It is still the courtyard in the red-walled compound, quiet and simple, and majestic, invisibly revealing a calm and majestic momentum. Coupled with the heavily armed guards at the door, it looks even more majestic, and no matter who sees it, they can't help but feel a little yearning and heartfelt respect.

Although he is already a frequent visitor here, whenever Lin Yu sees the blue bricks and red walls, cornices and arches engraved with historical traces and condensed memories of the years, the ancient courtyards, and those lush trees, he will always feel thousands of emotions in his heart.

Of course, Lin Yu came to visit Old Man Lin. Now that he has returned to China, Lin Yu must live with the old man.

In 1997, a lot of things happened in the world, but the eyes of the whole world were focused on China.

Old Man Lin has long since retreated to the second line and no longer holds any position in the Central Committee, and he has retired very thoroughly, and he has not even entered the Central Advisory Committee. In his own words, after working hard for the party and the country all his life, this loess will be buried to his neck, and he should take care of his life and enjoy his happiness.

Even so, no one dared to underestimate the old man's energy. The intricate and intricate network of relationships and power in the forest system has already grown into a towering tree, how can it be so easy to shake? What's more, the old man's physical condition has always been very good, because he is not in a sensitive position, but he has a lot less worries, and he acts and speaks more loudly. Even the top leaders of the party and the state, who were supported by the chief, were polite and respectful to his old man.

Lin Yu has always lived with the old man in Beijing, so he naturally has unimpeded passage along the way, and even greeted those heavily armed guards warmly. The guards standing upright at the door also liked this handsome, handsome and personable boy, and he was also humble and polite to the staff, and did not put on a show.

Walking into the inner courtyard, in the quiet courtyard, Old Man Lin looked very good. The red-faced man was sitting and playing chess with another major general in a military uniform with shiny epaulettes, and he was in the middle of a fight. The chess set used was exactly what Lin Yu painstakingly collected for the old man: the chessboard was made of extremely rare quince. The wood has a clear, elastic and beautiful color, exuding a resinous fragrance. The chess pieces are cast on it, and its sound is like a pearl falling on the jade plate, crisp and pleasant, and the chess pieces are as stable as Mount Tai. The 361 chess pieces are all carefully carved and polished from crystal clear jade, with white pieces with a slight emerald green color and black pieces with heavy weights. The light is pleasing to the eye, and it is cool and refreshing in the hand, and it feels very good.

Although the whole set of Go is not precious, it is also ingenious, which makes people love it, and it has always been loved by Mr. Lin. On weekdays, I don't show off in front of my old guys. It's not that you're in a good mood, it's absolutely impossible to take it out and use it. I am often so angry that the other old men are blowing their beards and glaring. But I can only sigh that Old Man Lin is lucky, and he finds such a good godgrandson, who calls himself not so fateful? I can't ask for it.

Lin Yu stood lightly five or six steps away, and glanced at this major general who was playing chess with Old Man Lin, only to see that this person was fifty years old, with a Chinese face, a short flat head, a majestic expression, not angry but mighty, just looking at his appearance. More military than his cousins. It seems that a person like him is born to be the life of a soldier.

Lin Yu had never seen this person in his memory, but the person who could come here to play chess with Old Man Lin must also be the old man's old subordinate, and he was not an outsider.

Lin Yu didn't speak, leaning on his lower abdomen with his hands. Standing tall, just standing there and watching.

The major general, who had been paying attention to the chessboard, glanced up at him at this time, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he glanced at the old man again, and saw that the old man did not speak, so he did not say a word, and his eyes fell back to the chessboard.

The staff who was standing far away hurriedly moved a bamboo chair over and placed it next to Lin Yu. They all know that Old Man Lin loves this godgrandson very much, and even the grandchildren of those in-laws can't compare.

Lin Yu was not in a hurry, and after softly thanking the staff, he stepped forward to fill the tea for Old Man Lin and Major General, and made himself a cup of tea without being polite at all, and then sat down on the bamboo chair.

When Lin Yu came in, the two sides had already played more than 100 pieces, and the chess game had entered the entanglement stage, and the chessboard was full of stars and dots, intertwined with each other's chess pieces, black and white pieces were all crystal shining, and even spectacular.

To tell the truth, although Mr. Lin likes to play chess, he often pulls Lin Yu to play two games with him when he has nothing to do, and his chess style is also wide open and close, and he is domineering. It's not surprising to think that Old Man Lin, who once commanded thousands of troops and horses, waved his hand, the mountains and rivers changed color, and the stubborn enemy was terrified, and the awe-inspiring aura exuded from his body seemed to be a tangible substance, penetrating directly into the marrow of people. If the chess style is slimy, it is not normal. But the chess ability may not necessarily be excellent, compared to Lin Yu, who has been good at playing since childhood, it is far from it.

And playing chess with the old man, Lin Yu never kept his hands, and often killed the old man in shock. Later, the old man no longer pulled Lin Yu to play chess, after all, the feeling of being "abused" was really not good. Of course, after playing chess with Lin Yu, the old man's chess skills have also improved a lot, but among the old guys, he is also invincible, and he laughs when he is happy.

Lin Yu's chess strength is already higher than that of Old Man Lin, and with the onlookers, it is easier to see the key point, it is easy to see that this major general is also murderous on the surface, but secretly he is at ease, and his chess strength is obviously higher than that of the old man, but it seems to be deliberately conceded, and it is obvious that the old man has flaws several times, but he has not seen it, but it is not very obvious, and it is not easy for ordinary people to see it.

"A true gentleman who doesn't say anything about watching chess" Lin Yu watched the chess quietly, without saying a word, and even the expression on his face did not change at all, only occasionally picked up the cup and drank saliva gently.

Old Man Lin took a black child, and the other party had a white child in his hand, and was about to fall, when suddenly his eyebrows furled, as if he saw the wonderful and urgent changes in the chess game, and he groaned.

It turned out that the trick of Old Man Lin just now came from stealing from the master when he was playing chess with Lin Yu, and it seemed to be unremarkable at first, but as soon as that son fell, the strange soldiers stood out, and there was a great change, if the other party should not, the lower right corner was lurking in great danger, but if it should be held by a son, another place will be in the midst of a siege. At the beginning, the old man was not less caught in this dilemma.

The major general pondered for a long time, and it was difficult to participate for a while, and finally pushed the chessboard and exclaimed. Chang Qi, shook his head and sighed: "It's still the old chief's chess strength is better, Jinping is not as good as others, and he is willing to bow to the advantage." ”

Seeing that Old Man Lin won, but he didn't have the usual joy and smugness on his face, but scolded with a smile: You stinky boy, you have deliberately let me go several times, are you really old and confused? ”

Seeing that his mind was exposed by Old Man Lin, the Major General's face couldn't help but turn red, and he was about to say something, but he saw Old Man Lin put the chess pieces in his hand on the plate, turned his head, and greeted Lin Yu with a smile: "Xiaoyu, you are here." Look at my trick just now, it's not bad, right? "The eyes are kind, and the gaze is very soft.

The major general also turned his head, his eyes blazing, and looked at Lin Yu.

Lin Yu smiled slightly, stood up, came behind the old man and gently hammered the old man's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Grandpa's natural level is good!" ”

"Come, Xiaoyu, let me introduce you, this is Song Jinping, you can call him Uncle Song."

"Hello Uncle Song!" Lin Yu was also very polite and greeted the major general.

"Ah, you are Xiaoyu, I've admired the name for a long time." Song Jinping didn't dare to hold it up, so he also stood up, looked Lin Yu up and down with great interest, and said with some amazement. As he spoke, he vigorously held Lin Yu's hand and shook it enthusiastically, as if this was the only way to express the emotions in his heart.

In fact, when he saw Lin Yu just now, he had some guesses in his heart, after all, there were few people who could enter and leave Old Man Lin freely. Although he has never seen Lin Yu, at his level, how old and spicy is his vision? Lin Yu's momentum is extraordinary, obviously different from ordinary people, except for this "famous" Lin Yu, who else can there be?

Although Lin Yu is young, he has a calm bearing, is skilled, and has insight into the world, without the youthful frivolity and impetuousness of young people.

"Grandpa, you have guests, I'd better come back later?" After greeting Song Jinping, Lin Yu turned his head and said to Old Man Lin.

He came over this time, and he didn't say hello in advance, so it didn't matter in the first place, he just came to see the old man casually, and so on.

Don't look at the old man who has now taken a back seat, basically no longer cares about national affairs, and almost no longer attends various state events. However, there is still an endless stream of people who come to visit his old man, and there are many people. If it weren't for the fact that the idle people didn't have the qualifications and doorways, and the old man didn't like to be lively, I'm afraid that this quaint and quiet courtyard house would have been a city for a long time, and it would not be peaceful.

But even so, there will still be many old guys and old subordinates who will often come to visit the old man.

Old Man Lin waved his hand and said to Lin Yu disappreciatively: "Xiaoyu, since you are here, don't run around, come and sit with us." Jinping is not a guest, but things have been busy in recent years, and it is rare to have time to come to the capital, and it is also good for you to talk to Jinpei more. ”

Since the old man said this, Lin Yu was not polite, so he sat down next to the old man as usual. Of course, it was easy to fill the tea for the old man and Song Jinping first
