Chapter 2: The Master of Taoyuan

In the past few days, Wang Yunzhi has not made the slightest move, but he has been uncharacteristically stuffy in the room, and he has not eaten much all day.

On this day, Mrs. Wang specially took a cotton silk moon white pleated skirt with a good texture for Xiao Han, and then saw that Mrs. Wang and Wang Yunzhi were both dressed in plain white clothes, not the kind of plain clothes of filial piety but an elegant and elegant moon white.

"Xiao Han, you are so beautiful", when he saw Xiao Han change into the moon-white pleated skirt, Wang Yunzhi's bitter face showed surprise, and the amazement made him stunned, "I really responded to the sentence 'Hibiscus out of green waves'!" He knew that Xiao Han didn't like to be called a beautiful sister, so he changed his words and called her Xiao Han directly.

In the days when Xiao Han first woke up, her body was so skinny that she seemed to be a little younger than her age, even if she looked good, she was covered up a lot by that broken thinness. These days, she has grown a little, her skin has gradually become smoother, and her face has become more and more open, coupled with this fairy-like moon-white pleated skirt, coupled with the coldness and indifference of the whole body, it seems that she has a refined charm.

Mrs. Wang stared at Xiao Han and nodded with satisfaction, as if a jade carving that she had carefully carved could finally take out her hand.

Xiao Han followed behind Mrs. Wang without saying a word, and her face was still as cold as the moon in the cool night. She didn't show any curiosity, or she didn't wonder why they were dressed like this or where they were going next, even though Wang Yunyi's sad face always appeared before her eyes.

Following Mrs. Wang and Wang Yanzhi, Xiao Han sat in a spacious carriage with them, and the carriage staggered from side to side. The carriage was very silent, and even Wang Yunzhi, who spoke the most on weekdays, pursed his lips and didn't want to say a word.

Xiao Han closed her eyes, but she still felt a gaze that was extremely appreciative of the goods circulating on her, and she knew who this person was without opening her eyes.

She never believed that there would be people in the world who would do something without interest.

The carriage stopped, and the three of them got out of the carriage with the support of the slave, and when they got out of the carriage, they saw a quiet and elegant mansion. This house is not big, but it is very hidden, and it is also quiet because of the concealment, and even every brick and tile is bubbling and elegant!

Ordering the servants to stay outside, Madame Wang personally pushed open the door of the house. I could see that the house was very quiet, because there was not even a maid to guard the door. Also, if there are slaves, it seems that this house is troublesome and vulgar.

Although there was not a single servant, the house was clean and spotless. There wasn't even a trace of dust in the air, only wisps of fragrance wafting into the heart.

Following Mrs. Wang, Xiao Han and Wang Yunzhi walked through a bamboo forest path. When the bamboo shadows around him faded, Xiao Han's eyes brightened a little.

The three of them stopped, and saw a man in front of them, also dressed in moon white, with a long figure and his hands facing away from them. You don't need to look at this man's face, just look at the elegance of his whole body to know that this person is by no means mediocre.

The man turned gracefully, but his face was still hidden under the moon-white mask.

At first glance, he saw Xiao Han at the first glance when he turned around, the moon-white pleated skirt and the cold fairy aura made it difficult for him to take his eyes off, although he was just a child, but the temperament on his body was impossible for even adults to have.

"Master of Taoyuan." Looking at the man's gaze condensed on Xiao Han's body, Mrs. Wang smiled with satisfaction.

The owner of Taoyuan turned his eyes, chuckled, and no longer looked at Xiao Han, and asked, "What does Mrs. Wang mean by this, didn't you say that it was only Xiao Langjun?" ”

Mrs. Wang still said gracefully to the aura of the master of Taoyuan: "The woman is not ignorant, the master of Taoyuan does not accept female disciples, and the woman also knows, but it is not very safe to put this child elsewhere alone, so the woman took it upon herself to bring this child here, and I hope that the owner of Taoyuan will not blame!" ”

The owner of Taoyuan stared at Mrs. Wang, and a smile of unknown meaning flashed at the corner of her mouth, at this time, didn't Mrs. Wang plan to spread out her calculations, she was stupid when he was stupid, and she was stupid when she was that little girl?

The owner of Taoyuan smiled, his eyes turned away, and he only said: "It can be seen that Mrs. is still attentive, and she is wearing moon-white brocade clothes." ”

After a pause, the owner of Taoyuan suppressed his smile: "It's just that although I like the white moon, I don't like Mrs. to tarnish this color." Except for that girl, you are really not suitable for my moon white! ”

The owner of Taoyuan was a little angry, this Mrs. Wang was sometimes a little self-righteous, first threatening him with a previous sentence to give her son a chance, and then keeping careful thoughts about using the little girl.

"That's it", the owner of Taoyuan sat on the bamboo couch with his sleeves brushed up, and did not look at Mrs. Wang, but only set up the chess game by himself, and said, "Since I promised to give Wang Xiaolang a chance, I will not break my promise." Let's go to the couch! ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Wang pushed Wang Yanzhi. Wang Yunyi stepped forward with a sad face and made a gesture, and then breathed a sigh of relief and knelt on the bamboo couch with his legs.

"It's only one game, if you can't eat my thirty sons, it's over!" The owner of Taoyuan said casually while placing the chess pieces.

In fact, don't underestimate these thirty sons, the master of Taoyuan has the best chess skills in the world, and few people can beat him. It is because these thirty sons are also very demanding for young children, of course, thirty sons are also the minimum standard for the owner of Taoyuan to accept apprentices, no matter who is always impartial thirty sons.

The owner of Taoyuan has always liked white the most, and he is always playing with white, so Wang Yunzhi is holding on to sunspots. The owner of Taoyuan is very light-hearted, and he treats this game as leisurely and leisurely as drinking tea and drinking every day.

After all, it is a child, Wang Yunzhi is much more nervous, the opponent is the world's best Taoyuan master, and he has a good and relaxed mentality, he is worried that his palms are sweating with nervousness.

Every step, Wang Yunzhi is carefully considered; At every step, Wang Yunzhi considered the number of Taoyuan masters.

The white and black children are placed on the chessboard and make a "click" sound, and the house is already quiet, so the sound is also exceptionally clear. It was a quiet and pleasant environment, but at this time, Wang Yunzhi was like a boulder, he had never had such a great pressure, as if the air around him could make his hand tremble as long as it shook slightly.

Even Mrs. Wang was a little nervous and worried when she watched from the side.

Four people, one leisurely clinging to the white child, one nervously holding on to the sunspot, one standing worriedly, and the other watching indifferently and quietly.

Twenty sons, twenty-one sons, twenty-twenty-two sons, twenty-nine sons, only the last son is missing, as long as one more son is done, this last son is very important, and Wang Yunzhi can't help but sweat more and more.

The owner of Taoyuan glanced at Wang Yan, with a slight mockery in his eyes, not that he hated Wang Yunzhi, on the contrary, he thought that it was unusual for a little immature child to be able to hold his twenty-nine sons, but he was really disgusted with Mrs. Wang's style, and he didn't like Wang Yunzhi even with it.

"Click", a white child fell, the owner of Taoyuan waved his sleeves and got up, and said indifferently: "You go." ”

Wang Yunyi looked at the chessboard with a dead face, and his immature little face was so white that it didn't look good. The last son, the master of Taoyuan killed him so that he had no way to enter and no way to retreat, he was stiffened to death, and he failed to survive the thirty sons after all. Wang Yunzhi looked up at his mother, whose face was pale and blue, and his desperate eyes seemed to be hazy with tears.

Yoonzhi is still just a child after all, and it's good to be able to maintain this appearance.

"Hmph". The owner of Taoyuan snorted coldly, not caring about Mrs. Wang, who had a bad face, and Wang Yanzhi, who was at a loss. He flicked his sleeves and walked away with a light foot.

"Master Taoyuan, what do you think of the girl?" Mrs. Wang was forced to be anxious, and her tone was not as gentle and polite as Fang Cai, but it was a little harsh at this time.

The master of Taoyuan stopped suddenly, he turned around and looked back at Xiao Han, who was still indifferent, and then he sneered again: "What, Madam is willing to have a showdown?" ”

Mrs. Wang restrained Fang Cai's fierceness and panic a little, and said unhurriedly with a graceful expression: "Ah Han is more than six years old, don't you think that it is extremely rare for a six- or seven-year-old doll to look like this?" ”

"So what?" The owner of Taoyuan sneered in his heart, he wanted to listen.

Xiao Han stood beside him and said nothing, there was no panic or panic in his expression, he was still very cold and calm, not at all like the posture that a child should have.

"Ah Han has the appearance of a celestial man, especially the cold breath, presumably Mr. also noticed it, and looked at Ah Han at first sight", Mrs. Wang said calmly and slowly, as if she had a great grasp, "If Mr. is willing, Ah Han can go with Mr. Yunyi!" ”

Xiao Han suddenly raised her eyes and looked at Mrs. Wang, and sure enough, she guessed correctly, she was indeed a transaction. Her eyes were cold and indifferent, but she still didn't say a word.

The owner of Taoyuan did not answer, it seems that he may be considering Mrs. Wang's suggestion, after all, such a child is rare, not to mention the dusty face, and that cold temperament is unique in the world.

"Mother", Wang Yunzhi understood the meaning of his mother's words even if he was a child, so he hurriedly said, "Xiao Han is not a thing, how can you trade her!" ”

"Permission!" Mrs. Wang scolded, looked at Wang Yanzhi with sharp eyes, and motioned for him to shut up.

Wang Yunzhi had always been afraid of his mother, so he lowered his head and didn't dare to speak anymore because he was scolded by his mother, so he only whispered to himself: "Xiao Han is so good, he can't be an object, he can't!" ”

Hearing this, the owner of Taoyuan glanced at Wang Yunzhi, and then stared at Xiao Han, and finally his eyes stayed on Mrs. Wang. He said contemptuously: "Madame is saying that if you accept Wang Xiaolang, then this girl will be given to you?" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, the owner of Taoyuan fixed his eyes on Xiao Han, and he wanted to see what kind of posture this girl was. I saw that Xiao Han was still as indifferent as a clear spring without ripples, as cold as a spotless moon in a cold night. Her eyes weren't on anyone, as if they weren't talking about her.

"If the gentleman answers, so it is!" Mrs. Wang smiled at the corner of her mouth, as if she was already completely sure of this matter, and she dared to bet that the owner of Taoyuan would definitely agree.

As soon as Mrs. Wang's words fell, the owner of Taoyuan sneered, and after laughing, the owner of Taoyuan calmed down and said: "This girl is good, and I like it, but I really hate Mrs. Ran's various practices!" ”

Huo Ran was taken aback, Mrs. Wang frowned, she really didn't expect the Taoyuan master to be like this, she really didn't expect that she was already deeply disgusted by the Taoyuan master.

"Yes, I don't plan to make Mrs. happy", the owner of Taoyuan flicked his sleeves, and his voice became more and more angry, "Mrs. is better to do it herself!" ”

After that, he turned around and strode out of the bamboo forest, his steps were brisk and windy, his clothes were fluttering, and the moon-white brocade robe was like flowing water, which showed that his angry departure did not save face for Mrs. Wang.

Madame Wang was stunned, and she didn't know how to ask for it, she had already aroused this person's disgust. It's just that this person didn't fall in love with Xiao Han at first sight, and he should want to take her away, doesn't it mean that the owner of Taoyuan is extremely persistent in the things he loves, even if he is extremely disgusted with himself, he will compromise with himself!

Just when the figure of the owner of Taoyuan was about to disappear in the bamboo forest, the voice of a cold and indifferent young girl suddenly resounded in the courtyard: "Thirty moves, can you let Xiao Han give it a try?" ”

Xiao Han's voice was inherently cold, and with these words, he was a little old and not like a child's yellow mouth at all. Moreover, Xiao Han is solemn and cold, and people can know at first glance that this girl is not like an ordinary laughing and playful child, so this is a sincere statement!

Hearing this, the owner of Taoyuan actually stopped his pace, but he still didn't turn around, only heard the voice with a smile: "Don't ask for a yellow mouth, although you are outstanding, you are not a child of divine power!" ”

Looking at the footsteps of the owner of Taoyuan who wanted to lift up again, there was a gurgling mockery in his cold and indifferent voice: "Playing with you, can you use divine power?" I'm afraid you're arrogant! ”

Xiao Han's words turned out to be disdain for the owner of Taoyuan, where did the owner of Taoyuan receive this kind of contempt, not to mention that this contempt came from a young girl with drooping hair, so he was also angry in his heart.

He turned around and walked towards Xiao Han, his eyes under the moon-white mask looking at Xiao Han deeply. Xiao Han was not afraid, his eyes did not dodge for half a minute, and he met the angry gaze like this.

When he completely walked to Xiao Han, the owner of Taoyuan sighed in his heart, this girl is so smart, she knows how to use the radical method at such an age, and she is almost fooled. So, the owner of Taoyuan calmed down the anger in his heart a little, and said neatly: "Girl, it is useless for me to provoke the law. ”

He had already imagined in his mind that Xiao Han was at a loss and ashamed to be exposed, or he was terrified during the period of speech.

However, after all, he still underestimated this girl who was less than seven years old, Xiao Han, who should have been a child of the same age.

Xiao Han's words were all gentle, and his expression was calm, where was the so-called helplessness.

"The real is virtual, the virtual is real, how does Mr. know that this is only a radical general?" These calm and mysterious words actually came from the mouth of Xiao Han, a young girl with a hanging hair, and the owner of Taoyuan is now more and more curious about this little girl.

Curiosity is curiosity, the owner of Taoyuan still thinks that Xiao Han is making a radical move, so he almost teasingly said to her: "Oh, the girl still has a defense? ”

Xiao Hanqing's cold and indifferent face could not see any other superfluous trace of affection: "The king is confused, there are real scholars who dare to make a plan to provoke the general, otherwise it will be humiliation, and now Xiao Han dares to make the king think that the general will show that Xiao Han can fight with the king!" ”

Xiao Han's words are indeed reasonable, but the owner of Taoyuan still doesn't believe that the drooping young girl in front of him has such a ability, and this time she is just a child's yellow mouth. However, this girl's sharp teeth really surprised him, and he thought that a cold and indifferent tongue would not work.

The owner of Taoyuan shook his head and no longer looked at Xiao Han, flicked his sleeves and walked away, and said: "Girl, you can also be good at arguing, but there are so many people in the world who want to play with me, how can I play against Xiao'er today!" ”

This is said proudly, but what the owner of Taoyuan said is also the truth, and it is also the capital of his pride.

Xiao Han was still very cold and indifferent, not at all flustered by the words of the owner of Taoyuan, as if she, a childish girl, could make the famous owner of Taoyuan agree!

Sure enough, the gentle footsteps of the master of Taoyuan stopped, because Xiao Han said: "You can play with everyone in the world, but you can't!" ”

Seeing the figure of the owner of Taoyuan stopped, Xiao Han suddenly stopped talking and only stared at the figure fixedly. At that time, the quiet surroundings seemed to be covered with a layer of tension and oppression.

Suddenly, the owner of Taoyuan came back again, his steps were not as dignified as the original lightness, and the light that looked at Xiao Han was also bottomless, and the eyes looked at Xiao Han so directly, and his eyes all revealed the meaning of inquiry, and even completely ignored Mrs. Wang and Wang Yunzhi next to him.

Seeing that the eyes of the owner of Taoyuan had changed, Mrs. Wang hurriedly pulled Xiao Han and said, "Ah Han, don't be presumptuous, don't mess with Mr." ”

Who knew that Xiao Han didn't pay attention to Mrs. Wang, but met the inquiring eyes straight and unresistantly, and said, "Xiao Han can make the king play against himself." ”

Stopping in front of Xiao Han, the owner of Taoyuan looked down at the young girl who was up to his waist and abdomen, and saw the elusive wisdom in his crystal clear and cold eyes. Huo Ran, he chuckled with relief, and said loudly: "Okay, girl, I agreed, thirty sons, still thirty sons!" ”

After that, the owner of Taoyuan sat straight on the bamboo couch, still holding the white child. Xiao Han also waved his complicated clothes and sat in the place where Wang Yunzhi was sitting, holding the sunspot in his small and thin hand.

"Xiao Han." Wang Yunzhi looked at Xiao Han with some shrunkenness, he had always been good at chess, but he was still no match for thirty, how could this cold Xiao Han in front of him be over thirty, he couldn't help but be a little worried about this sister who looked like a fairy.

In fact, Wang Yunzhi should be worried if he doesn't believe it, Xiao Han is just a six-year-old childish girl, but she looks better and has a different breath, so she is so wild.

Xiao Han has always been cold and indifferent, so he didn't pay attention to Wang Yunzhi, and only looked at the owner of Taoyuan indifferently, quite a young man. She said coldly and lightly: "Your Majesty, please." ”

The owner of Taoyuan stared at her, shook his head and snorted helplessly, and with a "click", a white piece fell on the chessboard.

The sunspot was sandwiched between the index finger and the Chinese character, and Xiao Han also fell with a "snap".

The spring is slightly precipitous, and the east wind is gradually rising, which can't help but make people feel a little urge to wrap up their clothes. However, the two people on the bamboo couch looked like they couldn't feel the chill of early spring at all, and only concentrated on pondering every step on the chessboard. Especially Xiao Han's indifference of being a teenager and an old man added to the calm.

With the fall of a sunspot, the thirty sons have been realized. Wang Yunzhi looked at Xiao Han in surprise, as if his jaw was about to fall. She really did it, and it wasn't a yellow mouth!

The owner of Taoyuan also moved his gaze from the chessboard to Xiao Han's face, his eyes were extremely solemn, you must know that he is doing it step by step. Where did he rack so much brains when he played chess with others, but now he is playing with this female baby is restricted everywhere and besieged everywhere, the chess field is like a battlefield, although it is quiet, but the waves are very turbulent, no less than a fierce battle. People can't look good, this girl's path is really the same as her own, but her own path is complicated and changeable, no one in this world has ever really understood her own path, is this girl a natural talent, born with a strong comprehension? The Taoyuan owner's eyes were half-narrowed, and there was endless doubt and exploration in his eyes, and he didn't see the initial lightness at all. He kept looking at Xiao Han, but the movements in his hands did not stop due to the restrictions of the thirty sons, and he still fell calmly. Xiao Han didn't mean to stop at the point, and still followed the owner of Taoyuan.

It is extremely difficult to play against the master of Taoyuan, such as Xiao Han, a young child should be ecstatic to do this, but this unusual young girl is still a cold and self-contained and calm and calm, where to see excess colors, it can be said that her expression and behavior are not unusual.

Mrs. Wang was also very happy on the side, she only knew that this child was very beautiful and elegant, but she didn't know that she was so capable, and the curvature of the raised corners of her mouth could no longer be controlled.

It was eerily quiet, except for the sound of "clicking" pieces as they landed on the board. Suddenly, a "pop" sound resounded through the courtyard, but there was no similar sound.

The chessboard is full of chess pieces, and it can't be said that the master of Taoyuan won or Xiao Han won, and no one side in this game of chess can go through again, so the situation can only be a draw.

The owner of Taoyuan looked at Xiao Han who was sitting quietly, this girl was still very quiet, she didn't like it, and the cold and indifferent emanated from the inside out. This girl is really extraordinary, maybe she is really talented!

The chess was over, but the two still didn't mean to get up. There was silence around them, and even the sound of breathing could be heard. The owner of Taoyuan kept staring at Xiao Han, very puzzled and eager to explore.

"Girl, how much have you learned chess?" The owner of Taoyuan finally broke the silence and asked solemnly.

Facing the inquiring eyes, Xiao Han replied lightly: "Just watch and learn from the sidelines!" ”

What, I actually understood it after watching the game, and it is still so exquisite, what is this genius? The Taoyuan owner's lips couldn't help but tremble a little, the talent of Tianzhong is rare in the world, he has already received a talent of Tianzhong, it is difficult to meet another one so good as luck.

He was very careful, he had to be sure that this little girl was a genius, so he suppressed a little excited voice and said, "How can you draw with me?" ”

Staring at the master of Taoyuan without blinking, Xiao Han did not have a trace of affection in his eyes, he was still cold and indifferent, and said: "Junshang's chess skills are extraordinary, but only the spear of the king can attack the shield of the king!" ”

A trace of excitement slipped through the heart of the Taoyuan master, but then he suppressed it, and he continued to say calmly: "Go on." ”

"In that game, I just watched from the sidelines, and then I mastered the number of ways in the king's way nine out of ten."

"That's it?"

"That's the only way!"

"Okay", the owner of Taoyuan suddenly stroked his palms and laughed, his surprise and pleasure were beyond words, but his reaction really surprised Mrs. Wang and Wang Yanzhi.

I heard him continue to sigh aloud: "What a good one to attack my shield with my spear, nine times out of ten!" You come with me. ”

After saying that, he got up and walked towards a house, and Xiao Han also followed. Only Mrs. Wang and Wang Yunzhi were left looking at each other, and they didn't know what the owner of Taoyuan was selling.

I don't know how many hours have passed, but I only know that from dawn to sunset, the owner of Taoyuan appeared, and Xiao Han followed behind him.

Although it was covered by a moon-white mask, the excitement of the owner of Taoyuan was still very obvious. Before Mrs. Wang could speak, the owner of Taoyuan opened her mouth, and her originally steady voice trembled at that time, and she seemed to be very excited: "If this girl is not a genius, I will not accept the Wang family's Xiaolang!" ”

Mrs. Wang was stunned, did the owner of Taoyuan agree to accept this?

Genius? The owner of Taoyuan said that Xiao Han is a genius, what is this?

However, the most important thing is that the owner of Taoyuan agreed, so Mrs. Wang said happily: "Thank you Taoyuan master!" ”

The owner of Taoyuan said to Mrs. Wang, and half of the excitement was hidden in his heart. He didn't appreciate Mrs. Wang's affection at all: "I said, if it weren't for Xiao Han, I wouldn't accept Ling Lang!" ”

Mrs. Wang was a little surprised by the attitude of the owner of Taoyuan, so she didn't look at Xiao Han behind her, could it be that it was really Xiao Han's credit. So, she smiled lovingly and pulled Xiao Han and ordered: "Ah Han, you must follow the master of Taoyuan in the future!" ”

Xiao Han just looked at Mrs. Wang, staring at her face indifferently with bright eyes. Ban Xiang said expressionlessly: "Madam, my mother has no close friends in the boudoir!" ”

Suddenly, Mrs. Wang's lips moved, but she could no longer say the words that asked her to live well. Xiao Han stared at her expressionlessly, there was nothing else in her bright eyes except coldness, and she didn't even seem to be disgusted with Mrs. Wang, but under such a gaze, Mrs. Wang's lips and tongue were dry, and she couldn't say a word.

Xiao Han looked away, glanced at Wang Yunyi, and said, "Let's go!" ”

Wang Yunzhi is a spirit, he can follow the master of Taoyuan, Xiao Han took the initiative to talk to him for the first time!
