In addition to inviting celebrities from Chengdu Mansion, this dinner of Governor Lin also invited officials from all over the country and the gentry in the city, and even the political envoys and the Shu Wangfu sent people over.

Wu Jie didn't know this at the time, and reported his name at the door, saying that he was coming to visit the prefect.

The official guarding at the entrance saw that Wu Jie was dressed as a scholar, and his air was magnificent, so he didn't dare to make a mistake, politely explained the reason, and said, The prefect has something to delay, and it will take some time to come over.

Wu Jie was disappointed in his heart, and he wanted to ask again, but a servant-like person hurriedly walked over. The official hurriedly stopped and asked, "Xiao Lu, where is the prefect now, and the distinguished guests have all arrived?" This prime minister is still here to ask to see him! ”

The servant named Xiao Lu looked like a person close to the prefect, and replied with a smile that there was no hurry, the prefect said, if this feast is not as interesting as Caiyun Girl's pipa, it will have less flavor, and it will be said after she comes.

"Miss Caiyun is coming?" Wu Jie's heart moved, last time in the Tang family, although he didn't say a word to Caiyun, he won Wu Lun when he was fighting poetry, which was a bad breath for her.

Speaking of which, Caiyun owes himself a favor.

There was no invitation to Wu Jie at this banquet, and he was about to go to find Caiyun to see if she could think of a way to let herself meet Governor Lin's mansion.

Tomorrow is the day for the government exam registration, and it will be time to enter the examination room in three days, but it cannot be delayed.

So, Wu Jie didn't care about talking to the officials, so he gave up his hand and hurriedly left, so that Wu Lun and the others pounced.

When he came, he saw Caiyun's painting boat on Wash Street, and he should be heading here. If you rush by land, you are afraid that you will pounce.

Wu Jiesuo hired a small boat by the Wangjiang Tower, urging the boatman to go west along the Jinjiang River.

The Jinjiang River is the moat of Chengdu City, but in fact, there is no city wall from here. Chengdu is one of the most prosperous places in the southwest region, and the city has expanded several times, crossing the Jinjiang River to form a thriving street market on the south bank.

The Jinjiang River is mainly composed of two parts: the Fu River and the Nanhe River. This section is the Fu River, the water is shallow and clear, although it is already dusk, but when you look down, you can still see the turquoise aquatic plants in the water and the swimming fish coming and going. Look at the houses on both sides of the bank, the smoke of the cooking, and the rainbow-like bridge across the Fuhe River, which makes people feel like they are in a classical landscape painting.

During this time, Wu Jie has been studying Chinese painting, and in addition to painting figures very well, he is also interested in landscapes. In Chinese painting, landscapes are higher than figures, and figures are higher than flowers and birds, and most first-class painters are good at landscapes.

Seeing the beautiful scenery in front of him, Wu Jie unconsciously raised his hand in front of him, and the thumb and index finger of both hands were staggered with each other to take the scene, and he secretly thought about how to choose the scene.

This frame just frames a painting boat, but who is the painting boat that is not Caiyun Girl?

Wu Jie was surprised and delighted, and couldn't help shouting: "Caiyun, Caiyun!" "Dancing hand in hand on a small boat.

There was a girl who looked like a girl standing on the painting boat, and when she saw a scholar calling the name of the Caiyun girl in a loud voice on the boat, she immediately shouted: "What are you making all the noise about, and you actually chased here?" ”

Wu Jie: "Miss Caiyun can be on the boat, Xinjin Wu Festival to ask to see." ”

"What about the boat, my girl is meeting a distinguished guest, and I don't have time to pay attention to your sourness." The little girl sneered, and the two boats staggered by.

The painting boat is quite large, and a wave rolls up at the passing place, which makes the small boat that Wu Jie is riding can't help but bumpy, and the boat boss is so frightened that he pierces the bamboo pole into the silt in the river, and shouts carefully, the boat is about to capsize.

"Ah, is it Wu Jie, Wu Shizhen?" A delicate face peeked out of the window of the painting boat, and it was the girl who had not seen Caiyun for many years.

Seeing Wu Jie, a trace of imperceptible joy flashed in Caiyun's eyes.

"Hey, it's me!" Wu Jie waved his hand at Caiyun casually, then reached out and grabbed the boat gang of the painting boat, and climbed onto the boat vigorously.

Caiyun was startled, then covered her mouth and snickered.

Caiyun's name is extremely loud, there are Hongru in comings and goings, and there is no white talk and laughter. When the other scholars saw her, they deliberately pretended to be gentle and modest gentlemen, trying to impress her heart. Or someone with other plans, throwing away a lot of money, but there is a ** in his eyes that can't be concealed.

But when the young man in front of him saw him, he waved casually like an old friend he hadn't seen for many years, and then quickly climbed onto the boat. In addition to joy or joy in the eyes, it is clear and transparent, but it makes people's hearts warm.

"You're a man...... Why is it so rude, and still reading to be fair! The maid's face became ugly, and she was about to rush Wu Jie off the boat.

Caiyun's voice came from the cabin: "Hongmei, don't make a mistake, this Wu Jie Gongzi is my old friend, don't invite him in quickly." ”

As the angry Hongmei entered the cabin, she saw Caiyun sitting in front of a small table with a handsome scribe in his early forties.

There is a pair of Go on the small table, which is almost finished and is in the final stage.

Could this be the ancient Qinglou?

Wu Jie was curious, different from what he expected, this cabin was very elegant, there was not much furniture, just a small table, a few futons, a landscape painting hanging on the wall, and a guqin under the painting. I don't know, I thought this was a reading room!

"Caiyun has seen Wu Gongzi." Caiyun was about to stand up and salute, but the middle-aged scribe suddenly grabbed Caiyun's sleeve: "Sit, let's talk about it after playing this game of chess." Irrelevant people, let him do what he does. "You're welcome.

Wu Jie's heart was slightly angry, and his gaze fell on the scribe's face.

Looking at this, I praised it in my heart: what a handsome and chic uncle.

This person was wearing a blue cotton robe, and he had no fame, but his whole body exuded a dusty atmosphere, like a hermit in the mountains and forests.

But this person looked arrogant, and there was a faint trace of disdain in Wu Jie's eyes.

Caiyun looked sorry in his eyes, Wu Jie didn't want to embarrass him, and smiled faintly: "Miss Caiyun don't care about me, let's finish this game of chess first." ”

He walked up behind her, sat down cross-legged, and watched the game carefully.

He studied frantically in the real world for a while, and he also played a few games of coaching chess with the professional players of the chess academy, and his death was naturally extremely ugly.

However, he has developed a great interest in Go, and he has memorized a lot of chess scores, and according to his teacher, he has made great progress and has reached the level of the first stage of his amateur.

I have been in the Ming Dynasty for so long, and I haven't played the game of the ancients, and I don't know what the difference between the rules of ancient Go and modern society is.

After looking at it for a moment, Wu Jie nodded slightly: The Go chessboard in modern society is seventeen roads vertically and horizontally, and in ancient times, it was nineteen roads. Looking at Caiyun and this middle-aged literati's chess strength, it is also good, similar to those amateur chess players in the teahouse, and I don't know what level it belongs to in the Ming Dynasty. If I go up, I'm afraid I may not be their opponent. However, the chess style of these two is soft, and their combat effectiveness is still not successful!

This game of chess has been played to the end, and it is coming to an end, and the two are evenly matched, and they can't tell the winner for a while.

However, the literati still had a calm face, but Caiyun frowned slightly, and a few drops of sweat oozed from the tip of his nose.

Caiyun suddenly sighed: "Mr. Yuli's chess strength is profound, and the little woman seems to be about to lose." ”

The scribe smiled slightly: "Just won the girl's four eyes, and your Qiu Shizhou's "Cold Forest Falling Geese" picture will lose to me." ”

Caiyun smiled: "If you want that painting, sir, just speak." But there was a hint of regret in his expression.

Qiu Shizhou is Qiu Ying, the first-class landscape painting master in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, in terms of achievements in calligraphy and painting, he is half a chip higher than Tang Bohu, but he is not as famous as the four great talents in the south of the Yangtze River.

"It's a pity, this robbery material just now was not used, otherwise it can win two purposes." Wu Jie couldn't help but drop his finger on the chessboard, nodded in one position, said a few moves, and finally said: "Caiyun girl's official is not waiting!" ”

The scribe named Yuli and Caiyun looked up at Wu Jie at the same time, and at the same time lowered their heads for a moment of contemplation, and then silently picked up the chess pieces played by the hands just now and reviewed them, and walked down according to Wu Jie's path.

After a while, the game ended, and Caiyun really won two eyes.

The scribe was a little surprised: "Boy, you have some skills, come on, come on, talk with me for a game." ”

"No, no, I have something to do." Wu Jie hurriedly said to Caiyun: "Miss Caiyun is going to Wangjiang Tower for a banquet, can you take me in?" ”

"Isn't it just going to that banquet, why, no invitation?" The literati said lightly: "Accompany me to finish this game, if you can beat me, you will be taken in." ”

Wu Jie glanced at him suspiciously, and then fell on Caiyun's face with doubt.

Caiyun smiled and nodded: "Wu Gongzi, Mr. Yuli is in high spirits, you will be in the next game." ”

Wu Jie was shocked in his heart, and immediately realized that the reason why this person was able to say big things about bringing himself in should not be an ordinary person.
