In the Lanyuan Pavilion, after Zhao Yao and the four princes finished lunch, they went to He Xiang and them.

Zheng Rang saw Zhao Yao coming, and was busy preparing milk tea and snacks he made himself. In Zhao Yao's words, it's a small biscuit.

The recipe for small biscuits was naturally told to Zheng Rang by Zhao Yao. The three ladies and the five princesses of the Kunde Hall can make it, and it is very delicious.

Zheng Rang recently likes to make all kinds of strange snacks made by Zhao Yao. These snacks he had never heard of or seen before, but they were very delicious to make. The most important thing is that these snacks are not difficult to make.

Milk tea was naturally taught to him by Zhao Yao, and it was not the same as the milk tea he had drunk before. Da Zhou, no, there has been milk tea since the previous dynasty, and it was transmitted from the Western Regions. However, the taste is strange, and the people of the Central Plains are not used to drinking it, but the milk tea made by Zhao Yao is very delicious. Zheng made the three brothers very fond of drinking. Every morning, Zheng Rang would make a pot of milk tea, and then the three brothers would take it with them to drink.

Seeing that His Royal Highness Ten had come down, He Xiang and Taishi Liu beckoned him to play chess.

Since discovering that Zhao Yao played chess well, He Xiang and Taishi Liu liked to play chess with him.

After Zhao Yao met He Lianfang, he often played chess with He Lianfang. He originally knew how to play chess, after all, there was a gentleman in the palace who taught the princes to play chess, but he played averagely. Later, after playing chess with He Lianfang, his chess skills improved a lot, and under the influence of He Lianfang, his chess style was very similar to He Lianfang.

He Lianfang's chess style is the same as his people, deep and dangerous, and unpredictable. In addition, he is good at the art of war, and he will unconsciously use the art of war when playing chess. After Zhao Yao met He Lianfang, he has been learning the art of war with him, and when he plays chess, he will unconsciously use the art of war he learned from He Lianfang.

He Xiang and Liu Taishi are both chess masters, but it is not easy for them to easily win against Zhao Yao.

Playing chess with Zhao Yao, they always felt that they were playing chess with He Lianfang, that madman.

Zheng Rang naturally knew how to play chess, and when he first saw Zhao Yao and He Xiang playing chess, he was frightened by Zhao Yao's chess skills.

In his opinion, His Royal Highness Ten is obviously a simple, lively and cheerful child, but playing chess is completely opposite to his temperament, the chess style is cold, deep and dangerous, and even a little insidious.

The chess style is like character, but Zheng Rang does not think that Zhao Yao is an unfathomable and insidious and cunning person, because the eyes of His Royal Highness Ten are very clear and clean.

Zheng Rang felt that the reason why Zhao Yao had such a chess style should be influenced by someone, who was very dangerous.

He asked He Xiang and Taishi Liu about them, who taught the Ten Highnesses to play chess. He Xiang told Taishi Liu that he was a madman. Who this madman was, they didn't say.

"Uncle, I can't let His Highness Ten learn to play chess with his crazy master anymore." A few days ago, on the way home from work, Zheng Rang hesitated again and again, but decided to talk to He Xiang about the Ten Highnesses playing chess. "The gentleman who taught the Ten Highnesses to play chess is too dangerous, if he continues to let the Ten Highnesses learn to play chess with him, the Ten Highnesses will become a person like his husband."

Zheng Rang had played a game of chess with Zhao Yao before, and he was cold all over. In the chess game, the Ten Highnesses set a cruel and treacherous trap again and again, and he would fall into it if he was not careful, and then die a miserable death.

He Xiang asked gently, "Don't you see it?" ”

Zheng Rang didn't understand what He Xiang meant, and asked blankly, "What do you see?" ”

"His Highness the Ten is not playing chess with you, but fighting with you." He Xiangxiao's face was kind, "Soldiers are not tired of cheating." ”

Hearing He Xiang say this, Zheng Rang understood why he had a strange feeling when playing chess with His Highness Shi, it turned out that he was fighting.

"I see."

"His Highness Ten has been using the art of war to fight us, so his chess style is very treacherous." He Xiang said with a smile.

"No wonder." Zheng Rang finally understood why playing chess with the Ten Highnesses had a sense of danger. "The art of war of the Ten Highnesses is very good." Zheng Rang has read military books and knows a little about the art of war, but it is only on paper.

"That gentleman of the Ten Highnesses is like a god in his use of soldiers, and the apprentices he taught are naturally not bad." Although He Xiang hated He Lianfang, he had to admit that in terms of using soldiers, he He Lianfang was a god and no one could defeat him. His Royal Highness Ten had only been learning the art of war from He Lianfang for a long time, but His Royal Highness's attainments in the art of war had already surpassed that of many soldiers.

His Highness is wise in his own right. He continued to learn the art of war from He Lianfang, and sooner or later he would be like He Lianfang.

"That gentleman of the Ten Highnesses is really powerful." Zheng Rang said, frowning slightly, and sighed softly, "However, I still don't like this style of chess." ”

"It's not surprising that you don't like this style of chess, it's just that on the battlefield, people like us can't win." He Xiang doesn't know much about the art of war, and he doesn't know much about fighting, "A soldier is not tired of deceitful to win." ”

"That's what Uncle said."

He Xiang continued: "After a while, Lao Liu and I will not be the opponents of the Ten Highnesses. "In terms of fighting, they are too far behind He Lianfang.

"Uncle, who is the gentleman of the Ten Highnesses?" Uncle Fang Cai used the word "soldiers like gods" to describe Mr. Ten Highnesses, which is a very high evaluation. The four major generals of the court do not seem to have reached this point.

He Xiang frowned slightly, and said with a somewhat cold face: "A madman, you don't have to care. ”

Seeing that He Xiang didn't want to say more, Zheng Rang didn't ask again, and changed the topic to talk about other things.

Now, as expected, He Xiang is expected, and he and Taishi Liu are really not the opponents of His Highness the Ten.

Every time Zhao Yao finished playing chess with He Xiang and them, he would return to Kunde Hall to review, and then draw down the chess game and send it to He Lianfang.

He Lianfang would guide Zhao Yao according to the chess game, which made Zhao Yao's chess skills improve a lot.

There was no rest during this time, but Zhao Yao would write to He Lianfang every day.

He Lianfang also taught Zhao Yao through letters every day.

He Xiang and Taishi Liu were convinced, because they were really inferior to He Lianfang in terms of leading troops to fight.

"His Royal Highness Ten is really powerful." Zheng Rang suddenly thought of Zheng Qian, "I really want His Highness Ten to play a game of chess with my junior brother, maybe my junior brother is not your opponent." ”

Zheng Qian is very good at chess, even better than their father. Neither their father nor they are any match for their younger brother.

In my hometown, no one can play chess to win the younger brother.

"Your little brother is also good at chess?" Zhao Yao is now familiar with Zheng Rang, and has heard a lot about Zheng Qian from Zheng Rang.

"It's very powerful, and no one has been his opponent so far."

"Then your little brother is an all-round genius." Zheng Rang complained to Zhao Yao about the arrogant and domineering things his little brother had done before.

"Yes, Your Highness the Tenth has won He Xiang and Taishi Liu in chess, maybe you can win against my little brother." The more Zheng Rang thought about it, the more he felt that Zhao Yao might win Zheng Qian. He looked at Zhao Yao expectantly, "Your Highness the Tenth, can you trouble me to play a game of chess with my little brother?" ”

"Are you sure I can win against your genius brother?" Zhao Yao thought to himself how he could win a genius as an ordinary person, Zheng Zhengshi really looked up to him too much.

"If you don't try, how do you know it won't work." Zheng Rang said, "You also know my little brother's temperament, if you can win him, he will know that there are people in this world who are better than him, so that he will no longer be arrogant." ”

"I don't think I can win against your genius brother."

"Your Highness, you may be able to do it." Zheng Rang said, solemnly saluting Zhao Yao, "Your Highness Ten, I'm sorry for your trouble." ”

Zhao Yao asked for help and looked at He Xiang and them.

He Xiang and Taishi Liu looked at Zhao Yao and said with a smile: "Your Highness, you may really be able to win Brother Qian." ”

"Brother Qian, that kid really needs someone to rub his sharpness, otherwise that kid will always think that he is the smartest person in the world."

"Your Highness the Tenth, I'll cook you your favorite dishes and snacks, is it okay?" Zheng Rang is very good at bribing Zhao Yao.

As soon as Zhao Yao heard this, his eyes lit up. However, he still pretended to be reluctant on his face.

"Let's say okay first, don't expect too much from me."

Seeing that Zhao Yao agreed, Zheng Rang said with a grateful face: "It's his honor that you can come and play chess with my little brother." ”

"I'll take a break the day after tomorrow, and go to your house in the evening, when you should get home from work."

"Then Your Highness, you must have dinner at our house, and I will cook you your favorite dishes."

"Okay." Zhao Yao was also polite.

"Your Highness, thank you so much."

Zhao Yao waved his hand: "I may not be able to win against your little brother, you don't have to thank me for the time being." ”

"Your Highness, I'm sure you can."

Zhao Yao: "......" Why does Zheng Zhengshi believe so much that he can win his younger brother?

"By the way, Your Highness, I heard from you that you like arithmetic?"

Zhao Yao nodded and said, "I like arithmetic." ”

"My little brother also likes arithmetic, and he is also very good at arithmetic, you can compare with him in arithmetic the day after tomorrow."

Zhao Yao felt that Zheng made him look up to him: "I haven't been learning arithmetic for a long time, and I definitely can't compare to your brother." However, when the time comes, you can fight with your brother. ”

"It's my brother's honor."

Zhao Yao was going to learn painting in the afternoon, so he didn't talk to Zheng for a long time, and left Lanyuan Pavilion after a while. Before leaving, he said hello to the four princes.

After Zhao Yao left, Zheng Rang suddenly felt that if he took the liberty of inviting the Ten Highnesses to his house, would it be inappropriate, and would it cause trouble to the Ten Highnesses.

"He Xiang, if I invite His Highness Ten to play chess with my younger brother at home, will it bring trouble to His Highness Ten?"

He Xiang understood Zheng Rang's worries, and smiled at him kindly: "No, His Royal Highness Ten is still young." "If there are no ministers in the court to support His Royal Highness the Ten, the Zheng family will have nothing if the Ten Highnesses go down.

"That's good......" Zheng Rang was just about to breathe a sigh of relief, when he suddenly thought that His Highness the Ten and His Highness Four were getting closer. He suddenly invited the Ten Highnesses to his house, would those people mistakenly think that he had taken refuge in the Fourth Highness. "Will it cause trouble to the Fourth Highness, after all, the relationship between the Ten Highness and the Fourth Highness is very good?"

He Xiang didn't expect this, he was slightly stunned, and then said with a smile; "It's fine."

"Are you really okay?" Zheng Rang had never been in contact with the Four Princes, and when he saw the Four Princes looking cold, he always felt that the Four Princes were not easy to mess with. Moreover, the four princes seem to be avoiding him.

"The four princes never interact with courtiers, and the ministers know his temperament, so they won't think too much about your family just because His Royal Highness Ten Highnesses are going to your house."

Hearing He Xiang say this, Zheng Rang was relieved: "That's good." ”

Taishi Liu looked at Zheng Rang's nervous appearance, and said with a smile: "The ministers of the court are not interested in the affairs of the Ten Highnesses, you don't have to worry about anything bad with the Ten Highnesses." ”

When Zheng Rang heard Taishi Liu say this, he felt a little sorry for Zhao Yao in his heart.

"I hope His Royal Highness Ten can win against my little brother."

Taishi Liu asked, "Is Brother Qian good at the art of war?" ”

"The younger brother has read the book of war, but he doesn't know if he is good at it." After all, the younger brother has never led troops to fight.

"The Ten Princes are very talented in the art of war, and it is very likely that they will win Brother Qian." He Xiang stroked his beard and said.

"That's great." Zheng Rang wished that Zhao Yao had won his little brother.

Zhao Yao returned to the Kunde Palace, invited Zheng Rang to his house as a guest, and asked him to tell Liang Zhaoyi about Zheng Qian.

Liang Zhaoyi asked Zhao Yao not to think about it, even if he went to the Zheng family, the ministers of the court would not care.

"If that Zheng Qian is really a genius, then you can play chess with him well, and you can learn a lot from it."

"I haven't seen a genius yet, I must take a good look at Zheng Zhengshi's little brother the night after tomorrow."

Liang Zhaoyi stretched out her hand and poked her son's eyebrows, and said with a smile: "Aren't your fourth brother and starling genius?" ”

"Yes, the fourth brother and the starling brother are also geniuses." Zhao Yao scratched his head and said, "Fourth brother and starling are so hidden that people can't feel that they are geniuses." ”

"But they are, aren't they?" Liang Zhaoyi said with a smile, "Your fourth brother and starling brother may not lose to Zheng Zhengshi's younger brother." So, you don't have to be too surprised. ”

"Yes."

"However, if you can really win against Zheng Zheng's younger brother, it is also a good thing, you can rub his sharpness." Liang Zhaoyi said, "People who are too smart will be too arrogant, which is not a good thing. Zheng Zhengshi's younger brother is not very old, and I hope he can use his wisdom on the right path instead of challenging students everywhere. "Liang Zhaoyi heard about Zheng Qian from Zhao Yao.

"Mother, what the hell are you doing with this." Zhao Yao shrugged his shoulders and said, "If I can win Zheng Zhengshi's little brother, of course it's good." If you can't win, that's normal. ”

"The concubine thinks you can win."

Zhao Yao smiled and said, "Then I'll work hard." Zhao Yao didn't take Liang Zhaoyi's words to heart, he felt that Liang Zhaoyi was encouraging him.

"It's not too early, it's time for you to learn to draw."

"Mother, then I'm leaving."

When he got home from work in the evening, Zheng Rang told Zheng Qian that Zhao Yao was coming to them as a guest.

"By the way, I also ask His Highness Ten to play chess with you."

When Zheng Qian heard this, he looked surprised and said, "Play chess with me?" ”

"His Royal Highness is very good at chess, I asked him to play chess with you, maybe he can win you."

After Zheng Qian heard this, he let out a sneer: "Impossible. ”

"Nothing is impossible." Zheng Rang said, "His Royal Highness Ten has superb chess skills, and even He Xiang and Liu Taishi are not his opponents. ”

"He Xiang and Taishi Liu, they are not my opponents." Zheng Qian understood what his eldest brother was thinking, "Big brother, do you think that if His Highness Ten wins He Xiang and Taishi Liu, he will definitely be able to win me?" ”

"There's a good chance it'll win you."

"Big brother, you underestimate me too much." Zheng Qian raised his chin slightly, and said with a proud face, "No one can win me in chess." ”

"Little brother, don't forget that His Highness Ten is the one who made movable type printing." Zheng Cheng now has a special admiration for Zhao Yao, "In my opinion, His Highness Ten is not stupider than you. ”

When Zheng Qian heard his second brother's words, he was rarely silent.

"Whether His Highness the Ten can win you or not, I will know when His Highness the Ten comes down and you go down the day after tomorrow." Zheng Rang raised his hand and patted Zheng Qian's shoulder gently, "You haven't played chess with His Highness Ten yet, so don't underestimate His Highness Ten first." As your second brother said, His Highness Ten is not stupid. ”

"Okay, then I'll wait for His Highness the Ten." In fact, Zheng Qian was very curious about the Ten Highnesses in the mouths of his two brothers. Of course, he wouldn't tell his two brothers.

Old irons, I'm sorry, I was suddenly pulled to study last night, learning how to write essays, so I didn't have time to code the second chapter last night. However, I didn't get anything out of last night, and I felt like I was talking empty words and no dry goods, which was a waste of my time.

There will definitely be a second watch tonight.

Zhao Yao: I'm just an ordinary person, I can't win against your genius brother.

Zheng Rang: Your Highness, do you have any misunderstanding about yourself?

Zheng Cheng: Your Highness, if you were an ordinary person, then we would be pigs.

In the end, I still ask for a monthly pass! Ask for a tip! Leave a message! Ask for everything!
