Chapter Seventy-Seven: Passing the Three Levels (I)
The next morning, Zhao Fu Qing and the three of them were woken up by the sound of chickens outside, and the shopkeeper brought water, and when they washed their faces, the people at night were different from the people in the morning, so they asked, "Why wasn't it you last night?"
"Returning to the customer officer, this is the rule of the store, our store is three shifts a day, people are different every day, in the words of the boss, that is, so that we don't get tired," the shopkeeper explained with a smile
"Oh, then I won't be able to see the charming lady I met last night," Zhao Sheng Rong joked after coming out, with a sense of loss on his face
"If you want to have time, this guest officer, you might as well wait until tomorrow night and tomorrow night...... My sister will come, "Because He Lan stipulates that everyone is called brothers and sisters, so there can be no mistakes, and mistakes must be corrected, otherwise they will be kicked out of the hotel after three times, so the second brother of the shop is called so."
"Why aren't there three shifts tomorrow night?" Zhao Sheng Rong asked again
"It's three shifts, but that sister has been working for six days, and this seventh day is stipulated by the boss that my sister has to rest, so she can only come out tomorrow night," the shopkeeper explained again
"What's breakfast today" Zhao Changde shook his head at his eldest brother, he didn't expect that at this time, Zhao Shengrong was still thinking about women, didn't think about eating, didn't eat last night, and if he didn't eat this morning, he wanted to starve the two of them
"Now there are a little snacks for you to taste, but if you want to eat formally, you have to go and see if the children are up, if they do, they will naturally have to challenge the three levels," said the shopkeeper
"What are these three levels?" Zhao Changde asked, although he heard about it from Zhao Yankang, but he didn't experience it himself, so he naturally didn't believe it
"The first level is the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, the piano is the guzheng, the guqin, the guqin is to have a person who can compete with the children, there are checkers, five chess, Go, etc., and the same is the same as the children's test book, calligraphy is the best to write, the painting is to draw a thing in the house, who draws realistically and naturally, who wins," the shopkeeper explained slowly
"This first level is just about the four things, choose the same or different," Zhao Changde suddenly asked
"What do you mean by this, guest officer," the shopkeeper was stunned and couldn't help asking
"I'm asking if you have to choose only one and not three, anyway, it's a three-on-two win."
"This used to be only allowed to choose the same, since this is the case, then the little one should ask the boss," the shopkeeper didn't expect that there would be a guest officer who chose to do so, so he went upstairs
He Lan heard a few words of advice in a low voice, Feng'er opened her mouth: "Little second brother, you tell the other party to choose two things, one is five chess, the same is the painting, today Sister Lan is happy, so they can choose, and both must be three wins and two wins."
"Okay, I'll go down now," the shopkeeper learned the reply and came back to tell Zhao Shengrong and the others
"I wonder if the shopkeeper can show us how to play five chess," Zhao Changde asked again
"Naturally," Gao He came out and bowed to them, and then he and the shopkeeper got up together, Zhao Fu Qing and the six of them took a closer look
Seeing Gao He holding the black first in the center, Lin Qingquan almost shouted, "This is ......", but he was shocked by Zhao Shengrong's gaze, and he didn't dare to speak again
"In Lan Mei's words, this is another way to play Go, which is simpler than Go, but it is a test of brainpower, this chess is not simple, it is not difficult, it is not difficult, as long as you watch a game, you can understand it," Gao He smiled faintly, and when he saw that the shopkeeper was on four, he immediately went to block it, but now the other party is double four, even if it is blocked, there is no way, "Now I finally know why Lan Mei said that one heart cannot be used twice, and it is because of this that I will take it lightly."
"This game is also the same as Go, black moves first"
"Yes, but because black goes first has an advantage, there are restrictions, for example, you can't be like this, double-four, double-three, this is called a forbidden hand, if you go down, even if you lose, and whether it is horizontal, vertical or oblique, whoever gets to five first will win."
"Shop, we can't do this, my eldest brother will play chess, I'll draw, it's good," Zhao Fuqing said suddenly
"I haven't tried this, because Tong'er is good at chess and drawing, usually after chess, or draw first and then play chess," Gao He didn't seem to expect the other party to pay such a attention
He Lan frowned and asked, "How is Feng'er Zhaofu Qing's painting technique?"
"It can be said that it is good, and it is better than me, so I can dare to compete with this painting, but if I want to play chess with the emperor, I am ...... After all, he is the emperor, "Feng'er is not timid, but because of etiquette."
"In that case, you go to paint, I'll play chess," He Lan decided to face the three people downstairs, otherwise she really didn't know when the three of them would toss, and she couldn't settle down, and she didn't want to delay any longer
"Then Sister He, you are dressed like this"
"I'm dressed as a little guy, and you are also a little guy, we are all men, so naturally we have to cover our faces, and it won't be good if they see it," He Lan commanded since he had made up his mind
Gao He knew when he learned that He Lan came out, and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, the boss also agrees, so please come into the house."
When Zhao Fu Qing and Zhao Sheng Rong were led upstairs, they turned out to be two rooms, and Zhao Fu Qing was surprised, "Why are there two rooms?"
"Didn't the guest officer say that there should be a chess player and a painter, so naturally it should be divided into two rooms, or people's ideas will be infected, and at that time, it will make people look down on our store" With the sound, a door opened, and I saw a woman walking out, she was not He Lan, He Lan, but sitting inside, "The guest officer is here"
"Why didn't he speak," Zhaosheng Rong said in surprise
"My father-in-law is mute, so he can't speak, but it's because of this that he learned good chess skills," the woman smiled faintly, without yesterday's dust, and even less charming, just like an authentic woman
"Won't it be dumb here," Zhao Fuqing was originally joking, but the door on the other side also opened, and a young man came out, "The guest officer is really smart, and he is indeed dumb, because they are twins, they were dumb at birth, so one learned chess and the other learned to draw, I don't know if the two of them want to start"
"Okay," Zhao Fuqing nodded, walked into Feng'er's house, smiled, and then Zhaosheng Rong also left He Lan's house
He Lan raised his hand to signal to light incense, and then asked people to put out the lights
"What does this mean" Zhao Sheng Rong was a little surprised, and he didn't even start
"This is called the hacker officer under the lamp, because the competition must be stricter, and because the guest officer is a special time, it is natural to treat it specially, if the guest officer is unwilling, he can admit defeat," the woman said with a smile
Similarly, the lights were also extinguished in Feng'er's house, but Fu Qing was not surprised, perhaps saying that he expected this
"Start," with the sound of both doors shut, but downstairs Zhao Changde and the three were discussing who would win, because no one was sure
He Lan gave the black chess to Zhaosheng Rong this time, and she held the white chess to signal Zhaosheng Rong to play first, Zhaosheng Rong recalled that she had just seen it and played it to the center, but He Lan went down to the other corner, and Zhaosheng Rong played on her side when she was happy
When Zhaosheng Rong played the third chess, He Lan came to block, and when the fourth was blocked, he inserted it diagonally, but I don't know what happened, He Lan actually made his white chess and the white chess in the corner into a double four, and naturally He Lan won the first game
And Feng'er's side, Feng'er painted a portrait of Zhao Fuqing, just because she was a little timid, so she finished painting when the incense was extinguished, and Zhao Fuqing actually drew the incense and everything in the house before the incense was extinguished, so it can be said that Zhao Fuqing won this game
After He Lan knew about it, he thought about it, and he deliberately popped up a chess woman, knowing that he came to Zhao Fu Qing and said with a smile: "Guest officer, my eldest duke said that I want to try my chess skills with you, I don't know how."
Feng'er became even more nervous when she heard this, and she wanted to compete with the emperor by herself, wouldn't that make her even more embarrassed
"Naturally, there is no problem, it's just that I can let my fifth brother come up, my eldest brother's chess skills are good, but his drawing is not good" In fact, Zhao Fuqing had already noticed from Feng'er's figure that she was Feng'er, but he didn't know what to say, after all, Feng'er had served as a maid, how could he not understand
He Lan heard the news and gently knocked off the table with his hand to express his agreement, Zhaochang Dewan never thought that he would be called up to paint, and suddenly his face was speechless, how can his painting skills be similar to martial arts, and he can play the piano, play chess, and make do with Go, and it is difficult to say
"Ninth brother, be careful, the person in front of you has very good chess skills," Zhao Sheng Rong cautioned as he went down
"I know," Zhao Fuqing nodded, and then came to He Lan's house
"It's dark again"
"Yes"
"Then start over"
"Good"
The chess was placed again, but this time Zhao Fu Qing let the other party choose the black chess, he chose the black chess on the grounds of winning first, He Lan smiled, and it seemed that he was really shrewd, so he agreed
And Feng'er's side started another competition
After another pillar of incense, the ending came out, this time it was Feng'er who won and Zhao Changde lost, and He Lan's side, He Lan also gave the victory to Zhao Fuqing because of a momentary mistake, and now it can be said that it is a one-to-one draw
"The last one" When the words just fell, the lights in the hotel suddenly went dark, and it also made Lin Qingquan and them mention the god of vigilance, how could this be dark
"What does this mean?"
"If the chess skills, painting skills and guts can beat my grand duke in such a black chess skill, then the guest officer will win."
"So, let's do it, I'll play chess with my left hand and draw with my right hand, you see how it goes," Zhao Fuqing blurted out
He Lan was taken aback when she heard this, could it be that Zhao Fu Qing could open the bow left and right, or was she not afraid of being single-minded, and then she stretched out her hand to reveal the meaning of a number 9, which represented doubts
