Chapter 7: Su Le and Cai Yan's first meeting
"Uh............" Su Le was stunned, "Mulan, what are you talking about?" ā
"You're just joking, I'm not kidding you!" Mulan wanted to test Su Le's reaction, but the result was not too satisfying to her, she said to herself in her heart, "If you don't want to, forget it." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
Cai Yan arrived on time the next day, and Mulan and Su Le had already prepared the room in advance and lit the incense burner.
This room still has a wooden floor, Mulan and Cai Yan are kneeling facing each other, and there is a coffee table in the middle. Because Su Le was too excited, he was not ready for a long time, and he was still picking out clothes! So the two ladies first exchanged piano skills.
After a while, Mulan estimated that it was almost over, so she went to call Su Le over. Su Le sat cross-legged behind Mulan, nodded to Cai Yan and said, "I am deeply honored to meet a talented woman who is famous in Chang'an. ā
Although Cai Yan is only seventeen or eighteen years old at present, about the same age as Su Le, he looks much more mature and stable. This may be related to the fact that she was born in a scholarly family and is relatively calm, and another tragic marriage has increased her sense of vicissitudes.
"This is Mr. Su Le, who helped my father get out of prison, my father told me, Wen Ji is very grateful!"
Su Le didn't know how Cai Yan was sure that he was helping, probably because Diao Chan wrote Su Le's name to Wang Yun, and finally Cai Yan also knew.
Saying that, Cai Yan gave Su Le a big gift, and after she got up, Mulan smiled and said to her: "You're welcome, you just don't say anything and let him die, he will also think about it...... Yes! ā
Su Le pinched Mulan's calf and said, "How could Miss Cai Yan make such a request!" ā
"Hehe......" Cai Yan covered his mouth with his wide sleeves and laughed twice, "I'm sorry, I was rude, the relationship between the two is really good, and they are much more optimistic than me." ā
"Wen Ji, haven't you seen it yet? You are the most exciting type of kid - become gentle and have a strong heart. Mulan said.
"This is really a big award, I may not be as strong as Mr. Su Le thought, right? And a lot of people say I'm very proud. Cai Yan replied.
Mulan and Su Le were speechless, and they couldn't use what might happen to explain Cai Yan's quality.
Cai Yan saw that the two of them didn't speak, so he continued: "But since the two of you are so affordable, I will try my best to be a stable and strong woman." ā
"Miss Cai Yan can definitely do it." Su Le said movingly.
"Thank you, Mr. Su Le, for your kind words." Cai Yan said, "I came here today, in addition to verbal thanks, I also want to ask Mr. Su Le if there is anything I need my help with?" Of course, there is very little I can do compared to Mr. Su Le's kindness. ā
"Actually, there are a lot of them, but I think he's embarrassed to say those excessive demands!"
Mulan also took the opportunity to pinch Su Le, warning him not to talk nonsense, and at the same time avenging the revenge just now.
"It hurts!" Su Le thought for a while and said, "It would be nice if Miss Cai Yan taught Miss Mulan chess skills at the same time." ā
"There's no problem with this, if you two learn together, you can just play against each other, and I can also teach Mr. Su Le calligraphy and piano skills." Cai Yan said.
"The piano is something that women learn, and I am interested in calligraphy, but it is still a lot more troublesome than Go. I'm not afraid of Miss Cai Yan's jokes, in fact, I can't recognize many words, and I guess my writing is worse than a child's words. Su Le said embarrassedly.
"Calligraphy does require kung fu, but the piano is not necessarily a woman's thing, and the best at playing the piano in ancient times was not a man? Since Mr. Su Le wants to learn Go, let's start with Go. ā
"Yes, it's more interesting for the three of them to play chess, I'll go and prepare."
Saying that, Mulan got up and left, and the two were alone, and Su Le didn't dare to look directly at Cai Yan.
Cai Yan was married after all, and the ancients were early adults, so she smiled and said to Su Le: "Mr. Su Le doesn't have to be so restrained. ā
"Hmmm......"
Saying that, Su Le glanced up at Cai Yan, and sure enough, he was somewhat similar to Mulan's sister Shulan, mainly in temperament. Cai Yan is young but already a widow, and Shulan is unmarried but older, and both of them seem to be stable and gentle.
Just when Su Le watched stupidly and Cai Yan smiled faintly, Mulan had already brought up the chessboard and chess pieces.
(I checked some information about Go, and the chess pieces in the Three Kingdoms period should still be square, and the chessboard is smaller than the later nineteen daos, which are seventeen daos.) In order to facilitate the reading of the game, it is set to the current 19x19 board with a total of 361 points. ļ¼
After Mulan put the chessboard away, Cai Yan said to her, "I'll play a game with Mr. Su Le first to see how good his chess skills are." ā
"Well, but Wen Ji, you don't want to show mercy to your subordinates, you must kill him without leaving a piece of armor." Mulan said.
"This ...... I'll do my best, does Mr. Su Le know the rules of Go? Cai Yan asked.
"I probably know that if there are opponent's chess pieces or boundaries all around, and there are no gaps inside and at the border, then the besieged chess pieces will be removed, as if they are surrounded and annihilated on the battlefield." Su Le replied.
"Well, that's basically it, but if you only have one breath eye, you still won't survive." Cai Yan added.
"Then let's start, ladies first, Miss Cai Yan first."
"It's better for Mr. Su Le to go first, I'd better let you have a few sons." Cai Yan said with a smile.
Su Le was underestimated, and of course he felt uncomfortable, but he had just played indiscriminately, and he was really not convinced.
"Then I'll use the sunspot to go down first, I feel that it is more appropriate for women to use white, as for the child, I don't need it, I'd rather die standing than live on my knees." Su Lepan sat down and said.
Cai Yan and Mulan sat on their knees, looked at Su Le's stubborn appearance, and smiled at each other.
"In that case, then Mr. Su Le will start working."
If we use coordinates to describe the position of the falling piece, if the lower left corner of the chessboard as seen by Su Le is one digit, the upper position is one or two digits, and the right position is two digits, and the position of the "star" in the modern chessboard is four or four digits.
Of course, Su Le honestly placed four or four, and Cai Yan responded with six or three. Su Le then played in four or six, this hand was not aggressive, Su Le's plan was to shrink and defend, he understood that his chess strength was definitely not as good as Cai Yan, and strategically he just wanted not to lose too ugly.
Cai Yan then went down to the fourth and second to try to capture the lower left corner, Su Le went down to the third and third to defend, and Cai Yan extended to the right with the point of nine and three.
The corners and edges are more important than the center in Go, because a small number of pieces can occupy more territory, which is a bit like not having to be attacked on your back when you are fighting. From Su Le's point of view, the two of them each made three hands, dividing the lower left corner equally, Su Le occupied the upper side of the lower left corner, and Cai Yan occupied the lower left corner to the right side.
In the subsequent competition for the other four corners, Su Le was not obviously at a disadvantage. After the layout ended, entering the battle for the prelude, Su Le also tried to lay out on the sidelines, and Cai Yan was also very gentle and did not attack actively.
Since there are very few fights, and the two are not gambling on chess, they are not very serious and play very fast.
In the mid-game competition, a large area in the middle of the chessboard was taken away by Cai Yan, and Su Le just killed a few dragons from the corners to make trouble. Approaching the official stage, Su Le, a more adventurous long dragon, was also besieged and killed by Cai Yan.
In short, from the layout - the prologue - the middle board - the official, Su Le lost more and more, and in general, nearly three-quarters of the area on the chessboard was occupied by Cai Yan.
