Chapter 6: The Sea of Sinking and Floating (18)
    " is just a game of chess. Shu Xun Xun is you, I have our own skills. Jingyi said.
    " Yes, Miss Ten. Zhichen never looked up, just stared at the chessboard.
    Jingyi beckoned, let the old mother come in, and asked for a pot of tea.
    Tea is up, and Zhixi's move hasn't been taken yet.
    Jingyi held the teacup in her hand. As soon as his eyes opened from the chessboard, he took a sip of fragrant tea.
     no longer hesitated, and the white son in his hand fell.
    ". Jingyi put down the teacup and couldn't help but say.
    . Kuroko's advantage is not small, and this can't be regarded as his credit.
    Jingyi glanced at it, followed and went down, still fixed in the northwest corner.
     also fell quickly.
    After a few rounds, Zhiyi continued to consolidate his mid-game advantage, and Jingyi tried to reverse the decline in the northwest.
    Jingyi knew that Zhiyi was not an easy opponent to deal with, and she had to give it her all. By this time, she had forgotten about her physical discomfort...... The sky gradually darkened, and it was already time to hold the lights, and the two sides were able to decide the winner.
    Jingyi shook her somewhat sore neck slightly.
     is too focused and inactive.
     Counting the work, she reached out and touched the teacup, and the tea was already cold.
    The old mother saw that she wanted tea, so she hurriedly changed the heat and said, "Miss, the ninth young master just called and asked Miss if she was better?" I replied to the Ninth Young Master and said that the young lady was playing chess here, and the Ninth Young Master said that he would come over in a while. ”
    Jingyi nodded to indicate that she understood, and asked, "Mrs. didn't ask?" ”
    "Mrs. asked Miss Cuixi to come back, and when she saw Miss playing chess here, she only told us to be careful, and did not say anything else, saying that if Miss is better, it is okay to rest in the room, you can go to dance, and if you go to listen to the play, remember to sit with Miss Hui'an of the Jiang family. The eldest lady asked Miss Seven to accompany Miss Jiang, but Miss Seven didn't listen to the play, for fear of boreking Miss Jiang. The old mother replied.
    Jingyi nodded.
    Hui An doesn't dance, she already knew that.
    Hui'an came to live for two days, and the action was with her, and the two got along very well.
     finished counting, and said, "Miss has won." ”
    "Two and a half eyes. Pyrrhic victory. Jingyi said. She stood up, looked at Zhixin, and said, "I have accepted." ”
     said: "Miss Ten does have a trick, and she is willing to bow down." ”
    Jingyi pointed at the center of the chessboard and said, "Can't you see it?" That stupid move, where is your path? ”
    "Just one wrong move, and you lose all the games." No regrets, always. This is chess, but also life. Zhi Yan replied.
    Jingyi was about to walk out of the water pavilion, when she heard this, she stood down and looked back at Zhiyi, who bowed her head slightly.
    She asked the old mother to walk in front with a lantern and motioned for Zhixi to follow.
    "This game of chess has a chance to finish with the third brother. Although the third brother may not use my 'strange move', I will not make a 'stupid move' like you. Jingyi said.
     called her: "Miss......"
    Jingyi smiled and said, "Just talk about it, play chess with him again, I don't know what year, month, and when?" Even if there is a chance, who will remember this game of chess? ”
     I don't know what to say.
    Jingyi had a smile on her face, but her tone was indescribably desolate.
     is like the night wind in early winter, blowing, I don't feel anything at first, but after a long time, I feel that it is cold through the bones......
    "It's tiring to play chess with you. I'm going to take a break, I'm going to dance at night. If you faint again at the ball, you can't do it. Jingyi was stunned when she looked at her, so she said.
    "Miss, take care. Zhixin finally said.
    Jingyi looked at him for a while and said, "Of course." ”
    After she finished speaking, she went back to her room.
    Zhichen stood in front of her door for a moment, walked a little farther away, stood in his usual position under the porch, and saw Miss Ten's window light up from a distance.
    The electric light in the yard was turned on by the old mother, and the lamp under the corridor reflected his figure into several intertwined strips, stretching a long ......
    ……
    Cheng Zhishen came out of the back door of the banquet hall and stood holding on to the pillar for a while before steady.
    The servant saw that he seemed to be drunk, and hurriedly came over to help, and he waved his hand.
    The dinner is coming to an end, most of the guests who love to listen to the opera go to the opera, those who love to dance go to the ball, but there are some people who drink or talk about it here. He originally wanted to relieve the third brother from the siege, but his alcohol consumption was not good, or the third brother saw that he was not strong enough to drink, so he broke him away and dealt with those people himself. He listened to the loud laughter in the banquet hall and the clattering of wine glasses, and only felt the smell of wine surging upwards, so he discerned the direction and walked down the steps, ready to find a place to sober up.
      Along the way, he met guests from time to time, and he had to stop to deal with it, but fortunately he drank too much wine, but the shape was not lost.
    Who knew that he had walked for a long time, always looking at the rockery and not moving, standing for a while, only to know that he had been going around the rockery pond for so long a day, and had not been able to find a room to lie down, he couldn't help but be a little annoyed, so he simply found a place to sit down, tilted his head, and looked at the sky from the lanterns hanging on the trees.
    The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, exhale, white flowers.
    He looked at it for a long time, felt more sober, and was about to stand up, but he heard the sound of cheerful music, looked around, and remembered that across this wall was the Hall of Regrets, where the ball was held tonight. Just listening to the music from afar, I feel very lively. He took a deep breath, a little unrefreshed.
    "Young Master...... Young master, young master, my master, I can find you! Cheng Yi caught up and was cautious.
    "What are you looking for me?" Zhi Shen asked, shook off his hand, and didn't need him to hold it.
    "I looked at the three seas you drank and wondered if you could get drunk. You disappeared when I turned around, and I was worried, so I hurriedly chased it out, and asked all the way, and said that you came here...... Don't sit here, watch the cold. Cheng Yi helped him up, "I'll help you to rest in front, how about sobering up?" ”
    Zhishen took two steps, looked at Cheng Yi, and asked, "What about them?" ”
    "Who? Cheng Yi couldn't figure out what Shen Shen was asking.
    "My cousins-in-law. Zhi Shen said.
    "Didn't see you, at the prom?" Both of them have arrived, and they have heard that they will have to change three sets of clothes tonight, and one in an hour. In addition to the time for changing clothes and makeup, you can dance three dances...... Tut-tut, young master, I have seen a lot of this dance, and it is rare to watch the bride dance, and the bride dances three dances......" Cheng Yi didn't finish speaking, and was cautiously pressed by his neck, "Oh, my master, I know that you are going to beat me again, and sooner or later I will treat you into a crooked neck tree!" ”
    "***, Hu! Is the bride going to dance, the bride is just going to give people praise today. Zhishen smiled and said, "Are there still three dances?" ”
    "Quite a few...... But young master, Miss Jiang is also here, aren't you going to ask Miss Jiang to dance? Cheng Yi asked in a low voice.
     Zhishen didn't seem to hear it, walked through the screen door, and asked, "Where is Miss Ten?" ”
    "Miss Ten hasn't come out yet." Cheng Yi said, and walked cautiously to the back hall of the Xiyin Hall.
    A few people were standing in a place chatting under the back hall, and when they saw him from afar, someone shouted, "Is it prudent?" ”
    "Young Master Kong is here. Cheng Yi had a good look in his eyes, and first recognized that it was Kong Yuanxuan who spoke among the few people, and then he said, "Young Master Jin is also here, and the others are ...... The second master of the Tao family, the seventh master...... Yo, the Seventh Master is here too. Why are these old people hiding here? ”
    Cheng Yi's low voice can only be heard by Zhi Shen, but he does not dare to slack off at his feet, and helps Zhi Shen to go up the steps.
    "What's the matter, this is drunk?" Third brother is overjoyed, are you happy? ”
    Zhi cautiously heard that the person who spoke was Duan Fengxiao, but Cheng Yi didn't pay attention to him.
    He stood behind the Tao brothers, was blocked, showed his face at this time, smiled and joked: "I haven't seen a lot of fathers and sons, just you are so bad, drink a little wine on your face." ”
    "Second Brother Duan, don't stand and talk without backache, you go and drink with the military masters outside the Guanguan to drink a sea and a sea?" Zhishen stood down and said with a smile.
    Hand comparison, how big the sea is.
    Several men laughed out loud in unison, as if they had heard some joke, and laughed very happily.
    "That's how they drink from outsiders. You have to follow their rules wherever you go, or I'll turn against you. Last time, I went in standing up and carried it home. Tao Si laughed and patted Zhishen's shoulder.
    His big palm was thick and heavy, and Zhishen was a little dizzy, and he almost fell crooked when he slapped him. Tao Xiang was closest to him and reached out to help him.
    Zhishen waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I'm fine." ”
    Kong Yuan smiled and said: "My brother-in-law and I slipped away after a little stop, and we all drank a lot at luncheon, so we couldn't hold back and come back." I have to be sorry for the third brother. ”
    Jin Biquan smiled, and her gold-rimmed glasses shimmered.
    "They are all working hard according to the third child, I think the third child is going to be drunk and lie on the battlefield tonight. Duan Fengxiao said.
    All the people present were men, and Duan Fengxiao didn't have any scruples when he spoke.
    After a moment of silence, a burst of laughter erupted.
    Tao Si said: "It can't be like this, it's Xiao Dengke tonight, and it's too drunk to be reasonable." Besides, I'm still waiting for him to do the opening dance. Fengxiao, let's go over and have a look. ”
     "Hey, such a good thing, you don't look for your seventh brother, just call me." Duan Fengxiao was swallowing smoke and spitting smoke, squinting at Tao Si.
    "Are you going?" Tao Si stretched out his hand and pulled Duan Fengxiao's ear, which really made him pull it, and Duan Fengxiao screamed.
     Zhi cautiously watched the two of them suddenly become a pair of living treasures, and for a moment he thought he was drunk and dazzled.
    "What about Miss Nine, Ten?" Better? Tao Si pulled Duan Fengxiao to leave, remembered it, and asked cautiously.
    Tao Xiang was turning his head and talking to Jin Biquan, ignoring them.
