Chapter 122: Ivory Chess

After that, Zhu Ziyu walked around in front of her, touched his chin as if thinking for a while before he spoke: "No way, who made you so difficult?" You're going to stay like this until you get off the boat, and of course, if I remember you when I got off the boat, I'll help you unlock the acupuncture points. ”

After speaking, Zhu Ziyu turned his head and walked to the place where he entered the cabin, but he didn't want to see You Xiaoya follow Qi Yinlang to the cabin on the second floor as soon as he turned his head.

The ship's layout was not very large, so there were only three rooms on the second floor that resembled a rest area, which were reserved for those who were willing to pay for the rest of the house.

This rest room is about ten square meters, and there are two large windows on it, and the edge of the window is fixed with wood like a guardrail, which is supposed to be used to prevent people from falling down when standing by the window.

And under the window, a pair of quite delicate low couches are set up, and there is a black color square table fixed on the low couch, and a few brushstrokes on the face of the square table are carved with a pool of green lotus. After You Xiaoya and Qi Yinlang entered the rest room together, a small servant brought tea and snacks.

"Using magnets for fixation, the owner of this ship really has a heart." You Xiaoya drank the water in the cup dry, turned the bottom of the cup and looked at it, and then put the cup on the low table.

"You know this stone?" I couldn't say that I heard You Xiaoya say this, Qi Yinlang was a little surprised.

"What's so strange about that?" You Xiaoya had a constant smile on her face.

"No, I just think. Brother Jin is really knowledgeable, after all, things like Zishi are not too common. Qi Yinlang smiled and said.

"Really?" You Xiaoya picked up the water cup and took a sip of tea, she roughly knew. Magnets have been discovered from ores in the Spring and Autumn Period, but the use of magnets at that time was not particularly widespread, but there was also a use of 'spoons'.

It wasn't until the Song Dynasty that Shen Kuo made a series of explanations and analyses on this, and the compass was widely used when it was operated at sea, but although You Xiaoya could judge that this era was roughly like the Song Dynasty, she was not sure whether these things were also invented at this time. So she didn't dare to say more.

"Gu Yousinan was made of this stone." Qi Yinlang looked at You Xiaoya's casual appearance, and inexplicably had a feeling that that was what she knew about the woman in front of her. Maybe he knew a lot more than him.

"Hmm" You Xiaoya only responded politely to Qi Yinlang's words, and did not mean to say more.

"There are still many times to go back this way, I wonder if Brother Jin is interested in us coming to the next game?" Seeing that You Xiaoya didn't want to say more. Qi Yinlang just didn't mention it anymore. When I put down the cup, I changed the topic by the way.

"Go?" You Xiaoya frowned slightly, saying that she learned a few tricks on the computer when she played Go, and a person like Qi Yinlang who won chess at every turn to pass the time, she didn't have the heart to find a strike.

"In addition to Go, is Brother Jin interested in any other chess?" Qi Yinlang asked instructively, saying that the element of curiosity is very heavy.

"I'm not interested, I'm not good at chess." You Xiaoya shook her head and replied very calmly.

"I see." Qi Yinlang glanced at You Xiaoya with a light smile.

"Still. In chess, you can still play a few moves. You Xiaoya saw that Qi Yinlang seemed to be unable to find the words to say. After a pause, he continued.

"Chess?" Qi Yinlang was really taken aback.

And after hearing You Xiaoya say this, Zhu Ziyu on the side was also shocked, saying that chess is rarely circulated among the people, and the people who can be involved in the past dynasties are all nobles in the current dynasty, and there are only a handful of people who can play well, but seeing You Xiaoya so calmly said that she can play chess and play a few moves, that appearance shows that she is confident, right?

"Well, a little." You Xiaoya glanced at Zhu Ziyu who was looking at her, what did his eyes mean?

"Do you have the pleasure of playing a game with Madame?" Qi Yinlang changed his title, and the importance and respect in his tone remained unchanged from beginning to end.

"And chess here?" You Xiaoya took a look around, but found that this rest room, although it was a rest room, seemed to be too neat and lively, as if it was specially prepared for someone here.

"Wait a minute." Qi Yinlang got up and walked over to a small Bogu shelf behind him, and then took down a delicate box with lacquer from a shelf on the lowest level.

After the box was brought over, You Xiaoya easily put aside all the tea sets on the table, while Qi Yinlang put the box on the table, and the actions of the two seemed to have a tacit understanding.

Then I heard only a click, and the box slowly opened, and in the middle of the box were two sandalwood boxes with a faint fragrance.

You Xiaoya glanced at Qi Yinlang, and when she saw him bowing slightly, she took out one of them, the sandalwood box was a little heavy to start with, and the surface was only covered with a layer of clear water paint, but the feel was excellent.

You Xiaoya couldn't judge the value of this box from the workmanship, but inexplicably she just felt that this thing should not be cheaper, and from the place where the box opened and closed, she saw obvious signs of opening and closing many times, so she guessed that this should be often used to play.

Of course, combined with Qi Yinlang's behavior of being so familiar with this house, You Xiaoya came to a conclusion in a blink of an eye, that is, this ship is most likely the property of Qi Yinlang's family, and this lounge is also specially prepared for him.

"I also said where the chessboard was, it turned out to be this box." You Xiaoya saw Qi Yinlang completely unfold the previous lacquer box, and the inside of the box became a complete chessboard depicted in black ink Danzhu.

When the box of the chess pieces was opened, You Xiaoya was still taken aback, because the chess pieces inside were arranged on a small wooden shelf one by one, and they were all made of ivory.

Of course, if it was all made into the kind of round cake shape that You Xiaoya was familiar with, she would not be so surprised to write some words, mainly because of these chess pieces, and they were all carved into the kind of appearance corresponding to the chess pieces.

The elephants, all of them came to life, as if they were about to burst out of a box. Although You Xiaoya has no concept of statues at all, this does not prevent her from judging high-quality things.

So, when she looked at it based on what she had seen in her two lifetimes, she almost immediately classified it as a superb work of art.

"It's ...... Chess? Zhu Ziyu seems to have other opinions about the chess that Qi Yinlang took out. (To be continued......)
