Chapter 15 Tokens of Love
Xia Chun finally agreed, saying, "Okay." ”
Mei Wendian was allowed to start a new game with great interest. Mei Wendian won the last game easily, thinking that he had found a flaw, this game was taken lightly, who knew that the opponent changed the route this time, no longer the same as the previous game, Mei Wendian was stunned after ten moves, was caught off guard, his hand on the chessboard left and right and did not dare to move. He has seen a clear decline.
Cui Binmu, the second young master of the Cui family, opposite Mei Wendian, smiled proudly. is also a teenager, the second young master of the Cui family is obviously much older than Mei Wendian, he wears a gold-rimmed glasses, and like his brother, he wears a cyan gown, holds his chin, and quietly thinks about the situation on the chessboard.
"It turned out to be 'Tianji Horse Racing'. Xia Chun calmed down, combed through the two games just now in his mind, and understood, no wonder Mei Wendian won the second game so easily, it turned out that everything was premeditated.
The onlookers have already begun to coax, "Boy, looking at you like this, I'm afraid you're still going to lose......!"
"Sister Xia Chun, it's over, I'm really going to lose this game, I don't want to take off my pants......" Mei Wendian's eyes for help were projected at Xia Chun again.
Xia Chun looked at the chessboard and found that Mei Wendian's side seemed to be at a disadvantage, but in fact there was still a glimmer of opportunity, and after hesitating for a moment, Xia Chun finally patted Mei Wendian's shoulder and said, "I'll come." ”
Mei Wendian hesitated, he knew that Xia Chun could play chess, he learned from Mei Wenzi, and he always followed Mei Wenzi in the past, so he held his cheeks and watched. Mei Wendian actually learned chess from Mei Wenzi. It's just that he plays chess with Mei Wenzi, and he always wins, but Mei Wenzi and Xia Chun play chess, and it is always Mei Wenzi who wins. Xia Chun couldn't even defeat Mei Wenzi, the defeated general of his own men, how could he beat himself? What if Xia Chun lost if he handed over this chessboard to Xia Chun? Although the second young master of the Cui family promised him that if he won, he would give him a landscape painting of Tang Bohu, but he also said that if he lost, then he really had to take off his pants......
"It's okay, I'll come. Xia Chun already had some confidence in his heart, and patted Mei Wendian's back.
However, the first to disagree was Cui Binmu opposite Mei Wendian, who picked up a chess piece he ate and knocked on the edge of the chessboard, "Mrs. Mei, we have heard of this generation of fathers in the army, but we have never heard of Dai Fu playing chess! However, it is not impossible for this generation of husband to play chess, but since you are here to help Wen Dian, once you lose, this punishment is naturally indispensable!"
Xia Chun was already seated, and she raised her eyebrows and asked, "What punishment?"
"Take off, pants, and son!" Cui Binmu said solemnly.
A crowd burst into laughter. are waiting to see the good show of summer and spring.
Cui Binmu said provocatively, "Yes, haven't you women been doing something about independence and equal rights recently? As far as I know, the so-called equal rights are not only equal rights, but also equal obligations!"
Cui Binmu continued, "It's fun to let Wendian take off his pants, and besides, a large group of our women take off their pants......"
"Let's play chess first, and then I'm willing to gamble and lose. Xia Chun picked up the "soldiers" on the chessboard and took a step forward.
Cui Binmu nodded. The chess field is like a battlefield, two people began to fight, the people around them held their breath, did not dare to say a word, Cui Binmu's chess was also taught by his brother Cui Jiamu, Cui Jiamu was smart when he was young, in addition to not learning well, other hobbies, such as chess, calligraphy, each played better than anyone else, although everyone called him a prodigy when he was a child, but Cui Jiamu can be said to be a typical example of not learning and not knowing. Since ancient times, Shinong industry and commerce, with clear hierarchies, Cui Jiamu has been pinned on by his family since he was a child, but he has never met his family's expectations once. Later, he chose to go to medical school, but he was only forced by the pressure exerted by his father.
But Cui Binmu is different, Cui Binmu's interests are more extensive, and he can maintain a wide range of interests while maintaining academic excellence, which is difficult for normal people to do. He is the real prodigy of the Cui family, and Cui Jiamu is like a younger brother in front of him.
Xia Chun and Cui Binmu's game is really stalemate, Xia Chun originally chose to go the opposite, to defend as an offense, intending to introduce Cui Binmu step by step into the trap he set, who knew that Cui Binmu took a roundabout tactic, but no longer attacked, but also chose to defend, two people, you and I are playing chess, are dragging out time, just to see who has good patience, who can endure first, everyone knows that the person who moves first must be the first to show flaws.
Xia Chun is waiting for Cui Binmu, and Cui Binmu is also waiting for Xia Chun. However, Cui Binmu was younger in the end, and in the end he couldn't hold back, and took a step ahead of Xia Chun and came out. Xia Chun seized the opportunity and hurriedly made a move, and the two immediately went back and forth again, the situation was very intense, and after twenty or thirty rounds, Cui Binmu was finally defeated, and his half of the game was almost overwhelmed.
Cui Binmu sorted out the chessboard, only then did he find that his forehead was already full of sweat, he wiped away his tears, looked at the rest of the endgame, and said with emotion, "It's really a good game of chess, or Mrs. Mei is amazing, Binmu is willing to gamble and lose, come here, go and get the Tang Bohu landscape painting in my room." ”
"What do you mean by that?" Xia Chun looked at Mei Wendian with an inquiring gaze.
"That's the prize of victory, if I lose, take off my pants, if I win, Cui Binmu will give me his Tang Bohu," Mei Wendian's voice became smaller and smaller, "I thought you liked Tang Bohu, so I insisted on cutting in the queue and playing this game of chess with him." ”
Xia Chun was stunned. She really didn't expect that Mei Wendian would participate in this boring gamble for herself.
It's just that Mei Wendian knows that she likes Tang Bohu, not because she likes it, but because her father likes it, many years ago, she also chose to fight crickets with them in order to win a piece of Tang Bohu's calligraphy and painting.
Soon, the landscape painting came, Cui Binmu asked the man to unfold it to Xia Chun, the picture scroll is full of green mountains, there are a few villains playing cockfights nearby, and there is an old man fishing alone in the cold river, Chutian is connected, and the artistic conception is endless.
The crowd watching the excitement couldn't help but admire, "Good painting, good painting!
Xia Chun glanced at it silently, and gave Cui Binmu a blessing, "Thank you Cui Ergongzi, Xia Chun will say goodbye, it coincides with the Spring Festival, and Xia Chun is not exempt from vulgarity, this is a New Year's greeting to the Cui family, I wish the Cui family a lot of money and a good star." ”
Cui Binmu rolled the painting into a scroll again, rubbed his hands together, and replied politely, "Where is it, it is Binmu who is willing to gamble and lose, what he said before the chess start made Mrs. Mei laugh, it was Binmu who was rude, and he was so rude in front of the masters, rude! This painting was bought by Cui for a hundred silver dollars some time ago, and now he is offering it with both hands, and he asks Mrs. Mei to laugh!"
"Thank you, Young Master Cui, then the two of us will say goodbye. ”
Xia Chun took the painting, put it away, and handed it to Mei Wendian.
The two returned to Mei's house, Xia Chun took the painting from Mei Wendian's hand and threw it to Qiu Chan, "Qiu Chan, take this painting and burn it." ”
When Mei Wendian heard this, he was reluctant to give the painting to Xia Chun, so he held it on his chest and asked innocently, "Why?"
Xia Chun sighed, "This is not Tang Yin's real work, it is fake, the chapter of the real work is not like this, if this painting continues to remain in the world, it is the biggest disrespect to the old man Tang Bohu." ”
Mei Wendian was stunned.
Xia Chun patted Mei Wendian's shoulder, "Wendian, you go and rest for a while, I see that you are also tired, I will ask Qiu Cicada to call you when the dinner is held." ”
After Mei Wendian returned to the room, Xia Chun went to Lin Yuefeng's room, and she knocked on the door.
Lin Yuefeng was reading "The Book of Tea" in the room, and when he heard a knock on the door, he put down the book and put it on the desk.
"Please come in. ”
Xia Chun walked in and handed the parchment envelope to Lin Yuefeng, "Sir, this is the letter that Cui Jiamu asked me to bring to you." ”
Lin Yuefeng took the letter, put it on the table, looked at the words on the envelope, and knew who sent it, but he didn't rush to open it.
Xia Chun saw that there was a copy of "The Book of Tea" on the table, and asked curiously, "Mr. has been reading Lu Yu's "Book of Tea" recently?"
"Yes, Lin is a boring idler, he sees ugliness, and thinks that the Mei family is a tea family, so he borrowed a book from the autumn cicada girl to study, but no one taught, and he just swallowed dates, and he didn't seek to understand. ”
"It's a good thing that Mr. is studious," Xia Chun smiled and said, "In that case, don't disturb Mr. to study, Chun'er will go first." ”
"I'll send the girl. Lin Yuefeng stood up, and Xia Chun saw the purse on Lin Yuefeng's waist, which turned out to be the tattered purse at the beginning. She suddenly had the intention of embroidering a new purse for him.
Xia Chun is a person who thinks and does. Just do it, and when I returned to the room, Xia Chun began to embroider.
It's just that I didn't embroider for a while, and Lin Yuefeng came.
"Miss Xia. Lin Yuefeng pushed open the door, Xia Chun was startled, and quickly put away the purse that was embroidering.
"Mr. Lin, what's the matter?" Xia Chun straightened his face.
Lin Yuefeng walked in, holding the handkerchief that Xia Chun had wrapped around her wrist on the mountain that day,
"I'll return your veil. Lin Yuefeng carefully placed the handkerchief in Xia Chun's palm.
The veil had been stacked squarely, and the embroidered orchid was right in the middle, a quiet one, just like the ones he painted in his study, although there was only one, it bloomed with infinite vitality.
The handkerchief was washed, and I don't know if Lin Yuefeng washed it himself, or asked Qiu Cicada to help, Xia Chun lowered his eyelids, and soon saw the sleeve of Lin Yuefeng's empty thick cotton jacket: If he washed it alone, how did he do it?
Thinking like this, Xia Chun suddenly felt a little distressed, she put the handkerchief aside, and sighed, "Mr. doesn't have to pay it back, it's just a handkerchief." ”
Lin Yuefeng smiled, the corners of his mouth hooked a curvature, I don't know whether it was deliberate or unintentional, and said, "But if this handkerchief is left with me, will it become a token of affection?"
"A token of love?" Xia Chun raised his head.
