Seeing that the guests had arrived, Xue Yan stood up and greeted the Su family brothers familiarly, and Sun Dong also stood up from his seat on the side and nodded slightly to a few people politely.

"Hehe, let me introduce you first, this is Su Hao, the boss of Qingyazhai, this is the second brother of Boss Su, Su Quan, the teacher of Wanjuan Lou Shuguan, and this is Sun Dong, a master who can be counted in the Qingyun chess world, let's say hello." Xue Yan smiled and introduced the two sides.

"I have admired Mr. Sun for a long time, I have heard of Mr. Sun's name for a long time, and I can see it today, and it is indeed worthy of the name, which is extraordinary." Su Hao was accustomed to socializing, so he immediately put on a smiling face and said to Sun Dong, while looking at each other up and down, evaluating this person in his heart.

"Boss Su is polite. Sun is just a down-and-out chess player, although he has a chess name, how can he afford the word big name. Sun Dong returned the courtesy, but his conversation was also gentle, not like the kind of market atmosphere that he had imagined.

"Hehe, I thought that Mr. Sun was just studying Go and his chess skills were excellent, but I didn't expect that his conversation was also extraordinary, rare, rare." Su Quan also said with a smile, not hesitating to praise him.

"Where, Mr. Su is erudite and well-informed, and his wonderful pen is famous all over the world, so he can afford the word 'Mr.', although Sun has also read the sage book for a few years, but he can't write it, and he can't do martial arts, only a Go skill to talk about **, in front of you, where do I dare to call Mr., Mr. Su still calls my name directly like Doctor Xue." Sun Dong said politely - he is in his twenties, and Su Hao and Su Quan are both in their forties, calling each other Mr., and they always feel awkward.

"Hehe, it's easy to say." Su Quan was entertaining in his mouth, but he was puzzled in his heart - looking at this person's unkemptness, giving people a feeling of arrogance and uninhibitedness, he is indeed the kind of person who can make off-the-board moves without minding when playing the game, but when he talks, he is decent and does not lose his measure, it is hard to imagine that this will be a person who loves to play chess and will do anything to win chess.

After the two sides met and got to know each other, the two sides sat down at Xue Yan's suggestion, and called the guy from the restaurant to start ordering first, Xue Yan is a doctor, and he is more particular about diet, Su Hao and Su Quan, the two brothers, have a relatively light taste, so the dishes ordered by several people are mainly vegetarian, but Sun Dong likes to eat meat, and ordered a braised elbow and a sweet and sour carp, which is very eye-catching in the full table of dishes.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food, several people chatted while eating, and after some inquiry, the Su brothers roughly understood the basic situation of Sun Dong.

Sun Dong's ancestral home in Yuzhou, because of the war for many years, about 60 years ago moved to Qingyun City to live, has gone through three generations, after arriving in Qingyun City, opened a noodle restaurant in the east of the city, although the store is not big, but under the operation for many years is also a little famous, food and clothing are worry-free, unfortunately the people are thin, the last few generations are a single lineage, only in the previous generation when the mother was unexpectedly pregnant at the age of 30 and gave birth to a son, and this child is Sun Dong - at that time, people started a family relatively early, women often have to marry at the age of fifteen or sixteen, and it is normal to be a mother at the age of sixteen or seventeen, Sun Dong's brother was eleven years old when he was born. Because he is young and the second son in the family, the whole family loves Sun Dong very much, almost to the extent that he is defeated in his hand, and he is afraid of it in his mouth. So much so that on the third day, no one dared to go into the ring again. Dong Jiayao was not satisfied, so he relaxed the conditions, still let the three sons, but it was one against six, and the winner could get a bonus of fifty taels.

There are as many as seventy or eighty people who poured into the building to see the excitement, and more than 200 people could not squeeze in, so they could only wait at the door to listen to the news, because the bookkeeper of the Huiyou Building often went to Zhangjiakai's noodle restaurant to eat noodles, and Sun Dong was able to be brought into the watch battle, but he saw six chess tables arranged in a circle, and the six masters of Yilin in Qingyun City were behind them, or sitting in a precarious position, or meditating, or shaking their heads and sighing, or looking left and right, not to mention, while Dong Jiayao stood in the center, holding a folding fan, and behaving chicly, Relaxed, every time to a table, often a glance at the hand of a son, if the other party immediately responded, he also fell in response, the speed is fast, and do not allow to be sent, until the other party is exhausted for a while, when the need to calculate carefully, he will move to the next table, so back and forth, but half an hour, six masters have fallen off the horse, and no one has passed. Since then, Sun Dong has admired Dong Jiayao's demeanor beyond measure, and he wants to become a Go master like Dong Jiayao, so he tries every means to learn from his teacher. But because many masters in Qingyun City were repaired by Dong Jiayao too miserably, Sun Dong was unwilling to worship under those people, so he begged his parents to send him to learn chess in the thriving place of chess in the south of the Yangtze River. I was going to learn to play for three years, and when I had a small success in chess, I could go to the capital to participate in the Dong family's examination to recruit foreign disciples, who thought that there would be unforeseen circumstances, and he was enrolled in less than half a year, and his father was infected with a vicious disease in the water and soil, and the treatment was fruitless, and he died in a foreign land, and his mother heard the bad news, was oversad, and became ill, and passed away two months later. In order to treat his parents and bury them after death, there is not much savings left in the family, and it is difficult to support Sun Dong to continue to learn chess in Linjiang Chess Academy, and if Sun Dong insists on going to Changsha, his father will not die of illness, and his parents will not die in the prime of life, so his brother Sun Li complained a lot about him, and took him back to Qingyun City, taking care of food and housing, going to school and studying, but he just didn't give him pocket money and didn't support him to play chess. At that time, Sun Dong was less than ten years old, his brother did not support him financially, and he could not learn chess from other masters, so he had to go to the chess building to play chess after school, and wanted to accumulate enough plates to go to the capital, the problem was that he was only learning chess in Linjiang Chess Academy for half a year, and his strength was limited, so it was not easy to make money by playing chess, so in order to save money, he gradually developed the habit of playing chess by any means and as long as he could win. However, Brother Mo Ruo, how could Sun Li not see his thoughts, on the one hand, he didn't want him to play chess, and on the other hand, he didn't worry about a ten-year-old child running to the capital alone, Sun Li looked at him very closely, just when he finally saved enough money and wanted to secretly leave Qingyun City, Sun Li found out in time and confiscated the entanglement, and locked him at home for more than half a month and didn't let him go out, strangling his dream of becoming a disciple of the Dong family in the cradle.
