiang Shuo didn't care about the reaction of the Lin family, and directly ignored their ridicule.
Only Lin Xiaodie was present who knew Jiang Shuo's real level of Go, and she didn't feel that what Jiang Shuo said just now was excessive, after all, she had seen the scene of the national Go player losing to Jiang Shuo back then.
A Huo Guang is indeed not qualified to evaluate Jiang Shuo's level.
However, she knew that Jiang Shuo was a low-key person, so she didn't talk much.
After a while, an old man with gray hair came to the main courtyard of the Lin family, accompanied by a young man who looked to be in his twenties.
This old man is Huo Guang, who now has a good reputation in the Go world, and the young man next to him is his proud disciple, named Du Yuan.
After Lin Zhongtian saw Huo Guang coming over with his disciples, he immediately asked people to arrange seats.
"Old man Huo, you can come to my Lin family with a face, it really makes my Lin family shine, and some of the juniors of my Lin family will need careful guidance from the seniors later." Lin Zhongtian said with a smile.
Huo Guang smiled and said: "I only watch chess today, I don't make a move, this is my apprentice, named Du Yuan, he has obtained my true inheritance, if those little dolls of the Lin family master want to play chess, just play with him." ”
After Lin Haotian and the others heard Huo Guang's words, an excited expression suddenly appeared on their faces.
As young people, they are all quite competitive, and if they have the opportunity to learn from Huo Guang's disciples, they will naturally not let it go.
If they can win Huo Guang's disciples, it will prove their talent.
Lin Haotian took a step forward directly, and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then I will come to learn the disciples of Huo Senior, I have also heard of Brother Du Yuan's reputation a long time ago, and it is really an honor to be able to learn from it today." ”
Du Yuan looked at Lin Haotian and smiled, his attitude was quite polite, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that there was still a trace of contempt in his eyes.
Soon, Lin Zhongtian asked people to put a table in the main courtyard and set up a chessboard for Lin Haotian and Du Yuan to compete.
Everyone in the Lin family gathered around, wanting to see who of these two young talents would be superior.
Soon, the game between the two began, and Lin Haotian showed considerable excitement.
However, less than twenty minutes after the start of this game, Lin Haotian lost to Du Yuan.
