This meal of wine drank for a full two hours, the so-called guest is happy, the guest is happy, the Qi family uncle is a person who practices martial arts, born with a large amount, drinking wine is like drinking water, the drunkard drinks into a fine drink, although the wine is not as bold as the Qi family's uncle, but carefully pour and drink slowly, the drink is actually not much less than the Qi family's uncle, Qi Erye is born with a sick body, although it is a good wine, but it can not be drunk, after a few glasses of wine, the wine glass is no longer sticky half a drop, just accompany everyone to chat and eat food, so this wine down, Sun Dong was the only one who really drank too much, and he slipped out under the table after drinking.

Someone drank and lay down, and the banquet was over, and a servant took Sun Dong to the guest room to rest, and the drunkard and the second master of Qi sent the uncle of the Qi family back. At this time, it was almost sunset, the night was deep, the stars were shining, most of the people had already turned off the lights and slept, and in the dark night, the lantern carried by the servant in front of him looked extraordinarily bright.

"Huh? The lights are still on in Yuexinzhai, it's so late, hasn't the cloves rested yet? When passing by the courtyard gate of Reading Xinzhai, he found that there was light shining out from inside, and the uncle of the Qi family asked curiously, he knew that the habit of the second brother was not the kind of person who liked to read by candle and practice chess all night (due to physical limitations, he was not allowed to do that for a long time), and it was impossible to use the chess room for tonight's banquet, so it was indeed a little strange that the lights were still on at this time.

"Uh, oh, look at my memory, patronizing and drinking, and forgetting that there is another guest here." Being asked by the eldest brother like this, Qi Erye remembered it, and when he patted his head, he suddenly shouted.

"Huh? One more guest? What's going on? Why don't you go to the Drunken Immortal Pavilion for a drink? "Uncle Qi is even more surprised, although his second brother is indifferent by nature, does not like to socialize, and does not have many friends, he is not a sophisticated person, and Yue Xinzhai is a place specially used by the second brother to play chess. The guests who are allowed to stay here are certainly not generic, so why don't you bring someone with you when you invite someone for a drink? Could it be that this guest is not dealing with the drunkard and Sun Dong, so he treats them differently?

"Drinking? Oh, if I invite him to drink, I'm afraid you'll scold me for messing around first. Second Master Qi smiled and said-Let a child who is less than seven years old drink, is there anything more ridiculous than this?

"Huh? What do you mean? The uncle of the Qi family was stunned and asked puzzled.

"Hehe, just go in and take a look." Second Master Qi smiled and asked the family members with the lanterns to wait at the door. He took his eldest brother and the drunkard into the courtyard.

The courtyard was quiet, the house was bright, and the orange candlelight reflected on the ground through the window paper, and the shadows formed by the latticework drew squares of different sizes on the ground.

When he came to the door of the house, Second Master Qi didn't push the door open immediately, and looked in through the crack in the door, but saw Yahuan Lilac sitting on a chair with her head lying on the table and napping, and then looking at the opposite side, Tan Xiaotian was holding a book and reading it seriously. While watching, there were still various changes on the chessboard, perhaps for fear of affecting the sleep of the big sister opposite, and his movements when he cleaned up the chess pieces were very light.

"Well, it's not easy. I didn't expect this kid's energy to be so good, and he could boil the cloves until he couldn't hold it anymore. The scene inside surprised Second Master Qi, and he turned his head and whispered to the two people behind.

"Little friend? Are you saying that the other guest is a child? Uncle Qi was surprised.

"Yes." Second Master Qi moved his position out of the way. Let the eldest brother come and hear is false, and seeing is believing.

The uncle of the Qi family followed the example of the second master of Qi and put his face against the crack of the door to look inside, and couldn't help but smile dumbly after seeing it. "Hehe, interesting, interesting, I can't imagine that such a young child has such a big addiction to playing chess, this is much more powerful than you were back then."

"Oh, yes, I can't deny it if I want to." Second Master Qi said with a smile - he was frail and sick when he was a child, and he couldn't do without the medicine jar all day long, not to mention practicing martial arts and boxing with his eldest brother, even if he stayed outdoors for a long time and blew a cool breeze, he might be able to get seriously ill when he came back, so the family would spend a lot of money to invite Jiangnan chess king Lan Ruyi to teach him to play chess to pass the time, but even when it was the strictest, Lan Ruyi didn't dare to let him practice chess without sleeping at night. The uncle of the Qi family and his mother, know all about these things, and it is useless to deny it.

"Hehe, it's rare, but then again, no matter how obsessed you are, it's not always a good thing for the body for such a young child to stay up late reading a book." Uncle Qi smiled, stretched out his hand to push open the door, and walked in.

Hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, the child subconsciously turned his head to see what was going on, Lilac was also awakened, and saw that it was the uncle of the Qi family and the master waiting to come in, so he quickly stood up and greeted the other party.

"Hehe, Lilac, you're all sleepy like this, why don't you go to rest?" Often comes and goes, the uncle of the Qi family is also very familiar with cloves, he joked with a smile.

"Well, there's no way, the child doesn't want to, so I have to accompany it." Lilac replied embarrassedly, obviously ashamed that she didn't recruit a child.

"Really? Hehe, children, what kind of book are you reading, it's so interesting, you don't even want to sleep? "Uncle Qi is even more curious, looking at the age of this child, I'm afraid it's less than seven years old, how many words can a child of this age know no matter how smart he is, holding this book, maybe it's a picture album to read, right? He joked with a laugh.

"Xuanxuan Chess Sutra", seeing that Ding Xiang was respectful to this person, and Second Master Qi was also smiling faintly behind him, knowing that this person's status in the Qi family should be very high, Tan Xiaotian raised the book and showed the few words on the cover to the other party.

""Xuanxuan Chess Sutra, can you understand it?" Without waiting for the eldest brother to speak, the second master of Qi who followed behind him first asked in surprise - "Xuan Xuan Chess Sutra" is also known as "Xuan Xuan Collection", which is written by Yan Depu, a chess player in the Yuan Dynasty, Yan Tianzhang sorted out and engraved, and its title is taken from the "Tao Te Ching" in the meaning of "Xuan Zhi and Xuan, the door of all wonders", which is used to compare the subtlety of the chess diagram, and because the frontispiece is crowned with Zhang Xi's "Thirteen Chapters of the Chess Classic", it is also known as the "Xuan Xuan Chess Sutra", the whole book is divided into six volumes: "Li", "Shot", "Du", "Book" and "Number", the first volume is the text department, which contains Ban Gu's "Yi Zhi", Ma Rong's "Go Fu", Pi Rixiu's "Yuan Yi", Lu Gong's "Song of Wu Qi", "Four Fairies Diagram Preface", Zhang Xi (a work of Zhang Jing) "Thirteen Chapters of the Book of Chess", Liu Zhongfu's "Chess Tips" and so on. Volumes 2 and 3 focus on the corners and corners, as well as the diagrams of the sub-bureaus and terminology. Volumes 4, 5, and 6, with a total of 378 chess diagrams, are the most important parts of the book. (To be continued......)
