The small bamboo pavilion under the arch bridge has already been built, because Zhang Cao has been sitting blindfolded recently, has not been to see the pavilion, fortunately there has been no heavy rain, the pavilion has not been washed away by the river, sent to Qiu Ling in the afternoon, Zhang Cao let the sound of the king can eat to invite Zhang Yuan under the arch bridge bamboo pavilion to play.

The weather is particularly sultry, autumn tigers, there are gray clouds piling up in the sky in the distance, it has already begun autumn, the sky is still so hot, it is really abnormal, it is estimated that there will be a rainstorm in the evening.

Zhang Yuan took off the blindfold when he went to the arch bridge, the blindfold is not sunglasses, and he is uncomfortable wearing it, who wants to grope in the dark.

"Haha, meson."

Zhang Cao greeted him with a big smile, and saw that Zhang Yuan was still accompanied by Xiao Xi Nu Wuling, so he said: "Why is Xiao Wu still following, Qiu Ling?" ”

Without waiting for Zhang Yuan to answer, he leaned closer and chuckled: "Jiezi, is that beautiful maid serving well?" ”

Zhang Yuan said with a smile: "What a beautiful girl, let you beat your whole body bruised and purple, I lost my appetite when I saw it, and I have already given it to Fan Zhen." ”

Zhang Cao was stunned: "Just give it away!" Jiezi, you are a loser than me, such a young maid will not say a hundred taels of silver, there are some bruises on the body, and it will be white and tender after a few days. ”

Zhang Yuan said: "Don't say it, it's already been sent, come, let's play chess." "Step into the bamboo pavilion.

If you send it, you will send it, Zhang Cao doesn't care, he is a spendthrift, and it is common for him to get tired of discarding the things he bought at a large price, shaking his head and saying: "Qiu Ling is already your Dongzhang person, how you deal with it is your business, it is cheap Lao Fan, Qiu Ling's cheap maid bed is still quite fun." "Follow into the pavilion.

Although the bamboo pavilion is small but elegant, it is built with the newly cut down green bamboo, you can smell the fresh bamboo fragrance, but it is too incompatible with the surrounding environment, the side is the river beach gravel, the top is the bridge arch, build a bamboo pavilion here, it is really nondescript, but Zhang Cao thinks it is good.

A delicate yellow rosewood chess table, two ebony eight-legged round stools, the chess table is placed with a thousand-year-old chess table and chess pieces produced in Yongchang Mansion, and the four diagonal seats have been placed.

Zhang Cao asked, "Jiezi, do you want to bet something?" ”

Zhang Yuan said: "Don't gamble. ”

Zhang Cao smiled, and did not force betting, he was now interested in how Zhang Yuan played blind chess, since Yao created Go to teach his son Danzhu, he had not heard of anyone who could play blind chess.

Guess first, Zhang Yuan Zhibai first.

Zhang Yuan turned his back, faced the water of the Mash River, half-closed his eyes, and said, "Go to a human official." ”

This first hand is actually the star position Xiaofei hanging, but the ancient chess notation is like this, the Go is divided into four regions, the northeast is to go, the northwest is the upper position, the southeast is the position, the southwest is the flat position, and then the nineteen words are identified with nineteen words, these nineteen words are "heaven and earth people when the official fights Fangzhou said the winter moon leap pheasant looks at the pine guest", because to play blind chess, Zhang Yuan sharpened the gun last night, understood and prepared.

Zhang Cao nodded and said, "Okay, you really dare to play blind chess." Then he took a white son and landed on the point of "going to the official", which was the son of Zhang Yuanluo, and at the same time read in his mouth: "Go to the person to say", this is the three low clips of the sunspot.

Zhang Yuan was a little apprehensive at first, worried that he had memorized this complicated number of Go players, after all, it is extremely difficult to play blind chess, even the top professional chess players can not play blind chess, as far as he knows, only an amateur six-dan named Bao Yun can play blind chess in later generations-

After dozens of chess moves, Zhang Yuan was confident, he can clearly remember the position of each chess piece, Go is different from chess, Go is not able to move after the chess pieces are eaten except for the chess pieces, which is relatively easy to remember, the difficulty is that there are many pieces, and try to avoid robbery, robbery is too complicated, it is likely that there will be memory confusion.

Zhang Cao, who holds black, is more and more surprised, and chess, Zhang Yuan's Go is also learned from him, Zhang Cao used to let Zhang Yuan have two sons, and now it is a tie, only fifty chess, Zhang Cao's black chess has fallen to the wind.

Zhang Cao stared at Zhang Yuan's back and scratched his head, he really couldn't understand, how could Zhang Yuan's Go be so sharp?

If you say that you can use chess to get a secret score and learn a few routines, but Go obviously does not rely on looking at the secret score to improve your chess skills, it seems that Jie Zi is really calm and wise, and opens Su Hui, which makes Zhang Cao both envious and jealous, he sat quietly blindfolded for half a month, and he didn't have any wisdom at all, and his heart was so impetuous that his mouth was foaming.

……

The wind was blowing, and the gray clouds piled up on the horizon swelled up like a blow, and the color of the clouds gradually became thicker and darker, lightning crackled, thunder rumbled, and a torrential rain was about to fall.

There were two people quietly walked down the bridge, also to the pavilion, Zhang Yuan turned his back, I don't know who the person was, but since the arrival of these two people, Zhang Cao's chess path has changed somewhat, the chess played is obviously stronger than Zhang Cao, Zhang Cao understands Zhang Yuan's chess power in the past, Zhang Yuan also knows Zhang Cao's chess strength, the measurement of future generations, Zhang Cao's chess strength is equivalent to the amateur weak second section, and now Zhang Yuan's amateur strong fourth section of the strength can make Zhang Cao three sons-

"Someone has come to support Zhang Cao, this person's chess strength is about three weak."

Zhang Yuan didn't break it, and continued to play, the white chess had an overwhelming advantage, and he was not afraid of Nie Weiping at this time.

Black clouds covered the entire sky, and the arch bridge was as dark as twilight, and Zhang Cao and they were almost unable to see the chessboard clearly, and their heads were planted on the chessboard and stared.

Zhang Yuan was leisurely, because he was worried that the blazing lightning would hit his eyes, so he simply closed his eyes.

Suddenly, there was a sound of "swish", from far to near, like a flock of ducks walking on the sand, the heavy rain fell, and the originally lifeless Mash River suddenly became active, like a hidden dragon hidden on the surface, shaking its head and tail began to emerge.

Wu Ling said softly: "Young Master, you can't stay here any longer, the water will rise soon." ”

Zhang Cao shouted: "No, I have to finish this game of chess in the night battle." ”

Zhang Yuan didn't want to rub shoulders with Zhang Cao, a madman, and said, "Third brother, how many of you are fighting me." ”

Zhang Cao didn't make a sound, and heard another person laughing, this person said: "Jie Zi, it's really impressive, when did you learn this good move, I'm afraid I'm not your opponent." ”

Zhang Yuan turned around, after the rain fell, the sky was a little brighter, and he saw two people standing next to Zhang Cao, one was Concubine Pan, and the other was a young man with clear eyebrows, sixteen or seventeen years old, with medium height, slightly protruding cheeks, slightly pointed chin, and very bright eyes.

"Ah, it's Brother Zongzi."

This Zongzi brother did not appear, Zhang Yuan did not have time to remember, at this time appeared in the Bamboo Pavilion, Zhang Yuan's memories of the two lives intersected, Zhang Dai Zhang Zongzi, Zhou Zuoren, Lin Yutang, Huang Shang highly respected late Ming Dynasty essays, Zhang Yuan had a teacher when he was in college was Zhang Dai's admirer, saying that Zhang Dai's "Lake Pavilion Watching the Snow" is the world's first-class article, because the teacher highly recommended it, Zhang Yuan has also seen a lot of Zhang Dai's essays, the most appreciated is Zhang Dai's witty surname, Zhang Dai's "Self-titled Portrait" self-deprecation:

"Fame is in vain, wealth is like a dream, loyal ministers are afraid of pain, hoes are afraid of heavy, books for 20 years are only worthy of the urn, are people useful?"

This is Zhang Dai's sad emotion after the death of the Ming Dynasty, and now, Zhang Dai is only sixteen years old, a child of the Zhang family in Shaoxing, the eldest grandson of Xizhang, and a gentleman with taste.

"Less for the children of the gentleman, very fond of prosperity, good house, good beautiful maid, good prostitution, good fresh clothes, good food, good horses, good lanterns, good pear orchards, good advocacy, good antiques, good flowers and birds, and tea silver orange abuse, books and poetry demons,-"

This is Zhang Dai at this time, the one-year-old brother of Zhang Yuan.
