Tang Zhou is naturally no exception.
The gift Qin Shu had already prepared, he just needed to walk around with the gift, but according to the previous practice, Tang Zhou would definitely be drunk when he came back on the first day of the New Year, because Cheng Chumo and Wei Chi Baolin would not let him go.
During the Chinese New Year, there is nothing to do, except for drinking or drinking, this tradition has been passed down for thousands of years, and it will continue to be passed on to the year before last.
Early this morning, Tang Zhou went around with gifts.
When he came to Lu Guogong's Mansion, he just put down the gift and was about to go to drink with Cheng Chumo, when Cheng Yanjin suddenly stopped him.
"The boy of the Tang family stops, the old man asks you something."
Tang Zhou was puzzled and said, "What does Uncle Cheng want to ask?" ā
"I heard that you invented a lot of chess games at the Chinese New Year's Eve Palace banquet yesterday, but is this so?"
The corners of Tang Zhou's mouth twitched slightly, and he said, "It's just an improvement in chess." ā
"You kid is modest, come and teach the old man."
Last night's incident had already come out, and chess had become more like a battlefield, so for some generals who liked the art of war and fought war, they would definitely be curious and even obsessed with the new chess, so they naturally needed Tang Zhou to tell them about the situation.
Cheng Biting Jin is just the beginning.
In Cheng Biting Jin, any reluctance on the part of Tang Zhou is useless, if he wants to go out to play as soon as possible, it is better to teach Cheng Biting Jin as soon as possible, so he no longer shirks, and after taking out the chessboard and chess, he taught, what kind of horse walks the day, like walking the field and the like, so that he muttered and taught a stick of incense for a while, and finally let Cheng Biting Jin understand the move of each chess.
Finally taught Cheng Yanjin, Tang Zhou was about to leave, a group of women suddenly rushed into the house, these women are of different ages, they stay in the backyard on weekdays, and rarely come out, but today they all came all at once.
"Little Marquis, you are handsome again."
"Oh, little marquis, look at you, you are better than that kid in my family......"
These women are Cheng Biting Jin's wives and concubines, as soon as they said this, Cheng Chumo pouted beside him, saying that Tang Zhou was handsome, he was very unconvinced, but in a few elders, he could only pout.
Tang Zhou was taken aback by this battle, and he didn't know how to respond for a while, so he could only salute again and again, this aunt is good, that aunt is good, and after greeting him like this, he finally said: "If it's okay, the junior will leave first." ā
"Don't, I heard that the little marquis invented some backgammon, and now many princesses like to play it, you teach us, and we can play with other ladies another day."
"Yes, otherwise we wouldn't, but we'd be a shame on the master."
Saying this, Cheng Biting Jin's brows moved slightly, and said, "Tang family boys, teach them." ā
Cheng Yanjin will never allow his wife to embarrass himself.
Tang Zhou was very helpless, so he had to hand over the game of backgammon to them, fortunately, the rules of backgammon were simple, and they would talk about it a little, so after a cup of tea, Tang Zhou finally got out and took Cheng Chumo to find someone else.
Out of the Lu Guogong Mansion, they went to the eldest grandson Wuji's house again, although their friendship with the eldest grandson Wen is not very iron, but the eldest grandson Wuji, the elder Tang Zhou, can't be missed, so they should go or go.
After going, he said a few polite words, and then saw that the eldest grandson Wuji couldn't wait to take out the chess board.
"Tang family boy, you teach ......"
Tang Zhou was speechless, he considered whether he would open a chess training class, and then collect some tuition fees as extra money.
Leaving the eldest grandson Wuji's mansion, followed by Li Jing, Wei Chigong and so on, every place they went, they had to stop and waste some time to teach them to play chess, so that by the time Tang Zhou finished passing the door and followed Cheng Chumo and them to drink, it was already past lunch.
A few people were hungry enough, and they followed Tang Zhou to so many places, so it was strange that they were not hungry, so they had to take Tang Zhou to Cuiming Building to eat hot pot.
When they came to Cuiming Building, there were a lot fewer guests inside, but also, when they came to the private room, all kinds of hot pot ingredients came up one after another, and the group first gobbled up a full meal, and then chatted about other things.
"Brother Tang, I heard about backgammon and chess, what kind of beast chess did you invent, this sounds very interesting, you teach us." Cheng Chu, who had eaten and drunk, wiped his mouth silently, and then looked at Tang Zhou with a look of anticipation, and the others were the same, as if they were very interested in this beast chess.
Tang Zhou shrugged his shoulders and said, "This beast chess is played by children, what's the point of you playing." ā
"I'm just curious, you teach me."
Seeing them like this, Tang Zhou sighed lightly, there are no childhood people, and they are also curious about children's things, there is no way, he had to tell a few of them the rules, of course, the rules are a little more complicated than what he taught those little princes and princesses, and it is impossible to really let them play such simple rules.
After saying this, Cheng Chumo and Yu Chi Baolin started a fight.
"Okay, okay, watch my elephant sweep through a thousand armies."
"Hmph, elephants are very powerful, one thing drops another, watch my mouse get into your elephant's trunk."
"Mouse, hehe, look at my dog......"
"Dog, hehe, dog is nosy with a mouse......"
A group of people were playing happily, as if this beast chess was much more interesting than backgammon, Go, chess, etc., Tang Zhou became more and more speechless the more he watched on the side, these people are in their thirties, why do they still like to play this?
Tang Zhou shook his head and was speechless, but Qin Huaidao didn't like this a little, and pulled Tang Zhou to ask for advice on how to play chess, Qin Huaidao already knew how to move chess, but he didn't know how to lay it out.
And in the face of Qin Huaidao's problem, Tang Zhou is actually half a catty, he knows how to play chess, but how to lay out, he is not particularly proficient, but he is also idle, he simply taught Qin Huaidao a few tricks, but after a few moves, he will be sloppy.
"This thing is ever-changing, you still have to rely on your own figure, you have to have both defense, you just need to practice more in the future."
Qin Huaidao was obsessed with chess, and after hearing Tang Zhou's words, he responded again and again, and said, "How about Brother Tang accompany me to practice in the future?" ā
Hearing this, Tang Zhou hurriedly expressed a little embarrassment: "Brother Qin, you know, I'm very busy with the assassin history of Chang'an City, I'm afraid I don't have time to play this." ā
Qin Huaidao was a little disappointed, but he didn't care much, after all, now there is a chess craze among the powerful, he wants to play chess, and he is afraid that he will not find an opponent?
When thinking like this, Qin Huaidao suddenly envied Cheng Chumo and these people, looking at them, they were so excited to play a beast chess, he was really a little envious that they could play together, but if he wanted to lower his IQ and play beast chess with them, he was really a little repulsed and reluctant.
