The position of a few of them chatting was close to the window, and when they were chatting interestingly, they suddenly heard a noisy sound from the street outside the building, someone looked out the window, and found that more than a dozen people were walking towards this side, old and young, tall and short, some wearing official clothes, some children wearing brocade clothes and satin, and hawkers carrying burdens, making a lot of noise and commotion, very lively.

"Hey, Pavilion Master Zhao, come over and take a look, are those people coming to you?" The person who was observing the situation turned around and shouted to Zhao Tienan.

"What?" Hearing the shout, Zhao Tienan left his seat and came to the window, at this time those people were closer to the Yaqu chess hall, seeing that there were officials in the crowd, Zhao Tienan couldn't help but be stunned, thinking that he had been running this chess hall for more than ten years, and he had been keeping his own hands, not cheating, and had never done anything to steal taxes and evade taxes.

Thinking of this, where was he still in the mood to chat, he hurriedly walked downstairs and came to the door of the chess hall to greet him, "Liu Bantou, you are here, I don't know what to see?" Zhao Tienan asked.

"Hehe, the master of the Zhao Pavilion is polite, he will go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, and he will not dare to be a teacher, so he will bring you business." Liu Bantou smiled and returned the salute - although Zhao Tienan is only a flat-headed commoner, and he is not rich or powerful in Yangzhou, he has a wide range of people and knows a lot of people, so Liu Bantou does not dare to offend easily.

"Oh, is it? Hehe, thank you very much, Liu Bantou has a heart. It turned out that he was not looking for trouble with the chess hall, Zhao Tienan breathed a sigh of relief, smiled and thanked, and then turned his gaze to the people who followed behind Liu Bantou, wanting to see who the so-called business was bringing, but the big and small, it didn't look like a person who played chess, wasn't the so-called business a guest who came to the chess hall to play chess?

"Hehe, don't look at it. The two children had a dispute over a sugar man, and finally decided to solve it by fighting chess, and you are closer here, so I brought them to you. Liu Bantou smiled heartily, then took a step forward, put his mouth close to Zhao Tienan's ear and lowered his voice and whispered, "Don't look at it, it's a child, one is a friend of the little young master of the Lin family with the pass number, and the other is the little master with the Xinji ticket number, both of which can't be neglected." Say hello well, and the money that should be given will not be less. ”

"Uh, I see, hehe, okay, upstairs please." Since he is a child of a rich family, accompanied by a subordinate next to him, and has the guarantee of an official errand, why should he turn away because of his young age? As for the rental fee of chess equipment. It doesn't matter if there is the best, it doesn't matter if there is not, he doesn't need to buy the face of the two big bosses with ticket numbers, but Liu Bantou has little power. The face of the official who has a lot of energy must not be given, otherwise he will come to you to check the fugitives at two ends in three days, how will his business continue?

Zhao Tienan led the way and led the group upstairs. It was inconvenient for the candy seller to go in, so Liu Bantou was easy to talk and told the old man to do business at the door of the chess hall. But first, he was not allowed to sell the Monkey King's sugar man, and second, the chess fight on the top was not over, and the old man was not allowed to leave until the two young masters of Lin Zhou and Zhou had not divided the winners and losers. The door of the chess hall is not a good place to make a living, but where dare he not listen to the orders of the official master, he can only honestly put down the picks and do his business.

Such a large group of people suddenly poured in, and the chess hall, which had always been elegant and quiet, also became lively, this is the first time that Tan Xiaotian has entered a place dedicated to playing chess after leaving Meilong Town, the decoration here, the layout pattern, the tables, chairs and chess sets, I don't know how many generations stronger than the small chess room arranged by the guest room of the Yuelai Inn, I can see that his eyes are shining, looking left and right, both eyes are almost not enough.

"Who is this child? It looks like a child from the countryside who has just entered the city, how can he be a friend of the young master of the Lin family? Zhao Tienan led the way while turning back from time to time to greet the people behind him, Tan Xiaotian's appearance was easy to be discovered by him, seeing that this child's clothes were clean and tidy, they were very simple, especially the appearance that everything was fresh, it was easy to guess his family background, and the contrast with Lin Zicong next to him was extremely stark, so he approached Liu Bantou, lowered his voice and asked curiously.

"He?" Liu Bantou turned his head to look at Tan Xiaotian and replied, "It's the first time I've seen it, and I don't know what the relationship with the Lin family is." However, I just listened to the tone of the young master of the Lin family, it seems that this doll is very good at chess, I originally meant to let the young masters of the Zhou and Lin families fight for the victory, but the little master of the Lin family insisted on letting this child fight for him, if there were no two children, the young master of the Lin family would not deliberately lose this battle. Liu Bantou whispered.

"That's it", after listening to Liu Bantou's introduction, Zhao Tienan felt even more puzzled - in order to cultivate offspring, rich and noble families hired teachers to teach at home when their children were very young, like Lin Zicong, Zhou Shaokang is about seven years old children play chess very well in Yangzhou is not uncommon, like Lin Zicong The child who played on behalf of Lin Zicong is not only obviously younger, but also has a much worse family background, and the kind of rustic atmosphere of children who have just entered the bustling city and countryside is even more visible at a glance, and it is not easy for such a country child to play chess. How could Lin Zicong rest assured that his generation had already gone out to deal with Zhou Shaokang, who was obviously very well educated?

"Pavilion Master Zhao, Liu Bantou, this big group of people, what's going on?" Coming to the second floor, a few guests upstairs who were chatting curiously asked.

"Hehe, it's nothing, it's nothing, it's just an ordinary fighting chess, but both sides of the fighting chess are children." Zhao Tienan explained with a smile, and then instructed the guys to quickly sort out a chess table for the two opposing sides to sit down, while the others stood or sat around to watch the game.

"Do you want to guess first?" After everyone found a good place to settle down, Zhao Tienan asked the two children sitting opposite-Originally, this kind of game didn't need him, the master of the chess hall, to preside over it, but first, he had nothing to do now, and he was idle, and secondly, he was a little curious about the country kid, and wanted to see if this kid could really play chess, so he took the initiative to be this notary.

"No need, let him go first." Zhou Shaokang said with a grin, joke, he has studied Go for more than a year, and even the tutor he asked praised him for his good chess, playing chess with this country boy today is enough to save face, if you bother to make any more guesses, wouldn't it be too embarrassing?
