Counting from the bamboo forest just now, Tang Que must have a brocade heart every time he opens his mouth, Lin Xuezheng is thinking about all these arrangements, and then look at Tang Que's age, his mind is about seventy or eighty percent, at this time, I want to see Tang Que's chess skills, as a reader, qin, chess, calligraphy and painting is a necessary skill, on the contrary, from these skills, you can also see the temperament and strength of a scholar, isn't there a saying that watching chess is like watching people!

Lin Xuezheng thought of this, so he signaled to Tang Que to play against Zhang Xianling.

Ancient scholars pay the most attention to the courtesy of respect and humility, there is Lin Xuezheng, how Tang Que is willing to take the lead, "or learn to be the first to please, students will temporarily be a chess watcher", Tang Que stretched out his hand to invite the two into the pavilion, and continued with a chuckle in his mouth: "Good game is not as good as good view, I am happy if people win, and I don't have to worry about people who lose, so it is a permanent resort!" According to the students, there is a great interest in watching chess, and Lin Xuezheng is the co-teacher of the scholars in this county, so how about inviting the students to fulfill it? ”。

"This talk about watching chess is good, as soon as you hear it, you are a person who understands the true interest in chess", Zhang Xianling, who was addicted to chess, did not wait for Lin Xuezheng to push it again, and said: "Lin Xuezheng doesn't have to let it go anymore, you and I will play a game early, and the winner will weigh his chess strength again."

Zhang and Lin played against each other, Tang Que served wine, and Old Master Yan tasted wine and watched chess, and for a time the whole mountain pavilion was silent, only the sound of falling children should be with the sound of leaving the wind, which sounded extremely quiet.

Tang Que served wine in his hand, but his eyes were always on the chessboard, and after watching the thirty or forty hands of both sides fall all the way, his heart became more and more settled. On chess, Zhang and Lin are both higher than him, fortunately, there are not too many highs, and although the chess paths of the two are different, they are generally from the famous chess game "Wu Tu" of the Three Kingdoms. And he has figured out the most in the rest of the past month is this chess book, if you really want to play with them, Tang is confident that he can grasp the general trend, which has the power to fight, plus what he learned in later generations, as long as he plays well, it is not impossible for the sword to go sideways and attack it unprepared.

Zhang and Lin are both fast players, and it didn't take much time to play a game of chess, and in the end, Zhang Xianling won with a small advantage of five goals.

After the victory, Zhang Xianling was very happy, and after raising his head and drinking a cup of medium warm wine, he beckoned to Tang Que, "Tang Cheng, you come!" ”。

Watching the chess knowledge, Tang Que could see that Zhang Xianling was a real chess player through the game of chess just now, and after sitting down, there was no flattery, and he had no reservations.

Tang Que already knew the context of Zhang Xianling's chess path, but what he learned in later generations was not something that Zhang Xianling could know, as the more pieces on both sides, the more dignified Zhang Xianling's face became, and finally Tang Que won nearly ten eyes against the other party in this game.

Liu Li didn't know how to play Go, but he just followed the excitement with a glass of wine, and there was nothing in front, and when he heard that Tang Que had won the Zhang County Order, his face suddenly changed, and he kicked Tang Que again and again with the cover of the stone table.

On the contrary, Zhang Xianling not only did not feel unhappy after the dust settled, but rubbed his hands again and again, calling strange chess while urging Tang Que to come again.

The chess table was reopened, and it was still Tang Que who took the lead in black, but Zhang Xianling changed his habit of falling like the wind this time, and he thought about it repeatedly every step of the way, as soon as he became cautious, Tang Que's many strange moves were difficult to achieve the expected effect, although he tried his best, but finally lost because of the gap in chess strength, but there were not too many defeats, and it was only seven eyes.

If the two games of chess are drawn together, Tang Que and Zhang Xianling are exactly evenly divided, and they end in a draw.

Playing Go is already time-consuming, especially the slow play in this last game, and it is already twilight outside the pavilion after the winner is evenly divided, and it is time to go down the mountain.

Zhang Xian Ling brushed his clothes up, his face was full of comfort after being addicted to chess, "Lin Xuezheng, Tang Cheng's chess path is very strange, at first glance, it seems to be imaginative, and after thinking deeply, he feels that it makes sense, and if he is not careful, he will drill his trap, now think about it, there is a little antelope hanging horns, and the chess strength is also upside down, the most rare thing is that his chess path is not ingenious." Well, this young man is quite accomplished, and it would be a pity to live here for so long at his age."

Tang Qiyue had been waiting for this sentence for a long time, and listening to Zhang Xianling's words, his hands that were packing up the chess pieces slowed down.

Lin Xuezheng heard the song and knew the meaning of elegance, and after glancing at Tang Que, who was strongly suppressed, he said with a smile, "Since the county lord loves talents, how can I not spare talents?" At the beginning of the year, more than ten students in the county school went to the state school, and the vacated places made up for him", at this point, Lin Xuezheng also deliberately ridiculed: "In this way, the county lord does not have to talk about no one playing chess with him every day."

"Those who know me, Lin Xuezhengye!" , Zhang Xianling didn't finish speaking, he heard a crisp sound of "ding" next to him, and when he turned his head to look, he saw that Tang Que was busy picking up the chess pieces that fell from his hand, and his face, which was still calm and calm when he played chess just now, was slightly red.

Zhang and Lin naturally knew the reason why Tang Que lost his hand in excitement, but neither of them said anything, they looked at each other and smiled before walking down the mountain.

Back at the bottom of the mountain, Liu Lizheng's family banquet has been prepared, Zhang Xianling has been addicted to chess after climbing the mountain, compared to the noon story, his interest in the evening is obviously much higher. It only took more than an hour for a banquet to push the glass and change the lamp.

The mountain residence was lonely, and after the banquet was over, Zhang County, who was already drunk, left Tang Que and Old Master Yan behind, plus the county school Lin Xuezheng, and the four of them tasted wine and admired the moon in the backyard of the manor and gossiped to pass the time.

Old Master Yan and Lin Xuezheng talked more about the content of "The Five Classics of Justice", exchanging their recent experience of reading the scriptures, and appreciating the latest achievements of the academic community on the original scriptures and scriptures, while Tang Que was mainly accompanying Zhang County, and the topic was naturally inseparable from chess.

"In the Wei and Jin dynasties, the scholars were still metaphysical and clear, and the game of Go was mysterious, unpredictable, and quite in line with the elegance of the scholars, so it was called 'hand talk', and when the famous monk of the Jin Dynasty was discussed in the "Skillful Art" chapter of "Shishuo Xinyu", he said that he 'used Go as a hand talk', which is the earliest source of the 'hand talk' that students saw. Of course, because the game of chess can make people have a sense of otherworldliness, it is also called 'sitting in seclusion', which means that no matter where you are, as long as you sit in front of the chess table, you can get rid of the world's worries, no different from a hermit. It is also the "Qiaoyi" chapter of "Shishuo Xinyu", which also has a record of "Wang Zhonglang (Tanzhi') is sitting in hiding", so Go is also called sitting in hiding. It is said that in the eyes of the scholars of the Wei and Jin dynasties, the sitting and hiding of Go is a higher heart than the hidden body of the world, and the hand talk is more elegant than the clear talk of waving the tail", under the faint moonlight, Tang Que continued to add tea while holding the tea pot, and talked in a light and elegant voice, "Lord Zhang respects a county, and the disturbance of official affairs is the most complicated.
