Chapter 1037: A Great Fortune (I)

Chen Gongchuan led Zhao Xing through the city in a hurry and came to a large manor on the western outskirts of the city. He seemed to be very familiar with this place, and explained a few words to the doorman, and without informing, he led Zhao Xing to the backyard.

Chen Gongchuan was in a hurry, but Zhao Xing was a little reluctant. Because the scenery of this courtyard is so beautiful, he will not want to leave.

This is a typical Chinese-style courtyard, with pavilions, small bridges and flowing water in the Han and Tang dynasties, revealing the graceful style of Jiangnan everywhere; A small stream is obviously imitating the Lan Pavilion of the Wei and Jin dynasties, with lush forests and bamboos, and clear streams and turbulent reflection belts left and right, which is regarded as a flow of winding water...... Presumably, the owner of this garden has imitated the Wei and Jin celebrities before, maybe this is a Vietnamese Quzhen drink.

I heard that Vietnam's architectural level is the best in Asia, and they built the Forbidden City in Beijing. History: Zhu Di, the king of Yan (Emperor Yongle of the Ming Dynasty), set the capital with a fief, and in the second year of orthodoxy (1437), he ordered the craftsman Nguyen An of Jiao Lu (now Vietnam) to "build the city of Beijing, the nine gates, the two palaces and three halls, and the Gongyu ...... of the five mansions and six departments".

In other words: the Forbidden City in Beijing, in the Ming Dynasty, was a typical Vietnamese building, full of exotic styles.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xing looked at the beautiful garden in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a secret pain in his heart - the Ming Dynasty was not far from the Song Dynasty, but at that time, there were no Tang Dynasty-style buildings in the country, and now, the Song Dynasty buildings he saw, after a "national integration", how many can be left?

Chen Gongchuan didn't know Zhao Xing's feelings, he led everyone through this bamboo forest, and his eyes suddenly brightened. In the backyard that resembles a large school yard, thick weeping willows are planted along the wall, and under the weeping willows, six small high platforms are built on the left and right. In the center of the field encircled by the high platform, there are two teams of people fighting, one team wearing red and the other team wearing black.

The twelve platforms are not large, and are shaped like observation decks, or like the referee's seat of a modern volleyball game. The area on the high platform is about the size of half a basketball court, and there are men and women on the platform, and from time to time there is laughter, they are standing with umbrellas, or sitting on the seats, all stretching their necks to watch the fight between the two teams on the school field.

Chen Gongchuan led Zhao Xing and Pu Yi'an to one of the platforms. Zhao Xing wondered as he walked, he heard that in the Han Dynasty, Vietnam was briefly ruled by the Romans, when did they also become infected with the habit of the Romans, who liked to watch massacres and gladiatorial performances?

The two teams of soldiers standing in the middle of the field were very strange, they were dressed like the Japanese Warring States samurai that Zhao Xing saw in the movie, with a small flag behind them, and some big handwriting was written on the flag...... However, those words seemed to be Chinese seal characters, and Zhao Xing was not very familiar with seal characters, and under the breeze, he couldn't see what the characters were.

The soldiers behaved strangely in the field, although the red and black teams were fighting face to face, they did not have fierce fighting movements, they just stood face to face, and only when a person on the platform waved the flag, they walked a few steps along the fixed route...... It doesn't seem to be a gladiatorial fight, could it be that the Vietnamese are practicing the formation of troops?

Zhao Xing followed Chen Gongchuan onto the stage, and Pu Yi'an followed him very honestly.

It was a platform dominated by female guests, and there were three young girls on the platform, all of whom were sitting on a pouff mat, holding a fan in their hands, and constantly pointing and pointing down. There was also a group of maids on the steps, who stood there with their eyebrows bowed, quietly waiting for the summons.

In addition to these three girls, there was also a gorgeously dressed young man standing on the stage, he was wearing a gorgeous Shu brocade robe, and the style of the clothes was completely Song-style. The three girls on the stage were sitting, but he was the only one standing on the edge of the stage, constantly pointing and pointing at the middle of the stage.

Chen Gongchuan first greeted a woman in a white shirt in the field: "Sister, I brought you a guest, he is a **** lifter, or a protégé of Master Su, how about it, sister, come on, I will introduce you." ”

The three women got up to greet each other, and they sang a promise to Zhao Xing without leaving the square inch, and when they got closer, Zhao Xing saw the faces of the three women clearly.

The woman at the head was dressed in a plain white silk robe, with a faint sketch embroidered on the cuffs and neckline, dressed very elegantly, her skin was as white and tender as milk, her eyes were bright and full of spirituality, she winked at Zhao Xing, and said naughtily: "**** lifter, so tall, are **** people so tall?" ”

The two women beside her immediately covered their faces with fans and snickered. The fan covered their faces, and Zhao Xing only saw two pairs of big eyes flickering by the fan.

Tall? Indeed, the Vietnamese are no more than one and a half meters tall, and Zhao Xing stands in the middle of them, almost like an elephant standing in a herd.

The brocade-clothed young man on the side of the stage turned around and said hello to Chen Gongchuan, Chen Gongchuan seemed to be very familiar with him, and immediately shouted: "Li Gongzi, who won?" ”

After a pause, he immediately introduced to Zhao Xing: "This is Li Yuan, the son of the firewood stick defense envoy, the word Qingshu, this is the **** son Zhao Xing, the word ......"

Zhao Xing replied casually. He doesn't think the name "Childe" is anything special, because in modern times, the title "Childe" has been weakened to the point that children dare to call "Childe" with a little money in the family. But Pu "Yi'an behind him heard this title, and immediately changed color, he rushed forward, gave a deep salute to Li Yuan's son, and introduced himself: "The Great Song Dynasty Thorn Tong (Quanzhou) Hu Shang Pu Yi'an has seen Gongzi, and he can see it today, and Sansheng is fortunate to ......"

Seeing Pu Yi'an so solemn, Zhao Xing was taken aback, and immediately thought of a word - "Gongzi Wang Sun". In ancient China, "Gongzi" and "Wang Sun" and "Gongsun" are equivalent words, perhaps, the word "Gongzi" has not been weakened in the Song Dynasty, it is still consistent with the meaning in the ancient language, which means: "Gong" "Jue" "son", "Wang" family "grandson".

Li Yuan replied lightly to Pu Yi'an's greetings, and he seemed to see that Pu Yi'an was holding himself hostage to the Great Song Dynasty and calling himself a merchant of the Great Song Dynasty, but he did not dare to say that he was a Hu merchant of the Abbasid Dynasty. He greeted Pu Yi'an perfunctorily, and then solemnly saluted Zhao Xing: "**** raised a son to come to our country, and my country is full of admiration, Li Yuan is deeply honored here......"

Zhao Xing hurriedly saluted with the other party, Pu Yi'an retreated, and when he was about to retreat, he leaned close to Zhao Xing's ear and gently reminded Zhao Xing to pay attention: "The king of Dayue is surnamed Li, who was originally an immigrant from Fujian, and the firewood stick defense envoy is a prince; The surname Chen is also a Fujian immigrant ......"

Sure enough, it's a "childe".

Pu Yi'an's voice was very slight, Li Yuan didn't care about what this person said at all, he beckoned Zhao Xing to come to the stage, pointed to the "fight" in the field, and said enthusiastically: "Brother Liren is from ****, you must have a little research on chess, help me take a look, this game of chess is played here, how is the outcome or defeat?" ”

Chess?

Human image chess?

As soon as this word was said, Zhao Xing suddenly became enlightened.

It turned out that the field was not a fight between the two armies, but a game of "human image chess". No wonder their actions are so strange, no wonder the words written on their backs and flags are very familiar - that is, "pawns, elephants, rooks, horses, cannons...... No wonder the Chu River and Han borders are drawn in the field, and those grids are chess boards.

Looking at the flat ground, I couldn't see the entire layout of the chess, so I walked to the edge of the platform and looked down condescendingly, and the grand momentum of the whole chessboard came to my face.

Zhao Xing looked at the chess situation and shook his head slowly.

He has been a good boy since he was a child, and in order to cope with the college entrance examination, almost all entertainment projects have been missed by him. For chess, he only knows the basic moves, but he has never done in-depth research on how to play them. He didn't know when Xiangqi was invented, and he didn't know that in the Song Dynasty, Xiangqi actually spread to Southeast Asia and became the most popular "fashion" there.

Well, there is no such thing as "fashion" yet, the word "fashion" was born with the introduction of Chinese buttons to the West, it was the Mongols who passed the buttons to the Arabs, and then they were brought back to Europe by the Crusader knights, and thus, fashion was born!

In this game of chess in the field, it is obvious that two masters are playing, the fight has reached the end, and the chess pieces are mixed together, how can you see the winner and loser with Zhao Xing's level. "Master, definitely master...... I don't study this thing much, I can't see the depth, and I don't dare to judge", Zhao Xing replied pretending to be profound.

Li Yuan Gongzi nodded slightly disappointed, and asked curiously: "What is the rule of Gongzi?" Is there an old Psalm? ”

Zhao Xing was a little ashamed, but he replied honestly: "I'm not familiar with the Four Books and Six Classics, and I don't have a lot of love for poetry and articles, so I can't get any old works." ”

Chen Gongchuan's eyes widened, and he seemed to be embarrassed by Zhao Xing's answer. Li Yuan frowned slightly, and asked patiently, "Then what are you good at?" ”

Zhao Xing's answer was very loud: "I am good at helping the people, I am good at organizing and coordinating, I am good at doing business and getting rich, I am good at teaching and educating people, and I am good at planning and innovation...... In short, I'm much better at it, and I can't say it for a while. ”

Li Yuan's eyes widened in surprise when he heard Zhao Xing's words; Chen Gongchuan had already covered his face with his hands, I don't know if it was because of the sun, or because Zhao Xing's cheekiness made him feel embarrassed to meet people; The three girls on the stage were already laughing. Zhao Xing and Pu Yi'an didn't smile at all.

Li Yuan gasped for a while, he turned his face away, and asked Pu Yi'an without asking Zhao Xing: "Pu Gangshou, is Brother Liren really a disciple of Master Su?" ”
