Liu Chonghu's eyes looked over, and his eyes lit up when he saw Yuan Lai.

The face that had always been calm and gentle also had a hint of fluctuation, and that fluctuation was called surprise and surprise.

Liu Chonghu is a very cultivated and tasteful person, although his every move is not as polite as the doctor in the capital, but he has a little bit of freedom and ease, in Yuan's opinion, the temperament is so similar to the palm tea that he encountered in the immortal residence.

It's just that the free and easy of Lu Zhangcha is natural, which makes people feel very natural and comfortable, and makes people feel that this person is unusual and attractive at a glance.

And Liu Chonghu's free and easy is much worse, he is more of a genius temperament, not frivolous, arrogant, arrogant with the wind, hovering in the corners of clothes, eyebrows.

In addition, Liu Chonghu is a little cold and doesn't like to talk, but every sentence makes people listen carefully, which is the temperament of a genius.

Yuan Lai felt his gaze, so he greeted him, and what caught Liu Chonghu's eyes was a very contradictory person.

There is a smell of fireworks flowing from top to bottom, and it is very smart to see that this Yuan is not stereotyped, but he is also by no means romantic, he should be more like to laugh, rarely sad, some wildness but should be very important to the rules, and not stick to the rules.

This slightly contradictory feeling comes from Yuan Lai's vivid body and very steady eyes.

It's like a tornado, it can go berserk, but it's extremely quiet at the eye of the storm.

This feeling is only the first feeling in a trance, and it disappears in an instant.

When the housekeeper saw it, his eyes suddenly narrowed, and he said, "Yuan Gongzi looked at the chessboard, could it be that he also likes this?"

Yuan Lai was stunned for a moment, feeling that this guy was really talking nonsense with his eyes open, he was just looking at Liu Chonghu, where did he look at the broken chessboard?

But when you go out, you still have to talk about the scene.

Yuan Lai smiled and said, "When I came in earlier, I heard that someone was playing chess here, but I didn't understand this, so I just took a look." ”

"Yuan Gongzi is too modest, this poem, book, article, qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, are all together, where is there a scholar who can't play chess, hehe. The butler said again.

This is really true, there are really few people who can't play chess in Qiguo, of course, whether they play well or badly is another matter.

Yuan Lai glanced at him, and felt that this person really had to take an inch, and he was generous enough to take a step back first, but he really climbed the pole, and he couldn't bite himself?

I was just about to shoot back a few words, but I heard Liu Chonghu suddenly say, "Next game?"

These words were addressed to Yuan, and in the eyes of some guests they were invited, and in the eyes of others, they were invitations to war.

If he and Liu Chonghu are two swordsmen who met in a narrow way, then Liu Chonghu obviously drew his sword.

Yuan Lai's first reaction was that the master and servant cooperated to set themselves up, and they were villains. But when he looked at Liu Chonghu with some unhappiness, he suddenly felt that this person didn't seem to want to take the opportunity to get back on the field, but really just wanted to play the next game with him, or chat.

Because there was no meanness in Liu Chonghu's eyes, only a trace of interest.

Yuan believes in his own level of looking at people, Liu Chonghu should not be digging a pit, but just a bystander, and now he is casually pushing himself into the pit, which looks quite nothing, but he may not want to fill the pit and bury Yuan Lai.

Because he said again: "There are a lot of people here, it's a little hot, go sit by the window, Steward Liu, you go and urge dinner." ”

The first half of this sentence is for the onlookers, which means not to come to watch, and the second half of the sentence is for the housekeeper Liu, which means that you don't come to mix.

He also took a step back.

Since this person knew each other so well, Yuan Lai gave up the idea of taking out some famous games of ancient and modern Go to trap the other party.

Yuan Lai really doesn't know how to play Go, at most he has only heard some proper nouns in his ears when he watched his elders play chess before, but he does know a few hand-me-down chess books, and he wrote them down by chance, and if he uses them well, he may not lose face.

It's just that Steward Liu didn't know this, and after listening to Liu Chonghu's words, he glanced at Yuan Lai a little unwillingly, and then nodded and left.

......

Or the window is clean.

Liu Chonghu and Yuan Lai sat down, and then Liu Chonghu pointed to the chessboard on the table and said, "What are you doing?"

Yuan Lai blinked his eyes, shook his head extremely honestly, and said, "I won't do this." ”

"No?" Liu Chonghu looked at him suspiciously, very surprised.

"I really don't, I haven't studied. Yuan Lai was also a little ashamed.

Liu Chonghu put down his fingers rubbing the chess pieces, and paused before saying, "I can't learn, I can teach you." ”

That looks like a bit of a senior, and he is indeed five years older than the original, so it's very stress-free to say this.

"Is there a game of Go that is being taught and learned? Yuan Lai rolled his eyes.

Liu Chonghu was silent for a moment before he said: "When I was eight years old, I saw my father playing against others, and after watching it for a quarter of an hour, I understood the rules, so I played against my father, and I lost the first three games, and I never lost after three games, until now." ”

“......”

Yuan came to look at him and felt that he was watching a true genius.

It wasn't until Liu Chonghu frowned a little that Yuan Lai exhaled: "I'm not a genius." ”

"You know, I was called Yuan Fool a few days ago, I was too stupid when I was a child, and I ran away with several gentlemen, and my father didn't have a problem, so he threw me to the mountain, but I was still too stupid, I didn't learn anything for three years, and I was sent home by the master. ”

Yuan Lai smiled, he didn't have a "talent" style at all.

"Your poems are very well written. Liu Chonghu said.

"The article is made by nature, and it is a clever hand. Not to my credit. Yuan Lai waved his hand, and said in his heart that it was all the merits of his predecessors, and he couldn't be shameless and skinless, and he was proud when he took it and used it, so unkind!

"The article is made by nature...... Clever hand...... Good sentences. Liu Chonghu read it again and praised, his eyes lit up slightly.

“......”

Yuan Lai sighed.

"Anyway, I don't know how to play Go, I'm not a genius, and I can't learn. ”

"And what kind of chess do you play?"

Yuan looked at the chessboard, pondered for a moment, and said tentatively: "I know backgammon." ”

"What kind of chess is that?"

"Haven't you heard of it? Okay, then I'll teach you. Yuan was happy, and suddenly felt that the feeling of being a teacher came again.

"Good. Liu Chonghu said with some interest.

Yuan Lai was very happy, it was really a very comfortable thing to be able to coach a real genius, but soon he couldn't laugh, because the rules of backgammon were too simple after all.

In the first game, Yuan Lai won.

In the second game, Yuan Lai lost......

"Otherwise, I'll teach you to play individual chess. Yuan Lai thought about it and said.

"Good. Liu Chonghu still did not hesitate.

"It's called Reversi......"

Othello looks simple, but the rules are very complex, and this kind of chess has its own philosophical principles in it, not a momentary gain or loss, every step is mysterious, often to the death, Jedi turnover, much more complicated than backgammon.

This time, Yuan Lai and Liu Chonghu played three rounds, Yuan Lai won the first two games, and he lost in the third game.

Yuan Lai sighed, put down the chess pieces, and sighed: "You are really a genius, okay, I lost, and I guess I won't be able to win a game if I go down." ”

Liu Chonghu shook his head suddenly, and said in a somewhat incomprehensible tone: "Actually, I lost." ”

He said it very seriously, not like a joke, and at the same time looked at Yuan Lai differently, from the beginning of his interest to the current ...... Conscientious.

It's as if he really started to see Yuan as a ...... Rival.
