"Okay, although the jade pendant belongs to the two of you, you two can't treat it as a toy, it's a very valuable thing, what if you accidentally break it." Knowing the origin of the jade pendant, Qiu Ju told the two children.

"Why? How valuable? Tian Qing asked curiously.

"Well, how can I say it, if such a piece of jade pendant is replaced with donkey meat that you like to eat, you can eat three meals a day from today until you grow up and are older than your father." Qiu Ju thought about it and explained--The idea that children have no money, it should be easier to accept this as a metaphor.

"Wow, how much donkey meat must be burned!" Sure enough, he was a foodie, snapping his fingers, thinking about how many donkey meat he could eat a day with his own amount of food, how much in a month, how much in a year, and how many he would have when he was as big as his father, of course, it was not clear, but it was sure that it was a huge amount, and Tian Qingyou's surprise was beyond words.

"Uh, auntie, isn't it? Uncle Tian is Brother Qingyou's father, no matter how old Brother Qingyou is, he won't be older than Uncle Tian, right? Tan Xiaotian asked in confusion after thinking about it.

"It's a little bit, why are you so smart." Qiu Ju was speechless for a while-just thinking about how to make the little fat man who remembered to eat or not to remember the price of the jade pendant in his hand understand the value of the jade pendant in his hand, so he didn't pay attention to the logical error of this metaphor, but he didn't expect that it would make Tan Xiaotian grasp the language problem, stretched out his hand and gently knocked on the child's head, and scolded with a smile in his mouth.

"Hey, hey." Tan Xiaotian smirked - isn't it good to be smart?

"Okay, Aunt will put away this piece of jade pendant for you first, Qingyou, you can quickly hand over the things to your mother." Put away the jade pendant, Qiu Ju told the little fat man.

"Well, for a moment." Knowing that what is in his hand is a good thing, he can exchange a lot of delicious food, Tian Qingyou is a little reluctant, although he knows that sooner or later he will definitely have to hand over to the old lady, but at this time it is good to be in his hand for a while, he carefully stuffed the jade pendant close to his body, and felt the slightest coolness from the jade pendant, which was very comfortable (just fished out of the water, can it not be cold).

Seeing that Tian Qingyou no longer played with the jade pendant in his hand, Qiu Ju no longer urged, and continued to wash her clothes while asking about the birthday banquet of the two children.

The two children talked without focus, a hammer in the east and a mallet in the west, thinking of where to go, and talking about the situation that the school would add a new Go class in a few days.

"What is Go? Isn't it hard to learn? Tian Qingyou obviously hadn't seen Go before, but the existing courses in the school hall had already made him very big, and now he was going to add another class, how could he not worry?

"I know, I know." Tan Xiaotian shouted anxiously, "Go is divided into chessboard and chess pieces, the chessboard is made of wood, square, so big, so thick. He gestured with his hand in front of him, as if there was something in front of him, Tian Qingyou listened with his mouth half open, trying to imagine the appearance of the object in his mind.

"There are many horizontal and vertical paths drawn on the surface of the chessboard, just like this." The child's expression ability is not so strong, Tan Xiaotian simply picked up a small stone and drew it on the ground.

"Oh, that's what it looks like. Hey, what are these nine points? Seeing the specific things, Tian Qingyou probably understood what the chessboard of Go looked like, and saw that the horizontal and vertical lines on the ground crossed to form many small squares, and nine of the intersection points were deliberately drawn a larger circle, which was particularly eye-catching, and it was these nine points that Tian Qingyou pointed to at this time.

"Well, I don't know, Mr. Yuan's chessboard looks like this, I drew it." Tan Xiaotian replied.

"That's called the star position." Qiu Ju, who was still washing clothes next to her, suddenly said.

"Stars?" The two little children were surprised.

"Yes, this is convenient for positioning when playing chess, and there are eight in a circle around it called the star position, and the one in the middle is called Tian Yuan." Qiu Ju replied.

"Tian Yuan? Why is it called Tian Yuan? "Five-year-old children are eager to learn and inquisitive, and they like to ask why, Tan Xiaotian is no exception, and immediately asked curiously.

"Oh, the so-called 'Tian Yuan' symbolizes the 'North Star' set off by the stars, and it can also symbolize the most dazzling first star in the stars. "Historical Almanac", "The king is ordered to change his surname, and he must be cautious from the beginning." Correct Shuo, change the color, push the original Tianyuan, and obey the will of the Que', Tianyuan, is the will of God; "Wei Shu, Guan Lu Biography", "the husband enters the gods, when the step Tianyuan, push the yin and yang, explore the mystery, and enter the subtle", Tianyuan talks about the origin and beginning of all things. This star position is located in the middle of the chessboard, which is unique and looks down on the whole picture, so it is called 'Tian Yuan'. Qiu Ju replied,

"Oh, I see, auntie, you know so much." With what Qiu Ju said firmly in his mind, Tan Xiaotian suddenly realized.

"Oh, I know what this is, it's just a scratch, I learned it all from your mother. Your mother is really knowledgeable. Qiu Ju replied with a smile, but there was a hint of imperceptible bitterness in her smile.

"Really? So my mother can play Go? Tan Xiaotian exclaimed in surprise - his aunt rarely talked about his parents, and every time she talked about it, she always quickly changed the topic, so that until now, he only had a vague outline of what his parents looked like, and he knew nothing except that he was a painter who was on the mission to the Ryukyus.

"Yes. Not only can she play, but she is also very good, and she is still a girl, and many talented talents are not her opponents. Speaking of which, the reason why your father knew your mother was because of playing chess. Qiu Ju stopped what she was doing and replied, with a look on her face that recalled the past years.

"What? Auntie, are you saying that my dad can also play chess? Tan Xiaotian was even more curious and busy asking.

"Oh, what do you call it, your father's chess skills are not generally good, that's very clever, your mother's chess skills are already difficult opponents, but every time you play against your father, you have to be let three sons, do you say that's called?" Qiu Ju replied with a smile.

"Given three sons? What is the meaning? Tan Xiaotian asked puzzled-at this time, he had only seen the Go set once at Yuan Lang's place, and he didn't even know the rules of Go, how could he know such a term?

"To be given three pieces is to let the opponent put three pieces on the chessboard before the official game, which is equivalent to letting the opponent take three moves first." Qiu Ju explained.
