Chapter 152: Chess Conference Warm-up

Calligraphy can no longer be practiced, Su Yi is reluctant to practice this commemorative pen, so she has to enter the training ground to study, and silently made up her mind to choose some stronger brushes. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

At around half past six, Wu Xia and Jiang You came to visit, and Su Yi and the two went out together.

The three of them talked and laughed, and they all talked about what they saw and heard on the first day in the county college, exchanged today's learning experience, and after a while, they came to the salt building in the north of the city.

Listening to Wu Xia, this building was set up by a salt merchant, at first it was used for the exchange of merchants, and later the salt boss was elegant and elegant, learning literature and martial arts, so it gradually changed into a place for the scholars to communicate.

The salt building is not big, there are only a dozen seats, and there is no box on the second floor, thirty or forty students from the county college gathered on the first floor, and when they saw Su Yi coming in, they immediately stopped talking, and got up one after another to say hello.

Su Yi also smiled and returned the salute one by one, and then slowly glanced at the audience, and found that half of them were classmates of Jianmei Zhai, and the other half didn't know each other.

Han Xiuzhu smiled and beckoned, Su Yi nodded, and sat down with Jiang You and Wu Xia, and Ning Caiquan was also at this table.

After Han Xiuzhu's introduction, Su Yi knew that these faces were all students of Fenghezhai in Shangshe, and the young man named Han Shuang at noon was Han Xiuzhu's cousin, and he was able to enter the Shangshe to study at a young age, which can be regarded as extraordinary.

Han Xiuzhu is not only the head of Fenghezhai, but also the representative of the entire county college, but Han Leshan is not in Fenghezhai, so he did not come to this welcome party.

After everyone introduced themselves, Su Yi memorized everyone's faces and names with her ability to never forget.

Suddenly, a student surnamed Wang stood up and said in a loud voice: "It's rare for our two students to gather together, so why don't we just hold a debate meeting! All the people present who are cultivating soldiers, and there are also people who are minors in other hundred academic schools, will debate the philosophies of the hundred schools, and those who lose will be punished with wine! Of course, the winning side has a lottery, and I will come out!"

Everyone present was in an uproar.

"Haha, Brother Wang, we all know that your family is extremely rich, but money is not spent like this, all of you here are just martial arts students preparing for the academy exam, what great philosophy can you say? Someone shook his head and laughed, then took a sip of his own wine.

"What is the Jixia School Palace?" asked Su Yi.

"It is a special school that specializes in teaching and studying hundreds of schools of thought; there are hundreds of academic disputes everywhere in this school, even if there are schools of thought within each school, such as the Confucian dispute between good and evil, the conflict of Legalist laws, etc., and the style of study is extremely strong; moreover, many hundred classics, such as "Tianzi", "Song Zi" and even the monumental work "Guanzi", etc., are all from here. Han Xiuzhu replied with a smile.

Su Yi nodded, Han Shuang saw that his cousin was so enthusiastic about outsiders, and his face was tight.

At this time, some people said: "This is not possible, if this kind of debate is to be held, won't all the lottery heads have to be taken away by the Xiuzhu brothers of the Jingyan Dao and Fa families? Moreover, today's gathering is to clean up the dust for the three new students, and if they hold any kind of competition, it will be too unfriendly! Everyone has the desire to win, but it should not be shown here, and when the chess conference is held before the academy examination next month, it will not be too late for everyone to fight again!"

Everyone laughed and laughed noisily.

"Ladies and gentlemen, when I first came from Sushui County, many people mentioned the chess tournament to me, but they didn't know how this tournament was held?" Su Yi got up, arched his hand and asked, and then sat down.

"Well, it's normal for you not to know, after all, the chess conference is only held once a year, and this will be presided over by Han Xiang and the two families, and the victory or defeat of each session determines the share of cultivation resources that the two families will enjoy next year, which is of great significance, so the two will desperately attract talents below pedestrians before the game, so that people can sign up for the chess game and help the two families. Ning Caiquan introduced.

"A game of chess, others can also participate?" Su Yi was even more surprised.

"Hehe, the chess conference in South Xuzhou is no better than other places, the scale is extremely grand, the rules are also surprising, each participant can play the chess pieces in the chessboard, although the whole chess game is commanded by the general, but the most critical role is still the chess pieces in the chessboard! Wu Xia asked mysteriously.

The local students of the state city present couldn't look up to their smiles, and there was an indescribable meaning in their smiles, and Su Yi knew through Ning Caiquan's hint that this was the local custom of Southern Xuzhou, and the introduction of the chess conference always said that half was hidden and half was half, deliberately fishing for the appetite of visitors from other places.

Su Yi was even more curious about the chess conference.

"Cough, no matter what, Su Mitian, you just need to know that the chess conference is not just an entertainment game, and there are also the grievances of the Han Xiang family condensed in it, the winner is the king, and the loser is Kou; Han Xiuzhu said, shaking his head and sighing, his expression sighing.

"Hmph, with the background of my Han family, I have already strengthened Xiangmen by more than a star and a half, and I want to fight, there is no Xiang family in Southern Xuzhou for a long time, and those who have repaired with the Xiang family are all ......" In the corner, Han Shuang's low murmur came.

A few people heard it and pouted, not taking it seriously at all.

Han Xiuzhu looked at Su Yi, and when he wanted to speak, Ning Caiquan took over.

"All in all, the results of each chess conference are very important, not only affecting the situation of the two Han and Xiang families, but also affecting the life and welfare of the residents on both sides of the 'Chu River and Han Boundary'. Ning Caiquan said.

"I think this kind of competitive atmosphere is very good, which is conducive to stimulating the development of the city and the people's upward spirit, but I don't know, who has won more in the past between the two Han Xiang families?"

"It's not good for me to say this, Hanmen's win rate against Xiangmen is about six to four. Han Xiuzhu shrugged his shoulders and replied.

"Well, and Xiangmen has lost five in a row in recent years, which is very embarrassing. Bao Jia also said.

Everyone fell silent, and someone immediately adjusted the atmosphere smartly, saying: "That's it, there are people present who support the Han family, and there are also people who support the Xiang family, and it's not good to say these topics in front of Brother Xiuzhu, so press it; ”

This person just mentioned it casually, but it immediately attracted many people to look at Su Yi, looking curious, and they all wanted to know Su Yi's attitude towards the two families.

Su Yi's eyelids jumped, thinking that she must not fall into the quagmire, so she smiled and said: "I am a newcomer, and there are many rules that I don't understand, and I just want to be a spectator at this year's chess conference, just watch the excitement." ”

Everyone expressed their regrets, and some people expressed their understanding of Su Yimingzhe's attitude of protecting himself, after all, everyone present was just a martial artist, and the water between the doors was too deep, it was easy to get involved, but it was difficult to get out.

After the topic of the chess conference was finished, just as the tea before the meal was finished, Han Xiuzhu called the restaurant guys to start serving.

The wine and food were served, and the atmosphere became warm again, everyone chatted from all over the world, from the folk customs of South Xuzhou to the political situation of the temple, from which geisha in the Qinglou was the most talented, to which adult was caught by the insider when he visited the kiln, and even chatted about his own past, which greatly enhanced the feelings between the people present, and gave Su Yi the illusion of returning to the alumni meeting in his previous life.

Only Han Shuang was silent, drinking alone, Han Xiuzhu caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of his eye, and shook his head and sighed imperceptibly.

Everyone talked about the next month's college exam, which naturally led the topic to the competition for the leader.

Someone asked Han Xiuzhu how sure he was of winning the top spot, and the latter glanced at Su Yi, then quickly withdrew his gaze and smiled.

"In the past, I was ninety percent sure that I would have won the top spot, but after Su Mitian came, I was only fifty percent sure. Han Xiuzhu took a sip of wine slowly.

The audience was in an uproar, Han Xiuzhu is a real genius of Tianzhong, even if he is called the "first martial artist" in Southern Xuzhou, it is not an exaggeration at all; although everyone admits that Su Yi has great talents, but the hospital examination is not better than the county examination, there are many and difficult projects, Su Yi has only studied for two months, how can he compare with Han Xiuzhu, who has accumulated a lot of experience.

Even Su Yi herself felt that Han Xiuzhu was lifting him.

Brother Xiuzhu laughed, he didn't have much confidence in the bottom, it was not easy to pass the college exam, and it was difficult to ask for the top ten, so how could he compete with others for the top position. Su Yi smiled.

Su Yi is just a rough trial, and the dance knife is a huge shortcoming, and he himself doesn't have much confidence that he can get the five-chip pass score of the dance knife.

Fortunately, the double shot and the dancing knife are jointly calculated to calculate the average number of chips, otherwise if it is a single chip calculation and one is unqualified, Su Yi will not even dare to say whether he can pass the hospital exam.

But when Han Xiuzhu heard Su Yi's answer, he smiled and said nothing.

Everyone talked about other topics until nine o'clock in the evening, and the interest gradually faded, so Han Xiuzhu called his buddy and asked him to present the finale wine.

Su Yi curiously watched as the guy brought a jar of wine, just opened it, the wine was fragrant and pure, which lifted the spirits of everyone present.

The guy poured a glass for everyone present, and as soon as Su Yi tasted it, he felt silky and moisturized his throat and had a mellow taste, and couldn't help but whisper "good wine".

Seeing this, Han Xiuzhu smiled indifferently and said: "Su Mitian, this wine is the treasure of this town store that built a salt building, it is a special product of Lanling County, it is brewed with honey and tulips, the taste is mellow, it is really a good wine that has not been seen in a hundred years, I heard that the princess of Lanling County also loves this wine, but because of its complex process and small output, so the export is restricted, if it is not for the shopkeeper and Lanling County is too old-fashioned, you really can't get this kind of wine; ”

Su Yi turned his head to look and saw the shopkeeper at the counter smiling at him, so he got up and bowed.

"Thank you for the kindness of the host's family. Su Yi said loudly, and the others also thanked each other.

"It's okay, Su Mitian is here, naturally he wants to be entertained, although the store is small, it can't be favored. ”

The shopkeeper said with a smile and waved his hand, signaling that everyone didn't need to care.

Ning Caiquan proposed: "If it weren't for the three of you this time, we really wouldn't be able to taste this kind of wine, so the three of you might as well evaluate this wine to thank the shopkeeper." (To be continued.) )
