Chapter 253: Chess
"Hey, thank you then." Lin Zicong pretended to be sincere and said, but his tone was extremely ridiculous, and anyone could see what it meant.
"Hmph." Zhou Shaokang is not stupid, how can he not be clear about the other party's ridicule and sarcasm, and he has the intention to ridicule each other, but the so-called defeated generals dare not speak bravely, and it is not enough to want to be hard under the new defeat, Tie Qing's face is blue, he snorted coldly and stood up, turned around and was about to leave, the subordinates of the Zhou Mansion saw that the little master was leaving, and hurriedly took a few steps forward to push the onlookers away and make way for a small road, and everyone also saw what they were going to do, and they were funny, but they were afraid of the Zhou family's wealth and did not dare to show it on their faces, and they held back their laughter very hard.
"Uh", everyone didn't speak, and the originally soft voice was very harsh.
Who, who is so blind to see, to make a sound at this time?
Together with Zhou Shaokang, who was about to reach the staircase, he also stopped, and everyone's eyes turned to the direction from which the sound came.
Tan Xiaotian, the person who made the voice was him, he found that everyone's attention was focused on himself, he felt a little weak in his heart, he felt as if he had done something wrong, he wanted to speak and stopped, he wanted to speak but he didn't dare.
"Tian Tian, what's wrong?" Lin Zicong asked when he saw the situation.
"Uh, don't you have to pack up your own chess equipment after playing chess here?" Tan Xiaotian asked timidly - this is the etiquette when the chess players play against each other, not only a kind of politeness, but also the respect of the chess players for Go, Yuan Lang is an old-school reader, the first lesson when teaching Go has the content of Go etiquette, and the subsequent teaching is even more strict, if anyone does not abide by it, it must be severely reprimanded, so for Tan Xiaotian, it is a matter of course for the chess players to clean up the chess equipment after playing chess, and it is very surprising to see Lin Zicong get up and leave.
Say it in one sentence. The room was full of people looking at each other, and no one thought that Tan Xiaotian would just speak out because of such a small thing - yes, for a real chess player, the chessboard chess pieces are the tools and stage for his battle, just like the sword in the hands of the warrior, the zhengqin in the hands of the musician, the warrior does not cherish the sword in his hand, and the battlefield may fall into a desperate situation due to the broken blade, and the musician does not care for the instrument in his hand, and he may be embarrassed due to broken strings during the performance. Therefore, for chess players, cleaning up chess equipment after playing chess is a manifestation of morality and self-cultivation, but Zhou Shaokang is only a seven or eight-year-old child, and with his family background, everyone knows that when he grows up, he will either inherit his father's business and become a businessman, or enter the court as an official and step into a career, it is unlikely that he will really become a chess player and take chess as a career. In that case, is it so important for him to follow the etiquette of Go?
In the eyes of most ordinary chess fans, it is normal for Zhou Shaokang to leave without caring about packing up his chess equipment because he was angry about losing, but in the eyes of people like Liu Tienan, he secretly shook his head. I don't think so, I feel that a person who doesn't even want basic etiquette after a slight blow has such a bearing, no matter how good the conditions are. It's impossible to be a real master.
"Every day, it's a good point, leave without packing up the chess equipment. It's so tasteless. By the way, I remember playing chess in the chess hall, and the usual rule is that the losing side bears the cost of renting chess equipment, Zhou Shaokang, should you pretend to be angry because you don't want to pay this little money, so you pretend to be angry and grease the soles of your feet and plan to slip away, right? Lin Zicong didn't think there was anything wrong with Zhou Shaokang leaving like this, but after Tan Xiaotian reminded him like this, he immediately shouted again - he was not afraid of Zhou Shaokang's family situation, so he naturally came as much as he could hit the other party.
"You, you!" Saying that he pretended to be angry and sneaked away because he wanted to repay the debt, such an accusation was unbearable for the children of rich families, Zhou Shaokang was so angry that he pointed at Lin Zicong's nose and scolded loudly.
"Cut, you are justified not in a high voice, but in a loud voice, does it mean that you are reasonable? Hee-hee, no, it's just the rent of chess equipment, no matter how high it can be, if you can't pay, I'll pay it for you, how to say that I will be a classmate of the same chess academy in the future, I can still afford this little favor. The more the other party jumped like thunder, the happier Lin Zicong became, it was not the first time he and Zhou Shaokang had met, and there were more than one signs of parting with each other, but only this time won the most thorough and happy.
"Come on, Young Master Ben can use you to pretend to be a good person. Steward Yuan, give money! Where could Zhou Shaokang accept this kind of humiliation, and shouted to his housekeeper with a cold face.
Steward Yuan took out the money bag, took out a piece of silver from it, it seemed that there would be three or four taels to say the least, and put it on the chess table near with a snap - no matter how high the rental fee of this grade of chess hall is, it will not exceed one or two for a whole day, and take out so much money, firstly, it is the current atmosphere and environment, it is really inconvenient to make the act of inquiring and asking for a price, and secondly, he has fallen behind in the battle with Lin Zicong, and the money is less, doesn't it make the other party grab the handle and laugh again? Compared with the face of his own little master, what is this little money, the so-called loser does not lose the battle, the tiger does not fall, what he wants is this style.
"No need to look for it. Little master, let's go. The money was put on the table, Steward Yuan half-pushed and half-pulled, coaxing Zhou Shaokang downstairs, this time the fighting array has lost its momentum, and it will not be beneficial to entangle it again, it is impossible to go back to the table to clean up the chess equipment, anyway, there is still a long time in the future, and there is a chance to regain face.
"Haha, go slowly, don't send it." Lin Shaocong waved his hand behind him and shouted, but this time Zhou Shaokang didn't stop, walked down the stairs quickly, and left the chess hall.
"Hehe, little guy, I can't see it, it's very good at chess. When I broke in the middle, I thought that the black chess piece had collapsed, but I didn't expect you to survive and really eat the white chess dragon. The people of the Zhou family left, and the atmosphere on the second floor suddenly became much more relaxed, and the chess fans gathered around and said, especially Liu Bantou was the most, but it turned out that he was also a chess fan, and the level was not low.
"That is, if I don't have this kind of ability, how can I rest assured that he and Zhou Shaokang will fight. Every day, you have made a great contribution today, let's go, let's go buy candy man first, and then go to my house to play. Without waiting for Tan Xiaotian to speak, Lin Zicong snatched the words proudly, and the excitement was even happier than winning Zhou Shaokang.
"Well, we'll leave when I'm done with the chess set." The sugar man fought for it by his own ability, Tan Xiaotian was also very happy, three times five divided by two, quickly packed up the scattered chess pieces on the chessboard and put them into the chessboard, and then placed them in the center of the chessboard, and then took Lin Zicong's hand, and the two children went downstairs happily.
