Chapter 80: After the Chess Game
After the chess competition, even Sima Zheng praised Shen Zeru, saying that his chess skills were superior to Qi Zhi, and he personally awarded him the title of Doctor of Chess, and also gave him a lot of items to the embassy.
At this time, Shen Zeru raised the national prestige again, and the Dayong delegation felt honored, and Fang Congzhe deeply felt that it was the right decision to bring Shen Zeru to Xiyan.
After the competition, Shi Lun came to the embassy from time to time to find Shen Zeru, and the two of them were discussing chess skills. When Shi Lun learned that Shen Zeru had also created a book of "Endless Chess Books", he was even more thoughtful, asking Shen Zeru to write down the chess book and give it to him no matter what, so he came to the embassy almost every day.
When Shen Zeru said that the chess game was still in Jingzhao, he couldn't listen to it, and still appeared in the embassy every day. Fortunately, he just went to Shen Zeru, and after a long time, the Dayong envoy and the Xiyan officials didn't see it, and continued to discuss the matter of jointly sending troops, who would want to pay attention to such trivial matters as playing chess and chess games?
Things are just as Shen Zeru and Shen Jihe estimated, after being entangled by Shi Lun for five or six days, Shen Zeru finally couldn't stand Shi Lun's chatter, and said helplessly: "It's not difficult to write down the "Endless Chess Score" to you, but I still have a difficult thing to do now, where is the time to help you write a chess game?" β
Shi Lun saw that Shen Zeru's mind that he had been refusing was finally relaxed, and when he thought of the "Endless Chess Game", he must get it! He originally thought that it would take a lot of trouble, but now he heard Shen Zeru mean that as long as this problem is solved, there will be time to write chess games for him? Shi Lun couldn't help but ask curiously, "What is it?" I secretly thought that I must help him do this well, so that Shen Zeru would have time to help him write chess scores.
After Shi Lun heard Shen Zeru's troubles, he slapped his thigh and couldn't help laughing: "What's the matter with my Dao, isn't it just two household registration documents?" How big of a deal is that? Have you forgotten what I do? Don't worry, I'll help you do this in two days. β
Therefore, a chess idiot is a chess idiot, in front of chess, Shi Lun did not have his usual shrewdness and caution, he didn't think about why Shen Zeru wanted these two documents, why he mentioned this distress in front of him so coincidentally, he only thought about his chess game. People are like this, once a hobby becomes a habit, they only see that kind of thing in their eyes and hearts, and they don't care about it. And Shen Zeru and others are interested in Shi Lun's obsessive hobby.
Sure enough, within two days, Shi Lun brought two household registration documents of Yandu, the seal and the name, showing that these two people are indeed the aborigines of Yandu, a pair of grandchildren, originally lived in Polong City, for the sake of livelihood, and only recently moved from Polong to Yandu, the origin is clear, and the family background is also innocent.
Shi Lun smiled proudly at Shen Zeru: "Now your problem is solved, right?" Now you have time to write "Endless Chess", right? The tone was very expectant, since he failed in the last chess competition, he wanted to save a game, but he didn't expect Shen Zeru to win him every time, and he also put a lot of endgames and dead games for him, so that he couldn't solve it after thinking hard.
"You didn't let anyone else know about this, did you? You know, my relative had done a crime on the slopes, otherwise he wouldn't have thought of a makeover. Shen Zeru asked, he made up a lie to Shi Lun, saying that these two people were the descendants of Dayong merchants and Xiyan, naturally Shi Lun didn't do much to explore, there are many such people in Xiyan Town.
"I did this directly, didn't I want to see the game as soon as possible? and without anyone's hands, your relative is safe. Shi Lun patted his chest and reassured. Anyway, the household registration documents were obtained, and Shen Zeru didn't say anything, only said that it would take many days to write the chess game silently, and he was afraid that there would be mistakes and omissions, so he had to be cautious and let Shi Lun come back to get the chess game in five days.
Shen Zeru handed over the household registration documents to Shen Zexue, and Shen Zexue went to Yandu Mansion through the businessmen of Zhaohui Street to prepare the case, and then according to the customs of Xiyan, the two names on the document were not good, and they changed their names at the same time as the record, and even the address in Yandu was changed several times, and then the owner of the document accidentally burned a big corner of the household registration documents, and only vaguely there were seals to identify, so he went to Yandu Mansion to change two new household registration documents, and the original ones were all waste paper.
In this way, after several tosses and replacements, even Shen Zexue was about to ask for the name of the original document, so that the reasonable identities of Shen Jihe and Shen Yuyi were prepared in Xiyan.
Of course, Shi Lun didn't know this, he held the "Endless Chess Score" written down by Shen Zeru to him, and he loved it like a treasure, and he never thought about the household registration documents at all. After getting the "Endless Chess Book", his whole mind was on the chess game, and he only felt that the chess game was infinitely changing, and there was infinite deep meaning between one move and one move, and it seemed that he couldn't finish reading it.
The person who played chess, exhausted his thoughts, soon suffered from heart failure, and in the second year of the return of the Dayong Mission to Jingzhao, Shi Lun passed away, and when he died, it is said that he still held on to the "Endless Chess Score", which is a later story.
Finally lived up to Shen Huashan's trust and solved the matter of household registration documents, Shen Zeru felt very relaxed, his affairs had been done, and the next thing was Shen Jihe and Shen Yuyi. He began to have the heart to play Yandu, except for Fang Congzhe and Xu Shenxing, most of the other mission officials came to play soy sauce, on this day, he and Dayong and other officials followed the reception deputy envoy Sima An to the most famous Fengchao Street in Yandu, Sima An is also Sima Zheng's nephew, I don't know what Sima Zheng's considerations are, the main and deputy envoys who received them are all members of the Sima royal family, but Shen Zeru will not pay attention to these, anyway, the mission will return to China soon, he doesn't want to be so much.
Shen Zejing stood at the entrance of Fengchao Street, thinking that this name is really appropriate, at the end of Fengchao Street, there is a natural peak, which is very unique. When the Sima royal family built the city, for some reason this mountain was not leveled. The mountain peak is not high, but it is layered and dangerous, and there is a waterfall left on the peak, and the flow does not stop, and when the wind blows, even if you stand at the corner of the street, you can feel the coolness. ββXiyan is mostly hot and summery, which can be regarded as benefiting the streets. A group of officials expressed their admiration for the scene of Fengchao Street - there are many waterfalls, but the waterfalls on the downtown streets are rare.
Shen Zeru was also walking along the street with the officials, and when he saw the name of a certain shop, he couldn't help but look at it a few more times.
