"What is taught in the prison of the country is better than anything." The girl's tone was casual.

"In the Guozi Prison, there are professors of Lile poetry, calligraphy, painting, chess, and riding and archery-" Song Xian's eyes seemed to see through the girl's intentions: "Does Chang Niangzi want to compare calligraphy and painting?" ”

In the end, the most praised thing about this Chang family girl is the picture of the tiger in the mountains, forests.

Although he hadn't seen it yet, he knew that she had some skills in calligraphy and painting, but if she wanted to compare with this, he was not afraid.

In the end, the best of women and the best of men are not the same after all.

Song Xian's demeanor was calm.

But the girl shook her head.

"It's not like calligraphy and painting." She actually said: "It's not as good as riding and shooting, I'm very good at both and talented, even if I win, I can't win and my conscience is disturbed." ”

She looks like she "doesn't want to bully people with her talent".

Song Xian was stunned for a moment and then almost sneered.

The people in the poetry club behind him or the literati who came to participate in the poetry meeting also looked at each other when they heard it, and the crowd didn't know who sneered instead of Song Xian.

】

This little girl is not very old, but she is just beginning to show her fame, and her tone is not small at all!

Should she really think that she has made a painting and has received a lot of recognition and praise, so she can despise Song Juren, who is the most optimistic in the spring of the coming year?

But there was no contempt in the girl's eyes.

On the contrary, she seems to be taking her respect very seriously and wants to compete as fairly as possible.

In the private room on the second floor, someone stood in front of the open window, just taking in the scene in the backyard.

In the face of the girl's words, if the sarcasm is hollowed out at this time, it is inferior, so Song Xianzheng said: "Okay, even so, it is not as good as poetry." ”

The implication is that poetry is what he is good at, and he can't bully people—especially a girl.

Chang Sui Ning nodded with a smile: "Okay." ”

In this situation, the two sides are humble and complement each other's demeanor, and at first glance there is really a literati courtesy demeanor.

But there is still tension between the two parties.

There are also some people who are purely lively, such as Tan Li, who came to participate in the poetry meeting, and they talked in a low voice at this time.

"What's that going to be like?"

"Lile?"

But the etiquette learned by men and women is different, and it is said that it is taught by the Guozijian, but the Chang Niangzi has never really entered the Guozijian ceremony, so she is still a bit of a bully......

As for musical instruments, this is a music hall......

While everyone was thinking about it, they saw the girl raise her hand and show to the stone table on the side: "How about not playing chess?" ”

The girl wore a red silk skirt, her figure was slim and erect, and the shawl embroidered with the crane between her hands moved slightly with the wind, making her posture more casual and even graceful.

The word demeanor has always been difficult for people to have such intuitive feelings in a little woman.

Song Xian looked at the stone table.

Although chess is more gentlemanly than musical instruments, it is different from many musical instruments, learning chess only requires a chess game, a chessboard, and a brain willing to study - his family is not wealthy, and he has been playing chess almost all since he was a child, except for reading, which is one of the few elegant preferences that can improve his temperament without spending too much.

Later, he was able to get acquainted with more people who were good at chess, and gradually became a lifter, went to the Beijing Division, and entered the Guozijian, with more mentors and friends around him, and his chess skills also grew day by day.

The other party is a beautiful Jingshi, and learning chess is also a must, but above the chess game, superficial skills are just an introduction.

The chessboard is also a world, which tests not only skills, but also the mind, thinking, decision-making and means of the chess player.

Therefore, playing chess can be self-cultivation, and it is also practice.

Frankly, he didn't think that a little woman who was so grandiose and upright could understand this.

"Does Chang Niangzi really want to compete with Song?" He asked.

"Well, that's better than that." She said, "I'm playing pretty good chess. ”

There were people in the Xunmei Club who knew Song Xian's chess skills, and they let out a sneer.

"It's not bad" is not enough to play against Brother Song Xian!

Song Xian's face no longer saw those ups and downs: "If this is the case, then it is a chess game." ”

The two sides finalized it, and Cui Lang urged a pot: "Go and let someone get the chessboard!" ”

"It's not only interesting to compare, but also to be colorful." Chang Sui Ning Dao.

Song Xian raised his guard silently: "What bet does Chang Niangzi want——"

He didn't have anything of value on him...... Didn't the other party want to humiliate him in public?

But I heard the girl say: "Then win or lose, if I lose, I will no longer set foot in the country, and the Wuji Society will be dissolved." ”

All of a sudden, it was noisy.

Not only Song Xian and others were surprised, but Cui Lang and others were also shocked.

"Master, this ......" Cui Lang leaned over and whispered euphemistically, "Wouldn't this be too risky?" ”

How did the master put down himself and the Juju Society? He doesn't want to lose his home in Guozijian!

Chang Sui Ning disagreed: "There is no bet, no pain, no itch, no risk, what's the fun at all?" ”

Cui Lang felt a pain in his heart when he heard this-of course you can bet, but gambling on something else, and pressing the family, isn't this the work of a proper loser?

Woo...... He suddenly understood how A-Niang felt when she looked at him in the past!

"Master......"

He was about to say more, but the girl glanced at him, as if to say, "any more mouths will press you down."

Cui Lang wanted to cry without tears, and his mouth was very aggrieved.

"Very good, Chang Niangzi has courage and is admirable!" There are people from the Plum Hunting Club who praise and make peace.

seems to praise harmony, but in fact, it sets people up and does not give people room for regret.

Song Xian was noncommittal about this, and only asked Chang Suining: "Then what if Song loses?" ”

Although this may be very small, he must at least know the other party's calculations.

Chang Suining: "I heard that Song Juren wanted to worship wine as a teacher before-"

After a moment of silence, everyone in the Plum Hunting Society changed their faces.

Is this revealing people's scars and showing off that he worshiped Qiao Sacrificial Wine as a teacher?

It's just based on the original relationship, what is there to show off?

Song Xian pursed the corners of his mouth slightly: "What does Chang Niangzi want to say?" ”

"According to this, Song Juren has never really worshipped anyone as a teacher, and there is no teacher, right?"

Song Xian looked at her.

All those who teach the profession, or the scribes and elders who know how to help each other, can certainly be called a teacher, but there is indeed no one who offers a cup of tea for apprenticeship.

"Yes or no, so what?"

"Then Song Juren may have a teacher soon." The girl looked at him and said, "If you lose, how about you worship me as a teacher?" ”

Song Xian almost laughed.

Sure enough, he is still arrogant and arrogant, and he doesn't know the severity, and he only cares about grandstanding and attracting people's attention!

"This is clearly entertaining Brother Song Xian......"

"Brother Song doesn't have to pay attention to such a ridiculous proposal."

In the midst of the resentful persuasion, Song Xian said: "Then make a bet with this." ”

No matter how ridiculous it is, it can't be true, so you can only let the other party act in words.

There's nothing he doesn't dare to bet on.

Since he agreed to compete with the other party, he did not flinch.

He didn't care about comparing the same little girl in public, but his dissatisfaction with the other party had just been laid out, he needed to compete with the other party, he needed to win a game with dignity and effortlessly-

In this way, his dissatisfaction can be justified, and he will be qualified enough to say those words, instead of only daring to talk about her as a little girl behind her back.

The chessboard was quickly set up, and Song Xian was already seated.

He didn't mean to bully her, and after winning, he would admit that he had won her as a woman, and he wouldn't really force her to fulfill her bet, whether it was to leave the Guozijian or dissolve the Wuji Society.

He's not the aggressive kind.

He just needed to prove that his grievances were justified, he just needed to thwart her self-righteous flamboyance.

He was ready to win, and he was ready to show the gentlemanly demeanor of a man after winning.

So he raised his hand: "Chang Niangzi please first." ”

Chang Suining was not polite to him, and raised his hand to take the white child.

The two of them first landed two seats at the opposite corners, and then Chang Sui Ning took the white son first.

"Click" sounded softly, the chess game was square, the chess pieces were round, the square circle was vertical and horizontal, and the world was opened by the girl's white son.

As the news came in the music hall, more and more people came here to watch.

"Who's gambling with whom?"

"That Song Xian Song Juren...... And a girl! ”

"How do you compare to a girl?"

"It's not an ordinary girl, it's that ordinary lady......"

"That Chang Niang!"

When the prince of Rong, who was dressed in regular clothes, heard these voices, he couldn't help but smile slightly: "From this 'Chang Niangzi', you can know that Chang Niangzi has really become a famous Beijing master in just a few months, and no one knows it." ”

And if you think about it carefully, you can see that such a rapid road to fame has not been done by many people throughout the ages.

Could this be a flash of splendour?

"Let's go and see." He picked up the flute on the table and got up with a little slowness.

He has always been fond of music and music, and he will come here every ten days to sit for half a day.

But Yale came back to hear that gambling with others was fresh.

As the number of onlookers grew, Song Xian gradually began to feel uneasy.

If everything turned out to be as he expected, the more onlookers the better, but for now......

He looked at the chessboard in front of him, and at the girl sitting quietly on the opposite side.

One by one, the chess pieces fell, and as the chess board gradually became tense and dangerous, almost no one spoke, but there were occasional sighs of surprise.

It was quiet all around, and the branches and leaves of the ginkgo trees on the side rustled softly in the wind.

The game has become a battlefield.

And Kuroko didn't have the upper hand as everyone expected.

The girl was always unhurried, no matter whether the other party was in a hurry or slow, the time of her fall was almost the same, as if she didn't need to think too much, and it seemed that she was always looking at the overall situation.

Song Xian realized that this was also a kind of mentality, so he reminded himself that he had to deal with it calmly.

And that contempt must be put away.

The young man near the window on the second floor always looked at the girl playing chess.

Her figure is straight but not deliberate, and when she raises her hand and falls, there is a formation of troops to build a momentum.

He couldn't see the details on the chess board, but from the reactions of the people around him, he could see that she also played her chess very well.

“…… Is Governor Cui listening to us? ”

There was a suppressed voice of dissatisfaction in the room.

There were several middle-aged men sitting in the room, all wearing long robes, one of whom was an elder of the Cui clan, and it was he who asked Cui Jing to come here today.

Cui Jing had changed into his regular clothes, and stood in front of the window at this time, without looking back, but said: "Cui Jing has made it very clear just now, what you say, Cui Jing is difficult to obey." ”

"You...... Are you a dignified disciple of the Cui clan really going to become a minion of the Ming Dynasty? ”

"The dictatorship of the Ming Dynasty, in order to eradicate dissidents, wantonly kills and degrades, and in the long run, the Cui family is also dangerous and ......"

"Since you have the power of the Hyunce's army, the defense of Gyeonggi is under control...... If you act in the army and force the Empress Ming to return power to the prince, you can return the country to the clear and stable court! ”

Listening to the heart-wrenching words, Cui Jing finally said: "The prince is young and his mind is not strong, if I really rashly admonish him, it will only make those with other intentions take advantage of the situation, so I will never agree to this." ”

"At that time, we will have the four of us to stabilize the situation!"

"It's still headed by your Cui clan—"

Cui Jing's face did not have the slightest wave: "You have lived in Beijing for a long time, and your eyes are only in the court, you can know that the overall situation of the world has changed a lot, the so-called four families, whether there is still the power to calm the chaos after the chaos was set up, you should be clear." ”

The faces of those people changed for a while: "That's because of the suppression after Minghou, as long as you remove Minghou, everything will be the same as before......"

Cui Jing still didn't look back, and his words were cold and powerful: "Besides, the Xuan Ce Army is not Cui Jing's private property, but was created by His Royal Highness the First Prince, and if he wants to use this as a sword to shake the stability of the country, Cui Jing will not be able to agree." ”

"You ......"

Someone stood up and pointed angrily at the young man's back: "You are the eldest grandson of the Cui family in vain...... Ignoring the rise and fall of the Hezu clan and their survival! ”

Cui Jing was unmoved: "The rise and fall of the Shi clan can be reversed by my own strength." If you really want to survive, it is not the most difficult thing, but the incomprehensible thing is that what you want is not only to survive-"

It is the arrogant selfish desire to still want to be above the imperial power and stand on the top of all things.

And it is impossible for him to let the Xuan Ce Army become a sword to satisfy this selfish desire.

Nor is he a sword.

"No need to talk to this guy anymore!"

"I keep worrying about the overall situation of the country, if this is the case, how can I be willing to be an eagle dog after tomorrow!"

"You can go out of this door and enter the palace, and tell the Empress Ming directly what we are saying today, so that you can make meritorious contributions again!"

"Your hearts are never hidden, this discussion has not been completed, why do you need me to tell the truth." The young man standing in front of the window said seriously: "If I have the heart to make meritorious contributions, I should first agree to your proposals, and then turn against the water at the critical time, so that you have no way to retreat——"

"You!"

Several middle-aged men almost fell on their backs in anger.

They should thank him for his kindness and mercy!

"You Cui really raised a good son!"

"Da Lang, you ...... Ay! ”

The sound of brushing sleeves and pushing the door to leave sounded one after another.

Watching those people leave, Yuan Xiang couldn't help but sigh: "This is a rejuvenation, and they are all angry to become grandchildren......

Seeing the closed door, he affirmed it again: "It's worthy of the demeanor of the scholars, and I don't forget to close the door when I am so angry." ”

As he spoke, he walked behind the young man and reminded, "Governor, everyone is done, go back and sit." ”

No more pretending to look out the window.

The young man ignored him.

Hey, isn't the Metropolitan pretending?

Yuan Xiang looked curiously.

He had vaguely heard someone playing chess in the morning, but it was not unusual to play chess in this kind of place.

It's just that...... It turns out that it is Chang Niangzi who plays chess with others?

No wonder the Metropolitan Governor took it so seriously - it was the only friend of the Metropolitan Governor who was playing chess with someone, and roughly calculated, it was equivalent to the Metropolitan Governor himself sitting there playing chess with others!

But why did it suddenly become noisy, this is the winner and loser, right?
