Living in a grass house in Hedong, there are always many inconveniences in life, especially the Zhao Dahu couple, who always fight earth-shattering, making Ye Chunqiu sleep uneasy.

Every three or five days, the Ye family will send some things, Ye San has been fighting with the villagers recently, Ye Chunqiu is too lazy to pay attention to these, his mind is on the house test, so he no longer moves, and he is even more lazy to go to the peach orchard.

But on the afternoon of the third day, someone came to Taoyuan, it was the servant who laughed at Ye Chunqiu at first, and the servant brought some gifts, saying: "The villain has seen the Spring and Autumn Prince, is the Spring and Autumn Princes still studying hard?" My master is looking forward to the Spring and Autumn Young Master going to Taoyuan day and night, I don't know when the Spring and Autumn Young Master will be free? ”

Ye Chunqiu had forgotten about this, and he never thought that the old man was still thinking about himself, he couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said: "I want to study, the exam is about to start, if my father knows that I am playing chess with others here, he will have to kill me." ”

The servant's face suddenly became gloomy, the master's endgame, but no matter what, it couldn't be solved, it had reached the point of thinking about it day and night, and he was looking forward to trying again with this young man, and now people didn't come, and said that he had something to do, Nima, why did you go earlier, when you were driven away, didn't you have to rely on studying chess with the master?

"This ...... Just take the time to see it, it won't be delayed much. The servant had a bitter face and looked at Ye Chunqiu pitifully.

Ye Chunqiu shook his head and said: "This can't be done, if you pass the government exam, it's fine, if you don't win, won't the clansmen blame your lord and say that your lord has ruined my studies?" ”

The servant couldn't help but be disappointed, so he had to say, "Then it's bothering and take your leave." ”

He walked out of the house with a disappointed face, and couldn't help muttering a few words in his mouth: "What's the spirit, do you think your Ye family is ......?"

How did he know that his whining words were really heard by Ye Chunqiu in the grass house.

This person is really cheap, if he doesn't go to meet your master, he will speak evil words and ruin his character.

As soon as he thought of this, Ye Chunqiu couldn't sit still, pushed open the firewood door, and called the servant: "Wait." ”

The servant was about to leave, but when he heard Ye Chunqiu stop him, he came back in a hurry: "Young Master Chunqiu...... Could it be ......"

Ye Chunqiu looked at him with a little coldness in his eyes, he hated this kind of evil slave who looked down on people the most, and said: "Your master is looking forward to learning chess skills with me, but I can't come to the door in person to ask for benefits, so I might as well draw a few endgames and see with your master." ”

The servant's spirit was shocked, this surnamed Ye refused to go, it was really difficult to explain when he went back, and now Ye Chunqiu was willing to use letters to learn, and he could finally give the master a little comfort, so he said happily: "This is the best, there is Young Master Lao Chunqiu." ”

Ye Chunqiu wanted to laugh in his heart, you stupid, originally your master was going to die or live because of an endgame, and he didn't think about tea and dinner, and now give him a few more endgames, this is obviously a tiger and wolf medicine, you are still very happy, do you really think you picked up something cheap?

Uneducated...... It's scary.

Of course...... Let your wicked servant remember a little lesson.

Ye Chunqiu didn't say a word, returned to the grass house to prepare pen, ink, paper and inkstone, drew a few endgames, and repaired a book, the letter was naturally very polite, only said that he was ashamed, he couldn't ask for benefits in person, and hoped to forgive Yunyun.

The pit people return to the pit people, but the etiquette is to be thorough.

He gave the letter to the wicked servant, who smiled happily and thanked him in a hurry, and then left in high spirits.

…………

Early the next morning, Ye Chunqiu got up with a haha, it was rare today, Zhao Dahu and his wife, who lived nearby, did not quarrel, and Ye Chunqiu got up on three poles.

After he washed, he saw a few strong men carrying a rattan sedan chair in the distance, and when the rattan sedan chair approached, the old man came out of the stopped sedan chair, the old man looked tired, his eye sockets were deep, obviously he hadn't slept well in the past few days, he saw Ye Chunqiu washing in front of the grass house, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly stepped forward and said: "But Ye Xian's nephew?" How did Ye Xian's nephew do his homework? Oh...... The old man was just passing by here and stopping by to take a look. ”

Also passing through this place...... Ye Chunqiu wanted to laugh in his heart. Of course Ye Chunqiu understands the old gentleman's intention, he was already fascinated by an endgame, and now he has sent a few pairs, but I am afraid that at this time, the old gentleman is already going crazy.

Ye Chunqiu said with a look of surprise: "Mr. came from afar, and the kid couldn't meet him from afar, so damn it." ”

The old man was speechless, the young man was polite, but there was always a look of rejection thousands of miles away, and he couldn't get warm, he said: "I don't know if the virtuous nephew is free now?" You and I might as well play a game. ”

"Ah......" Ye Chunqiu looked surprised and regretful, and said: "I still have to read books, the government exam is getting closer and closer, the kid really has no bottom in his heart, but ......" He continued in embarrassment: "But if Mr. really wants to go down, the boy, as a junior, should accompany him even if he occasionally abandons some studies." ”

It's a nice thing to say, but it's a completely soft nail, and you're going to play chess, right? It's okay, I don't study anymore, okay to accompany you?

Is there sincerity? Of course, very sincerely.

It's just that...... The old man's old face couldn't help twitching, he was a big man, and he was embarrassed to let a young scholar not do his job and play chess with him?

If you spread it, it will make people poke your backbone, and the old man said, "Ah...... Need not...... Need not...... The old man just said casually, you are good at studying, don't live up to the expectations of your father, brother and grandparents, the old man just said, just passing through here, uh... It's important to do business. ”

He said this in his mouth, but he couldn't move, his heart was itchy, and his mind was full of that pair of endgames, which made him want to stop.

It's hard to bother, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "It's hard work, and the old man still has to visit his old friend and say goodbye." ”

He walked away, his heart full of mixed feelings and regrets.

Ye Chunqiu was a little unbearable, he was not obsessed with anything, but he knew the mood of people who were addicted to a certain hobby, Ye Chunqiu almost wanted to stop the old man, but the old man who went far away was hugged by the evil servant who carried him with him, and the evil servant said: "Master, this Ye family's ......"

I couldn't hear the words clearly, but Ye Chunqiu also knew that the person couldn't spit out good words in his mouth, and he couldn't help but smile in his heart, he was hungry, or his stomach was important, whether his master could solve those endgames, what does it have to do with me?

……

The old man had already gotten on the rattan sedan chair, his face was depressed, and there was a mad impulse, seeing that the young man had returned to the house, knowing that he was going to return empty-handed today, hey...... It seems that I am going to meditate hard again tonight, and when I think of this, I feel inexplicably irritable, why can't I solve it, it's better to ......

His heart moved, and he said, "Blessing." ”

"What do you command?"

The old man sat in the sedan chair and dusted off the dust on his filial piety clothes, and said quietly: "Go home, oh, these days, you go to Nanjing, the old man wants to repair a book, and discuss chess skills with Brother Songshan." ”

Laifu hurriedly said: "Yes." He knew in his heart that the master had nothing to do, so he had to seek the help of his chess friends, and he couldn't help but be a little annoyed when he thought that the young man actually used a few endgames to make his master not think about it.
