Chen Zilong and Wang Yan are both people who have a lot of worries, because they have insight into the actual situation, they wake up alone when everyone is asleep, but Wang Lunlan is powerless to change the general trend, and his heart is extremely depressed.

Xia Wanchun is a big ghost, and he is depressed about his teacher Chen Zilong all day long, and he is anxious in his eyes, so he has always wanted to make the teacher more relaxed.

Seeing that there was a newcomer in Meixianglou to perform today, he immediately agreed, Chen Zilong was quite helpless when he saw this, but he also knew that Xia Wanchun was wholeheartedly good for him, and he was also very kind to Li Zhenli's invitation, so he acquiesced.

Wang Yan saw that it was still early, and he saw a talented young man, who was full of enthusiasm, so he stayed at the moment.

Everyone followed Li Zhenli to the lobby, and there were already many people seated inside, and they were all famous rich sons and literati in the south of the Yangtze River.

When everyone saw a few people coming in, they didn't care at first, and talked to themselves, but when they saw that Chen Zilong, a famous man with excellent poetry, was also among them, they changed their previous attitude and looked sideways.

Chen Zilong nodded slightly to the people he knew, and then led the group to sit down in front of the tables and chairs arranged on the side in the eyes of everyone.

Wang Yan looked around and found that this Meixiang Building was really completely different from other places, not like a green building, but more like a place where literati and artists gathered.

Everyone sitting in the party is a long shirt and square scarf, brocade clothes, and extraordinary appearance, so that Wang Yan, Liu Shun, and Qian Yifeng look a little nondescript.

But he didn't care, he just joined in the fun.

The lobby is divided into two independent rooms by a gauze curtain, the outer room sits Wang Yan and others, and the inner room is a place for beautiful women to play.

After Wang Yan sat with everyone for a while, he saw a figure shaking behind the curtain, and then a sound of a clever kite sounded.

It was only at the beginning that Wang Yan was attracted by the sound of the piano, and many literati in the outer hall who were originally talking softly also suddenly quieted down with the beating notes.

When Wang Yan was in Beijing, he studied the rhythm, and as soon as the sound of the zheng, he knew that the performer was extraordinary, and with the ethereal sound, Wang Yan couldn't help but slowly fall into the world of the sound of the zheng.

Mountains and rivers meet bosom friends, and the sound of the guzheng is nature.

The skills of the performer are very superb, without a trace of craftsmanship, every touch, are crisp and sultry like deep valleys and secluded forests, every scrape, are free and excellent like clouds like water, every shake, are frightened like a storm, the sound of the zither is all natural.

Unconsciously, Wang Yan forgot the troubles in his heart, and with the sound of the zither, he saw the top of the high mountain, surrounded by clouds and mist, fluctuating, and saw the flowing water, long and clear.

A song of mountains and rivers has come to an end unconsciously, and Wang Yan has experienced a faint sorrow and the sadness of the death of a confidant.

Towering ambition in the mountains, oceanic ambition in flowing water!

At the end of the song, everyone sighed a lot, and when they were surprised by the superb skills of the piano player, they suddenly felt a sense of bosom friend in their hearts, as if they were the Zhongzi period that the piano woman was looking for.

"The girl's piano skills are superb, which can be called everyone, I Zhu Guobi admires it, and I invite the girl to see it."

"The late Wang Zhiping is polite!"

"The girl's piano sound is fascinating, Cai Guoqian, who was born in the late years, has a lot of research on music and rhythm, and is willing to become a bosom friend with the girl."

Obviously, in order to replace Li Xiangjun, this newly cultivated woman in Mei Xianglou aroused everyone's strong interest with just one song.

Wang Yan also learned from Xia Wanchun that these people who were impatient to witness the faces of the women in the inner hall were not ordinary scholars, but there were many sons of Chinese dukes, scholars, and bachelors.

The highest official position among these people is Zhu Guobi, the Duke of Baoguo, who has married Kou Baimen, one of the eight Yan, but today he still comes to Meixianglou to join in the fun, and he is romantic, which can be imagined.

Among these people, although Zhu Guobi's official position is high, others are not bad, like Wang Zhiping and Cai Guoqian, who are the sons of ministers, naturally they will not let anyone, not to mention that this Qinglou is a place of jealousy, and the contradiction at the starting point is harmless.

At this time, seeing that everyone in the outer hall wanted to see the little lady in the inner hall, Li Zhenli hurriedly came out to appease and said: "Adults, sons, and don't be impatient." ”

When everyone saw Li Zhenli come out, they quieted down and listened to her.

"Xu Niangzi knows that I have outstanding people in the south of the Yangtze River, and there are many literati, and you are all talented and talented." Li Zhenli first raised everyone high, and then continued: "Everyone wants to see Xu Niangzi today, but Xu Niangzi is lacking in skills, so naturally she can't receive them all, so she set up four competitions, called piano, chess, calligraphy, and painting." ”

"This piano is for you to compose a song, chess is a game with Xu Niangzi, and the book is a poem." Li Zhenli explained to everyone: "Painting? Naturally, it is a painting. After the four competitions, will choose the best one to see. ”

"What do you think?" Li Zhenli said with a smile.

When everyone heard this, the literati would naturally not refuse such an opportunity to show their talents, and although those sons who lacked ink were unhappy in their hearts, it was not good to raise any objections, after all, they couldn't say: "Hey~ Compared with what piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, let's directly compare money and father!" ”

Seeing that everyone had calmed down, Li Zhenli retreated to the inner hall again.

After a while, the two little maids hung a large chessboard on the wall of the outer hall.

"Ladies and gentlemen, who will play against my Xu Niangzi first?" A maidservant saluted the crowd.

Hearing this, there was a commotion among the many sons, and many people were already eager to try.

"I'll give it a try and play a game with Xu Niangzi!" A literati man in his thirties stood up and said.

When those sons saw this person stand up, they all quieted down, and Wang Yan couldn't help but be curious when he saw this.

"This person is Song Zhengyu, a famous scholar in Jiangzuo, with superb chess skills and few enemies!" Chen Zilong on the side said with a smile.

At this time, the little maid set up a small chessboard in front of Song Zhengyu's table, and then staggered two black and white seats on the four corners of the chessboard, then raised her hand slightly and said, "Please!" ”

The seat has been set, it is not good to borrow the horns to stick to it, just like a group of heroes chasing the deer, must think about the Central Plains, and must not be in a corner of peace, Song Zhengyu insisted on black first, and he already had a strategy in his heart, he picked up a sunspot and clicked it.

Seeing that he was settled, the little maid hurriedly put down a sunspot at the corresponding place of the big plate on the wall, and after a while, the white son of Xu Niangzi in the inner hall was also placed on the big plate.

It is a good thing to have the privilege of watching Jiangzuo's famous saint Song Zhengyu play against others, not to mention playing against Xu Niangzi, the new entry of Meixianglou, at the beginning of the chess game, everyone concentrated on watching with bated breath, not daring to miss a trace of detail, and even Wang Yan was quite interested in observing.

There are constantly black and white chess pieces on the board, Song Zhengyu holds the black first, Xu Niangzi responds one by one, although calm, but after more than ten hands, Song Zhengyu still maintains the advantage of the first hand, and after the two of them play dozens of hands, the advantage of the first hand is still not reversed.

After these dozens of moves, Wang Yan and others have already seen that although Xu Niangzi's chess skills are superb, she is still slightly inferior to Song Zhengyu.

After more than 100 hands, the battle gradually became fierce, although Xu Niangzi had wonderful hands from time to time, which was amazing, but she still couldn't break the disadvantage, and was eaten by Song Zhengyu in two white places, and she was already in trouble."Xu Niangzi is afraid that she is going to lose, and Song Zhengyu is worthy of the name of the Holy Hand." Everyone watched the situation nervously, and many people were already worried about Xu Niangzi.

When it was more than one hundred and fifty hands, Xu Niangzi's disadvantage became more and more obvious, and Song Zhengyu put down a sunspot quite proudly, and had already formed a pincer attack on Baizi, wanting to cut off Baizi Dalong in one fell swoop.

Xu Niangzi was unable to support it at this time, the defeat was decided, everyone was thinking hard about countermeasures, to see if there was a way to crack it, but Xia Wanchun on the side suddenly said: "There is room on both sides, why fall in love with the middle!" ”

Hearing this, Wang Yan couldn't help but be stunned, and when he turned around, he saw Chen Zilong glaring angrily at Xia Wanchun, and he couldn't help but laugh in his heart, this kid is talented and simply a genius, but he is too restless.

That Song Zhengyu was about to win, and he said this, and there were many changes, if he lost in the end, Shilin said that he was defeated by a young man, then he should not be angry to death.

With this reminder, the suddenly became cheerful, and the chess path suddenly changed, and a wonderful piece was clicked, which not only made the white son open, but surrounded a small piece of black.

Seeing this, Song Zhengyu couldn't help frowning, with a hint of anger on his face, he actually ignored the sunspots that were surrounded, and still wanted to break the big dragon.

This time, Xu Niangzi fell into a dilemma again, if she went to mention the sunspot, although she could take advantage of the time, but Dalong was in danger of being broken.

Everyone also saw Miss Xu's predicament, seeing that he chose to lift the child to solve the predicament, and continued to work hard to support the dragon, but Mrs. Xu neither mentioned the besieged sunspot, nor did she solve the dilemma of the dragon, but put the white son in the irrelevant lower left corner.

"Faint! Faint move! ”

Everyone was amazed when they saw it, that is, they didn't mention it, and they didn't solve the difficulty, and the big dragon was about to be cut off.

Seeing this, Song Zhengyu couldn't help but smile slightly, picked up a black piece and was about to cut off the white chess, but suddenly stopped again, and slowly retracted it, not knowing how to start.

Seeing that Wang Yan was unclear, Xia Wanchun on the side first glanced at Chen Zilong carefully, and saw that he was concentrating on the chess game, so he hurriedly moved his body closer to Wang Yan and whispered: "Siege Wei to save Zhao!" Just now, Song Zhengyu was angry and wanted to break the big dragon, but he had already lost. ”

Everyone was still strange for a while, and they couldn't see what was so wonderful about Xu Niangzi's stinky move just now, which made Song Zhengyu hesitate, and Wang Yan had Xia Wanchun's guidance, but he had already seen through the chess game.It turned out that Xu Niangzi's white son just now had already become trapped in the lower left corner against a black spot, and Song Zhengyu was caught between the two sides of the white dragon's black spot, but it was surrounded, and Xu Niangzi's disadvantage was instantly reversed.

Song Zhengyu did not fall in the end, but reluctantly threw the black spot in his hand into the chess box, and sighed: "Alas~ One step is wrong, and you will lose the whole game!" Xu Niangzi's chess skills are amazing, and she lost in the game. ”

"Mr. Song is too modest, and the slave has to be guided by a master, so he is lucky to win Mr." A crisp voice came from within.

Hearing this, Song Zhengyu was suddenly embarrassed, his face turned red, and he almost held back a mouthful of old blood. If it is defeated by Xu Niangzi, it will be a good story of a talented and beautiful woman, but if it is defeated by a young man, it will become a joke.

Everyone listened to the conversation between the two, and suddenly felt a burst of surprise, the chess game was full of twists and turns, and it was such an unexpected result.

A wonderful game made everyone very excited, but Wang Yan was stunned the moment he heard Xu Niangzi's voice.
