The summer evening breeze brought a burst of coolness, and the three of them were clear-headed, and the fatigue of just playing chess for half a day was swept away.

"Steward Han, come down." Liang Xiu also saw Steward Han, who seemed to be familiar with this person, and immediately shouted.

Seeing that it was Liang Xiu shouting, Steward Han immediately ran over, "What does Lang Jun command?" ”

"My two friends, something fell on their carriage, do you know where their carriage stopped?" Liang Xiu asked.

Steward Han was still deeply impressed by Chen Fan and Yajun, and immediately said, "I know, it's in the border garden, or I'll bring a few people over." ”

"It's fine." Liang Xiu agreed.

The four of them walked towards the side garden.

"Steward Han, what is the second floor of the pavilion used for?" Chen Fan asked as he walked.

"Oh, it's also used to enjoy the scenery, if Lang Jun is free, you can go upstairs to have a look."

"Thank you. I'm thinking, after we get the piano and come back, Yajun is going to play a song for everyone in the evening, I wonder if the piano can be placed upstairs? Chen Fan asked, and at the same time looked at Liang Xiu and Yajun next to him. Chen Fan's words have two meanings, one is that after taking the piano, it will be put upstairs for safekeeping; On the other floor, I play the piano upstairs at night, I don't know if it's okay? In Chen Fan's mind, if it was played upstairs, there would not be too many onlookers, but Yajun played, Yajun himself didn't mention it, and Chen Fan couldn't say it too obviously, what if Yajun likes a lot of people? It just reminded him of one more option.

"That's fine, you can't throw it away if you put it upstairs." Steward Han seemed to only understand the first meaning, and replied immediately.

A few people walked while talking, and after a while, they arrived at the border garden. There were many people in the side garden, and two large round tables were placed, and they were ready to start eating.

As soon as everyone entered the border garden, Hou Feng greeted them, "Why is Lang Jun here?" But come and get Yajun's piano? Hou Feng asked Chen Fan. Yajun's piano is in the car, and Hou Feng also knows it.

"Yes, Yajun is going to play a song in the evening." Chen Fan nodded and said.

"Okay, it's ready." I saw Hou Feng beckoning to the distance, and a small school came over with a piano, and it seemed that he had been prepared. Hou Feng took the piano and said, "I'll send it to a few people, see which one is better?" ”

"It's okay, I'm tired of Steward Han taking Hou Feng to the second floor of the pavilion, just put the piano there, let's go shopping." Chen Fan replied. The people and the qin went back separately, which saved trouble, and also reduced the possibility of letting people with a heart see them with the qin and take their qin at the dinner table to ask this and that, and talk about things.

"Then ladies and gentlemen, let's go first." Steward Han said. Everyone nodded, and Hou Feng followed Steward Han first.

Chen Fan said that he was shopping, but in fact, several people had a tacit understanding, that is, they slowed down, led by Liang Xiu, and walked to the pavilion by detour.

"By the way, Fa Sheng, what are you doing in Gusu this time?" Liang Xiu was the first to break the silence.

"The main thing is to think of the true martial arts temple to learn the Tao, and first come to visit the lower Taoist temple."

"There is no chess academy in the Taoist temple, I heard that the swordsmanship and chess skills of the real martial arts are average, you might as well choose a better school, Dean Lu's rosin academy, if you talk about chess alone, it is very good, it is very suitable for you."

"Thank you, the main reason is that I am not in good health, I need to consolidate my foundation and strengthen my body, it is said that Zhenwuguan has the practice of cultivating the soul, so my father invited the Taoist of Zhenwuguan to accept me as a disciple."

"Oh, then no wonder you are going to the True Martial Arts Temple, it is said that the Taoist scriptures of the True Martial Arts Temple are still very good, especially in the cultivation of the truth, but there is a lack of fighting with people, mainly because it is difficult to practice the sword technique and Taoism now, and it was said that it was still possible before."

"Thank you Brother Liang, I don't know where Brother Liang is studying?"

"In your Tianshui Academy in Hudu County, I am a classmate of Ma Bo."

"Why are you going to blaspheme, isn't it quite far from your house?"

"Fortunately, I usually live on campus, the environment of Tianshui College is still good, and the dean Wang Boming's knowledge is relatively high, and it is still good to study economics and etiquette there, but chess is a little worse."

"Where is the location of Tianshui Academy? I haven't seen it in town. ”

"Oh, it's in Qingpu Town, about five miles away from the Hudu East City Gate, next to the Shenjiang River, when you have time, you can go and see it."

"Okay, the two classmates who were with me in the teahouse last time will go to your academy, maybe you can meet them again in the future. It's just that school is not going to start in many days, you go to Hudu, maybe I come to Gusu, it will be very difficult for the two of us to meet. ”

"Also, how long do you plan to stay in Gusu this time? Come to my house when you have time. Liang Xiu was also a little emotional, and asked.

"How long it will take is still undecided, it mainly depends on whether you can study in the Taoist temple? If I have time, I will go to you, where will you live? ”

"Shiyuan Road Liang Mansion, my uncle is the current Gusu County Guard."

"Oh, you guys live together?"

"Yes, our family is from Gusu, and my grandfather and grandmother are still alive, so the whole family is together."

"Okay, I'll visit you when I have time."

The two walked while talking, Yajun was listening, and after a while, they arrived at the pavilion. At this time, the pavilion had already been lit up, and the attic was brightly lit. The cases have been rearranged, there is a row of cases on the side facing the door, there are five, two rows are placed on the left and right sides, each row is also five cases, enclosed in a concave shape, people are obviously less than when discussing the "Nineteen Roads" in the afternoon, there should be some people who returned first.

Lu Xian, as the master here, sat in the center of the Yingmen case, saw Chen Fan and a few of them, beckoned, signaled them to go over, and a few people stepped forward.

"Liang Xiu, you take Fasheng and Yajun upstairs to sit." Lu Yan pointed upstairs.

"Isn't the Dean with us?" Liang Xiu asked.

"I and a few masters are in the hall, there are many people, you eat first, I'll go up later, Xu Zhen and Xu Chen are also there, as well as Lin Jun, Zifeng, Zhongkai, you go up, this hall is full, and you can't sit down." Lu Yan said.

When several people saw Lu Yan say this, they couldn't refuse, and immediately said, "Okay, then we'll go up." After speaking, he saluted Lu Yan and several masters, walked to the staircase, and went up the stairs to the second floor.

When I got to the second floor, I saw a desk on the main seat, which was empty, it was estimated that Lu Zhen would come up and sit down, in the upper position of his left hand, sitting Xu Zhen, still dressed in black, Chen Fan had seen it yesterday, and the first three positions under him were empty, but somehow no one sat on the side with Xu Zhen, but Xu Zhen sat on the upper left, the most honorable position of this guest, thinking that his identity was not just a student of Lu Zhen. When Xu Zhen saw the three of them coming up, she didn't get up to greet her, she only nodded slightly, and then turned her head away, looking at her heart, her heart and nose, with a serious expression.

The four on the right are all seated, the top person, Chen Fan doesn't know, is a young man in brocade, not very old, and Xu Zhen is like, just seventeen or eighteen years old, but the expression is very different from Xu Zhen, giving people a leisurely like a cloud, chic like the wind, only warm as jade, never as sharp as the sea. Seeing Chen Fan and a few people coming in, although he didn't get up, he also smiled and nodded, which was regarded as a hello. Lin Jun, who wants to come to Lu Xian's mouth, is this person. Because apart from him, Chen Fan has seen several other people, but he doesn't know what the identity of this person is, and he actually sat on Xu Chen, the head of the nephew of Xu Qizi, a third-grade senior member of the Shaofu Qing, and it must be not easy to think about the identity. Lu Zifeng and Shi Zhongkai sat in the back, and when they saw Chen Fan and the others coming in, they all smiled and nodded, which was regarded as a greeting. It's just estimated that the few people sitting in front of them didn't speak, and they were embarrassed to speak out.

Liang Xiu was generous, and after coming up, after nodding and greeting everyone, he walked to the center of the room, saluted everyone, and said, "Fa Sheng and Yajun and I have met Xu Lang, Lin Lang and all Langjun. Chen Fan and Yajun followed Liang Xiu all the time, and then saluted.

Xu Zhen still nodded, and did not mean to speak. Finally, Lin Jun spoke, "You guys sit down, there are exactly three seats, presumably the dean has already arranged the number of people, and it is reserved for you." ”

Liang Xiu, Chen Fan, and Yajun sat down in turn.

"These two, who is Chen Fasheng?" Lin Jun opened his mouth and asked Liang Xiu.

"This is." Liang Xiu pointed at Chen Fan.

Seeing Lin Jun coming, Chen Fan sat up straight and saluted again.

Seeing this, Lin Jun smiled and said, "Xu Zhen and I have something to do today, and it's too late." But as soon as I came, I heard about you, today's nineteen roads are good, and the dean gave you an evaluation, saying that your chess strength is about to reach the fourth grade, which is higher than all of us, that the top position, originally I left it to you, I am the person, the most admired talented person, if you are free, you can come to my house to walk around. If you don't know each other, you can let Liang Xiu take you, Liang Xiu is familiar. ”

A cold person does not mean that he has a black belly; A gentle person does not mean that he can be bullied. This Lin Jun, not only can't be bullied, he is simply speaking like a knife, like a sword, Chen Fan felt a gust of cold wind blowing, which clearly told him that he and Xu Zhen did not deal with each other, Liang Xiu was his person, and he wanted him to choose to take sides. Speaking directly, leaving no room for maneuvering, it does not match the leisurely and chic feeling on his body.

Chen Fan smiled faintly and said, "Then I want to thank Lin Langjun." However, I don't dare to sit on the head, Lin Langjun doesn't sit, isn't Xu Langjun sitting? If you want to talk about talent, the world says that the civil and military all-rounders, the civil and military can be safe, and the military can rejuvenate the country. As for studying literature, my father often said that when I studied the scriptures, the classics were the most difficult, and the scriptures, theories, strategies, and poems should all be refined, and I was stupid and stupid, so I couldn't learn them. Learning martial arts is even worse, since I was a child, my physical qualifications are not very good, and now I want to learn, I guess I missed the best opportunity. So I don't dare to be the one who learns by talent and sits on the top. This time, the promotion of "Nineteen Roads", I would like to thank Liang Langjun and you, if you want to sit on the top, then I am the most familiar with Liang Xiu among you, I naturally want to recommend him, or listen to his advice. ”

Chen Fan's meaning is also very straightforward, you said that the top position was reserved for me, but Xu Zhen was sitting, why didn't you dare to let him go? Learning by talent, that can't just be compared to chess, you can talk about scriptures and martial arts, see who is the strongest among you, the strong can convince people, if you convince me, you need to show strength. I'm only a shallow learner, and I can't compare, but I recommend Liang Xiu, you say that Liang Xiu is your person, then I listen to Liang Xiu, and I am also on your side. If Liang Xiu wants to be the boss, then I'm sorry, I still listen to Liang Xiu.

"Fa Sheng's proposal is very good, if anyone is better than me in scripture and martial arts, then I will naturally give him this position at the top, I don't know which of you is interested?" Unexpectedly, Xu Zhen, who had been silent just now, suddenly spoke, went straight into it with a single knife, and directly crushed it with an attitude of contempt for all beings.

When Chen Fan heard this, he felt a cold sweat break out in his head, how could this speech be more direct than the other, this Xu Zhen was going to do it directly, Chen Fan decided, don't squeak, and stare at Lin Jun with his eyes, that look is to say, you want to be the boss, now that Xu Zhen is calling the door, how are you going to take it?
