Chapter 388 Hand Talk

"Huh?"

Zheng Chenggong was stunned when he heard this, "Qinchuan Hou ......"

It is said that Qu Shiyun is also a super chess fan, but he didn't expect that he would actually withdraw from Chai Lai in the kiln door today, Zheng Chenggong had to retreat to the second, and his eager gaze turned to Lin Xiao.

However, unlike Qu Shiyun, he and Lin Xiao are not familiar with each other, and he rashly initiates an invitation, he himself feels a little abrupt, in case someone is not good at chess, isn't it difficult for a strong man?

However, he also discovered that in the past few days, whenever he played against Qu Shiyun, Lin Xiao sat on the sidelines and watched the chess silently.

Although Lin Xiao behaves like a gentleman and always watches chess without saying a word, he always watches it with relish and enjoys it, obviously, it can be seen from the expression between his eyebrows that he is also a chess fan, maybe...... Or is it a hidden master?

"Lord Wang...... Then it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate,"

Seeing this, Lin Xiao said generously, "It's just that Lin only knows a little bit about it, and I hope that the prince's subordinates will be merciful......

"Hehe, the Marquis of Qinchuan is too modest,"

Lin Xiao happily responded to the battle, Zheng Chenggong was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to invite, "Master Hou, please!" ”

"Lord Wang, please!"

Lin Xiao smiled and arched his hand, as he should be.

Immediately, the two of them moved, sat on the chess table next to them, and after some politeness, they each twisted up their chess pieces and talked with solemn faces......

……

Zheng Chenggong is not mistaken, Lin Xiao can play chess.

In fact, not only can he play Go, but his chess skills are not bad.

A few days ago, he only watched the game but did not move, because he found that the rules of Go in this era were very different from those of later generations, and for the sake of prudence, he could not make rash moves.

At the same time, he also had to take the opportunity to observe the chess strength of Qu and Zheng, as well as the characteristics of their chess style.

As a fellow practitioner, Lin Xiao understands and agrees with Zheng Chenggong's obsession with Go.

Since ancient times, all dynasties have been compulsory subjects for literati and scholars, and it is the spiritual sustenance of meditation and enlightenment, and it is also a means for a group of dignitaries and dignitaries to climb the phoenix and attach themselves to elegance and raise their identity.

Of course, the "qin" here refers specifically to the guqin, also known as the seven-stringed qin, the qin is far away, it is a representative of elegance, a symbol of status, and it is a bosom friend who is hard to find in the spring and snow, and the rest such as the guzheng and the sheng flute are only played by geisha, and it is difficult to get into the hall of elegance.

Similarly, the "chess" here only refers to Go, and other games such as Chinese chess, bullet chess, backgammon, and Japanese shogi cannot be put on the table.

In many dynasties, as a literate official, he could not draw or play the piano, but if the writing was too ugly, and he didn't know anything about Go and chess, he was embarrassed to go out and greet others.

As a powerful general, Zheng Chenggong has a soft spot for Go, which is also a normal thing, because only the game of the pattern can be regarded as an intellectual strategy, in which the competitiveness is the same as the battlefield fight, and the rest can only be regarded as self-entertainment for the generals.

Unfortunately, in later generations, science and technology are changing with each passing day, there are too many unknown areas to be explored by human beings, and the pace of people's lives is getting faster and faster.

Therefore, Lin Xiao can only play chess, and he knows almost nothing else.

In the military camp of later generations, in addition to the harsh training, the entertainment programs were rarely monotonous, and most of them had to rely on practicing calligraphy and harmonica to pass the time, and they also found someone to play chess to relieve their boredom.

Therefore, Lin Xiao can write beautiful pen characters, but he can't bear to witness the calligraphy with a brush, and music and art can only be appreciated.

However, as early as the age of eighteen, when he was just studying in the military academy, he was madly obsessed with Go.

As for the reason why he became obsessed with Go, it was very simple and bloody, that is, there was a "goddess" instructor who taught them public basic courses at that time, and he was a Go master.

This young single female instructor not only has a lively and interesting teaching style, everyone likes her classes, but the key is that she looks so good-looking!

Whether it is her appearance, figure or temperament, she is impeccable, and even her smile is as beautiful and incomparable as a fairy in the eyes of a group of hairy boys who are new to the world and have excess energy.

Not only that, this female instructor is also a high-IQ intellectual woman, and she wins the championship of the faculty Go competition every year at the school sports meeting......

Naturally, she became the dream lover of her classmates, and some bold and shameless people tried their best to make up all kinds of excuses to talk to this goddess teacher.

In contrast, Lin Xiao at that time had a shy personality and was a master who blushed when he saw a girl, he was not so thick-skinned, and he dared to show his ugliness in front of the goddess recklessly.

However, he also has a crush on this goddess teacher!

What to do?

Since you don't dare to be abrupt, you have a thief's heart but not a thief's guts, so okay, let's also learn Go, at least, I have the same hobby as the goddess, and I have a common language, maybe there will be some opportunities, right?

Therefore, during that time, he bought a large stack of chess books and read hard all night, meditated, and played games with classmates everywhere to learn chess skills......

Fortunately, he has no shortage of sparring partners and people who have the same ideas as him, not to mention half of the department.

In the end, although he finally failed to soak in the goddess, he still gained something in his junior year, he participated in the entry stage competition, easily obtained the amateur preliminary dan certificate, and the following year, he was successfully promoted to the second dan.

After graduating, he left the campus, and his arduous military career never gave him the opportunity to participate in the promotion tournament again, but in fact, his chess ability was roughly at the level of an amateur fourth dan, and he also won the championship of an internal competition in the army.

……

Needless to say, as a chess nerd and a noble chess nerd, the set of chess equipment used by Zheng Chenggong is a rare treasure in the world.

Among them, a squatting solid wooden chessboard placed on the chess table really made Lin Xiao greedy, which was made of gold catalpa wood, and it was a side catalpa.

For this chess table, Lin Xiao was very surprised at first sight a few days ago, because in later generations, this kind of chess table has been lost for a long time and only exists in legends.

Because the wood grain of catalpa wood is extremely delicate, the texture is light and strong, and it is not easy to deform, it has been an excellent material for making guqin and chess sets since ancient times.

At that time, when some noble people played Go, they especially liked to use the chess table made of catalpa wood to play the game, it is said that the piece fell on the top, and under the light tapping, there was a faint sound of metal, and the artistic conception gave people an indescribable enjoyment......

Therefore, the Song people have a good sentence of "knocking on the chess pieces and falling the lanterns", which also makes Go have the nickname of "tattooed table", and the tattooed table is also called "hand talk".

And by hundreds of catalpa pieces bonded into the side of the chessboard, is one of the best, is the only famous plate in Chinese history, its own golden lines, just formed the vertical and horizontal nineteen natural lines, wonderful.
