After Xiao Yueming, Su Lan, and Er Mazi left, a man dressed as a scholar asked his friend who was listening carefully to the class next to him, this person was one of the scholars who were surrounding Er Mazi at that time:

"Hey, you see that person is not Master Xiao, alas, at a young age, not only is he outstanding in martial arts, but he also painted first-class paintings, which is really admirable, I think I am nearly thirty years old, but I still have no achievements, waste, waste. ＂

The companion sitting next to him also looked emotional: "That's true, hey, do you remember that someone once made a gambling contract, saying that someone painted a first-class painting, and went to that filthy place to eat feces on the spot?"

"That's right, that's right, it's true, I remember it's a brocade boy, where is this person now?"

After the two of them said that, they hurriedly got up to look for it, but the brocade-clothed boy seemed to have evaporated from the world and disappeared without a trace.

On the Baiyu Tower, the soldiers in charge of guarding did not stop Er Mazi and Su Lan, naturally they were stained with Xiao Yueming's light, and the characters who could let Qianshen and Qianfeng Yu personally invite them to climb the tower were naturally something that ordinary soldiers couldn't afford to provoke.

The three of them went upstairs smoothly, and Er Mazi was curious all the way, this buckle, that touch, Su Lan was calm in her heart, but she had to pretend to be heartbroken, but she secretly discharged her stomach: "What, the girl who lost so much of her tongue wasted so much to come to this rare opportunity to climb the stairs, I didn't expect this place to be so frugal and shabby, and it is not as good as our Huaqingchi's library pavilion." ＂

But Su Lan didn't know that the original intention of the construction of this white jade building was to prosper the country and break the disaster, and the reason why the white jade building is so famous now is because of the holding of the white moon meeting.

Xiao Yueming did not bring the two to the top floor, Qianfeng Yu once said that this top floor is his exclusive place, if he brings someone up privately, for Xiao Yueming's sake, although Qianfeng Yu will not say anything, it is inevitable that something is wrong, Xiao Yueming is not such a person who has no eyesight.

The seventh floor, here and the top floor are still some differences, into the seventh floor, a wide space into the eye, there are five huge stone pillars in the middle, responsible for the support of the building, the stone pillar is also engraved with dense Taoist earthquake fortune charms, the space layout and the building is the same, into an octagonal shape, eight sides are equipped with a platform, the field of vision is extremely broad.

Er Mazi looked around excitedly, but after a while, the excitement dissipated, and he walked slowly to the side of the building, looked at the scenery outside the building, and said to Xiao Yueming next to him: "Xiao Gongzi, this white jade building is high, and the scenery is also first-class, but this is too simple in the house, and it is not as luxurious as the Hongjiao Restaurant we went to." ＂

There is also a stone table next to the platform, a few stone benches, Xiao Yueming sat on the stone bench, and said with a smile: "That's true, but most of the people who come to Baiyulou are some literati and ink writers, and what they pay attention to is the elegant realm. ＂

Er Mazi's eyes were confused, and he looked around suspiciously, but he didn't feel any childish anger, and couldn't help scratching his head.

Su Lan walked on the jade brick, making a crisp sound, playing with the fake beard on the side of her mouth, looking at it casually, she couldn't help but be a little disappointed, suddenly, the wooden box in the corner of the first floor attracted her attention.

Walking briskly, the wooden box is clean and bright, and there is no dust, I think it is often used, open the wooden box, only to see that there are some strange chessboards and chess pieces placed in it, and there is a strange iron vase, it is said to be a vase, but there are three holes, there are a few bamboo strips in it, pointed ends, like arrows.

Su Lan was a little puzzled, not knowing what these strange objects were, so she shouted loudly: "Brother Xiao, Brother Ma, come and see what this is?"

Xiao Yueming and Er Mazi walked to the side of the building where Su Lan was when they heard the sound, Xiao Yueming looked at the objects in the wooden box, squatted down, picked up the strange vase, took it in his hand and looked at it, and said, "This is a pitcher, doesn't Brother Su know?"

"When, of course I know, it's what kind of pitcher, I used to play it a lot when I was a kid. ＂

Su Lan was a little embarrassed, almost revealing her stuffing, and secretly discharged her stomach in her heart, "How do I know what this is, this girl has been on Huaqing Pond since she was a child, except for practicing martial arts and playing the piano, where have I seen these ghost things." ＂

Picking up the strange chessboard, saying that it was a chessboard, but there were two smooth holes, Er Mazi found dozens of spherical chess pieces from the wooden box, and said, "There are also chess pieces here." ＂

"Playing chess?" took over the chessboard in the hands of Er Mazi, Xiao Yueming had lived in Nancheng for five years, and at that time this chess game was widely spread among the people, so he naturally recognized what it was.

grabbed a few spherical chess pieces, rubbed them in his hands, and said: "It feels like it is made of ivory, and the objects that this literati play with are one level higher than those of ordinary people, and these ivory chess pieces are snow-white and smooth, and the value of these chess pieces alone is no less than ten taels of silver." ＂

Putting the chess pieces back into the wooden box, Xiao Yueming said with some emotion: "These objects are intended to be used by those literati and ink writers, although there are also martial artists in this test, but the purpose of those who practice martial arts is only to use the name of the White Moon Club to make their own reputation, and only those who like to dance and play with literature and ink are proud to climb the stairs, and these things are the pastime of those who read." ＂

When Su Lan heard this, he picked up a few snow-white ivory chess pieces with some curiosity, tossed them in his hand, and looked at the strange chessboard with two holes, and his heart was about to move:

"That, anyway, it's idle now, and there is nothing worth seeing in this white jade building, why don't we also learn from those literati and try these things?"

"That's not bad, I think I'll be able to be a serious reader for a while. ＂

Er Mazi crossed his hands on his waist, and his face was full of self-satisfaction.

Listening to Su Lan's suggestion, Xiao Yueming also felt very good, put the chessboard in the wooden box on the table, and then the three of them sat down with each other.

After placing the chess pieces, Xiao Yueming proposed: "This chess game, if there is no bet, this fun will be lost by half, it is better to win two games in three games, and the loser will be fined three glasses of wine, how about it?"

Su Lan and Er Mazi both nodded in agreement, and Er Mazi first sat in front of Xiao Yueming and started the first game.

Su Lan didn't know the rules, but he couldn't rashly ask, he was now a man who was born in the countryside and had run a business for a living, how could he not know about the chess game that was widely spread among the people? Su Lan could only observe the two people who had already started the game, and carefully studied the game of playing chess.

The gameplay of this chess game is quite simple, after three games, Xiao Yueming and Er Mazi scored 2 to 1, Su Lan watched it so far, and also figured out the rules:

There are two holes on the chessboard of this chessboard, there are a total of 12 chess pieces, each side holds six chess pieces, after they are placed, hit the opponent's chess pieces with the chess pieces of the other side, so that their own chess pieces shoot into the round hole of the opponent, and shoot all six chess pieces first for the winner.

Er Mazi picked up the wine jug on the table, poured a full cup for himself, took a sip into his throat, it was extremely sweet, and after drinking three glasses in a row, Er Mazi's face was full of comfort and happiness.
