Chapter 191: Gambling on Chess
Yang Yunqiu didn't care much about the entanglement, and as soon as Xiao Meng went upstairs, he lowered his head again, spread out his pen and ink, and planned to copy a book and take it home to read.
There is no prohibition on copying books in the library, at least on the first floor.
Although it is said that the books on the first floor are rare and precious, and most of them are very ordinary, but it also depends on where it is compared, compared to the library of those cultivation sects, it may be a little worse than a star, but compared with some bookstores outside, it is simply a world of difference, and all kinds of rare books that cannot be found outside are flooded in the palace.
Yang Yunqiu's calligraphy, now said to reach the peak, is not an exaggeration, calligraphy this kind of thing, in addition to talent, or to see the amount of practice, on talent, he is a monk, hands are steady, and the heart is steady, and practice, he has a much longer time than others, really calculated, the practice time is also decades, naturally outstanding.
Since Xiao Xizi, the little eunuch, is serving in the library, of course, he also knows how to read, and he has seen countless good words, but he still can't help but secretly admire Yang Yunqiu's writing.
No wonder people can let the six-grade alchemist choose to be an apprentice, this ability is definitely there.
The alchemist of the six grades, not to mention the little eunuch in the palace, is the concubine in the palace, and even His Majesty does not dare to ignore it, in this world, after all, it is the world of monks.
Yang Yunqiu copied the book for a while.
Someone outside came to report, and Miss Ming came to bring him food.
Miss Ming is the best-looking doll made by Yang Yunqiu, she lives in the side hall of the concubine on weekdays, and the concubine specially chose two palace maids to serve her, because this girl is indeed peaceful. Usually never go out of the house easily. It's just reading and playing the piano. The concubine is not in good health, and she also likes her to be quiet, so she takes care of her.
The puppet was created to summon its owner.
Yang Yunqiu has nothing to do, so he lets his puppet make a few snacks in the small kitchen, simple pasta, porridge and rice, and send it to himself, and it is not a big deal.
Speaking of which, the daughter of a distant relative of An Yushi's family is still an orphan girl. The status is not high, and she can't meet a few people who trouble her in the palace, in fact, although she looks young, she is only in her thirties and forties, and it is when a man is the most attractive, but there are few concubines in the palace.
Now there is also a noble concubine, a concubine, and the rest are nameless and undivided, and he doesn't care much about the harem. All of my heart and soul are in my practice.
He is now the seventh grade, and he is still far from the eighth grade.
Condition shadow from a young age. Cultivation is not as good as his brother, his talent is mediocre, he can only be said to be able to practice reluctantly, he can have the current height, and it is also that he is the king of Yanguo, all kinds of resources are used by him first, any monk, with such good conditions as him, as long as he is not really an idiot, cultivation can also climb rapidly.
He didn't care about the harem, the harem was calm, and few concubines ran out to worry about the puppet lady bewitching the lord, and because of this, Yang Yunqiu's life in the palace was really hateful.
This time, the fragrant food was laid out, and it was even more abundant than before.
'Miss Ming' pretended to be dumb as usual and didn't speak, Yang Yunqiu opened it and looked at it, and at the same time asked Xiao Xizi to add a bowl by herself: "Taste, rice with shredded bamboo shoots, until there is no juice, and you don't have to worry about inadvertently defacing the pages." ”
Today, there is only one dish of shredded plum cabbage bamboo shoots with braised pork, which is very delicious, don't look at it in Yang Yunqiu's opinion, it is a home-cooked dish, but few people in the palace can eat it.
Xiao Xizi was also happy in her heart, so she carefully moved all the books to the place, Yang Yunqiu shook her hand, took out a blue floral tablecloth from her sleeve and spread it, and the two of them took a bowl to eat.
The aroma of the meal diffuses.
There are still a few people reading books on the first floor, and they don't feel hungry, even if they are stingy on weekdays, they also pay for the little eunuch to prepare some snacks for themselves to fill their stomachs.
These little eunuchs in the study building have little oil and water on weekdays, and they can get an extra small income at this time, so they are very happy, Yang Yunqiu was eating, and he heard the footsteps of Xiao Meng on the second floor.
His ears are bright, and it is difficult to forget the footsteps that he has heard once, especially when he heard it just now, Yang Yunqiu didn't look up, but he didn't expect that the footsteps were getting closer and closer, and after a while, he was close to his eyes, and a black shadow was reflected on his table.
"Good food."
Xiao Meng's voice was a little lazy and arrogant.
Yang Yunqiu raised her head.
Xiao Meng only stared at the puppet, his eyes were a little bright, looking at her dress, he hesitated at first, and when he saw that the puppet was standing up and putting the dishes in Yang Yunqiu's bowl, he suddenly understood, and then turned his head, stared at Yang Yunqiu and said, "How much is your maid?" ”
Kiko was stupid.
In fact, the entire bookstore was stupid.
How could anyone play this in the palace? What they saw on weekdays, even those crazy talents, trembled when they entered the palace, and they didn't dare to take one more step or say more than half a word.
Now it's good, there is an idiot, no, there is another one who has been implicated, and may soon become an idiot, and he actually competes for a woman in the study building, in the favorite place of the former great master!
Xiao Xizi sighed in her heart.
Of course, Yang Yunqiu couldn't hear the slander of the little eunuchs, ate the rice, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and wanted to tell this person, if you want, give me 3,000 crystal coins and give it to you, anyway, all the materials plus one piece is only 2,000 crystal coins, cheap.
Of course, you can't say this now, just say: "This is not for sale, if you want, you can go to my house and pick again, there are three more, and the appearance is a little worse than her, not too much." ”
It's not that Yang Yunqiu is indifferent, the question is whether these are puppets, or puppets without spirits, to put it bluntly, there is no intelligent machine, and you have to control everything you ask her to do.
If it weren't for the dolls, it would be of little use to be able to control it remotely.
Xiao Meng was stunned, obviously he didn't expect Yang Yunqiu to say this, suddenly frowned, and sat down beside Yang Yunqiu: "I have a crush on her, and I want her, I want her now, you make a price." ”
He was stunned and didn't find out, from beginning to end, that Ming girl has always been a gentle and shy adopted son, as if she didn't see him, where is normal?
"Or not. I'll trade this crystal chessboard for you. Look. The chessboard is given by His Majesty, and you are also a monk, when you know that this chessboard can regulate the breath, it is really rare, and you will not suffer if you change it. ”
Speaking in his mouth, Xiao Meng's gaze lingered on the puppet's face, obviously he couldn't bear to look away, he really liked it. Not only do I like the face of the doll, but I am simply dissatisfied with her hands, feet, and body.
Yang Yunqiu was afraid that he would see the problem after looking at it for a long time, so he simply moved, and Miss Ming stood up, bowed, and left without saying a word. He didn't look up at Xiao Meng at all.
Xiao Meng's eyes were almost glued to the puppet, and he was reluctant to give up. sent her out of the door step by step, and when she came back, her face flushed: "No, I'm going to decide this girl." ”
Yang Yunqiu glanced at this person in surprise, swept his gaze, and saw a small jade carving pendant around his neck, which was a half-moon-shaped small thing, very inconspicuous, but Yang Yunqiu glanced at it and found that this thing was full of aura, and his eyes flashed: "It's okay, you use the jade pendant around your neck in exchange." ”
Xiao Meng was stunned and raised his head suddenly: "......!?" ”
Hearing Yang Yunqiu say this, the contempt in his heart unconsciously restrained a little, "Do you know?" Then he added, "Impossible." ”
This thing, how can a young man know, what did Emperor Wen suspect about the great teacher Yang Jingting, everyone doesn't know the specific situation, but the people of the Liuyue Palace say that the great teacher is the emperor's fate, and the life of the real dragon is definitely a big reason, the Liuyue Palace makes everyone in the world believe it, isn't it because they have obtained a few treasures from thousands of years ago, they can calculate the number of fortunes, and they will not be counterattacked, and the things hanging around his neck are the amulets worn by the heirs of the Liuyue Palace back then, and they were also made by the treasures of thousands of years ago. It's precious.
Yang Yunqiu smiled: "It's very beautiful and very useful, just used to drive away bad luck for a friend of mine, if you change it, I just need it, forget it if you don't change it." ”
It's okay to change it, he can get another one, of course, it doesn't matter if he doesn't change it, anyway, he took a lot of effort to make a puppet, and it's the first time to do it, and it's quite commemorative.
Xiao Meng gritted his teeth and looked at him for a long time, and suddenly slapped the table: "Do you know how to play chess?" ”
"Briefly."
Yang Yunqiu smiled, and vaguely guessed in his heart what this person wanted to do, and sure enough, "You and I play a game of chess, if you win against me, I will give the pendant away, but if you lose, give me the maid you brought just now, and I will ask for the one just now." ”
Xiao Xizi secretly reached out to pull Yang Yunqiu's sleeve, as if killing a chicken, wiped his neck and glared, and muttered in a low voice: "Don't agree, Xiao Gongzi's chess can be tied with His Majesty." ”
Obviously, being able to control the chessboard and level the situation shows that this person is clever.
Yang Yunqiu just smiled: "It's not okay to take too long to play chess, I still have something to do, and I need to play fast chess." ”
Xiao Meng sneered: "It's all up to you." ”
He is clearly very comfortable with his chess skills.
Other people on the first floor also unconsciously gathered around to watch, and many people laughed when they saw that they were going to play chess.
Someone else whispered: "Why should Xiao Gongzi bully people, last year, the great master said that if you follow your own path step by step, you will definitely be able to enter the Tao in the future." ”
Xiao Meng's face suddenly showed a bit of self-satisfaction.
The doll looked sympathetic: "Playing chess or something, Brother Qiu shouldn't bully people too much." "In fact, Yang Yunqiu plus the doll, playing these 'games' that require brain calculations, even if the real chess master goes to earth, the possibility of losing is very small.
No one can win in chess, but Yang Yunqiu's grasp is still very large.
The doll plug-in is the most powerful in such a thing.
The two of them sat down to play chess, at first Xiao Meng really didn't take Yang Yunqiu in his eyes, not to mention that Yang Yunqiu was so young, he just met those old chess players in the palace who had played chess all their lives, and he had always had to let the other party have three sons in order to be able to play, in terms of chess, I think he was so abusive that the genius of Tianxiu Valley who was born with a sword spirit did not dare to play chess in front of him for three years.
But he didn't expect that when he reached the middle game, he suddenly found out - this guy is not a mediocre player!
The two of them played fast chess, and Xiao Meng didn't think that the other party had any strange tricks in chess, but it was decent and there was nothing peculiar, but after continuing to play, he found that this person's chess path was very accurate, there were no mistakes, and the chess game was so fast that he didn't have time to think about it carefully, it all depended on intuition, but he didn't have a bad move.
Xiao Meng himself can barely guarantee that he has no bad moves, but until now, his spirit is fully concentrated. Even the aura began to mobilize. The sweat on his forehead was already running down his neck. It can be said that he is exhausted, but the other party is still calm and relaxed, and even his posture has changed a little, so he took out the folding fan and fanned it, obviously he was depressed in the idle library.
The two of them, at least Xiao Meng was playing chess with all his energy, and at this time he had forgotten his original intention, just meeting his opponent. The whole person was excited.
Yang Yunqiu saw that he was so excited, and he raised his eyebrows unconsciously - he seemed to be a bit of a bully.
In terms of chess power, Yang Yunqiu himself is not weak, he is also very fond of this, he is saying, a person's cultivation is high enough, and his brain power is naturally good, he fights Xiao Meng alone, and it is not difficult to gain the upper hand, plus the doll ...... It's just too much of a bully.
In the Diligent Palace.
It's rare to have leisure. In the game with Xiao Meng just now, he fiddled with it for a while. After a little thought, I figured out that there were some mistakes in myself.
"Zheng Mu, where is Xiao Meng?"
An old eunuch who trembled slightly opened the door, bowed his body, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty is looking for him, I got the news just now, he is playing chess with a disciple of an alchemy master recommended by Lord An to come in." ”
"Oh?"
The situation was stunned for a moment, and then he became a little interested, "Xiao Meng is a scoundrel." ”
There are many people in Yanguo who are good at gambling, they can gamble on anything, and Guo Ying occasionally likes to gamble, and when he heard that Xiao Meng was gambling with others, he naturally felt that he was fooling people.
"Xiao Meng's kid won a few times."
"Back to Your Majesty, it's not over yet, Xiao Langjun is two sons behind, and he is still catching up."
At this moment, the situation was stunned, and there was a bit of surprise on his face, so he couldn't help but get down from the couch, put on his clothes and walked out: "Let's go, go and see." ”
At this time, there are very few entertainment programs, and it is also a very interesting thing to have a wonderful game to watch, even if it is an emperor, he does not want to miss it easily.
"I can compete with Xiao Meng in chess, and I have the upper hand, okay, I have a hand."
You must know that Lu Dao, this is a world where monks are rampant, and a person's strong chess strength at least shows that his cultivation is not weak, and his spiritual power is not weak, and it cannot fully represent his cultivation, at least one or two can be seen from it.
Xiao Meng himself was a monk of the four grades.
Yang Yunqiu can beat him, even if his chess skills are superb, at least he has to be a fourth grade.
Don't see Fu Ning like this, he achieved the seventh grade at a young age, and he felt that the sixth grade and the seventh grade were not valuable, in fact, the seventh grade was already quite valuable, and the biggest hope of some monks was only to reach the sixth grade before he died, to be reborn, to prolong his life, and then buy them some time for themselves.
When he arrived at the study building, he stopped the palace people's report, and he took an old eunuch with him, and walked into the door, and as soon as he entered, he saw a large group of people gathered in one place.
Obviously, there are still a lot of idlers in the palace.
The shadow shook his head, a little amused in his heart.
Naturally, there are palace people who separate the flow of people for him, and they huddle him in, and people have taken the initiative to avoid it as soon as they see His Majesty, but the chaos is not chaotic, this His Majesty often walks around in the palace, in fact, those who can stay in the palace for so long now are mostly people who often enter and leave the palace, and there are definitely a lot of times they meet His Majesty, not to mention, some often accompany him.
Guo Ying has never been a bad emperor, before he became an emperor, he was very quiet, and he never made trouble for others.
As for the two who played chess, there was no movement.
Xiao Meng simply focused all his attention on the chessboard, as for Yang Yunqiu, he saw the situation for the first time, but he didn't move at all.
As for respecting the imperial power or something, in this world, I'm afraid no one cares more than Yang Yunqiu, who can let a man who once sat on that dragon chair suddenly respect that chair, he can pretend to be on the face, which is already very face-saving.
Seeing Yang Yunqiu at a glance, his whole body stiffened, not only him, but the old eunuch beside him trembled, but he still reached out very firmly to support his master's back.
Taking a deep breath, Kuangying lowered his voice and asked, "...... What's his name? ”
Yang ...... Yang Yunqiu. ”
The old eunuch, who has always been calm and calm, rarely changes color, couldn't help but stumble: "Your Majesty, it's the old slave's fault, the old slave is actually ...... I didn't even find it. ”
Jing Ying took a breath and shook his head calmly: "It has nothing to do with you...... Who would have thought? "Even if this old eunuch is the ears and eyes of Guo Ying, but he has eight pairs of eyes, it is impossible for him to care about what an alchemist's apprentice invited by a noble concubine looks like.
Although his heart was shocked, the situation quickly recovered, and the whole person became calm and relaxed again, and he even lowered his head and studied the chess game seriously.
"Well, Xiao Meng also played at a super level this time, which is very good."
In the past, when Xiao Meng played chess with him, he always had to master the rhythm, it was not good to chase and fight, the chess surface should be good-looking, and he could not let His Majesty play boring.
At this time, he and Yang Yunqiu played, of course, there were no scruples, and the chess game became more and more exciting.
The end of a game of chess.
Yang Yunqiu won the two sons.
The onlookers exhaled in unison.
Both of them are masters, and the game is really exciting, although it is rapid, but it is not easy to maintain a beautiful chess surface with such a fierce play.
Xiao Meng was stunned for a long time, the expression on his face was very distorted, he looked very cool, and he was a little unhappy, glanced at Yang Yunqiu, frowned, and said, "Let's play again, this time we won't play rapid chess." ”
Yang Yunqiu first pointed to the pendant around his neck, Xiao Meng thought about it, and then remembered the bet, without saying a word, he ripped off the thing on his neck, put it on the table and pushed him over, and said: "Let's play again, let's play another game." ”
"The problem is that I'm hungry." Yang Yunqiu put the things away casually, and when she saw that the other party was about to change her face, she said with a smile, "Don't worry, I won't leave for a while anyway, let's make an appointment tomorrow, as long as you have something of the same quality, no matter when, I will accompany you."
