Chapter 20: Joyful Encounters and Feasts
Zhao Yan stood in place, smiling at Huaiyu who was running towards him with a bright face.
"Where are you going to take me from here?"
Huaiyu thought for a while: "First take you to Yiyong Hall to see my master!" ”
As she spoke, she pushed Zhao Yan forward, she was not as tall as Zhao Yan, and she could only push Zhao Yan's waist with both hands.
Zhao Yan was afraid of itching, so he smiled and quickened his pace, avoiding Huaiyu's push: "Don't move your hands and feet, I will walk by myself." ”
Huaiyu caught up with him: "Are you still so afraid of itching?" ”
As she spoke, she deliberately tickled Zhao Yan.
Zhao Yan couldn't dodge, so he simply didn't hide, and grabbed her hand.
"Stop making trouble!"
Huaiyu saw that he was about to arrive at Yiyong Hall, so he walked obediently and said, "Okay, okay, I won't make trouble." She tiptoed open the door of Yiyong Hall, "My master is probably playing chess at this time, let's just go in quietly, he is a chess addict, and he doesn't like others to disturb him when he plays Go." ”
Zhao Yan couldn't deny it, and didn't speak, followed Huaiyu into Yiyong Hall, passed through the two entrance halls, and sure enough, he saw Xie Lang playing chess by himself in the courtyard in the middle.
Huaiyu made a silly gesture to Zhao Yan amusedly, pulled him into the wing room on the right, and pointed to a row of weapons, swords, guns and sticks next to the wall on the north side of the room.
Huaiyu said proudly: "Look! These are all mine! ”
Zhao Yan glanced at these weapons, and then casually scanned the room for a week, with a rounded table in the middle, a carved bed in the middle, a beauty couch outside, a bookshelf desk, an antique vase, and famous paintings, all of which were complete.
"This Yiyong Hall is elegantly furnished." Zhao Yan said.
"That's nature!" Huaiyu said proudly, "This layout was arranged by the master himself, and he is a person who can do everything and is interested in everything." ”
"Who praises me so blatantly? Praise for the teacher blush. ”
Xie Lang stood outside the door, brushed the long hair on his forehead, and looked at the two children in the room with a smile: "This little boy is the Zhao Yan that Huaiyu often talks about, right?" ”
Zhao Yan bent down and saluted Xie Lang: "Hello Mr. Xie, the student is Zhao Yan." ”
"Sure enough, he was born well!" Xie Lang looked at Zhao Yan and praised!
When Zhao Yan heard this, his little face sank.
Xie Lang laughed: "The little guy is still not happy? He walked to the table and poured himself a cup of tea, "Our Huaiyu can boast of you that there is nothing in the sky and on the earth, but I didn't expect it to be a careful eye." ”
Zhao Yan sneered: "Huaiyu also told me that her master is omnipotent and all-encompassing, but she never thought that she was actually a person who ate too much broken rice. ”
"Tut-tut!" Huaiyu sat on the side and watched the play happily, "You go on, go on." ”
Xie Lang and Zhao Yan saw her teasing look, the two glanced at each other, Xie Lang laughed, and Zhao Yan covered his mouth and chuckled.
"I said, Zhao Xiaoshizi, today's Feihong Pavilion Qushui Liuyu Meeting, we didn't go to join in the fun, but we quarreled here, and let the little girl make fun of it in vain." Xie Lang pressed Zhao Yan's shoulder, asked him to sit down too, and also brought him a cup of tea, "Huaiyu often says, your Go game is better than her, would you like to talk to me about a game?" ”
Zhao Yan said: "It is Zhao Yan's blessing to be able to play against chess idiot Xie Lang. ”
Xie Lang happily asked his subordinates to move the chess pieces in the yard in, and the two cleaned their hands and sat on the floor, and Huaiyu sat quietly aside.
"You go first." Xie Lang said to Zhao Yan.
Zhao Yan did not shirk, picked up the sunspot in his right hand, and placed it firmly in the star position in the lower right corner of the chessboard.
Huaiyu watched from the sidelines, Xie Lang's chess was as always, the layout was stable, he had the advantage, and his chess style was peaceful and upright.
And Zhao Yan's chess, when he fell, often puzzled Huaiyu, it seemed to be a clumsy move or even a loss, but after more than a dozen moves, Huaiyu suddenly realized that the clumsy chess played a huge role at a critical moment!
Xie Lang was very surprised, amazed by Zhao Yan's precise calculation ability.
Xie Lang has never encountered this kind of dense and clumsy opponent, and he is still a child under the age of ten, Xie Lang feels that his identity as the No. 1 chess player of Dayou may not be able to be kept.
A game of chess, played for two hours, is not over yet.
Go is not only about chess skills, but also about endurance and mental nature.
Xie Lang played the last move, the chessboard was densely packed, white and black checked and restrained each other, and white had a slight upper hand.
Xie Lang looked at Zhao Yan incredulously: "I am actually only half a son better than you?" ”
Zhao Yan pursed his lips, seemingly not very satisfied with this result.
Xie Lang drank a cup of tea: "Little brother, don't show this kind of expression, the person who should show this look is me, is it me?!" ”
He continued: "Those who play Go, those who win the power win the world, and the Tao, heaven, earth, general, and law are all indispensable.
"The Tao is the principle of nature, the sky refers to the timing, the earth refers to the pattern, and the general is the main body of the game, and the opponent should have the character of wit, integrity, benevolence, courage and self-discipline in order to gallop on the field."
Zhao Yan took over his words: "Law refers to the rules, who can have a deeper understanding of the essence of Go, have good intelligence and virtue, have more solid basic skills, grasp the timing more well, and have stronger self-control, who is the strongest in the chess world." ”
Huaiyu silently watched the two of them talking, without any fluctuation in his heart, and even wanted to practice swords.
At the same time, this game of chess also made Huaiyu feel that in the past, the chess he played with Zhao Yan was Zhao Yan teasing himself.
So she fell into deep self-doubt:
Good friends are so good, can they continue to play happily together?
Xie Lang and Zhao Yan didn't pay attention to Huaiyu on the side at all, although the two were separated by more than ten years, they seemed to have found a confidant at this time, and they were excited to prepare for another game!
Huaiyu wailed: "Don't go down! I'm so hungry! It's time for the Imperial Eatery. ”
Xie Lang noticed that the sky outside had darkened, and he asked Huaiyu, "What time is it?" ”
"The time has passed."
"Huh? It's not good, Pei Ji'an may still be waiting for me outside! Zhao Yan hurriedly got up and was about to leave, but was stopped by Xie Lang and Huaiyu.
Xie Lang said with a smile: "Don't worry, the Feihong Pavilion will arrange accommodation for those participants who don't have time to rush home, the academy has long been closed at this time, and Pei Sangongzi is estimated to have been arranged to live in Xizhai." ”
Huaiyu also said: "You can rest here for one night with peace of mind, and you will go back tomorrow!" ”
"Goo~~" Before Huaiyu's words fell, his stomach screamed.
Zhao Yan pursed his lips and smiled: "I think, I have to find something to eat first." ”
