Chapter 14: Playing Chess

Fang Baozhu is quite familiar, calling her sister sister, and she is close as if they are her old friends.

"Zhuzhu, can you tell me what you saw on the way back to Beijing?" Zhao Yuyan asked expectantly.

The girls have never been far away and are curious about the outside world.

Fang Baozhu fulfilled everyone's wishes, "I went to the Yellow Emperor and asked Yu Guangchengzi to become an immortal and attain the Tao, where the scenery is beautiful and the strange rocks are craggy......"

"When I passed through a small town, I met monkeys, and those monkeys were very human......."

"I ate the authentic Yellow River carp, its meat is delicate and ......"

I don't know how Mrs. Zhao and Fang Wu discussed, and how they persuaded Mrs. Zhao, anyway, Fang Baozhu and Fang Baoxiu stayed.

They also lived in the girls' yard and studied with the girls.

The rest of the Fang family did not live in the Zhao family, the Fang family had a house in Beijing, and Mrs. Zhao asked people to clean up after knowing that her cousin was going back to Beijing.

Mrs. Zhao did not favor one over the other for her two nieces, and arranged all the people to serve her.

In the afternoon, Zhao Wangshu took a nap, and under the service of Lan Fen and others, he cleaned his face and made up, and the buckwheat lady came in with a box, and her face was not very good.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Wangshu asked.

"The girl asked the slave to find someone to exchange the silver taels for copper plates, and they have been replaced." Buckwheat Lady opened the box, "A total of seven hanging money." ”

Five taels of silver can be exchanged for 7,500 copper plates, and one hanging is 1,000 copper plates.

Zhao Wangshu smacked his lips, "Ah, this is not a goose plucking, this is a goose beheading." ”

"It's insatiable." The buckwheat lady said angrily.

"Don't be angry, change it next time, let's go by ourselves." Zhao Wangshu will not be obedient and honestly trapped in this house.

After the sisters of the Fang family and the girls of the Zhao family got along for a few days, there was a difference between relatives and alienation, Fang Baozhu and Zhao Yuyan, Zhao Yufang, and Zhao Shuangzhi got close, and Fang Baoxiu and Zhao Shuhui and Zhao Yuxiu could talk.

Twelve people, faintly divided into factions.

Piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, the girls have to learn.

The person who taught them chess skills was an old man in his fifties, surnamed Zheng, with gray hair, a long beard, and a wide Taoist robe, which looked fairy-like.

"There are so many elegant things in the world, the idle wind caress the qin, the pine game, the window to watch the book, the clear moon wine, the sandalwood incense, the perched xia tea, today, the old man wants to teach you to play chess."

The girls sat in pairs, and the person who played against Zhao Wangshu was Zhao Yufang.

"Chess is like character, chess is the table, and character is the inside." Mr. Zheng picked up the chessboard, "The chessboard is square, the chess pieces are round, and the sub covers the board, which means that the sky is round and the place is round." ”

"When you are new to chess, you should memorize the ten tricks, first, you must not be greedy for victory. Second, the entry into the boundary should be slow. 3. Attack the other and take care of me. Fourth, the abandoned son competes for the first...... 10. Seek peace from the lonely. ”

Mr. Zheng explained the ten tips in detail and explained the rules, "You can play the game." ”

Zhao Wangshu and Zhao Yufang guessed that the child won, and the black went first, she took one, snapped it on the ground, and put it on Tianyuan.

Zhao Yufang glanced up at her, took the white child, and put it in the corner.

Zhao Wangshu is not a beginner, she has been learning chess with Zhao Cui's for three years, her chess style is sharp, her chess is fast and accurate, and she is an offensive type.

Of course, that doesn't mean she can't defend, she's just attacking instead of defending.

Zhao Yufang didn't even understand the rules too well, so naturally he was not Zhao Wangshu's opponent, so he lost at once.

It's just that she didn't know, or Zhao Wangshu told her, "Don't go down, you've already lost." ”

Zhao Yufang was dazed, "I lost?" But this chessboard is still free. ”

"Playing chess is not about filling the board." Mr. Zheng walked over and said.

He looked at Zhao Wangshu, "Your chess skills are good, have you learned before?" ”

Zhao Wangshu got up and replied respectfully: "I studied with my grandmother for three years. ”

"No wonder." Mr. Zheng smiled slightly, "Would you like to play a game with the old man?" ”

"Please give me advice." Zhao Wangshu said with a smile.

Zhao Yufang got up and gave way, Mr. Zheng sat down, the two guessed, Zhao Wangshu won again, and the black son went first.

She did not hesitate to settle on Tianyuan.

Mr. Zheng is not Zhao Yufang, his layout is meticulous and steady, weaving a big net to cover Zhao Wangshu's chess pieces that rushed out like a tiger.

Even if Zhao Wangshu is extraordinary, but three years of chess skills can't compare to a master who has been immersed in the chessboard for decades.

Zhao Wangshu lost, and it was a fiasco, but Mr. Zheng smiled and said: "In time, it will become a great weapon." ”

"Mr. Xie compliments." Zhao Wangshu smiled lightly.

Under the guidance of the gentlemen, the girls studied hard, and after half a month, the Zhao family received an invitation from the Pingyang Princess's Mansion, and Mrs. Zhao and others were ecstatic.

When they found out that the invitation was given by Yao Shanyu, and only Zhao Wangshu was invited, they felt regretful.

Mrs. Zhao sighed: "It's a pity, Wangshu is only twelve years old, and the age difference between him and Yao Gongzi is seven years, so it doesn't match." ”

"Yes, it would be nice if Yuzhen was real." Second Mrs. Zhao echoed.

Zhao Yuzhen will be fifteen years old after the New Year, and he will be able to get married when he is married.

"Individuals have their own fate, and it's a good thing that Shu Yatou can enter the eyes of the county lord." Mrs. Zhao said.

"Actually, you can let Wangshu take Yuzhen with you." Second Mrs. Zhao thought this was a very good idea, and clasped her palms, "Sisters should have supported each other." ”

"Old lady, do you think you want to talk to Wangshu about this and ask her to take Yuzhen and them together?" Mrs. Zhao did not make the decision directly, and asked Mrs. Zhao's opinion.

Old Mrs. Zhao pondered for a moment and said, "This time, let Shu Yatou go to the banquet alone, her friendship with the county lord is still shallow, and it is not appropriate to have more branches, and I will talk about it later." ”

"The old lady has a point." Second Mrs. Zhao immediately said.

Mrs. Zhao frowned and glanced at the sycophant.

Three days later, Zhao Wangshu was going to the eldest princess's mansion as a guest, and she decided to bring red chang, green branches, white rong and orange incense.

Before going out, the snow that had been brewing all night was disturbed and fell from the sky.

Old Mrs. Zhao deliberately showed favor, "I remember that in the warehouse, there is a big red multicolored embroidered gold satin cloak, which is suitable for a little girl to wear, magpie, you go and take it out." ”

Zhao Wangshu lowered his head, "Thank you, old lady, but don't be so troublesome, the cloak on my body is also newly made, which can keep out the cold." ”

"What's the trouble with this, you little girls are dressed beautifully, I only like it when I look at it." Mrs. Zhao said happily.

After a short wait, the magpie came in with a large box.

Zhao Wangshu hooked the corners of her lips slightly, and she knew that Mrs. Zhao had already taken it out and prepared it.

"Shu girl, put it on, let me see." Old Lady Zhao smiled lovingly.

The colorful embroidered gold pattern on the cloak is very exquisite, and Mrs. Zhao is quite generous.

"Old lady Xie." Zhao Wangshu reluctantly accepted it, her father and brother were still white, and she couldn't ruin their future willfully.

Zhao Wangshu's skin was already better than snow, and he wore a bright red cloak, which was even more radiant, just like a red plum in the snow, scorching and dazzling.

Seeing that Mrs. Zhao's eyes lit up, with such a posture, she should marry the royal family and make a contribution to the rise of the Zhao family.
