Su Gongzi smiled, it was hard to say anything, and then said: "I also heard that there is a lively scene to see in the capital, so I entered Beijing first, this time I heard that the five national players were recommended by Brother Shi Jian." ”

Lin Duowen said that he only found two, and three were found by Lin Shaowen.

"The credit of Nian Xiu is only known to you, who is a younger brother, but between you brothers, what is the difference in whose merits."

Su Gongzi had some sighs, thinking of the intrigue between his brothers, it was inevitable that he was a little sentimental.

Lin Duowen said that he didn't have the intention of taking credit, but now the victory and defeat have not been distinguished, if these five people lose and lose the face of the heavenly family, then it is okay to apologize alone.

If it is the luck of inviting heaven and defeating Xiuce, then the merit will be played and Lin Shaowen's credit will be commended.

When Su Gongzi heard this, he had some doubts, and said to Lin Duowen: "This Xiuce is really so powerful, can't the five national players join forces to win?"

Lin Duowen nodded, told Su Gongzi, and briefly talked about Xiuce's matter, Su Gongzi sighed: "This person has perseverance, and he can really achieve everything." ”

Lin Duowen didn't agree with this point of view, he told Su Gongzi that this person must first have talent, so that he is interested in studying hard, if he has no talent, it is like reading the book of heaven, then even if he has perseverance, he will not be able to succeed.

As they talked, the front suddenly became lively, and they couldn't help but go over curiously, it turned out that a chess building had opened.

The name of the chess building is Yipin Teahouse, the name is not familiar, the most important thing is that there is a notice posted on it, Zhang Dewang, the king of chess in the north, is here to guard, as long as he can win, the prize money will be increased tenfold. A tael of silver as the base

This is also a tael of silver, and if you win, you can get ten taels of silver.

Naturally, many people can't ask for this kind of good thing, and they have never heard of the name Zhang Dewang, so in order to make money, naturally many people challenge it.

Seeing their enthusiastic appearance, Su Gongzi put away the fan and said to Lin Duowen: "Brother Shi Jian, you and I will go in and have a look and see what this chess king is capable of." ”

Lin Duowen was fine, so he walked in with Su Gongzi.

This Zhang Dewang has a rich body, and he doesn't look like a chess player, but like a rich man.

Dong Beihai took a look and said to Lin Duowen: "This person's martial arts are good. ”

Lin Duowen nodded, he didn't care, at this time Xiao Er said to them: "Third master, if you want to watch the chess king play chess, please take a little tea money." ”

Lin Duowen took out a silver ingot, and after Xiao Er took it, he hurriedly said, "Master, please above." ”

Xiao Er and they took Lin Duo to the second floor, and then found a place close to Zhang Dewang and sat down.

When Zhang Dewang went upstairs, he glanced at Dong Beihai and seemed to be a little surprised, but when he saw Lin Duowen and Su Gongzi dressed gorgeously, he was relieved.

Next, many people came to challenge, and after Lin Duowen and Su Gongzi saw it, Su Gongzi said in a low voice: "This person's chess strength is not weak, although the chess king is a little exaggerated, but he is also a master." ”

Lin Duowen nodded, so he found Xiao Er, Xiao Er saw Lin Duowen looking for him, and hurriedly ran over and asked, "Master, what is the matter with you, is it that the chair is not suitable, do you want to change the seat for you." ”

Lin Duowen said no, he asked Xiao Er: "Why have I never heard of the name of this chess king before?" ”

When Xiao Er heard this question, he said to Lin Duowen: "Master, you are the big master, I just told you, what is the origin of this person, we don't know, my master saw that he was indeed a good player at chess, so he gave him the title of chess king." ”

When Lin Duo heard this explanation, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly, and asked Xiao Er to leave first, and in the next few games, the chess king won very easily, so no one came up for a while.

Taking advantage of this free time, Su Gongzi walked to the chessboard, asked people to move the chair away, and moved his original chair over, after Su Gongzi sat down, the chess king said to him: "This Xianggong, I don't know how much you winning?" ”

Su Gongzi took out the silver ticket from his sleeve and asked the person who recorded next to him to count it, and after the man counted it, his voice trembled a little and said, "One ...... Thousand...... Two pieces of silver. ”

Hearing this amount, the shopkeeper soon came up and said to Su Gongzi: "This master, we can't accept such a big bonus." ”

"Shopkeeper, why worry, if you win this game, won't the capital of this teahouse come out?"

"Master, you're joking, with your master's ability, how can you lose?" The shopkeeper is not a stupid person, he knows that anyone who can take out a thousand taels is not a good stubble, even if he wins, this thousand taels of silver cannot be put in, and he must spit it out steadily.

If he loses, he will definitely not be able to run away with this ten thousand taels of silver.

——————

This kind of harmless thing, the shopkeeper is naturally unwilling to do it. Therefore, he insisted on refusing to accept the winnings.

"Well, since the shopkeeper is not interested, then I will play casually with this chess king."

The shopkeeper said yes, and at this time Su Gongzi said: "Everyone, I don't want people to watch like monkeys when I play chess, and I ask you to go down, and this tea money is mine." ”

Naturally, everyone didn't dare to say anything, and secretly speculated about the identity of Su Gongzi in their hearts.

After these people went down, Su Gongzi and Zhang Dewang guessed first, and Zhang Dewang said to Su Gongzi: "This prime minister, you go first." ”

Su Gongzi didn't let him go much, and said, "Are you here to eat mixed rice?" ”

"Yes, I won half of the winnings."

"With your chess ability, wouldn't it be better to go to the chess academy."

"These Xianggong, the chess academy is not so easy to enter, I know a lot of chess skills, because of their background, they have been unknown all their lives. And those talented Confucian scholars can only sigh that they have not met Huai Cai, let alone us chess players. ”

"Then you can find the noble family and ask for a path to promotion."

"Is the noble family like a staff member? This is even more difficult, Xungui is walking around the stage all day long, Penglai meets immortals, how can they enter their eyes of qin, chess, calligraphy and painting? ”

Zhang Dewang said this, and Tizi said: "You are a noble like Xianggong, and you have such chess skills, which is already admirable." ”

Su Gongzi smiled and said: "You eat my son, and you say that I have good chess skills, isn't this hurting me?" ”

Zhang Dewang said that he is a straightforward person, what he thinks of and what he says, what is rude, and asks Su Gongzi for forgiveness.

Su Gongzi said to Zhang Dewang: "If you play chess with Na Xiuce, you have a few chances of winning." ”

"The small ones can only go to the second layer, but the small ones know that the Central Plains is rich in resources and outstanding people, and it is not difficult to find a Shengxiuce. It's just that this can win Xiuce, but it is unknown and dies in the countryside. ”

When Zhang Dewang said this, he said to Su Gongzi: "This minister, you should cut me off here." ”

Su Gongzi shook his head and said, "Yes, but there are no regrets, let's continue." ”

The little one continued, and the little one heard that the five national players were all hidden in the people, and they were nameless, thanks to the wisdom of Dingbei Hou, they were discovered. If there are a few more Dingbei marquis in this court, presumably there will be no five to one this time. ”

When Su Gongzi heard this, he nodded and said: "Indeed, like a corporal like Dingbei Hou, there are too few virtuous men who choose merit and ability, but are there really many strange things among the people?" ”

"Actually, Xiao was thinking in his heart, why didn't the imperial court let us poor people come to help the saints, and Lord Xun could enjoy them with peace of mind."

When Su Gongzi heard this, he couldn't help laughing, he was ready to refute, but he didn't know how to refute, so he had to change the topic and said to Zhang Dewang: "You should actually hide your strength, just better than them, so that they will think that you are easy to deal with, and then they can make you money." ”

"This minister is right, and the shopkeeper also told me so, but I am now the king of Northern Chess, if the king of Northern Chess is like this, wouldn't it be a joke."

Su Gongzi looked at Zhang Dewang's serious appearance, knowing that Zhang Dewang was telling the truth, he originally wanted to laugh, but he also became awe-inspired.

When it came to the middle game, Su Gongzi abandoned his son and admitted defeat, stood up, took out a silver ticket and said, "This is the lottery money, you have put it away." ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly came over to thank him, and at this time, someone from the post house recognized Su Gongzi and hurriedly said, "Su Gongzi, the little one has asked you to say goodbye." ”

Su Gongzi looked at him and asked who he was, this person said that he was from the post house, Su Gongzi smiled and said: "That's convenient, you go to find a few people to move my salute to Dingbei Hou's mansion, I am going to live in Dingbei Hou's mansion for a few days." ”

"Yui."

After the people in the post house left, the shopkeeper hurriedly walked over, handed over the silver ticket, and said respectfully: "Su Gongzi, the little old man has no eyes, you can come to the little old man to play chess, it is the little old man's ancestral tomb that is smoking." This one hundred taels of silver, please take it back. ”

"He is very good, this prize money is his, and do you think this son is reluctant to even pay a hundred taels of silver?"

After Su Gongzi finished speaking, the shopkeeper looked at Lin Duowen and said, "This master, could it be the Marquis of Dingbei?" ”

Lin Duowen didn't answer, it was a tacit acquiescence, and at this time Zhang Dewang was moved and looked at Lin Duowen.

"Little Lao'er is really damned, I don't know how rude and rude your two are here."

Seeing the shopkeeper say this, Lin Duowen said that they were originally here to play, so there was no need to be polite.

Su Gongzi was also reluctant to stay longer, and after leaving here, Su Gongzi called a carriage and told the coachman to go to the Rouge River.

"Brother Shi Jian, I have already heard about you and the Twelve Golden Hairpins, brother."

Lin Duowen said that there was nothing, and he was embarrassed to say it.

"This is the demeanor of a celebrity, but your brother doesn't like Pingkang. But come to think of it, his wives are all beautiful and fragrant, how can this rouge vulgar powder get into his eyes. Su Gongzi couldn't help but laugh and said.
