Chapter 14 Fan Lao
Seeing that this old man was a little interesting, Xu Hanliang walked through everyone and sat straight in front of the stone table.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
Li Zhongwen grabbed his sleeve: "As far as you stinky chess basket, I don't have to play, how can I play better than Fan Lao." β
Xu Hanliang spread his hands: "You said that I am a stinky chess basket, even if I lose, I will not be ashamed." β
The way of playing ancient Go and modern Go is very similar.
The reason why Xu Hanliang dared to play the game was also because he had participated in the professional Go exam at the beginning.
Although he is not very tall, he is also a professional three-dan chess player.
The conversations on the other side have already been taken into the ears of the old man.
Hearing that Xu Hanliang was just a stinky chess basket, he lost any interest in his heart.
"Let you have four sons?"
Fan Lao glanced at Xu Hanliang and said quite contemptuously.
"Okay, please give me advice."
Xu Hanliang didn't shirk it, and simply nodded.
Seeing this, Fan Lao couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
Generally speaking, this makes the child itself a slightly humiliating behavior, and when he said it casually, Xu Hanliang actually agreed!
This Fan Lao is even more disdainful of Xu Hanliang, and he is not so concerned.
While speaking, Xu Hanliang's sunspots were already placed in the four directions of the chessboard.
In ancient times, Go focused on the amorphous opening form, while modern Go often puts a lot of effort into the fixed form.
The formula of the opening game often determines the overall victory or defeat.
As the chess game progressed, Fan Lao went from being careless at the beginning, to gradually paying attention to it, to frowning.
"Alright."
The last son of the finale fell, and Xu Hanliang clapped his hands.
"Victory, victory over fifty-two sons."
The voice of the chess watcher sounded, and Fan Lao's face was completely dark at this moment.
It's not just about losing, it's about losing!
"One more game, I didn't take it seriously just now."
Knowing that this was Xu Hanliang pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, Fan Lao still refused to admit defeat, and said stubbornly.
"One more game, there was a bird in the sky just now, and I saw it wrong."
"Again, the old man is faint, and he is wrong."
"...... Again"
β¦β¦
By noon, the warm sun had already made Xu Hanliang a little sleepy.
And Fan Lao was lying on the chessboard, studying Xu Hanliang's chess game.
Although he lost consecutive battles, Xu Hanliang had to admire Fan Lao's hard mouth.
Every time you lose, you find a new reason to play again, but the ending doesn't change.
It looks like an old man who is a master, but once he loses, he doesn't have a good word in his mouth.
"The chess skills of such a game are simply insulting."
"Once you are disadvantaged, you will make peace blindly, and wait for me to make a mistake, do you have any chess skills?"
"If you kid goes to the court, you must be a traitor of my Great Song Dynasty!"
β¦β¦
Looking at Fan Lao's way of breaking the defense, the students around him also let out a burst of laughter.
This kind of scene is very rare, but it is also very interesting.
"Old gentleman, we've all been playing chess all morning, why don't we eat first?"
Xu Hanliang looked at the stubborn old man in front of him, quite helpless.
"What's the hurry to eat, let's have another game."
The old man waved his hand, still wanting to play.
Just when Xu Hanliang was at a loss, a middle-aged man in the distance walked over with some hurried steps.
"Mountain Chief."
When the surrounding students saw the man, they greeted him one after another.
This person is the head of Changshu Academy, Su Yanming.
Su Yanming was born in a man and was born in his early years, but his career was not smooth.
After being an official for a few years, he returned to his hometown and came to Changshu Academy to be a mountain chief, concentrating on teaching and educating people.
"Old Fan, take a break for a while, I still have something to discuss."
The man slowly bowed his head and said with a smile.
Fan Lao was a little anxious when he played chess, and when he heard this, he was a little impatient.
Turning around: "Since you want me to hang my name in your academy, hang it over there, it's okay." β
Hearing this, Su Yanming's originally constricted brows suddenly relaxed at this moment.
Fan Lao spoke again with some personal emotions: "Even if you are famous, so what, is it possible that the virtue of Changshu Academy still wants to achieve a good reputation in the poetry club?" β
Hearing the poetry meeting, the surrounding scholars also pricked up their ears.
The poetry club they are talking about is not a small poetry meeting organized by those literati and rioters, but with the participation of the imperial court.
There are even court officials who will go to observe, which can be said to be an opportunity for many students.
If you are really favored by a certain person, it is very likely to ascend to the sky in one step.
However, Changshu Academy has been very talented for many years, and it has not been able to show its head and feet in the poetry club a few times.
When the talents of other academies are in the limelight in the poetry club, they can only bury their heads in bitterness and hatred.
In addition to being an opportunity for these students, the Poetry Club is also an opportunity for the Academy.
If you can get the attention of any great talent, the status of the academy will definitely rise.
A high-end talent is not weak in the attraction of those students.
The reason why Su Yanming wanted Fan Lao to be famous was to increase the fame of the academy.
Maybe there is a talented person who saw Fan Lao's fame and came to Changshu Academy?
Dreams are always there.
Faced with Fan Lao's words that were almost sarcastic, Su Yanming could only nod yes.
"Tomorrow, will you still come to the academy?"
After speaking, Fan Lao looked at Xu Hanliang and asked a little sullenly.
"You should come here, Fan Lao, do you still want to play chess?"
Xu Hanliang was slightly stunned.
Seeing that Fan Lao's piece of kraft candy was about to stick, Xu Hanliang was ready to shake it off with his backhand.
"I'm not in good shape today, wait for me to regroup and fight again tomorrow!"
Fan Lao nodded, looking uncomfortable.
"But I ......"
Xu Hanliang just wanted to refuse, but Su Yanming on the side spoke: "If Fan Lao is willing to help, I believe that Xu Shizi will not refuse." β
"Good!"
Fan Lao's face was happy, as if he had anticipated tomorrow's victory, and then turned to leave.
"Mountain Chief, I'm not ready to say yes."
Xu Hanliang shook his head with a wry smile.
At the beginning, Su Yanming and Xu Youdao happened to be the same batch of movers, and the two also met.
If something happens to Lao Xu, if he is replaced by another person, it is likely that Xu Hanliang will be driven out of the academy because of his scruples about Cai Jing.
He also has a deep memory of Lao Xu.
There are a lot of gifts, and he has heard of this one, so it's strange if he doesn't remember it.
"Han Liang, I'm doing this for your own good." Su Yanming said meaningfully: "If you can become Fan Lao's protΓ©gΓ©, then you will probably have eyebrows if you want to rescue your father." β
"Fan Lao? Who is he? β
Xu Hanliang couldn't help but be a little puzzled.
After all, it was Cai Jing who offended his father, and if he can take advantage of people, his status should not be low.
"Although Fan Lao is guilty, he is similar to your father, and he is also jealous of Cai Jing, so he will be reduced to the point of returning to his hometown."
Su Yanming spoke slowly.
Xu Hanliang's eyes widened: "He was also degraded for sending secret scenes?" β
Su Yanming: "......"
