Chapter 20: Trying
Xiangqi, as the quintessence of China with a long history, naturally has its charm.
In ancient China, Xiangqi was also listed as the art of self-cultivation by scholars and doctors, and belonged to one of the four arts of qin, chess, calligraphy and painting.
"Haha, finally let the old man catch you, General!" Liang Boyi laughed, pushed the car in his hand, and stood next to Jian Yu's "general".
Jian Yu frowned, stretched out his hand to play chess, but looked at the chess game and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
I saw that on the chess game, there was an enemy's red car on the left side of my own green general, and the right side was blocked by my own green cannon, and the front side was blocked by my own green side!
Although he can use his own Green Cannon to kill the enemy's Red Car, there is still an enemy Red Car behind the Green Cannon, and as long as the Green Cannon moves, it can rush up and kill the Green General!
Targeted by two enemy red cars, the green general's back road seems to be only backward, but there is still an enemy red horse standing next to the red car on the left!
As soon as he retreated, the red horse would immediately raise his horse's feet and trample it to death!
Checkmate...... He is indeed a general, and he has no way to live at all!
"It's me who loses." Jian Yu smiled reluctantly, even if he was a little worried in his heart, he would not allow himself to show an expression that he couldn't afford to lose. As the son of an official family, he is proud, he can disobey, he can fight again, but he can't make such bad behavior as not admitting defeat or losing his temper.
"It's just luck, Jian Gongzi's chess path was unexpected, but the old man tried his best~!" Liang Boyi is not a person who makes a lot of effort when he gets cheap, and the humility of a scholar is extremely prominent in him.
"Then I'm going to see if your luck lasts, sir, shall we have a round?" Xuanyuan smiled gently and invited.
"Okay, the old man can't ask for it~!"
The chess game is set, Liang Boyi holds the red chess, Xuanyuan Qian holds the green chess, and the red chess goes first.
Liang Bo Yi is very steady, the first step is to raise troops, and in the chess game with Jian Yu, his pawn successfully invaded the green chess territory and killed a horse and a cannon.
Waiting for Liang Boyi to put the chess pieces, Xuanyuan smiled at the corner of his mouth, and mobilized the cannon with one hand.
It takes a lot of courage to use the cannon in the first step, and if it is not placed in the right place, it will have a huge impact on your side.
Liang Boyi frowned, although he had just come into contact with chess, he also realized how risky it was to use the cannon at the first step.
"Young Master Luo, are you sure you want to take this step?" Liang Boyi didn't move, but asked Xuanyuan Qian.
Xuanyuan smiled lightly, "I don't regret losing chess." ”
"Good!" Liang Boyi didn't think about it anymore, but immersed himself in the game with Xuanyuan Qian wholeheartedly.
Although Xuanyuan's first move was risky, he followed it steadily and accurately, and did not waste any opportunity to move.
The chess continued to play, but Liang Boyi felt from the chess game that he had no regrets and was arrogant and arrogant.
Finally, the game is over.
Liang Boyi took a sip of the cold tea on the table, and his excitement was still a little uneasy. Quickly glanced at the masked young man with calm eyes on the other side, and he couldn't help but sigh. In a game, Liang Boyi can see that the other party is bold and careful, smart enough to know how to forbear, such a smart person will definitely be able to become a character in time!
"Childe is so powerful!" Hanyue looked at Xuanyuan with admiration, and her eyes turned into shining stars.
"It's just that practice makes perfect, after all, I'm more familiar with chess than my husband, and it's not surprising to win once or twice." Xuanyuan smiled modestly, neither unexpectedly, nor self-deprecating, and said a sentence sleek and not explicit, which made Liang Boyi feel comfortable to hear.
Liang Boyi laughed, "Young Master Luo is humble!" ”
"Actually, I haven't tried the first hand cannon, but this is the first time I've tried it~." Xuanyuan said.
Liang Boyi sighed with interest, "Then why do you suddenly want to try?" ”
"I want to do that." Xuanyuan Qian picked up the cannon and said meaningfully: "If I don't try, then I will never know if this step is right or not." If you try, you'll know what kind of future this step will extend, right? ”
Liang Boyi tightened his eyebrows, feeling that Xuanyuan had something to say.
"Sir, it's time to go back." The fisherman of the fishing boat carrying Liang Boyi reminded outside the painting boat.
Xuanyuan said softly: "There is no feast in the world, Mr. go slowly, look forward to the next reunion!" ”
“…… In this case, the old man said goodbye and looked forward to meeting again next time! Liang Boyi didn't procrastinate, and bent down to go out after saying goodbye with a thorough farewell.
Hanyue followed Liang Boyi to send him out.
"I really expect Mr. Liang to know from Su Si's mouth that you deliberately led him on the boat, what kind of expression will he have?" Jian Yu rested her hands on the back of her head, lying on the blanketed board, her posture was lazy and elegant, and her tone was playful.
"I'm going to be a little angry." Xuanyuan guessed casually.
"A little angry? Heh~, you underestimate the stubborn temperament of readers, once they get angry, they will never forgive you if they don't let you explain that you are ugly! ”
Xuanyuan raised his eyebrows and looked at him, "It seems that you are quite experienced." ”
Jian Yu pursed her lips, snorted twice and closed her eyes. He hasn't forgotten that when he was interviewing musicians, this profiteer struck him severely! Although he wanted to stay in Qianjiao Pavilion, it was not in this way of fulfilling the gambling contract!
Xuanyuan just pursed his lips and didn't say anything more.

Four Seasons Private School.
"Master, the young master in Tsing Yi has been waiting for you at home for two hours!" As soon as Liang Boyi entered the door, the old housekeeper ran over to report.
Liang Boyi raised his eyebrows, the fact that he would go to the lake to fish every day before Shen Shi was known to be known, how could Su Si come to him at this time period?
What happened?
Since the age of thirteen, Su Si has lived with Liang Boyi, and his relationship is quite good, and Su Si's personality is also with Liang Boyi, so he is more gentle and calm than ordinary young people, and under the blow of the Su family's eleven years, he also lacks the enthusiasm that young people should have.
"Grandpa...... I have something to discuss with you. As soon as Liang Boyi stepped into the door, Su Si couldn't help but open his mouth. Whenever Su Si had a hard time making a choice, he would choose to discuss it with Liang Boyi.
The old butler respectfully stepped aside.
Liang Boyi sat down, poured tea, and said, "Say it." ”
Su Si hesitated for a moment before briefly recounting the conversation with Xuanyuan Qian today, and then looked at Liang Boyi with a blank face, "Grandpa, should I try it?" ”
When he heard the word "Luo Qian", the corners of Liang Boyi's mouth twitched uncontrollably.
Although he was a little angry at what Xuanyuan had done, but looking at his grandson's unconfident and hesitant expression, he sighed deeply, maybe he was right.
How do you know if it's right or not if you don't try?
