After listening to Sun Dong's bitter family history, a few people sitting here all sighed and sighed, as the saying goes, 'Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read', which is really true.

For most teenage children, I am afraid that they can only accept the arrangement of their elder brothers, go to school like most of their peers, or apprentice business, learn crafts, and inherit the family business, it is rare that Sun Dong can insist on pursuing his own dreams, even if his family does not support him, he is still working hard.

"It's rare that Sun Dong is so persistent in your pursuit of chess, Su admires it, please." Su Quan stood up and raised his glass in salute.

"Don't dare, Mr. Xie Su's false praise, please." Sun Dong hurriedly stood up, raised his glass to greet Su Quan, and then the two drank the wine in the cup.

After a glass of wine, the two sat down again, Su Quan first picked up the wine glass and filled the cups of several people, and then spoke, "Sun Dong, speaking of which, your brother detains you and does not let you go out, although it is a bit overbearing, but you were still young at the time, and he did it out of kindness, when he was young, it was inevitable that he would have resentment in his heart, but after all, it was fifteen or sixteen years ago, I don't know how you are with your brother's feelings now, have you released your old suspicions and reconciled?" ”

Sighing lightly, Sun Dong smiled bitterly, "What Mr. Su said is good, I was really angry at the time, I felt that I had earned it with my own hard work, and I didn't let you spend time accompanying me to the capital, why didn't I go?" Later, when I got older, I gradually understood my eldest brother's thoughts, and I was no longer so angry. But that layer of diaphragm is so ingrained that it is so easy to get rid of. ”

"Hehe, don't talk about that. By the way, have you ever found a way to go to the capital again? Feeling that this topic was a bit dull, Su Hao interjected with a smile and asked.

"I thought about it, but it was useless, I was too young at that time, I didn't have much social experience, I wanted to secretly go to the capital with the caravan a few times, but I was quickly found out by the eldest brother and chased back, and then I got older, and I knew how to run so that I wouldn't be caught by the eldest brother, the problem is that the four major families have age requirements for recruiting disciples, and they are not allowed to take the exam if they are more than ten years old, so they have to give up later." Sun Dong sighed again, and his eyes revealed infinite loneliness.

"Huh? Why is there such a provision? You have to be under ten years old, that's too strict, right? Su Hao seemed to be angry at Sun Dong's grievances.

"Heh, Boss Su, you are not from Yilin, it is normal to feel unfair. In fact, it is not unreasonable for them to set this rule, the so-called 'sixteen-year-old is not a national player, Hopeless for life', Go is easy to learn and difficult to master, it is not difficult to learn to play chess, the difficult is to play well, and if you want to play well, in addition to hard work, learning and education when you are a child is also very important, and the best age for a person to learn chess is from nine to sixteen years old, and it can even be said that the foundation laid during this period can basically determine the highest height that a chess player can achieve on the chess path。 One year older equals one year less than the optimal time to study. The four great families recruit disciples not to make money but to discover talents, so it is not too much to be strict. Sun Dong replied with a smile, and it could be seen that although he regretted missing the opportunity to become a disciple of the Dong family, he did not mean to complain that the other party's threshold was too high.

"Oh, I see, hehe, I'm rare and weird." wanted to fight for others, but people didn't appreciate it, and slapped the horse's hooves instead, Su Hao smiled embarrassedly, but it can also be seen that although Sun Dong's chess skills are not very good, his character is relatively upright, at least he will not complain because his own goals cannot be achieved, and put the responsibility on others.

"Hehe, this is called interlacing like a mountain, you are an expert in tasting tea and boiling tea, but you are too far behind in this chess. Okay, so let's talk about it, isn't it time for us to get down to business? Xue Yan said with a smile, on the one hand, it is to step down for Su Hao, and on the other hand, it is also to introduce the topic to the point - the purpose of this meeting is to hire Sun Dong to be Su Jing's temporary Go teacher for a month and a half.

Su Hao can only barely answer the conversation, but he is an expert in bargaining, talking about business with people, and he is not polite at the moment, he immediately put forward a few requests from his side, and then asked the other party if he could accept it and what the requirements were.

"Well, for a month and a half, it's not a big problem, but if I go to Meilong Town to teach chess, it will be impossible to come back and play chess with others during this time, and the loss of income is very big." Sun Dong thought for a while and said--the so-called sky-high asking price, pay back the money on the spot, he was nine years old when he went to the capital to save money and played chess with people in the chess building, mature earlier than ordinary people, he knew that at this time he couldn't pull his face to ask the other party for the price, and he was the one who suffered.

"Hehe, so under normal circumstances, how much can you earn for a month and a half playing chess?" Su Hao was not in a hurry, and asked happily - the problem that money can solve is not a problem, the problem is only whether the silver taels paid and the income obtained are cost-effective.

"Well, forty taels of silver should be almost there." After estimating, Sun Dong replied - there are losses and wins in lottery chess, and if you only count what you earn and not lose, this offer is not wrong.

"Hehe, can you go any lower? After you go to Meilong Town, you will eat and live all inclusive, and the richest man in Meilong Town, Mr. Liu, is fond of Go and has always been generous, if you have a brother to help introduce, it is not difficult for you to become chess friends with Mr. Liu, as long as you can make the old man happy, the benefits will definitely be expensive. Su Hao smiled and threw out an ** easter egg - I can't give too much in the honorarium, but I can create an opportunity for you to make a lot of money, as for whether you can earn it, it depends on your own ability.

"Huh? Is that so? Sun Dong was originally a very gambling person, and when he heard this, his eyes lit up - he preferred the kind of thing that carries a certain amount of risk but can get more rewards than the benefits that he can definitely get.
