Chapter 340: Watching Chess and Silent True Gentleman
green ant new brew wine,
Red clay stove,
Late in the sky and snow,
I can drink a cup without it!
Walking to the door of the house, Xiao Rui saw the two old men cooking wine in the pavilion in the lake, and couldn't help but chant softly. This is Bai Juyi's poem, Bai Juyi is a poet in the middle and late Tang Dynasty, so this poem has not yet appeared, Xiao Rui recited it, and several people next to him felt that it was novel and should be appropriate.
"Hou Ye's poetry is unparalleled, the scenes are blended, and it is a good picture. I don't know who is cooking tea in the Huxin Pavilion? ”
"Cooking tea? This weather is not suitable for drinking tea, it must be boiled wine. That's the third master and Mr. Pei, who live in this Zhuangzi to retire. If Brother Zhao has Yaxing, he can go over and take a look, and play a game to relieve boredom. I haven't been home for a long time, so I'll go home and settle down. ”
Zhao Deyan was in a good mood: "That's what I mean." ”
Turned over and dismounted, said hello to a few people, and walked onto the wooden plank road of the Lake Center Pavilion.
Xiao Yu scolded with a smile: "You kid must be holding back." People are guests, they come to the house for the first time, and if they don't get started first, you let them play chess outside the door? Why? This is not our Xiao family's hospitality. ”
Xiao Rui stretched out his index finger to his mouth and motioned for everyone to whisper: "The third master is addicted to chess, Mr. Pei is always unable to resist, and he is always disliked." Finally, a stranger came to kill the majesty of the third master, but don't break it. ”
Burst...... Everyone couldn't help but hold back their laughter, and the next thing was interesting.
When they came to the courtyard, they were busy, and the housekeepers, nurses, and cooks came up to greet them, only Xiao Rui's Xiaojiazhuang had the backbone, otherwise the whole Xiaojiazhuang was flat on the face, but it always felt lifeless.
"Excuse me, you two gentlemen are polite."
The two chess players were so focused on the board that they didn't turn their heads to look at him.
Zhao Deyan knew the temperament of people who loved chess, and he was not annoyed, so he stood by and watched.
Pei Lin is black, Li Yuan is white, and now the two are equal, and the battle situation is very anxious, so both of them are frowning and are deeply involved.
"Wrong, wrong, this move black should play ninety-seven moves." Zhao Deyan couldn't help but remind.
Lao Li Yuan played with a jade bamboo in his hand, and gently tapped Zhao Deyan's hand pointing on the chessboard, "Watching chess is silent, true gentleman, don't talk more." Xuan Zhen, there is no regret about the fall, but you can't regret the chess. This step is a trap I dug for you a long time ago. ”
Burst...... The traps you dug up? Pull it down, get along for decades and still don't know your level? You must have just seen it, so don't put gold on your face.
Annoyed, Pei Lin could only continue to make mistakes. Only then did I come back to my senses, when did I have more people around?
"Your Excellency? When did it come? ”
"In Xia Zhao Deyan, I just came and came back with the champion Hou as a guest. Dare to ask the two gentlemen with their surnames? ”
Pei Xiao sighed, and arched his hand slightly, "The surname is Pei, and the word is Xuanzhen." This is the third master of my family. ”
"Mr. Pei is polite, and the third master is polite."
"The third master of my family doesn't like others to dictate chess, so Mr. Zhao doesn't want to speak."
Zhao Deyan hurriedly apologized, "I'm sorry, it's abrupt." ”
Then he put down more than a dozen hands, Pei Lian's brows wrinkled deeper and deeper, but Lao Li Yuan became more and more happy. Next to him, Zhao Deyan's mouth had twitched countless times, and his heart felt like he was being scratched by a cat, resisting the urge to remind.
"Hahaha, Xuan Zhen, one wrong step and one wrong step, admit defeat, you don't have a chance." Lao Li Yuan laughed, lifted the teapot on the small red clay stove, poured out a cup of hot rice wine, and drank a cup beautifully, his face was full of comfort.
Zhao Deyan sniffed, it's really wine, and it's a fine wine, a first-class product!
Pei Lin watched it for a long time, and finally gave up helplessly, "The third master's chess strength is becoming more and more unfathomable, and he still can't win a game after studying hard for three days." That's it, let's fight again in the future. ”
After speaking, he also poured himself a glass of hot rice wine. By the way, he also let the audience next to him, "Mr. Zhao also has a cup to warm up his body?" ”
Zhao Deyan shook his head, his eyes were still staring at the chess game, "I'm afraid it's too early to admit defeat at this time, and I think that this game can still be saved." ”
"Oh? What, you're not convinced? Old Li Yuan put down his wine glass.
Pei Lin hurriedly said, "How could it be? Losing is losing, and dying is meaningless. ”
He wanted to persuade Zhao Deyan not to meddle in his affairs and refute the face of the emperor, but it was no good.
Zhao Deyan didn't know who the person in front of him was, he just thought he was a respected old man in Murakami. He arched his hand and said to Lao Li Yuan: "In this endgame, you can get back to a draw after nine moves, and black chess is expected to have an advantage after twenty moves." ”
Old Li Yuan laughed and said, "Boy, do you know what you're talking about? Twenty hands later? Even if he is Xiao Rui, who is known as the smartest person in the world, he can't count the chess game after twenty moves, as soon as you open your mouth, it is twenty moves, who do you think you are? ”
Old Li Yuan is in his sixties, and Zhao Deyan is only thirty or forty years old, so Li Yuan calls him a brat, and there is no problem.
Zhao Deyan smiled, he guessed that Xiao Ruizun loved the old and the young, and let the other party go.
"I am unknown in my hometown, and I dare not compare with the champion Hou. But he never talks nonsense about chess. ”
Lao Li Yuan patted his thigh and said happily: "Okay! Xuan Zhen, you let go, let this kid continue. The old man wants to see if this bragging boy has any real skills. Pour him a cup to warm up and play chess. ”
Pei Lin could only get up as he said, and then went to pour wine. But when the wine glass was brought over, Zhao Deyan took it and put it aside, "Don't drink alcohol, it's not too late to drink after nine steps." ”
Old Li Yuan stopped laughing, and instead was ashamed, the shame of being despised by others.
"Arrogant boy."
"Whether it's arrogant or not, you know. In ancient times, it was about the public wine to kill Huaxiong, and today it is not talented, so there will be a warm wine to slay the dragon. ”
As he spoke, he picked up a sunspot and snapped! Steady dots on the board.
Old Li Yuan responded contemptuously, his face full of disdain.
But after three steps, the speed of his fall slowed down. Zhao Deyan had already been optimistic about the nine steps, so he immediately fell without thinking. Old Li Yuan didn't think twice at the beginning, but the third step was different, and he hesitated.
After five steps, his face gradually became serious, and he no longer dared to snap and keep up, but frowned and became serious.
Pei Lin sighed lightly, and saw the change in the situation from the black and white, could it be that the nine-step reversal is not a lie? This Zhao Deyan is worthy of his reputation, and he is worthy of being the first wise man of the Turks.
"Hey, third master, if you think about it like this, don't say nine steps, it's seven steps, and the wine will be cold early." Zhao Deyan opened his mouth to urge, his face was full of pride, educate this self-righteous old man today.
Old Li Yuan said with a dark face: "What are you urging?" When the wine is cold, you can add more. If you really win, the old man will pour you a glass of wine himself! ”
A cup? This old man looks mediocre, the big shelf is okay, and he pours wine after losing, only a glass? Who do you think you are? Such a general trend. Who is crazy about the two of us?
Pei Lin hurriedly laughed and said, "No, no, I will pour wine next to me, and I won't let Mr. Zhao's wine be cold." Third master, you concentrate on the game. ”
